So just to recap, thanks to all the people who gave me their OC's aura soul forms and abilities and for those who didn't then please do. Also there will be a new OC added this chapter and it may be the longest chapter yet. So without further waiting here is the next chapter.

Three months. Three goddamn months it took to train Aegis to what I considered acceptable.

Now we were back in Ponyville both wearing cloaks that hid our appearance. My cloak was a black that seemed to draw in the shadows around us while Aegis' was a dark blue that produced a hint of a dark aura around him.

"So what do we do now boss," he asked me.

"Simple," I replied, "first we get something to eat and then we go tell the others we're back."

He started to nod back before he froze in his spot.

I stopped and looked at him wondering what was wrong. "What is it Aegis?"

He didn't respond as his eyes glazed over and he started to growl.

He then started to form his stage two aura soul. It was in the shape of a timberwolf but instead of wood it looked more made of metal instead of wood.

Before I could do anything he took off towards the hospital and it was only then that I realized what was wrong.

I had taught him how to sense out powerful auras but not how discern friend from foe.

He must have sensed my sister's aura and his instinct judged her as a threat and now he is going to eliminate the threat.

Don't get me wrong, my sister is no pushover but she more of a healer then an actual fighter so she really had no chance against Aegis.

I quickly teleported to my sister finding her in the lobby.

She jumped in surprise and started to ask what I was doing before Aegis busted through the door with his aura and gave a loud roar that caused everyone in the area to run away and scream in panic.

Before he could make an attempt at my sister I flared my dark magic making him hesitate.

I then stated in my demonic voice, "whatever you attempt to do on my sister I will unleash on you tenfold! Now yield you overgrown mutt!"

The sheer power of my voice brought Aegis to his senses and out of his aura soul second stage.

He then started to apologize before I raised my hoof to stop him.

"No I'm sorry Aegis. I didn't teach you how to discern a friendly aura from an evil one. That is something that will need to be worked on later."

He nodded and sighed in relief before he and I tensed up and snapped our heads towards the direction of the Everfree forest.

"What's wrong," asked Jennifer.

I growled out, "there's a powerful dark energy heading towards Ponyville and I can tell you it ain't friendly."

I quickly turned to Aegis and asked, "you ready for a real fight?"

He gave a quick nod before we ran off to face the threat.

Entrance to Ponyville

When we got to the entrance to Ponyville we instantly saw the source of the dark energy.

He was an alicorn with an obsidian black coat with a mane that looked like lava. His eyes changed from golden to pure black constantly letting me know he was under the influence of someone.

My guess would be he was probably possessed by some shade. But to possess an alicorn the shade would have to be extremely powerful. It would seem that the dark magic user I have been looking for if trying to get rid of me while also staying anonymous. Very clever.

His cutie mark was a white circle with the shadow of a dragon head in the middle.

I quickly thought of a plan and said to Aegis, "Aegis I want you to stand back and let me handle this. If he gets past me don't let him make it to Ponyville. Use your shields to stop him or at least slow him down."

He nodded in confirmation before stepping back a good distance.

Me and the alicorn stared at each other for a second before on some unheard signal we charged at each other.

I went on the defensive blocking and avoiding his blows to get a feel for his fighting style.

He was trained pretty well. His punches and kicks were precise and he left barely any openings and if there were he quickly covered them up.

I would have to say against any regular opponent he would have no problem, too bad I am not a regular opponent.

Play time was over so when his next punch came I grabbed it before delivering one of my own to his chest hearing a few ribs crack in the process.

He went flying but before he could right himself I created a dark magic chain and reeled him back towards me as I ran at him.

When he was close enough I gave a magic enforced clothesline that made a humongous shockwave as the pony spun in the air ten times before finally landing on his back.

Then surprisingly he got right back up growling in anger. I had to admit that this guy could take a beating.

He then screamed to the high heavens as an aura began to form around him.

'He can use his aura soul,' I thought in surprise

His first stage then appeared, it was a pony wearing armor with one half demonic and one half angelic meaning he had a balance between light and darkness. Its hoofs held a bow and a sword for all ranges of fighting. And Its eyes became fire but with the same colors.

I stood my ground waiting to see what this guy could do while channeling dark magic through my body making me more durable to the point of being as unbreakable as a steel mountain.

He then vanished in a burst of speed but I quickly found him and he was coming at my with his aura's sword raised. He swung down and hit me with the flat of the blade which sent me soaring straight into a nearby mountain.

His speed and strength were incredible, but nothing I couldn't take.

I pulled myself out of the mountain and teleported back to the field where he was still waiting for me.

I narrowed my eyes at him and said, "my turn."

My reaper aura then appeared around me. I waited for him to make the first move.

It wasn't long till he shot an arrow at me. I only smirked and let it literally pass right through me as if I were a shadow.

He gained a surprise look and I chuckled.

"You like," I taunted, "my first aura form gives me control of all shadows, even letting me be able to turn into shadows."

I then slammed the scythe into the ground as a fist of shadows came up and knocked my opponent into the air.

He quickly righted himself but before he could realize I was not on the ground anymore I was already behind him swinging my scythe down so that he was hit with the blunt end.

When it connected to his back he was shot towards the ground like a bullet making a three meter deep crater.

But this guy surprised me again when he stood up even more pissed off than before but still looked like hell.

He had blood coming out of his mouth, his left-wing was broken and he was sporting a lot of bruises.

His aura flared again becoming something entirely different.

If I wasn't surprised before I sure as hell was now, 'holy shit! He has his second stage to! Guess I'll have to go into my second stage if I want to keep up.'

I then landed on the ground while going into my second stage while my opponents just finished his.

His second stage was a dragon.

My second stage then finished forming and I could clearly see the shock on his face when he saw what it was.

My second stage was a dragon also but of a different kind. It was a bone dragon, these dragons were the most powerful by far but they perished long ago since they were only able to lay eggs once every thousand years.

When the last egg was destroyed the species died out leaving them only to be remembered as myths.

My opponent I could see was hesitant to attack but still did so by shooting a column of golden flames at me.

I stood my ground and simply took the hit. But instead of burning me my aura simply absorbed his.

He looked horrified at the display so I decided to explain to him what happened and how.

"I see your shocked on how I did that hm? Well my aura's ability is the same as the bone dragon's were. They had the ability absorb the elements around them to increase their own power. That includes elemental attacks. That is what made the bone dragons the strongest and it is what has given me victory here today."

My aura then released a flame twice as powerful as the one it absorbed and instantly engulfed the enemy.

When I dispelled it and my aura I saw the stallion unconscious on the ground sporting some third degree burns.

Then a dark aura seeped from the stallions mouth before giving a cry of pain and disintegrating.

Aegis walked up behind me and asked, "what now?"

"Now I send him to father to be questioned and we go get something to eat I'm fucking starving!"

Hoped you liked the fight scene and the new OC I added. He belongs to lukeawesome and I will reveal his name next me if you have any questions. Until then Nicranger out.
