TOMZ POV
I slowly awoke with a yawn as I rubbed my eyes to get the sleep out of my system. I got off the couch as I stretched. I then looked back seeing Twilight and Spike still sleeping. I chuckle as I made my way towards the kitchen and started to prepare breakfast. I decided we will have something easy on the stomach so I just settled for sandwiches and oatmeal. As I was making breakfast, I heard a yawn coming from the living room as I leaned back and gazed at the couch. Twilight woke up as she yawned and stretched.
"Morning Twilight" I greeted her.
The violet unicorn only sends me a lazy wave as she dragged herself up the stairs and into the shower as I could hear the rush of water. I chuckled once more as I started to prepare the table with spoons and bowls of oatmeal and a plate full of sandwiches. Since the ponies didn't eat meat the sandwiches were made out of cheese, lettuce, and sliced tomato. I would put some mayo in there as well but it seems mayo doesn't exist here.
"You know your quote the host Tomz. Even though this isn't your home" Frisk told me.
"yeah well, since I'm staying with Twilight for the time being at least I want to help around the house" I responded as I heard hoofsteps and see Twilight walking down the stairs refreshed. She then greeted me with a big smile on her face.
"Oh good morning Tomz. I'm sorry about yesterday. I was just so exhausted from the work at the farm that I just couldn't stay up any longer." Twilight said as she sat down on the table.
"No pancakes or waffles today?" She asked.
"Nope. I decided we will have something easy today. I hope you don't mind dear" I tell Twilight who shooks her head.
"Its completely fine Tomz." She told me as she took a sandwich and started to eat.
"Spike isn't up yet?" I asked Twilight as I grab a bowl of oatmeal for myself.
"No. I will let him sleep in today. He earned after all the hard work on the farm yesterday." Twilight told me as I nodded in understanding.
As we ate my mind went back to Daniel's Equestria. The human was strange, to say the least. From what charlie recorded in her notes, he's friendly and from his actions, I can tell he's a good guy to hang out with. The only thing that was bothering me is that he would start to cry out of nowhere. Now I didn't know why was he like that. Maybe something happened to him that made him like that or he has depression. But one thing was certain. I will have to make more trips into his realm and find out more about him. Once I decide that the time is right I will meet him in person. I then remembered that to stay here I have to get my own place to live if I ever visit this realm in the future.
"Hey, Twilight do you know some houses that are on sale right now? I would like to get my own place so that I can get out of your hair." I asked Twilight as she swallowed her bite and looked at me.
"I think there are a few houses up for sale, but we will have to visit the City Hall about that. But don't you like it here? I mean I told you can stay with me" Twilight told me as she finished her sandwich.
"Don't get me wrong. I like being here but I think I already imposed long enough. Plus I'm used to living by myself." I answered the unicorn pony.
Twilight nodded. "If that's what you think is best, then I won't argue with you. But it was nice to have your company" Twilight then pouted. "I'll miss your delicious pancakes."
I laughed as I patted her head. "Its fine Twilight dear. If you ever wish to have my pancakes all you have to do is ask" I said as I finished my oatmeal.
The two of us then left the library as we started to walk towards the city hall. The ponies smiled and waved at us as we returned the gesture. Soon enough we entered the city hall as we approached the pony at the desk. She was a unicorn pony with a blue fur, red and green striped mane and tail, and blue eyes. The pony was wearing an office suit. We walked towards her as Twilight started to talk with her.
"Hello" Twilight greeted the pony sitting behind the desk.
The pony lifted her gaze and started to talk.
"Oh hello, Twilight, what brings you here today?" She asked.
Twilight smiled back. "My friend here is looking for a place of his own so I was wondering if Mayor Mare is available"
The pony behind the desk looked at me as she flashed me a smile.
"Oh hello. My name is Emerald Shadow. I'm Mayor Mare's secretary." She introduced herself.
"Tomz. Tomz the Nephilim." I greeted her back.
"It's nice to meet you Tomz. I believe the mayor is free right now." Emerald told us a she got up from her chair and walked through the door.
Seconds later a mare walked out. She had cream light brown fur, wavy gray mane, blue eyes, and was wearing glasses. She also wore a business suit.
"Ah Twilight, hello. Emerald told me that your friend is looking for a place to settle?" The mare in question said.
"Yes. Mayor mare this is Tomz. A friend of mine. He was staying with me in the library until now." Twilight introduced me.
"Pleasure sweetheart" I greeted back.
The Mayor giggled. "well aren't you a charmer. Come with me, I believe we have a few houses up for sale. What kind of house were you looking to buy it anyway?" She asked.
"I was hoping if you had some house that's on the outskirts of town. I'm used to living by myself soo..." I told her as we entered her office.
The Mayor put a hand under her chin. "I believe we have one house that's on sale and it's on the outskirts like you requested." She told me as she pulled up a folder from her desk drawer.
She put the folder on her desk in front of me and twilight. I took the folder and opened it. Inside it, there were a couple of pictures of each room. It was a two-story house it had a living room, kitchen, front porch, a master bedroom, two guest rooms along with a bathroom and a storage room. The prize below was 450, 000 Bits, furniture, attic, and basement included. From the looks of it, the house looked semi-modern. I smiled and reached into my pulled out a coin purse that I may or may not conjure up and paid. Twilight stared at me in shock as her jaw was hanging. She must have wondered where did I get such money. The mayor accepted the coin purse as she handed me some papers.
"I need you to sign these papers about the insurance along with the bill. Once you signed that I will show you to your house" Mayor mare told me as I reached into my jacket and pulled out a pencil and signed the papers which the Mayor mare took and sealed then she put the papers back its file case and handed it to Emerald.
"Now with that taken care of, please follow me," Mayor mare told me and Twilight.
We left the City hall as we were starting to follow Mayor mare through the ponyville as we were walking Twilight pulled on my sleeve hard as she looked at me dead in the eyes.
"Where did you get such money !?" She asked me as her eyes still widened in shock.
I laughed a little. "That my little pony friend is a secret" I answered her.
Twilight once again pouted as she started to beg me to tell her how I did it but I kept refusing until she gave up. Now we were entering the outskirts of ponyville following a dirt road until we walked up the house I bought. The house looked nice. It had a big front porch with double doors to enter and a single door to the side. The second floor had three windows which I guess where the three bedrooms. Mayor Mare lead us inside as I started to look around. It had a big living room that was connected to the kitchen. The living room had a small table with two couches and an armchair. To the side was the chimney. I then walked into the kitchen. The kitchen was a medium-sized that also had a kitchen island. Stove, fridge, sink, and cabinets. I walked back to the main hallway as at the far end was the bathroom and across from that was the storage room that also had the entrance to the basement. I climbed the stairs to the second floor. The hall had three doors to the left one door to the right. The one on the right was labeled "Attic". I then started to explore the three bedrooms. Each had a bed with a closet, a desk, and a window. I walked back to the hallway and entered the door that leads to the attic as I was climbing up the stairs once more. The attic was quite big and of course empty. The attic had a single-window as well. Once I explored the attic I teleported back to the main hallway as I entered the door in the right that was labeled "Storage/Basement". The storage room was also a decent size as I opened the door of the basement and climbed down a set of stairs again. The basement was in the dark until I found a light switch and flipped it on. The basement was also a decently big with a few cabinets and small windows.
With my exploration over I teleported back to the main hallway once more as Twilight and Mayor Mare were waiting for me.
"So what do you think? Do you like it?" Mayor asked me as I nodded to her with a big smile on my face.
"Its perfect Mayor. Thank you." I responded to her as I once again left the house as I looked at it again.

(this is how the house looks like)
Mayor Mare smiled "Well its a pleasure doing business with you Tomz. You can call me Mayor Mare." The mayor told me as she finally introduced herself.
After that, we started making our way back to Ponyville. Once we were back in town, Pinkie threw me a "Congratulations on buying a house" party which in my opinion was ridiculous but I let her have her fun as in the end all of us had a great time. After the party ended we all said our goodbyes as the girls gave me a group hug. As I was walking back to the house that I finally bought, Rainbow flew over to me and asked me one question I still didn't have an answer for.
"Hey, Tomz. So have you decided yet? She asked me.
I looked at her confused. "Have I decided on....what?" I asked the rainbow pegasus pony.
Rainbow rolled her eyes. "You know...you said that you will think about training me."
"Ohhhh....she was asking me about that....okay let's layout my options here. She could get faster at her flying and agility....but...then I would actually have to do something...which I don't like." I thought to myself.
" Oh come on! Give the girl a try. Besides, you could use all the free time when you're not reading or observing Daniel" Frisk told me.
"Yeah! Besides its not like she can hit you. Your still way faster then her" Jack told me.
"And on top of that you will have fun!!" Emily exclaimed with joy.
I sighed "Alright fine. If you guys think that's the best. Then who am I to say no." I respond back in my mind.
I then look at Rainbow with one of my grins plastered on my face. "Alright Rainbow I will train you"
Rainbow clenched her fist and rose her hand in the air " YES!!!"
My grin then widen. "IF you will able to land a hit on me"
All excitement that Rainbow currently had disappeared as she was looking at me with eyes widened in shock and disbelief at the trick I just pulled of.
"WHAT!!? But that's not fair!!! After I saw your fight with Shining at Canterlot there is no way I can land a solid hit on you." Rainbow shouted.
"Hey, you're the one who asked me to train you. My training my rules" I told her as I kept that sharp tooth grin on my face.
Rainbow crossed her arms as she smirked at me "Challange accepted"
I nodded to her as she told me she had to practice on her stunts and flew away leaving a rainbow trail, I continued to make my way towards my house. Once inside I explored the house once more just to get familiar with the place. With that, I pulled out a sheet of paper and a pencil as I started to make a shopping list off all the food and groceries I need. After I was done I stuck the paper on the fridge. I looked outside seeing it was still mid-day. I sat down in the armchair as I started to think about what can I do to pass time.
"Wanna check up on Daniel?" David questioned.
"You know what...I was just about to do that" I answered back to David.
I took my paintbrush as I left a trail of red color and jumped in making a splash. But this time I appeared in one of many alleyways of Ponyvile.
DANIEL'S EQUESTRIA
TOMZ POV
"New day, new adventures. Let's see what our Human Daniel is up to today" I told myself as I looked around to see if the coast is clear.
Speaking of our human, there he is now" Charlie said as I felt her point at Daniel's direction.
I quickly hid as I saw him walk by. Not wanting him to get out of my sight I quickly followed sticking to the alleys and rooftops. I kept following the young human as he pulled out his phone and a pair of earphones as he put them in his ears and started to listen to music. He was making his way towards Sugarcube corner. Once he was in front of the giant gingerbread house he pushed the door open making the small bell at the top jingle. Acting quickly I dashed into the gingerbread's house wall making a small splash of color wall's colors as I was once again hidden inside the colors of the gingerbread house. I saw Daniel walk to the earth pony mare who had blue fur, pink and white swirled hair that looked oddly like Ice cream. She was wearing a white apron, wearing pink orb earrings, and had pink eyes.
"Welcome to Sugar Cube Corner," The blue mare said as she turned to Daniel
"Thank you. My name is Daniel Blaze, ma'am." Daniel greeted holding his hand out.
The blue mare smiled and shook his hand, "So you're the human I heard about! It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Mrs. Cake." She greeted.
"A fitting name for you since you're working in an amazing place like this," Daniel commented.
"Thank you, dear. Now, is there anything I can do for you?" Mrs. Cake asked.
"Actually, I was wondering if you're hiring for the moment since I don't have a job," Daniel explained.
Mrs.Cake smiled and nodded, "I see. Do you have experience working in a kitchen and know-how to bake pastries?" She asked.
"Yes ma'am," Daniel replied nodding his head.
"Alright then. Let me see how well you are when it comes to baking sweets. Please come into the kitchen." Mrs.Cake said waving her hand to make the human follow. Daniel was a little surprised that she wants to see what he is capable of when it comes to baking. He took one of his earphones out and placed his phone in his bag and walked towards a kitchen with Mrs. Cake. I was quick on my feet as I followed them in the kitchen still hiding in the colors.
"Bake me something you know, and we'll go from there." Mrs. Cakesaid.
Daniel nodded, he placed his bag and sword down and washed his hands before he started. Daniel went into the fridge and took out some eggs, butter, and milk. He then into the pantry and took out flour, vanilla sugar, and other ingredients. The human then started pouring some flour, eggs sugar, vanilla, and so forth and mixed them all in. After the batter was finished, he placed it into a baking sheet and placed it in the oven. Daniel then started on the next step in his baking processes. He made a thin sheet of dough and watered it a little. After around 5 minutes the sponge cake in the oven was done. Daniel then allowed caking to cool off for a minute until he took it off the baking sheet and placed the sponge cake in the mixing bowl.
"What do you think he's making?" I asked the souls.
"I don't know a cupcake?" Frisk asked
"Cookies then?" Sam questioned right after.
Mrs. Cake was eyeing Daniel with interest to what he was doing.
Daniel placed more sugar and a few other ingredients in the mixing bowl and started mixing until a soft gripping dough formed. He washed his hands again before he started grabbing handfuls of the caking dough. After a few good hand scoops and after placing it on the dough, Daniel put the cake back in the oven and waited.
"This is really an interesting recipe you're making Daniel. I've never seen anypony make something like this before." Mrs. Cake said.
Daniel smiled and chuckled softly, "Just wait until you try it. You'll die to have more of this special cake I'm making."
"DANNY!" Daniel and I turned and saw Pinkie Pie smiling at the human with a huge smile, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to see if I can get a job here. I'm baking a special cake, and it's almost done. It's a recipe I recently made back on Earth." Daniel explained.
Pinkie gasped "Why didn't you tell me about this!? I could've been here!" The pink party pony said.
Daniel simply chuckled, "Well, you win some, you lose some."
DING The oven dinged.
The cake was done. Daniel took some oven mitts, put them on and pulled the cake out
"OOOH! It smells good!" Pinkie chirped.
"Thanks, but there's one last ingredient to add," The human said.
"What would that be?" Pinkie asked.
Daniel smiled and answered, "Powdered sugar. A lot."
Daniel grabbed the bag of powdered sugar and poured some of it on the cake
"And done! Ladies, this special pastry is called the crumb cake." Daniel announced, holding the cake out.
" A NEW BAKE RIVAL" David Shouted while I continued to watch.
"It looks really good! Not to mention mouth-watering." Pinkie said drooling a little.
Daniel chuckled and placed it on the counter. He then grabbed a knife and cut the crumb cake into small squares. He placed a square on a plate each and gave one to Mrs. Cake and Pinkie, and took one for himself
"Take a bite while it's still hot," The human said.
Pinkie took the crumb cake and immediately took the whole thing in her mouth.
I looked at her wide-eyed. "How did she do that?" I asked myself.
Daniel lifted his own and took a bit as well. He then looked up and saw Mrs. Cake and Pinkie Pie with shocked faces.
"You two okay?" Daniel asked.
"Okay?" Pinkie asked, and then burst a huge smile, "THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER HAD!"
Daniel laughed, glad that she enjoyed the crumb cake.
"This is fantastic dear." Mrs. Cake said taking another bite of her slice, "I never knew you would be so gifted with baking goods and sweets."
He smiled and blushed a little, "Well, my mother taught me a long time ago, and still have the recipe."
"Well, your mother taught you well." She said smiling warmly at me.
"We're still stealing that recipe!!! David shouted once more.
"No we're not" Frisk answered.
"But we must have it! David argued.
" We're not stealing anything. Now be quiet Jack commented.
Pinkie gasped once more. "We need to introduce this pastry to the bakery, Mrs. Cake!" Pinkie said suddenly.
"Well, this is Daniel’s recipe, so it's up to him to decide." Mrs. Cake said.
Daniel smiled and nodded, "I'd be more than happy to give you the Crumb cake recipe, Mrs. Cake." He reached into his pocket and took out a piece of paper and a pen. He scribbled down the recipe and the instructions. He then handed the paper to Mrs. Cake, "Here you are."
Mrs. Cake smiled and took it, "Thank you, Daniel! Let me give you something for your trouble." Mrs. Cake then left the kitchen and left me and Pinkie for a second.
"You’ll have to tell me the other recipes, you know. Your crumb cake is sooooo good!" Pinkie said.
Daniel chuckled, "We'll see if I can get a job here that is." He explained.
Mrs. Cake came back into the kitchen with a brown sack and gave it to him, "Take this please."
Daniel took the brown sack and opened it. He was shocked by what he saw. Inside the bag were small gold coins.
"Huh so she paid him for making that little cake," I said quietly.
"But why?" Ashly asked
"Token of gratitude maybe?" I responded back quietly as I continued to watch.
"Are you sure you want to give me this?" Daniel asked, hoping this is a mistake.
"I want you to take these bits, a little thank you for sharing your recipe on your delicious crumb cake, and for the recipe." Mrs.Cake explained.
Daniel looked back into the sack, then back at her, "You sure?" He asked before taking it.
"I'm sure." She answered.
Daniel smiled and closed the sack, "Thank you, Mrs. Cake. Also, does this mean I get the job?"
"We'll see. I need to see if we can have you available on some of the days. I'll let Pinkie know and she'll tell you. You have her number right?" Mrs. Cake asked.
Daniel nodded, "Yep. Twilight gave me her number this morning." The human said.
Mrs.Cake smiled and nodded, "Alright then. Thank you for coming by Daniel, and we hope you can work here for us."
Daniel smiled and nodded back, "Thank you, Mrs. Cake, I'll see you later. Bye Pinkie!" He waved goodbye as he left Sugarcube Corner.
"BYE DANNY!" Pinkie shouted while waving goodbye.
As Daniel was leaving Sugar Cube Corner I was quick to follow him as I exited the color of the Sugar Cube Corner's outside walls and once again continue to follow the human as I was hidden in alleyways. Daniel was now making his way to the outskirts of Ponyville. Soon enough he reached Sweet Apple, Acres, as his jaw dropped once he saw rows of Apple trees. Now since we were no longer in town I was hidden on top of a branch of many apple trees looking down at Daniel.
The human then stopped in his tracks as he heard barking. He turned around and saw a dog. The dog had brown fur, a white underbelly, and wore a red collar. The dog curiously walked up to him and started sniffing his ankles, while circling him.
Daniel looked at the dog carefully and knew this dog was a female. He smiled and kneeled down to the dog’s level, while she backed up a little.
"Hey girl, my name is Daniel." The human greeted.
"Did he just....introduced himself to a dog? Sam questioned.
"It appears so" I answered with the same confusion in my voice. Why would he introduce himself to dog...unless he has the ability to talk to animals which I highly doubt? The dog looked at him for a bit, cocking her head with curiosity. The dog then slowly walked up to him, while Daniel slowly held his hand out. The dog started sniffing his hand for a second...until the dog barked happily and lunged at him, licking his face in the process.
"Hahahaha! Down girl! Hahahaha! Stop that tickles!"Daniel giggled while petting the dog while trying to keep the dog calm.
Someone whistled not too far from where Daniel and I were. "Winona! Where are ya girl!?"Called out a familiar voice.
The dog barked happily, signaling the mare to where she was.
Daniel turned his head and saw Applejack, carrying a bucket full of apples.
"There ya are! Oh, howdy Daniel!" Applejack greeted.
Daniel chuckled and stroked Winona's fur, "Hey Applejack. How you doing?"
The cowgirl chuckled as well, "Doing fine. I see ya got acquainted with Winona."
The human smiled and scratched under her chin, making her kick her leg a little. Daniel and Applejack chuckled by this, "I guess you can say that." He stopped scratching her and stood up.
"So, what brings ya to the farm?" Applejack asked.
"I'm looking for a job, and Twilight said you might be hiring for the moment," Daniel explained.
"Hmm...I think we can get ya a job here, but it takes a lot of work if you're up for it." Applejack said.
"Well, I'll need some details as to what you and the others do on the farm," The human replied.
Applejack arched a brow, "Others?"
"Yeah, you know, the other ponies that work here," Daniel explained.
"Actually partner, me and my family work on our own, though we do get some help from Twi and the others from time to time." Applejack explained.
Daniel's eyes widened like dinner plates and his jaw dropped, "You're….serious right? Are. You. Serious!?" He asked in disbelief.
"Umm, yeah, me, my older brother, younger sister, and my granny work on the farm. We also live here." The cowpony explained.
Daniel laughed, "Oh my god. You ponies are ones full of surprises. I can't believe you and your family run the orchard alone, and did all this." He said holding his hand out to all the trees and apples around, "Not even my own people can do all this on their own, let alone being their families running an orchard on their own. I have to say, I'm really impressed."
Applejack smiled while her cheeks turned slightly pink, "Thank ya kindly, Daniel! Now then, how about we get back to the farm?" Applejack asked.
Daniel nodded, "Sounds good."
They started walking back to the farm as I followed hidden amongst the branches of appletrees
Applejack, Winona, and Daniel walked back to the farm, "So anyway, what is it you all do around here?" He asked to make the time pass.
"My family and I pick apples, take care of the pigs, sheep, bail hay, and keep the farm clean. Nothin that big, but we always work at the crack of dawn." Applejack explained.
"Wait they are ponies and yet they take care of pigs and sheep?" I ask confused.
"Maybe they are sending the pigs to other countries that have carnivorous populous" Jack answered.
"It could be. But we can only guess" I responded.
Daniel shrugged, "I can handle that. I've worked at other jobs and had to get up early before the sun rises, so this will be a no brainer." Daniel replied.
Applejack smiled, "That's the spirit sugarcube!"
Daniel blushed a little when Applejack called him sugarcube.
Daniel and Applejack along with me still hidden amongst the branches made back to the farm as Applejack put down the bucket of apples she was caring.
Daniel looked at the house next to the farm and saw an old mare rocking in her chair sleeping. She had a frizzy white mane and tail, wore a brown dress with a white apron, had wrinkled green fur, and had an apple pie cutie mark on her arm.
"Hey Applejack, who's that over there?" Daniel asked, pointing to the mare in the rocking chair.
"Oh, that's Granny Smith, she mah Granny." Applejack said, "You wanna meet her?"
The human smiled, "I don't see why not?"
Applejack and Daniel walked over to Granny Smith, and Applejack started shaking her shoulder softly, "Up and atam Granny Smith, we have a guest."
"Huh..oh wa?" The old mare opened her eyes, which were an amber-like color, "Oh, hello Applejack." She then looked at Daniel, "Oh, and who might be this young whippersnapper?"
"Granny Smith, this is Daniel Blaze, Daniel, this is Granny Smith." Applejack said.
Daniel smiled and held his hand out to her, "A pleasure to meet you, Miss Smith." He greeted politely.
"My, My, aren't you the gentle colt. It's nice ta meet you as well sonny, and you can just call me Granny Smith." The old mare said smiling while shaking his hand.
"Granny, Daniel here needs a job, and I think he might be the pony...er person to do the job." Applejack said.
Just as I was gonna move closer to listen there was a sharp tingle in my brain. As soon as I felt that I took my paintbrush and left a trail of orange color on the ground and before I jumped in I heard Emily asking...
"What's wrong?" Emily asked me concerned.
"Trouble" I simply responded back as I jumped in the orange color making a splash.
TOMZ'S EQUESTRIA ( A few minutes earlier)
3rd PERSON POV
Ponies were having a normal day as usual. They were hanging out with their friends and family. Children were in schools and so on. Twilight was in her library reading a book. Then suddenly the ground shook as a loud explosion could be heard.
"What was that!?" The violet unicorn screamed as she bolted out of the library only to see Ponyville being attacked by some large beings in black armor and large swords. They destroying houses as ponies ran for their lives. In the air was a large airship floating above Ponyville as rays of energy were shooting at the houses below.

( These are the beings)

(this is the airship)
As the large beings were destroying Ponyville, Twilight took action and started the evacuation getting ponies out of the harm's way. While Rainbow Dash and Applejack were fighting back. Rainbow flew to one of the large beings in armor as she thew a right hook at its face only to scream in pain.
"AHH!" Rainbow yelled as she held her hand. She felt her hand to see if it was broken. Luckily the bone was still intact but a large bruise soon formed across her knuckles.
Meanwhile, in the airship, a being laughed evilly as he moved the levers and pushed buttons at the head of the ship. This being was named General Xane. He was wearing silver armor along with a helmet. He had a red cape and a sword striped on his hip.

(General Xane)

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA" Xane laughed evilly "Those are the cowardly creatures dare not hinder my territorial takeover. A wise decision. The power of my machines are unmatched !!! No other Shadow can compare to the likes of I ! Xane boasted.
"Gee that was pretty swelled, boss." One the shadow minions told him.
"Yeah!" Another shadow minion exclaimed.
"You really showed them what for. I liked it when you shot them with your ray gun" One shadow minion told him.
That comment only earned him a fist to the face from Xane.
" I'd wish he'd shoot me with his ray gun," One of the minions said as he was patted on the head by another minion.
Xane rolled his eyes as he turned his attention back to the board with levers and buttons as he pressed a few.
"At this rate, I will cease control of the entire west side of this world by days end and nothing not a single creature of this bright and peaceful land will be able to take back this kingdom from my conservative grasp!" Xane said as he smashed a head of one of his minions.
His minions started to cheer as one of the minions opened champagne as the plug went flying right into Xane's face. Xane gave his minion a deadly glare.
"This Realm will be mine and everyone will know the name of General Xa---" He got interrupted by someone yelling an insult at him.
"Pardon, who said that?" Xane asked. The General then turned to two of his minions.
"What did you just say to me you fried chicken fetuses!? SPEAK UP!! Xane yelled at them.
"That wasn't us mister bossman" The minion responded as he shook in fear.
Something then when flying through the window of the airship breaking it. Xane and his minions looked at it seeing it was a ball of magic. The ball of magic then exploded as it filled the room with smoke making Xane cough. Just then Rainbow Dash flew through the broken window as she entered a stance.
"You looking for a fight, you evil monster" Rainbow Dash taunted Xane.
"Why don't you get little airship along with your army out of my town before I smash your airship--" one part of the airship broke as it fell on the minion. "--more" Rainbow Dash said to Xane as she was holding a ball of magic in her hands. That ball of magic was actually compressed thunder.
"Oh? You wanna go, missy? Well, I'm happy to oblige. HA HA HAAA!!" Xane said as he equipped his sword as well as the minions equipping their own weapons.
Thinking fast Rainbow flew out of the broken window but was followed by Xane as he jumped out of the window after her. Once both hit the ground, Rainbow and Xane started to fight each other. Rainbow was throwing fast punches, jabs and kicks while Xane dodgem or block them. Xane then started to attack Rainbow Dash as the Shadow General swung his sword at Rainbow. Luckily Rainbow Dash also managed to dodge the strikes but she still earned a few cuts on her arms and torso making her wince in pain. As they were fighting Rainbow tripped and fell on her back as Xane put a leg on her chest pinning her down. Xane raised his sword was about to stab Rainbow but a good aim kick from Applejack knocked Xane off Rainbow as he fell on the ground. Xane groaned in anger as he stood up.
"You whores have no class! in war, the side remembered is the side with the most style!" Xane said as he fixed his cape.
Rainbow Dash and Applejack got into a stance. "Why are you attacking Ponyville" Rainbow Dash demanded.
"That's none of your goddamn business" Xane replied.
Xane then got hit by a beam of magic as he screamed in pain and flew into the ground. He shook his head and looked at Twilight as her horn glowed.
Xane got up quickly as he pointed a sword at the lavender unicorn pony.
"I'm going to cut you to bits !!" Xane said to Twilight as he came running at her with the sword in hand.
"Oh no, you don't !!" Rainbow said as she flew at Xane with her arm at the ready. She swung her right arm only to Xane to grab it and flipped her over him and smashing her into the ground making Rainbow scream in pain as she felt her wing dislocate.
"Not so cocky now, are we ?" Xane said as he leaned towards Rainbow.
"Rainbow!!" The rest of her friends shouted seeing her hurt.
Xane then grabbed Rainbow by the collar of her shirt and threw her in the wall of the house as Rainbow screamed once more and fell to the ground.
The rest of the girls were doing their best to keep Xane at bay until The princesses arrive. Fluttershy was still busy with evacuating ponies while Twilight, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie were busy fighting Xane.
"Where's Tomz !?" Twilight asked as she fired a spell at Xane who deflect with his sword.
As if her prayer was answered as soon as she mentioned Tomz one of the large Shadows that were wearing armor roared in pain as bones burst from the ground impaling it and killing it on the spot. Then two floating dragon-like skulls appeared as they opened their mouths and fired a beam of magical energy at another Shadow who had a pony pinned to the wall vaporizing it. Then from there, all hell broke loose. All shadows were still destroying and gaining on the ponies were either impaled by the bones or were vaporized once the dragon-like skulls appeared and shot a beam of magic at them and vaporizing them on the spot. The shadows were getting slaughtered one by one until only Xane was left.
"Sorry, I'm late girls...I came as soon as I felt something was wrong. Fear not ponies. Hope has arrived. Because I am here." Tomz said as he walked past the girls. Then the bones once again burst from the ground as it made a line between Tomz and the girls. Once Xane saw who came to the rescue he grinned under his helmet.
"Well well well. Look who it is harboring the artist freak. We met yet again Tomz !! " Xane told Tomz as he clenched his fist at the Nephilim.
"Do I know you?" Tomz grinned as he tilted his head.
Xane growled as he teleported back in his airship and took a sit in front of the board. "Oh yes you do, and this time I have the element of SUPRISE!!" Xane then pulled a lever as cannon opened which was pointing at Tomz and starting to power up.
"HA HA HA HAA, I'M SO EVIL, HA HA HA HAA!!" Xane laughed evilly.
But before the cannon could power up Tomz snapped his fingers as a bunch of spaces, bones, dragon-like skulls surrounded him. Even all of his seven floating hands appeared above him. The bones and spades flew towards the airship as they smashed the hull. At the same time, dragon liked skulls shot a magical beam at the airship as the parts of the airship caught on fire and explode and finally his floating hands charged up and shot a big beam at the center of the airship causing the entire airship to explode. All of the ponies stared at Tomz in shock as he defeated an army and its general along with his ship.
Everyone was silent until ponies began to cheer at Tomz's victory.
TOMZ POV
After I defeat...whoever he was. The ponies cheered at my victory. I turned back towards Twilight and the others looked at me in shock and awe.
I walked up to them with worry but I still kept a grin on my face.
"You girls doing okay?" I asked them. Twilight could just nod at what she just witnessed. I nodded back at them as I walked towards Rainbow who was laying on the ground and groaning in pain.
"Rainbow, dear, talk to me," I asked her as I gently lifted her up.
Rainbow slowly opened her eyes as she looked at me. She coughed a bit. "H-Hey big guy...y-you really showed them, h-huh," The rainbow pegasus told me as I looked at her wing. The wind was under a bad angle but it wasn't broken. I layed her back on the ground as my hands glow in golden white magic. I started to use the Adept healing spell as I heard her groan in pain as her wing was slowly getting back its rightful position. Rainbow then opened her eyes once more and slowly sat up.
"Hey...the pain is gone" She then looked at her wing and she saw it was fixed. "and my wing is okay." She gave her wings a few flaps "And they are like new" Rainbow looked at me and before I could react she hugged me tightly. I just smiled as I started to pet her head. I then picked her up bride style but unlike in Canterlot she didn't run away and she let me carried her. I'm guessing she was just too tired to care right now.
I started walking towards the girls as they were still staring at me in shock. I chuckle at their reaction. "Come, darlings. Everyone could use a rest after this." I told them which got them out of their state of shock. After we checked on ponies and made sure everyone was okay. All of us decided that we will rest and once we were rested that all of us will help rebuild the town. Speaking of resting I could use rest the most. I felt drained after that attack but nothing major. After I somehow managed to get to my new home I made my way towards my room which was a room in the middle on the second floor I just crashed on the bed and fell in deep sleep the minute my body touched the comfy mattresses. I was lucky I made it in time and I got to observe Daniel a bit as well. Welp...tomorrow is another day and with another new day comes a new adventure.
