//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Books // Story: The Books of The Multi-Video-Verse 1: The Portal to The Multiverse // by ChaoticaHarmonica321 //------------------------------// -In the world Assaski jumped into- "Hmm, so the books weren't playing visual tricks," Assaski muttered under his breath. "At least I could have a reunion, then maybe ask Mario or sonic of the books." Assaski swiftly sneaked up on what the 6 friends were doing. "Shadow, give it up! You're not gonna beat Mario at cards." Sonic said in a aggravated tone. I wonder how long they've been at this for him to be in such a mood. "Oh yeah? Then look at my deck." Shadow said in a laughable tone. As soon as Shadow said that, Assaski felt the trick Shadow played. "WHA- HO- WAIT, WHAT?!" Sonic said, too shocked to say much more. "Mamma Mia!" The Mario Bros. Sadly said. "WAAa! Grrrr..." Yoshi yelled. "Shadow, I bet you cheated! How about a fight between you and Mario? you both have your skills, so there are no rules!" Silver chimed. "Hold it!" Assaski shouted. "Wait, wait, WAIT!" Sonic shouted. "Who are You?" "Mario, have you never told them about me?" Assaski calmly joked. "Sonic, Shadow, and Silver, I remember last time you were together. What happened this time?!" he asked. "We were just coming for a-" Sonic was cut off by Shadow. "How did you know who we are and when we were together!? Answer me!" Shadow yelled as he charged at Assaski. "You do not even know who I am yet you try to fight." Assaski said as he swiftly dodged. "Call me Ski. And I guess Mario will be the one to explain of the multi-dimension warrior I am." So the group sat down and they began to all convey their life stories, with Mario doing both his and Assaski's stories [THAT is a story for another time]. -In Equestria- The Mane 6, Screwball, Zany, Mothball, and Discord busted through Princess Celestia's doors a few minutes after she sent the letter. Celestia and Luna had excruciatingly worried looks on their faces. When Discord saw it, he knew what was wrong. "Let me guess," He said in a worried tone. "Him Again?" "I am sorry, but yes, its Him." Celestia replied. This made Discord's face fill with even more worry than the Princesses. "THEN WHY DID YOU SAY TO BRING THE KIDS?!" Discord shouted in pure rage. "THEY COULD GET HURT, OR WORSE, GET KI-" Discord was cut off by Fluttershy. "Don't say that near the kids, Honey!" Fluttershy scolded. "Oops, sorry about that." Discord replied. "What is it, Celestia? Who is Him?" Twilight begged. "OOH, it MUST be the new pony in my Pinkie Senses!" Pinkie Pie cut in. "WHAT!?!?!?!" Everyone but Pinkie shouted. "Darling, can you feel how powerful they are?!" Rarity frighteningly prompted. "Eh, I bet we can take em!" Rainbow Dash joked. "What in tarnation are we supposed to do if they are more powerful than Celestia?!" Apple Jack grumbled. "Let's just hope that He is not that powerful..." Twilight said thoughtfully. "Yes, let's just do that." Einna sighed. "No kidding, let's just make it quick." Eternal Sleep mumbled to himself. -Back with Assaski- "So, why did you come here today Ski?" Sonic wondered. "I came for 3 books, 6 from each of you." Assaski said. "You read my MIND?!" Sonic said, taken aback "I almost forgot I could." Assaski abruptly replied. "Anyway... I guess you recently found them all and didn't say much on it, have you? If you have them, we have a universe on our hands." "OH YEA!!!" Mario and Luigi happily chimed in unison, giving Assaski the Mushroom Books 1 and 3. "Let's do this!" Sonic and Silver shouted with joy, giving him the Emerald Books 1 and 3. "Yahahahoo!" Yoshi yelled contemptuously, tossing him Mushroom Book 2. "Arrg... Alright." Shadow said complimentary, giving in Emerald Book 2. "Time to open the Portal!" Assaski told them, fulfilling his end. "And time to save the universe!!!" They said in unison. Assaski opened the portal, and saw the next destination. He knew this place, and he knew he had to face his old past. "Let's go." Assaski quietly said. And off they all went into the portal.
