"What… the… hell?" he stated surprised. Let's see so I lost my wings and the only magic I'm feeling is blood magic… this must be an earth pony. Smiling I could feel my strength having been increased as I begun to approach Lust. He let out a battle cry as he through a right hook… which I easily caught with my left hand as I clenched down on his armored hand… imprinting my clenching on his armor. He struggled to pull away until I pulled him wards… straight into a right hook I through as I let go.

He went flying straight into the forest causing several trees to fall over. "Luke?" I turned my attention to Love as he finally got out of the rock pile he was in. "is that you?"

"Yes it is Love! Figured out the magic!" I said with a smile.

"You look like a fucking pony!"

"That's because I think I have the earth pony's genetics. I just hope this isn't permanent." I stated.

"Most likely isn't." I smiled looking at the crimson red watch on my wrist. The symbol for earth pony was white. "Maybe there's a way to specify what you turn into?" he then stated approaching me.

"Maybe I have to say the number area that the symbol is." I said as I looked towards where Lust went flying. "I will say that may of given me a unfair advantage…" immediately Lust appeared in front of me as he grabbed my head as he threw his own knee up and threw my head down. My head and his knee collided as it caused me to stumble back. He then whirled around and kicked me away as I tumbled on the ground.

When I stopped tumbling I was still quite dizzy as I shook my head and looked up. Love was getting his ass handed to him as Lust kept up his onslaught of movements and attacks. Not giving Love any chance to counter. Let's see… Earth ponies had increased strength… just how much of increased strength do I have? "Luke… little… help!" I clenched my fists as I charged straight at the duo just as Love was spun around and thrown with intense strength into the pond. Skipping like a thrown rock before his front collided with a large rock near the edge of the water before he fell in.

Soon slowing down I tapped my right fist before throwing the punch as he threw his own… both fists collided with a explosion of black hitting me but we remained unmoving. Quickly delivering several punches to his chest I grabbed his head and slammed it into my knee before sweeping the legs out from under him. I spun around with my momentum from the sweep while he was still in the air before punching downwards.

He bounced off of the ground as he tumbled away before taking flight with his wings. He pulled back out his sword before sending several arcs of darkness at me. Rolling out of the way as they hit where I was a thought passed through my mind… time to fight magic… with magic. Immediately standing straight up I crossed my left hand across my chest as my right arm gripped the spin able disk. Which one was the unicorn… the third! "Form number three!" spinning the disk at a rapid speed I was surrounded once more in the red cocoon as I appeared once more in the grid area…

When the box of hexagons converged on my body they all immediately begun to flip… the gold lines going down my arms turned into swirls like on a candy cane with smaller lines and closer proximity. My hair went back to its original length as the muscles in my body also went back to normal. I could feel my magic gain quite a big boost as it felt strongest around my fingers. Soon I was back in the red cocoon as it soon dispersed like before. Flexing my fingers my light magic felt so powerful in my hands…

"I think I win asshole!" beginning to do punch after punch sending projectiles the size and image of my fist speeding at him. He attempted to make more slashes to deflect the projectiles but they went straight through the arcs as he was forced to maneuver out of the way until one of the projectiles caught him in his spin to dodge another… hitting the area where his wings came out of his armor.

As it hit it created a small explosion that damaged his wings as he crash landed in the ground. He recovered as his wings disappeared. As he stood back up I flicked my two fingers upwards as a block made from light sent him flying upwards before I clenched my hand and he was caught in the grasp of the sunlight. Throwing my fist downwards he crashed into the ground once more at high speeds. "You give up yet Lust?" I asked.

"I'm… not done… yet!" he struggled to his feet as Love stumbled over to me.

"Dose doe?" he suggested as I smiled. He grabbed my arms as he started to spin around faster and faster as I covered my arms in light magic… before he sent me flying like a flying super hero… as my fists connected with his armored chest as I began my onslaught of punches… still flying with my momentum I punched him through rocks… trees… fallen trees… before my descent began and I accidentally did a low belt shot… causing me to tumble on the ground as he fell over in pain.

"That… had to hurt." Love stated as he ran over. "I feel bad for him."

"Did we… win?" I asked huffing from exhaustion as he laid there unmoving.

"Yes we did. I'll put him in the mind and begin the connection process for him." Love stated walking over. "Seems like forcing myself out of your mind allows me to come out whenever I want now." he then said as he put a hand on his shoulder. "He's going to have to do it in the future when he gets strong enough."

"As long as he doesn't try to kill me I'm alright." He gave a short chuckle. "What's so funny?"

"Now that you beat him his personality will change drastically… meaning he will act very lustful towards all but most likely you." I groaned. "I'll keep him in check. It's my job to."

"Why aren't you acting so loving?" I asked him.

"Because I already am. Your family in my own mind Luke." I smirked. "Whelp I'll let you know when he's connected. You might want to work on trying to revert back to your own species." I nodded as they both disappeared in a pink mist. Looking at my watch I begun to think of how to revert back to myself again.

"Revert?" nothing happened as is sighed. "Revert original form." I was swarmed once again into the cocoon before the pain subsided and it disappeared. I looked at my entire body as I smiled… that was until I saw my left and right shoulder… was a symbol… a cross made from two bones that were white… with two swords crossing in the middle in a X… the one on the left if you were looking at it was pure silver… while the one on the right was gold…

"Is this a cutie mark?" I muttered as I looked at it. I just sighed as I heard footsteps behind me as I saw Celestia walking over. Getting into a stance she looked at me with a saddened look.

"I am sorry for not taking your advice." She then said. "It was foolish of me…"

"Well you didn't know what was happening." I said getting out of my stance as she approached with still a saddened look except now it had a smile. "How are the 6?"

"They have all suffered injuries. Nothing to serious but they won't be doing anything strenuous for a while." She said as she stopped right next to me. I smiled hearing that they were alright.

"Wait… Fluttershy to?" she nodded.

"Some of the debris from your fight against this… Lust… hit her in the head knocking her out. She might have a concussion."

"And now I got that on my mind… great!" I stated throwing my hands into the air. I lowered them as I looked at her. "So do I still have to leave?" she nodded. I lowered my head with my eyes closed as I sighed…

"Although… not how you will think." My eyes were still closed when they suddenly opened… as I was stabbed by her horn as blood begun to fill my left lung… she pulled out quickly as I stumbled backwards. Still stunned by what she did… she had tears in her eyes as her horn dripped with my blood… "I'm so sorry… but I can't take any chances…" she teleported away as my vision slowly darkened… the last thing I saw as I fell backwards and hit the ground…

Was a shiny hoof over my head...

I reopened my eyes to find myself in a chamber… the ceiling seemed to be made of crystal as well as the walls. Sitting up with pain in my lung breathing still hurt me immensely… that was until I heard a noise beside me and the last thing that I saw before going unconscious once more… was a horn with a magic aura around it…

This time when I opened my mind I found myself in a place I knew… I was seeing my mind once more with the two entwined tendrils that were white and black. This time I watched as a green tendril slowly came out… before it grew into a mini tornado. As it made contact to my mind the green tornado faded… before it constricted into one single tendril as my mind was now filled with three different colors… I could see a box formation nearby filled with a liquid…

So that's my blood magic? In the 1, 2, and 3 o'clock positions were several small orbs connected by several tubes going straight into it. All three were empty and the liquid wasn't spilling into the tubes… this was quite surprising to me. Soon though I disappeared once more with my eyes closed… appearing again to be in the crystal room like before. Feeling minimal amounts of pain as I breathed I sat up and looked around. Eventually spotting my sword laying against the wall near a… door I think?

Swinging my feet around I got off the bed and approached my sword… that was until the door open as I got into a combat stance but them looked surprised at what I was seeing… "What… the… fuck?"

The pony was in armor… and it seemed to be made of crystal?" the pony's eyes widened as he slowly closed the door. Quickly grabbing my sword I prepared for an unwelcome as the door opened again… to reveal this dimensions princess cadence.

"Can you… understand me?" she asked as two of the guard prepared to defend their princess.

"Yes I can. First question is where the hell I am…"

"You're in the crystal empire." She said as she motioned for the guard to steady as they stood at guard once more. "We brought you here two days ago…"

"Next question is how?" I asked still in my defense position.

"We… do not approve of the war going on between my aunts… the war cost us… and me… my husband…" she said lowering her head as I then sheathed my sword. She looked back at me. "Several of our scouts watched as you fought another of your own kind… my captain does have questions about what you did… but they watched as my aunt stabbed you with her horn…"

"Well that makes two Alicorn's that tried to kill me in a few short weeks?" she looked confused. "Luna tried to make me go boom. First day I got here and first time I met her and she tried to make me go boom… I have the worst luck imaginable…"

"I assure you that you will not be harmed while here." She said.

"I'll believe that when I see it… until then." I attached my sword with sheath to my left thigh. "This stays with me…"

"Very well…"

"Next question is I am hungry…" she smiled as she turned her head to the right guard.

"Sergeant Clear… can you please take Mr.… I am so sorry but what's your name?" she asked with a smile.

"Luke Damson." She nodded.

"Can you take Mr. Damson to the mess hall? And then please report to your previous duties."

"Yes princess…" she turned her attention back to me.

"When you are finished ask one of the guards to bring you to me by my order." I nodded as I followed the… guard through the halls. After getting something to eat I asked a nearby guard to bring me to the princess as he brought me through the halls. That's where we currently were as I had my hands behind my head in relaxation. Turns out the guard were known as the crystal guard. That's why they were so shiny. Soon we stopped in front of some doors. "The princess is waiting for you inside." I gave my thanks as the guard walked off not acknowledging my thanks. Sighing I opened the door spotting the princess doing some paperwork. When I opened the door though she rose her head and smiled when she saw me. "Have a good lunch Mr. damson?"

"Yes I did." I stated closing the door behind me as I approached.

"I'm guessing you still have some questions?" I nodded as she lowered the paperwork.

"Why?" this put a confusing look on her face. "Why help me?" she lowered her head.

"Because we need help…" I raised one of my eyebrows. "We would be trying to stop the war but… both of my aunts prefer us to not interfere with the other… so both hired many mercenaries to assist them in secret to make sure we wouldn't be able to assist the other. I've tried to tell them that we weren't helping the other side but when asked to support… I said no… and they immediately suspected that we were on the other side."

"And that's bad?" she nodded.

"We are constantly being assaulted by griffons and dragons… and with weak weapons we can't fend them off…" she stated. "They recently pulled out because they ran out of supplies by what my scouts say."

"So what's the plan then?" I asked her.

"Both species are always hating against ponies… being given a contract to kill them… they give no mercy to any pony they find out here." I sighed. "Which is why I wish to ask of your assistance…"

"I'll help." She smiled weakly. "I'll make sure to send those assholes straight back to the eggs they hatched from…"

"I'm sure you won't be able to do that much damage…" I smiled.

"That's what you think. And this is coming from a man that comes from a planet plagued with war." She widened her eyes as a large boom shook the room… immediately a crystal guard charged into the room.

"Princess their back!" he yelled.

"How many!" she yelled running over to a door as he looked crestfallen.

"All of them…"

Celestia's POV

I was sitting in the throne room when my general walked in. "has he been taken care of?" he asked.

"Yes… unfortunately so…"

"He was a liability you know that. Remember what he did to me?" he said as he approached.

"Yes. He was a part of the rebels in your world correct?" he nodded. "Then it's good that he is dead… anything to report?"

"I have given the order to our mercenaries to begin their final assault. They should already be attacking as we speak."

"Excellent… what would I ever do without you?" I stated with a smile as he took off his helmet. "Leroy…"

Sorry but schools being a pain in the ass for me… so chapters are going to be slow for a little while in putting up… again sorry!
