Names Zak Law, when I died I was offered power and in exchange I protect a world from a threat it can’t handle.

Ever been murdered? It’s not fun.
As I was in a state of limbo, this horse lady offered me a chance to be reborn. And I get any power of my choosing! I mean I have to fight the demon clan but I think I can manage.

So as any sane person would do, I accept.

Crossover include Seven Deadly Sin and Overlord. Maybe more in the future.

Chapter One: Death and Meeting a God?

“Give me your money!” some idiot yelled at me as I was walking to the convince store near my house. Looking back I saw some dude with a black ski mask shakily pointing a gun at me. I could tell from his voice and height he was only around 17.

Now any normal person would comply with the mugger, but I just started laughing. Cocking the gun the dude started shaking even more. “What the fuck are you laughing at, do yo-“ was all he got to say before I rushed him, knocking the gun out of his hand. The gun landed in the middle of the street so I’m good now.

“Idiot, next time you try to rob someone at least pretend you are actually going to kill them. Keep your hand steady while pointing the gun someone and they might take you seriously.” After I said that the dude dropped to his knees, I noticed a tear streaming down his face. “I’ll be generous and let you go,” I said while I started walking away. “But don’t ever think about doing this again! If you do this again and I find out, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”

I was careless. While I was talking the kid got up, with hate in his eyes. He pulled out a knife and stabbed me in the back. I looked up and saw the kid without his mask on looking at me with fear and sadness in his eyes. That didn’t stop him from taking all of the shit I had on me though. He glanced at me one more time before running away. I suddenly to felt cold, everything around me was slowly turning black, I felt... relaxed.

“Poor kid... well it was my fault for turning my back on him,” I said with a frown on my face as I died, but it felt like I was falling.

In the void my body lay motionless while it falls, all I see is black. I then start to hear screams coming closer and closer, and my I started to feel my body burning all over. Then it hit me, I was going to hell! Well shit....

In a second all the pain vanished, I felt like I was being carried by somebody, who was big, soft, and warm. I passed out cold in the arms of my savior.

”I need to get rid of this memory, hearing the screams of the dammed would metally scar a mortal. This being said as it erased my memory of all that just occurred.

”Zak”

“...”

”Zak!”

“Mmm..”

”Zak Law”

“FUCK!”

”You’ve awoken, very good,” said a voice I didn’t recognize. I got up looked around and saw a anthro horse lady wearing a Greek Goddess dress. She was like 6’5 which is big compared to my 5’9 self. She also had big light blue eyes, Snow white fur, a red mane(?), wings, and a horn. I also noticed that above her head she had a halo!

Then I realized, I was stabbed! I should be dead! I wanted answers, no I needed answers.

“I’m gonna need an explanation before I freak out,” I said trying to stay calm.

”I was already going to explain. My world, Equis, is about to face a dangerous threat that my clan sealed away thousands of years ago. Since I can no longer interfere with the mortal realm I need you to fight them for me.”

“And what by chance makes you think I’m willing to help you? Even if I want to help I doubt I have the power to do so, I’m only human.”

”Do not be afraid child, for I will give you the gift of any power you choose, along with a new body of your choice if you want. Also you will not be fighting alone. My world is similar to two tv shows form earth, Seven Deadly Sins and My Little Pony. So you will have to find the other sins, if you accept my offer that is.” She said with a smirk knowing I was a huge weeb and would accept.

This is a good deal, I just have to think up the powers I want. My friends tell me that MLP is about magic, so I’ll need to be powerful in magic and close combat if I want to live. And since it also related to SDS demons will be preset, but should I chose one of the four archangels body’s so I can use ark? Or should I choose one of the demons body’s instead? I’ve made up my mind, it’s not the best for a body but it comes with its perks.

“Ok, I accept your offer. For my powers and abilities I want all of Ainz Ooal Gowns, along with all of the items in his inventory. For my body I want Zeldris. He’s a demon which gives me a long life span and great regeneration abilities, and if I really need it the Indura form.” I really hope she accepts this because I really like Zeldris and Ainz’s powers.

She looked to be lost in thought but quickly looked at me with a smile. ”That is acceptable, although you will not have Zeldris magical ability you will have to figure out what yours is. Since you wanted Ainz’s power your sacred treasure will be the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. Speaking of sacred treasure I will give you the power to grant your fellow sins sacred treasures as well” she said as she pulled out a book and flipped open, “Because of your knowledge of the weapons you’ve seen in anime, movies, games, etc. this spell will search your memory for a suitable sacred treasure for the sins.” As she finished talking the book started to float in front of her. She then placed her hand on one of the cover of the book, ”When the time comes you must say these words ‘Search my mind! Chose a worthy weapon for the one I behold! Memory-make magic: Sacred Treasure!’ I have imprinted these words in your mind so you don’t forget.”

After she said that it felt as if my head burning! It ended after a few seconds though so all it’s good. But I’ve been having a question on my mind since she mentioned the sins. But before that..

“Hey, what’s your name?”

”Oh, how rude of me, my name is Lauren Faust.” While saying that I saw a tent of red adorn her cheeks before it went away just as quick as it got there.

“So.... Faust, what sin am I?”

”Pride,” she said while looking down at me with a gentle smile.

That was the last thing a saw before I felt pain all over my body. And for the second time today everything went black.

Author's Note

Yeah, first time writing. I was originally gonna do this but with Gilthunder with the Goro Goro no Mi fruit but it was to hard.

So yeah, I don’t have a schedule for this I’m only doing it for fun.

Chapter Two: Saving Whitey

Regaining consciousness, I immediately open my eyes. Looking around I noticed that I was surrounded by trees on all sides. Looking closer I realize that those are oak trees, so I'm in a forest. Great. Since there is really nothing to do, I'll open up my inventory to see what's in it.

Reaching out into the air I noticed that my hand has Zeldis' glove on. It feels natural on my hand almost as if I have no glove on. Something was different though, I had the ring of Ainz Ooal Gown on embedded on my right ring finger. And the Shooting Star ring on my left middle finger. On my left pinky finger there was one I didn't recognize. It had a silver outline and a big blue gem in it. The problem is that Ainz had 10 rings, this is only three, I'll try to contact Faust if I can to see whats up.

Back to my other goods. Reaching out in the air, my hand was swallowed by the familiar black portal. Once my hand entered I got information on whats in there, my staff and.... A pitcher of water. That’s it. There's no way... That can't be it. Pulling out this stupid pitcher, there was a note attached to it.

Dear Zak Law,

After I sent you off I went to give you your new powers, but I couldn't find what 7 of those rings on Ainz Ooal Gown's fingers did. Also because your not the same race as Ainz Ooal Gown you won't have his advantages. Another thing is that he only had a pitcher of water in his inventory as everything of importance was located in Nazarick. Because of this I went to the a wiki page(yes, I have a phone) and gave you all of the tier magic they had on it, as well as all of Ainz's super tier magic. Your final gift I will give you is the ability to create a custom NPC of your choice. Now run along and find the other sins!

Faust has a phone, ok then, whatever. A rush of information entered my head causing a small headache cause discomfort . Well I still basically have all the powers and more that I wanted. And as a plus I can make a NPC! I guess I can do that now.

Thanks to the new information, I now know that I have to enter my mindscape to create my NPC. I’ll need to find somewhere that’s not out in the open to go do this. Picking a random direction to walk in while looking around for a place to meditate I hear a scream coming from from the right of me.

Well I can’t just ignore that can I? Even though I really want to. Kicking off the ground with more force than intended, I was like a missile zooming towards the scream. Within seconds I found my self next to what appears to be a mining site. Canceling out the surrounding sound trying to listen for the voice that screamed, I waited for any noise. I picked up protesting and the sounds of a struggle in the cave so I decided to go down.

I found some ugly bipedal dog creature yanking at the chain of a white pony with purple hair. Taking a step closer some other dogs noticed me and ran over.

“What you here for monkey,” one of the dogs said. Now I’ve never been called a monkey before and was taken aback by his insults. I stepped closer to the dog, which caught the attention of the purple haired mare.

“You, who is but a bug beneath my feet, dare call me a monkey.” I wasn’t very happy with this over grown dog. Also can I just point out I am super small. I‘m 5 foot now! A whole 9 inches smaller than what I used to be! So this deformed dog is towering over me at his 5’7 height.

Coming back to reality I see the dog pulling out a sword while glaring daggers at me. “You think you can kill me? How foolish, I sentence you to death.”
When I finished saying that I started drawing out my sword.

“No stop! He’s only a colt! Forgive him please,” screamed the purple haire- whitey. She looked horrified and upset. I wonder why? Back to he fight, both of our swords are fully drawn. Waiting for the dog to make the first move I just stared at him.

Ok I sense more dogs surrounding me now. I guess I’ll kill them all. The dog in front of me smirked as a dog ran up behind me and tried to stab me. Then his face fell into one of shock, anger, and fear when I kicked a hole clean through the one behind me. Leaving me with a blood soaked shoe I’ll have to clean later.

“You kill Spot! We Kill you!” Screamed all the dogs. While three dogs in front of me started coming at me I remembered that I can eat souls of living beings. I adorned a sinister smile that made all of the dogs, and Whitey quiver in fear. Rushing at the 3 dogs that were in front of me I cut all of there legs off in a blink of an eye. Turning around I counted how many left. Three down 6 more to go.

Two dogs yelled while running at me with spears. The one to the right of me thrusted his spear at my head, so I moved out the way and let his spear sink into the stomach of the dog on the other side of me. I have to end this quickly before the they bleed out. Slicing the dogs legs off I made my way for the other four.

While they where all paralyzed in fear I walked up and collected the souls. The all fell to the ground while blankly staring into space. Eating one of the souls I immediately felt stronger. As a plus it tasted good. Putting the other three in my inventory, I went around collecting the other 5 souls. I couldn’t help my self and ate another while putting the rest in my inventory.

Spotting Whitey cowering in a corner I started heading over to her. She noticed me approaching and curled into a ball. Poor thing probably thinks I’m going to kill her too.

Grabbing her arms she let out a little scream. With my sword I cut the chains she had around her wrist. She looked up at me with surprise and fear evident on her face. “Little pony, I will not hurt you,” I said much to her shock.”Now run along back to your family.”

“Thank you,” she whispered weakly as she started running to the entrance getting blood on her hooves. “I’m not a colt by the way!” I called out to her as I turned away waking further inside the mine.

I know it’s not the first time I killed anyone, but that was super brutal. But it was also super fun!

Hope you enjoy! This was my first time writing a fight scene so if you don’t mind, could you tell me how I did.

Chapter Three: New Follower

I came across more dogs deeper in the cave, which I swiftly dealt with. As I was looking around I came across rooms which had stuff in them. I found tons of gems and gold coins in them. Fun fact, one side of the coins had a sun while the other had a moon. The last thing I found were a bunch of strawberries. Stuffing all of the loot in my inventory I found a room and sat down to meditate.

Emptying my mind was easy for some reason. I 'opened' my eyes and was greeted by a black void with three bars shining with different lights. The bar that was the largest and had a rainbow light emitting from it. I guess that its my Yggdrasil magic. The second bar was the just a little smaller than than the first and had a deep purple glowing from it. That has to be my darkness. I couldn't make out the color for the third, but it felt familiar. This must be my own magic that Faust talked about.

Getting back on track with why I'm here I concentrated on how to make my new subordinate. Suddenly a menu popped up in front of me.

Gender
Race
Height
Skin Tone
Hairstyle
Eye Color
Magic/Power
Unique Ability(optional)
Clothing
Background

"What is this a video game?" After saying that I tried to press gender, but my finger just phased through it. What am I supposed to do? Use voice commands? Mentally press it? Imaging the Gender option being pressed in my mind did nothing. Lets give VC a shot.

"Gender!"

Nothing... Well ok. 'Closing' my eyes I imagined myself back in my room with my PC and how much simpler it would be to just use this. Letting out an exasperated sigh I 'opened' my eyes back up and in front of me was my PC!

Oh yeah, I'm in my mind. Using the mouse I clicked on gender and it brought me to another screen.

Gender:
Male/Female

Clicking male, a males silhouette popped up on the right side of the screen. Ok were making progress.... Onto the next! Clicking Race brought me to a ton of options. This'll take awhile....

Race:
Undead
Vampire
Zombie
Spirit
Cyborg
Angel
Elf
Dark Elf
Ghoul
Dragon
Pony
Griffion
Alicorn
Minotaur
Sayian
Human
Demon
Fairy
Giant
Click here to see more!

Holy shit there's more! Wanting to see more I clicked and was greeted with an abundance of options. There were things from mythology, anime, movies and Tv. You name it! There was one choice that caught my attention, fallen. How perfect would that be, a demon and a fallen angel pair. Choosing fallen I was caught completely off guard when a giant bipedal animal abomination popped up. Now that I’ve stopped and looked at it, these are the Fallen from How not to Summon a Demonlord.

Still that’s not what I wanted, at all. Going back to my choices I looked for fallen angel but sadly I couldn't find it. Giving up I chose angel.

Race:
Angel/Fallen angel
Or just for you my lovable little sin, make your own!

Sweet! Clicking make your own I got many options that I don't feel like repeating so I'll only go over the important bit. First I gave my angel six jet black wings. Then I made it so that choosing this option they'll have a sign of corruption that will appear randomly on the character. Next I gave it all of the original powers and abilities of a normal angel. The last thing is that I just made it that their ears a slightly pointy. I named it True Fallen. Back to work...

After hours of work I finally made my perfect Angel! Now because I don't want to bore you with all of the extra details I'll just sum it up.

For height I went with 5'11 so he can reach things on top of the shelf. No I just always wanted to be 5'11. For eye color I chose amber. I gave him pale white skin, to match his hair. His hairstyle was stolen from Thor(pre-Ragnarok), but instead was a pale blonde color. The signs of corruption were shown as black streaks of hair randomly across his head.

Magic power was already given as an angel so he has light and holy magic. I also gave him an affinity for lightning magic. As for unique ability, I gave him something special. He can now disrupt the magic of anyone he looks at and predict movements with his right eye. These two ability's combined in his right eye change it. His amber eye changed to light blue, while the white of the eye changed to black. I've dubbed it The Unholy Eye.

For his clothes I chose Sabo's outfit. Instead of the blue shirt I made it grey, gave him black denim pants, got rid of Sabo's hat, goggles, and gloves. He has black leather sports boots too. I also gave him a ring of Yggdrasil, I renamed the ring of Ainz Ooal Gown. And for his background I made him good at cooking, cleaning, sewing, and just basic things. Not really sure if this will work or not but I programmed him to have knowledge of this new world were in. Of course he has his own free will if you were wondering.

All I need now is a name for him. Lucifer.... Simon... Hmm... Abel? I got it! His name is Simon Cain Morningstar. He doesn't have a middle name mind you. He has two first names! My late brother had two names so I did that in memory of him.

Finally opening my eyes I stood and saw Simon kneeling under me. With a smile on my face I looked down at him.

"Rise."

"Yes, father." He stood arms against his sides with a smile on his face. Might I mention he looks like the handsomest 20 year old in the world. "May we go search for the sins now, my liege." Walking past him I nodded.

Author's Note

This was mainly so I could introduce the NPC. Not really happy with how the chapter came out but, it is what it is.

Next time we meet the Mane Six!

Chapter Four: Take me to your leader

Taking some strawberries out of my inventory I threw some to Simon. While he ate his I pulled some more out for me. Walking to the entrance to get out of this cave that reeks of death, I could hear voices up ahead. Looking back to Simon he nodded signaling that he heard them too. We were right around the corner from the entrance. Peeking my head out I counted 15 pony guards in golden armor equipped with spears. Eight unicorns, four pegasus, and three normal ones. The weird thing is that they all look identical accept you can tell which gender is which.

"Miss Rarity can you point us in the direction you saw the colt fight the diamond dogs?" After the guard asked that Whitey walked in with 5 others.

"Yes, darling. Do be prepared for a ghastly sight. He... killed all of the diamond dogs." She pointed in my direction. I guess that's our que to come out. Quickly pulling my staff I walk out of the shadows along with Simon. Doing this caused all of the to jump. The guards quickly regained their composure and pointed their spears at us. Whitey looked terrified, not that I would blame her.

"What kind of monsters are you?"
"Stay back freaks!"
"Why are there hairless apes in here?"

As they continue to hurl insults at us, I didn't realize but I cast Despair Aura mixed with my own bloodlust. As you can imagine, that shut them up real good.

"You would be wise to not insult someone the first time you meet. It leaves a bad impression." I said in a cold, emotionless voice. "Now why have you come here?" Of course I knew why they came but they don't know that. A unicorn stepped forward, I'm guessing the captain of this little group, and spoke up.

"We came here to arrest the Diamond dogs responsible for foalnapping Miss Rarity. Now we have another goal and that is to take you in for the illegal use of dark magic. Even if you are a colt we'll be taking you to the Princesses," he said in a calm tone. When I looked into his eyes though I could tell he was nervous.

"And if I refuse?"

"Then we will take you by force," he said in a low tone trying to intimidate me.

"You are a fool if you think you can beat me," I said with a straight face flaring my magic a bit. He started to gather magic in his horn in an attempt to scare me. Foolish.

While we were staring each other down I caught a glimpse of a rainbow. Curios I looked behind him and saw a blue pony with a rainbow mane in athletic clothes flying towards me with a sour look on her face. Just as she was about to get in my face Simon spread his wings and flew to intercept her. Catching her by the throat she yelped in pain.

"What were you about to do?" Simon said with a smile on his face. Behind that smile I could see pure rage that was increasing by the second.

"I gonna teach that freak his pla-" was all she could get out before Simon started to choke her. "RAINBOW DASH!" her friends called out to her while running over. Simon just looked over and made the magical pressure in the room skyrocket.

Everyone except for the purple mare, and the captain dropped straight to the ground. I was perfectly fine of course. The purple mare however fell to her knees throwing up while the captain was still standing on shaky legs.

I continued to let Simon do as he wanted before I no longer found the situation amusing. “Simon, that is enough.” He looked back at me and dropped Rainbow Dash. Folding his wings back in they disappear, he then slightly bows before he takes his place behind me. Looking the captain straight in the eye, I continued,”I will allow you to bring us to these ‘princesses’ you speak of. Do not get overconfident. This will merely help me in the long run.”

We had to wait a couple of minutes before everyone got back up. The guards surrounded us wearily, then we left.

(Canterlot Castle)

Durning the trip no one dared to utter a word. I did however notice that the ponies were stealing glances at me. The purple one was the only one who openly stared at me.

The captain of the group knocked on the throne room doors.

“Princes Celestia we have brought the one who saved Rarity.”

We heard a ‘Enter’ then he opened the doors. The captain then moved to the side as did the rest of the guards. The six pony’s ran to the front of where they quickly hid behind the thrones. This left me and Simon at the entrance.

Directly across from us were two tall ponies the same type as Faust. One was blue with a mane and tail full of stars that blown in the nonexistent wind. She wore dark blue/black armor with a crescent moon in the middle of it. She carried a scythe that was longer then her. That’s saying a lot, she was about 6’0.

The one next to her was white mare. Her mane had light cerulean, light turquoise, very light cobalt blue, and pale heliotrope running across her head in lines. Which also flowed in the nonexistent wind. She wore medieval armor under clothing that had a picture of a sun on it. Her weapon was one I was all to familiar with. It had a long feather-shaped blade over a handle with several blue spheres encrusted within it and two feather-like ornaments near the base of the blade. The Winged Sword.

(Replace her sword with this)

Nobody said anything for a couple of minutes, we just stood there staring at each other. So I took the initiative.

“Hello there.”

“Die Demon!” The white one said. She had the same voice that answered earlier, must be Celestia.

Within the second I said that Celestia flew at me full speed, the winged sword aimed at my heart. Well at one of them anyway. Simon appeared to the front of me. His veins were bulging on the right side of his face. Suddenly Celestia lost speed, and started to fall to the ground.

Ah. Must be his Unholy eye.

Simon then ran up and kicked the sword out of her hand, knocking it to the other side of the room. The blue one started to fly at Simon but met the same fate as Celestia and fell down. Getting up Celestia went for the sword, while the blue one was attacking Simon.

“Got to get rid of that sword,” I muttered as time began to slow down when I took at step. Well this is strange. Walking up to Celestia she appears to be moving but very, very slowly. I’m moving so fast time is slowing down! Awesome!

In seconds I was standing above the sword. Time sped back up again and Celestia had a look of shock on her face. Picking up the sword my hand burst into purple flames. Ignoring the pain, I looked Celestia straight in the eyes.

“Greater Break Item.”

With that... The Winged Sword.. crumbled to dust.

In that moment Celestia lost the will to fight and fell down to her knees. Turning away from her I saw Simon... wait. This is how I died, thinking my opponent is down before they truly are. Looking back at Celestia I saw her back on her feet with a scowl in her face charging up a spell.

Extended my arm towards her I shot my darkness out. My darkness enveloped her horn and I pulled it back to me. Looking down in my hand was her horn. Ok she’s down for the count now. I mean she is on the ground crying her eyes out. Pretty sure that over with.

Luna, I heard her name because she introduced herself to Simon, let her guard down after she saw her sister for a few seconds. That was all Simon needed to end the fight. Kicking her in the side, cracking her armor, she flew straight into Celestia.

Simon appearing by my side had his eye focused on them. Both Luna and Celestia looked up at us in fear. I could have killed them but I think their related to Faust. Well I think—

“Whats that?” teleporting next to Luna I lifted her up by the neck so I could get a better view. Her skin was exposed from the kick Simon felt her. Armor cracked all along the left side of her body revealing something I was all to happy to see. On her left outer thigh there was a symbol of a serpent. I must’ve looked insane with the smile that was on my face. I might’ve resembled my older brother.

“Envy,“ having a hunch I looked over to Celestia and scanned her body on. Her dress was hiked up because of the way she was sitting, and guess what I found!

My smile only grew..

“Sloth!” she looked at me with fear evident on her face.

I threw Luna at her and cast Heal on them. Looking at their now confused faces I increased the magical pressure in the room.

“I am Zeldris, Lion Sin of Pride. I am here to do a favor for Faust, which is to collect the sins and stop the demons clan from taking over the world. You,” I pointed to Celestia “are the Sin of Sloth. And you,” pointing to Luna “are the Sin of envy.”

At this point they were both utterly confused, along with everyone else who were either still in the room or peering in from the throne room doors.

“Come at find me once you calm down. However if you have any intention to start another fight,” I then began to chuckle as I thought of the perfect line to say “I’m not gonna kill you. I’m just gonna hurt you really, really bad.” I said in a threatening manner.

Turning to Simon I nodded. He walked up and put a hand on my shoulder. I looked out the window and saw a town. Pass the town was the huge forest I woke up in. Perfect.

“You will know where to find me. Just try to not be as pathetic as you were today.” Out of the corner of my eye I saw that the unicorn guards where charging there magic. They never learn, I’ll just kill them next time I guess. “Greater teleportation.”

With that we where gone.

Author's Note

Sorry that it took awhile I’m dealing with some stuff irl. But besides that tell me if you enjoyed, give me some suggestions on what you would like to see, and tell me what I’m doing wrong! I’m also looking for a editor so yeah.

Listen to this song I’ve been listening to none stop!

Yeah I couldn’t think of a name for this chapter...

Just a little question to answer if you want to.
What sin are you? I’m Wrath

Chapter Six: Welcome to my Home!

“Who are you?” A man asked as he paced in front of me.

I look up at him then back to the ground. He apparently doesn’t like my response. Walking behind me he tightens the chains around my wrist. After that, he hits me in the head hard enough that I lost consciousness for a couple of seconds.

“Who. Are. You.” The man asked once more, with a more serious tone. He repositions himself back in front of me when he asked.

“Zak Law...” I answered under my breath never taking my eyes off of the ground. He grabbed my head and forced it up so we were making eye contact. He then kneed me in the stomach so hard I coughed up saliva. I fell to the ground clutching my stomach.

“Wrong answer, now I’m done playing nice with you. If you don’t respond the proper way you’ll be locked in here for two more weeks.” He said as he put his shoe on my head, digging his heel down. As he talked he grew a sadistic smile. “Now, who are you?”

Looking at him all I could see was a demon. I don’t wanna do this anymore... I just don’t want to be here...

“I’m the Judge.” I said while silently crying, head hanging low. He then began to laugh like the manic he is.

Going to get up he stopped laughing, which sent shivers down my spine. Looking up at him his eyes were cold and his expression was unreadable. “I never said you could leave.”

“But y-“ was all I could get out before he kicks me in the stomach. And kicks. And kicks. The kicking goes on for what seems hours. When he’s done he spits on me and walks out the door, followed by a clicking noise.

It was that moment that broke me...

Waking up in an unfamiliar place is unsettling. But waking up in an unfamiliar place and having a nightmare is really spooky. Looking around I calmed down as I remember the events from yesterday. Laying back down in Luna’s old bed I let out an exasperated sigh.

When I got out of bed I went to the throne room expecting to find Simon, which I did not. It’s still early so I can’t blame him. So instead I sat in the middle of the room and checked out what my new power could be.

Entering my mindscape I could see that there were now four bars of color. The one that I couldn’t make out before was perfectly visible. It was lime green and burned like a fire. The one below it was also burning like a fire but it was black, with silver streaks in it.

Something about this power is... ominous..

I don’t know what Gar’s older brother gave to me but I can work with it.

Exiting my mindscape Simon is still not in the throne room. Welp time to go wake him up. Getting up I go to the only other bed that is left in the castle.

Opening the door to Celestia’s old room I found Simon sleeping spread out all across it. Thinking of the perfect idea I make a finger gun and move in front of him. Poking him in the cheek gets no reaction.

“If you don’t wake up I’ll shoot!” I whisper yell at him.

No response.

“I mean it!”

He rolls over. I chuckled under my breath so as not to alarm him. I correct my aim. Casting Create Water at him a small magic circle takes place on my finger. Then water comes out spraying him more violently than I thought it would, whatever.

“What the.. AHHHHHH! IT'S COLD! STOPPPP!” He screamed at me as soon as the water sprayed him. I erupted into laughter and canceled the spell. Clutching my sides didn’t help with how hard I was laughing.

“Was that really necessary,” he says with a small frown. “You just ruined my bed, I really liked it.” His frowned deepened as he spoke.

Walking over I pat him on the back. “Oh quit your
moping,” I said with a genuine smile. “I’ll get you an even bigger and better bed! But before that, we need to train.” I said seriously. He looked down at the ground when I said that last part. “Don’t feel bad. He was stronger than you and had more experience. But when we’re done you should be able to beat him into the ground. Gate.”

In front of us, a blackish-purple portal opened up. Gesturing to it, Simon got up and walked towards it. “Let’s do this.” He said as he entered the gate.

Walking into the gate I was greeted with white. Just pure white. You see the gate had no destination. I read somewhere that when you go into a gate with no destination you’ll go to space where time doesn’t pass.

While Simon was looking around I dashed at him and kicked him in the back, sending him flying. “Now this won’t be easy. I will break you over and over again. I will teach you as best as I can while also training myself.” I said in a booming voice so he could hear me. “Now come at me!”

Simon crouched down and dashed at me. Extending my hand I went to grab his head, but he extended his wings and stopped himself before I could grab him. Twisting in the air he went to kick at my head. Bring my arm up I blocked and threw him away.

He closed his eyes and brought his hands up. Curious, I waited for him. After a couple of seconds, pitch-black lightning danced around his body. ”Black lightning!” he yelled. I waited for it to hit. Nothing came. He had a bewildered expression on his face. I went to speak but was interrupted when a black lighting bolt hit me from above.

He ran towards me after that and tried to punch me in the smokescreen. What he didn’t know was that he was punching the air. I dodged out of the way of the lightning bolt and walked behind Simon. As the smoke cleared he looked around until he saw me in his old spot.

Giving me a disapproving stare he spoke. “I thought you said no holding back? How come I’m not dead! Fight me for real.” He screamed at me.

Sighing I disappeared from his sight and punched him in the gut. Gaining him no time to recover I kicked him in the side and launched him away from me. Simon, looking around saw me before I disappeared again. I got behind him with a fist raised and unleashed my intent to kill him, just enough to spook him.

He turned around and went pale when he saw me.

Stopping my punch I pat him on the shoulder. “Well, that’s enough of that. Now work on your magic, and I’ll be around to help when you need it.” I said as I walked past him.

“Oh before that,” I said, turning around. “Search my mind! Choose a worthy weapon for the one I behold! Memory-make magic: Sacred Treasure!” Just like before with Gar, both me and Simon were enveloped in a bright light. When the light went down we were greeted by a sword.

It was an old sight, Durandal from highschool dxd. The Durandal is a uniquely-shaped broadsword with a blue blade and a golden edge. The sword has a semicircular guard on the left side of the handle that extends to the bottom just above the pommel, with a small extension on the right side of the handle.

“Ah yes, Holy Sword Durandal. I’m sure you’ll have fun taming her.” I don’t think Simon heard me. As soon as he saw the sword he was entranced by it. Welp we have some serious work to do!

Training was indeed most fruitful...

Well you’ll find out what I learned later. Back to it.

Exiting the gate we appeared back in the old castle and it was just like we left it. We trained for about a year and half, I’m pretty sure. Simon already knew the plan, so we flew out. Flying to the front of the castle I stood back and Simon stepped forward.

“Triple Maximize Magic: Black Lightning!” Simon yelled, unlike before the lighting strike was immediate. Incorporating Yggdrasil techniques also increased his strength. Instead of one bolt, three came down. And because he widened it, he completely obliterated the castle.

Hovering up to him, I put my hand on his shoulder. “I wonder how Gar would react to getting hit with that.” Simon laughed weakly before floating down to the ground to gather more magic.

Flying down to the spot where the castle was, I stood in the middle. “Well this is uneven, can’t have that.” I said as I looked around. I started to run around the place. I kept running and picking up speed. Before I knew it I created a huge tornado. Stopping, the ground was now fully even. With a proud smirk on my face I made my way back to Simon.

Picking up Simon I flew over the little ravine and put him down. Walking over to the old bridge I stomped and it fell into the ravine. Taking a couple of steps back I steadied my breathing. Sticking an arm out I spoke. ”Create Fortress!” A white magic circle grew on the ground until it became huge. A beam of light shot into the air making me look away. When the light show was over I was astonished.

In front of us was an outpost that you could walk into. It had two paths, one that went to the tower's doors. And the other that replaced the old bridge was a path around the tower. Water filled the ravine, that was now a river. While a little waterfall was coming off from the side of the tower.

The rest I can’t describe... (I’m bad at describing things if you haven’t noticed)

“It’s beautiful...”

“It truly is. I replied back to Simon as he stared in awe. Flying to the castle I opened the doors. I was greeted with the throne room. Walking towards the throne I noticed that the room was decorated with art and little statues. They also had a picture of me and Simon, weird.

“And now we wait.” I muttered to myself as I sat on the throne.

Author's Note

Ok new chapter! I really just wanted to get Zeldris a place to stay, and it was a good trading chapter. Tell me if you liked that fight scene! I was half asleep while making it.

Because I already asked you guys which base he should have here’s one more thing for you! Click me!

Please tell me if you spot any mistakes! Thank you. Pretty soon I will make a story for Zeldris’ brothers!

Chapter Seven: How very slothful of you..

Author's Note

Sorry if there are any big mistakes, I only went over it twice. Hopefully it’s still readable.

Chapter Seven: How very slothful of you..

As we wait for them to arrive, we have a look around.

The tower is made up of 3 floors. The first being having the throne room, a waiting room, a bathroom, and no way to get up beside a teleportation circle. However I have connected the ring of Yggdrasil to the tower, so I can now move freely within it. On the second floor, there is a bridge that connects to another section of the tower.

This was my bedroom, along with Simons next to it. It also had three other master bedrooms. Each equipped with their own private bathroom. It also had a lounge area. The little tower now dubbed ‘The Finger’ had a basement too. I plan on using it as a war room, and a serious talk room.

The second floor has a lot of bedrooms. I’m guessing for servants. There is a dining room. A third of the floor is for the baths. One side is for men the other for women. On the third floor, there were kitchens, buffet tables, and all kinds of food-related stuff. Half of the floor was storage though.

After the tour, I returned to the throne room, while Simon was in the kitchen making a meal.

“We have all those bedrooms, but no servants. Why don’t I make some?” I said to myself as I walked to my throne and sat down. Raising my hand I spoke, ”Summon 8th Tier Undead.” A dark red magic circle appeared in the middle of the throne room. Twelve mummies came out of it.

All of the mummy’s looked the same with piercing red eyes. They were standing with their arms by their side. The one in the back looked to be the leader as he was the only one with clothing. He had on a black fedora and a black trench coat. He was also kneeling.

“Kneel!” The one in the back yelled at the mummies. “I am truly sorry milord for their stupidity. I will train them to become the best butlers you have ever had.” He said in a smooth voice. Something you would not expect from a mummy.

“It is quite alright. I didn’t expect that I would summon mummies.” When I said that his body slumped. “It’s not a bad thing. This relationship will be one of respect. I will accommodate all of your needs, and give you more than you can imagine.” I got up and opened my arms wide. “All you need to do is pledge your life to me. Now, what are your names?” I said as I sat back down. I put one leg over the other and rested my head on my fist.

“We have no names. We would be honored if you would name us.” The head of the mummies spoke.

“You seem to be the best choice for head butler. From now on you’ll be known as James.” When I said that a maroon aura enveloped his body, before subsiding. Gazing over the rest of the mummy, another caught my attention. This one was glaring at James but in a competitive way. “And you, you will be known as Mubby. James’s assistant.” He started to glow in a dark pink aura before it subsided as it did with James.

“I thank you for the name ‘James’ I will forever be known by,” James said with glee. Mubby only nodded his head in appreciation.

I was about to continue but I got a pop-up. Yes, a pop up like you get in a video game.

Alert! Alert!

Seven creatures have just entered the outpost. Would you like to let them enter?

Y/N

After I read it, another pop up appeared next to it. This time it showed pictures of the six ponies from before and a human. Well he had pointy ears and a fang so a humanoid

“Yes.” I then turned my attention to my new servants. “Out. Expect for you, James.” They all dispersed. James came and stood by my side at the throne.

‘Simon’

‘Yes?’

‘Come at once.’

With that Simon appeared next to me using the ring. He had on a pink apron which he quickly took off and gave it to one of the mummy’s that were exiting the room. Once all of the mummies were gone the door opened by itself to reveal our guests.

“Welcome to my humble abode!” I welcomed them with open arms. I received a smile from whitey and the pink one. The purple one looked down along with the butter one. The humanoid, the farmer, and the rainbow one glared at me. “Come, come. We have much to discuss.” I got up and motioned them the common area. “Simon, go make us tea if they have any,” I whispered to him. That just left Me and James with the ponies.

We made it to the common area without so much as a word being said. Sitting down in a chair that viewed the whole room I waited for them to get comfortable. “So any questions? Two per person.” That made the purple one and the pink one perk up. “But before that what are your names? My name is Zeldris as you know.”

“My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie! But you can call me Pinkie Pie or Pinkie!” The pink one now known as pinkie Yelled at me.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle. I’m Princess Celestia's star pupil.” Twilight said thankfully at a normal volume.

“My name is Rarity, darling. Thank you for saving me from those wretched diamond dogs.” She said in a posh accent. So far she seems to be the only one who isn't completely terrified of me, besides Pinkie.

Gazing over I see the one that tried to attack me back in the cave. “My name is Rainbow Dash! Fastest flyer in Equestria!” She said as she flew up to the middle of the room. She then flew up to my face with a glare. “You better watch yourself! If I see you touch the Princess I’ll kick your flank!” She threatened to make an eye twitch. James wasn’t having any of it either and was about to step in.”

“Remove yourself from my presence,” I commanded her. She didn’t get the picture and continued to yell in my face. James' eyes started to shine even more. “At once,” I said this time with far more intent behind it. She seemed to freeze And weakly nodded her head. Then she vanished confusing all of us. That’s when I got a pop up that showed a picture of her outside of the tower's door.

“A’hm sorry about that. She can be a real handful, names Applejack.” She said as she tipped her hat towards me.

“I’m Spike the Dragon. Twilights number one assistant!” He said as he looked me up and down.

“Well, it’s so very nice to meet all of you,” I said as I get up and walk to the exit of the room. All of them seem confused as I stop in the doorway. “I’ll be right back. Me and Sloth need to have a little talk. Simon is bringing tea so make yourselves at home.” As I walk out the door I use gate and appear in the Canterlot throne room.

Sloth and envy were both presents. They immediately shot up and got into an offensive position. “Now, now. I’m not here for that. I need to have a talk with Sloth, envy you stay here.” I motioned my arm for sloth to lead the way. She brought us to a private room that had sound-canceling spells on it.

“Why have you brought me here demon?” Sloth questioned as she sat down on a couch across the room from me.

Glaring at her, “I do believe that I said you’ll know where to find me. Yet you did not come.” Saying that made her tense up. Sighing I continued. “Why did you send your student?”

“I saw no need to come to see you myself. And I couldn’t just cancel day court.” She lied. “Twilight is more than capable to handle you, demon.” A sweat drop rolled down the back of her neck as she could feel my gaze piercing through her.

“So you would send your star student to go see an unknown being that has more power than you AND your sister combined?” I got up and walked over to her. Grabbing her chin I make her look directly at me. “I think you were just to scared to face me yourself…” patting her on the check I made my way to the only window in the room and looked out of it.

“I’m not scared of you, demon!” She lied again. She summoned her sword and tried to stab me in the back. To no effect. Turning around I grab her wrist, squeezing it until she dropped her sword. “Stop, your hurting me,” she begged. She looked up with tears in her eyes. Throwing her on the ground I turned back to the window.

“You don’t admit to your mistakes. You didn’t want to deal with me so you sent your own student to. You get others to deal with your problems, while you are sitting around and do nothing.” As I spoke my tone got harsher. It was frustrating, she really is slothful. “When in my presence you will call me captain, tell your sister that as well.” I turned around to see her on the ground in fear. That’s when I heard it.

“LION SIN COME FORTH!”

A portal opened up right behind her. Looking down at her I could she wilted under my gaze. “How very.. slothful of you Celestia.” Stepping over her I entered the portal.

I need to blow off some steam. Welp whoever is on the other side is about to have a bad day. I thought as travel through the portal.

Chapter Eight: Crimson Lion vs Black Bull

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter Nine: Back to Business

Appearing back in the room that I left in, I noticed that I was alone. Looking out it was nighttime. I left at around midday, so I must have been gone for a few hours. Using Gate I made my way back to my tower, which I still needed to name. Simon immediately sensed my presence and was next to me in an instant with an annoyed look on his face.

“I know it is not my place to say this, but you cannot leave your guest waiting for 8 hours.” His expression then contorted into one of confusion, then shock and finally became one of anger. “Fath- FATHER WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! WHO DID THIS TO YOU?! I’LL KILL THEM!” he shouted as he pointed at the hole in my chest. After a minute of him shouting about the hole, I raised my hand. He instantly calmed down. I motioned for him to follow me as I walked to the common room. Surprisingly when we got there Pinkie, Spike, Twilight and Envy were all there.

Twilight and Envy had mountains of books surrounding them. Twilight seemed to be reading books on magic. Envy was reading books on the demon clan, interesting. I was bewildered, where did all of these books come from in the first place. Pinkie Pie was eating what I believe to be a type of cheesecake while watching One Piece with Spike on tv. Turning my attention to Simon I pulled him back out of the room. “Where did all of those books and tv come from?” I whisper yell at him.

“Well, the books come from an underground library that you never looked at. And the tv was always there.” He stated bluntly.

“Ok well, what are they still doing here? Also, why is Envy here?” I question as I peek back into the room.

“Spike was curious about what the tv was so I turned it on. I then went on Netflix and found something he would enjoy. Pinkie joined in and got food from the mummies.” Simon explained to me. “Me and Twilight went down to the library to read some books. We spent a lot of time down there and got to know each other, it was fun. In the end, I brought up a bunch of books so we could hang out with the others. Luna just showed up.” After explaining Simon walked back into the room.

Following him into the room nobody noticed me. I was about to announce myself, but Simon beat me to it.

“Twilight, my lord is here. Come and get him.” Twilight had a surprised look on her face as she looked at it. Simon offered a hand to her, which she took. I’m pretty sure I saw a blush on her face.

Of course I wasn’t the only one who saw that blush. I glanced over to Envy and she looked from them to me and winked. I kept up my vacant stare and shook my head. If looks could kill then Simon would have been dead from Spike glaring at him. Looking at everyone once more I noticed something peculiar.

Raising an eyebrow I spoke, “Strange. Where has Pinkie gone?” I scratched the back of my head only to feel something that shouldn’t be in my hair. Grabbing it I pulled it out and brought it to my face. Only to find pinkie with a huge smile on her face staring at me. “How did you do that?”

Pinkie opened her mouth only to be cut off by Twilight, “Don’t question it, that’s just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie.”

Putting her book down Twilight made her way over to me. She towered over me by five inches. “I don’t know where you went but you said you would answer our questions? So since the others aren’t here does that mean we can use their questions? Also, that magic I was reading about is completely different from anything I’ve ever seen; can you tell me about it? Those books talked about Yggdrasil, Fiore, Cross Reverie, Brain Burst, Elder Tale, Aincrad, and Infinity magic. Although now that I think about it Aincrad magic seems to be forced more on weapon techniques.”

That was a lot of new information to take in. I’ll need to read those books later on. “To answer your questions in order yes, no, I can tell you about some of it.” She let out a squee. I didn’t even know ponies could squee.

She was about to continue before a pink hand forcibly removed her from in front of me. A pink pony took her place and continued the questioning. “Hi I’m Pinkie Pie, but you already know that! What’s your favorite color? Do you like parties? Do you prefer cakes or cupcakes? What’s your favorite type of cake? How old are you? When’s your birthday?”

“Once again,” I sighed. “To answer your questions in order my favorite color is black, I enjoy parties, I like cake and cupcakes, I like all cake that has strawberries in it, I’m three thousand and twenty-five give or take, and I was born August sixteenth.” After talking I sat down in a chair that has a view of the whole room. “Welp I already answered both Twilights and your questions moving on.” Twilight's ears folded back.

“But-but I have more questions!!”

“No buts.”

“That’s not even fair! How can you-” Twilight couldn’t finish her sentence because I raised the spiritual pressure in the room just enough to knock the breath out of her.

“It is fair. I was even nice enough to answer an extra question for you.” Everyone in the room except Spike, Envy, and Simon was struggling to breathe. Simon walked up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

“I think that’s enough, don’t you?” He said with a hint of concern in his voice.

Returning the room back to normal I set my gaze on Spike. He took this as a sign to speak.

“Well let me just get this out of the way.” He said as he walked up to me. He was barely two feet away from me. He poked me in the chest. “I don’t like you. Simple as that.” He then walked back to where he was sitting. “Now as for my questions, what are you? And you said you were a friend but did you really mean it?”

“I’m a supreme being. My race is that of a Demon and Arrancar hybrid.” As I spoke I used Mana Essence on him. I was wide-eyed as I saw how much potential he had. “As for your other question, yes I am a friend to Equestria and Equis itself.” Shifting my gaze to Envy I nodded.

She took a sip of tea before speaking. “I’ll get straight to the point. What powers do you possess? Also, I’ve never heard of an Arrancar, what are they?

“I possess many types of magic, mainly Yggdrasil magic. I also possess water bending and Reiatsu. Reiatsu is spiritual pressure and water bending is self-explanatory.” As an example, I bended her tea out of the cup and made a few shapes before putting it back. “An Arrancar is a hollow that has removed its mask. That is all I will speak on the matter. Oh, and I also have a grimoire.” I took out my grimoire and showed it to them.

James walked in with more tea and snacks.

“What perfect timing! Here James, distribute this among the mummies as you see fit.” My grimoire shone in a golden aura and flew up next to my side. It flipped open and revealed a spell that I was hoping was there. “Gold magic: Create Bits!” Liquid gold flowed out of it and onto the floor surprising everyone present. After a bit, the gold solidified into a mountain of bits. “Enjoy your bits.”

“Thank you I’ll make sure everyone gets them. Mubby!” Mubby ran up from who knows where and started collecting the bits.

“Well, that is it for tonight. If you want to stay we have guest bedrooms.” Yawning I made my way over to The Finger.

(3rd POV)

Deep underground someplace In Equestria a being that has been asleep for ages awoke.

“That smell….” He rose for the first time in thousands of years. “That sweet, succulent smell…” He moaned out.

Rising to full height, the cave he was in shook violently until it caved in on him. Spreading his wings he got all the rubble of him. And looked out at the sky. “The sky, the baby blue sky! How long has it been since I flew in you.” Flapping his wings he launched into the air all the while searching for the direction the smell was coming from. After a minute of relishing in the smell, he found the source. “Ahhhh, I’m coming for you…” He took off in the direction of the smell.

(3rd POV)

Another being across the sea rose as she felt the magic of the other spike.

“That traitor is still alive!” She screamed and slammed her claw against the ground, causing it to freeze over. Looking over to a mountain she spoke. “I’ll bring you the traitor's head! Then you’ll wake up and tell me I did a good job, won’t you big brother.” The mountain twitched ever so slightly.

Author's Note

Here’s another chap! Sorry for it being so short, I just really wanted to get it out.

Also big thanks to Jason Monroe for editing the chapter!

I wonder what’s going to happen next chap? Here’s a new song to keep you entertained.

Chapter Ten: The Poison of Divinity

Jumping out of bed I felt a huge spike of magic coming from the south of me. “Well this is certainly interesting,” I said while walking over to the restroom. Opening the door I was greeted with a shower, toilet, and sink, nothing extravagant. Above the sink was a mirror that was encrusted in gold, which I was currently in front of.

This is the first time I’ve looked myself over without clothes on. My hollow hole is right below my neck, not in the middle of my chest like I thought. It’s a smallish hole. That’s when a thought hit me. Turning around to check my back I was greeted with a most beautiful sight. On my back was the Lion sin tattoo.

“Ahh, this is perfect. I always wanted a tattoo.” I comment as I begin preparing for a shower.

After getting situated I put my clothes back on and check up on the magic I felt earlier. It was approaching my location at a very fast pace. If I had to guess it’d be here in an hour at most.

The thing that was bugging me the most right now is that nobody was preparing for an attack. I could sense the mummies scurrying around, preparing for the day, but that was it.

Sighing, I spoke, “Let me see if this is a problem or not. Perfect Unknowable.” After I cast the spell I could feel that the being hesitated before it continued on its path towards us. Jumping out of the window I used Sonído to move from the treetops. I mean if I’m going to check out something, I can work on my control of reiatsu on the way.

As I was getting closer to the magic, I could see a figure off in the distance. Before long I saw the entire thing, no not thing, DRAGON. Something inside of me started bubbling. I could feel it, my darkness waiting to come out. But now isn’t the time, this can be a good learning experience for Simon and the other Sins. However, this dragon is massive. It’s a dark purple color, missing it’s right arm, and appears to be missing their left eye as well. Their whole body was also covered in scars.

(Just you know, with my description.)

Using Mana Essence I was surprised. Their mana was unlike any that I’ve seen before. It was a sickly purple that screamed that it would kill anything it touches. As I’m looking them over they turn their head in my direction.

At this point, I spread my wings and flew away because this is not my fight. I mean it is, but I want Simon and the Sins to go up against it.

Taking off in the direction of Canterlot I made it there in no time. Thanks to my being invisible, and untraceable I walked through the front doors of the castle. Arriving at the throne room, Sloth was talking to a pony. I guess I can wait for her to finish, she is a ruler after all.

“-ncess please, you don’t have to do this for me. All I wanted was a little rain for my farm.” The stallion said. He was a very skinny earth pony, who had an orange mane, big blue eyes, and white fur. He was dressed in a pair of brown overalls, that looked like they had seen better days.

Sloth chuckled slightly before responding, “Mr. Castellio are we not friends? This isn’t a royal duty of mine, I’m doing this as a favor to you for being there for me through the years.” Sloth said as she got up from her throne to hug Mr. Castellio before breaking it off. “Besides that old carrot farm is in need of some renovations.”

Saying this made the stallion shed a tear. Wiping it away he spoke, “Thank you Princess, no, I mean Celestia. I’ll see you later then, I don’t want to take up all of your time.” He walked past me on his way out. Leaving Sloth with a mellow expression on her face.

“Sloth, what do you think you're doing?” Saying this caused her to tense up and look around the room, to no avail. “ Cease your futile attempts of looking for me, for you shall not find me. I have erased my presence so the Dragon doesn’t figure out where I am.”

She raised an eyebrow. “Why are you hiding from a Dragon? I can feel the Draconic energy from here, I just assume that they are coming for a visit.” Looking out the window towards the magic she continued, “And from the amount of energy that I can feel there seems to be a lot coming.”

“You truly are slothful. That is only one dragon, and they seem to be coming for me.” I said much to her horror. “Also what do you mean Draconic energy? I only feel magic coming from that way.”

“Dragons don’t have magic. They have Draconic Energy.” She walked over to one of the guards present and whispered something in his ear. I saw his face fall before he bolted out the door as fast as he could. “Thank you for the warning, but you can handle this yourself you vile dem- Captain.”

I began to laugh. “I’m not going to do anything, as your captain I command that you figure this out on your own, along with Envy and Simon. Use your whole army for all I care.” Using my darkness I constructed a copy of myself and made it approach her. It grabbed her chin and looked her in the eyes. From its mouth I spoke, “I will only help if it seems like you will die.” With that, I walked out of the throne room and soon left the castle.

(3rd POV, The Finger)

As Simon was in the kitchen teaching some of the mummies how to cook, he felt it. Dropping everything that he was doing he rushed over to his father's room. He slammed the door open. “FATHER WE NEE-“ He stopped mid-sentence as he noticed that Zeldris was not in there. Now that he thinks about it he can’t even feel Zeldris’s magic. ‘Where could he be in such a dire time! That thing is almost here, I need to get the Sins and James!’ Taking flight he made it to where James was in under a minute. What he saw shocked him.

James didn’t look the same as he did before. Now he had his upper face visible, while the bottom half was still covered in bandages. Atop his head was a white fedora that was covering shoulder length deep crimson hair. His skin was revealed to be a pretty peach color, and his eyes were white. He now adorned a white tailcoat. All along his back, there was a black bubble design that trailed up from the left side of the tailcoat to the right shoulder, wrapping around his right arm. His hands were still covered by bandages, but his fingers were exposed. He had on white slacks and a pair of black leather dress shoes.

James also had a panicked look. “Simon, thank Zeldris you're here! You also feel that magic power coming towards us.” He questioned as he ran up to the fallen.

Nodding Simon and James ran to the tower's main entrance and ran out. Just a little ways over was a hillside that was connected to an open area. Taking flight Simon grabbed James and flew to it. When they landed they could hear what sounded like wings flapping. It got closer and closer. Louder and louder. Until finally they could see it. A dragon. He landed on the hill and looked down on the two with his eye.

“Where is the one that smells like Nidavellir.” The dragon questioned as he stared at the two.

“Nidavellir? Like the old Norse legends?” Simon mumbled, however, the dragon heard it. And it brought a mad smile to his face.

“So you also have heard the legends! The realm of the dwarves, home to unlimited riches!” Lowering his head to get a better look at Simon he chuckled which made the ground shake. “Ah, it has been a long time. I didn’t think that the legend of Nidavellir would still be around. Now back to my question.”

This time it was James who spoke up. “Why should we even talk to one such as you? You don’t even have the manners to introduce yourself.” Simon looked over at James for a second not wanting to take his eyes off of the dragon. During that second he gave James the ‘are you crazy’ look.

The dragon seemed taken aback. He cleared his throat and took on a more proper posture. “How very rude of me. I am Pharmakon the God of Poison. The youngest brother of Telkons, who is the third child of the All-Father. You can call me Kon. Now, what are your names?”

Simon and James were not expecting him to say he was the ‘God of Poison’. Simon recollected himself faster than the mummy and spoke for him. “My friend to the right of me is James, the head butler of The Finger. And I am Simon Cain Morningstar. The creation of the Supreme Being, Zeldris. However, you can call me Cain.”

Kon seemed to be lost in thought before the feature of his face shifted downward into a scowl. “Supreme Being? You speak of Blasphemy, for the All-Father rules over all of existence. For that, you shall die…” The dragon took in a deep breath and started to build up Energy in the back of his throat. Simon flew upwards, while James leaped backward. Kon stopped gathering energy and looked out in the distance. “Thank you for having a conversation with me. It was fun Cain, James. But no one can escape my poison.”

Just as he was about to release his breath Simon acted. “Judgment of the Fallen, Holy Thunder!” The sky darkened and clouds formed a circle around the sun, which was shining brightly. Kon looked up, surprised by what was going on. For he had never seen magic such as this. Only for a moment, he saw a shimmer in the sky. The sun seemed to grow brighter and brighter until it was on him. Pure white thunder rained down from above him. Crying out in pain he released his breath.

James was in shock. He knew that Simon was powerful but, he didn’t know he was this strong. Taking the opportunity presented to him the mummy ran up and with his monstrous strength jumped above the poison cloud that was blocking his path. He reeled back his fist and hit the God of Poison in his eye, blinding him momentarily. Landing on the Dragon's snout he propelled himself away from the fight.

While James was doing all that Simon was trying to contain the poison. Just as Kon said it killed everything it touched, so the grass on the ground and everything on it died. The vegetation withered away leaving the ground bare. The ground was dried up, devoid of life.

Simon seeing that James blinded the god, took the chance to build up some magic. Unfortunately, Kon sensed it and swiped at Simon, barely missing. “I can feel your magic, Cain.” Kon continued to swipe at the fallen. “You can’t dodge forever!” Right after saying that Kon scratched Simon across his chest leaving three big claw marks. Regaining sight in his eye he saw Simon on the ground bleeding heavily. He sighed before speaking. “That was kinda boring. The mummy ran away. Those ponies are going to be fun to kill though.” Fixing his sight to the sky he saw a large battalion of Pegasi. Below them were Earth ponies and Unicorns armed for combat.

Once the ground troops came face to face with the dragon they could barely meet his eyes. “B-by order of the Prin-prin-princess you are to stand down!” The Earth pony's shaking knees looked like they were about to shake off of his body. Kon started to laugh loudly, shaking the ground in the process.

“Tell your princess I refuse…. Oh, wait! You won’t be alive, I’ll tell them myself.” He raised his tail and coated it in poison. Kicking Simon out of the way he charged at the ponies, squashing some in the process and began to spin madly. His poison killed all of them instantly. The Pegasi stood no chance either because he was so big he hit them with his wings tearing them apart. And the ones who didn’t get hit died from the poison.

After a couple of minutes, he stopped and marveled at his work. All that was left of the ponies were their skeletons. “Well, that was fun. I still need to find the one who smells of Nidavellir.” He started to flap his wings until he felt a sense of dread washed over him. He fell back to the ground with a thud and looked around. He could feel it, whoever they were wanted his death, no, his destruction.

Out the corner of his eye, he saw him. He was holding a sword that sent shivers down the almighty god's spine. Standing there with a weird looking sword with a blue blade with a golden edge was, Simon. Or as Kon said,

“Cain…”

Chapter Eleven: End of a Battle

(3rd POV)

Simon was standing there dry blood all over his chest and pants. Across his chest laid the scar that had begun to heal while he was down. His eye was activated and locked on Kon, who was standing there in shock.

Kon looked down on Simon's form and began to let about a low chuckle. “I see you have gotten serious.” The dragon said. He crouched down before speaking again. “It appears I will have to take this somewhat seriously.” Steam started to rise from his scales. His form started to shrink down and the whole area became covered in a cloud of steam, which was hot to the touch.

After the steam dived down it revealed a humanoid figure standing where Kon was completely naked. He had bright orange spiky hair, tan skin, pointy ears, and one pale yellow eye. He had a deep claw mark across his left eye that looked like it wasn’t fully healed.. Kon opened it when he saw Simon looking, and all that was there was an empty eye socket. “How do you like this, Cain? Does my new form frighten you?” He stopped to look himself over. “I better give myself some clothes.” The same poisonous fog from before flowed from his hands and made its way all over his body, enveloping him. The cloud subsided and the god of poison was fully clothed. The poison solidified on him to make a dark purple skin tight long sleeve shirt that resembled spandex. He had a black fingerless glove on his hand. He also had on black military pants with a white belt and no shoes.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been in this form. Now shall we be-” Kon narrowly dodged a slash from Simon. Not letting The dragon get time to recover Simon started to slash rapidly at him. After about a minute Simon slowed down his pace giving Kon an opening to punch him in the face with his scaled hand. “How do you like that!” The god boasted only to get hit by the blunt side of Durandal. He went flying into the forest tearing down the trees as he went through, until hitting a boulder that was randomly there.

Simon slowly walked over to where his enemy was. His mind was cloudy, he couldn’t tell what was going on. His mind was so far gone he only snapped back to reality when Kon grabbed his head and slammed it into the earth. Kon raised Simon to eye level and began kicking him in the stomach. The whole time this was going on Simon was glaring at him. The fallen raised his hand which was soon covered in a magic circle. “Maximize magic: Dragon lightning” Kon immediately sensed that something was wrong and had his wings sprout out of his back. He took off into the air all the while Being chased by a huge dragon made out of lightning. Simon laughed softly, “I never thought this spell would be useful but hey, this is the perfect opportunity to use it.” Simon slowed his breathing and pointed his sword at Kon who was zig-zagging around the sky trying to avoid the previous attack. A silver magic circle appeared at the point of his sword. “Slow!”

Kon felt himself slow down considerably, and tried to block the incoming attack, but he was too late. The dragon was soon enveloped by the lightning attack and let out a howl of pain. He hurdles to the ground, creating a crater on impact.

Jumping out of the crater Kon had cuts and burns all along his body. He used his poison to make the shape of a spear which it solidified into. He thrusted at Simon with all his might. Simon raised his blade and deflected the blow away from him then kicked Kon in the stomach making distance between them.

As Kon got up and threw his spear at him, Simon grabbed the spear mid air and threw it right back. This didn’t work like he thought it would as Kon grabbed the spear which had both he and Simons force behind it and returned it to the fallen. The spear punctured Simon's side leaving a hole in it.

Kon started to laugh but was cut off as Simon spoke. “You know, as a fallen I have an affinity for three different types of magic. Holy/Light and Lightning are the ones you have already seen.” Simon stuck his hand towards the sky sending shivers down Kons spine. “The other one you haven’t seen is Darkness. Black Lightning!” The spell came down fast and hit Kon dead on kicking up a dust cloud.

The dust settled but Kon was nowhere to be found.

The dragon god was hovering in the air above Simon holding two purple orbs. He was shirtless, showing all of the scars he had painted on his body. Burn marks adorned his skin after that attack as well. He held his hand above his head causing the two orbs to start spinning. With a yell he threw down the orbs, which seemed to bend the air, at Simon. They combined in the air as they were making their descent and grew bigger than Simon himself.

Seeing there was no way to dodge the attack, Simon gathered the rest of his magic in Durandal and unleashed a slash the size of Kons attack at him. The two attacks clashed in the air one side of purple, the other of a brilliant white. Upon impact, the two both exploded.

Kon and Simon both knew that they were in the range of the explosion with no way out. Simon dropped his sword to the ground, while Kon let himself free fall towards the ground accepting their fate. That is until they heard someone speak.

“Perfect Cube.”

The explosion from the spells was sealed off in a light purple cube. The surrounding shook as the spells hit the walls of the cube. The explosion soon subsided to the relief of Simon and Kon. However, once the cube was dispelled Zeldris landed between the two on the ground.

(Zeldris POV)

As I landed I looked over the damage that these two shirtless buffoons caused. The dragon however seemed to sense my power and wilted under my gaze. Turning to Simon he smiled and fell to the ground unconscious. Taking my grimoire out immediately caused the dragon to pounce on me.

“A greedy one aren't you,” I said in a low tone as he was on his knees begging for the book. Looking over him I noticed how weird his hair is, it’s bright orange. Strange. What can you expect from this colorful world? Another key detail that I saw through the burn marks covering his torso was what looks like a red fox tattoo on the left side of his waist. “Oh, Faust must favor me for she brought you to me, Greed.” The dragon, I overheard his name was Kon, had a shocked expression on his face.

“Umm, what are you talking about? Well, I don’t really care; can I have that book?” He said as he rose to full height annoying me in the process since he’s so tall.

“No, you may not have this book. Howe-”

“PLEASE! Just give me the book, it smells so good! I don’t know what it is about it, but I need to have it.” Kon fell to the ground and crossed his legs while sitting. “If I can’t have the book then I’m either going to die trying to take it from you, or I’m leaving.” He pouted like a child.

My eyebrow started to twitch. “Listen, how about this, I’ll pay you in gold if you come to work for me. How does that sound.”

Kon shot up, and lifted me off the ground in a hug.. It was not fun. At my glare he put me back down. “Deal! Now tell me about this job.”

As we spoke I picked up Simon and we both flew to the tower together. James was there waiting for us. As we entered I had James take Kon and show him around The Finger, while I healed Simon and brought him to his room. I jumped out of the window and decided to fly around the Everfree to get some fresh air after what just happened.

“What is this?” As I was flying I saw a thick mist/fog surrounding a large portion of the forest. In the middle of it seemed to be a Massive tree. Flying to get a closer look I entered the mist but it shot me back out. “What in the hell?” Trying again got me nowhere. However, I kept trying and trying, until I had enough. “You son of a bitch let me IN!” At this point, I was just mad and started to shoot at the mist with magic and reiatsu.

As I was in the middle of showing the mist who was boss I heard something rip. Checking myself over I noticed that nothing on me had ripped. Looking around in confusion I heard it again. I could tell that it was close to me as I felt a peculiar magic in the air. It felt like it was some kind of light or harmony magic. Going to the source I found what appears to be tears in reality. Another tear happened in front of me causing a portal to open up. When it did, a couple of seconds went by until it spat out a being. After it did that the portal closed in on itself.

“I’ve seen you before, but where?” I said to myself as I looked over the form of the unconscious being. Then it clicked. “Oh, I never expected to see you here…”

Author's Note

So this came out shorter than I would have liked but it’s ok. School really doesn’t want me to have free time with all these assignments they’re posting.

Once again a huge thank you to Jason Monroe for once again editing this mess I call a chapter!

I wonder if anyone can guess who the mysterious being is? I left a clue for you so good luck!

Chapter Twelve: A Divine Intervention, Mystery of the fog revealed!

(Zeldris Pov)

Examining over my newly arrived guest he looks exactly like he did in the anime. However, he was also injured.

His black and dark gray gi were in tatters. He had cuts and bruises along his body. He was wearing a porta earring on his left ear, his tail is wrapped around him. He is slimmer than I would have expected. The one before me was none other than Goku Black.

“Hmmm, I hope he’s not the actual Black. That could be bad.” I say to myself as I circle around him. “Nah, I could take him. I think I’m stronger than him, maybe.” As I was thinking aloud Black suddenly shot up.

(3rd POV)

“Son of a bitch!” Black had shouted, he immediately started to groan from his injuries. He held onto his left shoulder and put a hand to the side of his head. “I don’t remember the Elements of Harmony giving anyone pain.”

“So you were hit by the Elements, that explains it.” Zeldris said, startling the Saiyan.

Black in an instant, got to his feet and put on a fighting stance, similar to Goku’s. “Who the bloody hell are you?” Black said, preparing for a fight. His entire body was shaking from being injured from whatever battle he was in.

Zeldris raising his hands in an attempt to calm Black spoke. “I wouldn’t be so quick to fight in your state. Why don’t you settle down before you start a fight you can’t win.” Zeldris said as he released some bloodlust at Black.

Black felt some of the power radiated from Zeldris, begrudgingly, he loosened his stance and stood normally. “Sorry for being so hostile, just came out of a fight and a mental struggle.” Black had explained, confusing Zeldris a little.

“Mental struggle?” Zeldris questioned with a brow raised. “No matter, I have a question. Are you the real Goku Black?” While saying this Zeldris pulled out some strawberries from his inventory and threw them to Black.

Black with his quick reflexes, he caught the strawberries and looked at them curiously. Shrugging, he popped one of the fruits into his mouth and ate it. “I can assure you, I’m not the real Goku Black, but he is here,” Black said as he popped a few more strawberries into his mouth. Within a few seconds, all the strawberries were all gone.

“I see, so you're a displaced then. I’m just meeting you guys every other day now.” Zeldris said to the confusion of Black.

“Displaced, what do you mean by that?” Black said as he slowly sat on the floor to conserve some energy.

“Well you see,” Zeldris began only to stop and fly up to look at the mist. Black watched curiously as a humanoid being flew out of the fog. He had long insect-like wings, along with long pink hair, and a face that resembled a female child. Floating alongside him was a sword. “What are you doing here Gloxinia?” Zeldris questioned fiercely.

"Who are you?” Gloxinia growled as he reached for his sword and pointed it at Zeldris. “And what are you doing in King Gar’s Forrest?”

At that Zeldris became ever more confused. “King Gar? Are you referring to that big smiling monster?” Zeldris relaxed after Gloxinia nodded.

“Some of those damn ponies refer to him as such,” He said through gritted teeth. “Why he refers to himself in such a manner I know not. He is the Fairy King and as such should be treated with the utmost respect, especially for what he’s done for that city of worthless snobs on the mountain!”

Zeldris looked down to where Black was and saw him observing the whole interaction curiously. “Hey Goku Black, can you fly with those injuries or do I need to carry you?” The demon questioned.

Black nodded, “I think I can manage for a while, so in other words, Yes.” Black said. Slowly floating into the air, arriving next to Zeldris.

Turning to Gloxinia, Zeldris noticed that he seemed to be rather annoyed that he ignored him. “Hey you, take us to Gar. Now.”

“Why should I listen to a pony?” Gloxinia snarled. “Your kind are nothing but greed with holes in your hearts that you think you must fill, I see yours has worn straight through to your skin.”

Out of the hole in his chest, Zeldris pulled out his Zanpakuto and pointed it at Gloxinia. “I will not repeat myself, insect. That was a direct order from the one who made your king a King.” While he was talking, Zeldris used despair aura to make himself even more threatening.

“Brother enough!” Gerheade flew down next to her brother. “I apologize for my brother’s rudeness but he is just doing his job as the captain of the guard for the most part,” She gave a sincere bow. “It is King Gar’s policy to welcome those who come to see him when he’s in but he’s resting at the moment. If you want though, I can lead you to the throne clearing. Perhaps he’ll wake if someone who isn’t fairy is in his presence. Would this be acceptable?”

Lowering his sword, Zeldris gave a simple nod to her offer. “Come now Black, let’s go see my friend.”

They all flew into the mist and was greeted with a beautiful sight. A huge cherry tree stood in the middle of a lush green forest. Fairies much like the ones Gloxinia and Gerheade were flying around along with what appeared to be pony fairies.

“Wow.” Both Black and Zeldris said at the same time upon taking in the sight of the Fairy King's Forest.

Gerheade chuckled at their reactions. “This way please.”

They all flew to the top of the tree where they found Gar in his tire from sleeping on his throne.

“Are you bigger now than the last time I saw you?” Zeldris mumbled to himself. He faced his hand towards Gar’s sleeping form and a yellow magic circle appeared. “Triple Maximize Magic: Magic Arrow.” Two more magic circles appeared next to the first one and all three mana arrows fired at Gar.

The thorn necklace around Gar’s necklace quickly activates and transforms into the Emerald Octo to cover its mater in a shield of vines from the arrows.

“Bastard!” Gloxinia yelled as he drew his sword again.

“QUIET!” Gar roared silencing his captain. The Baquias returned to its necklace form. “Who shoots mana arrows at a being while they sleep,” Gar remarked as his gaze met with Zeldris. “And how did you get to my world old friend?”

“I was walking through the Everfree and before I knew it the mist had surrounded me. Then this guy comes out of nowhere,” Zeldris uses his thumb to point ot Black. “He’s pretty beat up and I met with dipshit over there.”

“You-” Gloxinia glared.

“Brother,” Gerheade held on to his arm. “You are no match for a high-level demon like him anyways. He’s the King’s friend so let him be.”

“Your devotion and eagerness are both admirable and foolish,” Zeldris looked over. “Know your place, worm!” Zeldris activated his Spiritual pressure case Gloxinia to kneel.

“You have gotten stronger old friend,” Gar got to his feet. “I see you are now an Arrancar. How did this come to be? And how are you here in my world Black?” his gaze narrowed on the Saiyan.

“Uh… to be honest with you, I’m not completely sure. The last thing I know is getting hit by the Elements of Harmony in order to stop Nightmare Moon.” Black had explained.

“You were probably forced out of your world by magic overload most likely,” Gar scratched the side of his face. “Now to you Zeldris. How did you become a hollow?”

“I may or may not have had an encounter with your other brother, the Asta displaced.” Zeldris then pointed at the broken hollow mask around his neck. “His Sacred Treasure was the Combat Pass and he let me use it. And that’s how I became part Arrancar.” Zeldris brought out his Zanpakuto and threw it to Gar, who immediately began to study it.

Gar was about to speak but Black cut him off. “Back to my question. What’s a displaced?” Black had a look of impatience across his face as he crossed his arms, slowly tapping his foot against the floor.

Zeldris looked over to Gar, “You tell him.”

“Displace is short for Dimensionally Misplaced,” Gar began. “In short we are what we are. We are humans that are sent across the multiverse to other worlds usually in new form with new powers by some means or another. Usually, it involves buying something from what’s called a merchant though there are alternatives like Zeldris and my middle brother. We send out items called tokens with a phrase attached to them that allow us to be summoned to other worlds or to summon others to our world,” Gar held up his hand to reveal an old telescope. “By doing this we meet others and sometimes gain powers that we never had before. So of us even reach near goddam, these are Displaced that have left their worlds for some reason or another to roam the Void. They are called Void Dwellers. Not all of them leave their worlds but still have the power to do so. My oldest brother is one such case. Shall I heal your wounds?”

Black was really confused by the explanation, “I’d like that.” Black said, but then started to reminisce on what Gar had explained to him. ‘Huh, who’d know. A whole 1015 years and I’ve never known I was a displaced, this will be something interesting to tell Celestia and Lulu once I find a way back home.’ Black had thought.

As Gar was about to transform Basquias into its Moon rose form Zeldris stepped in between them. “Hang on, I just thought of an idea.” He said as he used his magic to create a cup. “Black why don’t you give us some of your blood?” He said with a sinister smile on his face.

The Saiyan recoiled a bit and got into a defensive stance, “Alright, first of all, Eww. Two, The fuck, and three, WHY?!” Black had shouted, furrowing his eyes and scowled at Zeldris.

“Aww come on, it’s not that big of a deal,” Zeldris said as he took a step towards Black, making the Saiyan step back. “It’s for the benefit of my friend Gar. He has an ability called Transpork, I know the name is ridiculous, that lets him take on the abilities of whatever he eats. So it just makes sense for him to get some of that Saiyan blood.” Black still looked like he was on the defensive side. “How about we make a deal?”

Black still wasn't comfortable but had loosened his stance. “Are you sure about this, if I gave you a cup of my blood? He will have the unrivaled power of a Saiyan, and we both know Saiyan’s have no limits, that will make him unstoppable.” Black had explained, a drop of sweat rolled off his cheek. Black was nervous about this.

“Oh that won’t matter, I am infinitely stronger than Gar in every way possible.” Zeldris’ freehand became enveloped in a green fire as he reached for Black. “In exchange for the blood, I’ll grant you power. How does that sound.” He asked as he inched his hand closer.

Black, looking nervously at Zeldris’s flaming hand. Gulping, he stood freely and rolled up a sleeve and held out his arm. “Just make it quick, I fucking hate needles as of already,” Black said with a surprising look on his face. ‘Man, me and Goku have a few things in common.’ Black thought.

Zeldris grabbed Black’s hand. “The deal is set.” The fire traveled up Black’s arm startling him. “Oh and needles, we don’t do that here.” Zeldris grabbed his sword and cut Black’s arm off by mistake. He dropped the cup on the ground and caught the arm. The fire extinguished and the demon looked back to Gar. “Heal him up. I don’t want blood sullying your floors.”

Black was cursing so much, Ryan Reynolds would be proud. “FUCKING POPO! A SWORD, AND CUTTING OFF AN ARM WAS EVEN WORSE YOU SACK OF SHIT!” Black shouted at Zeldris, veins threatening to pop out of his head.

“What can I say, I slipped.” Zeldris shrugged.

“Oh, hush,” Gar slightly shook his as a vine grows from his necklace into the Moon Rose. “Droplet of Life,” A droplet of high condense magic fill from the plant onto Black stump immediately revitalizing him and growing a new arm. “There, you are. Perhaps your Zenkai kicked in too.”

Gar was correct. Black had looked at his regrown hand, opening and closing it a few times. With a smirk, he popped his neck a few times and got into a stance, and let out a mighty yell. His hair flew into the air and turned into pink, with his eyebrows doing the same, except for his eyes which had gone grey. A dark red and purple aura surrounded him with sparks of lightning surrounding him. The power was enough to shake the tree and the pressure was immense. “Yup.” Black put a hand loosely in front of his face and grinned. “I believed the zenkai had definitely kicked in,” Black said as he just went Super Saiyan Rose, he then proceeded to go back to his base form.

“I guess it’s my turn then,” Gar remarked as a tendril grabbed onto Black’s discarded arm and the cup of blood from Zeldris. “Black, you may want to look away,” Gar advised.

Raising an eyebrow, “Uh, why would I want to look away?” Zeldris snickered. “The hell you laughing for, I still haven’t forgotten you, have I.” Black frowned.

“I gave a fair warning, did I not Zeldris?” Gar looked at his friend.

“You sure did.” Zeldris waved dismissively.

“What the fuck are you two talking about?!” Black said, annoyed that no one is answering his question.

“This will be most tasty,” Gar commented as he opened his maw and started to ravenously devour the arm. With a sickening crack and a squelching he thoroughly enjoyed his snack before he downed the cup of blood. “Most satisfying!” he licked his teeth and his body started to glow. “POWER!” He roared as a yellow aura surrounded the giant and he sprouted a tail similar to Black’s. “This will take some getting used to”

“That is always so fun to watch!” Zeldris exclaimed as and began to laugh.

Black’s eyes widened when gar had consumed his arm. But kept his cool. “You know what, that’s not even the worst thing I’ve seen so far. I’d give that a 7/10…” Black said plainly. Zeldris looked at him a little surprised and quirked an eye, Black seeing this explained. “What, you think that’s worse. After around a thousand years, plus with the memories of Goku Black killing every child in the universe slowly with a laugh. Or how about having two mind fucking parasites in said mind.”

Zeldris hummed in thought. “Why yes, that does sound quite horrid. Having two mind parasites doesn’t sound like fun. He said to Black’s horror. “And who hasn’t killed a child before? This world is survival of the fittest.”

“This is true,” Gar agreed.

“But the thing is, I see it every night when I sleep. And it isn't the same dream either…” Black said quietly looking down. “He usually does it slowly by first killing the child's parents, then proceeding to slowly cut off every child’s limb off slowly before slicing the head off with his ki blade. The worst of it is that I see it from his perspective, and I'm the one laughing.” Black growled as he started to shake with anger. Bits of ki started to flow off of him slowly.

“Yes, I understand what you're saying now. A tragedy that you had to endure that.” Zeldris then smiled. “Here’s a fun little story. When I was five years old I was living in the alleyways with my little brother who was only two. One day I got lucky and managed to steal some bread from a bakery, but when another kid found out he came over and tried to take it for himself. I killed him for the sake of my little brother, so that he may eat and not starve. And that’s when I found out what the cruel reality of life is, adapting. You have to adjust to it in the best way possible. You can’t possibly take responsibility for everything that you’ve done if it was in order to survive. Take that to heart, even if those weren’t the worlds you were looking for.” Looking around he saw Gar looking at him in what he believed to be a pity. It disgusted Zeldris. “Moving on, Black are you ready to get your new power?”

“For parazytes, only think of how we can survive and how to best achieve that,” Gar added. “The emotions do play a small part in it for me, like when I Lose control from seeing certain things.”

“Yeah, let’s just get it over with,” Black said with a hint of venom. ‘How about you try and live in a world without a family, jackass.’ Black thought.

Zeldris could feel the hostility radiating off Black. “Even after I went out of my way to try to make you feel better, you still have that venom in your tone.” Zeldris then slightly raised his head and began to look down on Black. “You disappoint me. If not for the deal, I don’t think I would have given you any power, for you are too blinded by something you didn’t do. Get over it.”

“Only if you knew what hell I had to endure before becoming one of these ‘Displaced’.” Black said, furrowing his eyes.

“Only if you realized what I had to endure before becoming Displaced.” Zeldris then walked up to Black and poked him in the chest. “Tell me, how many people were you forced to kill? How many have you sentenced to death?”

“It is this way with many of our kind Black,” Gar stated. “We are Displaced for a second chance. I was nothing but a husk of a man simply living my life from day to day never a true want in my heart. I was sent here and had my emotions dulled to the point of near none existence. I met Zecora and she opened her home to me, then Twilight and her friends. I felt compelled to save them for Zecora’s sake but soon came to realize it was what I wanted to do. This forest is my home my domain, the fairies here,” Gar motioned to the siblings. “I protect them. Do not waste time living a life that is no longer yours and don’t hold the deeds of the one you are Displaced as your own and most of all, don’t acknowledge him as you.”

Black had listened and calmed down a little, but still felt a bubble of hate. Black then set up a telepathic connection to Zeldris and whispered. ‘At Least you had a brother, some part of a family.’ Black turned his back to the demon and crossed his arms, ‘I didn’t, nobody loved me.’

Zeldris then looked over to Gar, who heard the small conversation, the fairy king merely shook his head. Zeldris looked down, thinking of what to say but couldn’t find the words. Sighing, he spoke, “What do you want first, magic or a Sacred treasure.”

Black slowly looked over his shoulder, glaring at Zeldris. But then it softened and he sighed. “Sacred Treasure, then magic. After that, I need to blow off some steam…”

Before giving Black his powers Zeldris used ‘Message’ ‘You can count yourself lucky, for I consider you tolerable.’ Before Black could respond he ended the message and looked to Gar. His theory was correct, Gar cannot hear a message between two people so he was saved from that little embarrassment.

“I will offer you one more piece of advice Black,” Gar looked the Saiyan straight in the eyes. “Instead of focusing on what you didn’t have then, you should focus on what you do have now, and what you have just gotten back.” He poked Black in the chest. “As long as you keep the one sliver of hatred in your heart, he will always have a way out.”

Black knew what Gar was talking about and scowled. “I know, can’t let the fucking genocidal maniac out of his prison along with his new roommate,” Black said sarcastically with a smirk a little and turned back to Zeldris. “Also, sorry about that, kinda had that held up for a while.”

“You're pathetic.” Black was taken aback by the comment as he had just apologized to Zeldris. “After I complete my end of the deal I have a present for you, so you stop being so pathetic. “Search my mind! Choose a worthy weapon for the one I behold! Memory-make magic: Sacred Treasure!”

Gar closed his eyes as a bright light enveloped both Zeldris and Black, as the light died down all three were surprised by what they saw. A pillar of black iron twenty feet in height and the width of a barrel was standing in between the demon and the Saiyan. Zeldris went to grab it but couldn’t really get a good grip on it. When Black went to grab it, it shrunk in his hand until it was only a little taller than him and as thick as a bowl of rice.

“This Black is Ruyi Jingu Bang, the staff of the Monkey King.” Before black could say anything more information came to Zeldris. “Quickly, let’s go outside while the Sun is out!” He rushed them out of the tree, in vain as the moon was in the sky.

“Thank fucking god it isn’t a full moon, that would be catastrophic,” Black said aloud. Looking at the moon did soothe his mind, making him smile at the lunar object.

“You're lucky I convinced Luna to implement lunar cycles,” Gar commented.

“Well whatever.” Zeldris kicked at the ground. “When the Sun is out the staff will be banded with two golden rings on each side along with the inscription 如意金箍棒重一萬三千五百斤 which means ‘The Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod. Weight: thirteen thousand five hundred catties’.”

Black looked blankly at Zeldris with confusion, “And what do these golden bands do to the staff?” Black asked.

Zeldris shrugged. “I don’t know, it just looks cool. And just think about it, it's gold and black. It matches your color scheme.” Black was about to speak again but was cut off. “It’s basically the power pole from Dragon Ball, but it also has the ability to copy itself. A little trick instead of carrying it around on your back is to shrink it to the size of a needle and stick it behind your ear.”

“I already knew what the pole was when it shrunk down. Plus, I’d rather have it on my back than the size of a needle, could lose it easily in that size.” Black said.

“It’s literally over a thousand pounds, if you drop it you’ll know by the crater it makes,” Zeldris said as he rolled his eyes.

“Which is why I’ll always have it on me, where no one can accidentally take it..” Black said as he put his hands behind his head.

“I have a thought,” Gar looked at Zeldris. “You can manipulate memories correct?” he waved a hand in the air.

“That was the present which was supposed to be a surprise,” Zeldris said as he crossed his arms.

Goku Black looked at the both of them confused. “I thought this power pole was my present?” Black said while scratching his head.

“You are as stupid as Goku. I said you will get a Sacred treasure, the staff. I’ll give you access to magic. Then I said I will give you a present out of goodwill.” The demon said as he took out his staff from his inventory. The magical pressure in the area increased significantly.

“How may I help?” Gar came over.

“Who said I need your help.” Zeldris said in defiance. “However if you wanted to contribute for some reason, pour some of your magic into my staff.” Gar walked forward and placed a hand on The Staff of Yggdrasil and began to feed it magic. After a minute of constant magic flow, Zeldris spoke up, “That is enough, I don’t want you to wear yourself out.” Zeldris grabbed onto the staff and began to absorb the magic. “I’ve been waiting to do this for a while now. This feels like the right moment.” Darkness began to seep from all over Zeldris until it enveloped his whole body, soon it all began to flow into one point. Zeldris’ demon mark had expanded to the middle of his forehead, and down his left eye. He just transformed into his second form. The second demon mark, allowing access to more of his power.

“Are you ready?” Zeldris asked Black.

“Nope, but fuck it.” Black said with a smirk.

“Good answer,” Gar commented.

Before Black even knew what happened Zeldris grabbed onto his forehead. “I’ve never had to use this spell. Hopefully, it doesn’t hurt. Control Amnesia!” Zeldris went into the Saiyan’s mind and found the memories of three separate beings within Black’s mind. Peering into one he saw what looked to be a nightmare moon, not his target. The only other two orbs were Black and Silver. Taking a guess he peered into the Black one and guessed correctly. He watched scenes of a man who looked like Black murdering millions. Zeldris placed his hand on the orb of memories and began to channel magic in it. “Magic Destruction!” The orb turned to dust, leaving only two left in his mind. Exiting Black’s mind he sighed, “Damn that was a lot of death.”

Black fell onto his back and began to gasp for air, “Y-you don’t… know the h-half of it.” Black chuckled a little.

“Stop whining and get up.” Zeldris said as he opened and closed his hand a few times.

“Says you, how about you have an entire existing mind eviscerated from the said mind, hurts like hell,” Black said as he hopped back onto his feet. “All that’s left is Nightmare Moon, but I think I’ll keep her a while,” Black said as he chuckled darkly.

Zeldris went to see what Gar had to say about that comment, but the Parasyte was nowhere to be found. Searching for his magical signature, Zeldris saw that Gar had gone off to the side and was speaking with the fairy sibling on something before rejoining the group. Zeldris found it odd that his friend was able to hide his presence so well indicating that Gar had indeed grown much stronger since they'd last met but decided to refocus on Black for the time being.

Zeldris cracked his neck and sighed. “Your laugh is annoying.” The demon walked over to Black and began to inspect his body. As he made his way behind Black he stopped and curiously looked at his tail. “This is a liability in battle, would you like me to get rid of it?”

Black look at Zeldris like he was crazy, “Alright, first my arm, now my tail. What, do you have a fetish for cutting off limbs.” Zeldris just looked at him annoyed. “Look, I kinda need this tail for a certain transformation. Plus, it may not do much but it does boost my power a lot.” Black explained.

Shrugging Zeldris made his way back to the front of Black. “So now it’s time for your magic, which I wanted to give you before getting rid of the memories, I digress.” Zeldris placed a hand on Black’s stomach causing him to jump. “Oh come on I’m not taking another limb or anything, settle down. Ok, so now I will be inserting mana into your body at this point right here.” Taking his thumb he poked Black right below his belly button before placing his hand flat on his stomach again. “I know you have already mastered Ki control, so hopefully this will be easy. However, I do not have the ability you use Ki so all we can do is hope.” Zeldris looked Black in the eyes. “Are you ready?”

“Yea, this should be interesting,” Black said, looking back at Zeldris.

Zeldris began to gradually insert mana into Black, who felt the intrusion immediately. “I want you to try to control it, try to make a circle.” Even with all the years of experience Black has had he was struggling. His body kept trying to overpower the magic with Ki hoping to squish the magic. “It’s not an infection so there is no need to fight it out of your system. I know that it will be difficult with the energy’s clashing, but you need to get it under control.” Zeldris then began to pour even more mana into Black.

The Saiyan was gritting his teeth as he tried to get the magic under control, but his ki was pushing the mana out of his body like a parasite. Black then got an idea. He closed his eyes, concentrating on a particular being lurking inside his head. He opens his eyes to a black void, floating endlessly. He then sees the dark mare, no longer wearing her silver armor, her star-filled mane now limply hanging to her side. She even looked depressed, but that didn’t affect the Saiyan, not after what she’s done. “Well well well, look’s like your plan worked did it…” Black said with a smile, his voice echoing through the void. This had surprised the mare and she immediately got to her hoofs and got in a defensive stance.

“Oh, will you just leave me alone already!” She said, her voice fills to the brim with venom. “You’ve already ruined my plans, my life, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!!!” Nightmare Yelled, shaking the void a little. However, Black hadn’t flinched at all, instead, he had actually smiled.

“I’ve come to make a small offer,” Black said, gaining the mare’s attention.

She scowled, “What is this ‘Offer’ you speak of.” Black grinned as he walked over to Nightmare.

“Oh, it’s something I need help with right now, you would understand.” Black then created two chairs and a coffee table, with a full-on tea set. He sat down and grab a cup and pour some steaming hot tea into it. “Tea?” Nightmare almost looked disgusted by the idea of having tea with him, but she let out a sigh and sat down with him. He then proceeded to pour some tea into her cup. “Right now I’m currently having magic being poured into my body and my ki isn’t so happy with it. It’s pushing the mana out like some sort of parasite.” Black explained, catching Nightmare’s interest. “Now this could end up in two ways for my body, one is that it could cause permanent damage to my body due to it acting differently with ki. Or I could simply detonate, who knows. But are you willing to take that risk?” Black looked Nightmare Moon in the eyes.

Nightmare looked a bit nervous at this but glared back at him. “But what’s in it for me, something like this should give me something big in return.”

“Freedom, a second chance at life?” Black had listed down, surprising Nightmare. “Now don’t think I’m giving you a chance at taking over the world, no. I’m giving you a chance at a new life, one where you can live happily among the ponies. This is a once in a life-time offer,” Black leans closer to Nightmare and glared at her, “Make the right choice.”

Nightmare had set her cup of tea down and began to ponder on her choices. She could either help Black and get a new chance at life, or she could refuse and be stuck in his mind forever and possibly watch him detonate. She had been siding towards the former, but then she settled on her choice. “Fine, I’ll bite.” She said.

Black grinned and clapped his hands together. “Great, how about we shake on it.” He said as he put his hand forward, wiggling his fingers a little. Nightmare looked on with disgust. She hesitantly grabbed him and shook it.

“You know I hate you,”

“Oh I know,” Black said, chuckling. The void had now completely collapsed all around them, his vision being obscured by the black shards of his mind. He opened his eyes to see Zeldris looking at him with an eye quirked. “Looks like things are settled now.”

“What is that supposed to mean?” Zeldris questioned. Black didn’t answer as he saw a look of realization on his face. “How did Ki settle down so quickly? Your mana pool is already created as well!” The demon exclaimed in shock.

“Let’s just say I came to an agreement with the dark side of the moon,” Black said with a devious smirk.

“Did you know? May I inquire about what said agreement is about?” Zeldris asked curiously.

“Well, I knew ki wasn’t going to mix well with magic at first, so I decided to persuade Nightmare Moon into helping me out. Begrudgingly, she agreed but wanted something more in return.” Black crossed his arms and look serious. “So I offered her at a second chance at life, not as a pony to be feared, but to be welcomed by the ponies.” Black had explained.

“I never had to deal with Nightmare moon before,” Zeldris stated bluntly. A smirk came on to his face. “You offered her a second chance at life? How do you plan to live up to that deal? If you only have Goku Blacks powers I don’t know how you're going to do it. What are you going to go find the dragon balls?” Zeldris laughed out the last sentence.

Black had let out a hearty laugh, “Ah, only if it were that easy, they don’t even exist back in my Equestria.” Black explained. “Also, who said I was going to do it.” Black let out a knowing smirk towards Zeldris, confusing him at first before he realized.

The air in the room grew tense as Zeldris began to let out waves of Reaistu. “Who do you think I am? You think I would bend over backwards and do something for you, that you did not even have the courtesy to ask me beforehand?” Black’s face fell as he didn’t expect this sort of reaction from the demon. “Know your place.”

“I’d thought you act like this," Black sighed, rolling his eyes.

"If I may be so bold as to cut in," Gar announced as he'd overheard the conversation. "We know that you can create undead and humminculi Zeldris but I suspect you have never worked with an already existing soul. I will suggest that I provide a body for Nightmare Moon by using my unique skill 'Split' that allows me to clone myself any number of times given I have the magic to do so. The clones are nowhere near the strength as when I use my physical split so she will not gain a massive amount of power from the body," He explained. "Though, giving that its is still a biological clone it will still have all of my power but to a much lesser degree."

"So what's he saying exactly?" Black looked at Zeldris.

Zeldris rolled his eyes while crossing his arms and shaking his head. "He's offering to make a body but the downside is she'll have access to downgraded versions of all his powers," Zeldris sighed. "On the upside, she still won't be a match for you."

"What all can you do though?" Black's attention shifted to Gar with a quirked eyebrow.

"In general, shapeshifting, blade generation made of organic metals found in the body, regeneration, darkness control due to my demon nature along with their natural magics like Hellbalze, Fairy biology meaning wings like mine as well as their ability to commune with nature and control plants," Gar listed. "She will not get my personal magic of Transpork but have to awaken her own magics. Lastly, there is now the manor of Saiyan biology. I can however remove some traits, during the creation of the body, like removing them or dulling them greatly. One factor being the clone won't have a mind and the sex will be a female variant of this form. Eventually, she'll be able to change her form to that of what she wants. Zeldris will be able to get to experiment with soul manipulation and I will see what factors I can influence in my clones. How does that sound?" He asked looking down to the two other Displaced.

Black starred into the night sky and spoke in his mind. ‘What do you say Nightmare Moon?’ Black asked the spirit. He could practically feel her sighing throughout his body.

‘I’ve got no choice so I? Buck it.’

‘That’s the spirit.’ Black looked to Zeldris with a smile. “So, what do you say?”

Zeldris glared at Black, then looked over to Gar. The parasyte merely locked eyes with Zeldris then looked away. “You owe me, monkey.”

“Oh, I know that.” Black growled, offended at the comment of being called a ‘monkey’

"Well then," Gat remarked, breaking the silence. "Let's get started. Unique Skill: Spilt," He said and he began to glow white. "Alter cloning, no mind, gender status changed to female, basic physical traits, physical size, and height set to average human and pony, unique magic undetermined." Gar listed off these and then stepped back leaving what appeared to be a hard light copy of himself.

The copy then shrank down to be a little shorter than Black. The hair grew out and then gain more feminine features but still retained its parents’ physical features. The most notable features were the fanged smile with four eyes on the face and long dark violet hair that ran down to the middle of the back, a furry brown tail similar to Black's, and the light-up technicolor butterfly-like wings determining that of Fairy Royalty. The darkness pattern changed to a crescent pattern and its cover area changed to that of the lower part of the body, particularly the right leg. While the upper part of the body it covered was mainly the breasts and the lower left arm and hand forming a monstrous claw similar to Derieri. The demon mark was on the right upper shoulder and it was a black crescent moon with three stars surrounding the moon.

"I took a few liberties based on descriptions from the accounts from the Elements, books, Luna, and Celestia," Gar said, speaking directly to Nightmare as he'd been aware of her from the beginning. "Once shapeshifting is refined you'll be able to look however you like but this will be your true form and what you will revert to when tire and can hold you shifting."

“And as a demon, you can feed on souls to replenish your energy.” Zeldris cut in. “Oh, and Gar have you eaten a soul yet?” He asked curiously as he faced the smiling monster.

“King Gar may be part demon but he would never stoop so low as to eat another creature's soul,” Gloxinia stated in anger.

“Quiet,” Gar commanded before returning his attention to Zeldris. “No,” Gar said flatly. “I do not see the point in this act. Then again I haven’t fought anyone deserving of having their soul eaten. Personally, it conflicts with my humanity. It would seem my moral compass is not as surpassed as I’d originally thought.”

“A shame. Souls are quite tasty, the stronger they are the more flavor and energy you get out of it.” Zeldris said in a somewhat disappointed tone. “Now back to the matter at hand; are the preparations complete for me to transfer Nightmare’s soul?”

“All factors are set and the body is but an empty shell with no mind or even instincts to move,” Gar confirmed. “Everything is ready for you to work the transference at your leisure.”

“Nightmare Moon is also prepared for the transfer,” Black interjected.

“Well then, let’s get started.” Zeldris walked up to black and put his and on his chest. Black then began to look off into space with a blank expression as Zeldris pulled out Nightmare’s soul. Before making sure it was the right one, he double-checked to make sure. When he did he was surprised that there were two souls left. The demon pulled out the soul that was emitting pure hatred and realized that this was Goku Black’s soul. With a smirk, he consumed the soul confusing Gar. A strange burning sensation could be felt in his chest, but he ignored it for now. “Don’t worry I didn’t eat Black’s soul if that’s what you were thinking. I was just getting rid of a pest.” Zeldris then made his way over to the husk Gar made and infused the soul within it.

“That was his soul, wasn’t it,” Black said as Zeldris nodded. “Good, I want you to make him suffer, the most brutal way possible,” Black said, his voice filled with venom.

“That’s not how it works, but he will be serving as energy for a while considering his power level,” Zeldris stated. All of a sudden Nightmare’s body began to convulse.

“The hell is happening to her?” Black asked Zeldris in confusion.

Zeldris hummed in thought. “It appears her soul is rejecting her new body. My best guess is that because it was not made with her DNA it will be harder to bond with.”

“Mmm…” Gar looked on as he then activated Basquias Moon Rose. “Super Droplet of Life.” An overly bright drop of super highly concentrated mana fell on Nightmare and she immediately started to calm down. “That should help.”

Nightmare’s body began to calm down until you could hear her steady breathing. Zeldris looked at Gar, “Super Droplet of Life, that must have taken a while to store up.”

“Very much so,” Gar crossed his arms. “It takes a week to distill a third of one it took me a whole month to make one. I only have one left.”

After saying that both Gar and Zeldris heads sipped around to the front of the tree. Black confused at first felt what they were feeling too. A huge amount of magic was being used to get into The Fairy King's Forest. The clearing was then lit up in a flash of light and when it died down three figures were standing there shocked at what they were seeing. Twilight, Luna, and Celestia arrived in Gar’s domain.

Author's Note

Wooohoo another crossover! This one was a real fun to write. It became way longer and a lot more stuff happened that I originally thought would.

This is only part one!

I’m very happy that I reached out to ShirtMechanic, he’s the author of Black story, so go check him out. And as always it was fun writing with Alvasa! I hope you all enjoy this and get ready for part two! Please point out any grammatical errors, and leave a comment on how we did!

Chapter Thirteen: Sayonara

"Gar what's going on?!" Celestia practically shouted, causing Zeldris to snicker. "We felt a huge spike in power coming from here several times in the last few minutes."

Luna's attention was on the fairy laying on the ground, "There's no mistaking this feeling," Luna said through gritted teeth as she bawled her fist. "Sister? Luna?" Celestia and Twilight said at the same time.

Luna pointed to the fairy on the ground as she charged her horn, "That Nightmare Moon on the ground. I will not allow you to exist!" She shouted in anger as she shot a huge blast of magic from her horn at the new reincarnated Nightmare.

With a sudden thump, Zeldris appeared in front of the blast using his Sonído and using a single palm not only blocked the blast but redirected it completely. Though not paying attention to where he redirected it to as he sent it right at Twilight.

"I find your actions utterly disgraceful and insulting," Zeldris commented as he was thoroughly disgusted with the night princess's attack. "I will not have all our work undone by some lowly goddess!" he spat to the side.

Black watched in awe at what was happening. But he also felt helpless as he couldn’t do anything, they were all occupied with the others.

"Twilight!" Gar yelled as he used Teleportation to appear in front of his princess and pulling her back behind him with his left arm and blocking with his right arm. "RAAAAAA!!!!" Gar roared as a golden aura enveloped him and his hair stood up in a spike fashion while turning golden blonde with his eyes turned into a solid shade of bright greenish cerulean. With his new power, and his Yggdra armor he deflected the blast straight up.

Black and Zeldris both smirked with pride while the princess looked on in awe as the Fairy King reverted back to base form and took a knee breathing heavily.

Luna's attention quickly turned back to Nightmare, "I will not allow this creature to exist!"

Zeldris summoned his zanpakuto and readied to fight with a scowl, "I welcome you to try goddess!"

Black then noticed that Princess Luna was summoning a weapon behind her back, most likely a dagger. It caught him off guard, and Zeldris didn't notice it. He had decided to step in. He quickly went into Super Saiyan and had started to push his power even further, surprising Celestia and Twilight. Luna didn’t notice it however as she charged Zeldris, preparing to strike the demon.

The Princess was stopped however by a hand covered in a yellow aura with lightning flickering over it. She looked to her left, only to see the glare of a terrifying look. Black no longer had any eyebrows, a single bang hung from his forehead, his hair traveled down his back. Lightning pulsated around him as his aura became more violent. Black had gone Super Saiyan 3, just to be safe. “That is the most disrespectful thing a warrior can do,” Black growled, his voice much deeper than it was before, This caught the princess off guard. “Also, you're going up against two of the strongest people here. Think before you act.” Black put his hand in front of Luna and sent a small shockwave, pushing Luna back to the other Princesses. He then calmed down and reverted back to his base form. He then went back to where he was before, watching the battle.

“How dare you-“

"THAT... IS... ENOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUHGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Gar roared, shaking the whole tree. "I AM GAR, SMILING MONSTER OF THE EVERFREE, FAIRY KING, AND BOAR SIN OF GLUTTONY!" Zeldris grinned. "THIS IS MY DOMAIN AND YOU WILL NOT FIGHT HERE AND RISK HARMING MY FOREST OR ONE OF MY PEOPLE! SHE WAS BORN OF MY FLESH, MAKING HER MY BLOOD, MY KIN. a FAIRY AND ABOVE ALL A FAIRY PRINCESS!" The Sacred Tree reacted to Gar's rage and the light on it turned a burning orange and red. He turned to Celestia and Luna "YOU DARE FORCE YOUR WAY INTO MY REALM AND ASSAULT MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND IN MY THRONE CLEARING NO LESS!" Branches all around sprang to life twisting, slithering, and creaked as they turned to sharpened spikes and targeting the sisters, specifically Luna.

"Gar that creature-" Luna started to say.

"QUIET!" Gar roared and stomped, shaking the whole area. "She deserves just as much a chance at life as you do Night Princess!" Gar pointed a bladed claw at Luna. "As long as she is in this world is considered no less my daughter by blood and a fairy by birth placing her under my jurisdiction, not yours. Furthermore, she isn't even the Nightmare Moon of this world but the one of Goku Black's!"

Gar pointed at the taller spiky-haired man behind Zeldris next to Nightmare who was looking at what was unfolding before her eyes, how total a stranger was defending her right to live in utter disbelief.

"But-" Luna started to say but was stopped by Celestia placing her hand on her sister's shoulder. "He is right, sister, about all of it. We have no right to take the life of one that was just given form, even if she is Nightmare Moon." Celestia looked at Gar. "I am sorry for our intrusion here Gar and I hope this does not sour our relations with you."

"I still consider you my friends Celestia but don't intrude here without permission again," Gar snarled. "I hope we are still friends, Luna."

Luna looked to the side angered. "We are but this still doesn't sit right with me."

“That escalated quickly,” Black said out loud, gaining everyone’s attention. “What, I wasn't expecting lulu” Black immediately realized what he said and tried to fix it, “ I-I meant Luna, I didn’t expect you to attack so ferociously, even the Luna of my world wouldn’t attack right off the bat.” He explained, mentally slapping himself for letting her nickname slip out. This got himself a glare from Luna. He did however spare a few glances at her a few times.

“Are you alright?” Gar turned to Twilight.

“I-I’ll be okay, thanks for saving me again,” Twilight said shakily as her face went flush slightly as Gar let her out of his grace.

Luna was getting annoyed at Black for he kept looking at her. “Is there something I can help you with?” Luna shot a glare at Black.

Black quickly looked away and started to whistle a tune. He didn’t however realize that he was slightly blushing. “Oh, nothing, nothing at all,” Black said quickly.

“You are all so pitiful,” Zeldris said, shaking his head.

“Hey!” ”Hey!” both Black and Luna yelled at the same time, both glaring at the demon.

“Enough!” Gar raised his voice fed up with this crap. “How are you doing Nightmare?”

Nightmare was rubbing the side, groaning. “Like I got beat the crap out of me again by Black.” Nightmare said while Black was grinning with pride. Nightmare looked up to see Luna staring daggers at her, which made her smile. “How's your popularity Luna? Do the ponies love you now without eternal night?”

“Very much so witch,” Luna sneered. “I have several friends and our ponies adore the work we do for them, I even host night court.” She crossed her arms. “And do you even realize that eternal night would’ve doomed the populace to starve in a matter of months? Then there are those who would freeze to death from the cold. I CAN’T BELIEVE I LET YOU TALK ME INTO THAT STUPID PLAN! LIFE WITHOUT THE SUN! DO YOU REALIZE THAT IS THE LIGHT FROM THE SUN THAT REFLECTS OF THE MOON THAT LET’S IT BE SEEN IN THE NIGHT SKY!!!”

“Easy sister,” Celestia calmed a fuming Luna down. “I think it is best we leave before somepony loses control of their temper.”

“I agree,” Gar nodded and the sisters teleported out. “Now back to you. Can you stand?”

“Yes,” Nightmare said, getting onto her feet.

“Good. Can you see if there is any problem when you try and move around more?” Zeldris asked as he looked over her form.

Nightmare then proceeds to stretch, moving all of her limbs to find any faults. With none found, she responded back. “All good here.”

“Excellent, I was expecting a delay in your movements, with your body not doing what your mind wants it to. Now I don’t have to worry about that nonsense.” Zeldris said as he plopped down on the ground and sat. “I’m getting bored. Gar, Black, do something to entertain me.”

Black stared at Zeldris with a blank look, “sorry to interrupt you being bored, but don’t I have to get back to my dimension?” Black questioned the demon.

Zeldris sat up to full attention. “That is true. Perhaps I can make a Gate to your world, using your memories.” Zeldris then layed down and began to think.

“We have a Dimensional Portal back at the Castle from when Doom was here,” Twilight cut in. “We could use that to send you home. It’ll just be four hours after you left.”

“But we need your token to put in the machine so we can coordinate and calibrate it for your homeworld,” Gar added. “But you haven't made one yet.”

“I heard about the token when you explained to me about the Displaced.” Black said, “I was thinking about using one of my potara earrings.” The Saiyan explained. “But the problem is that I don’t want anyone accidentally fusing with me.”

Zeldris rolled his eyes. “You all are so useless without me.” He opened his hand and it started to glow in white light. “Maximize Magic: Create Greater Item.” Within his hand were Potara earrings the same as Blacks. “Catch.” He said as he threw them at Black, who caught them with ease. Zeldris stood up and yawned.

“You know, I could’ve made my own,” Black said blankly while Zeldris stared at him with his eye twitching. “What, when Zamasu stole Goku’s body, he would still have his power to create things. They are gods after all.” Black explained to the demon as he examined the earrings.

“Are things always like this?” Twilight asked Gar.

“Depending on who you summon or are summoned to, though with Zeldris things tend to be interesting,” Gar shrugged before turning his attention back to the Displaced. “You have your item, now you need a phrase to attach to it. You can also have the token do specific things like be a communicator of sorts if you like, just think of the specific.”

Black was thinking of a phrase, he was having trouble. He began to float in the air and began to spin sideways. “Hmmm…” Black did this for a few moments until he figured it out, he then proceeded to land on the ground. “Whoever finds this earring will summon someone with the power of the gods. Subarashi!” Black finished his phrase with a word in Japanese he loved.

“Now toss it into the air,” Zeldris said.

Black nodded and tossed the earring a few times before proceeding to throw them into the air. It then surprised the Saiyan as they seemed to vanish from this dimension. “Huh, that’s new,” Black commented.

Then suddenly they reappeared above Black, surprising him. He caught them and saw Zeldris hand open, so he handed them to him. Once he did, another pair appeared back in his hand confusing him.

“Tokens make copies of themselves and send them through the multiverse. What you have now is the original.” Zeldris pointed to the one in Black’s hand. “I know you don’t need them, but keep it for when someone needs your token.”

Black nodded and looked at Twilight, “So Twilight, you’ve become an alicorn, that’s interesting.” Black commented, “I wonder how I’m gonna keep this away from the Twilight from my dimension.”

“You don’t tell her,” She said outright. “I- She’ll never really get there if you tell her, I had to figure it out on my own, but if you help that’ll make things easier for her.”

“Kinda hard when yo- she’s always asking questions about everything, even when it’s the smallest detail,” Black explained. “She wouldn’t stop asking about me when I was on my way to Ponyville with her and Spike…”

“Zeldris, let me see one of those,” Gar pointed to the earrings. Zeldris shrugged and handed over one of the Potara. “Can we use this Twilight?”

“Hmm…” She looked over the token. “I think so. Should we go to the castle?” Twilight looked at everyone. “We can send you back in the morning once the Portal has had a chance to cool down. You two look like you need some rest anyway,” she looked at Black and Nightmare.

“I would like that, I haven’t had any rest for about two days now,” Black commented, Nightmare nodded.

“I could also use some food. I wonder what James is cooking?” Zeldris cut in.

Black’s eyes widened quickly before he slapped his head with his hand and let out a heavy sigh. “Damn, I completely forgot about food. I should’ve had some food at Twilight’s ‘Welcome to Ponyville’ party.” Black complained, Nightmare only rolled her eyes at Black’s complaining.

“Gar do you have any chefs around here? If not I could make some.” Zeldris said as he looked around for any fairies.

“A few of the fairies have taken to eating regular food and the pony fairies can cook but no, I have no actual cooks,” Gar explained. “So yes one would be very welcome Zeldris.”

“Hmmm… you don’t seem like the type that likes undead like me. I guess I can summon a couple of Angels.” The demon jumped away from the group to make some room. “Variant: Summon Angel 10th tier.” A light blue magic circle appeared on the floor and out of it came three divine looking beings.

One was a woman who had light blonde hair and a white halo above her head. She had clear, peach skin and purple eyes. She wore a white long sleeve plain summer maxi dress with gold accents. You couldn’t see her shoes because they were covered by the dress. She wore beautiful golden armbands that were connected to a golden ring on her middle finger. On her right pinky, there was a silver ring. And she had a divine silver necklace that had some kind of jewel at the end of it. On her back was a pair of large white wings. In her hand was a large metal briefcase.

Another one appeared to be a boy with feminine features with light blue skin. He had long white hair spiky hair that went down his back with a pair of silver eyes. He wore a light grey suit with a black tie, black gloves, and black dress shoes. He had a large thin blue halo that went around his neck that seemed to defy physics as it hovered there. He also had a large staff with a dark sphere at the top, which also had a thin blue halo over it. When Black looked at him, he immediately thought of Whis from the 7th universe.

A third angel soon appeared, another female with a more muscular appearance. Her wings wear a very light shining grey or silver color while her hair was midnight forest green tied back in a short ponytail just above her neck with a set of twin fangs like bangs hung over her very well defined and sharp facial features. Her eyes were an icy blue with a somewhat fanged smile. Her clothes consisted of black denim pants, black leather pointed steel toe boots, a red t-shirt with a black spade in the center over the chest and the spade was overlaid with a silver celtic spade on it. She also wore a dark grey trench coat but the right sleeve was completely missing up to the shoulder to reveal her right arm adorned with some form of a red tribal tattoo. On her left thumb was a thin silver band and a thicker black one with a form of checker pattern with green metallic flecks in it. While around her left wrist was a leather bracelet with gold, copper, and silver adornments. On her back was some form of a lance.

“Why do none of you look like chefs?” Zeldris questioned the three as they kneeled before him. The blonde and greenette eye twitched slightly while the little blue one let out a muted chuckle. “Also you do not serve me, you serve the one who rules this domain. Fairy King Gar.” The demon spoke and made a hand motion to Gar. The three angels immediately went before Gar and bowed down. Black watched on with interest; he especially paid close attention to the blue one.

Gar took notice of Black’s action, “You, the blue one, what is your name?”

“My name is Wazu,” the angel replied. His voice was smooth and calm, like a river, which had surprised Black. To the Saiyan, the angel even sounded like Whis, which creeped him out a little.

“Wazu, you shall sever Goku Black,” Gar pointed to Black. “I have no need for three chefs. Is this acceptable?”

“That is acceptable,” Wazu replied, bowing his head. He then looked to the Saiyan and gave a small smile.

“And what of you two, what are your names?” Zeldris asked as he walked back up to the group.

“I am Adreana,” The one with the green hair spoke.

“My name is Yuki,” the one with the briefcase smiled.

“I am Zeldris, your creator. That is, as I already said, Gar your master. And that,” Zeldris gestured to the Saiyan. “Is Goku Black, as you may or may not have heard.”

“We are pleased to meet you father,” Yuki bowed. “I am the chef out of the two of us.”

“Whatever,” Adreana huffed, “I’m what’s called a Gourmet Hunter, I go out and track stuff down and she cooks it,” She pointed at Yuki. “But don’t let her cuteness fool you, she’s dangerous with or without her briefcase.”

Yuki smiled with her eyes closed with a slight giggle.

“Something tells me not to cross her,” Twilight pointed out as she shirked away slightly.

Zeldris used mana essence to scope them out. Out of the three of them, Wazu was the strongest, but not by much. Yuki was around the same strength as Adreana, but Adreana had her by a hair. In terms of strength, the three were pretty even. The three of them together would definitely overpower Simon when he was first created. However with Simon’s training and experience now, he would win.

"Um…" everyone's attention was pulled to Twilight Sparkle who was eyeing Zeldris while beaming with intrigue at.

"Not now Twilight," Gar cut her off sternly. "We," he motioned to the group excluding the angels. "Are all tired and need rest And others need food as well. You can ask about spells some other time."

Twilight looked at Black and Nightmare and fully understood, she was just now feeling the effects of her own adrenaline rush wearing as they spoke.

"I understand and I'm sorry about almost tackling you for the information," She looked down ashamed slightly. "Let's get everypony over to the castle for some food okay." Twilight gave the warmest smile she could muster at this time.

Black smiled at this, “That sounds like a plan.” The Saiyan looked over his shoulder, finding Nightmare. “You ready, Nightmare?” He asked. The dark mare nodded her head in confirmation, getting a smile from the Saiyan. “Looks like we're ready.”

“Let’s go.” Zeldris said and he began to walk away.

“Come on Nightmare, Wazu,” Black said as he began to follow the demon. The angel nodded and simply hovered next to the pair.

“You may want to hold on to Black’s hand Nightmare,” gar said in his usual monotoned drool. “You are still weak and not used to that body. I do not know what type of world you came from but I do know that you're still not totally in sync with your new form and will require help when it comes to prolonged bouts of use in that body for some time.”

Nightmare nodded and walked over to the Saiyan, who was holding out a hand. She hesitated a little but grabbed the hand and looked away. Black only laughed at this as he ignited his aura, preparing for flight.

“Before we leave the forest, what would you like to eat so that I may instruct the angels on what is available to hunt,” Gar looked at his guests.

“I do not have a preference on what they cook us, as long as it is filling,” Zeldris said before taking off towards Ponyville.

“How do you feel about Hydra meat Black?” Gar looked at the Saiyan then turned to Nightmare. “The ponies here mainly eat vegetables but also dine on meat occasionally, though mainly fish. What do you like?”

“I’ve had Hydra meat before, wasn’t that bad, I don’t mind,” Black commented while he waved a hand. “What about you Nightmare, want to give it a try?”

“I don’t see why not to use these fanged teeth at some point.” Nightmare explained while showing her sharp teeth.

“Let me explain your body a bit,” Gar shrank down and donned his Anthro Zebra form. “You are an omnivore now and will require food daily, at least two major meals a day. You will also sleep at night instead of the day due to your fairy nature. Like plants in nature, we can also gain energy from just being in the outdoors, day or night. Parayztes can be more carnivores than predators due to bloodlust, though since you were never a real parazyte you will not need to worry too much about this. You can still lose yourself to frenzy quite easily in the heated battle or a chance at seeing something that might trigger it. Your emotions are stifled as mine are so you must be more careful with this.” He turned to the angles. “There is a swamp not far from here, there you will find a five-headed hydra, one head to tw should be more than enough for a few meals. Go.” The angels nodded and flew towards the swamp.

“Let’s catch up to your friend before something happens. I don’t trust him alone,” Twilight pointed out flying toward town followed by Gar and the others with them arriving in no time at all. Zeldris had already made himself quite at home sitting in the map room with his feet propped up on the map, thoroughly annoying the purple pony princess.

“What took you so long? That flight is barely a minute long.” Zeldris asked as he opened his inventory and pulled out some strawberries. He threw them each one and ate the rest. “What’s your problem?” He said looking down to the pony who was glaring at him.

“Zeldris,” Gar got the demon’s attention.”Would you please respect Twilight’s castle as if it were your own? This is her home after all, or at the very least take your feet off of the map.”

Zeldris used Sonido and appeared on the other side of the room. “Just bring me my food.” He said as he leaned against the wall. He created a glass and used a spell to make him some water, he then took a sip of it.

“That would be our job,” Yuki remarked as she and the others came in. “that hydra has a nasty temper. We have the heads outside princess, would you please show us where the kitchen is?”

“Uh… sure,” Twilight reluctantly showed them where to go, leaving the Displaced and Nightmare to themselves. Before long she returned along with the angels pushing several carts of food into the room with a smell that made everyone's mouth drool. “I’ve never seen somepony cook like that and make so many dishes so fast,” Twilight commented awestruck.

“Dinner is served,” Wazu said with finesse and a bow.

“Dinner sure was good.” Zeldris said as he patted his belly. He then looked over to the Saiyan and glared. “And you Saiyan, learn to keep your hands in your own plate.” He said causing Black to chuckle and scratch the back of his head.

“I must heavily agree with Zeldris on this topic,” Gar looked at Black then to Moon.”Lest you fall prey to Nightmare and lose another arm.”

Zeldris stood up and brushed himself off. “I guess that is it for tonight then. I’ll see you in the morning.” The demon said as he then exited the library, confusing everyone present.

“Gar, would you help me show Nightmare and Black to their rooms for tonight?” Twilight asked her knight responded with a slight nod. “This way please” She led the others to a couple of the many spare rooms of the castle. “You’ll be right next to each other if you need one another, I bid you goodnight and pleasant dreams.” She and Gar then left.

Black looked at his room to see a nice king size bed in one corner with a bedside table next to it. There was a dresser right across from it and another door had led to the bathroom. And there was a double door that led to the balcony, showing the small town of Ponyville. Black took off the bottom part of his shirt, which had to be replaced. He looked to a mirror across the room to see the numerous amount of battle scars that befell him. There was a large hole like one on his left bicep, where he was one impaled by a very sharp hand from an enemy of the past. There was a large cut across his abs when he was injured in a battle with Sombra. There was more than he could remember in simpler terms. The Saiyan had laid down on the bed and tried to fall asleep, but it didn’t seem to work, so the Saiyan thought a shower would help.

He got off the bed and made his way towards the bathroom, turning on the light so he wouldn’t stub his toe again. He made it and went to the shower, finding many different types of soaps. He turned the water on and waited for it to heat up, while that was going on he took off his ragged pants and boots. He waited a few moments before getting in the shower, letting the water run through his hair. He grabbed one of the bottles, not paying attention to the label, he poured some of it onto his hand and rubbed it in his hair. He then went on to rub the soap over his body. He groaned a little when he went over some of the scarred areas of his body. He could still feel the pain, always there to remind him of his mistakes.

The events throughout his first day out of stone still shocked him. The fight with Nightmare Moon, finding out he’s a displaced, meeting new people with different powers, giving Nightmare a body, he now has magic. It had overwhelmed the Saiyan. After he finished his shower, he got out and grabbed a towel, drying himself off. He put his ripped pants and boots back on before stepping out of the bathroom. He went to his torn undershirt and looked through it, trying to find the pocket. After he found it, he pulled out a picture that has been through its fair share of years. It was a picture of himself and Luna at a fair, Luna had pink cotton candy on her snout while he was laughing. It brought back good memories of that fair, bringing a smile to the Saiyan. After looking at it for a good minute, he put it loosely in his belt.

After everyone had gone to sleep, or so he thought, Black opened the door to his room and peeked out to see the empty crystal halls. It was a perfect moment to get some fresh air, Black smiled. He quietly stepped out of his room and closed the door slowly, making sure not to make any noise. After that, he flew through the halls, trying to find the entrance. After a good 15 minutes of flying, he found the doors and swung them wide open. They made little to no sound, which was good for the Saiyan.

After he had stepped outside, closing the door behind him. He flew off into the air and started to fly around, taking in all the fresh air. Black let out a small smile as he glided through the clouds, small droplets of water landing on his face. He opened his eyes to see a crescent moon hovering above him. He looked for a small pond out in the clearing and found one. He softly landed on the grass and quickly sat down, putting his hands on top of his knees. The sound of the wind passing through, moving his spiky hair, it soothed him.

Black felt like falling asleep right there and then, but heard the flapping of wings behind him. He had thought it was Twilight, so he sighed and stood up. He looked behind him to not see the purple alicorn, but Princess Luna. She wore a black dress this time with her regalia. She had no weapons with her, but it didn’t put Black at ease though. “What can I do for you, Luna?” Black asked, his voice filled not with anger, but a sense of calm like the wind. Luna stood there with a straight face, never failing until a stern look appeared.

“How did you know the nickname Tia gave me?” Luna questions with a stern look. Black had sighed, mulling over how he was going to explain this to a different Luna. He faced her with a straight face, trying to figure out what to say. Failing to find the right words, the Saiyan let out a heavy sigh and spoke the truth.

“Since the day I met you, the same day I arrived,” Black paused, trying to remember a certain number. “That was 1,015 years ago,” Black said, surprising the moon goddess.

“Only we- I thought only alicorns could live that long,” Luna said, making the Saiyan nod in conformation.

“You're correct, Alicorns do live on forever until they are slain. Saiyans do not have that ability,” Black explained, sitting down on the grass again, looking up to the Alicorn. “I only got out of my stone prison recently, like a day ago.” This had shocked the Princess, which got a smirk out of the Saiyan. “If you think that I was in there because I did something horrible, then you’d be wrong. I chose to be sealed in stone. But the reason was that not only you had a Nightmare parasite to deal with, I also had one. But he was more ruthless and merciless than your Nightmare.” Black then went on to explain what his Nightmare had done and what he had to do in order to stop the parasite from taking over. Luna throughout this is left speechless, she c
couldn't come up with anything.

She felt bad for the Saiyan, both of them had to deal with their Nightmare’s. However, she failed to stop it, while he succeeded, but suffered the same price as she. “We are terribly sorry for thou,” Luna apologized. The Saiyan only shook his head at this and let out a small smile.

“Don’t be, there's no need for that, I’ve already gotten enough of those from Celestia and Luna back from where I’m from.” Black let out a small laugh, getting a smile out of the Princess. He had also noticed Luna had been looking at his scarred body, making him chuckle. The dark alicorn noticed and quickly looked away, blushing. He was about to say something until a piece of paper fell onto the ground, his eyes widened. He went to grab it but a light blue aura surrounded it, flying into the alicorn’s hands, the Saiyan gulped nervously.

The alicorn looked at the picture of him and Luna at the fair with interest. She examined every detail of it, “What are you doing with me, and what is that pink stuff on my snout?” Luna asked, quirking an eyebrow as she pointed at the picture.

“Well… that’s me and you at the fair and what’s on your snout is cotton candy,” Black explained. “I think that was a few years after I arrived in Equestria. You wanted to take me to a fair since I’ve never been to one before.”

She looked at it a bit more before letting out a warm smile, “You two must be the best of friends.” Luna commented as he handed me back the picture. I took it and put it more securely in my belt this time.

“Yeah, the best,” Black said with a smile. “Anyway, I should be getting some rest, I haven't had a good sleep for a while now,” the Saiyan commented.

“Alright then, sweet dreams, Goku Black,” Luna said, giving Black a warm smile, before spreading her wings and taking off for Canterlot Castle. The Saiyan watched her until she vanished from view, he took one more good look at the moon before letting out a small chuckle.

“Different dimension, same old Lulu,” Black said before taking off back to the castle, smiling the whole way there. Once he arrived, he quickly snuck his way back to his room, making sure not to make a sound. He got to his room and quickly made his way inside. Once inside, he took a long look at the bed before jumping face-first into it. A few minutes later, the Saiyan passed out into a peaceful sleep, one he hadn’t felt for centuries.

At the same time in the Castle of Friendship

Twilight walked through the halls while Gar followed close behind her. To tell the truth she was barely holding herself together. She knew that Gar dealt with these sorts of things and she'd even helped out with some of it within the last few months, but it was still overwhelming. Through a combined effort of him and the extremely powerful demon calling himself Zeldris, with a little help of Goku Black playing host, they'd actually managed to revive one of the most dangerous ponies ever known during her time. Then there were the beings known as angels that had also been created by Zeldris. Let's not forget the fairies that had been born from nature itself and the gathering of the other known fairy species as of late.

Gar had done so much for the ponies since he'd come to this land, a world not even his own and yet he risked his life for them and most of all her. So much had happened in the time she'd met the being behind her, though she never questioned why he protected her. And once again this very night he'd saved her once more without questioning himself or even the thought of a risk to his own life.

The duo soon arrived at Twilight's room. "Here you are Twilight, have a good night. I will be in one of her other rooms should you," Gar said nonchalant. He turned and started to leave then Twilight grabbed onto his hand. "Hmm..." he looked to see her eyes hidden behind her bangs. "Twilight what is wrong?"

"Why?" she said softly as tears started to run down her cheeks.

"Hmm..." he raised an eyebrow.

"Why do you go so far to protect us, to protect me?" She looked up into his eyes. "No pony even asked you to watch out for me but yet you've almost died several times just for me! WHY?!" Her grip got tighter on his hand.

"Originally it was because you all were Zecora's friends then because you all became my friends and this was your home. But as time went on it was because I genuinely wanted to protect something," Gar led her into her room and to her bed for the second time that night. "Something that I actually wanted to do for myself. I don't really understand it too much myself, Twilight. All I know is that I want to protect you from any harm and keep you safe. I..."

In the next moment, Twilight jumped and wrapped her arms and wings around the unsuspecting parazyte. She'd planted a very passionate kiss right on his lips and as she held him close. It wasn't long before the two broke apart and Gar was left with a genuine blush across his muzzle.

"Thank you for always protecting me," Twilight said softly as she placed her head on his shoulder. "Would... would you mind staying with me, at least until I fall asleep?"

"As you wish my princess," Gar said with a bow. He didn't know why but those words he'd just said filled him with a warmth he'd never known before. After tucking Twilight in and checking over things one more time he went to close the door and heard someone come in through the foyer. He took a quick sniff of the air, "Black..." he raised an eyebrow slightly then shook his head while returning to Twilight who'd already fallen asleep. "Sleep well my little pony," Gar said warmly as the moonlight showed through the currents as he sat in a chair.

The Next Morning

Gar awoke the next day just as the sun started to peer over the horizon. He ended up falling asleep in a chair in the corner of Twilight’s room. Getting to his hooves he started to shift into his true form and stretched off his stiffness from the previous night’s rest. His next action was checking on his princess.

Twilight was still nestled in her four-poster bed snuggled into her blankets with a big grin on her face and drool coming from the side of her mouth, “Hehe… books…” she muttered in her sleep.

“Must be a good dream,” Gar remarked to himself. He then heard a noise from outside.

Going to Twilight’s window Gar saw that the noise was coming from Goku Black. He looked like he was going through a set of motions. That’s when it came to Gar, that he was training. Gar was somewhat familiar with this action as he’d often found his older brother up early in the morning going through his own move sets when he’d stay with Gar and his friends.

Opening the window, Gar flew out and down to Black. “Up early aren’t you?”

Black turned around to see Gar standing there, the Saiyan smiled. “Morning Gar, yea.” Black greeted. He stopped his motions and faced Gar, “I think the morning is always the best time to train, the cool breeze helps a lot.” Black explained as he started to wipe some sweat from his head. “Do you know if Zeldris is up?”

“I am,” Zeldris said as he appeared using Sonido, making Black jump a little. A smirk made its way into Zeldris’ face. “Look what I found out I can do last night.” The demon stuck out his hand at Black and fired a small Ki blast at the Saiyan, who easily deflected it into the ground.

“Dear Mr.Popo, a little warning next time?” Black said as the dust rested onto the ground. “I see you’re using his energy to use ki.”

“Hmm… with training, I will soon do this, but I must hold for the time being,” Gar looked at the others. “Breakfast or portal? Or is there something else on your mind to do?”

“I’d say breakfast, what about you Zeldris?” Black asked the demon.

“That sounds like an excellent idea,” Zeldris answered back.

“Anything specific?” Gar said in his monotone drool.

Zeldris reached his hand into his inventory only to come out empty-handed. “Something to do with strawberries, because I’m out. This won’t do.” He said with a slight frown on his face.

“Eggs and Pancakes, that’s pretty much it.” Black said as he started to reminisce. He remembered that Celestia always made the best pancakes.

“Strawberries are easy enough to grow,” Gar said as a strawberry patch grew behind Zeldris. They were big and as red as a red demon. “Though they may not compare to your own servants Zeldris. Why don’t we have Spike make some of his pancakes with these? or better yet the angels?” He suggested.

“Nobody is better at making food than my mummies, especially, Jean,” Zeldris said as he thought back on the mummy who is always in a chef hat and apron. “But the Angel’s pancakes sound quite good.”

“The Angel’s cooking was fantastic last night, so Angel’s it is.” Black said with a smile. “But before that, I should go take a shower…” Black slightly chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head.

“You should also check in on Nightmare Moon,” Gar added. “She may not be used to her new form, but shifting is as easy as thinking while hovering occurs even before a fairy has its wings. I may have saved her and she is a fairy under my protection while here, but she is still your responsibility and I don’t want her unleashed upon this world. I may have ruined my relationship last night with the sisters. I don’t want it to not be worth the sacrifice of my friends.” Gar noted sternly to Black while Zeldris was busying himself refilling his inventory with strawberries.

“I already knew she was my responsibility when I made the deal with her. I don’t want her destroying any relationships with anyone, certainly not your friends.” Black said with a smile, he gave Gar a thumbs up. “And that’s a promise, I’ll go check up on her on my way to my room,” Black said.

“Beware of the Shower Drake this early in the morning my friend,” Gar warned. “He is not ashamed when ponies walk in on him, but if you don’t be afraid to back out quickly as a face full of green flames awaits you if you don’t.”

“Noted, but I don’t why a dragon would be in the bathroom in my room?” Black commented but shrugged it off as he ignited his aura and took off towards Nightmare’s room. Leaving a thin trail of ki behind.

“Does he not know that the only bedroom with a bathroom in it is Twilight’s,” Gar scratched his head. “I do hope Spike is in a good mood this morning,” His attention back on Zeldris. “I must ask you something important, my friend. Do you think the growth of the Sacred Tree has connected our worlds?”

“That’s what it seems likely,” Zeldris said as he rose to full height, having picked enough fruit. “I was in my world when I was enveloped by the mist, then the next thing I know is I’m in your Equestria. And with the Sacred Tree appearing, I would have to assume that you’ll be seeing demons around sooner or later. Or maybe even The Goddess Clan.” Zeldris walked up to his friend and placed a hand on his shoulder. “If you have Gloxinia and Gerheade here, then there is no telling how many others will show up as well. So be on the lookout and call me if needed.”

“I will do this if I need to and the same goes for me,” Gar monotoned. “If I may also ask a favor, if any wonder into the Everfree that just pop up out of nowhere, would you send them back here. There is a legend that says some completely disappear in the Mists of the Everfree and now I suspect I know why. I will grow a specific flower in the mist on this side that makes them so they may be sent back.” Gar looked up to TwilightOs window. “Last night you called Luna a goddess. Are they true goddesses of the Goddess Race or their Descendants?”

“I believe that they are either the descendants of the Goddess Clan or at the very least a low-level Goddess.” Zeldris started to pace back and forth. “They are not strong enough to be a high-level Goddess, and they are too strong to just be descendants. As you may or may not know the descendants of the Goddess Clan were very weak. Have you met or heard of Faust? Depending on your answer I may be able to solve this puzzle.”

“No I haven’t met her,” Gar shook his head. “But I have heard tell of her in passing conversations during my stays in Canterlot and her name comes up quite often in the history books of this world that I have often read.”

They were however interrupted when they heard a scream. “SHIT!!” Black’s voice echoes throughout the castle and outside. The next thing that happens is a massive field of green flames escapes one of the windows of the castle. “I TOLD YOU I'M SORRY!” Then another window explodes in flames. The Saiyan appears next to them using the instant transmission technique, he showed up covered in sute, he had a pissed off look while his right eye was twitching. “FINE!” Black shouted as he threw his hands into the air and turned around and walking away from the castle, “I’ll go fucking find a damn pond.”

“I did warn him,” Gar shook his head then returned his attention to Zeldris.

Zeldris looked to the burnt saiyan who was walking away and smirked. “You and green flames do not go together.” He sighed before getting back on topic. “Simon once mentioned to me that Celestia and Luna are the daughters of Faust. If that’s the case for this world as well, I would have to say that they can be classified as a Goddess. However,” The demon began to rub his chin in thought. “I don’t know what race the father could be. And judging if by how they don’t have the eyes a goddess normally does, and they have less strength, I am going to classify them as a Demi-Goddess.” Zeldris walked back up to Gar and placed a fist on his chest. “You can sense magic now. So that means you can find out for sure if you feel that their magic radiates divine-like feeling, your new ability to use Ki should come in handy with that too. I called them Goddesses earlier because Of how their mana radiated with divine energy. To find out for sure, in times of strife and hardship when they are back against a wall, look at their eyes.” Zeldris said as he made a gesture to his eyes and used an illusion spell to make them the ones the Goddess poses. He then patted Gar on the chest before walking inside. “Let’s go eat, shall we?”

Gar gave a curt nod going inside while leaving the crispy Saiyan on the lawn smoldering.

(After Breakfast)

“Those strawberry pancakes were divine.” Zeldris complimented the angels as they were walking to the map room. “Using Strawberry milk instead of normal milk was ingenious.”

“You are too kind father,” Wazu bowed with a smirk.

“Not my best work but if you praise it as such then it must be worthy of something.” Yuki stroked her chin.

“Yea yea, can we get this show on the road,” Adreana complained.

“This way if you all please,” Twilight motioned to the basement of the castle. “We had to build it in the basement so we could directly tap into the lay lines of the planet for a bet of extra power.” Twilight turned on the lights to reveal the portal. It resembled the Sartgate even with its own control pad. “Gar The token please.” The knight handed over the potara and Twilight plunged it into the machine and began to type on the keypad. Soon the gate’s rings began to spin and the gate ignited with an energy inside it the resembled rippling water. “Now we just wait for the scan to find your world Black but it might take a few minutes as you’ve never encountered Displaced till now,” she pouted slightly as her ears flooded against her ears.

“Thank you Twilight,” Black thanked the purple alicorn. He turned to Nightmare Moon, who had gotten a handle of her magic, changing her appearance. She looked the same last time Black saw her back on his world. The Saiyan turned to Gar and smiled. “Oh and Gar,” catching his attention, Black continued. “If you need help getting to the other transformations or accessing god ki, come summon me.”

“I will,” Gar nodded. “A fair warning to you is to watch out for the Fullmetal Alchemist who goes under the moniker of the Crimson Sage. He is my older brother and he is extremely powerful to the point he can travel the Void without the use of a token in order to be summoned being summoned. I have no doubt he already knows about this occurrence between us. Just a fair warning is all.” He turned to Zeldris. “We have our problems to deal with as well. Since our worlds connect now we can freely travel to and from them, I suggest we meet every other week or so to stay in touch on the happening. What do you think?”

“That sounds good to me, stuff is going on right now but I can manage it. You can meet the newest member of the Sins, Pharmakon Fox Sin of Greed.” Zeldris sighed before continuing. “Still no sign of Gluttony. I want you two to meet, and find out who the true Gluttony Sin is.”

“I will do all in my power to prove myself to you that I am the one true Boar Sin,” Gar responded, holding up his fist, not even questioning his sudden outburst.

The gate’s pad started to buzz and flash red. Twilight looked over the data and smiled turning to Black and Nightmare. “Found your world you two. I have a few things I need to inform you,”” She explained. “I can send you back to exactly where you left off from but four hours will have passed since you left your world. Sorry, but I can’t send you back at the exact moment. The journey can also be a little taxing on you magically, physically, and mentally. So I recommend that you either eat a snack right a way or take a nap as soon as possible. Especially you Nightmare since you’re still getting used to your new body. Black, you might be okay but be careful all the same.” She looked at the portal and it stopped spinning. “Alright, it’s all set you two. All you need to do is walk through it.”

“Alright, you ready Nightmare?” Black asked the dark mare.

“As ready as I’ll ever be,” Nightmare commented as she walked towards the portal and through it. Black watched before slowly walking towards the gate.

“Oh, and Zeldris,” Black turned around, catching his attention. Without saying a word, Black playfully gives Zeldris the bird. The demon smiled at this.

“Yeah, yeah just walk through the damn portal,” Zeldris said as he gave a short nod at him.

“See ya, come on Wazu,” Black said as he went on a slow jog to the gate to a full on sprint as he disappeared through the portal. Wazu followed shortly after Black, doing a quick bow before entering the portal. Black’s voice echoed throughout the portal, “Until next time!”

Zeldris looked to the parazyte. “He was interesting. I wonder what is wrong with me. I went out of my way to help him.” The demon then began to snicker. “Probably because he was as pathetic as a stray dog.”

“I still do things that not even I understand my friend,” Gar replied with a sigh. “But helping him just felt right is all I can say. What will you do now?”

“I guess it’s time for me to go as well. Gate.” A purple portal opened up next to the one that Black went through. “Before I go, was I supposed to do something? I feel like I’m forgetting something.” Gar shook his head no. “Ah, no matter. I’ll figure it out later. See you next time old friend.” Zeldris went through the portal. It closed quickly behind him.

“Good luck and until next time,” Gar nodded then turned to Twilight who’d just now realized they were alone and her thoughts drifted to last night’s events before bed causing her to blush.

“Uh… I gotta go reorganize the library, see you later Gar,” She started to walk off then stopped and turned around. “You should go see the princess about what happened last night. I’m sure you can all make up or… whatever you need to do. I’m sure you're still their friend, well, bye!” Twilight darted off.

(Back in Zeldris Equestria)

As Zeldris exited the portal, he pulled out his grimoire to see if it had any flight spells so he can practice his control. Then it hit him. “Awww shit, I forgot to give Gar his Grimoire.” He tried to activate his own grimoire with no luck. “Son of a bitch, he wasn’t kidding. I’ll see Gar in a week or two so I guess I’ll give it to him then.” He took off in the direction of Simon's magic.

Welp that’s that! I hope you enjoyed, because I enjoyed writing it. This will hopefully not be the last time Zeldris and Black meet. I’m going do homework, Peace!

Chapter Fourteen: A Strange Feeling...

As I landed at the front of my tower I was greeted by James. Before when I dropped off Simon and Kon I never got a good look at his new appearance. He changed, now he looks badass. As I approached him he got on one knee and looked to the ground, making me raise a brow.

“I am sorry, my liege, for abandoning Simon during the fight.” As he spoke I could hear the fear in his voice. He looked up to me, his white eyes burning in regret, and bowed. “Please show mercy on this loyal subject. I was afraid and feared I would only get in the way of Simon as he fought.” I began to approach him once more but before I could say anything the rest of the mummies burst out of the door and jumped in front of James, trying to protect him. In a panic, the head butler got up and tried to quell his fellow mummies in order for them to not be punished.

I walked past them all without saying a word. I looked back at James and gave a quick nod to him, causing him to fall to his knees in relief.

Locking in on Simon’s magic signature I make my way over to where he is. We have a medical area underneath the library. This tower has so many things I don’t know about. I made my way through the hallways and I found the room where Simon magic is the strongest. When I open the door I see the newest sin Greed standing over Simon with his hand planted over his mouth.

In an instant I was next to the dragon and grabbed him by the throat, lifting him up in the air. “What do you think you're doing?” I question in a dark tone as Kon tries to pry my hand off of him.

“I.. am trying… to help.. him… YOU IDIOT!” he said in between breaths. I dropped him to the ground to let him explain. “There is residual poison from our fight in him. And my poison is extremely toxic as you should know by the amount of damage caused.” He stood back up and placed his hand back over Simon’s mouth. “For the past three days, I’ve been coming here and taking the poison out of his system slowly so as to not cause any internal damage.” As he said that he raised his hand and out of Simon’s mouth came a string of poison that flowed back into the dragon.

Simon woke up and burst into a coughing fit, before calming down and going back to sleep.

Kon looked at me and shook his head. “Don’t worry he’s been doing that every time I extract poison. I’ll come back in an hour and two, to check up on him.” The dragon then walked out of the room making his way to the lounge area.

Walking up to Simon, I place a hand on his head and use a healing spell. “That's good,” I said as his breathing evened out and he stopped sweating. Now I need to go see how the ponies are doing.

Canterlot Castle, Throne Room

“What are we going to do, Tia?” Luna questioned as she paced back and forth in the middle of the throne room. There weren’t as many guards with them as they were still recovering from the effects of Kons rampage. “Our ponies are calling for the dragon's head, but Zeldris took him in.”

Celestia who was sitting on her throne began to rub her temples. “I have no idea, Lulu.” She then let out a long sigh. “We will have to consult the demon and see if he’ll give us the dragon. If he doesn’t,” a dark look crossed her face. “We will have to take it by force.” Luna shivers at the thought of fighting against the demon and fallen duo again.

“Have you gone mad sister? What chance do we possibly stand against them?” Luna started to laugh madly. The pressure in the room became very heavy, and the guards were casting glances at one another nervously. Luna then looked at her sister with a crazed smile on her face. “If you try to take something from that man, you will die.”

Before Celestia could retort the doors flew open. “Aunties what’s going on! Why are my subjects rioting in the streets?! I’ve put up with it long enough!” Blueblood yelled in anger. “GUARDS! Go teach those ungrateful nobles their place!” The red-faced prince commanded the guards in the room. The royal guards began to move before being stopped.

“You will do no such thing, return to your position, Day Guards. And dear nephew…”

“SILENCE AND BE GONE!” Both Luna and Celestia yelled in the royal Canterlot voice in unison, causing Blueblood to fall to the ground in shock.

In a huff he scurried out of the room, the guards shutting the door behind him.

After a couple of minutes, somepony finally spoke. “How are Twilight and the elements of harmony doing?” Luna asked as she walked up to her throne and took a seat next to her sister.

Celestia sighed. “They are fine, just a little shocked from all the aftermath of the fight. I think.. umm.. what was her name? Butters? The yellow one was the one who was hit the hardest.” Luna quirked a brow. Seeing this look Celestia continued. “She is the one who loves animals, and with the forests being damaged by the poison cloud some of the animals were affected.” Luna nodded in understanding.

“Well, that’s good to hear as long as none of them were hurt—”

“Worrying about me how kind,” I said as I entered the room using a gate. The guards around me went to attack but Sloth raised her hand.

“Ah, Captain, just who we wanted to talk to.” Sloth rose from her throne, followed by Envy, and met me in the middle of the room. “Now, how about we talk about this dragon you’ve taken in?”

I smirked. “Oh, you’ve heard? So you should also know that said dragon is your fellow sin.” Both of their mouths dropped at that. I chuckled a little before continuing. “Judging from your reaction, you didn’t know!” I said in mock shock as I put a hand over my mouth to cover my smile.

“How can you let a dragon as vile as that be a sin! Isn’t our job to protect ponies? He’s done nothing but kill them!” Luna yelled in protest. She became began to let her bloodlust loose on me.

I wasn’t having that.

I let my bloodlust out, and let it fill the room until it was hard for them to breathe. Once the guards fell to the floor I stopped. “What is the name of your group, hmm? The Seven Deadly Sins. Sins are not a good thing. Sins are evil are they not?” I questioned sincerely. “And our job is to protect the whole world, not just the ponykind.”

“That may be the case, but me and Lulu are Sins. We are not evil.” Sloth said in defense

Looking at her in the eyes I spoke. “Yes, yes you both are. Or were. In the past, you two must have been terrible ponies to be named a sin. I don’t know much of the history of this world but from my travels, in the multiverse, I do know of your dirty secret Envy.” A chill went down her spine as a wicked smile crossed my face. “Nightmare Moon.”

She fell to her knees and was immediately comforted by her sister. “Now I just need to find out the full story of your sin Luna. And I need to find out how you acquired the sin of Sloth, Celestia.”

“It was not Luna’s fault she was possessed by a demon! It’s not her fault at all.” Sloth said as she helped Luna back to her feet. “Now apologize to her you—”

Luna quickly stood up, startling her sister. “It’s alright Tia. It’s just it caught me off guard that he knew.” Dusting off her dress she cleared her throat. “Now back to what we were discussing before, our ponies demand the dragon's head. Without it, I don’t believe we can calm our ponies' rage.” Luna stated calmly.

“Ok,” I said rubbing my chin in thought to the surprise of the two princesses.

“Wait what? You're really going to kill him? I thought you said…” Luna trailed off confused.

“No, I’m not going to kill him. I’ll use a little trick called deception.” The princess tilted their head in confusion. “Follow me outside.”

We made our way outside to be greeted by a large number of ponies outside that were in a crazed state. Most had fresh tear stains, while others eyes were red from having cried so much before. Some were angry and yelling their heads off about the injustice that was committed. While others had a blank stare looking off into space. These were all the various types of ways the ponies felt with the grief, of losing loved ones.

“Ahem.” I clear my throat to get the attention of my subjects— er the ponies. Celestia was on my right and Luna was on my left. We flew up above the crowd so they could all clearly see us. “Most of you may not know me, but I am a close friend of your princess.” Both of them scoffed. “They have called me to deal with a problem you wanted to get rid of. A certain dragon problem.” At saying that they began to cause a ruckus again. I raised my hand for silence, which I got. “Thank you. I am sorry for all of your losses. But do not fret, for I have the thing which you’ve asked for.”

I raised a hand palm facing the sky and above us, a purple dragon's head materialized. Shocking the princesses and the ponies below. You could clearly see where it was cut off at, and it was not a clean cut. A lot of the ponies threw up upon seeing it which cause me to snicker.

After they had a minute to see the head I ignited it on fire and it vaporized instantly.

“You no longer have to fear! I have slain the evil dragon! Now is the time to rejoice!” I said, my voice amplified by magic. I wrapped my arm around Celestia and Luna and teleported back into the throne room.

“What was that?!” Luna yelled as she wiped the bewildered look off her face.

Letting out an exasperated sigh I spoke. “It was just a simple illusion spell.” Both of their mouths dropped once again. That is getting annoying. “Have you not noticed my power up? I have my second demon Mark activated, which means I have access to all of my 9th and 10th tier magic and more transformations.”

Celestia shook her head. “No it’s just for that illusion magic was so real, it reminded us of a certain someone we had to deal with when we were younger.” I saw her shiver at the thought of the person.

That interests me greatly, but it’s time to go. For some reason, I’m feeling extraordinarily tired. “That is interesting but I have other things to do, so we will talk about this later.”

Back at The Finger

As I made my way to my throne, a peculiar Mickey wrapped present was on it.

“James.”

“Yes, my liege?” He asked as he appeared besides me. Before I could speak he noticed the gift on my throne as well. “Why is there a box on your throne?”

I sighed. “That is what I was going to ask you.”

He walked up to my throne and grabbed the gift, then brought it down to me.

Once the present was in my hands I noticed a letter attached to it. The letter read…

Dear Asshole..

My baby brother went through hell to get this. He literally tore apart his body in the process. He is in bad shape right now so I'm delivering it on his behalf. BE GRATEFUL. I don’t know how long he’ll be down as I’m only helping him a little. I’m his brother, not his nurse, but that doesn’t mean I don’t keep an eye on him or Asta for that matter. In the box is something in a set of six, where the others are, I have no idea. Use it well and know another one of your sins will come soon.

From,
Edward Elric

P.S.-I also saw Asta has given you Waterbending but no scrolls for you to learn from. I have corrected this with a box of them that will appear after you open your first gift.

P.S.S- Go fuck yourself !_!

“Ok then… Wonder if I should pop in on Gar and see if he is alright?” I mumbled to myself as I opened the box. Inside was a soul, but in the soul was what appeared to be a red right-outward facing crescent moon with a circle in the center of the moon on it. “Interesting, this is a demon's soul, if I remember correctly that is Pump’s demon mark. Wait a second, the soul of the other supposed ‘Six Knights of Black member’ Sith didn’t have a demon mark on it.” I rubbed my chin. “Must have been a fake.” I hummed out in thought.

Another box appeared, and I let the soul flout next to me. In the box were the waterbending scrolls like he said. “Ah, finally I can work on my bending.” I stored the scrolls on my inventory and was about to walk off. “Oh can’t forget about you.” I grabbed Pump’s soul and devoured it. “That had to have been the best soul yet.”

On my way to my room, my body started to feel weird. A burning pain ignited all over my body. Placing a hand on my chest I casted heal, which seemed to have made whatever was happening stop. “Strange… I guess I need some sleep..”

And with that, the day is over.

Chapter Fifteen: Pitch Black

Zeldris Mindscape

“What’s going on?” I ask myself as I look around what seems to be a pitch-black world. There are no signs of life anywhere. Only darkness. I decide to fly around for who knows how long only to find nothing. “Is anyone there?” I yell out in frustration.

Nothing.

Suddenly a light peered through the darkness. Overcome with joy I fly to the light as quickly as I can. No matter how much I seem to fly I can’t reach it.

“Goddammit!” I yell as I dive towards the ground, hitting it as hard as I can trying to get some reaction. Sounds of cracking spread all of the darkness causing me to smile nervously. All at once, the darkness shatters to reveal my normal mindscape.

However, a tall black figure was standing in front of me. His body was hidden in the shadows but I could clearly see that his body was littered with weapons. Ten to be exact. Each one exuding power greater than Simon. The man walking towards me calmly places a hand on my shoulder.

All of my instincts told me to run. I haven’t felt that way… I haven’t felt mortal.. in a very long time. But my body didn’t move, it refused to move. The man raised his other hand and shoved it straight through my chest, causing me to puke up blood. After a few seconds, he pulled it back out and I fell to the floor.

As the man was walking away he said, “You are far too weak.” He sounded slightly disappointed… dissatisfied..

Real-world

Waking up in a cold sweat, I was extremely confused. I shook it off and made my way to the bathroom. Upon entering I stopped and looked at myself in the mirror. “What the hell happened?” I say as I run my finger through my hair. It was no longer spiky like an anime character, but instead, it was just down like a normal person. And another thing is that my broken hollow mask shrunk down and now looked like a thin choker.

Scratching my head I walk into the shower and turn the cold water on. “Hopefully it goes back to normal once I take this shower,” I say to myself as I run my hands through my hair.

While I’m the shower I thought about my waterbending. I had examined the scrolls last night before I went to bed so why not test it out now. I began to go through some of the motions and the shower water began to follow my lead. I realized that waterbending is all about the flow of your body. You have to be like a river, and go with the flow.

After a couple of times trying the basics of the basics, I managed to control a tiny water bubble around the size of my fist.
“It seems that my waterbending is successful, that means that I am now able to use chakra,” I said quietly to myself, as I did a small fist pump when an idea popped into my head. “I don’t know if it’s the same, but here we go! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!” I yelled out weaving hand signs as I said it.

Nothing happened sadly.

After cleaning myself up and drying myself off, I make my way back to the mirror. My hair was still down. It doesn’t really bother me too much though. Since it’s down I styled it in a way that made me look decent. And while I was doing so I was changing the shape of my demon mark to see if I could match it with my hair. Since I was just thinking about Naruto I decided to make a diamond-shaped mark in the center of my forehead and it just looked right.

With that I decide to focus my darkness there, like Tsunade with her chakra. In doing my pitch black eyes reverted to my silver ones that I haven’t seen since I became Zeldris. Because I was changing up my look I kept them as silver instead of black and changed into my yukata, with my zanpakuto hook comfortably on my side.

“Hey what can I say, I’m feelin different today.” I said as I made my way down to the dining hall to get some food.

(3rd POV Ponyville)

In the Carousel Boutique, Rarity was working on a suit by Princess Celestia’s request for one of her guards. His name was Sol Castellio, a small, timid day guard that she often chats with when she has time between court.

Of course the gossip queen herself has heard of the pony from her friends in Chanterlot and she couldn’t help but think about the princess' relationship with the guard. “How scandalous!” She shouted to herself while working. That’s when she heard the bell ring from the front.

“Welcome to Carousel Boutique, where every garment is chic, unique and magnifique~” Rarity said as she paused her work and walked to the front.

Opening the door to the front she spoke, “Hello darling, and what may I do for you today-” she stopped abruptly as she gazed upon one of the handsomest ponies she’s ever seen.

He has the same color fur as Rarity, his mane was a beautiful maroon color and he had crystal clear yellow eyes. “Ah yes, it seems I have came to the right place!” He said in a very chipper tone as he brushed off his coat. He wore a silver trench coat with a white dress shirt under it, and matching silver slacks. Ah he was also a Pegasus with very peculiar wing placement. As Rarity looked over his form she couldn’t help but think of hw this mysterious ponies' wings were not in the middle of his back, but instead were on his waist. Just like Simon.

“Well it seems so!” Rarity replied in snapping out of her trance. “And how may I help you… Mr…?”

“Oh forgive me, my name is Zuriel.” He said with a slight bow.

“Zuriel, what a peculiar name… very unique.” She stuck out her hand which Zuriel grabbed and kissed softly. “A gentleman as well. It is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Rarity.” She also did a courtesy bow. “Now, what can I help you with?”

Zuriel reaches into his coat pocket and grabs a sheet of paper, then hands it to Rarity. “I was wondering if you could make me this. As I’m sure you can see it’s a—” the Pegasus was cut off as the door opened followed up with the bell chiming.

Out from behind the door walked in Zeldris.

(Zeldris POV)

“Well now, I must have come at a bad time.” I said as a make my way in. As I walk in I notice an unfamiliar pony and the strange thing is, is that he had no reaction. Most ponies would have been afraid, disgusted, or confused, however he is none of those. Looking him over I don’t sense any power from him at all which is another strange thing.

“Oh not at all,” Rarity spoke and brought me back to reality. “I was just talking to my new acquaintance here, Mr. Zuriel.” She said as he made a gesture towards the Pegasus. “We were just talking—”

“About a request of mine.” Zuriel cut her off. “Now who might you be?” He said as our eyes met. In his eyes laid the symbol of the goddess clan. But in a blink it vanished. Before I could bring it up Rarity spoke.

“This is Zeldris, who has changed his hairdo… which I am not feeling. Give me one second darling.” She spoke as she walked over towards me. She grabbed my arm a dragged me over to the chair.

“Unhand me woman!” I shouted, to no affect.

15 minutes later

After a while she finally stopped styling my hair until she was satisfied. My hair still wasn’t spiked but instead it was down and she cut it shorter. I actually liked how it looked. Because I changed my hair again I just changed my Desmond mark back to it’s normal sigil and let the darkness envelop my eyes again.

While I was busy looking at myself in Zuriel and Rarity wrapped up their conversation and they said their goodbyes. He walked out of the door and I quickly followed him. “I’ll be right back.” I said as I passed by Rarity.

When I got outside he was standing there with his hands behind his back waiting for me. I went to grab his shoulder but he disappeared before I could touch him.

“Disgusting demon.” He said from behind me. I turned around to see him with a smile on his face looking at me. All of a sudden wings bursted out of his back causing a strong gust of wind in all directions, pushing me back slightly. He now had six wings in total. And he grew to be the size of Celestia. What I saw before was true He had the eye of the goddess clan.

I went to draw my zanpakuto but as soon as I did, I couldn’t believe what I saw. He was holding my hand which held my zanpakuto. Looking down my hand was gone. “Well then.” I spoke softly as I recalled my hand to me.

The angel sighed. “I didn’t want us to meet like this but oh well, I’ll let you off for today as I’m in a particularly good mood.” In less than a second we were face to face. With a sneer he said “Until next time.” He then dissipated before my eyes.

I came to a hard stop causing the wind to blow from behind me. “What the fuck just happend?” I said with a confused look in my face.

Author's Note

Umm I’m back? yay

How do you like Zeldris hair?

Chapter Sixteen: The Sins through the Fog

Why the hell would a member of the goddess clan be at rarity’s little boutique?” I asked myself dumbfounded. “And wait, aren’t I friends with the members of the Goddess clan? Faust herself was the one who brought me to this world… What the fuck is going on…?”

Shaking my head, I resheathed my Zanpakuto. Before walking back into Rarity’s shop I dusted my clothes off. ‘Oh shit I’m so happy I wasn’t wearing my gauntlets. They would have broken during that skirmish.’ I thought as I walked into her boutique. Although Rarity was nowhere to be found. Dispersing my magic throughout her house I found that she was hiding underneath the counter.

“You can come out now, that other guy is gone,” I said causing her to peek her head out from underneath the counter. After a few seconds of silence, she came out fully.

“Um if you don’t mind me asking who exactly was that?” She asked with a shaky voice.

“No clue.” I shrugged my shoulders. “Now as for the reason, I came here… I was hoping you could make me an outfit.” Saying this caused her eyes to light up and all the previous worry disappeared. “Oh, and while you're at it I’d also like some casual clothes too.”

Rarity took out all kinds of things with her magic and with it she took off my clothes leaving me in nothing but boxers. “Umm ok then,” I mumble as she takes my measurements.

After a couple of minutes of her doing her thing she finally finished and when she did her face became fully red.

“Oh dear, please excuse me—”

“It’s fine,” I said looking at my clothes on the floor. I resummoned them on my body, I mean why put them on manually if I can just do that. “Well then I already have what I want in mind, now…” I explained what I wanted to her and she wrote everything down.

“This should be done in a day or two, so swing by then.” She got to work as soon as she finished talking.

“Ok thanks… oh and with this new outfit I was wondering if you by chance know of a good blacksmith who makes armor?” With my new outfit I want some boots and with it some gauntlets that match.

“Hmm I’ll need to ask around but I’ll get back to you, goodbye darling.” She said never to look away from her work.

I teleported to my room and plopped in my bed, falling asleep instantly.

After sleeping a few hours I got up and went to the mirror to look at my new hair. I think it looks really good, just plain. Looking down my broken hollow mask was starting to annoy me, it was just too big and stood out too much.

“It’s time to fix this,” I said as I grabbed the broken mask. I ran magic through it trying to each break it or reshape it. Soon enough it began to glow but it wasn’t enough. So I ran magic and reiatsu through it causing a thick white liquid that was suspended around my neck. Using telepathy I molded slick white horns, based on the ones kijin have, atop my head. And I kept a thin white line barely noticeable around my neck. With that I was happy. Not knowing what to do with the rest of the liquidized hollow mask I coated the back of my zanpakuto with it.

(Zeldris new horns)

“Huh. I didn’t think that would work.” I said as I walked out of the bathroom. “ I guess I look more like a demon now, haha..” I laughed to myself.

I went to my closet to find some other clothes to put on because I didn’t feel like wearing my yukata anymore. That’s when I realized I didn’t have any clothes, which is why I asked Rarity to make me some.

“Wait a sec…” a thought popped in my head. “Can’t I just make clothes? I can try… Greater Create Item!” I just made this spell up. Molding my magic into the shape I want and having the type of material in mind, I created a plain white shirt with some black cargo pants and some black boots. The cool thing is, is that for the shirt and pants I thought of carbon fiber as the material. I don’t know if it will work though. For the boots, they are just normal, but I’ll enchant them later to become more durable.

Putting all of my newly made clothes on I equipped my zanpakuto to my back. “I'd have to say I’m looking pretty fine,” I said, looking in a mirror posing. Well, I didn’t have much time to completely look myself over because a letter materialized in front of me. Opening the letter it read,

Dear Zeldris,

It appears your stunt of dragon-slaying has upset our treaty with the Dragon Lands. I sensed an ancient power has reawakened, and I fear that it may be coming for us. I have summoned the Dragon Lord and his advisors to discuss the future of our and to try to avoid a war. They should arrive within one week’s time.

I believe that it would be best if you were to make an appearance at the conference. That way if all else fails, you will take the blame. I know this sounds quite harsh but I believe in your ability to protect yourself and your followers.

From your princess,

Celestia

“What a way to be nice to your captain…” I said, sighing as I burned the letter. “I’ll just bring Kon over to show the dragons that it was all an illusion,” I said as I got out of bed made my way to the main part of the tower.

I walked down to the common area where I found my mummies going about the tie duties. Some were just enjoying time off and relaxing. Scanning the room I found my assistant head butler Mubby. However just like James he evolved.

He wore a black suit jacket that exposed his bandaged wrapped chest. To match he wore black khakis. He didn’t wear shoes however his feet were bandaged only leaving his toes exposed. Looking at his face I noticed he wore a half-metal mask that covers the left side of his face. He had pale white skin with magenta eyes. He had medium-length dark purple hair, almost black, hair that was swept to the side.

Letting out a whistle I got his attention. “Damn Mubs I’m liking the new look.” I patted his shoulder.

His face turned red and he began scratching the back of his head. “Oh yeah.. thanks, boss. Umm what can I do for you.” He spoke nervously.

“I’m just trying to find Kon, and oh yeah, and is Simon out of the infirmary?”

“To help you with your first inquiry, Kon is out. He told me and James that he will be moving his hoard here which may take a few days.” Mubby said as we began to walk. “And as for Simon he is also with Kon… he made a full recovery yesterday and wanted to help Kon as a thank you.”

We made our way to the... bathroom? I looked at Mubby confused. “Oh.. um... I have to go to the bathroom.” He let out a nervous laugh.

“Ok then. Thanks for the info Mubby, keep up the good work.” With that I left the finger and was walking around the Everfree.

For some reason, I felt attracted to the Everfree today. Like it was calling me. As I was walking a mist began to form in front of me. “Oh, is it time to visit Gar or is he coming to me…” I questioned curiously. “Nah I’ll let him come to me. I wonder what will happen if the mist stays open for too long.” I sat down and began my wait.

(3rd POV)

It didn’t take long for the enormous smiling monster of the Everfree to lumber out of the mists. Though he was accompanied by two others. They soon came to see Zeldris waiting for them. Zeldris in turn looked up to see his old friend, having grown even more since Zeldris last saw him. He also recognized his two creations by their master's side.

“Zeldris,” Gar nodded.

Zeldris was a bit put off. Gar was expressive and he looked a little different this time. The right side of his face sported a then waning crescent moon scar and where his right arm and shoulder met there was another scar. Gar’s power was much greater than the last time the Demon had met his old friend. It was cleared he had been through some form of hell.

“Father,” the angels bowed, showing their creator the proper respect. Zeldris noted that their power too had vastly improved since their creation.

“Rise my angels, there is no need to bow,” Zeldris said as he lent a hand to his creations. They were shocked that he was showing such kindness to them.

“I see that everyone’s power has improved greatly,” Zeldris said, eyeing all of them. “Especially you, my old friend. I see that you have picked up a few scars.” Zeldris motioned to the fresh scars on Gars body.

“Courtesy of a demon fairy goddess hybrid,” Gar said, getting Zeldris’s attention. “Former Queen of the Changelings, Chrysalis. She tried to make a mess of things a little while ago but she was stopped thanks to everyone’s efforts. She still got away, with the help of the goddess clan I want to add.” Gar crossed his arms.

“She also opened a portal to the demon realm to bring out a small army of lesser to mid-tier demons one high tier. A member of the six Knights of Black. Yuki destroyed him,” He motioned to the angel.

“A demon fairy goddess hybrid… that is unheard of.” Zeldris said as he rubbed his chin in thought. “I’ll have to look out for this Chrysalis character In my world. But the goddess clan seems to be a bigger problem in your world than it is mine. Being able to open a portal to the demon realm is quite a problem.” Zeldris looked to his creation. “Yuki, I am proud of you for managing to kill a member of the six knights of black. They are second only to the commandments.” Zeldris gave a nod to his daughter.

“Thank you father,” Yuki smiles. “Though it was to repay my sister for saving me. It handled Adreana’s weapon,” She said with disgust, “Such an act could not go unpunished.”

“You truly are my daughter. And I am also proud of you Adreana, you are also worthy to be called my daughter.” Zeldris said, causing Adreana to smile.

“Thank you father but if I had been more aware and not lost in the sense of my fighting it wouldn’t have been necessary to begin with,” Adreana looked down.

Zeldris then remembered what happened earlier. “I also had a run-in with the goddess clan earlier. A goddess by the name of Zuriel, he was a nuisance.” Zeldris said as he remembered how Zuriel took off his hand. “Oh and Gar do you not have anything to say about me.” Zeldris motioned to his hair and new horns.

“Nice look,” Gar noted. “If the goddesses are able to manifest here then why not in my world,” he looked at his old friend. “I will need to dig deeper into the history of my world. In the meantime, your face has that look that says you need a hand with a few things.”

Zeldris nodded. “Yeah well one of the Sins killed a bunch of ponies when he made his first appearance, so I had to fake kill him in order to Appease the public. That caused the dragons to through a fit so now I’m in a little trouble.” He sighed. “I think that if I bring Kon, that’s the dragon's name, to the conference about my crime then it will all be sorted. Or it could make it worse.” Zeldris said as he crossed his arms in frustration.

“It will definitely make it worse father,” Yuki explains. “Dragons are prideful and stubborn in their ways. I have enough experience from dealing with one of Lord Gar’s students in the past few days. The younger ones are not as thick-headed but they only listen to strength above all else. If you are big then you are strong, logic as the little whelp explained, or that’s how it used to be until the current lord took over in our world.”

“So impress them with my strength or magic. Then I win their friendship, then I tell them the truth.” Zeldris said with a satisfied look on his face.

“Physical strength is better,” Gar corrected. “Dragons do have magic but rarely use it outside of their growth stages as to when they try and grow as much as possible while young. It often coincides with greed growth but is much more controlled and the dragon doesn’t go crazy for shinies.”

“Why can’t I just kill them all, it would make it so much easier.” The demon let out a long sigh.

“The drakes are stubborn but strong,” Gar added. “They would be a better asset in the times to come than a pile of ash that you’d wished you’d have never made.”

“I like the way you think,” Zeldris smirked. “Oh, and speaking of dragons do you know any displaced dragon slayers? I want Kon to learn it, it seems like a good fit for him.” Zeldris asked.

“Only one,” Gar held up a finger. “But you won’t like him.”

“Don’t you fucking say it.” Zeldris facepalmed.

“Fine, I won’t say his name,” Gar shrugs. “But he is my oldest brother. He helped save me from myself Zeldris. I would've been in a coma if it wasn’t for him. If you could get on his good side he is a great Displaced to have in your back pocket. The fact that he is a Void Dweller chrysalis doesn’t hurt either.”

“Yeah I know, it’s just that he makes the Lion sin of pride part of me come out. His strength is overpowering and it really pisses me off.” Zeldris scratched the back of his head. “Wait your brother… will be pissed off if I don’t give you... your grimoire! Aha, I remembered!” Zeldris said excitedly as he pulled out an old book from his inventory. He then tossed it to Gar. “I completely forgot what type of magic it is. Maybe tree magic, yeah that sounds right.” He said with a nod.

“This is just a notebook,” Gar held up the book. “I can sense magic of some kind in it but it seems incomplete somehow. Am I supposed to do something with it?”

“Oh shit. I was supposed to publish it or something. Uhh, wait let me remember.” Zeldris couldn’t remember for the life of him what type of spell Asta told him to use. That’s when he thought of the idea to silently cast Control Amnesia on himself to remember. “I got it. Just write your name on the cover of the book, oh wait we need something to write with. Greater Create Item!” With that, a quill and ink popped into existence. Grabbing Gar’s hand Zeldris cut Gars finger over the ink container causing the blood and ink to mix. Gar’s finger healed almost immediately. “Ok write your name with this.” Zeldris handed Gar the quill and ink.

“Alright then,” Gar said, taking the quill and dipping it in the ink. He opened the book and wrote his name on the cover page. “Now what?” Suddenly black lightning shot from the book onto Gar, “RAAAAAA! MOTHER FUCKER TIS HURST WORSE THAN GETTING HIT WITH THAT DAMN PARTY TANK!”

“Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that there may be some slight pain.” Zeldris laughed, along with his two daughters.

The book slowly morphed into a golden yellow tome with an intricate cover adorned with a four-leaf clover on the back of it. Gar got up and waited for his eyes to realine and once he saw Zeldris bonked him over the head. He then turned to the angels who shut up.

“Let me see,” Gar said as his Grimoire floated up in front of him. “World Tree magic. What the heck kind of magic is world tree magic?” Gar shrugs, grabbing the book and placing it inside a hollow spot on his body. “I’ll figure it out later.”

Zeldris nudged Adreana’s arm to get her attention. “What I told ya. Tree magic.” Zeldris said with a smirk. “Not as cool as my gold magic though.” He patted Yuki on the back.

“You met my older and didn’t tell me,” Gar scowled at the demon and then noticed Zeldris’s glum experience. “How’d that go?”

“Oh, Asta. You know me…” Zeldris started but was cut off.

“He kicked your butt didn’t he…” Gar said flatly.

“Yea- No. I won that fight. He didn’t even stand a chance.” Zeldris said as he crossed his arms with frustration looking off to the side as his cheeks flushed slightly. “He was alright, he was still an asshole like Ed. But he cared for his subjects which I thought was nice.”

“You clearly haven't spoken to Ed about what he does,” Gar blinked. “He runs all of his Equestrian while also teaching at his wife’s school and his own school all at the same time I might add. But I agree, he is an ass. What about him pisses you off so much though?”

“Power. And older siblings exude that older sibling vibe which I hate. I didn’t have the best relationship with my older brother, that demon.” Zeldris shivered at the thought. “He was an abusive maniac who had absolute power over me, and I’m glad he’s dead,” Zeldris said, souring the mood of the conversation.

“I’m sorry to hear that Zeldris but if it helps calm you a bit Ed, or I should say Allen, was never like that,” Gar explained. “Sure we would fight and get on each other’s nerves but I genuinely got along well with my oldest brother. We did grow apart after our parents disowned him,” Zeldris was a little more than taken back by that comment. “But we still spoke every now and then. He came to my world and even pulled me out of myself. I can feel again because he wanted to help me. He told me he wouldn’t always be here be he would be when I most needed him. In my fight with Chrysalis I heard his voice supporting me. I know he has power beyond what we know but he doesn’t flaunt it around like some arrogant bastard even though he acts like one a good bit of the time. You have to realize, there is a reason that drives his actions.”

“Yeah, yeah I understand. I know I shouldn’t judge him based on my past, it’s just…. I don’t like being seen as weak.” Zeldris realizing what he said immediately stopped talking. “I'll be nicer to him the next time I see him, he just riles me up. Makes me feel vulnerable.”

“The man could wipe out an entire reality if he really wanted to more than likely,” Gar nodded. “Scares the hell out of me and I fought him in my mindscape. I fought him cause I need to even though I knew I couldn’t win, I still can’t win,” Gar shrugs. “But he fought me honestly. If you really want to move past yourself then maybe you should face him too.”

“How about we move away from the topic,” Zeldris said, feeling defeated. “How are you and your little lady friend doing? She must love that you reawakened your emotions.”

“We admitted we loved each other and I built her a school,” Gar nodded. “And we’re doing great. Though I seem to have a few other females watching me rather closely too. Mares are crazy,” He huffed. “But what about you? Found a lady yet?”

“I’m not one for love. I really don’t see a need for it. But who knows one day I might meet a certain vampire.” He shrugged. “But besides that, I don’t think about it.” Zeldris looked over to Yuki and Adreana. “I can always make you guys a significant other if you so desire. Just summon me if you ever want me to.”

“Serving Lord Gar is the only thing I have time for,” Yuki smiled.

“No thanks, I just like to pound stuff and a guy would get in the way of that too much,” Adreana played it off.

“You see Gar they get it.” Zeldris said as he motioned to the two.

“I’ve already had this talk with both of them several times,” Gar muttered to Zeldris. “They won’t budge on it. Adreana threw a guy from atop my throne clearing one time. Luckily he was a fairy,” Gar straightened up. “Moving on now. Shall I send these two get your dragon while we see the princesses? I may be a stand-in but I am still a member of the sins and I would like to meet the others.”

“Sure.” Zeldris nodded. “Kon should be at the badlands or on his way to it. Oh and Simon is with him, that’s your older brother.” He said, looking at the two angels. “You want to fly there or take a gate, Gar?”

“I think we should take a gate,” Adreana said. “Conserve energy so we can bust some heads,” she cracked her knuckles.

“Manners,” Yuki scolded her sister. “Does our brother have the Gate skill to father?”

“No, he just has a normal teleportation spell. And I don’t think there will be any action their Adreana. So don’t get your hopes up.” Zeldris said, causing Adreana to deflate.

“I agree with Adreana in that we should take a gate,” Yuki said. “Your timeline is newer than our own so I must inform you that the Badlands is the current home to the changeling race. It is where you will find the queen we spoke of earlier. We will do our best to not draw attention and not cause a fight and fly back as fast as possible.”

“Let’s get things started shall we old friend,” Gar smirked evilly. “Can’t what for them to see me.”

“Celestia is going to freak out.” Zeldris laughed. “Ok now for the gates, Twin Magic: Gate!” Two gates opened up in front of us, one to the throne room and one to the badlands. “Make sure to play nice with your brother, girls,” Zeldris said as he waved by to his daughters. With that, both groups walked into their respective Gates.

Canterlot Castle

Celestia and Luna were both sitting on their thrones, listening to a noble rant about how they should destroy an orphanage so that he could expand his mansion and make a pool. However they were not focused on the conversation, but instead were worrying about what to do with the dragon situation.

“—and that is why, you should support my efforts to destroy an orphanage.” Fat Cheeks concluded his speech with a huff of pride.

Luna’s eye began to twitch. “What is it with you nobles and destroying orphanages?” She said rubbing her temples. “What did those children ever do to you?” Luna questioned genuinely.

Fat Cheeks scoffed. “They exist.”

Before Luna or Celestia could respond they noticed that a gate opened and out of it walked Zeldris and Gar. Both of the sisters' jaws dropped as they saw the thing standing next to Zeldris.

“Allow me,” Gar whispers to Zeldris and he nods with a smirk. Gar stealthily walked up behind the yammering noble idiot.

“And furthermore-” Fat Cheeks yammered until he felt someone breathing on him. “I MUST POINT OUT THAT IS MY TURN!” He yelled out and found himself looking directly at Gar’s stomach. He then was forced to look up.

Gar looked down,” You leave now…” he hissed slowly.

“Ahhh…” Fat Cheeks shorted then his eyes rolled in the back of his head as he fainted.

Zeldris was on the ground laughing. Gar looked back to the demon and couldn’t help but left out a few muffled laughs. Celestia and Luna also started to laugh but quieted down once they realized that Gar was still in the room.

“Guards! Could you remove this noble?” Luna called out while motioning to the fainted Fat Cheeks. “And once you do, you may all take your leave for the evening,” Luna commented at the end. The guards rushed in and quickly fell with the noble on the floor before promptly leaving.

Celestia looked down at between Zeldris and Gar, her royal mask cracking slightly. “Now Zeldris, why have you brought this thing to my throne room?” The sun princess said letting a little bit of venom seep into her tone.

“I will answer that,” Gar interrupted. “I do have a name and you will address me with it. I am Gar, the Smiling Monster of the Everfree Forest and King of the Fairies. I am also Zeldris’s friend,” which caught her attention. “And a stand-in for one of his Sins,” Gar reveals the mar on his neck. “I am the Boar Sin of Gluttony.”

“And with that, you will show him respect,” Zeldris demanded letting his magic run loose in the room. “Celestia learned that if I bring anyone before you to not belittle them. Even if they are demons.” Zeldris said letting up the pressure he put on the room.

“I'm sorry for my sister's rudeness, King Gar.” Luna apologized with a small bow. “I am the Sin of Envy. It is a pleasure to meet another Sin.” Luna said genuinely. Unlike Celestia, Luna is not as hostile to demons

“Just Gar will be fine Princess Luna,” Gar held up a hand. “I am here for Zeldris and to see the look of you two when we came through the Gate. It is a pleasure to meet you as well. I did not get the chance last time I was here but this was still early in my life and was probably for the best,” he gave a slight bow. “Now to business,” He looked to Zeldris who in turn nods.

“Yes, about the dragon incident.” Zeldris started off. Catching the two princesses’ attention. “I have come up with a plan thanks to the help of my friend and daughters. He has told me that Dragons listen to strength above all else. So I believe that with a demonstration of my overwhelming strength I’ll gain their trust, then I’ll tell them that Kon isn’t dead. Making everything ok again.” Zeldris explained to them as if it was the most obvious answer in the world.

Celestia and Luna both looked at each other confused. “That doesn’t sound like it would work at all.” Both said at the same time. “You can try what you are suggesting, you just need to prepare more thoroughly.” Celestia said using a more formal tone.

“They are right my friend,” Gar agreed. “Going in three and giving them a pounding won’t do much but just make them very pissy and then have them coming around for you at random times for challenges.” He explains. “We need a strategy of some sort. I suggest going straight for the Dragon’s throat like any natural predator would,” He chuckled, “DragonLord Torch Himself.”

“That sounds like something I can do,” Zeldris said as he cracked his knuckles.

Celestia immediately shot up. “NO WAY!” She used the royal canterlot voice. “DragonLord Torch is some creature you can never touch. His Magic is unlike anything that I have ever felt. And his fire breath incinerates anything that gets in his way. If you try to go up against him that is suicide.” Celestia warned Zeldris genuinely. She didn’t like the demon but that doesn’t mean she wants him to die.

“I have to agree with my sister,” Luna interjected. “He has a very unique type of magic that makes him a very formidable force. Even a being such as yourself, Zeldris would have a hard time against him.” Luna adds on to her sister's warning.

“I can take him. And I have my Hellblaze, the fire that even burns immortals.” Zeldris said, nodding. He looked over to his friend Gar who just stared at him coldly. “Even with your regained emotions, you still like to just stare.” He said to his friend with a smirk.

Gar turned to the sister, “It’s called Incinerate,” their eyes went wide. “I know many things that not even you two are aware of. One of my friends back home is the current dragonlord, though his mare rules in his stead. He has this ability,” he turned to Zeldris. “It is a unique magic similar in nature to my Disaster that is passed down to the reigning Dragonlord like Disaster is to the current fairy king,” He points at Zeldris and says in a concerned stern tone. “I warn you cause you are my friend and don’t want to see you go into this half-cocked or let your Pride habits run wildly. If you are hit with this flame whatever you lose won’t come back. Not even my super life droplets will help.” Zeldris was a little taken aback for a minute but regained his composure quickly.

“I can handle whatever threat comes my way,” Zeldris said in full seriousness.

“Whatever you say, Captain- '' Celestia said worried before covering her mouth. Luna gave Zeldris a smirk which he returned. “What I meant to say is, that I hope you know what you're doing, Zeldris.” The sun princess said, actually showing concern for Zeldris.

“I have no doubt you can but it never hurts to be prepared my friend,” Gar noted. “Something that will still give you an edge.”

“I take it that you have that something in mind then?” Zeldris smirked while the sisters looked at each other confused.

“Ki,” Gar said bluntly. “I know you have it but haven’t actually done anything with it yet. I have mastered it well enough to teach you all you need to know to get your own style going.”

“I completely let that slip my mind,” Zeldirs held his chin.

“By the time of the conference will both be stronger,” Gar placed a hand on Zeldris’s shoulder and the demon looks at his friend and nods.

Chapter Seventeen: Training and Discussions

A week has gone by since Gar had been in Zeldris’s world. During that time, they did many things. Such as Ki training…

“So how do you wanna do this?” Zeldris questioned Gar as they flew over to an uninhabited part of the Everfree. “You want to have a one-on-one only using Ki. Should we just practice on the undead? Maybe we summon a displaced and use them as a practice dummy.” Zeldris asked as they landed in an open part of the forest.

“Who do you know that will willingly take hits and bounce back from it right away?” Gar asked flatly. “Cause I can think of only a few, two being assholes you’d rather not deal with and the third being busy in some sort of Displaced Tournament according to the older of the other two.”

“There’s a displaced tournament?” Zeldris asked, confused. “Well, whatever. I’m guessing the two assholes are your siblings… wouldn’t mind beating them up.” The demon smirked as he looked at Gar. “I guess that leaves the undead or us clashing.”

“Yea I just had my ass handed to me and nearly died last week,” Gar continued flatly expressionless, “so yea the undead it is. I can only teach you what I’ve figured out myself though. Flight and ki blast or drawing out your power. You don’t really have the physical advantage I have with the zenkai boost and let's face it,” he stared. “You’re never going to get your ass handed to you unless it’s someone stronger than you and even then you’d still refuse that power. I have also figure out ki weapon constructs to a point, like Black’s scythe.”

“Ok, I’ve already figured out Ki blast.” Zeldris demonstrated using a tree as the target. He fired off two blasts in quick succession. “I haven’t touched on flight yet since I have so many other options, but I still need to learn it. And the Ki constructs shouldn’t be too hard to learn.” Zeldris said, looking to the sky in thought. “And wait, are you saying you can pull an elder Namekian and unlock my potential? Wait, was that the elder Namekian or the Kai?” He mumbled the last part quietly.

“It was both actually but what I’m going to do is closer to a Namekian and unclog your energy flows so you run more something, like a car. I can clearly see you’ve mastered blasting shit to pieces,” Gar looked over to the smoking remains of the tree. “But you haven’t mastered ki blast control,” Gar lit his pointer finger, and a small ki ball formed above it. Gar then moved his finger and the ball whizzed all around the area before landing on the stump and blasting the rest to ash. “You waste too much energy on being showy and excess isn’t always the best way. Motor control plays a large part in the construct aspect as well. Instead of controlling the ki away, you maintain its shape near you,” he created a large ki ball then shaped into a sword. “Another thing you must remain aware of is that ki is heavily influenced by emotions. Lose control and the construct may explode and blow off your own hand. Can’t tell you how many times I had to go off and find one of mine or grow a new one.”

“Goddammit. Training is such a hassle.” Zeldris complained as he raised one of his hands pointed towards the open field. “Summon undead 10th tier.” After saying that an army of skeleton knights rose from the ground. Some had horses and others wore robes and had grimoires. “Holy shit I didn’t know what was going to happen but that is a lot.” Zeldris flew up in the air and began to gather large amounts of Ki in his hand. “Hey, Gar! Falcon punch!” He yelled as he dived towards the army making a crater in their forces.

“What did I just say about Ki control?” Gar said flatly as he shook his head.

Coming from out of the small crater Zeldris laughed. “I know but I really wanted to do that.”

“Anyways,” Gar rolled his eyes. “You have just demonstrated a fine aspect of ki nature control,” Zeldris tilts his head. “You changed the nature of you ki to have the effect of fire.” Zeldris raised an eyebrow. “Look, just know that ki is life energy and as energy, it takes on different states and planes and existence. Falcon Punch is a fire-based ki technique while Flight is an air-based ki technique. They will have a similar effect to the elements which they look like. Basically, if you visualize yourself flying while using ki, you’re flying. Ki is all about visualizing what you want to do with it, but its major Achilles heel is that it can easily be turned against its user. Naturally, we’re not immune to our own attacks or having our ki stolen,” Zeldris nods. “That leads me to deflection, shoot me.”

“Gladly,” Zeldris said, not missing a beat. He thought about what Gar said about control, and focused on having more Ki in one blast, then compacting it. Now having a smaller Ki blast he shoots it at Gar. Gar easily deflects it right back to Zeldris, catching the demon off guard. Not having enough time to react, Zeldris gets blasted in the face, knocking him on his ass.

“You dick.” Zeldris said, getting up slowly.

“Deflection, one of our greatest assets,” Gar held up his claw. “We are constantly generating ki and have it on us as a result. Being able to deflect our opponents’ attack is matching our ki energy with them and matching the speed at which they blast us. It's simple but hard. The number of opponents you take on, the kinds of powers they have, etc. Understand so far?”

“Yes I do but I have a question. You know what bleach is correct?” Gar nods. “I was wondering if Ki and Reistu are compatible with each other. Like can we combine them to make a new but similar type of energy? I’m bad at explaining.”

“It is a common mistake that reiatsu and ki are compatible but reiatsu is able to take on more worldly forms such as solid material where ki does not,” Gar answered. “You may be able to combine technique like your cero with the Kamehameha wave but don’t try and force them together lest the clash. At a base level, they are nearly identical but reiatsu is both living and dead compatible where ki is only living compatible or for those who have maintained a physical body after death.”

“Hmmm... I’ll have to touch upon this after I’ve mastered both of them.” Zeldris hummed in thought. “Now back to Ki training. We have to get rid of this army somehow.” He motioned to the still Skeletons.

“Ki beam,” Gar points his finger, and a ki laser fires as he whips his hand across the skeletons destroying them all, “Maintain a constant stream like with a construct but reach out like with fine motor control but less control. Easy enough.”

Zeldris stuck out his hand. He coated it in Ki and constructed a small Ki blade. After swinging it around for a couple of seconds he followed Gar’s instructions and made a Ki beam. Zeldris looked at Gar with a smile on his face.

“Easy enough,” Zeldris said as he shot Gar with the Ki beam.

A day went by with nothing happening,except for more training. So that brings us to the third day Gar has been in Zeldris world. But let’s not focus on the displaced, let’s focus on the Angels...

The two sisters were in the kitchen with the mummy chefs teaching them how to cook, so that they could better satisfy Zeldris. What they didn’t understand was why their father just didn’t make more angel chefs like them.

“I think he made us under circumstances,” Adreana noted. She really didn’t care one way or another.

“He did not his butler once,” Yuki agreed. “For undead, they are rather decent cooks but horrid fighters.”

“Got that right,” Adreana flicked one of the mummies away. “Even if they can’t speak like the others, they should still be more powerful, at least if they want to prepare pops a halfway decent meal.”

“I concur,” Yuki nods. “I wonder how Wazu is doing?”

“Who is Wazu?” Simon asked as he walked into the kitchen accompanied by James.

“Wazu is our brother, big brother,” Yuki explains. “We are triplets. He is currently in the service of Goku Black. Lord Gar,” the sister noticed Simon sneer slightly at the mention of their master’s name, “Transferred control of Wazu to Black not long after our creation. He didn’t see the need for three cooks at the time. Though I am the cook and Adreana is the hunter. We are still more than capable of doing either task, but these are the roles we prefer. Lord Gar saw no need to change this either.”

“Hmph, so three ungrateful children who no longer serve their master.” Both sisters were taken aback by the comment. Adreana released bloodlust at Simon, while Yuki stared him down coldly.

“We were created to sever lord Gar asshole,” Adreana cut in. “The master you serve is our father; it is he who created us and told us our purpose the second we were born. We were created to serve Lord Gar as his personal cooks, so we did and do!”

James got in between them. “Please, he didn’t mean a word he said.” He said to the sisters attempting to calm down the situation. “Simon what the hell is wrong with you!” James whisper yelled at his friend.

“Even if you were created to serve Gar, you should still be loyal to our Master.” Simon spread his wings to look more intimidating. “However, it seems you are more loyal to that thing instead… how could you do that to the being who created you, your father?” As Simon spoke, he grew more upset.

“It is as Adreana said and you so callously pointed out big brother,” Yuki said coldly. “He is not our master but our creator and father. His purpose for us was to serve another master and we do. Lord Gar has been good to us,” Yuki’s gaze narrowed. “He gives us freedom to make choices as we see fit and even trains us to better our power with skills, we never knew we could access. We would gladly fight for father, but we will die for OUR MASTER!”

“If Lord asked me to go to the sack and wait for it, I would do so with pride!” Adreana added with a bit of red in her face.

“Gar, that thing, doesn’t have emotions. How can you care for something that doesn’t have the ability to care for you back?” Simon genuinely questioned.

“You truly think our master doesn’t have emotions,” Yuki raised an eyebrow and scoffed.

“You couldn’t be more wrong about that,” Adreana said insulted. “You haven’t seen what he’s done for the ponies and fairies of our world. He is a teacher.”

“He has saved the lives of many in his time as the Fairy King, and many before even that,” Yuki’s scowl deepens. “He loves one of the princesses and went so far as to build her a school. A place to spread her teachings of friendship. TELLING ME HE DOESN'T FEEL IS MORE THAN AN INSULT BUT AN OUTRAGE!”

Simon took a step back and his gaze softened. “This sounds nothing like the monster who slammed my face into the ground…” He bowed. “I apologize for my behavior; I never knew the kind of being he was.” James fell in line with Simon and bowed.

“Call our master a monster one more time and you will regret it,” Adreana remarks as she’d reached her boiling point.

“You must have met him when his emotions were inhibited,” Yuki scoffed. “If he slammed your head into the ground it must’ve been because he was either defending himself or because you provoked him. Even when his emotions were muted, they were still there but he would still not lash out without a reason,” she crossed her arms. “When he was emotionally stunted, he would always follow logical action above all else, meaning you were the aggressor and you deserved what you got, big brother.”

Simon laughed nervously while scratching the back of his head. “I see that I was in the wrong here… I do hope you can forgive me and act like this never happened.” Simon grabbed both of his sisters and brought them into a hug. “I’m sorry and I hope you still love your big brother, because I love the both of you.”

“Aww!” James commented as he watched on.

“Say anything to anyone and I’ll bury you alive where not even the ponies will find you,” Adreana growled behind the butler with a raised fist as she emitted a red aura of permanent death.

“Adreana enough,” Yuki said curtly, stopping her sister. “We will overlook your adornment behavior this time big brother but don’t let father catch you bad-mouthing his friend like that. He does consider Lord Gar to some sort of degree, then there are our master’s older siblings. They are true monsters, especially the eldest, and if you don’t believe us ask our father about them.”

“Of course, I would never,” Simon said as he grabbed an apple off the counter. “And I’ll keep an eye out for his siblings since you are talking them up so much.”

“They’re no joke,” Adreana says. “We’ve never met the middle but according to our master, his middle brother wields Anti-magic and is a highly-skilled martial artist and blade user. The oldest...”

“We’ve never met him before, but we’ve felt his presence at one point,” Yuki shakes slightly. “That much power in one form, he… is terrifying… to think he can travel across the worlds as well. From what Lord Gar told us father did meet him once.”

“Sounds like a family of monsters…” Simon could feel Adreana start to become hostile again. “I didn’t mean it like that! I wasn’t calling them monsters in that way! But they sound powerful, of course not as strong as Father.” He said with his chest puffed out.

‘Watch what you say about my baby brother from now on…’ Came a deathly voice on the wind.

“I believe we should change the subject now,” Yuki quickly said as a chill ran down everyone’s spines.

“Can you guys make an apple pie?” Simon asked in the spur of the moment, trying to change the topic. “You guys are chefs, right? Let’s see if team twins or team mummies make a better apple pie!” Simon proposed and took a bite of his apple.

“We don’t compete,” Adreana cut that off. “Yuki already has a strawberry pie in the oven for pops anyway.”

“The mummies are rather adept if not plain,” Yuki noted. “Can you not gain skills in this world?”

“Skills?” Simon questioned. “They are mummies made to help out around the tower, they have their limits.”

“I take offense to that.” James quietly said under his breath.

“Maybe you have to have a certain level of intelligence to gain skills,” Adreana thought out loud. “In our world, you can gain powers through combat or doing an action. Usually by going out and experiencing something out of the normal. It doesn’t really matter though, it looks like Master and pops are coming in.”

“It smells great in here,” Zeldris said when he stepped into the room.

“Thank you, father, I am baking you a pie,” Yuki bowed.

“How is the training going?” Adreana asked.

“I’ve done what I can,” Gar motions to Zeldris. “It’s all about practicing the techniques now,” He looked at Zeldris. “You need food and I need food but later there is a matter I must discuss with you about the angels. Something that may provide an edge against our fight against the demons.”

“Alright, we can talk tonight.” Zeldris nodded. Then a smile spread across his face. “But first let’s eat some food from these master chefs!”

“I concur,” Gar marks licking his fangs.

“I’ll go set the table then… come on mummies, we have work to do.” James called out to the staff and quickly set the table.

Later that night

“Now what is it you wanted to discuss?” Zeldris asked as he sat across from Gar.

“It pertains to this,” Gar points to his facial scar. “This part of me bit into Chrysalis and took quite a decent sample of her blood. I didn’t incorporate it into myself due to the goddess part of her biology but that is what I want to discuss. Boosting or ranks, with goddesses.”

“Hmmm, I see.” Zeldris leaned back and crossed his arms. “You want to use her mixed blood dna to draw out the concentrated goddess portion. A brilliant idea.”

“Yes, I want to make a serum that brings out the latent goddess powers of others,” Gar nods. “But this type of serum will only work on being closely related to the goddess clan in biology. The closest currently being the angels. If we can do this, they will become true members of the goddess clan, and totally loyal to us,” Gar scowls. “In that fight with Chrysalis someone interfered with the benign turned to ash, someone with divine powers. It wasn’t the sisters either, but you see why we need this. You are facing the demons, while I… face the goddesses,” He sighs. “Chrysalis DNA isn’t enough though, she is a half goddess, yes but I need at least two other samples that are natural-born goddesses. I have the sisters from my world already due to the battlefield. I just need two more. Do you think you could convince yours?”

“Before I answer that I would like to say that Simon isn’t a member of the goddess clan. I made him a completely unique being.” Zeldris sighed. “And for the sisters, I believe that there will be no problems getting some of their dna. But if this serum works, you’ll have the possibility of becoming part goddess yourself. What I don’t understand is why you haven’t absorbed some of Chrysalis’s DNA already.”

“Think about it Zeldris,” Gar stands up. “Chrysalis in my world is a walking contradiction. She's a demon, fairy, and goddess hybrid. Mixing two things that normal war with each other never ends well outside of a natural birthing process and even then it still has its share of complications,” he points out. “If down artificially before fully understanding it could have dire consequences, especially if done my way. If I try to incorporate her dna into me right now it could be disastrous. I am already part demon and fairy but these actions though introduced artificially, still came around naturally in a way too. Becoming a fairy is only natural if after I received the spear. I was only part demon when I did receive it thus my biology changed to better balance the two due to my parazyte DNA’s adaptability. As far as we know fairy and demon were more compatible than goddess and demon after all in my world there are still technically dark fairies,” he said sitting back down. “My point is it's too high a risk if done outside of a natural process. There are too many variables to consider this early in the experiment, none that don’t justify my own life, the lives of others, or the end game.”

“Ok, I see what you’re saying. But still, all of this is rich coming from the demon, fairy, sayian, human, parazyte hybrid.” Zeldris laughed. “I’ll get your DNA samples in the morning. This is a lot to think about. It could really be a great help in the fight.”

“And these are your children we’re talking about,” Gar adds. “I won’t force any that don’t want this but I still think if we could make this serum we would have an edge, not even the demon king would see,” Gar stands up. “For now though, I will take my leave for the night. The forest calls me,” he says as he walks off.

“Ok Lorax,” Zeldris said as Gar walked away. “And the decision to take the serum is theirs to make. For such a big matter that could completely change their life for the better… or the worst, I’ll let them decide.” The demon got up and made his way to his room.

Part 2 of the crossover... You just gotta love Alvasa!

Chapter Eighteen: Brothers in Arms

“Well then, today is the day…” Zeldris said as he woke up and rolled out of bed. He groaned as he made his way to the bathroom to freshen up. Afterwards, he put on his normal red outfit and went down to the dining hall where he found Gar quickly scarfing down a pile of food.

“Save some for me,” Zeldris said as he took a seat at the table. Soon after, mummies brought out a variety of food for him.

“Wait never mind, I have plenty,” the demon told Gar as he stared at the massive assortment of food in front of him.

“Your world always gives me better skills,” Gar says with a mouthful. “I recently got the Ruler of Gluttony skill. Not sure what all it does but apparently I can regenerate from almost near death if I eat something living.”

“That might be due to the fact that most of my powers come from Overlord, which is based on a game.” Zeldris hummed in thought.

“Possibly but my world grants skills through actions,” Gar adds. “It’s the main reason the angels are no longer just cooks but also hunters and fighters too. Which reminds me, how is the serum progressing?” Gar asks. “I was able to isolate the right genetic codes but beyond that, I can’t do anything else without more samples to finish the serum.”

“Before the Dragons show up I’ll get the DNA from the sisters for you. Also, can you sample Simon's DNA to see if it would help? He is unique but nonetheless an angel.” Zeldris began to dig into his food.

“With his and your permission of course,” Gar nods.

“You best take Gar’s warning about the Incinerate Skill of the dragonlord seriously,” came a man’s voice from across the table. Everyone turned to see Edward crunching on an apple as red as his coat and twice as shiny, “I heard you wanted a favor.” Zeldris turns to Gar scowling, “Don’t be like that, he didn’t even know I was coming. Like I told you last time, I am keeping an eye on you.”

Zeldris let out a sigh, “Hello there, Edward. I told your brother that I would get along better with you, and I will try. But don’t spy on me, you creep,” He said with a glare. “But yes, your help would be appreciated if you are willing to help us,” Zeldris said, trying to be polite.

“Try and stop me from keeping myself entertained," Ed smirks as he nonchalantly finishes his fruit, "And what do you need my help with?” Ed asks, leaning back in his chair. “I don’t mean to be pushy, it’s just I am on a summons right now so not a whole lot of focus is dedicated to this fragment of my at the moment.”

“Gar came up with the idea of making a goddess serum by using the DNA of multiple goddess hybrids. Your help would help us finish up a lot sooner but we can do it on our own if you're so busy.”

“Genetics is still a newer field of study for me, but if I can clone a body for my niece using her adoptive siblings to fill in gaps with the original gene source this would be easy,” Ed says holding up his hand and a silver cloud comes from his arm and forms into a silver orb, “You have to love nanomachines. They’ll format into anything you need and are linked to the void network for info on what’s going on outside your universe. They can also act as a fabrication and material creation unit. I can leave an AI central unit if you want me to so it can act independently should you need it to.”

“I do appreciate it, but I would rather not rely on you unless I have to. You can leave an AI here while you go back to your summons but I will send it with Gar when he goes home.” Zeldris said as he took a bit out of an apple. “Oh, but can the nanomachines do what the nanomachines in the manhwa Nanomachine can?” A sparkle could be seen in his eyes.

“I understand and respect that," Ed shrugs, "These can do whatever you want them to,” Ed says, sticking his finger into the orb causing it to ripple like water. “They just can't generate organic matter outside, say, composite wood or dead wood. They can repair your body but that depends on what you have to spare.” He pulls his finger back and the orb morphs into a mini-Zeldris. “Say hello to chibi-Zeldris, or Zel for short, no pun intended. He’ll follow your order and is still connected to the void net. Another thing you need to know is these Nanites are infused with harmony magic and made of the same stuff my arm is so they’re indestructible, so even from your greater break item abilities. Whenever not in use he’ll float around making materials like Uru, vibranium, etc… You can also carry him inside your body for a quick med kit.”

‘Ok I have to admit, that’s pretty awesome!’ Zeldris thought keeping a straight face. “I may just keep it after all. But we are getting off-topic, can you help us in making the goddess serum?” The demon asked seriously. But before Ed could answer Zeldris called Simon over using Message and asked for a piece of his hair, which Simon gave him. The angel left afterward. “Here you go Gar.” Zeldris sent the hair over with magic. “Simon's race possesses the ability to disrupt the flow of magic with their magic eye, so I wonder if you’ll get that perk.”

“Thank you,” Gar takes the hair and starts to process it. “These abilities will come in most handy.”

“Your serum is done by the way,” Ed points to Zel. On the chibi’s back, there were six vials of glowing white glowing liquid. “I used the blood sample I took from Gar’s world, my wives, and your princess to create it. Use it well. Now I must bid goodbye for now. I need to stop a crazy sonic based Pikachu from hurting his girlfriend. I look forward to seeing your fight with Torch, Zeldris,” He smiles and then fades away.

“Why would I fight Torch? We intend to solve this peacefully..” Zeldris mumbled. He then looked to mini him. “Your name will be Mel for confusion purposes. And make your hair blonde like Meliodas.”

“Name change accepted,” Mel says, changing its hair to blonde. “Ownership acknowledged. Greetings, I am Mel, your personalizable Void net chibi. I look forward to our adventures together lord Zeldris.” It bows. “What are my orders?”

“Go explore or something, I’ll call you back when you are needed,” Zeldris said, shooing Mel away with his hand. “Oh wait, Gar do you need anything?”

“I will leave your serum here then,” Mel says, dropping the vials before floating off.

“No,” Gar says, stuffing his face. “Though what my brother said brings up concerns. A fight with the dragonlord may be unavoidable at this point.”

“No worries, I’ll just nuke him,” Zeldris said with a smile on his face. “But hopefully it doesn’t come to that.”

“Let’s not forget in Overlord, dragons were one of the few things, if not the only race, that Ainz was wary of when he was in the Yggdrasil and the new world. You may have a weakness against them,” Gar voices his concerns, giving Zeldris a point to think over.

“Hmm… you make a fair point,” Zeldris agrees with Gar. “Well then, should we make our way to the castle, or do you want to see if the girls want to take the serum?”

“I’ll wait till we return home and ask them then,” Gar says, taking three of the vials and placing them inside his body. “That way I can be sure it is what they want to do. For now, let us go.”

Before they left Zeldris grabbed the three remaining vials and stuck them on his inventory.

At Canterlot Castle, 30 minutes earlier

While the two displaced were conversing over breakfast, Dragonlord Torch was already at Canterlot Castle.

“It has been some time Celestia! And it's been even longer since I last saw you, Luna!” Torch said in his loud voice. He had to look down to see the two princesses because of his massive ten-foot self. Luna was only 6’9 while Celestia was 7 foot. It was quite intimidating for them, and that’s not even counting how big his Dragon form is.

“Ah yes it is good to see you to Dragon Lord Torch,” Celestia said with a short bow.

“Torch! Did you get bigger in the last millennia? You're massive!” Luna said as she flew up eye level to him.

Luna and Torch were good friends before she got sent to the moon.

“Maybe a little?” The huge dragon said as he scratched his chin. He let out a sigh before becoming more diplomatic. “I wish we were here under better circumstances… but a dragon was murdered in your territory, breaking our 1,000 years of peace. I demand the head of the one who killed my kin or your kingdom will feel my wrath!” Torch bent over to make eye contact with Celestia. After he was done talking a stream of streams blew out of his nose. He was furious.

A few moments went by as Celestia thought over the dragon lord's words. “Surely we can discuss another option of compensation. You know that we do not condone the old ways of the world in Equestria….” Seeing the look in Torch’s eyes made Celestia stop talking. She went to start up again but Luna beat her to it.

“Guards! Leave us!” The guards hesitated for a moment but left. Luna looked at Torch and gave him a nod. Torch picking up on her message sent his guards and advisors away as well. “I will be truthful with you old friend. The one who killed your kin is someone of great power… one that I and my sister struggle to face at times. We have called him here today so that you can cast judgment upon him yourself, but I will let you know that your Kin isn’t truly dead.” Hearing this shocked Torch.

“That is impossible, the head was displayed for all of Canterlot to see! I was given images of the head myself and I can say for certain it was real-” Luna raised her hand stopping his outburst.

“I was not finished talking!” Luna raised her voice and flexed her magic. Celestia was surprised to see her little sister taking control of the situation. However, Torch was having none of it.

Torch flexed his overwhelming magic right back at Luna. His magic enveloped the room which caused the room to rise in temperature. “You may be my friend Luna, but do not push me.” Torch said in a cold voice.

They both stopped their magic.

“As I was saying, the Dragon is alive. And I would like to say that it was that very dragon who started the conflict! He was the one who slaughtered our battalions in the area who went to issue our order for him to leave because he was poisoning the environment.” Torch’s eyes showed shock but soon went back to his cold gaze. “If not for personal reasons which I care not to say, you are lucky WE didn’t declare war on YOU! Zeldris, the one who tamed the dragon and showed that illusion to the public, was the one who satiated the citizens' rage, stopping a petition of war from ever taking place!” Luna was now staring back at Torch with a glare. Celestia was to her side looking up at Torch studying him. “You are the one who should not push ME, Torch.”

The tension in the air was high. Neither side wanted to go to war with each other but both sides were harmed in different ways.

“I see that there was still information I did not know…” Torch spoke as he hummed in thought.

“Why don’t we all settle down and discuss over brunch?” Celestia pitched in.

“That sounds lovely, Celestia.” Torch agreed.

“Very well then.” Luna sighed.

Present time...

Celestia, Luna, and Torch sat on an open hill not too far away from the Castle. They spoke every now and again but mostly just ate in silence thinking over the things that were said.

“Oh yes... by all means give each other the silent treatment,” Said a voice, the trio turns to see a blonde man in a red hooded coat stand not far away sipping on some hot tea. “Because silence between those you consider friends solves so much,” he opens his eyes to reveal amber sclera.

“Who are you?” Celestia asked curiously as she took a sip of her tea, she could tell that he was one of Zeldris's kind, a displaced person. Luna and Torch were also curious about the man's arrival. “And this silence is necessary, as we are collecting our thoughts.”

“I can tell,” he says looking directly at the three rulers, “Cause you all have so much on your minds, and yes I can read your minds but I’m not as that would be very rude,” he sets his teacup in the air and bows, “My name is Edward Elric, and I go be the monicure of the Crimson Sage you may call me Ed. It is nice to meet you. I am afraid I didn’t extend the courteously last time I was in your world, and yes I am a Displaced but know I answer to myself and only myself.”

“You talk too much, boy.” Torch said, looking Ed in the eyes. “Now if you have nothing else to say, leave, we are busy.” Torch made a mental note to ask the princesses what a displaced is after tensions settle down.

“Boy, you call me boy,” Ed glares, “And just how old do you think I am, Torch. I can tell you this, even this copy of me can blast a hole in your head and not even bat an eye. Don’t test me, boy.”

Torch began to laugh. “Did you hear him, Luna? He addressed me without my title! And had the balls to threaten me.” Torch slammed his hand on the table and flexed his magic, “I don’t know who you are, or what ludicrous fantasies you speak of, but if you dare to threaten me again… I will Incinerate you on the spot.” He ended with a glare.

“Go ahead and use your Incinerate skill on me,” Ed smiles with a light-hearted. “I won’t lift a finger to stop you. Just so you two know,” he looks at the sisters. “I am far stronger than you and your captain combined as well as much, much older.”

This immediately puts the two on high alert. Torch senses this from the sisters and decides to settle down some. “That was a wise decision, old friend.” Luna started. “Because if what this Sage says is true then none of us stand a chance.”

“That begs the question, why have you come here?” Celestia asked.

“To make a point known,” Ed holds up a finger, “Don’t fuck with my baby brother or his friends. He may think otherwise but I do hold a good bit of respect for your captain, sins. And if you dare raise a hand to my brother or Zeldris,” he unleashes massive waves of power and magic along with a cold-blooded killing intent. “I will come after you and neither your souls nor corpses will be left behind. Understand?”

After facing the overwhelming power that Ed displayed, all three nodded their heads.

“Good, now I have other business to attend to,” a portal opens behind the sage. “Just so you know, only the more powerful members of the displaced can freely travel to other universes. You’d be wise to remember that as Zeldris ages and grows stronger. Have a good day rulers of this world,” he says coldly walking into the portal and it closes.

“You two, I need you to tell me more about displaced and whatever these Sins are. Immediately.” Torch said in a deadly serious tone.

“Well… umm…”

A few minutes of explaining later…

“Do you two realize how much of a threat this is to our kingdoms?! No! How much of a threat this is to our world!?!” Torch practically shouted in the two princesses' faces.

Before the princess could respond, they saw a figure out in the distance. Soon it was clear enough to make out. Gar was flying their way with Zeldris on his back. The two landed and Zeldris walked down off of Gars tail to the ground.

“Is this Torch?” Zeldris asked as he looked at Gar.

“Matches his description from what Spike has told me,” Gar notes. “My older brother has been here too. I smell his power over everything.”

“That must be the source of this magic lingering around… I wonder why he showed up here?” He looked at the princesses. “Did a lanky-looking blonde guy show up here?” Zeldris asked as he crossed his arms.

He got nods as a response.

Torch turned around to see a short demon and a monster that was taller than him. However, he immediately sensed that these two were demons and prepared to fight them.

“Wait, Torch! Those are the two displaced that we told you about!” Luna yelled and ran up to the dragon.

“You never told me they were demons! Demons are our number one enemy Luna!” Torch said in response, raising his magic higher. Luna flinched at his words.

“Demon he says, technically I am a parasyte with demon, fairy, and saiyan attributes and appendages,” Gar says flatly, swishing his tail. “Just so you know, I am also one of the sins, though a stand-in in actuality, I am the reigning fairy king as well.”

Torch was caught off guard. In the far past, the fairies and dragons stood side by side. Their people were one in the same. Until one day all of the fairies vanished from the world. “How is a monster like you the Fairy King?”

“I wield the spirit spear Basquias,” Gar scowls as the spear forms from the thorns around his neck. “That is how. I guard the forest from atop the sacred tree. I watch over the fairies born in my forest. Do not question how I am the king, I just am,” he glowers at the dragonlord with disdain.

“Your people, the fairies, were close allies with my ancestors.” Torch said as he shook his head. “It is a shame that I will have to kill you here… I cannot let a demon rule the fairies! I don’t care what that amber-eyed man says!”

“So he issued a threat,” Gar notes. “You would be wise to heed my older brother's warning dragon lord Torch. I have no quarrel with you or your kind in this world nor do I wish to start one. I am only here to support my friend,” he motioned to Zeldris. “But if you do intend to fight me, know I am not an easy opponent to take down,” his eyes narrow as he flexes his killing intent and bloodlust. “I don’t like to fight like many of my kind, I only do it when I must.”

“Torch please calm down, let us continue our discussions! Let’s not resort to violence,” Celestia pleads with Torch.

She doesn’t want one of Luna’s oldest friends to get hurt, or worse, killed.

Torch looked down at Zeldris who was standing there with an impatient look on his face. He then looks back at Gar. Judging that Zeldris is the weaker one, Torch catches Zeldris off guard and kicks him.

“What the f—” is all Zeldris can say before he gets sent flying. Gar shook his head.

Rushing to where Zeldris is, Torch's wings appear on his back to boost his speed. Zeldris, perfectly fine, gets up from off the ground with an annoyed look on his face. “Stupid ass motherfucker kicking me like that.” He sees the dragon charging him, so Zeldris does the same. They clash, sending a small shockwave throughout the area.

“So that tiny fists of yours can actually punch?” Torch says with a smile on his face.

Zeldris's expression never changes from being annoyed responds, “Shut up.”

The two jump back and start charging up their attacks. Torch goes for a breath attack so Zeldris does the same.

“Burn to ashes!” Torch yelled as a stream of fire exploded from his mouth.

“Cero!” A crimson energy beam comes from Zeldris's mouth and counters Torches fire.

The demon uses Soru to appear in front of Torch’s face and slaps him to the ground. While Torch is still on the ground Zeldris slams into his stomach with his knee. Torch however reverted into a half-dragon state. His scales took the impact from Zeldris's knee attack. The demon hopped off of Torch and studied him.

Now Torch had two big horns on the sides of his head, and scales littered across his body. He also spotted a tail that had a sharp end, looking to be made for piercing. His hands and feet now were fully covered in scales and had claws extended from them

“Round two!” Torch yelled as shooting fire at Zeldris. Stepping to the side the fire missed him. However, the fireball turned around and hit Zeldris in the back.

“Hraaa...” Zeldris let out a sigh. The wound heals immediately but his homemade shirt now has a big hole in the back. Slightly pissed off, Zeldris kicked the ground. “I just made this shit.. I don't feel like wasting time on you anymore.” Teleporting next to Torch’s head Zeldris delivers a kick sending the dragon flying. “I’m tagging out Gar, he ruined my mood. Have fun.” The demon teleported back to the table the princesses were at. He made a new shirt and put it on.

Gar quickly flies in and spins his spear with one hand, “With pleasure,” he smiles looking at the dragonlord. “My oldest brother warned you, and you chose not to heed him but I think he already knew that you wouldn’t listen,” he shakes his head. “Well, let's start things off right then. I am Gar, The Fairy King, Smiling Monster of the Everfree, and Stand-in Boar Sin of Gluttony, I look forward to this match.”

Torch stared at the hybrid in front of him. He doesn’t know if he’ll be able to win this fight. He underestimated the smaller demon.. a mistake he won’t be making with this one. Especially with the information that this demon is the brother of the amber eyed being.

“I am Torch, the ruler of all dragons. The Dragon Lord.” The dragon lord began to grow in size until he towered over Gar. As he grew he began to take on more Draconic features. Scales began to form all over his body forming a type of armor. “I will Incinerate you and all of your kind.” He said in a low voice looking down at Gar.

“You’re more than welcome to start Dragonlord,” Gar motions with his clawed hand. “I was never one for fighting when I was younger but since my revival, I've taken somewhat of a liking to it, but don’t take that as I spread violence unnecessarily mind you. I'll give you the opening move,” he says as his eyes grow stern but continues to smile, throwing Torch for a bit of a loop.

“As you wish.” Torch said ignoring the ignorance of his foe. If the hybrid monster wanted to give him the advantage then who cares.

Torch knelt down and put his hands on the ground. They began to glow red, as did the ground. “Volcanic Eruption!” The dragon king yelled out when the ground under Gar exploded into a magma stream shooting into the sky. Seeing this as a chance, Torch began to prepare for a breath attack.

“So,” Gar looks around with intrigue, “You can cast an area effect to alter terra around you. I’d expect nothing less than this from the current Dragonlord,” he smiles wickedly, “My turn,” Gar extends his arms, “Grand Forest of the Elements!” Suddenly from the ground erupt several trees but there make was of a wide array of elements ranging from ice to steel, the didn't show any signs of stress for the dragon lords lava either.

Seeing the incoming attack Torch released the built-up fire breath towards it. He managed to negate some of the attacks but a lot of it went through and hit him head-on.

“You bastard!” Torch yelled out. The elements didn't pierce Torch’s thick scales but they still caused damage. Torch grabbed a piece of steel off the ground and charged at Gar with it, acting like it was a sword.

“Kaioken,” Gar says as a red aura quickie covers him and he quickly lands an uppercut on Torsh’s jaw sending him back, Gar looks at the dragonlord, “Black Breath!” Gar spews a solid Black Hellflare spews from his mouth on the dragon lord destroying the steel in his hand and part of his clothing.

Torch grabbed his jaw, feeling that the scales were cracked. ‘This hybrid packs a punch.’ He thought as he ripped off the remains of his clothing, his scales covering his entire body. Out of Torch's wings, spikes grew, and his tail got sharper. He launched the spikes from his wingtips and followed after them. Gar blocked the spikes with little effort, but as he was doing so Torch stabbed him with his tail.

“Seems I underestimated you,” Gar morphs his body around to face Torch, also shocking the dragon. “I simple Kaioken is not enough,” Gar takes hold of Torch’s tail and spins before throwing him off. The wound quickly healing, “Let me show you my battle from RAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Gar roars and this time a golden aura envelops him as his eyes turn into a cerulean with golden spiked hair. Purple lightning randomly coming from his body, “Multiple,” he says and his spears separates into several short swords, “I will show you not to mock me or the fairies, Dynamic Thrust,” the sword blade all glow red, “Dynamic Assault!” Gar throws his hand forward and the swords all rush the dragon lord at once.

Having little to no time to react, Torch’s body began to glow a bright red making the earth melt beneath him. As the swords got closer to him, his body sank into the ground. However, he wasn’t able to dodge them all. His right horn was blown off and he suffered a blow to his right eye, rendering him blind in it. He made it into the ground, but Gar could hear what he was doing. Torch was swimming over to Gar, as the ground turned to magma when he touched it.

Torch, thinking he had the upper hand, grabbed Gar’s leg and dragged him down into the magma pool.

“It burns!” Gar cries out, “IT BURNS!” Torch smirks, “IT keheehe ahaahahahaHAHAHAAA! JUST KIDDING!” Torch then realizes he just stepped in it, big time, “Absolute Zero,” Gar smiles as his body chills to the point the even the magma instantly starts to freeze. The Dragonlord quickly releases the Fairy King and flies into the sky.

The fairy King then digs his way out of the frozen ground, his ability to change elements even starts to surprise Zeldris as the Demon Lord smiles at the battle noting his friend’s vastly improved strength since the last time they met.

“Tell me Dragon Lord,” Gar looks up, “Are you satisfied or do you still wish to not heed the warning you were so politely given?”

As Torch looked down at Gar his face contorted into one of anger. “Are you mocking me… the Dragon Lord!” He descends to the ground a few yards away from Gar. Smoke starts to come out of his nose and mouth. “I could have incinerated you at any point in time, hybrid! DO NOT TELL ME TO HEED YOUR WARNINGS! INCINERATION CLAWS!” Torch’s claws lit on fire that and he swiped at Gar, sending the fire claws through the air at Gar, making a wave of fire blocking Gar’s vision.

“You think to block the eyes on my face will blind me HAHAHAAHAHA!” Gar reels back in laughter as eyes come randomly out of him, “I can generate any organ I need as need anywhere on my body you idiot!” Bloodlust overflows from the Fairy King, Throwing the fire from his face Gar class at the Dragonlord, “You were warned by my brother, by the princesses, by Zeldris, and by me! I AM DONE BEING NICE!”

Gar roars as a golden aura erupts from his and the field is wiped clean. Gar swipes his hand across in front of him creating several ki blasts that fire on Torch. The dragon is fast but not fast enough to dodge all of them as he soars through the air.

“Right here!” Torch hears and looks to see Gar next to him as he lands a sucker punch to the face sending him down into the ground. Gar rockets down slamming his feet into the lord’s stomach. He holds his right hand up and covers it in the Yggdra Armor then slams it into the ground next to Torch’s head, Gar bends down, “You lose.”

Torch’s wounds burn as he looks up to Gar. “No no no no no… I am the dragon lord… the strongest of the dragons.” He mumbles to himself. Gar looks down at him, his emotionless face making torch even angrier. As torch talked a white glow was forming in the back of his throat, Gar didn’t pay it any mind, he thought it was a last-ditch attack that Torch was going to try.

“I’ll show you… WHY I WAS NAMED THE DRAGONLORD!” A sense of dread washed over all of the people present. “INCINERATE!” A pure white stream of fire shot at Gar. At this point, Gar was already trying to escape Torch’s blast, but he didn’t act quick enough.

“GAR!” Zeldris appeared and pushed gar out of the way. And in the process losing his left arm.

Torch got up and looked on with a face of pure joy. “Hahahahaha! Look at you pathetic demons!”

“Zeldris!” Gar splits his form one going after Torch, immobilizing him via contorting around the lord's body with black flaming teeth at his throat, “Doing something you’ll regret, I welcome it, bastard!”

Zeldris tried to recall his arm to him, but nothing came back to him. Torch’s Incinerate, utterly destroys anything it touches. This caused him to realize that his arm was gone, for good. ”MY ARM!”

The other Gar rushes to Zeldris's side as the demon lord writhes out in pain, “THIS WILL HURT!”

“DO IT ALREADY!” Zeldris yelled out. His anger starting to overflow.

Gar nods and holds up his right arm and cuts the still flame piece of what remains of his friend’s arm off. ‘There's only one way to do this,” Gar thinks, ‘I have to merge with him and give him a piece of my own flesh to replace his last arm.’ Gar’s arm morph into several small toothed tendrils that Quickly dig into Zeldris’s flesh causing even more excruciating pain.

Gar does his best to take a small piece of Zeldris’s flesh and absorb then only into his arm, “Regulating blood flow, “ Gar says as he feels a surge then, “GRAAAAA!” Pain shoots through his own body as he shares Zeldris’s sense for a moment and then he is thrown back by a surge of white energy.

“I did what I could,” Gar huffs as the screaming dies down and the twins help their master to his feet.

“Did it work?” Yuki asks.

“Ask him yourself,” Gar huffs, “Never that I could transplant a piece of myself onto someone else, Now we know your summoning works too.”

“Easy there,” Adreana says comforting her master. “Splitting into so quickly and then the operation left ya a bit winded.”

“Gar, what did you do to my arm,” Zeldris looks down at his newly attached left arm.

“That bastard Torch.” The demon lord says coldly as the sky darkens above them.

Black lightning bolts of pure darkness rain down all around them. In his anger, he created a storm of darkness.

“Sorry, but there was no saving your old arm,” Gar explains, “That’s what his skill does. It destroys anything the flames touch. So I gave you a bit of myself to make up for that loss.”

Zeldris looks over his new hand and then over examining the other side. He stares at the back of his hand that seemed to have some sort of gold ornamentations that were on his knuckle; lines that ran along the back of his finger with a red gem in the center along with two golden spikes at the base of his wrist. Suddenly, a large red-eye opens replacing the gem allowing the demon lord to look back at himself. Zeldris smirks and closes the eye and lets his hand fall back to his side.

“It can do everything I can, just on a smaller scale,” Gar cackles at it and then notices something. “Is it getting darker?” Just then the sister teleport in.

“Whichever one of you is making it rain down Darkness, stop at once! You are causing the destruction of my pony's homes.” Celestia starts to speak before Luna could.

Zeldris realized what he was doing and the darkness and clouds cleared up, but the sky was still dark. He looked at the two sisters. “That isn’t my power anymore.”

Gar looks to the sky, “It’s an eclipse, a solar eclipse.” Gar turns his attention back to the sisters, “You two are the only ones with these magical affinities. Zeldris is strong but he can’t cause a solar eclipse without blackening the sky out. This is your doing, not ours.”

Celestia looked at Luna who only shook her head in response. “You are wrong, neither of us are the ones making this eclipse. We can't move either the sun or the moon from their current positions,” Celestia said back to Gar.

“What my sister says is true. When I saw the eclipse I tried to move the moon back but quickly found it to be firmly anchored in place by a much stronger lunar magic. Much stronger than either myself or my sister possess,” Luna explains to her captain and fellow sins.

Gar’s attention then fell to Torch, “What have you done?”

Torch only looked at the two demons with hate in his eyes. That’s when a wave of magic washed over them.

“You feel it too, don't you Gar… this magic.” Zeldris looked up to his friend. His own magic flaring up.

Gar turns his attention back to the sky as red electricity starts to spark in front of the eclipse far above the group high in the skies, “This power,” he starts to shake, “He can’t be…. Is he really this strong?”

"I have a feeling he still holding a lot back," Zeldris says clearly disheveled by this new presence high in the skies above the group.

The red electricity then from a gate then solidifies into a large white blank door. The doors fling open to reveal a vast blackness that can swallow even the brightest of lights. Slowly, a large ball drops from the gate before the gate closes and vanishes.

“What is that thing?” Yuki asks as she shakes in fear.

“That thing is bad news,” Adreana grits her teeth as she tries to keep calm.

“He.. is pissed,” Zeldris says as he turns to look at the two angels.

Two things unfold from the sphere to reveal silver that then unfolds to reveal they are silver feathered wings with the first being draconic-like wings. Four arms make themselves known, folded by two legs and a long tail. The light reflects to show red twisted metal and bone as the finger left its head to show a skull head with a large maw of teeth, twin small horns, and a singular cold blue and pink eye a gaping hole in the middle of the throat. On the chest, something doesn't reveal a large slanted golden eye with a ripple pattern with Tomo on the line and the ouroboros in the center for a pupil.

The figure then let out a noise in the voices of many,

“TOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”

Torch looked up nervously. “Disgusting demon.” He said with fear and hate present in his eyes.

Zeldris looked at Gar. “I didn’t know he could transform into that... Did you?”

“I…. Had no idea,” Gar gulps hard.

Suddenly the creature disappears only to instantly be in front of everyone, or more accurately, towering over them dwarfing even Canterlot’s attached mountain. Upon getting close up everyone could see thousands upon thousands of eyes, mouths, and hands making up the creature's form. Zeldris reached out with his senses and a shiver ran down his spine, the creature's body was made of still-living souls.

“Gar get your other self off of Torch quickly! We don’t know what your brother is going to do!” Zeldris quickly said to Gar.

Gar quickly complied, releasing the dragon lord and merging back into his original form. Just as one of the creature's hands reaches out and picks up Torched with a forefinger and thumb lifting him up to the monster's eye.

The eye stares into the shaking lord, “I WARNED YOU DIDN’T I!” It bellows, “I warned you not to challenge them and you still did! Now, you shall pay!” The beast opens its bout and several shadow hands slowly come for Torch.

“A demon like you can never order me, THE DRAGONLORD around! INCINERATE!” Torch fires off another incinerate flame at the huge monster in front of him. “DIE YOU MONSTER!” He spoke through his flames.

“PATHETIC LIZARD!” The beast roars, blowing out the flames like a candle. “You are not fit to be dragonlord anymore. I will consume your soul as punishment for taking my little brother's arm!” Torch’s eyes shrank, “Who do you think you are to order me around!? I can walk between the universes with ease, even this eclipse is nothing for me to do! I sent a fragment of myself before to speak with you but now you have my FULL ATTENTION!”

Torch looks down at the two demons he fought previously in horror. Zeldris was rubbing his new arm as he looked up at Ed. And Gar looked up at his big brother with a small smile. Then he looked back to the monster that was holding him. “Those are your siblings?!” Torch yelled out in confusion. “I see the resemblance now, how all three of you are pathetic demons!” Torch could barely spit out the words because of how bad his body was trembling from fear. ‘I’m sorry Ember..’ he thought with regret. ‘If only I didn’t let my pride and anger get to me.’

Ed throws the lord up and then grabs hold with a clenched fist. He squeezed, “Shut your pathetic mouth lizard!” Torch can’t even speak, “They didn't start anything, you DID! It is you and the ilk like you that can’t accept the fact that on both sides there are good and evil! You being the latter,” he slams Torch into the ground, “Your daughter will make a better lord than you…” the shadows spread over Torch, “I will leave nothing of you behind, not even bone!” He glares, “YOUR SOUL WILL MAKE A NICE WEAPON FOR ZELDRIS TO USE IN THE COMING FIGHTS!”

Zeldris appeared next to the dying dragon lord. He placed his right arm over Torch’s face and took out his soul. “Are you sure you don’t want to keep this for yourself?” He questioned looking at Ed.

“A puppet would be the better choice in my book,” Gar adds as a tendril shoots out gathering up a large quantity of Torch’s spilled blood.

“I am fed by a never-ending wellspring of souls little brother,” Ed says as Zeldris eyes widen, “One more dragon makes no difference to me, though choose your next move carefully Zeldris. There is no stopping the war with the dragons now. Torch already sealed that fate when he attacked you.”

Zeldris looked between his two brothers. “I understand the point in keeping a puppet but,” a wicked smile appeared on Zeldris's face. “Who needs a puppet when you are going to war? The dragons started something that they can’t win, and I plan to exterminate them.”

“No,” Gar interrupts, “Subjugate them Zeldris. We’ll need as many forces on our side as we can get. They will make a great addition to your forces, willing or otherwise.”

Zeldris thought about what Gar said before speaking. “I will give them a chance. But those who decide to not take my offer will die. I will need to speak to the next Dragonlord to see how things turn out.”

“When you do show her this,” Ed drops a crystal from his body. “It is a recording of the fight with Gar. Also, take one of his horns after Gar costumes the rest of the body, that way there's something left to honor in his tomb in the Dragonlands. The dragons will accept his defeat and his choice to attack starting the war. His daughter is names Ember and though she will harbor no wish for war she will carry out her father's last wish.”

Zeldris nodded and broke off the remaining horn that torch had, he planned to hand it to Ember personally. “Gar, can I extract his DNA since I have this arm?” He asked, thinking about taking the power of Incinerate for himself.

“You will gain some of his powers but not all of them,” Gar explains. “Incinerate is a skill that all dragons have so that is a given. Be Careful with what you absorb though as it can affect you in adverse ways, like that of goddess flesh.”

“I must take my leave little brothers,” Ed says as he looks at the cowering princesses, “Do forgive the intrusion. The sun and moon are yours again. Don’t fear to call me,” he says to Zeldris as he turns to ash to be blown away in the wind.

“Remind me to never piss him off,” Adreana says.

Zeldris placed his left hand on Torch’s head and absorbed some of his blood. Soon a fiery sensation spread throughout his body. He grabbed his chest in pain and then ate the soul that was still in his hand. The pain died down and Zeldris looked at Gar in confusion. “Do you feel pain like this when you absorb something?”

“Whenever I have a permanent integration, yes,” Gar nods. “Whenever I use magic, no. You won’t get used to either.”

Looking at his arm he looked back to Gar. “Will your body be ok? I am the son of the demon king, one of the strongest demons there is. Your body might experience some negative effects from the darkness you absorbed.” As his eyes left Gar they landed on his hollow hole. “And I am part Arrancar. So expect a new source of energy.”

“I expect something will happen over the coming days,” Gar sighs, “But I plan to take it easy for a while. I have young minds to teach back home. Be Careful with that arm though,” Gar points, “You can regenerate it if you consume enough living or fresh flesh, plant or animal will work either way,” Zeldris nods, “I believe it is time for me to go. He stands up and the sisters are at his sides. “I wish you luck Zeldris, goodbye for now, brother,” he raised his right fist.

Zeldris looks to his old friend, his brother, and walks over, extending his fist. Which Gar readily returned. “It was good to see you, take care, brother.” He then looks at the angel sisters. “I’ll tell Simon that you two said bye.”

“Thank you father,” Yuki bows.

“Yea, thanks pops,” Adreana snickers.

“To the forest,” Gar points up and he summons his spear and the trio takes flight and soon disappears into the sky.

“Brothers huh… I wonder how Damien is doing.” Zeldris said lost in thought as he looked at his new family leaving.

Author's Note

This is finally done! I had so much fun writing this with Alvasa. This chapter made Zeldris an official member of Gar’s family!

How do y’all feel about Zel’s new arm 👀

Dragon war arc coming soon…?

Chapter Five: The Smiling Monster

At the same time as in the
previous chapter

Appearing on the edge of the forest I made wings out of my darkness, while Simon spread wings. Flapping my wings I launch into the air with Simon right behind me. Floating in the air I look back at Simon to see him looking at me with a smile on his face.

"Keep a lookout for a spot to build our new home. Also, you can speak your mind around me. You are my creation so I value your opinion." His smile only grew wider once I said that and nodded in response.

We started to fly over the forest, and I have to say I saw a lot of weird creatures. However when I tried to land to get a closer look they only ran away in fear. I assume we are in the middle of the forest because I can’t see any more trees past a certain point looking forward. However, I do see a castle that looks abandoned but I'm not entirely sure. I raise my hand up to signal Simon to stop so we can look around to see if we can find any sentient life. As we were looking I heard rustling which is nothing new. Probably just an animal running away.

'Wait it just happened again,' in the same spot. Looking down I see a Zebra looking up at us.

"What are you looking at, zebra?" it wasn't meant to be threatening, just a simple question. I don't think the zebra thought of it as just a question... She got her knees and started spouting gibberish. looking at Simon he said, "She is speaking Zebrican."

Letting out a small 'ah' I flew down to the ground to land. Once I land she looks up at me with shock, fear and I think respect. "Why are you on the ground? Get up."

"O powerful God, what have you come here for?" judging by the voice and body structure it's safe to say it's a girl. She spoke in a whisper tone, I heard her perfectly because of my hearing though.

"I want you to tell me if that castle is abandoned." I tried to say this gently but I don't believe I succeeded in doing so.

"YES," she responded in a hurry while yelling. "That is the castle of two sisters, it is no longer inhabited."

"I appreciate your honesty.” With that said I flew to the castle with Simon right behind me.

Once we made it to the castle we flew above to get a better view of it. The throne room was visible from the giant hole on the roof. The castle itself was a mess. You could see holes everywhere you looked, nature ran rampant all over it, the castle looked as if it could have fallen apart at any moment.

“Look around for anything that might be valuable. Once you finish checking around, meet back up here.” I ordered Simon as we flew down from the opening in the roof, into the throne room. Simon took the side that had the symbol of the sun. So I took the side that had the moon.

So far I haven’t found anything that is worth mentioning, except for strawberries. There’s only one room left which I presume is the bedroom. Opening the door I was greeted with a giant bed. It was midnight blue and in the middle of it was a crescent moon. The bed looked brand new unlike the rest of the room which looked like the rest of the castle.

Searching the room I found a pile of gold coins, under the bed, that looks different from the ones I found in the dog cave. Putting it in my inventory I continued to look around.

Across from the bed, there was a small bookshelf. On top of it to the right, there was an old telescope that looked like it belonged on a pirate ship. A globe on the left, and a Scale of justice in the middle. The scale had a metal sun and moon that was in perfect balance.

Picking up a book it fell apart. Trying again I got the same result. Sighing I start to walk to the door only to stop. Turning back to the telescope I use Detect Magic. The magic radiating off of it was faint but I could still feel it. Curious I walked back to the bookshelf and picked up the telescope.

'I am Gar, seek me if you require aid or counsel.'

Tell you what, I was not expecting to hear a voice. Putting the telescope in my inventory I make my way back to the throne room to see Simon waiting for me.

“Did you find anything useful?” I question, hoping for good news.

“I couldn’t find anything of value. Everything in here is over thousands of years old.” He said with a neutral face. But he sounded disappointed going off the tone of his voice.

“It’s fine. I found some gold coins that are different from before and a telescope.” He just raises a brow in confusion as to why I would bring a telescope back. “Stand back in case this ‘Gar’ is foolish enough to attack us.” Warning Simon only confuses him more, which amused me slightly. He revealed his wings and got behind me, doing as I said.

“Gar, come here.”

Suddenly, some form of swirling black vortex opens up and I sense something coming through it. I stare at the portal until I see a figure emerge from it, once it was through the vortex collapsed on itself and I had a pony standing in front of me, another zebra in fact. He was wearing an outfit of what looked like some form of scale leather. It consisted of a buttoned vest, pants, and a wide-brim hat.

“Are you Gar?” I asked not wanting to stall as I kept my hand on my sword.

“Yes, are you the one who found the telescope?” He said in an emotionless tone.

“Yea, what is that thing?” I asked curiously.

“My token,” He said bluntly. “All Displaced have them. It is how we are summoned to new worlds by others like us. I don’t know more than that as it was only explained briefly to me in a letter from my older brothers.”

“Older brother huh,” I muttered. “So how does one become displaced, and what exactly do we do now?” I ask curiously.

“Brothers, I have two,” Gar kept up his emotionless stare. “And we either buy an item from someone that sends us across the multiverse or are sent by some greatly powerful thing.” He kept staring at me. “As far as what we do I don’t know. This is the first time I’ve been summoned.”

“I also have two brothers, one that is insane. He’s dead luckily.” Noticing I let out a little bloodlust I quickly got it under control. “The other is just like you, emotionless.” Simon stepped forward after I finished talking. I could tell, he was angry.

“You have nerves staring at my father's like that. I’ll give you three seconds to stop, or I will make you. ” He said in a low, threatening tone.

“Hush child,” Gar finally moved his gaze to Simon and I felt him release his own bloodlust, though more controlled and primal. “The adults are speaking.”

Simon didn’t hesitate and shot at Gar but he moved out of the way above and behind Simon. I saw it happen clear as day but to Simon, it was as if Gar vanished. I saw the newcomer’s arm shift revealing muscle fiber and his hand became metal claws.

(Gar's arm looked like this without the eyes)

Gar then slammed his hand into the back of Simon’s head and his face into the stone floor, forming a small indent to form. He easily held Simon while still keeping his emotionless expression.

He then turned to me, “Why must children jump the gun?” He said as he got up and made his way back towards me.

Unknown to Gar, Simon got up dazed. He had blood dripping from his mouth along with small cuts all over his face. He then raised his arm and brought his other hand up to brace it. The air around Simon started to become distorted, he then yelled “Black Lightning!” The lightning struck Gar and her turned around merely as if weren't even a tickle.

Gar looked back to Simon, never showing emotions, and slammed his head back into the ground creating a small spider web crack this time.

“Be quiet,” He demanded, showing a little sign of annoyance. “Now back to you,” He looked at me. “You look like a character from the anime Seven Deadly Sins but different. Are you a side character or a look-alike? Maybe some kind of relation to Melodias? I never actually got past the first arc.”

Walking past him I knelt down to where Simon was and cast 'Heal'. He fluttered awake and we locked eyes. “Never do that again. I can protect myself, but after this is all over we are training.” I say in a soft voice. “Rest now.” He then fell back to sleep.

Looking back to Gar I let my bloodlust run loose mixed with despair aura and looked him in the eyes. “I am Zeldris, Lion Sin of Pride. The one true Overlord,” I could see his mask crack didn't even under my pressure this guy had guts and I liked it. “You will never touch my family again if you do… You die.”

“I will not hesitate to defend myself when threatened,” He said flatly. “So you also have the Overload’s power set and probably a few others. As for me, I can morph my entire body, have strength, speed, and intelligence. I am majorly emotionally inhibited but not immune to them either. I am Gar, The Smiling Monster of the Everfree,” He said as he shifted his entire body to a three-meter tall form with four eyes and a big toothy grin.

*BOOM*

(3rd POV)

Breaking their staring contest both the demon and the parasyte amalgamation looked over in the direction of Ponyville. Zeldris was frustrated with himself for not noticing the dark magic in the air sooner. If only he wasn’t preoccupied with Gar, he could have prevented it from happening.

Turning back to Gar he spoke, “It seems that while we were talking, demons showed up. They are currently attacking the town on the edge of the forest, Ponyville I believe it’s called.” Gar’s eyes widened as he heard what Zeldris said.

After Zeldris finished talking Gar ran as fast as he could to Ponyville, surprising Zeldris. As Gar made his way through the forest, Zeldris flew above and saw smoke rising from the town. Gar didn’t merely run through the forest but bulldozed anything in his path with raw strength and speed, cutting a path straight from the ancient castle to the nearby town leaving not even a stump in the ground. Zeldris actually had a bit of a hard time keeping pace, since he was new at flying.

Zeldris was simply fascinated by the amount of pure physical strength that the monster displayed and wondered, exactly what other abilities he had. He never mentioned having magic in their brief introduction but that made him wonder what exactly was he capable of and what kind of magic he did possess if it could be awakened.

“What is going on here?” Gar said as he looked at the burning town. The buildings were on fire with a purplish-black flame. “Where are all the ponies at?” He looked around. “What do the ponies for this world even look like?” Gar’s attention turned to Zeldris who landed next to him.

“The ponies are anthropomorphic like your zebra form,” Zeldris said, not bothering to look at Gar. Roars could be heard from the other side of the town, catching Gar’s attention. Zeldris turning to Gar spoke, “You fascinate me, Gar. Without me telling you to help the ponies you, you instantly ran out of the castle upon hearing the news of the attack.” Sticking out his hand it engulfed in a green flame. It shocked Zeldris at first but he just guessed it was his original magic. “You seem to be a ‘hero’ type. In my time I have seen many heroes fall. In fact, many of them were slain by my hand.” Pausing Zeldris adorned a wicked smile. ”I would like to offer you a chance to gain power. Do you want to make a deal?”

“What does this deal entail for me?” Gar said as he turned to the town. “Because I don’t need anything that well indentures me to your services for an extended period of time.”

“It’s simple really. If you save the town, you’ll have earned my respect. Which then leads to you getting the power. But if you die,” Zeldris’ smile only grew wider. “I get your soul.”

“I think you’ll take my soul even if I die and don’t take your deal,” Gar said, a little annoyed with a raised eyebrow, “Am I right?”

“I may be a demon, and I may be cruel,” The air grew tense as Zeldris increased the magical pressure surrounding them. “But I never break a deal.”

“Very well,” Gar reached out and took Zeldris’s hand.

A dark green magic circle appeared on the ground beneath them and started to glow. “The deal is set,” Zeldris said as the circle disappeared. Spreading his wings he spoke, “Do not expect help if you are being beaten.” He said as he flew into the sky and cast Perfect Unknowable.

Gar made his way through the town and kept on the lookout for any that may need his help or any enemies. “Mmmm… I would’ve expected to see bodies lying around in a few places,” he commented. “Where are all the ponies? Do you have any kind of idea what we’re dealing with?”

Gar waited for Zeldris to answer, but never got a reply. However, Zeldris was focused on who was burning the town. He knew that it wasn’t a lower class demon or else the flames would have been orange. No, it had to be a higher class, he could feel their darkness. Going back to where Gar was he saw him surrounded by one red demon and 3 blue demons.

Gar’s eyes were shifting back and forth between the four beasts that surrounded him. He knew these four wear just small fries and that someone else had to be controlling them. The demons suddenly all pounced but Gar countered by slicing them to shreds by morphing his arms into blades, First a blue went high but didn’t last as Gar extended his arm constricting the demon and then quickly grew blades and whipped it back. The other blues fell the same way. The red demon started to back away and Gar morphed his arm into a clawed hand then shot it at the red grabbing onto its head and applied pressure until it popped. Gar pulled his arm back and held his hand up to his face allowing him to sniff the lump of flesh in his grip. He steadily opened his fang maw and devoured the red demon piece in his grasp before consuming the rest of the body. Gar then turned to the blue demons and ate them as well, this action actually surprised Zeldris a bit.

Zeldris couldn’t believe that Gar would throw his life away like that. In Seven Deadly Sins, just a cup full of red demon blood was enough to either give you a power boost or explode. Zeldris, curious about what was going to happen, flew down and waited.

Gar leaned over and started coughing. His body was morphing on its own to his surprise. All of a sudden smoke burst from his body, enveloping him in a smoke cloud. Once the smoke was settled it revealed that Gar transformed into an even more monstrous creature. Gar now had purple skin covering his whole body. The irises in his eyes went from a pitch-black to bright yellow. The sclera was now pitch black too. On top of his head, he had sprouted two ridged horns that were a deep crimson color and in the back of his head, there was a coxcomb-like feature. Cracks ran all over his body, most prominent under his four eyes. His already sharp and long claws got even sharper, and even longer. He also had webbed hands and feet.

Gar let out a breath and steam came from his mouth, he held up a hand and flex his fingers testing his dexterity. “Not the best-tasting meal I’ve had, but a satisfying one nonetheless,” Gar looked at Zeldris. “Can you explain why my body looks like it does after consuming those demons? I know in the show humans either blew up or got a power-up. So why do I look like this?”

At first, Zeldris had a face of disbelief but quickly regained his composure when Gar faced him. After hearing Gar’s question the only thing Zeldris could think of was Hawk. “It seems that by being in my presence you have obtained your own magic power. Now, I have seen a power like this before. It was called Trasnspork.” Gar just looked at Zeldris like he was stupid. “It is the power to take the abilities and appearance of anything you eat. The way to turn back is by taking a crap. Oh, and I know you love your new power’s name.” Zeldris said as he chuckled.

“Do you think we should head towards town hall?” Gar deadpanned. “It would seem like that would be the most likely place for the town to gather in mass during an assault of this scale?”

“Go and do whatever you want,” Zeldris said as he flew into the air. “I’ll just be up here enjoying my entertainment.”

Gar rolled his eyes and took off toward a cloaked figure that was directing the lower level demons. Suddenly a lanky shadow appeared and sliced Gar in half with a large grey scythe. The monster’s body fell to either side of the street. The shadow landing revealing it to be a grey demon. It looked at Gar’s pieces with a tilled head and scratched the top of its head with a single finger before shrugging and starting to walk off.

Meanwhile, Gar’s halves opened their eyes and they started to shrink and grow back the missing pieces of their bodies. There were now two Gars to Zeldris’s amusement. While the grey demon back was turned both of the Gars pounced at him. They started to consume it while the demon was doing its best to shake them off. Its struggle was in vain as the Gars ate it whole. The two then fused back together and Gar returned to his full height. Many more cracks appeared on Gar. His lower half was now replaced with pitch bitch black skin instead of the purple.

Purple blood dripped from Gar’s teeth as he turned to the cloaked figure once more. “What are your plans?” Gar turned arms into whips and flung them in the direction of the figure but two new demons. A copper and an orange demon sprang up from nowhere and grabbed onto Gar arms then proceeded to rip them off. As the demons chuckled, Gar fell to his knee and looked at the demons with his own chuckle. Suddenly Gar’s arms sprang to life growing a maw of serrated teeth and eyeballs to the demons' shock the limbs tore them apart and consumed them before returning to Gar’s body.

Gar’s body once again burst into a cloud of smoke, changing due to Transpork. Once the smoke settled Gar could be seen, panting with black blood coming out of his mouth. Zeldris wasn’t sure if it was his blood or the demon's blood. Gars’ new appearance consisted of two new cone-shaped horns on both sides of his head at eye level. His muscle mass increased. He also had green spots over his arms.

“No! No! No! No!” The cloaked figure started to scream. “How can my demons have possibly died to you lower-class— whatever you are! I trained them myself! Me, Sith one of the Six Knights of Black.”

Gar started to approach Sith, but Zeldris landed next to him and put a hand on his shoulder. “This one is my problem, she deserves a True Death.” Once he said that Sith fell to the ground lifeless.

Gar merely shrugged and looked down at the demon’s corpse. “I’ve already eaten five of the lower class demons, do you mind if I have that one as well?”

“I don’t think that would be wise. But if you want to go ahead. However,” Zeldris said as he walked up and placed a hand on the demon. “The soul is mine.” He said as he pulled the soul out and ate it.

“I am a creature of flesh and don’t possess that skill, yet,” Gar said as he then mercilessly devoured the demon on the ground. Gar licked the blood off his teeth suddenly, darkness crept over his body and then formed into what appeared to be the shape of an egg. Zeldris looked on with a slight smirk at this. Then Gar burst forth forcing the darkness to disperse around him and then came back and formed a swirling vine pattern over most of his body. The most predominant darkness was a pattern of small stars on his upper left pectoral muscles.

“Well, you seem to have become part demon. It is now time for me to fulfill my part of the deal.” Zeldris said as he became more serious. “Search my mind! Choose a worthy weapon for the one I behold! Memory make-magic: Sacred Treasure!”

After Zeldris finished talking a light enveloped both him and Gar searching through their minds. The light shone even brighter before disappearing revealing a floating spear. It was in fact Spirit Spear Basquias. “You have surprised me again and again! Becoming part demon was expected, but becoming the Fairy King, truly entertaining."

"This turn of events has been most fruitful," Gar gave a wicked grin that even creeped Zeldris out just a bit. "Perhaps due to the effects of living in the forest back home has something to do with this Fairy King title."

All of a sudden the duo were hit with a massive black fireball causing an explosion that sent them rocketing in opposite directions. Gar was flung up against a purple dome. His face was mangled with two eyes missing, another hanging on by a thread of flesh, several teeth missing, and a rather sizable hole in his neck.

He looked around with his only remaining eye to see what he hit and came to see a very frightened purple pony unicorn. The little one was shaking with fear as he turned to look at her as his face and neck regenerated.

"Fear not little one, I am here to help stop this. Is there anypony missing Twilight?" Gar calmly as to not rouse any more suspicion.

Twilight was scared when the demon first started to talk, but it seemed like he wanted to help. “U-um Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom aren’t in here. We’ve been calling out to them but they haven’t answered yet! Please go and save them!” She pleaded with the monster.

Gar nodded before speaking. “I will. I’ll bring them back to you unharmed.” He said before jumping up into the air to look around. Much to his surprise, Basquias floated beneath him so he was now hovering. Searching the area he came upon something truly horrifying. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom were lying in the ground unconscious. While Scootaloo was pinned to the ground by a blue demon with his foot on her back. The blue demon grabbed her wings and pulled. He pulled until they came out of the socket. Gar seemingly snapped.

A dark aura surrounded gar as he flew to the blue demon on Basquias. The blue demon seemed to have recognized Gar to be the monster from earlier so he started to run away. In the blink of the eye Gar appeared and cut the legs off of the demon. The demon screened only to have it beak slammed shut by Gar. With the same hand, Gar ripped the beak off of the demon. Gar was about to pierce the demon's heart with Basquias but then the demon tried to save himself by shooting hellfire from its mouth burning Gar.

Or so he thought.

Gar then brought Basquias down into the demon's head and twisted. In a blind rage, Gar looked around and lashed out at the first demon he saw. Gar tried to spit the demon in half. Keyword on tried. The demon raised his armored hand and stopped his attack with its pinky. Gar then went for an uppercut but his hand never connected. The demon pulled out his sword and cut Gar’s arm off, then threw it away from the fight. Having enough of this pointless fight the demon backhanded Gar so hard he snapped out of his trance.

“I’ll let you off this time. Though, next time” Zeldris said as he adorned a wicked smirk. "I won’t hesitate to kill you.” After he said that Zeldris vanished from Gar’s vision only to reappear in a couple of seconds with the CMC in his arms. “This is the perfect time to test out Basquias’s seventh form.”

Gar shook his head as he got to his feet and looked around as Basquias appeared next to him then to his missing limb. “Where is my arm?” He looked around and then a snake similar to the form he took in his homeworld came out of the grass and latched on to Gar’s shoulder then shifted into his arm once more. Gar was amazed at the thing his body was doing and wondered if he could activate it willingly. But that would have to wait as he walked over to the little pegasus.

“Poor little one,” Gar looked at the filly with sadness. “Why do I feel so strongly about these ponies? First in my world and now, here.” Gar held up his hand to the spear. “So strange that I know what I must do, Basquias: Seventh Configuration Moon Rose,” The spear changed into a giant white rose and leaned over Scootaloo. “Droplet of Life.” A drop of liquid hit the little filly and as she began to glow all her wounds began to heal until she was completely restored.

“Hmm… interesting,” Gar looked to Zeldris. “What all can this spear do?” he said as he picked Scootaloo up.

Zeldris quickly cast heal on the other two ponies before speaking. “So far only six configurations were shown to my knowledge. You have already used the Seventh moon rose, it allows you to heal any wound. You can only use it a certain number of times in a row before you need to collect more mana, or since you're now part demon, soul.” When Zeldris said that Gar slightly smiled before going to a neutral expression. “The first configuration is the original form of Basquias. Its second configuration is Guardian which takes the form of a gigantic hornet-like incest with tremendous speed. Configurations three and four, I don’t know. You’ll have to find out. The fifth configuration is Yggdra Armor, which is a suit of armor that is golden and has large claws. The ninth configuration is death thorn. Basquias turns into a myriad of vines, which will kill anything that it cuts. The last form I know of is the tenth configuration Emerald Octo, which the previous owner usually used. Basquias turns into green vines or as some people say, tentacles, that can wrap around the owner to protect them. Or it can attack.” Zeldris said to his surprise. He didn’t think he knew that much about it. It must have all come back when the magic searched his mind.

“Hmm..” Gar sprouted two tendrils and used them to grab the other to fillies and placed them on his back and he did the same with Scootaloo. “Thank you for beating some sense into me. I don’t understand why I’ve been getting so emotional. I barely have them but when I do especially when I get angry I lash out violently.” Suddenly a huge set of butterfly wings with a rainbow color of lights toward the end shot from Gar back on either side of the fillies. “Was not expecting that,” Gar said in shock as he started to float effortlessly off the ground. “Or this.”

Laughter filled the air when Gar sprouted wings. “I don’t even know what you are anymore!” Zeldris said between laughs. Gar just looked at him with an emotionless stare. “Oh what was that thing again? A token? How do I make one?” Zeldris said as Gar floated down to the down to the ground slowly.”

“A token is an object that you choose to represent yourself along with a phrase. You put your energy in it and toss it.” He explained as they started to walk to townhall. “I don’t really know much more.”

Zeldris then had a great idea. Sticking out his hand he looked at his palm. “Create Greater Item.” With that said a small object appeared in his hand. It was an earring that resembled an eye.

Pushing his magic power into the magic eye he spoke,”I am the Lion sin of Pride. Call upon me and I will respond if I feel like it. If you seek power, we can make a deal!” Zeldris tossed the token into the air and a portal opened up. Sucking in the eye Zeldris could see it split over and over again until the portal closed. The original eye appeared back in Zeldris hand. Turning to Gar, Zeldris smiles. “You amuse me. If you wish to, you can call upon me any time my dear, whatever you are.” Zeldris said as he looked Gar up and down tossing him the Token

“I am Gar nothing more nothing less,” He said in a simple tone. “How about we take these three back to the others?” Gar looked over his shoulder to the sleeping fillies. “Their older sisters are probably very worried about them?”

Continuing their walk they made it to the town hall in no time.

“Twilight,” Gar yelled to the purple pony. “We have Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo!” Twilight peeked her head out of town hall to see the demon she talked to and Zeldris. A shiver went down her spine as she saw him. Walking out slowly she avoided eye contact with Zeldris and made her way over to Gar.

“Thank you, Thank you, thank you so much!” Twilight screamed as she burst into a crying mess along with three other ponies. Zeldris, not one for anything having to do with family, tapped Gar’s shoulder and pointed back to the old castle. Nodding they both flew off.

On their flight back, Zeldris remembered something important he forgot to tell Gar. “Gar, as the fairy king you will now also have the magical ability called Disaster. It is capable of exercising complete control over life and death, by which the user can elevate or diminish the natural state of something.”

“Hmm… interesting,” Gar rubbed his chin and then stopped abruptly, as did Zeldris. There, in front of the two was a tall blonde haired man in a black and silver suit wearing a red hooded coat. He had golden amber eyes and he was just standing there in mid-air. “Who are you?”

“Just a passerby,” The man looked at the duo and started to clap his hands. “Good job stopping the demons by the way.”

“Just a passerby, don’t make me laugh.” Zeldris spat. He was on high alert. He hasn’t had his guard up since his brother was still alive. “Your power is almost comparable to mine. You may survive if I get serious. So, who are you.” Zeldris said as he started emitting bloodlust.

“Boy, you best calm down before I get serious,” the man placed his hands in his pockets. “Like I said I was passing by. I never said I was in this world while doing so,” His eyes locked on Zeldris. “You’ve got a lot of never releasing your blood lust at me like that. A whelp of only a few thousand years and you think you’re a big shot,” the man said a quick chant and pulled out a dual handled key looking sword and pointed at Zeldris. “But if you want to fight me then I won’t stop you. It’s rare that I ever get a challenge these days. But know that you’ll die without even seeing my true power.”

“Who are you?” Gar asked.

Ignoring Gar’s question, the man and Zeldris continued to look at each other. Zeldris then started laughing before speaking. “You took the words right out of my mouth,” Zeldris said as he dismissed his bloodlust. “But I cannot reveal my true power just yet. The supreme being and Demon king would now my location. And I can’t have that now can I? However, once my situation is sorted out. I will crush you.”

“You can crush me,” the man said in Zeldris’s ear but he was still standing in front of him. “I’ve been around the block and through the Void kid and you would never stand a chance in all of the omniverse against me. But I’m a sporting guy. I 'm doing something for you, Wanna make a deal?”

Zeldris stuck out his hand waiting to accept. The man reached down to shake it. In a split second, Zeldris had his hand on the man's throat. Going wide-eyed the man went to grab Zeldris’S hand but Zeldris choked him. Looking him in the eye he spoke. “That is my line.” Zeldris said angrily. “I would never stand a chance? Who decided that?” Zeldris said as he crushed the man's throat.

Suddenly the man was gone and Zeldris was holding nothing in his hand. He looked over and saw the man’s eyes were crimson with a six-pointed black sun pattern on them.

“I decided,” The man said with nothing but snark. Zeldris had never encountered this before. “Like I said kid you don’t know my power.”

Zeldris internally was extremely confused but he kept his composure. “I suspected as much,” Zeldris said as he wiped some dust off his clothes. “A being with your power killed by me in my first, weakest form? Laughable.” After saying that Zeldris stuck out his hand which ignited with green fire. “Back to what you were saying before, Do you wanna make a deal?”

“If you can guess my name I will give one power but you will not know its name?” The man said as he held out his left hand as it blackens into an all-consuming black. “Are these terms acceptable?”

Grabbing his hand a dark green magic circle appeared under them. “The deal is set.” Zeldris then started to fly circles around the man looking for clues. “Blonde hair… amber eyes… and a red coat.” Zeldris had an idea of who he is. Just need to confirm one last thing. A glint of light from his right arm hit Zeldris's eye confirming it was metal! Zeldris was about to speak but-

“Your Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood,” Gar said with a bored tone. Zeldris just looked back at him and mouthed ‘Your a bitch’ before turning back to Edward.

Pointing back to Gar, Zeldris had a slight smirk. “What he said.”

“Wait a moment you can’t be. Edward Elric?,” Gar looked at Edward in shock, who was smirking.

“Been a long time hasn’t it baby brother,” Edward said to Gar. Zeldris looked from Gar to Edward with just as much shock before turning to Edward one final time. “You win dick head.” Edward held up a hand and shot crimson lighting at Zeldris who started to struggle as he felt his body being remade until the pain suddenly stopped. “There, you have your power. I must go now. I just wanted to say congratulations on your first summons Gar. To end the contract simply say ‘our business is done’ Zeldris. One last thing,” Edward tossed a silver alchemist pocket watch to the Lion Sin of Pride. “My token doubles as a communicator for any who have one and it can send small items across the void, do use it wisely.” A swirling portal opens behind Edward. “Good luck both of you.” He said as he disappeared into the portal.

“How the hell,” Gar asked in shock.

“I didn’t get to give him my token,” Zeldris stated matter of factly.

"I don't think he needs it," Gar stated.

Looking at Gar Zeldris continued. “It’s been fun, Gar. I hope you call upon me when something interesting is going on. Or if there is a foe you can’t beat I’ll help you out, and just for you, I’ll do it for free! ‘Our business is done.’” After saying that a portal opened up similar to Ed’s.

“It would seem so, Zeldris I must warn you my brother is the same man he was back home, but he is also changed. He was not afraid to act on things,” Gar looked at him in the eyes and Zeldris knew he was telling the truth. “If you fight him, you will die over and over again,” Gar looked at his portal. “Do call me again. Demons are quite tasty and I’d love to be a part of the sins,” Gar chuckled. “Goodbye my Friend” he held up his hand.

“If you like demons, just wait until the angels show up! I could eat their souls, and you could also eat their bodies!” Zeldris and Gar both laughed. “Well my friend, I’ll see you later,” Zeldris said as he shook Gar’s hand.

Gar nodded and leapt into the portal. It then closed and Zeldris looked down at the pocket watch. “A whole new world of possibilities!” He then looked back to where the portal had opened and he thought he saw the symbol of the crimson boar.
