Anon-A-Miss: The Son Of Wolverine

Princess Celestia, in the form of her pseudonym Sunny Skies, dashed over to Sunset and cupped her cheek in her palm, looking her daughter deep in the eyes.

"Oh, my little sunshine, I'm so sorry sweetheart. I should've checked up on you myself. Please forgive me." Celestia whispered heartbrokenly, "What did they do to you?" She sobbed. Looking at James for assistance.

"Ah'll show you through an illusion, it'll show ya exactly what they did ta her. But Celestia, the only way ta save her was ta give her a blood transplant using mah blood, as it managed ta heal her. Mah blood has mah rapid healing, feral instincts. immortality, claws and an Adamantine coated skeleton. Ah'm so sorry your highness, there was no other way ta heal her. It was forced upon me." James stated sadly, fear slightly showing in his tone.

He then looked Celestia in her eyes and placed a finger to the side of his head, talking to her through the mind, and showed her through the illusion what had been done. Celestia placed a hand over her mouth to stiffle a gasp of horror and disgust as tears blurred in her eyes.

Celestia saw all the cuts, lacerations and bruises she had sustained, and was that...her cutie mark? In the shape of a brand? Had a bunch of children done this to her daughter over some stupid account?

"Sunset, oh my sweet baby girl, I'm so sorry." Celestia whimpered as she hugged her daughter tightly, cocooning her in her motherly embrace.

"No! Don't be! It was all my fault mom. I was a terrible daughter. Selfish and a brat because you wouldn't make me a princess. I don't deserve to be your daughter. I've never been able to forgive myself, and I don't think I ever will be able to." Sunset whispered weakly, sniffling as tears trailed down her cheeks. The emotional pain within her being released. Celestia lovingly dried them, giving her daughter a soft smile as she hugged her.

"I forgave you a long time ago, my little sun. You will always be my daughter, my little baby girl I gave birth to all those years ago. Twilight's told me everything that you've done. You've done so much good here as well as bad, but moreso you've done more good than bad. You need to start forgiving yourself otherwise it weighs on your conscience forever." Celestia whispered softly, shushing her daughter as Sunset sobbed into her mother's chest, releasing every ounce of anguish and pain she had been holding back.

James watched with sadness seeing Sunset so hurt and broken. He hated seeing her in so much pain. It made him hurt just as much as she was.

"Sunset darlin, ah forgave you a long time ago too, ah'll always be here fer ya, no matter what, and that's a promise ah intend ta keep and never forget." James firmly told his heartbroken lover.

"James, my student Twiight tells me you're Sunset's coltfriend now? She's also asked me for permission if you could come and live with Sunset and Twilight in her castle, would you like to join us? Once we go back the portal will go back to opening every thirty moons as it used to." Celestia asked him, eyeing him for any reaction.

"Ah'll join ya in yer homeworld, and ah'm only going cuz ah want ta protect Sunset. Ah fear fer her safety just as much as ya do. But wouldn't it be weird fer a pony and human ta be together? And in Equestria no less?" James asked concerned, he didn't want to fuck up Equestria's government with the interspecies idea. He didn't know how others would take it.

"Others may have something against it, I won't lie. But you're a good colt for Sunset to be with, don't worry. I have to thank you James, for protecting my daughter during Anon-A-Miss. The kidnapping, or "foalnapping" as we ponies would say it, wasn't your fault." Celestia replied softly.

"I'll be heading to the portal with Twilight, you and Sunset can grab any belongings you need or wish to bring with you. That is if you would like to?" celestia asked.

"There's one thing on me that ah want ta bring, it's personal and it's important ta me." James stated as he pulled out two shiny rectangular dog tags with the names 'Logan'. 'Wolverine'.

"These belonged to mah biological father Logan, who's real name was James Howlett, as ah was named after mah father. Ah took these and kept them after he died. Ah want to carry his legacy and what he lived fer, ah won't let the history of mutantkind die. Ah'm gonna continue it no matter what." James informed, twirling the dog tags in his palm, the clink and clank of metal present.

"We'll be waiting by the portal, good luck. Thank you for everything, James." Twilight told her other best friend, who she loved like a brother, even though she had Shining as a brother, James had that brotherly side about him. She hugged him and Sunset. The trio smiling softly.

"Well, this is it. I'm going home, and I'm bringing you with me." Sunset stated as she kissed him deeply for the last time as a human, and dashed through the portal.

"Mekarm, ya ready man? This is gonna be probably painful and tiring, but let's do it anyway fer Sunset." James stated, as Mekarm nodded. The two grabbed hands and waited.

James quickly scanned the energy and used a cosmic teleport. The two arrived in Equestria. However he had still retained his human form, instead of either an earth pony, unicorn, pegasi or alicorn.

"Sunset? Where are ya?" james asked worriedly.

"Over here sweetie." Sunset whispered softly.

James turned around and noticed his lover. She had a brilliant amber coat with a gold and red striped mane, god she was still beautiful as a pony just as much as a human. She even had a horn atop her forehead as she blushed, pawing the ground anxiously.

"Ugh, am I still human? Or pony?" Mekarm asked, his synthetic hand grasping the warm ground.

"Yep, still the same human ah remember." James chuckled, earning a punch from Mekarm.

Sunset chuckled and followed Twilight to the main kitchen, seeing her and Sunset as a pony was new for him, as it was the same situation for Mekarm. The duo following the mares in suit.

What they didn't expect was the pony versions of his and Sunset's former ex friends, he wanted to yell at them but didn't, they had done nothing wrong to him and Sunset ever in their lives.

"Oh! Um, Sunset, James and Mekarm, meet my friends. I know it's a bit personal with the Anon-A-Miss recently, but I promise these versions of my friends will never betray you. Ever." Twilight promised James and Sunset.

"Thanks Twi, ya know, you've been like a sister ta me. Ah love ya as a friend, ah really do but ah love ya like a sister, ah'm admitting that." James stated.

"Agreed, you've been on my side during Anon-A-Miss, and I can't thank you enough, you've been like a little sister to me, and I love you as a friend and sister." Sunset hiccuped, gaining a hug from Twilight.

"I love you both as friends but also like a big brother and big sister, I'd never betray you both, and James, you've done a lot for Sunset, thank you." Twilight softly whispered, tears brimming in her eyes as she hugged her bipedal friend.

"Twilight, since it's Sunset's birthday soon, I'm planning on having her ascend to an alicorn, she's deserved it. She's suffered so much during this Anon A Miss problem, and she's saved that world three times. It's now that she's deserving of being an alicorn, I'll need you, Cadence and Luna as well as myself present in order to cast the spell needed for ascension." Celestia asked her faithfull student.

"Of course princess, whatever you need!." Twilight answered her mentor and teacher. "I'll go set up the tree of harmony." She added.

"I want Sunset to feel that she can be happy, when she said she didn't deserve to be my daughter, that worried me, I don't know what's going on in her head Twilight and I'm so worried." Celestia asked her student, surely Twilight would know.

"Celestia ah know what's wrong. She's been so upset about meeting ya and reconciling. She's been feeling so much guilt and self-hatred ta the point she wanted ta kill herself. Ah talked her out of it and told her that you'd forgive her and always love her no matter what. She was so distraught and heartbroken, she feels she failed you, she thinks she deserves ta suffer for planning ta take over Equestria, and almost killing her ex friends and Twilight, she's been down ever since. She's been good at hiding it but she's been in so much pain. She needs ya now more than ever! She needs Luna, her aunt! She needs ta know she has family and is loved by you guys, you need to show that ya love her, just telling her won't work, she's a smart girl, she'll think you're pretending. She's not trying ta be mean by thinking that, she's just heartbroken and scared. She was scared you was going ta put her on trial and have her executed. It gave her constant nightmares that ah soothed, ah'm not mad at you, Celestia, ah'm just stating what's been going on inside her head. She loves ya but she's scared of being hurt even more. That fear and worry is taking over and causing a psychological condition called Depression, in which someone locks themselves away and emotionally, 'shuts down'. She needs therapy, a lot of it. She needs a lot of motherly love from ya and from her aunt, she needs ta know that she'll always be loved." James stated softly.

"How do you know what depression is, James?" Celestia asked curiously yet cautiously.

"Because ah've had it, lived with it. Ah've seen so many people die. Good and bad. People ah've loved like brothers and sisters, and someone a mother die by the hands of mah enemies. Everyone ah know goes away in the end. Everyone ah know like mah adoptive and biological family is dead, all my friends are dead, all mah allies are dead. Everyone in mah life is dead! Bad shit happens ta people ah care about! Everyone ah know is six feet under the ground! Never to feel, see, smell, hear and live ever again!" James stated. Recalling Logan's death by X-24 as the emotionless and soulless clone killed him, impaling him on a fallen branch.

"I'm so sorry for everything you've suffered, you never deserved it." Celestia whispered, placing a comforting hoof on his shoulder as she sniffled.

"These dog tags, as they're called belonged ta mah father Logan, who was killed by the Adamantium coating his skeleton which was always poisoning him, meaning his healing factor always fought it off."

"Over time his healing got slightly slower. When a company called Alkalis Transigen, pretending ta be a Cancer Research Study programn slipped Anti-Mutant chemicals into corn syrup and other things ta eat and drink, the mutant population plummeted within two years, and eventually we were driven ta extinction."

"The only remaining mutants were a guy called Caliban, mah father Logan, and another man who was like a grandfather figure ta me, called Charles Xavier."

"X-24 killed Logan and Charles, although Charles died first, then Logan. Transigen had been using mutant DNA samples taken from bodies and had mexican women raped and fertilised ta give birth ta mutants made from the remains."

"The children there were named Rictor, April, Bobby, Charlotte, Delilah, Erica, Gideon, Jackson, Jamaica, Joey, Jonah, Julie, Laura, formerly X-23, Mira, Rebecca, Stephen, Tamara, and Tomás. Laura is mah sister, and ah was known formerly as X-25, a combined mix of Laura and X-24's strengths and abilities."

"Ah was the perfect wolverine clone that they wanted. X-24's cells weren't pure, they had ta be altered, and Laura's Y chromosome was damaged ta the point the only other option was a female clone of Logan. Eventually they found me, kidnapped me and tortured me fer years since ah was ten years old."

"Ah'm getting off track. The only other family ah have left is Laura as ah don't know who mah biological mother is, so ah've had ta assume she's dead. Those dog tags are what keep me going and want ta keep on living. Because ah want ta honor mah father's legacy and continue it from where he left off." James stated, not mentioning the Munson's and what he had seen.

"Anyways, me and Sunset are off ta bed, see ya both in the morning, we're emotionally exhausted after what happened today." James said as he yawned before turning around and heading to his and Sunset's quarters. The two lovers cuddled up together in bed, sunset laying her head once again on his chest as she drifted off to sleep pleasantly. "Goodnight my love, I love you," She murmured as she nuzzled his chest. James drifted off himself a few minutes later, the two sleeping happily together.
