The Morning sun was up again as I felt it's light against my face coming in from the window, slowly opening my eyes and sitting up on the bed in one of the guest rooms of the castle I stretched and gave a loud yawn before rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I was about to get off the bed before I just let myself go back down. "Five more minutes..." I said but only five seconds after that I heard the door to my room open slowly, turning around to see it was none other than Twilight.
"Oh were you still asleep?" She was about to go back while closing the door.
"Nah I just got up myself..." I said as I beckoned her in.
Twilight walked in and sat next to me. "Did you sleep well last night?" She asked as she got closer.
"Sort of, had a nightmare last night but I'm fine now." Was my answer leaving out the fact it was about Maya's death.
"Well I'm sure whatever it was Luna must have helped you with it." I doubt it since I didn't let her do anything but at least the hug she gave me in the end calmed me down a bit. "Well shall we go get the others."
"Aren't they up already?"
"No I guess I'm the only one who's awake right now..."
As Twilight was about to get up I held her arm and pulled her into a kiss, she gave in and started kissing me back, after we separated we gazed into each other's eyes. "What's the rush..." As I pulled her in she crawled on the bed closer to me before I laid her down. "Let them have five more minutes okay love." Her cheeks turned a light pink color from the last word I said.
Our lips met once again, as we kissed tenderly Twilight's arms wrapped themselves around my neck pulling me closer, I rubbed her sides as her tongue was poking at my lips, I responded letting mine out and both danced between our mouths as I guided one of my hands to start undoing the buttons on her vest and some on her shirt only enough for her to show some cleavage.
I separated our lips which made Twilight pout cutely before I started kissing her colarbone, her hands gripped my shoulder tightly before giving a gasp of pleasure as I moved up and bit her neck, I could feel myself getting aroused by the sexy mare under me and was about to do more... Until the door to my room blasted open and in came Raibow Dash hitting two pans together along with Pinkie Pie hitting a pair of cymbals.
"Rise and Shine sleepy head it's time to get up-" Rainbow shouted out before noticing the half naked human guy on top of a unicorn mare with her shirt half open.
There would be silence in the room if Pinkie wasn't still hitting her cymbals until Rainbow poked her shoulder getting her attention before pointing to us. "What?" She asked oblivious.
A few moments later.
I was back in my normal clothes walking with the rest of the girls to the throne room while Rainbow and AJ were laughing their asses off. "Hahaha... Wow early in the morning and things were already getting spicy between you two..." Dash exclaimed before going back to laughing.
"I have to say it's quite a surprise to see you two in a relationship." Rarity said to Twilight. "Why didn't you tell us before darling?"
Twilight blushed a little before responding. "Well we were planing on it, but we decided to leave it until after we got out of the castle."
"No more reason to hide that now." Aj said nudging Twilight with her elbow. "So when did you two started getting all lovey dovey?"
"Not too long but we're working it out." We left it at that as we had arrived at the doors to the throne room and got inside to meet the ruler of the day alone this time.
As we approached the mane six took a bow while I just stood still before Tia beckoned them to stand. "I see you will be leaving now."
"Yeah..." I spoke as I took a few steps forward. "It was a nice visit princess, but I still have to work hard to get my house furnished before really moving out of Twilight's..."
"I see, and Mr. Logan..."
"Yeah?"
"Luna told me about your dream last night..." I lowered my head at her statement.
"Did she now..."
"When I banished Nightmare Moon a thousand years ago I was devastated, but I have to say it is nothing compared to the pain you must be going through..." She got off her throne and walked closer. "I just want you to know that whenever you need something, don't be afraid to ask."
"Thanks princess..." I gave her a smile to show I'm okay.
"Oooh shiny." I heard Pinkie say behind me as I turned around to see one of the tips of the star on my jacket glowing a red light until I felt a jolt of electricity flow through my entire body before it happened again.
It's time.
The familiar voice of Maya spoke in my head.
The next piece revealed itself.
"Maya wait!" I yelled out.
"Tyler are you okay?" Twilight asked me as she stood in front of me holding me by my shoulders before my entire body got a weird sensation, while I was trying to get my bearings I noticed Celestia's eyes had gone wide for a moment before she looked to one side of the room. "What is it princess?" Twilight asked her mentor.
"This feeling, it is the same I have of the one coming from Mr. Logan's magic." She said.
"The next piece..." I mumbled getting everyone's attention. "When I got my magic at the old sister's castle A voice that seemed to belong to my sister Maya said something about "a missing element" and to find "four missing pieces"..."
Silence filled the room until Twilight's face lit up. "That's it!" She exclaimed.
"What's it?" Fluttershy asked after being startled by Twilight's outburst.
"The reason why Tyler can only use three spells and he runs out of magic fast, his magic is broken into five parts..." She grabbed my shoulder and turned my back to the others. "You see right now one of the star's tips is glowing and the other four are still normal, it only became like this after we got the first piece at the sister's castle..."
"Which means the rest of the pieces must be scattered through out equestria and they will slowly reveal themselves to me, Luna and Mr. Logan." Celestia concluded.
"Well what are we waiting for, let's go get it!" Rainbow Dash was about to zoom out of the room. "Wait!" Twilight stopped her before that. "What is it!?" Rainbow asked in a hurry.
"We don't even know where to start searching." Rainbow just now realised it.
Everypony in the room turned to me as though expecting an answer and that's where the weird sensation came in until Celestia beat me to it. "I can feel it coming from the other side of the mountain."
"She's right..." I said after her. "I feel like it's pulling me towards it."
"Should I send some guards along with you?" Tia offered.
I looked to the mane six before looking back to the princess. "I think we got it."
Tia nodded in understanding. "Good luck and be safe." I nodded back at her and we left running to the other side of the mountain.
On the other side of the mountain.
Shining Armor had ordered some pegasus guards to transport us in chariots, once we arrived to the other side I told them to land on a spot where I felt the strongest conection. We landed near a cave at the bottom of the mountain, I told the guards to wait for us until we return as we went inside, Twilight and Rarity lit up their horns illuminating our way while I lit one of my hands on fire to use it as a makeshift torch.
"Urgh I sure hope not all the places your magic is hidden aren't inside dark dusty caves." Rarity said as she walked slowly and carefully so as not to get dirt in her shoes.
While walking we heard the sounds of lightning, grunting and... Goats? Once we approached the source of the sounds we came to a bigger part of the cave tha was being illuminated by a small ball of red energy, the thing is that said ball of energy was in the middle of a pit that was so deep and dark it seemed bottomless only a thin rock bridge conecting to it and there was something big grunting as it tryed to reach for my magic while it kept zapping him until the moment the big creature couldn't take it anymore and was shot backwards much like what had happened to Twilight back at the old castle but this time he hit the wall hard just beside the entrance where we stood.
When we got a closer look it turned out to be a big blue minotaur, like the girls he looked mostly human and his face would be considered human if not for the two horns sprouting out from the sides of his head which was almost bald save for a dark blue mohawk,he had a goatee beard matching his hair and his skin was a lighter shade of blue he also had a silver ring hanging from the middle of his nostrils, and I don't know if he noticed it or not, but he was only wearing dark blue pants with black formal shoes and a black tie around his neck, save for that his upper body was completely naked, and there were some goats near where he landed and as weird as it seems they were also wearing ties.
"Now listen here you little ball of light..." The minotaur huffed at the magic orb. "Iron Will knows something like you must have some value and nothing in this world pushes Iron Will around, so Iron Will will show you just what Iron Will is made out of." He finished his line and started crossing the stone bridge towards the mysterious magic.
"Who is this guy?" I asked the girls.
"That's Iron Will..." Fluttershy stepped up to talk. "He sold me a assertiveness exercise program to try and help me be more... Assertive." Fluttershy being assertive, a shy little pony who's afraid of her own shadow... Now that's something I'd pay a million bits to see.
"Whoever this guy is he sure likes the sound of his own name." I was about to step forward before Pinkie and Rarity stopped me.
"Perhaps we should come another time, maybe wait a day or two... Or a week." Pinkie said as she shivered while looking at the big guy.
"She's right darling, that monster can be quite the ruffian." Rarity whispered the last part with the same amount of fright Pinkie had.
"Sorry girls but we have to get that magic piece before we leave." I said before Iron Will got shot back to the wall again.
"Why you little. like Iron Will's catchphrases: "You make me lose, I blow my FUSE!""
"Wow what a shitty catch phrase..." I said getting a glare from the minotaur before he finally noticed our presence but his gaze was more focused on the pink haired pegasus behind me.
"Ah Fluttershy." He walked towards us before pushing me aside and picking Fluttershy up with just a single hand. "Did you come back to say you were one hundred percent satisfied with Iron Will's assertiveness exercise and decided to pay what you owe?"
"Sorry, but like I said no means no." The smile on Iron Will's face dropped before he put her down.
I patted off the dust in my clothes after being pushed to the ground by the big blue jerk. "So you're the so called Iron Will?" I asked getting close to the blue bull.
"Indeed, Iron Will's the name, Training ponies is my game!" He said before looking in a certain direction, we all looked towards where he was looking only to see nothing but rocks and shadows.
"So what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Funny you should ask, you see Iron Will was having a walk around the mountain after delivering his assertiveness seminar to the nearest town and came across a humongous boulder, so just for the fun of it Iron Will picked it up and suplexed it..." He told us his story while striking unnecessary dramatic poses. "Then after removing the boulder Iron Will found this cave and decided to explore to see if there would be anything that could impress Iron Will only to find this empty chamber. BUT! When Iron Will was about to take his leave a bright red light shined in the center and so that orb appeared-" As Iron Will pointed to my magic only then he notice that we had ignored most of his story as I was crossing the stone bridge.
After I gave only two carefull steps on the bridge I felt the back of my jacket be grabbed as I was pulled back by the blue bull. "Not only do you ignore Iron Will's adventurous story but you try to steal his loot as well." He growled as he held me close to his face.
"First of all you can't even take that thing, it'll keep zapping you away until you leave and besides what do you even plan to do with that." As I escape from his grip and start walking towards the orb again he grabs my jacket once again and forces me so stare him in the eye. "Cut in line, I'll take what's mine!" He gave me another of his stupid catchphrases before tossing me back to the girls.
I got up as Iron Will moved to cross the bridge again before I stopped him by holding his tail and pulling him back. "Listen here mate, that over there belongs to me so you can forget about taking it home with you..." I let go of his tail as he turned to face me.
"Ooohh so you're challenging Iron Will. Well I hope you ready to fight for it cause Iron Will is not leaving this place until Iron Will brings that ball of light along." He said as he started doing push ups.
"Are we gonna get it on or are you just gonna show off!?"
He huffs at me. "That's it, you better be prepared, because Iron Will is about to rain a world of hurt on you right now!"
"Are you sure you're a minotaur and not a dog, cause all I hear is "bark bark no bite!""
After saying that the girls were just wide eyed and their mouths were hanging open save for Dash who was having fun with it. "Wow, call the fire department cause somepony just got burned!" She yelled out adding insult to injury.
Iron Will became red in the face with anger before snapping his fingers and his goats brought out a boombox and pressed a button making a song play out.
(VSE Iron Will theme)
The boombox started playing a music that sounded a lot like "Eye of the tiger", I ignored as I turned my attention to the blue bull in front of me, he charged in and tried a combination of punches to my head, he was big but was slow so dodging his attacks wasn't too hard, after his fift punch I side stepped him before hitting his chest with a combination of my own, landing every hit but dealing little damage. backing away I prepared myself for another attack.
Iron Will clasped his hands together before swinging them hard at me twice missing both of them before lifting it up and about to bring it down, I rolled out of the way as his hands hit the ground causing a small tremor, taking my chance I kicked him hard in the back of his knee bringing him down to my eye level, I got back to his front and started beating his face in before he grabbed my fists lifted me up and slamming me into the ground before tossing me to the wall.
I got up feeling a little bit of pain which was weird, that was suposed to hurt more than that but to me it was as painful as a slap to the wrist, don't know if it was the magic in my body protecting me or if he's just that weak, I smiled at him before wipping the dust off of my shoulder. "Is that all you got?"
He got mad as het scrapped his feet agains the ground. "You laugh at Iron Will, Iron Will wraths at you!" Okay these catchphrases are getting annoying, he started charging at me head first ready to impale me with his horns, I bent my knees a bit as he got close enough and leap-frogged over him making him hit his head against the wall and getting his horns stuck, as he tried to pull himself free I took the chance he was bent over and the target was well unprotected and kicked him right in his junk.
Low blow I know, but all's fair in love and war right, I heard some of the girls cheering for me as the blue bull got his horns loose before holding his injured privates while glaring daggers at me who just made a "come here" gesture making him even more angry, he charged with another punching combination and as I dodge his third punch I didn't avoid the backhand he gave me sending me flying near the edge of the pit just beside the bridge.
While getting up I saw him charging head first again, I couldn't avoid it this time otherwise he would go over the edge and fall down the pit, he's a pain in the ass but he doesn't deserve to go this way but if I don't do something I'm the one going over, so taking a few steps forward I dig my feet in the ground and took his ramming charge head on grabbing him by his horns, the force managed to push me back till my feet nearly slipped off the edge.
Holding my position and tightly gripping his horns I tried not to move but it was proving harder than it looked. "If you give up, then maybe Iron Will can spare you and go back to taking what belongs to Iron Will!"
Okay I had enough of this. "Listen here you narcissistic wanker..." I said with a growl of my own. "That is no mere orb of light, it's a piece of my magic and something about it makes me hear the voice of my sister..." I gave a step forward and pushed him back until we were a safe distance from the edge of the pit. "So if you think you can take something that can make me hear the voice of my dead sister again..." With all my strenght I lift him up until I'm holding him upside down by his horns. "Well tough luck!" I shout before slamming his head agains the floor, getting his horns stuck one more time.
After this final move the goats stopped the music from playing and now Iron Will was having a harder time to get his horns out, while he was busy I carefully crossed the bridge and reached the orb of light as it flew into my hand just like last time. Just the same, I could feel my body start to be filled with magic energy as I was lifted off the ground and light shined out of my body before dropping me back down and now two tips of the star in my back were glowing.
I was about to go back to the girls until the big blue dumbass had to pull his head off the ground with too much strenght tearing a chunk out of it along with his horns causing the bridge to crack and start breaking down before letting me fall in the dark pit.
"Tyler!" I heard the girls call out to me as I fell.
It's not gonna end like this.
The voice of Maya rang in the back of my head again.
Three pieces left, find them and rebuild the missing element.
I saw Rainbow ready to fly down and rescue me until all of a sudden a big flash of red light shined from my back and I was propelled up passing by Rainbow on the way, I was about to hit the stone roof before I started spinning in circles while in the air and coming down fast hitting my head hard against the blue bull and rolling on sturdy ground again.
"Ow, that's gonna leave a mark..." I said getting up and looking at the girls to see they were surprised by something. "What?"
"Tyler you... You..." Twilight tried to say before Pinkie finished it for her.
"You've got wings." My eyes went wide as I looked behind me to see I did have wings, though they were way different than Fluttershy's and Rainbow's, they were bigger and they were coming out of my lower back the feathers were a red color matching my hair and as they closed in on my back the color faded to a deep black.
"Woah... That is. So awesome." Rainbow said with a squeaky voice. Hell yeah it's awesome, I moved them around as though they were really part of my body for a moment until they retracted themselves inside my back leaving a trail of flowing feathers that just vanished in the air.
"Welp guess we have three pegasus on our team now." AJ said as we all shared a good laugh.
Our job was done and we left the cave, but just before we got onto the chariots. "Wait!" We turned around to see Iron Will running up to us with his goats right behind him.
"Look mate I'm not in the mood for another fight." I said rubbing my forehead which still ached thanks to the impact of my first flight.
"Listen Iron Will just came to say that Iron Will is sorry, if Iron Will knew how much that ball of light meaned to you then Iron Will would have left it alone..." He said honestly even going as far as to bow to show he meant it. "But I still must know what drove you to get that ball no matter the cost."
I chuckled before giving him the answer. "Well I guess even a will of iron cannot break a blazing spirit of unity."
"I see..." He nodded in undesrtanding as he stood on top of one of his goats back. "That might make a good catch phrase, write that down." One of his goats started taking note on what I just said as they moved away from us.
"I'm really not gonna miss that bloke." The girls nodded agreeing with me.
And another chapter done. Okay guys first of all I'm gonna do just like my pal Kyrogue23 and put a song during major fight scenes, I couldn't come up with a decent song for Iron will so I just decide to go with his theme. Anyway I would like to ask you guys that if you can send me some good battle songs so I'll have a listen to see where I can put them be it in this story or in another.
Also like in my story Skulls n' Jawbreakers I'm open for OCs so if you want you OC to meet Tyler and/or have a romantic interest with him send em in through a review or PM me, I just have to say they might not appear right away, but someday soon they might show up. Well that is all hope you guys enjoyed it.
Victor157 Over and Out!
