//-------------------------------------------------------// The Equestrian Campaign -by Chaos crystal- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Meeting the Merchant //-------------------------------------------------------// Meeting the Merchant Chaos’s POV (Dreamscape) Everything is burning around I can me, I could hear the screams of my citizens my people being attacked by our own guards turn traitor for reasons I don’t know I’m trying to save as many as I can while heading to the castle to ask my parents what we should do, I enter and see my parents just as they’re dismissing the captains of the guard. "Mother, father the people are being attacked by our own guards turn traitor, what do we do." "We are handling it right now we order all guards that are still loyal to help get the citizens to the evacuation portals but we also got distressing news." "What could be more distressing than this we’re being betrayed by our own." "The other kingdoms are reporting the same it looks like they’re being attacked by their own troops turned traitor too." My eyes widen. "I need to get Chrysalis and Sombra they asked to play at the orphanage today." "Son they’re to far out there I’m sure their caretaker has them to the closest evacuation portal." "I don’t care, I promised when I took them in, I would protect them I won’t leave them alone." I was about to leave, but then the door closed and a magic seal with our family crest on it locked it. "Open the damn door. "I say trying to keep calm. "Son please." "I said open the damn door!" I yell unleashing my aura and turn around with a rage full face, but it soon disappears when I see their tear-stricken faces. "We’re sorry but we can’t lose you too chaos we lost your brothers your all we have left along with my grandbabies." My mother says through her tears. "We promise to make sure their safe but you must go." My father says. "Go, no I will not abandon my people none of them, I have been protecting them and defending our citizens no matter what race, species, or religious standing, I will no abandon them in their most dire time.* "And we won’t lose our last son." Then I start feeling a force keeping me in place and restricting my movements. "No, you can’t do this, I have a right as their future king to defend them." "And we as parents have a duty to save our son." I then feel the air around me start being suck in, I look and I see a portal. "N-no you can’t." "We’re sorry." "Please don’t." "We love you son." They both gather magic in their hands and blast me into the portal and then everything goes black. (End of the dream) "No!" I scream out of my dream with fresh hot tears streaming down my face I look around and I see I’m back in my room in the house I share with my orphan siblings, I put my face into my hand and cry. "God dammit why couldn’t they have let me stay and fight, I don’t even know if my citizens were able to get away or any of our allies." I say weeping into my hand. Then my door is busted down, I look and its blaze. "Chaos, buddy are you alright." She asks. Blaze Thomas Hair color; red Eyes: dark maroon Height:5’7 She is our groups resident tomboy she was really the first friend I ever made in school she loves sports like football, hockey, soccer me personally think she likes them cause of the violence that can happen in them, she’s also great at fighting and working out, she may put up a tough gritty front but to our and her family she’s loyal and really kind, and when me and my friends have played DND she’s our dragonborn mage but we all always multi class in our campaigns so she doubles as our bard. She sees the tears." You had the dream again." I wipe the tears away. "Yep, like clockwork the twenty-second time in my life." She comes over and hugs me. "Shh it’s alright it’s just a dream." "I wish I could say the same." I thought while hugging back. We stay like that for a while. "Better." "Yeah, a little thanks blaze." "Hey what are orphan siblings for." "Yeah." I say with a smile. Yeah, that’s right from prince to orphan not that I’m complaining but does definitely feel weird, me and my other friends all met when the orphanage mother found me one day on the streets lost, hungry, beaten, and missing an arm and a leg that’s also the day escaped from that “place” freeing the others and I stayed behind to burn that place to the ground, I don’t know where the others are now, but I hope they’re okay some of the bastards escaped and I haven’t been able to find them but enough on that. "Alright if your feeling better get up time for breakfast we got a big day today." "Umm." "You forgot didn’t you." "Maybe." "The cons today so we need to get ready, need any help getting on your leg and arm." "No thanks I’ll start getting ready." "You better it was your suggestion." She says leaving once she was away. "I’m sorry everyone but I need to do this to see if my people made it out ok, I hope you can forgive me one day." I start moving to the edge of the bed and pull a case out from under the bed open it to reveal and bionic leg and arm, I put on the arm still tingly every time then I take off my pants and underwear to be able to put on my leg. "Goddess above I’m still not use to this." I think back to the dream." I really hope your safe my love bug and my little umbra prince if those bastards hurt you then they better pray I don’t get my hands on them." I get dressed in my costume for the con and look in the mirror and it was just a simple present’s garb. And I only hope my citizens can for give me I know I don’t deserve to rule them anymore but I need to make sure they’re ok and I definitely hope the guys will forgive me leaving them but I need to the evacuation portals would have dropped off my people in the least hostile dimension and who knows how long have passed since that day but it’s my duty to make sure they’re ok. Unknown to me the twins were listening to my conversation with myself. 'What is big bro chaos talking about is he leaving us'. Tear go down both their face.'No, we won’t lose another family member, we all won’t.' They think determined and hurry off to their room. I get finished and head to the kitchen on the way I could smell the food, when I was transported here I lost my ability to transform to my other forms but kept all my enhanced abilities and I also was majorly de aged to the age of four and was found by the orphan mother when I was twelve and I also started aging like a normal human and not like the ones back home, I still question if that was my parents intentions for when I entered the portal. I enter the kitchen to see some of my other friends, I look at my friend sparks a very petite boy but mature for being the third youngest of our group. Spark Nova Hair color: electrified yellow Eye color: yellow Height: 5 feet He showed up at the orphanage a few years after me and two others, has a child like nature but can be serious when the time calls for it and has a slight weakness to sweets like the twins, during our DND campaigns he’s dual classes as a swashbuckler and detective but always a great help in investigation checks and finding clue that help later in game, his chosen race is a high elf. Next, I see the two love birds in the group Rook and Steel now even though we’ve been raised as siblings nearly our whole lives, once these two saw each other they immediately fell for each other, true they didn’t confess to each other right away it took years mixed with teasing from us on how obvious it was and them finally figuring it out for themselves. Rook master Hair color: dark brown Eye color: hazelnut Height: 5’8 Another reliable friend that would be great to have in a fight or to just hang out with, him along with Steel and blaze are the oldest out of everyone can despite his rough looking features you’d never expected him to be kind of a teddy bear with a love for animals heck he and Steel volunteer at animal shelters and he’s in school to be a vet and animal caretaker wanting to open his own animal sanctuary for stray animals, in DND he along with steel are our tanks him primarily playing a monk but will also multi class to a beast tamer. Steel Grant Hair color: steely gray Eye color: silver Height: 6’2 Steel is definitely what you call the overprotective older brother type and definitely overprotective of Rook when someone harasses or is rude to him trust me you’d be on the floor missing teeth we told him when we were younger he should be a good wrestler but he always said he didn’t want to worry Rook about getting hurt so he settled with a simple construction job it pays well but he always tells his bosses who offer him manger positions that he’s doing the job until Rook gets his sanctuary up and running but promises the company first crack at any construction they’ll be needing, he’s our other tank in our party he classes as a paladin and multi classes as a cleric so he’s our second healer both him and rook play a Goliath and werebear when playing, ironically they’re both religious and won’t abandon their beliefs even there beliefs say it’s wrong for them to be together which I find honorable. Blaze notices me. "Ah nice of you to join us breakfasts almost done." "So will the others be joining us." The we feel an explosion from underneath us and we sigh. "It’s too early for this." "I’ll get them." I get up from my seat and head to our basement, as I get closer to the door, I hear yelling, I open the door and see two of my orphan brothers yelling at each other. Nicholas Tsunami Hair color: turquoise Eye color: ocean blue Height:5'11 Behind blaze he's the second oldest , he's got a bit of a temper mostly when someone bullies our younger siblings, he and one of our other orphan siblings have a health competive side and also coincide with their dnd characters both are gunslingers in their own rights one being a sharpshooter which is Nicholas and is another dragonborn funny enough Nicholas is also a professional sharpshooter few years in the military and rest In hunting, after he came home it took everything we had to keep him from breaking down and we got him the help he needed he still has the occasional nightmare but that's all and for the person he's arguing with. Timothy or Tim Richardson Hair color: dirty brown Eye color: heterochrome right:red, left: yellow Height: 5'10 Now Tim is kind of the sane as Nicholas just don't let them hear you say it they have some of the same likes and dislikes and you wouldn't know this from first glance that they are both a lawyer and prosecutor at looking at them at a gamers perspective they act like Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth in the court without the whole evil mentor with Nicholas and they act completely professional when they're on the same case not taking advantage of the other Tim's also a mild tinker and makes toys for charity's like I said earlier they have a rivalry which oddly enough doesn't come from them being a lawyer and prosecutor but just cause their personalities clash, Nicholas being super serious at times and Tim being laid back but no matter what they never let it get in the way of them being brothers hell it makes them closer, Tim plays a hybrid in dnd a human/goblin gunslinger/artificer his character and the twins are the groups blacksmiths/equipment makers keeping everything in peek condition and upgrading if need be and they along with spark having identify and appraisal proficiencies which helps. I tune back in hearing them yell. "You damn mad scientist how many times do I have to tell you becarful with those inventions!" "And how many times do I have to tell you be careful around my equipment and shit wouldn't explode!" I sigh. Like clockwork you two. They look. "Oh hey bro." I smile. "Hey you two I see your getting your arguing out of the way before we go to the con." "Oh yeah that's today good thing we got everything out of the way and all our work done." "Yeah last case was a nightmare too the nerve of my client trying to trick me." Tim says annoyed. "Well at least we got the right verdict." "Yep, rich assholes." I flinch a bit a that since I us to have a small fortune ass my allowance true I used it more on my people but that doesn't change that I was loaded. So after you get breakfast go get cleaned up and change alright. "Right then let's head up see you there bro." Yeah I'll go wake up the others. "Good luck you know how some are." "Yeah yeah." I head up stairs and head to the possible easiest of them jack. I go to the door and knock, no answer. "Hey jack I'm coming in." I open the door and see him laying in bed, but not alone cause cuddling up to him is my other orphan sister Melissa Drake. Jake Drake Hair color:lime green Eye color:swamp green Height: 5'9 Now unlike Rook and Steel , him and Melissa are married for a few years now and they're really happy, Jake is the type of guy you can ask him too get something and he can find it no problem he's charming and has a way with words he's gotten me and few of us out of trouble with the law, me mostly cause I've still been look for the rest of those bastards and may have hacked into a few government databases to do so he and our brother frost are thought to be the most well mannered of us which I can't blame them since when I first came here I lashed out at time, him, blaze, Melissa, frost, and rook were the first to welcome me and help me with my nightmares /PTSD and help me get to know the other, Jack here is and martial art instructor teaching kids and some adults to defend themselves, he's our second hybrid of the group in dnd an Aarakocra/air genasi and a magical swordsman who dual wields Melissa Drake Hair color: forest green Eye color:meadow green Height:5'2 Melissa is the shyest of the group around other people but with us when it comes to us being reckless, dumb, and all around troublemakers she known to put her foot down and give us what for, not going to lie she scares me at times and I faced gods as sparing partners, anyway she and jack run a dance studio they teach tradidancer to modern to free style even when she was younger everyone said she and jack loved to dance so I guess that's what inspired her character in dnd too and really got into gardening it would always help spruce up the house, true her main class is a powerful dyrad druid but she multi classes into a bard but is belly dancer of it so instead of her singing she dance's to give bardic inspiration and she either uses swords or daggers so in a way she's somewhat a sword dancer I chuckle. "Hey you two time too get up blaze made breakfast." Jack is the first to answer and wakes up.*yawns*" alright little bro I'll get my little flower up." But we both hear. No, more cuddles. This gets a chuckle out of us until she says. "And besides its your turn to wake up our kids your their uncle." This makes jacks face go crimson and me to burst of laughing and I just add to the fire. "Will do I'll make sure their down for breakfast." I say while jack glares at me as I hurry out I head too the twins room its the last room in the hall, I was about to knock on the door but it opens and I'm tackled but two people our youngest siblings Ben and Gwen Redgrave Ben & Gwen Redgrave Hair color: chrome silver Eye color: light red Now the final members of our little family and the youngest they came around when I was four teen and they were four the caretaker found them a few years after finding spark they definitely didn't trust us and cause they didn't talk to us we all assumed they were mute but somehow they started opening up and to me of all people the other asked what I did but I couldn't figure that out why and after they came in that completed our little family we have been through a lot and I became very protective of my younger siblings, these two and spark are home schooled by all of us, we came to this decision after the orphan mother died years ago and all the others found homes, sure we all got offers to go to homes but we told them the same thing we're a package deal so years prior the orphan mother decided that she would adopt all of us and turn the home she owed for holding the orphans into our family home and we were happy and in our mothers last moments she said how proud and loved us all no matter what, a lot of us took it hard especially the younger siblings but we got through it and stuck together knowing each one of us was broke in someway we wouldn't talk about, but enough of that these two are balls of energy but also like Tim they are extremely smart and the inventor types they have the same likes and dislikes and at times can tell what each other are thinking and finish each other's sentences kind of creepy and I've fought nightmares of unimaginable power seriously my life was nuts compared to this one but wouldn't trade it, anyway in dnd these two somehow figured out how to make two characters seem like one just like them there characters are twins and are young forge master dwarves they both use different weapons though Gwen uses a great Axe and Ben uses a sword and shield like I said earlier they along with time are our equipment managers I look down at them smothering their faces into my chest. "Hehe hey you two have a good sleep." "Yes big brother." They say. "Good now get to the dinning room big sis blaze finished breakfast." "Yeah let's go sis." "Alright brother." They quickly run to the kitchen, I look at them with a sad smile. "I'm going to miss them*sighs*he better be their he still owes me those favors damnit." I roll up my sleeves and a few magic circles appear on both but flicker." I'm running out of time these disguise magic circles aren't going to last much longer." I get up and head back while also rolling down my sleeves. While at the table they were eating and talking, I kept mostly queit I didn't know what to say talking to them would feel like my final goodbyes, but I perk up when they say my name. "Huh yeah." Jack says. "Jeez where's your head at bro, anyway what are you going to do at the con." "I don't really know I thought." But I'm cut off by the twins. "Oh big brother said he'd keep us company right big bro." They look at me with those adorable eyes I wanted to say I didn't but everyone in this family know when those two combine their cuteness nobody can say no and I just nod causing them to fist pump. "So what will you be doing, I feel like blaze will be look for any ember cosplayers she can find." This cause blaze to choke a bit on her orange juice causing us to laugh. "F-fuck you crimson." She shouts with a blush. Blaze pretty much watch every single mlp episode and rewatched the ones with dragon lord ember in them she developed a huge crush on that character it's funny that I met a male version of her back home god I hope everyone made it out safely, but hey I can't tell her I've met them in a way funny enough we watched a few episodes with her, Melissa and jack said if they ever found a little girl with scootaloos personalitie they'd what to adopt her, hell if I met a kid like pipsqueak I'd adopt him I never met one back home so he probably wasn't born yet, Tim and Nicholas said they would love to play pranks on pony's with rainbow and pinkie, the twins would love to join the cutie mark crusaders on their adventures, Tim also said he would have loved to talk shop with twilight and moondancer and to get to know Derpy I feel like he developed a crush even though the character wasn't shown much and she remains me of this mail stallion everyone called dizt I wonder if there's a correlation there eh I bet it's nothing Rook would love to meet fluttershy their love of animals would break her shell right away, and everyone saw I took a interest in princess Luna and teased me about having a crush on her, truth is they were half right she look so much like the goddess I was the chosen apostle for Galaxia and moon goddess that my people worshipped from the beginning of our extists and for some reason she choose me she had never chosen an apostle before she had chosen prophets sure but I was her first apostle, I was honored to say the least but their was so priests of her church who had their objections since unlike everyone else I saw her as another person which angered them but her she loved it,*mentally chuckled* I'd even sneak her out of her temple to have fun and enjoy ourselves it was kind embarrassing because we had to disguise our appearances cause our high status and everyone call us a couple, and it's not like I didn't think about it she was a beautiful girl and I was gonna and my fiancès but I digress before that day I had decided to ask her but I planned on bringing my fiancés and my two adopted kids with me, I hope they're alright. We finish breakfast and everyone goes to get changed I waited in the living room and my eye lands on a family picture of us and the caretaker she was a kind and loving woman all of us admired her deeply and when she died five years ago we were all devastated but at least she went peacefully in her sleep and apparently she had actual kids but they never visited or let alone cared about her and the house she had set us up in that she said was an orphanage well that was a lie but she took us in any way cared for us, feed us, loved us we were lost lights in this world but she found ways to bring out those light to shine the brightest, after the funeral and a week later a man came to get us saying he was her lawyer and had something to discuss with us we went with him a lot of us had already graduated college tim and Nicholas were big helps with the stuff we didn't understand well the rest the legal system here mirrored my homes very much even though we were a more medieval society, anyway he brought us there to discuss her will, but as soon as he was going to explain the details of it two people burst in, it was a male and female both in there fifties and they looked pissed and demanded to know why they weren't notified of these proceedings and who we were, and we them that's when we learned that our caretaker was an ex multi million dollar CEO who retired and they were her kids but the lawyer told them if they don't shut up and calm down they would be kicked out so the begrudgingly sit down and continue with reading of the will, and to say we were surprised was an understatement, as he started he read that the rights to the company goes to her two children Richard and Samantha but as he continued to say those two flipped there shit was mild, apparantly she was leaving the deed to her house to us along with access to all the money in her bank account which was in the millions so that we'd be taken care of, then those two brats had the guts to say we tricked or scammed her I had to keep my siblings calm but that didn't stop me from beating the shit out of them when they tried to attack my siblings now I only had my prosthetic leg at this time so I beat them with one arm, what happen later comes later cause I notice my siblings surround me also looking at the picture. "We had the best of time huh." Blaze says. "Sure did." Steel and took said together while holding each other. "Chaos here acting hella emo." Tim said jokingly. "Oi piss off you saw the state I was in you tell me who trust others after that." "And you still haven't told us what happened." Nicholas said. "And I told you I don't remember." "Alright enough if our local emo doesn't want to say it's fine." Melissa say teasingly. "Oh not you too sis." "Hehe alright enough teasing let's head out every body have everything." "Yes blaze." "Alright let's go." We leave the house and go to the convention which was to far so we didn't have to use the car and walk there it takes us no more then an hour to get there we had a bit of trouble getting in at the security check but after they saw my prosthetic they let us in and we went our separate ways I was dragged off by the twins hopefully I can find one of the others after a while and hand them I have to find him before this convention ends, while we have been going around I've notice people in armor that looks similar to some I designed back home but that's impossible they shouldn't know where I am my magic signature should be none existent but then I see more and more my eyes widen as they seem to close in. Ben, Gwen keep looking forward and don't turn to look at me. They slightly freeze but keep walking and listen to my instructions. "Good, now as soon as I run and people in armor chase after don't follow don't even seem like you two know me, find the others." With tears going down their faces." Big brother please don't leave." "Hey your big brother will be alright just do as you're told find the others, you all are the best family I could have ever asked for be safe I love you." Then I make a run for it and like I thought they followed. Ben&Gwen's POV After they chased big brother chaos Gwen was about to run after but I grab. "We can't leave him." She cried. "We aren't sis we need to get everyone." He says. "Right." She agrees and we run off as fast as we can, we look everywhere then we finally find them. "Big brothers, big sisters." They hear us we run into there arms and they notice us upset. Blaze starts." Alright whose the dead people who messed with our baby siblings." She says pissed. Melissa whose holding Gwen." Where's chaos wasn't he with you two." Through our tears we speak. "Y-yes w-we where walking w-when he told us to keep walking a-and said that once he ran and some people in armor chased him don't follow them and act like we didn't know him." They were all confused on why big brother chaos would act like this but then we noticed people running towards something, big brother jack caught one of their attentions. "Hey what's going on." "Some guy is surrounded by a bunch of dudes in armor we're going to watch, hey guys wait up." "Big brother! We shout and run off." "Hey you two get back here! Blaze shouts and they chased after us." We eventually get to where the crowd was and the rest of our siblings caught up and we push though and it looks like big brother chaos is on the ground floor of the convention hall surrounded by those people in armor. 3rd POV Chaos was in the middle of them all of them had weapons aimed and ready he's in a fighting stance ready for them to charge, but suddenly start hear loud and slow clapping, he looks around to find what might be their captain and passes the other knights and reaches and unstraps his helmet and takes it off, and to reveal a tiger headed man with a scar on his right eye and blind in it, Chaos's eyes widen and turn to rage. "You gods damn traitor lieutenant stripe claw." "And its nice to see you as well my "prince"." Chaos's siblings look at each other in confusion at the word prince. "Why, just why you were close with my parents, one of my personal guards, someone I trusted to look after my kids why betray us, why did all of you." He motions to all the knights. "Isn't obvious a lot of us didn't believe in your parents vision of peace we hated each other but your damn grandfather wanted to end the fighting that had been going on for millennia, your parents continued his vision of peace but was still unable to stop it but all of a sudden peaceful talks ensued like magic and peace was achieved but there was still was hatred, rasicm, and small battles but little by little those problems kept disappearing our superiors kept wondering how this kept happening that's when they thought maybe it's the oldest heirs of the kingdom." He says with a smirk and Chaos's eyes widen in shock and pupils shrink to pinpricks and rage swells from him. "YOU KILLED MY BIG BROTHERS!" His scream turns into more of a roar. His adopted siblings eyes widen at hearing this. "Yes we did I personally didn't get the honor but yes they told me they showed them no mercy." "I'll rip them apart with my bare fucking claws. He feels two of the magic circles break under his rage." "You can try but you should be more worried now your surrounded by knights yourself trained and your strength has weaken over the years, what do you hope to achieve." "I have already lost all my honor the day my parents forced me to run away, you think I care about my life the life of my people were the only concern I ever had their safety, happiness, and freedom was all I strived for all the races and people under me and my families rule were treated fairly and justly, I am Chaos Draco Fang Crimson and as the disgraced prince of the three great kingdoms swear once I deal with you traitors I will rescue my people and then surrender myself to their judgment that is my promise, now." He enters a fighting stance." To those who have the courage to betray all they know for those and that wish to claim my life come and get it cause I promise some of you bastards are coming to the great plains with me if I fall today." We see our brothers determination to fight and die if need to be but what is he talking about, we thought all those dreams he had were just that dreams but he was telling us his life before us, we have to get down and help, we were about to bolt for the stairs but then we hear the tiger man laugh out loud. "HAHAHA I know you were crazy but to declare war on them and then promise to take some of us to the great plains with you, you are the craziest man I know and the king I know I wish to serve, NOW!" Him and some of the knights subdue the others, and to say us and chaos are confused is mild. "W-what the hell is going on." "Well it looks like we're saving your ass young prince." Stripe says sarcastically. "Was that all in act." "Well duh thought you'd figured that out my lord." One of the knights that tying up two other knights. "Sorry about that my prince we wanted to make sure you hadn't forgotten you duty as our future king." Another knight speaks up. "Yeah brat, I didn't get defeated by you all those years ago just for you to puss out of your responsibly." One knight says. Two knights approach and take a knee. "My lord it pleases us to find you in great health." "We once again are at your service." He's shocked and looks at the tiger headed man and runs to him and embraces him and begins to cry. "I miss you so much uncle." "And I you my young prince and nephew." We witness this scene and hurry down, when reach them we shout. "Brother!”and he turns and we tackle him and embrace him. Chaos's POV "After getting tackle by my siblings." "Why didn't you tell us you damn idiot." Blaze says trying not to cry. "Yeah Lil bro we had no idea all those dreams you had were your life." Tim say. You had us worried kid. Jack says. "You foolish little boy you could have come to me and talk to me." Melissa says. Spark, Ben, and Gwen were all crying into my chest. "How come you didn't think to tell us brother." Steel says. Yeah Lil bro. Rook agrees. I look at all of them and hug them tightly." I'm so sorry for worrying you all." Then we hear a harty chuckle and turn to look at my uncle stripe. "Well my prince it seems you've got a lot of explaining to do later but let's not do it here this is only one of the squads they sent and I so happen to be the commander of this one and I believe we found who you are looking for kid." I nod and look at my siblings. "Come on as soon as we're safe we'll talk." "Oh,we will cause we need to know what heel is going on mister." Blaze says while pulling my ear. "Ow ow ow ok let go sis." This gets a chuckle from my siblings and some of the knights but the two who kneeled to me look like they're ready to attack but I make a motion that it was fine and we keep walking and in a bit of and we get to a stand and walk up a ding the bell and from the tent someone walks out backwards. "Ah hello travelers how may I help." As he say that he was turning around and saw me and I smile. "You." "Good to see you too you old merchant you." "And its good to see you too old friend. " //-------------------------------------------------------// Introductions //-------------------------------------------------------// Introductions Chao's POV Looking over all the trinkets and there were many. "Looks like you've been busy merchant, still sending poor lads and lasses to different worlds you have investments in" . I say. "Well when you put it like that it sounds so sinister" . The robed man speaks. "Well care too invite us into your home before we're discovered we both know the current regime hates you for just having these" . "Heh, yes well it would be my pleasure my prin-." But I cut him off. "Don't call me that I don't deserve that title anymore." I say. My siblings and my guards look at each other with worry and we head into the tent and to the rests surprise, except me and my guards it was the size of a warehouse. "As a time lord once said it's bigger on the inside." I say jokingly. "What the fuck!" Blaze shouts. They sees large sheelves as far as the eye can see stocked with items from shows, games and the like filling them, I look amused at their expressions but then I notice them all about to touch ones that caught their eyes, but I shoot out my tails and grab all of them and bring them all towards me. They all look at their wrists, to find something furry and follow it to the source and look at me, I'm looking at them. "Don't touch anything in this place." "Aw what's with all the hostility chaos." The merchant says amused. "You know damn well, all these tokens will teleport them to worlds you hold investments in or since this is you personal warehouse where you keep said tokens they might be disintegrated by just touching them." My siblings all go pale while he laughs. "Hahaha you know me to well chaos." "Heh I should you transported me to said worlds before you ass." "Oh come on you had fun and learned a lot new skills and made some friends that you brought into the fold of your world." "I still hate you for not warning me first time we met." "And where's the fun in that you use to get in all kind of trouble with you uncle and aunt." "Hey leave uncle discord and aunty eris out of this ." "Wait what!" My siblings shout. "Oh right, Hehe forgot we haven't talked about this situation yet." “Yeah now talk dammit before I get really mad Lil bro." Blaze yells. " My lord what is your relationship with these people you known your fiancés won't like if your dating other girls without them getting to know them first." One of my shadows say. "Fiancés!" My siblings shout. "Way to keep a lid on that fact." "S-sorry my lord." Then Melissa and blaze grab my collar and start shaking me. "Explain, no brother of ours is marrying girls we don't approve no ones going to take advantage of our little brother!" They shout going into protective older sister mode. "See what you did." "S-sorry again lord." Jackson than speaks. "And my first question is what's with those tails Lil bro I don't remember those on your costume." They stop shaking me and blaze says. "Yeah thats true where'd those come from." "Well they aren't attachments, they're... Real." They look at me for a few then start laughing as if I had told a joke while they do that uncle stripe comes over. "My prince are they always like this." "Well that's why I really never told them that I was an anthropomorphic hybrid this is the reaction I excepted, also don't call me that I lost the right to be referred as your prince let alone your king." "But sir it wasn't your fault your parents wanted you to be safe and-." But I cut him of by shouting causing my siblings to stop laughing and look at me worried. "BUT WHAT ABOUT MY CITIZENS THE PEOPLE I'M SWORN TO PROTECT, THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THE TRUST OF THE ROYAL FAMILY AND THE NOBLE HOUSES UNDER US TO ALWAYS MAKE THEM FEEL SAFE WHEN THEY GO TO SLEEP AND WHAT HAPPENING MOST OF THOSE BASTARDS BETRAY US BECAUSE OF THE IDEOLOGY OF MY GREAT GRANDFATHER ONLY TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE MY GRANDFATHER ON MY GREAT GRANDFATHERS DEATH BED TOLD HIM THAT HE WOULD FORSAKE OUR OLDEST BELIEF THAT WOLVES ARE THE SUPERIOR RACE ON OUR WORLD AND ALL OTHERS SHOULD BOW, MY GRANDFATHER CHANGED OUR VERY NATURE WHEN HE TOOK THE THRONE, YOU STILL THINK IT'S NOT MY FAULT ALL THOSE THINGS THAT THEY KILLED MY BOTHERS OVER IT WAS ME WHO DID ALL THOSE THINGS!!!" Stripe looks confused." What do you mean chaos, you were still a toddler when they happened." " You know what happened on the day of my birth." " Yes it was said that a huge blast of chaotic energy exploded in the sky bu-." I cut him off. " The doctors and clerics told my parents I wouldn't survive out of the womb, that as soon as I popped out I'd die." They all look at me in shock. " But my mother didn't care and didn't want to abort me she said she'd be dammed if she didn't welcome me into the world before I left it, that just shows how much she loved me, do you know the cause of that explosion that day." All the guards and my shadows gasp. " And who appeared that day." " Lord discord and lady Eris." One of my shadows say which got my siblings eyes to go wide. " Me and my family owed them a great debt that day, my parents offered anything they desired you know what they asked for." "They asked for asylum in our world." One of the knights said. "That's right and it was granted my parents didn't ask why but granted it." "But didn't they know the risks of said agreement." Blaze asked. "They didn't care in my parents eyes and in the eyes of the kingdom they were saviors sent by the lunar goddess herself but one day they asked all us to gather and told us everything about why they asked for asylum and said that after so many years with us they were going to go back a face judgment, we told them that this place could be their home but they said that they have to right their wrongs and would return as soon as they could but after so many years of waiting they never did and we feared the worse but I never gave up hope because we were linked." " What do you mean bro." " Well when that explosion from their arrive reached the castle my mom was still giving birth and the chaos magic hit me in the womb, it made me stronger, smarter, etc etc and I was born, my life is thanks to them, when I was a toddler I started sneaking out of the nursery and read book on the history of the world and our kingdom and when I found out the wars where still going on due to what my great grandfather stood for, so I started to learn military strategy, magic, and the ways of combat." Melissa gasps and holds her hands up to her mouth." So you." *nods*" For my people I gave up most of my childhood and the only ones who knew was my parents, my bothers, and uncle discord and aunty Eris." *smiles* " You clever little shit I was wondering why my strategies and equipment packs changed for killing weapons to capture ones and why prisoners of war were asking for audiences with your parents." I chuckle awkwardly." Yeah sorry about the first one." "It's fine, but for this fact alone you have proven time and time again that you deserve your rule." "But." "No buts, you gave so much for the peace that all of those before you fought for, you've not only deserve your rule but earned it ten times over." I think of a way to argue but sigh. "Alright but only until we find our people they will decide not me if I should rule." *sighs* "Still as stubborn as ever." "Hey I am my mothers son." "Um shouldn't that go the other ways around." Tim says. "If you knew his mother no." All the guards say including the shadows. "Yep, my mom was stubborn as all hell.," "Oh and my prince we have a guest that has been waiting to see you for ages." "Huh who." Once I ask something or someone crashed into me. "Brother/bro/big brother!" My siblings yell. I groan, then sit up rubbing my head then I notice and feel something nuzzling into my chest, I look down and my eyes widen and tears start flow, hugging me tight is a Unicron boy with a black coat, mane and horn but has a red tip along with a red streak in his mane. "S-sombra is that you p-please tell me this is some cruel dream." He looks up at me with his emerald eyes with crimson pupils with tears falling from his face as well. "It's me papa it's me." "My little umbra prince I was so worried about you and your brothers and sisters." I hug him tightly kissing his head repeatedly. "B-but where's your brothers and sisters, where's chrysalis, alice, boris, and bendy." "W-when the evacuation was happening and the fighting got close people started to panic we got separated and I didn't make it through the portal before the portal shut down and me and others were stuck but I was able to hide and some nice people gave me food when they could but I had to find a cave to sleep in when I could, one day I was getting chased by some guards when great uncle stripe found me hiding and took me to a place where I was safe." " Thanks uncle stripe, you guys too." "No problem brat I know if anything happen to either of them you would've gone on an unstoppable rampage can't have that." "Yeah I would have." I feel the final circles starting to break. "Sombra can you go over to your uncle real quick." "You promise your not going anywhere papa." "I promise." He gets off and goes over and I stand up. "Alright everyone stay back real quick." They nod slightly concerned. 3rd POV He starts to roll up his sleeves and they see these flickering transparent circles. "Ah magic and illusion ruin circles your magic instructors would be impressed. " "Um sir stripe." Blaze attempts to ask. "Please just stripe or stripe claw is fine if my prince sees you as family then uncle stripe works too." "R-right but what are those things on his arms." "Rune circles to surpress his magic power and the other one is to disguise his true form I doubt the humans in this dimension takes kindly to things that look different." "You wouldn't be wrong stripe." Jack chimes in. "Will big bro be okay." Ben and Gwen asks worried. "Ah don't worry to much about the brat he's been through worse though sparing and training hell I was probably his biggest challenge little bastard got a few lucky shots too." "Yeah papa always enjoyed his training with his teachers he even Said some of my mommies were his teachers." "Is that so." Melissa and blaze say with a sweet smiles but have dark auras radiating of them. 'Oh queen velmara will love those two and the king already sees them as siblings so he won't have a problem with her adopting his siblings.' Stripe thought and then felt the others mental link with him. 'Are you sure we can't tell the prince his mother is alive.' 'Those were the queens orders we have no choice we may have pledged our servitude to prince chaos but we are still knights of the crown the prince maybe the king but that's only in words for now.' 'Stripes right, we can't disobey the queens order.' Ventus says. 'Damn all this sercey bullshit isn't my style and you know it.' Volcanus says with a growl. 'Ah come on vol it could be fun I mean have you held a royal secret before.' Noctus says. 'No dammit I was the dragon God of fire before the brat kicked my ass, I'm just saying these secrets are more suitable for his shadows.' 'But that's the problem and why we never told them they are one hundred percent loyal to the prince they are his spy network after all.' 'Tch yeah especially the two we brought with us, his first and most loyal.' He inwardly smirks. 'But this kids living every dragons dream surrounded by beautiful women some actually in love with him and other super loyal to him I can tell the few male commanders he has Is envious of him.' We all inwardly chuckle. 'Yep kids a casanova even if he doesn't know it.' Stripe says. Then we feel his power increase. "It's starting." "What's starting stripe." Tim asks. "Just watch kid and see why chaos so respected by his teachers and feared by his enemies." They watch on and hear their brother start chanting. "I ,who have been made the apostle of the mother of the moon and sun, he who have defended his people from those who seek to harm them, who has lost his right to his throne, he who wishes to right the wrongs committed by those who once served my family, ask to defy the laws of nature to return to what I once was and regain the power I have sealed to serve my people once more, to make them safe once more, and to receive thy judgment once they are." The rune circles start to glow brighter then they break releasing massive amounts of magical energy in the form of a piller of light and they see his eyes start glowing and he starts lifting off the ground as he goes higher his clothes blast off and he goes into the feetle position, the on looker see three beast like entities made of light start darting down the pillar toward chaos the stop and surround him forming balls of light in different colors and they notice them changing shape, the blue one form changes into a wolf, white one changes into a Fox with nine tails, and the golden one and by far the largest forms a dragon who unfurls its wings, all three look down at chaos while looking at each other and then spoke. "Why do you seek your power once more." The wolf was the first to ask in a stoic voice. "Do you seek retribution for those who have been lost to tyranny and villainy." The fox was next who spoke softly and a motherly tone. "Or do you seek revenge and destruction to those who have wronged you." The dragon was the last who spoke with a gruff and rough voice. "I don't know what I want but I know to save my people I need my power once more." "Tch then what is the point in having your power back if you have no direction to point it in hatchling." The dragon says. "How do we know you won't use it for selfish reasons and turn your back on those who look to you for guidance kit." The fox said next. "I I I. " "Why do you hesitate young pup do you not see yourself as worth of the powers you have?" The wolf questions. "I never have been I've tried time and time again to see a reason for myself to live with leaving my people even if it wasn't my choice I left them and even the kids I swore to love and protect suffered as well, I'm a failure of a prince and future king but I already told myself that I would save my people and the surrender-." but then the wolf says. " You mean run away again." "W-what no I wouldn't." "Really hatchling cause it sounds like you are to surround yourself to your people for judgment, how is that any better than running away." The dragon adds. "Tell us who will lead them then to peace and prosperity again like you parents and grandparents before you, you have a responsibility to them." "They have plenty of-." "MORE EXCUSES!!" The dragon roars out causing everyone else to cover their ears. "YOU ARE A DRAGON BOY HYBRID OR NOT YOU HOLD OUR BLOOD, DO YOU EXPECT ME TO RETURN POWERS TO A SELF DESTRUCTIVE HATCHLING THE POWER WOULD BE WASTED!!!" "Even though I don't agree with his words most time he's correct you would waste the powers given." The fox chimes in. "They are correct, if you can't find a reason for your powers to be returned you're powers will be lost to you forever." He falls silent but then I hear blaze. "Now hold it right there you see through bastards, who the fuck do you think you are." They turn to her. "And who are you little pup." "Someone who is pissed that you are belittling her little brother who the fuck are you to judge his state of mind, when you clearly don't know what's happened to him." "And pray tell what has he been through you hatchling brat." Blazes pov I look them dead on. "When I first met him he was angry at this world and humans or should I say us humans since we had no idea that my little brother was not human, but when the director of the orphanage brought him in he was missing arm and leg, till this day we don't know what happened but we respect his right not to tell us but he's had nightmare, attacked people with the intention to kill, look at others with utter disgust like nothing but scum, since back then he's grow and learn to better himself and understand that not everyone is that bad and has help us." She gestures to the rest of the family. "More times to count and brought us from the darkness in each of our hearts and here you are questioning his resolve to save his people and own up to his self proclaimed "mistake" don't get me wrong as soon as he was done with this I was going to beat some sense into that thick skull of his even if I had to use a sledgehammer but don't you think I'm going to sit here and let you talk to him like that especially you." She points at the dragon." You big dumb overgrown iguana." 'Oh no.' The other two think slowly looking at the dragon whose eyes are twitching. "I-iguana y-you INSULATE BRAT I FRY THE FLESH FROM YOUR BODY THEN DEVOUR THE REST." He breathes in and a glow emanates from his mouth, the he releases a torrent of golden flames propelled towards her. I try to run but I'm froze with fear. "Sis!" My siblings scream as they're left with no way to save me, I close my eyes waiting for death. 3rd pov As soon as this happens chaos opens his eyes and a shattering sound rings out my other siblings and the other spirits look as chaos moves at break neck speed and still cover in golden light the others and the two spirits notice his form shifting and lands in front of blaze and holds out his hand and once the flames come in contact they go around them both, once the breathe attack starts to slow and dissipate they are met with a scene that shocks the siblings and gets a smirk from the other including the two other spirits, in front of blaze was the form of a bipedal wolf adorn in robes and some necklaces. Then he speaks. "You fucking dare attack someone I consider family, I don't fucking care if you bastards are my ancestors you should know it's a death sentence to threaten a wolfs family if your going to threaten my family you can fuck off for all I care I'll regain my power and save my people without your help." The wolf speaks." Oh do you know of what you speak pup." The fox is next. "If we leave you may never be able to summon us again to pleade your case for the Return of your powers." Last was the dragon. "You may never get them back you'll lost you advantage against the enemy and all that power." He looks back seeing the rest of his siblings come to see if blaze is okay and the older ones standing in front ready to defend their family while giving him a nod of determination he smiles, the looks back at them with a serious and stoic face. "The old ways of our people are dead and gone, my grandfather believed that all our races and species could coexist that we didn't have to fight that no species or race was above the other and even though many centuries had past, I gave up my childhood because I believe in his vision I don't regret a single thing if I could do it over again I would have still do it, so go back to the great plain and wallow in arrogance and self importance while I make sure our people can thrive and look forward to a better tomorrow and that's my final decision for you." They're was a tense silence for a good five minutes until the dragon Bursts into a Harty and joyful laughter. "AHAHAHAHA I know you'd be the best of us you exceed my expectations even more than when i first leaded eyes on you when you were a hatchling." The fox adds. "Hehe indeed our grand son surly has grown to be a inspirational young man although he still has your mouth. " "Ahh let the lad be Beatrice from what that fiery spirited young lady said he's been through the ringer here." "Well Reginald that doesn't excuse his lack of tact when speaking to us." Then the wolf finally speaks. "To be fair we were tearing him apart with our word." "Ah he could take it." He looks on in confusion. "W-what the hells going on." They look at me, then each other and chuckle and the dragon speaks. "What still haven't figured it out." "N-no." "We aren't those tired old fossils who cared about purity of blood." "H-huh but I thought this spell calls on the ones who came before me." Then fox speaks. "That Is true young kit, but what they don't tell you is that those who die can defeat the previous spirt in combat to be the next voice to speak to their decedent." "T-then your my." The dragon and fox both smile and shrink down and take a more human appearance and all our eyes widen, mine and the ones who knew them in life more. "Remember us now brat." The once large dragon says. Tears stream down my face. "G-grandpa Reginald, G-grandma Beatrice." I run to them and hug them tightly. "Oh my poor little kit what has happened to you." She says sadly as she grazes her hand against my robotic arm. *sniff*hehe*sniff*"you should see the other guy." "Haha that's my grandson always give them worse of what they give haha." He looks at me. "They even took one of your eyes huh." Blaze hears this. "Wait what but our caretaker and us only saw his arm and leg missing." I speak. "I tried to hide it best I could but with me sealing my powers any illusion that wasn't part of the spell to hide my true appearance slowly faded, one day it failed and I was out with her shopping and a woman screamed when she saw me I touched my face and notice the spell failed and I ran, after a while she found me and I was forced to explain everything to her and asked her not to tell any of you and a few days later she got me the surgery that replaced it, seriously I should have been the first one to figure out that she was hiding she was super rich but to I decided to ignore it." Blaze and Melissa both hug me. "Dumby why'd you hide this from us." "I thought I was protecting you all since like today if they found me then they'd know you knew nothing but what I've been to all of you all these years." Jack then lightly hits my chest. "Idiot you went through a lot of shit it's only natural for your siblings older or younger to support you." Then unlce stripe says. "My lord why do some of them think they're older then you." Grandma Beatrice chimes in. "Well isn't it obvious he didn't tell them anything and from what I know of the spell my son and daughter-in-law used to send him away he was turned back into a infint and his body developed into that of a pure-blooded human to blend in and I'm guessing once he unleashed his original aging process stared again, did I explain that well enough my little kit." I blush at my grandmas nickname. "Y-yeah." Blaze looks confused about this. "Wait what's your age then." "Um 15,022." All my siblings look at me wide eyed and blaze and Melissa faint with Jack and Tim catching. "Yeah thought that would be there reaction." "You are an old sob bro." "Hey technically in our world that's our adult age." "Wtf, are you serious." Everyone except my siblings say. "Yep." "Wait, how old are you all." My grandma starts. "Ara, Ara didn't anyone tell you not to ask a woman's age young." Jack blushes. "Um sorry ma'am." But then Melissa wakes up and grabs his head and shoves him in her chest. "Hey back off, he's mine." "Oh don't worry sweetie I've already met the love of my life, his grandpa." Spark points at grandpa Reginald. "Him." They chuckle. "No little one although we are chaos's grandparents we are from different families, me, I am his fathers mother." "And me i'm his mothers father." He sniffles. "My pride and join." "My little pup was such free spirited young man." Grandma said. Then I look at my guards and shadows. "By the way guys why haven't you removed your helmets." "Why would we need to kid." Volcanus said. "You know who we are from our voices." "That's ture but I want my family to meet some of my first and closest friends and those I also see as family." They look at each other. "Alright we'll go first." One takes off their helmet and the armor fades like an illusion fading a different body mass was replaced and a black fured caribou was left over wearing noble like garb mixed with armor and an eyepatch and a rapier at his side. The next one that remove his helmet, the same effect happened but this time their body mass was larger red scaled dragon was left in the place with less armor covering his legs and wrapped around his joints. The last two take them off and their body mass is different the one on the left shorter the right one taller both zebras, the shorter one has robes around his waist with pants that looked baggy with a large saber on his back, while the taller on just has pants and straps like overalls over his shoulder and they can't see any wepeons. "Greetings young ones my name is Baron Zeppeli, Anthonio Zeppeli ruler of all caribou of our world, and personal knight and instructor of king chaos." "Sup brats, names volcanus Magnum, nice to meet you all I guess." Spark asks. ,What no fancy title." "It's none of your business." "Aw come on vol tell I bet you'll get a kick out of their reactions." The shorter zebra says but vol just snorts. "They'll get to know it when I believe they've earn the right." "Geez what crawled up his ass." Tim says. "Nah that's just vol, anyway, sup buds names noctus victis, the taller one is my brother and self proclaimed bodyguard believe it or not he's the younger one and only by a year crazy right oh bro you want me to tell them your name." He nods. "Cool, his name ventus noctis." "Huh why the different last names." Melissa says. "Oh um boss is it okay." "Sure." "Cool any way in our world poly relationships are the norm and our old man married his childhood friends aka our mothers." "Aww that's so sweet." Melissa says. I turn and look at my two shadows. "What about you two are you going to show them and me, I know I made yours, and the other members of shadow garden disguise helmets differently with voice filters." They look at each other and nod and take off the helmets and their armor as well fades away into black skintight suits their hoods were up but their hair came out off the hoods blond out of one and black out of another. "Good to see you, how have you been?" my eyes widen as I realize who they are. "our dear husband." "alpha, delta." i say with a broken voice. "yes it's us, master~." I dash over and hug them tightly like they were going to disappear with tears going down my face, my siblings look at the scene happily and then sombra says. "Mama alpha, mama delta." He runs over and joins the hug. "I missed you and the others so much I feared the worst for so long." "Hehe we're fine beloved." Alpha says. "We're fine along with the other girls." "And I couldn't be happier.” "That being said.” After alpha says that they pull back from the hug and smile but I feel a mencing pressure behind it causing my fur to stand on end. "U-um my d-dears did I do something wrong.” I says as all my instincts tell me to run. "Oh nothing much just want to have a little chat on all the thing we've heard so far.” The realization hits me like a ton of mythril bars and I gulp and start backing up. "Where you going honey we just want to talk.” As they approach closer which I responded in running full speed in the opposite direction and them chasing me with angry expression. "Get back here dammit and take your scolding like a man.” "Help me!!!” As this is happening my siblings, bodyguards, ghosts of my grandparents and farther, and the merchant. "Oh boy.” Zeppeli says, while ventus and volcanus eat popcorn they somehow have while noctus is laughing his ass off. Melissa asks Zeppeli. "Um should we do something.” He was about to answer but volcanus says. "Fuck that last time we got in the way of his girls on a war path we ended up in the hospital for a year in a half and that was with using the highest class of healing spells.” Ventus grunts in agreement and shivers a the memory. Then noctus finishes his laugh. "Y-yeah so sit back a enjoy the show.”
