Chapter 1

(Not mine only translated)

The air gave off only a little shiver for anyone during the night. The bright moon illuminated the large and extensive forest below. The wind whistled through the leaves that swayed gently, emitting the slightest whisper.

A place in the trees contained a large and deep crack in the earth, hidden by the canle of the surrounding forest. The floor of the canyon contained a huge skeleton of some fallen beast. Immediately beyond was the mouth of a cave that led to the side of the mountain.

Beyond the dark and humid tunnel there was a very large room that contained a monstrous statue of a multi-eyed humanoid creature that came out of the side of the stone wall. His chained arms emerged from the ground, rising above the small group of hooded figures that were directly below the ground.

All the ninjas who were together wore matching black robes with red clouds patched everywhere. Some members of the group wore headbands on their foreheads, which had a deep scratch on the symbol on the metal plate in the center. All members also wore a single ring on one of their fingers.

All these elements were evidence of belonging to the highest-ranking criminal organization in the land of the ninjas. All the members were rank S criminals, each with extreme and unique powers.

The Akatsuki organization.

In total, five members were standing in the room, waiting for the others to arrive. Everyone was sitting in silence, except for a member who was sitting spinning his long triple-leaf red scythe over and over again. The gray-haired ninja shouted in frustration, "Damn it! How much longer do we have to wait?"

"Shut up, Hidan..." snarled the masked member, his solid green eyes burning in the darkness, "Stop complaining. They gave us orders to meet here."

Hidan made fun of his partner, "Why don't you kiss my ass, Kakazu? I know why we're here, I'm asking you what it is that's taking so long!"

"Whatever the reason, it can't be changed."

Hidan snarled, approaching Kakazu's face, "Well, thank you kakuzu, I never realized that!" With sarcasm thrown in every word.

The two ninja continued arguing while the other members sat frustrated as well; they knew what was happening, but they didn't understand why they had to be all together to complete the process. The red-haired puppet ninja looked at his side, seeing his blond-haired companion slowly moving his closed hands together. Curiosity took hold of his boredom, wondering what was being done, "what are you creating this time, Deidara?"

Deidara looked up, her hair covered half of her face. He smiled at the fellow artist, "This, Sasori, is one of my personal favorite works..." he opened his fists, revealing his mouths in each of his palms. The left-handed mouth spat a ball of clay on the ground, which began to transform into a long snake. Deidara smiled at the creature that was now slipping, "my self-guided snake bombs. Once they leave, they look for what they see or what stands in their way."

Sasori rolled his eyes; his art form was the creation and control of puppets, capable of lasting forever. Deidara only worried about creating art that was 'an explosion' as he always said. The two artists with contradictory styles always argued about which one was better.

Standing alone, another ninja also looked impatient. He was much taller than everyone else in the room with him. His blue skin shines through the light of the room, revealing the gills of his cheeks. Hanging over his shoulder was his weapon; a huge sword inside a white envelope except for the end, revealing a mass of sharp denticles like bluish purple knives scattered all over the surface. Kisame didn't understand why his partner Itachi went to capture the Eight Tails alone. I wanted to have the opportunity to fight against the considered perfect Jinjuriki warrior from the hidden village of the Cloud. His thoughts were interrupted when a few steps began to resonate in the cave.

Entering the room was Itachi Uchiha, one of the strongest members of the group. His red eyes of Sharingan are shown through the darkness under his black bangs hanging from his face. Lying on his shoulder was the unconscious body of a dark-skinned ninja, who had multiple swords on his back.

Kisame smiled, revealing his sharp teeth, "Then, Itachi, you have finally chosen to join us. I hope the Eight Tails has caused you trouble?"

Itachi looked at the shark-skinned ninja with his face without emotion, "The rumors were true, he could completely control the beast. However, he was still no rival to my genjustu."

Hidan approached Itachi, smiling with satisfaction at the body that was being transported, "Well, that's one of them, now where is the other?"

Suddenly, a green mass began to emerge through the ground in the middle of the group. Venus' giant trap opens after a few moments, revealing Zetsu's main body; a being of divided personality that consists of a half-body of white and another black. Bright yellow eyes that are shown under his green hair. The black half suddenly spoke with a deep and hoarse voice, "they are here."

All the members of the room were silent as the pair of figures entered the large cave. The figure on the left was a woman with blue hair tied up in a bun. He had a paper flower in his hair and had a piercing under his lip. Konan was the only woman member of Akatsuki, however, she was not one of those who could be called weak. Her unique jutsu made her a formidable opponent for any ninja. His companion, however, was considered a god for everyone.

Pain entered the dim light, revealing the numerous black piercings on his face, especially on his nose. His eyes opened slowly, revealing what gave him his extraordinary powers; purple eyes surrounded by a pattern of rings; the rinnegan.

Being one of the founding members of the organization, he was the authoritarian figure of the other members of akatsuki

Deidara noticed something strange in Pain; there was only one of him. "Pain, where is the rest of... you?"

Like Itachi, Pain's face contained no emotion; only a cold look appeared from his eyes, "the Nine Tails was much more powerful than he expected; he destroyed the other five paths."

"So, being here means that you did it. Hmm." Deidara smiled.

Konan raised his arm, which controlled the mass of paper that floated behind her. The body levitated in the room, wrapped inside his paper jutsu like a mummy. The body was deposited on the ground in front of the rest of the members.

Itachi looked at the unconscious form, then returned to Pain, "What happened to the Hidden Village of the Leaf?"

The orange-haired figure looked at him with a straighter face, "I showed them the true meaning of the pain."

"So, did you take the liberty of destroying it?"

Kisame chuckled at his partner's curiosity, "Why do you care what happened to your old village? You were the one who destroyed your entire clan."

Hidan looked back and forth between the two jinjurikis who had been brought into the room by the other members. He looked at Pain, his eyes filled with unanswering questions, "Very well, we have the last two beasts now. Why did we all have to come here instead of sealing it from where we were?"Kisame didn't understand why his partner Itachi went to capture the Eight Tails alone. I wanted to have the opportunity to fight against the considered perfect Jinjuriki warrior from the hidden village of the Cloud.

He looked at Pain, his eyes filled with unanswering questions, "Very well, we have the last two beasts now. Why did we all have to come here instead of sealing it from where we were?"The giant fox roared in anger: "I could be controlled because you took me out of my old host! Your genjutsu trick won't work with me this time! "Opening his huge mouth, a mixture of red and blue energy began to swirl inside his open mouth. The chakra joined and formed a solid purple sphere of dense matter. And then-

¡BOOOOOOOM!

The explosion of giant purple energy rushed towards Tobi, who once again used his jutsu, allowing the sphere to pass directly through him, "Hm hm hm, no matter how powerful you are, your attacks can't hurt me so long-" he suddenly stopped. and remembered where he stood. Turning, he saw that the explosion was heading directly towards the statue of Gedo Mazo, which contained the energy of the seven beasts already sealed. Fear hit his heart when the plasma ball hit the giant head.

The explosion caused even more sections of the roof to fall, revealing the dark sky above. Seeing his opportunity, the fox went through the remaining rocks and disappeared from sight. All that could be heard from inside the cave was the great roar of the beast, roaring in celebration of his freedom.

Deidara prepared to chase him, but he saw a ten-meter rock coming directly towards him. Raise your hands and shoot multiple clay birds, all flying towards the huge piece. As soon as they are centimeters away from him, he applauds, "Katsu!" The birds detonate, turning the rock into millions of gravel particles that fall to the ground.

Pain dodged a series of small rocks that fell in his direction, and headed towards where Itachi dropped the body of the eight tails. However, when he arrives at the place, he is surprised to see that the body is gone. Then he thinks to himself: 'In the heat of the battle, the genjutsu placed in the mind must have been interrupted. The jinjuriki must have woken up and used the fox as a distraction to escape. He looked at Tobi, who was looking at the smoke that enveloped the statue.

Tobi wasn't sure what had happened with the attack on Gedo Mazo. He tried to distinguish through the cloud of dust that surrounded him, but before he could see anything, a burst of bright light pierced the cloud and hit him before he had the opportunity to materialize his body. He felt lifted from the ground, unable to control the movement of his body. Looking around, he saw that the other members of Akatsuki were also trapped in the strange energy.

Hidan began to agitate, trying to escape from the clutches of energy, "What the hell is going on!?"

"I can't free myself!" Sasori shouted.

Konan shouted as she felt forced to fly, "What's going on!?

Before any of them could understand the situation, the light joined the ten akatsuki, forming a ball of energy that began to spin quickly. Suddenly, the akatsuki felt sunk through a bright vortex of light, throwing them through a tunnel of matter.

As he fell, Tobi had the strangest feeling, almost as if his body was moving when the rays of electricity shook him. Looking down, he could have sworn that his hands began to transform, his fingers got into his palms. Then, his hands began to solidify at the end, turning into a hard and unrified stump. Before I could really believe it, the end of the tunnel suddenly disappeared, giving a view of the rapidly approaching ground.

One after another, the ten bodies hit the ground with tremendous force, knocking each one down instantly.

The night sky over Canterlot shone wonderfully from the moon and many stars that night. Princess Luna smiled from her balcony and at the work she had done. I had previously decided that I wanted to take some extra time to put details in the sky tonight, since the last nights were mostly blocked by the clouds. Looking at the gardens, he saw two figures walking among the many statues. Even from the height of his room, he recognized them both immediately.

Jogging slowly on the grass, the tall white unicorn princess Celestia walked next to the statue of a large unicorn. Looking at him, he sat quietly for a few moments. After several seconds of silence, he looked at the purple unicorn next to him, "Now Twilight, what statue do you think this is?"

Twilight Sparkle stared at the statue, reflecting on the many options in his head. He noticed the many pieces of armor that the unicorn wore. His eyes followed the side of the body to the side, and they saw the cutie mark of the curved sword engraved on the stone. His mind immediately clicked, "Oh, this is Quickswipe! He was a commander two thousand years ago during the dragon rebellion."

Celestia smiled, "Correct. You haven't missed one yet."

Twilight smiled, proud of her success. Despite coming to Canterlot to visit his mentor, he always enjoyed having occasional history tests. He continued walking through the garden, but suddenly he stopped when his eyes glimpsed the statue to his right.

Installed on the top of a hill was the Discord stone prison. He was placed on that hill after Twilight and his friends defeated him with the elements of harmony several months earlier. Walking to the base, Twilight could have sworn that she heard her sinister laughter inside her head. A sudden shiver ran through his spine, causing his hair to stand up.

Celestia saw how her student reacted when she saw the spirit of imprisoned chaos. Walking towards Twilight, he placed a wing on the back of the young unicorns, "you don't have to worry anymore, Twilight. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Twilight looked at Celestia, her face full of fear, "But what if she comes out again? I don't think I can face it again."

"He won't come back, Twilight," said a voice from behind.

Twilight turned to see the lunar princess standing behind her, causing a smile to spread over her face, "Princess Luna."

"You shouldn't worry about Discord, because we always warn him to stay as he is." Luna said in her standard Canterlot style.

Twilight arched a confused eyebrow, "Do you warn him?"

"Why, of course, we give him a taste of Canterlot's real voice. So ..." a big smile spread over his face as he trotted next to his sister and his student, then he flew up to get into Discord's face. IF YOU, A MULLED CREATURE, DARE TO RETURN, YOU WILL FACE THE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT! " he shouted, causing the statue to almost fall.

Twilight couldn't help laughing when she saw Luna scream at the imprisoned spirit. Celestia smiled at Luna, happy that her sister lightened the moment of depression. "Well, sister, it seems that you have learned to use your voice at the right times."

"Well, of course! Twilight showed us-" Luna stopped, capturing the incorrect grammar she used at times, "he showed me ... how to control my voice for casual conversations. But, I still enjoy using THE REAL VOICE!"

At first Twilight shrank at the last sound wave that hit her, but she erased it when she saw how much Luna enjoyed it. After a second, the three of them in the garden began to laugh at how the night ended.

The moment of happiness was interrupted when a brilliant explosion of light appeared several kilometers away. The three of them in the garden looked shocked at what they were seeing. Twilight looked at her mentor's face and saw that she was as confused as she was.

Luna waved her wings and flew over the others trying to have a better view, "Sister, is this your magic?"

"No, Luna. I don't know what that is." Celestia shouted. Something that bothered Celestia was what she detected; her magic noticed that the light contained multiple powerful groups of some form of energy that she did not recognize.

After about twelve seconds, the light disappeared, but the energy remained in that place. Princess Celestia felt worried about what happened; everything that appeared in the distance with the light, did not go with him.

(NONE OF THIS IS MINE)

Chapter 2

Conscious thinking began to return to Tobi's mind. All he could feel was his body sore from the hard landing before. I had no idea how he had been, but I could tell from the feeling in the air that he was no longer inside the hiding place. Rolling on his back, he slowly opened his only exposed eye and was surprised by what he saw.

He was no longer in the forest that surrounded the cave, but in some strange field in which he had never seen before. The hills that surrounded the clearing rose high enough to almost block the trees behind them. Looking up, even the sky and the moon looked different than before; it seemed much, much closer to the ground than normal.

'What is this place?' He thought to himself. Slowly, he stood up on all fours, getting ready to get up. However, strangely, when he tried to stand up, it was very difficult and uncomfortable for his body to do so. Falling on his arms, the feeling felt natural now as he remained in all the forms of his limbs, causing him confusion, 'maybe my body is exhausted from whatever it is-' he stopped in the middle of the prayer when he looked at his arm.

His arm is covered with a brown fur that extends to where his hand should be, but instead ends in a hard stump at the end. Following his arm, he saw that he still wore the black cape of akatsuki on his back, but looking back, he saw that the rest of his body had also changed; his legs looked very similar to the condition in which his arms were now, and coming out of his end there was a black tail.

Tobi couldn't believe what he was seeing; somehow he had transformed "What is this? Is it ... a form of Genjutsu?"

"No, it's not," said a familiar voice from behind.

Turning around, Tobi saw his assistant Zetsu. OR ... What it looked like Zetsu; Walking towards him there was a horse that wore a cape identical to his, whose face was apparently divided in two, one half black and the other white. The well-known green Venus fly trap emerged from the top of the cape, surrounding the creature's head. Tobi looked curiously at the transformed Zetsu, "So, it seems like I'm not imagining it."

The white half Zetsu began to speak: "This strange form that has been given to us is similar to the native species of creatures," said his highest voice. He began the black half, his voice deeper and much more sinister, "I don't have the least idea of what happened."

Tobi looked at his side, seeing that the other Akatsuki was beginning to wake up. As he got closer, he realized something seemingly impossible, everyone else had also changed. All of them were horses of different colors who wore similar clothes.

The first to stand up was a large blue horse with gills on his cheeks. The creature groaned in pain as he stood up, revealing the mouth with sharp teeth. "What happened?" Kisame asked as he took a limb to his head, but he shouted in panic when he saw the helmet approaching his face, "What the hell ... What is this!?"

On one side, two different forms began to rise as well. Sasori shook his head to try to clarify his thoughts, "Uhh ... What happened? I thought that I-" his voice got stuck in his throat when he saw the orange horse standing next to him. But what surprised him the most was the blond mane that the horse had, which had a style exactly the same as that of his partner, "... Will you Deidara?"

Deidara looked in the direction of the voice, her eyes were blurred when she woke up, "Ah, damn it, what the hell!" He shouted when he saw him; a red-haired, almost pink horse stood next to his face, "What kind of creature are you!?""What are you talking about? It's me," said the neutral horse.

"... S-sasori?"

"Yes, it's me. I don't know what kind of jutsu this is, but somehow we have become horses.

"I can see that, but what-" Deidara was surprised looking at Sasori's forehead, "What is that?"

Sasori lifted his helmet and felt something sticking out of his head. Groping around, he pointed and was sensitive to his touch, "N-I don't know... but whatever it is, I can feel that he has a lot of my chakra."

Deidara looked at his own body to see his change. Lifting his front helmets, he noticed that he still had his extra mouths at the bottom, which made him smile, "Well, I still have my precious pump makers, hmm." His eyes widened when he felt a strange sensation on his back, he turned and saw what seemed to be huge wings attached to his back, "..." Deidara directed his hand or helmet to his back, feeling the wings to confirm that they were real ''emmmm... I have wings...''

Another member got up from the ground, his head stunned by the impact. Getting up, she tried to find out what was going on, but she was too surprised by what she saw; her body was now that of a horse with a cream-colored fur, and behind her sat a small curly tail of blue, the same color as her hair. "What kind of power is this?"

Suddenly, his mind clicked, which made him turn to see another horse of a faded gray. Underneath his orange mane was a high horn and many piercings on his snout, ears and lips. Realizing who he was, he ran and knelt next to the body, "Pain?"Once the ten were together in the clearing, there were many confused glances while inspecting the others who stood together. Deidara was the first to speak, "So, does anyone have an idea of what the hell happened?"

"Is this a kind of Genjutsu?" Kakazu asked.

Itachi looked up, "No. My eyes would be able to detect if there was any shape on me."

"It has something to do with the energy of the Gedo Mazo ..." Tobi intervened, "he must have transported us to another dimension or planet of some kind."

"Speaking of that..." Kisame said, looking at Pain and Konan, "what happened? You were supposed to subdue the jinjuriki before taking him there."

Konan threw his own mockery at him, "We stopped him. Somehow, the seal that covered it must have been broken when we arrived at the cave."

"Well, why the hell do we change then!?" Hidan yelled.

Tobi looked in his direction, "Zetsu has already done the exploration around this area, and discovered that some strange form of horses are the native species here. Maybe sending us here changed us to equalize the local population."

"Well, why are we different from all of you?" Sasori asked, pointing at his horn.

Pain also looked at the horn that was growing on his own forehead, "I can feel much of my own chakra focused on this."

The white Zetsu spoke halfway, "It seems that a type of horse can perform his own ninjutsu with his horn."

"What about Konan and I with these wings?" Deidara spat.

Konan gave him a confused look, "Wing wings?" He looked at his back and noticed the small folded wings next to him. She never noticed them before.

"Another type of horse here has wings with which they have the ability to fly." The black Zetsu answered halfway.

"Flying?" Deidara smiled, "So I no longer need my bird to travel. Hmm."

"What's up with our ninjutsu? How do we work it without signs with our hands?" Kisame questioned, shaking one of his helmets in frustration. Despite learning to lift his Samehada without hands or fingers, he wanted to know how to work on his aquatic style.

"Let me prove it to you." Itachi said as he walked towards the center of the group. Leaning back on his two hind legs, he joins his front helmets, "Jutsu: clone of shadows!"

A shadow clone of Itachi appeared from the puff of smoke. Looking back at the others, he explained how it worked: "When we put our hands together in our world, we had to imagine the signs we weaving. I have to do the same here. You can do all your standard jutsu."

Kisame laughed out loud, "So by putting our 'hands' together and imagining the signals with the hands we need, can we do our techniques? Oh, this is surprising."

"Enough." Tobi said, "we have to find a way to return to our world. Now that we know that our powers have remained with us, it means that you can fight, therefore, I need all of you to leave."

"Shall we go? Where?" Kakazu questioned.

"Go and find all the information you can get about any great source of chakra that this world has. I want to know where we are and how we can return."

"What about the local species that live here?" Itachi asked.

"I don't care what they do to the ways of life here. I only care about finding a way to our world. Meet here tomorrow night with whatever you find."

The others nodded as they separated in their usual partners and began to move around the countryside in different directions. Zetsu approached Tobi, "What do you want me to do?"

"Continue your recognition." Tobi responded coldly.

Zetsu closed the fly trap around him and began to sink into the ground. After several moments, he left, leaving the masked leader alone in the field, "Maybe I can also find information," he said to himself.

Activating his Sharingan, a swirl expanded from the hole in the mask and pushed Tobi into the abyss, leaving the field once occupied empty.

In an instant, Pain's eyes suddenly opened, revealing the Rinnegan. As if he were unfazed, he rose from the ground, his face still stripped of any form of emotion, "It seems that the power of that light has physically transformed us."

Konan stared at the opaque face of Deva del Pain's path, "It seems that Nagato can still control it in this place," she thought to herself.

"WHAT A SHIT!"

All the Akatsuki turned to see a white horse with a gray mane and a tail going crazy, "What the fuck is this!? What did that magic do to me!?"

Hidan didn't stop screaming when a brown horse with a white and gray mask approached him: "Shut up, Hidan. Complaining about this won't change anything."

Hidan looked at Kakazu with his deep red eyes, "And acting calmly will make everything better? I'm a fucking horse!"

"We are all horses. We have to solve this," said another voice.

Turning to his right, Hidan saw a smoke-gray horse walking towards him. When the creature opened its eyes, Hidan immediately recognized the two red Sharingan, "Itachi?" He said.

Itachi gave him a cold look as he walked towards the main group of other members. Hidan glared at him as he walked towards his scythe, confused about how to grab it. When he put his helmet on him, he was surprised to feel a grip on the handle despite not having fingers. Trying not to think too much about it, he hung the gun from his right shoulder and walked with his other three limbs.

Chapter 3

In the gardens of Canterlot, Twilight looked up at the sky long after the strange light had disappeared. The appearance of something so strange kept her captivated, thinking about the possibilities of what could have been. He had been so curious about what he saw that he never realized that the princesses had moved away a little.

Celestia looked over her shoulder, making sure that her student was not within the auditory range. Seeing that they were safe, he turned to his sister, "Moon, did you feel that strange burst of energy from that light?"

Luna turned her head in the direction Twilight was looking, her eyes full of curiosity, "Yes, I felt the objects inside as well."

"Whatever came from that light, it was something alive and I wasn't alone."

Luna turned to her older sister, "Do you think those beings could be a threat?"

Celestia turned, making sure that Twilight didn't get up from her place, "I don't even know what they are. I would have to see it for myself."

"Do you want to go out into the forest yourself to look for the newcomers?"

Celestia reflected on the idea, but she wanted to know more about beings before confronting them, "No. S

end a small group of soldiers to inspect the surrounding land. Make them look for any suspicious activity with ponies or other creatures."

"It's okay. Now, what about Miss Sparkle?"

Looking back, Celestia saw that Twilight had moved from her place and began to walk towards her, "If you ask, just say that we are investigating it. Don't tell him that the troops are leaving, since I want Shining Armor to go too... "

Luna looked curiously at her older sister, "Are you sure that Sir Shining should see?"

"Yes. I want to make sure that if these new beings are not passive, the soldiers will have the opportunity to defend themselves."

"Good." and with that, Luna took the heavens back to the main throne room of the castle.

After seeing her sister leave, Celestia turned her attention to her approaching student. Twilights' face seemed to be blocked in a dazed look as he advanced, his eyes fixed on his teacher, "Princess, have no idea what that was?"

Celestia looked at Twilight, her face remained in her normal and calm behavior, "You don't have to worry, Twilight. I assure you that everything is fine."

"But what's up-"

"I'm going to investigate the strange event. There is no need for you to stress your thoughts about it. You should enter the castle and get some rest."

Twilight thought of asking for more information about what she saw, but decided not to do it, seeing that her teacher had already planned to find out. She nodded in obedience and passed by the princess of the sun towards the great castle.

After Twilight left the gardens, Celestia turned to the sky, her thoughts running through her mind, 'Now, who are you, strange beings?'

Deep in the Everfree Forest, two figures wrapped in black and red uniforms trotted slowly under the thicket; dense leaves of the trees above them. The duo had no idea where they were going or what they were supposed to be looking for, but they did what their leader told them without complaining.

"Ahg!" The blond Pegasus snarled, lifting his helmet from the ground. He turned him around, seeing that once again dirt and grass had been put in the mouth that was there. His anger continued to grow because of the problem he had during the last hour, "How am I supposed to walk and always concentrate on keeping my mouth shut? I hate having to deal with this! Hmm."Deidara had lost count of how many times he had to stop to give time to spit out the bad-tasting dirt from his precious mouths. The only thing that attracted the taste buds of his previous hands was his special clay full of chakra. Suddenly, his mind thought of his clay; he had no idea if he could find more on this earth.

Looking back at the two bags on his side, he was grateful to have filled his supply shortly before meeting the other akatsuki inside that cave. Then he turned to his partner, whose eyes were focused on the strange horn that was growing on his forehead.

Deidara also kept his eyes on him; he had no idea why some of the others had become basic horses while others, like him, grew things like wings or horns. He decided to break the silence between them, "Have you already discovered how to use that thing?"

Sasori turned to his partner after hearing the question, "Something; I can feel my chakra flowing towards him as if they were my old fingers. I think I can use it well. Have you figured out how to use those ... things?"

Deidara looked at his back, noticing how his new appendage was tucked next to him. Curious to know how to use them, he moved the muscles that were on his shoulders, feeling how the wings began to move. I form a small smile "I feel them there. Let me try to use them."

Opening the wings, he began to shake them up and down with force. After a second, he got up from the ground. At first it was very out of balance, but after floating for a moment, it began to float almost perfectly flat. Then he began to fly forward through the trees, testing his agility. To his surprise, he learned to master the wings quickly and laughed when he saw that he was much more maneuverable than his large clay owl on which he rode before.

Sasori observed how Deidara enjoyed her new form at that time. Then he turned his attention to his own body, curious about the magnitude of the change. Feeling in his robe, he noticed that he still had his invocation scrolls, which gave him a little relief knowing that he had some puppets to use.

Then, Sasori was curious to know if his own body had changed from the way he thought. Unbuttoning the top of his outfit, he opened it, giving him space to look under his shirt. What he saw gave him a small smile, 'I guess some things are still the same'.

The sun rose to the sky over Ponyville, giving light to the city once dark. The shadows of the buildings spread on the floor while the bright orb continued to ascend. Inside the small town, the ponies began to leave their homes, preparing to start their daily work and the errands they had.

Next to the city, a large cloud floated in its established place. Several streams of colored rainbows fell from the fountains over the top, which gave it a unique appearance. Then, the entrance door to the house opened, revealing the owner.

Rainbow Dash yawned as he walked towards his porch of clouds. His rainbow-colored mane and cyan coat stood out in all kinds of strange cuts, showing that he had just gotten out of bed. He shook his body to wake up, and also to straighten his messy hair. After fixing his hair, he looked around, thinking about what to do.

Cloudsdale had chosen not to create clouds for today, so Rainbow had the day off. She already had plans to go out with her friend Spitfire, but that wasn't until later that day. Looking towards Ponyville, he decided to go get a pony to go and hang out for a while. Opening his wings, he took off to the sky, loving the feeling of the still cold air as he blew through his hair, causing it to bristle. Flying through the air, he did a somersault in mid-flight and then made a series of barrel turns towards the ground. Once close to the ground, it flattened its level, sliding about six meters from the ground.

As Rainbow flew to the city, he passed by Sweet Apple Acres, "Ugh. Applejack hasn't come back yet." she snarled. Normally that farm would be his first stop before the city, but Applejack and his family had gone to Hoovesdale to sell a large amount of their apples. Seeing that that option was ruled out, the Pegasus continued towards Ponyville.

Once inside the city, he flew by the many boisterous ponies who were walking, without seeing any of his friends. Then, he flew to the only place that was the usual meeting place for all of them; Sugarcube Corner.

As he walked through the doors, Rainbow looked around and noticed that he was especially full that morning. The main floor of the bakery was stuck while the ponies tried to keep their place in the long line. Without being able to see through the crowd, he tried to look over the mass of manes in front of her to-.

"HELLO RAINBOW DASH!"

"AH!" Rainbow jumped in reaction to the scream in his ear. Turning around, he looked at the pink-skinned pony who was laughing foolishly, "Damn it, Pinkie! I hate it when you do that!"

Pinkie Pie laughed at Rainbow's reaction, "Hehe he! Oh Rainbow, you know how I always love to scare." She approached her friend, landing a few centimeters from her face, "What are you doing here?"

Rainbow took a step back, allowing himself a space to breathe, "Uh, well, I wanted to see if you wanted to hang out."

Pinkie's face suddenly turned into a big frown, "Aww. I'm sorry, but I have to help Mr. and Mrs. Cake with the crowd today." a bell rang behind the counter, causing Pinkie Pie's face to light up again, "Oh! I have to go!" Pinkie then somehow managed to run under the crowd of ponies, suddenly, as if she could bend reality to her will, she appeared on the other side of the counter dressed in a kitchen cap and an apron, "Next order!"

With a frown, Rainbow turned around and looked at the tables and saw his other friends; the white unicorn Rarity, and the yellow pegasus Fluttershy sitting together. Happy to see them, Rainbow trotted, "Hello girls."

"Oh, Rainbow, darling!" Rarity cheered.

"Oh, um, hello Rainbow. How are you today?" Fluttershy whispered, his face partially hidden by his pink mane.

"So, what will you two do after this?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, Rarity and I were going to the Spa for our weekly treatment."

Rainbow rolled his eyes after hearing that, "Seriously, what's wrong with you two and that place? They always go there."

"Well, how do you expect us to keep our hair so fabulous!?" Rarity exclaimed as he threw his purple mane aside. "You should come with us," he said with a big smile.

Rainbow grimaced at the mere thought of the offer, "No thanks. I don't make spas."

Rarity frowned at the decline, "You should really clean up sometime. You always look so... Egh."

Rainbow Dash looked at the seamstress, "You know, I like my appearance. And I'm leaving here."

"Where are you going?" Fluttershy asked.

"I'm going to practice my movements. Since I'm training with the Wonderbolts now, I must stay on top of my game." Rainbow said before going out the door and taking off through the air.

Rarity shook her head, "ugh. Just because he trains like an athlete doesn't mean he has to look like one."

"Oh, I just remembered; Rarity, can I ask you something?" Fluttershy whispered.

"Of course, Fluttershy."

"Um, did you see that strange light last night?"

"Light?" Rarity didn't know what Fluttershy was talking about.

Rainbow Dash flew through the air, making several difficult turns and throwing himself to the ground at the same time. After completing her little routine, she smiled proudly at her achievement, "Ah, yes! By making these moves, there's no way I won't be part of the team soon!"

Looking up at the sky, he noticed a small rainbow, which provoked another idea in his mind, "Now, only one thing that will complete it. A Sonic Rainboom!"

Seeing how close he was to the town, he knew that making that move so close could be a problem for some of the ponies on the ground. Turning, he took off through the air towards the Everfree forest. He climbed over the trees and stretched his legs, preparing for the definitive trick he had.

"Okay, Rainbow, you have this in the bag! Just keep your head down, and there will be no way that-"

Two figures below suddenly appeared in sight through the thick cover of trees in the forest below, drawing Rainbow's attention, "Eh? What is that?"

Seeing two ponies walking through the Everfree Forest was already strange in itself, since most were so afraid to approach that forest that they didn't dare to put on an ahy helmet. The other part that seemed strange was that, from where I was, I could say that they were wearing some kind of matching dark outfits.

Curiosity overcomes her, she decides to fly and see who she could be.

Chapter 4

Far above the ground, the sun began to throw its warm rays from the sky, causing the dew of the shaded ground to evaporate. Under the high mountains there was a small dirt road, and next to it was a small plain of grass.

In the middle of the field, Itachi and Kisame trotted slowly through the grass that reached their knees. After walking all night, they had not met any other living being through their travels, and they began to feel that they would never do it when the night came.

Stopping on the small path, Itachi looked back and forth along the path, trying to distinguish where he was going. "If we continue along this path for a certain time. There is a good chance that we will run into a village at some point."

Kisame looked at his younger companion, then looked at the mountain range in front of them, "Heh, I agree with the road. I'm not in the mood to climb."

Itachi was about to say something, but he detected movement along the way to his right with his Sharingan. Focusing on his vision, he saw a small cart heading towards them, "I see someone."

"Mmm?" Kisame looked at where Itachi was looking and also saw something in the distance. "What is it?"

Itachi continued to look at the group that apparently were approaching all two "It looks like a big horse pulling a cart. Inside there are two others; one old and one young. And there's one more walking next door."

Kisame formed a smile full of teeth, adjusting his big sword over his shoulder, "Well, how about we have a little fun? I would like to try how well I still fight in this new body."

"No. We shouldn't cause problems until we have a reason to do so. We must gather information. Maybe they can take us or guide us to a village for that."

Kisame snarled for not having to do anything, but he knew that Itachi always had a plan, "Good. We'll do it your way."

Itachi walked away from his blue companion and went to the approaching car. 'Perhaps my eyes can cause fear to most of them here,' he thought to himself. Deactivating his Sharingan, his now dark brown eyes looked at the approaching group.

"How are you, Big Mac? Are you tired?" Asked the orange mare who was walking next to the car.

"Eenope," replied the great red stallion, Big Mac.

"Well then." Applejack walked away from his older brother and went to the road in front of them. They had been traveling from Hoovesdale all night. Although he was able to rest in the cart, Big Mac decided to keep pulling during the night to save time.

From the back of the car, a small yellow colt with red hair stood on the side, "Hey AJ, how much longer until we get back?"

Applejack looked around to try to find out where they were at the time, "I'm not very sure, Applebloom. I'll wait no more than an hour. Why, what's going on?"

Applebloom frowned at his older sister, "I don't know how much longer I can stand Granny Smith's snoring. It's driving me crazy!" She looked at the floor of the cart where an older green mare was lying in a corner of the cart with slime coming out of her mouth while she snoring loudly.

Applejack laughed at his sister's suffering, "Don't worry, sugar cube, it won't be long before Ponyville." Adjusting his hat, he jogged again with his brother. "Oh, that's fine." The young colt growled as she walked to the front of the car and leaned to the side, letting out a long sigh. Then he noticed something in front of the roadside, "Hey, who are they?"

"Uh?, who are they that?" Applejack asked, then he noticed that his sister was looking in front of them. Looking ahead, and he saw two strange ponies walking on the opposite side of the road. They both stopped and sat there, looking at her and her family as they approached. A strange feeling took hold of her, "Big Mac, stop the wagon."

"Eeyup." Big Mac responded, having the same feeling that his sister had.

Applejack looked curiously at the ponies in front of him. Then, the smallest of the two began to walk towards her. Most of his body was covered by a black robe dotted with red clouds. What he could see was that he had a smoke-gray coat and an almost black mane and tail. He tried to keep a smile on his face as he tried to talk, "Uh, hello stranger. Do you need anything?"

"Hello. My name is Itachi. Maybe you can help me and my partner."

"Your partner?" Applejack looked up, but felt that a rush was passing by him. She looked at him in horror as her little sister ran directly towards the unknown pony, "Applebloom, wait!"

Kisame took a step back when the colt hurried to approach him. He felt his personal space broken by how close she was, "What do you want?"

"Wow! You are certainly a strange-looking pony. Applebloom exclaimed with enthusiasm, "Hey Big Mac, this pony is even bigger than you! "

Applejack looked at the strange blue pony. His brother was a bigger than average stallion, however, this pony was several centimeters taller than him. On his cheeks he had some strange marks under his eyes. Then, I notice the very large object that he had hanging over his shoulder, "Is that... is that a sword?"

Kisame smiled, showing his sharp teeth, "Yes, it is. Maybe you want to-"

He was interrupted by the old pony who grabbed his face with the helmets. Applejack shouted at what he saw, "Grandma!" Now I was afraid, not knowing what these strange ponies would do.

Granny Smith looked curiously at the face of the pony that was moving with his helmets, "Well, you're a weird guy, aren't you?" Then she opened her mouth, revealing her teeth sawn with knives, "Eh? It looks like you have to brush and brush your teeth. Don't you think?"

Kisame took a step back to get away from the invading old woman. His face wrinkled in a growl, and he grabbed his Samehada with his helmet, "what do you think he does-" then looked into Itachi's eyes, who gave him a threatening look. Kisame snarled, kept his nerves intact and released his sword allowing him to rest again.

Itachi looked at Applejack again, "Maybe you can direct us to the nearest village. My partner and I are traveling from a very distant land and we need supplies."

"Well, why don't they follow us..." Applebloom shouted, "Ponyville is on this road!"

Applejack turned to his sister, giving her an angry whisper, "Applebloom, what are you doing!? We don't even know these ponies!"

"Oh, let's go sister! They seem friendly."

Applejack looked back at the two ponies, who looked at her directly. Despite the threatening appearance they showed, they had not threatened their family in any way. After contemplating the idea, he finally sighed and looked at the two stallions "Well, everyone can follow us to the city, okay?"Itachi nodded his head in agreement, the same as Kisame. Applejack tried to smile, despite the strange feelings that ran through it. He signaled his brother to start pulling the car. As soon as he began to move, she trotted with him, staying closer to her older brother.

Continuing along, Kisame let out a little laugh, "Well, Itachi, you can certainly give a convincing appearance. They will take us right where we want."

"There is no reason for confrontation when we can achieve our goal in a much simpler way." Itachi replied: "And in addition, you will have many more opportunities to practice your ninjutsu in this world."

Deidara and Sasori continued walking through the lush trees, not even being sure in which direction they were heading. The forest seemed to have no end when the sun rose in the sky above them. Deidara looked up, frustrated by the time they had spent walking.

Deidara looked at his partner, "Come on Sasori, let's climb one of my birds so that we can both fly over this stupid forest."

"No..." Sasori responded shamelessly, "When we get to this strange world, we should keep a lower profile. Flying in a giant clay owl will attract attention."

Deidara mocked Sasori's idea, "Who cares if others see? We can take care of anyone who tries to attack us."

"I would prefer that we don't take care of anything for the moment," Sasori said.

Deidara sighs "Your idea is costing us time that we don't have. We have to meet in the countryside tonight. Hmm."

"If we don't find anything useful, then we go back and tell them that-" Sasori stopped when he noticed that something was coming down between the trees, "Someone is coming"

Both akatsuki stopped when a blue pony with wings landed in front of them. They looked with curiosity at the strange multicolored mane that the creature wore, observing the mixture of red and purple tones.

Rainbow Dash also looked at the two ponies in front of her; she watched as they both wore a kind of matching outfits of red clouds and black background design. They were definitely ponies that I had never seen before in Ponyville. After a moment of uncomfortable looks, he decided to break the silence, "Uh, hello?"

Both were taken off guard when they saw that he could speak, but they thought that being horses also meant that they could communicate.

Sasori looked at Deidara after several seconds, "Surely it's from the local population that Zetsu spoke of. He's a flying guy like you."

Rainbow noticed that she had been completely ignored, but she thought it was because they were discussing what to say, "So, you two are new here, aren't you? What are you doing in the Everfree forest?"

"Yes. Maybe you know about some source of power in this world." Deidara responded to her partner. Turning to the figure in front of him, he took several steps forward in his direction, "Hey horse, do you know anything powerful around here?"

Rainbow was caught off guard, partly because of the strange question and partly because of what they called her. Looking at the stranger and floated in the air, "Who do you call a horse, silly pony? Do you know who I am?"

Sasori looked at her without understanding, "No, should we?"

"My name is Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" I exclaim with pride "And you should be kinder to the ponies you've just met."

A big smile spread over Deidara's face "'Rainbow'? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Rainbow in English? Is it a nickname or are you really called that? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. It looks like a name taken from a children's animated series! You should get a better name than that. That name makes you look like a three-year-old girl!... or three-year-old boy, I don't know..." His face changed from mockery to confusion when he began to question the sexuality of the multicolored horse a little.

Rainbow couldn't believe how rude this Pegasus was, his cheeks dyed a little red from the shame "T-you have a certain attitude when saying that! What's your name!? Huh!? A colt with a mare's haircut must also have a stupid name!"

Deidara's eyes widened after hearing that, 'yegua?' He thought to himself: 'Do you say I have a horse haircut?' Then he threw an angry look at Pegasus in front of him, "Do you dare to say that I have a girl's haircut? You should be more careful with what you tell me! And for your information, I am the great and only Deidara artist!"

Rainbow's face suddenly wrinkled into an uncomfortable smile as he tried to suppress the laughter that suddenly arose, "your name is ... De-" then fell on his back in laughter, "Bwahaha! What kind of name is that!? You should have a cooler name before you try to make fun of someone else, haha! "

Sasori let out a little laugh at how angry Deidara was with the pony in front of them, "Well, Deidara, it seems that you have met your soulmate."

Deidara suddenly let out a little laugh, "Well, maybe I should teach him a lesson about art." Then he stood on his hind legs and put the helmets in the bags on the sides, "Don't worry, I'll do it quickly."

Sasori frowned, knowing well what was going to happen, "Don't take too long. I don't like that they make me wait." Then he turned around and walked away from his partner, wanting to make sure that he had a certain distance between him and the event that was coming.

Rainbow got up again, confused by what the blond pony was doing. She saw him moving his helmets in the bags, knowing that he was planning something, "Hey, what are you doing? What's in it-"

His heart froze when he saw him raise his helmets and glimpse the mouths he had there. They were chewing something, when suddenly each one opened and two clay birds came out.

Rainbow felt as if he was going to vomit at the strange sight "what- what are those things!?"

Deidara smiled at the frightened blue pony in front of him, "This is my art. Do you want to be part of it?"

"Q-what?"

"You're going to be part of this..." he said as the birds shot out of their helmets directly towards Rainbow Dash, "Because true art ..." he raised his right helmet towards his face while the birds ran towards the petrified pony. , "It's an explosion!"

KATSU!

Chapter 5

Over the Everfree forest, a single yellow Pegasus flew in the direction of Ponyville. His two-tone orange mane and tail fluttered with the wind as he slid easily through the air. Covering his brown eyes were his blue Wonderbolts glasses.

Spitfire had been able to have his morning free to be able to make a surprise visit to a certain blue mare who was waiting for revenge; Since Rainbow Dash qualified to train with the Wonderbolts, her hard but joking attitude immediately clicked on Spitfire, and after a few weeks they became good friends.

However, despite being close friends, Rainbow had the ability to make jokes on Spitfire weekly. Although most of the time it was something simple like a fake snake in his room or a drop of spicy sauce in his drink, Rainbow's last joke was a home run; he had changed Spitfires shampoo for a red hair dye. After realizing what had happened, the captain of Wonderbolt had to scrub his mane for three hours to remove the color.

Spitfire looked at the bag he had hanging over his shoulder, which caused a big smile to spread over his face, "Hehe, this will definitely make her regret putting that dye in my shower."

He continued to fly, but a sudden explosion of the trees below caught his attention. He suddenly stopped, trying to find out what had just happened, "What was that?" As he looked around, he saw a small stream of smoke rising from the trees on the right.

Spitfire looked at the rising fumes, "What's going on down there?" Wanting to know more, he flew in the direction of the smoke.

Deidara smiled at the explosion in front of him where the pony once was. He chuckled at his success, "I told you to take care of what you say, horse. You could probably have lived if-"

Deidara stopped in the middle of the sentence when he saw a form through the smoke. Squinting, he saw a blue shape moving away from him. He grimaced when he saw that he hadn't eliminated his target, "I guess I detonated them too soon. She had time to escape before he caught her. Hmm"

Rainbow flew whipped through the trees as she walked away from the yellow pony in pure panic. His heart beat in his chest as his wings beat quickly. She looked over her shoulder, looking at her aggressor, "What the hell were those things?"

Deidara laughed when she saw the frightened pegasus trying to run away, "Flying won't do you any good. I'll catch you!" He raised his helmets and spat out several more birds that flew behind his frightened target.

Rainbow saw that the birds were quickly approaching her, which made her eyes enlarge, "Oh no, not again!" She crouched down and dodged as each bird approached her. Turning around, I flew among the trees and more branches of the Everfree forest, attracting several of those birds to collide with the trees, each of them causing small explosions, until there are none left. Then, out of nowhere, another bird fell from above, cutting the path on which it was flying.

Reacting quickly, Rainbow broke a small branch in front of her and threw it through the bird in front of her. Fortunately, he hit him perfectly, making him detonate. Seeing that she was clear, she felt a small wave of comfort on her still trembling body, "it's okay, I'm fine, I just need to go back to-" Her heart stopped when she heard the beating of wings behind her. He turned around, he saw Deidara flying with his wings behind her, "Oh, Celestia.""Don't get your hopes up that flying away will save you, Rainbow!" Deidara shouted as he chased her, "My art has no limits!" He put his helmets together, allowing the clay to mix. He separated them and had his new and improved birds ready, which were thinner and much faster than the previous ones. The birds took off forward, running among the trees at an unreal speed.

Rainbow saw the two birds coming and tried to go around the trees to make them collide as before. However, while doing so, the birds matched their spinning skills in every way and dodged them in the same way as she did. Rainbow took the branches in front of her and threw them behind her to try to make the approaching bombs collide, but they simply dodged the falling obstacles and her speed was not affected.

Rainbow flew up, flying through the leaves of the trees above her. As soon as she cleared the trees, she was shot through the air as fast as she could to take distance between her and her pursuers. Looking back, she felt terror in her heart when she saw the birds now outdoors, almost on top of her; she had nowhere to go, ''No, it can't end like this!''

Deidara smiled as his bombs flew closer and closer to Rainbow, 'We are almost ...' he thought when he saw the distance between the pegasus and the birds. He hit with the helmets while the

Bombs approached the fluttering tail, "KATSU!"

BOOM!

"Hehe, now that's what I call an explosion-" Deidara stopped when he saw something fly out of the smoke. He frowned again, seeing that his goal was still alive, "You're quite stubborn. Hmm." However, once he saw his condition, he let out a little laugh.

The lower half of his Rainbow body was stained with gray. Some of his hair had been scorched, leaving his own traces of smoke. They had burned several centimeters of his tail. His left wing had also burned and he had difficulty flying in a straight line. He tried to shake it painfully while he continued to flee.

Deidara laughed at his fight, "You can try to move on, but it's no use ..." he put his special mouths together and mixed the last of that batch of clay, making a single bird, "... you should accept your destiny! "He released his little bomb in the air.

Rainbow looked terrified at the bird that was flying directly towards her. He tried to move faster, but the pain in his wing restricted his movement. Tears of fear began to form in his eyes, knowing that there was no way to escape. He shouted when the bird approached, "SOMEONE, HELP ME! PLEASE"

Out of nowhere, a small brown bag collided with the bomb, causing it to detonate. Rainbow was stunned, "What... what was that?" He looked around to see where he came from.

"Where the hell did that come from?" Deidara looked in the direction where the bag came from, but was hit on the side by a yellow and orange spot.

Rainbow looked in shock that someone had come to help her, but when she recognized who she was, fear once again took over her heart, "Spitfire, stay away from him!"

Spitfire fell through the air, holding tightly to the blond Pegasus. Her eyes were full of hatred, "Leave her alone, monster!" He hit Deidara's face again and again, causing the blood to begin to come out.

Deidara looked through the blows received at the Pegasus who grabbed him, "Get off of it!" He put his hind legs under Spitfire's stomach, he kicked hard.

Spitfire snarled when he felt the blow to his stomach, losing the control he had over him. Moving away from him, he flew directly to Rainbow, "Let's go!" Grabbing her friend, she pushed Rainbow through the air towards Ponyville.

Deidara regained her composure after a moment and looked at the Pegasus who was withdrawing. "Do you think you can escape?" He put his helmets on his sides to fill his mouth again, "You don't have an opportunity-" he didn't feel anything. Looking down, he saw that his bags weren't there. Looking for them, he saw them falling through the trees. He looked again at the two mares flying away, which caused his anger to increase. "She threw my clay while she was hitting me. Hmm."

Seeing how far the two Pegasus were, he decided to abandon their pursuit. I walk under the trees to where their bags were. He reached them, but suddenly several blue chakra lines shot out on one side and pushed the bags away. Deidara was surprised at first, but then he saw Sasori on the side, leaning on a tree, with chakra lines coming out of the tip of his horn.

"Then, you let them escape..." Sasori said, casting an angry look at Deidara, "Now the others will know that we are here." He shook his chakra, throwing the bags at his partner.

Deidara caught the bags, mocking the puppeteer, "I didn't think that another would come out of nowhere ..." he paused to put the bags back on his sides, "... in addition, if I had already had my biggest bird outside, I wouldn't have to concentrate on flying and making my bombs."

"Don't blame the wings; you let yourself be caught off guard. Now, we can't go on anymore, we have to go back."

"Hmm? Why?" I ask Deidara

"Now that those two have escaped, they are going to alert the rest of their colleagues. We don't know how many there are or how powerful the creatures of this world could be."

Deidara laughed at his partner's caution, "Why are you worried? Don't you have a trick that you said that allowed you to "conquer a nation?"

Sasori smiled slightly when he thought about that technique, "Yes, but I prefer to keep that. Also, we have to meet tonight. We should start coming back."

Deidara frowned for having to stop, but agreed not to make the others wait, "Well, we'll be back. Hmm."

They both turned around and began to return through the thick Everfree Forest.

On the way to Canterlot, a small platoon of soldiers containing six pegasus, four unicorns and three ground ponies marched. Most wore the standard royal golden armor, except for the only white unicorn in front, which wore purple.

Shining Armor trotted, always looking back and forth to be attentive to anything. He was somewhat confused by the order that the princess had given him, since she gave him almost no specific fact to look for. She, however, told him to be careful with the power they could face.

Hearing that 'this' was possibly dangerous put Shining to the limit. Knowing that they had to look in several areas, I only had a quick solution. He turned to his second in command, "Swift, come here."

From the back of the group, a silver pegasus with a tornado like cutie mark approached his captain, "Yes, captain?"

"I want you to take several guards to Ponyville. Look for anything suspicious around you.

Swift seemed perplexed by the order, "Sir, do you want to divide the group?"

"Yes. We have a lot of area to cover, and Ponyville is the nearest city. I want you to make sure that the city is fine."

"Well, if you think it's the best way, then it's fine. Who should I bring?"

"Hmm..." Shining reflected on who would be the most suitable to go. Looking in the center, he saw two that caught his attention, "Blitz, Blaze, come to the front."

"Yes, sir," replied Blaze, a bright yellow unicorn with a tanned tail. On his flank he had a patch of fire like cutie mark. Following his side was his good friend Blitz, a green Pegasus with a tail of multiple shades of blue. His flank wore a helmet, which many ponies were still trying to find out what that meant. They approached and stood firm for Shining.

"Okay, and..." Shining scanned the crowd once again, "Storm Chaser".

From the back, a brown pegasus with a black tail and a ray of cutie mark approached the trot and joined the group, "Yes?"

"I want the three of you to join Swift on an exploration mission to Ponyville."

"Ponyville?" Blaze questioned.

"Yes. Go there and make sure the city is safe. Also look for something out of the ordinary.

The three nodded in unison and then turned to their new commanding officer. Swift looked at Shining Armor and let out a sigh, "Okay. They are your orders." The four ponies left the group and went another way to the small town of Ponyville.

A tanned earth pony approached the side of Shining Armor, "Sir, do you think it's smart to send them with only four in that group? Maybe we should send some others."

"It's okay, Barren. Maybe we won't even find anything here." Shining said with an enthusiastic smile.

"Well, as a request, would you allow me to join them? One more would never hurt any pony."

"Oh, it's okay, go."

"Thank you Captain." and with that, Barren set out on the road behind the group that had left.

Shining then turned to the seven ponies that were behind him, "Very well, let's continue."

The Shinings battalion continued for another twenty minutes, with nothing that seemed out of the ordinary.

''Rian'' The captain shouted, telling his next command to approach.

A younger Pegasus with a light blue coat approached, his golden tail swayed back and forth, covering his rain cloud cutie mark as he passed. "Yes, captain?" He asked.

Fly forward and explore the path. See if there is anything even in the direction the princess asked us to go.

"I'm on it." Rain responded, quickly opening his wings and taking off into the sky.

"Captain?"

Shining looked around to see Neon, a bright orange unicorn standing next to him. He turned around to look at him directly, "Yes, soldier?"

"Do you even know what we're looking for? What did the princess tell you that we saw?"

Shining frowned. "Well, not really. He said it has something to do with that strange light that appeared last night. He told me to look for anything suspicious."

"But ... I didn't know what to look for?"

"Well, no."

The pegasus suddenly fell to the ground in front of the group. Shining was surprised that he had already returned, "Rain, what happened? You were only out for a few seconds."

"Sir, I saw two strange ponies about three miles away." Rain answered.

Shining was now curious, "What do you mean by strange?"

"Well, I didn't want to get too close since I was alone, but I could see that they both wore a black cape, and that they were both land ponies."

"Are they armed?"

"One of them, I couldn't see clearly, but he had a kind of big scythe."

Shining nodded his head, then signaled all his guards to move forward.

Chapter 6

Constantly walking behind the car, Itachi and Kisame had barely spoken as they followed the family of ponies taking them to the small town of Poniville.

Akatsuki's couple chose not to try to interact with their guides as much as possible, but their plan was constantly interrupted by the young colt next to them bombarding them with questions.

"Then why do you have those things on your face?" Applebloom asked the great blue stallion curiously.

Kisame looked at the annoying colt, her patience to the limit with her constant annoyance, "Why don't you go back to your sister and leave me alone?"

"Oh, come on, it's always good to talk to some pony." she replied with a big smile.

Realizing that he would not stop, Kisame finally surrendered and decided to answer his questions: "These are my gills."

Applebloom's eyes widened after hearing that, "Wow! I've never met a pony with that. Can you immerse yourself in water and breathe?"

"Yes," Kizame replied.

"How long can you do that?"

"As long as I want." Kisame was getting irritated now.

"How did you get them?"

"Applebloom, why don't you let them walk in peace?" Applejack called from later. The young colt gave her sister a sad look and left the two ponies calm.

"Ugh, finally." Kisame thanked the rest he got from the young chatter. Looking forward, he snarled when he saw how slow the car in front of him was going. "Why don't we leave now? They said that the city is on this road, and we can move much faster on our own. We don't have to follow them all the time."

Itachi looked forward, without even taking the time to look at his partner, "If we simply asked where the town is and headed towards him, they would be suspicious."

Kisame gave him a questioning look, "Would you suspect that? I have gills on my face, not to mention my Samehada. What about our dark suits? I think they already suspect you and me."

"It doesn't matter. And even so, we're not going to go to this town to stay a long time.

''He'd better have something useful for us,'' Kizame said.

Itachi turned his attention to the orange mare walking next to the cart, "Maybe I can get some information now." He accelerated the pace and quickly caught up with Applejack.

The orange mare turned and saw Itachi approaching, giving a disturbing feeling throughout his body, 'What does he want?' She thought to herself. Not wanting to be rude, she smiled when she approached, "How are you?"

"I'm fine. I thank you for taking us to the village. I hope we're not causing problems for you." Itachi kept his eyes fixed on the farmer'ss while he spoke.

Applejack was caught off guard, without waiting for the polite and friendly attitude of the pony, "Oh, it's not a bother. So, eh... Where are you two from?"

Itachi looked forward again, "We are mercenaries who are traveling for work."

"Eh... What's up?" Applejack asked, without understanding the meaning of that word.

"Soldiers for rent. We found ponies who need help in case of problems." Technically, Itachi was not lying, since Akatsuki originally worked in that style of work."H, I see. Well, it's good to know that you try to help others."

Itachi didn't answer him; he just looked straight ahead. Feeling the uncomfortable silence fill the air, he nervously turned to Big Mac, who also looked curiously at the gray land pony.

After a minute, Itachi spoke again, "Is there a beast around here that needs to be taken care of?"

Applejack turned his head, raising an eyebrow to the hooded traveler, "Beast? Why do you ask?"

"We specialize in dealing with power creatures that ... cause problems for others." Knowing that simply demanding where a huge form of power was would not work without an interrogation, he decided to speak informally to gather the answers he wanted.

"Well, if you both want to catch a large animal, there is a large Hydra in the Everfree Forest near our city. But I don't think he has any power, though."

Itachi thought what to ask next, trying to stay as discreet as possible, "I mean... creatures that can't be stopped by normal weapons or tactics; I'm talking about beasts with unnatural and dangerously destructive powers."

Applejack bowed his head to think about anything that came to his mind, but only one thing came to his mind, "There was one; he called himself Discord."

Itachi turned his gaze to Applejack, now listening attentively, "Very well, how problematic is this... Discord?"

"Well... He is the spirit of chaos; He used his powers to change and deform the world around him, he almost seemed to have no limit in his powers. It caused a lot of problems for all the ponies in Equestria." She shuddered with a shiver as she remembered the evils she caused her and her other friends. "Without a doubt, the most powerful and dangerous being I've seen in my entire life..."

Itachi looked forward after hearing that, 'Very well ...' he thought to himself, 'Something like that could be useful to us.' Applejack turned like this, "Where can this spirit be found?"

Applejack was taken out of his thoughts by the question. I look at Itachi for a few seconds. He let out a little laugh, "Well, bucket of sugar, I don't think anyone can face Discord. It's pretty hard. In addition, it has been turned into stone by-"

"There it is!" Applebloom shouted, pointing his helmet in the opposite direction, "Guys, welcome to Ponyville!" I announce the little colt, welcoming its two passengers.

Looking ahead, Itachi saw the small village on the top of the hill where they were, It had small houses and fixed paths next to some ponies walking through the place, the truth, it was a fairly small town with possibly no more than 50 inhabitants minimum. It was not as big a village as they expected, but it would serve as a place to discover more of the well-known Discord.

Kisame bowed his head to the front of the car looking at the small town in front. "Poniville, right?... Tks, What a convenient name considering that all the residents are ponies, Hehehe" I express his opinion with a mocking smile.

"Hey!" Grumpy Applebloom a little offended by Kisame's mockery of his home.

On the other hand, Itachi changed his gaze back to Applejack, nodded in gratitude and trotted back to his partner.

Despite seeing that he was grateful, Applejack could not see any form of emotion in the dark pony. His face looked stiff, as if he had never smiled in his entire life. His eyes were the part that most caught his attention; it was not the color, which was a simple brown, but the look they emitted was cold and emotionless, almost painful. So, nothing out of the ordinary that you've seen since last night?" Swift asked.

Mayor Mare simply shook her head, "I'm sorry sir, but I haven't seen or heard of any pony that has noticed anything different."

Swift let out a slight grunt of frustration, "Very well, take care of yourself." Turning around the Ponyville aisle, he trotted back to the main street through Ponyville. I had been asking the same question to more than a dozen ponies at all times, and none of them had seen anything worth investigating in a near moment.

Blitz and Blaze weren't having better luck. Every pony that was asked had not seen a change in anything since the night before. Some didn't even notice the light that had appeared. The two had covered the entire eastern part of the city and had not encountered anything that looked like any kind of threat, which gave them doubts about why the royal guards would be sent out of Canterlot in the first place.

"This is a complete waste of time. We should go back." Blitz grumbled.

Blaze tried to contain his frustration with the mission, "Just wait. We will explore a little more"

"Oh, come on, look for what? See if the city dog can go crazy?" Blitz was shot. He always hated being put in a meaningless chase, like when the princess ordered him to watch outside the castle to be attentive to any pony that tried to mess with the gardens of Canterlot, despite the fact that there had never been an incident in the last ninety years.

Choosing to make their search a little more pleasant, the two guards decided to travel to Sugar Cube Corner and buy some sweets to enjoy on their walk. As they entered, they looked around looking for the worker, "Excuse me?"

"HELLO BLITZ AND BLAZE!"

"Dah!" They both shouted surprised by the bubbly pink-skinned pony in front of them. "Don't do that to a guard, civilian, you..." Blaze paused when he recognized her, "Hey, are you Pinkie Pie of the elements of harmony?, I recognize you from the royal wedding."

"Yes, I am! It's great that you remember me, Blaze," she said enthusiastically.

His face contracted with confusion after hearing that, "Wait a minute, how do you know my name?"

"Or mine!?" He added Blitz.

"Oh, I know the names of all the ponies! At the wedding I asked Shining and the princess who the other guards were, and I never forget a name." Pinkie couldn't resist her urge to jump for almost every word she said.

Blitz turned to Blaze with a blank look on his face, "Should we conceive this as unusual?"

Upon leaving the spa, Rarity and Fluttershy's coats shone in the sunlight. Both felt so relieved after the extra-long treatment they had received that day. "Oh, what a wonderful feeling I have every time I leave this place!" Rarity exclaimed as he walked with a small jump in his trot.

"Oh, yes, it felt good." Fluttershy responded calmly with a smile. Although he didn't get the pleasure that Rarity got from his time, he really loved him too.

"Hey girls!"

Both turned to the direction of the voice and saw a small purple dragon walking towards them. Rarity gave him a big smile when he saw his friend, "Hello Spike, how are you today?"He smiled at the white unicorn, "I'm fine, although I'm a little bored. Since Twilight is in Canterlot I've been alone in the library."

"What are you doing right now?" Fluttershy asked.

"I was actually just walking to waste my time." He responded obediently: "Cleaning a library constantly affects you after a while."

"Ugh, Twilight is always working to the bone, Spike. You deserve a break whenever you want." Rarity exclaimed. She always knew that Spike worked so hard despite being a baby dragon, but she never heard him complain too much about it. It was really a perfect assistant for any pony.

His thread of thoughts was interrupted by the sound of a car rolling down the road. The three of them turned to see their good friend Applejack and her family walking down the street. Wanting to greet her, everyone walked in that direction to meet them.

Applejack smiled when he saw some of his friends, "Hello everyone! How have you been in Ponyville while we weren't there?"

"Oh, just Ponyville being Ponyville, Applejack, nothing special." Rarity said.

"So, how was the trip to Hoovesdale?" Spike asked.

"It was good, Spike. We had to sell all the apples we took there and-" Applejack stopped to see Fluttershy shaking a little, "What's up, sugar cube?"

"Who-who are they?" The frightened Pegasus asked. The others also looked with curiosity at the two guests who were behind the cart.

Applejack had momentarily forgotten about the ponies he had met along the way. When he looked back at them, he noticed how they were moving towards them. He quickly turned to his friends, "I'm not very sure exactly; they said they are paid soldiers or something like that."

"Soldiers?" Spike looked curiously at the approaching ponies, "Well, they don't look like soldiers."

Itachi and Kisame approached the group of mares and dragons who were chatting. They saw how they were getting strange looks from all of them. Deciding to have a little fun, Kisame approached the little yellow Pegasus and leaned towards her face, "Boo!"

"Kyaaa!" Fluttershy jumped off the ground and hid behind Rarity.

Rarity looked at the big pony, "That was very rude of you, Lord! Just because ..." she surprised herself looking at her strange appearance, "you're different doesn't give you the right to do that."

Kizame only smiled at the little pony below him, "Heh, whatever."

"Hey, you two!"

All the ponies turned to see two guards approaching them. Itachi felt a slight frustration accumulate inside him if he, 'Great, we are already being arrested'.

Barren and Storm Chaser stopped about six meters from the two strange ponies behind the group. The outfits they wore and the big gun they wore was something that caught the attention of both of them. Barren leaned over and whispered to Storm: "Do you think these could be the ponies we were supposed to look for?"

"I'm not sure. Let's find out." Storm turned to the strange ponies, "Excuse me, we have to ask you some questions."

"I already told you, he just attacked me for no reason." Rainbow dash said Spitfire sighed in frustration, then turned to look at his friend he was helping to fly, "Look, I'm not saying you're lying, I'm just saying that I know you have a special ability to easily anger ponies."

Rainbow Dash looked the other way a little embarrassed, "... B-well, I... I told him that I had a mare haircut... But he started!"

Spitfire rolled his eyes. I couldn't capture the image of those strange mouths in the cases of that pegasus that had almost killed Rainbow. Never in his entire life had he heard of something like that in any pony before. Trying to forget it, he looked at Rainbow's wing, "How do you feel?"

"I'm much better now. Hey, Spit..." he turned slowly to look into his friend's eyes, "Thank you, I owe you one."

Spitifre threw a big smile, "There's no problem Dash." Both stopped flying and landed on a street when they arrived in Ponyville. Spitfire immediately recognized someone who didn't expect, "Swift?"

The guard turned around when he heard his name. To his surprise, it was the captain of the Wonderbolts, "Spitfire? What are you doing here?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing."

"We are here to check the security of the city. The princess needs us to look for anything out of the ordinary."

Upon hearing that, Rainbow let out a sarcastic laugh, "Out of the ordinary? How about a pegasus that tried to blow me to pieces this morning?" She told him.

"You're fine now, Rainbow." Spitfire told her friend cyan to calm her down. He looked again at Swift, who had taken a step back from the outburst, "She was attacked this morning by a strange Pegasus with mouths on the floor of her helmets."

"I had what?" Swift couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Yes, and from them he shot clay birds that were exploding. It almost caught me." Rainbow said as he showed the guard the different burns on his fur and wing.

"What did it look like?"

"It was an orange color with a blonde mane. And the-"

Spitfire saw Rainbow's tinged face as he looked forward down the street. "Dash, what's going on?" Rainbow slowly lifted his helmet, pointing to what he was looking at. Spit turned and saw several hundred meters down the street, which made her friend scared.

"There! He was wearing that outfit!" He said loud and loud Rainbow dash.

Swift turned around and saw two ponies in black robes. He saw that Barren and Storm Chaser were already interrogating them, 'Those have to be the ponies we've been looking for. I wonder how many there are besides these two,' he said to himself. Waving his wings, he flew in that direction and landed right next to the other guards.

Itachi noticed the new figure in front of him. He was sure that his simple intelligence mission was going to be more difficult than planned. "Is there a problem?"

''Gentlemen, I'm going to need you two to accompany us to Canterlot,'' Swift said ly.

On the one hand, Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike and the Apple family were confused.

''What's going on?'' Spike asked.

"I have no idea." Applejack intervened.

Itachi looked at the guards in front of him, "Why are they arresting us?"

"That's exactly what that pony was using!" I scream the Pegaso cyan

All the ponies on the street turned to see Rainbow Dash looking at the two strangers

"That pegasus with those explosive birds is with them!" He screamed again

Barren sat confused by the accusation, "What are you talking about?"

Kisame began to laugh out loud at this point, "So, it seems that Deidara already had a little fun today."

Swift took a look at the strange-looking pony, "So you're connected to the stranger they told me about. All right, you two will come with us. We will let the princesses decide what to do with you.

Kisame smiled at the order he had just been given, "Are you going to make us go with you?"

"If you don't comply with the order, we will use force." The three guards simultaneously put their helmets on the swords on their sides.

Itachi closed his eyes, "I wouldn't do that if it were you." When he opened again, the once normal brown color had turned blood red, with its standard pattern of three tomee surrounding the pupil.

The guards gasped when they saw the Sharingan.

Itachi's words resounded in the quiet street, "You must never challenge the power of a Shinobi."

Chapter 7

Swift felt her heart racing when she saw the red eyes of the dark pony look at him directly. The strange color and design were something he had never seen in his entire life. He could feel his body trembling slightly at the strange vision, "What are you?"

Kisame simply continued smiling at the frightened Ponies around them, "I guess you've never seen a Sharingan."

Itachi's face didn't move a single muscle as he looked between the three guards in front of him. He took a few steps forward before stopping to look at the frightened faces of Applejack and his friends, "Are you afraid of my true eyes?"

Applejack simply backed off, hugging Applebloom. Rarity put a helmet on his forehead before falling backwards and fainting dramatically. Fluttershy continued to tremble behind everyone else. Spike's eyes were so open that they seemed to distort the shape of his face. The other Apple members simply looked at what they saw with disbelief.

Applejack's eyes then changed from fear to determination, "Look, I don't know what they want, but don't even think about hurting my family."

Itachi looked back and forth between the young farmer and her trembling sister, "You're afraid she could hurt your sister and you'll sacrifice anything to protect her, right?"

Applejack was surprised by the question: "... Yes, I would."

Itachi sat quietly for a moment, "You show courage, but you don't worry us in the first place."

Through the now crowded street, Blitz and Blaze made their way to the center behind their leader. Before they asked what was happening, his eyes fixed on the two ponies with the layers. blitz He stared at the two, analyzing every detail he saw, but stopped in the strange eyes of the one, "What's wrong with his eyes?"

Swift quickly looked at her allies before turning, "I ... don't know." I had no idea what kind of pony had eyes that changed in some way unless they were powerful unicorns or the princesses themselves through immense magical powers. However, he would not allow this strange anomaly to prevent him from doing his duty. Shaking his head, he looked at the two strangers, "Who are you? What is your purpose here?"

Itachi closed his eyes, slowly turning his head towards the guards, "I will not waste my time trying to explain to them who we are or where we come from, but I will ask them to tell us the location of something we want"

"And what would that be?"

Itachi's eyes opened, his Sharingan looking at the Pegasus, "Where is the creature they call Discord located?"

The gasps escaped from the ponies on the street who heard the name of the aforementioned spirit. Many residents of the city still remember the chaos it brought to their community the last time it was released in the world.

Rainbow Dash couldn't keep his mouth shut because of the impact of the pony's strange look, and have to remember all the things he experienced in the clutches of the spirit of chaos. "What do you want from him?"

Barren stepped forward, "Why do you want to know where it is?"

"If they tell us their location, I will leave this town alone." Itachi answered.

"What if we refuse?"

Itachi was silent for a moment before speaking again, "It seems that they have already made a decision."

Kisame looked at his partner "Well, Itachi, it seems that our intelligence mission will have to be interrupted. Can I at least have some fun here before we get back? "Itachi looked at the five guards, his eyes searched the weapons of the soldiers; swords were placed on the sides of each guard. His Sharingan then looked at the horn of the only yellow guard, feeling the flow of energy flowing inside him. 'These must be the horses that Zetsu said can perform their own forms of jutsu,' he thought to himself.

Seeing that they shouldn't be a problem, Itachi took a step back, leaving Kisame with the others. The big blue stallion laughed at the five ponies in front of him, "Very good now! Who wants to go first?"

Spitfire, upon receiving the alert from the blue pony that he was going to attack them, decided to choose a little.

Barren stood firm, approached the blue pony, stood in front of him and looked at him with a threatening look. ''This is the last warning, give up now... if you don't do it the good way... then it will be the bad way...'' he said, looking into his eyes with severity.

''...''

Kisame slowly took the yellow handle of his sword with his helmet and shot down quickly, causing the large weapon to hit the floor of the street, destroying the ground and throwing several small stones to all sides.

Barren stood firm and did not look away from Kisame, but inside he was pleasantly surprised and somewhat terrified of how heavy and strong that weapon was.

''... I think the hard way, better,' Kisame replied with a big smile looking at the royal guard.

Swift, who was in front of Spitfire, took a step back, telling the others to do the same; he didn't want to get into a fight with these strange ponies without knowing who they were. This pony was more than just a normal pony. Looking around, he saw that his other guards were retreating, except for one.

Blitz knew that attacking head-on in a fight without knowing his opponent's strength was always the worst thing he could do in combat; on the other hand, he was never the one who followed what was right. Extending his mouth down, he grabbed the handle of his sword with his teeth and pulled it out of the sheath. Looking up, he unfolded his wings and took off towards his greatest enemy.

"Blitz, no!" Blaze yelled, but it was too late. His friend was already flying towards strangers.

Kisame smiled, "You have horse guts..." He swung his sword forward, the huge sword turned directly towards the smaller Pegasus. Blitz tried to block the incoming blow, but the moment the sword connected with his, his eyes widened when he felt that he was pushing him to the right, throwing him to the side of a nearby house. ''It's a pity that I have to rip them off...''

Storm gasped in shock at what he saw; the big pony didn't even seem to try to swing his sword so hard, and yet Blitz was thrown like a rag doll. He looked around to see many ponies in the streets fleeing in the panic of not wanting to be caught in the fight.

Blaze growled in anger when he saw his friend lying aside. He then ran forward, carrying his horn. After a moment, a bright ray of yellow energy shot out of the tip, running forward through the air. Kisame jumped to the side to dodge the attack, but was interrupted when Blaze maneuvered to cut him.

Using his magic, he wrapped his sword with it, lifting it from its sheath in the air. Kisame looked at the feat with curiosity, wondering if this power of them worked as a chakra in their world. Thinking about this made him laugh through the sword he had grabbed.

Barren charged forward next to Blaze, both looking at their opponent. From the side of the street, Blitz was shaken by the previous impact before jumping from the rubble and joining Blaze. He stretched his leg to loosen the stiffness, "I must say that I didn't expect it to be so strong. I felt as if I had been hit by a manticore."Barren threw an angry look at Pegasus, "You're going to end up dead if you make another stupid charge like that! We have to work together."

Blitz simply rolled his eyes on the pony, but accepted the advice, "Understood."

Swift turned to Spitfire, who walked away a little so that the soldiers could act. "Spitfire, go to Canterlot right now."

Spitfire, turned his gaze to the guard, "What? Why?"

"You must warn the princess that we have found the strange ponies she was asking for. Tell him that he needs to prepare the guards for anything. And also tell him to put security around the statue of Discord."

Nodding his head, he turned around and took off towards the sky back to the big city, leaving the city of Ponyville. Rainbow felt that Spitfire shouldn't go alone, not to mention that she didn't want to deal with another abnormal pony. So he decided to do the same and flew after the Wonderbolt captain.

Suddenly, Barren, Blitz and Blaze charged Kisame again. Barren and Blitz were the first to attack, both moving their swords in quick succession, but to their surprise, the great stallion was as fast as they were; he easily moved his giant sword as if it were nothing, blocking each of his blows. Blaze then entered, his sword wrapped in magic swayed faster than the others.

Kisame now had to fight to keep the three away; although he was fast and the size of his sword provided him with good protection, a three-on-one fight was still difficult.

Blitz attacked with his sword, hit the side of Kisame's giant weapon. Then one more strange thing happened; the magic that held the sword disappeared around him, causing the blade to fall to the ground.

He was stunned by what had just happened, "What the hell ... where was the aura of my magic?" The other two also jumped backwards, unsure of what was happening.

Kisame suddenly started laughing out loud again. He could feel that the energy around the horse's sword had been absorbed by his Samehada. That's when I confirmed what I suspected; the energy used by these creatures was equivalent to the chakra of their world. Then he noticed that the other two back guards were behind the first three now. Smiling, he put his sword on his back, then stood on his hind legs and put his front helmets together.

All the guards looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Before they could say anything, Kisame hit his right helmet against the ground and, out of nowhere, the water began to spread from where he touched, "Water style: shark bomb!"

Storm's eyes widened when a huge amount of water burst out of nowhere under Kisame's feet, and when that water took the form of a shark,

"What is this magic?

"This can't be magic, they're not unicorns!" Swift yelled.

The five guards jumped out of the way before the great water shark hit them. Making the shark land on the ground, everyone stared in amazement at what they were fighting; this pony had somehow used magic without having a horn of its own.

Swift began to think inside her head about what she had heard before, 'Rainbow said that she was attacked by a Pegasus that used explosive clay. Now we are fighting a pony that can create and shoot water out of nowhere. I see why the princess wanted us to look for these ponies. His gaze then turned to the dark pony with red eyes, "I can't even imagine what powers the other may have."Kisame smiled at the surprised guards, "You are fast enough to be so weak."

Blitz looked at the pony throwing water, "I'll show you who's weak!" Grabbing his sword again, he flew forward.

Kisame smiled and squeezed his sword with both helmets. Swinging laterally, the sword went directly to Blitz's head, which forced him to bend down, causing his front helmets to touch the ground. Swinging upwards, his sword managed to touch the right cheek of Kisame's face.

Kisame grimaced at the pain, then tried to lower his sword. Blitz dropped his sword and ran towards his opponent's stomach, releasing his grip on the Samehada. Before Kisame could react again, Blitz jumped up, causing the two of their heads to collide.

Kisame's eyes were enlarged by the headbutt. He stumbled back several steps, feeling the blood dripping from the fresh wound on the right side of his head. He snarled when he saw Pegasus standing there, apparently undisturbed by the blow, "Why aren't you bleeding?"

Blitz turned his neck, emitting a refreshing pop. Then he threw a smile at the blue pony, "I have a very thick skull for you to know." He turned to take a quick look at the helmet cutie mark he owned.

Kisame snarled at the arrogant pony, "You'll pay for that." Leaning down, wrapped his front helmets around his sword and lifted it.

Blaze smiled when he saw his friend successfully hurt the enemy, "See? We can beat it! "

After seeing Kisame let his guard down, Itachi decided that he had stopped long enough. Walking forward, he made all the other guards suddenly tense, seeing that they would also have to fight against the other member.

Deciding to take action, Swift looked at the others, "Very well now; Blitz, Blaze and Barren, face the big one. Storm and I will take care of the other one."

Barren seemed to tremble at the order, "But sir, we shouldn't separate."

"We have no other choice. Now let's go, we can do this!"

Nodding, the group separated into their units. Swift stopped several meters from Itachi, making sure he had a small window of time to react if this pony also had the ability to fire some kind of attack. Before I could say anything:

Itachi began to speak "I will give you one more chance; tell me the location of Discord, or you will suffer a pain beyond death itself."

The cold tone of his voice sent a shiver behind the guards' backs; if he was bragging about what he was threatening, but they couldn't feel it. Storm could feel his legs shaking slightly at the words that resonated inside his head, 'What if he is stronger than the other? We wouldn't have any chance if that's the case.

Swift kept her gaze fixed on Itachi's, her eyes never moved from him, "NEVER!"

"Hmm, you think what you're doing is right. However ... "he paused to slide his left helmet inside his tunic," now I will have to force you to tell me where the creature is.

Faster than either of them could see, his helmet came out of his cape, throwing several kunai leaves in his direction. Reacting in the last second, each one jumped away from each other, taking the air. On the right, Swift rose ten meters in the air. Itachi put his helmets together, "Fire style: Fireball jutsu!"

Swift panicked when she saw a huge ball of fire sprout from where Itachi was, 'Fire!? So this is his power?'. tilting strongly to the left, the fireball passes next to him, feeling the heat of it as it passed. Panting a sigh of relief, he looked down to see the dark pony looking at him directly, without moving an inch.

Turning to the left, he saw that Storm rose in the sky with his wings and went directly towards Itachi with his sword, to his surprise, Itachi did not move, 'What is he doing? Isn't he going to dodge?'

Itachi only looked for a moment while the pegasus flew towards him. He put his helmet once again in his tunic, took another kunai and threw it to the side of the pegasus's face. As he suspected, the flying pony did not see the burning label attached to the back of the leaf when he passed next to it.

BOOM!

The sudden explosion made Swift tense and look in that direction. What he saw made his heart sink into his stomach; Falling from the cloud of smoke was Storm, half of his body almost completely burned and his right wing was destroyed and bloody, he was missing most of the wing. He was lying on the floor, not moving in any way.

Swift felt something boiling deep in her chest. He stared at the body of his good friend and comrade lying on the other side of the street bleeding. "You... I'll kill you!"

Shooting forward, he swung his sword savagely towards Itachi, his cuts moving in wide arches. Itachi took out a Kunai and put it in his mouth. He moved his mouth from one side to the other, the Kunai bolqueted many of the pony's blows.

Driven by rage, Swift continued to attack relentlessly, putting all her weight in every blow she had. In an instant, he dropped, kicked his opponent's knee and made him stumble backwards. Seeing his opportunity, he turned upwards, connecting with the Kunai and taking it out of Itachi's mouth in the air. "Die!" Swift screamed despite having a sword in her mouth. Throwing forward, he felt the end of the leaf sink into Itachi's chest.

He let go of his weapon and took a step back to see how the sword sank deep into his adversary. Swift began to smile at her victory, "Now you will be one of those who will suffer for m-"

Itachi didn't show any form of pain on his face as he looked forward, then the body suddenly began to deform. The black pieces then solidified into multiple crows that flew through the air. Swift's heart was beating at a mile per minute inside him, "Q-what... what's going on?"

"You're trapped inside my genjutsu." He said a voice from behind.

Slowly turning around, Swift found Itachi's gaze less than a meter away from him. He wanted to run back, but he felt as if his body was blocked in place. His muscles didn't respond to what he wanted to do, "What are you doing to me!?"

"I'm inside your mind; no matter what you do, you won't be able to escape. I warned you what would happen if you didn't give me my answer. Now I will get it beyond just fighting with you."

"How... how did you do this?"

"The moment you looked me in the eye, your destiny had been sealed. Now, experience a pain beyond what you can imagine." Itachi's eyes opened more. Then, the Tomui three-pattern expanded throughout the center of the eye, forming a solid windmill-style pattern.

"Contempt the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Swift felt a strange gust that took over her body as she looked into her eyes, as if she were being dragged by an unknown force. Then he felt his mind sink into darkness.

Chapter 8

Swift's eyes slowly opened, but she couldn't see anything. He felt as if his head was stunned, as if he had been sleeping for hours. After a moment, he wanted to rub one side of his head, but his helmet didn't move. "What the hell...?" Looking to his left, his vision began to focus to see his leg tied to a wooden beam with a metal clamp. Quickly turning his head to the right, he saw his other leg tied in the same way. Then he realized that he was suspended in the air.

Looking around, he saw that everything seemed to be shaded in different shades of gray. I was on what seemed to be a black lake. The sky had a creepy red tint, then the moon was floating high, but its color was blood red. "What is this place?"

"You're inside the Tsukuyomi," a cold voice replied.

Swift looked forward to see a strange bipedal figure standing in front of him. The being was not a pony, but he wore the same clothes as the pony that was fighting. What really caught his attention were the red eyes that he had just seen that the dark gray pony had. "T-you? Are you that pony I was fighting with?"

Itachi only looked at the pony trapped in the wood, "What you see in front of me is my true appearance. In the world of Tsukuyomi, I control everything."

"... What are you going to do to me?"

"Now that you are inside my genjutsu, you will experience a torment beyond what you have experienced before." Walking forward, he raised the sword he held in his hand and slowly sank it into the pony's chest.

"Ah!" Swift screamed when the blade sank deeper into him, moving slowly inside him before being taken out. He looked at the wound, but to his surprise he didn't see anything there. "What? Is this all a dream?"

Itachi's cold eyes stared at him, "In the world of Tsukuyomi, I control time, space and even matter itself. The pain you will experience here will be real." He took a step forward and stabbed him again.

"Ah!" Swift could feel the pain of the sword sinking into his stomach, as well as the pain from where he was stabbed the first time. If this was a dream, it felt more like a nightmare for him.

After several more stab wounds, Itachi took a step back, his arm falling to his side, "If you give me the location of Discord, I will finish the genjutsu. If you don't, this will continue for seventy-two hours."

Swift was out of breath as she sat there. 'I can't let him find out where he is.' he thought to himself: 'Who knows what they would do. No, I am a member of the royal guard and I will not betray my princess.' he looked at Itachi and struck him with his eyes, "You can take that sword and bury it in your t-Ahh!" He was cut when the leaf went back into his chest.

The stabbing continued for what seemed like hours. Swift felt her mind spinning because of the amount of pain she was going through. Hundreds of painful stabbings. Even so, he refused to say anything. Looking forward, he saw that there were now two Itachi, each armed with a sword, and stabbing him repeatedly. "How long can your mind endure this pain before you break?" One of the two asked.

The other raised the sheet again and prepared to stab again, "The time left is seventy-one hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds."

"What!?" Swift shouted: "It's been hours! There's no way it was just a second!"

"In the Tsukuyomi world, I control time and space."

"Are you making time go slower?" Swift couldn't believe that any of this was happening. This was beyond any form of magic that any normal unicorn could do. He's probably as strong as the three princesses together. He thought to himself. Before he could continue thinking, the swords stuck once again in his body. Hours, or what seemed like hours, passed under the red moon. At this point, Swift barely had the energy to scream. His body continued to tremble as he hung helpless while the stab wounds never stopped. Finally, I was at the breaking point of willpower. He couldn't stand any more pain. 'Princess, forgive me'.

"Please, stop." Swift screamed, her throat burned because of the amount of screams that had escaped.

Both Itachi drew the swords from the inside of the tortured pegasus, "Have you suffered enough? Now, where is the Discord creature?"

Swift remained silent in his place panting for breathing, which led another sword to pierce his chest, "Gah! Canterlot!. It's in stone in Canterlot!"

"Where do I find this place?" Itachi asked as he turned the sheet in its place.

"Northeast! Northeast!" Swift was trying to scream as much as she could, but her body was

Drained of almost all forces. Squeezing my eyes, I just wanted all this to end. He lost the will to try to hang on to the life he had left. He dropped his head forward, which suddenly hit the ground with a muffled noise.

Surprised, Swift opened her eyes to see herself again in the center of Ponyville exactly where she was before. Forcing his head around, he saw Blaze and the others still around Kisame in the positions that were before the beginning of the horrible experience. "Didn't the time pass here?" His body collapsed downwards, he tried to get up, which made him scream in agony.

Itachi took several steps towards the crippled pony as his eyes began to return to his standard form of Sharingan, "Although he only uses a fraction of the power of the Tsukuyomi, I am surprised that you are still conscious. I'm impressed, but your mind will still be tormented by the experience you went through.

Hyperventilating, Swift tried to move again, but nothing she did worked, 'my mind is burning. * snort * I can't concentrate. I can still feel every stab of that sword.'

Blitz looked to see his commander collapsed on the ground in front of the dark pony, "Swift! Are you okay!?" He began to panic when Swift didn't respond, "Blaze, what happened to him? Didn't they even fight?"

Itachi looked at Kisame as he lifted his Samehada with both helmets over his head to face the others again. "Kisame, it's time to leave."

Kisame looked at his confused partner, "Hmm? Why?"

"We have the information we need. Let's go."

Before he could answer, Kisame saw how Itachi turned around and disappeared in a no-jutsu Shunshin from the city. Barren looked in shock at what he saw, "Did you just teleport?"

Kisame growled in frustration at not being able to finish what he started. "Hmm..." he looked at the three guards in front of him, "They're lucky I have to leave." Then he hit his helmet against the ground, causing a small wave of water to appear under him. The water rose to completely cover Kisame's body. After a few seconds, the water dispersed, and Kisame had disappeared.

Blitz waved his wings as I watched them escape, "Oh no, they won't escape!" When he began to fly forward in the hope of finding the two ponies, he felt enveloped in a cloud of magic. Looking back, he saw his friend's horn shining, "Blaze, what are you doing? We have to go after them!"

Blaze only looked at the pegasus with a bad temper, "Let them go. We don't have any chance against them. If they leave without damaging the city, we should take that as an advantage." Leaving Blitz on the ground, his attention was focused on the two Pegasus lying on the ground, "Quick! "Storm!"Barren and Blaze ran to Storm Chaser, his body burned by the explosion in which he was previously caught. They shrified when they saw how bad their wing was; part of the main extremity that protruded had been completely blown up, exposing the white bone from under the muscle and burned flesh. 'I doubt that I will ever be able to fly again'. Sterile thinking.

Blitz dropped next to Swift to see what was wrong with him. Scanning his body, he couldn't see any kind of wound anywhere. "What's going on? He's not hurt," he said to himself. Looking at his face, he saw that Swift was only looking forward, his eyes bloodshot and out of focus. Putting his helmet on Swift's shoulder, he tried to get him out of the daze, "Swift! Come on, my friend, get up."

No answer.

"Come on, get up"

No answer.

Panic began to run through Blitz when he saw the condition of his friends, "What, in the name of Equestria, did he do to you?"

Outside the city, Kisame and Itachi appeared in the forest, and walked a constant trot after a few minutes. Kisame approached Itachi with an annoying frown on his face, "Why don't we end up with them? We could have done it in a short time."

Itachi never took the time to look at his partner as he spoke, "We have to go back to meet the others. If this Discord creature is as powerful as they seem, then it will be very useful for us."

"I still don't know why you didn't let me kill them." Kisame complained.

Itachi didn't respond to the last statement while walking. After a moment, he felt a tingling sensation inside his chest. Knowing what it was, he reduced the step to allow Kisame to move forward. Then he took the back of the hoof to his mouth and coughed several times. When he picked him up, he saw the blood stain that had come out of his mouth. He stared at him for what seemed to him for minutes until he lowered his leg again and continued walking.

Trying to concentrate on his current mission, Itachi couldn't stop thinking about what mattered most to him in his life, "I can't die yet..." He said to himself in a low voice, "... I must die... for his hands."

Kakazu and Hidan walked along the meadow that swayed gently, getting bored because they had not found anything that was useful. "This damn place has nothing around here but fields. Why should we follow this path?''

Kakazu's solid green eyes turned to his partner, "We could meet others if we travel in him. I'm not in the mood to waste time right now."

Hidan's eyes narrowed before his masked partner, "You're never in the mood for anything but money. Why don't you take that stick out of your ass and enjoy the pleasures of combat? It would be a good opportunity for us to try it with our new bodies.

"What if you concentrate on looking for something that can take us back to our world?" Kakazu reproach.

"And what exactly are we supposed to look for?"

"Anything that has immense power. Perhaps this world also has its own form of beasts with a tail that we can use for our benefit." Kakazu answered.

The sound of the steps of the helmets caught the attention of both. Looking towards the road, they saw a group of eight horses coming towards them, all in armor. The group had three of the winged type, three of the type with the horn on the forehead and finally two common horses. Kakazu frowned under his mask, "Just when I thought we didn't have to deal with this."

Hidan smiled for the first time in the whole day when he saw those soldiers walking towards them, "Now this is more interesting."

Shining Armor, Twilling's older brother, stared at the two ponies walking on the road in front of him. He looked at one and then at the other, between white and brown, noticing the many things about them; eyes, weapons, clothes, and also the striped metal ribbons that each one had. The masked man wore his own on his head, while the other let him hang from his neck. He turned around and whispered to Rain next to him: "Are these the two you saw?"

Rain nodded, "Yes. I'm sure."

Shining Armor looked straight ahead again, raising his head to increase his height, "You two, I need to ask you who you are and what you are doing here"

Hidan raised an eyebrow at the order he was given, "Who the hell are you supposed to be?"

"I'm Shining Armor, Captain of the Royal Guard."

"And what brings you here... Captain?" Kakazu said with words full of sarcasm.

"By orders of the princess, we must look for any pony that seems suspicious and out of the ordinary. And looking at his dark outfits... "he paused while looking at the triple-leaf red scythe that held the white pony, "... And your gun, they both seem out of place here. Who are you two and what are you doing here?"

Hidan smiled at the unicorn in front of the group, "You have balls trying to give me orders."

Shining's eyes widened when he heard that. He gritted his teeth to the white pony, "I suggest you take care of your tone with us. And I want you to answer my question."

Neon approached Shining and looked at both of them. "If they continue to refuse to comply with my captain's orders, we will take them to custody and send them to the princesses to interrogate them. So I suggest you both answer the question."

Hidan pointed the soldiers with his scythe. "What if you go to hell? I won't go anywhere or say anything to a group of faggots like you."

Neon felt his blood boil in the face of that insult: "A arrogant pot! You will tell us what we ask of you. Now!".

Hidan chuckled at the soldiers in front of him, "Hehe, he, he, it's okay, it seems that today I will give an offering to Jashin." He said as he dropped his scythe on the ground, he put his hand in his cape and took out a necklace with a strange symbol; a circle with an inverted triangle inside. He took it to his face, closed his eyes and prayed: 'Now, Mr. Jashin, I offer you a sacrifice. This is a sign of my gratitude for the power he has given me. I hope this is a glorious massacre.

Chapter 9

"Hurry up, get him on the train!" Blitz shouted from the front of the group that was traveling.

Closely following the pegasus was Barren. He constantly trotted towards the Ponyville station carrying the unconscious Swift on his back. Right behind him was Blaze, who was using his magic to lift a Storm with a damaged wing through the air. In the rear of the group were Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Spike.

Blaze frowned as he turned around and saw the group of mares and the young dragon following him and the other guards. Turning his head, he gave them a stern look, "They shouldn't come with us. We have important issues to deal with, and we can't allow any pony to interfere!

Rarity snorted at the statement, "Well, good sir. It's very rude of him to try to ignore such a lady."

"I'm just trying to point out that we have a serious situation in our helmets and we shouldn't have girls accompanying us."

"Wait, mate..." Applejack shouted, "We girls are the Elements of Harmony. We have already saved Equestria twice, and our other friends are in Canterlot. So let's go with you!"

"Blaze, let's go. They are right. They should come with us." Barren said from the front.

Blaze frowned at first, but snarled an agreement. After narrowly escaping from the fight with those two ponies from before, he was relieved that they managed to come out with so few injuries compared to those they could have received, although the same could not be said of Swift and Storm. Although they were in very bad condition, they were both alive.

Despite knowing that, for the most part, they would recover, a sense of fear persisted in Blaze's chest; he had not even heard of a terrestrial pony that was capable of performing any form of magic, however, these two were performing feats that rivaled or exceeded the power of any unicorn he had seen before. Not only that, they were creating attacks from their helmets and mouths, something that was completely unheard of.

What scared him the most was that dark pony of the two they met. Those burning red eyes seemed to look directly through their own soul. Whatever that pony did to Swift, it was a form of power that I had never seen before. It gave him chills to think about what other things that pony could have done if the battle had continued longer than he had done.

Arriving at the train station, Blitz ran in front of the crowd of ponies that lined up at the entrance of the ticket office. Trotting to the front of the train, he knocked on the engine door. The door opened to a tanned earth pony with a blue jumpsuit, "What do you want?" He said in an annoying tone.

"I need this train to be ready to leave in three minutes for Canterlot." He ordered Blitz.

The driver glared at him. "This train is not scheduled to leave for twenty minutes. We have to allow them to pass-".

"This is an emergency! Do it! By order of the Royal Guard!"

The driver was not happy with the order, but he knew it was better not to disagree with the guards. Whistling, he waved his helmet towards the assistant in the tail van to tell him to get ready to leave.

Blitz nodded his head in approval and reopened the door of the car in the back for his company to approach. Everyone got into the big car one after the other, except Blitz and Blaze. Barren turned around and gave them a questioning look, "We have to go. What are you waiting for?"

Blaze levitated Storm to one of the sofas inside the train and gently placed him on it. "Take them all to Canterlot and warn the princess. Blitz and I have to go and inform Shining Armor about what has happened."

Spike stood up and walked towards the guards, "In fact, I already told the princess what happened."

The three conscious guards simultaneously turned to him, "How?"

Spike smiled at his reactions, "I sent him a letter just before leaving Ponyville. I can use my fire to send him messages magically."

Blaze smiled, "It's okay. Swift had already sent Spitfire, so Princess Celestia will have a good idea of what is happening. Now, we have to go." Walking towards the open door, he told his friend that he was ready.

Blitz nodded and waved his wings to get up from the ground. Floating on Blaze, he placed his helmets under his partner's front legs and lifted him up. After a second, he leaned upwards and flew into the sky back to his captain. Barren saw how the two were leaving before returning to the train, "Very well, we have to notify all the guards of the city what is happening.

"Speaking of telling everyone..." Pinkie Pie interrupted, "Why didn't any pony tell me that there were two new ponies in the city? I couldn't meet them! "

Fluttershy felt a shiver from his seat, "Um, I don't think you want to meet these ponies." She whispered.

"Don't I want to meet them!? I couldn't give them a party! "

All the other ponies faced Pinkie's reasoning when the train began to move.

Shining Armor looked curiously at the white pony while he was standing there with the strange necklace on his helmet. I had no idea what I was doing there so carelessly in the presence of the royal guards. Turning to Rain, he told him to be prepared for anything that could happen.

Kakazu sat there looking at his partner. I hated that Hidan always took his time to say these prayers before advancing into battle. He has no religion because he didn't understand the meaning of worshipping something he could never see. He always looked for things that meant value to him, and that really had a physical meaning.

After a moment, Hidan opened his eyes again and smiled at the group of ponies in front of him. He looked at each one for a moment, wondering what kind of challenge they would bring him. As he picked up his scythe, he smiled, "Very well, now, which of you would like to serve Jashin first as a sacrifice?"

Many of the guards looked at each other strangely as if they expected one of them to know what he meant, but the only thing they knew for sure was that he was a threat. Two brown ground poo guards, Rock Kicker and Spear Tip, grabbed their swords between their teeth and took them out of their sheaths. The others followed his example, except for Neon, who surrounded his sword with a magical aura.

Shining Armor didn't carry a sword with him. Instead, his horn began to shine, creating a small cloud of brown magic in front of him. After a moment, the cloud transformed into a short curved sword. His conjuring technique was one he had learned recently, and he preferred to use his own magic on steel any day. "Let go of the gun or we will force you to do it," the captain ordered.

Hidan chuckled when he saw them prepare for the battle. He took several steps forward before stopping, "Hey, let me start Kakazu first. I want to see if they are good."Kakazu rolled his eyes at his request, "They're going to cut off your head again, and I'm not going to sew it again this time."

Hidan turned around and looked at his partner, "I told you not to mention that again!" His blood was boiling when he remembered the fight against that group of Shinobis of the hidden leaf; being kept motionless by that young student of that jonin with those Chakra leaves. despite being victorious in the end. I look forward again to focus the mind away from those images and return to its new objectives.

Shining Armor was confused by what the two ponies were talking about. 'Cut off head? What do you mean?' He thought to himself. Before he could analyze more, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the red scythe running through the air towards him. He was surprised to know that that weapon could attack from a long distance. "All ponies, disperse!" He shouted.

The group of guards jumped to the side when the large weapon crashed into the ground where they were. Hidan quickly grabbed the steel cable that was tied to his hilt and whipped it upwards, tearing the three blades from the ground and pulling them towards him. Grabbing the handle in his mouth, he charged forward and went directly to Rain and Spear Tip. Swinging his head from side to side, he attacked them at speeds that seemed impossible for a weapon of that size.

Spear and Rain had trouble keeping an eye out. Their swords were blocking the incoming blows, but the force with which they were being beaten almost left them unconscious each time. Hidan laughed with his mouth blocked while fighting. He loved to see the fear on the faces of his opponents when he came for them. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Neon charging against him. Smiling, he jumped six meters in the air above the group.

Neon froze when he saw the pony in front of him jump into the air. "What is this pony?" He said to himself. No normal pony could jump so high.

In the air, Hidan released the scythe from his mouth and squeezed it between his helmets. I lift her over her head and then throw her to the ground, "Woooo!" He screamed with emotion. Neon barely jumped out of the way in time to dodge the blow when he crashed into the ground. Still holding the hilt, Hidan quickly fell to the ground and gave him a powerful kick in the unicorn's face.

"Gah!" Neon screamed in pain as he fell backwards. Looking up, he saw Hidan charging directly towards him. Trying to get up, he carried his horn and fired a yellow ray of magic.

Hidan quickly jumped to the side to avoid the attack. Landing again, he lifted his scythe and threw it directly into the frightened unicorn. He smiled when he saw the pony too scared to move, "It was nice to meet you!"

A bright sword came out of nowhere and hit the incoming scythe out of the way. Hidan looked to the side to see Shining Armor running forward and swinging his conjured sword towards him. The captain's eyes were filled with anger at the strange pony he had in front of him. It was not often that he wanted to take the life of another pony, but at that moment he felt that it was necessary to do so to protect his comrades.

Hidan made fun of the incoming pony. Bending down and zigzagging, he avoided the captain's blows before taking his right helmet back and hitting the captain in the jaw. Shining stumbled backwards several steps after the strong blow, causing his sword to dissipate from the distraction of the spell.

Hidan laughed when he saw the sword disappear "You're not so hard to be a captain. Your little shitty team will never stop me-"

The feeling of steel entering his side interrupted Jashin's worshipper. Looking to his side, he saw Rain grabbing the end of a sword that protruded from his side. Shining Armor stood up and looked at the pony in front of him, his gaze full of anger, "I told you to let go of your gun. Instead, you tried to kill my comrades, so you will suffer the consequences."

Hidan sat quietly for a moment before smiling at the captain, "Well, this is not such a bad punishment."

Shining Armor's eyes widened at the pony's response. Rain did the same as he walked away from Hidan, who acted as if nothing had happened to him. Shining Armor stared at the sword that protruded from the pony. "What the hell is he?" He asked tremblingly.

"I... I don't know. I stabbed him directly through his heart. There should be no way for him to be alive," Rain replied.

Hidan tilted his head down, bit the hilt of the sword and threw. The leaf took a wet and disgusting sip when it was taken out of his body. Smiling, he threw the bloody sword to the ground at his feet and chuckled, "That hurts. You know, I think you should try to experience this pain with me."

Kakazu sat in silence as he watched his partner enjoy the terror he caused in the other ponies. Although he was not one of those who sought fun during combat, he enjoyed seeing others terrified by learning Hidan's skill. "Hm Hm, if they are afraid of his power..." he chuckled, "they won't even be able to probe mine." Since he didn't want to follow ahy sitting without doing anything, he began to walk towards the ponies.

Hidan saw his partner approaching, making his face wrinkle, "Kakazu! I told you to stay out of this! I want these bastards to suffer in my own way!"

"Why should I have to sit all the time while you are the one who kills..." Kakazu snapped, "As you said, this will be a good opportunity to test our powers."

"Hmph! Good..." Hidan frowned. He turned to the guards who were still there surprised, "although that flying blue is mine. I want him to die first."

Rain felt that fear gripped him once again when Hidan bit his scythe and carried forward. Without having a sword this time, he flew through the air to try to escape from the seemingly demonic pony. Hidan laughed as he jumped on the group of frightened ponies behind his target.

Shining was surprised at how fast Hidan could move, but he quickly shook from his trance and looked at the other two white guards of Pegasus, "Cloud Top, Cross Bow, help Rain now!"

The two Pegasus nodded and quickly flew behind the crazed pony. Cloud threw himself and picked up Rain's sword before joining his partner.

Neon began to run after them before Shining stopped him, "Stay here," the captain ordered.

Neon was confused by Shining's action, "Rain needs our help. That pony is not normal!"

"We have another problem to deal with." Shining declared as he looked at the masked stallion approaching, "There is something extremely strange about this one."

The last unicorn of the battalion, Lightning Flash, a bluish-green Pony with a black mane and tail, turned to the captain, "What do you mean, sir?"

"There's something about him that makes me feel strange." Shining answered.

"Those solid green eyes of yours would make the skin of any pony stand up." Neon answered.

Shining was also frightened by the strange looks of the ponies, but that's not what made him cautious, "No, it's not that. I can't put my helmet on it, but I have the feeling that this pony is much stronger than the other one."

Meanwhile, Rain flew by a large tree and rose twelve meters in the air. I knew that pony couldn't follow him so high from the ground. Smiling, he turned around, "Your strange jumping trick won't catch up with me from here." Hidan continued running after him, then suddenly he turned and ran directly towards the tree, "What are you doing?" Rain said to himself. What he saw next made his heart turn upside down.

Jumping forward, Hidan landed on the dark trunk of the tree, and stood next to it! He ran to the side, reaching an elevation almost equal to his goal and then kicked hard and apparently flew through the air with his scythe tight in his helmets, "Now he dies!"

Cross Bow flew at the last moment and hit Hidan's side, causing both of them to fall to the ground. Rain was so surprised that he didn't notice Cloud Top until he was hit in the side, "Hey, what?"

Cloud extended his helmet, holding Rains' sword in it, "You left this back there."

Rain smiled and took the sword with his own helmets. Both he and Cloud fell to the ground and landed next to Cross Bow, who had already untangled himself from Hidan. Jogging next to his ally, Rain smiled, "Thank you Cross, you saved me while I was asleep."

Cross chuckled, "Don't worry. Just give me a drink later and everything is forgiven."

Hidan looked at the ponies. He wanted to do his ritual soon, because he was never someone who wanted to disappoint his god. He raised his scythe over his shoulder, "I'll kill them all eventually, but I'll make sure to catch you first!" He spat as he pointed a helmet at Rain, "You caused me pain, and you didn't experience it with me! I'll make you feel it when I offer it to you."

Before any of the pegases could respond, Hidan ran forward again and attacked them again with the scythe. Jumping sideways, Cross Bow tried to counter with his sword, only to find Hidan's back that came from one side and stuck hard in his helmet. His head was spinning because of the strong impact and rattling of the metal against the skull.

Cloud tried the same technique, except that he was stopped by the steel cable that shot out of Hidan's sleeve. The windy cable wrapped around his sword and pulled back, tearing his sword out of his grip. Then he felt Hidan's hard hoof approaching and gave him a strong uppercut on his chin. Cloud felt his teeth creak when his head moved.…

Chapter 10

In the royal castle of Canterlot, Celestia and Luna were in their throne room reflecting deeply. The older sister was holding the parchment that Spike had sent her a few minutes ago. Reading the description they were given sounded like something that was too implausible even to be credible.

Luna was standing walking from one side to the other while her sister read aloud the parchment for what seemed to be the tenth time that afternoon. His face frowned again as he listened to his sister's words. "Why do we have to wait here, Sister? We should be outside, looking for the vile ponies that are described."

Celestia shook her sister's head, "Moon, if this letter had been from someone other than Spike, she would have ignored it. How could a land pony perform the feats described here? Let go of fire through your mouth? Water out of nowhere? Those are powers that few unicorns learn.

"But Spike told how those ponies attacked your guards! You must act now and find them!" Luna yelled.

"I know, and maybe he's telling the truth about his powers. But if those two have the skills that Spike described, there is no possible way for us to know how much more power they can have."

Luna stopped walking and looked at her sister, "Are you afraid, sister? Don't you want to defend our world from these invaders?"

Celestia glared at her. "I'm not afraid for myself. I'm afraid of what might happen with our ponies. If these... Invaders are really dangerous, I fear for the well-being of our citizens."

"Then, let's fight for your safety! Let's go outside now! Together we will spread them like leaves and-The doors of the camera slammed open, surprising the two princesses. They turned to see Twilight Sparkle running towards them followed by two pegasus. Immediately they recognized them as Rainbow Dash and Spitfire. Celestia came down from her throne as they approached, "Twilight, what are you doing here?"

Twilight took a second to catch her breath before speaking, "Princess, my friends arrived in Ponyville and gave me horrible news! There is-"

"I know, Twilight. I have already been notified." He intervened while lifting the letter in the air.

Twilight looked at the role, "Is it Spike's?"

"Yes. He sent it not long ago. He explained how two ponies came to the town and threatened the safety of the citizens."

"What happened? Are they okay?" Rainbow asked quickly.

Celestia gave a solemn look, "Spike said that my guards suffered some injuries, but none of them died fortunately. He said that the two left suddenly after fighting for a short time. He and the others are heading to Canterlot while we talk."

Spitfire breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the guards were fine, but immediately recalled another important fact, "Your Highness, what are your plans to protect the statue of Discord?"The princess of the sun bowed her head confused, "uh? Why should we protect her?"

Both pegasus exchanged worried glances before Rainbow turned forward, "Didn't he tell you? These ponies are behind Discord."

Celestia's eyes widened when she heard that. The magic that was around the card disappeared, causing the paper to fall to the ground. Luna stopped walking and turned around too, "What are you talking about?"

"They were asking the guards where Discord was." Rainbow responded quickly, "And those other two were also asking about-""What!? Two more?" Celestia interrupted, "What are you talking about now? Are there more?"

Rainbow then went on to explain what had happened to him that same morning. She told the two real unicorns how she met the one named Deidara and her partner in the Everfree forest, how they asked her for information about a source of power and all that. Then he went into details about the strange explosives that the pegasus shot from the mouths he had in his helmets towards her.

When she finished, Celestia approached her sister to whisper in her ear: "This is much worse than we could have imagined, Luna. There is a possibility that these are not the only ones. We have to assume that they could see more ponies than we haven't heard from yet.

Luna nodded, "What should we do then?"

"Go out and protect the statue personally while I-"

"What!?... do you want me to sit on my ass while those ponies are out there?"

"Luna, you and I are the strongest in Canterlot. If these ponies are really as powerful as we have heard, we have to make sure that Discord stays safe from them. Who knows what they are planning with him if they catch him. I need your help with that while I prepare the rest of the guards."

Luna frowned, but finally nodded before leaving the room to the main doors to the side. Celestia then turned to the three mares in front of her, "Okay, I'm going to need you two ..." pointing a helmet at Rainbow and Spitfire ", to prepare the Wonderbolts squad for the action. Air specialists will be necessary in case we have to fight above the ground. "

Rainbow jumped forward when he heard what was said, "wait, wait, wait. You did... You just asked me... To help... I wonder...", he couldn't finish the sentence at that moment. Celestia smiled at the young pegasus's response, "From this moment on I name you, Rainbow Dash, official member of the Wonderbolts. Captain Spitfire, what do you say about this election?"

The yellow mare smiled at her friend, "I would be honored to have Rainbow as a member of my team."

Rainbow had to contain the squeal of emotion that accumulated in his throat. Twilight came over to congratulate her, "Well, Rainbow, it seems that you finally achieved your dream. Your loyalty is shown here by how you never gave up.

Those last words made Rainbow's smile fade instantly. 'Loyalty?' She thought to herself: 'I can't believe I left my friends in Ponyville.' She tried to convince herself that it was to help Spitfire, but she knew deep in her heart that it was fear that made her leave. Before she could respond, Spitfire told her to follow her to the Wonderbolt camp to look for the others. "Oh, hehe, I have to go Twilight." Rainbow said quickly before running after his new captain.

Twilight smiled when she saw her friend so happy, but then she focused her attention on her teacher, "What about me, princess? What should I do?"

Celestia turned her gaze to her violet pupil, "Twilight, I have a special job for you to prepare."

Rain was scared when he saw Hidan use his tongue to lick some of the blood that was on the edge of his gun. He looked at Cross Bow and Cloud Top to see that they had the same disgusting expression as him. "What the hell is he doing?" Rain asked.

Cloud shook his head in disgust, "How should I know? It's a phenomenon."Hidan chuckled darkly when he felt the power begin to flow through him. Suddenly, his white coat changed to a gray tone, before darkening to a solid black. The color was as dark as the coat worn by the tyrannical Nightmare Moon. All over his face and body there were white marks mixed on his fur, which resembled where the bones of that part of the body would be. He lifted the pick and stuck the end in the front leg. Rain and the others were breathless at the act. "What the hell is he doing to himself!?"

Hidan smiled as he watched the blood flow into the earth, forming a small red puddle. Putting his free helmet in the small mass of blood, he began to spread it on the ground around him in a wide circle. After he surrounded him, he began to create a triangle design in the center of the circle, until it was identical to the necklace around his neck. He looked at the blue Pegasus and smiled: "Now, the link is complete. The trial will come." Lifting the pick again, he stuck it in his right ankle.

"AAAH!" Rain screamed in pain as he fell to the ground, grabbing his right ankle.

Cloud jumped back from his comrade because of the sudden reaction, "What the hell... Rain, are you okay?" He leaned over to see what was happening, but was surprised to see an open wound on Rain's ankle, "What-what happened?"

Hidan laughed now, "Ha, ha, ha! Oh, this is great! Do you like that? Do you enjoy the pain?"

Cross Bow looked at Hidan and then turned to Rain, repeated that several times, trying to understand what was happening. Suddenly, something came up; "The blood! He tested Rain's blood!"

Rain saw that the wound that Hidan did to himself was the same one that suddenly appeared on his own leg. Then he saw the strange design that was drawn on the ground under the seemingly immortal pony. He felt a shiver run through his spine when Hidan stood on his hind legs and grabbed the pick between both helmets. "What-what are you doing?"

Hidan hissed more laughter at the look of fear on his victim's face, "Now, I'm giving Jashin the offering I promised him. GOODBYE!" He shouted as he lowered the black weapon and stuck it in his chest, more specifically; in his heart.

A sudden painful sensation hit Rain like a train. He dropped and grabbed his chest with his helmets. He began to roll in agony when a torrent of blood gushed out of the depths of his throat and gushed out of his mouth. His heart felt as if something was pierced with a knife. It was the most painful thing he had ever felt in his entire life.

Hidan sat with the tip embedded deep inside his chest, savoring the sensation of the tip running through the center of his heart. He took a deep breath several times before tilting his head back for the pleasure of pain as he smiled at the sky, "Incredible. Jashin will be pleased with this one." He looked at the ponies in front of him and laughed. Cross Bow bent down and put his helmets on his friend, "Rain! Come on friend, get up, we have to get out of here."

Rain tried to look at his comrade, but he began to lose concentration in his head. His view was clouding more and more. His breath came in rapid gasps, each one getting weaker every second. His heart beat in irregular patterns as he faltered. Then... he stopped beating completely.

Cross Bow panicked when his lifelong friend stopped moving. "Rian! Get up, my friend. Let's go!" He began to shake the bleeding pony on the floor. When he didn't wake up, he shook him harder: "PLEASE! GET UP! "After a few seconds of silence, he stopped, finally accepted the answer.

Rain was dead.

Hidan's laughter resounded through the grass field, reaching the ears of the other group of soldiers. Shining Armor turned around to see the crazy pony now covered in black fur. Confused, he observed how the fur began to slowly fade to a gray, until it returned to its normal white color. Then he saw how he pulled a long black gun from his chest. His mind was trying to find out what he had just seen when his eyes moved towards the sunken body that lay in the grass. "Rian?"Neon was also looking, "What happened to him? Is he... is he dead?"

Kakazu chuckled as he looked at his partner laughing, "Well, it seems that Hidan has finally obtained his sacrifice."

Shining turned around and looked at the masked brown stallion, "What are you talking about?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Kakazu asked with a cold tone, "Hidan binds himself to his opponent's body through his blood. Then, performing his ritual, all the pain he feels he shares with the other.

"What?"

Kakazu's green eyes looked at the captain, "Do you remember when you stabbed him in the heart? He didn't die."

Understanding hit all the soldiers at the same time. Everyone looked again at the now inert body of their ally in the grass in the distance. A terrible feeling of pain took hold of each of them knowing that they did nothing to try to help Rain. The anger spread through Lightning Flash's face when he turned to the other black-cared pony. His horn began to charge, creating small currents of electricity that came out of the tip and flowed into the air, "You two monsters... are going to pay for what you did to him."

Kakazu lifted his right helmet off the ground and pointed it at the bluish-green unicorn, "You're pretty talkative, aren't you?" Instantly, his helmet shot out of his leg towards the unicorn.

Flash's face went from hatred to panic when the helmet rushed through the air, "What the hell!?" Jumping to the side, he could barely dodge the helmet when he crashed into the ground under it. Looking at the helmet, his eyes followed the back of it, which led to a large bundle of black appendage, such as cables, connected to the helmet. He nervously followed the pulsating wires to the end of Kakazu's open leg. His breathing began to fail as his nerves jumped out of control when he saw the disgusting ligaments writhing.

Rock Kicker almost vomits when I saw how the cables like tentacles attached to the helmet, they retracted inside Kakazu's leg. "That's disgusting! What the hell are these ponies!?"

Kakazu looked at the brown pony and lifted his other front helmet and shot him. Kicker was too surprised to move when he saw the helmet quickly approaching his face. Fortunately, Spear jumped up and swung his sword, cutting the connection between the cables and the helmet. The little stump fell to the ground with a muffled noise, followed by Spear a moment later, smiling at his achievement.

"Spear, watch out!" Neon yelled.

Spear turned around and dropped his sword in shock when the long strand of cables charged towards him. Before he could do anything, the long pieces wrapped around his body, holding him tightly. Throwing his leg back, Kakazu lifted the helpless pony in the air above him. "Rahh!" He snarled as he pulled down, causing Spear to fall to the ground with a heartbreaking force.

"Spear!" Flash screamed in panic. He saw that his friend was injured but still conscious.

Kicker carried his sword and hit Kakazu, who quickly lifted his other leg. The tone of the fur of Kakusu's leg became much darker, then he blocked the incoming sword. The blade stopped abruptly when it collided with Kakuzu's hull, which was as hard as a rock.

Kakazu looked over his leg at the surprised pony, "Do you like my earthly style; iron skin technique?'' He laughed when Kicker ran back to his place out of fear.

Unstirring his tendrils from the stunned pony, Kakazu fired some other long wires towards his amputated helmet and lifted it towards him. The sharp tips of the tendrils acted like sewing needles, penetrating his skin as he began to sew the helmet again. After a second, he rejoined as well as before. Neon was totally incredulous about what he was witnessing. These ponies did not look like anything I had seen before; one could take out and put back parts of the body as if they were pieces of toys, while the other could kill another by ingesting his blood like a voodoo doll.

Nean looked at his captain in search of answers: "Sir, what do we do?"

Shining looked at the half-zombie pony, "We fight until we find his weakness. Let's try to see if he's still alive after we hit his heart."

Kakazu looked up at the sky and saw the position of the sun. He frowned under his mask, "Hmm, we're going to be late for tonight's meeting," he said to himself. "If we will be here fighting, it could make this more interesting for me." He took his helmet to the opening of his cape and began to open the front. Once his front legs were free, he threw the black clothes aside.

All the eyes of the guards widened when they saw him under his clothes.

Shining thought he was imagining it at first, but then he noticed that the others were as surprised as he was. "What the hell is he?"

On Kakuzu's back there were four different masks that pierced his skin.

Chapter 11

Through the leaves of the low and hanging branches, a figure wrapped in a layer came out in the sunlight. From his perspective at the top of the hill, he looked at the great castle that was in the distance. His bright Sharingan shone through the only hole in his mask as he squinted in an attempt to get a better view. "Hmm. This place seems interesting." Tobi said as he looked at the huge city, analyzing the structures and the landscape.

As far as I could see, the main castle was located on the side of the great mountain behind it. From its base, it was surrounded by an extensive and vast town, which rivaled the size of even the great People of the Hidden Leaf in its own world. Like the Leaf, the village had a large main wall that surrounded the outside, which gave it an important line of defense against any intruder. Seeing this made him laugh to himself, "Hm hm hm, I don't think they've encountered intruders like us."

The sound of a loud whistle in the air caught his attention, causing his ears to rise by reflection. On the other side of the valley in the distance, a strange form of machine traveled towards the outer wall of the village. From the front rose what looked like a column of steam similar to some of the great ships in his world, although he had never seen a structure that traveled through the earth in this way. "This is undoubtedly a different place."

"Yes, it is."

The cold but familiar voice behind him made Tobi turn around and face the speaker. When dissolving on the side of a tree, Zetsu's great green flycatcher Venus protruded from the bark. Opening the center, the black and white face looked at him with bright yellow eyes. "So, I guess you found something that could be useful to us," Tobi asked.

"Yes, we have found another type of horse that lives in this world..." said the black half, "In the southern desert."

"What's the point of knowing that another type of horse lives here to help me find something I want?" Tobi responded coldly.

"Actually, we are not sure if these are types of horses." The black Zetsu spoke halfway, "They have many features of horses, but they have characteristics similar to insects," black Zetsu, and followed white Zetsu, "and in addition, they have powers similar to mine."

Tobi was curious at this point when he heard this. He allowed Zetsu to continue explaining what he had discovered in the arid desert region. The last part was especially intrigued. "This is good news. I wonder what things the others have found on their journey." Turning towards the great village, he saw what seemed to be a group of flying horses driven by one larger than the others far from the great wall. "I could slide there and look around, but I would prefer not to deal with problems right now," he thought to himself. "We can investigate this place with the others later. Let's go back."

Activating his power, Tobi got into his emptiness like a jutsu, once again disappearing from the earth. The white Zetsu frowned when they were left there. "You can go anywhere in an instant with that technique. It still takes us time to travel."

"Just shut up." He said the darkest half.

Closing the insect trap, Zetsu dissolved in the tree once again and disappeared under the bark.

Shining Armor looked with surprise at the masks that protruded from Kakazu's back. Outlining the body of the mutated pony there were dozens of long stitch lines in a mixture of directions. Before he or any member of his platoon could say anything, the skin on Kakazu's back bulged and moved in an unhealthy ripple through his body in strange directions. The masks were lifted, pulling the dots that joined them to their host like leeches. Then, the four of them broke, literally tearing the sewn areas on their back. After being released, the masks were followed by large black masses of what looked like a sticky substance. They formed a bow and jumped to the ground with disgusting plops. Lightning Flash couldn't even believe what I was looking at. "What kind of sick pony is this?"

Neon observed how the batteries suddenly lifted from the ground, shaping into unique body designs. He sat in shock when the four forms finally took their forms; they were all huge bodies taller than the princesses. Each one wore a mask where their supposed faces would be, giving them the appearance of giant demonic puppets. "What, in Celestia's name, are these things?"

Spear Tip crawled to his knees, trying to shake off the dizziness on his head. When he looked up, his pulse rose through the clouds as he looked at the new things that were in front of him. ''What in all of Equestria?'' He whispered to himself. He looked at Kakazu and almost fainted at what he saw next; the huge opening in his back was closing by itself, followed by long lines of threads that sewed the skin again, finally closing his back completely.

Rock Kicker felt his knees tremble when the new and massive objects stayed there like statues behind the masked pony. He turned to his captain, "Sir, what should we do now?"

Shining Armor was too surprised to answer the question. I had no idea what was going on now. I had never even heard legends of a pony that could create things from his back. This pony really had to be a kind of demon! He shook his head to remove the fear that was forming inside him. He was the captain and he had to do everything possible to protect his comrades: "Let's stay united. We don't know what these things can do."

Kakazu chuckled when he heard that. "Do you want a demonstration then? It's okay, I'll give you one." He said taking a look at the injured Spear Tip. He took out one of his helmets, and from there emerged his dark tendrils that were wrapped around the pony's throat. Lying back, he lifted the pony above his head and looked at the others, "You get what you want, Captain."

Shining's eyes widened when the pony held the soldier in the air: "NO!"

Kakazu launched Spear Tip on the air with a powerful launch. As soon as he left, he put the helmets together. Immediately, the highest of the forms, which wore a mask with a yellow nose, leaned upwards, towards the falling pony. Large sparks of electricity began to form in the center of the mouth, concentrating power.

"Lightning style: Simulations of darkness!" Kakazu shouted.

A huge lightning bolt emerged from the mask and exploded in the air. The bright explosion illuminated the entire grassy plain with a bright blue glow. Then, he hit the target. Spear Tip screamed in agony, writhing in pain when the powerful waves of electricity illuminated him in a bright explosion of light. The current of lightning continued for several more seconds, without diminishing once the power that began to overload each nerve inside the terrestrial pony to the breaking point. After a moment, his heart was turned over by the immense commotion that became too difficult to handle. When the lightning stopped, his body fell to the ground and landed with a great muffled noise.

The pony was dead before touching the ground.

All the guards felt as if their hearts were coming out of their bodies because of what they had just witnessed. Not only did they realize the power that only one of these things had, but they lost another partner right before their eyes. Cloud Top and Cross Bow, who were far from the others, also looked in disbelief when they saw the lightning that killed their friend. Cross Bow looked at Cloud, seeing the terror on his face. "We have no chance against these things." Before Cloud could speak, they heard Hidan begin to rant. "Kakazu! What the hell are you doing!? You're going to kill them all like this, selfish bastard!" Hidan shouted through the grass, "I have to give Jashin more sacrifices, and I can't do that if you kill them all, idiot!"

"I couldn't care less about your god, Hidan. I want to see how long these horses can last against my abilities." Kakazu answered.

Shining Armor looked at his guards and then at the figures in front of him. He knew that just by seeing the power of one of those things, his group couldn't wait to defeat four of them and two crazy ponies. 'I was a fool. First of all, he should never have tried to involve them," he scolded himself, "thanks to me two of my friends are dead. I can't let the others die too. Slowly, he began to back down.

Lightning Flash saw his captain move, "Sir, what do we do?"

"Back," Shining replied, "All of us... let's retire again to Canterlot."

Understanding that they had no chance of victory, all the guards turned around unanimously and began to run out of the battle. Cloud Top and Cross Bow also flap their wings and took off towards their teammates. Hidan glared when he saw that his sacrifices abandoned him, "Hey, come back here, kittens!" Running towards his scythe, he picked it up and loaded it after the ponies.

Kakazu watched funny as the ponies ran through the grass. "You can think you'll be safe if you run, but I have no intention of leaving survivors," he said to himself. A moment later, the large round mass wearing a mask with red marks flew in the air and hurried to chase the group of guards. After a few seconds, he passed over them and landed on his way.

All the guards stopped running when they saw the big thing fall in front of them. "Can these things also fly!?" Neon yelled.

Kakazu put his helmets together, making the red mask open his mouth. Inside, a burning flame began to blink inside the open jaws, turning into a small ball of fire. "Fire style: Scorching migraine!"

A huge burst of flames shot out of the mouth of the mask and turned into an immense wall of fire more than six meters high. The fire rushed forward, trapping all the guards in shock. Kakazu chuckled when he saw the flames completely envelop the ponies. "Hmm. It seems that in the end they were not worth fighting much."

The flames suddenly pushed out from the center. Kakazu looked confused at what happened. "... What?" He saw how the smoke dissipated, leaving what seemed to be a magenta-colored sphere of energy that surrounded the ponies. He looked frustrated when he saw that they had survived. "So, they have some talent for blocking that technique, huh?"

Shining Armor lowered the barrier around him while he knelt for the effort. The barrier barely had enough moments to surround them, but grateful to have been able to create one so quickly in such a small time window. Their little success in their mind was forgotten when the other three black masses with masks surrounded them.

Neon swallowed the lump in his throat when he saw that there was no way out. He turned around and solemnly looked at the others. "It has been an honor to serve with all of you."

At first, the others were taken off guard, but they nodded their heads, and everyone realized that this was the end. Everyone prepared when the red mask opened its mouth again, carrying its fire technique again.

However, before he could do it, a bright stream of magic fell from the sky forward, piercing the mask directly through the center. The black mass began to sway back and forth, then collapsed on the ground and dissolved into a wet pile Rock kicker stared at the now dead... thing on the ground in front of him, then he looked up at the sky to try to see where that attack came from. "What was that?"

Landing on the ground in front of the cracked mask and the sticky mass were Blitz and Blaze, smiling at their comrades. Blaze turned around and looked at the other remaining masks that were around. "I'm sorry, we were late. I had a little problem finding them. It seems that they could use our help."

The large doors of Canterlot's throne room opened, followed by Twilight's friends running in as fast as they could. The young purple unicorn smiled delighted when she saw them all. "Girls, Spike! They did it!" Running forward, he met all of them in a big group hug.

"Of course, bucket of sugar, we always stick together." Applejack said happily.

Rarity looked around the room in search of her only missing friend. "Hey, where is Rainbow Dash? He left to come here with Spitfire."

"She's fine. She and Spitfire went to the other Wonderbolts to prepare them in case of an emergency. And... "Twilight's smile spread all over her face," Now it's a Wonderbolts!"

Everyone was breathless with enthusiasm when they heard the news. Pinkie jumped into the air and took her hooves to her face, "Oh my God! I'm very happy that it's a Wonderbolts, I can't believe it!" He spoke so fast that the others could barely understand what he was saying, but in the end they only laughed at his antics.

Celestia smiled when she saw Twilight and them so happy. Having the girls here also made her feel better; if they had to use the elements of Harmonia for some reason, the girls were prepared. Returning to the door, his smile disappeared when he saw the look on the guard's face entering the room. Barren approached the trot slowly on the red carpet towards the princess, with his eyes sunk in guilt. When she reached the steps where she was, she knelt on the floor, "I'm sorry, my princess. We have failed them as soldiers."

Celestia trotted towards him and put a hoof under his chin to raise his head, "No, Barren. You are a good soldier. You did everything in your power to face the ponies that threatened the people."

Barren laughed to himself, "To face them? They didn't even seem to be trying to fight us. If those two had wanted to, they could have killed us whenever they wanted, especially that dark one. Whatever he did to Swift, I leave it very serious.

"Tell me, what exactly happened to him because of what you saw?" She asked him.

She heard him explain everything that had happened in the fight, in detail. Although he read what Spike had told him, listening to the facts of a guard gave the story even more credibility. Once she heard the part about Swift, she sat quietly for a minute to think for herself. What kind of power could have done that to a pony? And how could a pony do it without being a unicorn?' He turned to look at the soldier, who was still kneeling on the floor, "Where is Swift?"

"He and Storm Chaser were taken to the hospital's emergency center. Storm is in operation, and Swift... The doctors don't know what's wrong with him."

"Take the girls to your room. I'll meet you there." Celestia ordered. Turning around, he trotted towards the side doors of the room that led to the balcony. He looked down to see more than three dozen guards lined up in an orderly manner preparing to be stationed at their stations around the city. Most of the guards had already left and were ready. The ones below that she could say were new recruits judging by their strict line formations. Although he usually kept the rookies in the barracks to train, he knew that all the helmets were needed in case something arrived in the city.

Opening its large wings, it slid down the edge of the balcony towards the center of the gardens. Looking for the moon to tell him what they were going to be dealing with. After a few moments, he saw the statue of Discord, but to his surprise, his sister was not there. "What?" On the other hand, two ponies were underneath. Landing on the ground in front of them, he realized that they were his sister's guards.

Lunar stallions.

The two guards were wrapped in a purple armor that covered most of their dark gray bodies. Under his purple helmets shone his bright yellow eyes, his pupils cracked like those of a snake. Replacing their normal pegasus wings on their sides, the long bat wings stood out. Both the eyes and wings were from a moon spell, giving them greater abilities above normal flight or vision. However, most of the time they were used to give them a more threatening appearance. When the two soldiers saw the princess of the sun, they bowed, "Princess celestia, what brings you here?" Asked the one on the right of the statue.

Celestia frowned at the guard, "I could ask them the same thing. Where is Princess Moon?"

The two guards looked at each other confused, then the one on the left looked at Celestia. "Princess Moon told us that you wanted guards on the statue of Discord while she was on an exploration mission outside the city."

"WHAT!?" Celestia shouted, surprising both guards. She couldn't believe what was happening; Luna not only ignored what she was asked to do, but now she was taking a risk to go look for these strange ponies. 'Are you doing this to try something, Luna?' Celestia thought to herself.

Turning, he looked at the orange sky from the setting sun. "Moon, silly."

Flying hard through the air, Luna pushed her wings as she led her battalion of lunar guards over the earth. She looked forward as the wind whipped her eyes. He frowned thinking about what his sister had told him, to sit like a colt next to a statue while there was a threat in his land. 'No, I'm the princess of the night, I don't back down before an enemy!' He screamed inside his head.

She looked back to see how the others were; six moles followed her closely, each with a lunar unicorn associated by the front legs. Even when they were told what they could possibly face, all the battalion guards volunteered to join Luna in her mission. They were determined to help their princess with any task entrusted to them, regardless of the danger or risk involved.

Smiling to herself for having such determined soldiers, she looked back in the direction in which she was flying. "We are the soldiers of the night..." she shouted for the others to hear her, "We will fight to protect our land no matter what gets in our way!"

Chapter 11

Dozens of bright yellow eyes shone in the shadows, belonging to the large pack of forest wolves that slowly slid through the dense foliage of the forest. The seven wooden bodies creaked with every cautious step they took on the floor. Under the low sun, the dim light perfectly covered the beasts.

(Not mine was also part of the story I translated)

Wolves were twice the size of an average pony, which made them formidable killers of anything that fell in their path. Stopping at the edge of the forest, they looked through the leaves at the only pony that was walking around the place. They looked at the ignorant pony with murderous intentions, noticing the black cloak that covered his body. Several members growled as they began to take steps out of the bushes, but stopped at the sound of an authoritarian growl from behind.

Pushing the smallest wolves to the side, the alpha male of the forest wolves walked to the front, causing them to shrink in fear from submission and fear. With more than four times the size of a large stallion, the wooden wolf leader was perhaps one of the deadliest individual creatures in this region. His brute force and speed allowed him to hunt on his own when he had to, without having to depend on his subjects to bring him food. On other occasions, he enjoyed being in the presence of others during a massacre to show them his power.

Looking at his next meal, the alpha salivated, his wooden jaw soaked with saliva. To his surprise, the pony stopped walking and turned around to look at them directly. His face was full of piercings that filled the bridge of his nose and reached his eyes. His ears also had a large number of black perforations on the outside. Even for the wolf, the strange pattern in the purple eyes of the pony sent a shiver through the bark of his skin.

The pony stared at the wolves in the trees for a moment before talking. "They should come out, creatures. I know they've been following me."

Despite not being able to speak, forest wolves have the ability to understand a certain degree of the language of other creatures. Knowing that they were no longer hidden, the leader made a low growl, telling some members to his right to go out and knock down the pony. Bowing their heads in preparation, three wolves burst through the trees, their long legs pumping quickly as they closed the distance between them and their prey.

Pain stood still, allowing the creatures to approach him before focusing the chakra on his horn. "You animals don't know the power I have." In the next instant, a powerful shock wave came out of his horn, hitting the wolves with the force of a locomotive. They barely had time to howl when their bodies exploded into hundreds of chipped pieces.

The alpha wolf watched in shock as he watched the body parts of his companions spread through the grass in front of the unicorn, which was standing in the same place.

The pony's impassive face stared at the pieces of wood that fell before him before turning his gaze to the other wolves that were still in the forest. "Everyone should leave while I still leave them. If not, they will experience the pain of Deva's power."If the wolves of the forest had some form of blood, it would be boiling with hatred inside the leader of the pack. Running forward, he rushed towards the unicorn standing in front of him. Showing his teeth, he threw a loud roar as he approached. Then he noticed that the pony was lifting his right helmet from the ground. Suddenly, a thick black bar slipped from the sleeve that covered his limb, falling into the grip of the helmet. Pain threw the blade of his spear at the great wolf, but failed when the beast jumped to the side.

The wolf landed on the ground, his eyes looked angrily at the pony that tried to hit him. He nailed his claws to the ground, charged against the pony and jumped into the air, with his mouth wide open and his teeth ready to bite the flesh. To his surprise, the pony stood still until the two were only sixty centimeters away from each other. Pain's purple eyes opened even more than before, followed by an explosion of force that threw the wolf ten meters back and crashed into the ground, destroying itself with the impact.

The remaining wolves trembled with fear when they saw the members of their herd being destroyed by this strange pony. Never before had they seen their leader even slowed down by a pony, let alone annihilated as they had just witnessed. Turning their tails, they ran as fast as they could into the depths of the forest, entering into the darkness of the trees.

Pain closed his eyes and turned to the direction he was going. "Problem animals." he murmured to himself. He had gotten tired of the wolves after stalking him for the last hour. Now that his little annoyance was behind him, he continued back to the field to meet the rest of Akatsuki.

After another ten minutes of walking, he saw the small group of hooded figures gathered. As soon as he approached, everyone turned and looked at him. "So you finally decided to show up." Kisame sneered.

Pain didn't even turn to look at him when he entered the circle, "I come when I decide to come. You must know your place and not accuse others of arriving on time."

The great blue stallion glared at Pain, but chose to shut up out of respect for the bow mask of his organization. Itachi chose to speak when he saw Pain without his partner.

"Where is Konan?"

"We chose to separate and look for more areas to obtain information."

Sasori looked up at the sky when he noticed a shape coming towards them. "It looks like she's here too."

Falling to the ground, Konan bent his wings to the sides and approached the other limbs.

Deidara noticed that he had an almost sad look on his face when he stepped forward. "Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Konan raised his head and looked at the blond-haired pegasus, "You should mind your own business, Deidara."

Deidara raised an eyebrow at his reaction, "What's your problem? I can say that something is biting your ass. Hmm."

At that moment, Tobi took a step towards the center of the circle, his eye shining through the hole in his mask as he looked at Konan. "You act as if you come across something strange that bothers you."

Konan frowned, remembering the place he just left.

Five hours before

Flying through the sky, Konan looked around the earth as he flew over it. He appreciated the wings he had, it allowed him to save the chakra by not having to create paper wings. Flying southwest from where he left Pain, he now found himself over a large desert region. Extending for what seemed like miles, the bright sand and the stone floor ran under her as she beat her wings, pushing her further towards this barren area. He began to believe that he was going to undertake a meaningless exploration mission for anything that could be useful to the group. Frowning at herself, she prepared to turn around and return to the meeting place, but she glimpsed what seemed to be a small town in the distance.

Curiosity came to his mind, Konan leaned down, leveling as he approached the ground. Continuing to fly, he began to pass over what seemed to be a large block of trees lined up in perfect columns around a road that passed directly through the center of it. He watched as the trees suddenly stopped on the outskirts of the approaching village.

Falling to the sandy ground, he bent his wings to the sides and chose to continue on foot... Or hooves for the case. From what I could see, most of the buildings were made of wood, which gave the impression that they were older despite the fact that the structures looked new. Before she arrived in town, a voice yelled at her from the side: "Hello, stranger! What brings you here?"

Konan turned to see a golden pony jogging towards her with a brown leather vest. Under the brown hat he wore, he had a two-tone orange mane falling, color identical to the tail on the back.

Not wanting to act suspicious, he nodded as the pony approached, "Hello, nice to meet you, my name is Konan. I was just passing by here."

A bright smile spread over the pony's face, "Well, you came to the right city to pass through here. They call me Braeburn, and welcome to Appleloosa!" He shouted as he pointed to the city behind him.

Konan raised an eyebrow and looked at the city pointed to Braeburn. I was perplexed by the sound of the city's name. 'Dos this village have the name of a fruit?' Then he looked at the smiling pony again. "So, what is this place?"

"Wow, this is the best place in this part of Equestria for growing apples. This city was built..." Braeburn paused and let out a little laugh, "Hey, why don't I give you a tour of the city? Let's start walking. Let's go." Turning around, he trotted along the way to the city.

Konan hesitated at first, but decided to follow him. He knew that if he started looking around the city, citizens could be suspicious of his actions. Following another around for a short tour would give you a way inside to look, as well as possibly learn some things from this pony. They saw that most of the citizens dressed in a similar way to Braeburn.

While Braeburn continued to wander about the history of how this city came about and the different things to enjoy here, Konan simply followed him and looked around for anything that could lead to information about something useful. However, after a while, he began to notice several interesting things about this town. Most of the ponies who walked seemed to be very happy; the younger ones ran laughing while kicking a ball. The elders casually went in and out of the different stores that lined up in the streets. Some even danced to the sound of the music that was played for them.

In each village of its own world, no Shinobi from abroad could enter without others suspecting them as possible spies or threats. The main leaders would have sent their own Shinobi to look for information. Even within a single village, tension was always felt between the different clans that resided in it, arguing about who should have more control or power than the others. Here, this Braeburn guy not only didn't question who she was, but he actually invited her in as if she were an old friend. Even more than that, but most of the other ponies he passed by smiled at him, also welcoming him to his house. 'Neither of them cares about who I could be? They act as if there was nothing to worry about.' she thought to herself.

"Hey Braeburn!"

Konan's gaze looked at what seemed to be another type of creature that he did not recognize walking towards his guide. The apparent female also walked on four legs, but she was shorter and much thicker in build than the walking ponies. In his orange mane he wore a feather that protruded above his head. She watched as this new figure and Braeburn happily chatted with each other for a short time before the newcomer looked at her. "Oh, who is this?"

Braeburn smiled, "She's Konan. I was just showing him the city." He paused and looked at Konan, "Konan, this is Little Strongheart. She is a buffalo who lives around here."

Konan looked at the buffalo and nodded, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Strongheart gave him a warm smile, "Nice to meet you too. Well, I have to go. Take care of yourself, Braeburn." Turning around, the young buffalo walked away from the trot.

Konan looked at Braeburn again with a hint of confusion, "Is it from another village?"

Braeburn was a little surprised by that, "Uh, I don't know if you consider tents as a village, but yes, she and her group live in the nearby valley."

"And are they at peace with each other?"

"Yes, of course. Well..." the farm pony scratched the back of his head with his hoof, "We had some problems when we built here at first, he, he. Don't worry, we'll solve it. In fact, we're good friends now.

Konan was amazed by what this pony had heard; how both groups were in conflict with each other, but they were able to overcome their differences and be at peace. In fact, if Braeburn hadn't told her that, she would never have guessed that there was ever any tension between him and the buffalo. 'This place has the ability to make peace with each other in such a short time, unlike my world,' she thought to herself.

He looked around at all the happy faces that walked through the city, enjoying the wonderful day together. It seemed that this world had come to something that she had always dreamed of seeing happen in her home. Peace. A warm feeling spread through his body, bringing something to his face that he didn't remember having the last time.

A smile.

Sasori giggled when he heard Konan's story. "So, what's in that little place that made you soften?"

I'm just trying to say that this world seems to be at peace. If we are trying to find a way home, we should try not to disturb the ponies who live here," Konan replied.

Tobi growled annoyed, "I already told everyone, I don't care what happens to the creatures of this world. My goal is to return to our home and complete the plan there." He paused as he looked around. All the other members were here except two. "Where are Hidan and Kakazu?"

"How can I know? I'm not his nanny. Hmm." Deidara sneered.

Kisame smiled as he imagined what the two of them were doing. "They probably decided to have fun and kill some of the ponies here."Zetsu turned to his leader, "Should we wait for them?"

"No, I don't want to waste time waiting for them to show up..." Tobi paused as he looked at each member in the clearing, "I want to hear what they have discovered in this world."

Deidara frowned, "We didn't find anything useful where we went. He wanted to fly..." he looked at his red-haired partner, "But someone didn't want to."

Sasori looked at the blonde pegasus, "We could have continued for longer, but the bomb maker decided to try to kill a blue horse and was stopped by his friend. We had to go back because the two who escaped could have alerted the rest of their colleagues.

"Je he. Itachi and I met that blue horse in a small town north of here. She yelled at us saying that we used the same thing as you. That you didn't kill her caused us problems." Kisame chuckled, knowing that he was getting under the bomber's skin.

Deidara looked at the tall blue stallion, "I would have killed her if her stupid friend hadn't come and-

"Ah, I see. You were overtaken by a horse with wings."

Opening his wings in frustration, Deidara showed his teeth, "Take care of your mouth or I will turn you into art! Hmm."

"Enough." Tobi shouted, "I can see that you didn't find anything. What about you, Pain?"

Pain's stone face looked at the masked uchiha, "I didn't find anything either."

Frustrated by another failure, he looked at the cream-colored pegasus, "You already said your failure, so there's no reason to ask you" his comment made Konan frown. Tobi then looked at his two-tone assistant. "Zetsu has found something that could be useful to us."

The two-tone pony advanced towards the center of the circle. "In the southern region, there is a moor that has another strange type of horse. It seems that they have black scales instead of fur, and they all have wings and horns like insects," said the white half.

Sasori was bewildered by this, "What makes them important? I thought we were supposed to find great sources of power"

"There is one that is much bigger than the rest. He has much more power than anything else he has seen so far in this world. It could help us with what we need.

Tobi noticed that a member was sitting quietly to the side, with his eyes closed. "Itachi, you've been silent all this time. Anything you have to add?"

The eyes of the dark pony opened, revealing his bright red eyes, "Kisame and I found what is possibly our goal. In a place called Canterlot, I discovered that they had a beast known as Discord in stone there. The horses that inhabited a nearby town claim that this creature has enormous power."

Tobi was very intrigued by what he was hearing, "Where is this place called Canterlot?"

"To the northeast from here."

The masked pony's eyes opened when he heard that. 'That's where I was. So, that place had something useful for me after all. He looked at the rest of the Akatsuki again. "Now, let's go and complete our goals."

"Who should go after what?"

"Judging by what Zetsu told me, I want Kisame and Sasori to go and capture the beast in the desert moor. Pain, I want you, Konan and Deidara to lead the attack in Canterlot and clear the way to the beast Discord.

Konan gave a worried look at the order, "What will happen to the ponies who live there?"

Deidara raised an eyebrow at his reaction, "What the hell is wrong with you? You had no problem killing those from the village of the leaves. Why do you act so soft? Mmm."

"I'm just saying that if they are at peace, we must be careful how-

"There is no such thing as peace through love." Pain said suddenly. He turned to Konan, his eyes looking directly at her, "Love engenders sacrifice... What in turn generates hatred. Living like this will only cause them pain, no matter what they do."

"Pain, I know it sounds incredible, but I assure you that this place has found-

"I think your partner knows what he's talking about." Tobi interrupted Konan. Seeing the powerful rinnegan user agree with him gave him some satisfaction. "Now, let's go."

Nodding their heads, Kisame and Sasori took off towards their target to the south.

The others prepared to leave before Deidara shouted: "Hey, let's travel faster like this... ". he put his helmets in his bags, took them out and formed a small bird with one of his mouths. Letting him fall to the ground, he put his helmets together, causing a large cloud of smoke to come out of the bird. Once it cleared up, one of its precious giant clay owls was ready to fly. "I'd rather fly than walk. I will take them to save time. Hmm"

The others began to walk towards the big bird, but Tobi then shouted. "You don't, Itachi."

Itachi looked at the masked pony with a cold look. "Is there any reason why you won't let me go? After all, I was the one who discovered this beast."

"I want you to go and find out what is holding Kakazu and Hidan back. If necessary, eliminate everything that gets in your way." Tobi looked at Deidara. "Everyone go. Go to Canterlot and take care of any disturbing interference."

Nodding, the bomber flew in the air, his giant owl followed his example, leading the other two members to the sky. After he left, Itachi looked at Tobi again. "Is there any other reason why you're sending me away?"

The masked pony chuckled. "Itachi, you can deceive the other members, but I know what your real goal is. If you could, you would do anything to return to our world and leave me trapped here."

Itachi's eyes narrowed, "If I could, I would have gotten rid of you years ago."

"But you can't, can you? In addition, you need me to help you return to our world if possible. And just to make sure you don't try anything silly, I want to keep you at bay by taking you to see our other colleagues.

The blood inside Itachi's veins boiled, but he kept his face blank with emotions. "Good. I'll go and see what they're doing." The dark pony turned and started jogging, before stopping and returning. "Remember, if we return to our world, our deal still stands. You shouldn't touch my brother."

Tobi let out a cold laugh, "I wonder if you will last long enough to return." He looked at Itachi's helmet, noticing the traces of blood in the fur. "Judging by the progress of your illness, I can't say how much longer you have."

Itachi looked forward again, not wanting to look at that cold-hearted figure who made fun of him. Jumping, his mind continued to show memories of his past, images of the many things he did to protect what he thought was right. Many times, he saw the face of the person he cared about most and who needed to be killed.

Tobi saw Itachi disappear in the canopies of the forest. His face turned to the last figure in the clearing with him. "Follow him, Zetsu. I want to know if he succeeds."

"Do you really want me to die?" The white half asked.

"I don't expect him to die. He is still extremely strong, and I doubt that anything here can defeat him. I just don't want it to interfere. If he dies, then it doesn't matter. He will be out of my way."

Chapter 12

The open field was full of patches of scorched grass and small craters everywhere while the platoon of soldiers continued to fight the immortal duo. Despite the fact that Blitz and Blaze took the black mass of red mask by surprise with their silent arrival, they had not been able to launch a single attack directly on the other masks.

Lightning Flash and Neon faced the yellow lightning mask again. Simultaneously they loaded their horns and launched several quick discharges of magic in their direction. Flying in the air, the dark form responded by shooting a lightning bolt in its direction, the explosion tote a small crack in the ground. Lightning pushed Neon out of the way and focused his energy, using himself as a beacon. Neon looked in horror at what he was seeing. "What are you doing!?"

Lightning Flash felt the surge of voltage hit his horn and go through his body. Although I had the special talent of working with electric-style magic, I was not prepared for this amount. He could feel his muscles blocked by the overload of power. When the current stopped, he fell to his knees with lines of electricity pulsating around his body as he tried to recover his thoughts. "That, Uff... n-wasn't very smart of me." He made fun of himself.

Cloud Top was committed to Hidan once again, desperately trying to block the rapid movements of the scythe. His body began to feel the result of fighting for too long. The muscles began to suffer cramps everywhere and their breathing accelerated. To his surprise, Hidan didn't even seem tired from all his terrible experience, acting as if he could continue attacking for days. The crazed pony grabbed the scythe between his helmets and pounced on the tired Pegasus. "Come and join Jashin in the underworld!"

Before his scythe touched the pony's flesh, the Rock Kicker blade connected with the big red weapon and reflected it. The land pony could barely stand while the akatsuki member loaded his tired body with a burst of blows. After several more blows, the sword came out of its grip and was sent through the air. Rock Kicker froze with fear when the end of the scythe turned again and cut his throat. The surprising thing for him was that he didn't really seem to feel pain, but a loss of all feeling in an instant. He fell to the ground while the blood filtered through the deep wound of his neck, cleansing his body of life.

Cloud Top felt his blood cool as he watched his comrade die in front of him. Before he could do anything, his eyes met those of Hidan, who had a bloodt thirsty look as he smiled at his next victim. "You should allow me to end your suffering and just die now"

Blitz and Cross Bow flew through the air, trying to lose the flying black shape behind them. Blitz looked over his shoulder and saw how the white mask opened his mouth and threw what looked like a mass of air swirling in his direction. Turning sharply downwards, he barely dodged the incoming vortex as he was shooting. Flying a little closer to the ground, he moved from one side to the other while the air attacks arrived faster, each gust ripping off pieces of earth and grass, crushing the material into tiny pieces. "Shit, we have to do more than just run. These things are going to catch us at some point if we keep fighting like this. He said to himself.

Shining Armor and Blaze faced the fire mask. Now that the mask was working of its own free will, the fire that came out of its mouth was smaller condensed fireballs. Although they were still dangerous, they were much less threatening than the huge wall of fire that had sprouted from the mouth before. Shining looked at Blaze and explained the plan to him. "Very well, you can conjure your own fire spell to help counter incoming attacks to distract him. As long as you activate it for several strokes, I will try to contain it and allow you to finish it. "The yellow unicorn nodded. "Let's try, captain." And with that, he carried his horn and created a small ball of fire at the tip. After a second, it shot out of it, growing to become a burning mass about thirty centimeters wide. The mask responded by firing its own fireball to face the opposing attack. The two explosions collided, creating a burst of hot flames in all directions and the smoke rose upwards.

The two fire conjurers exchanged a mixture of bursts of fire as they moved parallel to each other. Shining Armor saw that the mask was completely focused on Blaze and didn't even notice it. "Very well, here's my chance." He prepared to fire his magic, but gasped when he felt something grab his back leg and pull him back. He was dragged to the ground until he suddenly stopped. Turning around, he saw a helmet wrapped around his ankle, and attached to that there was a line of tendrils that led to Kakazu.

"YOU are fighting against me." The masked pony snarled.

Blaze continued to try to counter all fire attacks, but he had to resort to dodging when the opposing fire began to surpass his in terms of speed and power. "Shining, what are you waiting for!?" He shouted. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his captain on the ground under the gaze of the dark stallion. He felt that fear took over his heart when he realized that he was now fighting this thing on his own.

Shining Armor moved and kicked Kakazu in his chest to drive him away. When Kakuzu's helmet slid around his leg, the captain got up from the ground and fired a ray of magic at his challenger. Kakazu jumped to the side and charged against the white stallion. Shining conjured a wall of shields in front of him to stop the incoming pony that crashed into the magic barrier.

Kakazu hit the barrier several times before stopping. "Impressive technique... but I think it's defective." He laughed surreptitiously when he suddenly shot his helmet in his right front leg and slammed it to the ground.

Shining looked confused as the tendrils continued to meander to the ground. He prepared for anything, but suddenly he was hit expectantly on the chin by the helmet that was on the ground under him. Kakazu laughed as he watched the shield disintegrate in front of him, leaving the captain stunned without protection. "Your shield only protects you from attacks directly in front of you, but it didn't protect you from all other directions, even under the ground." When the tendrils sucked the helmet upwards, his other front leg fired and grabbed the captain by the neck.

Shining gasped when he felt that he was raised in the air and then crashed hard on the ground with an unhealthy speed. He screamed in pain, but then they picked him up again and beat him again in the same place. Then he had the experience of being thrown forward and bouncing on the earth like a rock in the water. His body shook on the ground until he stopped, the captain shuddered in pain as he tried to crawl, but he could not sit for more than a few moments before falling again. "Gah! I think he broke my leg with that! He grimaced at himself.

Looking at the others, the captain looked in horror as he watched Cloud Top fall to the ground by a strong push, and then be impaled on his side by Hidan's red leaves. The crazy laughter of the pony spread through the battlefield, imprinting it in the captain's mind, watching with horror as the pegasus fell to the ground, the blood filtered through his mouth as he made a grimace of loss and defeat. After another moment, his eyes turned white and closed forever.

Not far away, Shining saw Cross Bow fall from the air when his wing was cut by a gust of air coming from one of those black things with masks. The pegasus groaned in pain when he crashed into the ground with a sudden landing. Before he could go up again, the thing with a mask was placed on his body and fired another burst of air on his defenseless form. Shining looked away as the cries of torture and death resounded, not wanting to see what the attack did to his comrade's body. However, when he began to cry for his fallen comrades, he felt that a helmet grabbed him by the shoulder and turned him on his back. A second later, another hoof went down and began to crush his tease.

"Hmhmhm, did you think you could actually defeat us?" Kakazu said as he increased the grip of his helmet in the captain's throat, "You never had a chance against our powers."

Shining struggled to breathe as he tried to remove the helmet from his neck, but the pony that held it was as strong as steel, without moving an inch. He felt his mind begin to slide into the darkness when Kakazu lifted his other helmet. "I'm upset because your group destroyed one of my hearts, but I think yours will be a wonderful replacement for me and- AGH!"

Kakazu was shot by a blue explosion of magic.

Coughing while recovering the air, Shining turned around to see where the attack was coming from, but he was surprised to see who he saw. "P-princess Luna?"

Inside the main wardrobe of the Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash looked at herself in amazement in the large mirror of a wall. With the standard uniform of the blue and yellow Wonderbolt, she looked at herself repeatedly from different angles, admiring how the outfit complemented her athletic and elegant figure, actually more than when she was wearing nothing. He couldn't help but laugh at the excitement of finally achieving the dream he had always had since he was just a foal. After so many years of hard training, I finally managed to be part of the team of the best flyers in Equestria. "This is so amazing! I can't believe I'm really using this! "

"Enjoying the new appearance?"

Rainbow screamed in surprise at the sudden voice. Turning around, he relaxed when he recognized the light blue pegasus mare with a silver spiked mane leaning against the door, with his Wonderbolt outfit lowered from his head. "Hello Fleetfoot."

Fleetfoot smiled as he straightened up and trotted next to Rainbow. "You deserve it. You are faster than most of the flyers on this team. Well ... apart from me.

Rainbow chuckled at his comrade's ego. "I think we should have a career at some point to try that. You need to get a couple of grimaces knocked down.

Rolling his eyes playfully, Fleetfoot turned around and began to walk out of the room, "come on, we have to get to the meeting."

Grabbing his pair of Wonderbolt glasses, Rainbow followed his flying ally out of the locker room and down the hallway to the main room of Wonderbolt.

Already inside the room were the other six members who headed the Wonderbolt. In front of the others were Spitfire and his partner Soarin.

Sitting on the floor on the left, there was a white stallion with an orange and tanned mane.

Sitting next to him, as usual, was his younger sister with an identical style, the only difference between them was his light blue coat and his two-tone yellow mane.

On the right was sitting another pegasus with radiant two-tone water blue hair, contrasting brightly with her cream-colored coat.

Next to her sat another stallion with his matching white coat and his curly blue hair almost matching Pinkie Pie's in the wild.

Everyone looked up to see two other members landing. "Very well, now that we are all here, we have a lot to discuss." Spitfire said.

"Uh, I have a question..." Lightning Streak asked with a raised eyebrow, "Why are we the only ones here? Why didn't you love everyone else? Also, where is Rapidfire? "

"I made the others go to Cloudsdale to pick up a special order made by the princess. I asked him to direct the others, since he can coordinate them well.""By the way, what is this special thing that the princess wants?" Soarin asked as he turned to his captain: "I don't even know what it is."

"Everyone will see it soon." Spitfire responded before turning his attention to the others. "Now, I will explain the mission assigned to us. We must act as Canterlot's air defense team in the face of the possible risk of a group of ponies appearing here.

"And what exactly can this group of ponies do?" Misty Fly asked.

"We don't know about all of them. What the princess told me was that one of them had a huge sword on him, and he could create water out of nowhere and use it as an attack. His partner is supposedly capable of firing fire from his mouth and also has a strange magical technique. Somehow it can cause a pony to fall into an almost comatose state.

High Winds shook his head in disbelief, "How is it that a terrestrial pony does magic in the first place? It just doesn't seem possible.

"I don't know, they're trying to find out. Now, the other pony of this group of which we know its powers is the one that Dash and I meet. He has mouths on the floor of his two front helmets and from them he can spit some kind of white matter that detonates as if they were bombs and- ". Out of nowhere, Fire Streak began to let out a laugh, causing Spitfire to frown as a sign of annoyance. "Did I say something funny, Fire?"

"Actually, yes..." Fire took breath to speak clearly, "Just the idea of a pony with mouths in the helmets. You know that if he is good with the tongue, he will surely know how to please a mare in bed. Soarin and Lightning Streak had to suppress a laugh that came out of their throats. Lightning turned and hit his brother in the helmet, both brothers laughing to themselves. However, when Fire turned to the others, the looks of all the mares caused their ears to be crushed on the top of their head. He rubbed the back of his head with his hoof as he felt like an idiot now, "I, uh, I was just saying."

Spitfire looked at Soarin, who in turn looked the other way and began to whistle to act innocent. Looking back at Fire Streak, he grabbed a bottle of water and threw it at the immature pony. "Oh!" He screamed when the bottle hit one side of his head. Rubbing the now painful point, he looked at his angry captain, "Okay, I'm sorry! I was just making a joke.

"Do you think this is a joke!? This is serious, Fire Streak. This pony almost killed Rainbow and tried to catch me too. We face ponies with powers that we have never seen before, and we must be prepared for anything." Spitfire looked at the other faces in the room as he continued his speech, "I know it is strange that we prepare for a danger like this, since it is usually only for the royal guard, but the princess herself has assigned us to this because our talents and flight skills are sharp as knives. We will serve the princess the best we can." Sliding the helmet of his uniform over his head, he took and put on his glasses. "Now, we are going to carry out patrols in pairs of two around the city. Soarin and I will be around the main castle. Fire and Lightning, I want you two to cover the western perimeter. Strong winds and Misty Fly have the front. And Rainbow and Fleetfoot watch the east."

Nodding, the rest of the Wonderbolts put on their team and followed Spitfire and Soarin out of the room.

Luna and her battalion were ready for battle in front of the others in the field. The dark purple armor of the soldiers seemed to shine brightly despite the fact that there was hardly any light left in the sky. The group had created a perimeter around the solar guards, who were now too exhausted to continue fighting. His reptile eyes looked menacingly at the three black shapes that floated nearby. From the ground, Shining Armor stood up when the princess of the night approached him. "P-Princess, what are you doing here? Agh!" It was interrupted when it collapsed again on the ground. Luna put a helmet on his back, telling him to stay down. "Rest, captain. You have fought bravely against these monsters. Let us fight and take the weight off your back."

Kakazu shook his land as he looked at the intruder. "This is turning into a headache, more and more of these damn ponies are appearing. I'm not going to take it easy anymore!" Standing on his hind legs, he put his helmets together and took control of the lightning mask. "Lightning style: Simulations of darkness!"

The mask fired its powerful burst towards the group. Simultaneously, three lunar unicorns fired their magic and created a shield. The dark blue barrier shook when the lightning struck it, but it remained firm and strong until it stopped. Taking advantage of their opportunity, they deactivated the shield and went on the offensive, three night soldiers, each against a separate mask. The rest stayed behind and watched the recovering soldiers.

Being newcomers, the lunar guards had the advantage of speed over the masks as they submerged and submerged under the attacks that shot them. The masks also seemed to be weaker than before, their attacks were consistent but not as shocking as before due to the use they gave it for so long. They retaliated by firing their own magic or throwing their daggers at the high masses.

The pair that fought against the lightning mask was fine, the unicorn levitated large rocks and threw them into shape. The lightning destroyed the stone, but distracted the mask long enough for a pegasus that was on it to bombard it from the air and hit it directly on the mask. The black mass staggered weakly when the small crack began to spread through the mask. Seeing his moment, the Pegasus grabbed his partner and made him spin in the air before throwing him into the air. Carrying his horn, the unicorn magically cut the mask in the center, breaking it in half. The body immediately dissolved like water that flowed to the ground after that.

Neon watched with astonishment as the night guards fought with the masks, but his admiration was interrupted when he heard a movement behind him. Turning around, he saw Hidan charging against an unsuspecting guard and going to kill him. "Be attentive!" He shouted.

The lunar pegasus turned around at the warning, and barely had enough time to draw his own sword and counteract the fast scythe.

Hidan laughed as he continued to attack, "I wonder how Jashin will like you bastards as sacrifices!"

Jumping in the air, he tried to nail his gun to the back of the Pegasus, but was interrupted when he saw another who flew towards him. Smiling, Hidan got involved in a battle in the air for several blows before using his scythe to remove the weapon from the reach of the ponies. Losing the grip of his scythe, he quickly took the other black tip of his sleeve and threw it. "DEATH!"

SPLAT!

The guard screamed in pain when the pick went directly through the armor of his chest and went through his back. Both Hidan and the mortally wounded guard fell to the ground with a muffled noise. Pegasus spit out a breath of blood, his vision began to become confused as he rested his head on the ground. A moment later, his heart stopped beating, ending the guard's life.

The lunar guards who remained on the ground felt their blood boil when they saw their comrade dead. Running forward, two pegasus began to throw a sling of small daggers that carried the white pony on their belts. Hidan turned back in the air, swinging his pick to block the incoming projectiles. Dodging the explosions of magic that were now approaching, he tried to make his way to his scythe, but was blocked by a flash of yellow light. "What the hell?"Outside the flash of teleportation, Neon and Blaze threw their magic into a combined stream of orange magic and hit Hidan in the chest. Jumping backwards, he was knocked down on his back when another pegasus bat jumped on him.

Hitting him, Hidan was able to remove the pony from above him and get up. However, as he tried to stand up, three different rays of magic hit him from different angles, enveloping his body in aura. "What the fuck is this!?" He shouted while the magic of the unicorns locked him up.

One of the moles Pegasus took a steel bracelet from his belt and threw it at one of the unicorns. "Put this on him, we'll take him back to Canterlot with us."

Hidan tried to escape, but the magic around him kept him steady. "Kakazu, bring your ass here and help me!"

Kakazu looked back and forth between the different guards and the two remaining masks, fire and wind style. He knew that he had never allowed masks to operate alone for so long before, and he could say that his chakra supplies were running out. Realizing that he had to end this, he decided to raise the bets. "Do you want to see my true level of power? I'll show it to you."

The two masks abandoned their battles and flew back to Kakazu. The shapes collided with their owner's back, tearing the seams once again. Then, his whole body began to move and grow before the different lines of stitches on his legs and sides opened, the tendrils extended his ligaments and his height. Large masses of tendrils stretched from his back, the two masks sitting on top and looking forward. A moment later, his mask was torn from his face, and more tendrils hanging from his mouth.

All the different guards and Luna took a step back out of the commotion because of the new view they saw. The monster in front of them laughed as he spoke, "You should realize that you don't have the power to kill me in this state. Now that they have merged with my body, our chakra flows together and makes me much more powerful than before.

Luna's face went from commotion to determination as she trotted in front of the others. "I'll take care of this one."

The lunar unicorn to her right turned her head towards her as she began to approach her princess. "We will help you."

"No Night Shine, protect the other soldiers and let the princess of the night do her job."

Night Shine held his tongue because he wanted to talk more, but nodded with approval before jogging towards the others while they held the restricted Hidan. "Make sure he doesn't escape."

Hidan agitated on the floor, but the four fastened wives kept all their helmets tight together. "You little idiots will be dead when I get out of here! I will make sure that Jashin torments their souls for all eternity once I have finished with my rituals! "

Luna stopped ten meters from the mutated Kakazu, looking at him with his eyes fixed like a stone. "You shouldn't challenge me."

Kakazu raised an eyebrow in confusion at the small statement. 'Seeing him in this way, knowing the power he possessed 'and simply saying that he didn't fight was all he could think of?' Kakazu felt that she was simply trying to deceive him. "Hmm, that's a strange statement from a pony who hasn't even shown his own powers. And more importantly, you are a woman, which already attenuates the idea of you as a threat, he, he, he. I know few women who have ever posed a challenge to my abilities.

"Do you think I'm weak simply because I'm a mare? You will regret having ever accused one of the princesses of weakness." Luna smiled when her horn began to shine. "I haven't been able to use many of my spells since they can be lethal for most. But now, maybe if I can try some against the pony that has damaged the royal guard."

A cold laugh escaped from Kakazu when he heard that. "Certainly you speak loudly for a-

He stopped talking when Luna disappeared in a bright blue flash. To his right, he saw another flash when she reappeared. He jumped backwards when she fired a ray of magic at him, and barely reached him by one foot. Kakazu jumped very high, and in the air he focused his fire mask and threw a large fireball at the princess. Luna focused his magic and made a thick wall of rock rise from the ground in front of the moon, using the stone wall to block the fire, sending sizzling flames in all directions.

Seeing that that wouldn't work, Kakazu landed and then wore the wind mask and formed a powerful shot of condensed air, breaking the stone wall. To his surprise, the princess was no longer behind the rock. "Where the hell did he go?" With his eyes scanning from one side to the other, he tried to locate his target. When the movement above him caught his attention, he looked up to see Luna flying towards him and releasing a lightning bolt from his horn. Extending his legs, he retreated and evaded the attack when he crashed into the ground where he had just been. Looking at him, he manipulated the long rows of tendrils on his back and shot them up in the air.

Luna charged her magic, creating two separate blue masses. They stretched until they became their conjured double curved swords and began to make their way through the dark gills as they rushed towards her. When a thick strand tried to hit its bottom, it quickly used both blades to cut down, cutting a wide opening for it to pass in a fraction of a second. When another mass meanders up, he realized that fighting them was useless, since they kept coming. Turning his sword in the air, he threw it towards the center of the incoming attack, cutting most of the dark length and causing it to fall to the ground. Flying, he stopped and landed on the ground and faced the brown pony once again.

Kakazu sneered as he rejoined the cut portions of tendrils. "She's very fast and talented..." he said to himself, "much more than the others before. It seems that not only can you perform useful defensive techniques, but that your offense is also balanced. This is more challenging than I thought it was going to be.

Luna deactivated her conjured swords and straightened up. "While it feels good to stretch from time to time, I have no intention of continuing to fight. I'll end up with this now or I'll end this."A growl escaped from Kakazu's throat in the face of the new threat. "Do you think you can kill me!? I may be surprised that you have a lot of talent, but I won't die for someone like you! "Both masks then opened, pointing at the princess. "Now he dies!"

Both the fire and the wind exploded at the same time, forming a huge explosion of heat. The combined attack was launched out faster than any previous attack, tearing off large pieces of land as it rushed towards Luna. Concentrating his magic, he created a blue shield around him, preparing for the attack. Hitting the shield, the fireball exploded outward, enveloping an area ten meters wide.

"Hm, now I would like to see your powers resist that explosion." Kakazu chuckled.

The sudden blue flash in front of his face startled him, then surprised him when Luna stood right in front of him with her horn pointing directly at his chest.

"Goodbye." She whispered.

A current of magic gushed from the tip of the princess's horn, forming an outward arc in a massive explosion three meters wide as it wrapped Kakazu. Akatsuki's member screamed in pain when he felt the attack throw him backwards, being dragged by the current as the magic began to tear him apart. The remaining two masks were broken into fragments before completely disintegrating. Large quantities of his tendrils were released from him, spiralling through the lightning until they crashed into the ground next to their host. Kakazu's mind immediately fainted, without giving him time to understand that he had just been defeated.

Chapter 13

Diedara led the great clay owl through the air, going in and out of the low and hanging clouds, covering herself even though the sunlight had completely vanished from the sky. Looking at the full stars there, he saw with astonishment how the moon suddenly rose to the sky in just a few moments. 'That's something quite strange,' he thought to himself.

Several more minutes of flight, the blonde-haired Pegasus saw a big city in the distance. Seeing that they were now close to their target, he guided the huge owl to the open valley below. When the trio landed, Pain and Konan descended from the owl to the ground and contemplated the Great City of Canterlot.

"So, this is where the beast is kept, I guess." Pain clearly expressed.

Deidara nodded, "This is where we were told to go, it's a great village, just like Tobi said."

Konan looked at the city, worried that they would have to enter to take their target. Knowing that there would be many civilians gave him a sense of concern inside him. "So, how are we going to recover the creature? We don't know what it looks like."

"We go in and force the ponies to tell us where it is." Pain ordered. "Deidara, go and give the first blow to the entrance."

A big smile spread over Deidara's face when he heard that demand. "Okay, I'll do that. Hmm." Opening his wings, he flew through the air directly to Canterlot.

Konan saw how the Pegasus left them before turning to his partner. "Pain, are you determined that you are going to destroy this village just to get this beast?"

"We have to find a way to return to our own world. Our goal must be fulfilled if we want to bring peace to the shinobi nations. This world doesn't worry us." The orange-haired horse looked at his companion, her face expressionless like a stone. "Why do you care about them?"

He was silent for a moment before talking again. "Because I believe that they have found peace through goodness."

Pain turned around and walked towards Canterlot. "Unless they know the true meaning of pain, they will never find peace."

Deidara quickly reached the outer wall that surrounded Canterlot. Flying more than thirty meters above the stone barrier, he approached a cloud and crouched down to hide behind it.

Deidara was perplexed to learn that he could physically step on the cloud as if it were dry land. 'Now this is something really strange' He chuckled as he bounced up and down a couple of times on the fluffy surface.

After his little fun, he settled down in the cloud and looked down at his target. As far as I could see, three guards were on the wall directly below where he was. Two Pegasos dressed in blue suits quickly approached through the air. Crouching in the cloud, Deidara waited for this to happen before noising her head again. "Aerial explorers, huh? Those won't be a problem very soon." He laughed to himself.

Choosing that the guards below would be the best thing to eliminate first, the akatsuki member stood up and put his helmets in the bags on his sides.

Grabbing a bite of clay in each helmet, he jumped out of the cloud, spread his wings and flew down in complete silence. Shaping the shapes in the clay bombs, he spit them out at the unsuspecting victims below.

On the wall below, the trio of pegasus guards looked at the land that surrounded the city. They stared with the intention of looking for any pony that approached and that could conform to the description given to them. The problem was that it's night, the moonlight couldn't show much to their eyes. If the ponies that were a threat were smart enough, they would find a way to hide completely in the shadows to infiltrate the city. However, they would always be attentive and... Splash!

"Eh?" One of the guards turned to see what appeared to be a white spider that landed on the wall next to him. "What the hell is that thing?" However, before he had time to react, the spider jumped forward and clung to the face of the surprised pegasus.

The other two guards remained in a state of pure confusion as they watched their comrade begin to shake desperately trying to get rid of the creature, but before they could go to help him, two more landed on the wall and attacked them as well.

From above, Deidara smiled as her creations grabbed her victims tightly to ensure that they could not escape. "Now is the time to show this world the true meaning of art." He chuckled as he lifted a helmet.

"KATSU!"

Swift felt like she was sitting in an open field with the sun shining on him. The warm rays radiated through his body, making him feel as if he were in a land of pure bliss and happiness. Closing his eyes, he felt better now than he had felt in maybe weeks. It was perfect. It was wonderful. But I could say... It wasn't real. "Where am I?" He said to himself.

Almost as if it were a sign, he felt that he was being taken out of that place, entering a dark void where he could not see anything. The next moment, he felt that his body weighed a ton, so heavy that he could not lift a single one of his limbs. A moment later, he opened his eyes to see the princess pull the horn away from her forehead. "What? Where am I?" He asked in a hoarse voice as he tried to get up.

Celestia used one of her wings to push the silver pegasus towards the bed again. "No, Swift, the spell I used can make you feel quite exhausted. You are in the emergency center of the hospital."

Looking up, the exhausted guard saw the bright lights and the white ceiling above him. To his left there were several machines that carried tubes to his veins along the front leg. Standing next to the princess were five young mares, one that she recognized as the sister of her captain, Twilight Sparkle. Standing next to him was a companion on duty. "Barren?"

The land pony smiled at his comrade. "Hey Swift, how are you feeling right now?"

Swift frowned at the question. The throbbing inside his head made him lie on the pillow and put a helmet on his head. "It feels like my head is under a rock."

"That's the side effect of eliminating that power that was over you." Celestia said: "I have to say that I haven't felt that level of dark energy in a long time."

"Dark? Ha." Swift chuckled, "Rather it was pure evil."

Swift, continuing, explained to the princess how that dark pony used his eyes to take him to the kingdom he called Tsukuyomi. He told everything about the pain that Itachi caused him within that world, and how he was the one who revealed the location of Discord to him. "I'm so sorry, princess. I couldn't take it anymore."

"There's nothing to regret, Swift..." Celestia said kindly, "You did what you had to do."

"Princess, what do you think we should do?" Twilight asked, "If this pony has this level of power, how can we be sure that we are protected against him... and from others?"

"I think these ponies can be dangerous, and facing them head-on in a fight will be too risky for most guards. Y-

BOOOM! The loud explosion from a distance sounded inside the room, shaking all the ponies. Reacting quickly, Celestia ran to the side window and looked out. To his surprise, the smoke rose from the wall to the entrance of the city, and was followed by a trail of explosions that led to the interior of the main shopping center.

A cold understanding struck the sun goddess at that moment. "We are under attack." She said.

Swift sat on her bed when she heard that, "Very good, ahh!" He screamed when the pain in his body forced him to go back to bed.

"Swift, you need to rest. You can't move in your current condition. Stay here." Celestia sued before looking at the others. "Twilight, you and the other elements of harmony go to the area that surrounds the main castle and gather all the ponies you can find. Tell them to take refuge in the castle."

Nodding, the carriers (minus Rainbow Dash) ran out of the hospital room, leaving Barren there alone. "And what about me, Your Highness?" He asked.

"Join the rest of the guards, and get ready for battle."

Fleet Foot and Rainbow Dash saw the smoke rise from the front of the city, obscuring the air and blocking most of what could be seen. "The city is being attacked. They must have passed Mist Fly and High Winds. Let's go!" Fleetfoot took off towards the threat, but stopped when she realized that she was alone. "Rainbow, we have to go."

Rainbow sat floating in his place as he looked at the cloud of smoke rising. When another round of small explosions began to hit the buildings, he felt a shiver run through his spine when the memories of the previous day returned to his mind. "It's... it's him." She whispered.

Fleetfoot flew back to Rainbow, seeing the terrified look on the cyan pegasus, "Is he the one who attacked you yesterday?" When Rainbow nodded, the older Wonderbolt knew why she was acting that way. "I know. You're afraid of Rainbow, I understand."

"Do you understand?" Rainbow said as he changed his gaze towards his partner, "Have you ever had a crazy pony shooting birds exploding behind you? Have you ever felt completely helpless since you were only a few seconds away from being murdered?"

"I know you're scared. I would probably be acting the same way you if that happened to me. But now you won't be facing this pony alone. You have me. You have Spitfire, Soarin, Fire and Lightning Dust. Everyone here for you Rainbow.

Rainbow saw how Fleetfoot extended a helmet towards her with a smile on her face. Inside his chest, a warm sensation spread and seemed to give a boost to all his spirit. Knowing that she had friends to help her this time gave her the courage to face this pony again. In addition, knowing that she left Ponyville out of fear before, she was determined not to leave her friends for the second time. Extending his helmet, he returned the hoof blow to Fleetfoot with a smile. "Let's do it."

Luna was on the dead form of Kakazu, his body lying on the earth. The masks next to him lay shattered on the ground along with the mass of strands of tendrils that were torn from their shape from the explosion that she had released. Despite knowing that he was a cold-blooded murderer, Luna still felt the guilt of taking the life of another ponies.

Looking back, he saw how his battalion helped the solar guards who were too injured to move on their own, including Shining Armor. A few of his own and the day guards like Neon and Blitz had the task of collecting the bodies of the fallen guards. Having died in the battle for the sake of Equestria, Luna demanded that they be returned to the castle and that they be given honorary burials. No soldier was left behind. "Q-who... are you?" A gurgling voice asked.

Luna turned in shock when she saw Kakazu looking at her. He was surprised to see him still alive after that attack! However, he noticed the dull look in his eyes and the laborious elevation of his chest up and down. Due to his condition, he assumed that he had one minute left to live.

"I see that you survived that explosion of mine. I'm surprised by that. Almost no unicorn could counter that blow, much less an earthly pony."

Kakazu glared at her as she struggled to take her last breaths. "How did you defeat me? I can say that you didn't even use all your strength. *sigh* Where did you get that power from?"

"If I want to know, I'll tell you. My name is Luna, the princess of the night. The powers that princesses possess are far beyond those that normal ponies have. That question has been answered, now I will ask another one. Who are you and what is the reason for your attack on the guards? And what is your group right with the Discord creature? "

A low laugh escaped from Kakazu's mouth, "I have no idea you're talking to this creature, I don't know anything about it. If you want to know why we had a conflict with those pathetic soldiers, it's because they got in our way."

"Your attack may have eliminated several guards, but you have also ended up dead." Luna sneered.

"You may have defeated me, but you won't stop us. *Breathed* in fact, I am one of the weakest. He he he."

"Are there... are there other stronger ones?" Luna asked hesitantly.

"Much, much stronger." Kakazu smiled as his head fell to the ground for the last time. His breathing stopped completely a moment later.

He had finally died.

Luna stood still for a moment while assimilating the warning she received. However, her fear lasted shortly before she remained proud. "Then I'll kill them too."

Leaving the deceased member of akatsuki on the ground, the princess turned around and went back to the group of guards day and night while they picked up what they had to do. On one side, Lightning Flash sat quietly next to Rain's body, using one of his helmets to close the eyes of his deceased friend. Luna approached the sad unicorn and placed a wing on his back. "I'm sorry for your loss. He fought bravely against these monsters."

That moment didn't last long because of the other member of Akatsuki that was left.

"HA, HA, HA! That little shit deserved to die!"

The fire inside Lightning broke out when he heard those words behind him. Turning his body, he confronted Hidan, who at that time was being held by three lunar guards. On his face there was a wide smile addressed to the unicorn. "It was a great sacrifice for my Mr. Jashin. That little bastard suffered a lot, I can assure you!" The crazed pony laughed at his own fun.

Luna had to contain Lightning Flash with his magic to prevent him from running and trying to kill Hidan. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" The enraged unicorn screamed as he waved against the blue aura that surrounded him. When he finally realized that it was useless, he finally collapsed on the floor, several sobs escaped from his throat.

Hidan laughed when he saw the pony's despair in front of him, "It's wonderful to see you like this. What if once I get out of here, I kill you too so you can be with your friend? Does it sound good to you?"

Luna glared at the Akatsuki member. "Make sure he doesn't escape those restrictions. I want you to tell us everything about this group that threatens our home."

Blaze opened his mouth to say something, but when he looked beyond behind the princess, he lost the thread of his thoughts about what he was going to say when he saw the figure walking towards them. "No..."

Deidara flew through the city, spitting bird bombs and sending them to the sides of any nearby structure to make them detonate. He laughed to himself at the ponies fleeing under him as they tried to evade him. "That's a weak attempt by all of you." He said aloud as he put his helmets together to form hundreds of small round insect bombs. Releasing them, he saw how the small bombs created a massive trail of explosions through the streets, getting closer and closer to the ponies. "Heh, heh, heh, now, how about I try one of my special techniques of-"

The sudden impact of his left made him stumble for a few moments in the air before regaining the composure of his flight pattern. With contempt, he turned around to see two pegasus in blue uniforms floating together, looking at him through his glasses.

Looking around him, he saw several others flying towards him in similar outfits. "So, do you want to challenge me? A silly decision of all of you. Hmm"

On the ground next to the front wall of the city, two unicorns and a pegasus guard were trying to find out what was happening. "What was that explosion on the wall a second ago?" Pegasus asked.

One of the unicorns shook his head, "I don't know, we were there and things began to happen with...

The section of the wall next to them suddenly exploded, throwing the three ponies and pieces of debris through the air. When the smoke dissipated, a single unicorn in a black robe with red clouds entered through the huge hole and entered Canterlot.

The stallion's eyes looked back and forth between the guards as they rose from the rubble "Where is the beast Discord?" He demanded the pony.

Pegasus' guard shook off the dirt before looking at the intruder. "Who are you supposed to be?" He shouted. However, the next moment he felt a kind of strange force that pushed him forward. While trying to resist, Pain took a black stick out of his sleeve and pierced the pony's chest with it, killing him instantly.

The two remaining unicorns watched with horror how their companion on duty was thrown aside by this strange pony. "Who-who are you?" One of them asked tremblingly.

Pain looked at them without emotion on his face as he lifted a helmet in his direction. "I'm Pain. I am God." The shock wave ran out, hitting the two stunned unicorns with the force of a locomotive, throwing them through the wall of a nearby building. "Now, this world will know the pain."

Luna looked at the pony that was approaching with caution, placing himself between the newcomer and the guards. Since he wore the same black robe, I knew that he was an ally of Hidan and Kakuzu. "Is this the one you met before?" He asked Blitz and Blaze.

Blitz nodded in his direction. "Yes. He is one of the two who attacked Ponyville.

Voltaandoce, Luna looked at the incoming member of Akatsuki. "I'll give you a warning; give up now or you'll end up like the other."

The dark gray pony stopped walking and opened his eyes, revealing his blood-red Sharingan. "I wouldn't become arrogant if I were you..." Itachi said, "You wouldn't like to see what I'm capable of."
