The rest of the Train ride went on uneventful. Save for some tricks and pranks from Vinyl. And some slight teasing from Octavia, over my old nickname.

The train was just pulling in to Manehatten station while I was checking with the Conductor. Apparently since we were delayed, it was rather late. 'Obviously.' And therefore couldn't call a wagon to get around the city.

I made my way back to the cabin where the two Mares were waiting patiently for my return. I was getting nervous. Why? I have no clue. Probably because we were about to walk the streets of a, relatively, dangerous city. At least at night.

Or maybe it was how I was going to explain to Element about why I'm back from the dead. Assuming he heard of my, untrue, untimely, demise.

I approached the door and knocked. Taking a breath to calm my nerves, I opened the door.

"Hey, so good news, and bad news." They looked up at me.

"Bad news first." Vinyl explained. I nodded and thought for a moment.

"Right, well. Bad news is, the city is dangerous at night, and we cant get a wagon." Octavia stood up grabbing her Cello.

"And the good news?"

I perked up and smiled. "We're walking!" I was a little to excited with my tone. "How is that 'good news'?!" Octavia wasn't pleased she had to walk apparently.

'Oh no! She might scold me to death!' I sarcastically thought. Goddess I was in a bad mood. Being so nervous about everything…

"Because. We, get some exercise! Stretch those legs! Fill our lungs with, slightly smoggy, Manehatten air!" I cheerily explained. Vinyl only giggled at us. I turned around and started walking out. "See you out on the platform."

I walked off the train and took in my surroundings. The station was well lit, lined with Royal Guards and a few local population. Elements Inn and Pub wasn't that far from the station. Thank Goddess. I walked up and took a seat on a bench, facing the darkened roads of what was Manehatten.

A few minutes went by, Vinyl and Octavia were still on the train. 'Probably talking or some shit…Wherein Tartarus are they?!' I looked back at the train to see the Mares in question step off. They made their way over to me and smiled.

"So, how far is this place your dragging us to?" Vinyl asked. I looked up at her, she had a bright smile and her eyes showed to much happiness. "Looking like that, your gonna get mugged before we reach the end of the road. But, luckily for us, we have no money. So.. they'll just kill us instead. BUT, to answer your question. Not to far. Just a few blocks down."

Her expression was different now. Her eyes were widened, and she had a mild, shocked look going on. "Better, but, try to look more angry." I said getting up and walking into the darkness. "Coming?"

I waited in the dark street as the two just looked at each other, silently communicating. Eventually they both started walking to me. I continued my venture down what was 7th Ave. Elements was on 13th.

We walked in silence through the dark, eerie, streets of Manehatten. My eyes wandered between ally ways and the street before me. Ever watching for potential threats in the cover of night.

We made it to 10th Ave without any incident. But, like always. Somepony wanted to try her luck mugging our group. My eyes scanned an ally, but nothing was there. But, a faint glow illuminated from behind the garbage can. We all started to glow a dark green color, and Octavia and Vinyl were lifted in the air. I remained on the ground, 'The fuck?' I darted of to the side and waited patiently.

Vinyl and Octavia struggled against the magics field. "Foxx! What the Hay! Where are you?!" Then out from the ally, a Green Unicorn came walking up to the two Mares.

"Look what we got here boys!" Two Earth Ponies came out the same ally chuckling loudly. "Two pretty looking Mares, Outsiders too. Stupid Bitches!" The two Earth Ponies went to check their belonging as the Unicorn Mare kept up her magic.

I took the opportunity and flew up to the roof tops for a better view. The Ponies got Vinyls jacket, and Octavias Cello case.

"Don't you touch my Cello!" She screamed. 'Wrong move Treble Clef…'

The Unicorn looked at her in disbelief. "I'm sorry. I wasn't aware you were in charge around here. Lemme put you down and apologize. Oh wait, FUCK YOU!"

She grabbed the Cello case and opened it. "I'm going to enjoy your face as I smash this into tiny bits." She laughed menacingly.

'Well, time to dance.' I flared my wings and jumped off the building. The two Earth Ponies were laughing as they watched the Unicorn toy with the Cello.

I came crashing down on one of the Earth Ponies. I landed a foreleg on his spine, right between his shoulder blades. A loud crack was produced, followed by two thuds. His limp body, and mine hitting the ground.

The other Pony reacted, and threw a punch at me. I ducked under and threw an uppercut. It landed with a loud pop. He collapsed. The Unicorn Mare spun around in shock.

"What?! How!? You shouldn't be able to move!" She shook in horror. Her dark green magic aura surrounded my body.

"Lunas magic protection spell!" Vinyl blurted. The Mare backed up.

I stared into her eyes, shaking my head. "No, that ran out after breakfast."

The Unicorn Mare levitated the Cello in front of her. "How then!?" She coward as I approached. "Put the Cello down, nicely.

And MAYBE I'll let you go."

My voice was calm and collected. The Unicorn on the other hoof, shook at my sight. She thought of my offer, putting the Cello back in the case, she pleaded.

"Please! Please let me go! I…I swear…This will never happen again!" I walked up, pushing the trembling Mare over. She let out a small yelp as I pressed my hoof into her neck.

"Wait..Plea…I..ack!" She struggled to gasp for air as I crushed in her throat. She flailed around under my weight, eyes wide, filled with fear.

"Foxx! What are you doing!? Stop!" Vinyl yelled. "Black Foxx! Let her go! Shes learned her lesson!" Octavia pleaded along.

Both cries went unheard to me. I continued my assault until a tear escaped her eye. I silently gasped and retracted my hoof.

But it was to late. She was dead.

Vinyl and Octavia were released from her magic and fell to the ground. Vinyl got up and slowly made her way to me.

She placed a hoof on my shoulder. "Foxx?…" I just sat there. Staring at the Unicorns corps.

"13th Ave. Take a left. You'll see Elementals Inn and Pub. Ask for my room. The passwords, Aonair." I got up and looked at her.

My eyes were half lidded, lifeless. But what stood out the most, was their new color. "His eyes…They were dark…dark violet…" Vinyl confirmed to herself as I walked off into the dark abyss.

Octavia put her Cello away and walked over to Vinyl. "Is…he ok?" She turned around to face her. "I don't know Tavi…Lets go. 13th Ave is this way."

Vinyl and Octavia made their way through the streets to Elementals. It wasn't that late, but it was freezing out this night. Vinyl pushed the door open and entered the inviting Inn.

Octavia followed suit and looked around. There were many Ponies sitting at tables drinking and laughing. Four Mares were going around attending to them. One noticed her and walked over.

"Hi! Welcome to Elementals, Names Fire Flame, how can I help you?" She smiled through her Orange mane at Octavia.

"Yes, thank you. We would like a room please. Bla.." Fire Flame pointed to the Bar counter. "My father can help you with that. I only do drinks around here. Sorry."

Octavia smiled. "Its quite alright. Thank you." Vinyl took the lead and walked over to the Stallion behind the counter.

"Excuse me, we would like a room." She said to him. The Stallion looked up and smiled. "Oh, didn't see ya there. Names Element. What kind of room you need? One bed, or two?"

Octavia stepped up. "Actually, we need Black Foxxs room." Element raised a brow. "Oh uh…He said the password was 'Aonair'. Whatever that means." Vinyl chipped in.

Element relaxed, but still was wary.

"News was, Foxx was dead. You sayin that aint true?" He spoke soft. Octavia shook her head. "No, he's very much alive. Unfortunately, he went off on his own after….he saved us from some Ponies."

"He…Looked kind of weird too." Vinyl added. Element looked at her. "What do you mean?"

"Well..his eyes… It was like he wasn't even there… Yet he was, at the same time. And, they were a dark purple color." She explained to him.

He simply nodded. Looking down in deep thought. After a moment, he reached down and placed a key on the counter top. "Here's the key. Its room 13. Just up the stairs, and down the hall. Have a good night." Vinyl took the key and watched as the Stallion walked over to one of the Mares and talked.

Octavia made her way towards the stairs. Vinyl followed and together they made their way to room 13.

Vinyl slid the key into the slot and turned it. A soft click echoed in the air before she opened the door. As they entered, they noticed it looked more like someponies room, than a regular Inn room.

The bed was huge, easily fit six or so Ponies. The walls were lined with weapons and armor. A Dragons skull hung on the wall besides the door.

"Wow…This is where he stayed? What is all this?" Octavia said to nopony in particular. Vinyl went over to the closet and found a large safe. "Wonder what's in here? Bits probably."

Octavia set her Cello down by the closet and sat on the bed. Vinyl joined her and laid down. "What's wrong with him Octy?" Her voice cracked. Octavia looked back to see her on the verge of tears.

She laid down and grabbed Vinyl, pulling her close. "I'm not sure Vinyl…But I hope he's alright…"

I walk in a haze. Not really sure as to where I'm heading. I try looking around, but all I see is blurry shapes. Yet everything is so clear…Like I'm not really here. Like it's a dream….

'SHIT! I didn't lose control again, did I?!' I turn into what looks like a park and tumble over a tree root.

I lay there. 'I feel exhausted, what the hell happened back there? Last I remember was the girls being… OH SHIT THE GIRLS! Did I hurt them?!'

I try to get up but just end up falling on my face. I try over and over again, gaining the same result. I try to get up for Goddess knows how long, finally a hoof touches my back. I look back to see a Stallion picking me up. He starts talking to me.

"Hey Foxx, its me Element. Remember? Come on buddy, talk to me!" He shakes me a bit.

"I….Elemen…Wha…" I fumble with my words. To exhausted to actually talk correctly. He slaps me hard across the face.

"FOXX!"

My eyes were wide open and I was seeing clearly. I blinked a few time turning my gaze up to him. "Element? What in Tartarus happened? The…the girls! Are they alright?!" He lets me go and sits down.

"If you mean the two Mares that asked for your room earlier, then yeah. They're fine. At the Inn right now."

I give a heavy, stress filled sigh. 'Thank Goddess..' I look up at him. "Where am I?" He helps me up and I lean up against him for support. "State park. Not to far from the Inn, come on." We slowly made our way back.

"What happened Foxx? The Mares said you saved them form someponies." I close my eyes as we continue the walk. "I…lost control again…someponies tried to mug us. I killed them…" Element was silent. We just walked in silence.

I looked up at him, he was smiling. "You should really keep your eyes like this. They suit you way better than brown." I scrunch my face up in confusion. "Just forget about the whole thing. You saved the girls right? No real harm done. Though your gonna have to explain the whole, well, thing with you."

I nod my head and look up to see the Inn in front of us. "Sweet Water is going to freak when she sees you." Element smirked. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

"FOXX!" I instantly tacked by four Mares. They all hug me except for the light blue one that's kissing my face aggressively.

I raise a hoof towards Element. "Helmmmppff mmpff." Is the only thing I'm able to get out before smothered by another kiss. But he just stands there, laughing at his four daughters as they assault me.

Cheers erupted from the crowed of ponies watching from the tables. Everything from, "Glad to see you!", and "Lucky fucker!", to "Hey your Alive!". I try my best to wave towards them over the multicolored Mares.

'Light blue with Purple mane? Sweet Water. Red with Orange mane? Fire Flame. Green with Brown mane? Earth Beauty. White with Silver mane? Calm Air. The only Pegasus out of the sisters. My four favorite Mares…'

"Ahem…" My train of thought was broken by a familiar voice.

I managed to get the Element sisters off me, but they still held on to me. I looked up, slightly blushing. "Um…hey Vinyl…Octavia…"

They looked amused so at least I wasn't in trouble…At least not now.

"So uh, enjoying yourself?" vinyl asked, trying to fight back a fit of laughter. Octavia on the other hoof, was giggling with a hoof up to her mouth.

"Two more Mares?! Foxx buddy, your killing us!" Some random voice shouted from the audience. Making the room fill with laughter, followed by another complement. "Add them to the list of 'Foxxs Off limit Mares'!" Which made them burst out louder.

'Damn drunks…'

Looking back at them I noticed how embarrassed they were from the comments. I took this to my advantage. I smiled at Sweet Water, getting her to let go. Walking up to Vinyl, I yell.

"Damn straight!" They both started blushing profusely. "This here is Scratch. And that there is Treble Clef. The two most beautiful musicians in Equestria!" Everypony kept laughing, causing them to blush even more than I thought possible.

"Hahaha…Leave them alone Foxxy. You'll make their faces catch fire if they get any more embarrassed." Sweet Water chimed in. Making someponies voice their disappointment.

"Ha. Alright. Element! A drink for eveypony!" I scream.

"AYE!" Roared everypony.

I lead Octavia and Vinyl to a table and took a seat. They were still extremely red, and would look away whenever one of us would make eye contact. I gave a small chuckle and shook my head. Calm Air brought us some drinks and gave me another hug before trotting off.

"Quite the popular one it seems." Octavia finally said, breaking the silence between us. "I've been living here for years, only leaving for wok. You could say I'm well known here." I smile, and take a drink. They both do the same.

"Wow…this is really good. What is it?"

"Well Scratch, its 'Elementals special'." They drank a lot of it quiet quickly. "What's in it?" Octavia asked.

"Sweet alcohol, 'Water'. Carbonated water, 'Air'. Various bark, Pine, Oak, and such, 'Earth'. And hot sauce, 'Fire'. Put it all together, and BAM. Elementals special!" I explain.

Earth Beauty walks by and drops more drinks off. I finish my drink to see both of them already starting their second. 'Should I tell them how much alcohol is in this? Na…'

A few hours pass and eveypony is drunk off their flanks. In which includes the Element family. We all got pretty interactive with the other ponies. Playing games, telling stories, hoof wrestling. Not to mention singing and dancing.

I just got singing with Element and somepony named Chip, when I found Vinyl talking to Sweet Water. I walk over, overhearing their conversation.

"…and he has done that how many times?" Vinyl asked.

"Like…five..or something."

"He needs to learn to dry off before coming out of the shower. I mean, I'm not complaining, its just like really? Make a Mare excited and just walk away like its nothing."

Sweet Water giggled. "I know right!? Soooo unfair….oh, uh, hey Foxx…"

I stop in front of them and glance back between the two. They both were blushing and biting their lower lips. "Well! I heard enough of that to not get involved in this conversation!" I turn around blushing like crazy. From the topic or the alcohol I don't really know. But now I turn my gave on the counter.

Octavia sat there, swaying in her drunken state. I trot up and take a seat by her. "Hey Treble Clef." She looked at me with a dumb smile on her face. "Hey Fancy Pants!" She slurred out.

'Well, someponies had enough…' I rub her back, smiling down at her. "Having a good time?"

She plops her head down lazily and nods. "Just a little tired from all that dancing. Just going to sit here awhile and calm down…"

I heard a loud noise and looked up to see Element coming out the back room carrying a large barrel. The noise caught everyponies attention as well, place was quiet. He set the barrel down on the counter and yelled for everypony to hear.

"Been saving this for a special occasion! And with Foxx back, I thought, why not now! Come on, this stuff is on the house!"

"YYEEAAHH!" We all cheered.

He slid two mugs of the unknown liquid to us. I take it and look at Octavia. "Might as well. Cheers!" I say as we hit our mugs together and take a drink.

And at that moment. I knew we were all fucked….
