#four heroes make a rainbow

[waterspoutskies]

Hcs for the types of socks the colors wear?

*sigh* Ok, so. For the unaware, I'm on a discord call with Ruby, and I was complaining about not finding something in my inbox.

And I meant my school email inbox. And Ruby was like "lol tumblr" and sent me this.

ANYWAY.

I'm gonna do this for Guardian Wars AU! Cause I think that's more fun. And following true to some of my headcanons for this, you're going to accidentally learn more than you bargained for. In the Guardian Wars AU, Four is present as the Colors as opposed to being one person because we wanted more characters. Am sorry to singular Four (because we did consider it both ways, and discussed it for a while!), we just wanted more people to cause chaos with.

Green - Mostly wears performance wicking ankle socks, sometimes compression ones instead depending on the day. As long as they match he's good to go, but he's got a variety of colors! And while not socks, he does have a pair of compression sleeves for preventative and treatment for shin splints! They're black because the only green for the sleeves was an ugly olive green.

Blue - He just has a dozen pairs of the same black and white ankle socks. Maybe he gets wild sometimes and has a few gray socks. Honestly there's probably more than a dozen pairs, but he doesn't keep track of it whatsoever. True teenage male closet right here. (He has a few secret pairs of warm fuzzy socks that Red gives him for winter!)

Red - Red wears fun socks! Like the mid calf... Uh crew cut I think it's called? ones, often with fun designs and patterns, or with art on them, or fuzzy socks! He and Legend trade notes on where to get cool art print socks, and it's his little joke to always get his family socks for the holidays.

Vio - Do you think this idiot has time to do something as mundane as match his socks? No. He just has a dozen pack of the basic Hanes socks, and he puts on whatever the first two he grabs are. Vio's more likely to wear boots than the other three so he has some longer/heavier ones too, but it's still a miracle if they match.

Bonus Round: Shadow - Shadow has lots of patterned socks, some of which are from Red! Though they're usually in darker colors. Also, Shadow possesses a considerable number of the grippy double sided non slip socks, like the medical ones. These are also colorful, and he has them for reasons.

There we go, Ruby. Sock headcanons just for you. Also, fuck you.

Field Trip-DCxDP prompt

(Another Danny the Cosmic Babysitter pompt)

Danny had little patience for the adult heroes with a handful of exceptions. That is most of the heroes are fine but Danny likes to complain because he isn't called to be on missions often.

Instead, he often gets calls on Friday nights to watch Superboy and that means Robin comes too.

Danny is their favorite babysitter and the only people Danny doesn't complain about. He treats the boys with as much care as he does his little sister but he is also pretty negligent. If the boys were unharmed and not traumatized then he lets them do whatever they want. Much to their father's concern.

The boys were dropped off at Danny's portal after school with their bags and Clark gave Danny one of his mother's cheese apple pies and a batch of Alfred's cookies.

Clark wished them luck and reminded them to do their homework and to be respectful to Danny.

Bruce called and reminded Danny to....blah blah blah. Danny wasn't listening he was a busy god.

Danny instead took the boys on a field trip when Jon asked for help on his science homework.

Danny took them to his observatory and showed them just a fraction of the infinite cosmos. The observatory was a place he made to monitor the realms, tracking the path of stars and galaxies, and the life on planets.

"So how does life form on different planets?" Jon asked staring into the rainbow-colored galaxy twisting around them.

"Let's go see!" Danny opened a portal to a far-off desolate world under a purple sun making sure to put a protective barrier on the boys so they would survive the environment.

"Are suns supposed to be that color?" Damian asked.

"They can be any color," Danny said reassuring "Large amounts of potassium salts cause the star to look this way."

The boys looked around on this planet hoping to see new aliens. But there were none. Danny laughed at their puzzled expressions.

"This planet has no life on it. In 5 billion years the right conditions will be met to form organic life when this star burns enough of the potassium around it. Frozen ice in asteroids will hit this planet and water will form and the heat will create an atmosphere. Organisms will form and die and for a brief moment, this world will have life." Danny explained laying out the beginning of life.

"What? So they won't live? Why not?" Jon asked in distress of the idea.

"Haha, don't worry. That's how it's supposed to be. Life is a miraculous thing and the beings that will one day grow here are one of the billions of planets that share the same fate. They will never gain sentience of course but they will live and living in a universe so fickle and absurd is a testament. Think of just how amazingly it is to live on earth." Danny said taking the boys into another portal to a world populated by beasts.

Alien beasts that walked on four legs and birds flew.

Damian marveled at the giant birds that dwarfed any on Earth.

"This is a super planet with enough oxygen to support 50 Earths. Full of life and animals who have evolved from the small bacteria that would have died like on the planet before had the environment been different. Life is a roulette wheel though and even the same environment could yield different results." Danny said as they stood on the grassy clift.

"There really are no people?" Damian asked.

"No, and there never will be. You two are the only people who will ever reach this planet. This world will never know society. No government. No civilization." Danny hummed in thought.

"That's a good thing." Damian said.

"Is it? Maybe. Even a lowly beast still looks up at the sky and dreams of a better existence. But here this world will never know a truly peaceful life. It will always be predator and prey. Survival is all they know. No, they will mostly live short lives knowing only fear and violence. They will not know art or music, things gained from learning and sharing. They have not reached that part of development and they never will know. An ice age will soon come when their planet loses its orbit and they will all die." Danny said as he ushered the boys to another world.

Jon and Damian when silent in despair. Learning the benign cruelty of the universe was harder when you had to see it.

The next was a world that was a smoking wreckage.

"This world was once populated with billions. The people had evolved from the smallest life forms, surpassed their beastly heritage, and grew into tribes. They built cities and hubs. But they also built weapons. The truth is boys that the progress of a species hinges on the ability to evolve and the greatest driving force is competition. The greatest opponent is yourself. These people chose to give in to that call and they suffered for it. Some turned towards the stars and had long fled to start a new life on another planet." Danny said soberly.

Damian and Jon looked at the space god and noticed he suddenly didn't look like his usual self. He was slightly weathered and creased at the edges.

Danny opened another portal to another world. A city full of lights where below them.

"This boys is a planet of strange aliens. They dream constantly of a better life but don't know how to achieve it. They work together and they break apart, always arguing. But time and time again they come together to prove they care for one another. True there will be those who work against this collective and care only for themselves. Take pity on them, they have succumbed to their instincts from when they were just simple beasts trying to survive. If they can one day look up and see that all they have in this lonely universe where life can be blinked out of existence if the tide shifts differently then they'd truly become a better species. Boys you must understand that your existence is nothing short of a miracle upon miracle. We are all made from stardust and it is next to impossible that you exist at this moment but despite all odds you are here." Danny said as he flew over the city carrying the boys.

As Damian and Jon looked down they recognized landmarks this was earth.

"Will the same thing happen to us as that other planet?" Jon asked.

"I don't know. You mortals tend to surprise us. I can probably predict a billion futures and still be wrong. I'll have to ask the time god. Still, there is no telling what I do know is that the future will have you two and that tells me that it's going to be okay.

I saw a comment about how Colin will be furious with Pen when he discovers she is Whistledown, because of Mariana. He will be mad she ruined Mariana’s life.

Let’s talk about that and break it down. And I know I’m going to piss some folks off with this take but meh.

Mariana tried to trap Colin. Plain and simple. She wanted a husband for her unborn baby, but whether she admitted it or not, she wanted a handsome and well-heeled husband. Enter Colin. Sweet snowflake Colin. Mariana lied, manipulated, and entrapped Colin. She tried to get him to sleep with her in order to cover up the baby. Mariana was self-serving, which she needed to be in the situation. But not some wilted flower of sunshine and rainbows who Pen crushed with a rock.

Also she was incredibly cruel to Pen. She was kind in many ways but she was cruel when she basically told her that she’d never get a man like Colin. The underlying “you’re fat and plain” subtext in Mariana’s comments to Pen is there.

Pen did what she did because she loves Colin but because Mariana also hurt her badly.

Don’t get me wrong, Pen is not a victim. She writes as Whistledown as a way to express herself, to be SEEN by the Ton, and to basically get back at those who have wronged her and those she loves. But she didn’t ruin Mariana’s life. Mariana ended up safely married to a well-heeled man who will give her comfort and security for the child, ultimately what she wanted in the end anyway.

Yes, Colin is going to be angry. VERY angry. At first. But I think Colin is not going to be as surprised by the news as some folks anticipate. Pen sort of dropped a clue, inadvertently, in their first kiss scene. She says Whistledown had to write about them, “it would be suspicious if she did not”

The word suspicious is the clue. And look at Colin’s face when he hears that. He catches the word and it confuses him, gets his brain whirling BUT then Pen makes him feral with her request and all the blood rushes from his brain to his southern hemisphere.

I think the anger we will see will be short lived. It will be a serious argument and scene but it’s not going to take four episodes to resolve. I also think that anger might fuel the “we break some furniture” scene Luke and Nicola keep teasing. Why do I think that? I’m glad you asked.

In romance novels, we use the trope of the hero and heroine so angry with each other that it fuels the passion. The rage morphs into passion and the main couple ends up ripping each other’s clothes off in a frenzy. I call it the “I’m so angry with you I can’t see straight but I need you naked and writhing beneath me NOW!” Moment. I think we’re going to see that somewhere and the Whistledown reveal scene would be one place that would fit it perfectly. Go feral Polin.

Thanks for staying around for more of my ramblings, if you made it this far.

I’m thinking of doing some analysis of scenes in season 3, like I did when I was on my Jonsa bullshit for GoT. But who knows.

[sleepingdayaway]

You were a wonderful experience.

Characters: Warriors, Wind, Hyrule, Wild, Time, Twilight, Legend, Four, Sky. Dark Link (mentioned)

Fast paced since I'm writing this at night and running on vibes only. I'm so sorry if it's terrible.

The soft sound of in sync breathing can be heard amongst the buzz of insects that's around them. The group of Hyrule's heroes silently stare ahead in shock as they take in the object that it ahead of them. Glimmering rainbow light emerges from the portal as it hovers slightly above the ground. Emitting an aura of something from out of this world; it's a bit intense than what the group is used to.

A shaky exhale escapes from the one, who's this portal is meant for. Your vision blurs as tears threaten to escape. The realization that you might finally be able to return home. After all this time and suffering.

Hesitantly you take a step forward towards the portal. It was so close. Just a few more feet and you'll be able to go back to everything that you left behind.

But of course. He can never make it that easy, now can he?

As if the world knew of your hope. The surrounding area suddenly rolled in a blanket of twilight. A dark misty fog began to form right in front of the portal. It begins to form a familiar figure of that damn monster that forcefully dragged you into this world.

With no hesitation in their stance; the group of heroes quickly began to try and put some distance between you and the shadow. But their efforts were in vain when multiple rushed footsteps was heard and a variety of monsters appeared.

Legend immediately went back to back with Four as the both of them decided to tackle with the green Bokoblins from Twilight's home. Meanwhile Twilight and Wild are side by side dealing with a Lizalfos from the Time's Hyrule. Those fucking things are agile as hell.

Sky and Wind are currently facing one of the Wizzrobes from the Great Sea. In which normally, the sailor would be delighted to deal with one of them but under these circumstances it was in the way. Hyrule is closer to Time as he fights off a few Skulltula's; Warriors is right next to him assisting so he won't get overwhelmed.

Time, assessing the situation at hand, placed himself in one of the hardest decisions he has done so far in their entire journey. Face their entire focus on the monsters, so that they could deal with the Shadow head on but they would leave you vulnerable. Or assist you and deal with the Shadow, but it would be overwhelming with the monsters.

Having one of the boys to work with you could give a higher chance of surviving, but taking count of all the monsters that are currently surround them. It would be impossible.

The Shadow made sure that no matter what decision Time made, you'll still be at risk.

For once, throughout the entire time he has been traveling. Did his face betray him, and an emotion of fear crossed his scarred face. There was no way was Time willing to lose you again. He just got you back.

He was pulled from his thoughts when the sword of a Stalfos swung at him. With a quick slash from his own blade caused the skeleton to drop to the ground. Either way Time made his choice.

"There isn't much time! [Name] hurr-"

"You all better stay the fuck there!"

Your voice echoed across the area. It was filled with such hate and desperation as you stared down the one who chased you across lands. It's sinister smirk haunting you as it doesn't move an inch. Appearing to enjoy this little staring contest.

Every single one of them flinched at the sound of your voice. They all desperately long to be by your side, and make sure no harm comes to you. But with that tone in your voice made them stay in place.

They all decided to listen to you, and leave you to your own devices.

Time digs his teeth into his lips before closing his eyes for a moment. He steadies his weapon and faces a different target, "Well, you heard them! We continue fighting and provide back up." He takes a another swing at the incoming monsters, "We leave the Shadow to them!"

It's over.

You hold the sword in your hand. The one Four made for you earlier on in your journey when you were barely being taught how to wield one properly. It was one of your most prized possessions.

Dark Link has returned to its place among the shadows. Your hand is shaking as you stare down where he once stood. Red eyes, burning with hatred as he cursed you out.

Your body fails you halfway into your thoughts as you collapse on the grass. Immediately the boys are beside you; Hyrule being the first one to reach you. Taking care of your external injuries first and foremost, but it seemed that you were heavily exhausted since you just leaned on him.

Warriors is there next, as he gently held you, so that Hyrule could work properly. The rest of the Chain are trying to patch each other up; they didn't mind with you being the main priority.

After some time has passed that allowed for the entire group to recover, did everyone finally acknowledge the portal once more.

Everyone knew that this portal wasn't for them. It had a much more powerful presence, and an unbearable pressure. Almost as if it was trying to push away the heroes, but for you?

It was if it was calling for you. As if it knew that you didn't belong here; a call for you, that it was time for you to return home.

With trembling legs did you stand up, and remove yourself from Hyrule and Warriors. Taking simple steps towards the unworldly portal, as it pulses like a faint heartbeat.

Immediately the boys tried to reach for you when they realized where you were going, but the pressure emitting from the portal was too strong. They collapsed a few feet away from you; from behind Wind perks up and follows after but he too suffered from the same thing.

Twilight comes after but only with the goal of gathering the boys, and bringing them back. He knew that he wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure and he despises that. Wanting desperately to grab you too.

Sky appears besides him and grabs Wind with Legend coming from behind to help Warriors. Time is silent as he watches the entire thing, a feeling of dread coils in him. Four is beside him holding onto Wild, who's moving and thrashing around trying to get to you.

Until everything stops.

The surrounding area disappears and they have appeared in a familiar place.

Instead of the luscious green forest with the varying wildlife. They are now in the place that brought the group of heroes to their destiny. A chamber of tall walls with a high ceiling; with only one window that has sunlight shinning down on them.

Time immediately recognized this place, and for a moment his heart drops to his stomach.

You stand before the portal. Tall and unwavering as you brought a hand out to reach towards it. It was finally time for you to leave. It pulses as if sensing you nearby as something shoots out from within.

Turning your head to look back at your heroes did it all came crashing down on you. In an instant all of the dialog that you practiced in your head for this moment, disappeared.

All you could do was stare at them as they struggled to comprehend that this was really it.

Until finally did you muster up the courage to give them a loving smile. The tears that were building up from your eyes freely fell. Only a sentence echoed in your head. Those would be your final words. Focusing on them as you walked back into the portal. Your eyes never once leaving them.

"You were a wonderful experience."

A hushed silence fell on the group. As they watched helplessly, unable to fight for you. When you looked back at them all they could think of was how relaxed you looked.

Gone was the bright blue color of the sheikah energy that combined with you from the beginning of this journey. They all forgot how human and alive you looked before all this started.

Now you're safe.

No longer burdened with the fear of being stuck here.

They did their duty.

But they just got you back. It wasn't fair.

'You were, everything'

[mcntsee]

I will always protect you.

Summary: One promise, and three times Kaz kept it.

Warnings: Mentions of child abuse, mentions of alcoholism, mention of alcoholic tendencies, underage drinking. Bruises, blood, stabbing, violence. Usual SOC stuff. And a little bit of ooc kaz.

Notes: Their ages go; first, 4 and 5, then, 13 and 14, after that, 15 and 16, and lastly 18 and 19. With Kaz being the oldest of the two. Also, I don’t know how little kids talk, so I tried to express their age more with actions.

THE PROMISE:

Kaz Brekker, a mischievous five-year-old boy with jet-black hair and sharp blue eyes, found himself running through the bustling streets of Lij. He was on his way to buy candy from his favorite stall when, by chance, he collided with a four-year-old girl. She had bright, curious eyes and a mischievous grin of her own.

"Oof! Sorry," Kaz muttered, rubbing his arm where he bumped into Y/N. The girl giggled and brushed herself off. "It's okay. Are you hurt?"

"Nah, I'm tough," Kaz replied, puffing out his chest. "What's your name?"

"I'm Y/N," she replied with a small curtsy. "What's yours?"

"Kaz," he answered, a sly smile forming on his lips. "You wanna come with me? I'm going to buy some candy." Y/N's eyes widened with excitement. "Yes, please! I love candy!"

Hand in hand, they ventured through the vibrant market, their laughter echoing through the air. They marveled at the colorful stalls, the fragrant spices, and the musicians playing lively tunes.

"Look, Y/N, that stall has lollipops!" Kaz pointed, pulling her toward a display of rainbow-colored sweets.

Y/N's eyes sparkled as she picked a blue lolly. "You think we can eat them all?" To the question, Kaz grinned mischievously. "Duh!"

They spent the day running from one stall to another, devouring candy and experiencing the wonders of Lij. They laughed, spun in circles, and created their own little adventures.

As the sun began to set, Kaz and Y/N found themselves sitting on a park bench, exhausted and with a tummy ache but happy.

"Y/N, I think you're my best friend," Kaz said, leaning against her shoulder. Y/N smiled warmly. "And you mine, Kaz. Forever."

After their delightful day in Lij, Kaz and Y/N couldn't bear the thought of being apart. They made a pact to meet at the same spot where they had bumped into each other every single day. And true to their word, they showed up without fail, ready for more adventures.

Their daily escapades were filled with laughter and endless games. They chased each other through the winding streets, played hide-and-seek among the market stalls, and invented new imaginary worlds where they were heroes saving the day.

Sometimes, Kaz would take Y/N to his family's farm on the outskirts of town. With excitement bubbling inside, Y/N met Kaz's older brother, Jordie, who always had a playful smirk on his face. And there was Kaz's father, a strong and kind man who welcomed Y/N with open arms.

Together, the duo explored the vast fields, chasing butterflies, and picking wildflowers. Kaz and Y/N would compete to see who could climb the tallest tree, giggling with delight at their friendly rivalry. They would visit the animals, feeding the chickens and petting the gentle horses.

As time passed, their bond grew stronger, and their adventures became even more extraordinary. They braved make-believe battles against fearsome dragons, crafted secret hideouts with blankets and pillows, and dreamed of grand expeditions to faraway lands.

One sunny afternoon, as Kaz and Y/N sat on their favorite park bench with nothing better to do, Kaz turned to her with a curious expression. "Y/N, can I come to your house today? I want to see where you live."

Y/N hesitated for a moment before shaking her head gently. "I'm sorry, Kaz. Maybe another time."

Kaz furrowed his brow, not entirely understanding why Y/N didn't want him to visit her home. "Awe, but why not?"

Y/N glanced down, her voice softening. "It's just- my da... he can be a little mean sometimes."

Kaz tilted his head, still not comprehending the depth of the situation. "What do you mean, mean? Like he doesn't let you have candy?"

Y/N's eyes filled with a mix of sadness and fear. "Sort of, yeah- it's hard to explain."

Kaz could sense Y/N's discomfort, and he didn't want to press her further if it made her uneasy. He reached out and squeezed her hand gently. "It's okay, maybe some other day?"

Y/N's expression softened, grateful for Kaz's understanding. She gave him a small smile and leaned against his shoulder. "Maybe."

Kaz smiled back, reassuring her with his presence. He knew that sometimes people had difficulties, and what mattered most was supporting each other through it all, even if Y/N's home remained a mystery to Kaz for the time being.

After a while of some more talking, y/n glanced at her old pocket watch, eye’s widening when she saw the time. “Uh oh. I need to go Kaz.” hurriedly, she stood up from her previous spot, putting her watch back in its place. While she ran as fast as her little legs could, she heard her name being called by Kaz “See you tomorrow?” Without stopping or looking back she yelled “Duh!” and just like that, she was out of Kaz’s sight.

The following day, Kaz waited in their usual meeting spot for hours, but Y/N never showed up. Feeling a mix of disappointment, he eventually headed home to find his older brother Jordie.

“Jordie, something’s wrong,” Kaz exclaimed as he entered the house. “Y/N didn’t come today. I think she doesn’t want to be friends anymore.”

Jordie chuckled softly, trying to ease Kaz’s concerns. “Come on, Kaz. Y/N wouldn’t just ditch you like that. Maybe she had something important to do.”

Kaz sighed, still uncertain. “But she always keeps her promises. I think it’s because I asked to go to her house. Maybe I pushed too much.”

Jordie’s expression shifted, a hint of unease crossing his face. “What did she say, Kaz? Why couldn’t you go to her house?”

Kaz shrugged, oblivious to Jordie’s uneasiness. “Y/N just said her da is not very nice sometimes.” Jordie’s eyes narrowed slightly, concern deepening. “She even mentioned he doesn’t let her have candy! Can you believe that?” Jordie listened attentively to Kaz’s concerns, his worry growing with each word. He understood the weight of Kaz’s words about Y/N’s father but decided not to mention it directly to Kaz, wanting to shield him from unnecessary distress.

“Kaz, I understand that you’re worried,” Jordie said with a reassuring smile. “But trust me, Y/N is still your best friend. Sometimes things come up, and she might have had something important to take care of. Don’t jump to conclusions just yet.”

Kaz nodded, albeit still a bit unconvinced. “I guess you’re right, Jordie. I just miss her, that’s all.” Jordie gave Kaz a kind smile and patted his back lovingly “Also, you’re not supposed to be eating candy either, mister.”

One day turned into three, and although Jordie kept his worries about Y/N’s situation to himself, he couldn’t shake off the unease. He watched Kaz’s hopeful eyes and felt a sense of responsibility to protect his little brother’s innocence.

Days after, as Kaz sat at their usual meeting spot, the weight of worry had settled upon him. But this time, his anticipation shifted into sheer surprise as Y/N appeared, offering an apologetic smile.

Kaz’s eyes widened as he saw Y/N approaching, and he jumped up with excitement. “Y/N! You’re here! I missed you so much! Where have you been?”

Y/N’s smile flickered, and she looked down sheepishly. “Sorry, Kaz. I had important stuff to do. But I’m done now and I brought you a lolly!”

Kaz’s joy quickly turned to concern as he noticed the bruises on Y/N’s face and body. He furrowed his brow and asked, “What happened? You fall down?”

Y/N’s eyes filled with tears, and she shook her head. “I’m not really allowed to talk about it.”

Kaz’s protective instincts kicked in, and he thought for a moment. “Well, my da is really good at fixing things. Maybe he can help you. Would you like that?” Y/N hesitated but nodded.

Hand in hand, Kaz and Y/N made their way to Kaz’s farm, a sense of determination guiding Kaz’s steps. They arrived at the farm, and Kaz’s father greeted them warmly.

“Da, Y/N has some little cuts and bruises,” Kaz explained, concern evident in his voice. “Can you help?”

Kaz’s father knelt down, examining Y/N’s injuries with a gentle touch. “What happened?” he questioned hoping for an answer, sadly, he got the same response as Kaz. “I’m not allowed to talk about it.”

Once Kaz’s father finished cleaning up Y/N’s wounds, he sat down with a concerned expression on his face. “Honey, I understand that you can’t talk about it, but I want you to know that you’re safe here. No one will find out, and Kaz and I will keep this as our secret. Won’t we, Kaz?” The boy eagerly nodded.

Y/N hesitated, looking at Kaz’s dad with a mix of uncertainty and vulnerability. Slowly, she mustered the courage to speak. “My ma and da are both sick.”

Kaz’s dad nodded, encouraging her to continue. “Can you tell me more about it, Y/N?”

Y/N took a deep breath, her voice trembling. “Sometimes… sometimes they talk really weird, and they walk funny.” She paused for a second to look at Kaz’s confused face. “They sleep a lot too.”

Kaz’s dad’s face softened with understanding. “They’re alcoholics?”

Y/N looked puzzled, not fully comprehending the question being made. Kaz’s dad continued, trying his best to explain in a way that a young child could understand. “Sometimes, some people enjoy something that’s not good for them, like drinking too much alcohol. It can make them act differently and cause them to hurt themselves and others.”

Y/N’s eyes widened, realizing that Kaz’s dad understood the situation better than she expected. Encouraged by his empathy, she opened up a little more. “My da is really mean to me sometimes.”

Kaz’s dad’s expression turned solemn, and he pulled Y/N into a comforting hug. “I’m so sorry to hear that, Y/N. No one should ever be mean to you. You’re a kind and wonderful girl.”

Y/N fought back tears, feeling the warmth of Kaz’s dad’s embrace and the reassurance in his words. As he wiped away her tears, he gently asked, “Would you like to have a sleepover here tonight?”

At first, Y/N hesitated, worried about the potential consequences. “I should be on my way home before my dad gets angry at me.” she whispered.

Kaz’s dad gently took her hand and looked into her eyes with kindness. “You don’t have to worry about that here. I’ll talk to him, how’s that sound?”

Slowly, she nodded, finally letting herself accept the care and compassion offered to her. “Okay, I’ll stay.”

Kaz was thrilled to have Y/N stay for a sleepover, knowing they would get to spend more time together than ever before. He took her hand and led her up to his room, eager to show her all his new toys.

Hours passed as they laughed, played, and let their imaginations run wild. Kaz's room became a world of adventure, filled with shared stories and cherished moments.

But as the evening grew late, Kaz remembered he needed to say goodnight to his dad and Jordie. He quietly made his way downstairs, hoping to bid them farewell before returning to his room with Y/N. Just as he was about to reach the main living area, he overheard his father and Jordie having a conversation in hushed tones.

Curiosity got the better of him, and Kaz leaned closer, eavesdropping on their words. His heart sinking as he heard his da say, "Her father hits her."

Shock and anger coursed through Kaz's young veins. He couldn't fathom why someone would hurt Y/N, his dear friend. Without hesitation, he quickly said goodnight to his father and Jordie, a mix of determination and concern etched on his face.

Hurrying back to his room, he found Y/N, already lying down in her makeshift bed, waiting for him. He approached her gently, placing a tender kiss on her forehead. “I will always protect you, Y/n.”

FIRST TIME:

Recently, Kaz had suffered a broken leg, rendering him immobile and dependent on Y/N’s support. Determined to alleviate their hunger, Y/N made a solemn promise. “Don’t worry, Kaz. I’ll find us food. Your job is to rest and heal.”

With a sense of purpose, Y/N embarked on a risky endeavor to steal from those they deemed as “rich assholes.” It was a desperate act born out of necessity, driven by the dire circumstances they found themselves in. Little did Y/N know that Kaz, the restless boy he always was, had decided to secretly follow her.

Kaz hobbled along with a mixture of determination and worry. He understood the risks involved, but his loyalty and protective nature urged him to be by Y/N’s side. He remained hidden, his eyes fixed on his friend’s movements, marveling at her agility and resourcefulness.

Y/N, driven by desperation, resorted to pickpocketing in an attempt to secure food for both her and Kaz. If she was lucky, she could get more money than she would by working for the dregs for a week. She managed to successfully lift money from three unsuspecting individuals, but on her fourth attempt, her lack of experience betrayed her. The merchant she targeted noticed her actions and seized her wrist forcefully, yanking her forward while unleashing a torrent of anger.

“You little thief! Trying to steal from me, huh?” Y/N struggled to break free, her heart pounding in her chest. However, the merchant’s grip only tightened, preventing her escape. “I won’t let you get away with it!” Fear gripped her, and tears welled up in her eyes as she braced herself for the consequences of her actions.

Just as the merchant leaned in, ready to strike, Kaz, fueled by a surge of protective instinct, launched himself at the man, tackling him to the ground even though the pain in his leg was killing him.

“Leave her alone! Don’t you dare touch her!” The sudden attack caught the merchant off guard, giving Y/N a precious moment to pull away from his grasp. She stumbled backward, tears streaming down her face, but relief washed over her as Kaz shielded her from harm.

Kaz stood defiantly, his eyes blazing with determination. He wouldn’t allow anyone to harm Y/N, not while he was there to protect her. “You better stay away from us, or else you’ll regret it!” With that warning, Kaz extended a hand to Y/N, offering her support. She grasped his hand, her fingers trembling, and together they quickly retreated from the scene, their hearts pounding with a mix of fear and relief.

With their stomachs growling, Kaz and Y/N made their way to the bakery. Y/N’s heart raced, but luck was on their side for what seemed to be the first time in a long while. The stolen money she had managed to gather before getting caught was just enough to buy a loaf of bread, some meat, and cheese for Kaz.

As they walked back to their dilapidated “home,” a sense of relief washed over them. Amidst the worn-down buildings and bustling streets, Y/N’s eyes caught sight of a discarded cane. Acting swiftly, she snatched it, ensuring no one would notice its absence.

As Y/N handed the cane to Kaz, a mischievous glint danced in her eyes. Kaz accepted it with gratitude, but when he instinctively positioned it on the wrong side, Y/N couldn’t help but giggle.

“No, silly,” Y/N chuckled, gently correcting him. “The cane goes on the hand opposite the side that needs support.”

Kaz’s brows furrowed, momentarily perplexed, but he quickly adjusted the cane to the correct side, a sheepish smile forming on his face. “Oh yeah, that’s way better.”

“Thanks for saving my ass back there, Kaz” Struggling to match his steps with the cane, Kaz looked at her, “I will always protect you, Y/N,” he replied, his voice filled with sincerity.

SECOND TIME:

As Y/N turned 15 and Kaz reached 16, their lives continued to be a challenging dance with fate. However, a troubling change began to surface in Y/N’s behavior. Kaz noticed that she was increasingly reliant on alcohol, far beyond their occasional shared glass after a long day at Fifth Harbor.

It became apparent to Kaz that he rarely saw Y/N completely sober. Though she fluctuated between tipsy and heavily intoxicated, the presence of sobriety seemed to elude her. Concern etched across Kaz’s face as he observed the toll alcohol was taking on his dear friend.

He approached her room, where y/n was nursing a drink, and gently voiced his concerns. “You’ve been drinking a lot lately.” Y/n, defensive and caught off guard, shrugged it off with a dismissive tone. “Pff, come on, Kaz, ‘m just having fun. What’s the big deal?”

Kaz’s expression grew serious as he responded, “It’s not just about having fun anymore, y/n. It’s becoming a problem. Both your parents were alcoholics, and that makes it more likely for you to become one too.” He didn’t intend to bring back ugly memories, he just wanted Y/n back. His Y/n.

“Oh, so now you think ‘m like the asshole of a father I had? ‘s that what you’re saying?” But alas, luck was never really on his side, was it? Kaz hurried to explain, “No, y/n, that’s not what I meant. I’m just worried-“ But y/n was too defensive to listen. Her voice rose, and she interrupted him, “Just leave me alone, Kaz!”

Frustration built up within Kaz as he struggled to make his point. “I’m trying to help you, y/n! Can’t you see that?“

“I don’t need your help!

Their voices grew louder as the argument intensified. Hurtful words were exchanged, both knowing deep down that they didn’t mean them. In the heat of the moment, y/n’s drunken state led to a physical outburst - a push against Kaz. Stunned by the shove, Kaz felt a mix of anger and disappointment. He looked y/n in the eyes, his voice laced with bitterness. “Maybe you’re more like your father than you think.”

With those words hanging in the air, Kaz turned and walked out of y/n’s room, slamming the door behind him. The silence that followed was heavy with regret and realization.

Y/n, now alone, gradually started to comprehend the gravity of her actions. She felt a rush of memories flooding back - memories of her father’s destructive behavior and the pain it caused. The weight of her actions settled in, “Saints!”

Seeking clarity, y/n decided to take a cold shower, hoping it would sober her up both physically and mentally. As the cold water washed away the haze, she reflected on the hurtful things she had said and done. A couple of hours later, feeling completely sober, y/n mustered the courage to approach Kaz’s door.

Kaz opened the door, his face still wearing a frown, unsure of what to expect. Y/n took a deep breath and asked, “Can I come in?”

Hesitant, Kaz nodded and let y/n into his room. The atmosphere was tense, but y/n was determined to make amends. With a shaky voice, she spoke, “I’m completely sober now, Kaz.”

Kaz’s expression softened, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He nodded and replied, “Good.” Feeling the weight of her actions, y/n continued, “I never intended for it to go that far, Kaz” her voice filled with remorse. Kaz sighed and took a seat on his bed, ready to lend a listening ear. He understood that y/n needed to talk, to find a way to make sense of the chaos that had unfolded.

With a deep breath, y/n continued, “I don’t even know when it started or how it got to this point. The need for a drink just became so overwhelming, and I couldn’t seem to stop myself.”

Kaz listened attentively, his eyes fixed on y/n, offering support without judgment. They spent hours talking, unraveling the underlying reasons for y/n’s struggle with alcohol and exploring the pain and insecurities that fueled it.

As y/n poured out her heart, Kaz remained by her side, offering guidance and understanding. He didn’t have all the answers, but he knew the importance of being there for y/n during this difficult time. He could see the genuine remorse and determination in her eyes.

With a sense of gratitude, y/n said, “Thanks for always being there, Kaz.” Kaz’s gaze softened, and he replied sincerely, “I will always protect you, y/n.” He reached a shaky hand out to her, “Even if it is from yourself.”

THIRD TIME:

The crows and their stupid heists. Y/N and Kaz sat together in Kaz's office, surrounded by the other members of the crows. The air was filled with anticipation as they discussed their latest heist to steal a valuable pocket watch, rumored to be worth a fortune in Kruge. The details of how Kaz had stumbled upon this job remained a mystery to the crows, except for Y/N, who knew it came from a whisper Kaz had overheard in the bustling streets of Ketterdam.

The heist was no easy task, but it also didn't compare to the complexity of their other endeavors- like breaking Matthias out of the notorious Ice Court. This realization brought a sense of confidence to the group, as they knew they had faced greater challenges and emerged victorious. As the planning session drew to a close, the crows dispersed, leaving Y/N alone with Kaz.

Y/N took a seat opposite Kaz, her expression filled with concern. Kaz, ever the enigma, raised an eyebrow and prompted her to share what troubled her. With a deep breath, Y/N spoke up, voicing her worry about the people of Ketterdam and their reliability. She confessed her doubts about trusting anyone in this city, especially considering the clandestine nature of the whisper that led them to the heist.

Kaz couldn't help but let out an amused laugh, breaking the tension in the room. He understood Y/N's concerns all too well. After all, his experiences had taught him that trust was a rare and precious commodity in Ketterdam. But he also recognized the inherent irony in the situation—that the whisper, despite its uncertain source, had provided them with a valuable opportunity.

"You're right, Y/N," Kaz replied, a hint of amusement lacing his words. "People in Ketterdam are not worth trusting, or at least not easily. But this whisper most likely came from some drunk idiot who couldn't keep his mouth shut. We'll tread carefully, as always."

Y/N nodded, a sense of relief washing over her. She trusted Kaz. She always has. Knowing that his keen intuition and meticulous planning would guide them through the heist. “Are you sure you are ok with taking the pocket watch with you for a couple days until I figure out what to do with it?” With renewed assurance she nodded and they set their sights on the task at hand.

As the day turned into night, the crows meticulously executed their plan. Each member played their part flawlessly, their individual skills and unique abilities synergizing to overcome the obstacles in their path. Their heist was a masterclass in cunning and precision, culminating in the successful acquisition of the pocket watch. Little did they know, however, that their triumph held a secret yet to be discovered.

Unbeknownst to Kaz and Y/N, the whisper did not come from just any drunk idiot, it came from y/n’s father and the pocket watch they proudly took, concealed a hidden tracker. It had been planted there by Y/N's own father—a revelation that would soon shake their world.

After the celebration ended, Y/N bid her comrades farewell and made her way back to her apartment, yearning for a well-deserved rest. Fatigue hung heavily upon her, demanding solace in the form of warmth and comfort. She set about preparing herself a cup of tea, the steam from the kettle rising lazily in the air. While waiting she decided that she had enough time for a much needed quick shower.

Unbeknownst to Y/N, her father, driven by a sinister agenda, had stealthily infiltrated her sanctuary. Hidden in the shadows, he seized the opportunity presented by the teapot, meticulously applying a deadly poison to the water within. Satisfied with his clandestine act, he retreated to a darkened corner, waiting for his daughter to return.

Blissfully unaware of the peril lurking within her own abode, Y/N continued her routine, seeking solace in the embrace of a soothing shower. The cascading water served as a respite, washing away the weariness of the day. Refreshed and unaware of the impending danger, Y/N emerged from the bathroom and made her way to the small kitchen, intending to savor the warmth of her tea.

With unquestioning trust, Y/N raised the cup to her lips and drained its contents in a single gulp. A moment later, a chilling voice pierced the silence, causing her to startle. "You know, you ruined my life," the intruder uttered, the words dripping with venom. Y/N's heart pounded in her chest as she realized she was not alone.

Reacting swiftly, a mixture of fear and determination coursed through her veins. She instinctively reached for a kitchen knife, her trembling hand clutching the handle tightly. Slowly and cautiously, she advanced toward the shadowy figure, her senses heightened.

As the figure laughed, the sinister sound echoing in the confined space, they taunted Y/N with words that struck like daggers. "Kill me if you'd like. It won't make a difference, by the end of the night, we both will be dead, dear daughter," they proclaimed, their voice seeping with a sinister resolve.

Y/N's mind raced, grappling with a flood of emotions. Fear mingled with confusion, but beneath it all, a fierce determination flickered. With every step, she steeled herself, ready to confront the threat that now loomed before her. The room became a battlefield, a clash of wills between a daughter seeking to protect herself and the malevolent force that sought to extinguish her existence.

As Y/N launched herself forward, driven by a potent mix of rage and self-preservation, her hand gripped the kitchen knife with a determination that bordered on desperation. With a swift and deliberate motion, she aimed for her father's abdomen, piercing his flesh and eliciting a pained gasp. Yet, even in his moment of agony, he mustered a twisted laugh, taunting her with the knowledge that her own life was destined to be cut short because of him.

The realization of her impending fate weighed heavily upon Y/N as she watched her father's life slip away. With each fading breath, he served as a macabre reminder of the torment he had inflicted upon her. But despite the finality of his demise, Y/N's heart remained heavy, burdened by the understanding that her own days were now numbered.

Her eyes fell upon her father's lifeless form, his body growing cold as the minutes ticked away. In a hurried gesture, Y/N searched his pockets, her hands moving with urgency. Her search led her to an empty glass, bearing the traces of the poison that had claimed so many lives before. She knew its deadly effects all too well, having witnessed its aftermath firsthand. There was no salvation for her now, only a slim chance of surviving until morning.

Driven by a sense of urgency, Y/N hurriedly descended to the dimly lit streets of Ketterdam. Amid the shadows, she spotted Rotty, a trusted member of the crew. With a sense of urgency, she thrust a note into his hands, her voice filled with a mix of desperation and determination as she implored him to deliver it to Kaz.

"Rotty," she called out, her voice laced with urgency. "Take this note. Deliver it to Kaz. Please hurry."

Rotty, recognizing the gravity of the situation, nodded solemnly, his loyalty unwavering. Without wasting another moment, he set off on his assigned task, the note clutched tightly in his grasp. Y/N watched his retreating figure, her heart pounding with anticipation and a glimmer of hope, praying that Kaz would receive her message in time.

In the midst of uncertainty, with the poison coursing through her veins, Y/N was acutely aware that the sands of time were slipping away, but she knew what she needed to do.

Rotty’s hurried footsteps echoed through the halls of Kaz’s office as he approached the door. He knocked, alerting Kaz to his presence, and without waiting for an invitation, he entered, his expression grave. Kaz’s sharp gaze locked onto Rotty, ready to inquire about the urgency that fueled his arrival. However, before a single word could leave Kaz’s lips, Rotty handed him the note and swiftly departed, leaving Kaz alone with the cryptic message.

Kaz’s eyes widened as he unfolded the note, revealing a simple white paper with a solitary lollipop drawn on it. To an outsider, this might have seemed perplexing, but to Kaz Brekker, it held a hidden significance. A sense of urgency surged through him as he recognized the unspoken message encoded within.

Kaz’s heart pounded in his chest as he raced to Y/N’s apartment, his mind racing with a million possibilities. The gravity of the situation only grew stronger with every step he took. When he finally arrived, he wasted no time and barged into the apartment, his senses on high alert.

The sight that greeted him was chilling—a man sprawled on the floor, surrounded by a pool of his own blood. Kaz’s breath caught in his throat as he took in the scene, the implications of what had transpired sinking in. Before he could utter a single word, Y/N emerged from her room, her face pale with a mixture of relief and anguish.

“My father,” Y/N whispered, her voice laced with a complex blend of emotions.

Kaz approached Y/N cautiously, his gaze locked onto her. He could see the fear and exhaustion etched across her features, the toll of the night’s events visible in her eyes. Her face drained of the color it usually had, hands and body slightly trembling. “What happened.”

Kaz listened intently as Y/N recounted the events, her voice filled with a mix of exhaustion and raw emotion. He could sense the weight of her words, the pain that laced every syllable. As she spoke, he noticed the omission—the crucial pieces of information she chose not to share.

“Y/N,” Kaz began gently, his voice laced with concern, “How did he find you.” Y/N hesitated for a moment, she knew. Of course she knew the stupid watch had a tracker, she knew the whisper wasn’t just any drunk asshole, but she couldn’t tell him. “I don’t know Kaz. Maybe I wasn’t careful enough.”

Y/n’s hand extended towards Kaz, holding out the bottle she had found in her father’s jacket. Kaz took the empty bottle from Y/N’s trembling hand, his gloved finger slowly swiping over it. Realization hit him and he knew, he knew he was about to loose his best friend. “I can’t die like this, Kaz. Not because of him.” Kaz’s face pales as he comprehends the gravity of the situation. He knows all too well that this poison means certain death, and he knew what y/n was asking, but the mere thought of being the one to take her life was unbearable.

“I can’t,” Kaz says, his voice filled with desperation. “I can’t do that y/n. Please.” Please. He was begging his brain to think of something else. To find a solution that wouldn’t take her away, not now, not ever.

She understands the pain it causes him, but she needs him, needs his strength and protection more than ever. With a flicker of determination in her eyes, she implores, “Please, Kaz, protect me one last time.”

Her words strike deep into Kaz’s heart, shattering it into pieces. He made a vow years ago to safeguard Y/N, and he never intended to break it, not now, not ever. With a shaky hand, she hands Kaz a dagger, its blade sharp enough to tear through her heart.

Kaz’s mind races, desperately seeking a way to keep her safe, to find an alternative. But the reality of the situation crashes down on him as y/n crumples to her knees, clutching her chest tightly. In that moment, he understands that there are no potions, no saint, no saving her from this fate.

Gently, Kaz sits on the cold floor of the apartment and scoots closer to y/n, carefully cradling her against his chest. He knows she doesn’t want to die at the hands of the man who tormented her for years.

With a heavy heart, he takes the dagger, holding it as delicately as he can, his hands trembling as he positions it on top of her heart. He wishes there was another way, a way to spare her this pain, but in this moment, protecting her means granting her final wish.

“I will always protect you, y/n.” And with a final kiss to her sweaty forehead, the dagger went right through her heart, forever stopping it.

Whys for some:

Rulie and Chosen (Hyrule and Sky) -> Both make the mistake of telling the group their hero titles, Hyrule is eventually nicknamed Rulie by Legend and Wild as a result (nobody else calls him that), and Sky gets Chosen from everybody.

Apple, Forest, and Ocean (Legend, Twilight, and Wind) -> Nicknames from Triforce Heroes (from my hc of them being the Triforce Heroes)

Kid (Legend) -> Another nickname from Triforce Heroes, Wind is the only one who calls him that in LU though (Twilight takes too long to realize Apple and the Veteran are the same person)

Kit (Legend) -> Sky and Twi start calling him that after the bunny incident, Twi does it first and Sky joins in after because he's a gremlin and both know Legend hates (eventually likes) it

Conductor (Wind) -> Caused by music night when Wind leads the music with the Wind Waker and just sticks

[sleepy-the-loz-enthusiast]

CW: injury description, I felt sad so decided to make the LU boys suffer. But it ends with fluff. Enjoy !!

To say it had been a hard battle would be a severe understatement. Sure, fights were never easy, but often the heroes were left with only a few scrapes and bruises. Not now, though.

Half of the Chain were rendered unconscious and now being carried by their brothers. But the conscious ones weren't without their woes- Twilight's femur had snapped out of his skin, for Hylia's sake!- so he's stuck riding on Epona. But only after Warriors had reset the bone and force-fed him a red potion. His trousers are still ripped and sticky with drying blood and tiny scraps of his flesh. Though, having one of the sturdier members on horseback has it's advantages, as Wild would tell you if he was awake. Which he isn't, his self preservation died alongside his body 100 years ago, and now he's slumped against his brother's chest, basically sitting in his lap. Wild's face is pale enough to rival fresh snow- hell, it's whiter than the bandages that wrap around the majority of his body. Though no broken bones, so that's a plus.

Sky's seated at Twilight's back, his head resting on the Rancher's shoulder. His arms are tied around Twilight's waist with rope that came from somewhere. Sky's stamina had failed him midway through trying to take down a particularly vicious Hinox, which kindly kicked him into a tree when he crumpled to the ground. The one moment Hylia decides to bless them is when Sky smacks into the tree arm first. Sure, his whole arm basically shattered, but a broken arm can heal; a shattered spine cannot. He didn't get so lucky when his head also hit the tree with considerable force and several ribs cracked from the initial kick. Needless to say, the boy is still knocked out cold even after two fairies and Warriors' first aid skills.

Speaking of Warriors... he's fine. Physically, at least. The War has made sure he can't be outnumbered in a swarm. Mentally? Well, about as fine as someone caked in blood can be. None of it belongs to him; it's a disgusting mix of monster and his brothers. His eyes hold a haunted hollowness, and though his legs keep marching and his arms hold Legend securely, he's somewhere distant.

Legend's no better off than Wild or Sky. In fact, he's arguably the worst off out of all of them, though not in terms of physical wounds. The Veteran Hero has his nickname for a reason, and his nimble fighting style merely highlights it. No, the idiot forgot to keep track of how much magic his items used and insisted he was fine without any green potions, Hyrule needed them more so he could heal the others. He wasn't so fine when the magic exhaustion stopped his heart. And it took 10 minutes of CPR and two broken ribs for his body to resuscitate. He barely stayed awake long enough to have a green and a red potion poured down his throat. His limp body in Warriors' arms is the reason the Captain periodically ducks his head down to see if the boy's still breathing.

Four had been the last to fall, and boy did he fall hard. With no other options, he'd had to split into his colours to guard the others and fight. It wasn't going terribly until their brains and courage got knocked out. A moblin's club took Vio down, and a Lizalfos took Green down with a cut across his legs. This spurred Red and Blue into a panic, which then led to more reckless injuries. What makes them reckless is that they tried to hide it, not knowing that all the wounds the colours sustained would all show up on Four's body. Who knew Red was the type to hide a stab wound? So now the Rainbow is passed out on Hyrule's back, occasionally muttering something incoherent to himself, but otherwise staying dead silent.

As for Wind and Time? The Sailor had been the one fighting that Hinox alongside Sky, and he'd been the one to cry out when Sky got kicked into a tree. But what does a Link do when in a panicked situation? Start throwing bombs, because that's logical. But Wind's barely a teenager, and so throw bombs at a Hinox he does. It's just a shame that the ugly thing fell on him and broke his legs. And that he couldn't even cry out for help until Time found him silently sobbing to himself. When Warriors reset his legs and Hyrule healed them, Time held him close like he'd done for Twilight.

Time's injuries are superficial, in his opinion. A few slashes here and there, a broken nose, a heavily bruised foot, nothing compared to what the others- his boys- had been through. Now he leads the group since Warriors is hidden away in his own mind, Twilight is fighting to stay awake, and Hyrule has no sense of direction.

But thankfully Time knew the path back to his ranch like he knew the exact time down to the second. He could find his home even if he was beaten within an inch of his life and on the verge of death... that was quite the scolding he'd gotten after waking up. But enough about the past, he needs to focus on the now. It doesn't matter how much he'd love to just collapse onto the grass and sleep, he needs to get his boys to safety.

And in time, that's what Time does. The lights of LonLon ranch have never held so much hope before, neither does Malon's voice as he shouts to them in surprise.

"Oh, you poor things! Come on, come inside, we need go get y'all in bed!"

The following minutes of getting everyone inside and comfortable is a blur to say the least. Somehow, everyone awake has been given a warm mug of chamomile tea with a generous amount of honey, and everyone who'd been unconscious is resting amid fluffy pillows and blankets.

Hyrule drops off to sleep beside Legend and Wild not long after, his body finally giving in to exhaustion after running on fumes for hours. Malon gathers Time and Twilight into her arms- though Twi's more on her lap than anything from his position laid on the couch. Time manages to relay what happened to his wife, but Twilight can't fight sleep any longer. Especially not when Malon carding fingers through his hair reminds him so much of his mother... he misses her....

Warriors sits silently on a chair, his mug of tea forgotten without a sip. He stares into nowhere while trying to claw his way back into some form of awareness. His brothers are safe. They're safe. They aren't going to die. So why is he still so... paranoid? Absent? Afraid?

He doesn't notice when an older man takes a seat on the chair beside him. "Son? Ya gonna wash all that blood off you or what?" He asks, his accent similar to Malon's in a way Warriors' dazed mind can't comprehend.

When the Link doesn't respond, the older man's bushy eyebrows knit together in worry. "Link? Ya with me?"

No response. The man- Talon- sighs.

"Yer friends are safe, kiddo. See?" He points over to the pile of blankets. The blonde man follows the motion with his eyes. "They're all breathin', all still livin' and kickin'. You ain't got nothin' to worry about." The man keeps his voice as soft as it can be, and filled with quiet patience.

"Y'all are safe here in my ranch, no ugly so'n'so's gonna beat y'all up. You can rest now, Link."

And that's what breaks the dam.

Warriors gasps for air, his mind catching up and reeling. He breathes heavily for a few moments, all the while tears stream down his face. They leave pale, clean streaks in the blood coating his cheeks. Talon takes a cloth and gently wipes it away, muttering words of assurance.

"You back with me, sonny?"

"Y- yes. I... sorry."

"Don' worry, boy. Go get changed outta those bloody clothes and join yer brothers, yeah? Yer gonna be all okay."

Warriors just nods, still a little numb, and walks off.

He returns a while later, his hair and skin damp and his undershirt clings to his torso a little. His eyes are weary and bloodshot as he looks around at his brothers, all safe...

Legend and Wild both huddle into Hyrule. Four and Sky are still out cold but wrapped around eachother. Wind's somehow cuddling into Twilight's side where he's sprawled out on a couch. Time's nowhere to be seen, but if the snoring is anything to go by, he's in his own room. With Malon.

Warriors sighs deeply, the tension in his shoulders unwinding for the first time all day. Suddenly he's exhausted and slipping under a rouge blanket before he knows it.

Everyone's safe now. Not uninjured, not healed, but at least they're safe.

This is kind of shit but I was sad and really tired so here's the boys being horrifically injured but with a happy ending! I don't really know how to write Talon, but I imagine him and Malon have helped Time through a lot so he knows how to help a traumatised Link. Anyways, if you're reading this, thank you, and have a wondeful existence !

[phantoms-lair]

sweet 16

Detective Conan + BnHA

Usually solving a murder took observation, cleverness, and deductive prowess.

Usually It was not a matter of Conan and Heiji walking in on a woman bludgeoning the victim in the head with what looked like a rather large piece of bismuth with two officers of Tokyo Metropolitan in tow. (It couldn't be. Bismuth would shatter when hit against a skull, not deal the obviously lethal damage it had)

"Suda-san, why?" Takagi gasped.

The woman smiled, the expression all the more horrifying for her blood splattered face. "For this of course. That idiot Kawahara wouldn't give it to me. Not for money, not for me proving it was just 'fake' bismuth, though he had no idea the real value of what he had." She cradled the crystalline metal in her arms like it was an infant.

She was insane. Conan had met several people who were not mentally well, who killed for the dumbest of reasons, but he couldn't remember seeing insanity on this scale.

"Suda-san, put the stone down." Takagi said gently. Sato was uncharacteristically quiet, but Conan had figured out why a little bit ago.

"You're not taking it from me." Suda stood up and the crystal began to glow. "So now you'll all have to go far enough away so you can never come back."

'Sato' lifted her arm, the gun she was bringing to bare heavier and misshapen for a police firearm, but it didn't have the chance to go off. The four of them were swallowed by rainbow light.

The vertigo was overwhelming. There was no up or down, no motion or standing still. And it made the moment it stopped just seemd to make it all the more worse.

"I think I'm going to hurl" Heiji moaned.

"Sato-san? Are you okay? Sato-Kaitou Kid!?" Takagi exclaimed.

"Can't be surprised you got caught, you pulled out your cardgun." Conan snarked, not quite able to sit up yet."

"Kudo-kun?"

Okay, never mind. That startled Conan up. Had he turned back? No, he was still Conan, but Takagi was looking at him in shock. Or rather, right above him, where his head would be if he were his proper size.

"Takagi-keiji, that's Conan-kun." Kid said slowly, but in his own voice. He seemed to accept the jig was up for him.

"No it's not, it's Kudo-kun! I'm not blind."

"Err, it's really not. Like yeah, Sato-san turned out to be Kaitou Kid in disguise, but that's still Conan."

For once Heiji got his name right.

"Not it's not, that Kudo. And Kid's not in disguise, he's wearing his usually white suit. Isn't...he?" It seemed to be dawning on Takagi that no one else in the room was seeing what he was seeing.

"What's going on here?" A man who looked like he belonged in a comic book convention marched in

~

"Tsukauchi I need your help"

Detective Tsukauchi looked at his phone in annoyance. "You know I'm working on a big case right now Vibes."

"Just for a minute? I saw something really weird with my quirk and found two adults, a teen, and a kid. One of the adults is either hallucinating or lost control of his quirk and all of them...claim superpowers don't exist and heroes are only in comic books. I need to know if their pulling my chain to hide something or if they've been attacked by a villain with a mental quirk." The sympathy in his voice made it clear Vibes was leaning towards the latter.

Which was terrifying in the long term. A villain who could make a small group of people forget a main cornerstone of society and modern life...those four may have been a trail run for something bigger.

"Go." Toshinori urged him. "We've been spinning our wheels for hours anyway."

"Is that All Might?" Vibes asked over the phone.

Tsukauchi sighed. "We'll be right there."

"We?" Toshinori sounded surprised.

"You get frustrated when you don't feel you're being useful." Tsukauchi pointed out. "As you've said, we're spinning our wheels, so let's be useful."

~

"Blond skeleton!" Takagi yelped as two more people entered the room.

Conan kept a sharp eye on their reaction and Heiji was doing the same. Yep, a momentary flash of fear on the face of the normal looking man and a guy who looked even more like he stepped out of a comic book. And while comic book guy was blond, he was the opposite of a skeleton.

And yet...whatever was going on with Takagi seemed to be revealing things people wouldn't want known. He saw through Kid's disguise, literally. He saw Conan as Shinichi. And he saw that big guy as a skeleton. What could it mean?

"My name is Tsukauchi Naomasa with the TMPD." Instant alertness from their group, who knew of no such man working there. "I am legally obligated to inform you that my quirk is Lie Detector. I'm going to start with something simple. Can you tell me your names?"

"Takagi Wataru." Takagi answered nervously.

"Hattori Heiji"

"Edogawa Conan."

"Lie." Tsukauchi simply stated.

Conan stiffened and Takagi yelped.

"What wrong?" Heiji asked. "I just saw Ku-Conan-kun look severely injured. But he didn't seem to be reacting to it, so it's probably not real?" Takagi sounded just this side of hysterical,"

"True except for the name."

"Will you give it a rest!" Conan snapped. "There's no such thing as superpowers. And no one's a human lie detector! Even the best detectives are subject to falling for misdirection and tricks."

Tsukauchi sighed. "True."

"Well F-"

"LANGUAGE, YOUNG VIBES," All Might boomed, (albeit pleasantly. The man didn't sound angry, just loud). "WE NEED TO GET THESE FOUR TO A HOSPI-WHERE DID SHE GO?"

She? Oh right, Kid had been disguised as Sato-san. And had managed to escape while they were distracted by Conan. Great.

"We need to find her." The first comic book guy sounded like he wanted to curse, but didn't want to be scolded again. "We don't know who did this to them or if they'll tie up loose ends."

Hello! Can you write a small fic about Mr. Qi falling in love and proposing to the Farmer pretty please 🥺

Sure thing, dear anon! Have some Mr. Qi x Farmer one shot! Enjoy 💕

_________________________________________

Of all Mr. Qi's quests and tasks that Farmer had ever received, this one was the strangest. And it was so because... well, there was nothing strange about it, which was rather atypical for the mysterious blue man. No descending into Skull Cavern under any conditions, no growing blue fruit with a funny face and sunglasses. Nothing like that, the paper of the letter they pulled out from the mailbox in the morning simply had only one sentence written on it, "I'm waiting for you at my casino today. Don't make me wait, dear."

"Dear"... If Farmer had told anyone that the man who for a year and a half had given them the most extraordinary tasks for generous and interesting rewards had become their lover, no one would have believed them. On the other hand, the people of Pelican Town are no longer surprised by the deeds of "The Hero of The Stardew Valley," "The Most Chaotic Farmer in the World," and "The One Who Drank a Jar of Mayo on a Bet" (Farmer definitely had a few more nicknames, but can't remember them all anymore). So if they introduce Mr. Qi, an unusual wizard and demi-god, as their partner, it'll be just like a normal Tuesday for the locals.

Hmm, no specific date was written, but Farmer's curiosity was as immense as their determination and stubbornness. So quickly rearranging farm chores, they changed into clean clothes and headed for one of the four teleport obelisks. A simple touch of the huge structure with their fingertips and in the blink of an eye, instead of blooming field of crops, the Calico Desert appeared before Farmer's eyes, with its relentless heat, palm trees, cacti, and of course, the Oasis.

Reaching the shop door, Farmer was greeted by the cool air conditioning and Sandy's warm smile. The shop owner always welcomes guests, especially guests like Farmer (best friend and good customer!). They handed the girl a bouquet of daffodils they had managed to pick before teleporting to the Calico Desert, at which the girl's smile grew even wider. Sandy offered Farmer a cup of cool milk, but they politely declined, heading toward the door to the Casino while the girl accompanied them with an interested look. Standing like an unshakable rock, the perpetually serious-faced Bouncer silently stepped aside to allow the club member to pass. Farmer nodded their thanks, and without wasting a moment more, entered the dark room.

The sounds of slot machines, the clinking of glasses with expensive cocktails, the smell of cigars, someone's loud laughter and a voice full of disappointment at the lost amount of money... Everything sparkled with gold and diamonds, luxurious carpets and expensive furniture, and even being an honored guest of the Casino, Farmer felt a little uneasy. All the noise reminded them strongly of the city environment they had lived in before. It was not bad here, but the wooden house, cows and and forest were more dear to their soul.

"It's good to see you, darling." Thankfully, Farmer didn't have to wonder for long what to occupy themself with until Qi met them.

They turned back around and their gaze softened at the sight of their favourite person. Still the same familiar black clothes and hat adorned with gems shimmering in different colours of the rainbow, still the same round purple glasses and still the same enigmatic smile.

Mr Qi stepped closer to Farmer so they could hear him better amidst all the noise in the casino.

"I knew you'd come as soon as you read the letter."

"You always know how to keep me intrigued." Farmer smiled slyly. "Though this time I'm all guessing as to what the assignment will be."

"Does it have to be another assignment? Isn't just spending time together an good reason to meet?"

Farmer also shortened the distance, almost walking right up to Qi, gazing into his face.

"Of course, it's a great reason too. Especially since I was starting to miss you," if they weren't in the centre of the room, surrounded by people, Farmer would have taken off Qi's glasses to see his beautiful, cosmic eyes. "It's just that usually on occasions like this you turn up on your own, rather than sending letters."

He chuckled. "True. And there is a reason for that, my soul. There is something I must show you. But first...

We need to move somewhere a little more... private."

The snap of Qi's fingers echoed loudly in Farmer's ears, and the world before their eyes faded into darkness. The background noise of the casino was gone - no more clinking of coins or chattering of club members. Before the young farmer could worry, the entire black space was filled with the glow of a thousand stars, as if they were in outer space. Qi's figure stood in the same place where it had been when they were in the Casino, still smiling mysteriously. Except that the blue man's gaze, hidden behind a thick layer of glasses, was full of love at the sight of his beloved Farmer and the thought of how beautiful they were, surrounded by lights in the pitch darkness. As they gazed with delight at the space into which Qi had transported them and himself - after all, he always knew how to surprise them!

Raising his hand upwards, Mr. Qi's palm was enveloped in threads of his magic until an object materialised a few seconds later. Farmer's eyes, mesmerised by the stranger's magic, nearly flew in or out of their orbits when they realised what their mystical partner was holding.

"I guess I don't need to remind you of the traditions of your cute little town," Qi rubbed the Mermaid pendant between his fingers, the material was smooth and pleasant to the touch, "though I think you deserve a whole world more than just this pendant."

Qi had planned this moment in advance, choosing the right words and the right time. However, the speech he was about to make was interrupted by Farmer's abrupt embrace and a passionate kiss. Not even the great Qi could have foreseen such a thing.

"Tut-tut," although he tried to look like he wanted to lightly scold Farmer, there wasn't an ounce of annoyance in his voice. "I've prepared a whole speech, dear. It is not very polite to interrupt your interlocutor so rudely-" but even here Farmer did not let him finish, but once more touched Qi's lips with their. The man himself didn't seem to mind any more - it was at least a little different from what he had planned, but hearing the quiet and happy "I accept" from his lover, Mr. Qi no longer thought of going according to the script.

It had turned out even much better than that.

MY X-MEN HOT TAKES

@thealmightyemprex @professorlehnsherr-almashy

@a-roguish-gambit @isareadsandwatches @knivxsanddespair @the-blue-fairie

With the Strangest Heroes of All ongoing resurgence in mainstream popularity, inspired by @s10127470 , I've decided to share my hot takes/unpopular opinions I have on the team.

1º They really should be their own continuity

The X Men are so expansive with such a unique identity , they kind of stick out compared to other Marvel Heroes.

Starting with making them people who were born with different physical appearances or powers, turned the characters to an inovation compared to previous superheroes from Marvel and DC that mostly got their powers from being affected by radiation, being supernaturally powerful gods, bein born in other planets or had financial resources that allowed them to pursue futuristic technology and training to become strong athletes.

Literary anyone can be a mutant, and the mutation can manifest in either bombastic powers, or simply giving you rainbow hair, scales and three heads, so is not automatically guaranteed that a person will be strong to fend for themselves, only a marker of different needs for acomodation and living. This is much different in tone from the stories of good vs evil adventures that the Avengers, Spider Man and the Fantastic Four focus, and enters more in the realm of thriller, urban fantasy and sci fi with a focus on social commentary.

2º Kitty Pryde's use of the N Work only happened three times, and is often taken out of its broader context, not only narratively, but in real life as well.

Is important to notice that Kitty Pryde is jewish: historically, the jewish people have ocupied a complex place amongst marginalized comunities, since most of them don't have a physical difference marker like defined skin and hair color, and due to laws often limiting their work options to money lending because that was profession often forbidden to christians (who held the power in the western world), it was easy to make them the scapegoats to get the blame for the sistemic failings caused by the rise of capitalism, which in the process, made them isolated in their history of persecution, since other minorities ended believing the antisemetic propaganda that "Jews control the economy" and "They are just white people with a different religion", they couldn't count with the solidarity of other groups, and this lack of solidarity has consequences to this day, like how most non jewish people fail to understand the trauma caused by the Holocaust. So when Kitty Pryde calls out a black person who calls her "mutie", and lists the N Word among the insults that harm in a memorial speech for a mutant teenager that killed himself, this is not "a white girl wanting license to use the N-Word thinking herself more opressed than everyone"... is a jewish person navigating isolation from other minorities when struggling with antisemitism.

3º They don't really need Professor X's leadership to be able of using the X in their team's name

In their very first publish story, Professor Xavier explains this to Jean Grey:

So he didn't gave the name to the team as to be an extension of himself: Charles is important in founding the X-Men, but it doesn't mean that they could never formed to fight for justice when without him, they would find their own way to each other, and form different concepts of how a team must work.

5º The Allegory and Social Commentary is at the Heart of why The X-Men so Much for So Many People

"I think the X-Men matter so much to me cause it's a group of outsiders, Magneto (Ian McKellen) was the first Jewish character I saw who wasn't a victim but a survivor who stood up for freedom and justice, the whole MLK and Malcom X parallels between him and Charles just magnificent and we just don't see this anymore. A breaker of chains in so many ways cause a jewish character is either a docile sad victim talking about the horrors or a joke and he is neither.

The X-Men are outsiders who aren't victims, they do good things (or morally really dark grey things) despite being persecuted and hated. They teach you how to survive, how to navigate through the hate and give you strength.

Remember the third X-Men movie? When there was a cure for mutants? It reminded me of conversion therapy, the talks of there is something wrong with you which needed to be fixed so you can be normal. I remember thinking about how stupid this cure was cause really why cure something which needs no cure? A lot of the mutants have wonderful gifts which make the world a better place if they are allowed to express themselves and share this gift. And well if that doesn't translate into this world rn then idk.

The X-Men are a diverse group and let's be real a lot of people can't deal with that, cause they can't relate to it and rather live in the fancy whitewashed avengers world. But Xmen is so important cause it gives people hero's who usually don't get the chance to see themselves as hero's."

(professorlehnsherr-almashy)

"Mutants were never meant to be a 1:1 comparison for minorities, but the stories presented in the comics and other media resonate with so many people. So many marginalized people have been smeared with accusations of being dangerous in many different ways. The thing is, ignorance towards marginalized people allows for stereotypes to be created and perpetuated. It's the othering and closed-mindedness that leads people that were taught those views to always fear the 'non-normal' groups. They worry about the kind of violence that they would encounter if they were to come across someone like that, or if their community were to allow that group in. Violence itself doesn't have to be physical in the eyes of a bigot. Existing as your natural self is enough for them. Some stereotypes focus on certain groups being violent aggressors who want to destroy you. Or, they see it as their way of life threatened, their morals questioned, if others are let in or normalized; how certain groups could possibly disrupt their community or even their own family. Changing the status quo is violent to them."

(macrobiology)

"The majority builds up an image of fear based on the "scary ones" (the rapists, the murderers, the abusers) and say "This is what they are like. This is how on how they can hurt you. We have to do it this way to protect you." And with that considered, I think X-Men/mutants really works well as an allegory.

The largest question that X-Men poses to me is that in this world where a portion of the population is born with powers, why has the world failed to accommodate their needs?"

(nadelige)

"I think that the concept of mutant hatred being politicised makes a lot of sense.

I think that governments and people in power preferring superpowered beings that they can control, and therefore branding anybody outside of that, especially people without a platform, the way that most mutants are portrayed as more or less everyday people rather than kings, billionaires, gods, etc. is a good and easy target for them to weaponise the public’s perception into anti-mutant, pro-government, pro-military propaganda.

The foundation’s already there with The Sokovia Accords, with various governments being much more in favour of controlling superpowered individuals rather than letting any of them freely act of their own individual or group accords. Mutants can simply be a face for that general sentiment to be perpetuated through propaganda. Yay War Machine, yay Captain America. Characters who have already been proven to have saved the world in large, well-known conflicts like what happened in Avengers: Endgame already have a certain level of public goodwill that governments would find hard to fight against, but newer, or lesser-known, or everyday mutants don’t have that same level of goodwill, nor influence, nor power (theoretically), that characters like The Avengers already have, and so could much easier be marketed as threats to the everyday public.

Also, seeing as not every mutant has powers that would largely benefit most governments, but there’s also some that could be weaponised dramatically, it’s believable that various governments would want to deter mutant goodwill as propaganda against other governments potentially using them, while also giving excuses not to put mutant-positive propositions forward themselves because mutants aren’t always powerfully useful for self-serving politicians and governments. If it doesn’t directly and selfishly help them personally, then they aren’t going to support it, and instead weaponise that disregard in an attempt to further their own agendas.

“Mutants are too variable to be trusted, or more accurately, used.”

6º Mojo is not a Bad Villain, and his Three Episodes in the Animated Series Were Good

I can't defend Motendo from 97 though, first because it took too much time away from Lifedeath which should have been the focus, and two because they lost the oportunity to use Arcade, who is an actual videogame inspired X-Men villain.

7º Your Reaction to Xavier and Magneto's beliefs Will Likely Depend a Lot on Wether or Not you're part of an US American Audience or a Foreign Audience

Historically, most US american mass media advocated for moderate level liberal politics, that encouraged people to slowly and gradually reach progress trough the current sistem of democracy, and viewed people who acted trough revolutionary means like the organization of guerrilla warfare as villains that could be simply "bringers of disorder and chaos" and "no better than supremacists". While there are exceptions in the cultural production of the country, most of the time, media and art that viewed revolutionary characters trough a more positive lens is made outside of the US, often criticizing the failure of the american policy that presents itself as liberating, but historically has supported several military coups that took away other countries democracies to benefit their economic interests. So in this context, it grows on people a questioning of the aproach of "peaceful coexistence" and "diplomacy" in a world where your head is constantly stepped on when you try to do just that, and so there is no other alternative but take arms and fight back.

And in this context, comes the different receptions of Xavier and Magneto's characters and beliefs between different audiences: if you grew up in the US learning to be more moderate and be afraid of revolution, is more likely (with some exceptions) that you will support Xavier's optimism of peaceful coexistence, but if you grew up outside the US (like I did) questioning the US politics in the name of respectability and pacifism and not fearing revolutionaries, then is likely that you will question the attempts of portraying Magneto as a villain even though there are many elements in the narrative that give him the right to be angry and violent and not trust humans, and attempts to argue that "he is a supremacist" doesn't work for your as a viewer.

In their personal lives, both characters fail in many levels, particularly in relation to their children, but most of the time when audiences discuss "who is right or wrong", the focus is actually in how they act as in universe political leaders.

In city called Ninjago, Master Wu gathers four ninjas, who have the elemental powers، Kai and Nya the Masters of Fire and Water, Zane the Master of Ice, Cole the Master of Earth, and Jay the Master of Lightning, come together to protect their city From the evil Lord Garmadon and Serpentine, and also to know which one of them is the legendary green ninja A prophecy, the boy who will save Ninjago from Lord Garmadon and the Overlord...

There she meets five girls: Pinkie Pie who represents the element of laughter, Applejack who represents the element of honesty, Fluttershy who represents the element of kindness, and Rainbow. Dash represents loyalty, Rarity represents generosity and Twilight represents magic Together, they will search for the elements of harmony to save their city from Nightmare Moon...With all these differences between these, the heroes of our story did not know that there were many similarities between them and that they would meet soon and work together to defeat the Villains...

Episode 1: Way of The Ninja And Pony on The Moon

"A pony named Twilight discovers the truth that Nightmare Moon has returned to Equestria, so she decides to tell her teacher, Empress Celestia, but she receives a reply that she must go to a small village called Ponyville, so Twilight goes there with her little cat, Lila, to supervise a summer sun celebration and to make new friends as well." There she meets six girls: Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Nya and Fluttershy, and also meets Kai, Jay, Cole and Zane, and together they will defeat Nightmare Moon and Lord Garmadon!"

"Before time had a name, Equestria enjoyed peace and tranquility for a period of time, and there were two princesses who maintained this balance. The princess, the Greater, raised the sun every morning, and the youngest raised the moon at night. Thus, the two princesses maintained a balance for their kingdom and for their people as well, but over time, the youngest became dissatisfied. Because ponies play and have fun during the day that her sister attends, and ponies sleep at beautiful nights that the youngest attends, and the situation remained like this until one fateful day, the younger sister refused to lower the moon. She turned her sister in every way to master it, but the younger sister did not want to, and with sadness and hatred for her sister, she turned into a pony. An evil darkness, she was Nightmare Moon! She swore to cover the skies of Equestria with eternal night. So the eldest decided to look for any way to stop her sister, and she used the elements of harmony. After a great battle, the eldest sister was able to exile Nightmare Moon to the moon, and after that, the people of Equestria began celebrating a summer sun celebration, and this continued. Celebrating for a long time...”

Twilight said this while reading the book she borrowed from Celestia

Then Twilight said:

"The elements of harmony and pony on the moon? I think I want to know more about this story!"

Twilight decided to go to the library to learn more about Nightmare Moon. On the way, Twilight met her childhood friends, and they wanted to invite her to one of their friends' parties. Twilight could not refuse their request, so she went with them.

The host of the Moon Dancer party was preparing a number of things until she finally found her friends coming and she was happy about that

And she said:

"Finally! I'm really happy that you guys banned my party, especially you, Twilight...I didn't expect you to come too."

Twilight laughed and said to her:

"Why wouldn't I go to my best friend's party?"

Moon Dancer said:

"Because you're always busy with your studies an-"

Twilight cut her off and said:

"Maybe whatever, you want to see my gift?"

Twilight gave the gift to Moon Dancer and began to open it and found inside a picture of her and all her friends

Moon Dancer smiled with tears of happiness evident on her eyes and said:

"Thank you...thank you, Twilight, thank you all."

Twilight approached her and wiped her tears and said:

“There is no need for this, Moon Dancer, we are friends. Well, what do you say we start celebrating?”

The celebration began and after a few hours, when night came, everyone went to their homes, and Twilight and Moon Dancer remained at the party

Moon Dancer said:

“The party was really fun, I'm really happy to-”

Moon Dancer stopped talking when she looked at Twilight, who was thinking about something

She said anxiously:

"What's wrong, Twilight? What are you thinking?"

Twilight said:

“I think there's something I've forgotten, something important...”

Twilight looked at the sky and found that a moon was starting to appear, and then she remembered her search for Nightmare Moon

Twilight said:

“The moon... How did i forget that?!”

Moon Dancer said in amazement:

"What do you mean?"

Twilight said:

“I have been searching for anything related to Nightmare Moon so I can inform the Empress...”

Moon Dancer was about to ask her what she meant, but she found Twilight starting to go and said:

“Don't worry, I'll come back later when I'm done!...”

And she was gone

Moon Dancer suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if this would be the last time she would see her friend... would it really be the last?

(In the library...)

"Lila! You??"

Twilight said as she looked for her little assistant

Lila answered:

"I'm here"

When Twilight looked up, she saw a black cat with eyes as blue as the sea. Yes, it was Lila, her favorite cat, It was a gift from Celestia because Twilight studied her diligently, and Twilight used a spell to make her talk. Lila always said that she came from a cold place full of snow, and the Empress found her and she was injured and took care of her until Twilight got her

Lila went down and Twilight asked her:

"What were you doing up there?"

Lila answered:

"I was taking a nap"

Twilight said:

“Okay Lila, can you find a book that talks about old legends?”

Lila went to a bookshelf to get the book and she found it. Twilight took a book, opened it and started reading it:

"Elements of harmony, a pony in the moon?..."

Lila said in surprise:

"Pony in the moon? But it's a fairytale."

Twilight continued:

"A pony a pony, I found it! The pony in the moon is a legend from the history of ponies. A powerful pony wanted to rule Equestria in the eternal night. She was defeated by the elements of harmony and was banished to the moon. Legend says that on the longest day of the year she will find a way To escape from a moon that will bring with it eternal night...”

She also said:

"Lila! Do you know what this means??"

Lila answered:

"no?"

Twilight said:

“This means that at the end of the Summer Sun Festival, Nightmare Moon will return to Equestria and bring with her Eternal Night, so I will write a letter to the Empress!”

Lila said in surprise:

"Okay, but what are you going to write?"

Twilight replied while writing:

“My dear teacher, because my continued study of the history of the ponies, I discovered that the pony in the moon, called Nightmare Moon, will return at the end of the Summer Sun Festival and bring with it eternal night. Therefore, I hope that you will take action to prevent this from happening...”

- Your loyal student (Twilight Sparkle)

Twilight finished writing the letter and sent it using her magic

Lila said:

“Okay, but the Summer Sun Festival is tomorrow and the Empress is already busy with it and it would be really bad if we disturbed her?”

Twilight said:

"This is the problem! Summer Sun's celebration will be on the same day as Nightmare Moon's coming...so I had to tell her about this..."

Shortly after that, a reply arrived to a message from Amira, and Twilight was happy about this

Then Twilight started reading a letter:

“My dear student Twilight, I know that you have been studying well and that you are one of my best students, but you must forget these superstitions and you must make some friends when you go to Ponyville tomorrow to attend the Summer Sun Festival there.”

-Your precious teacher (Empress Celestia)

Twilight's smile turned into shock and said:

"What?! But...but these are not myths! They are real!!"

Lila sighed and said:

“It's already night, tomorrow when we go we'll talk about this.”

Twilight grabbed her cat and they go to sleep

(in the next day..)

In a blacksmith shop in a village near Ponyville, there was a young blacksmith named Kai Smith trying to make a perfect sword, but he was unable to do so, and then his younger sister, called Nya, came.

Kai told her:

"I thought I'd make it this time..."

Nya looked at her brother and said to him:

"Don't be so sad, brother... I'm sure you'll succeed soon!"

Kai looked at the sword he wanted to make and said:

"Do you really think so?"

Nya answered:

“Of course, if father were alive, he would have told you...”

Kai continued:

“I know... something requires patience in order for me to succeed...”

Then Nya approached her brother and smiled at him, but then a man entered them

Wu said:

“So this is the blacksmith shop right?”

Kai looked at him and said:

"Yes, it is. How can I help you?"

Wu said:

"You seem to have weapons for warriors and even samurai, but nothing for ninja?"

Kai said surprised:

"Ninja?"

Wu told him:

"Yes, like you, Kai."

Nya said in shock:

"And he knows your name, too."

Wu said:

"Of course I know, Nya."

Then Kai said to him:

"Well, I don't know how you know our names, but tell me what you want?"

Wu said:

“There's no need to be angry Kai, I just wanted to give you an offer.”

Kai was surprised by what he said and said:

"Really? What is it?"

Wu replied:

“My name is Wu, and I have come to give you an offer to become a ninja.”

Nia said surprised:

"A Ninja?!"

Wu said:

"Yes, you can both be ninjas on my team."

Nya was surprised by Wu words, but Kai did not like it, and said to him:

"Listen man, this is a store called Four Arms, not Four Ninjas. If you don't want to buy anything, go away!"

Wu looked at Kai angrily and said to him as he left:

"I thought I found something special here..."

Then Kai said:

“But if you want something special I can give you...”

When Kai turned around, he found that Wu was already gone...

Then Kai looked at his sister and said:

“Where did he go?...”

Nya answered:

"I don't know, he was here for a moment."

Then Kai went back to work, but then Nya said to him:

"So Kai, when are we going to Ponyville?? The Summer Sun Festival is tonight and I promised Rarity I'd help her with the decorations!"

Kai looked at her and said:

"I know, I know... also I promised to Applejack help her organize a celebration... It's almost over and we'll go together."

But suddenly Kai and Nya heard people screaming outside, and when they looked outside, they found that there was an army of skeletons coming towards them.

Nya said:

"who are they?..."

Kai answered her while taking a sword and shield:

"I don't know...but stay inside!"

Kai then went out and started attacking the skeletons, but then he turned around to see that his younger sister was also fighting with him.

Kai said as he approached her:

"Didn't I tell you to stay inside?!"

Nya answered:

“And leave you have all the fun?”

They started fighting together

But there were some skeletons trying to enter a store, but Nya noticed them and kept them away and felt that they were trying to steal something, but then Samukai came down and started fighting Kai, and when Samukai was about to perform Kai, suddenly Master Wu went to save him with Spinjitzu.

Then Samukai said to him:

"Even your Spinjitzu has become weak!"

Wu then replied:

"Nothing is weaker than bones, Samukai!"

They started fighting each other

Then Samukai tried to cheat and try to hit Kai, and he threw a water deer and was going to fall on Kai, but Wu saved him.

Then Samukai said:

"Lord Garmadon said get the boy!"

Wu said in surprise:

“Garmadon?...”

Then they were going to catch Kai, but Wu used Spinjitzu and saved him

Then Samukai's army decided to withdraw, and before they left, Samukai said to them:

"It's not over yet! I'll come back for a map!!"

And then they go...

Kai approached Wu and said:

“Thank you for saving me and my sister! By using you to...where was that?”

Wu looked at Kai and said:

"Spinjitzu, it's called Spinjitzu... so have you considered my offer?"

Kay answered:

"Honestly, I don't know...I have to fix a store and..."

Nya interrupted him and said:

"But Kai! This is going to be fun! Imagine us being ninjas!"

Nya continued to insist on Kai until he said:

"Okay sister, if you want it...we'll be ninjas."

Wu smiled at them and after Kai and Nya gathered some of their things, Wu told them to follow him

Then Wu went and took the map that was hidden in the store

Kai said in shock:

"Hey! How long has this map been here?!"

Wu replied:

“I don’t remember, maybe ten or twenty years ago.”

Then Nya said:

“But how did we not notice this... Who were these skeletons and why did they want to kidnap my brother??"

Kai continued:

"And who are Samukai and Garmadon??"

Wu sighed and said to them:

"Well, I will explain to you the story...Once upon a time, Equestria had protectors who protected it from evil people, and one of them was the first Spinjitzu master and the first elements Masters... and the Spinjitzu master made four Spinjitzu weapons, and when he left, he left the Spinjitzu weapons with his sons, but it was one of them." He seeks the power of these weapons... and after a long struggle between two brothers, one of them fell into the underworld... and then a younger brother decided to hide weapons because of their dangerous power... and he drew a map of the places and gave it to his bestfriend so that he could hide it....”

Kai said:

"And that friend was my father..."

Wu looked at the shocked child and answered:

“Yes, he was your father... He was my friend before....”

Nya continued:

“Before he died...”

Wu then continued his words:

“And I am the younger brother in the story and the elder brother is Garmadon and he wants the map to steal weapons... and for this I need elemental masters, a ninjas who will help me to find weapons.”

Kai sighed and said:

“Okay, we coming but only for Nya.”

Wu smiled and Nya was jumping with happiness

Then Wu said to them:

“And I'm sure Celestia will be happy to know this.”

Kai and Nya were shocked, and then Kai said:

"You know Empress Celestia??"

Wu laughed at their reaction and said:

"Of course I know her and I will tell you why at an appropriate time. Now let's go to the Spinjitzu Monastery."

Later, after hours of walking...they finally arrived at the Spinjitzu Monastery. Kai was tired from walking and Nya was a little more active than him, perhaps because she was carrying less things.

Wu said to them:

"Come on, little ninjas! You got a lot of work today?"

When Kai heard this, he fell to the ground in shock. Minutes later, Kai and Nya entered and showed them their room.

On the way, Nya noticed that there were other rooms for other people and said:

"Are there other people living here?"

Wu replied:

“Patience Nya, everything will come in its own time.”

Kai and Nya looked at each other and continued walking. Then they started training, and Nya was good at it, but Kai...in fact, he didn't want to come there from the beginning. Wu was scolding him for this, and whenever Kai tried, he would fall, and they stayed like that until noon.

Wu told him:

"What's wrong with you, Kai? Why don't you want to train?"

Kai got up from the ground and answered:

“Because I don't want to be a ninja! I only came here for my sister...”

Wu sighed and said:

“okay... Take your time and then you will think about whether you want to continue or not”

Kai said:

"Well, I feel Like I forgot something..."

Wu said in amazement:

"what did you forget?"

Kai said:

"I don't know, but I'm sure it's something important..."

Then Kai and Nia looked at the setting sun

Kai said in shock:

"Summer Sun Celebration!! Applejack!! I have to go because!"

Then Nya said:

"Oh no...I forgot my date with Rarity!! She must be angry..."

Wu said to them:

"Okay, but don't be late."

Kai and Nya quickly went to Ponyville

Wu said after they left:

“I hope this celebration goes well...and I hope that Celestia will quickly gather the Elemental Masters of Harmony...”

Later, when Kai and Nya arrived in Ponyville, they went their separate ways and agreed to meet at the end of the day and celebrate.

(With Kai..)

Kai went to Sweet Apple Acres, the place where the Honestly girl of Ponyville and Equestria live, Applejack! Kai and Nya adopted sister

"You're finally here, you naughty cat," Applejack said as she shook Kai hand

Kay said:

“I was late because of some things...You won't believe what happened to me today.”

(With Nya...)

"Rarity! I'm here" Nya said as she rushed to catch up with her best friend

Rarity said as she put on an ornament.

"Nya!"

When Nya reached her side, Rarity said:

"It's good that you're here, I've brought together some amazing things for the party!"

Nya laughed and said:

“You still care about elegance as much as you used to, Rarity.”

Rarity said:

“Of course, the most important thing about a woman is her elegance. How about you help me here?”

.......

Later with Twilight, the carriage sent by the Empress arrived and Twilight rode in, taking Lila with her

Lila said to her:

“Perhaps what the Empress said may be true, and you should leave the library for a while to make friends. Also, the Empress made us stay in the library in ponyville”

Twilight said to her:

“It is a good thing that the Empress made us stay in the library, and I will continue supervising a celebration, and then I will complete research on the prophecy!”

Then Lila said:

“But how can you be sure that the prophecy was true?”

Twilight answered:

“Honestly, I'm not sure if this prophecy is true, but my feeling says it will be true!”

Then Lila said:

"I see...but what about making friends?"

Twilight said:

"Making friends won't save Equestria! I have to find more information about Nightmare Moon."

Then they finally arrived at Ponyville, and when they got down, Twilight kept contemplating the beauty of the place, even though it was simple.

Lila said:

“What a beautiful place indeed!”

Twilight also said:

“You're right, although the buildings look really simple compared to Ninjago City or Canterlot"

Then Twilight and Lila noticed a pink-haired girl

Lila said:

"Twilight, how about trying to be her friend?"

Twilight said in shock.

"Really? But what abou-"

Lila interrupted her and said:

"Come on Twilight, try it"

Twilight sighed, then walked a little closer to Pinkie Pie and said:

"Hello?"

Pinky smiled and said:

"Hi !"

Then Twilight said:

"I'm new here and I'm here to..."

"You what?" Pinkie said as she stared at her

Twilight tensed a little and said:

“Uh...I said I was new and...”

Then Pinkie screamed in shock and ran quickly

Then Twilight said:

“Oh, what a successful attempt at making friends, so where will we go now, Laila?”

Lila answered:

"It seems that we will go to the apple farm and there we will meet a girl named Applejack. She supervises the food."

Twilight said:

"Okay let's go...Wait, who is these ponies??..And what are they doing to this child??.."

Twilight and Lila looked at three boys wearing black, ninja-like clothes who were holding a child with blond hair.

Twilight came closer to them and said:

“Who are you and what are you doing to this child??”

One of the boys looked at Twilight and said:

“Hello, my name is Jay and this is a naughty kid who ran away from school again.”

Twilight looked at Jay strangely, and then Cole said:

"Are you serious Jay? You just said your name to a girl you saw now, did you forget that a ninja should be mysterious??"

Jay told him:

"Oh yeah, I forgot."

Zane looked at them in surprise and said:

"But Cole, you told her about our identity by deed."

Cole looked at him and said:

"Hey did I?"

Jay said to them:

"But we really do look like ninjas, don't we?"

Twilight looked at them and said:

“Honestly, you just look like ponies in pajamas.”

Jay looked at her in shock and said:

“pajamas?? I thought we looked like ninjas...”

Then Zane said:

“But we have to get Lloyd back to his school now and get back to the sensei”

Lila was surprised and said:

"sensei?"

Then Cole tell them:

"Let's go, guys"

And then the ninjas went with Lloyd

Twilight said in surprise:

“Well, that was really weird... Let's go, Lila”

Then they went to the apple farm

(And at the same time with the Empress...)

Empress Celestia was holding Twilight's letter and next to her was a man wearing a straw hat

Tia looked at him and said:

“So it seems that their return will be on the same day...and we are still wasting time here.”

Wu looked at her and said:

“Don’t worry, Tia, I started collecting Elemental Masters in order to protect the Golden Weapons, but what about you? Have you collected Harmony Elemental Masters?”

Celestia sighed and said:

"no not yet..."

Wu was surprised and said:

"Why not? Haven't you found them yet?"

Tia answered:

"No, I already found them in Ponyville but I prefer Twilight to be the one to find them...she is, after all, a chosen person..."

Wu asked her:

"Do you think she'll be the green ninja?..."

Tia answered:

"I don't know...but what's the harm in making sure of this matter? But we must not repeat the same mistake we did in the past..."

Wu sighed and then left, and Tia turned to see the picture of her and her sister on the glass, and her look turned to sadness.

With tears falling from her eyes, she said:

“I will save you, Luna, I promise...”

Then Celestia looked at another picture, and it showed Wu in his youth, and there was a young man with brown hair with him

She said:

"And I wish the same for you, Garmadon..."

.......

Twilight and Lila arrived at the apple farm

Twilight saw an orange-haired girl who was wearing a straw hat and a brown-haired boy with her

"It must be Applejack," Twilight thought to herself

Then Twilight approached them and said:

"Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle and I'm here to..."

Then Applejack took her hand to greet her and said:

"Hey Twilight! My name is Applejack but you can call me AJ, and I'm sure we'll be friends soon!"

When Applejack opened her eyes, she found that Twilight was going to fall to the ground

Applejack said shyly:

“I'm sorry, I always forget that I'm a little strong.”

Kai and Lila were laughing at them, and then Kai said:

"a little?"

And they continued laughing

Then Twilight said to them:

"whatever, we came from Canterlot at the request of Empress Celestia to supervise some matters here for the Summer Sun Festival.”

Twilight looked at Applejack and saw her calling her family to bring food for the guests, and Applejack began to introduce her entire family to Twilight and Spike, her closest and oldest brother, “Big McIntosh” and of course her other brother, “Kai,” and her sister, “Nya,” who was not there at the moment, and her younger sister, “Applebloom,” and her grandmother "Granny Smith" and of course bring a lot of food with them

Twilight said to them:

“Wow, it looks like the food is in good hands...well I guess I'll go and finish a mission...”

But before Twilight could go, Applebloom caught her and was looking at her sadly

When Twilight looked at everyone and saw how sad they were, she said:

"Okay, I'll stay longer."

When Twilight said this, everyone was happy again

Lila was shocked, then she looked at Kai and said to him:

"Do they always act like this?"

Kai answered:

"Yes, Ask me. I've known Applejack since childhood, and it's normal for her and her family to behave like this with strangers."

Later, when they left, Twilight was tired from eating so much, so she said:

“Oh... I think I ate too many pies...”

Then I noticed that Laila was looking at the sky

Twilight asked:

"What's wrong, Lila?"

Lila answered:

"a girl named Rainbow Dash was supposed to come to sweep away the clouds.”

Twilight looked at the sky and then said:

“It doesn't seem like it's doing its job...”

After Twilight said this, she collided with a pony that was speeding and fell into the mud

Twilight looked at that pony and said:

"Hi!"

the pony looked at her and said:

"Oh, I'm sorry...but I know how to make it up to you!"

Then that pony flew into the air and took up a cloud with her, drenching Twilight with it

the pony laughed and then said:

"Oh...don't worry, I know how to fix this!"

Then the pony flew in and made a small tornado to dry Twilight's hair, and when she finished, Twilight's hair was a disaster, so she and Lila burst out laughing.

Twilight said to them:

"is this funny?"

the pony said:

"Yes, really funny!"

And keep laughing

Then Twilight said:

“So, are you Rainbow?...”

Her answer:

"Yes, I'm Rainbow dash! The fastest and the best!"

When Twilight looked at her, she found that she looked more like a griffin than a pony, but she had a special jewel in the form of a necklace.

Twilight looked at her for a moment and then said:

"So you're a Griffin?"

Rainbow Dash was surprised by her question and said:

“Yes, I am, why are you surprised?”

Twilight answered:

"No, that's not what I mean, but only because this is the first time I've seen them...And I also wanted to ask why you still haven't pushed the clouds away?"

Rainbow Dash replied:

“Because I've been practicing some cool moves! And I still have some time.”

Twilight was surprised by something and said:

“Who are you training for?”

Rainbow Dash said:

"Wonderbolts! I've been wanting to join them for a while and the Summer Sun Festival would be the perfect opportunity for that."

Then Twilight had an idea and said:

"So you think they'll accept a girl who can't push away clouds?"

Rainbow Dash looked at her and said:

“Is this a challenge?”

Twilight smiled and said:

"Yes"

Rainbow Dash said:

"Then you'll see how I can get her away in just ten seconds."

Then Rainbow Dash flew into the sky and began to push away the clouds and quickly finished them

Twilight was shocked and Rainbow Dash was laughing at her reaction and then said:

"This was fun! I hope we meet again."

And Rainbow Dash was gone

Then Twilight went to the place where the celebration would be held. Twilight was amazed by Zeina's beauty, and at the same time she noticed the presence of two girls, one with purple hair and the other with black hair.

Twilight said to herself:

"I think Rarity is one of them."

Twilight went up to them and asked who Rarity was

The woman with purple hair answered her:

"Of course I'm Rarity! The amazing fashion designer!"

Twilight was dazzled by her beauty and said:

“Wonderful, actually. I came to supervise The decorations an-”

she noticed that Rarity was shocked by something

The black-haired girl said:

"Rarity? What's wrong?"

Rarity was going to fall but Nya caught her and said:

"Nya! I can't see...please tell me I'm dreaming!!"

When she said that name, Twilight remembered about Applejack sister

Nya sighed and said to her:

"You're exaggerating too much"

Twilight did not understand anything and said:

"What?? oh you mean my hair?"

Rarity got up and grabbed Twilight and said to her:

"Don't worry, honey, I'll fix it!"

Twilight was shocked and said:

"Wait what??"

Nya and Lila were surprised, but they went with them

(In Rarity house)

Rarity was brushing Twilight hair and Nya and Lila were watching

When Rarity finished it, she put some ribbons in Twilight's hair

Twilight said in shock:

"It's... really cool!!"

Rarity smiled and said:

“This is the least I can do, so why did you come to see me, my dear?”

Twilight answered:

“I came from Canterlot because Empress Celestia sent me to supervise the Summer Sun Festival here and wanted to meet you to see how you prepared the ballroom, and it seems that you have been doing a good job an-”

“You're really from Canterlot?!” Rarity said happily as she held Twilight close

"Uh, yeah?" Twilight said surprised

Rarity said:

"You don't know how much I wanted to visit that place! It's one of the most beautiful places in Equestria. Wait, I'll get you a gorgeous dress! Then you'll tell me all about Canterlot."

When Rarity was gone, Twilight approached Nia and said:

“Does she always act like this?”

Nia answered:

“No, but if it was about Canterlot, you would do more than that.”

Twilight sighed and said:

"Honestly, I don't have time to try on all these beautiful outfits, because I have a lot of work to do."

"Okay, but will you come back later?" Nya said

Twilight answered while holding her cat:

“there is not much time left until I finish my tasks and perhaps I may return.”

After Twilight left, Rarity came carrying several dresses and said:

"I'm back! And I have some- hey where did that girl go?"

Nya told her:

“She went because she had a lot of things to do.”

.......

"So looks like we should check out the music now," Twilight said as she wandered into a village

Until Twilight heard the beautiful sound of birds singing, when I approached, she saw a cute girl holding a small bird

"Hi” Twilight said

Twilight said nervously.

“Uh, my name is Twilight Sparker and I'm here to supervise the celebration...”

Fluttershy grabbed her hair shyly and said in a low voice:

"I'm... Fluttershy."

Twilight asked:

"What?"

Fluttershy said:

"Fluttershy..."

Twilight didn't understand, but she saw birds, that girl had returned

Twilight said:

"Ah...your birds are back. I think you're good at this."

Lila got out of her place

Twilight said:

“That was easy.”

When Fluttershy saw that little kitten, she quickly flew to Lila side and caught her and said:

"Little kitten! She's so cute!"

Laila said:

"Oh, that's really nice."

Fluttershy said:

"Amazing! you can speak our language. How about you tell me something?"

Lila asked:

“Like what?”

Fluttershy replied:

"Oh, I don't know. What about your life story?"

Laila said:

"Well why not?"

But Twilight grabbed Lily and said:

“But I'm really in a hurry and I have to go to a library, but I don't know where it is...”

Fluttershy said:

“If you don’t mind, I can accompany you and show you to her place and on the way hear the story of your cat’s life.”

Twilight smiled at her and let her come

Lila started speaking:

“When I was young, I came from an empire full of snow...”

Later, they arrived at a library, and Laila was still talking

Lila finally finished her speech with:

"And this is the story of my life, what do you think about me telling you what happened that day?"

Fluttershy said happily:

"This would be wonderful!"

Twilight said:

"Wait while I open the door."

Twilight opened the door of the library and she and Lila were shocked when she turned on the light and found that all the ponies she had met were there and had prepared a party for her. This was the first time anyone had thrown a party for her....

Twilight said in shock.

"what is all of this?..."

The five ponies gathered with Kai, Nya, and the three ninjas and said:

“A party for you!”

Twilight smiled and said:

“That's...really nice, thank you guys but how did you have time to do this?”

Pinkie Pie approached her and said:

“Because when I saw you for the first time in the morning, I didn’t know you, and if I don’t know you, that means you’re new, and if you are new, it means you don’t have any friends here, so I threw this party for you!”

And then Rainbow dash said:

"The important thing is let's celebrate!"

Everyone started celebrating, and by the time night had come and the time for the Summer Sun Festival was approaching

Twilight was in her room and was looking at the sky

Lila approached her and said:

"What's wrong, Twilight?"

Twilight said:

“It's almost sunrise and I haven't looked yet...”

Twilight saw stars shining close to the moon and said:

“Legend says that on this night the Princess of Darkness, Nightmare Moon, will return...I hope the Empress’s words are true and that these are just fairy tales...”

Then Applejack came and said:

"Come on, Twilight, it's sunrise time!"

Later in the celebration hall everyone was there for Shorouk

Kai told his sister that he had to return to a monastery for something and left. Nia and Wu were surprised...

The mayor came out and said:

"As Mayor of Ponyville, I announce that the Summer Sun Festival has now begun. In a few minutes, our village will witness this celebration and celebrate the longest day of the year, presented by Empress Celestia!"

Fluttershy started making the birds sing and everyone was happy and excited except Twilight who was worried about what would happen....

Pinkie Pie noticed her feeling and said:

"What's wrong, Twilight?"

Twilight looked at her and said:

“Uh? Oh nothing!”

She tried to put on a fake smile, but Pinkie Pie is an expert in these things, so she knew she was lying

Rarity opened the curtain to introduce the Empress, but was shocked because she was not there!...

Everyone was shocked, and suddenly the Princess of Night and the Princess of Darkness, Nightmare Moon, appeared!... and they were laughing

Twilight said:

"Oh no...."

(and at the same time in the monastery)

Samukai was holding the Golden Weapon Map and was laughing, but suddenly he heard someone's voice saying:

"So you thought I wasn't expecting you?'"

Then he turned around and saw that it was Kai and he was holding a samurai sword

Samukai said:

"So you're back...prepare to finish fighting!"

(To Be Continued...)

Fun Facts:

• I used Google Translate for this, so there may be some errors

• Spike has not appeared yet because I hate the way he appeared in comics in Twilight's past and after episodes, so I decided to make him appear in the next episode and that would be the first meeting between him and Twilight And I will make his relationship with Twilight and the others better • Kai and Nya are twins and were adopted by Applejack's family in the past • Wu looks like his adult form in Season 9 and not just an old man • I call Celestia the Empress because the title of princess doesn't really make sense • You will discover that Lila is not Normal cat with the seasons... • When Kai said he didn't want to be a ninja, he wasn't joking about that, and you'll find out why later (and I don't mean he won't be a ninja) • It has taken a long time to write this :( • I made Twilight much better with her friends and with the five girls from Ponyville then the real show

Feel The Music (PHOENIX Oneshot) (December 28, 2121)

Summary: With their relationship still a secret kept from the public, Pro Heroes Third-Degree and Hawks decide to take a big risk and get frisky at the Musutafu Karaoke Bar. (referenced at their Bachelor Party in the main fic)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The neon lights in the private karaoke room set the mood as Pro Heroes Third-Degree and Hawks finish their fourth round of drinks for Keigo’s twentieth birthday. Mirko and Ryukyu had left the party already, leaving the two lovers by themselves in the VIP room. Keigo’s only drank a few times before, but, considering now he can legally drink, Rumi had convinced him to splurge. As a result, he and Toya are tipsily giggling away as they cuddle on the leather wraparound couch. 

“Enjoying your birthday, birdie?” Toya slurs with a sly grin as he stretches to nonchalantly drape his arm over Keigo’s shoulder, pulling him into an awkward and sloppy side hug. 

“Oh, I definitely enjoyed your god-awful singing,” Keigo chuckles, nuzzling into Toya’s neck and pressing a few soft kisses to his jawline. 

“Hey! Rumi was so much worse,” Toya retorts, half-kidding-half-not, “I thought I did okay on ‘fleabag’.”

“That’s because that’s the only one you did in your range,” Keigo sighs, and Toya blinks at him through his blurred vision. 

“What are you a fucking glee club coach?” Toya snorts, and Keigo shrugs with a playful smile, making Toya unceremoniously shove him away. Unfortunately, with his drunken strength, he accidentally shoves Keigo all the way to the other end of the couch. 

“Awww…c’mon, Toya,” Keigo whines patronizingly, crawling on all fours across the couch to his boyfriend. Toya rolls his eyes, leaning forward to grab the remote when Keigo unceremoniously pounces on him, knocking him on his side on the couch. Toya blinks, looking up through the darkness and the oscillating rainbow LEDs to see Keigo poised over him, hands gripping his shoulders with a devilish smirk on his face. 

“Fuck,” Toya mutters under his breath as he reaches up to cup the side of Keigo’s face, thumb tracing the stubble at his chin. His hand suddenly moves to grab a fistful of fabric at the neck of Keigo’s athletic compression shirt, yanking him down as he smashes their lips together. Hawks moans into the kiss, immediately melting, and Touya groans as he feels his partner’s entire weight settle on top of him.

“God, Kei,” Toya huffs as they grind against one another. “Door locked?”

Keigo’s feathers swirl, moving one of the chairs to prop up against the door handle, keeping it tightly closed. This way, they won’t be interrupted. 

“It is now,” Keigo chuckles darkly under his breath between passionate kisses. Toya’s tongue eagerly slips into Keigo’s mouth when their lips reconnect, the BlueFlame hero’s tongue piercing grazing the roof of the winged Pro’s mouth. Keigo almost gasps at the sensation, his own tongue desperately intertwining with his boyfriend’s. Their hearts pound, both men panting between longing kisses, each one more charged than the last. Toya reaches up, running his fingers through Keigo’s crimson feathers, and he tenses up with a sharp intake of breath, breaking the kiss and shuddering. Toya’s cerulean eyes glow in the shadows, peering behind a heavy-lidded gaze and thick lashes as he pulls Keigo closer once more.

“Wanna fuck you so bad,” Toya moans like a whore on Keigo’s tongue as their open-mouthed kisses become sloppy and passionate, lengthening with every lock of their lips. Their clothed erections rut against one another, getting harder by the second with every additional touch. 

“God, Toya,” Keigo groans, his voice lilting into a breathy whisper as the tips of his teeth graze the skin on Toya’s neck. Toya gasps, eyelids fluttering as Keigo tightly grips his shoulders, kissing his neck intently, dragging his tongue delicately across his skin. His hands grab at the bottom of Toya’s hoodie, pulling it up and over his head before Toya scrambles to get Keigo’s shirt off. 

“We’re really doing this?” Toya pants breathlessly with a tipsy smirk as he somewhat grasps the situation. Keigo, significantly more intoxicated, doesn’t seem to care. Instead, his response is:

“Facefuck me.”

“Are…are you sure?” Toya stammers, taken aback by Keigo’s straightforwardness. 

“Yeah, I’m sure,” Keigo sneers. In his drunken stupor, Keigo nearly slips and falls as he drops to his knees to unbutton and unzip Toya’s jeans. He pulls them down, wadding them up around his ankles before freeing Toya from his boxers, and, immediately, Keigo is grasping at Toya’s rapidly hardening cock. The white-haired hero’s back arches, and his mind swims with lust and alcohol as he spreads his legs. 

“Use me up, baby,” Keigo sneers, batting his golden eyes up at Toya with such sickeningly fake innocence it sends a chill down his spine. He opens his mouth, expectantly, tongue flat and out, mere millimeters away from the tip. Toya can feel his hot breath, staggered and teasing. He swallows a hiccup as he tentatively reaches down, running his fingers through Keigo’s tangled blonde hair. Keigo practically purrs at the gesture, rising up to ever so slightly lean into the touch. 

“Y-you lemme know if it gettssss uncomfortable,” Toya mumbles, trying to still cling on to any sort of sense left in his drunk brain. As much as he’d just love to go at it, he doesn’t want to do anything that Keigo will regret. Keigo blinks up at him like he’s impatient and wants Toya to get on with it. 

Toya takes a deep breath before he gently guides his head, and he gasps when Keigo wraps his mouth around his tip, gently suckling. 

“Fuck,” He sighs, his eyelids fluttering as he balls his fingers into a fist, carefully gripping the hair at the back of Keigo’s head as he forces him to take more of him, and Keigo whimpers; the vibrations feel so fucking good. A low moan falls from Toya’s lips as Keigo’s tongue tastes, and he steals a glance to see tears welling up in the winged Pro’s eyes as his nose presses into his pelvis. Toya’s eyes widen when he realizes he’s taking his dick all the way; he’s never done that before. Goosebumps trickle all over Toya’s skin as Keigo sucks, and he twitches when he feels the muscles in the back of his lover’s throat. He’s gonna ruin that seamless winged eyeliner that Keigo wears religiously. 

“You-fuck-you ready?” Toya whispers, and Keigo subtly nods. Carefully, Toya rocks his hips, gently fucking Hawks’ throat. His mouth hangs open, jaw slack and brows raising as he focuses on the sensation and the soft sounds of Keigo sucking. It feels so good…sex with Keigo always feels so good. No matter what they’re doing, it’s always so ethereal…pleasure enhanced by the raw intimacy and passion that they have with one another. Even when they’re not sober, Toya can still feel the connection, keeping him grounded to the world when his mind threatens to fade away into nothingness.

“That’s it, Kei,” Toya rasps, tenderly rutting into his mouth, warm and wet and fucking perfect. Tears drip down Keigo’s nose, eyeliner streaming down his face as he fights his gag reflex. Toya’s hips jolt when Keigo swirls his tongue just the right way, sending shivers down Toya’s spine. After a few minutes of agonizing pleasure, Keigo pulls back, lips slick and swollen, a string of drool still connecting his lips with Toya’s cock before he wipes it away with the back of his hand. He pushes himself to his feet before pulling off his pants and boxers. 

“Let’s do it. I’m gonna sit in your lap and ride you,” Keigo grins confidently, definitely more eager than he would’ve been sober. His walls are down, and he’s unashamed of everything.  

“Whoa-wait-no lube?” Toya blurts, sober enough to know that he doesn’t want to risk hurting Keigo. 

Keigo pauses before rummaging in the pockets of his discarded khakis. He pulls out a small, travel-size bottle with a sly smirk. 

“Pocket lube?” Toya snorts, amused. 

“Pocket lube,” Keigo grins, trying not to laugh and spoil the mood; it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve laughed during sex, but they’re trying to be discreet. The mood is promptly reignited when Keigo starts massaging the cold lube over Toya’s erection. 

Toya has to bite his lip to keep from moaning his boyfriend’s name as Keigo lowers himself down to Toya’s hilt, bottoming out. Toya leans forward, burying his face in the back of Keigo’s neck, chest pressing against Keigo’s wings. He runs his fingers atop the crimson arches, grabbing the tips of them as he stays flattened against Keigo’s back. The moment he starts rolling his hips, Keigo gasps.

“Shhhh. Not too loud, birdie,” Toya whispers, clasping his hand over Hawks’ mouth as his lover dissolves into pleasure, moans vibrating against his hand. Keigo starts bouncing on Toya’s cock, increasing the pleasure tenfold and making Toya curse under his breath. Keigo’s wings droop as he leans back, forcing Toya to recline against the couch cushion, moving himself so their heads are beside each other. Keigo reaches with one arm around the back of Toya’s head, making it so his hand snakes around to cover Toya’s mouth just as tightly as Toya covers his. The lovers muffle each other’s cries of pleasure; the only sounds permeating the air are the karaoke menu and the soft sounds of skin slapping against skin. Sweat beads on their foreheads as they become absorbed in it, indulging in the warmth of each other. The intimacy is electric, the skin-to-skin contact setting their nerves on fire. They muffle each other’s strangled noises, writhing against one another in sync. 

Knock. Knock. Knock. 

Keigo goes rigid, and Toya cranes his neck so his boyfriend’s hand falls from his mouth. 

“Still working on our last song choice!” Toya calls, trying not to give them away and hoping he doesn't sound as breathless as he feels; if they were back at the Agency, they wouldn’t be holding back. This…this is like a secret that the both of them are struggling to keep under wraps, the pleasure threatening to make the both of them boil over in ecstasy. 

“Ten minutes left! Then your timeslot is over!” The worker shouts in an irritated voice on the other side of the door. 

“Oh we’ll finish sooner than ten minutes,” Toya chuckles to himself, and Keigo rolls his eyes before deliberately rolling his hips. A low groan bursts from Toya’s lips, and he harshly bites his lip to try to be quiet as he grabs Keigo’s hip, brutally thrusting up into his guts. 

“Toya~,” Keigo clearly cries out from under Toya’s hand, and the way he says his name makes Toya’s cock throb. 

“Gonna come, Kei,” Toya pants, dangerously close, “inside?”

Keigo nods, and that’s all the confirmation Toya needs before he’s sailing over the edge, hips stuttering with each pump of come that paints Keigo’s insides. His toes curl, and his hand drops from Keigo’s mouth to wrap around his twitching cock. Keigo gasps, breath sharp and short, inhaling and exhaling through gritted teeth as he teeters to his own precarious climax. It only takes a few expert thrusts of Toya’s fist before the winged Pro crumbles. 

“Damn,” Keigo sighs, cheeks flushed and feathers puffed up. Toya promptly lets go of Keigo’s flagging erection, lewdly sucking the cum off his hand from Keigo’s orgasm. 

“Gross,” Keigo makes a face, and Toya rolls his eyes.

“It came out of you,” He flicks his boyfriend off, “Now…get off me before I get hard again.”

…

The two heroes left the private karaoke room, slipping out before they could be seen by the antsy staff, looking flustered and frazzled and thoroughly blissed-out, guilty smiles flashing. Once their Uber arrives in front of their Agency, Toya and Keigo stumble into the lobby, holding hands like honeymooners as they walk to the elevator. As soon as they reach the Penthouse, Toya grabs Keigo, rubbing his fist on the top of his head to muss up his hair. Keigo yelps, effortlessly shoving Toya away before sprinting to the bedroom. The fiery Pro follows, vaulting to tackle Keigo, and they both go sailing onto the bed. 

“Y’know we broke the law. On your birthday. Usually that’s a my birthday kinda thing,” Toya teases, and Keigo rolls his eyes as he squirms out of Toya’s grip. 

“Don’t act like you didn’t like it,” Keigo winks.

“Oh, I loved it,” Toya sneers before pressing a soft kiss to Keigo’s lips. Keigo gently kisses him back, cupping the side of Toya’s face as he deepens the kiss. 

“I love you,” Keigo whispers against Toya’s mouth, and Toya’s heart flutters.

“I love you, too, Kei.”

you guys remember the oneshots i drew pictures for forever ago? here's the kaz and oil one //tw for homophobia and interrupted f slur

Kaz & Oliver (pre-Decimation)

“Beautiful day, isn’t it?”

“It’s gray and disgusting.”

Kaz spat a little laugh. Oliver animatedly whirled around to shoot him a look.

Kaz waggled his fingers at him.

Oliver huffed, turning forward again.

Kaz grinned, kicking pebbles as his feet thumped on the sidewalk. 

It was a beautiful day, in fact. Cool, breezy, lively as well. Everyone was out it seemed. Parents pushed strollers, people paused to pet dogs being walked, and kids kicked soccer balls in Centium City Park. 

Kaz dodged the peanuts thrown at him in his regular routine. A lovely lady, Mrs. Dabney, held a grudge against him for accidentally scaring birds off that she was feeding a week after he arrived. This was their sweet little exchange whenever Kaz entered the park.

“I love you,” Kaz skipped over the light filtering through the trees. They were cutting through the park to get to the comic store that wasn’t nearly as good as the Domain but sufficed in its absence.

“No you don’t,” Oliver grumbled, folding his arms. 

Kaz laughed again.

“Do you want me to buy another one?”

“You can’t fix this,” he sniffed.

Kaz shrugged, continuing to trail behind his best friend.

“Buddyyyy,” Oliver ignored him.

What atrocity had he committed? Eating the last Philly Cheesesteak sandwich Chase had bought them a few nights ago because they made passing comments that they missed them. Bought was a light word. He’d gotten into a jet, casually flown to Philidelphia, and popped in an hour later with authentic sandwiches for the two boys.

Eating the last sandwich, yes. And he’d stained his polo, broken his lamp, read his feelings journal, and used his toothbrush. Silly things.

“C’mon,” Kaz poked his shoulder obnoxiously. “Commemorative “I Kazzed this up photo”?”

“No.”

“Ooh-kay,” Kaz shrugged. “I love youuu.”

“I know where you sleep.” 

Kaz snorted. He looked up at the sun for fun, squinting as long as he could.

“Hey!”

Both boys startled.

“Yeah?” Kaz turned. He flopped onto the nearest bench.

There was a group of four men. They gave Kaz a strange look.

“You’re Elite Force?”

“Yeup,” Kaz clicked his tongue. Oliver stood behind the bench, not forgiving Kaz for the slight but also not that thrilled about fans. He was far more reserved now than when he was younger. “Resident super-” Oliver planted a firm kick to his calf. “Bionic heroes.”

Murmurs. 

“So you are a sissy,” one of them said, curling his lip under his ratty baseball cap. His eyes unmistakably went to the rainbow flag patch that Skylar had ironed onto his jacket months ago.

Silence.

Kaz smirked.

“Bree’s the only sister, actually,” he shrugged. This would be fun. 

“You’re one of them.”

“I’m on the team, yes.”

They seemed to get frustrated with Kaz’s indignance, which was his exact plan.

“You slimy fa-”

“Hey!” 

Oliver’s eyebrows scrunched up angrily. Kaz’s smirk widened. The man who had almost let that word fly out of his mouth paused, looking at him. 

Oliver normally wasn’t a scary individual. He had soft swoopy blond hair and a face full of freckles. He typically preferred to have one of his teammates do the talking, sticking to the side and observing. It was very rare for him to raise his voice the past couple of years. Still, he began yelling all the same.

“What the hell makes you think you have the right to talk about someone like that?” Oliver demanded, jabbing a finger toward the group. “Do you seriously have no shame?”

The one he primarily addressed wrinkled his nose. “What, you his boyfriend or somethin’?”

“Oh god, no,” Oliver gagged. “I’d rather die, to be honest. It takes a special person to put up with him.”

“I’m telling Chase you complimented him-” Kaz whispered. Oliver drove his pointer finger into a pressure point on Kaz’s neck. “OW!”

“Anyway,” he refocused on the group. “You need to grow a damn pair and understand that us endangered heterosexuals can coexist with other people, jackass!”

Kaz giggled at their reddening faces, sitting back.

“I don’t want one of them protectin’ my city-”

“Move out, then,” Oliver firmly put his arms around Kaz’s shoulders from behind. “He might be an asshole, but he’s my favorite asshole, and that’s saying something because I know a lot of assholes! At least he isn’t bigoted and a public embarrassment at like… what are you guys, forty?”

The four men reddened further. They muttered more unkind words, kicked at twig at Kaz, then shuffled off.

“Yeah, keep walking,” Oliver waved. “Buh-bye.”

Kaz cackled. “Wowzers, Oli,” he looked up at him. “I’m gonna buy you Loopy-Loops.”

“With your sugar-boyfriend’s money,” Oliver quipped, stepping back so Kaz could stand up. 

“Do you want them or not?”

“Yes please.”

Kaz smiled, fishing his phone out of his pocket. He motioned for Oliver to follow him, headed toward their favorite grocery store. It was on the way to the comic shop, anyway.

Oliver started a step behind him when the phone was picked up.

“Hey, baby. What’s your card pin again?” Kaz hummed.

A beat of quiet on the other line.

“...What did you do?” Chase inquired, already sounding exasperated.

“Little ol’ me?” Kaz put a hand to his chest. “Nothing.” he slowed to be at pace with Oliver, reaching up to ruffle his hair. “Oliver deserves a sweet treat because he’s such a sweet boy.”

Oliver rolled his eyes, but his slightly upturned mouth corners gave him away. 

“Not even going to ask. Just get home without wrecking the city, okay?”

Kaz’s phone beeped with the texted pin. 

“No promises.”

He slung his arm around Oliver’s shoulder, strolling inside the sliding doors.

3 of my super hero kids, in their most recent re-designs; I've had them for about 15 years, first starting by making up characters and a story with my best friend back in middle/high school, and I've just always continued up-dating them over the years.

From the left-

-Cerberus (Jordan). A rebellious punk kid who can transform into a powerful beast with multiple limbs! In some ways, he resembles a typical idea of a bipedal werewolf, but there are other traits that make him unique. Across his body is not only dark fur, but thick scales (similar to a dragon), the tail being more serpent-like. From his shoulders, he can grow additional arms with claws (four total), change two arms so the wrists form into snake heads, or grow extra canine-like heads to truly resemble the mythical Cerberus. His true face has a pattern that makes it distinct and shows his human form. He's pretty strong, and VERY intimidating, and has an ability to recover from intense injuries while transformed (even broken bones... though, he isn't invulnerable). He's a risk-taker who like to cause a ruckus!

-Ferris (Ella). A sensible girl who also has a great sense of humor, she's a fun balance of down-to-earth and offbeat. She controls metal, able to move and re-shape it to fit her needs, even melting then reforming it. She's also able to use magnetic fields to "bounce" off, allowing herself to float. Her outfit is partially sleek, and partially chunky; smooth metal patterns wrap around her shoulders and arms, also down her back (following the spine), and forming a rib cage shape on her torso. She has a techno light-up mask with glowing eyes, that connects to headphones over her ears. Her pants are thick and baggy, with lots of metal loops, chains, and studs (so even if she doesn't have much metal to work with, she always has some on her). Ella is talkative, fun, and a genius with electronics/machines.

-Vivid (Rodney). A soft-spoken boy with powers of light energy. He can create glowing light, or use existing light waves, and use them like solid objects, making shimmering shapes. For movement, he can form stairs, or even a flat platform that he can stand on and travel through the air. For defense, he can make force fields and shields, blocking dangerous attacks, or saving people from falling objects. For offense, the light can be used as an energy blast, literally punching an enemy with a rainbow! Rodney has a loose-fit, large shirt with a wide collar that is solid black, but the fabric on his arms and legs are vibrant colors, in different gradients. He has reflective shades as a mask, also a full range of colors. Rodney needs to work on his confidence, but he's very creative.

DAILY BRAINROT

I've spent the last 2-3 days in a FVII Compilation fic-induced haze. This has done absolutely nothing except make me think about swords and creative ways to make blorbos suffer.

The mental image of Four wielding one of those giant swords is also now permanently ingrained in my mind.

Actually, you know what would be really cool? If the swords from FVII had spirits like Fi and Ghirahim. I think something like that would make me so happy I'd just keel over and die on the spot.

Tsurugi is a sword made out of swords so consider this my petition to make Four be the sword spirit for that one if anyone ever makes a crossover or fusion with LU. Like, technically it's made of 6 swords but we can fudge it and say that either the 2 extras are Dot and Shadow or that there are 4 swords instead. It's close enough. And think about how cool it would be if it was color-coded! You'd get to have a giant rainbow sword puzzle sword thing!!

Wild and Warriors and maybe Sky would make interesting SOLDIERs. (We're ignoring the reasons people become SOLDIERs for now because there's a lot about FFVII I don't know.) I don't know how to explain it, exactly, I just think they'd be a lot of fun to put in that situation just to see what happens. They're already terrifyingly competent heroes in canon, what would happen if they suddenly became enhanced and were living on a timer due to the imminent threat of degradation? Would they have regrets? Change their minds? Just keep going?

The brainrot has fused into an unholy amalgamation. I already don't have the means to play most LoZ games, much less the FVII ones. I don't know what I'm going to do with this now. I guess I'll just have to see what happens as I slowly lose my mind.

OOOH this is such a cool idea! i love the idea of Four with a GIGANTIC ass sword lakjslsjlks >:)
