Pinkie always wondered why she had weird memories and weird abilities. As it turned out she's the reincarnation of a human named Monkey D. Luffy. And it turns out she wasn't the only reincarnation.
Pinkie Pie always had weird abilities, not only that but she always had weird memories. Memories belonging to a human named Luffy. However when somepony tries to kidnap Fluttershy, she learns what's really going on. She is the reincarnation of Monkey D. Luffy, a human from another universe who ate something called a Devil's Fruit and she isn't the only reincarnated Devil Fruit eater.
They are called Devil's Reincarnations. And a group of them want to take over Equestria but first they want Fluttershy since she a rare ability called Haoshoku Haki. Because of who Pinkie was in her past life it's up to her to stop them! But she's not alone, with the aid of her friends as well new and old friends she'll be able to stop them and save Equestria!
Pinkamena “Pinkie” Diane Pie had a secret, a secret that she was never wanted to tell anyone. After all, her parents pretended she didn’t have it, and her sisters… well they were supportive but in the end she didn’t care about sharing it. After all, it was strange even for her… and she didn’t even understand it. Though to be fair she didn’t care about understanding it.
Little did she know that secret was going to come out, and she was finally going to know what it was… what she was… or rather who she was in another life…
It all started one day when Gummy was sick, so she decided to take him to Fluttershy. He was coughing and wheezing, the poor baby alligator was unable to breath.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
“Oh Gummy.” Sighed Fluttershy as she took care of the baby alligator.
“Is he going to okay?” asked Pinkie who was watching what was going on.
Fluttershy nodded. She asked Gummy to open his mouth, then she reached in and pulled out a deflated balloon.
“This was making him sick.” Sighed Fluttershy.
“Gummy! I told you stop eating balloons.” scolded Pinkie, “You know what happens when you do!”
Gummy on the other hand just stood there, blinking in his usual way.
“Oh I can’t stay mad at you.” Said Pinkie before she hugged Gummy.
She looked at Fluttershy, “I can’t thank you enough.” Said Pinkie, “I know! A party!”
“You don’t have to.” Said Fluttershy.
“But you’re my friend!” said Pinkie, “And you just saved Gummy’s life!”
Fluttershy smiled… she knew there was no stopping Pinkie when she was like this.
That was when there was a knock on the door.
“I bet it’s someone else who needs help for their pet.” Said Pinkie.
Fluttershy opened the door to find a rather large yellow earth pony stallion with a spring for his cutie mark standing there.
“So are you Fluttershy?” asked the earth pony.
Fluttershy squeaked which sounded like a yes.
“So, is it true you have that thing called “The Stare”?” asked the pony.
Fluttershy once again squeaked, which vaguely sounded like a yes.
“Well then, you’re coming with me!” yelled the stallion.
He grabbed Fluttershy. Fluttershy tried to struggle but the Earth Pony was too strong.
“Hey!” yelled Pinkie glaring at the stallion, “Stop it!”
“What, are you going to stop me?” asked the stallion.
“You bet I am!” yelled Pinkie.
The stallion rolled his eyes, and then lifted up his fore hoof which suddenly turned into a metal spring. He then used his new spring leg to punch Pinkie into a wall.
“Pinkie!” cried Fluttershy.
The stallion began to laugh.
“There’s no way that a little pest like you can stop me… so give up.” said the stallion, “With the exception of that Stare of yours, there’s nothing that you can do.”
Fluttershy began to tremble… what was she going to do… but then again he did hurt Pinkie… but would he be effected by the stare… she just didn’t know what to do.
“Hey!” yelled Pinkie, getting up as if she hadn’t been hit, “Why are you kidnapping Fluttershy?”
“Because she’s the only pony in all of Equestria who was born with this thing called Haoshoku Haki that isn’t a Devil’s Reincarnation!”
“That’s none your business… just let me have the filly and I won’t have to beat you.” Said the stallion.
“I won’t let you get Fluttershy!” yelled Pinkie.
Pinkie didn’t want to tell Fluttershy this but she had the “Stare” as well. In fact, she could use it even better than her. Though it wasn’t much better, she could still control when it happened, unlike Fluttershy.
Then Pinkie unleashed the stare. The stallion fell over, however it seemed like he was used to it. He let go of Fluttershy, and she ran behind Pinkie, somehow getting the feeling that she’d be safe.
“How can you have it…” said the stallion, “How can you have Haoshoku Haki… you’re not a…”
That was when it hit him… the fact she was unhurt, she couldn’t be one.
“Tell me…” said the stallion, “Do you ever have dreams or memories that don’t belong to you, but rather a creature called a human?”
“What would you know about that?” asked Pinkie wondering how he knew about that. After all, there was only one other pony who knew what a human was, and that pony was a friend of hers.
“So you’re one too… a Devil's Reincarnation!” said the stallion, “What did you go by in your memories?”
“Why do you want to know?” asked Pinkie.
“It’s probably just some nobody.” Said the stallion, “Then tell me what your super power?”
“How do you know about that!” yelled Pinkie, getting more confused at what was going on, especially since only her family knew about that.
“All Devil’s Reincarnation are born with them…” said the stallion, “So what’s yours? Or do I have to force it out of you?”
Pinkie gritted her teeth, she had no choice to tell him.
“I can stretch.” Muttered Pinkie.
“You can stretch…” laughed the Stallion then it hit him, “What?”
“I just said I can stretch…” said Pinkie.
The stallion began to freak out… he knew that power only belonged to one person in the past life…
“Wait… were you… I mean, in your dreams. Did you go by Luffy?” asked the stallion.
“Yes, how did you know?” asked Pinkie.
The stallion began to freak out, “No way! I’m not fighting you again! Sorry for bothering your friend.” Said the stallion.
The stallion fled. He knew that even though she didn’t known what a Devil’s Reincarnation was, she still had his abilities and memories. There was no way was he was going to fight her.
“Geesh, what was that about?” asked Pinkie.
“You can use the stare?” asked Fluttershy.
“Oooops.” Said Pinkie.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Fluttershy’s animals cleaned up the mess as Pinkie explained it to her.
“Ever since I can remember I always had something else’s memories.” Said Pinkie.
“What do you mean something else?” asked Fluttershy.
“It’s this weird monkey thing called a human. I have dreams where I’m one and I have these cool powers and go on these awesome adventures…” said Pinkie.
“Oh wow.” Said Fluttershy.
“It’s not just dreams but I also have those powers.” Said Pinkie.
She blew herself up like a balloon, then stretched her fore leg.
“Why didn’t you ever tell us?” asked Fluttershy.
“My parents… didn’t like it.” Said Pinkie, “They would stop talking to me whenever I used my powers. Granny Pie always told me they didn’t understand and my sisters liked, but…”
Pinkie tried not to cry as tears started to spill from her eyes.
Fluttershy understood that, because her parents shunned her, Pinkie decided to hide her powers.
“It’s okay Pinkie.” Said Fluttershy, “Really, I’m sorry.”
“Thanks.” Said Pinkie wiping away her tears.
Pinkie decided to change the subject.
“That guy… I know him.” Said Pinkie.
“You met him before?” asked Fluttershy.
“Sort of… there was another guy just like that in my dreams. Same powers too.” Said Pinkie, “Luffy beat him up with one punch.”
“He did!” said Pinkie as she pointed in a random direction, “To the library!”
Fluttershy blinked then shrugged.
The two went to the library leaving Gummy behind.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
When they got there they found Twilight once again resorting books.
“Seriously Twilight, you need to get a new hobby.” mumbled Spike.
“Hi Twilight!” yelled Pinkie, surprising Twilight which made her drop the books.
“Oh hi Pinkie… Fluttershy…” said Twilight unsure how to respond.
“What’s up?” Asked Spike.
“We’re trying to see if there’s a book about, what was it?” said Pinkie who couldn’t remember the phrase.
“Devil’s reincarnation.” said Fluttershy.
Both Twilight and Spike were surprised, both of them knew what a Devil’s Reincarnation was in a very personal way.
“I’ll go get the books.” Said Spike, unsure if he should.
“Why do you need the book?” asked Twilight.
Fluttershy nodded at Pinkie.
“I need you and Spike to Pinkie promise you won’t tell anypony.” Said Pinkie.
Spike came back with the book having heard about the Pinkie Promise.
“Cross my heart and hope to the fly, stick a cup cake…” said Twilight who wasn’t able to finish it as she jabbed herself in the eye… again.
“You okay?” asked Spike.
“I’m fine.” said Twilight, blinking to get rid of the pain.
“Well you see I took Gummy to Fluttershy’s…” said Pinkie, as she began to tell them what happened as well as the fact that it turned out she might be one of these Devil Reincarnations the stallion kept mentioning…
“Wait… you’re a Devil’s Reincarnation?” asked Spike who became silent, “Now that I think about it, I’m not surprised.”
“Wait, the Pinkie Sense…” said Twilight as she began to face hoof, “Kenbunshoku Haki… of course I should have known.”
“How do you know so much?” asked Pinkie.
Twilight sighed. She had promised Princess Celestia that she would keep it on the down low. After all, it wasn’t uncommon for ponies to shun things they didn’t understand (considering what Zecora went through, she kept it even more hidden) as well as THAT incident, but she pushed it to the back of her mind. But considering what just happened, she had to tell them.
“I’m one too.” Sighed Twilight.
“What?” asked Pinkie, “But you don’t have super powers! Unless you’re super magic is your super power.”
“I hid mine.” Said Twilight.
That was when a lavender hoof sprouted on the floor shocking Fluttershy.
“Hey! I know that power, that’s the same powers as Robin’s.” said Pinkie.
“I guess we knew each other in the past life.” Said Twilight somewhat nervous.
“What? Past life?” asked Pinkie.
“She still doesn’t know anything.” Pointed out Spike.
“Oh right.” Said Twilight, “Do you know what reincarnation is?”
Pinkie shook her head, “What’s that?”
“When somepony dies, their soul still exists and is reborn as a new pony.” Said Twilight, “A Devil’s reincarnation is a pony whose soul comes from a person from either another planet or another universe. Nopony knows the answer, but the one thing they all have in common is that they all ate a magical fruit known as a Devil Fruit that gave them special powers. Not only do they have the abilities of their past self, but also their memories and certain personality traits. About every 100 years during a five year period they’re born. Nopony knows what the cause is, but it’s a cycle.”
“Wait…” said Pinkie, “That means that I was Luffy?”
“Yes…” said Twilight, “Wait, did you just say Luffy?”
“Yeah…” said Pinkie.
Twilight began to face hoof, why didn’t she see it before, it was so obvious.
The irresponsible behavior, the short attention span, the fact she could eat twice her weight and not get sick. She should have known.
“What’s wrong?” asked Fluttershy.
“They were like family in their past lives.” Explained Spike, “When I was little I used to hear stories all the time about Luffy… though I guess it was pretty obvious.”
“Wait! That means we’ve been friends even before we were born!” said Pinkie.
“That’s right.” Said Twilight who managed to realize what it really meant.
The two hugged but then both of them realized something.
“Wait? Why were they after Fluttershy?” asked Twilight.
“The guy said that it’s because of the stare.” Said Pinkie.
“I always thought it was Haoshoku Haki.” Said Twilight, “You think he’ll show up again?”
“No… because that guy was what’s his name…” said Pinkie.
Twilight stared at Pinkie, “That’s not helping.”
“You know, the guy with the spring powers... the one who beat up Chestnut head…” said Pinkie.
“Bellamy…” said Twilight, “Why would he want Fluttershy?”
Twilight begin to think, but couldn’t understand it… it didn’t make any sense.
She had a really bad feeling abut that.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Meanwhile, at a shack deep in the Everfree Forest, the stallion arrived.
“Why weren’t you able to get the filly?” asked a female sandy brown earth pony with what appeared to be a mound of sand as her cutie mark.
“Sorry, but another Devil’s Reincarnation showed up… one I can’t fight against…” said the stallion.
“Really Coil?” asked a light blue Pegasus stallion with a lighting bolt as his cutie mark, “Somepony you couldn’t stand up against?”
“Who is this devil’s reincarnation you couldn’t stand up against?” asked a pure black female unicorn with a black mane with what appeared to be some sort of hole as her cutie mark.
“Luffy’s reincarnation.” Answered the stallion named Coil.
There was an awkward silence.
“What? Seriously?” asked the light blue Pegasus.
“So what’s his name?” asked a silver earth pony stallion with a sword as his cutie mark.
“Actually, it was a mare.” Said Coil.
“So the great Monkey D. Luffy, KING of the Pirates, is now a mare… that’s hilarious!” Laughed the light blue Pegasus.
Both the black unicorn and the brown earth pony glared at him. He might have been the reincarnation of one of the most powerful devil fruit users but he was no match for those two.
And yes, both of them were men in their past lives, and that was a sore topic for them.
“You didn’t even know what a king of the pirates was until we told you.” Muttered the brown earth pony.
The Pegasus stopped laughing, “And I told you I have! But I thought it was something else.” Muttered the Pegasus.
“So what did the mare look like?” asked a rather fat earth pony stallion with a plate of food as his cutie mark.
“She was pink with a pink mane and three balloons for her cutie mark.” Said Coil.
“You have got to be kidding me.” Muttered the black unicorn.
“What?” asked Coil.
“It was already a problem going after Fluttershy and maybe turning her against Princess Celestia. But having another one of the Elements of Harmony being a Devil’s Reincarnation, let alone Monkey D. Luffy, is going to be a problem.” muttered the Black Unicorn.
“I never fought him.” Said the silver earth pony, “In fact, aren’t sharp things supposed to be his weakness?”
“She has no idea what a Devil’s Reincarnation is.” said Coil, “So I think her skills might be limited.”
“I’ll go then.” Said the silver earth pony, “She won’t know what hit her.”
Little did everypony know that something was going to change in Equestria. A battle was going to begin that would shake, and perhaps change, everything.
Fluttershy woke up in the morning; she fed all of the animals and looked up at the sky. She wondered if somepony else would show up. That pony might have been scared off by Pinkie, but there might be another that would show up and try to ponynap her.
“Hi Fluttershy!” exclaimed Pinkie, who appeared before Fluttershy.
Fluttershy jumped into the air, “Oh, hi Pinkie Pie…” sighed Fluttershy after realizing it was just Pinkie.
“So are you ready to start training?” asked Pinkie Pie.
“I don’t know…” said Fluttershy, “I mean…”
“Oh come on. If you use Haki, you might be able to be more assertive.” Said Pinkie, “I think… maybe. I know it runs on will power…”
“I guess…” sighed Fluttershy.
“All right!” cheered Pinkie.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Meanwhile at the library, Twilight was making the check list for the day while thinking about certain things, mostly about Fluttershy.
“Why don’t you just call the Fruit Brigade?” asked Spike.
The Fruit Brigade was a squad of the Royal Guard who dealt with rouge Devil’s Reincarnations. Not only that, but the squad was made up entirely of Devil’s Reincarnation. They offered Twilight a spot but she declined in order to further her studies.
That she felt somewhat uncomfortable around most of them due to the fact her past life made enemies of their past lives, along with a fact there was an incident as well…
It was complicated…
“I know I have to, but not yet.” Said Twilight, “There’s a lot I have to do…”
“What, are going to make a checklist?” asked Spike.
“I already did.” Said Twilight.
Spike face clawed, he should have known she would have.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Outside Fluttershy’s house Pinkie began her lesson.
“You see it surrounds us, penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together.” explained Pinkie who realized something, “Oh wait… never mind. Wrong thing.”
Fluttershy knew it was best to wait until Pinkie figured out how best to explain it.
“Well you see… no… I can’t explain it like Rayleigh did…” mumbled Pinkie, “Oh I got it! It’s like magic! Except it’s something everypony can do… except for the Haki you have. Only like one in a million can…”
“Really? Only one in a million?” asked Fluttershy.
“Yeah, Luffy only knew a few other guys who did.” Said Pinkie.
“So… how do I unleash it?” asked Fluttershy.
There was an awkward silence.
“I forgot.” Said Pinkie.
That was when Angel kicked Pinkie in the face.
“What was that for?” asked Pinkie.
Angel just glared at Pinkie.
“Now Angel, Pinkie is just trying to help.” Said Fluttershy.
Angel sighed, he knew this wasn’t something he could help her with… unless he dialed up her jerkass tendencies… again.
“I’m not that good a teacher.” Sighed Pinkie.
“It’s okay.” Said Fluttershy.
“I’m also not used to using Haki except for the pinkie sense, and even then it got to the point I couldn’t control it.” Said Pinkie, “And I can use Haoshoku and control it, but I just don’t use it that often to be able to teach you…”
“Don’t worry, it will be fine.” Said Fluttershy, “I’m sure that was the only one after me.”
She knew that she was probably wrong, but she needed to cheer up Pinkie.
Pinkie knew this as well.
“Okay,” said Pinkie, “You want to get lunch?”
“That would be nice.” Said Fluttershy.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Meanwhile the silver earth pony arrived in Ponyville.
“So this is the place?” he said to himself, “It’s quaint.”
At the same time he walked past Twilight and Spike.
“So next is to return that book to Zecora.” Said Spike.
“Okay.” Said Twilight.
When the two walked passed each other, both got a feeling, he continued but Twilight didn’t.
“Twilight what’s wrong?” asked Spike.
Twilight didn’t respond, she just kept staring at the silver stallion.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
At an outdoor café Fluttershy and Pinkie talked.
“Wait, Luffy was a colt?” asked Fluttershy.
“Yeah. Weird right?” Said Pinkie, “Turns out it’s pretty common for men to be reborn as fillies, although the book never said anything about the other way around.”
“What about Twilight?” asked Fluttershy.
“Robin was a mare.” Said Pinkie, “Or a woman, or whatever.”
“I wonder if there are any others like you in Ponyville.” mused Fluttershy.
“I’m guessing Lyra’s one.” Said Pinkie.
“Why?” asked Fluttershy.
“She’s one of the few that know what a human is.” Said Pinkie.
Lyra wasn’t one, she just knew about humans because she knew a Devil’s Reincarnation very closely.
“I didn’t know that Lyra knew what a human was.” Said Fluttershy.
“Yeah. According to Bonbon, its weird.” Said Pinkie, “But you didn’t hear it from me.”
“Excuse me.” Said a voice.
They turned to see the silver stallion.
“Yes?” asked Fluttershy.
“Are you Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie?” asked the stallion.
Both of them got concerned.
“Why do you want to know?” asked Pinkie.
“Come with me Fluttershy and no pony gets hurt.” Said the silver stallion.
“You’re working with that spring guy aren’t you?” asked Pinkie.
The stallion nodded as blade came out of his hooves and pointed at Pinkie.
“So what will it be?” he asked.
Fluttershy began to get nervous.
“I know you. You’re that knife guy who always hung out with Crocodile.” Said Pinkie.
The stallion nodded, “So what the answer?”
“No.” said Pinkie, “She’s not going with you.”
The stallion proceeded to slice up the table, causing ponies to run; most of them unsure what was going on.
“The horror! The horror!” cried Lily who was at a nearby table with the other flower named ponies.
“Blades are coming out of his body!” cried Daisy.
Rose on the other hand was surprisingly not freaking out in her usual way. She was scared, but it was different than usual.
“It can’t be…” she whispered.
The two other flower ponies looked at each other and grabbed her.
“You know your Gum Gum Powers won’t work on me so give up.” Said the Stallion.
However the stallion suddenly stopped his attacking, because he was surrounded by a magic aura.
“Stop this now.” Said Twilight.
“Twilight, I thought today was your errands day.” Said Pinkie.
“Don’t worry, I’m doing that too.” Said Twilight.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Meanwhile Twilight… well actually a clone of hers came back into Ponyville with Spike. Spike on the other hand stared at her.
“Why don’t you use this power more often again?” he asked.
Twilight’s clone didn’t respond. This wasn’t the first time she did this to finish her errands, and it wouldn’t be the last.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Back at the cafe, the silver stallion glared at Twilight, however he came up with an idea. His tail turned into a sword, due to the weight and shape change Twilight lost control of her magic.
The silver stallion turned to Twilight and narrowed his eyes.
“So I take you know all about Devil’s Reincarnation.” Said the Silver Stallion.
Twilight gritted her teeth, “Crocodile’s reincarnation is in this too, isn’t he?” asked Twilight.
“No… you’re one too.” Muttered the silver stallion, “And Crocodile’s reincarnation is a mare.”
“Wow that’s a surprise.” Said Pinkie.
“I don’t know why I’m not surprised.” sighed Twilight.
“Your magic is no match for me.” said the silver stallion, “Well at least for now. I know you’re Celestia’s student, you just need a lot of calculations… just give me Fluttershy and no pony gets hurt.”
Before they could do anything. A bolt of lighting came from the sky and shocked him.
That lighting came from Rainbow Dash.
“Hey I don’t know who you are but do you really think we would just hand over Fluttershy to you?” asked Rainbow Dash, “What’s going on here exactly?”
“We’ll explain later.” Sighed Twilight, “Do you think you can up the volts?”
“Sure thing!” said Rainbow Dash.
She went back to the thundercloud and began to rain more lighting.
However as the lighting rained down the stallion just stood there.
“You really think this will work?” asked the silver stallion, “I became immune to lighting years ago.”
That was when Applejack also showed up, hearing about the commotion. She grabbed a rope and tried to lasso him. However, having eaten the Dice Dice Fruit in a past life, he was able to cut the rope by just creating blades.
“That’s it!” said Twilight as she looked at Rainbow Dash, “Go ask Rarity to see if she has an unbreakable diamond filament tether.”
“A what?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“She’ll know what it is.” Said Twilight.
“Okay then.” Said Rainbow Dash as she flew off.
The silver stallion glared at Fluttershy.
“If you won’t come with me then.” Said the silver stallion.
He created blades on his hooves much like ice stake and skated towards Twilight. Twilight teleported out of the way, but not before creating a couple of hooves to trip him up, allowing for a short reprieve.
The silver stallion looked at the hoof that tripped him.
“So it’s you. I should have known.” He said.
He sliced both legs, and not only did they disappear, but Twilight’s legs began to bleed.
“Twilight, are you okay?” asked Fluttershy.
“I’m fine.” Said Twilight.
“You’re not fine if you’re bleeding.” Said Applejack, as she looked at the silver stallion.
Fluttershy began to shake. She knew she had to do something.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
At Carousel boutique, Rarity got out the last of the unbreakable diamond tether she had.
“Be careful with it, it’s the last one I have. Do you know how hard it is to make?” asked Rarity.
“Wait, if it’s unbreakable then why do we need to be careful?” asked Rainbow Dash.
Rarity tried to come up with response but couldn’t.
“Okay, gotta Dash!” said Rainbow Dash.
Before she could leave, Rarity called out, “Wait. If the others are in trouble I’m coming too.”
“I don’t think you’d be of help with this guy, he’s really tough.” Said Rainbow Dash.
Rarity glared at her. The two of them considered Fluttershy their very best friend. Even if she could barely help, she wasn’t going to let Fluttershy get ponynapped.
“Fine.” Muttered Rainbow Dash.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Back at the café, Pinkie knew what she had to do.
“I'm going to fight him.” She said.
“Are you sure?” asked Twilight.
“I’m sure.” Said Pinkie.
Applejack looked at Pinkie.
“I’m missing something, aren’t I?” she asked.
“Yeah…” sighed Twilight.
Pinkie stepped forward, however Fluttershy stopped her. She was in full on stare mode as she glared at the stallion.
“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING!” she yelled.
“Pony feathers.” Cursed the stallion.
“HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU!” yelled Fluttershy.
The full force of Fluttershy’s Haki caused him to pass out.
“Oh dear.” Said Fluttershy.
“You did it!” Pinkie shouted as she hugged Fluttershy.
“Wow, that was amazing.” Said Twilight who flinched.
“We really need to get you bandaged up.” Said Fluttershy.
That was when Rainbow Dash and Rarity arrived with the diamond filament tether.
“What happed?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“And what’s going on?” asked Applejack.
Twilight looked at Pinkie, and she nodded. They knew that they couldn’t hide it for long.
“I’ll explain after we tie him up.” Said Twilight.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
They tied up the stallion and took him to the library where Spike was waiting alone.
“I was so worried about you when your clone disappeared.” Said Spike.
“You can create clones?” asked Rainbow Dash, then again she though it was magic and shrugged.
“I’m fine.” Said Twilight whose legs were bandaged up, “Just a little scratch.”
“So what’s going on?” asked Rarity.
“Who was that guy?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Why does he want to ponynap Fluttershy?” asked Applejack.
Twilight took a deep breath before she looked at her friends.
“Do you know what a Devil’s Reincarnation is?” asked Twilight.
Both Rainbow Dash and Rarity shook their heads no.
“So that’s what he is, well I should have known.” Mumbled Applejack.
“You know about them?” asked Pinkie.
“Every time one happens, there’s always one in the apple family.” Said Applejack, “One of my cousins actually.”
“Oh…” said Twilight.
Twilight began to explain everything that been going on, and Pinkie joined in as well.
“So wait, you and Pinkie have super powers because your past lives did?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Yep!” said Pinkie.
“And there are many other ponies like that all throughout out Equestria?” asked Rarity.
Yeah.” Sighed Twilight.
“Hey, I understand why they kept it a secret.” said Applejack, “There’s a lot of stories of them being shunned for being different.”
“Oh…” said Rarity.
“But then why do they want Fluttershy?” muttered Rainbow Dash.
“Didn’t Coil tell you? It’s because she’s the only known natural born Haoshoku Haki user.” Said the silver stallion.
“All right!” yelled Pinkie, “Who are you working for?”
“What are you going to do? Hand me over to Princess Celestia and the Fruit Brigade?” asked the stallion.
“Dear Princess Celestia…” began Twilight.
“All right! All right! I’ll talk!” Shouted the stallion. “We’re known as the Devil’s Alliance. We’re trying to take over Equestria and turn it into separate states.”
“Why?” asked Twilight.
“That’s all I’m saying. Besides, the higher ups allowed me to at least give you that information.” Said the silver stallion.
“Higher ups?” asked Twilight.
“That’s all I’m telling you.” Said the Silver Stallion.
“You already said that.” Said Pinkie.
The stallion rolled his eyes then began to struggle again the tether, but couldn’t.
“Unbreakable diamond filament tether, I made it myself.” Said Rarity.
The silver stallion muttered under his breath.
“What are we going to do with him?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“We don’t have much of a choice,” said Twilight. “We’ll have to turn him in to the Fruit Brigade.”
“What’s the Fruit Brigade?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“It’s a part of the Princesses Guard that’s made up of Devil’s Reincarnations.” Answered Twilight.
“Well if they all have super powers…” mumbled Rarity.
“Fine, do it.” Muttered the Silver Stallion.
He gave an evil smirk. He knew the others would rescue him.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Meanwhile at what is called the Devil’s Alliance headquarters.
“Steel’s been captured.” Said the Pegasus.
“Well I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised.” Said the black unicorn earning a glare from the brown earth pony.
“What are we going to do?” asked a dark grey Pegasus stallion.
“We wait until they transfer him, then we rescue him.” Said the black unicorn.
Little did they know that by doing that it was going to set off a chain of events that would make things worse for both sides of the fight.
Twilight watched the pony known as Steel Blade. It was a rather suitable name, then again she had known a few other Ponies with names that suited their abilities.
“I wonder who they’re going to send.” Said Spike.
Then there was a knock on the door. She opened it and saw a rust colored earth pony colt and a purple unicorn mare.
“It’s been a long time Twilight Sparkle.” Said the mare.
“Hello Starshine,” mumbled Twilight.
Starshine was a rather high ranking member of the Fruit Brigade. Her abilities were that she could capture anyone in a form of cage that came from her body.
She had no idea who the other pony was though.
“Oh this is Rusty; he’s a new recruit.” Said Starshine, “He was also a Marine.”
“I control rust Lady Sparkle.” The pony named Rusty.
“Oh I heard about you…” said Twilight, “Didn’t you...”
“Yes my past life destroyed his sword.” Answered Rusty.
Twilight was silent.
“I’m sorry for bring someone who was involved in that… in the old world but he’s the only one who could help guard him.” Answered Starshine.
“I know…” said Twilight.
“So you’re here to take me away…” said Steel.
“Diamond Filament Tether.” Said Starshine, “Can’t say I’m surprised. You did choose your education.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” asked Twilight.
“Nothing, nothing…” said Starshine.
“What’s that about?” asked Rusty.
“Don’t ask.” Answered Spike.
Starshine walked though Steel; it was a rather strange sight. When the process was done Steel was locked up.
Starshine used her magic to untie the diamond tether and gave it to Twilight.
“Here.” She said.
The two took the prisoner out of the library, leaving Spike and Twilight in silence.
“I’m sure it will be fine.” Said Spike.
“I hope so.” Sighed Twilight.

The two guards took the prisoner to a chariot being driven by two Pegasi guards.
“You’re awfully quiet.” Said Rusty.
“What’s your power?” asked Steel.
“I rust things…” said Rusty with a shrug, “Since you ate the Dice Dice Fruit in a past life they brought me in.”
“I see…” mumbled Steel.
The chariot took off and headed towards Canterlot, unaware that it was being followed.

Meanwhile in Ponyville, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie were planning another pranking spree.
“Wait… so joy buzzers don’t work on you?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“No! I just pretend it does.” Said Pinkie.
Rainbow Dash stared at Pinkie, that was when she saw two posters, one of them for an upcoming Wonder Bolts show, the other for some pop star named Bluebell.
“All right! The Wonderbolts are coming to Ponyville!” cheered Rainbow Dash.
“Look like tickets are going on sale tomorrow.” Said Pinkie looking at the poster
“All right!” said Rainbow Dash, “We can still do the pranking spree.”
“I was thinking Lyra.” Said Pinkie.
“Why?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“You see…” said Pinkie.
Pinkie began to tell Rainbow Dash of her plan on prank Lyra.

With the chariot, dark clouds began to appear.
“Was the weather schedule supposed to be thunderstorms around here?” asked Starshine.
“No ma’am.” Said one of the Pegasus gauds flying.
Steel began to laugh.
“What is it?” asked Starshine.
“Did you ever think that there might be Logia users the marines never found out about?” asked Steel.
“What do you mean?” asked Rusty.
That was when there was a lighting bolt that struck right in front the chariot.
“Oh too early…” said a voice, “That’s a real same.”
That was when they saw the light blue Pegasus.
“You’re a member of that Devil Alliance aren’t you?” asked Starshine taking charge.
“Yes I am…” said the light blue Pegasus, “And you should have brought somepony stronger.”
They watched in horror as he turned into lighting itself.

In Ponyville’s park, Lyra was searching for the human she heard about.
“Come out I only want to be your friend!” said Lyra, “If you don’t, I WILL BREAK YOU LITTLE MAN!”
Both Pinkie and Rainbow Dash looked at each other, realizing it wasn’t funny anymore.
“I’m just kidding of course!” said Lyra.
“Should we go tell her?” asked Pinkie.
“Let’s wait a few days…” mumbled Rainbow Dash.
That was when a very loud thunder roar filled the air.
“I didn’t see the lighting so it was far away.” Said Rainbow Dash.
That was when a Pegasus named Lighting Bolt showed up; she was a member of the weather team.
“Rainbow Dash! There are unauthorized thunderclouds in the north-eastern vicinity.” Said Lighting Bolt, “I know today’s your day off but we need you to clear it.”
“It’s barely in my jurisdiction isn’t it?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Yeah… and you’re the only who can fly there fast enough and clear it up right away.” Said Lighting Bolt.
“Fine…” mumbled Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash flew where she had to go, while Lighting Bolt watched Lyra.
“Pranked Lyra and her human obsession?” she asked.
“Yeah…” answered Pinkie.
“Did she yell out ‘I will break you little man’ yet?” asked Lighting Bolt.
Pinkie looked at her.
“Me and my friends once did it too.” Said Lighting Bolt.
“I thought was a secret…” said Pinkie.
“I heard about it from Derpy.” Said Lighting Bolt, “Apparently Time Turner accidently told her.”
“Oh...” said Pinkie.

Rainbow Dash got to where the clouds were spotted and she saw something that made her blood run cold. She saw the wreck of the chariot, on the ground laid the guard ponies. She went to check on them and all four of them were breathing.
“Are you okay?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Get Twilight Sparkle…” Muttered Starshine who was barely coconscious, “She needs to know…”
Rainbow Dash blinked and realized who they were. The ponies escorting Fluttershy’s would be kidnaper to Canterlot.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()
She flew to the library in just a few minutes.
“Rainbow Dash? What’s wrong?” asked Twilight.
“Those guards who were supposed to escort that guy were hit by lighting.” Said Rainbow Dash.
Twilight paled when she said that.
“All right got to the hospital and inform them what happened, I’m going to send a letter to Princess Celestia.”
Rainbow Dash nodded and flew to the hospital.
Twilight began to write the letter.

Hours later in the hospital where the group of guards was resting, the doctor was talking to Twilight.
“Just minor burns, they’ll be fine. They should be able to get out in a few days.” Said the doctor.
“Thank you.” Said Twilight.
The doctor left just as her friends showed up.
“They should be fine.” Said Twilight.
“That’s a relief.” Said Fluttershy.
“How was someone able to gather thunder clouds so fast?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“It must be Eneru’s reincarnation.” Said Pinkie.
“Who’s Eneru?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Someone who had powers over lighting.” Said Twilight.
“He also thought he was god.” Said Pinkie.
“Great… it’s like a conspiracy.” Said Rainbow Dash.
“Not yet.” Said a voice.
They turned to the speaker; one of them did know this pony.
“YOU!” yelled Rarity.
That pony was Prince Blueblood.

Meanwhile at the HQ of the Devil’s alliance Steel and the blue Pegasus arrived.
“It was too easy.” Said the blue Pegasus.
“They didn’t even bring a Logia to be my guard.” Said Steel.
“You got lucky.” Said the brown earth pony.
“Besides I don’t even think of the Fruit Brigade even know who I am.” Said the blue Pegasus.
“We still need to put Pinkie Pie out of commission.” Said the black unicorn.
The others were silent.
“I don’t think she’s at 100 percent.” Said Steel, “She didn’t even put up a fight.”
“There’s no way am I fighting her.” said the blue Pegasus, “Even if she isn’t at 100 percent perfect she can still kick my flank.”
“If she isn’t at a 100 percent then it won’t be much of a match for most of us.” Said a voice.
They turned to see a white unicorn mare with a pink and blue mane, “I’ll handle her.”
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” asked the black unicorn.
“Please… from what I hear about her she’s only a two bit party planner.” Said the unicorn.
“Actually she’s an excellent party planner.” Said the blue Pegasus.
They all stared at the Pegasus.
“What, we’ve been in hearing range of Ponyville for months.” Said the Pegasus he then said a sheepish tone, “I want to go her parties okay…”
“That maybe…” said the white unicorn, “But I know I can beat her… after all she’s not Luffy…”
The other ponies stared at her.
“You think she just wants to beat up Pinkie because she’s a filly?” asked the black unicorn.
“Wouldn’t put her past it.” Responded the brown earth pony.

Back at the Ponyville Hospital… Rarity glared at Prince Blueblood.
“Come now Ms. Rarity, I’m here on business, unless you’re that recently found Devil’s Reincarnation that’s been found here then this doesn’t concern you.” Said Prince Blueblood.
“What are you doing here?” asked Twilight as polite as possible but she sounded a little angry.
“Aunt Celestia sent me to make sure that everything is in order.” Explained Prince Blueblood, “After all it is my royal duty it keep a tabs on every single known Devil’s Reincarnation.”
“So you do have a job.” Mumbled Rarity.
“What does that surprise you?” asked Prince Blueblood.
“Yes, because you know I’m part of the Canterlot Social Circles.” Said Rarity, “And word is that you’re just a bum who refuses to take a job.”
Prince Blueblood muttered something under his breath that they couldn’t make out, but sounded like he wanted revenge against somepony but they couldn’t tell who.
He cleared his throat, “With what had been going on I believe it’s for the best that we keep everything under wraps.”
“What do you mean?” asked Twilight.
“Well you see most ponies don’t even know that Devil’s Reincarnations even exist. I’m assuming that with the exception of Ms. Twilight and the member of the Apple Family, I heard that the rest of you didn’t even know that they even existed until now.”
This earned a glare from them.
“It’s best to sweep this under the rug so as to not to cause panic.” Said Prince Blueblood.
“Not to cause panic? What about that little rampage that guy did to kidnap Fluttershy?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Just some pony trying to kidnap one of the elements of harmony for his purposes.” Said Prince Blueblood, “And his escape is merely a tragic accident when some fool Pegasus accidentally created an aimless thunder storm.”
“Well I guess that it doesn’t matter.” Said Twilight becoming calm.
“Also, no pony from the Fruit Brigade will be sent.” Said Prince Blueblood.
“What?” asked Twilight getting angry but nowhere close to flaring up?
“What’s that supposed to mean?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“We can’t have royal guards sent to live there. Ponies might catch on.” Said Prince Blueblood.
“We’re dealing with dangerous Devil’s Reincarnations.” Said Twilight, “Five known at the moment, and who knows who else!”
“It doesn’t matter. Right now all the matters is peace in Equestria.” Said Prince Blueblood, “However that doesn’t mean that I haven’t ask other Devil’s Reincarnations to help.”
“Who are they?” asked Twilight.
“I can’t say right now.” Said Prince Blueblood, “However, I will say that they agree with me about keeping it quiet.”
That was when a cup was thrown at his head.
He turned to see it was Starshine out of her bed.
“Even I think this is low.” Muttered Starshine.
“You should be in bed.” Said Prince Blueblood.
“They’re trying to kidnap her.” said Starshine, “And all you want to do is cover it up! So that no pony in town can help her?”
“I already said, I sent three ponies.” Said Prince Blueblood.
“Are any of them Logia.” Said Twilight.
“Does it even matter?” asked Prince Blueblood.
Before they could respond, Prince Blueblood started leaving.
“Now excuse me. Since you already know the details, I have a scheduled massage at the spa.” Said Prince Blueblood, “I hope that what Ms. Rarity said about the spa is true.”
“What a jerk.” Muttered Pinkie.
“You have no idea.” Said Rarity.
“I’m going to ask other members of the Fruit Brigade to check up on their days off.” Said Starshine.
“You should be in bed.” Said Twilight.
“Fine.” Muttered Starshine remembering what happened last time after Somepony got Twilight that angry.
“I think it’s fine… it doesn’t matter if they’re that dangerous.” Said Fluttershy.
“But they’re trying to kidnap you.’ Said Rainbow Dash.
“I know…” said Fluttershy, “But it’s not so bad.”
“If you say so.” Said Twilight unsure what to say.
“Don’t worry Twilight it will be fine!” said Pinkie, “Trust me…”
Twilight sighed heavily.
()()()()()()()()()()()()() Meanwhile with Prince Blueblood he was on the way to the spa when a gold earth pony mare the size of Big Macintosh and a green Pegasus mare stopped him.
“We heard the conversation.” Said the green Pegasus.
“Of course you did.” Said Prince Blueblood.
“You didn’t have to be so cold.” Said the earth pony.
“It doesn’t matter.” Said Prince Blueblood, “Besides Princess Celestia wanted everything quiet so we can gauge who they are and why they want Fluttershy.”
“We know that.” Muttered the green Pegasus.
“If you do then why are you bothering me. I have an appointment.” Said Prince Blueblood.
The two mares sighed knowing that whatever they would say wouldn’t matter.
After all there was a reason for Prince Blueblood’s behavior, even if he was annoying as Tartarus.
