p style="max-height: 999999px;"At the top of the mountain overlooking Ponyville, the place where a dragon resided once and the treasure still does, Shadow Sombra sat on a throne made up of bones. Extremely...reptilian looking bones. Before him were his four "faithful" followers, ponified all the same as black Earth ponies, with one silver striped one chained down directly in front of him. "Marshall...I'm sure by now you realize how disappointed I am with you."/p

p style="max-height: 999999px;""And you realize I should kill you for this, correct?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""As y-you command...Master."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""However, I am feeling oddly generous today and have decided to spare your life for the present time." He rose his head and the chains disappeared. The stripes, however, glowed dimly. "But this does not mean that you are free of my wrath. Those chains will bind you until your penance is served."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Marshall stood up slowly, then looked at Sombra. "Th-Thank you, Master."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Why? I still have every intention to kill you where you stand right now. But you still have a greater purpose."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""And that is?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""The boy is awakening his true power. Once that happens, we will never get the Amulet. Unless..."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Unless?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Unless...his true father and his new mentor are both decimated."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Marshall cocked his head to the side. "Mentor? Who is his mentor?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Another one of you useless humans, but from a world unknown. He was here once, but to him, it was only a dream. I am told he still believes it is." Though it couldn't be seen, Sombra smiled. "Prove him wrong."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"strongMeanwhile, in Ponyville town square.../strong/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Jack, Blaze, and this strange third pony were walking around the town. When they had reached the edge, the third pony stopped. "You two must have been taught patience well."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""What do you mean?" Jack asked./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""We have walked around the whole of Ponyville, and neither of you has so much as asked my name. I admire your patience." He smirked at the two. "I am not a resident of this world, as I am sure you have gathered. I'm a human, much like the kind I'm informed you two are."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""What's you name?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""...Normally, I would go by Walker. However, seeing the...ah...variety of names used here, call me...I don't know what you should call me."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Blaze placed a hoof to his chin. "Well...other than Walker, what are some of your nicknames?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Nicknames? I've been called several things. Demonspawn and the Angel of Death come to mind. Only once have I been called a protector, but I'm not worthy of that title either."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Hmm...Hell's Angel?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Uh, no. How about something...a little more positive for once?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Jack, looking for a name, took a glance at his Cutie Mark, made white and black swords clashing. "How about...Chaos' Blade?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Walker thought about it for a second. "Chaos' Blade? Hmm...it does seem fitting. I guess it'll do fine. While we are here, refer to me as such."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Okay...Blade. Why are you here exactly?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""It may be easier to call me Chaos, so you don't mix me up with Blaze here. To be honest, this is my second time here. Though...the first time was a complete dream in which everyone-"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Everyempony!/em" Blaze corrected./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""...Right. Anyway, everyempony/em here was reverted into the exact opposite of who they were. Spike and I were given the task to try and revert everyone back. But...the last thing I remember is Spike being hit by a beam of light, then another flashing in front of my own eyes. I always assumed that that was a dream." He looked around himself. "I guess I was wrong."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Okay...but that doesn't exactly explain why you are here now," Jack pointed out./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Right...about that. I was asked and..." He looked down at himself. "...convinced by Princess Celestia to take you 'under my wing' as it were. My job is to make sure you know how to use your power."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"His eyes lit up. "You're going to teach me...to use MAGIC? AWESOME!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Calm yourself, my friend, not so fast. I can't teach you to use you're magic. That you'll have to figure on your own. I'm going to teach you how to direct and harness it."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Why did the princesses call you here?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Chaos looked around before turning right to Blaze. "Excuse me, Tristan. Would you be so kind as to stand over there?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Uh...okay?" The named Pegasus flew off a good distance from the other two and landed. "This good?" he shouted./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""That's great!" Chaos turned back to Jack. "Know, about your...condition. The princesses called me here because they want me to teach you how to channel your power. As you can see, I don't have a horn either."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""But you can use magic?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Exactly. Well...not exactly. I can't use magic. I have a certain power that I learned from my own master. It's... similar enough."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Okay, but how do you use it?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""First off, our methods are going to be different, considering the fact that ponies don't need words to indicate what they are doing. Well, some of us don't, but it'll take a lot of energy and focus to do it, so I'm going to say the words for the current." He turned to Blaze, held out his hoof, and said in a soft yet forceful voice, em"Soules!/emem"/em/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"His hoof began to glow a light blue color. Then, the color imploded, at the same time blowing Blaze off his feet and into the air. When he recovered with a few flaps of his wings, he flew over and got right in Chaos' face. "What the buck was that for?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Well, first off, I was giving an example to your friend. Second, I was given a glance of your dreams once, Blaze. You happen to be a fan of this...Sky's Rim thing, am I right?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""You mean Skyrim? Buck yeah!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Well, I seemed to recall you doing something just like that once."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""...Oh yeah! Fus Ro Da!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""I found it fitting that you should feel how it felt to have it happen to you. Shame on you, blowing those guards into the tavern wall. Shame." After this lecture, Chaos turned back to Jack. "But do you get the concept? Since you have no horn, you need the next best thing to direct the magic. And what better way than what humans have always used to direct things? The ha- hooves." He dropped his hoof and turned away from the two friends. "I want you to practice for the next time. From then on, you'll be doing tasks for me, and you'll actually learn something." He spread his wings and took to the sky faster than Rainbow Dash could do in a second./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"After recovering from the shock of this, Blaze and Jack turned to each other. "So...your teacher isn't from here either?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Apparently. But, if he can teach me how to fight my grandfather, we'll be fine./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Who's to say he actually will? He called himself the Angel of Death, if you recall."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""What choice do we have? It's trust him...or be assured to lose."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"strongChapter Complete. Yes, this is up, but it's going to be a long time before I get anything else up. And yes, Walker is back. He was the only guy I could think of that could teach Paul/Jack O' Trades how to use his magic without the horn. And don't forget to give me all the tasks and OC's you can. This is still going strong. So RR AND ADIOS!/strong/p
