Equestria Girls: Cyber Kunoichi

As the sun rises on a new day, after the welcome home party last night, the Blaze family all slept soundly in bed after the fun night they had.

Well, almost all of them.

After waking up earlier than the rest of his family, Silver Scorpion was standing outside of the backyard wearing dark-grey jeans and a white shirt, and didn't have shoes or socks on; with his katana in hand, training and practicing to sharpen and strengthen his skills.

He continuously trained to draw out his sword from its scabbard faster than a nanosecond, he practiced his defense and offense without pause, he swung and thrust his blade around to better his fluid movements. He also trained harder to perfect his swordsmanship in kendo, laido, and kenjutsu.

Then later, he cast his blade aside to train himself both physically and mentally in close-combat. He trained in aikido, jujutsu, judo, karate, and ninjutsu. He then trained on perfecting his reflexes and agility; performing backflips and dodging the incoming tennis balls from the tennis machines he set up. Which fired every tennis ball at him nonstop, forcing him not to stop dodging.

And after the machines had run out, it was only then Silver stopped to catch his breath, exhausted himself after a short, but harsh training exercise. As he continued to take deep breathes, he looks over to the pool in the backyard, where Lancelot was laying next to the pool, watching Silver’s hardcore training the entire time.

“Was… That… Enough?” Silver gasped for air when he spoke.

The family crocodile could only respond by blinking his eyes once; which Silver took for an answer.

“Yeah… I thought not,” he said as he shook off his exhaustion and walked over to pick up his katana.

“Did rest ever accrue to you, Master Silver.” Bristle’s voice called to him.

Silver turns to face the house, where he sees the old family butler approach him while carrying a silver platter in his hands. And once he stood in front of him, Silver could see a bottle of water and a towel on it.

“I never needed rest, Bristle.” Silver replied right before he took the bottled water and drank it halfway and while drying himself off with the towel.

“Nonsense, Master Silver. Everyone needs rest.” The old man claimed. “Especially when they are pushing themselves too far.” he added while placing a hand on Silver’s shoulder.

“You’re always looking out for me, aren’t you?” Silver responded with heartedly tone.

“It's my duty to watch over you and Master Inferno; a task entrusted to me by your parents.” Bristle proclaimed.

"And you've been so good to us all these years… even when we were lost," Magnus came out and said, having woken up from a good night's sleep and was in his robe.

Bristle turned around and stood at attention to Magnus’s presence.

“Master Magnus, how has your slumber been?” Bristle spoke with professionalism.

"Absolutely wonderful, thank you for asking. What's going on out here?" Magnus asked.

“Well, Master Silver was out here exhausting himself with his peculiar exercises.” Bristle answered.

Silver stared at the butler with a betrayed expression while Bristle shrugged and gave an apologetic expression.

"At this early hour? Silver, you really should've gotten some sleep. Why stay up all night? You know it's only gonna do more harm than good to your body." Magnus pointed out.

“Dad, it's just a precaution, in case if…” Silver was hesitant on the last word and changed it at the last second. “... you know, if there’s an intruder in the house, a psychopath on the loose in the neighborhood, or maybe another one of mom’s crazy fans.” he claimed.

“Son, we live in the safest neighborhood in Canterlot. And to remind you, that we won’t be hearing from those Storm Gang bastards in forever ather the death of their leader,” Magnus assures his son. “And lastly, aren’t psychopaths and your mother’s fans the same thing?”

That got Silver to chuckle a bit.

"Do we have to talk about my crazed fans on a beautiful morning like this?" Fleur asked, stepping out from the house, wearing her robe.

Magnus then approaches his wife to give her a morning kiss, while Silver drinks the rest of his bottled water, while Bristle stands at attention.

“Ah, good morning, Miss Fleur, I had forgotten you were up as well.” The butler spoke.

"Yes and what a delightful night's rest that was. Your earplugs certainly came in handy due to my husband's heavy snoring," Fleur said, turning to said husband with a teasing grin.

“I’m glad to be of service.” Bristle bowed his head in response.

Magnus gave an unamused expression on his face, feeling insulted at this moment.

“No offense, dad. But you do snore loudly.” Silver commented.

As they were talking, Lancelot immediately got up from his spot and crawled towards Fleur at a quick pace that was suitable for the 200 lb croc. And then he stops by the woman's feet before grabbing onto her robe with his mouth and tugging on it gently.

"Oh, hello there, Lancelot. Did you have a goodnight sleep as well?" Fleur asked, kneeling down and petting her croc. "I'll bet you're pretty hungry, too."

Lancelot simply snuggled against his owner as a way of agreeing with her. Fleur giggled and gave her pet croc some more gentle pats on the head. "Very well then. Bristle, do we still have any more meat in the fridge? Any uncooked meats?" she asked.

"I believe so. Wait one moment, if you please," Bristle said before heading inside the house. While they waited, Fleur sighed and kept petting Lancelot.

"In all my years, it makes me happy to know our two boys found some wonderful friends. Especially some lively ones," Fleur said, remembering last night.

"You said it, honey," Magnus chuckled. "Kind of reminds me of when we were young and wild and freaky on our honeymoon."

“Oh I remember~” Fleur responded while also giving a playful wink to her husband.

“You two do know I’m standing right here, right?” Silver exclaimed, not wanting to hear anything about what happened last night; yeah, Inferno told him all about it. Silver was close to consider murdering Israel, Fluttershy, and Pinkie for making all that racket during the party, which poor Dinky would have heard if Derpy didn’t have her watching friendly videos on her phone, with earphones on.

"Perhaps we should invite them over again sometimes. They all seem like good company to have over." Magnus suggested. “We should even consider inviting their parents. It has been long since we’ve socialized with other adults… adults that don’t point a gun at you every day.” he added.

"That's a whole lot of people, dad. Are you sure you can manage that?" Silver asked, hoping he might say no.

“Mmmm… Well… Maybe we should just stick to the original guest list instead.” Magnus admitted.

“How about invite just the grown-ups and don’t invite the others.” Silver proposed.

"Good point. We've already seen how delightful your friends are. Now it's our turn to make some friends of our own," Fleur agreed.

“Agreed. Perhaps we should arrange a meeting with the parents of those three boys we met last night. I heard a lot of good things about them, they seem like nice people.” Magnus suggested.

“I just hope that goofiness isn’t hereditary.” Silver mumbled.

"What was that, dear?" Fleur asked.

“Nothing.” Silver responded.

Before that could turn into another conversation, Bristle came out of the house with a silver platter in both his hands and it was covered with a lid. He approaches the three and stops in front of them.

“I present Lancelot’s meal, Mrs Fleur.” Bristle spoke with professionalism as he took the lid off the platter, which revealed the leftover raw meat left over from dinner last night.

"Oh, wonderful! Thank you, Bristle." Fleur chimed. "Go on, Lancelot, breakfast is served." she tells her pet. Lancelot happily walks towards Bristle, who sets his meal down in front of him. Lancelot then opens his massive chompers and clamps down on his delicious meat. The big reptile lets out happy growls as he continues to feed.

And in seconds, the croc ate all the meat, leaving nothing on the platter. The big retile looks up at the humans, giving a big smile (in his own way) and his tail wagging.

"That's my boy. Such a good crocodile. Are you full now?" Fleur asked, leaning down again to smother her pet croc. Lancelot replied by nodding his head up and down. "Good. Now are you ready for a morning swim with mommy?”

The giant reptile's tail swished back and forth and his grin got bigger and wider.

"Alrighty then. Wait for mommy, I'll go change into my bikini," Fleur said. She then gives Lancelot a quick peck on the head before heading inside, making her way to her bedroom.

Silver then takes this to time to head back inside, especially when he knows what time it is.

“I’m gonna head out right now. And I should let Derpy know too.” Silver stated as he headed towards the house.

“What do you mean, son?” Magnus asked in curiosity.

Silver stopped in his tracks and realized that his parents didn’t know. He soon turns arounds and looks his father in the eye.

“Oh… Right, I forgot to tell you and mom. Well… I have a job.” Silver responded.

"Really? Wow, good job, son! I'm proud," Magnus said.

“That is truly splendid, Master Silver,” Bristle commented.

“Thanks,” Silver replied. “Oh and, uh, Derpy also works at the same place I work at, so Bristle could you, mind looking after Dinky while we’re out? I would have asked Aurora and her sisters to do it, but… they left this morning.”

"But, of course, master Silver. The young lady is in good hands," Bristle assures with a bow.

“Thank you. Well, see you after work.” Silver said as he headed towards the house and entered inside.

And seconds after he enters the house, Fleur emerges from the mansion and into the backyard. She had on a two-piece violet bikini that barely contained her massive GG-cup breasts with its thin, tight strings. Her bottom piece covered up plenty of her womanhood, but its thin string wrapped around her curvaceous, hourglass hips looked like it would snap loose at any moment, but it certainly left plenty for the imagination. If she were in a photo shoot, cameras would be flashing from every angle. Motherhood did not deter her youthful looks whatsoever.

"Looking good, hun. Real good," Magnus flirted with a wink.

"Easy, dearest. Wait until after I've finished my little dip in the pool with our precious pet. Then we can… Get. It. On." Fleur replied teasingly, waving her little finger back and forth. After that, Fleur and Lancelot both got into the pool and swam around, having a wonderful time. Lancelot even did a few barrel rolls because he was so happy to be back with his mommy. Fleur giggled and rubbed Lancelot's underbelly, making his back legs flail, like he was ticklish. His tail swished around, splashing water like crazy.

Meanwhile, at the hideout, with the gang altogether and finished partying the night away, it was time to get back to work on their training. The only ones not present are Silver and Derpy, since they have work today. And so, the gang had to make due with training with Tempest.

Right now, the military bombshell was personally training Inferno in hand-to-hand combat. Inferno was barely keeping up with this berry beauty, which impressed Tempest. But she wasn't planning on letting up anytime soon.

"You're a hell of a resilient guy, I'll give you that. But you've still got plenty of room for improvement, big boy," Tempest said, blocking and dodging Inferno's punches and kicks. She then counters with a punch to the gut, knocking the wind out of him. But he doesn't drop to his knees so easily. Tempest goes for the gusto and sweeps his legs. He's knocked off balance and she pins him down. "Gotcha!" she grinned.

"Yeah, yeah, just you wait. One of these days, I'll knock you flat on your ass," Inferno retorted. Tempest would've smacked anyone across the face for that, but Inferno? Well… she lets him off with a peck on the nose.

"Yeah right, hot buns." she gloated.

Then what she didn’t expect next was Inferno’s hand reaching up behind her and grasping at her posterior; giving it a squeeze. Tempest let out soft gasp, mixed with a moan. Then in a second, Inferno rolls over, pulling Tempest with him till he is on top of her, pinning her down on the ground. He looked at her with a grin on his face before leaning his head down next to her ear and whispered: “Too bad I know your weakness.”

"Okay, I'll get you for that when training's over, you sneaky perv," Tempest chuckled.

"Just to be on the safe side, I am not going for that weakness." Israel whispered to the brothers.

"Smart move. She'd probably break you so badly, you'll need to eat through a straw," Heat whispered back.

"Or worse," Eternal whispered.

"Hey! You boys! You're not here to gossip, you're here to train! So move your asses and get back to your sparring session! ON THE DOUBLE!" Tempest yelled. The Victory Squad quickly got back to training and Tempest checked with the girls to view their training status.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Tempest dusted herself off and went to see who it was. Opening the door, she finds Celestia and Luna at the door. Alongside them were Starlight, Trixie and even Chrysalis.

"Sorry to show up on such short notice. Just thought we'd drop by to see how the training is coming along," Tia said.

“We got hung up by traffic, there was construction going on downtown.” Luna exclaimed.

“I’m only here because it was getting boring and lonely up in that stupid building.” Chrysalis stated before she looked towards the Victory Squad. “Uh, no offense.” she added.

"None taken," the squad shrugged.

"Ah, so this is where Trixie's handsome prince trains. Trixie's dying to see him flex some of those bulging muscles." Trixie said, getting all tingly

Starlight stared at the girl next to her with a questioning facial expression on her face. “Ok?”

"Heh, well isn't that adorable?" Chrysalis chuckled. "Young love."

"Chrysalis, do not encourage the young lady's inappropriate fantasies," Luna replied.

"She's right, Chrysalis. We're not just here to check on their training, we're here to also train our new recruits to the team," Tia added.

“Wait? What new recruits?” Sunset asked out of curiosity.

"You're looking at them, Ms. Sunset," Luna gestured towards Trixie and Starlight.

"Since they know about our secret, it's only fair that they join our ranks. You never know when we might need the extra help." Tia added.

"Not me, I'm just here because I was bored all by myself." Chrysalis stated.

"Heavens! Are you sure Trixie and Starlight are ready for such a change in their lives?" Rarity asked with concern.

"They volunteered to join out of their own free will. But just to make sure, we'll give them a demonstration on how we fight. Tempest, would you mind if my sister and I borrowed the training room for a while?" Celestia asked.

"You got the spotlight," Tempest moved aside, taking Inferno with her.

"Thank you." Both sisters said. The two then took their spots in the training room on opposite sides, facing each other. Both sisters bowed before taking their respectful stances.

"Uh, Heaty? Is your mom and aunt strong?" Trixie asked.

"I've never seen my aunt in action. But mom? You don't wanna mess with," Heat replied.

"Alright! You may begin!" Tempest signaled.

Right away, both sisters disappeared before everyone's eyes.

"What the? Where'd they go?" Starlight asked.

"Are they magicians?" Trixie asked.

"No, they're just moving at super-high speeds, so it only looks like they disappeared." Sunset pointed out.

"We can sort of see them, but we're still rookies ourselves," Twilight added.

"Uh… ladies. Tone down the speed so our audience can see you a little better," Chrysalis called out from the sidelines.

The sisters heard loud and clear and slowed down during their demonstration, giving their trainees a good look at their coordinated attack patterns. Their flexibility, their remarkable reaction time, the extraordinary agility they displayed.

Starlight and Trixie watched in awe. "These ladies are on a whole other level! You girls sure we're in the right training program?"

"Oh trust me, this is where it all happens. Accept no substitutions. They teach shinobi techniques, I handle endurance and military combat training. I also teach a little bit of mixed martial arts," Tempest replied.

“I make the gear and armor,” Inferno added. “Pretty much I make these ladies look cool.”

"Please tell me the boys don't wear the same type of skin-tight armor as Celestia and Luna." Starlight pleaded.

“No, no they don’t.” Sunset responded.

“Dang, Starlight, it's like everything gets you uncomfortable.” Rainbow pointed out.

"She probably doesn't like the idea of showing off too much of her natural body through a skin tight bodysuit. It is somewhat… revealing," Rarity pointed out.

Starlight didn’t respond to that and simply crossed her arms and pouted; Although, to her misfortune, her crossed arms caused her GGG-sized boobs to bulge through her shirt. Inferno blushed at the sight, the two brothers turned away out of respect. Yabuki… well… his eyes shrunk and his cheeks turned bright red upon seeing her boobs bulging like that.

Starlight notices the boys’ behavior and gets flustered by it, and in response… well… Her hands glowed with Equestrian magic and fired two stun spells at both Inferno and Israel, knocking the boys flat on their asses and onto the ground.

"Why. . . me?" Israel groaned.

Inferno groaned in pain from the stun blast and said: “Well… at least she didn’t aim at the lower area.”

"Here's a thought. Why not give her some armor that's similar to ours," Heat suggested before activating his suit, showing what it looks like.

"Oh! So your suit is some kind of… metal armor?" Starlight asked.

"Yeah. A smooth, but durable armor that allows flexibility. It's made up of Infinium, a metal I designed myself." Heat explained.

“So you guys got armor, while the girls got spandexs?” Starlight claimed.

“Spandexs?!” Inferno responded abruptly towards that comment while also chuckling slightly a bit, if he wasn’t in pain right now. “Naw, Starlight. Those suits I designed for the girls are made of Draconium nanofiber; a metal that I invented. It may not look like it, but those suits of theirs are indestructible.” he explained.

“And bulletproof!” Pinkie cheerfully added.

"Okay, that's… somewhat a relief, but did you have to make them so skin tight? It feels like you're… I dunno…" Starlight said, unsure.

"...like he's turning us into a fan service?" Pinkie asked.

“It was Celestia’s idea! I keep telling you guys that!” Inferno protested.

“Ok, everyone! Let's not get off topic and go back to the present.” Sunset tells everyone in the room.

"Thank you, Sunset. Now then, I'm sure you girls have seen what we can do. So now, we will teach all about the art of the shinobi and also whip you girls into shape. Tempest you have the honors with Starlight and Trixie. It's time that Luna and I trained our other girls."

But before everyone could get started on continuing their training, Starlight makes a shocking statement.

“Um, that would sound nice, Celestia…. Unfortunately… I don’t intend on being a shinobi or a kunoichi; whatever you guys call yourselves.” She spoke with an anxious look and sheepish tone.

Everyone, especially the girls, Luna, Chrysalis, and Tia, looked at Starlight with shocked and stunned expressions on their faces. As if they never saw this coming from miles.

"Oh? Then… What, are you looking to train in martial arts like the Victory Squad?" Tia asked.

“Nope, not them either.” Starlight responded.

"Damn… didn't see that coming either," Eternal blinked.

"But if she's not interested in either option, what's she looking to study?" Heat asked.

"That's what I wanna know," Spike added.

“Yeah, Starlight, what is it that you’re willing to do?!” Rainbow asked in confusion and disbelief.

“Well…” Starlight said right off the bat, only to hesitate a little, before she got to talking. “I was thinking of something that would require ethical behavior, mental focus, discipline… uh, no offense to you guys, and not involving me wearing skin-tight suits.” She stated, with the last one not related to what kind of training she’s looking for and more of her flustered side talking.

"Hey, no worries. We completely understand." Sunset assured.

"And if you're looking for something more sophisticated to learn, you could… oh! What about the art of the samurai? Inferno's brother is an expert rōnin, or samurai in simpler terms," Twilight pointed out.

“Huh? No way.” Inferno responded.

“Oh c’mon, sugarcube. Yer brother’s methods are the only thing that fits Starlight’s wishes.” Applejack replied.

“Yeah, you can’t still be holding a grudge against him, are you?” Rainbow asked.

“I mean, he and Dark rescued your parents, didn’t he?” Pinkie reminded him.

“Well, yeah… But you don’t see me and Israel being all buddy-buddy with our brothers.” Inferno commented.

"Israel's brother, I can understand. But Silver's not as deranged as Dark. Don't you think he deserves to lend his younger brother a helping hand with a brand new student?" Fluttershy asked, fluttering her eyes.

Inferno is struggling against the cuteness that is Fluttershy. “Don’t give me that look. Don’t give me that look! Don’t you dare.” He protested.

"Aww, do you really hate him that much to not trust him anymore?" she asked, slightly tearing up in her star-spangled eyes.

And just like that, Inferno gave in. “AAAAAAAAAH!!! Even if I wanted to help out right now! He’s currently working on the job at Sugar Cafe! I can’t just call him during work!” He exclaimed.

As the whole conversation went on, Starlight paid attention to the ordeal and heard about Inferno saying that his brother was working at Sugar Cafe; which she recalls remembering that place and being there herself. So with that as her first place to start, she silently stepped away from the group as they were talking and quietly walked all the way to the front entrance of the hideout and exited the place.

"So, give him a call when his shift is over. I don't mean to call him now, silly." Fluttershy pointed out, giving a cute giggle and a squee. Her boyfriend wound up stiffening up and falling flat on his ass like a piece of board.

“Alright, fine. I’ll give him a call when his shift is over.” Inferno responds in defeat.

"Hear that, Starlight? You're gonna le--" Pinkie paused when she noticed Starlight was gone and the door was wide open.

"Did she just bail on us?" Spike asked, confused.

"She may not be a shinobi, but she sure was skilled at sneaking away from us." Tempest said. "And now that I think about it, I'm getting kinda hungry. We'll continue our training until after we get something to eat."

"Me too, I'm getting kinda hungry. Someone heads out into town and picks up some food," Chrysalis said, rubbing her empty stomach.

"I'll go," Eternal volunteered.

"You gonna be okay on your own, babe?" Sunset asked.

"I'll be fine. It's only a food run," Eternal assures, about to leave.

"Okay, but be careful. You never know when Zoor's gonna send her buckets of bolts after you." Inferno warned.

Eternal nods and takes a quick shower in the break room before changing into some clean clothes and suits up before heading out.

"Are you sure he'll be alright, darling?" Rarity asked.

"I hope he will. I'm still worried about him," Sunset replied.

Meanwhile at Sugar Cafe, with Silver and Derpy, the two were currently working on their shifts. Derpy attended to the customers as a substitute waiter after one of the waiting staff was sick. Silver was doing cleaning; wiping down the tables and mopping the floors. Though he was also assigned by Mrs.Cake with another task: kicking out customers that were bad for business. And there were moments where he ‘escorted’ a karen out the door; and also a guy who refused to pay for his meal.

Though one person he actually, literally, kicked out of the establishment, is some a-hole who rudely was grabbing Derpy’s tushie and making her uncomfortable. Silver didn’t say a word and just pulled the guy by his shirt collar, dragged him to the door, and gave him a harsh kick to the ass and sent flying onto the pavement.

"I appreciate the hard work you're doing for me, Silver. You and Derpy." Mrs. Cake said.

"It's no problem at all, Mrs. Cake." Silver assured.

"If you say so. Well, I'd better mosey along and get back to my duties," Mrs. Cake said before turning around and walking back behind the cash register. Unbeknownst to her, her big booty shook and rippled while she hummed to herself.

Silver resumed wiping the tables clean while Derpy tended to the few customers that were enjoying their meals.

"Hello, everybody! Are we enjoying our meals today? Can I interest you in anything else? Maybe a refill on your drinks?" Derpy asked, fluttering her cute golden wall eyes.

"Mmm, a refill on my lemonade sounds nice." said the male customer. He hands Derpy his empty cup.

"And I'd like a refill on my orange soda, please," said his girlfriend. Derpy happily takes both cups and heads into the back.

"One orange soda and lemonade coming up!" Derpy said, heading back and humming an adorable tune. Silver watched her with a smile, admiring Derpy's friendly attitude. She was truly one in a million. Despite all the hardships she faced, she never gave up as a both a person… and a mother.

And watching her tackle life's issues with that beautiful smile… It only motivated himself to want to do better for his sake, as well as her sake and his family. It does not help keeping that lingering ‘question’ in his head at bay. And more importantly, it also builds his already strong drive to protect those close to him.

His mind was conflicted at the moment. But he tries to keep it on the down low.

Moments later, the bell on the door rings, as another person enters the restaurant; who just so happened to be Starlight. When she entered the establishment, she approached the counter and turned her head from left to right, looking for something; more importantly, someone.

As she turns her head back to the counter, she looks over and sees Mrs.Cake minding her business. With a calm voice, Starlight calls towards the woman.

“Um, excuse me?” She spoke. Upon hearing her, Mrs.Cake turned around and stared at Starlight.

"Yes, how can I help you, dearie?" Mrs. Cake asked.

“Um, I’m looking for someone who I heard works here. His name is Silver Scorpion. Do you happen to know him?” Starlight asked.

"Why yes. He's right over there, wiping the tables," Mrs. Cake points.

Starlight looks over to where the woman was pointing and she sees Silver doing what Mrs.Cake said he was doing; wiping down the tables. Starlight turns to Mrs.Cake and thanks her before she turns away from the front counter and approaches the young man.

Once she stopped in front of him, with his back turned towards her, she was soon about to get his attention when…

“Don’t expect that I didn’t notice you coming in.” Silver spoke, surprising Starlight greatly, as he turned around to face her. “Never thought I ran into you again. Last time we met, you gave me proof of my parents being alive. But now, I’m questioning why you’re here.” he added.

"Well, I've been talking with your friends earlier and they told me you were, umm…" Starlight paused and whispered the rest in Silver's ear. "...they told me you're an expert in fighting like a samurai warrior, and that you might be able to train me in the way of the samurai?” She asked in silence. After that, she stood there in front of him, waiting for an answer.

Silver stared at her with a blank expression on his face while he stayed silent after what she had told him. And after a few minutes of silence, he broke silence.

“Okay, first of all, they’re not my friends and my brother hates my guts. Second of all, it is not ‘the way of the samurai’, it's preferably called ‘bushido’; the way of the warrior. And finally… forget about it.” After he said all that, Silver turned around, away from her, and got back to wiping the tables.

"But… why not? You're the only one who's highly disciplined in 'bushido', or whatever you call it, and it's way better than wearing those skin-tight outfits and robotic suits." Starlight said. "Why can't you teach me?”

“Because I’m not interested in taking on a student; mostly because I spent my whole life and even childhood, training and perfecting my skill in the arts of the samurai culture. And I was self-taught. And second, I have a lot of things going on in my life that don't give me the time to train a student.” Silver exclaimed.

“But the others said you helped train them?” Starlight responded.

“No, I was helping them to make sure that they don’t get killed. That’s different.” Silver stated. “Also they all don’t have the willingness to even test themselves in bushido and the livelihood of the samurai. There are a lot of requirements in it too. You don’t just become a samurai, you’re born into it. And the only way out of it… is to die as one.” Silver explained. “And when you fight in battle, you don’t expect to survive… you expect to die. And that is the kind of dedication in the life of a warrior such as the samurai.”

"If that's what it takes to be a samurai, then I'll accept the risks. It's better than watching from the sidelines doing nothing while my friends risk their lives to protect this world," Starlight said.

Silver just stood there flabbergasted and disbelieved by Starlight’s statement.

“What part of ‘dying’ did you not understand?!” Silver asked as he was grabbing at his own hair and threatening to tear some off his head. “Also, even though it's noble and righteous of them, I pretty much don’t give a crap what they do. Or for the world. I’m just a simple man making his way in life. And trying to hold onto what I have left.” he said.

Starlight stood there in silence after the response Silver gave. And after that moment of silence, she spoke once more.

“While I don’t know what has happened that made you like this. And I don’t know what this world has done to you to make you shun it. And I also don’t know why you feel like you are hanging on to everything you have left, as you say.” Starlight exclaimed. “But you’re the only one who could guide me to be able to protect those close to me. And you have the knowledge of what I need to learn. And after you give me that knowledge and you show me the way of the warrior, I promise I won’t let my involvement affect what goes on in your life. And I promise that you’ll never see me again.” she said.

After hearing her brief, yet strong statement, Silver was left silent and perplexed. The young man placed his hand on his forehead as he was sighing to himself as he turned away from her and got back to cleaning the tables. Believing that he was still refusing, Starlight sighs in defeat as she turns her back towards him.

But before she made a footstep, she heard this.

“We start your training tomorrow.”

Starlight's entire world lit up, grateful and relieved that her words finally got through to him. "Thank you so much, Silver! I promise, you won't regret it!" She replied back before she walked towards the front door and exited the restaurant.

Silver looks back over his shoulder a little after Starlight left the establishment, bearing an unnerved expression on his face; however, a slight hint of wonderment was hidden in his eyes.

“I hope I won’t” He spoke silently as he averted his eyes back onto his task at hand. Having finally done what she came out here to do, Starlight left the establishment and headed back to the hideout afterwards.

Moments after she left, Eternal shows up at the restaurant.

"Why, hello there and welcome to Sugar Cafe. How can I help you?" Mrs. Cake asked.

"I'd like to order the Party-sized Platter. I've got a lot of friends waiting back at… my place that are hungry from a long workout. Think you can fix that up for me, please?" Eternal asked.

"Of course, dear. Since this is a to-go order, it will take some time to fully prepare it. Why don't you go ahead and wait inside or you can wait outside. It should take a good 20 minutes." Mrs. Cake said. The thicc desert MILF then headed into the kitchen to get started on the Party-sized platter right away.

Eternal decided to wait by one of the tables and sat down, minding his own business. A couple of minutes go by suddenly…

*YELP*

Silver’s head raised up as he heard Mrs. Cake yelping and a loud crashing sound.

"What the?!" Eternal jolted up. He ran towards the counter and leaned over to peek over towards the kitchen. "Mrs. Cake! Is everything alright?" he called out.

"Umm… yes, but… I seemed to have had an accident," Mrs. Cake called out. "I know it's not allowed, but… can I get a little help, please?"

"Hold on, I'll be right there," Eternal shouted before leaping over the counter. He rushed into the kitchen.

Silver said nothing for a while, but he heard of the situation, so he dropped his rag and cleaner spray and rushed towards the kitchen.

The two young men arrive in the kitchen to find Mrs. Cake on the ground. There was a wet floor without a wet floor sign on it and the Party-sized Platter she was working on, had spilled over. But there were only a few chips and nacho cheese. And some of the food got on her dress. Her backside was wet from the floor.

Both boys rushed over and helped Mrs. Cake back up to her feet, dusting off some of the chips from her dress. Silver went and got some napkins to clean the nacho cheese stains.

“Are you ok, Mrs.Cake? Are you hurt anywhere?” Silver asked with concern.

"I might've hurt my back a little, but I'll be fine. Silver, would you mind taking over with Eternal's order and getting his Party-sized Platter ready? I need to step into my office." Mrs. Cake asked.

“Sure, Mrs.Cake, I'll get on it.” Silver responded, before he then looked to Eternal, with hesitation, but he was too busy to do it himself. “Eternal, could you help Mrs.Cake to her office. She’ll point the way. But after you get her there, I expect you to head straight back to your table. No. Funny. Business.” He stared at the red-haired young man with a stern look.

"I don't do funny business. Also, what do you think I am, some kind of a home-wrecker?" Eternal asked, quivering an eyebrow.

“JUST GO!” Silver silently instructed him.

"Silver Scorpion!" Mrs. Cake scolded before turning to Eternal. "I apologize for his outburst."

"No harm, no foul," Eternal shrugged it off before helping her to her office, leaving Silver with the task he was given. The two slowly exited the kitchen and headed off into a room on the far left marked "Manager's Office." They reached the door and Eternal opened it up and Mrs. Cake was brought inside. He closed the door before setting her down on her seat.

"Thank you for your help, young man. I really appreciate it," she said with gratitude.

"It's no problem at all, Mrs. Cake. I… know this might not be orthodox, but would it be alright if I massaged your back? Maybe I can help fix it." Eternal offered.

"A massage? I don't know, I mean… I'd hate to keep you from your other activities," Mrs. Cake said with hesitation.

"If you don't want one, I understand. I won't force you." Eternal said in understanding. He waited for a while until he finally got the picture and was about to head out. But then, Mrs. Cake grabbed him by the arm.

"I guess the pain is a bit unbearable. Go ahead and massage away." Mrs. Cake said.

"You sure?" Eternal asked, a bit uncertain.

"Positive. Who am I to deny such a kind young man?" she asked. Well, since she's not denying it, Eternal shrugged and just went with it. He got behind Mrs. Cake and helped stood her up and leaned her against the desk. He put his hand on her back and put pressure points on each point, starting with her lower back.

He took his time, loosening up the kinks in her back and Mrs. Cake just moaned lightly as the pain went away. He massaged her back up and down, even massaged her upper back for good measure so she can feel more rejuvenated. Mrs. Cake moaned in relief some more.

It got to the point where she began to envision her husband giving her the same treatment. She moved her hips in a gyrating motion, humming in delight, her eyes still closed and without even thinking, she blurted out… "Give it to me now, honey."

"Say what?!" Eternal's voice rang out, snapping her out of her daydream.

"Oh my!" she exclaimed. "D-D-Did I say that out loud?" she asked, blushing deeply.

"I'd be lying if I said "no." I assume you and your husband have a pretty lively love life," Eternal implied, looking away, blushing.

“Well, Carrot and I have a wonderful love life; our marriage is strong and we have two kids….” Mrs.Cake was blushing a bit, like she was hesitant at first to reveal she and her husband’s sex life. “As for our… sex life…” She tried not to speak more, but she couldn’t stop herself from blurting it out. “...My husband was a real monster in bed back in our youth.”

Eternal still had a noticeable blush on his face, but cleared his throat. "So, in other words… he hasn't been as sexually active now, I take it." he implied.

"Afraid so. But please, don't worry about it. These things happen to married couples." Mrs. Cake said, looking down.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Cake. Honestly, I wish there was more I could do. Especially when it comes to your… intimate love life. I won't lie, you are still very beautiful and radiant. Motherhood hasn't put a damper on you one bit. In fact… I'd say motherhood was kind to you." Eternal went on before realizing… "Uh… sorry if I overstepped and took it too far."

"There's no need to worry. I'm actually flattered that you find me attractive. Silver even commented the same way. Though he didn’t stutter like you did.” Mrs.Cake chuckled.

"Heh… guess it's because when I look at you, I feel like my heart is skipping a beat. It makes me feel the same way when I'm with Sunset," Eternal chuckled nervously.

"Oh? So you find me attractive in that way?" Mrs. Cake asked, a bit teasingly.

"I… well… yes," he replied, now sweating a little.

"Well, aren't you a sweetie? So you're saying that I, a married woman in her mid 30s, am turning on a big, strong, young man like you?" she asked, teasingly. She clinged to Eternal, wrapping her arm around his arm, her bosom squishing against his upper arm.

"Uh… Mrs. Cake? You're uh… kinda… umm…" he stopped, losing his words.

"Please…" she said in a hushed tone before whispering in his ear. "Call me Cup Cake." And finished with a kiss on his cheek.

At that moment, she had flipped a switch within him and he cupped her cheeks before placing his lips onto hers. Cup yelped before melting into the kiss and held the young man in her arms, thrusting her tongue within his mouth. They exchanged saliva like crazy, not caring one bit how wrong it was, but how good it felt.

Eternal reached down and grabbed her plump, round, luscious ass. She moaned and she rubbed her hand against his junk, feeling it get harder the more she touched it.

They break away for air, panting heavily before shushing each other. "We don't want anyone outside to hear us." Cup Cake whispered.

"What shall we do?" Eternal asked quietly.

Cup Cake smiled and giggled in a sultry tone before getting down on her knees and undoing Eternal's belt. She pulls down his pants and boxer briefs, causing his long, hard rod to poke out, standing at attention.

"Let mommy take care of you," she whispered. Her soft, tender fingers grabbed a hold of his massive thing and jacked him off for a bit before giving it a few licks. Eternal bit his lower lip, inhaling deeply so he wouldn't make a sound.

The sweet MILF servicing him enjoyed the expression on his face. She goes further and takes in his whole dick, slurping and bobbing her head back and forth. 'My word, he might just be even bigger than my husband! I might just get addicted to this young man.' she thought, slurping even more hungrily.

'I should be… doing this with Sunset! What is wrong with me?! Mmmph… but… Mrs. Cake still deserves to be satisfied.' he thought. He couldn't prevent himself from putting his hand on her soft, silky pink hair. He had her deep-throated him and she didn't mind.

She upped the ante a bit by unbuttoning and removing her shirt, releasing her massive ‘cupcakes’ from their fabric prison. Her jiggling globes of love looked to be HH-cup. Mrs. Cake then pulls her head back, allowing Eternal’s cock to be free from her maw. Then she squeezes the young man’s rod in between her breasts.

"How are my big girls? Do they turn you on, sweetie?" she asked.

"They're fantastic, Cup Cake." Eternal whispered back. Before long, he thrusted his hips, making his dick poke in and out of her soft, large bosom. She kept her mouth open, sucking on the upper part of his dick while keeping it contained in her sweet sacks.

Her incredible skills were quickly drawing him close. "I… I can't… keep it in much longer!" he grunted quietly. Cup Cake rubbed her breasts up and down on his cock faster and sucked on his dick harder and more hungrily like she hadn't been fed in a long time.

Eternal couldn't contain himself and thrusted deep inside her throat, shooting chunks of cum down her throat and into her stomach. She takes big gulps while swirling her tongue around his huge meat pole. She then lets go of his still-hardened shaft with an audible pop.

"Oh, wow… you were really pent-up, weren't you?" she asked quietly.

"You… could say that," Eternal panted heavily.

"I thought so. In that case…" Cup Cake paused and then removed the rest of her uniform, showing off her thicc, nude, plump, curvaceous body. She turned around and presented her big ass to the horny red-head. "...why don't you empty out your remaining supply inside mommy? I'm on a pill." she assured him.

"...It's official… I have fallen in love with a thicc, older, attractive woman." he uttered before cupping her jiggling cheeks. "Here it comes," he growled before thrusting his dick into her tight, wet, sweet love dungeon. He thrusted deep, clapping his hips with her cheeks, fucking her like a vicious predator. Cup Cake stifled her moans from how huge he was. Her insides squeezed his phat, strong cock as it shaped her insides with its mighty girth.

Eternal reached over and grabbed her soft, squishy sky blue bosoms. Her breath became shaky and a huge blush formed on her face.

'He's more wild than Carrot! Fuck, yes! Ah, more! MORE! Make me feel young again!' she thought to herself. She turned to Eternal and the two shared a passionate kiss together.

Mrs. Cake then stopped him so she could move herself to face him and then took off his shirt for him, exposing his well-toned body. She licked her lips and pulled the boy back into a hot, passionate kiss. He reinserted his cock inside the MILF's pussy and plowed her like crazy.

She kept him locked in place with her long, thick legs around his waist. She didn't want him to leave until he filled her up.

The two went at it for a couple of minutes; maybe even 5 minutes. Eternal did not cease his powerful thrusts, and Mrs. Cake felt her entire body grow numb. And during that time, Eternal's cock began to grow inside her, ready to blow soon. The tip prodding against her womb.

"Ready for this?" he growled, grinning.

"Do it, honey! Make me your mommy," she urged in his ear. Eternal nodded and thrusted deeper and harder, driving this horny MILF crazy. In no time, his cock entered her womb and exploded his hot, white seed into her love chambers. His cock pulsed and jerked, emptying out his pent up orgasm inside this sexy mama. She was silenced with a deep kiss and moaned into it. Her pussy squirted all over her chair and Eternal's crotch.

Her belly slowly bloated to the size of a volleyball before both parties calmed down. Their lips part from each other, their breaths slightly heavy.

"You are one amazing lover, Cup Cake," he whispered.

"Same to you, sweetie." she replied.

The two waited a little longer before they completely separated and redressed themselves. "Mrs. Cake, before I go, I want you to know something," he said.

"What's that?" she asked.

"I can tell that you're gonna be wanting more, even after our "special moment." Which is why implore you on this piece of friendly advice; Assert yourself. If your husband won't do it, then show him that you're still a woman with needs and desires. Make him remember the good times you two had in your youth. You might reawaken his inner monster." Eternal explained.

"Hmm… you know what, you're right! I think I'll do just that. He's ignored my needs for so long and I think it's time I changed that. Thanks, dearie." she replied as she's looking at the clock above the door. "Oh my, look at the time. Your order should be ready."

"My order…" Eternal paused when he realized… "Uh-oh."

With Eternal’s fate yet to be decided; Meanwhile, over in the downtown district, in the home of Canterlot’s powerful crime lord, Ember was laying in her bed, observing the fire-ruby necklace that Thorax gave to her yesterday. Feeling a hurricane of emotions, and a couple of emotions that she is still questioning.

Seeing the necklace brought happy and painful memories of the life she had before; back when her mother was alive. Back when those Victory Squad bastards weren’t around. And yet, the necklace also made her recall back the time she spent with Thorax; of how thoughtful and kind he is, and how he just makes her feel… normal… normal than she had ever been.

Ember held the necklace close to her chest as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath through her nose, as a warm smile drew on her face.

But soon her quiet time was interrupted as she heard a knock on her bedroom door.

"Y-Y-Yeah, what is it?" Ember asked, composing herself, hiding her gift.

The door opened into the room, and the person that knocked revealed to be her father’s head enforcer, Scarface.

“Scarface? What are you doing here?” Ember asked as she was confused by the man’s presence.

Scarface said nothing, as expected since he doesn’t talk much, and instead he approaches her bedside and he reaches his arm forward, and directly towards her, and in his hand was an envelope.

Ember looks at the envelope in Scarface’s hands, then looks up towards him, then looks back at the envelope, and finally looks back up towards him again.

“Is this for me?” She asked.

Scarface nodded in reply.

With that, the young lady takes the envelope from his hand, and soon Scarface turns around and leaves the bedroom while closing the door behind him.

"Alright… let's see what's inside," she said to herself. She opens up the envelope and pulls out… her report card.

Now her confusion switched to anxiety as she looked away from the paper in an instant; only barely seeing it for a moment. It's her report card on her grades in her classes at CHS. Ember was a little uneasy about what she might expect, not that she was doubting all the times Thorax tutored her, but it still had her fearful. The deciding fate of her future was in the palm of her hands… literally.

‘Ok, ok, ok, ok, just relax, Ember. Just relax. It's not the end of the world… BUT IT COULD BE FOR ME! Ok, calm down. Just calm down, girl. Remember, you worked your ass off for a long month; you can’t back out now… BUT IT WOULDN’T HURT IF I DID, RIGHT!?!’ Her thoughts were at conflict with each other.

With all these conflicting emotions stressing her out, she quickly went for it and opened it up to reveal the results. And to her surprise… The results were unbelievable. As expected with P.E, she got an A+. And not just that, her report card had A's AND B's in all her other subjects. English, she got an A. Math, a B+. History, A-. Science B-. Art, A+, and finally, a B+ in physics, one of her toughest classes yet.

Ember was astonished by the results. "No. Fucking. Way!" she said, forming a smile. "YAHOO!!! I DID IT!!! DAD, COME IN HERE, QUICK!!!" she called out.

Right away, the sound of heavy footsteps came rushing up towards her bedroom door and her father came in. "What is it, Ember? Is something wrong?" Torch asked.

"No, far from it, dad! Check out my report card!" she said, running to him and showing him the results of his final grades. He checked the results and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Not a single C, D, or even an F?" he asked proudly. He turned to his precious girl and smiled down at her. "Ember, you've made me so proud of you! I knew you could do it!" He wraps his arms around his daughter, pulling her into a big hug as the two smiled and laughed.

Honestly, this was the happiest the two had ever been in, well, years.

After the two embrace for several minutes, Torch releases his daughter as Ember rushes towards her beside the table and reaches for her phone and starts dialing a number.

“And who are you calling?” Torch asked with suspicion; with his smile not fading from his face.

“No one,” Ember responded quickly.

“It's that Thorax boy, isn’t it?” Torch claimed, with his smile growing wider.

“Dad, get out.” Ember replied, while chuckling as she had no bone in her body to be angry right now.

Torch chuckled as he had his hands up. “Ok, ok,” he said as he walked out of the room, leaving Ember by herself. She then dialed Thorax's phone number and waited for him to pick up. On the 3rd ring…

"Hello?" Thorax answered on the other line.

"Yo, Thorax, it's Ember." she replied.

"Oh, hi Ember. What'd you need?" he asked.

"Dude, I wanna thank you big time. All those tutoring sessions we had, I managed to get my report card in and got A's and B's on it. Nothing less than that," she said, excitedly.

"You did? That's great, Ember. I'm really happy for you." Thorax replied.

"Like I said, I owe you a big thanks for saving my butt. If you hadn't tutored me, I'd be spending my entire life in a cage for sure." she said.

"That's very nice of you to say, Ember. But you don't have to owe me anything, it was my extreme pleasure helping you out." Thorax said.

“Uh, wrong. I kinda do owe you a lot of things. I mean I threatened you when we first met and I socked you in the face on the first day you tutored me. So… at least let me treat you with a drink or something to thank you for putting up with me.” Ember stated.

"You sure you wanna do this?" Thorax asked.

"I won't take "no" for an answer," she persists.

Thorax sighed. "Alright, you win. If you insist. Should I come over or do you want me to wait for you here?"

“Let's meet up at Sugar Cafe again; treats are on me. How does that sound?” Ember proposed.

"Okay then, I'll be there." Thorax responded.

“Great. See you there.” Ember said, with a small hint of excitement in her voice. And once she hung up on the phone, she started to cheer like a school girl out of nowhere. It took her a second to recompose herself and become conflicted again with her new emotions.

‘Ugh, I seriously need to get these emotions of mine in check.’ She thought to herself. Then she got up from her bed and walked towards her closet. ‘Well, better change into a fresh set of clothes for my hangout.’ she said mentally to herself.

She opened the closet and scoured through her clothes and finally picked her preferred casual clothing to wear. Then she moved to her drawers and picked up a fresh pair of underwear and bra. Once she has selected her clothes for the day, she moves to her bedroom door and locks it, so that no one would walk in on her when she’s changing.

After that, she placed her new clothes on the bed and then she stripped out of her old clothes, till she was fully naked. Before she could put on her new clothes, she soon glances herself in the bedroom mirror.

In the nude, Ember's body was flawless. A few muscles here and there, but still slim as can be, complete with a busty EE-cup cleavage and 6-pack. In a word, she's fantastic. She turned her body a bit to take a look at her ass; it was toned and firm, but was a good size. Pretty much, she had an athletic body due to her time training in martial arts and self-defense classes back in the day.

Though, as she was checking herself out, in her mind, she was curious about one thing.

'Hmm… how good would I look with my dragon features?' she thought. Curious, she transforms into her dragon form with her eyes closed and once it is complete, she opens her eyes to check herself out.

Her height went from 5’6” to 7 feet tall, making her easily tower the average height of a pro basketball player. Despite her sturdy scales, her body felt smooth. Though she did keep her toned stomach, guess she kept one thing from her human body. She spread her wings wide, and she felt a great sense of dominance while displaying them. Her bust even got bigger from its already flawless EE-cup to a whopping H-cup. She was even more curvy and her ass had grown a bit, too. In fact, her ass would give Kim Kardasian’s a run for her money.

Ember checks her dragon body out and she smirks with pride. She cupped her huge tits in front of the mirror, before she turned so she could her phat ass in the reflection as she rubbed it with her hand.

“Eat your heart out, Kim Kardasian.” She proclaimed with her smirk never leaving her face. Feeling good about herself, another thought crossed her mind.

An idea that has her blushing and feeling dirty.

She grabbed her phone and then laid herself down on her bed. She puts her phone above her using her tail and poses herself with her legs spread wide open, revealing her hidden treasure. "I guess having a tail has its uses," she chuckles before taking a selfie.

Once she took the selfie, she reached her hand to grab her phone from her tail and she inspected the photo to see herself in “all her glory”.

"Wow, I bet a lot of guys would wanna fuck me. Hell, I'd even fuck me." she said, admiring her hot, fantastic body. “I bet even Thorax would…” She soon realized not only what she was about to say, but also noticed that she was about to hit the share button on her phone and she silenced herself while halting her tail from doing the unthinkable.

“What… the fuck… was I saying?” Ember asked herself. Did she just say something dirty with Thorax? And was she close to sending the photo to him?!

‘WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!?’ She screamed in her mind. 'I CAN'T GO SHOWING HIM MY PRIVATES! WHERE THE FUCK IS MY HEAD?!'

As she's gathering her thoughts, she reaches for her phone, only to discover her worst nightmares come to life. The text box was open and her naked photo was in it and the person she sent it to… Thorax.

"No… No!" Ember said. 'SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!' she screamed in her head.

Meanwhile, over at Thorax’s home.

Standing in front of his bedroom mirror, Thorax is fixing up his tie and trying to make himself presentable for his hangout with Ember. The young geek was overwhelmed with anxiety and slight eagerness.

He has come to enjoy hanging out with Ember; in fact, if he was being honest, he spent time with her more than he did with Spike. Though it's not that he’s not friends with Spike anymore, it's just that for the past year and these past few months, he never saw Spike around. Except with the Rainbooms and those new guys that he barely knew.

Honestly, Thorax felt that he lost touch with Spike because he was hanging out with people he didn’t know or felt uncomfortable to be around.

But meeting Ember. Sure it was scary and traumatic at first, but along the way, he got to know her better and she turned out to be a nice person. He never felt happy to have a new friend that he could enjoy spending time with.

Just then, while he's gathering his thoughts, he hears his phone vibrate on his night stand. He goes over and checks his phone and sees he got a text from Ember. "Hmm… I wonder what she wants." he said.

As soon as he opens up the text, his face turns crimson red and backs up. "YIPE!!!" he exclaimed, accidentally dropping the phone on the carpet floor. He goes to pick it up and peeks at the contents with one eye. There, on his screen, is a picture of Ember in her dragon form… completely naked, showing off her hidden treasure.

And upon gazing at the photo on the screen, Thorax.exe had an error, his mind crashed and his entire body was left paralyzed. 'I have seen many things in my life, but… never something as… majestic as that,' he thought.

Soon, he had lift-off from a major nose bleed launch, lifting him high into the air and then landing on his back with a loud thud, still in a daze.

Back in Ember’s bedroom.

As Thorax was having brain error and suffering blood loss, Ember remained laying on her bed, still in her dragon form, as she was now in a curled-up fetal position. And she’s likely having a panic attack right about now.

And having so many regrets.

“My life is over… My dignity is destroyed… Thorax now thinks I’m a fucking slut… God kill me now.” She mutters to herself.

Within the Spirit Realm.

Meanwhile, as everything was going on in the mortal realm, Aurora, along with Ava, Nova, and Crystal, had returned back to the Spirit Realm, with a sole purpose of informing their other sisters of the recent events in the human world.

The 4 dragon goddesses flew across the Spirit Realm, on their way to the temple where their other sisters would be in this dimension.

As they were flying, Ava had some questions about this objective.

“A-Are we sure we should tell them about this? I mean, can’t we take it slow and put their minds at ease before we tell them about… you know who?” the water dragon goddess asked her sisters.

"You know as well as I that the longer we hesitate, the stronger that fiend gets and the more of a dangerous threat he becomes. More than he already is," Nova stated.

“And knowing that he remained in hiding all these centuries, makes it all the more questionable of how much power he’s achieved. And knowing that he’s come out of hiding makes it clear that he’s preparing for something.” Crystal added.

“Which is why we must inform Lumina and the others, before our enemy could take the chance to make his move.” Aurora claimed.

After a brief small talk, the 4 dragon goddesses arrived at a floating island which had a Japanese temple stationed upon it. The four of them slowed their descent before touching down on the island. Upon arriving, they all head straight towards the temple.

And once they arrived at the temple, the four entered without knocking or making their presence known, as this was an urgent matter.

And upon entering, they gazed at all 4 of their sisters; Lumina, Malis, Terra, and Hora, standing within the main hall of the temple. All four were surprised by their arrival.

“Aurora, sisters, I did not expect your return from the human realm so soon.” Lumina said.

"This had better be good, dear sisters." Hora stated.

“Oh believe us, Hora. This is anything but good.” Nova exclaimed.

“What do you mean, Nova?” Terra asked in confusion.

“It's better if Aurora explains it,” Ava suggested as Aurora took a step forward.

“Sisters… A dark day has fallen upon our very existence… as well as the fate of the mortal realm.” Aurora spoke. “For an ancient enemy that was long thought to have perished centuries ago… has returned.” she stated.

"An ancient enemy? Are you…" Hora was about to connect the dots.

"Yes… I'm afraid… Desuhantā… has returned," Aurora confirmed.

A chill ran down the spines of the other 4 dragon goddesses, for that name has forever haunted their every memory and nightmare.

"This is most troubling indeed!" Hora said, looking pale.

“B-But… How is that possible?” Malis said in disbelief.

"Where did you hear about that monster's whereabouts? Has he learned of your presence in the mortal realm?" Terra asked.

“No… However, my mate, Silver Scorpion, had encountered Desuhantā yesterday, and engaged him in combat. Silver was no match to him and he was wounded, though he was fortunate to survive the encounter. The scars that were inflicted on him… were caused by the very blade that had slain thousands of our kin.” Aurora explained.

Lumina, Hora, Terra, and Malis were overwhelmed with fear, knowing of what weapon that their sister speaks of.

“The Sword of Cursed Souls?” Lumina asked.

Aurora nodded in reply. “I’m afraid so, sister.”

"I'm surprised that even a mere mortal survived a battle with that ominous killer." Terra said.

“Well, I'm not surprised. Since he banged Aurora and Nova about a few days ago.” Ava spoke loudly, thinking as her way of lightening the mood… but she now realized that she shouldn’t have said that.

"He… did… WHAT to Nova?" Hora asked in shock and anger.

"Seriously, Nova? How far have you fallen? Sleeping with a mortal human?" Terra asked.

"Goodness!" Malis said in surprise, blushing.

“Hey! Get off my back, Terra! What I do in my personal time is none of your fucking business.” Nova replied with her usually hotheaded attitude, before it quickly changed to a flustered expression with her cheeks blushing redder than they already are. “Plus its not my fault that he’s a good fuck.” she said with a timid tone of voice.

"The audacity of that outburst!" Lumina gasped.

"Can we just change the subject, please?! There's more important things to worry about than some human bedding our sisters!” Malis shouted out loud.

Her sisters stared at her with shocked expressions by her unexpected tone of voice. Malis notices their stares and soon she reverts back to her timid personality.

"Thank you, Malis. Now, how can we get rid of Desuhanta? He has to have some kind of weakness we should know about!" Hora said. "Aurora, how did your mate, Silver, fair against this menace?" she asked.

“He barely survived his first engagement. And… I fear what's to come.” Aurora expresses her worry.

Lumina could sense and see her sister’s fear and despair. For she knew that Desuhantā was an ancient warrior who took pride in his battles.

And his drive to prove his mettle and skill.

“Then it's been settled.” Lumina claimed as she looked towards every single one of her sisters. “Desuhantā has once again challenged the mettle of man…” She spoke to them before she averted her eyes towards Aurora. “... And now it's Silver Scorpion… who will represent it.”
