Then everyone think Sunset and Ash did some bed activities ti which the two stated they had not once done it but Sunset has seen Ash's place and was impress with what she saw. Everyone became curious about Ash place which was a penthouse apartment with some good quality items such as a few paintings, some warrior armors/weapons,books,statues and technology she had never seen plus the rooms were built in a way to meet the inhabitants needs, Ash then explain it is part of the perks for working for Trace Gasher which nearly made Sunset faint then she asked what is Ash job to which he said he is a private contractor. Everyone was impressed with Ash and how Ash managed to get a job with Trace Gasher to which Ash said that he was one Mr.Gashers first employee. Then suddenly Ash would receive a call which would lead him to leave Canterlot high immediately which made everyone curious because they all saw a look on Ash's face and in his eyes, the look Ash had on his face was the look of someone who was facing a family emergency. We cut to a meet built like governmental meeting but it is with people with different jobs/careers, as the people debated what to do about an incident that had arisen then someone unexpected had entered the it turns out to be Trace Gasher and the people in the meeting were his employee's including Delilah,Nolan and Netrunner but however we do not hear Gashers voice or see his face but somehow everyone in attendance knows what he is think then Mr.Gasher bring forward his plan to deal with the problem, however his staff think it is to risky and if Mr.Gasher goes through we his plan there is no going back and they may learn about Mr.Gashers true nature but Mr.Gasher thinks it is the only way to solve the problem then he speaks state it is time to out of the shadows no more hide. The next morning a lot of people including the students of Crystal prep and Canterlot high as well as the human seven but the students see no sign of Ash. A employee of Trace Gasher named Jagged Edge would why everyone has gather here and had questions about an explosion that happened at the docks, one who would be answering their questions is someone many people wanted to meet for a long time the founder and CEO of Dragonic solutions and sibling company Trace Gasher which got everyone in the crowd excited Edge would also state for the last twenty year you would also know him by another name, meanwhile as Mr.Gasher get ready to walk on stage he takes a deep breath hoping he is ready set his plan in motion. As Mr.Gasher's name is called he walks onto the stage, then the other name Trace Gasher goes would shock everyone because the other name he goes by is none other than Asphalt Tar.After thanking Edge for introducing him Ash would address the many question everyone has starting verifying his identity Twilight realized the last time anyone saw Trace Gasher he a full beard and hair the went to his neck to which Ash said he had not worn the look in a long time thus confirming Ash's identity but Mr.Rich would the question that was on everyone's mind what caused the explosion at the docks which Mr.Rich thinks Mr.Gashers products finally have become defective to which Ash said if only if it were that simple in fact Ash states that it was a bomb that caused the explosion shocking everyone and to add more shock Ash would state there six dirty bombs set to go off at Serpent Shipments, Gargoyles Security,Fire Drake Repair, Wyrm Railroad, Wyvern Airline and Dragonic Technical caledgent, after hearing this the crowd realizes that if the bombs went off Trace Gasher would have face a corporate collapse and every person in proximity to the fall out sites would become collateral damage, now the crowd is asking how the bombs were diffused to which Ash said it is because all cargo that passes through any of branch of dragonic solutions goes a complete inspection three time and if even one inspection fails to get approval that is when there is trouble and that is what happened yesterday one of Ash's employees found a extra shipping container and found a small patch of radiation being emitted from inside the container, luckily all six bombs had all radiation removed however only five of the six bombs were diffused by time the sixth bomb Jagged Edge little brother Sharp Edge sacrificed his life to save his friends and family which would touch every heart in the crowd. Then the crowd would who is responsible to Ash it was the Naga Syndicate one of two criminal organizations still left in the world, the crowd then asked what they would be targeting Ash because before how formed Dragonic Solutions Ash helped bring down every criminal organization in the world and is how the Naga syndicate and the demon imperial circle the only two criminal organizations were formed and for the criminals that could not join either one of the criminal organizations Ash gave them a second chance at live and people like Jagged Edge have been working for Ash ever since. Then people began to hear gun but it turns out to be energy shot from Ash employees from Gargoyle security, the crowd then learns Ash was using himself as bait to lure in the Naga Syndicate in order to bring it down once in for all, the Naga Syndicate then threaten Ash by exposing information about Ash family which peaked the crowds interest. Ash then grabbed the man in charge of the assassintion attempt on Ash's life state you may think you know everything about Ash but everything not what it seems then lead assassin who's name is Hollow Husk recognized a pin on Ash's caller realizing it is the logo of the demon imperial circle believe that Ash is a member but in reality he is the demon emperor the head of the demon imperial circle, Husk the would give the incriminating records about Ash family, one of Ash ancestors was an outlaw named Trailblazer and his great grandfather was a nazi which shocked everyone one but then Sunset asked Ash hold old is he after Sunset asked the question everyone realized the men in the photos were actually Ash himself. After the true nature of Ash being revealed or has? Every person that some kind of connection to Ash revealed more information about Ash which shocked Husk realizing there even more information Ash such as one name Ash had was Golden Archer the former police commission of Canterlot city and photos of Ash in a NAZI uniform was part of his cover being an allied forces spy named Clayburge and Trailblazer was the name Ash went by when he was a vigilante bounty hunter. Before Ash explain more about his past he first showed what members of the demon imperial circle do everyday, one would think they are smuggler, thieves, assassin's, gun runners but in reality under Ash leadership the Demon Circle is a crime enforcer organization it's everyday job make tame crime then Ash would give a tour of all his company facilities to give the people a taste of what Ash's company makes and what it's end. At the end of the tour Ash lead his friends and the reporters to a storage unit which was much much bigger on the inside and they were in awe with what they were see for it was storage unit for historical artifacts then Edge would the information that was given about Ash's past was only for the last three hundred years and then Ash's employees would drop one of two information bombs, the first information bomb is about Ash's age, you would believe Ash is a little over three hundred years but in reality Ash is almost six thousand years. Ash then states his accurate age five thousand eight hundred, after hearing Ash real age nearly made everyone pass out from shock. Then as everyone returned to where the crowd gathered Husk broke free and use a shotgun on Ash face, everyone believed Ash was dead and blame his security for fail to protect him to which they said Ash was warned and if was his own fault for letting guard down and being a pain lover, then everyone heard a strange voice then they all turned see it was Ash alive have his wound from the shotgun healing in an instant which shock everyone again, this everyone must seeing things, to ensure them the what they saw was real Ash pulled out a pistol and put his hand front of the barrel then pulls the trigger making a hole in hand healing in an instant proving to everyone that what they saw was real. Another surprise would appear in the form of a soldier that Ash recognized as an old subordinate named Iron Bone. Everyone then asked what connection Ash has with the military aside from being a military tech supplier plus being a private military contractor and has had thirty years of military service since the end of world war three. Iron then explains why he is here, it was to notify Ash that he was being called back to Crown Cannon by request of the trident veterans, after receiving the order he was dressing in hybrid which was a reward for military service, now along with Sunset they depart for Crown Cannon.
