The Last Morphoyd

Introductions

"What am I?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "What are you?"

"Hey, I asked first!" the monster said. Sunset Shimmer sighed.

"Currently, I am a human, just like the other girls," she said. The beast tilted its head.

"What girls?" he said looking around the room. "Did you mean females of your own species?"

"Yes, my own species," Sunset Shimmer said.

"Like the pink girl?" the monster said. They both looked at Pinkie who was staring at the monster and looked about ready to explode. "Is she ok?"

"PARTY TIME!" Pinkie suddenly exclaimed, throwing confetti and blooms everywhere. The monster stumbled backwards, confused (and most likely freaked out) as to what was going on. Its arm reached towards its back and tried to grab something. A few seconds later, it glanced at its back and made a confused noise.

"Where is my weapon?" it asked aloud. "It should have been made in the adaption process!"

"Weapon?" Pinkie asked. "Why are you trying to attack confetti?"

"Is it not some form of weapon?" the monster asked. Pinkie giggled and Sunset Shimmer snickered.

"No!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Of course not! I don't want to attack a potential friend!"

"What is friend?" the monster asked. "Is that a weapon?" Pinkie giggled.

"No!" she cried. "A friend is someone that you like and hang out with, and trust and talk with!"

"That sounds complex," the monster said. Fluttershy stuck her head out of the bass drum and stared at the monster.

It may look scary, but he actually seems nice! she thought.

"Um, excuse me?" Fluttershy said. The monster looked at her.

"Yes?" it asked.

"Um, what do we call you?" Fluttershy asked. The monster was silent for a few seconds.

"I don't understand what you mean by that," it finally said. "My battleclass is a smasher-brawler, and I was never given a casual title."

"Battleclass?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes, battleclass. Every morphoyd has a battleclass, even though not all of them have anything to do with battling," the monster said. "Most are given a casual name, but I never received one."

"I'm going to call you Morpheus!" Pinkie exclaimed. Rainbow Dash frowned.

"Isn't that the name of a Greek dude?" she asked. "I can't remember."

"Morpheus, huh? Is that because it has morph in it?" the monster, Morpheus now, asked. "I like it. Morpheus it is!"

"So, what exactly are you?" Sunset Shimmer asked.

"I am a morphoyd," Morpheus said. "We are a race with the power to create our own bodies! As long as they can support your battleclass weapon, then you can become anything!"

"What exactly is a battleclass?" Applejack asked, stepping out from where she was hiding.

"Your battleclass is usually discovered as you age and they come in a wide variety. My battleclass, like I said earlier, is a smasher-brawler, a duel battleclass. Those are kind of rare, but not unheard of."

"OH! OH! OH!" Pinkie exclaimed. "What's the rarest?" Morpheus shrugged.

"I don't know, but probably the weather wizard battleclass. That or the veil crosser battleclass," Morpheus said.

"What do those do?" Pinkie asked.

"That's not important," Morpheus said.

"And what does your battleclasses do?" Sunset Shimmer asked, writing stuff down on a piece of paper.

"Well, the brawler battleclass is good at fighting with fists, and the smasher battleclass is good at using big weapons to smash stuff. Stuff like hammers and battle axes." Pinkie gasped.

"That's awesome!" she cried. "Wait, where are you going to stay?" Morpheus shrugged.

"Any chance of staying near any of your houses?" he asked. Everyone looked at Fluttershy.

"Um, my house is next to a large forest," she said. "You could stay there, if you want?" Morpheus nodded.

"That sounds good," he said. "Lets go!"

"Um, how?" Fluttershy asked. "People are going to notice you!"

"Hmm, good point," Morpheus said.

"Ah have a truck," Applejack said. "If anyone asks, we could just say it's an art project."

"I understood only half of that, but it sounds good," Morpheus said. "Lets do it!"
