Hey guys I got another chapter for ya. But I have a question for you guys, someone in the reviews wanted Aegis to be paired up with Aloe and Lotus. I have no problem if you guys want the 'herd' kind of story as it wouldn't be a problem for me to make it happen as long as it was no more than three for each OC.

If you guys think this is a good idea or not let me know. And if you think it is let me know who else you want added to the OC's and I will make it happen. Also if you guys are worried about your OC's not being mentioned more in the story don't be I plan to make all of them important factors in the story. Now on with the story.

"HOLY TARTARUS YOU FINALLY FOUND SOMEPONY," screamed Bloodied Night before he was slapped upside the head by Luna for being too damn loud.

It's the morning after me and Celestia became mates and we are currently in my house and the whole gang was there. Hell even Shadow Light and Harley were there. I talked to these guys a bit and we became fast friends. Harley even made me a special repellent for my house for when mating season came up next month.

"I don't think you called all of us here just to tell us you're getting hitched Dark so spill it," said Chaotic's marefriend Dark Gem.

I gave a heavy sigh before getting to the crux of the matter, "alright I know some of you know this but I am going to explain for those who don't. There is a dark magic user in Equestria. He or she are very dangerous and are hiding themselves even from MY sight and that can only come from someone with dark magic abilities that have to be on a level close to mine."

They all were shocked at this and they should be. To be able to get even close to my level of power is almost impossible unless you completely devoted every waking moment of your life to dark magic.

I let them get over their shock before continuing, "and that is only the tip of the iceberg. My contacts have finally made some head-way on what our dark magic user is up to."

My dark magic flared for a second before a parchment appeared on the table in the middle of the room. The paper only had a picture of a slitted purple eye surrounded by darkness.

"What the hell is this Dark," asked Aegis.

I didn't want to tell them, but I had no choice. In order for this meeting to go the way I wanted it to then I needed to let them know exactly what is at stake.

"This my young protégé, is the symbol of a cult of dark magic users. As of right now I can only assume that the one we are after heads this cult. But the main problem is not in who leads them but in how many there are that follow them. As far as we know their numbers are well in the hundreds."

They all digested this information slowly. The information being given to them they knew was important. If these cultist decided to act against Equestria sometime in the future with more numbers then there would be no one able to stop them. Not even me!

I had an army of undead soldiers from my father but I needed real leaders in order to really make a difference if it came to war with this cult.

"Well shit Dark, why the hell are you telling all of us when you should be out there kicking ass and taking souls," demanded Chaotic.

I gave a sad smile and replied with, "because if I went against them by myself I would lose. Their numbers are too great and if all of them are even a novice at dark magic all that power would be more than I could handle. That's why you all are here."

"What do ya mean sugarcube,"asked AJ

Instead of answering right away I walked into the middle of the room to make sure everyone could hear me before I spoke again, "all of you have the potential to be great warriors, even those that already are can become even more. So I want all of you to join an order that me and my Father created since I began my duties as the Reaper. An order that would be made up only of those I deemed worthy enough to join."

I then took a deep breath before finishing, hoping they would accept, "I would like to ask you all to become the first ever Reaper Knights."

They all sat there open-mouthed at what I just asked of them.

It was a few minutes before one of them decided to ask a question that I knew would be coming.

"What's the catch," asked Shadow Light.

"The catch is that all of those who aren't immortal will be made so and that you will have to take up my profession alongside me. That means you will have to collect the souls of the deceased for judgment, and on some occasions kill those that have been deemed too evil to be left alive. You will still be able to lead your regular lives only with added responsibility. You do not have to accept this offer but I implore you to. If not for yourselves then for the sake of Equestria and lands beyond."

The silence as they thought over what they should do was almost deafening.

Then Celestia got up and gave me a brief kiss before embracing me.

"Whatever you do I will be with you," she whispered.

Bloodied Night stood up next and put a hoof on my shoulder as he spoke, "we have been friends for longer than either of us can remember. I'm with you through and through."

"I'm with you to big bro," said Jenn.

The effect was instantaneous as one by one all of them agreed to becoming the first ever Reaper Knights.

I gave them all a grateful smile before saying two words that I have rarely ever spoken to anyone, "thank you."

I didn't know what would happen to us in the future. I only knew that we are stronger now than ever before and that instead of fighting by myself as I have for so long I finally have ponies I can fight with by my side as friends, comrades, and a family.

'I hope your ready you son of a bitch,' I thought, 'because now that I have a team behind me there is not a snowball's chance in hell of you winning.'

Well is that a big enough role for the OC's now? Again review and Pm your answer on the whole 'herd' idea. Until then Nicranger out.
