Warrior

3 days later Blake's P.O.V

I slowly opened my eyes as I sat up on a bed, for a moment I didn't know where I was as my vision came back into focus, I shook my head a few times so I could see clearly again and realized that I was in the guest room at the Sparkle family mansion, when I looked to my left I could see Dragonbane had been placed up against the wall and that my shoes were by the bed. I look down at my hands as I remember what happened before I passed out. "Did I really do that stuff?" I say to myself quietly as I feel something rising within me and a deep blue flame like aura ignites on my right hand. I then twist my arm slightly and see that the marks on my arm aren't glowing which means this isn't Dragonbane, it's me. The energy then disappears as I look at the door as it creeps open and Spike sticks his head in.

"Blake, your awake." Spike said as he came in and walked over to the bed, as I got off and put my shoes back on.

"Yeah, I feel like a train hit me though." I say standing up before I walk over to the wall and pick up Dragonbane before putting it on. Seriously I know Rogue said that that knockoff Super Saiyan form of his was going to do a number on me but this is ridiculous, I felt sore all over.

"Come on, let's go. Everypony has so many questions." Spike said walking over to the door.

"They aren't the only ones." I say as I follow him out of the guest room and down stairs to the kitchen as he goes through the door I hear voices, it sounds like Twilight and her family.

"Spike, is he awake?" I heard Twilight ask as I walked in.

"Ask me yourself." I say crossing my arms while giving them a cocky look.

"Blake." Twilight says running up to me and hugging me catching me off guard with the unexpected display of affection, all while her parents laughed at my expense and Shining Armour gave me the over protective big bro look.

"I'm fine." I say managing to pry Twilight off of me. "I just needed some rest to get my stamina back is all." I explain.

"You had us worried after the first day." Twilight said wiping a tear away. and damn I actually felt a prick of pain when I saw her crying.

"Blake." Velvet said."

"Yes." I say looking at the older mare who was passable for the same age as her daughter, honestly do ponies age different or something.

"Thank you, you swore to us you'd get our girl back and you did, thank you." Velvet said hugging me this time with Night Light joining in.

"We're in your debt Blake, thank you." Night Light said.

"Can't breath." I thought to myself as they hugged me.

"Twilight get the thing." Spike said as Twilight's parents hugged me for an awkwardly long while.

"Oh, right." Twilight said leaving the room to get something. Luckily for me Velvet and Night Light released me after that and I was able to breath again, thank god, I get that their grateful but there's no need to almost choke me. Twilight then came back holding a square box about a foot wide and two feet long.

"The Princesses wanted to thank you personally, but with the failed kidnapping they are too busy getting things under control, so they decided to get you this instead." Twilight said handing me the box.

"I didn't help for a reward, I helped because it was the right thing to do." I say, looking at the box and feeling guilty for Pearl Shine's death again feeling the weight of her life on my shoulders, as I contemplate everything that happened.

"Hey, stop feeling sorry for yourself." Shining says getting my attention as I look at him. "Because of you Princess Luna was able to avoid capture and you helped save Princess Celestia after that, Your a hero Blake, don't let anypony tell you otherwise." He added.

"You... think I'm a hero?" I ask looking at him stunned, I don't even know what to say, he thinks I'm... a hero.

"Yes, you didn't just save the Princess, you saved so many more lives than you can imagine by defeating that evil mare." Shining explained.

"He's right you know. you and that other guy were like superheros right out of a comic book with that silver haired form you guys used." Spike said, looking at me.

"Blake." Twilight said putting a hand on my shoulder and I looked at her. "You've earned this." She says placing a hand on top of the box, I look around the room and get nods from everyone I look at and I can't help but smile, so this is what family feels like. I put the box on the kitchen counter and open it finding a blue jacket of some kind inside along with a letter that reads.

"Dear Blake.
We wish we could thank you in person for what you've done for us but we hope this gift will suffice.
Yours sincerely Princess Celestia and Luna.
P.S
It's enchanted to give high level magic resistance while being warn, and it's machine washable."

I lift the jacket out of the box and find, it's not a jacket, it's a blue trench coat that looks just shorter than ankle length with a white stripe down each arm and both sides of the zip with two white horizontal stripes on the collier and grey fur at the wrists. I look at it for a second as it reminds me of my father's black trench coat but at the same time the brighter blue color makes me think about my blue energy and Dragonbane's blue energy and how Rogue's energy is red. So I take Dragonbane off my back and put the trench coat on then put Dragonbane back on, finding it very light and comfy with six pockets on the inside. "How dose it look?" I ask.

"It suits you." Shining and Spike say at the same time and then laugh with each other.

"The clothes make the stallion, as they say." Night Light says with an approving smile.

"It makes you look like quite the gentle colt." Velvet said as she leaned on her husband.

"I... I think you just found your look Blake." Twilight said looking at me with a blush and a sincere smile.

"You really think so?" I ask, getting nods back from every one. "I guess I'm keeping it on then." I say with a cocky smirk.

"Wow, just look at you, the mares will be lining up to get a piece of you with that on, Me included." Cadence said coming into the kitchen.

"Sorry, I don't brake the Bro code." I say winking at Shining Armor and he nods back.

"Not even a little?" Cadence asked clearly messing with me.

"Never, Bros before hoes." I say crossing my arms with a smug look and we all laugh for a good long while. I then notice Spike look at the clock on the wall.

"Twilight, we need to leave now if we want to get back to Ponyville before sundown." Spike said pointing at the clock.

"Oh, your right Spike." Twilight said hugging her parents, brother and Cadence before grabbing my hand and rushing me to the door, once we were outside we ran to the train station, only to wait 45 minuets for at train that was delayed. On the ride home Spike fell asleep next to me looking out the window and I just watched the land roll past, stopping every now and then to pick up and drop off passengers. It was almost sundown when we got back to Ponyville, only to find the others waiting for us on the platform.

"Twilight, Blake, Spike, welcome home." They all said together catching us all in a group hug, and I'm telling you one of them pinched my butt, I don't know who but it was one of them, I'm going to rule Spike out because he only has eyes for Rarity, so it's got to be one of the six.

"Girls, it's good to be home." Twilight said as me and Spike escaped the group hug only to get pulled back in by Pinkie, after a while the hug was let go.

"Oh my darling, where did you get that coat, it matches you're eyes perfectly?" Rarity asked, but I didn't answer, seriously fuck that bitch, I haven't forgotten how she nearly tore my arm off with magic, well at least the playing field is level now, what with my end of the Winters family power now awakened.

"So, ya'll saved the Princesses from a kidnapping?" Apple Jack asked, placing her hends on her hips while giving me an impressed look.

"More like Blake and some stranger delt with it in some sliver haired form I've never seen before. " Spike said as the girls looked at me as if I was going to transform.

"Really, you can transform to?" Pinkie asked suddenly powering up into super pinkie 5 as party canons went off everywhere and ponies started partying, except me because my mind just shut down for the next few hours as the mega party went on.
