You know that weird feeling when you were playing Undertale and Snowdin was completely empty on the genocide route? That's how it felt for us. Everyone who saw me in sight were rushing into homes and stores for safety. Those that weren't were protesting against me for bringing a wolf inside of a rich town. I was ignoring them and walking around the city, getting a layout of the town. No doubt Celestia would be on my ass for bringing a wolf with me, but how else do I get here quick? I would need to find a hiding place where I can do combat research in peace. Remember how I said that I was ignoring the protesters? Well, they got my attention when one of them threw a vase at me. Of course I blocked it with a tab, but still. I turned around, trying to mark out who it was.

"Who threw that?" I glared at the crowd. They stopped their protesting at once, except this one pony who was squabbling about my kind not belonging here. Apparently Fluttershy knew who this was, because I immediately knew his name. "Was that you, Prince Blueblood?" I tilted my head to the side. My glare didn't seem to work on him.

"Yes it was! Who told you that you were allowed into this city?!" He seemed to be much angrier than I was.

"Celestia did. She said she wanted to chat with me, but something tells me the guards at the gate will tell me otherwise. So I'm just doing a little exploring while I wait." I answered. He was disgusted that I didn't use 'Princess' before his name, but was more focused on my alibi.

"If that's true, then why have you brought one of those wooden mutts here as well?!" Go ahead Blueblood. Build my anger one step at a time. If it's a death wish you have, then I'm willing to make it come true.

"He's my companion, and if you call him a wooden mutt again, I will kick your ass." I said calmly. He looked at me in disbelief.

"You? Kick my hindquarters?" He laughed. "When Princess Celestia gets here, how about we have a honor duel of our own?" Now I was starting to care for his words.

"I'm listening." I looked to him with interest. Before he could speak, however, Celestia finally managed to get here with 4 guards around her. Blueblood stopped what he was doing and bowed to her, along with all the other protesters. Now that I realize it, how the hell did ponies make signs so damn fast? Did they just have it ready? Celestia took one good look at Blueblood and looked unamused for the briefest of moments before fake smiling.

"What is going on here, my little ponies?" She said calmly, smiling. I knew a practiced facade all too well, and that one must mean that the ponies here see her as a benevolent ruler. I may just challenge her for fun instead of for the throne now.

"This ape walked into our town with this wooden abomination," I gave Blueblood a death glare, "and I'm making him know his place by challenging him to an honor duel!" She looked at me and I looked back to her.

"I was going to accept anyway. As for the so called 'wooden abomination' as you call it, this is my companion, "I looked to him, "Alpha, I'm surprised you didn't get mad." He made a sound which was equivalent to a shrug.

"Do you even know how honor duels work?" She asked.

"No, I don't. Care to enlighten me?" I answered with a question.

"An honor duel is something only nobles can do. What I mean by that is that nobles can also challenge commoners and other foreigners, but it can't be the other way around. Commoners are not allowed to challenge nobles to stop all possible chaos of wanting to be a royal from happening. Even though nobles can challenge commoners, it's very rare that they do, for the fact that there is no purpose in it. In honor duels, the one who was challenged makes the rules, and cheating results in a disqualification. If a person of lower rank wins against someone in higher rank, the ranks between them become equal." Celestia frowned, "You could become a noble if you win." I smiled.

"Oh really now?" I said. I looked back to Blueblood. "So I make the rules right?"

"Oh, I would worry if I were you, ape!" He gave me a smug smile. Celestia watched on with a frown. I guess this guy is annoying in general to everyone. "I could beat you in anything." I looked to Celestia.

"Are there any boundaries to what I can challenge?" I asked.

"No, so long as the challenger agrees." Celestia answered neutrally.

"Alright, then how about this. All magic or weapons, including deadly ones, are allowed. We fight until someone forfeits or until first blood. Do you have a deal?" My turn for a smug expression. Celestia and the crowd looked at me with disbelief while Blueblood gulped.

"Y-you got yourself a deal! We battle tomorrow at noon in front of the castle!" He marched off, but I noticed the edge in his voice and his shaking legs. Guess he got startled. Celestia gave me a terrified look.

"Why would you propose those terms?" She asked, "Are you that confident?" I smiled to her.

"To be honest, I'm just going to play with him a little bit. I would've been nice and proposed something a little less deadly, but.." I scratched the back of my head, "He called my friend a wooden mutt."

"But I don't believe violence would solve a problem now would it?" She asked, hoping I would reconsider.

"He will either forfeit and leave me alone, or die to save his petty pride. I suggest you talk to him about turning down the challenge." Either way, he'll leave me alone, right? Celestia stuttered over her words before sighing.

"Alright. I will talk to him before he gets himself killed," She and her guards walked past me and the crowd, "I've seen your strength, and you could possibly rival Discord with that magic." Discord? Who was that? It must be a powerful being if Celestia herself said he was powerful. I would have to challenge him later. Celestia went to take her leave, but I stopped her.

"When do you want to have that chat?" I asked. She turned around and looked at me.

"Preferably after this honor duel mess is solved." She answered, "You're welcome to stay inside of the castle for the time being." She gave me some sort of medal. "Show that to the guards on your way in." I nodded and she took her leave.

"Well Alpha, you heard her." I scratched behind his ear, "To the castle we go." He howled and full sprinted toward the gate. We got there is short order and would've kept full sprinting if the guards hadn't stopped us.

"We do not allow outside races without a noble's permission. Turn back now." They were trained to be calm, so no use taunting them. I showed them the medal and one of the guards verified it. Passing their little scan test, they allowed me entry. I'm surprised they never questioned the wolf I was riding on, but I guess it's their job to be stoic. On the medal was the room number that I would be assigned to for the time being. I wanted to sleep, and no it's not because I am tired. I learned that when I sleep, my magic can overhaul my energy and I wont use any in combat for a short amount of time. Basically, I have infinite energy for as much time as I slept.

'Not like I needed any more benefits.' I'm pretty sure I could win against an army of ponies, but I'm not going to test that until I'm sure. Although I will need practice, so I'll ask Celestia later if she knows of any countries being at war and what side was losing. As I traveled through the hallways, nobles and maids alike scream and ran from Alpha, which was a funny show to watch to say the least. We approached our room and used the metal to get inside. As I opened the door, I noticed that everything was actually big and not pony sized. Not surprising, considering that some of these rooms hold foreigners and not everyone is a pony. I got off of Alpha and walked into the bathroom. The shower and sink were all up to size, to my surprise. I may actually thank Celestia because I'm tired of using my magic to do basic things. I walked out of the bathroom to see Alpha curled up on a sofa, his snoozes filling the air. I guess I minus well sleep too, huh? I used magic to change my attire to shorts and a white shirt and got inside of the bed.

'Now I have an idea of what I can wear tomorrow. Ain't I gonna look badass?' Those were my last thoughts before I went to sleep.

I woke up the next morning feeling like I drank 4 large cups of coffee in only a few seconds. That was meant to imply that I feel like doing everything and anything today. I had 30 minutes before my target practice with Blueblood. Plenty of time. As I think about his name, I realized how his name connected to himself. His blood was cold and merciless, or at least that's how Fluttershy pictured him. It all makes sense now that I see it. Anyways, I reformed my clothes from the shorts and white t-shirt to a black trench coat with some black jeans. I went to the bathroom to look at myself.

'Now that is what I call an attire.' Honestly, it looked really cool. I shut off the lights and walked out of the bathroom to see Alpha testing his skills on a training dummy I made for him. Just because I don't like him, I made it look like Blueblood. If you are wondering when I made it, it was because Alpha would always train himself on trees and house walls. Since this is a castle, I don't want him damaging anything, so I made him a training dummy that actually tries to block or dodge his swipes. Alpha has yet to miss his swipes.

"You ready to go Alpha?" He stopped slashing and trotted out the door. "I'll take that as a yes." I hurried out with him.

We made it to the castle entrance in short order, arriving in time to see a crowd of ponies along with Celestia and Blueblood waiting for me. As me and Alpha walked over, Celestia looked at me.

"You look like you just ate a bag of sugar." She commented.

"It's what happens when I sleep. I wake up the next morning feeling like caffeine the person."

"Is that so?" I nodded. "Well, Blueblood seems confident that he can beat you, so shall we start?" I nodded again. I told Alpha to wait in the crowd. Everyone who was there gave the wolf its space as he sat down and watched. That got a chuckle out of me.

"Time to make this ape remember to know his place." Blueblood was very sure of himself now was he.

"Hmph." I said smiling. "You don't even look that tough." Oops! Looks like I offended him.

"I'll have you know that I am quite the fighter!" He said angrily.

"We'll see I guess." I summon [VTabs] and waited for Celestia's countdown. Everyone in sight looked at me in awe.

"What are these?" Celestia asked, "I saw you use them against Twilight, but I never knew what they were."

"This is a spell that I call [VTabs]." I answered. Celestia looked confused, so I explained. "It allows me to make spells really easily and the stats of my opponent. Each tab can also be used as a weapon. I researched into them a bit more before my battle with Twilight and found that I could also see how many swords are possible to summon at one time."

"And how many is that?" Celestia didn't like what she was hearing.

"Right now I can summon about 280 at any given time." Celestia looked terrified, "That number continues to grow the more I use my energy." She wanted to speak, but nothing came out of her mouth. Instead she walked to Blueblood.

"Blueblood, I was asking before, but now I am begging you! Don't fight him! He could slaughter you immediately if he wanted to!" Touching thought but I don't like my battles ending in less than a minute. The dumbass looks to Celestia with determination.

"I will fight him and I will win." This prick just doesn't know when to give up, does he? Celestia sighed and slowly trotted away from him, looking down. She stopped in the middle of the field.

"We will now begin the honor duel between Prince Blueblood and...."

"Axel Dixon."

"Right." She cleared her throat. "We will now begin the honor duel between Prince Blueblood and Axel Dixon. The rules are as follows. Any and all types of magic and weaponry are allowed." Everypony watching looked confused on why there were practically no rules. "The honor duel stops when one concedes or is dead." Everypony now gave a horrified look. "These rules were proposed by Axel Dixon. Prince Blueblood, do you accept these terms?" Celestia looked to him. He hesitated for a second before accepting. Celestia sighed, "Alright then. The battle will begin in 3." She moved toward the side opposite of the crowd. "3..."

"Do you have a death wish ape?" Blueblood asked.

"2..."

"Try me." I said.

"1.... FIGHT!" On the signal, Blueblood ran to ambush me with a pristine looking sword in his magical grasp. I'm gonna toy with him for a while. Every time Blueblood came for a slash, I would dodge it with ease.

"I thought this was going to be a fight." I deadpanned, still moving out of the way of the sword. The prick didn't speak, but kept on slashing. The crowd watched looked amazed by how easy I was avoiding the sword. As the fight went on, Celestia got more and more nervous. After a few minutes, Blueblood stopped his advances, panting harder than Alpha after using [Overkill Slash]. The crowd was now silent, continuing to look surprised. "Are you done yet?" He screamed and slashed again, but to no avail. "You're gonna die by exhaustion at this rate." I facepalmed. He looked at me with a fire in his eyes.

"I will end you, creature!" I guess he's pissed.

"They should call you Prince Hotblood. I think it's more fitting." His slashes continued on, having significantly more power but also significantly less accuracy. I'm not even trying.

"Fight me!" He said, now giving me a dark glare.

"Fine..." I went to impale him, but he jumped out of the way and fell onto the ground. As he did this, another sword was coming. He managed in time to roll out of the way. I sat there criss-crossed, watching him dodge. "Eh, I'm bored. Can I end this now?

"Do your worst!" He really does have a death wish.

"Okay." I snapped my fingers and hands from the ground grabbed at Blueblood's legs. After a few moments, the hands started their work of pulling Blueblood through the ground, threatening to suffocate him to death. "Do you concede?"

"Never!" The hands pulled down another 2 inches, "I will never get up!"

"Do you want to die?" Blueblood answered with his pride instead of his voice.

"You will never defeat me! I could beat you or your wooden mutt any day." Hmm..

"Oops!" I pretended to accidentally snap my fingers and Blueblood suddenly dropped down 2 feet, his head only being visible. He started to look scared now.

"W-Wait!" He said before I could snap again. "I concede! I concede! Now please let me out!" The crowd and the princess looked towards me. I sat up and went over to him. Kneeling, I punched him in the nose. Celestia hurried towards me and the crowd looked on in bewilderment.

"Insult Alpha again," I gave my darkest glare, "I fucking dare you." I punched him again. "Say that he is a wooden mutt! I promise you that I will end you in the worst way possible, regardless of your cries!" Blueblood and Celestia were shook beyond belief.

"That's enough," Celestia put a hoof on my shoulder, "You win. Now can you free Blueblood please?" She pleaded with me. I'm glad she knows who is stronger between the two of us, because if she ordered me then I probably would've challenged her.

"I will in time, but first," I reshaped a tab into a bat, "He must repay for his actions." Celestia looked with disbelief before standing in between us.

"You will not hit Blueblood. You've already won, so what more than that do you want?" She was still pleading for Blueblood's safety. I was now getting impatient.

"I could hit you too if you really wanted that." I reasoned. I'm not taking the time to explain this shit. She was all about benevolence and friendship anyway, so she should get the picture. Most of the crowd was now shaking at my confidence to beat one of the two princesses. Celestia's guards went to intervene, but a hoof from the princess stopped them. She thought about it for a few moments, wondering how to get out of this situation peacefully. When her head came up with nothing, her voice got super quiet.

"Please make sure he doesn't die." This reminded me of Fluttershy, and that was funny coming from the highest rank of them all. I nodded and gave her a thumbs up, giving her time to move out the way. Before I raised the bat-tab, I checked up on Blueblood's current condition. His mouth and nose were both bleeding up a storm, and his left eye looked swollen. He stared up at me with a pleading look before screaming.

"No! Please!" He begged. He was met with silence as I took a swinging position. As the bat swung, he screamed the entire time. As the bat landed, his ear looked flattened and he was out cold. Taking a check on his breathing, it was labored as I wanted it to be. Satisfied, I snapped my fingers and Blueblood was raised from my trap card. As he was let out, he immediately fell on the floor, unresponsive to the world around him. Celestia and a medic appeared right next to Blueblood, checking his condition. My work done, I went back to my room and chilled for a bit. No doubt everyone would be scared of me now.

An hour after the easy fight with Blueblood, I was reading some of the books that lined the bookshelves. As I was reading, a guard, who seemed terrified might I add, knocked on the door. How did I know it was a guard? Well before the visitor knocked, I heard the clanking of metal. I opened the door and she looked at me to speak... only for nothing to come out of her mouth. I raised an eyebrow.

"Are you going to speak?" I asked neutrally. She flinched from my words.

"P-P-Princess Celestia w-would l-like a w-w-word with you." She stuttered over her words more than a mentally disabled person. I made my best thinking pose.

"Did she say what it was about?" She flinched again. "Look, you do realize I don't hurt just anybody I come across right? I only did it to Blueblood because he called my wolf a mutt." That didn't seem to ease her mind any.

"I-I know, and actually m-most of the guard actually l-l-looks up to you."

"Are you being for real?" She rapidly nodded. "Tell me more." That looked to have eased her up. Enough to stop her stuttering anyway.

"We can talk on the way to the princess. I'm your escort." She said triumphantly. I chuckled.

"Alright then, but before we get to that topic, did she say what it was about?" I asked again. She looked towards me.

"She only told me that she wanted to have a chat with you, but not the exact topic." She answered. I guess it must be a private talk then.

"Okay. By the way I didn't catch your name." I said neutrally. She smiled to me.

"My name is Snowy Blossom, what's yours?" What is up with fucking pegasi naming themselves after the weather?

"My name is Axel. Axel Dixon." I replied.

"It's nice to meet you!" You were scared a fucking minute ago. I didn't think my small talk about who I fight would help your anxiety to this extent.

"Now, about that guard story." I looked to her as we walked down the hallway.

"Well, Prince Blueblood was the one who orchestrated the procedures of the military. He was always being a jerk to any guard that talked to him, so we didn't like him very much. You don't know how many times our general wanted to sock him, but couldn't because of his ranked status. Almost every week, Blueblood would come to the sparring ring and battle a random guard, except it was totally unfair. If you lost, then you would look like a bloody battered mess. If you won, Blueblood would make sure that you never saw the light of day again. You don't know how many times I've had to watch some of my friends, and even my younger sister, be put in solitary confinement for two decades because they won against a noble." She started to tear up. "Most of us guards lost hope in ever getting revenge against him, some even leaving the guard. When you managed to beat Blueblood into unconsciousness and come out on top without penalty from the princesses or other nobles, it gave us hope. So please, I beg of you." She trotted ahead to stop my advance, and turned around to look at me. "Come to the sparring ring some time, will you?" She asked.

"Maybe if this chat goes well, I can visit right afterward and see what is going on." I replied. She was satisfied with my answer.

"I'll hold you to that." We stopped our conversation here and she escorted me inside of the throne room. I looked in amazement on how big it was. In the far side of the room was Celestia and a vacant seat, most likely for her royal sister. Snowy bowed before the throne.

"I have brought him, your highness." Celestia smiled to her.

"I'm glad that you could, now I would like to ask all of the guards to leave the room, if you will?" That was an order, not a question. Some of the guards were hesitant at leaving me alone with the princess. "I guarantee you that I will not be harmed." They took their word for it and walked out. I would have to keep in touch with Snowy Blossom. She is the only one I give a shit about anyway. Celestia frowned at me. "Don't we have a lot to talk about?" She asked.

"That's up to you, because I was invited here. Although I probably already know what this is going to be about." Celestia nodded. "Do you have anywhere I could sit?" She nodded and lit up her horn to bring an average looking wooden chair in front of the throne. At least it was actually up to size. As I got seated, Celestia started our chat.

"I would like to talk to you about your fight with Blueblood, because I haven't gotten the story on how it ended up like that." She said, tone completely serious. God this is gonna take some time to explain. This right here is going to be a long day.
