A Roegadyn in Equestria

A Roegadyn in Equestria.

Chapter 45: Does This Count as Assault?

*Point of view: Third Person*
*Location: Flowers Sisters Flower Shop*
*Time: Just after Eleven thirty in the morning*

Right now, a blue Pegasus, that was known to Brex as Rainbow Dash. Was currently doing a rapid dive-bomb onto the Roegadyn after immediately soaring as high as she could before nearly hitting the roof of the shop. Of course, this was literally a split second after she had finish calling out that Brex was a monster. Today, she was wearing a set of jogging clothing with a white undershirt and a blue hoodie, along with a pair of tight black pants that showed off her form.

Her arms were fully extended out to the front of her body and clearly showing that she was going to try and push whoever was in her way with a full body tackle and down onto the floor with everything that she had. Just as she was going to make contact with her palms only a centimeter away from the blue sections of his shoulders. Brex had immediately shifted his body weight in order to fall backwards right at the very instant that Rainbow had touched him with just the tips of her fingers.

As a result, the pair fell back until they landed on the floor with a heavy thud, but managed to avoid colliding with either the counter or any of the potted plants that were on display only a few feet away. Of course, with not only the large body size of the Roegadyn, coupled together with that of Rainbow and her added speed. There was a resounding crash that nearly knocked over a few of the flower pots nearby and caused a few of the ones that were hanging by chains on the ceiling to sway.

Without missing a Beat Rainbow had gotten her body situated so that she was straddling his waist while still gripping tightly onto the collar of his hood. After about a second or so of her trying to shake his body enough to cause a normal person to slam the back of their head into the floor repeatedly and having no such luck. She quickly resorted to throwing her right fist back and primed it to slam a good solid punch right into his mask covered face.

But while she was doing all of this, she was screaming loudly while giving a death glare down to the one that was underneath. “Ha-Ha! I caught you now Monster! Did you really think you could get past my highly trained senses and attack Lily in her own shop? Fat Chance! I knew you were here the whole time! Fluttershy, quick! Go and get the town guard! Tell ‘em I got one of those monsters that snuck into town! You better tell them to get here fast too, otherwise there won't be anything left of it by the time I'm done!”

Upon hearing the request from rainbow. Fluttershy quickly nodded while apparently being scared out of her mind as to what was going on and had rushed off to the front door after taking to the air, just as rainbow was about to throw the punch that she had been getting ready to use. However just before Fluttershy could even get to the doorknob. The door itself was opened in another familiar voice came into the room. This belonging to a cheerful sounding Applejack.

“Howdy there! I just figured I'd stop by to see if you got another-.” The orange mare had the words caught in her throat on seeing what was going on. From where she stood in the doorway, she could plainly see that Fluttershy, who was only a foot or so away was looking extremely panicked by the way she was looking back and forth between Applejack and further into the shop.

While at the same time, her friend Rainbow was on the wooden floor near the end of the counter and was currently on top of something very large. Along with a fist that was halfway pulled back, as it was clearly stopped in mid throw from her sudden arrival.

Seeing to have already figured out just who would had come in. Rainbow then called over her shoulder while looking at Applejack. “Great timing A J! Give me a hand here in tying up this monster I just caught!” Hearing the word monster. Applejack leaped into action and quickly approached while reaching onto her hip that had a length of rope coiled on a clip that was attached to the belt she sported. But just as she had gotten over to her friend, she had just then got a good look at who was underneath and froze in mid motion of taking the rope into both of her hands.

Clearly the farmer had identified that this was the stallion that she and so many others had been looking around over the past two days. Rainbow immediately caught on to the hesitation on her friend's help and while still grabbing on to her apparent prisoner. She quickly called to Applejack again in a rather annoyed voice. “What's keeping you up? This thing put up an epic fight before I took it down so we better get it taken care of before it gets a second wind and goes after Lily again.”

That was when there was a new voice that came out from deeper within the shop. After letting out a startled gasp and the sound of a bag falling to the ground. The two Pegasus and the orange earth pony turned to see Lily standing there while holding both of her hands up to her face in real horror. Rainbow was about to say something but was stopped when they all heard what Lily said next in a panic and in the middle of approaching quickly.

“By Celestia! What are you all doing to Mister Gambit! Gambit, Gambit! Please say something. Quickly we need to get a nurse! Please! Mister Gambit, say something, anything. Oh no, oh no! How in Equestria did this happen?!” As Lily went on and on while shifting from one hoof to another with her expressions only becoming more manic as time continued. Rainbow was devolving from her triumphant attitude that she was displaying earlier and was now looking a little unsure as to what was going on.”

After a few more seconds of this, the blue Pegasus slowly brought her eyes down and was now looking at the motionless body before her. Her eyes then began to go wide upon repeating what she was just hearing from Lily, along with a noticeable gulp from the back of her throat. “Mister... Gambit?” In one instant motion, Rainbow had kicked off of the ground and was now hovering several feet above where she was just at, while quickly muttering. “Oh-my-gosh! Oh-my-gosh! Oh-my-gosh! Oh-my-gosh! I-I just attacked a S-Stallion!!!” This was also accompanied by a weak voice that obviously came from Fluttershy. “Oh my... Is... Is he okay? I haven't seen him move at all sense…”

The next that could be heard speaking, was Applejack as she stared straight at Rainbow while holding her hat at an awkward angle and giving her the, are you kidding me look. “Yah caught a Monster, eh?” After that point. Both Rainbow and Fluttershy told them exactly what happened, even though Rainbow was attempting to make it sound like they had gotten into an altercation but finally relented and told the truth after some nasty glares from Applejack.

To which, got the farm mare to say, “Ok! let me get this here straight. You and Fluttershy came in here to get something and ended up getting spooked when this fella came out of the back room. After getting a hesitant nod from the pair she went on to continue. “So, you Rainbow decided it was a good idea to do a flying tackle and slam him into the floor and immediately climb on top of him to try and mare handle the poor fella. Also, if it wasn't for me coming in, you would have struck him in the face by now.”

There was another slow nod from the blue Pegasus before Applejack continued further. “Then, you went and asked me to help tie the stallion up before you even realized just what you even took down. Yeah, didn’t even take the time to notice just what it was you were even sitting on. Really Rainbow! Assaulting a stallion is against the law and you nearly turned me into one of your accomplices!”

After that, the farm mare and the blue Pegasus began to argue with one another about how nearsighted Rainbow could get. While at the same time, both Lily and Fluttershy were really confused as to how it had got turned into an argument and attempted to pull the two ponies apart.

Over back to Brex, who was still laying on the floor. He was currently listening and watching as the fight progressed further and further from what started as name-calling, to progress to the verge of throwing punches at one another. Going back to the moment that Rainbow had tackled him. Brex had suddenly moved his body to make it appear that his falling was due to being attacked by the dive bomb. Even the fall itself had hardly even registered to him and decided to just play possum to see how things would turn out.

Of course, he wasn't doing nothing. But instead, was running scenarios through his head. He started to think of what it would have been like if he had retaliated in even the slightest degree or even avoided the attack all together. He had no doubt that the whole thing would have escalated even further and there was a high degree of possibility that there would have been some collateral damage as a result. Judging from the personality in the show, along with all of those detailed accounts of first encounters for the displaced. Rainbow Dash would not have listened to a single word he had said and would have continued attacking him nonetheless.

This would have of course, led to getting the rest of the town involved along with the other Element bearers. One after another, they would join in and help Rainbow without so much as asking a question as to what was going on. What he knew for sure, was that no matter what action he would have taken, whether it was to fight back or to run. The same outcome would have occurred with a probability greater than eighty-five percent from what he had figured out.

Obviously, there was always the option of disappearing into a shadow that was directly underneath his body if the worst scenario should come up and they didn't calm down. Brex did find it a shirring that Applejack was very cool-headed and figured that it was due to her seeing him during that incident back at the café. So at least he had some form of street cred that painted him in a positive light. Otherwise, she might have tried to hogtie him already.

But as soon as the fist fight was beginning to become a real thing. Brex started to get to his feet after first pushing his upper half up with both of his arms. As soon as he had fully gotten up. He silently went over to Lilly who had not noticed him along with the others and tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention. When she had turned around, she was startled to see that he was back on his legs and instantly began to ask him a barrage of questions in relations to his physical health.

Eventually, all of Lily's words had drawn the others attention away from one another and towards the both of them. Applejack was currently pulling on one of Rainbows wings. While at the same time, the Pegasus was holding on to the farmer's hat while dangling it above her head right as they froze in place while looking at Brex. Then, without so much as even acknowledging the other's presence within the store. He reached into his left arm sleeve and pulled out the same bag that he was about to give to Rose the other day and handed it over to Lily.

Lily then asked him in a worried tone. “Oh! I see you were coming down to check out. Honestly, we didn't really get to see you around all that much. We had all completely forgotten about it. But are you sure you’re, okay? Does anything hurt? Here, let’s look. Just take off-.” Lily's words came to an abrupt halt when she reached up suddenly for his mask and found that it didn't budge even an inch when she tried to pull it off of his face.

When she tried to pull on it a second time. Brex immediately reached up and gently gripped on to the hand that she was reaching up with and pulled it away slowly. Brex then said to her in a whisper that the others could just barely make out. “Concern is… Appreciated.” After he had released her hand. She did ask him while still seemingly worried. “If you're fine, then I'm glad. But are you planning on going back home now that the celebration is finally over?”

To this, he shook his head slowly before replying. “Extending my stay.” Lily nodded after hearing what he had just said before she added. “I see. Now that all the tourists have gone away. Then the other places to rent a room will have some vacancies. But still, I really do think you should check yourself with a doctor. I was all the way in the back and even I heard that big thud from all the way back there.”

Brex simply motioned that he was fine with a wave of his hand and began to make his way through the front door. At the same time, walking around the three ponies that were still there. Not once did he turn his head in their direction and exited the flower shop and began to walk down the road going to the right.

Back with all of the girls. Both the blue and orange mare's were still frozen in place while their eyes were currently locked on the doorway that had been left open. As for Fluttershy, she went up to Lily and began to speak in a somewhat worried voice. “I hope that he's not too mad at us. We're really sorry for the trouble.” Lily had turned towards Fluttershy and gave her a small smile that quickly turned to a frown upon turning her focus back towards the two mare’s that had finally released one another before she spoke in a disappointed tone.

“Mister Gambit had booked a room that we advertised to make some extra money on the side. Seeing as all of the hotels and taverns were full because of the coming up celebration. The poor guy doesn't really say much, but I can tell that he was really bothered by what happened. As for you Fluttershy, you don't really have anything to apologize for. But I do think that theirs a pony in here that really should.”

That last sentence was clearly pointed towards Rainbow, with how the Earth mare's eyes were solely locked onto the blue Pegasus's reddish orbs. The one in question, instantly gave a small gulp while scratching the back of her head. However, it quickly changed to another attitude when she got back onto her hooves after landing and began to talk in a condescending tone and crossing her arms as a pout slowly formed on the mare’s lips.

“Hey! Don't look at me like that! It's not my fault that the dude snuck up on the both of us. Who in their right minds comes out from the back door only to scare a couple of customers anyway? What was he even doing up there to begin with?! I was only trying to protect you seeing as every pony knows that it's only the three of you that lives here.”

“For all I knew, he was trying to rob yeah. Ha! You should really be praising me for being such a quick thinker!” It became quite obvious to the rest of them, that she had not paid any attention to what was being said earlier and they were all now giving her the, what are you fucking talking about look. Well, all aside from Fluttershy, who just looked rather confused as to what she was hearing with how one ear was up and the other was more than half way down.

It was Applejack who was the one that spoke up next, while swatting the back of Rainbows head with her hat and then putting it right back on. “Didn't cha hear a dang thing she said while speaking to that fella? Also, almost every pony knows in this town that they were renting out their room to a stallion. What's more, he was the one that all the other girls have been chatting about.”

Rainbow obviously had a confused expression as she was listening to this and tilting her head ever so slightly. As soon as Applejack had finished telling her about just who he was and why he was even there. The blue Pegasus suddenly started to have a laughing fit, while pointing towards the door as she started to speak between heavy chuckles and grabbing at her side with the one free hand.

“WHAT! That oversized weakling?! He's the one that they've all been fawning over? You’ve got to be kidding me, right? I literally just took him down in one easy hit. Didn't even give me much of a fight at all. I bet I even knocked him out for a moment with how he didn't even move a single muscle after I had him slammed into the floor!” That was when there was some loud tapping coming from near to her left which happened to be Applejack and she wasn't looking all that very happy. She then started to say in a voice that was clearly meant to imitate that of Rainbow Dash. “This thing put up an epic fight before I took it down.” Applejack's voice went back to normal before going on.

“Weren't those your very words? Seriously Rainbow! Do you even realize what you just did? You assaulted a male. It would have been one thing if it was in self-defense or if he really was trying to rob them. But you went and attacked him without any warning or just cause. Just because he walked into the room! And if what you said was true about him not moving after you tackled him and he had been knocked out, then you better hope he's really okay! Because, if he goes and reports this to the guards, then that's going to be some real jail time for yah. Oh, and just in case you're wondering. If I'm asked about what I know, then you best don't plan on me lying!”

Right now, Rainbow was really looking worried with how her eyes kept darting towards the floor that they had been laying on when she had tackled him and back towards the front door that had been left open. Now speaking in an unsure tone, Rainbow started to ask Applejack. “But, but, it's not like I-I... Uh oh... H-Hold on! We save the Princess. Doesn't that count for anything? I mean, we're celebrities now, right? This ain't no biggie.”

All Rainbow could get from the three other ponies in the room was a unified set of head shakes before Applejack spoke up again. “Yeah, really aren't getting it there partner. We may have done that and stopped Nightmare Moon and all. But this is still going to label you as a stallion beater. There’re some pretty strict laws when it comes to the safety of them, you know that, right? Also, it’s really goanna hurt your chances of getting with a stallion if you end up with that sort of mark on your record. You'd be lucky if they allowed you to get within five hoofs of any of them, much less to join one of those herds.”

At first, Rainbow was trying to show a brave front. But with each point that Applejack was making. The blue Pegasus was showing that her wings were starting to slowly sag lower and lower, until the tips of her wings were now nearly hitting the floor with how straight down they were by the end. Even the color was beginning to slowly drain from her face, as her eyes went wide from the implications of what her future would end up becoming. But what Applejack said next, was the final nail in the coffin and it ended up breaking Rainbows resolve into a thousand pieces.

“Do yeah even think that the group that you've been pining for all this time, would even allow a stallion beater to be in their ranks?” That was when she suddenly had a full-blown panic and shot her wings out and took to the air in order to fly through the front door and leaving nothing but a blur of rainbows. All the while quickly screaming out. “I need to be someplace right now! See yeah later!”

As soon as the Pegasus left. Applejack had taken her hat off and was now scratching the top of her head in confusion as she turned to Fluttershy to ask a question. “Say, Fluttershy. Did Rainbow really get him as easily as she said?” From there, Fluttershy tried to tell her just what she had seen from the moment they came in and all the way up till Applejack came into the scene. After putting her hat back on, Applejack then said while crossing her arms and having a skeptical look on her face. “Even if Rainbow did do one of her flying tackles, I doubt very much that she was able to bring such a big fella down so easily. Something just doesn't feel right here.”

*Point of view: Brex Mith*
*Time: A few minutes after leaving the Flour Sisters Shop*

As soon as he had gotten out onto the street, he was immediately preoccupied while walking and trying to calm down Rory. Who was just fuming through the mental connection. Brex was positive that if he had not given her the direct order not to come to Ponyville and rip off every one of Rainbows feathers out one by one, then the girl would have already been in the act of doing so at this very moment. It was becoming more and more obvious that Rory was beginning to develop an aversion to the blue Pegasus. Thanks to this incident, along with the bad-mouthing that was overheard from the party.

She was currently in the middle of another sentence that was describing in more vivid details as to what she would be doing to Rainbow right now. But Brex was distracted by sensing an object moving at high speeds and it was heading in his direction from where he had come walking from. He had considered the idea of trying to hide, but thought otherwise, so he remained at his current pace and was quickly caught up by the one that he had fully expected it to be.

As soon as Rainbow had zoomed right past and quickly turned around to be hovering just several feet in front of him and just off of the ground. Rory started to talk with in his head, with a tone that clearly said that she wanted nothing more than to cause some extreme, bodily harm to the mare. “Oh, is the bitch coming to apologize at last? Master, I suggest not letting her off the hook too easily. From what I know about her personality, she's not the type to learn her lesson unless it's administered through some form of extreme humiliation or bodily harm. Personally, I would prefer the second option.” This got him to reply by saying, “I doubt very much that this is going to be an apology, but it's sure nice to think about it though.”

Brex could easily tell that she was nervous at first but covered it with her usual bravado and struck a pose with her fists resting on both of her hips, while puffing out her chest in the same way one would when taking a picture of an athlete, that had just won first prize. “Hey, you're not busy now, right? How about you and me have a quick chat!” The Roegadyn seriously didn't feel all that up to talking to such an aggravating Pony at the moment. So, he just ended up shrugging her off with not even acknowledging her presents and walked around the still floating Pegasus.

It took a few seconds before he heard her giving a confused sound before it was a rush of wind and the Pegasus was now right in front of him once more. This time, seemingly annoyed as she was now giving him the stink eye. Rainbow was just about to say something, when he made a perfect ninety degree turn to the left while in mid-step and began to walk down a back alley that was right between what appeared to be a barber shop and a general goods store.

After going more than halfway inside and just past a few dumpsters. He had just gone in far enough that if any bystanders were to come by, then they would have a hard time in noticing that he was even there. Of course, seeing as Rainbow was not one to give up so easily, she immediately followed him in as well. He then turned around on the spot and was now facing the blue mare. But the action had caught her unawares with the sudden motion and she was nearly about to run right into him thanks to the abrupt stop he had done and was now looking at him with a surprised expression after finding that her face was only a few inches away from his mask.

She then backed away a few feet and had landed with a thud from just dropping from the air as her wings were pulled in quickly. She even had this cocky expression on her face before she started to speak. “Oh… I see how it is. You just wanted to get me all to yourself. That’s why you led us down here. Oh well, I can't really blame you, I’m just that awesome.” Brex was rolling his eyes from behind his mask after personally witnessing this pony’s self-delusions first-hand. The next thing to happen, was Rainbow beginning to say something to him. Only to quickly go back and forth between herself and Brex on the responses.

“Say, I really need to talk to you about what just happened back at the shop!”

“Nothing happened… Bye.”

“Huh? What? Wait, hold up! What are you talking about, didn’t you hit your head or... Oh, uh…? Right. I did that didn’t-.”

“Won't say anything.”

“Could you wait for just a second, I just wanted to-.”

“Save your reputation.”

“Huh? What?! No. No, that's not what I... I just wanted to see if-.”

“Hospital not required.”

“Huh?”

“Going now... Bye.”

Brex had made the motion that he was about to walk around her like he did earlier. However, Rainbow didn't look as if she was about to let that happen again and quickly sidestepped so that she was blocking his path. She was even beginning to look agitated with how she was pretty much giving him the stink eye and bawling up both of her hands into fists, while they were down at her sides.

Even her wings were partially flared up. That was when she brought up her right hand and began to repeatedly poke him just below the chest with nearly every word that she was about to say. While nearly bringing her voice loud enough that it could be heard from all the way down to the street.

“Hey! I'm trying to talk to you here! Now shut up and bucking listen to what I have to say like a good stallion!” When Brex heard that, he had complied and just remained perfectly still without saying so much as a word for the next several seconds. Rainbow’s apparent anger from before, was quickly subsiding and she had withdrawn her hand after noticing that she was pressing into him just a little too hard with her finger. Brex could see that she was doing this small breathing exercise to psych herself up for some reason, before she started to speak again.

“Look, I just wanted to know... I mean, you look like you... Uh… I mean… T-That uh, was a pretty great tackle, no wait, I mean... Gerrrrrrr... You shouldn't have come out of there like... You look really suspicious wearing... You can't blame me for calling you a-. You know, this whole thing wouldn't have happened if you were with your-. What's a stallion doing all by himself anyway? If you'd only had your mare’s around. Then none of this would have even happened! Y-Yeah, that's right, it's all your fault! I didn't do anything wrong. Got that!”

During her whole jumbled speech. The blue Pegasus kept interrupting herself whenever she brought her finger up to make a point. Only to immediately retract it whenever she came to a sudden halt in one of her many sentences. But when it got to the point where she was talking about why he wasn't with his mare’s.

Rainbow was picking up momentum and regaining her confidence to the point that she had crossed her arms and was looking rather triumphant in finally making a point. Although to Brex, he knew full well that she was trying to come up with an apology but due to her nature, the very act of admitting that she was wrong, was appearing to be physically causing her pain so she ended up falling back onto her cocky self.

So, instead of fighting what can't be changed in a single day. Brex just stood there and remained completely silent as per the norm. Apparently during the next several long moments, Rainbow was beginning to show signs of cracks forming in her posture. The wings that were slightly raised to show that she was angry, were slowly inching down as the seconds passed. The once steely gaze that she was giving him was now beginning to soften. While also having a hard time with keeping eye contact as he could see her pupils slowly drifting before pulling themselves back to his mask.

The fists from before, began to unclench and the shaking that was fueled by anger was replaced gradually by something else completely. But the biggest giveaway was how her ears that were pointed up and going in his direction, had gradually started to drop and were nearly down at the sides of her head. When nearly a minute had passed, the end result was Rainbow resembling a beaten puppy that wanted nothing more than to be anywhere else but there.

Brex could even see how she was fighting the urge to do that thing that ponies do where they paw at the ground with one of their hooves when they feel the need to make themselves feel emotionally better. At one point or another, Brex had even come up with a theory that this was their fight or flight impulse that is trying to kick in and doing such an act, was giving them the same feeling of being able to run away.

After giving the mare a few more seconds of the silent treatment. Brex finally started to walk out of the alleyway and leaving behind an empty shell of Rainbow, who hadn't even made any motions to stop him anymore. Before he had just rounded the corner of the alley. Brex took a quick glance and he was able to see the pathetic sight of the blue Pegasus that was just staring straight at the floor.

When he had gotten a fair distance away and was now on the streets walking among the rest of the ponies. His mind was brought out of how he was thinking about the way that the mare's were looking in his direction by the sound of Rory's voice. “Master, just what did you do to Rainbow Dash? Did you release your killing intent or was it a spell that I was unaware of being activated?”

Brex then replied in a menacing, yet also playful inner tone. “Oh, I most certainly used a spell all right. She wanted me to shut up and I gave her exactly that. I just thought that if the rules here were reversed, then why shouldn't I take advantage of a few of those?” After a few seconds of silence, along with clearly sensing Rory's confusion.

He then went on to say, “I simply gave her the iconic silent treatment. You know. The one where you just constantly stare at them without moving a muscle until they start to see that they've angered you to the point that they end up going over what they said in their own heads to figure out just what had happened to put them in that situation.”

“It also helps with how I'm wearing this mask and that I'm so much bigger than her. So, I have no doubt that it added to the intimidation factor of that little trick.” He then heard Rory saying, “You know, it's when you do little things like this, that I wonder just how far you could go if you were to ever turn evil.” Brex then replied in a mocking, villainous tone. “Hey! When have I ever said I was the hero? You're talking to a guy that could do some serious damage to all of Equestria if I really felt like doing so.”

This got an equally fake villainous laugh from Rory as she began to speak. “All beware my most powerful Master! For he can ruin the lives of so many if he ever so truly wishes!” After dropping the fake voice and returning to her usual playful one, she then continued. “Well Master, putting aside future possible plans of conquest. Just what would your plans for today happen to be? You're not staying in that room anymore. So, where are you going to sleep now? Go rent another room in one of the few hotels?”

Brex had to resist giving a shrug with his real body as he answered so he didn’t seem odd to any of the on-lookers. “I think for now, I'm just going to camp out in the Everfree. At least until these mare’s start to fucking calm down. I really didn't get a chance to talk with Daisy much. But both Lily and Rose said that a pony did sneak into the upper floor’s just to find me.”

“It might not be such a good idea to stay within the town limits when I sleep for the next few weeks. Beyond that, we'll just have to see how everything goes. Also, don't worry, I'll keep coming back now and then to see you all.” That last part earned him a relieved sigh from the other end of the connection and he ended up chuckling to himself just under his breath from hearing Rory’s reactions.

Brex then started to look around from where he stood and noted that he wasn't all that far from where Pinkie Pie works. He then started to think. “If she literally smells pastries all the time. Then how is she not gotten sick of it? I know I like things like pizza, but even I would grow tired of it after a while of being around it constantly. Now, what to do, what to do? Twilight is still getting used to the library.”

“So, putting myself in her life right now wouldn't really be all that nice. I already got to meet up with three of the mane six already and I really don't want to meet up with Rarity just yet. The longer I avoid her, the better. She has this attention to details, that it isnt something I want to chance in causing something to happen until I get myself settled here at Ponyville.”

“Besides, in a bunch of the stories, she ends up falling for the displaced character. There is absolutely no way in the Seven Hells, that I'm going to end up breaking Spikes heart by having her swooning over me! I know there's a one, in a billion chance that, that will happen to me. But I'm still not going to do that to him. Who knows, maybe in this reality they do get together. Hmm... Maybe I can push all of them to like him and make one of those Spike harems that I remember reading. Is he even old enough for that? I’ll keep that on the back burner. I’ll try to help with Rarity and the Cutie Mark Crusaders. He deserves that much.”

“Eh! Who am I kidding! My own love life is a complete mess. Especially with my girlfriend trying to play matchmaker.” There was then, a small giggle that he knew came from Rory after hearing that thought of his. After a few seconds passed. Brex suddenly remembered that there was one in town that he had completely forgotten to go and see. In a reluctant tone that just showed how thrilled he was to go, he thought. “I really, REALLY! Just hope that it doesn't turn out like it did the last time I came by.”

*Point of view: Brex Mith*
*Location: Ponyville General Hospital*
*Time: One-fifteen in the afternoon*

Right now, Brex had just walked through the front sliding open doors of the General Hospital for Ponyville and immediately made his way over to the reception counter. There, the Earth pony nurse who was manning the front, had immediately recognized him as soon as he had come through the door by the expression on her face. She was already holding down a button that was connected to an intercom and calling another on the other end before he even had a chance to say anything to her.

As soon as he had come to a complete stop while standing on the other side of the reception desk. He heard the mare saying, “Would you care to take a seat? The nurse will be right with you as soon as she's done with her current task, which shouldn't be all that long.”

After giving her a quick nod and a small thank you. The Roegadyn had gone over and sat in one of the many empty chairs in the lobby. After about fifteen to twenty minutes had gone by. He was finally approached by a nurse who had just come through a set of double doors and immediately led the way towards the examination rooms on the next floor up and down to the very end of the hallway.

She was an earth mare with a white coat, pink mane and tail, blue eyes, and a cutie mark of a medical cross with a heart in each corner. She had the familiar white gown that all nurses were known for, which included the short mini skirt and white stockings that stop short of the skirt. Along with one of those small hats that also has her cutie mark printed on it.

(Here is a pony picture of nurse from the show.)

Once they had gone into the room, the door was immediately locked as soon as Brex had entered with the nurse following closely behind. The nurse then spoke loudly in a young, yet authoritative tone. “Do you have any idea just how long it's been since your last physical?” Immediately afterwards, they both glanced to the door that had a tinted window that allowed one to tell if there was someone standing on either side of it. But not clear enough to see what was happening beyond it by a few feet.

After a few seconds of listening for any beyond the door. The pair then turned towards one another and started to silently laugh together. It was the nurse that was the first to speak after the laughing fit had completely left their system.

“I do so apologize for that my Lord. But I do have a reputation that I need to keep intact while here. With me not being a Unicorn to cast any healing Magic. It can be quite troublesome to keep the station of head nurse when you're only an earth pony.” Brex quickly responded to that, while at the same time waving his right hand and a dismissive manor. “It's quite alright.”

“That may have been in the past but now that the schools have been opened up, even Earth ponies can cast healing spells if they were to focus on that particular class. But to do so, for so many years while taking on the disguise of an earth pony must not have been an easy task for you.” This got him a subtle nod from the nurse as she pulled up a set of stools for them to sit on. She then spoke while showing a flash of emotion across her face for but a brief instant, that showed that she was thinking of something unpleasant.

“It's really all thanks to the one that I ended up replacing if I'm going to tell you the truth. Still… It was very unfortunate that she was unable to reach Ponyville when she was transferred. I know this really isn't something I should say, but it was a good opportunity for me to assume her identity.” From behind his mask. Brex would have been seen giving a murderous scowl towards the wall right behind Red Heart, as the thought of what he had found out when he and Ryu conducted their investigation of the Prize Noble household.

Close to a little over twelve years ago. The real nurse Red Heart, who was only known as red heart at the time with her being a filly. Had only just learned her cutie mark after helping a random Pony that she saw on the street who had gotten injured by an accident involving a random wagon that was speeding through the streets when the sun was about to go down. The poor thing was only doing what was right. But Brex had learned later on, that the one that got injured was being targeted by that noble family and intentionally planned on getting that pony injured so that their business would go under.

When she had administered first-aid, that was when Red Heart got her cutie mark and had plans on going to medical school. But unfortunately for her, that family didn't take very kindly with having their plans ruined by some random mare on the street that just so happened to have some medical supplies on hand, due to her coming back home after getting them at the local store just before the incident occurred.

Afterwards, Red Heart ended up having a string of incidents happening in her life which involved her mother passing away due to an unforeseen illness that had not been treated in time. Then, there was also the difficult year's during the medical training with how there was a constant problem with paperwork going missing and a few of the other students giving her a harder time than the rest. Finally, when she graduated and was about to enter her first job at the hospital that was located in the center of Canterlot.

She was suddenly told that there was a mistake and that she was not qualified to work there. But instead, was to be transferred to the General Hospital at Ponyville. She even had been notified that if she didn't get there right away then she was going to lose the position. She even tried to argue that she should have been given notice about this beforehand.

It would seem that the Prize family had orchestrated everything that had been happening to her and purposely set up the situation where they made it seem like to every other person, that she was notified but was neglectful in checking her letters. Which were purposely withheld.

Because of this. She had next to no preparation time and very little savings. The mare even had to drop everything immediately to pack up and catch the train down the mountain in order to get there in time to keep the job. But it would seem that they were one step ahead and caused an incident which delayed the train and this forced her to try and go on hoof to get there. In the end she never made it and was killed by a pack of monsters while on the road when she had gotten close to the Everfree forest.

Brex really wanted to punch himself in the face as hard as he could after realizing that even with the Prize family being gone. They had already put in the motion, a plan to ruin that mare’s life without him even knowing it was going on thanks to some of their side business partners. The nurse Red Heart in front of him right now, was really a Changeling who had been living in Ponyville for a while under an assumed identity of a pony from a city on the other side of Equestria, that had been stationed there for home repair work.

As it just so happened. There was an incident involving a construction accident where she had been able to avoid getting killed. However, by doing so, she had no way of explaining how she escaped when a building that was under construction had fallen on her after so many witnesses had seen it happening. Back then, she was also in the disguise of an earth pony so she couldn't say that she was able to use magic in her escape. That was when she came across the real nurse Red Heart, who was at the side of the road and on the threshold of death while the Changeling was leaving the town.

The Changeling did try her very best to use whatever magic she could at the time, in order to heal the earth pony. Unfortunately, at the time. She was running dangerously low on magic herself due to the sudden departure along with protecting herself from that accident. This also meant that the Changeling didn't have the strength to send a message through the hive connection. She had even used up so much of her own magic, that she ended up reverting to her natural state. Surprisingly enough, nurse Red Heart was unaffected by the site by what the Changeling had told Brex later on.

But before the Pony had passed on. Red Heart began to tell the Changeling about her life and even asked as to what species she was. Seeing as there was no point in keeping a secret from one that was soon to pass on. The Changeling and Red Heart began to talk as well as also exchanging questions and answers. Once the real nurse Red Heart had a good grasp as to what a Changeling was and the circumstances in which they met. She then asked something that surprised the Changeling immediately.

This turning out to be her giving permission to have her identity be used by the Changeling under the condition that she returns to Ponyville and does what she can to help as many as she could. Of course, as soon as Brex had found out about the death of nurse Red Heart. He was greatly saddened. However, upon hearing about what it happened. He immediately went into action and track down all of those who were apart of the plan to ruin the girl's life and expose all of their wrong doings. Safe to say, he had a hard time with controlling himself.

Those that were but a small part of the plan, had not known of the full outcome and were only a tiny cog within a larger machine. Those small fries were now in jail for taking those small tasks. But when it came to the ones that new the whole plan. They weren’t so lucky and had a private meeting with Brex after being taken. It was safe to say that they weren’t seen again and no more lives would be ruined through their selfish decision’s.

Brex really did want to try to use the resurrection spells afforded to his healing classes on nurse Red Heart. But over the years of conducting a few experiments on those that he found to be too far gone for redemption. The Roegadyn found that he had ended up becoming a little sadistic when it came to those that poked the figurative bee hive. It was also found that there were indeed some limitations to the use of them. First of all. The spell had no effect on those who have been dead for a certain amount of time. Then there was the condition in which their body was in.

If a good portion of them remained then the spell would work. Now if say, there was only a single arm or head, then the spell would not take any effect. Lastly, being of course the number of times one can be Resurrected in correlation to the negative buff that would take away twenty-five percent of their total stat numbers. He could in theory, revive a person indefinitely if he was to wait for the revived marker to wear off before casting it too many times to hit one hundred percent.

In nurse Red Hearts case, she had been long dead before he had received word about her condition. Even if he had been told about it, he was busy and would not have been able to get there in time. As he was going over what it happened in his head. He had suddenly felt a hand gently resting on his right shoulder and this caused him to come right back to the present. Only to see the current Red Heart looking at him with some genuine concern.

That was when she started to say, “My Lord. I may not be able to sense your feelings. But I've been around as a nurse long enough to tell when another is suffering. Whether it be through emotional, physical pain or through visual observations alone. I'm sorry about bringing up the past. I'm sure that if she knew what you had done after learning about her death, then it would have been more than enough.” This ended up getting her a slow nod as he said, “And I'm sure that everything you're doing in her name, is giving her far more comfort than I ever could.”

As to change the subject on hand. Brex then began to ask, “So, what is this I've been hearing about you turning down the position of a doctor only to remain as the head nurse?” This got Red Heart to pull away and sit back onto her chair while giving him a small giggle as she replied.

“Oh, I may be a nurse and everything, but I'm not too good when it comes to the more specialized areas. Thanks to being a Conjurer, I can fix most of the common ailments along with healing the light injuries. So, I'm content with that. It just makes more sense to let the ones that have the experience to handle the more difficult problems.”

That was when Brex started to think about how she couldn't use the revival type spells like he could. There was also the substantial difference in strength when it came to what they were capable of doing when put up against his game version of spells and physical abilities. For them, the revival spells don’t work on one who is fully dead. But instead, it stabilized their condition while leaving them dangerously weak and in need of additional aid. Where his spells would clearly be strong enough to even regenerate limbs that had been recently lost in battle.

Where they were only a fraction of the strength. He knew at most; Red Heart would be able to nearly mend a completely broken bone to far enough where an injury that would take close to half a year to heal, would be brought down to just a month or even a few weeks. He was quite happy that as long as the emergency response team had a competent healer that was able to constantly cast one healing spell after another. Then a critically wounded being would be kept stable until they reach the hospital to receive full treatment. Intern, the mortality rates from both monster and non-monster related attacks have plummeted greatly.

This was also due to the assistance being given by the, Apothecary Medicinal Traders. That he had put together with the knowledge of medicines and potions from his game world. Now and every party nearly all the members would carry around a few health potions as well as some other ones meant for dealing with status ailments. This causing the first aid kit to become substantially more effective with how injuries can be taken care of quickly instead of simply bandaging them up if they didn't end up having a Healer in the party, or if theirs was the one that had been incapacitated.

That was when he began to ask Red Heart something. “Also, in regards to that one matter that I asked you to look in on. Has there been any progress?” This only got him a short head shake from the mare when she said, “I'm afraid we've hit a small roadblock. We needed to get a sample but getting it has not been easy to say the least. We still have a few other options to try out before we'll need to ask for your help.” Brex released a heavy sigh, while shaking his head at hearing what was happening with his request. After a few seconds of looking down, he raised his head to look back at Red Heart before he began to ask another question.

“I remember you being the one that was looking after that Pegasus that nearly crashed a few days ago out in the field next to the fireworks display set up. She didn't end up getting a head injury, did she?” After hearing this. Red Heart immediately had a look of confusion as she tilted her head and raised an eyebrow inquisitively as she answered. “I don't think so. Why? Has she been acting odd that you've noticed?” This got her a quick response of, “Never mind.”

Afterwards the pair went on to discuss a few other matters that took close to half an hour to complete. But as soon as they were finished, he was standing from his chair. When he had fully stood up and had taken a few steps towards the door to leave. There was a painfully obvious attempt to get his attention through the means of a very loud cough. When he turned around, he saw how Red Heart was standing there with a clipboard in hand while giving him a mischievous look. That was when Brex began to mutter inside of his head. “I… Knew… It.”

She then began to walk up to him while swaying her hips in an alluring fashion, as she began to speak in a slow, sultry tone. “My Lord~. Don't you think it's about time we had that physical of yours. You don't have to worry about the others getting jealous about me being able to see what you look like under there. After all, I do have doctor-patient confidentiality. Moreover, it would be a great honor to be your personal physician.”

On the outside, Brex was apparently calm as a cucumber and had no reaction. But on the inside, he was almost screaming the following. “I knew it! I just knew she was going to pull that stunt again! At least she's not already trying to take off my robes. I can't really tell if this is just her usual base instincts due to being a Changeling or if it has something to do with her personal nature when it comes to caring for others. Heck! It could just be her curiosity in using this as an excuse to finally look under my mask. Out of all the Changelings I've ever met, she's the only one who's ever been this forward about it towards me.”

But before she could get any closer to try anything else. The Roegadyn had used the Prestidigitation spell and created an odor that closely resembled that of their Queen and released it into the room. Within a few seconds, he saw how she was sniffing the air and had a look of panic as she began to frantically turn to find its source. All the while speaking as if she was a kid that was in trouble. “It's! It's not what it looks like! I just wanted to make sure that the Lord-.”

But before she can go on any further with the weak attempt at an excuse and had her back currently turned to him. The bed sheet on a nearby small bed had been grabbed by him and toss so that it would land over the Changeling in disguise. Once it had fully fallen over her and there was a startled whelp coming from underneath that sheet. Brex had immediately hopped in place to escape by traveling through the Shadows.

As soon as he had popped out of the ground, he found himself to be in a familiar clearing that he had not been too for quite some time. Even with a few of the things around him having changed over the course of the last decade. He still recognized it to be the exact spot in which he had first awoke into this new world. That was when he sat on the exact spot and laid on his back that he was sure had to be where he opened his eyes for the first time and looked straight up at the sky that only had a few clouds in it.

After a few moments of this he had released a relieved sigh as he practically melted into the grass with how relaxed he began to feel. He was just about to close his eyes to enjoy the feeling. But quickly shot up into a seated position after hearing a faint resulting echo that resembled that of cracking glass. Brex tried to find out if there was anything nearby but nothing showed up on any of his methods of detection. So, after a couple of seconds, he merely shrugged before laying back down again and only thought of it as a figment of his imagination.

From that point on. Brex went on to make that area, his home away from home while camping near Ponyville. Of course, he would constantly go back and forth between the forest and HQ. During the night, he would be over and spending time with Rory more often awake than actually sleeping. So, whenever the day came, he would pop back up to his campsite and make his way through the woods until he had gotten to the edge to see how the town was doing before teleporting to a place that he could see was clear of sight from any of the residents.

This pretty much went on for at least the next three weeks and all of the females were beginning to get used to his presence and weren't acting like horny college girls that got so drunk that they'd even fuck a fire hydrant if someone was to put a wig on top of it.

Brex would still have some close run-ins when it came to the main six while walking around. There were a few occasions that he nearly gave in to his curiosity about the building that was being erected but kept telling himself that it was none of his business. All he knew, was that they were constantly shipping in new building materials and whatever it was that they were building, they really didn't want others to see until it was finished.

He would on occasion bump into the flower sisters and they would ask him as to where he was staying but always kept the answer vague. That was until one day that Rose was showing no signs of giving up after finding out that he was not staying at any of the Inns or hotels in town. Honestly, it surprised him a little bit with how she became so familiar with him over the course of nearly a month. She would even ask if he was eating all right. This was because of a small rumor that had been spreading due to the mare’s that kept an eye on him now and then.

Without any real need to have anything to eat or drink. Brex had neglected to go into any of the diners much less a grocery store for supplies. So that was the reason why Rose was so adamant about knowing about where he was staying. Brex knew that he couldn't really lie and say that he was staying in one place in particular within the town so he went ahead and told her the truth about camping in the woods. At first, she was confused and asked as to why he would travel so far back and forth every day from the Whitetail Woods. But Brex explained that he was actually talking about the Everfree.

It was safe to say, that she had a conniption at the very prospect of him staying in there. She even went through the whole song and dance about explaining why it was so unnatural in those woods and that it was far too dangerous to simply camp out at every night. She would go on and on about talking about the clouds moving on their own and the animals not needing any care. Then there were the plants that grew without control. Brex had to resist laughing out loud and repeating a line about how he was scarier than anything that they would see while in those woods. But he had this sudden urge to stop, because he knew what was going to happen next if that line was to be said and he didn’t want to see an exploding Rose.

When this whole conversation had happened. He was already on his third week of camping, but when the fourth came to a close. Rose had finally had enough and had fully confronted Brex about his living arrangements when he had seen her coming out of one of the hotels while he was walking down the street like he normally does. It was purely a coincidence when the two bumped into one another and Rose immediately grabbed onto his right arm in a vice-like grip using both of hers and try to drag them into the building that she had just exited.

After a few seconds it was clearly obvious that Rose had overestimated her Earth Pony strength when she found that she was beginning to sink into the ground, thanks to her hoofs grinding away as she tried to pull him along with very little results to show. She even resorted to screaming the following loud enough for any Pony within two or three blocks to hear clearly. “Just get in this hotel with me!!”

Before she had done that. There were the normal sounds of others being busy. But then the entire place had become so dead silent, that one could hear a single tumble weed being as loud as a set of drums being struck when blown around by the wind. When Rose finally noticed what she had done, she literally started to turn into the same shade as her darkest hair color out of embarrassment before she screamed out loud again. “It's nothing like that! Get your minds out of the gutter!”

After Rolling his eyes, Brex finally relented and walked inside while Rose was trying to recover from the bouts of embarrassment as the rest of the residents around were clearly whispering to each other in plain view of them both. Brex didn't really have to literally be able to hear the whispers or turn around to see that it was being done thanks to the chat window on the bottom left-hand corner of his View. He did happen to read some of the following being whispered within what he thought to be fifty yards from where he stood.

“Hay! Did you hear that? How straightforward of Rose…”

“What did you expect, she's the only one that he really talks to in town. Of course, the two of them are obviously involved.”

“Hold on, you can't be serious?! If they really were, then why did he move out of their place instead of staying there?”

“Do you think they had an argument and he left?”

“No, no. I heard from the other sister that he was only staying there for two days because all of the other rooms were taken back when we had all of those tourists for the summer sun celebration and the princess came by.”

“Oh, so that would explain as to why I didn't smell him in her room anymore last week. I thought that the scent was getting weaker. Was thinking that they just were washing the sheets better every time.”

“Did you really go sneaking back in there again? Really sis? Why did mother ever agree to let you go to the school and trained to be a Rogue. Just what do you think is going to happen when mom finds out you've been using it to stock a stallion?”

“Ha! Shows what you know! I bet you that she would be really proud that I'd go so far as to get myself a Stallion.”

“Just don't count on me to bail you out of jail when that backfires on you...”

Luckily, he was able to stop the flood of texts from filling up his chat window with an endless stream by going through the doorway and closing it behind him after Rose followed him in. As Rose was standing next to him and trying to regain her normal color. Brex began to think about one of the whispers that he did happen read in regards to his scent slowly going away from her room. After a few seconds of going over it in his head, he finally figured out that the mare must have been referring to the bed that he had slept on.

However, something just didn't really add up to him. From what he got, then his smell should have been washed out almost immediately if not nearly all gone once, they cleaned up after he left. This was when he started to think. “So, wait... Has she been sleeping on the sheets this whole time and has not once washed them? It would be a good idea if I didn't look into this. If anything, she's acting more like a sister than most of those male starved monsters in town. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that this was Fleur De Lis and disguise. But of course, she can't change her appearance and my senses aren't going off to say that Rose is a Changeling either.”

While those thoughts were going through his head. She had finally recovered and started to lead him up to the counter where a desk worker was currently standing and was apparently waiting for them to finally approach after coming in. This one was a male Earth Pony that was a light shade of tan coloring for his fur and a black mane that was trimmed a little shorter than he would normally see on any of the stallions he had managed to bump into and was comb to be parted down the middle. He looked to be around thirty years old and gave off a familiar vibe that he had a hard time and placing.

In a cheery tone. He quickly reached out and grabbed onto the Roegadyn's right hand and began to give it a firm handshake before introducing himself. “Ah this is the fella that you've been telling me about Rose. You must be Mister Gambit. You can call me Young Geezer.” Without so much as even thinking, Brex couldn't stop himself from blurting out his question upon hearing the stallion’s name. “Relation, Old Geezer?”

Apparently saying that old Pony's name that popped into his head from long ago during his first quest, had lit a light bulb in the stallion’s head with the way his expression changed to that of instant recognition. After letting out a loud laugh and holding on to the top of his head with his left hand for a moment. The one known as Young Geezer then said, “Hey, you must know my granddad. He used to run an apartment up until a few years ago but now he's gone and retired. I hear one of his tenants was hired to run the place in his sted afterwards.”

“Hmm... I have a real bad memory when it comes to names. I know that it was a mare that lived with their mother at that place for a while. I was pretty sure that it was green and red something. I'll get back to you about that when I finally remember what it was. Anyhow, Rose here came to me and had this weird idea about renting out a room under some very odd conditions.”

Rose had just stepped between Brex and Young Geezer and had both of her arms crossed while giving the Roegadyn a stern look, as well as a mischievous little smile before she started to speak in a matter-of-fact tone that left little room for negotiations by the sound of it. “I'm not going to let you camp out in that dangerous forest any more, do you hear me?! So, here's how it's going to go down. Either you start living in town and rent a room someplace or I’ll be the one to rent this room for you and you're going to have to live with the guilt that I'm paying for something I'm not using and it will be all your fault.”

Brex heard exactly what she said and figured it out immediately but was having a hard time with processing just what was going on all the same. Within his mind he began to think the following in rapid succession. “Hold on just a moment. Is she really just now trying to Blackmail me? Me?! Me, the man who power slammed their solar princess down from orbit. Me, the one who quite literally beat the shit out of Nightmare Moon?! Me who managed to fend off a sex crazed girlfriend on a regular basis to get work done from time to time?”

“I've even been living out there for so long now after coming to Ponyville, that I've even started treating that one Manticore that the girls ran into when getting to the Elements as a house cat that likes to sleep where I camp after I inserted my dominance over it when the overgrown cat had tried to get me in my sleep one night. Even though they are seemingly mindless, Timberwolves I've learned, tend to stay away from me by just smelling my scent on the wind alone.”

“And she really has the nerve to try and blackmail me in a way that would cause my sense of guilt to follow along with what she wanted?!” After those thoughts not even a second had gone by before he felt Rory jumping into the connection and imitating a voice that without a doubt, was from a cartoon character about a little blue monster from space and utter just one, single word. “EEH!” There was just a moment of silence within his mind before he quickly responded to that. “Wow, you can be really persuasive at times.” Before the connection felt like it had been broken. He could hear Rory giving another one of her small giggles.

Now, while all that was going on in his head, only a few seconds had passed in the real world and Rose was still looking for an answer as the hotels manager was looking over her shoulder at the same time with an expression of apprehension. At the same time, his eyes were going back and forth between both of them as to hear what the answer was going to be.

Without even giving Rose a straight reply. He had walked around her and right up to the counter and drop a small bag that was filled with bits. He then spoke in a flat tone. “Very well.” Even with him fully facing the stallion. Brex was able to catch a glimpse of Rose pretty much prancing and place out of joy of winning the argument with little effort. Of course, this didn't last too long as Rose had seemingly caught sight of the clock with in the entrance room and release the loud gasp before quickly exclaiming and allowed voice. “Is it really that late? I really need to get back to my work!”

She had then turned on her heels and darted out of the door and onto the street. Thereby leaving behind a bewildered Young Geezer and a somewhat confused Brex. That was when he started to ask himself from within his mind. “I really can't tell exactly what her motives are. Is she just doing this out of a sense of keeping a male safe or does she have a thing for me? No matter how I look at it, I get the same feeling from her that I do from Fleur De Lis.”

“Oh well, I guess if I'm staying here at night, then I won't be able to play around with fluffy so much anymore. Although, I will miss his purring. Thanks to his body being so large, it felt like getting a massage from one of those electric chairs when he was curled up around me and sleeping. Now what I really won’t miss, is waking up to him pulling my arm sleeve into his mouth and suckling on the whole thing. It can get really annoying to spend twenty minutes trying to get the smell of Manticore fur and drool off these robes. Makes me wonder if he was taken away from his mother too early to get past the hole weaning thing.”

Putting all of that aside. Brex completed his registration after writing the name Gambit on the books and paid with what was in the small pouch for up to a full month. The place that Rose had chosen for him wasn't one of those five-star style establishments with the gaudy details and artwork that just screamed that only the rich stay here. This was one of the ones that would be seen as in the center of the rating scale where it was quite clean and at the same time had that comfortable feeling like you were already at home. From what he could tell, there was probably a grand total of ten rooms all together.”

Just as it turns out, the place was exactly how Brex would have liked it to be if he had wanted to stay somewhere. Even with running so many businesses and raking in the bits like there was no tomorrow. Along with being looked up to like some kind of Big Shot. The Roegadyn didn't really feel completely comfortable with all of it. Once the keys were handed over, Young Geezer told him that he would be on the third floor and inside of room 304. Once everything was said and done, he waved goodbye as he wanted to go back out into town to take care of a few more things.

Nearly an hour had gone by since leaving the hotel and Brex got to see a number of things while roaming around trying to keep a low profile. He would make it a point to taking the not so heavily congested street, such as the one where most of the stalls would be set up. There happened to be a small bit of construction that was being done on one of the smaller buildings. That was when he got to have a good look at the construction Golem that was carrying a large amount of building materials that was laid on top of a long board and being carried with both of its hands on either side.

Afterwards, it would assist and holding up the sections of wall or a beam that would be going across for a ceiling in place while the workers went to work at attaching the parts together. From behind his mask, he couldn't help but to have a broad smile as he could hear the construction workers giving clear and brief commands to the Golem as to what it was needed to do. Clearly, they had been using it for quite some time with how they were able to get it to complete such exact motions, when the wrong word could cause it to fumble around and end up making a mess.

This model in particular he knew full well, seeing as it was the first full-scale Prototype that he had created a number of years ago. This was after first discovering the combination of using the Spells known as Detect Magic and Identify. During the observation, Brex was taking a stroll through memory lane of the time that he spent while in that other world his friend Ryu was from.

*Point of view: Brex Mith
*Time: Three and a half weeks after crossing over*
*Location: Piltover, over in Ryu's world*

For Brex. It has been a number of weeks after returning with Ryu. During that time, he had assisted here and there with the cleanup of the city and immediately started his classes over at the Academy. Thanks to his friends help, the Roegadyn got to go to a number of classes that were being hosted by some of the the League of Legends heroes, along with sitting in on a number of lectures. One of which being given by professor Heimerdinger himself.

When he wasn't expected to do any assignment. The Roegadyn would bury himself under countless texts inside of the library that had enough books to make even Twilight Sparkle stand there at the doorway with both a slack jaw and some drool dripping onto the floor if she had seen it. Well… Since he was in another world and had met their Twilight. He actually did get to see it once but only for a moment because she had gone there before.”

Ryu himself had even given a few lessons whenever he had the time and these consisted of focusing on the aspects of Dungeons and Dragons. With the Academy teaching him everything about Hextech. Brex ended up getting taught about Chemtech by a particular scientist that he wanted nothing more than to rip the guy’s eyes out after finding out about everything he had done. But held himself back knowing that Ryu had full control over him now.

At the moment, he was sitting inside of a pretty big room that was meant for only him to use. Inside was a bed made for his size and a number of shelves that contained some borrowed books and materials that were meant for drawing up schematics. There was even a few of his early inventions that he had been putting together after taking on the Artificer class. A few of which, integrated Dungeons & Dragons, Hextech and Chemtech into their designs.

Brex had just finished all of his studying thanks to his accelerated rate of reading and retaining of knowledge. If one had to measure everything that he had learned, then it was on the same level that a student would have to stay at the Academy for a good three to five years to fully understand that all. It really paid off that Brex didn’t need to eat or sleep and was at it pretty much twenty-four seven.

He even shuttered right there when recalling what he had gone through when they needed to get some materials that were at the bottom of the thin body of water along Piltover. This was where it connected the two oceans. Both he and Ryu were on a boat that was manned by a handful of sailors and had stopped in an area where they knew that it was at its deepest point.

Sense what they were looking for wasn't too hard to locate once you got down far enough. He had volunteered to go down seeing as he had the ability to breathe underwater thanks to a blessing, he got during the main quest line of his game where he helped a race of beast tribe people and was given the ability to go into the water without any trouble.

But had been immediately told by Ryu about the dangers of what's underneath the sea. Taking him at his word. Brex was going to stay on the boat while letting the professionals do their work. Unfortunately, by the time they had gotten out into the middle of the peninsula. Brex was beginning to feel a sense of uneasiness that made his stomach churn while looking at just how far away he was from shore and knowing just how deep it was underneath the boat.

After feeling the urge to want to get as far away from the water as possible during this little outing. He had started to make his way up on a set of steps that would lead him to the upper parts of the ship, where the wheel was located along with the captain that was running the boat. However, just as he was about to step onto the next-to-last step going up. His foot slipped on some oily fluid. This caused him to slip and begin falling down the set of steps.

On the way down, his body began to tumble and twist, along with making a series of odd sound that seemed quite comical at the time as he struck the steps in a number of ways down. Upon finally hitting the deck, he had taken one last bounce and ended up falling over a section of the ship that had no guard railing and landed into the water. Of course, he was pretty sure he did hear Ryu’s voice as he said, “WELL, SHIT!”

(Play this for a sense of how the others on the boat must have seen Brex falling down the steps.)

Brex was in a completely daze due to the multiple head impacts that he had suffered through thanks to a dozen steps or so and by the time that his mind had caught up to what was going on, he was already sinking pretty deep into the water. At that time, he quickly asked himself during his little vacation to Davy Jones Locker. “Huh? Wha…? Why do I have the urge to want to speak as if I have a Jamaican accent? Also, where am I and why is it so dark? Did I get knocked out or something, how long has it been?”

Before his thoughts could go any further, he suddenly heard this weird type of noise that reminded him of a whale in a way. But it gave off more of a grumbling hum more than the majestic sounds that he remembered hearing of whales off of the internet back on Earth. The sound had got him to turn his head towards the direction it was coming from and immediately discovered that the light was coming from the surface of the water high above.

But what he saw directly between him and the surface, turned out to be a large aquatic creature with teeth that were over four times his size, that was swaying its body and had begun to make its way at him. Once his brain had processed everything he was seeing and hearing. He began to scream as loudly as he could while flailing his arms about aimlessly for a few seconds before immediately summoning one of his mounts. Which turned out to be the Cruise Chaser mount and had it transform into his flight mode and he gripped onto it as it's zoomed towards the surface and narrowly avoided the large creature on the way up.

(Here is a picture of Sea monster and the Cruse Chaser mount.)

Due to its massive size. It took far longer than he anticipated to travel along the length of its upper dorsal fin and passed the rest of its body, before finally bursting from the surface of the water. Even after getting out of danger, Brex kept having his mount going higher and higher as he clung to it so tightly, that he was sure he was beginning to bend a few of the metal parts in his grip. All the while, stuttering to himself in broken sentences as he clenched his eyes shut from behind his mask. “FANGS… MOUTH. BIG, WET. VERY… VERY, BIG… FISH! N-NO FISH HAS ANY BUSINESS TO BE THAT BIG!!!

Later on, when he had succeeded in calming himself down and returned. He had found that the sea monster hunters had already caught it and was in the middle of bringing it on to shore with the use of a number of battleships that were modified for taking on these sorts of creatures. It was because of that day, that he realized that he had a fear that must have come from his old life, which happened to be, Thalassophobia. He literally had a phobia when it came to large bodies of water, including the enormous creatures that dwell in its depths.

It had been nearly several days sense that had happened and was currently back in his given room. Brex had just finished with reliving that little scare and was now clutching at both of his elbows while hunched over. At the same time, still repeating the same words that he said back then. After taking a few more moments to recover. Brex went back to looking over his current spread out papers of numerus schematics. Some of which, were randomly put together devices while a few were mainly focused on ship designs that didn't involve touching the water at all.

But over the course of the last couple of days, he was hitting one roadblock after another. The current airships that they had right now, didn't have the right type of propulsion system that would have been required for larger ships he had in mind to be kept in the air. Unless they wanted to heavily rely on gas or hot air.

In doing so, would have put an enormous strain on the supplies that would have been needed. So, after a little bit, his frustration had grown to the point that he ended up grabbing onto a few random pieces of parchment and threw them over his head after giving a quick glance for not even a second and screaming that they weren't right or it was all wrong.

Thanks to this being his personal quarters, the door was securely locked in the same way that he had fortify that one door at the Adventurer's guild over where High Road and Low Road worked at. Which meant that he was in his relaxing clothing and without his mask on. So, after having his little bout of frustration. Brex was leaning the top half of his body over his desk, while his lower half was still seated in his chair.

As the left side of his face was firmly pressed down onto one of the schematics. Brex was looking straight ahead along the desk. He felt that a momentary distraction would be the best cure for his overtaxed mind. Seeing as he didn't really have the will to move. Brex mentally brought up his menu options and selected the minion tab. Up until then, he never really even looked at it, much less opened it up. Seeing as it was a purely cosmetic option in the game, Brex didn't really see any merit and using it other than for personal entertainment.

Due to how he was currently feeling completely rundown. Brex didn't feel much like searching through the many minions that he had collected and went right for hitting the randomize icon that would automatically summon any that he had in his whole collection. That was when there was a sudden poof of smoke that appeared on the end of his desk right where he was looking at. An instant later, the smoke screen vanished and it revealed a nearly foot and a half tall version of a rock Golem that he had gotten from doing a special event in the game where they had a Dragon Quest crossover.

(Here is a picture of the minion that he summoned.)

For a little while, he just stayed motionless as the minion walked back and forth across the wide table top. In the game, it was just to simply follow the player around and maybe make a few motions with its body, but that was pretty much it. Once when it came very close to a random pencil that Brex was using a short while ago. He noticed how it pulled its leg back just before stepping right on top of it, which would have caused the miniature Golem to slip and fall. This had piqued his interest and seeing the way it avoided an obstacle, made him begin to wonder to himself, what it would be like if it could pick up that pencil.

Just to be silly, he went and asked it if it could do that for him and to his surprise, it looked towards the pencil and immediately went right on over to pick it up and held it over his shoulder like one would see a person holding a two-by-four piece of wood. Of course, this caused him to start blinking repeatedly after seeing this action and proceeded to give it one order after another to test out just how well it could follow them all. Back then, he had hardly no idea of how much time he had lost while playing around with this minion toy.

But as a result, he had found out that it was capable of so much more than back in the game. Just like his own spells and abilities. Of course, it had its own limitations and was only able to follow the most basic of commands one at a time. Whenever he had attempted to give it a series to follow. The Rock Golem would just stop and place until he gave it a single order once more. Out of wanting to know more about what it could do and its reasoning abilities.

The Roegadyn had even gone through the trouble of setting up a number of objects that he grabbed from within the room and placed them on the ground to make a type of miniature maze that was barely as tall as itself and ordered it to go from one end and exit from the other.

At the end of his test, he found that it had the ability to circumnavigate the easy maze. But on one section of it, he had made it so that there were two paths to take that would still take it to the end. At the beginning of one of them, Brex placed a bunch of round balls that acted as a trap and saw how the Golem had taken the path with least resistance. This meant that it not only was capable of avoiding immediate dangers, but was also able to show some forethought to a degree when completing a given task.

Because of all that. Brex found himself putting aside his need to finish his current task for now and went full-on into looking into his minions a little further. One after another, they were brought out and he tested their abilities to take his commands, their way of moving around and reactions toward certain obstacles in their path. He even got the idea to try and use his Identify spell that he had recently gotten a hold of, after leveling his Artificer class on one of the summoned minions.

This revealed that they were classified under a completely different branch of magic that didn't have a name. Because in his head, all he got was a set of question marks. That was when he decided to refer to them as, Aetheral Constructs. When he did that, the question marks had immediately turn into those very same words. That was when he began to see an image in his head of a red leather-bound book. Right as the cover had been opened, it showed that there were no pages attached to the books binding.

He was quite confused as to how this happened, yet he got no other information after using the identify spell a second time. But there was this strong feeling that there was something hidden just underneath that he really had to get. So, out of desperation, he tried to cast two Spells at the same time. Those consisting of Identify and Detect Magic. When he did these two in tandem.

It in the sense, cause a type of magical sonar pulse to go through the object that he was trying to identify. This ended up making the image of the item in question being within a perfect cube that was just bigger than its dimensions and it began to be sliced apart. This revealing layers of information right through to its core.

This caused a wave of exhilaration to flood his mind as he watched as each one of the pages were carefully put into order within the new books bindings that he had created in his mind. Once the spell had ran its course over the span of a minute, he pulled his hand away and found that he knew everything there was when it came to not only how the magic itself and creating the form that it was added to. But in addition, had a greater understanding that he knew that he could improve upon it himself.

Because of what he had discovered. Brex used this new combination of spells on each one of the minions and discovered various ways of implementing Aether in different forms and even how to construct the machinery which would work with them. This even included anything to do with a particular minion he would call out. After a while, he even got to the ones that were meant for flying and when he looked over the toy ship minion that all players eventually got. The Roegadyn had finally learned just what he was missing when it came to the project that he had been working on for so long.

It felt as though everything was missing a particular part, which held it all together and this one toy ship literally had the linchpin that he'd been searching for. So, during his off time, when not working on something important. Brex would do some personal research into his minions and come up with various ways of using them outside of their intended purposes.

*Point of view: Brex Mith
*Location: Ponyville*
*Time: The Present*

Brex was right now watching the large Golem picking up some equipment and hoisting it up to the next floor through an open wall that had been removed. It had taken a few years to finally get down how to create a larger version of the Golem, who was currently working right in front of him. The very first fully working model that he had created for practical use. He even had some help from the hero that created Blitzcrank, who is called Victor. Thanks to the classes that he had him as a teacher for and implemented some of the mechanical designs into his Golems.

It was safe to say, that if he wasn't wearing a mask then. It would be obvious to any that was walking by that alone tear was cascading down the right side of his face. This was a result of pride for not only figuring out how to make a Golem just like those and anime through a decent amount of hard work on his side. But also because of how he was able to see his very first real creation out in the world and doing such a great job along with appearing to be as good as new as the day it was brought into the town.

It was obvious that the ones who were using his creation, were taking great care of it and he wasn't sure if this was feeling was due to one or the other, perhaps a combination of both. That was just when one of the workers on the second floor had slipped near the edge and had started to fall. But as soon as a startled cry for help had escaped their mouth, they were swiftly caught by a set of two large hands that quickly moved underneath and caught the mare only after dropping down a few feet.

After seeing how his creation had immediately sprung into action in order to protect another from harm, was just what he needed to see to make his day. Even after all these years, the core programming was still intact. One of the underlined directives was to ensure the safety of the towns citizens when it was possible. Even if it meant disregarding a direct order. Of course, that didn't apply to him because each one of the Golems that he and made was programmed with the number one rule to obey any and all orders that he was to give. That also included Rory herself with the second highest authority.

When he had left the construction area, he found himself wandering towards the General Store and began to think to himself. “Now that I got some time and I don't have to wander all the way back to the Forest. I think I'll head on in there and see if they have any of those trading cards for me to look at. Would be interesting to know just how they scale the ranking system here in Equestria for the adventurers.”

*Point of view: Third Person*
*Location: The other side. Little Lights room*

Just like before, everything started with the ringing of a class fell and Little Light had come into the classroom through one of the side doors and takes a quick look over to see that all of those from before had returned. The only difference this time however, was how a few of them had brought along something to keep themselves preoccupied until the class started by the looks of it.

Little Moon was busy playing away at some handheld game and muttering something about running out of balls and wanting to be the Master. As for Daddy, he had out a book but Little Light knew that it was just ploy with how it was currently upside down thanks to how she saw the cover. Then there's also judging at the way he has a slight blush on his cheeks and having one of those manic grins that could only imply that it was no doubt a dirty magazine in disguise.

The only other difference, was how she saw Mother at a seat that was just a few rows back and glancing over at Daddy, while giving him a sideways death glare. All of this only causing Little Light to shake her head and move one of her hands up to show that needed a moment to nurse a small headache. Once she had sufficient time to recover, she started to call the class to order. But it appeared that Daddy didn't hear it and was still reading away. That is if one could call it reading, when all they're doing is staring straight ahead at their book and drooling.

Apparently having more than enough, Mother stood from where she was and brought both of her hands together and blasted a fluorescent white and blue beam of energy and disintegrated what was within Daddy's hands after a small flash upon impact. To which startled the old man and caused him to fall out of his chair with a thud. Only to bring himself back up while crawling onto the table with both of his hands frantically and trying to pull the ashes back together. As he was doing this, he was screaming bloody murder along with a stream of tears. “No-no-no-no-no-no-no! T-That was a limited edition! H-How could you! You heartless woman!”

Mother seemingly quite proud of herself, crossed their arms and sat back down with a triumphant grin plastered on her face and remain silent to enjoy her victory. All that Little Light could do, was shake her head in resignation before calling out to the class. “Settle down everybody and you too Daddy. You know better than to bring something like that to class. Now would anyone like to remind the rest of us as to where we left off?”

The one to speak next was Lisa when she stood up and began to methodically list out the following. Last time, we went over a brief description of what a Dark Knight class is, along with an explanation on some of the spells and skills. You still haven't gotten around to telling us about the Paladin or about either of those two unrelated spells that I mentioned before.”

Little Light gave a curt nod to Lisa before she opened up one of the drawers to her desk and pulled out an orb that was much like the one from before, but of a different color. This one comprising mostly of a sea color light blue, with some lighter shades of blue held Within. This one was then tossed towards the chalkboard behind Little Light and it produce the same effects as last time and depicted a series of events stopped in time for each one of the corresponding spells and abilities that was to be brought up today.

After clearing her voice, she used her crop and pointed towards the first of the screens. Starting on the top left side, before she started to speak in her now usual teaching tone. “Okay class, what we see here is a defensive ability given to the Paladin class. When it was back in the game World. This one was only capable of shielding the rest of the party members who stood behind user for a certain percentage of oncoming damage. However, as you can see now, that it has taken on a real form, Brex has effectively made it into a full damage reducing shield where he himself is taking on the responsibility of shielding others completely.

“The duration is up to ten seconds long, but does have a long cool down time that has been stretched to five minutes. So, he is unable to use it back-to-back. Now as for the reason I started with this skill, instead of giving you a rundown of a Paladin is to have this be an example as to what they are about.”

“Paladin as one might think by the name, are the iconic symbols one would picture when a tank is brought into one's mind. Out of all the tank classes within the game that Brex is from, they are the only one that actually use a shield. While all of that class are able to draw the attention of their opponents and survived long enough to be healed even through heavy damages being sustained. The Paladin is the only one who prioritizes a good portion of their abilities towards protecting their allies. While at the same time, making their own bodies nearly indestructible for short bursts of time.”

“On the next panel, you will see that he is mid motion of throwing his shield while charging at the Hydra.” This was when Jet pointed towards the picture and called out in a joking tone. “Wait! Not only are Paladins the goody-two-shoes of the tanks. But they also pull off a Captain America move too? Next thing you're going to tell us, is that they used to be in the Boy Scouts and they can use holy magic.”

Little Light gave a not so enthusiastic cough before she continued after the interruption. “No, I won't say that a Paladin had to go and be a Boy Scout. But yes, they do use holy or in other words, light-based magic. They are capable of using they're holy magic to do a number of different things. One of which I will describe after I'm finished with this skill known as the shield throw.”

“This skill is used on a single target, but seeing as the Hydra with its multiple heads count as one. It was easily something that the shield could take full advantage of and that explains how it was able to hit every one of the heads on a single throw. What's more is that no matter what, the shield will always return to the user immediately. This way, no matter, what the Paladin is pretty much never without their offhand weapon.”

“Going on to the next screen. This is when he is currently in midair and has implemented another skill, which is a type of area of effect attack. Upon doing initial damage, it has the added benefit of causing a damage over time effect or you could say, a bleed out for a short duration. After some analysis of the fight, I came to the conclusion that it also had the added benefit of stunting this particular hydra’s ability to regenerate, because of the constant damage it was inflicting.”

When little light was done with that picture, she swung around her riding crop until it was pointing to the fourth screen. This one clearly shows that Brex had just slammed his shield into the side of one of the hydras faces. What made it quite funny however in this shot, was how the eyes of said Hydra we're bugging out like a cartoon character's would from the sudden strike. Of course, this got most of those in the audience to start laughing. Which in turn got Little Light to turn to them with a strange look of confusion, before she turned around and saw what was on the screen.

It wasn't until after a few seconds had passed, that all the laughter began to die down and left just one that was easily identified to be Bart. Said kid was on the ground behind his desk and could be heard rolling as he knocked over his own chair and was now repeatedly bumping into Lisa's.

Little Light on the other hand, was in a foul mood by the way she was now pinching the bridge of her nose and obviously trying to hold back from doing something to the kid. Even though the hand that was holding onto the crop was squeezing hard enough that it was beginning to create that leathery sound of the material creaking in her grip.

What she did and said next had cause all sound within the room to completely cut out and for Bart to climb back into his chair to assume a perfect little angel pose with his hands together and a cartoonish halo to appear over his head. Although he seemed fine, the yellow cartoon character was clearly showing a bead of sweat on the right side of his forehead as he tried to stay perfectly still.

“That's strike one Bart… If you continue, then I wouldn't mind giving you a private lesson on what I learned from my last boyfriend.” As she was saying that, Little Light was giving him a straight face that had this slight hint of a smile that could just barely be perceived. Along with a dead gaze that could freeze even the flames of hell themselves.

With everything going back to the way it was, aside from the now terrified troublemaker and the messed-up picture on the board. Little Light went on with her lesson. “Putting aside the newly added artwork, you can see that this looks like a common shield being used as a weapon move. It is in fact the skill that is primarily focused for stunning an opponent up to a set number of seconds.”

“For Brex, he is capable of using it to its full degree and can extend this up to a grand total of thirty seconds. This depending on how effective it is on what is struck. You would also be interested in knowing that the size of the shield doesn't really have that much of an importance on its overall performance either.”

“Whether it be a full-body kite shield, which could hide a fully grown earth pony or even something the size of a pot lid, just roughly bigger than the size of one's fist would have the same outcome if used for this technique by the Paladin. But please keep in mind that throwing the shield and bashing it against an opponent are two completely different things. Now on to the final set.”

On the last part of the pictures, one could see three images. Starting from the top and going down in freeze frame motion shots. It slowly illustrates what was being done for these. Little Light motion from one to the next as she began to speak. “As you can see, I am putting these three weapons skills together because they are the Paladins weapon combos.”

“Once the first strike was made. The second technique that was used in order to cut most of the second head off, had the added ability to restore the user's Mana. But taking Dark Knight from earlier into account, this also drains the Mana from its opponent now that it has become a real move.”

“The third and final strike of the combo was the technique that he called out as, Royal Authority. Which just so happens to be an evolved weapon skill from an earlier version that he had learned at a lower level. Now this finishing move did have an additional skill, but Brex had no current need for it, instead it was the raw power being built up that gave him what was needed to land the last strike needed to fell the beast.”

This time it was mother who raised her hand and this caught the attention of all of those in the classroom including Little Light, who just stood there Frozen out of shock. Taking it as a cue to go ahead and speak with how they were all staring at her. Mother asked, “You mentioned raw power. I take it that all of these methods of attacking have a measuring system to know just how strong something is?” After hearing the question, Little Lights eyes were pretty much sparkling before she waved her crop towards the images and returned everything back to normal.

The very moment she got the orb to return to her hands and placed it away, she immediately started to answer Mother's question with a great deal of enthusiasm. “Oh yes, yes! I should have gone over that at the very beginning, shouldn't I? Back in the game world, all actions that are taken against an enemy or an ally are measured for their damage and potency. The only reason why they are referred to by these two methods of labeling, is because damage is for causing harm and potency refers to the power of Healing.”

“Let's take as an example, the Cure spell. This is a single target healing spell has a cure potency of five hundred. Now, as a character levels up, the description of said spell will not have that number go up or down. instead, it is an indication of its overall effectiveness. While there may be some others that have special conditions where the potency is only two hundred and fifty. Now, keep in mind that as a character grows stronger, their HP or Health Points are going to go up substantially and could easily reach up to around three thousand or higher.”

“If one was to go off with the description for the spell. Then it would be reasonable to think that the healing spell would have to be used the grand total of six times to completely heal another that has such a high amount of Hit Points. But that's not entirely the case. Just because it says five hundred, it doesn't mean that you're going to heal for that number every time. It depends on the level of the caster. So, if you were to have two individuals who are the same level. With one being a tank and the other one as the healer, then your spell would only have to be administered two or three times to get the job done.”

“This of course, brings me back to before when I mentioned the raw power of that last strike for the weapon combo. Let's see, when he immediately used that third technique. Its base damage output was two hundred and twenty. Using the same technique at the right time for the weapon combo with boost the base damage up to four hundred, which is nearly double.” When Little Light was finished, any could see how Mother had a thinking expression before hearing her bringing forth another question.

“What I would really like to know now, is just how strong is he compared to say… A very fit human being from Earth?” This was accompanied by a small chorus of cheers from all of the others in their seats. It was Jet who is next to speak. “Hey there Little Light! We get that these skills have these effects and all. But all we are getting are these numbers.”

“For those of us who don't play video games all that much. It'd be a lot easier if you just gave us something simple to do as a comparison, just like Mother said. Let's put what he can do up against what would be thought as a normal for weight lifter for strength or how fast is he compared to a gold medal Olympic runner. At least you can tell us how many times stronger he is to a normal Pony from that world he's on now, right?”

Little Light stood there in silence while blinking slowly for about a few seconds after hearing the question, before she had a wide smile on her face. The very moment that she had opened her mouth and was about to give a reply. The bell for the class started to ring and she had a devilish smirk before letting out for the rest to hear. “You're going to have to wait till next time. Make sure you're not late for class...” This earned her a few boos and groans before what was seen went dark.
