Everyone's Powers Part 1

"Well my powers mainly include anything that is internal." Ghost said before a hoof shot up. "Yeah?" It was Pinkie Pie who raised it.

"Can I throw you a party? Oh! Wait! I haven't thrown John or Shaded one yet! I need to throw all of you a party!" Pinkie said as Ghost saw the thoughts passing through her head.

"Um? Sure," Ghost said "But after I explain my powers."

"Yay!" Pinkie shouted.

"Alright then. As I said before my powers are internal. They involve my organs, my bones, my muscles, the two of the five senses, and my skin." Another hoof was raised. This one was purple. "Yeah?"

"What are the two five senses your talking about?" Twilight asked.

"If you would let me continue I would tell you." Ghost said, leveling a blank stare at her.

She blushed from embarrassment. "Anyways to answer Twilight's question they affect my sense of smell and sight. My eyes are sharper than a normal persons. I can also see slightly farther then most. My sense of smell is... strange. If something smells really bad I actually lose my sense of smell." Ghost said, chuckling slightly at a memory.

"Can you tell us more about what you could do with your bones?" Rainbow asked, wondering what his powers would be able to do.

"Ah. Promise me that you won't scream when I do this." Ghost said in a serious tone.

They all nodded. "Alright, Shaded." Ghost said.

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever been to the Naruto world?"

"Only once."

"Have you ever meet Kimimaro?"

"No. Nothing but stories."

"Tell them the story about his powers."

Shaded looked at him questioningly before realizing what he was getting at. "You seriously are able to do that?" Shaded asked in disbelief.

Ghost smirked. "Yes."

"Who's Kimimaro?" Rarity asked, confused about what they were talking about.

"Kimamaro is the last remaining member of the Kaguya Clan. They were a clan of barbarians who cared about nothing but war. They feared few things. One was the power of Kimimaro. Kimimaro had to ability to control his bones. The power was known as Shikotsumyaku, Or Dead Bone Pulse in Japanese, or what you would call Neighponese. Only a few have the ability to use it." Shaded explained. "What Kimimaro did was use his own skeletal structure to battle."

They all looked at him in disbelief, not believing that such a power could exist.

Ghost smiled at their expressions. "He called his attacks dances. I believe a demonstration is in order for you to believe it." They all watched him.

Ghost bent his knees and bowed slightly. "Dance of the Willow!" From his elbows, wrists, shoulders, and knees, bone sprouted from his body, breaking through the skin and the bones had razor sharp points at the end. Though the bones broke through skin no blood escaped. They all jerked back in surprise.

"From this point I can extend my bones to easily reach opponents that are far away. I am a willow, shaking in the wind. Though, unlike a willow, I puncture through skin and muscles." Ghost said. The bones slid back into place though the one on his left shoulder stayed out. "Shaded you can guess what is next."

"The Dance of the Camellia." Shaded muttered before speaking louder, "It's know as the Dance of the Camellia."

"Well it seems you remember some more stories about him." Ghost said while griping the bone that was protruding from his shoulder. With a tug he pulled it out. Fluttershy, seeing enough, promptly fainted while the others watched in sick fascination.

"The Dance of the Camellia is where I take the bone from one of my arms and use it as a sword. However I move much faster. If an opponent watches me their eyes will lag behind them." He demonstrated by charging to the left. All of them only saw images of him trailing to the left. "Like this I attack quickly and unseen, waiting for openings where I can land a death blow."

Rainbow felt something cold against her neck. She turned around and saw Ghost standing behind her. "Boo, you're dead." Ghost said as he withdrew the bone sword away from her neck. "It also affect my bones healing ability. I can actually regrow my bones if I use them." He showed them his useless left arm and suddenly it was lifted up. "I just regrew the bone in my arm."

Though he seemed to be barely doing anything, Ghost looked rather tired. Shaded noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. It just leaves me tired after a bit. I have enough energy to show three more before I pass out." Ghost said panting slightly.

"Dance of the Larch." Ghost said. All across his body bones sprouted at angles, making hooks. "This is for defense also. Though I can charge into the fray of battle taking out enemies with single swipes. For the other dance is a two part dance. I am being completely honest with you when I say that I hate doing this." The bones across his body went back into his skin. "It's called Dance of the Clematis: Vine." He crouched down and put his hands on the floor. He raised his right hand to below his neck. He then tore into his skin and pulled out most of his spinal column, beginning at the crevical veterbra and ending before the sacrum. He immediately started to heal his spine so he could stand up.

When he got up he could see that all of them looked sick, some of them even fainted. Pinkie was looking at him sadly before asking a question, "Does it hurt?"

Ghost gave a small sigh before saying, "Yes. Though, after doing this for a while it just turns into a throbbing sensation."

Pinkie still looked sad though. Ghost saw it and said, "Besides, I am the one who agreed to this. I know what's to come. You didn't force me, so I am doing this of my own free will. Don't feel down, turn that frown upside down." He walked over to her and pulled her face into a smile. She giggled slightly at what he was doing.

"Now back to my explanation. With this I can use my spinal column as a whip or a blade. The cartilage makes it extremely flexible." He demonstrated by making a downward stroke. "This is the first part of the dance. I count this as two dances because of how much of my energy is used to use them." Ghost looked at them and smirked. "The follow up dance is a power house move, though it is very slow. That is why this is the first part of the dance. It wouldn't make sense if the power behind the move missed, would it?" He slammed the spine into the ground and it appeared behind John wrapping him in the bone.

"Ah! What the he-" John managed to say before the bone covered his mouth.

"The second part is called Dance of the Clematis: Flower." Ghost held out his right arm and seemed to be focusing on it. It then erupted with bones, covering his entire arm in grey. The bones near his hand twisted until it resembled a drill. "What I would do is use the first part to hold the opponent in place. Then with this one, the target is immobile I charge forward and drill my arm into the target."

The bones on his arm started fading away, along with the bone around John. He glanced at it before saying, "See ya when I wake up." and promptly passed out, but not before a pained look crossed his face. It vanished as fast as it appeared making most of them believe it was a trick of the light.

"We should wait for them to wake up. Also when they wake up I could tell you some skills I learned while I was a slave." John spoke up after a minute of silence.

Meanwhile Luna was talking to Shaded. "I could enter his dreams to see what he seems so pained about."

"So, you also noticed that pained look in his face when he fell asleep too?" Shaded asked, looking for confirmation and not fazed that Luna could enter dreams.

"Yeah. I want to see what it is that has him so pained." Luna said, before walking to get permission from her sister to enter Ghost's dream.

Ghost's Dream

Ghost looked at the destruction that laid before him. He could hear screams of agony from the people in front of him. He wanted to help them, but knew it would be no use. He just shook his head and walked through the destruction, taking in every detail that was already engraved in his memory.

He saw people burning alive, people with cuts and bruises across their entire body. He saw people dieing of sickness and famine. As he walked by he felt a tear trail down his cheek.

With The Others

They moved Ghost to one of the guest bedrooms while he slept. While others were talking, Luna and Celestia's conversation took a turn to entering Ghost's dream.

"I don't see why you would enter his dream, Luna." Celestia whispered to her sister.

"But sister," Luna whined out quietly, "did you not see his expression before he passed out? I want to help him!"

"I did, but it was a trick of the light, Luna. You need to see through illusions." Celestia said.

"Sorry to interrupt, but it looks like Ghost is crying while he's asleep." Shaded said walking towards them. While the others ponies were talking to each other, while John and Shaded were watching Ghost. They both saw the pained expression on his face. John and Shaded had seen something like that quite a few times, John on his fellow slaves, Shaded on some of his friends that help him from other worlds.

Luna shot her sister a glance and walked towards the bed. Sure enough, Ghost had a tear trailing down his cheek.

"Please, Tia," Luna started, "let me help him."

Celestia let out an exasperated sigh before saying, "Alright... fine. Just be careful."

Luna smiled her thanks before starting the spell that only she could use.

]Ghost's dream

Ghost stood surrounded by his memories. He shook most of them off, leaving only a single memory that he had to confront every single night. He looked around and saw some creatures. He was then surrounded by green skinned creatures with light blue shirts and dark blue pants.

He looked at his right hand and found a familiar diamond sword, along with a block shape for a hand. He charged forward and cut through the creatures easily. "Chrystal!" He ran through the creatures he could not hit fast enough and their skin burned his when they touched. He ignored the pain and continued on through the hoard.

He got to a wooden two-story house with the creatures banging on the door and saw the doors break when he charged into them. He managed to kill them all and rushed inside after replacing the door.

"Chrystal!" He shouted as he looked through all the rooms on the first floor and rushed up the stairs.

It was at this time that Luna entered his dream.

He ignored the alicorn, as if she wasn't there, and looked inside each room. His eye started to twitch slightly. He looked inside the last room and saw a blond haired, brown eyed 9-year-old girl in the corner. "Come on! We need to leave now!" Ghost said as he pulled her out of the corner.

He ran back downstairs and opened one of the chests. From it he pulled out a bow and some arrows, and he grabbed something that looked like some eyeballs. He mashed them up and dipped the arrows into the goop. They glistened in the moonlight.

"Chrystal! Come on! We need to leave!" Ghost shouted as Chrystal came downstairs.

"Uncle Ghost? Where are we going?" Chrystal asked.

"The monsters are attacking again. We need to move. Quick get your stuff." Ghost said, his voice making no trace of him panicking. Chrystal's eyes widened as she went to another chest and pulled out some things. One that she looked at though was a photograph. It was black and white and had a baby girl with her parents. In the background a teenager stood there, almost as if watching them, as if waiting for trouble.

Luna watched them as they packed. "Let's go." Ghost said when they were finished. "The escape route." They walked over to the wall and Ghost pressed a button, opening the wall. Chrystal walked in first while Ghost turned around and threw a wooden sword at a button on the far wall. When it hit the button the wall opened up revealing what appeared to be heads with their mouths in an O shape.

They started to shoot arrows at the doorway effectively killing the creatures that managed to break through the doors again.

He then charged down the corridor after Chrystal.

After a few minutes of running he finally caught up to Chrystal. "Are you getting faster or am I getting older." Ghost said, catching his breath. It was then that Luna noticed that Ghost looked to be about 27. There was almost no difference between the age except for height. Normally Ghost was about 5'1, now he was about 6'1

"No, your just getting lazier." She said, smiling playfully.

Ghost chuckled slightly as they continued down the corridor big enough for the two of them to walk side by side.

They came out to a hallowed point in the corridor. It was about 11 by 13 meters. There were two beds, a furnace, a work bench, and a chest. "You hungry?" Ghost asked as he opened the chest.

"Of course! We ran for the past 20 minutes!" Chrystal exclaimed.

Ghost chuckled as he rummaged through the chest and grabbed four pieces of bread, giving them all to Chrystal. "Aren't you going to eat?" Chrystal asked.

"No. I'm not hungry. After you finish eating, go to bed. I know you're tired, so don't argue." Ghost said, a smile across his face. He then walked down the corridor that they came from.

Luna saw Chrystal finish the bread quickly before following him. Luna followed them both and what she saw was Ghost pulling a hidden lever next to him. Luna heard a hiss of something lighting on fire. Five seconds later the ceiling exploded, leaving rubble to fall down the pathway, blocking off the passage from any potential pursuers.

He walked back and saw that she was in bed, but not asleep. Ghost rolled his eyes playfully and said, "You want me to help you fall asleep?"

"Yes please!" Chrystal exclaimed, full of excitement.

"Well what do you want me to do?" Ghost asked as he sat down on the bed.

"Hmm. Tell me how you first came here." Chrystal said.

"Sure." Ghost said. "Well when I first came here, I didn't have what you would call common knowledge of this place. When your father found me I was nearly starved and pretty much ran from everything."

"Yeah. Dad said that you didn't know what a Creeper was!" Chrystal said while laughed slightly.

"Yeah. My first encounter with one it just chased me. I managed to trap it in a hole, though." Ghost said chuckling at the memory. "Anyways when your father took me in he taught me all about this place. He had to actually tempt me with food before he could talk to me."

"Like he did with a wolf! He tempted them to stay with him for bones!" Chrystal said.

"Yeah, kind of like that. He managed to calm me down. When he realized that I didn't know anything about this place, well, he took it upon himself to teach me about it." Ghost said as he smiled. "I still owe him for that, but I believe that I'm doing that by protecting you. Now go to sleep."

Ghost got up from the bed before his arm was grabbed. "Don't abandon me. Please?" Chrystal asked.

"Of course I won't. I'll always be here to protect you. Don't ever doubt that." Ghost said, wondering where that came from. He leaned down and kissed the top of her head. She smiled at him and threw the covers over her and turned over, asleep.

Ghost smiled at the scene before his face turned serious. He walked back to the passage and covered it with cobblestone and obsidian he mined out beforehand. He walked back into the room and put some coal into the furnace in case it got cold into the night. He then went to the bed on the opposite side of the room and went to sleep.

The dream then skipped to mourning when Ghost awoke. He smiled as he got up. He made sure that all the gear was there and then walked to Chrystal’s bed. He then tickled her arm slightly. She brushed his fingers away and went back to slumbering. He then tickled her neck causing her to do the same thing as last time. He then poked her face.

"Ah!" She woke up and rolled over falling to the floor.

"You awake now?" Ghost said, laughing.

"Hate you." Chrystal mumbled.

"Love ya too!" Ghost answered back. "Come on. We have to move farther away."

They got all their stuff and left down the hallway away from the one they came from. They went deeper into the area that Ghost had mined out.

"Where are we going?" Chrystal finally asked after walking in silence for a while.

"Well remember when I disappeared for a few days?" Ghost asked.

Chrystal nodded and said, "Yeah I thought you died. Or you got lost in one of the cave systems."

"Yeah well during that time I built a safe house. I filled it with snow golems, iron golems, and traps." Ghost said with a smile, obviously proud of what he had built. "It should be coming up soon."

The corridor started to go upward and soon natural light flooded into it. The harsh sunlight hurt both if their eyes. They squinted before Chrystal's and Luna's mouth dropped.

The safe house was enormous it looked like the roman coliseum. There was a fence gate that was lever activated. "Well what do you think? Do you think it's safe enough?" Ghost asked, smirking at her expression.

"I won't know until we're inside, but yes this looks completely safe." Chrystal said, still in awe.

They entered the building and Chrystal and Luna saw iron blocks put into a cross formation without the head. "If we're attacked all we need to do is place a pumpkin for their head." Ghost said.

It wasn't long before they were attacked again.

The creatures came without warning. The green skinned creatures managed to work the hidden lever to open the gates. The skeletons ran forward and shot their arrows trying to hit them.

"Chrystal go!" Ghost shouted, as he ran to the golems and put the pumpkin heads on them.

He then ran towards where Chrystal escaped to. He ran to her and from there they waited near the halfway built golems getting ready to put the pumpkins on in case the iron golems failed. They didn't wait long.

They heard an explosion and they put the pumpkins on the golems' heads and ran to the upstairs floor. The spiders crawling along the wall to get to them. Ghost was slashing through the spiders that jumped at them. It was then that the skeletons came and start to shoot arrows at them, along with the zombies getting closer to them.

Ghost quickly handed Chrystal his sword as he changed to his bow and shot the poisonous arrows at the skeletons and zombies. Realizing that it wasn't killing them fast enough he switched to a potion. Remembering that healing potions for humans hurt monsters he threw a potion of healing at them, causing them to get hurt by just walking near the cloud that appeared from the potion.

It was then that he heard a scream of pain behind him. He quickly spun around and saw Chrystal with a cave spider on top of her. Ghost charged forward and punted the spider off of her. He pulled another potion of healing out and gave it to her, his last one. "Drink it." Ghost said.

She gulped it down greedily and stood back up as it took effect. Ghost grabbed his diamond sword and attacked the monsters that came too close. They slowly backed away managing to kill of some of the monsters. They then turn and ran down the corridor.

After fight some more mobs the worst possible thing happened to them. Ghost's sword broke. Ghost cursed under his breath as he threw as hard as he could the end with the handle at the closest spider. It effectively killed it and the body provided a means to block the corridor. He and Chrystal ran down to the end of the corridor where there was a ladder leading to the top.

"Up there I have swords, bows, arrows, and armor. Go up and equip it. I'll make sure they won't catch up until we're ready." Ghost said as he turned back to the corridor before being stopped by a hand. He turned around and looked into Chrystal's shining brown eyes.

"Thank you." Chrystal said as she pulled him into a hug. The hug was unexpected, but not unwelcome. She then let go and started to climb the ladder.

Ghost walked back to the corridor with his broken sword. After a few minutes of watching he saw that they managed to actually go through the body of the spider, tearing through it. Ghost ran back to the ladder and tossed his sword at the button, hoping that he didn't miss.

His doubts were for nothing as the blade buried itself into the button. The wall opened and, similar to the one at the house, shot arrows at the incoming monsters.

Ghost climbed the ladder and got to the roof. From there he saw Chrystal, in full armor, grabbing a bow with arrows. "Well that didn't take you long." Ghost said, startling her.

He reached into the chest and donned the iron armor and another diamond sword. "So do you have an escape plan if this fails?" Chrystal asked.

"Of course I do! Do you think I'm dumb?" Ghost said. "Did you notice that the chest had boats in it?"

"Yeah, I was wondering why."

"Well that's our escape plan. I made a waterfall near the back of the safe house. From there I can make the safe house go into self destruct with all the TNT I set into the foundation and walls. Most, if not all, monsters are after us. Therefore if I blow up the safe house it'll kill most of the monsters, making them leave us alone until they regroup. Then we can do this, over and over again if they regroup to quickly." Ghost explained.

"Alright then." Chrystal said.

"You didn't hear a single word I said, did you?"

"I stopped listening after you said safe house go into self destruct."

Ghost rolled his eyes before hearing the moans and groans of zombies along with the clacks of from skeletons. "Grab a boat and get ready in case we have to go."

Chrystal nodded and grabbed a boat, carried it to where the waterfall is, and placed it in the water. Ghost did the same. They got back to the opening in time to see the zombies crawl out of it first. They slashed at the zombies, causing them to fall on the others that were climbing up the ladder.

It was then the spiders came from the wall of the safe house, surrounding them. They both slashed, dodged, stabbed, rolled, and slammed into the spiders. It wasn't long before the zombies and skeletons managed to climb the ladders and added onto the attack.

"Escape plan!" Ghost shouted to Chrystal. She nodded and rushed towards the boats. Ghost stayed behind and provided cover, until he heard a scream coming from the boats. He looked over and saw a cave spider biting Chrystal's leg. "No!" He at the spider and slashed it in half. He looked at the wound and saw it was green from the poison.

"No! No, no, no! Don't die on me! We can get some milk. That will take the poison out." Ghost said.

Chrystal looked at him sadly before saying, "You know we won't find a cow in time."

Ghost's eyes were watery, threatening to spill with tears. "Don't die on me."

"Ghost," Chrystal's voice seemed to be getting weaker as the poison took effect. "Don't be sad. I'm going to meet Dad again. I love you Ghost." Then she drew in her final breath.

Ghost picked her up, tears streaming down his cheeks, sat on the boat with her in his lap, and pushed of down the waterfall. They hit the bottom and Ghost gently picked Crystal back up and carried her to the lever which will blow up the safe house.

He pulled the lever and heard the hiss of TNT getting set on fire. He turned around and walked down the pathway as the safe house exploded into thousands of pieces, scattering bones and rotten flesh from the creatures across the forest.

He looked at Chrystal's body. He saw that she looked peaceful, almost as if she was asleep, but he knew better. She would never be waking up. He brought her body to a safe place and made a coffin for her. He put her in and buried her.

It was then that Ghost acknowledged Luna's presence. "What do you want?" His voice was commanding and cold. It sent chills down Luna's spine.

"I wanted to see what you were so pained about." Luna said. "Who was-" was all she managed to finish before Ghost cut in.

"Well happy now? You found out. Leave my mind, now." Ghost said. He waited for a bit before looking back and still saw her there.

"What did I just say? Get out. Leave me to my own thoughts." Ghost said again, if possible he said it even colder than before.

Luna obeyed grudgingly and faded from Ghost's mind.
