Inside Canterlot Castle, inside the bedroom of the Night Princess, Luna is getting ready to sleep. She ate breakfast with her sister as normal but for the new member of the family, Eri. The young girl since being rescued by Luna has clung to her and stayed with her as much as she could. Which Luna doesn’t mind at all, having grown close to the little one.

Eri is now a unicorn filly, thanks to traveling to the Equestrian Earth by the magic mirror and back. She now has a light pink coat, and white mane and tail. The horn on her head is now a unicorn horn, which is where the power limiter rune has been placed on her. She still has her quirk that reverses things but now with her new magical powers, it can be suppressed by magic. Eri likes her new body as she’s now more like her new mama. (1)

“Sister she can’t just sleep all day,” Celestia said sitting on Luna’s bed as her sister waited for Eri to be done in the bathroom.

“Eri needs right now is love and mother. You can teach her when she’s ready. I’m teaching her things already,” Luna said.

“I know that but she should be with fillies and colts her own age,” Celestia said.

“When she’s ready, right now bonding is more important. I deal with the nightmares she has of that man, she’s only comfortable with me holding her. Besides, I don’t want to hear how to raise a child when you did a horrible job with Sunset. She holds herself up strong and keeps a strong image. I seen my niece’s dreams,” Luna said.

“That’s why I want to help. I made so many mistake,” Celestia said.

“I know you mean well, but Eri is different from Sunset at that age,” Luna said and looks towards the bathroom door opening and Eri dressed in a night shirt came running to the bed.

Luna smiled as she lifted Eri up in the air by her telekinesis and plops her on the bed. Eri buries herself into her mother’s massive breasts, unknowingly rubbing Luna’s scent all over her. Young colts and fillies when they sleep with their parents will have their parents scent cover their bodies, marking them to their parents. Making it easier for parents to find their children in large herds made up of smaller herds.

Celestia left the two to sleep but couldn’t help by look back as Luna as she lays on her side and looks down at Eri as she nuzzles her face into her breasts. Celestia saw what she could had have with Sunset, looking down at Sunset as she nuzzles her face into her breasts. Marking her with her scent to show that Sunset is her daughter. But she didn’t and while she has tried to bond with Sunset, she refused to be mark by her. The only ones that Sunset has shared her scent with are her bodyguards and friends, seeing them as her herd. Which is why she was so angry when she found Izuku and how Sunset had marked him as apart of her herd.

Her daughter doesn’t have her scent on her, and doesn’t want it. (2)

Oceanside -

Hailey is showing Izuku, Piper, Star, Kelly, Higgs, Azula, Ty Lee, and June who are spending the day with him today, around Oceanside. And checking off another of her to do list in her journal, being a tour guide. Seeing how she is the one responsible for getting all of them to Oceanside she has made herself their go to girl to show the, around. Helped by Ruby and Izuku taking a liking to her when they first came to Oceanside after getting her email. She’s showing them Oceanside's famous lighthouse which was built by her great-great-grandfather P.H. Phlorange who incorrectly built the light house, resulting in the light shining towards the town and becoming useless.

They’re not alone as Izuku’s robots, Ed-E, Roxie, Muggy, and Tow are with them, as well as Izuku’s parents. Hisash has been trying to bond with Izuku but as Harley told him and Inko, the best he can hope for is an uncle relationship. His company is counting on him to be their middle man for trade deals, which he pointed out because he has spent years away from his family for the company he has no real relationship with his son. The company responded by paying for classes for Hisash in parent and child relationship. As the whole Asian parenting system of just demanding respect from the child wouldn’t work at all, as his girlfriends would just see that and make sure he’s far away from Izuku. Or just send their soldiers to teach him a lesson.

“Well what do you really expect? Izuku now has girls on his mind,” Inko said to Hisash.

“The time where girls are Icky and are boys natural enemies has passed,” Hisash said remembering how it was like for him.

“And that they also making sure he knows it,” Inko said and eyes her husband. “Izuku gets that from you.”

“I wasn’t that bad,” Hishash said.

Meanwhile with the kids, Hailey is explaining how her mother is trying to sell the lighthouse.

“Why hasn’t anyone just install a light that spins?” Piper asked.

“Lack of money,” Hailey said.

“This reminds me of the lighthouse that Jade and the others live in,” Izuku said.

“I know let’s go and visit your first world,” Star said taking out her dimensional scissors.

“But I have no way of going back, I broke the portal gun,” Izuku said.

“Yeah, I know but with this new scissors all you need to do is use something that belongs to either the world or someone from that world. That’s how we got to your world,” Star said.

“After opening portals to other worlds where you never found the portal gun in the first place,” Higgs said.

“It got really awkward real fast,” Star said remember the Izuku’s she grabbed and turned out to be the wrong one. And had to explained herself to that Izuku who was about to take the exam test. But she did give him a magic set of armor, shield and sword for the trouble.

“Lucky that you left some stuff behind to use to narrow it down,” Kelly said.

“Really, with the tree roots we just were told to think of you to find the right world,” Ty Lee said.

“And once here, I used that scarf of yours to track you down,” June said.

“The hard part was finding a spirit who would guide us to the tree,” Azula said.

“Here try,” Star said to Izuku giving him the scissors.

“Ok, I try,” Izuku said as he held onto his S.A.C. and picture the lighthouse. He created a portal like he did before while in Star’s world.

“Izuku what’s that?” Inko asked as she and Hisash walks over.

“Going to see Jade and the others on Hillys,” Izuku said stepping into the portal.

Beyond Good & Evil -

The Lighthouse shelte sits on top of a nameless and lonely island just south of Hillys City, as Izuku remembers it. The lighthouse was built by Pey'j in 2415, and is used as an orphanage, of which he and Jade—along with their dog Woof, take care of. Currently six orphans: Yoa, Zaza, Oumi, Fehn, Pablo and Kip, live there. With Izuku living there for some time before leaving in a search for a way home.

The lighthouse has its own force field (which is operated by the Optima Service) that can protect the entire island from DomZ attacks and even from hungry Vorax that prowl around during the night. The only way to activate this shield is by pressing a panel at the base of the lighthouse. After doing so, an antenna-like device as well as the top platform of the tower will extend and produce the shield. A dial also shows if there's enough money in the user's Optima-account to operate the force field: it will glow green if everything's fine, red if there's a lack of units. If the latter siutation happens, a pre-recorded message will announce the shortage and block the electrical supply. The only way to restore the electricity and reactivate the shield is to transfer the missing amount of units to the Optima Service.

On the first floor of the lighthouse is a large kitchen equipped with an old-fashioned stove and a device that looks like a cross between a refrigerator and a cupboard. There is also a much smaller den near the entrance where the kids often get warm by the fireplace while listening to the radio.

The second floor has the bathroom, a sleeping mat for Woof, and two bedrooms: one for the boys and Pey'j, another for Jade and the girls. Her room has a desk and photographs covering her wall while the other one only has beds and a few toys lying around. There's also a billboard on the wall with Pey'j's Jet-Boots sketches taped to it, that he’s been working on. There's also a door on the same floor that leads to the staircase up to the top of the tower. This is where the light and force field mechanisms are located, though the shield can only be activated from the bottom.

Outside, the path from the lighthouse slightly descends towards the edge of the island where a single tree stands. This is where Jade and Fehn practice their yoga moves and some of the kids spend time during the day. Yoa, particularly, is often seen next to the tree staring out to the sea. And where Izuku first showed up when he fell out of the portal.

On the other side of the lighthouse is where the entrance of the hanger is located at. From the entrance, a wooden ramp leads down to the piers at the tip of which the hovercraft is docked. There are several desks placed against the cave walls here where several gadgets and items are scattered. A crane-like device is also installed next to the vehicle's usual spot. When charged with an electric battery, it can transfer some of that power to the hovercraft and jump-start it. Though in the game, because the ship's motor was already in very bad shape, the effects wore off quickly.

Inside the hangar is a small room which serves as Pey'j's workshop. It is equipped with an Mdisk decoder-player and several computers onto which the communication devices of the lighthouse are wired. There's also a machine stuck into the wall that is used to collect Mdisks from delivery robots. They simply have to plug themselves into the machine to let go of the Mdisk, which will drop into a dispenser and become available. This workshop is where Pey'j does his various inventions and repairs, as seen from all the blueprints and sketches lying around.

That was what Izuku expected when he step out of the portal, instead he saw the top of the lighthouse gone. From the low point where the single tree stands, he could always see the top of the lighthouse, which wasn’t there anymore. Izuku took off running to the lighthouse, shouting the names of the friends he made who lived there.

Running inside Izuku found everything from the top till the second floor has been destroyed, leaving the first and second floor partially intact. He rush to the hanger, running past his parents and the others who came after him. He found the hanger empty, the hovercraft gone. In the far end of the hangar was a stone wall, now gone. A path carved into the stone heading slightly upwards leads to an aircraft's platform. There is a desk where a Mdisk sits on some papers and blueprints of a spaceship called the Beluga.

“Any idea?” Izuku asked Secundo the A.I. from his S.A.C. showing him the Mdisk.

“No, I have no data,” Secundo said.

Izuku walks to the workshop to use the Mdisk decoder-player. He walks past his group who caught up with him and followed him into the workshop. Inside he found Woof the big white dog laying on a blanket, a bowl of food and a jug bowl of water left for him. Who bond over to Izuku and licks his face.

“Woof, it’s good to see you too,” Izuku said glad to see someone.

“Izuku what’s going on?” Inko asked.

“Everyone but Woof is gone but someone gave him enough food and water for several days,” Izuku said walking over to the Mdisk decoder-player and pop in the Mdisk.

Which is a check list of items for the spacecraft Beluga.

"Depth stabilizers, check."

"Octo-combustions, check."

"Flight stabilizers, both need to be replace. Got one but need to go to the Mammago‘s for another.”

"Auto-guidance to the hovercraft, check."

"Hyper- sustenance Sorting-board, check."

"Parallelism nozzles, check."

"Stellar motor, needs to be replace. Have to go to the Mammago’s for the replacement.”

“Who are the Mammago‘s?” Star asked.

“A family of 4 Rhinoceros sapiens that runs a garage, they’re people who look like rhinos. They operate to repair and restore vehicles used by the locals as well as a towing service for those stranded. Providing a selection of fully stocked vending machines and gear stocked with black market and ex-military gadgets and upgrades. Pey'j Thinks of them as nothing but conmen and crooks, as for the black market stuff they only accept pearls as payment which are hard to find and are illegal to own. That’s where I can find out what happen here,” Izuku said.

“You’re going alone?” Inko asked worried.

“No, I need to see Cleo and Lark,” Izuku said and looked at Woof. “Come on Woof follow.”

Izuku opens another portal which Woof had to be forced through by Star using her wand to lift him up and shove him through. Izuku would find out what happen to his friends and make the ones responsible pay.

Author's Note

1 - With Eri now a unicorn filly she can use magic and has all the abilities of a pony unicorn. She also can become an alicorn.

2 - For ponies leaving their scent marks on others show a strong bond they have with them. Being apart of the herd, and for Sunset not having Celestia’s scent her, makes it clear that she doesn’t see Celestia has her mother or apart of her herd.
