Nate isolated himself in a egg shell white room of some random mansion looking over a tundra. He always liked this area of his first world. He was on the planet that he had first created when he started this latest universe. Or at least a replica of it since he was trapped on Equestria. He had teleported himself about one hundred miles from Equestria's borders and formed the mansion out of thing air on a cliff side over looking a steep decline in elevation with grass and pine trees. There was also a water fall that seemed to come from his basement, but that was natural.
The white room had a few pieces of basic furniture. A sofa or two, facing one wall that was composed of only glass and steel. He came here to collect himself, well that and because he wanted to sit around and eat ice cream for a little while. He held a small half gallon bucket of ice cream to his right on the sofa, a small silver spoon would scoop a bit of the chocolate ice cream then bring it to Nate's mouth.
All was silent, except for the slight hum that echoed through the house as water rushed below it. Nate was about half way through the ice cream when the silence was broken.
"Nate." A voice called, it was feminine, on a higher point of pitch. It was voice Nate hadn't heard since just before he was exiled. Nate turns on the small sofa and sees the reptilian face of one of his many sisters.
"Ah Delta, how good to see you." He says with an uneasy expression on his face and many questions on his mind.
"It's good to see you too, Beta. Or is it Nate, now?" Delta says noticing his uneasy expression. "From the look on that pony face of yours I can tell you clearly don't trust me."
"Really? You don't say!?"Nate says jumping up on the couch and climbing right over it. He approached the reptilian woman and despite being barely half her size, she backed away cautiously. "The last time you and I were in the same plane of existence you were voting for my execution!" Nate shouts, letting all his anger and memories flow.
"Well you're here today aren't you?" Delta says, looking him up and down.
"Why are you here?" Nate growls "Don't you have some lizards to care for? Or have the humans in your dimension exterminated that inferior race yet?"
Delta laughs and waves dismissively. "To you're obvious disapproval, they are still alive and well."
Nate grunts in annoyance. "Why are you here, Delta?"
She smiles lightly and begins to speak. "If you must know...." her smiles fades quickly. "...we're using you."
"'We'?" Nate asks, he now felt less annoyed and a bit more curious than he should be. "Who?"
"Alpha, Pox, and myself." Delta squeaks out quickly. Clearly nervous that her brother would become...violent.
"What are the three of you doing to me?" Nate asks his eyes lit up with a clear and burning anger.
Delta appears to be getting even more nervous. Her eyes began to dilate in intervals of about thirty to forty seconds between dilation. Nate could sense a slight fear in her voice. "We've been using you as a guinea pig for some...experiments. You see, we wanted to know how much we could do to you before you lost complete control of your mind.We've currently been repeating your exile and modifying small variables. This time we increased your capacity of emotion and sensitivity to the by roughly eighty percent above the norm."
Nate looks puzzled. "Why would you be doing that?"
"We wish to find out why your mind is more different than our own. For example you have to use vocal communication, the rest of us are capable of telepathy but choose to maintain vocal speech for the sake of not getting used to the telepathy." Delta says. "You appear to be able to process information quicker than most of us, your mind can handle many forms of stress and illness without difficulty, and you are unaffected by the demi-gods of the forty second dimension. We wish to know exactly why."
The demi-gods of the forty second are a strange lot. Nate had visited them once after a small accident had occurred, one of his brothers had intruded upon them when he accidentally opened a tear in his own universe and found theirs on the other side. The demi-gods were actually demi-gods however, they were beings of pure energy existing in a liquidized universe. They were very xenophobic, they would harm any intelligence that entered their universe including the gods like Nate and his family by invading their minds and forcing higher functions to shut down one by one until the mind was no longer active. Then they simply absorbed it and converted it to energy, when Nate went to retrieve his brother from their universe they attempted to do what they had started to on his brother and quickly found that he was invincible to their mental attacks.
The energy beings of the forty second dimension still fear Nate but are merciless towards any of his relatives who accidentally open a portal to their world. Nate has acted as the policeman of his family going from universe to universe whenever a conflict had begun and closing the tears after rescuing his family members. These conflicts were very rare and only happened after a very specific chain of nearly unpreventable events.
"You want to be able to fend off the energy beings?" Nate asks.
"No, we want to rid our universes of them. You've been said to have the ability not only to deter their attacks by fight back, we want to know how." Delta explained.
"And what do the ponies have to do with this?" Nate asks tilting his head to the right.
"They bear the same abilities, well at least certain ones. Like Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, and the Princesses." Delta says.
Nate considers this and nods. "I think I understand, what I don't quite get is why you wish to kill the energy beings. Why not just learn to defend against them?"
"Because then they will continue to be an annoyance whenever a portal to their dimension opens. We have controlled the fates of everything that has come into existence in our universes, why not them?" Delta asks him, her tone blank.
"Because we abide by our own unspoken rules, we don't punish a species that doesn't deserve it. These energy beings simply don't want us in their home, we should try a more peaceful solution before we simply obliterate them." Nate says feeling uneasy discussing the fate of a species that had never done much more than defend their home from outsiders.
"We've already decided, brother. They are to die." Delta says grimly as she walks to the window and looks down at the water.
Nate's expression turns to grim and annoyed. "I will have no part in their destruction."
"Actually you will." Delta says. "I only came here ot see if you would do so willingly. Clearly, I was mistaken, have a good time with the ponies, Nate.." She says disappearing.
Nate blacks out and is teleported back into bed with Pinkie Pie, his memory of the conversation purged from his mind.
