Arch-Angel

Sky Tower
Tyleia immediately aroused herself from her trance and stabbed the thing making the noise. It was at that moment that she realized that what she had stabbed was a little bronze mouse, and that there were several hundred more mice that were making what appeared to be a metal griffin. It was also at this time that she noticed a gigantic tower that loomed ominously in the distance. Worries for another time. She thought.
"Lierra," she said, "can you convince our friend here that we mean it no harm?"
"This...abomination can not be communicated with. Prepare yourself young one, I fear we will have to fight."
"I hate to break it to you, but I'm not really the fighting type."
Just then, Tyleia heard this coming from the shrubbery to her right;
"Taste my sword evil griffin thingy!" And then a 6-10 dragon born rushed out of the brush. The thing had dark scales that gleamed in the light, and he also had large black velvety wings. The Dragon Born then jumped on the griffin's back, and began to hack and slash at the creature's neck. After a few seconds of hacking and slashing, Tyleia ended the fight by collapsing a large rock on the mutilated head of the griffin.
"Thank you ugly lizard man." Said Tyleia.
The Dragon Born growled.
"Uhh, Handsome lizard man?" Tyleia ventured.
"Better. I am Baalasir, and thanks to me, you are not dead." Said the Dragon Born in a deep, gravely voice.
"Well, thanks I guess I should be going..."
It was at this time that the entire tower groaned, and from the top rose a gigantic Dragon. It looked like the griffin, except this one was gold.
"Can you take care of that dragon?" Asked Tyleia in a scared tone.
"No way! That's solid gold! You can only...melt...it. I've got an idea."
And with that he charged at the dragon. He jumped and leapt up to the dragon's body with surprising agility for a Dragon Born, and when he reached the head, he bathed it in a large wave of incredibly hot fire. The dragon's body convulsed, and it fell down with a melted head.
"Ha, whose the dominant dragon now?" Just then, the strange tower cracked slightly, and it groaned. Then, a large hydra arose from the top of the tower, proud and angry.
"What is going on in that tower!?" Asked Tyleia in an awed voice.
"I don't know. Varis went to investigate, but he hasn't come back yet."
"Wait, who is Varis?"
"Well..."
It was at this time that the hydra groaned, and fell down. Then, rising from the bowels of the beast, stood a very filthy elf. He was dressed in the garments of a rouge, and was holding two long knives covered with oil. He quickly sprinted towards Tyleia and Baalasir, running with obvious ease, oblivious to the chaos happening around him. As he was running, Baalasir called out to him, saying,
"Varis! You aren't dead!"
"You probably hoped so you sonofa-"
"Alrighty then!" Said Tyleia, trying to break the tension.
"Anyway," said Baalasir annoyed, "what did you see?"
"From what I was able to glimpse, we're screwed. The tower itself seems to be the source of all of the animals, and each time you kill one creature, a bigger one comes out. Either that, or more of the same creature."
As if to confirm his grim report, the tower groaned and cracked again, and three hydras arose from the top.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Tyleia yelled
"FOR KORAS!" Yelled a dwarf who ran out of the shrubs and at the hydras.
The Group
The dwarf ran at the hydras with Varis and Baalasir right behind him.
Once the dwarf reached the hydras he stabbed one in the chest. Then Baalasir ran up and smashed its heads together. Then Varis ran up to another and started slicing through it like it was made of cloth. When it was dead, the last hydra ran up and tried to slice through him. But Baalasir ran up and cut its leg off before it made contact. Then the dwarf ran up and killed it in the same manner as the first one.
"Thanks Baalasir." Varis said.
"No problem," he said.
"Hey Osric," Varis said "you showed up right on time."
"I aim to please," Osric said.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE," yelled Tyleia.
"Oh. My apologies ma'am," Osric said "Were are our manners, I'm know as Sir Osric, I'm the warrior of our group."
"And I am Varis," said the elf, "I'm the stealth and leader of this group."
"I'm Baalasir, strength of the group," said the Dragon Born.
Tyleia just stared at the odd group of people.
"OK, um I'll just be on my-," Tyleia was stopped by Varis.
"Wait, we may be in need of your help," Varis said.
"Why," she asked.
"Because," Osric said,"You are a very skilled fighter, are you not?"
"Yeah but why not someone else,"
"Well," Varis asked, "from what I gathered, you have met Kail, am I right?"
Tyleia said, "Yeah, but why does that matter."
"Because," Osric said, "I am a paladin as well."
"WHAT?!?!" She yelled, "You're a paladin too?!"
"Yes," he said, "But please keep your voice down, I don't want to be swarmed by a bunch of pricks asking me to rely a message to God."
Varis turned his head. "Uhh, it may be to late for that," he said.
Baalasir, who hadn't said anything yet, asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Look for yourself," he said and pointed to the left.
"Holy SHIIIIIII-," was all Osric said before hauling ass in the other direction, with the other three at his tail.
"What do we do now," Tyleia asked.
"We keep running," yelled Osric over the crowd.
They turned a corner, and like in the old movies, the crowd kept running straight.
"I didn't think that would work," Baalasir said.
"I didn't ether," said Varis.
"Alrighty then," Tyleia said, "WHAT THE HELL DO WE DO?"
"Well, me and Baalasir are going to our hideout with our friends," Varis said. Him and Baalasir whistled (don't ask how Baalasir whistled without biting his fingers off) and suddenly, a griffon with black feathers and a dragon came flying down from the sky.
"Oh God, a dragon," yelled Tyleia.
"It's alright," Baalasir said, "he's trained."
The griffon landed next to Varis and he hopped on its back, and yelled to Baalasir, saying "beat ya there."
"The hell you will," he yelled back, and hopped on his dragon and took off. Varis sat there for a moment before following to give him a head start.
"Sometimes, I just don't know about those to," Osric said.
"Well, where is this hideout of yours," asked Tyleia.
"Right here," he said, and teleported to the hideout.
"How did you do that," she asked, amazed.
"I'm a paladin, I can do a lot of things," he said.
"Oh, right," she said.
A half hour later, Varis landed outside. Then Baalasir landed.
"You cheated," he growled, entering the house.
"No," explained Varis, "You know that griffons are faster than dragons, aren't you Kaasteel?" The griffon nodded in answer. "Of course you know that," Varis said.
"Whatever, I'm going to bed," Baalasir said.
"Alright, see you in a couple hours then," Osric said.
"Whatever," mumbled Baalasir as he entered his room.
"Know then let's get down to business," Osric said.
Sky Tower part 2
"…And that's how I ended up here," finished Tyleia having been asked to tell about her adventure.
"I see," said Osric with increasing interest, "and that's all then?"
"Yes," she said.
Varis stood and said, "Well, I'm going to hit the hay."
"We should as well," said Osric, "you can use the spare bed."
"Thanks," she said as she got up and followed Varis to the spare bedroom.
"And here you are," he said while opening a door. "Not the best but better than the floor or ground."
"I'll live, thank you again," she said as she walk in the room.
"Well, if you need anything, just ask," Varis said. Then added, "But don't wake Baalasir, I learned that the hard way, couldn't feel a thing for a week."
"I'll remember that," she said, scared of what might happen if she woke the dragon born.
"Well, good night," Varis said and walked to his room and closed his door.
Tyleia sat on the bed a entered her trance she used to rest.
The next morning after everyone had woken and were ready to go; they returned to the sky tower to destroy it.
"How are we going to destroy that thing," Tyleia asked.
"I ain't got a damn clue," Varis said.
"Well, there's got to be something controlling it," she said.
"I looked in every room while I was in there, no control room, no nothing."
"What if someone was controlling it from somewhere else," she said.
"That may be a possibility," Osric said.
"Alright then, I'll scout the perimeter to see if there is any type of building that could be used as a control station," Varis said.
"Alright, me, Baalasir, and Tyleia will go and keep the monsters occupied, so you better hurry," Osric said.
"Don't worry," he said, "I'll be back in 10 seconds flat." (See what I did there)
"I see what you did there," said Osric and Tyleia said in unison.
"God Damn bronies," Baalasir said.
Varis ran off while Osric, Tyleia, and Baalasir ran towards the tower.
Varis spotted a building that was very small and well concealed. It was the perfect control station.
"Well, why don't we check that out," he thought to himself.
As he entered the building though, what he saw scared the living shit out of him.
"Why hello Varis, it's nice to finally meet you," it said.
"What the HELL are you doing here," he said, "your not supposed to be real!"
"And yet here I am, and I've been watching you and your friends for quite some time now," it said.
"But why us," he asked.
"Because I'm here to kill you" it said.
Finally he decided enough was enough… and ran out the door away from who he now knew was…… Princess Celestia.
How is SHE here!?!?
Baalasir, Osric, and Tyleia were fighting about 5 hydras at once, when they heard Varis screaming and running towards them yelling, "We have to leave NOW!!!
Baalasir and Osric had never seen him scared before, he even stood up to Baalasir when his girlfriend dumped him. And he was PISSED!
"If Varis is scared, then we should be to," Osric said, "we have to get to the hideout."
They got to the hideout and then Varis told them what happened.
"What do you mean Princess Celestia was there," asked Tyleia.
"Exactly what I said," Varis said.
"Why is she here," Osric asked.
"I don't know, she said she was watching us for awhile," he said.
"That's right, I have been," said a voice behind them. They turned around to see Princess Celestia there. Baalasir ran up to attack, but was shot back as a bolt of magic hit him, severely injuring him.
"Why would you do that," yelled Tyleia, who ran up to Baalasir who was struggling to get up.
"You have been deemed unworthy of life," Celestia said.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU BITCH!?!?" Yelled Varis as he charged Celestia. She tried at shot him as well, but he dodged it and cut her leg.
"AHHH," she yelled. "You will pay for that, until next time." Then she vanished.
Baalasir groaned bringing everyone out of their trance.
"Are you alright," Tyleia asked as she went to bandage him up.
"Yeah, I'm fine. The bitch just nicked me," he said.
"You need to rest," she said.
"NO," he yelled.
"Yes after a hit like that you need to heal," she said.
"FINE," he yelled as he went to rest.
"What just happened," Osric asked, "I must speak to Kail about this."
"We're coming with you," Varis said, "If he knew about this, shits goin' down."
"And maybe he can heal Baalasir," Tyleia added.
Osric sighed, "Very well, we leave in the morning."
The Truth
The next morning Tyleia rode with Varis on his griffin while Baalasir rode his dragon with Osric trying to heal him.
"Sooo," Varis said, trying to start a conversation, "what was that with Baalasir last night?"
"What do you mean," she asked.
"Why were you trying to help him and why did he listen," he asked.
"Well, he saved me first before I was killed by a griffin made of rats."
Kaasteel growled and said, "Excuse me?"
"It's alright boy, she wasn't talking about you," Varis said.
"Better not be," he said.
"So you were saying," Varis said.
"So I thought I owed him," she finished.
"I think it was more than that," Varis said.
Tyleia turned her head away as if she was blushing.
"Way do you say that," she asked.
"I've been around a long time my dear, I know love when I see it."
"I-I don't know w-what your talking about," she said.
"You can't hid your feelings forever," he said.
"Well wh-," she started to say but Osric yelled "we're here."
They landed and went inside. They made their way to where they last saw Kail…only to see him talking to the elements of harmony and……"CELESTIA, I WILL KILL YOU," yelled Varis as he charged toward her.
He went to slit her throat, but was stopped by a Holy Avenger.
"STOP" yelled a voice, it was……"Kail, what are you doing defending her, SHE TRIED TO KILL US!!!" Yelled Varis as he glared at him and Celestia. If looks could kill, everyone in that room would be dead.
"Please, let me explain," Celestia asked.
"Why should I trust you," Varis said.
"Because it was not me who attacked you, it was the changeling queen," she said.
"Yeah, likely story, but again, why should I trust you," asked Varis in an angry tone.
"Varis, listen to me," it was Kail, "She is telling to truth. She allowed me to enter her mind to examine her memories."
"So can we trust her?"
"Yes we can."
"………Alright then," he said, "why is she here and why are you here," gesturing to the 6 smaller ponies.
"We are th-,"
"Yes I know what you are, but why are you here."
"Because we are the only ones who can stop her," said the cyan pony.
"Now next question, what are your names," Varis asked, even though he already knew.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle," said the purple pony, "I'm a unicorn."
Next was the orange pony. "Mah name is Applejack, an' ah'm an earth pony."
Then it was the cyan pony with a rainbow colored mane. "My name is Rainbow Dash, and I'm the fastest pegasus in all of Equestria."
Then there was a pink blur and Varis was on the ground with a pink pony jumping on top of him. "HiI'mPinkiePie,oryoucancallmePinkieorPieorPinkiePie.What'syourname?Wherearewe?Whydoyo-," she was stopped by Varis's hand closing her mouth.
"Shut it," he said.
She got off him and then a white unicorn stepped forward. "My name is Rarity darling, and might I just say your clothes look absolutely hid-," she was stopped by Rainbow Dash. "Let's not make him mad OK?"
Last was a yellow pegasus with a pink mane. She was so quiet, no one could hear her.
"Nice to meet you Fluttershy," Varis said.
All the ponies gasped. "How could you hear her, we were right next to her and WE couldn't hear her," said Rainbow Dash.
"I'm a rouge, or an assassin if you will, and I've trained myself to be able to hear everything," he explained.
"Well, now that you've introduced yourselves, my name is Varis, and that," he said pointing at the dwarf, "is Osric, the dragon-looking guy is Baalasir."
Baalasir growled, causing all the ponies to jump at the sudden noise.
"Relax, they don't know what a dragonborn is, so I explained it as simply as possible," Varis said.
"And the women is Tyleia," he said, pointing to the woman.
"Well, now that that's out of the way, Celestia, you have a lot of explaining to do," Varis said, trying his best not to put his sword though her throat.
"I apologize for the misunderstanding, but that was not me," she said.
"Well, we'll just have to trust your word and Kail says we can trust you so I believe you," he said. "But, you and the elements will have to help us beat the changeling queen."
"We will do our best to help you," she said.
"Good. Now all we have to do is find her."
"Oh I don't think that will be necessary."
They all turned to see the changeling queen standing there, holding what appeared to be a dragons head.
The Pain and Love
"VITROS," screamed Baalasir. "I'LL KILL YOU, I WILL KILL YOU, AND IT'S GOING TO BE ONE HELL OF A SLOW DEATH, YOU FUCKING BITCH!!!!!" As he said that his sword cut off her wings and then he turned around and cut her legs off. Her screaming made him happy, as he continued to hack and slash at her. When he was done, she was nothing more than a pile of mush and guts. The seven other ponies in the room all stood there in shock at what just happened.
"Wait, what about Kaasteel," Varis asked.
Suddenly the door swung open and Kaasteel limped in with so much blood on him that it was hard to see his black feathers.
"KAASTEEL," screamed Varis as he ran to help his griffin friend.
Kaasteel looked at him with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Please," Kaasteel said, "help me."
"Please Celestia, is there anything you can do to help him," Varis asked on the verge of tears.
Celestia and the six smaller ponies looked like they were about to cry as well.
"He is in very bad shape," she said, "but I see that you love him very much so I will do my best to heal him."
Celestia walked over and put her horn against Kaaslteel's chest. As soon as her horn began to glow, Kaasteel's wounds started to mend together. As soon as she was finished she collapsed on the ground. The six ponies ran to Celestia while Varis ran to Kaasteel.
"Are you alright," he asked.
Kaasteel nuzzled him and said, "Yes, and thank you Celestia."
"You're welcome," she said.
Varis walked over to Celestia, who was just standing up and wrapped his arms around her neck and hugged her.
"Thank you so much," he said, "there is no way I will be able to repay you for what you did. You have no idea how much Kaasteel means to me." He pulled away as he finished thanking her.
"It was the right thing to do seeing how much you love him," she said, "I only wish I could do the same for Baalasir's dragon."
Just then everyone heard a roar and the door swing open to revile……"VITROS" yelled Baalasir in draconic (language of the dragons) as he ran to his dragon. "How are you alive, she came in hear with your head."
Vitros shook his head and nodded at the door.
There was the body of a dragon that looked a lot like him.
"No, that isn't your brother is it," he asked.
Vitros moved his mouth and said something to Baalasir. They both looked like they were about to cry.
"How did she find him," he asked.
Vitros did a motion with his shoulders as if he were shrugging.
"I see," Baalasir said.
"Well we had better get home before it gets dark," Varis said as he mounted his griffin.
"I would agree," Celestia said, "but we don't have a place to stay."
"You can stay with us," Varis said.
"What, why would you let us stay with you," Celestia asked.
"Come on Tia, it's the least I can do after you healed Kaasteel."
"I'm okay with it," Kaasteel said.
"Alright, I guess that would be okay," Tyleia said.
"I'm alright with it," Baalasir said.
"I'm perfectly fine with them staying with us," Osric said.
"It's settled then, you will stay with us as long as you like," Varis said, "Now earth ponies and unicorns get on either Vitros or Kaasteel."
Twilight and Applejack went with Kaasteel, while Raity and Pinkie went with Vitros. Celestia, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy flew along side them while the rest got teleported by Osric.

What Now?
(POV Change to Twilight)
"Well what do we do now," Twilight asked.
"Isn't it obvious," Rainbow Dash said, "We ask if they can train us to fight and defend ourselves."
"I don't think that is a good idea," Twilight said.
"What!? You saw how scared and helpless we were when the changeling queen showed up, we need to learn how to defend ourselves in this world," she argued.
"…You make a good point," she said.
"Alright," she finally said, "we ask them to teach us how to defend ourselves."
"YES" yelled Rainbow, "this is going to be awesome."

The Picking of Weapons and Armor
(POV change to Varis)
They went to Varis to ask him their question.
"Alright," he said
"Now before you say no we ha- wait did you say yes?" Twilight asked.
"Well you made very good points, so I might as well teach you how to fight."
"Aww hay yeah," Rainbow said.
"But," he said, "you need to make sure it's alright with Tia OK?"
"I think it's the safest thing to do," a voice said.
They turned to see Tia standing there.
"Tia, you have to stop doing that," Varis said, "you're going to give me a heart attack."
She chuckled, "Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear what you said and its alright with me."
"Awesome," Rainbow said.
"Well we should first get you some weapons," Varis said.
"Where do we get weapons," Twilight asked.
Varis led them down the hall to the end and touched the wall. As soon as he did, a door open and all the ponies gasp. The room was filled with every weapon you could imagine, from RPG's to battle axes.
"Wow," Rainbow said, "that's a lot of weapons."
"Don't tell Baalasir," he said.
"OK," they all said in unison.
"Look and see what you like," he said, but they were way ahead of him.
Rainbow was already looking the RPGs, while Twilight was looking at the rapiers, even Tia was looking at some weapons.
"What are these," Rainbow asked.
"Those are called RPGs, or rocket propelled grenade, which is a very fast explosion," Varis answered.
"We gettin' 20% cooler," she said while grabbing one.
Twilight was using her magic to examine a rapier.
"Ahh, the Rapier, excellent weapon for killing quickly, it would fit you perfectly," Varis said.
Pinkie was looking at a chainsaw(dear god help us all) and said, "I want this one!"
"Alright you'll have to ask Baalasir how to fight with that because I have no idea how," he said.
Tia held up an 8 foot scythe.
"What is this," she asked.
"Ah the scythe, that is a great weapon to cut and slice through opponents quickly," Varis answered.
"I think I would like to learn how to fight as well," she said.
"I would love to teach you how to fight," he said.
Rarity was looking Varis's most powerful pair of duel scythes.
"These are absolutely beautiful," she said.
"Well I'm glad you like them," Varis said, "they're my own hand made weapons, so I don't want them being used by anyone but myself."
"But," he continued grabbing a polished scythe that was 5 feet long, "you can use this."
She took it saying "thank you" and then Fluttershy walked up holding duel battle axes.
"I would like to use these… if that's okay w-with y-you," she said.
"If that's what you want to use, than that's fine with me."
Then Applejack walked over with a light machine gun.
"Ah woud lik' to use this here gun," she said.
"That's perfect for you," Varis said.
"Now then," Varis said, "we need to get you some armor."
He walked to one wall that had armor that looked like it was made for horses.
"These suits of armor were made for horses," he explained, "if we ever decided to get a horse for battle, and since you're here you will be using them."
Rainbow was the first over there, grabbing a black and red suit of iron armor.
Then it was Pinkie was over there getting some pure black scale armor.
Then it was Twilight, who grabbed some steel armor.
Rarity was grabbing the most polished steel armor while Fluttershy grabbed the scale armor.
Then Applejack grabbed the branded iron armor.
Then it was Tia's turn. She grabbed the white holy armor that Osric saved for if he got a horse.
"The armor that you grabbed fit you all perfectly," he said, "especially you Tia."
"Thank you," she said.
"Now lets get you in your armor."
Varis walked over to Rainbow and helped her slide in her armor over her wings.
Varis then walked to Fluttlershy and helped her.
He was about to go help Pinkie, but she had somehow already managed to get it on and was bouncing on the…ceiling?
"I'm not even going to ask," he thought to himself.
So he walked over to Applejack and helped her.
He didn't need to help the unicorns or Tia because they already had magic to put it on.
"Well, now that you're ready, how about we go to the training room?" he asked.
"Alright," they all said in unison, even Tia did.
"Alright then, follow me," he said, closing the door behind them.

The Training
At this point everyone was up and talking.
"Hey guys," Varis said, walking in the room, "I need your help with training them."
"Okay," they all said.
"Good, now Baalasir, you help Pinkie and Applejack. Tyleia, you help Rarity and Fluttershy. Osric will you help Rainbow Dash?"
"Yes," he replied.
"Good, then I will take Twilight and Tia."
They all walked in to then training room and began training.
"Now Twilight," Varis explained, "that weapon is used to quickly take someone down. It's thin because it's supposed to move quickly making it hard to block."
"I see," she said.
"Tia," he said, "your weapon is made to be sharp so it cuts through an opponents armor."
"Marvelous," she said.
"Now Twilight, take a swing to see how quick it is."
She did, and nearly lost her grin on it with her magic.
"Careful," he said, "I told you it was fast."
"You weren't kidding."
"Now your turn Tia."
She swung her weapon… and nearly took Varis's head off in the process. Luckily he ducked just in time.
"Oh goodness, I'm sorry are you all right," she asked, concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine, I've had a lot of practice dodging swords."
They continued training all day. The only other thing that happened was Rainbow blowing a hole in the wall.
"Sorry?"

The Sparing
The next couple of weeks they trained nonstop. They were getting better and better with each minute.
"Well now that you're fully trained," Varis said, "why don't we spar with each other?"
Rainbow was the first to speak.
"I call fighting Baalasir!"
Varis whispered in Baalasir ear, "Don't kill her."
"I won't," he replied.
Next was Twilight.
"Me and Celestia want to face Varis."
"Me? Why?"
"Well," Tia began, "you did train us, so we thought it would be proper to face you."
"Alright," he said.
Next was Pinkie.
"I want to face Baalasir too."
"Great," Baalasir growled, "two against one."
"Hey that's fair, you're a dragonborn and they're ponies," Varis said.
Next was Rarity and Applejack.
"We wish to fight Sir Osric," Rarity said.
"Very well," Osric said.
Fluttershy was next to speak.
"I would like to face Tyleia, if that's okay with you."
"I would love to face you," Tyleia said.
"It's settled then," Varis said.
They went outside and took up their stances.
Twilight was the first to attack, taking a slash at Varis's legs.
Varis saw this coming and jumped up and over Twilight and took a slash at her back as he went over.
Twilight flattened herself to the ground and turned to see Varis already dodging attacks made by Celestia, so she went to help her.
Meanwhile; Rainbow, Pinkie, and Baalasir faced each other.
Rainbow, who had decided to keep a sword along with her RPG took a swing a Baalasir.
He effortlessly pushed it aside and swung at her.
She flapped her wings and shot into the air and fired a rocket at him.
He dove to the side as it exploded behind him and Pinkie took this chance to attack.
She brought down her chainsaw, but he rolled to the side and tried to swing at her, only to miss and stumble at the weight of his sword. Rainbow took this chance to fire at him again.
Over with Osric, Rarity, and Applejack, they were in a hilt lockup, pushing against each other to gain the upper hand. While it was 2 on 1 Osric still held his own against the ponies. But after a few minutes though, he lost his footing and their swords came down on him. He jumped back and they missed. He ran towards them and continued to fight.
Fluttershy and Tyleia looked at each other. Suddenly, Tyleia felt a strange feeling while staring at her. She felt like she couldn't move. "Wait a minute," she thought, "is she using the…STARE!?!?"
She was, because as soon as she finished that thought, Fluttershy charged. She swung at her, but suddenly, Tyleia ducked.
"What," Shy thought, "she shouldn't be able to move!?"
Tyleia ran at Shy and swung. Shy blocked and they continued to fight.
Back to Twilight, Tia, and Varis.
Twilight ran up to help her mentor, who was fighting Varis without much luck.
Twilight tried to swing at him, but he heard her coming and did a backflip over her.
His plan was to take out her legs, but it backfired, because now he faced both of them at once. Tia and Twilight charged, causing him to have to block and dodge at the same time. He was out numbered and outmatched, and he knew it, but he wasn't going down with out a fight. He managed to hold them off long enough to land a scratch on Tia's armor, but was pushed to the ground a few seconds later with her blade at his throat.
By now they were the only ones still fighting, as the ponies managed to beat all of them.
"Damn," Varis said, out of breath, "that was… the best fight… I've had in years… even from the hydras."
"Well, we had great teachers," Tia said, holding a hoof out to help him up.
He grabbed it gratefully, and pulled himself up.
"I think you're ready to face real enemies," he said.
"What," Twilight said, "are you sure?"
"Yes, no one has ever been able to beat us in a fight," he said.
"Wow," Rainbow said, "I didn't think we were that good."
"Well where do we find some enemies," Twilight asked.
"Right hear," a voice said behind them.
"Discord," Tia said.
"That's my name, don't wear it out."

Harmony
"What do you want Discord," Tia said.
"Why, what I always wanted," he said, "after all, you made me like this."
"What," Twilight asked, "what does he mean Celestia?"
"I'll tell you after he's turned to stone," she said.
"Alright here's the plan," Varis said, "Me, Osric, Baalasir, and Tyleia will distract him while you use the elements, okay."
"Alright," they said.
"What do I do," Tia asked.
"Well isn't is obvious," he said, "you help us."
"Alright," she said.
(We all know what happens, while Discord is distracted, they turn him into stone, so I'll just skip to Tia's story)

The Truth of Discord's Past
"Alright Tia," Varis said, "time to explain what he meant."
"Alright," she said, "well it all happened 110 years ago."
"Discord was not always like this, he was a good friend of mine and Luna's."
"But one day he asked me a question I never thought I'd hear from him."
Flashback
"Tia," Discord said, "do you……love me?"
"What," she said.
"I asked do you love me?"
"Discord, I love you as a friend, but I love somepony else."
"WHAT!?!?"
"Yes, I love somepony else."
"Who," he yelled.
"His name is Giovanni."
"What why him," he asked.
"Because he's smart, funny, and polite and I love him for it."
"Fine lets see if you like his head on a platter," he yelled and teleported out of the room.
"WHAT, YOU WOULD NOT DARE" she yelled at where he just was.
"Sister, what's wrong," Luna asked, barging through the door.
"Discord is going to kill Giovanni!!!"
Luna gasped.
"We have to save him," Tia said.
"Oh it's far to late for that," Discord said holding a head in his claws.
"No, you didn't," she yelled at him.
"Oh but I did."
"You will regret that," Luna said as she and Tia floated off the ground.
"What are you doing," yelled Discord.
"FOR CRIMES AGAINST HARMONY, AND AGAINST US, WE SHALL NOW USE THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY TO INPRISEN YOU IN STONE!!!!" Celestia and Luna yelled, using their royal Canterlot voices.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," he yelled as a rainbow colored missile was shot at him, turning him to stone.
End Flashback (from now on first person story for Varis)
"Wow," I said.
"I never thought Discord loved you," Twilight said.
"It shocked me to," Tia said.
"But why," I asked.
"I don't know."
Rainbow was hovering in the air with a bored look on her face.
"Whatever," she said, "can we fight some real enemies now?"
"Yes Rainbow," I said, "we can fight some real enemies now."
"Yes," she shouted, pumping a hoof in the air.
I chuckled, "First we need to find some, so everyone get on either Kaasteel or Vitros."
Tia and Me
Twilight and Applejack rode on Kaasteel and Pinkie and Rarity rode on Vitros while Osric teleported.
"Celestia," I said, "when we get there, I need to talk to you."
"Very well," she said.
I nodded.
An hour later we arrived at the sky tower.
"Alright," I said, hopping off of Kaasteel, "everyone follow Osric."
They left while me and Tia stayed behind.
"Tia, I have to ask, if it wasn't for Giovanni, would you have loved Discord?"
"Why do you ask," she said.
"Because I have to know," I said.
"I don't know," she said, "it was a thousand years ago."
"Well would you be willing to……love again?"
"Probably, why," she asked.
"Because…well…I think I… love you," I said.
"What," she said.
"I think I love you," I stuttered.
"What, why do you love me?"
"Because you're beautiful, smart, and you know how to stand up for yourself and your friends."
"I see," she said.
"If you don't think the same I under-."
"No, I think I love you to," she said.
"What, you're not creeped out that a human loves you," I said.
"Of course not, Giovanni was a human too," she said.
"But you said somePONY else," I said.
"I didn't want the elements to know I loved a human," she said, hanging her head low.
I couldn't take it, her looking like she was going to cry, so I walked over and wrapped me arms around her neck and ran my fingers through her mane.
"Listen, it's okay," I said, "I'd do the same thing in your shoes…err…hooves."
I felt tears roll down my back as she cried, and I felt tears run down my face as well.
"I love you Varis," she said.
"I love you too, Tia."
She looked at me and smiled. I smiled back.
"Let's go find the others," I said.
"Yeah," she said.
When we found them they were all fighting 7 hydras.
Tia and I ran up and took two out from behind.
"'Bout time y'all showed up, we could use y'all's help," Applejack said.
"We aim to please," I said.
"Well, why don't you come help us then," Baalasir said.
We all ran, while Rainbow shot rockets, and started killing off the hydras.
After we were done we went to the hideout and Tia and I went outside to talk.
"I'm glad that you feel the same why about me," I said.
"Well I've had feelings for you ever since I healed your griffin," she said.
"Really," I asked, "that long?"
"Well, yeah."
I leaned in and hugged her. "Well I love you more than Luna does."
"OH, Luna," she yelled, "I forgot to tell you that she will be showing up soon."
As soon as she said this……Luna showed up and saw us embracing.

Luna
"HOW DARE YOU HURT OUR SISTER" she shouted in her royal Canterlot voice, causing me to cover my ears in pain.
"THOU SHALL PAY FOR THINE ACTIONS!!!"
She shot a bolt of magic at me, but I dodged it having fought the changeling queen before. She shot another one at me, but I couldn't get out of the way this time, and I knew it. I stood there waiting for the end, but it never came. I looked to see Tia had put a shield in front of me, stoping her sister's magic.
"Sister," Tia said, "stop this madness, he was comforting me."
Unbeknownst to us; everyone else had come out side to see what the shouting was about, and had heard what Tia just said, and stood there dumbstruck, especially Twilight.
"What," Luna said, stopping her magic.
"Yes, I love him, just as I loved Giovanni."
"I'm sorry sister," she said, "I didn't know." She looked down as if she was going to cry.
I walked over and put my hand on her shoulder, "It's all right, you didn't know, I would have done the same thing."
"Really, you forgive me," she asked, on the verge of tears.
"Yes we both forgive you." It was Tia who said this.
"But why," she asked; looking up at us.
"Because, just like he said, you didn't know."
"I'm so sorry," she said, almost crying.
I wrapped my arms around her and said, "It's okay."
I felt her tears run down my back for about two minutes, before she looked back at me, smiling.
"What is going on out here," yelled Twilight, breaking out of her trance.
"How much did you see," Tia asked, not looking at them.
"We heard how you love Varis," she said.
"I was afraid you would say that," Tia mumbled.
"Care to explain you two," Twilight said.
"Ever since I healed his griffin, I've had feelings for him, the same I had for Giovanni, but I was afraid he wouldn't feel the same, until he told me he loved me."
"But why would you love a human," Twilight asked, "no offense."
"None taken," I said.
"Because I loved one before, and had him taken from me," she said.
"But you said you loved somePONY else," Twilight said as the realization dawned on her.
"No, he was a human."
Twilight just sat there, her jaw on the ground.
"I appreciate your concern for my well being sister," Tia said, "but I can handle my own love life, thank you."
"Very well," she said, "Varis, can I talk to you for a moment in private?"
"OK," I said.
The others all went inside while Luna and I walked into the forest.
She suddenly stopped and looked at me, staring daggers into me.
"Listen to me," she said, "if you hurt my sister in anyway, you will regret it."
I put my hands up in surrender. "I would never dream of hurting you or your sister," I said.
She suddenly started crying and threw her forelegs around me.
"You have no idea what I've gone through to hear someone say that," she cried, "Thank you so much."
I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her back.
"I would never hurt any of you ponies," I said, "you all mean to much to me for that to happen."
She calmed down after awhile and we walked home with her wing around my back and my arm around her neck.

I'm Baaack
Me and Luna had been getting along much better after our talk in the forest. Tia and I have been getting more and more closer, and soon we were sleeping in the same bed(none of that shit you're thinking of intended).
"Hey Tia," I said one night.
"Hmm?"
"Well I was wondering, where did you meet Giovanni?"
"I meet him when he appeared in the Everfree forest."(cliché)
"Really, because I had a good friend named Giovanni 115 years ago," I said.
"Really, what did he look like," she asked.
"He was my brother, so he looked a lot like me," I said.
"My Giovanni was your brother," she gasped.
"Yeah," I said.
"That just makes me love you even more," she said, snuggling closer and resting her head on my chest.
I ran my fingers through her mane and said, "I love you too."
The next morning I got up and went to wake Tia up, but she wasn't there.
"Maybe she is already up," I thought.
I went downstairs to see if Tia was there, but she was nowhere to be found.
"LUNA," I shouted.
Luna came running down the stairs saying, "What is it?"
"Tia's gone," I shouted.
"We have to get the others and find her."
Once we woke the others, we told them what happened.
"We need to find her," I said.
"She's right here," a voice said; a voice I recognized immediately.
"Changeling," I shouted, turning to look at her. What I saw horrified me.
She was holding Tia by the horn, ready to break it off. Tia looked like she was weak and ready to die from exhaustion.
"DON'T YOU DARE HURT HER!!!!"
"Then you will follow me," she said.
"Where to," I asked.
"Why to Equestria of course," she said, "after all I am the ruler now that the princesses left."
"WHAT DID YOU DO!!!!!"
"I'll show you," she said, and then we were in Equestria.
It was nothing more than a bunch of ruble.

Equestria in Ruins
"What happened," I said.
"The princesses left and I took over."
"WHAT DID YOU FUCKING DO," I shouted at her.
"I destroyed everything to start fresh," she said.
"Why," I asked.
"Because," she said, "SHE TOOK AWAY THE LOVE OF MY LIFE BECAUSE HE DIDN'T BOW TO HER!!!!!"
"What, I never killed anypony for not bowing," Tia said.
"Exactly, for not bowing, but you killed him because he was a changeling who said he needed too talk to me, so you had him executed!"
"I didn't want to kill him, but he forced me to do so," Tia said.
"Yes," she said sarcastically, "because he wanted to see me before you killed him."
"Well I didn't know that he was your lover," she said.
At this point, the changeling queen wasn't even there, having left to sulk.
"Wow Tia," I said, "you ruined a lot of lives, no offense."
"You're right," she said,"I've ruined so many lives, and I might ruin your life to."
"No, you could never ruin my life," I said, "only I could ruin my life."
"But what if I got you killed, or I left you," she asked.
"Then I would do anything and everything to find you and get you back."
"Varis," she said, "if we don't make it, I need you to do something."
"Anything."
"Kiss me," she said.
After a moments hesitation, I leaned toward her, put my arms around her, and kissed her. We sat there, kissing each other for what felt like an eternity. Finally, our lips parted, and we sat there just embracing.
"I love you," Tia said.
"I love you too," I replied, "more than anything in the world."
"We have to stop her," she said.
"We need the others first," I said, "and I need Kaasteel to get too her."
"Alright, I'll see if I can get us back to get them," she said, "then we can defeat Crystalis."
When we got back to earth, she grabbed the others while I grabbed Kaasteel and Baalasir grabbed Vitros, and we teleported back to Equestria.
When we got there we made a plan.
"Alright, here's the plan," I said, "me and Baalasir will attack Crystalis while everyone else protects and gets to the elements."
"But I want to help you," Tia said once they were alone.
"No," I said, "I can't lose you like I lost my mother."
"What happened," she asked.
"Later," I said, "Right now is not the time, and you will go with the elements, only you can truly protect them."
"Okay," she said, "but if you die, I don't think I will be able to go on will out you."
"It's alright," I said, "I will be back in 10 seconds flat."
"I see what you did there," she said.
I grinned and took off with Kaasteel, while Tia ran off to join the others.
"You love her a lot, don't you," someone said.
"Who said that," I asked.
"I did."
I looked down to see Kaasteel looking at me.
"How can you talk, physically I mean."
"We're in Equestria," Kaasteel said.
"Ohh," I said, "Yeah, I love her a lot."
"Good," he said.
True Form
Baalasir was already in the air heading towards where the changeling queen was.
"Bout time you showed up," he said.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world."
We reach her and landed in front of her.
"Well, well, well, you finally showed up."
"Listen Crystalis, I know how you feel, about losing a loved one, I can help you," I said.
"What do you mean, 'you know how I feel'?"
"I lost my mother the same way you lost your lover."
"She was executed too," she asked.
"Yes," I said, "and I vowed to kill everyone involved in her death, and I did, but I didn't feel any better about it, in fact, I felt worse."
"Why," she asked.
"Because I killed them all in cold blood. And I had killed many people who weren't involved. So please, you can have your revenge, but there is no need to kill everyone."
By now I was right in front of her, staring her in the eyes.
Suddenly she started to cry. I walked over and wrapped my arms around her.
"It's alright, I did the same thing," I said.
Out of nowhere she began to change, and instead of an insect pony, she became a beautiful light blue alicorn with a white mane.
"Thank you," she said.
"Anything for a friend," I said.
She backed up and looked me in the eyes, and I saw her beautiful blue eyes.
"Your eyes are beautiful," I said.
"Thank you. This is my true form," she said.
"What do you mean?"
"When I'm shown true friendship, I find my true form."
"I see," I said, "Will you follow me?"
"Of course," she said.
We walked to the main hall, my arm around her neck her wing around my back, and found Tia and the elements fighting an army of changelings.
"STOP," Crystalis yelled.
Everyone froze in place. Tia turned to see me beside the true form of Crystalis.
"WHO IS THAT," she shouted, angry.
"Tia, this is Crystalis," I said.
"What?"
"Yes," Crystalis said, "this is my true form. After I am shown true friendship, I find it."
"I can't believe it," Luna said, walking over, "I never thought I'd see you like this again."
"It's good to see you not as Nightmare Moon," she said.
Luna chuckled.
"Well what do we do with the changel-," Rainbow began, but then saw what was behind her.
The changelings had changed into their true form, looking like they had no idea where they were.
"R-Rumble," Rainbow said, looking at a green and yellow pegasus, "is that y-you?"
"Rainbow," he said.
She flew over to him and tackled him to the ground, hugging him tightly.
"They said you were dead," she said, crying tears of joy.
"Rainbow," he said, "I'm fine."
"I love you," she said.
"I love you too," he said.
After we all got their bearings, I walked over to Tia and took her out of the room to talk to her in private.
"So, did you really kill him for not bowing to you," I asked.
"…yes I did," she said, "but not because he didn't bow, but because he said he had to see the changeling queen."
"I understand," a voice said behind them. They turned to see Crystalis standing there.
"Sorry," she said, "but I understand why you had him executed."
"But I shouldn't have killed him," she said, "if I had known he was your lover and he just wanted to talk to you, I would've let him go."
"While that is true, you didn't know, so you took precautions."
"I'm so sorry Crystalis," Tia said, starting to cry.
The former changeling queen walked over and nuzzled her cheek.
"No," she said, "I'm the one who should be sorry, I learned from a good man that killing in cold blood doesn't help. The only thing that does is knowing that you can't hold onto the past, for it doesn't help at all, only makes things worse." She winked at me.
I walked over and hugged both of them.
"It looks like we learned a good lesson in friendship and trust," I said.
"Yes we did," Tia said, "yes we did."
My Mothers Death
"Now," Crystal said, "how did you lose your mother?"
"Well, it was 200 years ago."
(Flashback)
"Mom, can I go play with Giovanni," Varis asked.
"Yes you can."
Varis ran off with his older brother, while his mother saw two guards walking towards her.
"Ma'am we need you to come with us," they said.
"Why," she asked.
"For harboring an alleged criminal."
They put her in handcuffs and walked her to the courthouse.
There she was sentenced to death.
The next day, having not been able to find his mother at home, Varis and Giovanni were walking through town when they heard shouting.
Following the noise, they saw their mother about to be hanged.
"Mother," Giovanni yelled, but was caught by two guards.
"Sir, you are hereby sentenced to death for the murders of three women."
"What, I never killed anybody."
They took him to a noose and wrapped it around his neck. Varis just stood there in shock.
They didn't say anything as they pulled the lever and let them drop.
As he was chocking, Giovanni vanished into thin air.
But his mother died from suffocation.
(End Flashback)
"They killed him because they thought he killed people," Tia said.
"Yes," I replied, "never ask me to tell the story again."
"As you wish."
The Teaching of Luna and Crystal
We had decided to take Crystalis, or who we now call Crystal, back to earth with us, as she had wanted to know more about us. We got back and I decided to teach her and Luna(who had not been taught) how to fight.
"Alright," I said, taking them to the secret room, "now I'm going to teach you how to fight with weapons instead of using magic all the time."
"Okay," they said.
"Now, choose a weapon to your liking and bring it to me and I'll get you a suit of armor."
They were already looking at weapons. Crystal was looking at a wicked looking at a Frostmorne.
"Ahh, "I said, "the Frostmorne, a powerful weapon made of ice. Powerful indead." Luna looked at a pair of midnight colored scythes.
"Duel scythes are an excellent choice, in fact I use my pair of scythes."
"Now lets get you some armor," I said.
I walked them over to the wall that had the armor and let them look at it. Luna choose a scale suit of very dark purple armor that looked like her mane and Crystal got a suit of pure red steel armor.
"Perfect," I said, "now lets put it on." I walked over to Luna, who was having the most trouble with the chest plate, and helped her put it on, then helped Crystal put hers on.
"You look read for battle," I said.
I took them down to the training room.
"Now," I said, facing Luna, "take a swing with your scythes."
"Okay," she said.
She swung, barely missing me as I dove backwards.
"Oh my," she said, "are you alright?"
"Yeah I kinda saw that coming, your sister did the same thing."
I looked at Crystal, "Well, it's your turn, go ahead swing it."
She did and again I found myself hitting the floor to keep my head where it was.
"Guess I swung a little to hard," she said sheepishly, looking at the sword that was now stuck in the wall on the other side of the room.
"Holy shit," I mumbled.
For the next few weeks they trained and trained until they were ready to face me, like the others did.
"Why would we fight you," Luna asked.
"Because," I said, "we need to be sure that you're ready to face a real enemy without having you fight something to strong for you."
"Oh," she said, "Well, when do we fight?"
"Right now," I said, taking them outside, where everyone was already waiting.
"We even have an audience," I said.
"No," Rainbow said, "We're here to make sure you don't hurt them."
"Haha very funny."
We took our stances facing each other waiting for the other to make a move. I charged, and as I thought everyone was confused, because they knew I never make the first move. I ran at them and jumped over them and swung at their backs. They turned around and block both of my scythes and pushed them away. I pretended to stumble backwards, and they took the chance to attack. However, I was not expect them both to attack at the same time. I block Luna's scythes and dodged Crystals Frostmorne. I was then under the onslaught of three different weapons.
"Teamwork," I said, "Smart, but ineffective."
I jumped back and rolled around them to get behind them again, but was unsuccessful, as they were expecting it and had already turned around. As I rolled to my feet, I was somehow attack from behind. Luckily my wards protected me(Eragon reference, anyone who doesn't get it…Fuck you), but it was enough force to push me forwards and fall to the ground with a sword on my chest.
"Alright," I said, "how did you get behind me?"
"Simple," Crystal said, "Luna teleported behind you while you were rolling and push you forwards while I tripped and pinned you."
"Alright, you beat me fair and square," I said.
"Way to go Luna and Crystal," Tia said.
Luna held out her hoof and I took it gratefully.
"Well we had the best teacher," she said.
"Are you guys always so humble," I asked.
"Yeah," Crystal said, "they are."
"Thanks," I said to Luna, "you ponies are natural fighters."
"Thank you," they all said.
"Why don't we all head inside," I said.
They went inside, but I stopped Tia, Luna, and Crystal.
"Hey, I need to talk to you," I said.
"Yeah," Luna said, "what is it."
"Did you guys mean it when you said you had a great teacher?"
"Of corse we did," Tia said.
"Yeah," Crystal said, "you're the best teacher anypony could ask for."
"That's good."
"Luna, Crystal, will you two go inside," Tia said, "I need to talk to Varis alone."
"Of course," they said and went inside.
"What is it," I asked.
"I just wanted to spend some alone time with you," she said.
"Well, what are we waiting for," I said, "where do you want to go?"
"To Equestria."
To Equestria
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Alright, but we have to tell the others."
"You go tell them, I'll get the spell ready."
So I told them that we were leaving and went back to Tia to find her crying.
"Tia," I said, walking up to her and hugging her, "What's wrong?"
"I was just remembering Giovanni."
"It's alright," I said, "l'm here and I'll never leave you."
"That's good to hear," she said.
I kissed her, and said, "Well, why don't we go to Equestria then."
"WAIT," we heard a voice say behind us.
We turned and saw the other 8 ponies running towards them.
"We want to go to," they said.
"Okay," I said.
"Great, we wanted to go back sometime."
So Tia teleported all of us to Equestria.
When we got there, the mane six said their goodbyes and left for Ponyville, while Tia, Luna, Crystal, and I stayed in the palace.
"Tia, Crystal, may I have a moment with Varis?"
Tia looked at me with worry in her eyes. I just nodded my head.
"Alright," Tia said. Then they left the room.
"What did you want Luna," I asked.
"I wanted to ask you if-if y-you……like me?"
"Of course I like you," I said, but I knew what she meant.
"No I mean," she stuttered, "do you love me."
I was still shocked when she said that, even though I was expecting it.
"Luna," I said.
"I know you're dating my sister, but can't you love us both?"
"I… don't know," I said, "I'm not sure if Tia would be okay with it."
"It's okay with me," Tia said from behind them.
"Tia, I swear to god," I said, "if you do that again, you're going to regret it."
She chuckled.
"Wait," Luna said, "did you say it was okay if I dated Varis too?"
"Yes," she said, "I was wondering when you would ask."
She 'squeed' in joy and hugged me so tight I couldn't breath.
"Luna…can't…breathe," I gasped out.
"Oh, sorry," she said letting go.
"I'm glad you love him as much as I do," Tia said.
"Well," Tia said, "why don't we take this love upstairs."
"I'm in," I said.
"Me too," Luna said.
"Great," Tia said with that very creepy grin of hers, which reminds me of a rape face(link at bottom of page).
Tia's Bedroom
(Only clop in book, hope you're happy, cause I'm not)
We went upstairs to Tia's royal chambers, and I gasped at the size of the room. It was equal to the size of our house back on earth.
I could only think of two words to describe what I felt, "Holy Shit".
"Nice isn't it," Tia said.
"Even mine's not this big," Luna said.
"Well," I said, "why don't we get to the huge bed over there."
"Beat you there," Luna and Tia said at the same time.
I strode over to them, and lay beside them.
"This is nice," I said, "just the three of us, laying here, no one else around."
They take my hint and start to take their armor off, while I took my armor off, and left my tunic and leggings on.
"Well come on," Tia said, "don't be shy."
I walked over to them, but was knocked out cold by something hitting the back of my head.
(Hahahaha, told you there wouldn't be any clop, you perverted fucks)
"Ow," I said, waking up with what felt like the worst hangover ever, "What the fuck happened?"
"You were knocked out when Luna's magic went crazy from excitement," Tia said.
"Ohhhhhhkay, weird but legit," I said.
"Sorry," Luna said.
"It's all right," I said.
"Well we should get the elements and Crystal, and get back to earth."
"How come," I asked.
"Well the time difference is great," she said.
"Oh much," I asked, curious.
"Wellll," she said, "one day here is one year in your world."
"Oh shit," I said, "we have to go back, NOW!!!!"
"What's the rush," Luna asked.
"Because," I said, "we have to fight a war with hell spawn, TODAY on earth."
"Quick," Tia said, "we have took go now." She knew what I meant by hell spawn, because I explained them to her.
"Okay," Luna said, "I'll get the elements, you get Crystal."
Once we got everybody together, Tia got us back to earth, but what we saw made our hearts sink.

Hell on Earth…Literally
Hell had already broken loose, literally, and all our friends were fighting for their lives.
I saw Kaasteel fly over head and whistled. He heard me. He looked down and saw me and dove right down on top of me.
"Ahh it's good to see you to boy, but we need to find the others."
"Varis, about time you got here," he said, "Get on my back, I'll take you to the others."
"Tia, Luna, and Crystal, you'll have to carry the 4 that can't fly, can you do that," I asked.
"Yes," Tia said.
"Good, then follow us."
I took of with Kaasteel and he took us to where the others were. When we found them, they were fighting 15 hydras, 5 griffins, and 2 dragons. I dove on top of one of the dragon and went to kill it, but then saw it was Vitros.
"Sorry Vitros," I said.
He growled as I jumped to the other dragon and killed it. I then killed 3 of the griffins and 5 of the hydras with surprised looks on their faces.
"Bout fuckin' time you show up," Baalasir said, "you've been gone a whole year."
"Sorry, damn time difference is crazy."
By then the rest had shown up and finish off the rest of the monsters.
"What do we do now," Tyleia asked.
"We need to get somewhere safe and formulate a plan, and I take it the hideout was found?"
"Yes," Osric said, "but we managed to save all of the armory."
"That's awesome," I said, "so do we have anywhere safe to go?"
"Yes," he said, "we are staying with Kail and the Arch-Angels."
"Thank God," I said, "Lets get going."
Kail and the Arch-Angels
When we got to the new hideout, we found Kail and the Arch-Angels there.
"Why don't you say their names pal," Pinkie said.
"Who," I asked.
"He's writing this book," she said.
(Author talking)
Pinkie don't tell them that!!!!
"Okay," she said.
"What the fuck," I said.
"Don't try to understand Pinkie," Twilight said, "or your head will explode."
"I got the message," I said, feeling my head swelling, like it was going to explode, twice.
"Well," Kail said, "we need to form a plan."
"Yes," I said, "but we need to know, who is leading the demon army."
"I believe you," he said, gesturing to the ponies, "call him Discord."
"WHAT," Tia said, "how did he escape."
"Like always," someone said.
They turned and saw Discord.
The Death of Disharmony
"What the fuck is with you guys popping up out of nowhere," I said.
"We're good at it," he said.
"Yeah, fuck you too," I replied.
"No, now I'm going to kill you all."
"Good luck with that, no one is more powerful than the Arch-Angels."
"Well see about that," he said, teleporting us in the middle of the battlefield that used to be our home. I looked around at the ruble, ready to burst into flames from anger.
"What did you do to our home," I said, barely controlling my anger.
"Well," he started.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO!!!!"
"I destroyed it," he said.
"FUCK YOU, AND FUCK YOUR ARMY," I yelled, charging him.
"Go ahead and try," he said.
I ran up, shouting, "FOR OUR HOME," and sliced my two scythes at him, leaving a huge gash.
"WHAT, HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE," he yelled, clutching the gash.
"YOUR POWER IS GENERATED OFF OF CHOAS," I yelled, "BUT MY POWER IS FUELED BY ANGER, AND YOU'VE ROYALY PISSED ME OFF!!!!!"
"Nononononono," he said, "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
I ran up and sliced him in half, then kept cutting him til there was nothing left but guts and skin.
"Varis," Tia said, walking up to me, "He's dead, you can stop."
"…you're right," I said.
"We need to finish off the army," Kail said.
"I'll take care of them in 10 seconds flat," Rainbow said.
We ran at what was left of the army, which was standing there, looking at their dead leader. We cut and sliced while Rainbow shot missiles, and soon enough, the army returned to hell.
"We'll that was fun," I said.
"Hay yeah it was," Rainbow said.
"Well, lets not do it again," I replied.
"I agree," Tia said.
"Well," I said, "now we need to clean up the mess."
"Leave that to us," the Arch-Angels said.
They waved their hands and their whole bodies began to glow. Soon all the building had been restored.
Tia and Luna
"Well," I said, "it's good to be back in our own house."
"Yes it is," Tia said.
"Hey Luna, Tia," I said, "can you come with me a minute."
"Sure," they said, following me outside.
"Do you want to watch the sunset," I asked.
"Of course," they said with enthusiasm.
We sat there and watch the sunset. It was beautiful; purple, red, orange, all the colors you can imagine in a sunset.
"It's beautiful," Tia said.
"Yeah," Luna said, "it sure is."
After the sun had set and the moon had risen, we went back inside and went upstairs.
"Do you guys want to sleep with me," I asked.
"Yes," they replied in unison.
"Well come on," I said, "lets get in bed."
We got on the bed, and I found myself with their head on my chest and their hooves wrapped around me. I ran my fingers though their manes and behind their ears.
"I love you guys," I said.
"We love you too," they replied.
I continued to stroke their manes until they feel asleep on my chest. I laid my head back and fell asleep with my hands still stroking their manes.
When I woke up, I was relived to see they both still had their heads on my chest. I began to stroke their ears until they woke up.
"Good morning," I said.
"Good morning," Tia replied.
"It's morning already," Luna asked, looking around.
"Yep," a voice said from the door.
They turned to see…"Twilight," Tia said, "what are you doing here?"
"I came to see if it was true, and I guess it was."
"What," I said, irritated, "do you have a problem with dating the princesses?"
"No," she said, "I have a problem with you dating BOTH of the princesses."
"Why," Luna asked, "can't we both be happy?"
"I just don't think it's right for sisters to date the same po- I mean person."
"Well," I said, "I think you're mad because the princess spends more time with me than her prized student."
"Twilight, is that true," Tia asked, looking at her with concern.
She ran to the princess, "Yes it is, I just miss you so much, ever since you started dating him."
"Twilight," I said in a soothing voice, "I would never take your princess away from you."
"P-promise," she said.
"Pinkie Promise," I said.
"Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a cupcake in my e- OWW fuck that hurt," I said, pretending to poke myself in the eye.
They chuckled.
"Did someone say Pinkie Promise," Pinkie said, popping out from behind a lamp shade.
"Yes, I made a Pinkie Promise," I said.
She got right in my face and spoke in her VERY rarely used serious voice.
"You better not break that promise, because if you do, you'll regret it."
I put my hands up in surrender and she was back to her regular self, bouncing up and down on the ceiling.
"Twilight," Tia said, "you are still my prized student, it's just that he's my lover."
"I understand," she said.
"Good," Tia said, "now why don't we go train in the training grounds Hmm?"
"Okay," she said, "I'll go get ready."
She left the room and Tia got up and went to go get ready, so it was just me and Luna.
Pinkie where did you go now?
"Right here," she said.
Get out of their room, NOW!!!
"Okay," she said, "sheesh calm down."
Me and Luna just sat there, not wanting to move. Suddenly, Luna leaned over and kissed me. I returned the favor and kissed her back.
"I love you Varis," she said, pulling back.
"I love you too," I said.
I kissed her again and we sat there, just staring in each others eyes.
"You eyes are beautiful," I said.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes, it's like you can see all the knowledge of the night in those eyes."
"Thank you," she said.
"And your mane, it's like you have all of the stars in the night sky in your mane. Beautiful."
"You're to kind," she said.
"Well, I do love you don't I," I said.
"Well, I love you too," she replied.
"Good because I have something to give to you and your sister."
"Really," she said, amazed, "what is it."
"Wait until Tia gets back," I said.
"Fine," she said, grumbling to herself.
"I love you too," I said, smiling.
We went outside to see how Tia and Twilight were doing. They were pretty well matched, seeing how Twilight was using a Rapier and Tia was using an 8 foot scythe.
"Wow, they're pretty well match considering," I say to Luna.
"Yes they are."
"Think we should join in," I asked, a mischievous grin on my face.
"I think that would be fun," she said, drawing her scythes.
I readied my weapons and charged, shouting.
They turned with confused looks on their faces, which quickly turned to shock as me and Luna attacked.
I swung at Tia while Luna attacked Twilight. They blocked and we fought for what seemed like hours. Finally, I managed to get behind Tia with my blade to her throat.
"You have to expect anything," I whispered in her ear, "even when you are fighting someone."
"Well," she said as I let her go, "it's good to see you don't like to play fair."
"You think the enemies do," I said.
"I guess you got a point."
We went inside and talked about fighting techniques. When we were done Crystal walked in.
"Hey Crystal," I said, "what's up."
"I need to talk to you in private," she said.
I looked at Tia and Luna and nodded my head. They then walked out of the room.
"What did you wa-," I started, but was cut off when Crystal ran up and hugged me tightly.
"I love you Varis," she said.
"What," I said.
She pulled back, her eyes were tearing up.
"I love you," she said again.
"Why," I asked.
"Because, you showed me the first true friendship I've had since Tialmi," she said.
"I get that," I said, "but why me."
"Because Tia and Luna love you, and I think that if you can get them to love you, than you must be a great lover."
"Well, you got a point there," I said.
"I want to be loved again," she said, "I haven't felt true love since Tialmi died."
"Well, I think that is a good reason," someone said from behind us.
"Seriously, what the fuck is with you guys popping up behind me!?" I said.
"Sorry," Luna said.
"Well I think that if Crystal loves you, than that's fine with me," Tia said.
"Well that's good," I said, "because I love her just as much as you guys."
She squeed in joy like Luna did, and hugged me till my face was blue.
"Crystal, you're chocking him!"
"Ohh," she said.
I fell to the ground gasping for breath.
"Wow…that was one…tight hug," I said, still trying to catch my breath.
"Listen, Crystal," I said, looking at her, "I love you too."
We all somehow managed to sleep in the same bed that night.
"I love you," I said.
"I love you to," they said in unison.
I smiled. I stroked their manes until we fell asleep.
In the morning I looked down too find that Luna wasn't there.
"I bet she's already up," I thought.
I woke up Crystal and Tia and told them what I found.
"Well, lets go see if she is downstairs," Tia said.
We walked downstairs, only to find that Luna wasn't there and the moon was still up.
"What time is it," I said, completely calm.
"About 11:00, why."
"Well, either the earth stop spinning, or Nightmare Moon is back," I said, pointing outside.
"No," Tia said.
"We have to stop her," Crystal said.
We ran outside to find Nightmare Moon standing there.
"NIGHTMARE!!!" I shouted.
"Yes," she said in her creepy voice.
"What have you done to Luna."
"Why, I've taken over her body again, and now there shall be eternal night."
"Really," I said sarcastically.
"What," she asked.
"That's the best you can come up with."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you're Nightmare Moon, you should be able to come up with something better than eternal night," I said.
"And furthermore, why do you want eternal night?"
"Because," she said, getting angry, "everypony shuns and sleeps through my beautiful night."
"No," I said, "Do you have any idea how many people and ponies sleep through the day, just to stay up all night to look at your beautiful stars and just stare at the wonderful moon?"
"What," she said, "I had no idea that ponies did that."
"Do you want to know how many people do that?"
"Yes I do," she said.
"Just under 5 billion do."
Her jaw landed on the ground, along with everybody else's.
"You see, people and ponies love to watch your night," I said, "it's just that a lot of people and ponies have to work all day, so they come home tired and just NEED sleep."
"I see," she said, "I'm sorry everypony, I had no idea that ponies or people did that."
"Now Nightmare, will you release Luna?"
"Yes, again I am so sorry," she said, crying.
I walked up to her and put my arms around her.
"Listen to me," I said, "you were just jealous that people slept through your night, but how many do you think have the time to stare at the sun all day."
"Not a lot," she said, calming down.
"That's right, and if they did, they would probably go blind."
She giggled.
"Thank you Varis," she said, "I hope to see you again sometime."
"Well, next time under better circumstances," I said, chuckling.
Suddenly, a blue mist lifted off of Luna and flew away. I waved at it, and it formed what looked like a hand and waved back before disappearing.
Luna was just waking up when I looked back.
"Luna," I said, "are you OK?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Good. Well, did you hear what I said?"
"Yes I did," she said.
"Well, why don't we go inside for some breakfast?"
"OK," they said.
When Tia and Crystal were inside, I stop Luna to talk to her.
"Luna," I said, "why did you give in to Nightmare again?"
"Because," she said, "…you know what, just forget it."
"No Luna," I said, "you need to tell me why."
"FINE," she said, "I did it because you love Tia more than me." She broke down into tears.
I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her neck, lifted her head up, and kissed her.
"Luna, if I loved anypony more than the others, it would be you."
She just sat there.
"I love you just as much as Tia or Crystal," I said.
She smiled, "But why?"
I leaned closer and nuzzled her cheek with mine.
"Because," I whispered in her ear, "You are all unique."
She pulled her head back and kissed me.
She started crying again.
"I love you Varis," she said.
"I love you too," I said.
We went inside after she had calmed down and saw that Tia and Crystal had already made breakfast.
"What's the occasion," I asked.
"Well, we're celebrating the fact that Nightmare has turned good."
"OK," I said.
We ate our breakfast and by then everyone else had woken up. After everyone else had eaten, we decided to spar as teams.
"Alright, how about we spar," I suggested.
"I'm in," Rainbow said.
"Me too."
"Us too," Tyleia said.
"Good," I said. "Now why don't we get in teams of 6?"
"OK," they said.
"Good," I said, "I'll go with Tia, Luna, Crystal, and Twilight."
We went outside and took up our stances. Baalasir and Rainbow charged. Rainbow attack me while Baalasir attacked Crystal. I block Rainbow's sword and attack back. She shot up in the air and attempted to shoot at me, but I grabbed her legs as she took off and yanked her back down. I jumped over her and ran at Rarity. I swung at her, but she blocked it. I retaliated by swinging at her leg, then changed directions and swung at her head. She saw this however, and blocked my scythe. She then retaliated by swinging at my legs. I dodged and got behind her and pinned her to the ground.
"Rarity's out," I say.
"Now my coat's all dirty," she whined as I ran to take down Baalasir, who was fighting Luna.
I ran up behind him and tackled him to the ground with my blade at his throat.
"Baalasir is down."
Tia was fighting Tyleia and did a miniver I hadn't see in 500 years, literally.
Tia brought her sword across Tyleia's legs as if she was taking her out. Tyleia attempted to jump over it, but then Tia brought her blade up and knocked her feet out from under her.
"Tyleia is down," she said.
By now it was just Pinkie, Applejack, and Osric. Tia, Luna, Crystal, and I ran at them (Twilight had been taken down along with Rainbow). Then I did something that I hadn't done in years, I jumped over them and tackled Applejack from behind, then took Osric down by swiping his legs out from under him. Luna and Tia were having trouble with Pinkie(anypony surprised?), so I ran over and knocked Pinkie to the ground.
"Tia, Luna, Twilight, Crystal, and Varis win," Pinkie said.
"Tia," I said, getting up, "can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Yes."
We walked out into the forest.
"Tia," I said, "where did you learn that move that you used on Tyleia?
"I don't know, it just felt natural."
"Okay," I said.
"Hey," she said, "do you want to talk to Luna and Crystal too?"
"Actually, I would like to go to Equestria and explore, since the last two times were cut short."
Alicorn Form
"Well, get pack up then," she said.
"Great, and Luna and Crystal would like to come to," I said.
"Alright," she said, "I love you."
"Love you too," I said.
I went inside and got packed saying that we'll be gone for a couple years earth time.
"Tia, you ready," I asked.
"Yeah," she said.
She teleported us to Equestria.
"Hey Tia," I said when we got there, "do you think you l can turn me into a pony to keep from arousing unwanted attention?"
"Well, I'm not sure what type of pony you'll be."
"Only one way to find out of course," I said.
"Very well," she said.
She charged up the right spell and shot a bolt of magic at me. I felt my body changing, my arms and legs shifting, face getting longer, the whole deal. Suddenly I grew wings on my back, but once the magic hit my head… I grew a HORN too!!! I had a red coat and a orange mane that looked like flowing fire. My wings looked like an angle's wings.
"I'm an alicorn," I said.
"Amazing," was all Tia, Luna, and Crystal could say.
"Well, can I change back to my human form at will," I asked.
"Yes."
"Good," I said, "Well, I'll go explore Canterlot and then Ponyville."
He's Alive
I flew off to explore, leaving Tia, Luna, and Crystal to find out what just happened.
I was exploring Canterlot on fo- err hoof. After awhile I was being noticed by a lot of ponies that were just staring at me.
I decided that enough was enough and flew off to Ponyville. Once I got there, I turned back into a human and stayed in the shadows. Suddenly, I was tackled by a very famous mint-green unicorn.
"SHIT!!!!" I yelled, shoving the mint-green pony off me and ran I the opposite direction.
"Wait," she yelled.
"NO WAY LYRA!!!" I yelled back.
I kept running until I ran into another……"HUMAN!!!"
"Who are you," he asked, getting up.
"I should ask you the same question," I replied.
"I am Giovanni," he said.
I just stood there, shocked. "Could this be my brother," I thought.
"And who are you," he ask.
"It's me, Varis."
"Varis…is it really you?"
I ran over and gave him a brotherly hug.
"What happened to you, you vanished before you died."
"Celestia brought me here."
"Well, mom didn't make it," I said.
"I can't believe you're alive," he said.
My eyes widen, "That reminds me, Tia thinks you're dead!!!"
"What?!?!"
"Come with me, I'll take you to her," I said.
I turned into my alicorn form and told him to get on.
"How can you turn into an alicorn?!"
"I'll explain later," I said.
I flew us to Canterlot castle, and told Giovanni too hide while I got Tia.
"Tia," I said, walking into the throne room.
"Yes?"
"Come with me, I need to show you something, you too Luna."
I walked them outside where Giovanni was hiding.
While I was talking to them, Giovanni snuck up on them. Suddenly, he tackled both of them; only to be pushed off by a bolt of magic.
"It's good to see you still got it Tia," Giovanni said.
Tia and Luna eyes widen and they turned and tackled him to the ground, hugging him to death, literally.
"Tia," I said, chuckling, "he can't breath."
"I can't believe you're alive," they said.
"What do you mean, I've just been gone."
"But," Luna said, "We saw Discord with your head in his hands!"
"Ohh, that," he said looking at Tia, "that wasn't me, it was our son."
"What," Tia said.
"Yes, he killed our son."
Tia looked heartbroken.
"Why would he do that?"
"Because he couldn't kill me so he killed him instead. I tried to save him but I was to late. I'm so sorry Tia."
She and Giovanni were crying. I, on the other hand, was furious that Discord would do such a thing. That was a new low even for him.
I was still in my alicorn form, so my orange mane was flashing; turning into real flames and then changing back to its original color. The ground around me was shaking like there was an earthquake.
Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me say, "Varis, please calm down." It was Crystal.
I calmed down instantly.
"Thank you Crystal," I said, walking over to her and giving her a hug. She hugged back.
"There was nothing you can do," she said.
"You're right."
Suddenly I heard a voice that made all my anger come back.
"Well, isn't that touching," Discord said.
FUCK YOU DISCORD
"I'm not even going to bother trying to reason with you, I'm just going to KILL YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!!!" As I said those final words, my mane burst into flames and lightning hit the ground around me.
"What is going on?!?!" He yelled.
"I'm gonna go super-sayian pony on your bitch ass!!!!"
With that I shot a bolt of magic at him so powerful; that when he tried to dodge it and hit his arm, there was nothing but a stump.
"AAAAARRRRGGGG!!!!"
"Tia, Luna, Crystal," I said, "I need you to give me as much of your power as you possibly can!!"
"Alright," they said, and transferred as much of their power as they could.
"Urg," I mumbled. It was so much power, I could barely control it.
I started to rise off the ground, charging up such a powerful spell that shook Equestria to its very core. This spell was meant to banish Discord to hell forever while taking all of his power so he had absolutely no chance of escaping.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO," he yelled as the spell hit him.
As soon as the spell ended, I fell to the ground, unconscious.
"What Happened?"
I woke up on a very uncomfortable bed. I opened my eyes and looked around the room. Tia, Luna, and Crystal were sleeping on my chest while Giovanni was looking at something in his hands.
I stroked my fingers through their manes until they woke up.
As soon as they saw me awake, I immediately wish I hadn't woke them, because they were hugging the life out of me.
"Guys…can't…breath," I managed to choke out.
They released their death grip and I just sat there, gasping for breath.
"It's good to see you finally awake," Tia said, "you've been out for 2 weeks."
My jaw dropped.
"We need to get back to earth NOW," I said.
"Why," Giovanni asked.
"Because on earth we've been gone for 14 YEARS!!!!"
"Holy shit," he said.
Tia got my things (which were still in the castle) and teleported us home.
I was still in my alicorn form for some reason, so we ended up I front of everyone and everypony siting in the living room of our house.
"Where have you been and who the fuck is that," Baalasir said.
I was standing, so I changed back into my human form.
"It's me Baalasir," I said.
"How can you turn into an alicorn at will," Twilight asked.
"I don't know, but that's not important," I said, "What IS important is that we stop the demons from destroying the world, again."
As soon as I said this, a huge explosion sounded from outside and we ran out to see who we never should have saw again.
"It's good to be back."

Discord's Return
(Author talking)
Listen Varis, you are going to die here after you kill Discord, but I will make sure that you come back.
"Who said that," I said, looking around.
Someone you will meet very soon.
Suddenly, the presence vanished.
I shrugged it off and turned into my alicorn form.
"I banished you once Discord, and I'll do it again."
"Good luck with that," he said.
I ran at him, and suddenly changed back into my human form with my scythes drawn. I swung at him and left a gash on his chest. I put mine, Tia's, Luna's, and Crystal's magic into my scythes and ran at him again. This time I jumped at him and tackled him to the ground and drove both of my scythes into his chest and ripped it open. He screamed and died.
I stood up and looked around. The overuse of magic had been to great and I fell to the ground, dead. But before I died I said, "I'm sorry Tia." And with those final words, I died.
The Afterlife
(Author talking)
Varis, it's good to see you
I stood up and saw a figure standing in front of me.
"What do you mean," I asked.
Well, you've been here ever since you killed Discord for good. Don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't come back.
"How," I asked.
Well, I am the author of this book, so I know want happens.
"This guy is nuts," I thought to myself.
I knew you were going to say that. Anyway, you've been dead for far too long now.
"What do you mean dead," I said.
You died killing Discord. The amount of magic you used proved to be to great for your body to handle.
"How long have I been dead," I asked, worried.
About 15 years.
"FUCK ME," I yelled.
Don't worry, I'm bringing you back to life right now.
"Wait, will I see you again?"
Probably not, but you will hear from me. Are you ready?
"Yes."
Good. Well, I'll talk to you soon Varis, so for now, bye.
Reborn
I suddenly woke up in an enclosed space. I felt around to see I was in what felt like a wooden box. I punched the top and broke though. I dug my way up and found that I was 6 feet underground.
"Oh yeah, I died."
I saw that I was in the same cemetery my mother was buried in. I turned my head to look at the tombstone that was next to mine. On it read "Here lays the body of Marline R.I.P"
"I love you mom," I said out loud.
I knew how to get home from there, so I turned into an alicorn, which I didn't know if I could do, and took off in the direction of home.
I was half way there when I spotted a black griffin flying around. It was KAASTEEL!!!
I decided to fly above him and turned back into a human. I landed on him, wrapping my arms around him. He immediately knew who it was.
"VARIS," he yelled, "how are you alive?"
"Does it matter, we're together again after so long."
He cawed and I told him to be quiet because the others didn't know I was alive. I turned back into Fiery Pain (the name I decided to call myself when an alicorn) and went to my old home. I landed in the forest while Kaasteel went to his sleeping area to pretend he was sleeping. I used my magic to change my self into a completely different person.
I nodded to Kaasteel who nodded back.
I changed out of the forest and attack Kaasteel. He cawed as loud as he could, and I covered my ears in pain. As I expected, Tia, Luna, and Crystal ran out to help the last thing they had to remember me. They attack. I dodged Tia's scythe and yanked it out of her grip and threw it as far as I could. Luna was next to attack. She attempted to take out my legs, but I jumped up and landed behind her. I had no intention to hurt them, so I took her legs out. I turned to see Crystal running at me. I dodged her attack and put my blade to her throat.
"I see you can still fight," I said.
"WHO ARE YOU," Tia yelled.
I put my weapons away and vanished.
"WHERE DID YOU GO," she yelled looking around.
"Behind you," I said.
She turned to see me jump at her. She fell back and was on the ground with my blade at her throat. Luna and Crystal tried to run at me, but stopped when I pushed the blade closer to Tia's neck saying, "Come any closer and she dies."
"WHO ARE YOU," Tia yelled again.
"Really," I said, "you haven't figured it out yet Tia?"
She looked at me with a confused but still really pissed off face.
"NO I HAVEN'T, NOW TELL ME WHO YOU ARE, OR I'LL FORCE YOU TOO TELL ME."
I chuckled and put my scythes away.
"Stand up and I'll show you who I am," I said.
I stood there for awhile before smiling and transforming into my original appearance.
"Now do you recognize me?"
They just stood there before tackling me and hugged and kissed me until I couldn't breath anymore. They finally got off of me and I stood up only to have three hooves hit me in the face.
"Oww,…The fuck was that for," I said, rubbing my face.
"That was for attacking us," Tia said, before kissing me on the lips. It had been so long since I felt her amazing lips against mine.
"And that was for coming back to us," she said.
Luna and Crystal walked up and hugged me, a lot more gentle, and kissed me on the lips too.
"D'awwwww, I love you girls," I said, stroking their manes.
"We love you too," they said.
"Where are the others," I asked.
"We don't know. After you died, they left and went their separate ways."
"We have too find them," I said. They nodded in agreement.
Fighting the Team
Tia telekinetically told me that everyone was at the house so I teleported to them and they walked to the house. Once we got there Tia, Luna, and Crystal went inside to get them while I changed my appearance. When everyone was outside, I ran out of hiding and pretended to take the princesses down. They yelled. I turned and saw that Twilight's hair was on fire. "Ohh SHIT," I thought to myself as I was now under the on-slot of bolts of very powerful magic. Tia opened one eye and I saw she was worried that Twilight might take it too far. I shook my head. I dove behind cover and when there was a pause in the firing I stood up and cast a spell that didn't allow Twilight to use magic at all. "One down, 1, 2, 3,… 9 left…I'm fucked." Next Baalasir ran up and attacked me. I dodged his attack and knocked his sword out of his hands and cast a paralyze spell on him. Then Rainbow fired at me with 3 rockets at me. I rose my hand Yugioh style and cast a shield around me. When the dust cleared I was still standing there. I jumped at Rainbow and tackled her to the ground. She was knocked unconscious. Then Fluttershy and Applejack attacked. I dodged Shy's attack and went too attack her, but she had already fainted. So I turned too see Applejack try and shoot me. I threw my shield up and ran at her and took her down. Rarity and Pinkie attacked next. I immediately took Rarity down by just throwing dirt at her. But Pinkie attacked me, so I rolled behind her and knocked her out. Finally, it was me against Tyleia, Osric, and Giovanni. Osric, being the warrior he is, attacked. I dodged him and took him down by knocking his sword out of his hand and paralyzing him.
"WHO ARE YOU," Tyleia yelled.
I chuckled and vanished.
"WHERE DID YOU GO," she yelled.
"Right here," I said and knocked her out.
"WHO ARE YOU," Giovanni yelled.
I ran at Giovanni and tackled him to the ground. Then I got up and changed back to myself. Pinkie somehow was the first to notice it was me and tackled me to the ground.
"Ican'tbelieveyou'realiveihavetothrowyoua'welcomebackfromethedead'par-" I cut her short by covering her mouth with my hands.
"Pinkie, shut it."
After everyone calmed down, we went inside and I had them explain everything.
"You realize that I attacked you not only to surprise you, but because I was pissed that you would even think about separating," I said.
"We had to because we had no one to lead us," Twilight said.
"That is no excuse," I said, getting angry, "You should have never separated."
After I was done scolding them, we went to bed. Tia, Luna, and Crystal slept with me.
I was stroking their manes when it happened.
Somehow Nightmare had formed a physical body, and had teleported right into the bedroom.
Pony #4
"NIGHTMARE," Luna and Tia said.
"Tia," I said, "calm down, she just wants to talk."
"How did you know," Nightmare asked.
I told him.
"Who said that," Nightmare asked.
"You don't want to know."
"Well, you are right, I do want to talk to you, alone."
Tia, Luna, and Crystal looked at me with worried expressions.
"It's alright," I said, "We won't be gone long."
I changed into Fire and teleported me and Nightmare into the forest.
"How did you do that," she asked.
"What do you mean?"
"You're an alicorn, but how?"
"Well," I said, "It turns out that my mother was an alicorn before she was turned human for doing something horrible."
"What did she do," Nightmare asked.
"I don't know."
We just sat there for a few moments, until I asked, "What did you want to talk about, Nightmare?"
"Please, call me Blue Night."
"Okay Blue, what did you want to talk about?" For some reason I knew what was coming.
"I…need your help."
This caught me completely off guard, "With what?"
"Well, I…need to be shown true love before I can be turned completely good," she said.
"What do you mean 'true love'," I asked.
"I need a true lover to be set free from this curse."
"OK," I said, "What do you want me to do?"
"I need you to set me free."
"Soo," I said, "You need me too love you, right?"
"Yes," she said, sadly.
Suddenly, I walked over and put my hooves around her neck and hugged her tightly.
"I can never let a friend cry, feel sad, feel left out, anything like that would probably kill me."
She started to change, just like Crystalis did, and she became a beautiful alicorn with a dark blue coat and an beautifully purple shaded mane. She looked a lot like Luna's filly appearance with a darker coat.
"You look so beautiful," I said.
"Thank you, you have shown me true love."
"I'm always there for a friend," I said, "Come on, lets head back to the house unless you want too look at the beautiful night sky?"
"I would like to watch the night sky," she said.
"Okay, I'll be back in a minute." I teleported back into the room, and grabbed some sleeping bags and binoculars.
"What are you doing," Tia asked.
"I'm going to stay with Blue Night tonight," I said blankly.
"Who is that?"
"It's Nightmare's true form."
"What," they yelled.
"Look; I don't have time to explain, so I'll tell you in the morning." And with that I teleported back to Blue.
"You didn't need to stay with me," she said.
"Yes I did, because I'm not going to let you feel left out."
I pulled out the two sleeping bags and rolled them out with my magic (I think I might just stay as Fire unless I'm stroking my marefriends' manes, or if I'm fighting with my scythes).
I changed into a human and got into mine and Blue got into hers. Then we just laid there watching the night sky. Suddenly, I felt a warmth rest on my chest. I looked down and saw Blue's head resting there. I stroke her mane just like I do to the others.
"I love you Varis," she said.
"I love you too," I replied.
She nuzzled my cheek with hers and fell fast asleep with her head on my chest. I fell asleep a few minutes later.
I woke to the sound of leaves rustling. I looked down to see that Blue was still fast asleep, so it wasn't her making the noise. So what was it? I got up somehow without waking Blue and drew my scythes. I stood there, waiting for something to happened, when it did.
Kail walked out of the bush and looked at me with a worried look on his face.
Fleshripper
"Holy shit, what's wrong Kail," I asked, worried at what could possibly scare him.
"It's Leo, he's turned evil."
I knew who Leo was and it was not good if he's turned evil. I woke Blue and we ran as fast as we could to the house.
"There you are, whe- Kail what are you doing here," Tyleia asked.
"It's Leo, he's been corrupted."
Tyleia started crying.
"Tyleia, who is Leo," Tia asked.
Tyleia told the tale of Leo Fleshripper.
"So yeah, he was one of the best fighters I ever seen," Kail said.
We went outside and I got on Kaasteel while Baalasir got on Varis.
"I will lead you to where he is," Kail said, "but you cannot fight him, he is too strong, so I need you too keep the other enemies occupied."
We followed Kail to where Fleshripper was, and were horrified by what we saw.
The Death
We saw Fleshripper with a very deadly looking axe in his hands. Kail ran up and attacked Fleshripper while the rest of us attacked the demons. We had managed to kill all the demons and saw that Kail was having a hard time with Fleshripper. Suddenly, Giovanni ran up to Fleshripper.
"Giovanni, NOOOOOOOO," Tia said.
"It's alright," was all he said before he dove at Fleshripper and Kail stabbed Fleshripper in the chest, going right through Giovanni.
"Why," Tia said, crying, "why did you have too do that?"
I walked over to Tia and hugged her tightly.
"He's always been like that Tia," I said.
She nodded her head, understanding.
"We have too get home," Luna said.
"Yes," I said, "lets go home."
We went home and went right to bed, as we were tired from the fighting. Tia, Luna, Crystal, and now Blue, rested their heads on my chest (somehow).
"I love you guys," I said, stroking their manes one at a time.
"We love you too," they said.
Goodbye
Tia, Luna, Crystal, Blue, and I were walking through the forest.
"Hey girls," I said.
"Yes."
"Would you like a vacation to Equestria," I asked.
"Why, we would love too," Tia said.
"Alright, I'll go get packed and tell the others we will be gone for a while."
I was Fire, so I teleported to our house and grabbed some cloths, and told everyone we would be gone for a while. Once I got everything, I teleported back to Tia and sent us to Equestria.
"It's beautiful," Blue and Crystal said, "I can't believe that I tried to destroy this place."
We walked to the castle and just walked around and talked to each other. Suddenly, the wall next to us exploded and griffins filled the castle. We drew our weapons and charged. We managed to hold them off until the guards showed up.
"Shining, help," Tia said.
Shining ran over and killed the griffin on top of Tia.
"Thank you," she said.
Suddenly, a giant griffin appeared and tackled me to the ground.
"Get the fuck OFF OF ME!!!" I yelled at him.
I pushed him off and stabbed at him. He dodged but the blade hit his foot. He screamed and swung at me. I ducked and cut his leg off. I ran up his leg and stabbed him in the throat, but as he died, I felt a sword go through my back.
I looked down to see that the griffin had managed to pull out a sword and stab me.
I fell to the ground. Tia and the others ran to try and help me, but it was too late.
I turned to look at Tia and said, "I'm sorry." And with that I died.
