Steels cheeks turned red, "I... I ... Uhh" he fumbled for the right words to say. "Dont mean it to, just teaching you good manners is all." Rose said pompously. Oakly looked at Kane with a blank stare, "I only wished to succeed my Father in his fight to repel evil, and save those who are caught in its Nightmares." He turned around a walked off. Shadow sighed, "Colts just like his father, in looks and personality, its almost scary."

Steel looked up into her eyes, "What is it?" Imediatly Souls face was back on the floor and Rose sitting triumphantly on his head, "You asked for it Handsome." "Then I ask that you leave her to me, shes already proven herself too strong for most of you, and Kanes focus needs to be on Silent. My Father warned me about the Nightmare, and I will not let it claim the life of an innocent, so long as I still breath." Oakly said sternly, his eyes burning with determination.

"Your right, your alive and thats what matters." Steel said as he sat in a chair next to Ashs bed. "Im gonna say sexual frustration more than anything." Trax commented, Rose shrugged, "What can I say, its been awhile." "Thats not true, Killjoy wasnt the only one, my wife had the Nightmare hundreds of years before Killjoy. She was practically born with it, and shes had complete control over the Nightmare for the past 500 years." Shadow pointed out, "But Radz is right, at such a young age Hazel is at more risk to others and herself. Do we know how she was possessed?" Oakly felt a knot tighten inside him, he wasnt going to let this Nightmare beat him, he could face her easily. An image of Hazel crossed his mind, she was beautiful .... and frightened, did she even know whats possessed her?

Steel dippped his head to her, "I only made sure you were okay, I guess I failed since you are hurt." Rose giggled, "With a father as mine, you were never loved. Only my own emotions guided me, however blindly they are." "If you can take Silent, I will personally take on Silents daughter, and make sure she is handled while Silents Army is destroyed." Oakly promised.

Rose shrugged, "Tomato tomaato." Steel walked into Ashes room, "How are you feeling?" He asked politely, his left hoof was in a sling, broken when he rescued Ash. Oakly stood in the Throne hall, "Its the Nightmare curse, Silents daughter has it. Shes nothing to be trifled with either, from what I could feel, she had more power than any other Silents had under him. I dont even think Silent knows what hes dealing with, or that shes now as powerful as he is, shes more dangerous because shes unpredictable." He reported out loud.

"Are you expecting me to grobble for your forgiveness?" Trax asked her unwaving by the cold accusation. Rose hoped up, "Seems Trax learned from his mistakes since his Son, Oakly, now has the same ability he refused to teach Radz. I mean right now your just starting off from when you died, so technically your you in the past. Your spirits are wiser than you are now, even more powerful than I could make you. I dont care if I live or die, I dont care about my memory throughout history, I'm just here to have fun. Nothing more, nothing less."

Rose slipped over to Killjoy nuzzling up cheek to cheek, "Oh I really hope it does Killy, its such a rush knowing that everything can come down at any moment. In truth I just want to see chaos and death spread like a virus!" She slumped onto the floor laughing. Trax rolled his eyes, "I think I'm more angry at myself for not sensing the disorder, especially when its her."

Rose layed down acting all amazed putting her chin on her hooves and spread her eyes wide, "Oh please tell me more, exactly what do you believe my master plan is?"

Rose burst out in laughter, "You think I'm trying to control Hazel, no I'm letting her loose! Honestly Killjoy I thought you to be smarter, the Nightmare can only be controled by the afflicted person. Seriously dear think before you act, assuming anything just looks bad on you darling." She stopped as another power surge burst from Trax as he kept raising his power, "You will get whats coming to you Rose, thats a promise!" He said icily, Rose smiled slyly, "Coming from you, thats a promise I hope comes true." Trax calmed down letting out a deep exhale, "Silent will turn on you after he realizes what you've done to his daughter, its only a matter of time."

The black floor and ceiling cracked and crumbled under the pressure as Traxs power burst out, he let out a deep growl, his power rose signifcantly as his anger grew, "You did WHAT!" He yelled with rage. Rose held out her hoof and caught a little rubble, "Amazing, all your power throughout your entire life combined, Im impressed at even myself." She stood up and chuckled, "Yes I did, little Hazel doesnt realize it yet but she is the offical return of the Nightmare." Trax gritted his teeth, "Shadows wife was the last, she could control it. After Killjoy, the Nightmare was gone, its darkness was gone from Equestria! That poor little filly is cursed now because of you!" As he spoke a blue aura surrounded Trax like a saphire fire, his energy power becoming physical. Arial sat up in distraught, "What the devil was that? I've never seen such power in someone so young." Oakly stood staring off towards the direction of Silents army, "I've heard rumors of such darkness, but I thought it was all but gone, now its returned." He turned to the others, "Hold still, I'm taking you back to the Crystal Empire." He said spreading out his hooves and they flickered away.

Hazel laughed sadistically, "Hold on father, their still moving..." Hazel zipped in front of Ash grabbing her by the neck, "Your leg wont be the only thing broken." She began giggling as she raised her hoof holding a green sphere, suddenly Steel rushed in grabbing Ash in his hooves and slid away on his back holding her, Hazel smirked, "Not so fast-" she was cut off as a kuni hit the green sphere erupting in a large explosion. The smoke cleared with Hazel still unscaved, "Oh, not darn we? I do love a colt with stamina." She said slyly turning to face Oakly, his clothing and armor were ripped and tattered, a couple scrapes scatted his body. "Your power is'nt natural, its effecting you psychologically, tread carefully." Oakly spoke sternly but had a hint that he cared a little, he put his hooves together and he flickered away along with Steel and Ash, the other elementals vanished as well. Hazel scoffed with a snort of disbelief, suddenly her eyes flickered back to normal and a scared look crossed her face, "What happened... I blacked out and .... Father?"

Oakly held his hoof out blocking the blast but slid back, "Daughter?" Suddenly Oaklys neck hairs stood up as he felt a strong presence behind him, he looked up seeing Silents daughter right above bringing her hoof down on him. The hit cleared the area fast and created a large crater. Oakly flickered a ways away but was caught off guard as the young mare appeared before him, rushing him with a green sphere, Oakly put his hoof up again blocking it but underestimated her power. He was carried back by the green sphere crashing into a nearby mountain side. Hazel grinned as her eyes grew slit and her personality changed, "Daddys little is awake now, Handsome stud." She giggled gleefully as her eyes glowed green. Hazel zipped in front Ash grabbing her by the mane and flung her down to the ground, "ASH!" Steel yelled as he flew at the strange young mare, Hazel zipped above him to his surprise and eblowed him in the back hard sending him down like a rocket. She then appeared between Nara and Sting bashing their heads together, Laxus manage to dodge her with his speed but was clothes lined by her back leg as she predicted his next movement. Arial flew in blocking Hazels green sphere but lost her breath as Hazel gut checked her hard, she finished by spin kicking her down into the ground. Hazel landed next to Silent admireing her handywork, "Well father, impressed?" She asked looking back at him with a sadistic look in her eyes.

Suddenly Oakly appeared before them, "I can sense her power even next to yours, and thats saying something, considering she beats out every other lacky you've had. Even Uchia." He began coldly making no move to attack, "How?" Arial raided through the back ranks sending strong slicer winds through the horde. Steel fired metal needles from his mouth upon the horde, Laxus rained down strikes of lightning randomly on the horde. Nara and Sting raced through the horde roaring their elemental breaths everywhere.

Arial and the others waited patiently in hiding, Oakly stood a ways back watching from a distance. "Alright Ash, put up a wall of fire and stop them." Hazel kept close to her father, her ears could pick hushed whispers, she could smell strange scents. "Father, I think theres someone out there."

((Suree))

Ally dipped her head to Ash then headed off in the other direction.

"Honey, I fell in love with a pony who was more unpredictable than the universe itself. I was the one who was broken, he slept with me to make me feel better, gave me his love to help me. Unkown to him he fell for me too, but in the end he loved his wife more, but I still loved him the same. I do know sometimes you gotta be straightforward with Stallions, put it all out on line and take that leap of faith. If you catch my drift." Ally added with a wink.

"Thats cause hes a military dog, special forces type, he's trained to keep his emotions hidden. His heart has steel casing around it, you just gotta melt your way though to him. Plus he needs somepony to keep his PTSD in check, he's got a pretty bad case from what I can tell." Ally told her.

"Call it a Mares intuition, question is do you like him? Judging by your rosy cheeks, I'd say a defininte yes." Ally said prodding at a dummy.

Steel looked at Ash for a moment with narrowed eyes, "Arial wants us at the top of the tower at dusk, I'll see you there Ash. Just know you can talk to me about anything alright." He told her before walking away. "I think he likes you." Allys voice came from behind Ash.

"And Im making sure that those I fight beside have a clear head. I've seen what happens when a team member is consumed by hatred, I've wittnessed what happend to his fellow team members, and its never a pretty sight." Steel told her.

((Yeah)) Steel caught some of the debris, "Anger can be a powerful motivator, but it also comes with a price. As does vengeance."

Oakly frowned as he found his emotions in conflict with each other, he hoped down from his perch and walked out feeling distraught. Once got through the doors to outside and half way down the stairs he realized something, he was envious, jealous of what Kane and Autumn had. Oakly shook his head clear and stomped the ground in frustration, he then spread his wings and flew off into the sky.

Shadow smirked at little brother finally finding love after so long, he thought about Echo and his children, praying they were safe. Azure and Dawn bowed respectively to them before leaving to rest. Oakly felt a pang of sorrow for them not being able to have foals, but he pushed the thought away deciding he was too young to understand their pain.

"No brother, we'll just have to be careful next time." Shadow said shaking his head. "If they do, my water type jutsu will be most effective there, leave them to me should it come to that." Oakly said from his perch, Azure glanced at him actually getting annoyed at the fact that this colt was acting all high and mighty. Even if he was the son of his late Mentor. "We'll do our best to be sure it wont come to that Sire." He began looking back to Kane.
