"Are we almost there?" I asked Luna and she only looked back and nodded.

"Just a few more cells and… we are here." She said as I turned to look inside of the cell and looked to find a sleeping Sarah.

"And I thought you would be happy to see me!" I yelled and immediately she jolted awake and when she saw me she smiled as she ran over as Luna unlocked the door and she walked out and we hugged. "And I always knew you cared." And with that she hit me in the back of my head. "I guess I deserved that."

"Well how are you feeling after you went unconscious and came back?" she asked me with a smile.

"Well I felt like shit at first but I feel better now. I will have to most likely spend a few days here to make sure I really am alright." She frowned at this. "It's my life Sarah and I approve of what she is trying to do." She only sighed.

"Don't forget that I am your friend Alex." She said crossing her arms.

"And don't forget that I just said it's my life." She only sighed once more.

"Well can we leave now? I rather not have to eat another dungeon meal." I only laughed as we all followed Luna out and soon we reached the top of the stairs.

"So you guys need to pack whatever you brought and head home… I rather not hear that you didn't take care of yourselves while I'm here." They only nodded as they walked down a different hallway as I continued to walk with Luna and Sarah.

"So what's going to happen to me?" Sarah asked.

"You're going to go back with them and make sure that Samson and sassy have been working on the farm." I told her as she only pouted.

"Just because you were here longer than me doesn't mean that you know what's best." She said.

"And now who's acting like a child." She only smiled as she playfully hit me in my shoulder. "What time is it. I feel hungry enough to eat the entire fish population." I then said.

"It is near lunchtime Alex. And seeing that you were asleep for two days I am not surprised by that." Luna said with a small laugh.

"Well for now let's go grab some grub." Sarah said and I couldn't help but smile at her wanting some food. That was always Gus's thing. As we walked eventually we reached what appeared to be like a dining room and immediately we were encountered by several pony's wearing chefs clothing.

"What can we get for you today princess?" one of them asked with a bow.

"I would like a simple salad if you don't mind. What would you two like?" Luna asked with a smile.

"I'll take a salad as well please." Sarah said.

"Maybe an extra-large salad for me." They only bowed as they backed their way through a swinging pair doors as we took our seats. "So question. What happened to bluebutt when I went unconscious?" Luna giggled at that a little before she opened her mouth to speak.

"Well he was very displeased that you were going to live and that he couldn't do anything to you. But when he next challenges you make sure it is a fair fight before accepting. He doesn't like to lose." Luna said worried about my safety as I only laughed a little.

"Depends if I could get what had to me happen again." I said. "I wish I knew what had happened. I'm suspecting that it was the swords doing though." She paled a little bit. "But for now that's in the past and this is the present." They both only nodded as the chefs walked back out with three plates. Two regular size while mine was a little bigger as they set them down in front of us as we all started to eat. As we ate in silence I couldn't help but feel what I was doing was wrong. I mean giving all four of them a chance? I had come here by unknown means and what if there is a chance it might send me back… what if I'm forced to leave them… I won't let that happen… not ever again! "Are you okay Alex?" I heard Luna ask as she snapped be back into reality.

"Yeah I'm fine." I then noticed I had already finished eating. "I think I might go tell the others I said goodbye." Luna only nodded as Sarah got up from her seat.

"Then I might as well leave with them." She then said as I only nodded as we walked out of the dining room and immediately found them.

"So you all ready to go?" I asked them and they nodded but I could tell they were saddened a little. "listen." They looked at me. "I will be back in no time. I'm feeling as well as can be. I expect to be back in hopefully three days." They smiled. "And I hope you will all write to me as I write to you every day." They nodded. "I'll miss you all." I said giving them a large hug as they hugged me back before I let go and turned to Sarah. "Well let me at least walk you all to the train station." They all smiled as we started to walk out of the castle and when we finally got out we continued to walk in silence. "So say hi to the others for me okay." Rainbow Dash only smiled.

"We will Alex. We will tell them that you will be coming back soon." She said as we reached the train station and gave them all one last hug including Sarah and I waved them goodbye as the train took off. As I watched it get smaller and smaller until it disappeared and I only put my hands into my pockets as I walked back towards the castle and walked around in it until I eventually found Luna talking with Celestia. "So what am I even going to be doing while I am here?" I then asked them making it so then they knew I was here.

"Later today princess cadence and prince shining armor will be coming to meet you." Princess Celestia said.

"Prince shining armor better not be like blueblood!" I then said and they laughed.

"He is as kind as the heart could be. He did marry the princess of love." Luna said.

Awe shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

"Then I'll give him a shot." They both smiled.

"First of all let's go get you checked by the head nurse and head doctor. See how your body is doing from being woken up after two days." Princess Celestia said and I only nodded.

"Right away princess." She only laughed.

"If you're not going to call my sister princess you don't need to do that with me as well." She said.

"Okay Celestia." And with that we started to walk through the halls until eventually we reached an all-white room with multiple gurneys and there were multiple ponies in the room that were dressed like doctors and nurses. As Celestia cleared her throat that's when they took notice of us as they walked over.

"Good day princess Celestia, Princess Luna. What may we help you with today?" one of them asked them.

"We have brought the human Alex to be checked he was the one that had gone unconscious." Their eyes widened as they pulled me over to a gurney before they strapped me down after they took away my things… even my fucking hat…

"This better be a fucking joke cause if I see a single knife I will hurt you all!" I said struggling as Luna only giggled.

"This is only to make sure you don't hurt yourself while they perform the tests." Luna then said.

"We will return after a while to see the report doctor magic." Celestia said.

"We will have it for you by the hour I hope." The doctor said with glasses as they both walked out. "Everypony except for nurse Snowheart, nurse Gladestone, and doctor surge please leave." And with that all of the pony's except for three left leaving me with the four.

"So what's going to happen?" I asked.

"We need to test your motor controls, then test how well your body can do in multiple challenges, and then finally just a magical brain examination." He said and I paled on the last one. "No need to worry about the last one. We won't be cutting open your head. We will be using our magic to go into your brain to see if there is any damage." That calmed me down a little. "For now let's begin." And with that one of them produced a hammer and tapped me on my of my knees causing them to try and go upwards and then they unstrapped me. "Now was that so hard." He then said and I gave him a glare. "I'm only doing my job. Now walk around the room and tell us if you feel any pain in your body."

As I got up and started to walk around in multiple places I did feel pain and when I got back I sat back down. "Did you feel any pain?" one of the nurses asked me.

"I felt pain in both of my legs, my arms, and my back. Don't know how I didn't notice this when I first woke up." I said.

"That's because the stiffness spell had some side effects that last a little bit after being taken off." One of the nurses told me. "This only means he must have damage inside of his body cause I'm seeing no injuries on the outside."

"Well we will have to add to the list full body magical examination." Doctor magic said. "Nurse Gladestone could you please prep the physical room." And with that the yellowish orange nurse walked through a door at the other end of the giant room. "Now could you tell us what it felt like?"

"It felt like every time I tried to move I felt a searing pain in my legs but it wasn't that bad in my arms. Whenever I moved my spine went into pain first and it was worse than my legs." I told them.

"Doctor Surge go and prep an examination room please." And with that the other stallion left. "Anything else?"

"Well besides my head keeps on getting headaches that's about it." I told them.

"Doctor Magic. The physical room is done." the nurse said from the other end of the room.

"Let's begin your physical." He said as I followed them all into a giant room with a lot of things in it. Like a track, weights, and that's actually about it. "Let's see how you do on the track. Run until you feel like you can't run anymore." He said as I took up a position as I then took in a deep breath until I started to run on the track. Within the first few seconds I met the first turn and then another few seconds later I was met with the second turn as I was down a straight path and as I continued to run the pain in my legs lessoned the more I ran as well as my back and arms. As I went onto the third turn and then the fourth I then ran past the doctor and nurses as I then reached the first turn once more and immediately I felt the pain start to come back in major spikes and as I rounded the second turn the pain in my arms came back just like in my legs and as I rounded the third and fourth turns, just as I reached the pony's I felt my whole body shut down as I collapsed mid run as I tumbled a little bit on the ground as I then stopped on my stomach and I struggled to get back up but I couldn't feel my body respond to any movement I wanted to.

"You can get up now." I heard doctor magic say but the pain was too great to even move and then I heard them all run over.

"Are you alright?" I heard one of the nurses ask.

"It… hurts to much… body… won't respond…" I said between the pain as I felt myself lifted.

"We need to get him to the examination room now!" I heard as I felt the pony I was on start to run. "nurse Snowheart go tell the princesses what has happened!" and with that I heard running fading away as the pain only continued as I was then put onto something. "Get the examination unicorns in here now!" I then heard as I heard doors slam shut and I noticed the room had turned dark… or was that myself blacking out?

Luna's POV

"Princesses!" we both heard as we stopped talking and we turned to find nurse Snowheart running towards us.

"Is Alex's examination done?" I asked.

"No! He collapsed during his physical!" she said quickly.

"What?!" both me and he yelled.

"He couldn't move a single muscle in his body as he laid on the ground because of the pain! We rushed him into the examination room immediately after he told us!" she said.

"We must go sister!" Tia told me as I nodded and we started to run alongside the nurse and I noticed that we ran past cadence and shining armor who were confused at what was happening but we kept on running and eventually we reached the room Snowheart had told us about as we rushed in and watched as the doctors and nurses tried to stop Alex's body from spasming as he yelled out in pain every few seconds. as nurse Snowheart ran in soon a doctor came flying out from a stray kick as he crashed into the wall as Tia rushed over and helped him up as he rushed back into the room as they eventually successfully had a hold on Alex as they then strapped him in as they all exited and they joined us behind the glass. "What can you tell us doctor magic?" I heard Tia ask him.

"He successfully ran around the track two times before he collapsed and he was unable to move due to all the pain. As soon as we put him down onto the table he started to spasm and yell out in pain." He said as several unicorns ran into the room with Alex and surrounded the table.

"Did he do anything else before the track?" I asked him but he shook his head.

"The only thing we did before was check his motor controls and they were alright. Then when we had him walk around the room he reported that he had pain in his legs and arms but the worse came from his back. I suspected something had happened to his spine but that quickly went away as he finished the first time he came around successfully." He answered as the unicorns prepared their spell and then they started it and Alex stopped spasming as one of them turned and nodded as the examination team walked into the room and replaced the unicorns as they walked out.

"Sister I suggest you let Twilight and the others know what has happened." She nodded as she brought out a scroll and a quill as she started to write on it. As we watched the examination team continue to examine Alex as they wrote down on their pages every few seconds. That is never good. As we continued to watch in silence soon cadence and shining armor walked in. "I didn't know you arrived." I said with a smile as they only nodded.

"We decided to make it a surprise. Who's that?" cadence asked as she looked at the table that was behind the glass.

"That is Alex." I answered.

"What is he? I know he isn't a pony." Shining armor said.

"He's what is called a human. He came to Equestria through a magical rift that my sister is currently studying." I said.

"Why? If he's the only one why would you do that?" cadence asked.

"Because other humans have been arriving through these rifts." They paled. "And not all of them are good. The only good human is one of his friends from his world. We have had a total of 8 humans appear in this world and they tried to kill him and his friend. The first bad human tried to kill the element of loyalty, Rainbow Dash."

"Then why is he even here? If he's dangerous why not get rid of him." Shining armor asked.

"Because he killed the other humans and saved me and my sister plus your sister along with her friend Applejack from the most recent attack. He killed all 7 of them with what he calls guns with the help of his friend."

"Where are these guns? I think I might want to take a good look at them." Shining armor said but I only shook my head.

"The last pony to touch his things was injured. This only happened twice and the second time had happened earlier today." I said and he paled even more like there was absoulutly no color in his face.

"What do you know about him?" cadence asked us.

"He came to Equestria long with his horse Samson." They got angry at that.

"Does that mean he is bad?!" shining armor said but I only shook my head.

"No. that's what they call pony's that are about the size of my sister in their world. But he got smaller as what Twilight tells me and his cutie mark is one we never seen before but he has seen." I said.

"What did it look like?" cadence asked.

"At the bottom looked like a cross and the top of it swirled around into a heart at the top. He said it meant loyalty in his world. Then another pony appeared that had come with his friend from his world. Her cutie mark was a cross and Alex said it meant faith." I answered.

"The scroll has been sent to Twilight. Hopefully they catch the next train to Canterlot." Tia said as she walked over. "And hopefully it has been a good day to you and shining armor cadence." They only smiled. "And to believe Alex thought you would be like blueblood, shining armor." He got angry at that.

"Why would he think that?" he asked.

"Because he had dueled blueblood during the gala. That duel is the reason why Alex is like this. Something had happened to him that caused his entire body to shut down. I believe it was because of the sword he was using. After the duel he shut down and was unconscious for two days and he just woke up today. As soon as the stiffness spell effects had worn off this happens." She said. "So for now we must hope that he will be alright." And with that the examination team walked out and walked over to us.

"He has many injuries underneath his skin. I'm surprised he is still alive. He has many broken bones, many of his nerves have been cut off from his brain so that is the reason why he couldn't move and is the reason why he was spasming because his nervous system didn't know what to do so it went haywire. His brain is absoulutly exhausted and is the reason why his body is in so much pain instead of the broken bones." He said.

"How long until he recovers?" I asked him.

"A few months. The spell should help alleviate the pain in his sleep and we will have to constantly monitor him." He said.

"Thank you for your time. Would it be wise to move him?" my sister asked him but he only shook his head.

"That would break the sleeping spell put onto him. His entire nervous system needs time to recuperate and fix itself. So until that's fixed the sleeping spell will stay on him." He said.

"Thank you. Tell the other doctors and nurses to go back to what they were doing. Leave a team here to keep a watch over him." He nodded as he walked over to the doctors and nurses and soon they all left except for two doctors and a nurse as we walked out as well. As we walked through the halls we eventually ran into Twilight and the others as well as the two ponies from Alex's world and his human friend Sarah.

"Is he going to be alright?!" Twilight asked and I nodded as she sighed with relief.

"He will need to be asleep until his nervous system calms down and then reconnects with his mind. Only until then he won't be able to talk with us." I told them.

"How long would that fucking take?" Sarah asked.

"I don't know. For now all we can do is wait." My sister answered.

"So this is the other human from his world?" shining armor asked walking forward and looking at her.

"Big brother!" Twilight yelled as she rushed over and hugged him and she smiled when she saw cadence. "Sunshine sunshine ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!" they both said as they did their little greeting as Sarah laughed.

"I remember hearing about that from a Brony on my world!" she said.

"What do you mean?" cadence asked and she froze.

"I said to much!" she then said as she started to run as shining armor chased after her as I only laughed as we walked after them when I felt it.

"Sister!" I said and she looked at me. "I felt two rifts!" her eyes widened.

"Where?" she asked me quickly.

"In the gala room! I don't know about the other though!" I said and we all started to run towards the gala room and when we got there we all froze. It was full of humans wearing red and they all had their weapons pointed at us and I noticed shining armor and Sarah was caught by them.

Alex's POV

"Should we kill him?"

"He's a American stugo. Yes we kill him. I just wish I knew where we were first."

"Just kill him and get it over with."

And with that I quickly sat up as I surprised the two humans in the room as I then knocked their AK's out of their hands before I kicked them all into the wall knocking them out and as I looked around I gasped. They had killed three ponies in the room and their blood covered the walls. One mare and two stallions. Both in medical wear. "You guys are fucking dead." I said as I snapped their necks while they were unconscious. "I hope to god there aren't any more of you and-"

*BANG*

"Oh come on!" I yelled as I pulled a SMG off of one of them and a desert eagle off the other as I grabbed their AK's and one of them had a shotgun which I slung across my back as I started to run through the halls and every turn I found at least one more dead pony in medical wear and that only made me madder as I continued to run and eventually I burst into the gala room where immediately I ducked behind the wall and I snuck a peak and I got mad. They had captured Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Sarah, Samson, sassy, and two pony's I did not recognize and I then noticed multiple guards lying on the ground away from them as they were surrounded by blood and I gasped a little when I saw one of them shoot another one in the head before they threw it onto the pile.

These guys were redcoats from when America first started. This isn't fucking good. If I can take out as many as possible the others would at least have a fighting chance against them. But how the hell am I even up anyway? Wait a minute. Is there something else on my back? As I looked and pulled it out I gasped a little when I found it was the sword I had used when I dueled against blueblood.

No wonder. This thing is awesome. Hope that I don't go turbo though. As I put it back onto my back I made sure the desert eagle, the AK's, and SMG were loaded as well as the shot gun and when I was done I took a deep breath. "HEY MOTHER FUCKERS!" I yelled as I jumped over the railing and used both AK's as I opened fire on them all and as I tumbled on the ground I tossed aside the empty AK in my left hand and pulled out the SMG as I shot it as I swung upwards as the bullets bit the redcoat in front of me as I then tossed aside the empty AK in my right hand as I spun around as I pulled out the shotgun.

Causing my hand with my SMG to knock aside the recoat that got mowed down to be knocked to the side as I then swung my shotgun forwards and fired as it hit the two approaching redcoats that were going to try and stab me. I then spun around as I fired the SMG and killed 5 more of them until it ran empty as I then threw it at an approaching redcoat, stunning him a little, as I then cocked the shotgun and fired at him knocking him backwards into two other redcoats but as I tried to fire again I found I couldn't as they now opened fire on me as I back flipped multiple times and on the last flip I pulled out the sword as I was in a stance in front of the others.

"OPEN FIRE!" one of them yelled and as they did it was like the sword in my hand took control and it blocked all of their bullets as I then threw it and it impaled into one of the officers as I ran at said officer and jumped onto his chest as I then pushed off with the sword as I also pulled out the desert eagle and fired at multiple redcoats as I killed them with a shot each and as I came down I stab the sword down into the redcoat underneath me and I looked around and noticed it was the last one before I felt myself collapse once more and black out.

Luna's POV

As soon as Alex collapsed me and the others rushed over to him and checked on him. "How was he even awake sister? And how was he able to move around with his nerves being all broken along with his bones? And how did he get the sword?!" I asked her.

"I do not know. But I fear that the second rift had happened near where he was placed." She said. "The sword we will need to study immediately."

"Can we see what happened to his nerves first at least sister? I know we all need to know what has happened to him." She nodded as her horn lit up and so did mine as I checked his lower half. All of his nerves are already reconnected with his brain and they are all already healed. But I can feel that they are getting power from somewhere. As I searched I gasped at what I found. The power was coming from the sword and when I looked up at my sister she looked very worried. "Sister…"

"he is all healed… because of the sword… this is a very ancient magic my dear sister… even before mother and father… he is connected with the sword as it feeds him power and helps his regeneration on all his broken cells as well as his bones." She said.

"Is there a way we could disconnect him from the sword?" I asked and she shook her head.

"He has been connected with it since his duel with blueblood. Disconnecting it would mean certain death for him…" she said as I looked to find him starting to wake up.

"Everypony back up. He needs some breathing room." Cadence said as his eyes opened and he sat up.

"What the fucking hell happened? I remember killing a bunch of redcoats before I blacked out." He said.

"That's because you killed the new humans. They did wear red." My sister told him.

"They are from when America was first formed hundreds of years ago." He said as he stood up with my help. "They are from the British empire. Or I think empire but that's what I always thought in school." He then said. "This just means that they are coming from anytime from my world." And with that the feeling returned before it disappeared.

"I just felt another rift sister." I then said worriedly.

"What the fucking hell happened to me?" we then heard as we surrounded Alex as he and Sarah looked around in shock.

"I remember that voice!" Alex then said as he pushed past us. "Gus?!"
