So you all have decided that you want more Aiden. Here ya go, and please enjoy yourself. Let me know what you think.
Chapter 1
Equestria, a beautiful and vast world full of things from the wildest imaginations. A colorful world, full of life, civilizations, and even the greatest power of all, magic. This world is inhabited by the creatures that we know as ponies, this was their home, their world. Though it also belonged to a mighty race of creatures that dominated the world before the ponies. To this day, they were thought of as gods, and the most beloved of friends to the ponies.
This creature was known as a human, but not just any human, an Equine human. A bipedal being of magic and great intelligence, the being that made the ponies what they are today. An intelligent, and mighty race full of Pegasus, Unicorns, and Earth ponies. A long time ago, the great Equine human race had mysteriously been wiped out by an unknown assailant. But twelve years ago, the mighty race returned in the form of an Equine boy, birthed by two earth human parents.
This Equine human's name was Aiden, and ever since an infamous moment in his life. A time where he fought for his life as a toddler against a dark and sinister foe. He had grown free and strong as an Equine, even after witnessing his own earth parents demise. He would have been dead, if not for two very kind hearted and beautiful ponies he now called his mothers. These mares were a breed of pony all their own, they were the ponies of flight and magic, the Alicorns.
These mares bravely fought as his side to save him from the dark one. Now they forever saw themselves as not just the princesses that ruled Equestria, but also his devoted mothers. To this day he grew ever so stronger in their eyes, sometimes to the point that his magic surpassed theirs. To this day, he still grows in power, but lives as a normal boy on the verge of his teenage years. A time in a child's life that parents dread, especially his own parents.
Luckily that was something that his mothers could hide really well to this day. As they continued their roles as princesses within a great white castle of gold, marble, stone and bronze. From within this castle, many golden armored guards of all kinds patrolled for passionate security. While the castle overlooked the city that grew ever so brighter and cleaner in it's shadow as they lay perched upon a great mountain. Within the halls, the princesses themselves could be found wearing gentle smiles.
One princess stood tall as the oldest, her name was Celestia, and she controlled the day. Her mane and tail mimicked the light colored rainbows that could be seen in gentle waterfalls. Her magenta eyes twinkled like the the sparkling rays of sunlight that she controlled. Her pearly white coat complimented the cutie mark of the sun she bared along with her gold horse shoes, her gold necklace and her gold crown that held a deep purple gems. Only her younger sister Luna could ever match such beauty.
Her horse shoes were like Celestia's, only silver like a silver gleaming moon. Her pitch black necklace bared a crescent moon that complimented a smaller black crown. Her very coat mimicked that of a lovely clear night sky that one could watch for hours. Her mane and tail flowed with the wind as it too represented the nights that she controlled. Together they created harmony as the royal sisters of harmony, but nothing felt more important than the child they cared for.
"Lovely day we have once again sister. Is something getting your spirits high?"Luna kindly asked in a motherly, but somewhat young of a voice.
"Well, don't you remember what tomorrow is?"Celestia asked with a more mature motherly voice.
"Oh… Oh…! I remember now. Oh dear it's getting to be that time of the year once again,"Luna exclaimed as she then nicely giggled at her own realization,"Thirteen years old tomorrow, Aiden has grown up so much."
"Indeed… A lot of the mares in Canterlot have taken recent notice as well,"Luna looked a bit smug and sly at the personal information regarding the city of Canterlot's mares,"They have all been quite friendly ever since they heard that puberty has started to occur for Aiden…!"
"I see… Will we need extra guard in case of a…"special" visit?"Luna joked and giggled like a filly while Celestia simply shuddered at the thought.
"Of course not, I'd rather personally see to any pony who tries to fool around with our son."Celestia answered and raised up her nose without amusement.
"Oh come now Tia. He's a good boy, he'd never fall for a bad mares influence,"Luna sighed and finished giggling at her over protective sister,"He may turn thirteen tomorrow, but his maturity has grown to surpass the mares that dream of being with him…!"
"I… Suppose that's true… After all we do have Haze and Faze watching over him."Celestia admitted with a sigh and brought back her smile the moment they approached a door.
"Plus Aiden isn't exactly a small and defenseless child any more… There's a reason I suggested that he took up some self defense,"Luna explained before proudly knocking on the door,"Aiden! You're going to be late for karate with Rainbow Dash!"
"I'm almost done mom…! Just need to do something with my hair…!"Came the distant calls of a pubescent boy from behind the door.
Luna decided to kindly open the door for them to check up on their child. Slowly they entered a bed room, representing both day and night, as well as harmony itself. One side of the room represented the night sky and even had a desk full of writings, and different studies. The other side was painted to represent the day, with it's sky blue look and fluffy white clouds. Where they found a human boy with neatly combed blond hair just tying on his brown karate belt.
"Alright! I'm ready! I'll be out in a second!"The boy called before noticing his mothers in the mirror next to his large bed.
"Sorry to barge in Aiden, but we just didn't want you to be late."Luna explained while Aiden sighed and quickly got a change of clothes to wear after he was done with karate.
"No worries moms, I'd never be late for some classes…!"The blue eyed human insisted as he rushed over to his mothers with his clothes in tote.
"I know… But we're mothers, and mothers are suppose to worry, I guess."Luna joked as they let the boy take the lead for them.
"Very funny momma Luna…!"Aiden chuckled as he strolled down the hall way and took in a deep breath of the new day.
They watched their son, jumping and showing off his new found skill and flexibility. At the age of eight, he began to take up karate classes after seeing numerous stories of brave and skilled warrior. Fighting and defending Equestria from the worse of the worse, and so he wanted to be like a warrior. Against their better judgment, Luna actually did like the idea of Aiden being able to defend himself. Celestia was a bit more hesitate to agree with their child knowing a form of violence.
Yet for four years of taking karate, his gentle and loving nature never changed. He was a peace keeper around the castle, and he even went into the city at times to donate to charities. In their hearts, they truly believed that their son would never change.
"So… Do you know what tomorrow is Aiden?"Celestia asked with curiosity to play the enthusiastic and encouraging mother.
"No…? Is it…my next charity event?"He asked, making Celestia choke and chuckle from the kind hearted boy.
"No… But if you want, sometime later there's a Saint Pony's Day event,"Celestia rushed to her son's side to get him interested in the holiday event,"Many ponies will gather to take on a traditional barrage of Saint Pony's day challenges to raise money for the children's hospital…!"
"That's perfect! After karate class and tutoring, can we go?"Aiden asked curiously and full of interest for the event.
"Absolutely sweetie! I'll prepare our things for a trip to the center of the city right away!"Celestia excitably rushed pass her son to get some provisions ready for their trip.
Luna could only laugh at her sister's excitement, and her son's cleverness. For she realized that he had put on an act to get his mother excited so he could keep his birthday knowledge a secret. He at least wanted to make his mothers feel like they surprised him so they could still feel like good mothers.
"So are you excited for your birthday, Aiden?"Luna asked while playfully nudging him in the back.
"Yeah, but I don't want to ruin the surprise after all the work you and momma Celestia put in to it."Aiden chuckled lightly after seeing his mother of day disappear down the hall.
Several moments later, the princesses and their Equine child arrived at the door. It slid open like a dojo door, and revealed a dojo like room where Aiden's mentor sat. They entered with smiles, greeting the old friend that was none other than the famous Rainbow Dash. Her signature strong colored rainbow mane and tail that frizzled was a dead give away to them. Her cyan blue coat complimented her own karate outfit and black belt as she opened her magenta eyes.
"Hey there princesses! Hope I wasn't late getting here for today's class,"Rainbow Dash suddenly went from peaceful to her well known over confident and cool attitude,"Twilight needed me to get the Wonderbolts ready for the…BIG event that's coming up."
"It's no problem at all, Rainbow Dash. We feared that we would be late as well."Celestia accepted the Pegasus's greeting in kind before Rainbow turned her focus to Aiden.
"Hey there Aiden, you ready for some more awesome karate lessons?!"Rainbow asked with much enthusiasm and cockiness to get the boy pumped.
"You know I am sensei Rainbow Dash!"Aiden bowed to the Pegasus before she took to the air and flew to the center of the room.
"Then get out here and show me what you can do big boy!"Rainbow encouraged before Aiden rushed to the center of the room to Rainbow's side.
The princesses appreciated Rainbow's strong and inspirational encouragement. It really got their son going with confidence, as well as promoting one hundred percent effort. They watched Rainbow warm him up with slow, but flowing punches to the left and right. It was only moments later that he was doing the punches in a fast and smooth sequence. His red belt proved the experience that slowly grew since he first started four years ago.
In his mothers eyes, he truly has come a long way from when he was two. A day that was all but forgotten by them and their child, yet it would always be a memory they carried. Thankfully another memory was currently on their mind, along with the reality of his age.
"So is everything in place for his birthday tomorrow?"Celestia asked, and gained a nod from her smiling sister.
"Of course… And he's still completely unaware of the surprise."Luna responded, bringing her sister more confidence in the surprise party they had planned.
"Excellent! This will be his greatest birthday yet…! His thirteenth birthday…!"Celestia spoke with hot excitement in her heart.
While they conversed their plans for the beginning of their son's teen years. Aiden himself had finished his warm up, and was now starting with some smooth kicks. Rainbow held up the gloves and got the boy throwing some high kicks and low kicks as strong and efficiently as he could. So far he did reveal to have a great bit of power behind his kicks. Though he was not going too hard out of concern and safety for others, too much muscle could be a bad thing for him and others.
"Not bad..! You're really getting the rhythm down Aiden!"Rainbow said with each blow she took from his kicks before she raised them to start with his punches next.
"Thanks! I only got it down because I had a good teacher…!"Aiden took a breath in and switched to firm and fast jabs left and right with flawless form.
He was almost on the verge of breaking a sweat as he went at a good, but easy pace. Punching and striking each glove, even when taken by surprise by a few required uppercuts. Finally after ducking from a light swing of her glove, he recovered and round housed one glove off her hoof. He then reversed and jumped to kick the other glove off before breathing out. Rainbow Dash nodded at his form, and already started to see him grow a bit sweaty.
"Ok…! How about a little spar for a bit and then you're free to go!"Rainbow offered while Aiden bowed in respect, then got into a stance.
"Sounds good to me sensei!"Aiden simply put up his fists to challenge the blue Pegasus.
"Play nice you two, nothing too rough!"Celestia warned before they started to spar with a bit of fast fist to hoof connections.
Their punches connected with each other, but Aiden still had the advantage. Him being a bipedal creature with the balance of his two legs allowed him to move more. He soon began to take full advantage of that as he missed a jab to Rainbow's face, but kicked the side of her right back leg. Celestia and Luna got a bit nervous whenever they actually saw blows hitting their marks. Rainbow took to the air to balance the playing field, Aiden crossed his arms to block a strong kick that forced him back a couple feet.
She threw a barrage of swift kicks that Aiden continued to take. Letting his arms serve as his shield before sprouting his arms at the right time to spread her legs apart. Allowing for him to headbutt the mare in the belly and force her back to the ground to grip her gut. Luna took a deep breath and relaxed to find the pride in her son's growing skill. While there was no steadying the worries of Celestia as Rainbow quick stepped and kicked the boy in the rear, forcing him to the ground.
"Princess Celestia, princess Luna…! Sorry for being late."Came the unison voices of two young stallions that entered the room.
The princesses looked up and turned around to meet with two unicorn stallions. One was brown with a pitch black mane and tail while the other was black with a brown mane and tail. Their cutie marks of a brown and black swords crossed together, completely covered by their armor. But there was no mistaking the confident and unison of these two twin terror. They knew exactly who these guards were, and they already wanted to try and see Aiden's spar with Rainbow Dash.
"Haze and Faze. Do not worry, Aiden was a bit late getting ready for karate."Luna insisted all was well as Aiden shoved Rainbow Dash back and saw his old friends.
"In fact you two arrived just in time for a favor,"Celestia spoke while Haze continued to try and look pass the mares to watch Aiden,"We need you two to take Aiden to tutoring with Moon Dancer while we see to some… Preparations for tomorrow."
"You can count on us princesses. We'll see him to it in no time…!"Faze promised their princesses while Haze waved to Aiden.
"Looking good there Aiden! You're really tearing it up there bro!"Haze called out before Aiden took his eyes off Rainbow Dash to wave to his friends.
"Hey guys! Wanna come in and test your skills?!"Aiden asked before paying for losing focus on his opponent.
He payed for it by taking a flying drop kick to the chest that sent him soaring. He went over his mothers heads before crashing straight into his friends. They laid in a pile, dazed and confused from the ordeal, Celestia and Luna gave soft but firm glare to Rainbow. At least until the boys were already shaking it off and looking at each other in a daze. Haze fixed his crooked helmet while Faze was first to get to his flank for a start before he could finally see things without blur.
"Not if it means we're going up against THAT mare."Faze made that much clear when it came to combat.
"But… If any pony asked what happened here, tell them we jumped in to save your moms from a falling chandelier…!"Haze begged to protect the dignity of his brother and himself.
"No problem guys… No problem at all…!"Aiden gave the thumbs up as he rolled to his butt in a daze, but still keeping a smile going.
