Her Knight in Dark Armorby Onyxfire408ChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 7Chapter 1Author's Note Clop will occur much later in the story, and only for one scene. Chapter 1 Chapter 1: The Master Story and Plot by : ME :D "Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my GOSH!!!" Twilight Sparkle, was galloping around the library, she was unprepared which was rare and was going insane, which was common. She kept sweeping around her library while putting away books, she was going to have a very special guest. "Spike hurry! Princess Luna is coming, we need to have this place in tip top shape before she gets here." Spike moaned. "Twilight the place is fine, Princess Luna probably won't even care." "She is royalty Spike." "Well she probably doesn't even care, she probably hates royalty." There was a knocking at the door, Spike walked towards the door, he opened it and standing at the door was a dark blue coated alicorn with a star light like flowing mane. "Hiya princess." announced Spike. Twilight's ears perked up as she heard Luna's name, she gave out a quick "eep" and quickly hid under her table. "Twilight Sparkle." A majestic voice called out to her. "I understand from sir Spike her that you are frightened are you not?" Twilight Sparkle appeared from under her table. "Yes princess, I am truly sorry." "Oh Twilight Sparkle, just call me Luna, I do despise the royalty once in a while." "Oh okay princess. I-I- mean Luna. Thank you Luna." The 2 ponies chatted and drank tea almost all throughout Luna's night. Twilight and Luna were also reading books, any book when it came to Daring Do, to the Da Filly code, even to the Coltfather. Twilight also had an opportunity she pulled out an old dusty book, she blew off the durst, it was titled The History Of Humans. "Luna, I wanted to discuss this book about you, I have been quite curious about what humans are, can you help me prin-eh...Luna?" "Why I would be glad to Twilight Sparkle, though my memory is quite foggy, me and my sister were only fillies after my mother and father decided to separate." "Wow, why did they separate?" "Well humans were growing in an vast speed, they had a much bigger population, they were actually believe it or not the ones who created the statue of Liberfilly, the statue in Manehatten. Due to their growth rate my parents and the human leaders who they refer to as the Gods both agreed to create and have new worlds. From what I heard from my sister, They call their world Earth, they are also more advance in technology as well, though I wouldn't care much if you ask me. We even have some technology we use today, such as the train, and the airship." "That is amazing princess, what do they look like?" "From what I remember, they almost resemble a monkey, but they have no tail and almost no fur. They stand with two legs, and have two arms, much like a dragon but they do not fly. They also have hair like us but in less colorful colors, some have red, brown, blonde, and black hair. But that is all of what I know Twilight Sparkle." "That's okay Luna, I think I have what I need to know." "Well you are quite welcome Twilight Sparkle, but I do apologize but I must depart, I must go to Canterlot and get ready to lower my moon for Celestia." "Yes I understand, safe travels Luna." Luna and Twilight had both said their goodbyes and Luna departed for Canterlot, she sprung out her wings and took to the midnight skies as she flew towards Canterlot. She majestically flew over the fields of the Everfree forest and past the plains of Equestria. As she flew around Equestria, she saw something......strange on the ground. She landed herself on the ground and found a small shiny blue hole on the ground. "What pray tell is this? Is this some kind of portal, I think I can see through it." Luna reached her hoof out for the small portal, as soon as she made contact a bright flash appeared and as if a pegasus was pulling a prank, wind was pulling Luna into the portal, the portal expanded as she was getting closer. Luna didn't have much strength and was sucked inside the portal, she was gone. -------------------- Crescent, your normal average humanoid guy, wasn't as normal as you might think. Crescent was a hardcore fan with Assassin's creed, he had obtained all of the costumes, including ones he paid a fortune for, and had also obtained some weapons, such as Altiar's sword, the hidden blade, as well as Connor's tomahawk. He was almost dedicated to the what they call order, he practiced parkour, he climbed the highest of heights and even dived from a scary height, he was indeed hardcore. He had always loved the night, he always practiced his parkour in the night because of 3 reasons, one he is hidden in the darkness, two he can't get in trouble, and tree he wanted to enjoy the moon up in space. He always felt like the moon and him had a special connection, emphasis on his name being Crescent, he loved the crescent shape of the moon. He was traveling from rooftop to rooftop wearing his own version of an assassin uniform, a black and red accent hoodie with custom settings. Crescent was running along until he reached his local park, he rested on the bench and reached out for the water fountain. He walked towards the grass and rested his back on it catching a breath until he can parkour back home. Suddenly, a loud crash caught his attention, Crescent rose up and looked around, and found a massive crater and a few tumbled trees. Crescent quickly ran towards the crater, in the middle lied a dark blue pony with wings, a horn, and a blue mane. Crescent was extremely confused, he slowly walked towards the pony, he examined the body, he found a few cuts and scrapes, he took the pony and carried it back to his house. "What the hell is going on?" Crescent thought to himself. -------------------- Luna had regained consciousness, she felt very comfortable for what she was laying on, she slowly opened her eyes and found herself on a soft bed. She looked around and what looked to be someone's home, she looked at her wing which had a few bandages and her hind leg was bandaged as well. A door inside Luna's room slowly opened, what walked inside was something really familiar to her, standing in front of her was a human, she thought she was going insane but it was all real. "Oh your awake." the human spoke. "Y-Yes, are you a human?" "GUWAAA! Y-Y-YOU SPOKE!?" "Why yes, does that frighten you?" "Well, kinda, but it's also amazing! I can't believe it! But right now, you need some food." Crescent said as he brought out a salad, and some apple, and orange slices. "Here, this should do after being unconscious for 5 days. Names Crescent by the way, and I'm a parkourist, whats yours? "My name is Luna, and I'm a princess." "Ah, so Princess Luna," "Please just Luna."Luna interrupted. "Alright then Luna, where are you from?" "Equestria." "Equestria? Well that, I could kind of believe, but will you ever go back to your own world?" "Well If i can find that small portal, yes, but I must take a few days to recover my magic." "Magic? Wait, What? There's magic in your world, like fairy tales or something?" "Yes, allow me to demonstrate." Luna lit up her horn she levitated a fork and stuck in in her salad, levitating the salad in her mouth to eat." Like so." "That's amazing." Luna blushed, she had no idea that humans could be so fun. "Y-Yes it is. Crescent tell me, what do you do for a living?" "Me? I do parkour shows." "Parkour? What is this parkour?" "It's like the ability to climb anything, to travel by heights, not flying but by climbing, I can show you outside if you want." "But why in the dark? Don't you like the night?" "No I don't like it," Luna heart sank when he said that. "I LOVE IT!" Crescent declared as Luna's heart grew 3 times that night, she gave a deep blush and tried to hide it from Crescent. "You, you like my night?" "YEA.....wait, your night? What are you the moon?" "Well no, In Equestria, My sister Celestia and I control the Sun and Moon, she controls the sun while I control the moon. Does anyone control the sun and moon in your world?" "Well not really, they move by themselves, it's all about like rotation and gravity, along with the atmosphere and something like that." "Very interesting." Luna had finished her food, Crescent put away the dishes and led Luna outside. "Alright, first thing's first we need to get to the roof." Crescent ran towards his wall and ran up the wall grabbing it's ledge and pulled himself up. Luna gazed upon him in impressiveness, nopony could ever climb like that. "That's just one of the basics of parkour. Now lend me your hand er...hoof, I'll pull you up." Luna did as he commanded she jumped up and Crescent grabbed one of her hooves, Luna had a small blush on her face, she hope Crescent didn't see that. Crescent pulled her up to his roof. "Ok, This is where the real parkour begins, see those other houses, I'm gonna travel by rooftops, as well as that two story house, I'm going to climb to it's roof, wanna watch?" Luna nodded, Crescent stood in position he sprinted towards the edge of his house, Luna thought he was crazy as he saw Crescent jump off his house. Luna was amazed at Crescent's skill, he jumped from roof top to roof top, off enough how he rolled once he touched the roof, he had approached the two story house, he had told Luna he would reached the top. Crescent jumped off the last rooftop, he gripped at a nearby crack in the wall, he slowly climbed up grabbing anything he could get a grip on. Luna was amused at how he had such strength, she couldn't remember humans doing this. After Crescent's climbing he had reached the roof top, he stood atop the roof, he looked over to Luna and waved his hand in hello to Luna, she did the same with her hoof. Crescent traveled back all the way to Luna, as he reached his way home, he lied down on his roof. He led out a loud breather, he was almost exhausted from his training. "Crescent, are you okay? And also, where did you learn this ability?" "Well first of all, yes just a little tired, and second, I was inspired from a video game series I always play." "Video games? Has human technology evolved over these years." "What do you mean evolved?" "Well thousands of years ago in Equestria, when I was just a filly, humans used to live in my world of Equestria, though due to their massive life span, my parents who were the rulers of Equestria and the human leaders agreed to live separately. We haven't seen any humans after thousands of years, even after my parent's deaths I would still miss the humans, until you found me." "Wow, that's quite the story, and I sorry for your loss." Crescent drooped his head down in apology "No it's okay, it's not your fault, at least they died in peace. I got over their death in a few thousand years. Crescent, is it true that you love the night?" "Yep, I just love it, I can't explain why, I especially love it when a crescent moon comes out, I just feel like it's speaking out to me. I also love those stars out there, I feel like it's the heavens watching me, especially my parents and siblings." "Oh are they..." "Yes." He said in a flat tone. "Dead, my parents died like yours, peacefully, and my brother and sister, both in an accident, their train crashed." He muttered as his head dropped down in depression. "Oh, I'm sorry for your loss."Luna wrapped her hoof around Crescent's neck to comfort him, she gave a small grin as she lied her head on his arm. "No, it's okay. And thanks Luna, I appreciate it." The two went back inside Crescent's home, he have Luna a tour around his home. "A beautiful home." Luna announced, Crescent led Luna into his guest room, he readied her a bed and room. "Crescent" Crescent turned his head facing Luna. "Yes?" "What is a video game?" "Well...uh... I can try to explain it, but electronics is not really my thing, but I can try. Video games are like games controlled by small fingers. You can do almost thousands of things with just a pair of hands, there are many different games out there, horror, role playing games, first person, violent, even puzzle games. But the game I play most, is Assassin's creed." "Assassin's Creed? is that the game that inspired you to do parkour?" "Yes, would you like me to show you?" "Yes that would be lovely." Crescent led Luna into what he called a "Tribute room", it had everything an Assassin's Creed fan could imagine. It had replicas of the game's weapons like Altiar's sword and Connor's tomahawk, and of course the famous hidden blade. He even had constumes, such as the AC Brotherhood costume, Altiar's costume, Connor's costume, and his favorite, the Colonial assassin costume from AC 3. He turned on what he called an "Xbox 360" and showed Luna. She was amazed at how a video game works. Crescent showed her all kinds of Assassin's Creed games, from the first to the third. She was amazed at the what they call "Assassin's" skill, of climbing, stealth, and killing. Though Luna didn't like the killing part. After a few hours of gaming, Crescent decided to call it a night and get some sleep. Luna's leg was a little stiff so Crescent offered his help, he carried her to the guest room. Luna blushed as Crescent carried her to her room, her heart felt a beat, was she attracted to Crescent? He was everything she wanted with a stallion, kind, loving, caring, and he loved the night and the moon, but he was a human. Not only did Luna's heart beat, but Crescent's too. Crescent lied Luna down on her bed and tucked her in. "Well, goodnight Luna, if you need anything don't hesitate to call me." Crescent immediately turned to leave but was stopped. "Wait!" Luna barked "Hm? What is it?" "....Um...Nothing..." The alicorn concluded as she retreated back behind her sheets. "Well okay then, goodnight Luna." The human said as he turned off the lights and left the room only leaving Luna sobbing behind her sheets. What are you thinking Luna? He's just a human! There is no way that Celestia would approve of me liking him! She screamed to herself as she rested her face on the pillow and continued to sob quietly. Crescent walked inside his tribute room as he pulled out his Iphone. He looked at the time to still find it past midnight. "Well, I don't got work tomorrow soo....." He eyeballed over to his "Tribute Room" as he walked inside and inserted Assassin's Creed II inside his console. He played for about an hour as he found it was two in the morning. Crescent quickly saved his game and turned off his Xbox. He walked down the hallway as he noticed Luna's door was peaked open. "Is Luna awake?" He whispered to himself as he looked inside, Luna was sleeping peacefully on the bed, he could see a small puddle of wet fabric on her pillow. "Is that drool? Ughh..... well can't be helped." He said to himself as he fully closed the door and walked inside his room. He changed his clothes into something more light and comfortable as he laid back on his bed and gave a heavy sigh. WOH! What a day. Whad'ya mean? First, a magical pony pops outa nowhere, she's a princess, and she can talk. Watcha gonna do? Keep her as a pet? No... that's not right, not even close to what I'm gonna do. What? I'm gonna help her go back home. He concluded with himself as he closed his eyes and fell to a slumber. Meanwhile inside of Luna's room, Luna quickly shot open as Crescent closed her door. She shun her horn as her window opened, she limped towards the window as she gazed outside, she looked at the stars which were in different constellations, and the moon, it wasn't her moon. "So is this Earth? Where everything moves by themselves?" She looked at the crescent moon and gave it a long stare, it was sleek, but not full, it was different, but not new, it was crescent, like a C. "It's different from the others, not full, but a little counts, I think I can see why Crescent loves the crescent moon." Luna concluded as she smiled at the thought, she limped back to her bed as she levitated her sheets to tuck herself in. She slowly closed her eyes as a single tear escaped her eye lids. "Do not worry sister, I am fine." Chapter 2Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Chapter 3Chapter 3: A Few Days Of Weirdness The next day came shortly, it was the same routine, Crescent would wake up and Luna would play more of Crescent's video games. Crescent finished his shower and walked inside his "Tribute Room" as he saw Luna playing assassin's creed Revelation. "Hey Luna, you playing Assassins Creed Revelations?" He asked in a curious tone as Luna smiled at the man. "Well I have just started, what is this game about?" "Well the synopsis is that Ezio found something in his father's letters. A library built by Altiar that is suppose to have wonders of knowledge. So Ezio, in his fifties goes out to find out what his father couldn't accomplish." "Oooo I get to play as Ezio again, I hope Leonardo is still alive, he was my favorite in the series." Luna said in excitement as Crescent's tone lowered as he gave a heavy sigh. "Yea, well..... think for a minute Luna, Ezio's about fifty and Leonardo is a lot older than Ezio. And technology wasn't as advanced back then in that timeline." "So are you saying," "Yea, he's pretty much dead." He said in a flat tone. "Welp, I gotta go grab something from somewhere, I'll be back in a few hours, okay?" "Yes and I will play this Revalations, be safe Crescent." She said as she continued to stare into the killing spree screen. "I will." Luna promised as Crescent took his backpack walked inside his garage. There was a medium sized item covered in a filthy silk blanket. He pulled over the blanket to reveal a black motorcycle, it was bolding black as a helmet laid rest on the seat. Crescent took of his hood and placed the helmet on his head, he sat down on his motorcycle as he kicked the stand and started the engine. (Again, a random picture for Deviant Art) Source of pic Inside the house Luna heard a loud noise as she paused the game and followed the noise towards a different room. She opened the door to reveal a figure with a bold black head. She screamed in shock as she shimmered her horn, the figure raised both hands in submission as he took off his helmet to reveal Crescent. "WAIT LUNA! IT'S ME!!!" Crescent screamed in panic as Luna became confused and caused her magic to fade. "It's just me in a helmet, I was going to go to out of town and I wanted to use my motorbike." Crescent explained in panic as he turned off his engine and applied his kick stand. "What is that? And what is that terrible noise?" "This? It's a motorcycle, does Equestria have any vehicles?" "Well, we have scooters, bicycles, wagons, and carts but what in the moon is a motorcycle?" "Well, it's like a bicycle but it moves automatically, no man power needed." He tried to explain as the princess remained confused, Crescent gave a heavy sigh as he got off his vehicle and pulled out another helmet from a box. He strapped on the helmet on Luna's head who blushed at the human's gentle guiding touch. "C'mon and I'll show you what a mechanical vehicle can do." Crescent announced as he picked up Luna who gave a scarlet colored blush, he placed her in the back part of the motorcycle. "Alright now move your bottom legs here and here." He instructed as he placed Luna's legs in a safe position away from the rubber tires. He positions himself onto the front seat as he kicked off the stand and turned on his engine, it's unbearable noise grew as Crescent pressed a small button his bike. Suddenly an entire wall started to curve upwards as Crescent turned the gas and propelled himself and Luna onto the street, "Hold onto me really tight." He reached the straightest part of the road as he revved up his engine gaining speed, he could feel the momentum ascending as he gained more speed. Luna could feel the wind piercing her face as she couldn't feel her face. She tightened her grip onto Crescent's chest as the nature and structures sped through like a wonderbolt. After a few minutes he began to slow down his bike as Luna's faced was wide open, her eyes felt numb as well as he mouth. Crescent completely stopped the bike as he parked it near a forest. He departed from his vehicle as Luna stayed frozen like an icicle on the bike. "Uhhh..... Luna? You okay?" "..." "Luna?" "..." Crescent leaned over to her as he snapped his fingers in front of her snapping her back into consciousness. She shook her head to regain the images in her head as she open her eyes to find Crescent mere centimeters away from her muzzle. She blushed immensely rose as she started to sweat down bullets of bliss. "You okay?" He simply asked with an eyebrow raised as Luna waved her hoof. "Y-Yes, I am alright." She clarified as she got off the bike. "Where are we?" She asked as she looked around to find a massive body of water. She could see salty water, and rocky living beaches as it was smooth like a rug. "Welcome to the beach. Well it's not an ocean beach, but it's a lake beach so....yea, it's technically a beach." He shrugged as he took off his hoodie and placed it inside backpack. He pulled out a large towel from his backpack as he walked over to the sandy beach. Luna limped which caused her to lag behind the human, the human chuckled at her struggle as he walked up to her and offered a hand. "Here, lemme help you." He offered as Luna blushed and placed on of her hoof on Crescent's hand. He gripped her hoof as he turned around, reached behind him with his other hand and grabbed Luna's other hoof as he pulled her towards his back and carried her by his back. "There we are, now c'mon." He announced as he carried the blushing alicorn closer to the beach. Luna could feel herself melt like a blissful of chocolate as Crescelt laid her down on top of the laid out towel. "There, welcome to the Silent Cove." He said as he sat down next to the alicorn, Luna looked over to the water as she could see the mountains and a beautiful sunset glazing the red sky with a blanket of warm air. "It's...so...beautiful." Luna awed in amazement as Crescent gave a long yawn. "Uuuuahhh, Sorry about that. I'm a little tired." He said causing Luna to giggle, she gave a small soft yawn as she tilted her head causing Crescent's lap to become a pillow. "Can I lay here? My wings still hurt, as well as my leg." Luna asked as Crescent shrugged. "Go ahead." He said with a small blush as the two gazed upon the glazing sunset. About half an hour passed as Crescent continued to gaze at the sun, but he could feel a slight breathing on his side, he looked down to find that Luna fell asleep on his laps. He chuckled in joke as he took his hand and brushed it against Luna's sparkling blue mane. He could feel it soft like fire as he looked at her face. I-I guess she's....pretty cute. Woh there, isn't that like, kinda wrong. I'll tell you what's wrong, my life. I can't live like this anymore. True....true. Heh, I bet you can't kiss your sleeping beauty. I bet I can. Crescent looked at Luna who's face was up towards his. He leaned in as he quickly cocked back in bullets of sweat. Ugh... why can't I do this?" He barked at himself as he rested back on the sand and closed his eyes but quickly shot back open as he could feel Luna's head moving around his lap. He rose up and looked at Luna who's eyes were cracked open. "Hey there sleepy head." He teased as Luna turned skarlet red as she realized where she was lying down. She screamed in embarrassment as she sprung up away from Crescent's lap and stood up. "Oh goodness I'm so sorry Crescent, I-" "Nahh It's okay Luna, I kinda enjoyed it." He said with a smirk as Luna blushed at the comment. "Umm... you actually enjoy me sleeping on you?" She asked in a blushing tone. "Yea, I mean you sleeping on my lap is like my dog sleeping on my lap. Or like my ex." "Y-Your ex?" "Yea..." He started in a law tone as he sighed with disappointment. ", I used to have a girlfriend, it didn't work out." "What happened?" "Well, she started to act all prissy and like she had power over me, plus she kept spending my hard earned money and she kinda used me." "Used you? For what?" "Two things, money and sex." "S-Sex?" "Yea, she only appreciated me for my looks. Guess I was duped." He said with a lone tone as Luna scooted next to him and wrapped her hooves around him with a hug. Crescent felt a slight blush as he could feel the pony's soft fur pressing against his sides. He sighed with comfort as he returned the hug back. "Thanks Luna, that's the first hug I've gotten in a long time." "You can get more if you come with me to Equestria, especially from me." "I'd Love th-" Crescent was suddenly interrupted as he could feel Luna's lips suddenly press against his. In two different ways he could feel the kiss being strange, but also being perfect. Many minds were mixing and racing around Crescent's mind until one simple thought smacked him upside his brain. Eh, what the heck. He shrugged in his mind as he gave up and let Luna kiss him. Luna broke the kiss as she looked into the human's blue eyes, as for Crescent, he looked into Luna's deep turquoise colored eyes. "Wow." Was all Crescent could say as Luna gave a cute yawn as she stood up. "Crescent, I am feeling a little tired. Can we go home on your motorcycle? I would love to rind that again." Luan said as Crescent nodded. They both walked back towards Crescent's motorcycle as they strapped on their helmets and zoomed back towards the human's home. They arrived as Crescent got off, he looked at Luna who was half asleep during the ride. "Can you carry me to my room Crescent? I am really tired." "Sure." He chuckled as he picked up the alicorn and carried her in her bedroom. He placed Luna into her bed as he tucked her in like a little child. He nodded at Luna indicating his leave as he started to walk out the door. "Wait!" Crescent stopped a few centimeters outside the room as he looked at Luna with a raised eyebrow. "Is....is it okay if you sleep next to me?" She asked in a nervous tone as Crescent looked at Luna for a pausing moment and chuckled. "Sure." He answered in a soft but loving tone as Luna scooted a little bit to the side leaving Crescent room to lay down. Crescent came to the bed as he opened Luna's blanket cocoon and crawled inside next to Luna. He laid next o Luna as she could feel Crescent's soft breathing against her neck. "Hey Luna, can I tell you something?" He asked as Luna remained silent, there was no movement from her. "Luna?" He asked to himself as he looked over to find Luna sleeping in the bed, Crescent chuckled as he wrapped an arm around the pony and put his mouth close to her ear and said, "I like you, and I mean like like you." He whispered as he closed his eyes and soon drifted off to sleep. "Me too." Luna whispered without the human hearing as she floated towards her sleep. Chapter 4Chapter 4: Family Reunion Crescent was the first to wake up, again, he looked over to see Luna sleeping next him with a smile on her face. Crescent relieved a sigh of passion as he got off the bed and walked into his room, he looked at his calender and gave a heavy sigh. "So, it's that day already huh?" He smile turned to wither as he took another pair of clothes and walked inside the shower. He turned the valve to find a shocking surprise, the water was cold, Crescent quickly leaped out of the shower and started to shiver with antonym scalding water. "Ahhhhhh!!! COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COOOOLLLLDD!!!!" He screamed in stinging pain as he ran out of his shower. "Good god that is cold!" Luna burst through Crescent's door with worry as Crescent quickly noticed her presence. Crescent forgot that he was... present in his form, he quickly reached out for the nearest towel and shrouded his area to prevent any more embarrassing moments. "Ah! L-Luna, please, don't you know how to knock!?" Crescent screamed in embarrassment as Luna flared up and hid her eyes with her hoof. "I-I-I-I'm sorry Crescent, I-I-I-I heard a scream and I thought you were in trouble." "Hang on, lemme get some clothes out, please keep your eyes closed." Luna followed as Crescent quickly grabbed his jeans and zipped them on. He also grabbed a random T-shirt from his drawer and put it on. "Okay, your good. You can look now." Luna let go of her shielded hoof as she could see a fully clothed Crescent. "Oh thank goodness, I am most sorry Crescent." "Don't worry you didn't know. It was just a cold shower and I jumped out of there." "Why was the shower cold?" "I don't really know, ah well I can take one tonight." He calmly said as he reached over to his drawers and pulled out a silver tall bag. "Hey Luna, I'm going to go somewhere and I kinda need to do this alone, do you mind if you stay here for a bit." "No, not at all, I can stay here." "Thanks Luna, also could you please leave my room? I need to change." He stated as he started to blush a little. "O-Oh yes, of course." She clarified as she started to walk out the room, then she could see in the corner of her eye, a calender with red Xs and one single O, it was on today's date. She walked out his room and closed the door and trotted around the house. I wonder where he has to go? I do not know, did you see his calender, there was a few markings as if it was counted down. I must check on him. But your magic and leg is injured. I don't know, I don't feel any more pain. Luna said to herself as she concentrated on her horn, it started to shimmer as she picked up a nearby apple. Okay, basic spell, transformation. The apple flashed as it was soon replaced with an orange, she peeled the orange as she lucked a slice and ate it. Mmmm, success. But what of my real power? She asked herself as she quickly walked inside her room and closed the door. She slowly unwrapped her bandages as they became cool with breeze. Goodness that feels good. She said as she stretched her body and sat on her haunches. Her horn glimmered as the door locked and several objects began to swirl around her. Now for the real test. She said to herself as her eyes beamed heavenly white and a white bubble shield surrounded herself. Luna woke up in a different world, she could see two massive oval like circles both with moving images. She walked up to the open ovals as she could see a road with a dark shade of black shrouding it. This must be Crescent's eyes. He's going somewhere. Luna thought to herself as she walked away from the eyes and suddenly found herself in Crescents home. I'm back? That's not possible, I- "Hey Loan....I uh....I got bad news..." Luna looked at the corner of the wall as she could see Crescent talking on his small device, she could hear a voice, an older female voice coming from the device. "Yea what is it?" "It's mom, I....she...she's....she won't make it to your grand opening..." He said with tears rolling down his cheeks. "Wait...no...please no...she can't... she just..." She sounded broken. "Just come over, I already told Don and he's on his way. He had the same reaction." "..." Crescent set down his device as he walked into the next room, there laid an elderly man with tears rapidly rolling down his cheeks as his eyes became red. "Hey dad, I know it's sad that mom's dead, trust me, everyone's depressed." "Son.." He spoke in a weak tone. "I'm proud that you decided to stay with me. I knew that you were my favorite. I promise you, one day I will free you from this home. I always wanted you to follow your dreams....but I always slowed you down. I promise you that I will break you from our wasteland of a home. I promise you" He slowly gave a long breath as he looked at his son. "But one last thing son, your mother, she wanted you to have her amulet. The crescent moon one, she always said "If this moon is special from the others, then it should go to someone who is special."" His father repeated as he gave a small cough. "Promise me son, that you will find that special someone, and give that person this amulet. I don't care if he's gay, or a best friend, just please promise me.." "I promise dad, I promise." Luna couldn't help but place a hoof on her mouth in shock. Suddenly, in a flash of light, she could find herself in the same room. Except it looked older, the wallpaper was scrapped, chipped, and or ripped. The floor boards were even missing some plank. But then Luna saw Crescent as he started to weep painfully on the same bed his father was on. His father laid on his bed, his hands were together as they both laid on his stomach. No movement, no noise, not even a voice slipped through him, just utter silence and peace."Noooooooooo!!!" Crescent cried through sobs as his father was thought to be asleep. "Dad, please don't go! PLEASE!!!" There was no response, Luna walked over to Crescent to try and place a hoof on him for comfort. But her hoof simply fazed through his body making him feel nothing. Crescent stood up as he ran through Luna and stormed out the door, the depressing rain poured on him as they tried to mask his tears. Crescent continued to sprint as Luna followed, he reached the nearest liquor store as bought a massive bottle full of tequila. He ran outside as Crescent completely chugged it down and fell to the floor, having his forehead bleed. "Quick, call 911!!!" The cashier screamed in horror as a white and red box like vehicle drove in and and took Crescent away. My goodness, Crescent never told me he had to suffer through this. Luna said as the setting changed, she now found herself back outside, but this time, she could see Crescent wearing a nice suit. She could see that he was standing in front 4 tombstones, each labeled with Different names, but all the same last names. Is this his... She paused as she looked over to two different tombstones, both read Don and Loan, Luna had heard these names. These must be his older siblings, I feel awful for Crescent, for what he's been through. "Hey guys, it's me again. Happy birthday to... me again..." W-What? H-His...his birthday is today? Crescent looked over to his mother's and father's graves, he gave a sly grin at it as he placed a flat hand on his chest in respect. "Hey mom, hey dad, I think I found that special somebody to give the amulet to, she's not...human.... she's something more. She's a pony name Luna, and she's from a whole 'nother world, and she's a princess. She's nice, funny, and she's really caring, plus we have something that we love in common, the dark skies, the stars, and the moon. She...she like... completes me, y'know?" He finished as he looked over to his sibling's graves. "Hey Don, I bet you're partying hard up there eh? Well, I've been taking your advice, treat my life like a video game, going 100% synchronization, it's sorta working out, but I can't say that's it's working well." He said with a sheepish grin as he cleared his throat. "Loan, I've been working hard just like you told me too, and the restaurant's been doing great, they just got another deal and they're gonna open another one in New York. Business is good there, it's almost like they don't need my help anymore, which is good." He finished as he dropped to his knees and masked his face with his hands as small drops of sadness and depression skimmed through his fingers. Luna could feel nothing but feel pity for the human, suddenly a flash like beat pulsed through her ear as she found herself outside. She could feel the rain touch her, and hear sounds of shatter and depression. Standing in front of her was the Crescent that was weeping over his family's grave. "C-Crescent?" Crescent flinched as he faced towards Luna, she was standing right there in front of him. He became shocked, her bandages were gone and she was out of the house. "L-Luna, why are you-" Crescent was interrupted as Luna wrapped her arms around the human with care and pity. "L-Luna, please tell me, why and how did you get here?" He asked through shock as Luna couldn't help but cry for the human. She stood up as she wiped off any remained tears. "I saw something marked on your calender and you looked different. So I used my magic and went inside your mind, and please forgive me but, I saw your memories. After that I teleported here because I care for you... Crescent please forgive me I-" Luna was interrupted as Crescent pressed his lips on Luna's. She could feel Crescent's tongue prod and swerve along with Luna's tongue as she returned the gesture and played along. Crescent released his mouth as they both breathed heavily for air, Crescent looked through Luna's turquoise eyes as he smiled. "Thank you." Author's Note Redone by Moi XD Yep just a new chapter and rewriting and editing the original story. Nothing to major just trying to extend it. Chapter 5Chapter 5: Thank You "Thank you." Crescent said in a warm felt tone as he collapsed on the wet grass. Luna's eyes shrunk as she hurried to Crescent's aid and lifted him up with her magic. She carried him under a nearby tree as she laid him down on the partially wet ground. She patted a hoof on his cheek to try and wake him up. "Crescent! Crescent! Crescent please wake up!" She pleaded as she placed her ear on his chest, she could feel no breathing from the lungs. She quickly placed both of her hooves on his chest and pressed down for him to gain air. She pressed her lips on his as she blew out her breath to donate her air, she released he lips as she repeated the same process. "Please! Please! Wake up!" She exclaimed as she raised both of her hooves together and slammed them down on his chest causing him to spring up in shock and pain. "Arrrghhh!!" He gasped in relief as he exhaled with safety. " *cough* *cough* Oh god... *couch* what happened?" He asked as he looked at Luna. "You just fainted and you couldn't breath! I gave you CPR and well... the rest is history." Luna said in a worried tone as Crescent sat up, drenched in rain as he looked into Luna's eyes. "Thank you Luna, I almost went to my family. Guess, it's not time for my visit yet." He said as he stood up and wiped off any raindrops from his eyes. Luna did the same as the two walked towards Crescent's motorcycle. They both sat on the bike as Crescent revved it's engine, or tried. "C'mon, girl c'mon." He struggled as he repeatedly revved his engine on, hoping to turn it on. This was frustrating for the human. Crescent turned his handlebar one last time only to be deceived by his failed vehicle. "Damn, the bikes dead." He checked the gas meter only to find a needle pointing to a big E. "Dammit, I forgot to get gas." He sighed heavily as Luna placed a hoof on his shoulder. "Worry not Crescent." Luna said as she flashed her horn teleporting the two back inside Crescent's garage. Crescent gave a smile towards Luna as she giggled from her spell. "Thanks Luna, if you hadn't use your spell, we would've been sick by now." He said with a chuckle as Luna followed with a giggle. The two got off Crescent's bike as they walked inside the living, Crescent took off his jacket and threw it on the couch. "Luna, I'ma go take a shower. If you need anything, just yell out." Crescent informed as Luna nodded and trotted into the 'tribute room'. She picked up a different game, it was a white disk with red lip like mark on it. "What in the moon is this?" She looked at the label of the disk. Hot Luck Rated A for adult Contains explicit material Could this be a video game? It's rated A and I am over 1000 years old. Luna placed in the disk inside the console as she sat down and watched the screen. ----10 minutes later---- Crescent stepped out of his shower with steam blazing our of his bathroom. He put on some clothes as his stomach rumbled with greed. "Guess it's time for dinner." He said as he started to walk down the hall. He could hear some groans and moans from the tribute room as Crescent raised an eyebrow in confusion. What the hell is going on in there? He walked towards the doorway of the tribute room as he could see something shocking of him. He could see Luna watching a pornographic film, he was becoming a little aroused that his friend started to spring up. Oh shit! He quickly covered his area as he ran towards the kitchen as he tried to picture what he saw out of his head. Was she- Calm down! Calm down? CALM DOWN!? I Just saw Luna watching a porno! How the hell did she find that!!! Remember, you had that secret stash. NOT HELPING!!! Crescent argued with himself as he picked up a kitchen knife and a pulled out a few veges from the fridge. He chopped up Lettuce, carrots, broccoli, green onions, cilantro, cauliflower, and zucchini. He placed them all in a large pot and he poured vegetable broth and stirred the broth mix. She then put in some sauces and some herbs as the broth turned to a spring green color with chopped vegetables surfacing on the top. He then started to slowly and deeply breathed. "Okay.......okay....calm.....calm." He sighed in relief as he took a small spoonful of the broth and sipped it, he smiled at his flavor's success as he whipped his hands. "Perfect" He said to himself as he walked into the garage. ---Meanwhile--- "Princess, it's been a month and Luna is nowhere to be found. I think we should-" The guard paused as the princess look at him in the eye that could kill a manticore. "NO! *Ahem* I mean, no please. We must keep looking." Princess Celestia said in a desperate tone as she gazed out towards her sister's moon. "Oh Luna, please be okay." Celestia begged as she started to weep for her sister's disappearance. "P-Princess?" The sun goddess paused as she turned around to find her niece Princess Cadence and Shinning Armor both with sad looks on their face. "I-I'm sorry princess, but I think it's time to-" "NO! Shinning Armor you are the captain of my royal guard and you will do as I'm told, just, please.... find her." She pleaded as Cadence trotted over to her crying aunt and place a hoof over her neck. "It's okay auntie, she's okay, I promise." Crescent prepared a scrumptious dinner with rice, vegetable soup, and baked potatoes as he set the silverware and china down on the table. "Luuuna, dinner time." Crescent said with bullets of sweat filled with embarrassment. I'm reaaaaally hoping she doesn't hate me for that DVD she found. Crescent slowly walked towards the tribute room as he slowly shimmied against the wall. Oh God, please don't hate me. He hoped as he tilted his head and peaked from the side of the doorway only to find that Luna was missing? Huh? Where's Luna? Crescent checked around the house and could find no trace of the pony. He heard a vocal voice coming from the outside. The voice sounded like an angel, beautiful and elegant as Crescent tried to follow the voice. He walked outside to hear the vocal becoming stronger and more beautiful. He ran up his wall and climbed up to his rooftop to find Luna sitting on his roof staring at the moon. She was singing a song, a song that was beautiful and lovely that it hit Crescent in his heart. "Well that was something." Crescent complimented as Luna turned around in surprise as she blushed with embarrassment. "That was beautiful Luna." "Oh um.. it was nothing, really. I just, wish I was back at home." Luna said as she looked at the moon. It was still full and shun bright upon the two. She shed a small tear as Crescent approached her, crouched down and placed his arm around her neck. "Don't worry, you'll get home, and I'm coming with ya. Remember, the wormhole thing is still lit, and you look normal already." Crescent said with a smile as Luna followed. "Has your magic fully recovered?" "Yes, when do you want to leave?" "Maybe tomorrow night, I just want to spend one last day on Earth y'know?" "Yes, I understand." Luna said as she rested her head on Crescent's chest. Crescent felt a beat in his chest and he took his hand and brushed his palm on Luna's navy neon blue mane. "Welp, it's dinner time." Crescent said as Luna removed herself from Crescent's chest and flew down the building. Crescent simply jumped off and rolled on the ground as he landed. Luna sat at the dinner table as she eyeballed at what Crescent had prepared. "What is this you have prepared Crescent?" "Well, I've prepared a vegetable soup with rice, and baked potatoes stirred with sour cream, chives and butter." "What is this rice you speak of? It looks like paste." Luna said as she confusedly gazed at the rice. "It's kinda like grains, plus it goes good with almost anything. Also a great source of carbohydrates, and it's from another country called Asia. Give it a taste." Luna did just that as she levitated a small amount of rice and placed it in her mouth. It felt partially sticky but edible as she examined the tastes of the white food. She swallowed the rice as she tasted her mouth but found no passion. "It tastes plain, as if there's no flavor." "Well, it's mostly used as like stomach filling food, try it with some soup and veges and you'll get the idea." Crescent recommended as Luna placed a small clump of rice in her bowl and poured soup and vegetables in. She lifted her spoon with her magic as she tasted the combination, in a mere half second, her eyes sparkled as she could feel an all new taste with the food as she continued to eat in a scrumptious expression. "Oh my word Crescent, this is delicious, *mmm* Where did you learn to cook so well?" "Well it's a little bit funny, but I kinda wanted to be a chef." "Ooo Do tell, I want to hear this." "Well, I was in culinary school and I studied and chopped to the best of my abilities to become a chef. And when the years passed, my skills improved. I eventually entered a tournament, there was a lot of pressure on my but I topped it all off with a bang." He said as he threw his spoon in the air, making it spin as it landed in the mush of his baked potato. "I won and I got a degree to enter the best culinary class in the world." Crescent paused as he took a bite from his rice stew as Luna became a tad impatient. "So what happened next?" "Well here's the funny part, it was my like....60th day there and I was making a souffle. Then uhh.... I kinda blew up the kitchen." He said as his cheeks blushed in embarrassment causing Luna to giggle for the human. "So they kicked you out for blowing up one kitchen? How did that happen?" "Well, y'know those volcano projects? Y'know, the ones with baking soda in them?" Crescent asked as Luna nodded in remembrance. "That's kinda how my souffle ended up, don't know how but straight after that I got kicked out." "Oh, well I'm sorry." "Don't be, I never had a chance anyways." "Don't say that Crescent, I'm sure you would've had the chance." "Yea... but it's good that I failed." He said with a soft tone as Luna placed a hood over her mouth in shock. "What? Why would you say such a thing?" "Because I wouldn't have met you." Crescent said as Luna's heart pumped full of passion. The two continued to eat and chat as they finished. Crescent piled up the dishes on his arms as Luna aided in levitating the dishes. "Thanks Luna, just put them in the sink and I'll wash 'em." Luna nodded as she placed them in the sink and trotted in the 'tribute room' with bloody and happy expectations. Crescent started to scrub the dishes and place them in the washer as he paused halfway and gave out a yawn. Whoa whoa, gotta wash these dishes. I'll just...rest...my...eyes... ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz A shattering noise rang through Luna's ears as she peaked her head out from the tribute room to find that Crescent was slumped over his sink as the water poured down onto his face, but he didn't wake up. Luna giggled for the tired human as she turned off the sink and levitated up Crescent, she carried him into his room. She tucked him in as she gave a quick peck on his cheek, she closed his door and crawled up next to the human, snuggling him. "I love you Crescent." She whispered as sleep soon shrouded her eyes. Author's Note Welp here's another chapter. Hope you liked it :D Chapter 6Chapter 6: Home Not So Sweet Home Crescent fluttered his eyes opened to find that he was in his bed, he could have sworn he was washing the dishes a second ago. He rose up from his sheets and heard some mumbling noises. He looked over to his left to find Luna wrapped around his arm, he slightly blushed but giggled at the sleeping beauty. He gave a quick peck on Luna's cheek as he got off his bed and covered Luna with his blanket. He took a fresh set of clothes as he entered the shower. He turned the valve as he felt the blazing rain shower him, he endured the burning pain but also gave a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Luna soon slowly creaked open her eyes as she rose up her head. She could hear the sprinkles of a hot shower being active. She yawned as she soon trotted into the tribute room, she then noticed another white box, but it wasn't the Xbox 360. "What is this?" She closely examined the mysterious white box, it was slanted and looked like a parallelogram. She pressed the button on the top which labeled 'power' as it blinked green as a bright blue light surround the front of the box. Luna moved back in defense but found that the white box wasn't a weapon. "Is this another video game?" She turned on the T.V. as she could still see a plain black screen. Luna 'hmm'ed in confusion as she looked at the text labeled at the bottom of the box. "Wii" She read as a white rectangular block was next to it, it was also labeled 'wii'. "Could this be the controller? Quite odd for a human's hand." She said as she pressed the power button the activated the controller. But the monitor was still black as paint as she looked at the buttons on the bottom of the television, she scratched her chin as she wanted to press a button, but couldn't chose which in fear that she might break something. "What is this input?" She questioned as she pressed the button which caused the screen to turn white. She could see a very decorative screen, filled with boxes of unknown modern human knowledge, unknown towards Luna knowledge. Luna held the controller like stick sideways as she tried to move the control pad, but nothing happened as she raised an eyebrow in confusion. "How does this 'thing' work?" She tried to move and control it in several different ways as she pointed the black end at the television. There seemed to be a hand with a number 1 labeled on it. Luna moved her control which move at the same motion on the screen. "What is this?" She moved around the hand as she smiled at the technological amusement. "This is amazing, how humans could achieve this is beyond my mother's knowledge." She moved around the hand as she hovered it over the box on the top left, she figured that the A button would be the primary button for the gaming device. She clicked the box as the screen zoomed into the box which enlarged with as she pressed play, making the screen turn black. "Oh no, did I turn it off?" But suddenly, the screen smoothed into a scene, it showed a boy in green sitting on what looked to be a horse, almost like an earth pony. She didn't know what to press as she stop to figure to see that the screen and boy began to move. She could see the boy riding the horse on the bridge. She could see the two travel all across a land that was bathed and glazed with a honey like sunlight. She thought that the land looked beautiful as the pair has traveled at the edge of a cliff. "Does he not know that that cliff is dangerous?" Luna said in a worried tone for the boy as the camera focused the pair, but found them travel off screen as the camera moved along the sun dew land. She could then see a wolf, as it howled towards a beaming, gold wall of light, howling as if it hates it. "Where did the wolf come from?" Luna asked herself as she read the title and it's instructions. "The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess? A strange title." Luna held the remote as it instructed her to press A and B at the same time, which she did as instructed. Crescent had finished his shower as continued with his morning routine, he brushed his teeth and wore fresh new clothes. He then went to his closet as he reached out a gym bag, and a travel bag. He started to pack his essentials, like a toothbrush, shampoo, soap, towels, and most importantly, clothing. He packed T-shirts, jeans, cargos, jackets, sweaters, button ups, socks and especially multiple pairs of boxers. Hmmmm... now that I think about it, Luna loves my video games. Yea she does, but it's not like Equestria has a television or any fancy computers or something. Yea, she probably gonna miss them, what're you gonna do? I guess I can like dress up for her, y'know cosplay? Or something.... Euhhh.... that's weird. So? We're all weird in a way, that's what makes us normal. Ain't that the truth. After Crescent had 'bro fist" with his inner self, he had packed a week's worth of clothing to re-use and recycle if necessary. He wanted to pack a few things from his 'Tribute Room', he still wanted the spirit and possibly the appearance of the assassins, after all, it was his favorite video game of all time. It has beaten his second spot of 'Legend of Zelda', which was fun but.......Assassin's creed is just better. Infact he can hear the good times that 'The Legend of Zelda' has given him.......... .........Hang on, he can hear them. Crescent had raised an eyebrow in confusion as he walked inside his 'Tribute Room' that he discovered that Luna was playing his 'Nintendo Wii'. Crescent's mind was racing with contestants of confusion, that he didn't know what to say now, other than "uhh...." Luna turned around to her surprise as Crescent was speechless. "Oh Crescent, I was...uh........" Luna couldn't scavenge what to say. She had just played a new machine of Crescent's without asking, she felt like a burglar. "I uh...... I apologize Crescent, I just wanted to try something new." Crescent raised his hand in acceptance. "No worry's Luna." He said as he sat down next to her. From Crescent's view, she was on the setting of when the hero known as Link is currently training with a wooden sword. "So, you started huh?" "Yes, I was very intrigued at this device. It's almost as if it's magic for humans." Luna said in astonishment as she raised her remote and nunchuck and followed the instructions of combat. "So are these humans as well?" Luna asked at the characters who were talking to her. "Yea, though some are and some aren't. Like it was thought of as a myth, but some humans knew magic, they were known as elves. From what I can remember, they would have long pointed ears." He said as Luna swung her remote as her character lashed his sword at the practice dummy. "Amazing!" Luna admired as Crescent giggled at her childish reaction. "Hey Luna, I'm going out to buy some essentials. Is it okay if you can stay here by yourself?" "Yes, I will be fine." "Cool, and don't use magic please." He said as Luna giggled. Crescent applied on some clothes as he entered his garage, he picked up a green diesel with straps similar to a backpack. He applied the gas can backpack as he opened his garage, left, and closed the garage. He started to walk with his hands in his pocket past his deserted neighborhood, houses were cracked, chipped, broken, and gone. He would only see a few people, barely he could recognize. He walked for what felt like fifteen minutes as he approached a gas station. He saw only 2 pumps and a car outside which was being pumped. But the owner of the car wasn't to be seen. "Where the car's owner? The car would've been stolen by now." Crescent placed down his diesel can next to a free pump as he entered the shop. He walked up the the clerk as he pulled out five dollars. "Just about 2 gallons." He said as he passed the money towards the clerk, who cashed in the money a flashed the price on his register. "91.10$" Crescent's eyebrow cocked at the insanely large price. "What f- 91.10? That's high way robbery." He said as he frowned at the clerk who's face started to sweat. "91.10$" The clerk repeated as he placed a two fingers over the period and the 0 on the price. Crescent squinted his eyes as he closely looked at the price. 911 911!? He looked at the clerk in shock as he eyes seen to point below him. He fingers only stuck out a thumb and index indicating a gun. Crescent nodded at the clerk as he walked around the store. "Actually, lemme buy some booze while I'm at it." He said as he walked towards the bathroom. He lied back against the wall as he panted heavily with choice. Crap, a burglary! What are we gonna do!? Okay okay hang on. We gotta stop this. Crescent said as he looked around the bathroom to aid his survival. He found a small red crowbar with a steel colored hook in a tool box, no less than at least 7 inches long. He picked up the crowbar as he noticed from shattered mirror glass, he picked up a small but skinny piece as he wrapped the bottom part with toilet paper, making a makeshift shiv. He wielded both makeshift weapons and held them tight as he brought along with his, a bottle of whiskey. As he reached the clerk, he placed the whiskey on the table as pulled out a few hundred dollar bills. He quietly brushed his finger against the clerk's table, it was made out of wood and fiber, weak enough to punch through. Crescent raised his foot and waited for the frightening moment. He slammed his foot against the boundary of him and the robber as her heard a "Uaghfff!" Come from him. The clerk burst for the door as he ran for his life leaving Crescent to deal with the robber. The robber got up as he pointed his gun at Crescent who couldn't feel nothing but shock. He started to sweat with beads full of fear. "Alright man, you better give me those hundred dollar bills!" He demanded violently as Crescent pointed at the counter with the bills, still placed there. The robber turned away from Crescent as he saw his chance. Crescent took the crowbar as he swung it over the firearm as pulled it away from the robbers hand, letting it slide far across the store. The robber then pulled out a knife as he swung it towards Crescent with his right arm, he counteracted as he caught the knife with the hook of his crowbar as he brought his shiv toward the bicep of his arm. The shiv easily pierced through the skin and muscle as the blood soon poured and spat out with pain. The robber screamed and grunted with pain as Crescent brought up the crowbar and hacked the edge of the hook onto his neck, causing him to spurt out blood from his mouth and fall to floor, only to have blood slowly dripping out of his mouth. Crescent had just realized what he had just done, he had just killed someone. Crescent felt sick, he just committed something he thought he would never do. His hand shook with fear, he dropped his weapons as his breathing took to heavy steps and bumpy breaths. He slowly with floods of liquid fear walked towards his gas can and filled up the can to the top, hoping not to get caught with stealing. Oh God... now I'm....stealing. Calm down, it was just self defense. Yea, but self defense doesn't kill someone!!! But he could've killed you! But I never wanted to kill someone! Look, it was either you or him! I mean would you want to give Luna a gallon of grief!?!? Crescent heard that, he heard that with his heart as Luna flooded his mind. He gave a gulp as he strapped the gas can to his back and with all of his strength, sprinted back towards his house. Hopefully, no cops saw him. Luna was continuously playing Crescent's game known as Twilight Princess, her motions kept flailing her wii remote and pushing the nunchuck, as she had gotten far in only fifteen minutes. Heck, she was at the part where Link had been imprisoned inside the 'Twilight Realm' and had first met the twilight being by the name of Midna. At this moment, she had just begun to escape from the castle's dungeon, or at least the sewers. She continued to play with a smile of amazement as she heard Crescent's garage door begun to open. She paused the game as she trotted to meet Crescent with glee, only to find him within a flood of sweat. "Crescent? What's wr-" Luna was interrupted as Crescent swiftly gave a tight embrace onto Luna. She was slightly confused but turned to shock as she could feel tears, drop onto her coat. "Crescent." Was all she could muster to say as she embraced the human and gently patted his back for comfort. His crying continued for minutes, Luna continued to conform for her crying human, but she didn't know why he was crying. "Crescent, what has happened?" She asked with a sad look as Crescent scavenged and hiccuped at his words. "I.....I....I will tell you later Luna. Just....please, I must take a small nap." Crescent said as Luna gave a nod in respect to Crescent's choice. She trotted back into the 'tribute room' as she continued to play Crescent's Wii. As for Crescent, he walked into his room as he slumped onto his bed and screamed with violence and bloodburst through his pillow, strong enough to make his throat sore. Luna perked up her ears as she silently flew to Crescent's door, she leaned in her ear as she could hear sobs of misery. Luna turned the knob and slowly creaked open the door, she peaked in only to see Crescent was lying face flat on his pillow, fighting something. Author's Note I apologize for the long wait, but school sucks. No more info needed. Chapter 7Chapter 7: Out with the Old, In with the New Crescent had been in his room for quite some time. Luna had become concerned. Sure, she loved the amazing human technology that has evolved throughout the age of space and time. But she mostly cared for Crescent, seeing as the two became very close lately. Luna came to Crescent's door as she closely leaned in her ear to hear that there was a sniffling noise. She opened the door, she watched Crescent as if his torturer had called his trump card upon him. "Crescent..." She softly spoke as she walked next to him and placed a gentle hoof on his head. "She pushed his head revealing his face, it was red along with his eyes, trails of tears began to flow down to the side of his face. Luna gasped is horror as she quickly brought his head to her chest in embrace. "Shhhh.... it's okay." "No......it's not." He spoke weakly as a few hiccups soon came after. Luna patted and rubbed Crescent on his back continuously until he felt comfortable enough to talk. He rose, breathing weakly like a fish out of his pond. Luna once more embraced him for more comfort as Crescent returned the favor. "Okay......okay....I think I'm ready." "What happened." Luna asked, holding her lover's soft gentle wet face. "I......I don't think you'll like what's happened....." He said looking away from her face. "Please, tell me. I love you and I will be here to take care of you." "I.....I k-" He paused, still remembering the past event in a flash. It was creeping against his mind....haunting him. He gulped to clear his words and he tried to make them again. "I k...k....killed a man Luna." "W-What?" Luna covered her mouth in shock and let go of her gentle hoof. "You must understand Luna, the man had a gun to an innocent bystander." "What is a gun?" Luna asked with tears slowly dropping down her cheeks. "Well, you know what a crossbow is correct?" "Yes, we have them mounted on our castle walls to protect the castle. They fire projectiles more accurately correct?" "Yes, a gun or firearm as it was called first, is around a hundred times worse. It's light, powerful, and easy to use. It can kill anyone with just one flinch of the finger, and boom. A metal pierce round goes through you, and could kill you almost anytime." He paused as he held his head which started to fall with guilt and depression. "He had the gun to an innocent so I had to act. I took and crowbar and bashed his head till it....broke apart like a watermelon." Luna's eyes widened as she wrapped her hoof around her lover's hand and pulled his towards her chest. Crescent continued, "I had to do it Luna... it was either he takes the life of an innocent and me, or I take his." "It's okay, I understand Crescent." "No Luna it's not okay. I could have reasoned with him, I have blood on my hands now Luna." Crescent looked at his bare hands, there wasn't literally blood physically there, but he can see splashes of red murder on his hands. Luna embraced him harder, for his cold murder haunted him. She wanted to warm him with her love, hoping it would ease his mental scar. Crescent sobbed again. "I'm so sorry Luna." "Crescent, look at me please." He stared deeply into her turquoise crested eyes, feeling the flow of trust from her. Luna placed a gentle hoof on his cheek. "There are things throughout my years that I have not been proud of. Things I've done, that can never be undone. Believe me, I know how it feels, to sculpt death." Luna had also shed a tear, she could remember what she had done, as her darker, grimmer side. Nightmare Moon. "But I also remember that I had no choice, to save others from the menacing, and somethings......just sometimes, you have to do it by any means necessary." The two stayed in the same position for what felt like hours. Time had gone by, the cold air was beginning to thicken on the two as their skin harden and shivered with cold. "Thanks......Luna....." Crescent felt.....something warm, as if he could forgive a thousand sins. But the pressure was too much for him to bear at the moment, and he just fell on his sheets. "Crescent!?" Luna first shot in worry but found that the human was still breathing and well. She smiled with relief as she applied sheets to the human and came to his ear and whispered, "I can wait one more day or two, Equestria isn't going anywhere." Luna left the room as she silently closed the door behind her, she trotted her way back into the so called 'tribute room' and continued to play her video game. ---Meanwhile--- "Anything girls?" Twilight asked her friends after they all gave a long search for the princess. "Because Spike and I found no trace of her, or her magical presence." "Nope." Applejack Sadly reported "Nothing Twilight." Rainbow Dash dropped. "Anything Shy?" "I'm....sorry, my furry creatures and I couldn't find anything....sorry." "It's okay darling." Rarity chimed in to cheer on for Fluttershy's attempt of search. "I couldn't find anything girls." "I can't find any trace of her, I even checked at the wall!" Pinkie exclaimed as her friends looked at her in a confused fashion. Twilight dragged her hooves across her face as she weighted her cheek on her hoof in frustration and depression. "Equestria needs her girls." She "We all know Twah, I'm sure the princess is fine." "Thanks girls, I hope she's fine." ---Back on Earth with Luna and Crescent--- Crescent woke up in a small daze as he rose from his bed. He looked out his window to find that morning had already struck. He found himself in the same clothes from the other day. He sighed at the thought, what happened at the other day will stay that way, and hopefully away from him. He moved out of his bed, scratched his eyes to scrape off some barnacles and walked out of his room. Down the hall he walked and stopped at Luna's room. He peeked inside to find her sleeping soundly and peacefully. He sighed with relief, knowing that she's still here with him. He went back to his room, took fresh clothes, took a shower, and then proceeded into the kitchen with a special surprise in mind. He opened his fridge and retrieved sour cream, eggs, cream cheese, a lemon, and butter. He then reached into the cabinet and took out graham crackers, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon. As for Luna she woke up shortly after, yawning after a good sleep as she could hear a engine whirring sound coming from the kitchen. She leaped out of bed, shook her head around to regain herself as she trotted to the sound. She found Crescent working on something in the kitchen as he added the last ingredient to his mysterious mix. "Good morning Crescent, what are you making?" "A special thank you present." He said as he took a spoon filled with the mix and handed it to Luna. "Care to taste the mix before it's baked?" Luna nodded as she levitated the mix into her mouth as she tasted the mix. It was sweet with a small kick of tang, she also tasted a small punch of lemon on it as well. "This is delicious.....wait a minute...isn't this-" "Cheesecake!" Crescent exclaimed as Luna rushed towards Crescent and pressed her lips against his. Then connected her tongue with his, but she still had the cheesecake in her mouth so their kissed turned out sweeter than usual. To both of them this was new, but they let it slide and played along. To Crescent it felt amazing, sweet, and saucy in a way. In the end the two departed lips as half of the cheese cake went to Luna, and the other to Crescent. The two giggled and laughed at their little stunt as the kiss was something they've never attempted with any other. "That was...new." He chuckled and smiled as Luna followed with a giggle and pecked him on the cheeks. "I love cheesecake, but not as much as I love you." She admired as she snuggled her muzzle to his chest. "I'm going to continue that little video game of yours. This Twilight Princess is very astounding and somewhat graphic in a way." She said in hype as she trotted to the 'game room' as Crescent could hear Link's roars and Midna's giggles. He took the bowl of cheesecake mix and brought it to a cake-pan with a crushed graham cracker bed. He buttered the sides of the pan to prevent stick as he poured the mix onto the cracker bed, letting it slide across the cracker and spread evenly inside the pan. He took a rubber spatula and started to swerve it on the surface of the mix to evenly distribute the height of the cake. "Done." He then took the pan of cake and carefully placed it inside a hot oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. He then closed the oven and set a timer on his phone for fifty minutes. After cleaning up the mess he had produce, putting back groceries, and taking out trash, he took out a few strawberries, bananas, and chocolate syrup from his fridge. "This i'll be the best cake I've ever baked." He admired to himself as he thinly sliced the strawberries and bananas which only took a sort amount of time. He finished the produce slicing as he finished the preparations for the cake's toppings.......now he was bored. "Damn....what to doo......" he looked around the room for something to pass the time. "Games? Nah, Luna's playing and I don't wanna interrupt her." His eyes then were attracted to his room as he remembered something. "Crap I gotta pack more, more clothes maybe." ---later--- "Okay so I triple checked my luggage. Three sets of shirts,pants, underwear, socks, and jackets/hoodies. Toothbrush and paste, and a razor and shaving cream. What else should I-" Crescent's ears twitch at the sound of bones cracking and swords stabbing. The sounds made his nerves shiver but his brain pulse an idea. He walked inside his tribute room as he took unnecessary but in lack of better words, awesome essentials. In a separate bag he packed his costumes and outfits from the assassin's creed franchise and a few weapons from his tribute room. After checking his list he had three luggage bag; one with needed clothing; one small one with hygiene essentials and medicines if needed; and one with assassin's creed weapons and clothing. "Oh shit..." Crescent clearly hadn't thought this through, he realized that all of this luggage is to heavy to carry, and he can't put it on the motorbike. He had a car but the engine is broken. "Crescent?" Crescent turned to fined a concerned Luna as she found the three bags we was going to bring. "What's wrong?' "Well I want to bring all this stuff to Equestria with me, but I nor my bike can hold all of this." Luna only giggled at his situation which Crescent took insult to. But Luna giggled for a solution, she shimmered her horn as all of Crescent's bags levitated, slowly they were shrinking and shrinking until they were the size of pocket watches. Crescent's jaw dropped almost to the floor as Luna levitated them onto his hand. "W-W-What in the-" "I shrunk them, do not worry Crescent. They are still there and you can fit them into a portable bag with you. Then once we get to the castle I can re-size them for you." Crescent gave sighed in relief and gave a small smile at Luna, he also tipped her with a peck on her cheek causing her to blush. "You're the best y'know that?" "I know.....Crescent......what happened with you? You seem.....different." Crescent left the room but he stopped his tracks from Luna's question. He gave a heavy sigh and continued to walked down the hall. He sat down on his couch heavily sighing more as he wiped and dragged his face. "Well....I've been thinking about what you said, the thing about "saving others from the menacing, by any means necessary" and well.....I think you're right. You're words have made me a changed man, and that when in danger people need to be saved. Even that one man taken hostage." Ding!!! Both Crescent's and Luna's ears twitched as Crescent's head lightened up. "Cake's done!" He said bolting towards the oven and grabbing a pair of oven mitts. He turned off the stove, and set a rack on the counter. He open the stove as the wave of heat brushed his skin. He grasped the hot pan and set it down on the rack as he pulled out a toothpick and dipped it in the puffed cheesecake. He waited a few seconds as he pulled it out to find that the toothpick was clean. "Yes!" Crescent's excitement took him over as he lifted the pan and placed it inside his refrigerator causing Luna to whine. "Aww but I want some cheesecake!" She pouted as she quivered her lips giving Crescent a puppy dog face. D'AAWWWWWW Crescent screamed in awe inside as his he felt his heart pound rapidly. And then, a sudden pulse of pain and he grasped his chest in revolt towards the pain. "HNNNNGG!" Luna gasped in horror at her lover's pain. "What's happening!?" Crescent only gave a few coughs as the pain soon subsided. "Ugh, *cough* that was weird. It's like I had a small heart attack, who knows how that happened." He theorized as Luna gave a small peck at Crescent's chest. "Did that make it better?" She asked with a warm smile as Crescent returned the favor with a hug. "Yea....it did. Now about the cheesecake, it's still warm and it's gotta cool down to have that nice cool affect and pudding like texture." "How long will it take?" "About 15-20 minutes. So we can eat that and then get ready for tonight." Crescent said with determination as Luna had a small concern look on her face. Crescent caught that look as his determination and excitement turned to concern and fear. "Luna....whats wrong?" "It's just....are you sure you want to do this." "..." "I mean, I'm fairly certain that you can never come back to this world after this, are you really sure you want to do this?" She repeated her question as Crescent gave a heavy sigh and smiled. "Luna, I've had to weigh so much pain against my back and shoulders, but when you came into this world...I can't tell you how much pain has been lifted. It's time that I forget this past and start off with a new leaf. As people would say, 'Out with the old and in the the new'." He said as he held her hooves causing Luna's face to become beet red. "And you've become the angel in my life, lifting me away from my pain like a crane. So to answer you're question. Yes, I am completely sure and I am ready to leave this world for good. And I'm not turning back, EVER!" ---The Following Night, 'Moving Time'--- "Everything packed Crescent?" Luna asked her human. Who has a backpack strapped to his back. "Yep, I've gotten pretty much all my things ready thanks to that spell of yours." "Are you sure I can't bring the games? I love them so!" She begged as Crescent slowly shook his head. "Sorry Luna, I would love to bring the games yea, but they'd be pretty much useless. I mean I don't think your Equestra has electricity to power my tv and video games." Luna stopped for a second and thought for a while. But then an idea came to be. "I know, our scientists do have a generators, although they are prototypes. And one of my good friends owns one for her own personal research." "Well alright, if you know it generates power and if you know that it might work then I'm down for the idea." Crescent allowed as Luna quickly flew to the tribute room, flashed his technology, and carefully levitated the tiny electronics into Crescent's backpack with a big smile upon her face. "Welp....hope these don't break along the trip." He hoped zipping up the backpack for the final time on his Earth. "Okay, now do we take your bike?" "Yea, put on the helmet and get on the bike and wait for me. I gotta grab something." Luna complied as she walked in the garage leaving Crescent alone to the house by himself. He walked around, the memories that were made, the fights, the dinners, the parties, the friends......his family....all no more. Not in this house. He gently placed a hand on a random wall of the house. "I guess this is it, if anything I'm sorry guys. But I don't want to live here anymore. I may sound crazy but before I move from the house permanently, lemme just say." He paused, placed his forehead on the wall, a tear flowing down with sadness but happiness. "I love you all..." He release he hand and entered his room. He approached his closet and moved away his excess clothes until he dug up a small black safe. There he punched in a special numbered code that followed him all these years. 9-12-15-22-5-21-1-12-12 He opened the safe as it unveiled a single amulet. The pendant was a midnight blue sapphire in the shape of a crescent moon with a silver outline. He picked it up and placed it in a small box and placed it in his backpack. He gave a heavy sad sigh and stared at the safe with a smile. "Thanks Mom, love ya." He grabbed his helmet and left his room entering his garage where Luna sat patiently for him with a smile. He took his gas can and filled his motorcycle's tank to the top. As he got on and revved the engine, he walked out his bike and closed his garage door. And then he left. Rain soon showered the neighborhood as lightning drummed around the sky. Then a single bolt boomed on top of Crescent's home, then the sides, the lawns, until his house was is a bonfire. Crescent didn't want to see it, he felt as if it was a message, as crazy as it was. He continued to drive with Luna as the rain strangely subsided quickly until the two reached where the portal was last seen, the park. "Okay so what's the plan again?" Crescent asked. "What I'm going to do is keep the portal open, but we're going to need lots of speed. So we need to rush into the portal because once its fully open, kaput its gone. According to my calculations the portal should stay full open for 5 seconds and we need to force ourselves in. Once we're through, we can live happily together." Luna put in a nutshell with a smile as Crescent revved his cycle once again in determination. "Alright! I'm ready!!!" Luna nodded as her horn sparkled causing the portal in the small distance to glow. Crescent revved his engine and hit the gas as the the motor vehicle stood on it's back wheel like when a horse stands on it's hind legs in pride. The bike rushed towards the portal as it became increasingly larger by the second. "Almost........theeeeeerrree!" She screamed, continuously pumped magic to the portal as the two's speed increased within miles per hour. The portal then expanded to a massive size, bigger than both Crescent and Luna as Luna gathered all the energy she had for one final push. "IT'S OPEN! GO CRESCENT GO!!!!" Crescent roared as her pulled has gas to the max, going to a near seventy-five miles per hour as his bike hit the surface of the portal. Like a knife, it slipped through the portal as it closed in a blink of an eye. No Crescent nor Luna could be seen anywhere, but only a long line of fire and a license plate at the beginning of the trail of fire. On the side of Equestria, it was dark and night time as Luna's moon glowed the night sky. But Luna wasn't there, yet. The portal from Earth had peaked, then ripped open as a large metal object holding two live forms emerged, flying from the portal. The sound of an engine out of Equestria roared throughout the night sky as it landed on the ground. Crescent immediately slammed his brakes as the pair began to slide on the rough dirt surface until they fully stopped. Crescent and Luna just sat there on the motorcycle breathing heavily from the amount of pressure and relief that had slammed upon them. Crescent took off his helmet, apparently with all the adrenaline he had sweated a tsunami. He looked around him, he was surrounded by grass and plains, but left to him was a small town with a few lights on. And among the far distance, a massive castle hung on a mountain surrounded with gleaming marble that glowed in the night. "Damn.....did we do it? Is this Equestia?" Luna looked at the moon, she knew it was her moon. She'd recognize that moon anywhere, and the castle was her's and her sister's. "Yes.....yes this is Equestria." "Huh, looks like earth to me." Crescent said as he looked at Luna. "Welcome home Luna, now which way do we go? That castle of yours?" Luna slightly shook her head in disagreement. "No, I must visit one friend before I go back to the castle. Please head in that direction." Luna requested pointing at the small village ahead of them. "Okay." Conveniently for Crescent's bike, there was a slightly clean dirt road in the plains, he followed the road and stuck to it as it lead him the way to the small town. "So what's this town called?" "A small town called Ponyville. I have really good friends living here." Ponyville? Seriously, that name sounds like little girls made it just off the fly. I mean seriously in a world full of ponies, I'm pretty sure a town by the name of Ponyville would sound very cliche. But Crescent Didn't care, not one bit. He drove his bike to the town but as they reached the tip of the town he stopped and turned off his bike. Luna questioned his actions but Crescent quickly explained. "Better not to disturb the sleep." Luna nodded as the two walked side by side. Crescent held a hand at Luna's neck, rubbing her in a pet sort of way, his other hand however held his bike and walked it as if it were a horse. As for Luna, she tried to resist the urge to moan, for it would be too embarrassing. "Okay, stop here." Luna said. The two were in front of a massive tree house, or house of a tree? Whatever it was, it was called a library, according to the sign. "Welcome to Golden Oaks Library. The home of my good friend Twilight Sparkle....oh and Spike as well." She said walking to the door. Three simple knocks with her hoof was enough the pop the lights inside the library. "I'm coming I'm coming!" Said a child like voice. The door opened revealing a small lizard like creature, also known as a Spike. Although Spike was too busy rubbing his eyes from the barnacles, he didn't see who was at the entrance and grumbled. "Ehm shrry but the Library is Clshsed. Cm back in like ten hrs." "Spike." Luna said in a calm and happy tone. Someone she knew for once after weeks of Equestrian isolation was there and here. And for Spike, his eyes popped up as he saw Princess Luna, the once missing for so long. "P-P-P-Princess.......Luna!?" He was in utter disbelief. No words and random thoughts came to his mind. Was she real? Was she fake? Was this all a dream!? "N-No, No this can't be real. Am I dreaming?" Luna quickly pulled Spike towards her with a big embrace and tears. "Its real Spike, I have returned." Spike who tried to be manly, couldn't help but leak tears for the missing princess. "Where is Twilight? I can imagine she is in a more worse state before I disappeared." "I-I'll get her!" Spike said, in a cheery tune ignoring the spectator Crescent. He ran into the library as Crescent and Luna walked in, Crescent being a gamer was amazed at the massive tank full of books in the library. It made his gamer head hurt. "TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT!" A click from upstairs snapped as small and low sounded clops could be heard. "Ughh!! Spike what is so importa-" She stopped in her tracks as she rushed and stood in front of Luna. Her mouth gaped open in complete frozen shock as her mind stood completely still. With a frazzled mane from stress and bags under her eyes, she looked like she was busy and stressed. "Hello again, Twilight Sparkle." Luna spoke to her, who was also smiling at her, happy to see her favorite unicorn. "I deeply apologize for my absence without official leave, I will explain fully to what happened to me, where I went, and who I found. This here is-" Luna stopped as she took another good look at Twilight, she was frozen. Not literally, but metaphorically shocked frozen, as if somebody burned out the last neuron in her brain. Spike walked over to Twilight as he gave her a poke. But she slowly fell down on her side, legs still straight and stuck in a standing position and stayed statue. Silence slowly filled the room, crickets rapidly "qwee'd" as Crescent had small guts to break it. "Soo.....is she gonna be okay?" Author's Note Here's the thing and go ahead and say you don't like this chapter. But I don't really like to write sad and depressing parts, but it feels well tied into the story since I wanted to give Crescent a much depressing past. Don't like it? Get out and don't ~~bitch~~ complain about it. Also, huge apology for the looooooooooooooooooooooooong gap, mainly because I have way too many stories to focus on, I've been working alot, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNND I'll be attending BABSCON in San Francisco.
Chapter 1Author's Note Clop will occur much later in the story, and only for one scene. Chapter 1 Chapter 1: The Master Story and Plot by : ME :D "Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my GOSH!!!" Twilight Sparkle, was galloping around the library, she was unprepared which was rare and was going insane, which was common. She kept sweeping around her library while putting away books, she was going to have a very special guest. "Spike hurry! Princess Luna is coming, we need to have this place in tip top shape before she gets here." Spike moaned. "Twilight the place is fine, Princess Luna probably won't even care." "She is royalty Spike." "Well she probably doesn't even care, she probably hates royalty." There was a knocking at the door, Spike walked towards the door, he opened it and standing at the door was a dark blue coated alicorn with a star light like flowing mane. "Hiya princess." announced Spike. Twilight's ears perked up as she heard Luna's name, she gave out a quick "eep" and quickly hid under her table. "Twilight Sparkle." A majestic voice called out to her. "I understand from sir Spike her that you are frightened are you not?" Twilight Sparkle appeared from under her table. "Yes princess, I am truly sorry." "Oh Twilight Sparkle, just call me Luna, I do despise the royalty once in a while." "Oh okay princess. I-I- mean Luna. Thank you Luna." The 2 ponies chatted and drank tea almost all throughout Luna's night. Twilight and Luna were also reading books, any book when it came to Daring Do, to the Da Filly code, even to the Coltfather. Twilight also had an opportunity she pulled out an old dusty book, she blew off the durst, it was titled The History Of Humans. "Luna, I wanted to discuss this book about you, I have been quite curious about what humans are, can you help me prin-eh...Luna?" "Why I would be glad to Twilight Sparkle, though my memory is quite foggy, me and my sister were only fillies after my mother and father decided to separate." "Wow, why did they separate?" "Well humans were growing in an vast speed, they had a much bigger population, they were actually believe it or not the ones who created the statue of Liberfilly, the statue in Manehatten. Due to their growth rate my parents and the human leaders who they refer to as the Gods both agreed to create and have new worlds. From what I heard from my sister, They call their world Earth, they are also more advance in technology as well, though I wouldn't care much if you ask me. We even have some technology we use today, such as the train, and the airship." "That is amazing princess, what do they look like?" "From what I remember, they almost resemble a monkey, but they have no tail and almost no fur. They stand with two legs, and have two arms, much like a dragon but they do not fly. They also have hair like us but in less colorful colors, some have red, brown, blonde, and black hair. But that is all of what I know Twilight Sparkle." "That's okay Luna, I think I have what I need to know." "Well you are quite welcome Twilight Sparkle, but I do apologize but I must depart, I must go to Canterlot and get ready to lower my moon for Celestia." "Yes I understand, safe travels Luna." Luna and Twilight had both said their goodbyes and Luna departed for Canterlot, she sprung out her wings and took to the midnight skies as she flew towards Canterlot. She majestically flew over the fields of the Everfree forest and past the plains of Equestria. As she flew around Equestria, she saw something......strange on the ground. She landed herself on the ground and found a small shiny blue hole on the ground. "What pray tell is this? Is this some kind of portal, I think I can see through it." Luna reached her hoof out for the small portal, as soon as she made contact a bright flash appeared and as if a pegasus was pulling a prank, wind was pulling Luna into the portal, the portal expanded as she was getting closer. Luna didn't have much strength and was sucked inside the portal, she was gone. -------------------- Crescent, your normal average humanoid guy, wasn't as normal as you might think. Crescent was a hardcore fan with Assassin's creed, he had obtained all of the costumes, including ones he paid a fortune for, and had also obtained some weapons, such as Altiar's sword, the hidden blade, as well as Connor's tomahawk. He was almost dedicated to the what they call order, he practiced parkour, he climbed the highest of heights and even dived from a scary height, he was indeed hardcore. He had always loved the night, he always practiced his parkour in the night because of 3 reasons, one he is hidden in the darkness, two he can't get in trouble, and tree he wanted to enjoy the moon up in space. He always felt like the moon and him had a special connection, emphasis on his name being Crescent, he loved the crescent shape of the moon. He was traveling from rooftop to rooftop wearing his own version of an assassin uniform, a black and red accent hoodie with custom settings. Crescent was running along until he reached his local park, he rested on the bench and reached out for the water fountain. He walked towards the grass and rested his back on it catching a breath until he can parkour back home. Suddenly, a loud crash caught his attention, Crescent rose up and looked around, and found a massive crater and a few tumbled trees. Crescent quickly ran towards the crater, in the middle lied a dark blue pony with wings, a horn, and a blue mane. Crescent was extremely confused, he slowly walked towards the pony, he examined the body, he found a few cuts and scrapes, he took the pony and carried it back to his house. "What the hell is going on?" Crescent thought to himself. -------------------- Luna had regained consciousness, she felt very comfortable for what she was laying on, she slowly opened her eyes and found herself on a soft bed. She looked around and what looked to be someone's home, she looked at her wing which had a few bandages and her hind leg was bandaged as well. A door inside Luna's room slowly opened, what walked inside was something really familiar to her, standing in front of her was a human, she thought she was going insane but it was all real. "Oh your awake." the human spoke. "Y-Yes, are you a human?" "GUWAAA! Y-Y-YOU SPOKE!?" "Why yes, does that frighten you?" "Well, kinda, but it's also amazing! I can't believe it! But right now, you need some food." Crescent said as he brought out a salad, and some apple, and orange slices. "Here, this should do after being unconscious for 5 days. Names Crescent by the way, and I'm a parkourist, whats yours? "My name is Luna, and I'm a princess." "Ah, so Princess Luna," "Please just Luna."Luna interrupted. "Alright then Luna, where are you from?" "Equestria." "Equestria? Well that, I could kind of believe, but will you ever go back to your own world?" "Well If i can find that small portal, yes, but I must take a few days to recover my magic." "Magic? Wait, What? There's magic in your world, like fairy tales or something?" "Yes, allow me to demonstrate." Luna lit up her horn she levitated a fork and stuck in in her salad, levitating the salad in her mouth to eat." Like so." "That's amazing." Luna blushed, she had no idea that humans could be so fun. "Y-Yes it is. Crescent tell me, what do you do for a living?" "Me? I do parkour shows." "Parkour? What is this parkour?" "It's like the ability to climb anything, to travel by heights, not flying but by climbing, I can show you outside if you want." "But why in the dark? Don't you like the night?" "No I don't like it," Luna heart sank when he said that. "I LOVE IT!" Crescent declared as Luna's heart grew 3 times that night, she gave a deep blush and tried to hide it from Crescent. "You, you like my night?" "YEA.....wait, your night? What are you the moon?" "Well no, In Equestria, My sister Celestia and I control the Sun and Moon, she controls the sun while I control the moon. Does anyone control the sun and moon in your world?" "Well not really, they move by themselves, it's all about like rotation and gravity, along with the atmosphere and something like that." "Very interesting." Luna had finished her food, Crescent put away the dishes and led Luna outside. "Alright, first thing's first we need to get to the roof." Crescent ran towards his wall and ran up the wall grabbing it's ledge and pulled himself up. Luna gazed upon him in impressiveness, nopony could ever climb like that. "That's just one of the basics of parkour. Now lend me your hand er...hoof, I'll pull you up." Luna did as he commanded she jumped up and Crescent grabbed one of her hooves, Luna had a small blush on her face, she hope Crescent didn't see that. Crescent pulled her up to his roof. "Ok, This is where the real parkour begins, see those other houses, I'm gonna travel by rooftops, as well as that two story house, I'm going to climb to it's roof, wanna watch?" Luna nodded, Crescent stood in position he sprinted towards the edge of his house, Luna thought he was crazy as he saw Crescent jump off his house. Luna was amazed at Crescent's skill, he jumped from roof top to roof top, off enough how he rolled once he touched the roof, he had approached the two story house, he had told Luna he would reached the top. Crescent jumped off the last rooftop, he gripped at a nearby crack in the wall, he slowly climbed up grabbing anything he could get a grip on. Luna was amused at how he had such strength, she couldn't remember humans doing this. After Crescent's climbing he had reached the roof top, he stood atop the roof, he looked over to Luna and waved his hand in hello to Luna, she did the same with her hoof. Crescent traveled back all the way to Luna, as he reached his way home, he lied down on his roof. He led out a loud breather, he was almost exhausted from his training. "Crescent, are you okay? And also, where did you learn this ability?" "Well first of all, yes just a little tired, and second, I was inspired from a video game series I always play." "Video games? Has human technology evolved over these years." "What do you mean evolved?" "Well thousands of years ago in Equestria, when I was just a filly, humans used to live in my world of Equestria, though due to their massive life span, my parents who were the rulers of Equestria and the human leaders agreed to live separately. We haven't seen any humans after thousands of years, even after my parent's deaths I would still miss the humans, until you found me." "Wow, that's quite the story, and I sorry for your loss." Crescent drooped his head down in apology "No it's okay, it's not your fault, at least they died in peace. I got over their death in a few thousand years. Crescent, is it true that you love the night?" "Yep, I just love it, I can't explain why, I especially love it when a crescent moon comes out, I just feel like it's speaking out to me. I also love those stars out there, I feel like it's the heavens watching me, especially my parents and siblings." "Oh are they..." "Yes." He said in a flat tone. "Dead, my parents died like yours, peacefully, and my brother and sister, both in an accident, their train crashed." He muttered as his head dropped down in depression. "Oh, I'm sorry for your loss."Luna wrapped her hoof around Crescent's neck to comfort him, she gave a small grin as she lied her head on his arm. "No, it's okay. And thanks Luna, I appreciate it." The two went back inside Crescent's home, he have Luna a tour around his home. "A beautiful home." Luna announced, Crescent led Luna into his guest room, he readied her a bed and room. "Crescent" Crescent turned his head facing Luna. "Yes?" "What is a video game?" "Well...uh... I can try to explain it, but electronics is not really my thing, but I can try. Video games are like games controlled by small fingers. You can do almost thousands of things with just a pair of hands, there are many different games out there, horror, role playing games, first person, violent, even puzzle games. But the game I play most, is Assassin's creed." "Assassin's Creed? is that the game that inspired you to do parkour?" "Yes, would you like me to show you?" "Yes that would be lovely." Crescent led Luna into what he called a "Tribute room", it had everything an Assassin's Creed fan could imagine. It had replicas of the game's weapons like Altiar's sword and Connor's tomahawk, and of course the famous hidden blade. He even had constumes, such as the AC Brotherhood costume, Altiar's costume, Connor's costume, and his favorite, the Colonial assassin costume from AC 3. He turned on what he called an "Xbox 360" and showed Luna. She was amazed at how a video game works. Crescent showed her all kinds of Assassin's Creed games, from the first to the third. She was amazed at the what they call "Assassin's" skill, of climbing, stealth, and killing. Though Luna didn't like the killing part. After a few hours of gaming, Crescent decided to call it a night and get some sleep. Luna's leg was a little stiff so Crescent offered his help, he carried her to the guest room. Luna blushed as Crescent carried her to her room, her heart felt a beat, was she attracted to Crescent? He was everything she wanted with a stallion, kind, loving, caring, and he loved the night and the moon, but he was a human. Not only did Luna's heart beat, but Crescent's too. Crescent lied Luna down on her bed and tucked her in. "Well, goodnight Luna, if you need anything don't hesitate to call me." Crescent immediately turned to leave but was stopped. "Wait!" Luna barked "Hm? What is it?" "....Um...Nothing..." The alicorn concluded as she retreated back behind her sheets. "Well okay then, goodnight Luna." The human said as he turned off the lights and left the room only leaving Luna sobbing behind her sheets. What are you thinking Luna? He's just a human! There is no way that Celestia would approve of me liking him! She screamed to herself as she rested her face on the pillow and continued to sob quietly. Crescent walked inside his tribute room as he pulled out his Iphone. He looked at the time to still find it past midnight. "Well, I don't got work tomorrow soo....." He eyeballed over to his "Tribute Room" as he walked inside and inserted Assassin's Creed II inside his console. He played for about an hour as he found it was two in the morning. Crescent quickly saved his game and turned off his Xbox. He walked down the hallway as he noticed Luna's door was peaked open. "Is Luna awake?" He whispered to himself as he looked inside, Luna was sleeping peacefully on the bed, he could see a small puddle of wet fabric on her pillow. "Is that drool? Ughh..... well can't be helped." He said to himself as he fully closed the door and walked inside his room. He changed his clothes into something more light and comfortable as he laid back on his bed and gave a heavy sigh. WOH! What a day. Whad'ya mean? First, a magical pony pops outa nowhere, she's a princess, and she can talk. Watcha gonna do? Keep her as a pet? No... that's not right, not even close to what I'm gonna do. What? I'm gonna help her go back home. He concluded with himself as he closed his eyes and fell to a slumber. Meanwhile inside of Luna's room, Luna quickly shot open as Crescent closed her door. She shun her horn as her window opened, she limped towards the window as she gazed outside, she looked at the stars which were in different constellations, and the moon, it wasn't her moon. "So is this Earth? Where everything moves by themselves?" She looked at the crescent moon and gave it a long stare, it was sleek, but not full, it was different, but not new, it was crescent, like a C. "It's different from the others, not full, but a little counts, I think I can see why Crescent loves the crescent moon." Luna concluded as she smiled at the thought, she limped back to her bed as she levitated her sheets to tuck herself in. She slowly closed her eyes as a single tear escaped her eye lids. "Do not worry sister, I am fine."
Chapter 3Chapter 3: A Few Days Of Weirdness The next day came shortly, it was the same routine, Crescent would wake up and Luna would play more of Crescent's video games. Crescent finished his shower and walked inside his "Tribute Room" as he saw Luna playing assassin's creed Revelation. "Hey Luna, you playing Assassins Creed Revelations?" He asked in a curious tone as Luna smiled at the man. "Well I have just started, what is this game about?" "Well the synopsis is that Ezio found something in his father's letters. A library built by Altiar that is suppose to have wonders of knowledge. So Ezio, in his fifties goes out to find out what his father couldn't accomplish." "Oooo I get to play as Ezio again, I hope Leonardo is still alive, he was my favorite in the series." Luna said in excitement as Crescent's tone lowered as he gave a heavy sigh. "Yea, well..... think for a minute Luna, Ezio's about fifty and Leonardo is a lot older than Ezio. And technology wasn't as advanced back then in that timeline." "So are you saying," "Yea, he's pretty much dead." He said in a flat tone. "Welp, I gotta go grab something from somewhere, I'll be back in a few hours, okay?" "Yes and I will play this Revalations, be safe Crescent." She said as she continued to stare into the killing spree screen. "I will." Luna promised as Crescent took his backpack walked inside his garage. There was a medium sized item covered in a filthy silk blanket. He pulled over the blanket to reveal a black motorcycle, it was bolding black as a helmet laid rest on the seat. Crescent took of his hood and placed the helmet on his head, he sat down on his motorcycle as he kicked the stand and started the engine. (Again, a random picture for Deviant Art) Source of pic Inside the house Luna heard a loud noise as she paused the game and followed the noise towards a different room. She opened the door to reveal a figure with a bold black head. She screamed in shock as she shimmered her horn, the figure raised both hands in submission as he took off his helmet to reveal Crescent. "WAIT LUNA! IT'S ME!!!" Crescent screamed in panic as Luna became confused and caused her magic to fade. "It's just me in a helmet, I was going to go to out of town and I wanted to use my motorbike." Crescent explained in panic as he turned off his engine and applied his kick stand. "What is that? And what is that terrible noise?" "This? It's a motorcycle, does Equestria have any vehicles?" "Well, we have scooters, bicycles, wagons, and carts but what in the moon is a motorcycle?" "Well, it's like a bicycle but it moves automatically, no man power needed." He tried to explain as the princess remained confused, Crescent gave a heavy sigh as he got off his vehicle and pulled out another helmet from a box. He strapped on the helmet on Luna's head who blushed at the human's gentle guiding touch. "C'mon and I'll show you what a mechanical vehicle can do." Crescent announced as he picked up Luna who gave a scarlet colored blush, he placed her in the back part of the motorcycle. "Alright now move your bottom legs here and here." He instructed as he placed Luna's legs in a safe position away from the rubber tires. He positions himself onto the front seat as he kicked off the stand and turned on his engine, it's unbearable noise grew as Crescent pressed a small button his bike. Suddenly an entire wall started to curve upwards as Crescent turned the gas and propelled himself and Luna onto the street, "Hold onto me really tight." He reached the straightest part of the road as he revved up his engine gaining speed, he could feel the momentum ascending as he gained more speed. Luna could feel the wind piercing her face as she couldn't feel her face. She tightened her grip onto Crescent's chest as the nature and structures sped through like a wonderbolt. After a few minutes he began to slow down his bike as Luna's faced was wide open, her eyes felt numb as well as he mouth. Crescent completely stopped the bike as he parked it near a forest. He departed from his vehicle as Luna stayed frozen like an icicle on the bike. "Uhhh..... Luna? You okay?" "..." "Luna?" "..." Crescent leaned over to her as he snapped his fingers in front of her snapping her back into consciousness. She shook her head to regain the images in her head as she open her eyes to find Crescent mere centimeters away from her muzzle. She blushed immensely rose as she started to sweat down bullets of bliss. "You okay?" He simply asked with an eyebrow raised as Luna waved her hoof. "Y-Yes, I am alright." She clarified as she got off the bike. "Where are we?" She asked as she looked around to find a massive body of water. She could see salty water, and rocky living beaches as it was smooth like a rug. "Welcome to the beach. Well it's not an ocean beach, but it's a lake beach so....yea, it's technically a beach." He shrugged as he took off his hoodie and placed it inside backpack. He pulled out a large towel from his backpack as he walked over to the sandy beach. Luna limped which caused her to lag behind the human, the human chuckled at her struggle as he walked up to her and offered a hand. "Here, lemme help you." He offered as Luna blushed and placed on of her hoof on Crescent's hand. He gripped her hoof as he turned around, reached behind him with his other hand and grabbed Luna's other hoof as he pulled her towards his back and carried her by his back. "There we are, now c'mon." He announced as he carried the blushing alicorn closer to the beach. Luna could feel herself melt like a blissful of chocolate as Crescelt laid her down on top of the laid out towel. "There, welcome to the Silent Cove." He said as he sat down next to the alicorn, Luna looked over to the water as she could see the mountains and a beautiful sunset glazing the red sky with a blanket of warm air. "It's...so...beautiful." Luna awed in amazement as Crescent gave a long yawn. "Uuuuahhh, Sorry about that. I'm a little tired." He said causing Luna to giggle, she gave a small soft yawn as she tilted her head causing Crescent's lap to become a pillow. "Can I lay here? My wings still hurt, as well as my leg." Luna asked as Crescent shrugged. "Go ahead." He said with a small blush as the two gazed upon the glazing sunset. About half an hour passed as Crescent continued to gaze at the sun, but he could feel a slight breathing on his side, he looked down to find that Luna fell asleep on his laps. He chuckled in joke as he took his hand and brushed it against Luna's sparkling blue mane. He could feel it soft like fire as he looked at her face. I-I guess she's....pretty cute. Woh there, isn't that like, kinda wrong. I'll tell you what's wrong, my life. I can't live like this anymore. True....true. Heh, I bet you can't kiss your sleeping beauty. I bet I can. Crescent looked at Luna who's face was up towards his. He leaned in as he quickly cocked back in bullets of sweat. Ugh... why can't I do this?" He barked at himself as he rested back on the sand and closed his eyes but quickly shot back open as he could feel Luna's head moving around his lap. He rose up and looked at Luna who's eyes were cracked open. "Hey there sleepy head." He teased as Luna turned skarlet red as she realized where she was lying down. She screamed in embarrassment as she sprung up away from Crescent's lap and stood up. "Oh goodness I'm so sorry Crescent, I-" "Nahh It's okay Luna, I kinda enjoyed it." He said with a smirk as Luna blushed at the comment. "Umm... you actually enjoy me sleeping on you?" She asked in a blushing tone. "Yea, I mean you sleeping on my lap is like my dog sleeping on my lap. Or like my ex." "Y-Your ex?" "Yea..." He started in a law tone as he sighed with disappointment. ", I used to have a girlfriend, it didn't work out." "What happened?" "Well, she started to act all prissy and like she had power over me, plus she kept spending my hard earned money and she kinda used me." "Used you? For what?" "Two things, money and sex." "S-Sex?" "Yea, she only appreciated me for my looks. Guess I was duped." He said with a lone tone as Luna scooted next to him and wrapped her hooves around him with a hug. Crescent felt a slight blush as he could feel the pony's soft fur pressing against his sides. He sighed with comfort as he returned the hug back. "Thanks Luna, that's the first hug I've gotten in a long time." "You can get more if you come with me to Equestria, especially from me." "I'd Love th-" Crescent was suddenly interrupted as he could feel Luna's lips suddenly press against his. In two different ways he could feel the kiss being strange, but also being perfect. Many minds were mixing and racing around Crescent's mind until one simple thought smacked him upside his brain. Eh, what the heck. He shrugged in his mind as he gave up and let Luna kiss him. Luna broke the kiss as she looked into the human's blue eyes, as for Crescent, he looked into Luna's deep turquoise colored eyes. "Wow." Was all Crescent could say as Luna gave a cute yawn as she stood up. "Crescent, I am feeling a little tired. Can we go home on your motorcycle? I would love to rind that again." Luan said as Crescent nodded. They both walked back towards Crescent's motorcycle as they strapped on their helmets and zoomed back towards the human's home. They arrived as Crescent got off, he looked at Luna who was half asleep during the ride. "Can you carry me to my room Crescent? I am really tired." "Sure." He chuckled as he picked up the alicorn and carried her in her bedroom. He placed Luna into her bed as he tucked her in like a little child. He nodded at Luna indicating his leave as he started to walk out the door. "Wait!" Crescent stopped a few centimeters outside the room as he looked at Luna with a raised eyebrow. "Is....is it okay if you sleep next to me?" She asked in a nervous tone as Crescent looked at Luna for a pausing moment and chuckled. "Sure." He answered in a soft but loving tone as Luna scooted a little bit to the side leaving Crescent room to lay down. Crescent came to the bed as he opened Luna's blanket cocoon and crawled inside next to Luna. He laid next o Luna as she could feel Crescent's soft breathing against her neck. "Hey Luna, can I tell you something?" He asked as Luna remained silent, there was no movement from her. "Luna?" He asked to himself as he looked over to find Luna sleeping in the bed, Crescent chuckled as he wrapped an arm around the pony and put his mouth close to her ear and said, "I like you, and I mean like like you." He whispered as he closed his eyes and soon drifted off to sleep. "Me too." Luna whispered without the human hearing as she floated towards her sleep.
Chapter 4Chapter 4: Family Reunion Crescent was the first to wake up, again, he looked over to see Luna sleeping next him with a smile on her face. Crescent relieved a sigh of passion as he got off the bed and walked into his room, he looked at his calender and gave a heavy sigh. "So, it's that day already huh?" He smile turned to wither as he took another pair of clothes and walked inside the shower. He turned the valve to find a shocking surprise, the water was cold, Crescent quickly leaped out of the shower and started to shiver with antonym scalding water. "Ahhhhhh!!! COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COOOOLLLLDD!!!!" He screamed in stinging pain as he ran out of his shower. "Good god that is cold!" Luna burst through Crescent's door with worry as Crescent quickly noticed her presence. Crescent forgot that he was... present in his form, he quickly reached out for the nearest towel and shrouded his area to prevent any more embarrassing moments. "Ah! L-Luna, please, don't you know how to knock!?" Crescent screamed in embarrassment as Luna flared up and hid her eyes with her hoof. "I-I-I-I'm sorry Crescent, I-I-I-I heard a scream and I thought you were in trouble." "Hang on, lemme get some clothes out, please keep your eyes closed." Luna followed as Crescent quickly grabbed his jeans and zipped them on. He also grabbed a random T-shirt from his drawer and put it on. "Okay, your good. You can look now." Luna let go of her shielded hoof as she could see a fully clothed Crescent. "Oh thank goodness, I am most sorry Crescent." "Don't worry you didn't know. It was just a cold shower and I jumped out of there." "Why was the shower cold?" "I don't really know, ah well I can take one tonight." He calmly said as he reached over to his drawers and pulled out a silver tall bag. "Hey Luna, I'm going to go somewhere and I kinda need to do this alone, do you mind if you stay here for a bit." "No, not at all, I can stay here." "Thanks Luna, also could you please leave my room? I need to change." He stated as he started to blush a little. "O-Oh yes, of course." She clarified as she started to walk out the room, then she could see in the corner of her eye, a calender with red Xs and one single O, it was on today's date. She walked out his room and closed the door and trotted around the house. I wonder where he has to go? I do not know, did you see his calender, there was a few markings as if it was counted down. I must check on him. But your magic and leg is injured. I don't know, I don't feel any more pain. Luna said to herself as she concentrated on her horn, it started to shimmer as she picked up a nearby apple. Okay, basic spell, transformation. The apple flashed as it was soon replaced with an orange, she peeled the orange as she lucked a slice and ate it. Mmmm, success. But what of my real power? She asked herself as she quickly walked inside her room and closed the door. She slowly unwrapped her bandages as they became cool with breeze. Goodness that feels good. She said as she stretched her body and sat on her haunches. Her horn glimmered as the door locked and several objects began to swirl around her. Now for the real test. She said to herself as her eyes beamed heavenly white and a white bubble shield surrounded herself. Luna woke up in a different world, she could see two massive oval like circles both with moving images. She walked up to the open ovals as she could see a road with a dark shade of black shrouding it. This must be Crescent's eyes. He's going somewhere. Luna thought to herself as she walked away from the eyes and suddenly found herself in Crescents home. I'm back? That's not possible, I- "Hey Loan....I uh....I got bad news..." Luna looked at the corner of the wall as she could see Crescent talking on his small device, she could hear a voice, an older female voice coming from the device. "Yea what is it?" "It's mom, I....she...she's....she won't make it to your grand opening..." He said with tears rolling down his cheeks. "Wait...no...please no...she can't... she just..." She sounded broken. "Just come over, I already told Don and he's on his way. He had the same reaction." "..." Crescent set down his device as he walked into the next room, there laid an elderly man with tears rapidly rolling down his cheeks as his eyes became red. "Hey dad, I know it's sad that mom's dead, trust me, everyone's depressed." "Son.." He spoke in a weak tone. "I'm proud that you decided to stay with me. I knew that you were my favorite. I promise you, one day I will free you from this home. I always wanted you to follow your dreams....but I always slowed you down. I promise you that I will break you from our wasteland of a home. I promise you" He slowly gave a long breath as he looked at his son. "But one last thing son, your mother, she wanted you to have her amulet. The crescent moon one, she always said "If this moon is special from the others, then it should go to someone who is special."" His father repeated as he gave a small cough. "Promise me son, that you will find that special someone, and give that person this amulet. I don't care if he's gay, or a best friend, just please promise me.." "I promise dad, I promise." Luna couldn't help but place a hoof on her mouth in shock. Suddenly, in a flash of light, she could find herself in the same room. Except it looked older, the wallpaper was scrapped, chipped, and or ripped. The floor boards were even missing some plank. But then Luna saw Crescent as he started to weep painfully on the same bed his father was on. His father laid on his bed, his hands were together as they both laid on his stomach. No movement, no noise, not even a voice slipped through him, just utter silence and peace."Noooooooooo!!!" Crescent cried through sobs as his father was thought to be asleep. "Dad, please don't go! PLEASE!!!" There was no response, Luna walked over to Crescent to try and place a hoof on him for comfort. But her hoof simply fazed through his body making him feel nothing. Crescent stood up as he ran through Luna and stormed out the door, the depressing rain poured on him as they tried to mask his tears. Crescent continued to sprint as Luna followed, he reached the nearest liquor store as bought a massive bottle full of tequila. He ran outside as Crescent completely chugged it down and fell to the floor, having his forehead bleed. "Quick, call 911!!!" The cashier screamed in horror as a white and red box like vehicle drove in and and took Crescent away. My goodness, Crescent never told me he had to suffer through this. Luna said as the setting changed, she now found herself back outside, but this time, she could see Crescent wearing a nice suit. She could see that he was standing in front 4 tombstones, each labeled with Different names, but all the same last names. Is this his... She paused as she looked over to two different tombstones, both read Don and Loan, Luna had heard these names. These must be his older siblings, I feel awful for Crescent, for what he's been through. "Hey guys, it's me again. Happy birthday to... me again..." W-What? H-His...his birthday is today? Crescent looked over to his mother's and father's graves, he gave a sly grin at it as he placed a flat hand on his chest in respect. "Hey mom, hey dad, I think I found that special somebody to give the amulet to, she's not...human.... she's something more. She's a pony name Luna, and she's from a whole 'nother world, and she's a princess. She's nice, funny, and she's really caring, plus we have something that we love in common, the dark skies, the stars, and the moon. She...she like... completes me, y'know?" He finished as he looked over to his sibling's graves. "Hey Don, I bet you're partying hard up there eh? Well, I've been taking your advice, treat my life like a video game, going 100% synchronization, it's sorta working out, but I can't say that's it's working well." He said with a sheepish grin as he cleared his throat. "Loan, I've been working hard just like you told me too, and the restaurant's been doing great, they just got another deal and they're gonna open another one in New York. Business is good there, it's almost like they don't need my help anymore, which is good." He finished as he dropped to his knees and masked his face with his hands as small drops of sadness and depression skimmed through his fingers. Luna could feel nothing but feel pity for the human, suddenly a flash like beat pulsed through her ear as she found herself outside. She could feel the rain touch her, and hear sounds of shatter and depression. Standing in front of her was the Crescent that was weeping over his family's grave. "C-Crescent?" Crescent flinched as he faced towards Luna, she was standing right there in front of him. He became shocked, her bandages were gone and she was out of the house. "L-Luna, why are you-" Crescent was interrupted as Luna wrapped her arms around the human with care and pity. "L-Luna, please tell me, why and how did you get here?" He asked through shock as Luna couldn't help but cry for the human. She stood up as she wiped off any remained tears. "I saw something marked on your calender and you looked different. So I used my magic and went inside your mind, and please forgive me but, I saw your memories. After that I teleported here because I care for you... Crescent please forgive me I-" Luna was interrupted as Crescent pressed his lips on Luna's. She could feel Crescent's tongue prod and swerve along with Luna's tongue as she returned the gesture and played along. Crescent released his mouth as they both breathed heavily for air, Crescent looked through Luna's turquoise eyes as he smiled. "Thank you." Author's Note Redone by Moi XD Yep just a new chapter and rewriting and editing the original story. Nothing to major just trying to extend it.
Chapter 5Chapter 5: Thank You "Thank you." Crescent said in a warm felt tone as he collapsed on the wet grass. Luna's eyes shrunk as she hurried to Crescent's aid and lifted him up with her magic. She carried him under a nearby tree as she laid him down on the partially wet ground. She patted a hoof on his cheek to try and wake him up. "Crescent! Crescent! Crescent please wake up!" She pleaded as she placed her ear on his chest, she could feel no breathing from the lungs. She quickly placed both of her hooves on his chest and pressed down for him to gain air. She pressed her lips on his as she blew out her breath to donate her air, she released he lips as she repeated the same process. "Please! Please! Wake up!" She exclaimed as she raised both of her hooves together and slammed them down on his chest causing him to spring up in shock and pain. "Arrrghhh!!" He gasped in relief as he exhaled with safety. " *cough* *cough* Oh god... *couch* what happened?" He asked as he looked at Luna. "You just fainted and you couldn't breath! I gave you CPR and well... the rest is history." Luna said in a worried tone as Crescent sat up, drenched in rain as he looked into Luna's eyes. "Thank you Luna, I almost went to my family. Guess, it's not time for my visit yet." He said as he stood up and wiped off any raindrops from his eyes. Luna did the same as the two walked towards Crescent's motorcycle. They both sat on the bike as Crescent revved it's engine, or tried. "C'mon, girl c'mon." He struggled as he repeatedly revved his engine on, hoping to turn it on. This was frustrating for the human. Crescent turned his handlebar one last time only to be deceived by his failed vehicle. "Damn, the bikes dead." He checked the gas meter only to find a needle pointing to a big E. "Dammit, I forgot to get gas." He sighed heavily as Luna placed a hoof on his shoulder. "Worry not Crescent." Luna said as she flashed her horn teleporting the two back inside Crescent's garage. Crescent gave a smile towards Luna as she giggled from her spell. "Thanks Luna, if you hadn't use your spell, we would've been sick by now." He said with a chuckle as Luna followed with a giggle. The two got off Crescent's bike as they walked inside the living, Crescent took off his jacket and threw it on the couch. "Luna, I'ma go take a shower. If you need anything, just yell out." Crescent informed as Luna nodded and trotted into the 'tribute room'. She picked up a different game, it was a white disk with red lip like mark on it. "What in the moon is this?" She looked at the label of the disk. Hot Luck Rated A for adult Contains explicit material Could this be a video game? It's rated A and I am over 1000 years old. Luna placed in the disk inside the console as she sat down and watched the screen. ----10 minutes later---- Crescent stepped out of his shower with steam blazing our of his bathroom. He put on some clothes as his stomach rumbled with greed. "Guess it's time for dinner." He said as he started to walk down the hall. He could hear some groans and moans from the tribute room as Crescent raised an eyebrow in confusion. What the hell is going on in there? He walked towards the doorway of the tribute room as he could see something shocking of him. He could see Luna watching a pornographic film, he was becoming a little aroused that his friend started to spring up. Oh shit! He quickly covered his area as he ran towards the kitchen as he tried to picture what he saw out of his head. Was she- Calm down! Calm down? CALM DOWN!? I Just saw Luna watching a porno! How the hell did she find that!!! Remember, you had that secret stash. NOT HELPING!!! Crescent argued with himself as he picked up a kitchen knife and a pulled out a few veges from the fridge. He chopped up Lettuce, carrots, broccoli, green onions, cilantro, cauliflower, and zucchini. He placed them all in a large pot and he poured vegetable broth and stirred the broth mix. She then put in some sauces and some herbs as the broth turned to a spring green color with chopped vegetables surfacing on the top. He then started to slowly and deeply breathed. "Okay.......okay....calm.....calm." He sighed in relief as he took a small spoonful of the broth and sipped it, he smiled at his flavor's success as he whipped his hands. "Perfect" He said to himself as he walked into the garage. ---Meanwhile--- "Princess, it's been a month and Luna is nowhere to be found. I think we should-" The guard paused as the princess look at him in the eye that could kill a manticore. "NO! *Ahem* I mean, no please. We must keep looking." Princess Celestia said in a desperate tone as she gazed out towards her sister's moon. "Oh Luna, please be okay." Celestia begged as she started to weep for her sister's disappearance. "P-Princess?" The sun goddess paused as she turned around to find her niece Princess Cadence and Shinning Armor both with sad looks on their face. "I-I'm sorry princess, but I think it's time to-" "NO! Shinning Armor you are the captain of my royal guard and you will do as I'm told, just, please.... find her." She pleaded as Cadence trotted over to her crying aunt and place a hoof over her neck. "It's okay auntie, she's okay, I promise." Crescent prepared a scrumptious dinner with rice, vegetable soup, and baked potatoes as he set the silverware and china down on the table. "Luuuna, dinner time." Crescent said with bullets of sweat filled with embarrassment. I'm reaaaaally hoping she doesn't hate me for that DVD she found. Crescent slowly walked towards the tribute room as he slowly shimmied against the wall. Oh God, please don't hate me. He hoped as he tilted his head and peaked from the side of the doorway only to find that Luna was missing? Huh? Where's Luna? Crescent checked around the house and could find no trace of the pony. He heard a vocal voice coming from the outside. The voice sounded like an angel, beautiful and elegant as Crescent tried to follow the voice. He walked outside to hear the vocal becoming stronger and more beautiful. He ran up his wall and climbed up to his rooftop to find Luna sitting on his roof staring at the moon. She was singing a song, a song that was beautiful and lovely that it hit Crescent in his heart. "Well that was something." Crescent complimented as Luna turned around in surprise as she blushed with embarrassment. "That was beautiful Luna." "Oh um.. it was nothing, really. I just, wish I was back at home." Luna said as she looked at the moon. It was still full and shun bright upon the two. She shed a small tear as Crescent approached her, crouched down and placed his arm around her neck. "Don't worry, you'll get home, and I'm coming with ya. Remember, the wormhole thing is still lit, and you look normal already." Crescent said with a smile as Luna followed. "Has your magic fully recovered?" "Yes, when do you want to leave?" "Maybe tomorrow night, I just want to spend one last day on Earth y'know?" "Yes, I understand." Luna said as she rested her head on Crescent's chest. Crescent felt a beat in his chest and he took his hand and brushed his palm on Luna's navy neon blue mane. "Welp, it's dinner time." Crescent said as Luna removed herself from Crescent's chest and flew down the building. Crescent simply jumped off and rolled on the ground as he landed. Luna sat at the dinner table as she eyeballed at what Crescent had prepared. "What is this you have prepared Crescent?" "Well, I've prepared a vegetable soup with rice, and baked potatoes stirred with sour cream, chives and butter." "What is this rice you speak of? It looks like paste." Luna said as she confusedly gazed at the rice. "It's kinda like grains, plus it goes good with almost anything. Also a great source of carbohydrates, and it's from another country called Asia. Give it a taste." Luna did just that as she levitated a small amount of rice and placed it in her mouth. It felt partially sticky but edible as she examined the tastes of the white food. She swallowed the rice as she tasted her mouth but found no passion. "It tastes plain, as if there's no flavor." "Well, it's mostly used as like stomach filling food, try it with some soup and veges and you'll get the idea." Crescent recommended as Luna placed a small clump of rice in her bowl and poured soup and vegetables in. She lifted her spoon with her magic as she tasted the combination, in a mere half second, her eyes sparkled as she could feel an all new taste with the food as she continued to eat in a scrumptious expression. "Oh my word Crescent, this is delicious, *mmm* Where did you learn to cook so well?" "Well it's a little bit funny, but I kinda wanted to be a chef." "Ooo Do tell, I want to hear this." "Well, I was in culinary school and I studied and chopped to the best of my abilities to become a chef. And when the years passed, my skills improved. I eventually entered a tournament, there was a lot of pressure on my but I topped it all off with a bang." He said as he threw his spoon in the air, making it spin as it landed in the mush of his baked potato. "I won and I got a degree to enter the best culinary class in the world." Crescent paused as he took a bite from his rice stew as Luna became a tad impatient. "So what happened next?" "Well here's the funny part, it was my like....60th day there and I was making a souffle. Then uhh.... I kinda blew up the kitchen." He said as his cheeks blushed in embarrassment causing Luna to giggle for the human. "So they kicked you out for blowing up one kitchen? How did that happen?" "Well, y'know those volcano projects? Y'know, the ones with baking soda in them?" Crescent asked as Luna nodded in remembrance. "That's kinda how my souffle ended up, don't know how but straight after that I got kicked out." "Oh, well I'm sorry." "Don't be, I never had a chance anyways." "Don't say that Crescent, I'm sure you would've had the chance." "Yea... but it's good that I failed." He said with a soft tone as Luna placed a hood over her mouth in shock. "What? Why would you say such a thing?" "Because I wouldn't have met you." Crescent said as Luna's heart pumped full of passion. The two continued to eat and chat as they finished. Crescent piled up the dishes on his arms as Luna aided in levitating the dishes. "Thanks Luna, just put them in the sink and I'll wash 'em." Luna nodded as she placed them in the sink and trotted in the 'tribute room' with bloody and happy expectations. Crescent started to scrub the dishes and place them in the washer as he paused halfway and gave out a yawn. Whoa whoa, gotta wash these dishes. I'll just...rest...my...eyes... ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz A shattering noise rang through Luna's ears as she peaked her head out from the tribute room to find that Crescent was slumped over his sink as the water poured down onto his face, but he didn't wake up. Luna giggled for the tired human as she turned off the sink and levitated up Crescent, she carried him into his room. She tucked him in as she gave a quick peck on his cheek, she closed his door and crawled up next to the human, snuggling him. "I love you Crescent." She whispered as sleep soon shrouded her eyes. Author's Note Welp here's another chapter. Hope you liked it :D
Chapter 6Chapter 6: Home Not So Sweet Home Crescent fluttered his eyes opened to find that he was in his bed, he could have sworn he was washing the dishes a second ago. He rose up from his sheets and heard some mumbling noises. He looked over to his left to find Luna wrapped around his arm, he slightly blushed but giggled at the sleeping beauty. He gave a quick peck on Luna's cheek as he got off his bed and covered Luna with his blanket. He took a fresh set of clothes as he entered the shower. He turned the valve as he felt the blazing rain shower him, he endured the burning pain but also gave a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Luna soon slowly creaked open her eyes as she rose up her head. She could hear the sprinkles of a hot shower being active. She yawned as she soon trotted into the tribute room, she then noticed another white box, but it wasn't the Xbox 360. "What is this?" She closely examined the mysterious white box, it was slanted and looked like a parallelogram. She pressed the button on the top which labeled 'power' as it blinked green as a bright blue light surround the front of the box. Luna moved back in defense but found that the white box wasn't a weapon. "Is this another video game?" She turned on the T.V. as she could still see a plain black screen. Luna 'hmm'ed in confusion as she looked at the text labeled at the bottom of the box. "Wii" She read as a white rectangular block was next to it, it was also labeled 'wii'. "Could this be the controller? Quite odd for a human's hand." She said as she pressed the power button the activated the controller. But the monitor was still black as paint as she looked at the buttons on the bottom of the television, she scratched her chin as she wanted to press a button, but couldn't chose which in fear that she might break something. "What is this input?" She questioned as she pressed the button which caused the screen to turn white. She could see a very decorative screen, filled with boxes of unknown modern human knowledge, unknown towards Luna knowledge. Luna held the controller like stick sideways as she tried to move the control pad, but nothing happened as she raised an eyebrow in confusion. "How does this 'thing' work?" She tried to move and control it in several different ways as she pointed the black end at the television. There seemed to be a hand with a number 1 labeled on it. Luna moved her control which move at the same motion on the screen. "What is this?" She moved around the hand as she smiled at the technological amusement. "This is amazing, how humans could achieve this is beyond my mother's knowledge." She moved around the hand as she hovered it over the box on the top left, she figured that the A button would be the primary button for the gaming device. She clicked the box as the screen zoomed into the box which enlarged with as she pressed play, making the screen turn black. "Oh no, did I turn it off?" But suddenly, the screen smoothed into a scene, it showed a boy in green sitting on what looked to be a horse, almost like an earth pony. She didn't know what to press as she stop to figure to see that the screen and boy began to move. She could see the boy riding the horse on the bridge. She could see the two travel all across a land that was bathed and glazed with a honey like sunlight. She thought that the land looked beautiful as the pair has traveled at the edge of a cliff. "Does he not know that that cliff is dangerous?" Luna said in a worried tone for the boy as the camera focused the pair, but found them travel off screen as the camera moved along the sun dew land. She could then see a wolf, as it howled towards a beaming, gold wall of light, howling as if it hates it. "Where did the wolf come from?" Luna asked herself as she read the title and it's instructions. "The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess? A strange title." Luna held the remote as it instructed her to press A and B at the same time, which she did as instructed. Crescent had finished his shower as continued with his morning routine, he brushed his teeth and wore fresh new clothes. He then went to his closet as he reached out a gym bag, and a travel bag. He started to pack his essentials, like a toothbrush, shampoo, soap, towels, and most importantly, clothing. He packed T-shirts, jeans, cargos, jackets, sweaters, button ups, socks and especially multiple pairs of boxers. Hmmmm... now that I think about it, Luna loves my video games. Yea she does, but it's not like Equestria has a television or any fancy computers or something. Yea, she probably gonna miss them, what're you gonna do? I guess I can like dress up for her, y'know cosplay? Or something.... Euhhh.... that's weird. So? We're all weird in a way, that's what makes us normal. Ain't that the truth. After Crescent had 'bro fist" with his inner self, he had packed a week's worth of clothing to re-use and recycle if necessary. He wanted to pack a few things from his 'Tribute Room', he still wanted the spirit and possibly the appearance of the assassins, after all, it was his favorite video game of all time. It has beaten his second spot of 'Legend of Zelda', which was fun but.......Assassin's creed is just better. Infact he can hear the good times that 'The Legend of Zelda' has given him.......... .........Hang on, he can hear them. Crescent had raised an eyebrow in confusion as he walked inside his 'Tribute Room' that he discovered that Luna was playing his 'Nintendo Wii'. Crescent's mind was racing with contestants of confusion, that he didn't know what to say now, other than "uhh...." Luna turned around to her surprise as Crescent was speechless. "Oh Crescent, I was...uh........" Luna couldn't scavenge what to say. She had just played a new machine of Crescent's without asking, she felt like a burglar. "I uh...... I apologize Crescent, I just wanted to try something new." Crescent raised his hand in acceptance. "No worry's Luna." He said as he sat down next to her. From Crescent's view, she was on the setting of when the hero known as Link is currently training with a wooden sword. "So, you started huh?" "Yes, I was very intrigued at this device. It's almost as if it's magic for humans." Luna said in astonishment as she raised her remote and nunchuck and followed the instructions of combat. "So are these humans as well?" Luna asked at the characters who were talking to her. "Yea, though some are and some aren't. Like it was thought of as a myth, but some humans knew magic, they were known as elves. From what I can remember, they would have long pointed ears." He said as Luna swung her remote as her character lashed his sword at the practice dummy. "Amazing!" Luna admired as Crescent giggled at her childish reaction. "Hey Luna, I'm going out to buy some essentials. Is it okay if you can stay here by yourself?" "Yes, I will be fine." "Cool, and don't use magic please." He said as Luna giggled. Crescent applied on some clothes as he entered his garage, he picked up a green diesel with straps similar to a backpack. He applied the gas can backpack as he opened his garage, left, and closed the garage. He started to walk with his hands in his pocket past his deserted neighborhood, houses were cracked, chipped, broken, and gone. He would only see a few people, barely he could recognize. He walked for what felt like fifteen minutes as he approached a gas station. He saw only 2 pumps and a car outside which was being pumped. But the owner of the car wasn't to be seen. "Where the car's owner? The car would've been stolen by now." Crescent placed down his diesel can next to a free pump as he entered the shop. He walked up the the clerk as he pulled out five dollars. "Just about 2 gallons." He said as he passed the money towards the clerk, who cashed in the money a flashed the price on his register. "91.10$" Crescent's eyebrow cocked at the insanely large price. "What f- 91.10? That's high way robbery." He said as he frowned at the clerk who's face started to sweat. "91.10$" The clerk repeated as he placed a two fingers over the period and the 0 on the price. Crescent squinted his eyes as he closely looked at the price. 911 911!? He looked at the clerk in shock as he eyes seen to point below him. He fingers only stuck out a thumb and index indicating a gun. Crescent nodded at the clerk as he walked around the store. "Actually, lemme buy some booze while I'm at it." He said as he walked towards the bathroom. He lied back against the wall as he panted heavily with choice. Crap, a burglary! What are we gonna do!? Okay okay hang on. We gotta stop this. Crescent said as he looked around the bathroom to aid his survival. He found a small red crowbar with a steel colored hook in a tool box, no less than at least 7 inches long. He picked up the crowbar as he noticed from shattered mirror glass, he picked up a small but skinny piece as he wrapped the bottom part with toilet paper, making a makeshift shiv. He wielded both makeshift weapons and held them tight as he brought along with his, a bottle of whiskey. As he reached the clerk, he placed the whiskey on the table as pulled out a few hundred dollar bills. He quietly brushed his finger against the clerk's table, it was made out of wood and fiber, weak enough to punch through. Crescent raised his foot and waited for the frightening moment. He slammed his foot against the boundary of him and the robber as her heard a "Uaghfff!" Come from him. The clerk burst for the door as he ran for his life leaving Crescent to deal with the robber. The robber got up as he pointed his gun at Crescent who couldn't feel nothing but shock. He started to sweat with beads full of fear. "Alright man, you better give me those hundred dollar bills!" He demanded violently as Crescent pointed at the counter with the bills, still placed there. The robber turned away from Crescent as he saw his chance. Crescent took the crowbar as he swung it over the firearm as pulled it away from the robbers hand, letting it slide far across the store. The robber then pulled out a knife as he swung it towards Crescent with his right arm, he counteracted as he caught the knife with the hook of his crowbar as he brought his shiv toward the bicep of his arm. The shiv easily pierced through the skin and muscle as the blood soon poured and spat out with pain. The robber screamed and grunted with pain as Crescent brought up the crowbar and hacked the edge of the hook onto his neck, causing him to spurt out blood from his mouth and fall to floor, only to have blood slowly dripping out of his mouth. Crescent had just realized what he had just done, he had just killed someone. Crescent felt sick, he just committed something he thought he would never do. His hand shook with fear, he dropped his weapons as his breathing took to heavy steps and bumpy breaths. He slowly with floods of liquid fear walked towards his gas can and filled up the can to the top, hoping not to get caught with stealing. Oh God... now I'm....stealing. Calm down, it was just self defense. Yea, but self defense doesn't kill someone!!! But he could've killed you! But I never wanted to kill someone! Look, it was either you or him! I mean would you want to give Luna a gallon of grief!?!? Crescent heard that, he heard that with his heart as Luna flooded his mind. He gave a gulp as he strapped the gas can to his back and with all of his strength, sprinted back towards his house. Hopefully, no cops saw him. Luna was continuously playing Crescent's game known as Twilight Princess, her motions kept flailing her wii remote and pushing the nunchuck, as she had gotten far in only fifteen minutes. Heck, she was at the part where Link had been imprisoned inside the 'Twilight Realm' and had first met the twilight being by the name of Midna. At this moment, she had just begun to escape from the castle's dungeon, or at least the sewers. She continued to play with a smile of amazement as she heard Crescent's garage door begun to open. She paused the game as she trotted to meet Crescent with glee, only to find him within a flood of sweat. "Crescent? What's wr-" Luna was interrupted as Crescent swiftly gave a tight embrace onto Luna. She was slightly confused but turned to shock as she could feel tears, drop onto her coat. "Crescent." Was all she could muster to say as she embraced the human and gently patted his back for comfort. His crying continued for minutes, Luna continued to conform for her crying human, but she didn't know why he was crying. "Crescent, what has happened?" She asked with a sad look as Crescent scavenged and hiccuped at his words. "I.....I....I will tell you later Luna. Just....please, I must take a small nap." Crescent said as Luna gave a nod in respect to Crescent's choice. She trotted back into the 'tribute room' as she continued to play Crescent's Wii. As for Crescent, he walked into his room as he slumped onto his bed and screamed with violence and bloodburst through his pillow, strong enough to make his throat sore. Luna perked up her ears as she silently flew to Crescent's door, she leaned in her ear as she could hear sobs of misery. Luna turned the knob and slowly creaked open the door, she peaked in only to see Crescent was lying face flat on his pillow, fighting something. Author's Note I apologize for the long wait, but school sucks. No more info needed.
Chapter 7Chapter 7: Out with the Old, In with the New Crescent had been in his room for quite some time. Luna had become concerned. Sure, she loved the amazing human technology that has evolved throughout the age of space and time. But she mostly cared for Crescent, seeing as the two became very close lately. Luna came to Crescent's door as she closely leaned in her ear to hear that there was a sniffling noise. She opened the door, she watched Crescent as if his torturer had called his trump card upon him. "Crescent..." She softly spoke as she walked next to him and placed a gentle hoof on his head. "She pushed his head revealing his face, it was red along with his eyes, trails of tears began to flow down to the side of his face. Luna gasped is horror as she quickly brought his head to her chest in embrace. "Shhhh.... it's okay." "No......it's not." He spoke weakly as a few hiccups soon came after. Luna patted and rubbed Crescent on his back continuously until he felt comfortable enough to talk. He rose, breathing weakly like a fish out of his pond. Luna once more embraced him for more comfort as Crescent returned the favor. "Okay......okay....I think I'm ready." "What happened." Luna asked, holding her lover's soft gentle wet face. "I......I don't think you'll like what's happened....." He said looking away from her face. "Please, tell me. I love you and I will be here to take care of you." "I.....I k-" He paused, still remembering the past event in a flash. It was creeping against his mind....haunting him. He gulped to clear his words and he tried to make them again. "I k...k....killed a man Luna." "W-What?" Luna covered her mouth in shock and let go of her gentle hoof. "You must understand Luna, the man had a gun to an innocent bystander." "What is a gun?" Luna asked with tears slowly dropping down her cheeks. "Well, you know what a crossbow is correct?" "Yes, we have them mounted on our castle walls to protect the castle. They fire projectiles more accurately correct?" "Yes, a gun or firearm as it was called first, is around a hundred times worse. It's light, powerful, and easy to use. It can kill anyone with just one flinch of the finger, and boom. A metal pierce round goes through you, and could kill you almost anytime." He paused as he held his head which started to fall with guilt and depression. "He had the gun to an innocent so I had to act. I took and crowbar and bashed his head till it....broke apart like a watermelon." Luna's eyes widened as she wrapped her hoof around her lover's hand and pulled his towards her chest. Crescent continued, "I had to do it Luna... it was either he takes the life of an innocent and me, or I take his." "It's okay, I understand Crescent." "No Luna it's not okay. I could have reasoned with him, I have blood on my hands now Luna." Crescent looked at his bare hands, there wasn't literally blood physically there, but he can see splashes of red murder on his hands. Luna embraced him harder, for his cold murder haunted him. She wanted to warm him with her love, hoping it would ease his mental scar. Crescent sobbed again. "I'm so sorry Luna." "Crescent, look at me please." He stared deeply into her turquoise crested eyes, feeling the flow of trust from her. Luna placed a gentle hoof on his cheek. "There are things throughout my years that I have not been proud of. Things I've done, that can never be undone. Believe me, I know how it feels, to sculpt death." Luna had also shed a tear, she could remember what she had done, as her darker, grimmer side. Nightmare Moon. "But I also remember that I had no choice, to save others from the menacing, and somethings......just sometimes, you have to do it by any means necessary." The two stayed in the same position for what felt like hours. Time had gone by, the cold air was beginning to thicken on the two as their skin harden and shivered with cold. "Thanks......Luna....." Crescent felt.....something warm, as if he could forgive a thousand sins. But the pressure was too much for him to bear at the moment, and he just fell on his sheets. "Crescent!?" Luna first shot in worry but found that the human was still breathing and well. She smiled with relief as she applied sheets to the human and came to his ear and whispered, "I can wait one more day or two, Equestria isn't going anywhere." Luna left the room as she silently closed the door behind her, she trotted her way back into the so called 'tribute room' and continued to play her video game. ---Meanwhile--- "Anything girls?" Twilight asked her friends after they all gave a long search for the princess. "Because Spike and I found no trace of her, or her magical presence." "Nope." Applejack Sadly reported "Nothing Twilight." Rainbow Dash dropped. "Anything Shy?" "I'm....sorry, my furry creatures and I couldn't find anything....sorry." "It's okay darling." Rarity chimed in to cheer on for Fluttershy's attempt of search. "I couldn't find anything girls." "I can't find any trace of her, I even checked at the wall!" Pinkie exclaimed as her friends looked at her in a confused fashion. Twilight dragged her hooves across her face as she weighted her cheek on her hoof in frustration and depression. "Equestria needs her girls." She "We all know Twah, I'm sure the princess is fine." "Thanks girls, I hope she's fine." ---Back on Earth with Luna and Crescent--- Crescent woke up in a small daze as he rose from his bed. He looked out his window to find that morning had already struck. He found himself in the same clothes from the other day. He sighed at the thought, what happened at the other day will stay that way, and hopefully away from him. He moved out of his bed, scratched his eyes to scrape off some barnacles and walked out of his room. Down the hall he walked and stopped at Luna's room. He peeked inside to find her sleeping soundly and peacefully. He sighed with relief, knowing that she's still here with him. He went back to his room, took fresh clothes, took a shower, and then proceeded into the kitchen with a special surprise in mind. He opened his fridge and retrieved sour cream, eggs, cream cheese, a lemon, and butter. He then reached into the cabinet and took out graham crackers, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon. As for Luna she woke up shortly after, yawning after a good sleep as she could hear a engine whirring sound coming from the kitchen. She leaped out of bed, shook her head around to regain herself as she trotted to the sound. She found Crescent working on something in the kitchen as he added the last ingredient to his mysterious mix. "Good morning Crescent, what are you making?" "A special thank you present." He said as he took a spoon filled with the mix and handed it to Luna. "Care to taste the mix before it's baked?" Luna nodded as she levitated the mix into her mouth as she tasted the mix. It was sweet with a small kick of tang, she also tasted a small punch of lemon on it as well. "This is delicious.....wait a minute...isn't this-" "Cheesecake!" Crescent exclaimed as Luna rushed towards Crescent and pressed her lips against his. Then connected her tongue with his, but she still had the cheesecake in her mouth so their kissed turned out sweeter than usual. To both of them this was new, but they let it slide and played along. To Crescent it felt amazing, sweet, and saucy in a way. In the end the two departed lips as half of the cheese cake went to Luna, and the other to Crescent. The two giggled and laughed at their little stunt as the kiss was something they've never attempted with any other. "That was...new." He chuckled and smiled as Luna followed with a giggle and pecked him on the cheeks. "I love cheesecake, but not as much as I love you." She admired as she snuggled her muzzle to his chest. "I'm going to continue that little video game of yours. This Twilight Princess is very astounding and somewhat graphic in a way." She said in hype as she trotted to the 'game room' as Crescent could hear Link's roars and Midna's giggles. He took the bowl of cheesecake mix and brought it to a cake-pan with a crushed graham cracker bed. He buttered the sides of the pan to prevent stick as he poured the mix onto the cracker bed, letting it slide across the cracker and spread evenly inside the pan. He took a rubber spatula and started to swerve it on the surface of the mix to evenly distribute the height of the cake. "Done." He then took the pan of cake and carefully placed it inside a hot oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. He then closed the oven and set a timer on his phone for fifty minutes. After cleaning up the mess he had produce, putting back groceries, and taking out trash, he took out a few strawberries, bananas, and chocolate syrup from his fridge. "This i'll be the best cake I've ever baked." He admired to himself as he thinly sliced the strawberries and bananas which only took a sort amount of time. He finished the produce slicing as he finished the preparations for the cake's toppings.......now he was bored. "Damn....what to doo......" he looked around the room for something to pass the time. "Games? Nah, Luna's playing and I don't wanna interrupt her." His eyes then were attracted to his room as he remembered something. "Crap I gotta pack more, more clothes maybe." ---later--- "Okay so I triple checked my luggage. Three sets of shirts,pants, underwear, socks, and jackets/hoodies. Toothbrush and paste, and a razor and shaving cream. What else should I-" Crescent's ears twitch at the sound of bones cracking and swords stabbing. The sounds made his nerves shiver but his brain pulse an idea. He walked inside his tribute room as he took unnecessary but in lack of better words, awesome essentials. In a separate bag he packed his costumes and outfits from the assassin's creed franchise and a few weapons from his tribute room. After checking his list he had three luggage bag; one with needed clothing; one small one with hygiene essentials and medicines if needed; and one with assassin's creed weapons and clothing. "Oh shit..." Crescent clearly hadn't thought this through, he realized that all of this luggage is to heavy to carry, and he can't put it on the motorbike. He had a car but the engine is broken. "Crescent?" Crescent turned to fined a concerned Luna as she found the three bags we was going to bring. "What's wrong?' "Well I want to bring all this stuff to Equestria with me, but I nor my bike can hold all of this." Luna only giggled at his situation which Crescent took insult to. But Luna giggled for a solution, she shimmered her horn as all of Crescent's bags levitated, slowly they were shrinking and shrinking until they were the size of pocket watches. Crescent's jaw dropped almost to the floor as Luna levitated them onto his hand. "W-W-What in the-" "I shrunk them, do not worry Crescent. They are still there and you can fit them into a portable bag with you. Then once we get to the castle I can re-size them for you." Crescent gave sighed in relief and gave a small smile at Luna, he also tipped her with a peck on her cheek causing her to blush. "You're the best y'know that?" "I know.....Crescent......what happened with you? You seem.....different." Crescent left the room but he stopped his tracks from Luna's question. He gave a heavy sigh and continued to walked down the hall. He sat down on his couch heavily sighing more as he wiped and dragged his face. "Well....I've been thinking about what you said, the thing about "saving others from the menacing, by any means necessary" and well.....I think you're right. You're words have made me a changed man, and that when in danger people need to be saved. Even that one man taken hostage." Ding!!! Both Crescent's and Luna's ears twitched as Crescent's head lightened up. "Cake's done!" He said bolting towards the oven and grabbing a pair of oven mitts. He turned off the stove, and set a rack on the counter. He open the stove as the wave of heat brushed his skin. He grasped the hot pan and set it down on the rack as he pulled out a toothpick and dipped it in the puffed cheesecake. He waited a few seconds as he pulled it out to find that the toothpick was clean. "Yes!" Crescent's excitement took him over as he lifted the pan and placed it inside his refrigerator causing Luna to whine. "Aww but I want some cheesecake!" She pouted as she quivered her lips giving Crescent a puppy dog face. D'AAWWWWWW Crescent screamed in awe inside as his he felt his heart pound rapidly. And then, a sudden pulse of pain and he grasped his chest in revolt towards the pain. "HNNNNGG!" Luna gasped in horror at her lover's pain. "What's happening!?" Crescent only gave a few coughs as the pain soon subsided. "Ugh, *cough* that was weird. It's like I had a small heart attack, who knows how that happened." He theorized as Luna gave a small peck at Crescent's chest. "Did that make it better?" She asked with a warm smile as Crescent returned the favor with a hug. "Yea....it did. Now about the cheesecake, it's still warm and it's gotta cool down to have that nice cool affect and pudding like texture." "How long will it take?" "About 15-20 minutes. So we can eat that and then get ready for tonight." Crescent said with determination as Luna had a small concern look on her face. Crescent caught that look as his determination and excitement turned to concern and fear. "Luna....whats wrong?" "It's just....are you sure you want to do this." "..." "I mean, I'm fairly certain that you can never come back to this world after this, are you really sure you want to do this?" She repeated her question as Crescent gave a heavy sigh and smiled. "Luna, I've had to weigh so much pain against my back and shoulders, but when you came into this world...I can't tell you how much pain has been lifted. It's time that I forget this past and start off with a new leaf. As people would say, 'Out with the old and in the the new'." He said as he held her hooves causing Luna's face to become beet red. "And you've become the angel in my life, lifting me away from my pain like a crane. So to answer you're question. Yes, I am completely sure and I am ready to leave this world for good. And I'm not turning back, EVER!" ---The Following Night, 'Moving Time'--- "Everything packed Crescent?" Luna asked her human. Who has a backpack strapped to his back. "Yep, I've gotten pretty much all my things ready thanks to that spell of yours." "Are you sure I can't bring the games? I love them so!" She begged as Crescent slowly shook his head. "Sorry Luna, I would love to bring the games yea, but they'd be pretty much useless. I mean I don't think your Equestra has electricity to power my tv and video games." Luna stopped for a second and thought for a while. But then an idea came to be. "I know, our scientists do have a generators, although they are prototypes. And one of my good friends owns one for her own personal research." "Well alright, if you know it generates power and if you know that it might work then I'm down for the idea." Crescent allowed as Luna quickly flew to the tribute room, flashed his technology, and carefully levitated the tiny electronics into Crescent's backpack with a big smile upon her face. "Welp....hope these don't break along the trip." He hoped zipping up the backpack for the final time on his Earth. "Okay, now do we take your bike?" "Yea, put on the helmet and get on the bike and wait for me. I gotta grab something." Luna complied as she walked in the garage leaving Crescent alone to the house by himself. He walked around, the memories that were made, the fights, the dinners, the parties, the friends......his family....all no more. Not in this house. He gently placed a hand on a random wall of the house. "I guess this is it, if anything I'm sorry guys. But I don't want to live here anymore. I may sound crazy but before I move from the house permanently, lemme just say." He paused, placed his forehead on the wall, a tear flowing down with sadness but happiness. "I love you all..." He release he hand and entered his room. He approached his closet and moved away his excess clothes until he dug up a small black safe. There he punched in a special numbered code that followed him all these years. 9-12-15-22-5-21-1-12-12 He opened the safe as it unveiled a single amulet. The pendant was a midnight blue sapphire in the shape of a crescent moon with a silver outline. He picked it up and placed it in a small box and placed it in his backpack. He gave a heavy sad sigh and stared at the safe with a smile. "Thanks Mom, love ya." He grabbed his helmet and left his room entering his garage where Luna sat patiently for him with a smile. He took his gas can and filled his motorcycle's tank to the top. As he got on and revved the engine, he walked out his bike and closed his garage door. And then he left. Rain soon showered the neighborhood as lightning drummed around the sky. Then a single bolt boomed on top of Crescent's home, then the sides, the lawns, until his house was is a bonfire. Crescent didn't want to see it, he felt as if it was a message, as crazy as it was. He continued to drive with Luna as the rain strangely subsided quickly until the two reached where the portal was last seen, the park. "Okay so what's the plan again?" Crescent asked. "What I'm going to do is keep the portal open, but we're going to need lots of speed. So we need to rush into the portal because once its fully open, kaput its gone. According to my calculations the portal should stay full open for 5 seconds and we need to force ourselves in. Once we're through, we can live happily together." Luna put in a nutshell with a smile as Crescent revved his cycle once again in determination. "Alright! I'm ready!!!" Luna nodded as her horn sparkled causing the portal in the small distance to glow. Crescent revved his engine and hit the gas as the the motor vehicle stood on it's back wheel like when a horse stands on it's hind legs in pride. The bike rushed towards the portal as it became increasingly larger by the second. "Almost........theeeeeerrree!" She screamed, continuously pumped magic to the portal as the two's speed increased within miles per hour. The portal then expanded to a massive size, bigger than both Crescent and Luna as Luna gathered all the energy she had for one final push. "IT'S OPEN! GO CRESCENT GO!!!!" Crescent roared as her pulled has gas to the max, going to a near seventy-five miles per hour as his bike hit the surface of the portal. Like a knife, it slipped through the portal as it closed in a blink of an eye. No Crescent nor Luna could be seen anywhere, but only a long line of fire and a license plate at the beginning of the trail of fire. On the side of Equestria, it was dark and night time as Luna's moon glowed the night sky. But Luna wasn't there, yet. The portal from Earth had peaked, then ripped open as a large metal object holding two live forms emerged, flying from the portal. The sound of an engine out of Equestria roared throughout the night sky as it landed on the ground. Crescent immediately slammed his brakes as the pair began to slide on the rough dirt surface until they fully stopped. Crescent and Luna just sat there on the motorcycle breathing heavily from the amount of pressure and relief that had slammed upon them. Crescent took off his helmet, apparently with all the adrenaline he had sweated a tsunami. He looked around him, he was surrounded by grass and plains, but left to him was a small town with a few lights on. And among the far distance, a massive castle hung on a mountain surrounded with gleaming marble that glowed in the night. "Damn.....did we do it? Is this Equestia?" Luna looked at the moon, she knew it was her moon. She'd recognize that moon anywhere, and the castle was her's and her sister's. "Yes.....yes this is Equestria." "Huh, looks like earth to me." Crescent said as he looked at Luna. "Welcome home Luna, now which way do we go? That castle of yours?" Luna slightly shook her head in disagreement. "No, I must visit one friend before I go back to the castle. Please head in that direction." Luna requested pointing at the small village ahead of them. "Okay." Conveniently for Crescent's bike, there was a slightly clean dirt road in the plains, he followed the road and stuck to it as it lead him the way to the small town. "So what's this town called?" "A small town called Ponyville. I have really good friends living here." Ponyville? Seriously, that name sounds like little girls made it just off the fly. I mean seriously in a world full of ponies, I'm pretty sure a town by the name of Ponyville would sound very cliche. But Crescent Didn't care, not one bit. He drove his bike to the town but as they reached the tip of the town he stopped and turned off his bike. Luna questioned his actions but Crescent quickly explained. "Better not to disturb the sleep." Luna nodded as the two walked side by side. Crescent held a hand at Luna's neck, rubbing her in a pet sort of way, his other hand however held his bike and walked it as if it were a horse. As for Luna, she tried to resist the urge to moan, for it would be too embarrassing. "Okay, stop here." Luna said. The two were in front of a massive tree house, or house of a tree? Whatever it was, it was called a library, according to the sign. "Welcome to Golden Oaks Library. The home of my good friend Twilight Sparkle....oh and Spike as well." She said walking to the door. Three simple knocks with her hoof was enough the pop the lights inside the library. "I'm coming I'm coming!" Said a child like voice. The door opened revealing a small lizard like creature, also known as a Spike. Although Spike was too busy rubbing his eyes from the barnacles, he didn't see who was at the entrance and grumbled. "Ehm shrry but the Library is Clshsed. Cm back in like ten hrs." "Spike." Luna said in a calm and happy tone. Someone she knew for once after weeks of Equestrian isolation was there and here. And for Spike, his eyes popped up as he saw Princess Luna, the once missing for so long. "P-P-P-Princess.......Luna!?" He was in utter disbelief. No words and random thoughts came to his mind. Was she real? Was she fake? Was this all a dream!? "N-No, No this can't be real. Am I dreaming?" Luna quickly pulled Spike towards her with a big embrace and tears. "Its real Spike, I have returned." Spike who tried to be manly, couldn't help but leak tears for the missing princess. "Where is Twilight? I can imagine she is in a more worse state before I disappeared." "I-I'll get her!" Spike said, in a cheery tune ignoring the spectator Crescent. He ran into the library as Crescent and Luna walked in, Crescent being a gamer was amazed at the massive tank full of books in the library. It made his gamer head hurt. "TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT!" A click from upstairs snapped as small and low sounded clops could be heard. "Ughh!! Spike what is so importa-" She stopped in her tracks as she rushed and stood in front of Luna. Her mouth gaped open in complete frozen shock as her mind stood completely still. With a frazzled mane from stress and bags under her eyes, she looked like she was busy and stressed. "Hello again, Twilight Sparkle." Luna spoke to her, who was also smiling at her, happy to see her favorite unicorn. "I deeply apologize for my absence without official leave, I will explain fully to what happened to me, where I went, and who I found. This here is-" Luna stopped as she took another good look at Twilight, she was frozen. Not literally, but metaphorically shocked frozen, as if somebody burned out the last neuron in her brain. Spike walked over to Twilight as he gave her a poke. But she slowly fell down on her side, legs still straight and stuck in a standing position and stayed statue. Silence slowly filled the room, crickets rapidly "qwee'd" as Crescent had small guts to break it. "Soo.....is she gonna be okay?" Author's Note Here's the thing and go ahead and say you don't like this chapter. But I don't really like to write sad and depressing parts, but it feels well tied into the story since I wanted to give Crescent a much depressing past. Don't like it? Get out and don't ~~bitch~~ complain about it. Also, huge apology for the looooooooooooooooooooooooong gap, mainly because I have way too many stories to focus on, I've been working alot, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNND I'll be attending BABSCON in San Francisco.
