Edward POV
I woke to sunlight hitting my eye. Looking around the camp everyone looked peaceful, which is why it hurt me (not really) to wake them the way I did. Pulling some string out of my bag I tied all their feet together with one string before taking off running toward the closest lake. Stopping I looked behind me to see they were somehow still asleep even though Khan now had a bump on his head the size of my fist. Pouring chakra into my arms I threw them all into the lake before running and laughing like a madman. Arriving back at camp I was met with the sight of an amused Slade. "Let me guess you woke up as I was tying your feet together then cut yourself loose as I began to run toward the lake." Nodding his head he confirmed it. Turning around I was met with the sight of everyone who had a morning 'swim' look at me pissed. "Hey guys how did you like your dip in the lake?" "We would have liked it better had we been awake!" replied a pissed Sombra. "Come on it was a harmless little prank. Besides I've seen you shrug off a blow from a war-hammer swung by the biggest griffon I ever saw like it was nothing." "It does help that you're the best damn blacksmith in Equestria. I'm still surprised there's no enchantment on my armor." "Hey I make my armor with quality, a blacksmith would only use magic on cheap-ass shit. Although some do put enchantments on for special orders." "Well I think it would be best if we made our way back to Canterlot now." "Yeah you're right, let's go." Packing up our camp we continued our way back to the castle. Of course something had to go wrong and this time it came in the form of an entire platoon of griffons and a single human. The human wore a black t-shirt with the USMC insignia stitched over his heart, he wore black-camo pants and black combat boots. He had blonde hair that looked somewhat like a surfer's cut and was ripped with washboard abs. Holstered to his hip was a 9mm pistol and strapped on his back was a M-16 Rifle. "Sigh* you guys just won't give up, Slade why don't you have fun with Blondie we'll hand the feather-heads." Grunting in approval Slade charged the human.
Slade's POV
Charging at the lone human I attempted to strike in his sternum but he just blocked it with his foot. 'WHAT?! HOW THE HELL IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!' Jumping back I was set on the defensive as he came atme with a flurry of kicks. 'Dammit his kicks are coming too fast, I cant keep dodging them forever. If he can take a blow like that with his foot I'd hate to learn what a few good kicks could do.' I had just dodged another kick before he did something I've only seen one other person do before. 'WHAT?! THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE COULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT EXCEPT FOR ME!' Seeing an opening I lashed out with my dragon arm hoping to get him in the chest. What I didn't account for was him jumping up. Apparently he didn't jump high enough because my claws tore off both his legs below the knees. "GAH! DAMMIT! MY LEGS!" Landing on his back he was expecting for me to finish him, I simply stared at him. 'He looks familiar but why can't I place my finger on- that's it! But how? He's supposed to be dead! But there's no escaping the facts that was his personal fighting style and that was his signature attack. Huh?' "Hey you listen to me when I'm insulting you ya freak of nature! Aren't you going to finish what you started?! I'd rather not bleed out because my legs are gone!" Ignoring him for now I looked over to the others to see they had finished and were cleaning their weapons. "Hey you gonna kill that guy or what, we don't have all day here." Edward called. Shaking my head I called him over with my hand. "What do ya need?" he asked. I simply gave him a deadpan look. "Oh right hold up I've been meaning to do this." Placing his hand on my forehead his hand glowed it's infamous black and I felt as if someone had placed a stone inside my skull. "There try thinking something." 'What the hell did you do?' "I set up a telepathic link between us, you control when it works." 'Alright you think you could replace his feet? He's someone I thought was killed a long time ago.' "Who is he exactly?" 'He's my...'
