Chap 6: You Win Everyday

(A lot of time lapsing shall occur here folks so my trusty time table skills should come in handy. Try to enjoy.)

Next Day- 7:30 am.

"Geez commander who would've thought that such a thing would happen." A stallion said.

"I knew there was more to you than met the eye." Another complimented. Adam was surrounded by trainees all observing him and asking about the events of last night.

"I know, I wouldn't have guessed you guys had organizations like that. It was really bizarre to find out." Adam responded.

"All right fillies you all had yer fun. Back to work all." Sargent Ironhide commanded. "Leave the commander alone, he's had enough to deal with." They all went to different parts of the gym.

"Hey sir, it's okay if I start out training now right?" Adam asked.

"You sure you want to do this?" Ironhide asked with concern.

"Yes sir." Adam simply answered.

"Well alright then, enjoy what ever toys we got here for you to play with, no rough housin. Understood?" Ironhide joked.

"Yes sir. Crystal clear sir." Adam replied chuckling. He walked to a bench press. The bench was much different from the ones on Tierra (like the ones here on Earth), the weight was still held above who ever would lift if but this particular bench was made to stand under rather than lay under the weight. And the weight it self was different. Instead of having a straight metal tubing it instead was wavy and probably couldn't be held by hand. Adam observed a unicorn lift one of the weights using his magic. 450 lbs worth of dumbbells on both sides and he was trying his best to lift it up. "Okay I can't use this bench and these weights are obviously meant for unicorns so... ah there are some regular ones I can use." Adam walked around to an assortment of dumbbells ordered by weight. "Problem is, I aged back to being a teen so it might be a bit harder for me. If I was still in my 20s I wouldn't have a problem." Adam browsed over the dumbbells and saw a strange black cube at the end. "A box? I wonder what it's for." Adam walked closer to it and tried moving it. No budge. 'Crap what the hell is this Dark matter?' He tried again with a bit more force still nothing. 'Is it bolted to the ground or something?' Adam asked himself.

"Need help sir?" Adam looked to his right to see a unicorn cadet observing him. Adam felt embarrassed.

"Um no. I um was just getting... acquainted with the weights and such." Adam replied. "Why?"

"Well if you're trying to lift that cube good luck." The unicorn demonstrated lifting it via magic. "If you don't have magic it's almost impossible to lift."

"What exactly is it made of that it does that?" Adam asked.

"I don't know. Dark Matter?" The cadet guessed.

'Good answer, too bad I came up with it first.' Adam thought then spoke. "Heh, alright, as you were soldier, don't mind me." Adam said.

"Yes sir." The cadet walked on. Adam went to the outdoor obstacle course to look how it was organized. There were four courses.

"Let's see." Adam went to the tallest course. It went up into the clouds and had a lot of turbines on it. "Obviously this is for a pegasus. Which means this.." And went to a metallic looking course. It looked as if Aperture science had an out door testing area(No portals were used that day but you did get cake as a reward). "Unicorn area, puzzles where magic plays a part in getting to the solution." And then there was a dirt and rock based area. "This area looks like it would make a decent 3-D plat former." Adam said to himself. Sure there was a lot of jumping over pits involved but it also included going through tunnels to get to a different section and a sort of maze located below the ground. "Earth pony obstacle course no doubt about it. Why the hell not." Adam said as he walked to the course.

"Greetings sir. Will you be going through our little play pen here." A large earth pony asked.

"Indeed." Adam answered. he looked to the forth course, it was the farthest one out and it was the largest of the courses. No pony was around it. "Say what's with that track over there?" Adam pointed to it.

"Oh that's a combination of all three courses. Just as a challenge. You'd have to be a winged unicorn in order to get through it." The guard said.

"Is that why no pony's tried it?" Adam asked.

"Eyup. A couple guys did. But one got lost and the other was trapped in a room that's practically impossible to get out of if you can't fly." The pony replied.

"Hmm.. something to consider. Ah well, where do I start?"

"Just keep going straight and good luck with the maze. And don't worry about the pits, may look like a chasm but it's just a spell that makes it look like that. Just to intimidate ya."

"Alright then." Adam went on to to the course. Then Shining Armor walked walked out.

"Hey where is Commander Splice?" Shining asked.

"He just went in here Captain Armor." The Earth pony replied.

"He's seriously doing it." Armor asked in a some what upbeat way.

"Eyup."

"He does know he probably won't be able to fit in thorough those tunnels and that it's pitch black in the maze right?"

"E-nope." The earth pony said with a smirk.

Shining laughed and walked to the end of the course to wait for Adam. If he got out.

Amarezon Rainforest-

"Now to start reincarnating the fourth generation of Alphas." Niju announced.

"About time, first you make us bring... what ever this guy is back and then we do some heavy lifting and NOW you want to bring in more help. Why not bring in the first generation? TheIR bodies were made to do this kinda work." Cheetah suggested as he pulled a sled with crates and the dire wolf's body.

"First of all the I didn't have full control over the first generation, unlike your generation, my master and I had to force them to serve us." Niju responded.

"But wasn't the fourth generation also forced into serving you?" A hawk resting on Niju's back asked.

"Yes but I brainwashed them when they were newborns. All they knew was that I was their leader and that they would be prepared to die for me." Niju continued.

"Crud that meanssss we're gonna see those losersss from the fifth generation aren't we?" Cobra asked.

"Yessss we are." Niju answered. "We need as much help as possible."

"Quite a number of Alpha's you have." Ahuitzotl spoke. "By why do you have herbivores serving you?" He pointed to an antelope and porcupine moving some boxes around.

"They're very valuable alphas Ahuitzotl, Antelope can create massive tremors and knock down large object simply by bucking them or ramming into them and porcupines is a genius when it comes to defending a territory, and those spikes of his make it very hard to hit him."

"I see, are there any others?" Ahuitzotl was now interested in what Niju had in store.

"As a matter of fact yes. Very soon I shall reincarnate my next generation of alphas and you'll what each is capable of." Niju answered. "But first I need to begin devising strategies and Hawk will be the star of our first performance."

Canterlot-

12:30

"So how'd you do?" Cadence asked in a teasing wa.

"I don't want to talk about it." Adam said as Shining and Cadence laughed. "Real mature guys, I developed the worst case of claustrophobia in there."

"S-sorry Adam, it's just funny to think that you actually tried to go into those tunnels." Shining calmed down.

"Guh, so what'll we be doing today Captain?" Adam asked still a little annoyed.

"Actual I got a message from my aunt. She suggests you move in with us." Cadence announced.

"Really I'm moving out of the palace?" Adam asked.

"Not really, you'll just be leaving in a different palace." Cadence responded.

"It'll be great, we can hang out more often." Shining said.

"I guess."Adam said. Then the trio heard a grumbling sound.

"The hay was that?" Shining asked.

"Opps, guess I'm hungry." Cadence said.

"It's okay honey. I'll take you to your favorite restaurant. You wanna come Adam? My treat." Shining offered.

"Actually I was thinking of trying the cafeteria food. Y'know I'm gonna be here another month so might as well get used to it."

"Ugh, poor guy. One second thought maybe you should live in a bathroom. We'll be waiting outside if you change your mind and you WILL change your mind." Shining warned. The royal couple walked out of the cafeteria. Adam went to the food selection.

The menu consisted of small salads made with lettuce and one tomato('Aw yeah, that's definitely the coolest meal I ever saw' If you don't get that reference then you are a sad strange little man, or woman.),

A few pieces of bread that looked burnt even thought they weren't toasted,

Soup with nothing but vegetable juice in it (That's all that was in it! How bland.),

Jello that was grey (When's the last time you saw grey jello? Seriously what flavor would that even be?) it didn't even jiggle when you shook it,

Pasta that was covered in some weird sauce...(Draw your own conclusions)

and some cookies that were better off being ninja throwing stars. (What're those called again? Either way DON'T EAT IT!)

"Dear Celestia! She expects us to eat this?" Adam turned around and quickly walked out. "Hold on there, Jethro!" he called to Shining Armor about to pull the carriage away. (Again, don't get that reference? Watch more Spongebob.)

5:30

Adam had already made his way back to the palace and was talking to Princess Celestia about moving out.

"I know Adam but still it'll be more convenient for everypony." Celestia said.

"Okay princess, whatever you say." Adam said. "I'll pack my stuff then." Adam walked to his room when he saw Luna getting out of her room.

"Greetings Adam, how convenient." Luna called.

"What? Were you expecting me Luna?" Adam asked. Luna walked along side Adam as they went to his room.

"I heard you were moving to Cadence's palace. This is your last night here in this place, so.. I wanted to make it special." Luna said. Adam eyes shot open, he was near his bed, Luna was still near the door.

"Wh-what?" Adam asked nervously.

"It involves you and me over the course of the whole night," She continued "oh and there is also a matter with the bed." She said.

Adam didn't know how to react but it thought about. 'I'm not on Tierra anymore, so who gives a shit? Besides she's already asking so there's no point in saying no.' "What exactly did you have in mind?" Adam asked.

"Well maybe you and I could lay some where,"(okay)"but we would have to be rather close to one another,"(where is this going?)"or I could take you places you've never even imagined possible,"(wow)" it wouldn't even take that long."(excuse me?) "What do you think?" Luna asked still not aware of Adam's thoughts.

'The hell is she saying? Is she asking what I think she's asking? Better make sure.' "Oh, so you want to do THAT." Adam assumed.

"So you WOULD like to take a complete tour of Equestria by none other than myself?" Luna asked. Adam turned towards his bed and fell on it face first.

"GAAAAAAH!" Adam screamed into a pillow.

"Adam are you alright?" Luna asked. Adam straightened himself.

"Why yes your majesty I'm just fine." 'Thank the auras! I thought she was speaking of doing the deed, just goes to show what kind of a perv I can be at times.' Adam thought to himself. "But what about the bed?" Adam asked.

"Oh we could move it to Cadence's palace in the morning." Luna answered. "Why?"

"Nothing, nothing. But uh, flying through Equestria seems a little too much for one night don't you think?"

"Perhaps. Would you like to visit the library?" Luna offered.

"Sure, I can read up on 's Equestria's land marks for a while."

Amarezon Rainforest-

9:00

"Understand Hawk?" Niju asked the avian alpha.

"Yes sir. I shall be ready by the end of the month." Hawk replied.

"Good. Now bring that dire wolf we found in the catacombs over here." Niju commanded a couple of the Diamond Dog's henchmen.

"Is this really necessary? You got us, the Diamond dogs and their troops and your gonna bring back the Fourth Gen Alphas, " Cheetah asked as the Diamond dogs put the wolf on the crystalline floor. "Why spend the time to restore some ancient wolf?"

"First, this wolf has natural abilities that no animal today is capable of having which could be quite useful and Second, because I can." Niju answered and walked to the corpse. "So how do I reanimate him?" Niju asked Ahuitzotl.

"Focus your thoughts on resurrecting him. The device will take care of the rest." Ahuitzotl explained. The dire wolf's body began to rise and then suddenly fell to the ground.

Pompf

"Oookay. Did it work?" Niju asked. Then they heard some groaning. Niju and the Alphas walked closer to the body, then he began to rise.

"guh," he said.

"He's ALIVE!" Niju yelled out in glee.

"I...live...?" He asked.

"Wha haha! Perfect!" Niju laughed at the triumph. The dire wolf quickly turned, saw Niju, jumped back and extended his claws to defend himself. "Look how fast he was to react, what long claws he has! So cool!" Niju said admiring the new wolf's build. His claws almost a foot long.

"Wh-who are you?" The dire wolf asked. "Who am I? What happened?"

"I am Lord Niju, leader of the Lupine armies. You are a dire wolf, and respectfully to your magnificent species you shall be called, Dire. As to what happened, I resurrected you." Niju answered the newly living wolf's questions.

"If that's the case then I accept my name and I shall serve you as to show my gratitude." Dire said and bowed.

"Ah that's a good boy. Now help your fellow Alphas move this equipment around. When I'm done reincarnating the Third generation then we will move our quarters to Rambling Rock Ridge. It's closer to our target and is much larger." Niju explained.

3 weeks later-

June 7, 10XX

"PLEASE TELL ME WE'RE DONE!" Cheetah pleaded exhausted. For the past three weeks they had been in the ruins collecting more technology both found in the ruins and brought forth by Niju's memory.

'"Hmm, we have all the necessary equipment and the generations I needed are here. Yes we're done. But first, role call." Niju spoke. "Line up!" Niju commanded. The eighteen animals Niju reincarnated got into a single file line and faced him. "Third generation, Tiger, Toucans, Chameleon, Alligator, Gorilla, Boa constrictor & lets see.. Dire. Yes you are now part of the Fourth gen Alpha's." Niju called.

"ALL HERE, LORD NIJU!" They said in unison.

"Good, now fifth generation, Malamute, Falcon, Macaw, German Shepard, Bull, and Shark is in the water tank with Piranha."

"ALL HERE, LORD NIJU!" They responded.

"And of course the Second generation is accounted for. And the Diamond Dogs are also ready. Alright, all begin moving the equipment out of the ruins and take the route that Ahuitzotl planed for us. We are going straight to the Rambling Rock Ridge, we should be there later tomorrow." Niju commanded and they proceeded. "Except you Hawk." Hawk flew over to Niju. "You know what to do." Niju said as he looked at the bird.

"Yes my Lord, I will get all the avian troops and set out." Hawk responded.

"Good, but first take this to Felonius at the Eastern Ocean's ridge. They need to know of our new accommodations." Niju reminded. Hawk nodded and flew out. Niju walked up to Ahuitzotl's spirit. "Thank you for your help, we couldn't have gotten this far without you." Niju thanked.

"You are welcome. Anything for Anio's closest disciple. But you are still concerned are you?" Ahuitzotl asked.

"Y-yes." Niju looked behind him. The alpha's were already outside. "I-I wanted to bring my master back. My human master." Niju said looking ashamed in a desperate tone.

"Try and see if it will work." Ahuitzotl moved out of the out for Niju to observe. He put the collar on one last time and thought of his master.

Nothing

"What? Why won't it work?" Niju asked becomeing angered.

"Perhaps it doesn't work on these humans or it isn't your choice to bring him back." Ahuitzotl theorized and looked down at a saddened Niju.

"I'm sorry master. The only human I ever trusted." Niju said, his eyes beginning to water.

"Good luck on your endeavors Niju. You and your Alpha's are always welcome here." Ahuitzotl said as Niju walked away.

"If I ever find that boy I'm going to bite his head off." Niju threatened as he caught up with the Alpha's.

Canterlot-

June 8 10XX, 7:30 am

Adam and Shining were standing in Adam's suite in Cadence's palace. It was actually a bit wider than his old one but the ceiling was slightly lower, there was also more furniture.

"Well here you are Adam. The big day." Shining said to Adam. It was graduation day and the day Adam would be inducted into the Equine Forces.

"I know! It was like just yesterday Princess Celestia enrolled me. Time flies when your having fun." Adam spoke. Shining gave him a confused look.

"You had fun?" Shining asked jokingly.

"Yeah... I exaggerated." Adam said and the two gave out small laughs.

"Ahem, are we going?" Cadence walked in through the door. "If we're going to be back in time for the ceremonies we have to go now!"

"Oh right. C'mon Adam, It's cider time!" Shining announced.

"Where are we going again?" Adam asked.

"A quick trip to the market outside the city. It's a bit of a walk but you'll enjoy it." Shining reminded.

"Cool, let's go!" Adam said enthusiastically and the three went outside.

11:00

"Great we're still going to be late." Cadence warned.

"Shining, can't you go any faster?" Adam asked. Shining was pulling Cadence's carriage, Adam was following behind.

"Hey Adam I'm the only one pulling, were going up hill, I feel a little drunk and.." Shining stopped talking.

"AAAH!" Cadence's cart fell over.

"Cadence! You okay honey?" Shining asked worried.

"I'm okay." She responded. Adam looked at the two, then to the carriage. A wheel fell into a pit and the and axel broke.

"Damn, this isn't going anywhere." Adam said and got up. "I'll go ahead an get help, you two catch up when you can." Adam said.

"Alright, see you in a few Adam." Shining said as he lifted his wife off the ground.

11:03

"HELP!" A guard yelled as he ran down the road. Adam ran up to him.

"What is it soldier?" Adam asked.

"It's happening Commander! We don't know what to do!" The soldier cried out.

"Talk slowly, what happened?"

"Th-the Lupine Armies. They're attacking. The Birds!" The guard yelled out. "Our pegasus guards are having a hard enough time fighting them off."

"Sweet Alfred Hitchcock!" Adam exclaimed annoyed. "Why today?" Adam asked himself. "Look, Captain Armor and Princess Cadence are ahead and need help."

"I'll do what I can sir." The guard said and ran ahead. Adam continued heading toward Canterlot.

The avians were attacking all the civilians and most building had been broken into via the windows.

"BOMBS AWAY!" A crow yelled. Out of their talons fell several canisters, each either was an explosive or sprayed gas. Several guards either fell unconscious to the gas or blown away by the bombs.

"We're doing a damn good job." Hawk said perched above the gate to Celestia's palace. He looked to the entrance of the city and saw Adam. "The human!" Hawk said to himself. "Lord

Niju, I see the human, I'm going to pursue him."

"No! Pay no attention to him. Avoid him as best as you can." Niju commanded.

"Aw but c'mon I can take him. He's just standing there."

"NO! If he gets involved and he ends up defeating you, the equines will have full confidence in him and as long as he's around we won't appear to be of any threat to them. Is that clear?! DO NOT ENGAGE!" Niju scolded.

"Pft. Fine." Hawk responded. Niju ended the conversation. "He doesn't know what he's saying. I can beat him. If I do then the equines will have no one to defend them!" Hawk took off and dove toward the human.

"The heck?" Adam saw Hawk diving toward him. "Hmm this looks oddly familiar." Adam didn't hesitate in ducking to dodge Hawk's dive.

"Looks like you haven't slowed a bit Adam. But it looks like you gotta blow off some steam." Hawk yelled to the human. Hawk began flapping his wings at a faster pace creating a large draft of wind.

"Wait! Avian Alpha's have the ability to create mini cyclones!" Adam warned himself.

"Suck on this human scum!" Hawk yelled as he formed a column of air and flung it at Adam.

"Oh this blows. Your mine feather duster!" Adam said dogging any cyclone thrown at him along with the projectiles they carried with them. Right when Adam was about to punch the lights out of Hawk, the suction of the cyclone pulled Adam back and swung him into a building. Adam laid on his back and looked up at Hawk as he was about to dive back at Adam. He look around and saw a pair of shear clippers. "AHA! I remember now! Hey Hawk! Don't mind if I give your feathers a close shave ?" Adam yelled as he threw the clippers at the evil avian.

"Gah! No get those away!" To late, his primary feathers were no more. His wings were clipped. Hawk fell to the ground. "NO! Now I can't fly! don't look at me!" Hawk said in shame. The wind died down and everything in the city seemed to have calm down as well. Adam walked up to Hawk and picked him up.

"Looks like you didn't make the cut Hawk." Adam joked holding Hawk by his talons.

"Oh shut if with puns." Hawk snapped.

"I'm taking you in and...AAHH!" A raven came down upon Adam's neck and stuck its talons into his neck. "DAMN!" Adam dropped Hawk.

"Retreat! He who fights and flies away gets to fight another day!" Hawk said as he hopped away desperately trying to fly.

Adam knelt on the ground holding his hand upon his neck.

"ADAM! Are you okay!?" Shining Armor ran up to the human.

"I'm cool, just a flesh wound." Adam said.

"Worst graduation ceremony ever huh?" Shining asked.

"Certainly the most interesting one I've had." Adam responded. Shining helped Adam up and walked over to the Academy entrance.

12:00

The ceremony was kept short and afterwards was a reception. The class of 10XX was a rather small one with only four graduates, including Adam. The class took a picture with General Marsh and Shining Armor in front, the three other graduates behind them and Adam in the back.

Rambling Rock Ridge-

"WHAT DID I TELL YOU!?" Niju yelled furiously at Hawk.

"Please forgive me Niju... I-I was.." Hawk tried to explain himself. Niju grabbed Hawk by the neck.

"Your useless without your wings... but you still need to take part in our next operation." Niju said and dropped Hawk.

"So we're still going through with phase 2?" Cheetah asked.

"Yes but we'll wait till tomorrow. You all have your orders and you know where your territories are, right?" Niju asked the Second generation Alphas.

"Yes lord." They all responded.

"Hey! What about us?" Rover asked.

"Yeah. What do we do?" Fido added.

"If the human somehow manages to find us, you and your guards will protect this place." Niju explained.

"Okay. We will be ready." Rover answered.

"Good. And Cheetah," Niju called to cheetah.

"Yeah Lord Niju?"

"Tomorrow you and I are going to pay the capital city a visit."

The next day..3:00pm..Adam's suite

"To Adam! For his hard work and service toward pony kind. My his future endeavors be successful!" Celestia cheered.

"Huzzah! To Adam!" Luna cheered.

"Congratulations, and a wish of luck." Shining Armor cheered.

"To Adam!" Cadence cheered as well.

"Thanks everypony!" Adam yelled to them. (He didn't cheer unlike everyone else yeah that would be redundant). The five then clanked their glasses of cider together as a toast to Adam's induction and graduation as well as a victory party for having beaten the Avians the day before.

The four ponies used their magic to lift their glasses, Adam being the only one without magic obviously used his hand and arm to lift it to the others. He walked to the couch in his room and Luna followed and leaned on the couch from behind.

"Thank you Adam, you fought bravely and strong and now we all will be able to spend more time together now that you've grduated." Luna said to Adam fluttering her eyelashes.

"I'm sorry, Luna, but as we saw yesterday I think Adam might be a bit busier from now on." Celestia explained.

"Yeah, those birds were just the beginning, I wouldn't be surprised if they attacked tomorrow even." Shining said.

Canterlot Gardens

"I know what I gotta do." Cheetah said as he ran to the entrance of the palace.

"Is everyone in their territories?" Niju asked through a head set.

"Yes sir." They said simultaneously.

"Good, I'm going to run an 'errand' here in the garden, then I'll stop by each of your territories to give you a little gift." Niju announced to them. He walked around the labyrinth looking for something. "Where's that damn statue? Ah there it is." Niju walked up to a statue of a draconequus. "So this is the creature of chaos I was told about. Now to get some of his chaos energy and put into these little accessories." Niju said to himself as he hooked up a device to the statue.

Adam's Suite-

Adam was talking to Shining Armor and Cadence when Celestia called him over.

"It's time Adam." She said.

"Time for what?" Adam asked as he walked up to her.

"Your accolade. For having helped fight the buzzards off and your determination to help protect us. I shall give you a special blessing." Celestia announced.

"R-really. Me? A knight?" Adam asked enthusiastically. Celestia giggled and the other ponies gathered around.

"Please kneel." Celestia requested. Adam did so. "For your hard work and help in the defense against the Lupine armies, I dub you as an honorary knight." Celestia lowered her horn on both side of Adam's head.

"Awwww I'm not interrupting something am I?" A voice mocked the scene. Adam walked to the middle of the room away from the royals. Then a gust of wind blew from behind Adam. Something was behind him. "To think you could stop the Lupine armies entirely!" He said.

"WHAT! A cheetah!" Adam said. Cheetah extended his claws and slashed Adam's face then he pushed him in to the wall. He then proceeded to bolt Adam to the wall with his retractable claws.

"Hey! Halt!" Shining yelled to Cheetah.

"Shut it little pony!" Cheetah rushed over to Cadence and smacked her causing her to fly back to the wall. Shining ran toward his wife. "Ah, Princesses Celestia and Luna! The pleasure is all yours!" Cheetah ran to Luna, clawed at her and tripped her. Cheetah ran back to the center of the room and stopped. Shining Armor helped Cadence up off the floor, Celestia was checking Luna's face and Adam was still stuck sitting against the wall. "Now that I have your attention... I'm here to announce that my leader... Niju has come in the name of Lord Anio to reclaim what was his. You and this city, to say nothing of this kingdom, will pay for his defeat and banishment." Cheetah walked over to Adam and stared him in the eye. "My fellow Alphas stand ready to turn the civilizations of Equestria into rubble within the next day. Unless this bwave wittle man can stop us." He said pinching Adam's cheek like if he was a child. He walked away toward the exit. "And JUST Splice. Send any of your guards, or try any evacuations, and we start early." Cheetah stopped near the door. "I'll give you an hour to find me in Ponyville. That should be plenty of time, even for you." Cheetah said running out the door back to the gardens where Niju waited.

"Good, just enough chaos energy." Niju said as held up a glowing red bracelet above him."

"Hey Lord Niju. I did it. They got their message." Cheetah confirmed.

"Good. Wear this." Niju said handing him a bracelet.

"Why?" Cheetah asked confused.

"In time you'll find out. It's actually a surprise gift for Adam." Niju said as he and Cheetah hurried out of the gardens.

3:06

"You okay Cadence?" Shining asked his wife.

"I'm fine, but it looks like your prediction was off a day." Cadence said.

"This is terrible, they're actually going to destroy the populated areas of Equestria. There's no way this could be done in a day." Celestia said as she paced back and forth.

"I'm not gonna let him get away with this." Adam declared.

"You're right Adam, this is what you've been training for." Celestia agreed. "Follow me."

All the ponies and Adam walked to a room underneath Celestia's palace. "Adam, if you're going to fight the Lupines, you're going to need these." Celestia levitated a chest to Adam. He opened it and saw three items inside. "These are the Equine relics." The relics consisted of a pair of gloves, a cape and boots.

Pegasus cape- Allows the wearer to fly and walk on clouds like a pegasus.

Unicorn Gloves- Allows the wearer to levitate large objects, and cast spells.

Earth boots- Allows the wearer to run at incredible speeds and gives the wearer incredible lower body strength.

"So I wear these in battles and stuff?" Adam asked.

"Yes but first." Celestia walked to a wall with a metallic make up. A part of it was crystalline and extended across the floor. "Adam please take off your clothes." Celestia requested.

"Wh-what princess?" 'What is with these princesses? Always making it sound sexual or something.

"Please. We need to apply a spell on you so you're further protected." Celestia elaborated.

"Oh okay." Adam took off his thermal and pants and socks, leaving him in his boxer briefs. "Now what?"

"Wear the Unicorn gloves and stand on that crystalline panel." Celestia requested. Adam did so. "Shining Armor, apply the defense spell." Shining moved next to Adam, lowered his head and pointed his horn at Adam. His began glowing and an aura appeared around Adam. After a few moments Shining stopped.

"So what happened?" Adam asked.

"Whenever you wear those gloves, your defense increases greatly, you'll be better protected with them on." Celestia explained.

"I see." Adam responded. He put his clothes back on and stood before the Celestia again.

"There's also a spell in the gloves that allows you to copy an ability from your enemies. It may become rather useful." Celestia explained.

3:10- Canterlot outskirts.

"Adam I thank you for your efforts and I hope you return safely." Celestia thanked. "It's seems like a large responsibility, but I know you can handle it. Use the relics wisely and don't wear all three of them at the same time." She warned.

"Don't worry Princess Celestia. I shall return to you victorious." Adam said confidently.

"You're running out of time. Good luck." Celestia said.

"Yes! Please be safe." Luna cried out.

"So long guys, I'll be back by tomorrow." Adam said. He opened his cape and levitated away. He flew off in the direction of Ponyville.

"I forget, why shouldn't he wear all the relics together sister?" Luna asked.

"It's not that he shouldn't, I just hope he doesn't have to." Celestia said with concern.

GAH! This chapter is long and confusing and there are so many references to other media and there's a plethora of bad puns and uhhhh.

This is the chapter where stuff actually happened. I think I should've shortened this chapter into two. I don't know why, it just seems longer. And this little text blurb is just making it worse.

For the year and date, 10XX. Time to explain what it means. Well first XX stands for 20. 'Roman numerals' don'tcha know? And also Mega Man, get over it.

Anyways, what challenges will our Angel run into? What is with those bracelets the Alpha's have? And exactly how prepared is Niju when it comes to Adam invading his territory? And why was he so interested in Discord's statue?
