“You mean like….” Rarity exhaled in awe, placing he hoof over her mouth. “There it is NO way to damage or destroy it darling?”
After several minutes, despite a hard and complicated ascent, Fido and Spot finally managed to scramble their way to the highest tower of the Canterlot castle, where a supposed throne room should be located right below. Being safely tied and hanging on rope, that was also fixed on towers spike, Fido and Spot were discussing their current situation and deciding what to do next.
“Alright. Phase one is done, and now start up the phase two.” Fido suggested. “Spot, lets see that “Jammer” thingie that Catrina has given to us.”
Spot only nod in agreement, shifting a large and heavy bag on his back, so he had a better approach to it, while still being safely tied to tower via rope. He was digging in it several times as he pulled out a strange, rectangularly shaped and seemingly mechanically constructed device, covered in a leather like covering, strongly resembling dragon scales with several buttons and six small thin crystals of various sizes, and there was something like a main switch on its side.
Though visibly seeming primitive and somewhat antediluvian, the device was still very peculiar nonetheless, being very well and sophistically constructed and seemingly more advanced than any other home-made contraptions. Judging from its appearance and design, even Peter or Dr Hooves would give credits to whoever constructed that or whatever was the purpose of that thing.
“I have to say…This is really some widget.” Spot declared, and though not being exactly a techno geek and despite his rather limited intellect, a Diamond Dog somehow admired unique and sophisticated device the was just holding in its paw. Spot than climbed on Fidos back, while a larger dog was still hanging on the tower, then balancing on his head and fixing so called jamming device of sorts to towers spike, tying it fest with a rope.
“Do you really thing it works?” Fido asked curiously as he climbed from Fido.
“I guess, there is only one way to find out….Just try it out.” Spot bluntly stated and shrugging his shoulder in an indifferent like manner. “Yet….” Spot suddenly raised his paw in protest. “Before we do….We are supposed to wait for a right moment.” Smaller dog explained.
“Oh yeah.” Fido exclaimed in realization. “How has Catrina and Lord Grogar explained that to us exactly….?” Diamond Dog murmured for himself thoughtfully, yet as it also seemed, a mutt didn’t have a slightest clue what to do next. He was rather and obviously “being all brawn but no brains”.
Spot, once again sighed in exasperation yet trying to give his very own explanation. “As I remember correctly, we are supposed to wait till the ponies along with that Parker pony open a portal into another dimension with some sort of another advanced contraption thingie on their own. Then we shall activate the jammer. At least that’s all what we have needed to know and do, I guess.” At least someone did his homework.
“Well, aren’t you the clever one.” Fido scoffed sarcastically through his fanged mouth with his paws folded, causing Spot to growl a little in irritation with an annoying scowl forming on his face. “But in that case…I suppose someone should climb down there and watch out before they actually open the portal, don’t you think?” A large dog declared provocatively with a smug expression, showing that he actually wasn’t that dumb as he looked.
Despite feeling uncomfortable and somewhat uncomfortable about his companions choice of words, which by the way was a pure truth. Fido just couldn’t climb down there on a steep surface of the tower, because he would arguably slip under his bulky and strong frame. The case was in belaying with rope, and unfortunately for him, Spot just wasn’t strong enough to hold a much larger mutt, therefore he would take a smaller dog with him. Well, in this case, Spot would eventually take the job, while Fido would belay him with his strong arms without a much effort. So, the thing was square and clear.
“Alright.” Spot sighed in beaten like manner, acquiescing himself. “I will climb down there. But…” A bulldog started digging in his bag again and this time he pulled out yet other strange devices, that actually looked like and resembled a powder boxes, with strangely a mouth like insignia carved on it, giving one to Fido, while keeping the second one. “Here. We will need those.”
“What is this?” Fido murmured with a bewildered gaze, checking yet another weird device suspiciously, of course and as usually, having no clue what was its purpose.
However, Spot took the device closer to its mouth and started talking into it, and much for Fidos utter surprise, Diamond Dog squeaked in shock, waddling a bit, yet luckily being still tied to a tower and nearly dropping the box like device as he heard Spots voice coming right from it, though sounding a little distorted. “It is yet another of Catrinas so called inventions. She calls it the Communicator or something like that. With these boxes, we shall communicate with each other on great distances, without limits.”
While Spot finished his lecture through so called “Communicators”, Fido just couldn’t supress his amazement, though in his case it would be called rather bewilderment. “Well ,that’s….Very inventive, I guess.” He dully stated.
Spot than took yet another rope from his bag and tying it around his waist with a strong knot and giving the rest of the rope into Fidos own strong paws. “Alright. I going down. So, you must assure me on the rope while I am skipping. And when something happens, I will contact you via the communicator and you activate the jamming device. Is that clear?”
“Um....Loud and clear.” Fido grinned in somewhat indifferent manner.
“And one more thing…” Spot remarked for the last time. “Before you active it, don’t forget to take those enchanted ear plugs that Catrina has also given to us, otherwise we would go nuts from the sound.”
“Never mind that, shorty.” Fido scoffed provocatively, yet also nodding his head in understanding while holding a rope as Spot slowly and steadily started scaling the tower down on the rope with Fido was holding and belaying his smaller companion from up.
Spot eventually managed to slide down the tower on the rope within a minute, which was much a faster way than climbing up right to the edge of the roof. Small canine bent over the roof to see large sets of windows of the throne room, he gulped nervously and biting his lip from the height he was finding himself in.
Yet, small bulldog took a deep breath, encouraging himself up and maintaining more confident posture, as he started slowly and carefully climbing down over the roof edge, still hanged on the rope. Spot was taking himself down before he was close the windows edge. The bulldog then shifted his frame on the rope into a head-down like position and carefully peeked through the giant window inside the throne room.
“There. I have managed that, Mr Parker.” Jarvis stoically stated with his computerized like voice, obviously being up to something. “I have hacked myself into Dimensional Dilation Accelerators microprocessor and redirected all of its mechanical functions. I shall be able to track down a dimensional overlap over time and space between Equestrias and Earths dimensional boundaries. Its frequency and energy signature is unique. It shouldn’t take long to track it down.”
“Great job, Jarvis. Get onto it.” Peter declared joyously, evidently pleased with artificial intelligence programs progress so far. The satellite dish receiver, standing nearby and being connected to both Accelerator and Jarvis started slowly turning around in the process.
With Jarvis help, Peter along with Twilight and the otherpony should bring Logan into Equestria in no time and the Harmony Avengers team would be complete to face and fight Grogar.
“How is it going, Peter?” Twilight asked as she closed her gap between herself and he husband, peeking over stallions shoulder.
“Jarvis has managed to hack himself righto into Time Dilation Accelerator and now its searching for some suitable dimensional overlap over time and space.” Peter explained to his wife, having a wide smile on his face, seemingly cannot wait to see his old friend again.
“That’s great.” Twilight squeaked joyously and rubbing her cheek against Peters affectionately, also seemingly happy with her stallions work and looking forward to see Logan again as well.
However, in the instance and without anypony realizing it, Pinkie Pie nudged her muzzle between duo and attracting their attention. “Uuu!” Pink party pony squeaked in joy. “Shall I prepare a welcoming party for Logan? I know that there is never too late for that.”
Considering his hyperactive friends idea, yet Peter chuckled sheepishly and politely dismissing Pinkies suggestion and placing his hoof on mares shoulder. “That is though nice of you Pinkie, really. But…I don’t think this will be necessary. I mean…No offense, but Logan really doesn’t enjoy mushy, softy and cuddly things much. Yet, he could be at least a little cheery about this. Then again….He is actually never cheery much about anything.”
“Huh?” Pinkie exhaled dumbfounded, titling her head to the side like some sort of a pink bird.
“Never mind that.” Peter chuckled sheepishly, waving his hoof dismissively to drop the subject.
In the moment, the laptop screen suddenly started beeping, as Jarvis signalized that something was up, as all Peter, Twilight and Pinkie turned their gazes to screen. “I have just located the dimensional overlap with a suitable power vortex.” Jarvis stated with a promising tone. “I shall now send out a signal through it to bypass dimensional boundaries between Earth and Equestria.”
Jarvis like icon started processing in the process with little points flashing and fading in row in a circle. And after several moments, the process was completed. “The dimensional connection over overlap, between Earth and Equestria has just been established, Mr Parker.” Jarvis once again declared with its a positive and stoic like manner and much for Peters, Twilight and everyponys standing behind amazement, a medium sized window in the middle of screen materialized with a digitized, holographic like image of planet Earth.
“Nice work, Jarvis.” Peter exclaimed with satisfaction. “I owe you two hundred megabytes of updates for this.” The stallion even patted Jarvis on top of monitors plastic case like an owner is praising his dog for a good job done.
“Well….Thank you, Mr Parker.” Jarvis replied with a strange like manner in a mix of honour and sarcasm.
“He actually realizes, that he is patting a computer, doesn’t he?” Felicia whispered to other mares standing beside her in a sarcastic away.
“Welcome to our world.” Rainbow Dash whispered back in her own way of sarcasm and rolling her eyes.
“So, Peter…” Sunset asked curious as she came closer to Twilight, Peter and Pinkie as she arched her brow to see the laptop screen properly. “How do you exactly intent to find Logan anyway? I mean….The Earth is large, with over billions of people inhabiting it, and Logan is just one man. He just might be anywhere.”
“Quite easy, Sunset.” Peter replied with a smug like expression, like he would actually know or having a way how to do that. “Uatu also upgraded the Dimensional Dilation Accelerator with an advanced tracking system in order to lock down a selected target and transporting it from one place to another, including through different dimensions of course.”
“Yes, I know that, but….Exactly…How? I f I remember correctly, you have been saying something about tracking down his molecular structure or something like that?” Sunset asked with a curiosity gleaming in her azure blue eyes, yet still filled with a little hint of uncertainty and having no clue.
Peter only grinned smugly by the response. “I am glad that you ask Redhead. And….You are actually right. Logan has something special and unique that should make our search much easier. And…I also may know where to begin to search with.” Stallion stated as he averted his gaze back to laptop screen and started pressing buttons on the keyboard again. “Jarvis, initiate the tracking mechanism and set the coordinates on both United States and Canada. Search for Logan to locate his mutant DNA, plus…Also set the scanners to detect his Adamantium skeleton.”
“By all means, Mr Parker. It is true that Adamantiums chemical composition is indeed unique, though being artificially created. It shouldn’t take long to track it down.” Jarvis agreed with his usual not changing stoic like computerized voice and started processing on the system again.
“Am, Pete….” Applejack trailed off somewhat dumbfounded by Peters and Jarvis mention of that “Adamantium” thing. Though having no clue what exactly that was, its name sounded really weird, yet the farm pony from strange reasons didn’t like the sound of that. Maybe, because it was arguably nothing that could be found in Equestria, but actually being from the other dimension after all. “Don’t get me wrong, but….What in tarnation is Adamantium, partner?”
“Gesundheit.” Spike declared in a unreadable and blunt like manner, yet apparently and like from empathy sharing honest farm ponys concern.
“You know….” Twilight intervened. “I have also been wondering. What is this Adamantium, Peter? Some sort of metal alloy?” Young princess asked carefully.
“You can say that.” Peter answered somewhat uneasy, scratching a back of his head sheepishly. His friends obviously didn’t know, but Peter on the other hoof knew very well and also having some, though also unpleasant experience with virtually indestructible man-made metal, that by the way being highly poisonous inside the body without a healing factor. “You see…Adamantium is indeed, though artificially made metal, that when once becomes solid, and I am really saying this…..It is virtually indestructible.” Stallion dully stated, earning a series of collective and bewildered gazes from otherpony standing nearby.
“You mean like….” Rarity exhaled in awe, placing he hoof over her mouth. “There it is NO way to damage or destroy it darling?”
“Really….?” Rainbow Dash exhaled dumfounded with her head pointed on the side.
“Nope.” Peters response was blunt and crude, yet confirming the fact and standing firmly behind his opinion, of course earning yet other series of even more collective and rather dumbfounded gazes of the others by hearing their friends confirmation.
“Oh dear.” Fluttershy gasped with her hoof placed over her mouth, an awe straining her voice.
Princess Celestia and Luna also seemed somewhat taken aback by Peters mention of possibly “indestructible metal” from another dimension of alien origins with their eyes widened and near slack jawed. Considering, possibly the strongest and the most durable metal known in the whole Equestria was supposedly considered to be a Griffons Steel, a pure and first-class metal alloy, created by Griffons master blacksmiths eons ago.
Griffons crafted the most effective and the sharpest blades and weapons in the entire Equestria. Griffon Steel had no equal and the secret of its composition could only be passed down through Griffons master black smiths, by word of beak. It was also believed, that Ignus Solaris and Celsius, a powerful swords and personal weapons of Royal Sisters were even crafted from Griffon Steel. But, right now. So called Adamantium, a metal of alien origins and from the another dimension, considered to be supposedly “virtually indestructible”? An alloy rivalling or being even superior to Griffon Steel?
Both Royal Sisters looked at each other with unreadable expressions, not knowing what to say. “A virtually indestructible metal alloy?” Moon princess whispered in a near strained voice.
“By the stars…” Princess Celestia, usually stoic, calm and calculated ruler of the Equestria gasped with a mixture of awe and disbelief.
Twilight, being in awe just like the rest of her friends along with princesses, though young alicorn managed to recollect her sense and averting her attention to her husband, as an unusual or rather bizarre though sparkled in mares mind. Though for then, Twilight better decided to keep an idea for herself, knowing that now were much more important matters at hoof.
“Found him.” Jarvis stated. His computerized distorted voice sounded very promising, evidently indicating that he must have already found and locate its target, as Peter instructed him before.
Reacting quickly by artificial intelligence programs response, Peter averted his gaze from the mares redirecting his attention back to laptop lying on a table with his eyes widened and leaping gracefully to its position. “Have you found Logan, Jarvis?” Stallion barked in awe.
The monitor screen, still with a digitalized Earth image, though it zoomed in closer to the Canadian reign, to Alberta province to be more specified. And moreover, a red spot started beeping in its proximity.
“It is really him?” Peter asked with a somewhat strained, yet hopeful like voice, yet also bearing a hint of enthusiasm as he watched the screen, his attention being firmly locked right on the beeping red point.
“Yes, Mr Parker.” Jarvis stoically and promisingly replied. In the instance, a small table, arguably containing so important information appeared and pointing right on the red spot. “I have made a proper scan, and all the data and computations are set and matching perfectly. A mutant X gene of DNA confirmed, as well as Adamantium substance coated on the skeleton, along with three retractable blades within both arms being present.”
“Yup! That is Logan, alright!” Peter dumbly noted, yet having a warm smile on his face with a joy being visible in his expression.
Twilight, along with Spike, Sunset, Felicia, bearers of Elements of Harmony and princesses came closer to take a better look, with a curiosity present in their faces. “Is that really Logan?” Twilight asked as she leaned her head to see a beeping red spot on screen properly.
“I am positive.” Peter replied with somewhat casual and serious tone without averting his gaze from the screen. “All the data Jarvis has collected and the computations he made are for one hundred percent matching and indicating exactly on Logan. And exactly as I have expected. He is somewhere in Northern Alberta in Canada alright.”
“Hey!” Suddenly Sunset exclaimed in awe and eying Peter curiously, yet also a bit uncertainly. “How exactly have you known that he would be right there, Peter?”
“Simply….” Peter stated simply. “Logan is a Canadian. And he is proud of it.”
“Really?” Spike trailed off with a dumbfounded expression on his scaly face.
Paying baby dragons odd reaction no mind, Peter shifted his attention back to monitor screen and started pressing buttons on the keyboard. “Alright Jarvis, set the coordinates and lock Logans current position on, so we could transport him.”
“Affirmative, Mr Parker.” Jarvis replied as he once again its systems started processing, and after several moments everything was set and done. “There. I have just locked the target on and set the coordinates from its current position across the dimensional overlap into Equestria, right here in the throne room. Everything is all set and done. You just have to press Enter button to initiate the transport.”
Hearing artificial intelligence programs response, Peter then shifted his gaze to his friends and princess standing around, having a questionable and somewhat uncertain look on his face. He really wanted and wished to see Logan once again more than anything else in the world after all those years, yet it on the other hand felt quite strange and rather unorthodox to bring yet another “alien” from another dimension to Equestria.
So, in Wolverines case, it would be rather the best when this entire thing about Logan, as yet another outworlder/or rather a mutant from a different dimension would stay between Peter, Twilight and everypony present in the throne room and Logan, better try to keep a low profile for then. Because, if ponies found out that there is another alien from a parallel universe walking among the populace, who by the way can pop out three metal retractable blades from his hooves, having a virtually indestructible metal bones and above all having enhanced regenerative powers, it might lead to an exactly the same scenario with Peter several years ago, but unfortunately with in much greater extent.
But knowing that Peter could definitely rely on support and help of his beloved wife, friends and princesses as well, it shouldn’t be that hard to keep a low profile and keeping Logans background a secret. Though, deep down, Peter also hoped that Logan would like Equestria, as well as this being some change for a gruff man. Being someone who lives in a tough world, having a tough life to endure, with a tough guy like attitude and being someone who is serious all the time and also sadly the one who rarely smiles, life in Equestria at least for some time would do some good to Logan. Hopefully.
“Peter….” Twilight dared to speak to her knight carefully. “Is everything set than?”
“Yup.” Peter simply and blankly replied to moon goddess answer.
“Is Logan about his way here into Equestria?” Spike nearly squeaked cheery.
“Yup.” Peter repeated with his head nodding.
“And will that doohickey of yours even work?” Felicia asked curiously, though watching Dimensional Dilation Accelerator with a suspicious present in her ocean blue eyes.
“It will work just fine. Trust me Felicia.” Pinkie surprisingly stated, closing her gap between herself and a cat burglar. “I know it. I have tested it all by myself. That was kinda fun.”
“Oh yeah….Unfortunately.” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and murmuring sarcastically, recalling a mention of an unfortunate incident that transpired from yesterday.
“Dimensional Dilation Accelerator connected with Jarvis own software and system, as Pinkie has stated be herself should work just fine.” Peter declared, yet strangely an undercurrent of uncertainty present in his voice.
“Should?” Cadance muttered as she eyed Peter in disbelief. “How do you meant it, Peter?”
“The thing is…” Peter chuckled sheepishly, trying to come up with a logical explanation. “As Uatu had already warned us on the first place, there is only enough energy in Accelerator to work only twice. Therefore, we could only use it right now to summon Logan in here and then to send him back home again. We then will not be able to use it the same way again.” Stallion stated sceptically and disappointed like manner.
“How come?” Sunset blurted out in disbelief.
“It is complicated.” Peter scratched a back of his neck nervously. “The science is sometimes….” But before he could finish his yet another professional and very well elaborated scientific explanation, Rainbow Dash zipped right to stallions position with as speed of a bullet, leaving a rainbow coloured blur behind and placing her hoof over his mouth.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can get the idea, Pete. And I better don’t want to hear it.” Rainbow Dash uncharacteristically nearly whined in exasperation, evidently wanting to do nothing with yet another of Peters geeky explanation.
“If you say so, Skittles. But it had been an interesting plot I was about to say. Not that quite boring one I gave the last time.” Peter smugly stated and eying the mare provocatively, before returning into his more assertive side and shifting his gaze to everypony and dragon present in the room.
“Anyway….What I am doing and that is about to happen soon, I assure all of you, on my heart and honour that it has been for a greater good for all of us and the entire Equestria, As I said before and must warn you, Logan might be on a wild card, moody and having trouble to trust the others, but on the other hoof he is a moral person, a valuable ally and good man to the core nonetheless. I believe that with his help, he will stand the chance against Grogar along with his minions and saving the Equestria. And I also believe, that Logan might use some change as well.”
Listening to young stallions decisive and honest words, Princess Celestia managed a serene and warm smile. “You trully like that Logan a lot, both as an ally and friend alike, indeed Peter. Yet, no matter what happens, you have my full support on this, as well as everypony in here. If you trully wish to see Logan once again as well as thinking it would be the best for everypony else, then just follow your heart and just bring him into Equestria and dont let anypony to tell you otherwise.”
“Thank you, Princess Celestia.” Peter stated somewhat casually, yet being also deeply charmed by sun princess willingness and understanding nature, yet giving a snow white alicorn the warmest smile he could muster .
Like they would be sharing sun goddess words in empathy at once, Luna, Cadance, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Sunset and Felicia could do nothing but agree with Celestias statement by merely nodding decisively their head. They all then shifted their concentrated gazes to Peter at once and giving their friend affirmative nods, encouraging the stallion to go for it.
Watching all his friends carefully, Peter then shifted his gaze to Twilight, who couldn’t have any different expression. Her deep violet irises full of sympathy stared into stallions own eyes, filled with encouragement and having a warm a positive smile, Twilight leaned forward, as her lips came into contact with Peters own into an affectionate kiss. However, an irritated scowl formed on Felicias face masked with her trademark cat like mask and as cat burglar hardly audibly hissed like a cat.
“Go for it, Peter.” Twilight simply stated motivational, encouraging her husband to do his thing.
Though just staring a little slack-jawed, a warm and honest smile formed on Peters face, giving his mare an affirmative nod and shifting his gaze back to Jarvis, taking a seat at the laptop. Stallion then just stared at the monitor screen, watching a still red beeping point on the screen for a while and then shifting his eyes on Enter button. He just had to press it to transport Logan from Earth across dimensional boundaries into Equestria.
Just to be absolutely sure, Peter than once again shifted his gaze to everypony standing around, who all together gave their final approving and honest nod. Stallion then finally looked at Twilight, who just like the others nod with her head in approval with a positive and encouraging smile.
In the instance, Peter returned his attention back to monitor screen and suddenly stopped perceiving the world around him, yet having honest and positive smile on his face. He just pressed the Enter button with a tip of his hoof.
“I just hope that Logan is in a good mood.”
Within the Jacks Bar loud sounds of ongoing fight and rumble were shaking the entire building and echoing throughout the peaceful snowy winter like vicinity. Suddenly, one of the thugs flew right through the window of the bar that shattered by impact while the goon hit the solid concrete.
Inside the bar, it looked like a tornado went through there, turning once a cosy bar entire interior upside down and leaving the place in a mess. And thug gang members that arrived into bar several minutes ago, didn’t fell just so good either. They had various face injuries, like bruises, broken noses or bumps aching in pain or feeling dazzled, being literally thrashed around like bags filled with garbage on a junk yard and some of them were even composed on the pile, feeling dazzled or unconscious.
Wolverine, a tough guy and battle-hardened and experienced brawler evidently showed the goons who is the boss here. And unfortunately for them, a gruff man rained the thugs with so many steel (though in Logans case adamantium) like strikes of his fists and giving them such a beatdown, that they would rather spend the rest of their lives in a hospital, than picking up to another bar ever again. And talking about and having an advantage of accelerated healing abilities along with a virtually unbreakable metal bones, someone must be a first class jerk to ever mess up with Wolverine. And in thugs case, they of course had to learn their lesson by the hard way.
Logan grabbed a much bigger and stronger goon with his left arm by his jacket by effortlesly and seemingly without any struggle lifted the guy before spinning him around, slamming and pinning him on a near wooden pillar, as the goon was struggling and panting his legs above ground in an atempt to break free from gruff mans steel like grip, yet Logan exteneded his free right arm under goons chin, having two of his claws exposed from his knuckles a his third middle one being just inchech away from thugs throat.
“Ya want it bloody?” Logan growled, having a goon locked with his adamantium claws, threatening to impale his throat with his third middle claw. The thugs breathing grew shallow, with beads of sweat forming on his forehead and having his teeth gritted with a terrified expression on his face, being and finding himself at mutants mercy.
However, another thug tried to attack from behind yet bearin an axe, threatening to chop Logans head off. Though, like knowing about an upcoming danger in advance via his animalistic super sense of hearing, Logan effortlessly threw much bigger thug away right into a table several meters away and crashing it on impact with a painful grunting. The goon swung with an axe, but reacting in time, Logan offensively swung his right arm and cutting the handle of the goons axe before its sharp blade could ever make a contact, much for the thugs utter horror.
“Had yer mommy not ever told ya yer ain't suppose ta play with a sharp objects, baby boy?” Logan huffed and delivered left front sharp kick right into his his opponents stomach with such force, causing the thug to stumble back across the room and crashing right into a slot machine.
“DIE YOU VARMINT!” Right then gang leader who was standing nearby bellowed as he pulled a pistol from his leather jacket aiming the firearm right to the X-Men. Yet, hearing a click of a hammer with his enhanced hearing and faster than an eye could follow, Logan lunged himself right in front of the gang leader within mini-seconds, narrowly dodging a bullet fired from gun point-blank in the last moment, and speed-blitzing his opponent yet with another swift left slash, his adamantium claws sliced the pistols barrel off like a hot knife through butter.
“I ain't gonna take a molten lead! It gives me terrible hangover!” Logan barked, retracting his claws on both of his arms back into his knuckles, leaving small wound holes after them, but thanks to his healing factor, the wounds got mended instantaneously, as gruff man delivered a vicious right hook across thug leaders face, followed by a sharp punch right into his gutt, as right then Logans grabbed goons collar and slammed his head into gang leaders forehead with such force, knocking his opponent down and falling unconscious on the floor.
Right then when seemingly the fight was over, Logan was still fumming yet eventually managed to calm his raging thoughts a little bit, crackling his knuckles and averting his gaze to messed up bar interior, especially beaten goons lying around just to make sure they stay down. “Is that all? Anyone else?” Gruff man huffed defiantly, yet still refusing to take his guard down, but when hearing a couple of painful groans and moans as response, Logan eventually gave himself in. “Too bad. I have just started havin' fun.” He huffed sarcastically in a disappointed like way.
Logan then shifted his gaze from the mess right to destroyed bar counter, with barman hiding behind it in fear, yet daring to peek out to make sure the brawl was over. Though he gasped nervously as he saw gruff man approaching the counter, barman stumbled on the floor as he crawled himself and crouching in the corner behind the counter, not averting his visibly terrified gaze from a gruff man.
Though, Logan merely checked damaged counter, besides with one of the goons lying over it. “Hey, bub. Th' gentlemen are gonna pay.” Logan stated gruffly and pointing his thumb behind, obviously indicating the thugs themselves, when he saw a small glass of visible beverage, he arched his arm and taking a hold on it. He raised a glass to his nose and taking a few sniffs and when fortunately finding out it was a vodka, Logan drunk the whole glass with one single gulp.
Finishing his drink, Logan put an empty glass back on the counter before arching his hand and taking his brown favourite leather jacket from the stool and taking it onto his muscular and defined physique before also reaching for his bagpack at the chair, swiftly throwing it over his shoulder. Gruff man than started rubbing within a pocket of his jacket as he pulled five dollars from it and just putting a green banknote on the counter.
The barman finally put himself together a bit and dared to stand up while staring at the money questioningly, then gazing upon Logan, yet better not daring to say a word to not provoke a gruff man any further.
“That’s fer me, bub. Keep th' change.” Logan simply replied with his trademark gruff voice and having arguably never fading serious look in his face, yet surprisingly speaking with a more moderate tone. The X-Men nod his head, like he would saying his farewell and being about to make his departure.
However, small electric sparks just and suddenly materialized out of the thin air, sparkling fiercely in the place. It was strange, therefore there was no kind of energy source, like generator that could produce any amount of power. Unfortunately, and without nobody expecting it, sparks started sparkling with even more intensity as a small orb of light materialize, which by the way could appear to be a source of the sparkling. Though, an orb steadily started growing at size, when it eventually materialized into a big swirling multi-coloured vortex of pure energy, which appeared some sort of portal.
“Whut th'…?!” Logan blurted out in confusion, watching the portal, which could also possibly be some sort of hole within time and space suspiciously and maintaining a defensive stance, ready to everything. But unfortunately, despite Logans way long life, battle-hardened nature and vast experience, he couldn’t be ready for what was about to happen within a matter of seconds.
Suddenly, and Logan could feel that as well, like some sort of strange, invisible and pulling force would take its hold on a mutant and started pulling him forward, like the portal itself would actually like to suck him right in.
“Whut th' hell is that?!” Logan barked, though being confused and not knowing what was the deal, the mutant instinctively unleashed his claws from his knuckles and slamming both on his fists right into a wooden floor, using his claws like an ice axes to hook himself on the place.
But unfortunately, a strange force that tried to suck him in suddenly and dramatically gained on strength and Logan did everything he could, with his teeth gritted and eyes shut down to hold himself with his claws, though quite frantically as his entire frame started hovering in the mid-air by the strong sucking force vacuum of the portal.
But eventually, and much for gruff mans dismay, his claws finally lost their grip with the floor, causing Logan to stumble backwards, making several unwilling somersaults in the mid-air and being sucked right into energy portal.
"OH CRUD!!!" Wolverine yelled out aloud curing before disappearing in a flash of light in the portal. And then, the portal, just as fast as it appeared, that fast it also closed and fading away from the existence, much more for the already baffled barmans awe.
Being still hanged on the rope in a spy like style over the edge of the roof of the Canterlot castle and peeking through the large window inside the throne room, Spot grinned maliciously yet having a satisfied look on his dog like face. Whatever was transpiring inside, it was something and exactly that the Diamond Dogs were waiting for and what their entire secret mission was about. “Aah! That’s the cue.”
A little bulldog climbed on the rope up back on the roof edge, rubbing in his bag for a while when he finally pulled his paw out clenched in fist. When he opened it, he was holding a pair of small earplugs. Yet strangely, they were sparkling a bit, like some sort of magic aura would engulfing them, indicating that they might indeed be enchanted. He then pulled a Communicator device from his black spy suit, placing it closer to his fanged mouth and started talking into it.
“Fido….Do you copy?”
“Loud and clear, Spot.” Fidos much deeper and gruff voice echoed right from the talking box, though sounding a little distorted. “What is up?”
“It has already started. It is time to initiate a phase number two. Do it now.” Spot chuckled for himself and instructing his taller dog companion on the distance via the telecommunication like device.
“With pleasure.” Fido smirked deviously, as taller dog reached into his bag and pulling his very own pair of enchanted earplugs. Taller bulldog very well put the earplug into his ears, before arching his huge strong paw and shifting a main switch of the jammer, activating it. In the instance, the device, as Diamond Dogs mentioned before, constructed and designed by Catrina, the Feline Sorceress herself started working. And the crystal-like antennas on the jamming like device started producing and broadcasting some sort of radio waves of extremely low frequency, that carried away throughout the vicinity.
A strong and much bigger bulldog could only smirk slyly to himself, seemingly satisfied with his act as he took his very own Communicator, somewhat tuning the device via rotating its seal around its axis before started talking into it. “Hey, Rover. This is Fido speaking. The phase two has just been carried out from our part. Now the rest is up to you.”
Traveling through the wormhole, well rather more specifically, “the tunnel” across time and space in a speed faster than light, Logan, despite seemingly confused and having no idea what exactly was going, on yet maintaining his trademark ever serious and grumpy like look on his face nonetheless was already, though unwillingly on his way from Earth right to another dimension….to the Equestria.
“Whut th' hell is goin' on?! Where am I flyin' ta?” Logan proceed through his gritted teeth. Though still having not even slightest of idea where he was taking to, yet the gruff man didn’t like the sound of that and instinctively knowing that something was up.
In the throne room, Dimensional Dilation Accelerator, controlled remotely by Peter with a help and aid of Jarvis, an advanced technology device was generating an energy beam right from its objective, projecting and creating an exactly the same portal of an interdimensional origins along with electrical sparks sparkling around it, the same one that just sucked Logan in several minutes early back on Earth. Peter did it. He activated Dimensional Dilation Accelerator and opening an interdimensional gateway between Equestria and his old home world on Earth.
Though, a slight tension could be felt within the room, everything seemed to be going just fine and under control. On Jarvis monitor screen, there was a digitalized image with two points, indicating one on the left being Earth and the second on the right as Equestria. The points were both connected with a straight line, which apparently appears to be something like an interdimensional bridge/worm hole across both worlds and a small red beeping point moving slowly on the line from Earth directly to Equestria.
“Everything is going well and according the plan, Mr Parker.” Jarvis stated with promising and reassuring manner. “Estimating, within eight minutes, more or less, Wolverine should cross the dimensional overlap and arrive into Equestria right on schedule.”
“That is so cool, Jarvis.” Peter exclaimed in a near squeak, with a joy present in his voice. “I can hardly wait.”
“So, Logan is going to arrive in a matter of eight minutes? That’s great.” Twilight exclaimed as well, sharing her husbands joy and enthusiasm.
“However….” Peter remarked, as suddenly an unusual yet a good idea flashed within his mind like a spark by flint stones, standing up from the chair and closing his gap between Jarvis and everypony standing around. “I have been wondring….When Logan arrives in here…. Isn’t he actually….Turn into a pony as well? Just like me, Aunt May and Felicia?”
It was a good point though. When Peter (still in his human form) first arrived into Equestria and while fighting a rampaging dragon that attacked and terrorized Ponyville, he felt a strange and unusual sensation, along with dizziness and eventually loosing consciousness via fainting, only to wake up three days later and much for his horror, finding himself as an equine, or more precisely an unicorn pony. Though, it still didn’t get clear and not being fully sure, it arguably caused a magic of the Equestria itself, as its natural form of energy, having an effect on Peters body in a sudden change of appearance.
Yet, exactly the same thing happened to Felicia during her arrival to Equestria and Aunt May. Though, unlike Peter, his beloved aunt took a form of pegasus, yet the Cat Burglar took a form of earth pony, which by the way didn’t seem as restrain or limitation to the mare, in the contrary, Felicias pony form enhanced all of her physical attributes beyond their normal limits. Yet in Peters case, as an unicorn, the stallion was endowed with a magic. And despite and thanks to Twilights training and help, Peter gained a better hold and control over his magical abilities, but unfortunately, stallion was forced to give up his magic in order to seal Nightmare Moon back into Lunas body with it.
Although, being an unicorn with magic, which by the way looked like pretty weird, Peter didn’t seem to mind at all the loose of his magic, since he had always rather counted on his spider like abilities, naturally high intellect, skills and cunning. Though, he at times seemed somewhat troubled or even jealous not being rather a pegasus, like his Aunt May was. But than again, since his daughter Mayday couldn’t figure out how to use her wings properly, Peter didn’t felt so obsolete after all anymore.
However, and like it would have some special meaning, there was no telling or getting to know what kind of pony Logan would become, either an earth pony, unicorn or pegasus.
Yet, Peters remark earned a couple of collective yet concerned gazes from others. “You know, Peter….” Luna trailed off, tapping her hoof over her chin thoughtfully. “This…Is actually a good point. But come to think of it, when it happened to you, Felicia Hardy and Ms May, it may by highly probable that the same thing will happen to Logan as well.” Dark blue alicorn considered as she gazed to her older sister, that also seemed thoughtful, considering the possibility.
“You know…” Twilight suddenly spoke off and attracting the attention of everypony around her. “There IS a clear possibility that Logan could change as well. Since the magic of our world being an unique form or energy itself and therefore having a positive or passive effects on ponies as natural inhabitants of Equestria. But, when coming on contact with someone of an alien origins, like you Peter, Aunt May and Felicia for instance, the magic must have had a way more different effects on your biology than it would normally react on a normal pony. Therefore, the magic must have transformed you in order to make you synchronize with a balance of this world.”
Young alicorn princess unique professional statement earned even more amazement from her friends standing around, especially from her former mentor. “You may be apparently right there Twilight.” Princess Celestia agreed with her former students statement and though still seeming bewildered a bit, a snow white taller alicorn managed a serene smile. “As you all arguably know, everything in Equestria coexisted in a mutual yet fragile balance along with its magic, as its natural source of energy from the beginning of time. Every other creatures living in Equestria, either ponies, dragons, griffons or changelings must all understand the importance of that balance, to know their own place and role on this world and value each other in order to maintain the harmony in order an intact.” Celestias words were incredibly gentle and bearing so much wisdom and understanding
"My guess is, that when Peter was first summoned into Equestria years ago, as well as Ms May and Felicia Hardy then, in order to maintain natural balance and reacting completely differently on their alien like biology, the magical energies transformed them into ponies, in order to maintain natural balance of this world. Something like a natural defensive mechanism of sorts.” Sunset Shimmer then spoke of by putting a theory of her own that by the way also bore lots od sense.
“Well….” Suddenly Felicia, interjected. “Come to think of lots of weird stuff that happened to us lately. I mean like reality warping, dark embodiments like alter ego, magic stuff, a world inhabited by talking ponies, as well as me gaining an equine form myself, I am more than willing to believe that practically anything may happen.” Cat burglar huffed in giving in like way before whipping her tail..
Yet, thinking nothing and not letting herself to distraught by little dragons antics, Princess Celestia closed her gap between Spike and Luna. “PLets just not be hasty and keep ourselves cool. We will just have to wait and see how the things are going to evolve.” Snow white alicorn stated with her trademark gentle tone, trying to relive the tension and moderate the others.
But suddenly, and all at once, Peter straightened himself up. He felt a very well-known and familiar tingling sensation occurring in the back of his cranium. His trusty Spider-Sense was buzzling, signalizing an upcoming danger, yet whatever it was, the ringing didn’t sound so intense like when sensing a danger about that magical explosion or Grogars presence. This buzzling, was on the other hoof quite different this time. Like Peter could sense some sort of radio waves of a very low frequencies.
Being aware of her husbands somewhat cautious and straightened posture, yet knowing very well that something was wrong, Twilight trotted closer to Peters side. “Is…Something wrong, Peter?” Young princess asked cautiously as well as the others watched their friends reaction carefully.
“I am….Not sure.” Peter dumbly replied, obviously still feeling uncertain about this kind of sensation. “My Spider-Sense...Is picking up some sorts of radio like waves of a very low frequency.”
“Radio waves?” Fluttershy murmured nervously. “What does it mean, Peter?”
“I don’t know. But, something is wrong. Everypony on your guard.” Stallion warned his friends as he maintained a vigilant like stance.
But suddenly, Peters Spider-Sense, what at first started as a mild buzzling, literally blared out like crazy, and in the instance, a dimensional portal still generated by Dimensional Dilation Accelerator suddenly and somewhat started fluctuating or even distorting and producing more electrical sparks, that started sparkling more intensively, as it even looked like the portal would be producing some sort of miniature storm or something.
“And here it comes!” Young stallion casually jerked out as he leaped right to Jarvis at the table and started pressing button on laptop keyboard.
“What in the world?!” Cadance exclaimed in awe with her brow widened, watching somewhat fluctuating portal questioningly, an uncertainty present in her voice.
“What is happening?” Rarity exclaimed in worry, sharing Crystal Empires rulers utter reaction.
“Peter…?!” Twilight blurted out in panic as she trotted her way and joining her stallions side at the table.
“The radio waves….” Peter cautiously trailed off, his voice lacking any humour. “Wherever they are coming from, it appears, they are interacting with Dimensional Dilation Accelerator frequencies and disturbing the signal across the portal!” Stallion explained as he watched ever fluctuating and raging portal cautiously, that was gaining on a more and more intensity every moment. Biting down his lip, Peter gazed upon monitor screen nervously. “Jarvis?”
“Affirmative, Mr Parker.” Jarvis positively stated without losing his stoic and even out voice. “The waves of very low frequencies are indeed interfacing with the Dimensional Dilation Accelerators mechanisms own frequencies and disturbing a power vortex within a portal. The disturbance is steadily gaining on strength and overloading mechanisms processor.”
“No kidding.” Peter muttered sarcastically as continued tapping on the keyboard and checking the monitor screen that was flickering a bit, yet Peter could still see Jarvis icon and a window with Logans like red beeping spot on its way from Earth to Equestria through dimensional bridge like line, but unfortunately, the spot so far managed to get behind half of the way. “Jarvis. How much time is left before Logan arrives?”
“Approximately….Four more minutes and twenty six seconds.” Jarvis replied. “Yet at least the good news is that Logan has already passed dimensional overlap and being in Equestrias dimension.”
“Boy. Like that sounds very reassuring.” Peter thought for himself sarcastically
However, in the instance, and like there wasn’t enough excitement, Peters Spider-Sense blurred once again as the dimensional portal distorted again and this time released a massive burst of flashing lightnings around the throne room.
“LOOK OUT!!!” Peter shouted, as several lightning bolts burst their way right to otherpony standing around. Felicia, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie jumped aside before lightning could hit them, therefore hitting only a marble floor instead.
Rainbow Dash on the other hoof took her frame into the air and swiftly and with a dazzling speed maneuvering between lightings and leaving rainbow coloured blur behind her trail, while Fluttershy squeaked terrified and crouching under the table to cover herself.
"Hurry! Cast a magic barrier, now!" Princess Celestia commanded as she along with Luna and Cadance immediately casted an energy force field via their horns to prevent more of the lightings to get through and protect their friends, as several other bolts hit the energy like bubble, yet royal alicorns holding their ground.
One of the lighting bolts was about to hit Spike, but Sunset just in time used her magic to teleport him out of the lightings reach, as baby dragon once again reappeared in a flash of light in safety behind the magical shield. “Phjuf! That was a close one. Thanks Sunset.” Spike relieved himself, thanking fiery maned unicorn.
“Don’t mention it, Spike.” Sunset replied and smiling on dragon warmly, yet maintaining defensive stance. “But dont thank just yet.”
Twilight managed to get closer to Peter, who was working on Jarvis quite frantically, ducking from lightning generated by a raging and distorting portal, her horn started glowing with her trademark violet magic aura and creating her very own energy like force filed to protect herself and Peter alike. “Peter! Can you stop this?” The mare exclaimed, concentrating her thoughts to keep the energy shield steady and hoping for her husband being up to something.
“The power vortex within the portal is becoming increasingly unstable! And I still cannot figure out where are those blasted radio waves coming from!” Stallion exclaimed, biting down his lip nervously with a frustration present in his voice. “Me and Jarvis are doing everything we can to keep the portal under control!”
“Unfortunately…” Jarvis spoke off, his usually stoic voice being suddenly changed into more serious and cautious. “The radio wave frequencies are messing up and keep overloading Dimensional Dilation Accelerators system as well as my own circuits. I don’t know how much longer I will be able to keep the portal steady.”
Suddenly, the portal distorted and burst out once again which seemed like a little implosion, releasing yet another rain of lightning, but fortunately, everypony in the throne were protected by Twilights, Celestias, Lunas and Cadances energy shield, as the bolts of energy hit, yet not being able to pierce the protecting like force field.
“Now what?!” Rainbow Dash jerked out with an odd combination of sarcasm and exasperation like she would be expecting more bad things to happen, which by the way wasn’t too far from truth.
“Jarvis?!” Peter asked quite desperately, expecting from artificial intelligence program some answers and hopefully some solution.
“There has just been another massive disturbance within the portal.” Jarvis explained as the monitor screen kept glitching and right in the window, as Logans red beeping point, still on its way on a portal like bridge line, suddenly something disturbing happened, much for Peters and Twilights dismay. A sudden and strange yellow glitch like spot appeared right into the line between red point and finish like point of Equestria.
“What…Is that?” Twilight asked cautiously in a low somewhat restrained voice, with a present hint of uncertainty and pointing he hoof on the screen.
“It would appear that the due to radio waves frequencies and as well as ever raising instability of portals power vortex must have somehow disturbed a balance of the worm hole inside and therefore tearing a dimensional hole in time and space in Equestria. That way, the coordinates of Logans expected arrival are stripped and the course of interdimensional travel is compromisde. He might end up anywhere in the Equesria.” Jarvis explained.
The information however shocked both Peter and Twilight so much that they could do nothing but look at each other slack jawed, with terrified expressions and worrying for their friends sake. Yet, Peter luckily managed to recollect his senses enough by shaking his head and started pressing keyboard again in an attempt to get situation under control. “Come on, Jarvis! There has to be a way how to stabilize the Accelerator and returning the portal into normal!”
“I am sorry, Mr Parker." Jarvis unfortunately sounded somewhat disappointed and sceptical. “ But that would be highly implausible and difficult to accomplish. A as long as those radio waves are consistently emitted and messing up and disrupting Accelerators portal generating mechanism, I am afraid and according to my calculations there is no other way than turn the Accelerator down, disrupt the process and close the portal.”
“What!? You mean, like leaving Logan stuck in wormhole or ending up somewhere completely else in Equestria, or worse….Being stuck within the worm hole for all eternity?” Peter exclaimed in a pure frustration, of course and unfortunately being so stunned or rather offended by Jarvis obvious logical and probably the only suggestion. “Never! There has to be something we can do….”
Meanwhile within a wormhole tunnel, Logan was still on his way through the seemingly never-ending tunnel, traveling through space time continuum in a warp like speed. Despite still not figuring out what was this all about, Logan started having a strange suspicious as a well-known scowl formed on mutants rather hirsute face.
“Whut th' hell?!” Logan swore as suddenly yet another sparkling energy vortex, which though resembled more likely some sort of hole in a time and space just appeared out of nowhere over hundred meters away right in the tunnel, as its energy like field started fluctuating a little bit, seemingly growing unstable. Yet, some sort of pulling/sucking like vacuum force took its possession of Logan and started pulling him right into the hole.
“Oh crud! Just when I have just started enjoyin' th' ride.” Wolverine grumbled under his breath as he eventually arrived, or rather in that case being sucked right to the power vortex like hole, literally, before disappearing in it.
Yet another though this time much stronger implosion echoed right from the portal that distorted again and releasing yet another series of lightning bolts that once again bombarded the magical force field generated by princesses and protecting everypony under it. Unfortunately, in the same moment, being already overheated and unstable from so much disturbance by radio waves, a short-circuit sparkled through Dimensional Dilation Accelerator, traveling throughout the cable connecting the device to Jarvis, shocking the laptops own hardware and keyboard.
Peters Spider-Sense started ringing again, yet it was quite late, as electrical sparks circuiting through the laptop changeling through both of stallions hooves. “OUCH!!! The short-circuit!” Peter shrieked in pain and instinctively getting his hooves out of the keyboard.
“Short…Cir…Cuit…!” Jarvis somewhat jerked out with unusually distorted voice and being seemingly like in pain, evidently by short-circuit overloading his hardware and circuits. “Mal...Func…Tion…Of…The…System…!” Jarvis murmured as his wavering voice eventually died down completely and his icon somewhat going blank.
“JARVIS!” Peter and Twilight both exclaimed simultaneously in panic, despite being a mere artificially intelligent program, the power couple evidently showed a concern and worrying for their digital friends condition.
But unfortunately, and like there were more bad things to occur, exactly as Rainbow Dashs worries would confirm, the dimensional portal, although luckily stopped generating lightning, yet suddenly creating a powerful vacuum like pressure, that started immediately sucking everything inside like a vacuum cleaner.
“What in tarnation…?!” Applejack exclaimed in awe, yet keeping her frame steady and holding her trademark cowboy hat with her hoof so it couldn’t be sucked into a portal.
“What is happening now?!” Rarity literally shrieked horrified as she stared at the portal.
Gritting his teeth nervously and being quite short to answer, Peter checked the portal questioningly, trying to analyse what the problem was. “Those radio frequencies must have somehow disrupted and shifting the worm holes polarity, making the portal even more unstable and right now it functions something like a vacuum cleaner! Instead of working in straight line forward, it now sucks everything in!”
“Oh my goodness…Oh my goodness…” Fluttershy stammered nervously, with her hooves placed on her cheeks as she stared at the portal with a terrified expression.
Suddenly, the vacuum pressure gained on strength and unfortunately, Pinkie couldn’t hold herself and the sucking pressure of the portal snatched her from the marble flour and pulling the pink party pony right in, squeaking in panic. Nearly every mare shrieked in horror, like it would have a horrible effect on an outcome.
But fortunately, surprisingly Felicia swung one of her miniature grappling hook like claw right from her that wrapped itself around one of Pinkies hind leg, stopping the mare just in time before she could be sucked into the portal.
“Don’t worry, hun! I got you!” Felicia reassuringly jerked out as she held Pinkie on the rope. Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash of course just didn’t stand around and immediately gave a cat burglar a helping hoof by holding the rope fest and trying to pull Pinkie back from portals reach.
Right in that moment, Twilight redirected her magical shield right to the portal itself, in an attempt to block or negate the vacuum pressure, though the young princess found it relatively difficult as a pressure of portals sucking stream was a way too intense and slowly started getting on to Twilight. Yet, seeing young princess efforts, Princess Celestia, Luna and Cadance immediately joined Twilights side and each mare generated her own magical aura through her horn and combining them all together into one powerful force field and literally locking the portal along with Dimensional Dilation Accelerator down in it, therefore managing to negate the sucking vacuum like pressure.
“Peter!” Princess Celestia proceed through her gritted teeth, sun goddess concentrating her magic on ever raging portal. “You must find a way to stabilize the portal!”
“I am trying, but nothing is working!” Peter replied quite desperately, pressing the keyboard with his hoof frantically in a desperate attempt to keep the portal steady, yet failing miserably. “The Accelerator cannot take much more! There is a danger that it could blow up and frying Jarvis!”
"Oh boy! Nothing but a little pressure...." Spike grumbled incoherently under his breath
“Then there is no other way but to do! You must shut the Accelerator down and close the portal!” Luna instructed her friend as the last remaining resort to do.
“But…What about Logan?!” Peter exclaimed, protecting about princess of the night statement and worrying for Logans safety.
“Peter…” Twilight proceed through her teeth, with her voice restrained. “It is the only chance!” Though, the mare then surprisingly tuned into more reassuring and carrying tone. “I promise…We will then do anything we can to save and find Logan. Trust me.”
“We don’t know how much longer we can hold the force field! The pressure of the portal is way too strong!” Cadance blurted out as seemingly starting wavering.
“Um...Spider. If you are about to make your choice, now would be the perfect time!” Felicia exclaimed with a mixture of sarcasm and restrain.
Listening to his wifes pleas as well as watching Celestia, Luna and Cadance holding the magic barrier over the raging and fluctuating portal, which by the way seemed weakening every moment, and also seeing Dimensional Dilation Accelerator overloaded with electrical sparks generating from the device, despite having not much time, Peter considered the situation with his rattling nerves.
The situation was truly getting critical and there was much on stake. Peter was worrying for his friends and family safety, but he as well didn’t want to put his old friend, who by the way was still on his way through the portal into danger. But then again, with the portal continuing to suck everything within its reach as well as danger or Dimensional Dilation Accelerator blowing up from the overload, was far worse scenario imaginable. Therefore, there would be practically no way how to save Logan trapped within a worm hole possibly for all eternity. Despite it was against his own better judgement, Peter knew very well what needed to be done.
“Ah applesauce!” Peter muttered incoherently, as he swiftly unplugged the cable connecting Jarvis with the Accelerator and running to Twilights and princesses side. “Alright then. I have just unplugged Jarvis so he couldn’t get shocked any further. But unfortunately, I couldn’t close the portal via Accelerator remotely. And since Jarvis is all but out of order, I have no choice but close it manually.” Peter explained as he glanced upon to Twilight. "Twilight! I need you to make at least a small hole o slit so I could get inside and press the main power button in order to close the portal.”
“Are you crazy?” twilight interjected, like she would be objecting with Peters suggestion, yet also with concern in her expression while still doing her best to keep her concentration in order to maintain the magic barrier effect. “You will get suck inside!”
However despite the seriousness of the situation and surprisingly managed a smirk. “I guess you have you forgotten my ability to stick up on virtually any surface, honey? I may crawl my way right to the Accelerator behind the force field and shut it down.”
Considering stallions response, young princess eyed Peter bewildered. “That’s….A pretty good point.”
Smirking once again, Peter gazed upon his wife. “Very well, Twilight. I need you to open a hole within the force field so I could sneak in and close the portal.”
Though feeling uncertain and being a reluctant to comply her husbands request, but when seeing his brown irises full of determination, young alicorn knew that there was no point in attempt to discourage Peter from it, which by the way seemed pretty reckless. Yet, the mare eventually smiled warmly and giving herself in. “Alright, Peter. But please, just be careful.”
“Don’t worry, honey. You know what might kill me. And if something….I will send you a postcard from the worm hole or If I am lucky, from the another dimension, somehow.” Peter reassured Twilight with a soft and kind tone, yet not forgiving himself a small hint of sarcasm in his tone and kissing her mares cheek in affection.
Despite rolling her eyes in annoyement by Peters quipping, yet believing in her stallion, Twilight smiled at Peter warmly with her head nodding and concentrating her magic through her horn and opening a small hole in force field so Peter could squeeze through it. But unfortunately, yet it could be expected, a powerful vacuum sucking like pressure produced by the raging portal got through the hole.
“Alright, Peter! Go!” Twilight encouraged Peter to go for it.
Only nodding his head and not wasting any more time, Peter bounced gracefully and leaping right into the hole, also being assisted by a vacuum suck. The stallion landed on the floor and instinctively using his ability to adhere himself on any surface into crouching like position and pinning himself to marble surface, as his body refused to move from the spot where he crouched, while his chocolate massed mane and tail were waving uncontrollably in air due to vacuum pressure.
Twilight, though reluctantly meanwhile closed hole behind him again, while Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Sunset were still holding the force field and the others were watching the entire drama from the safe distance.
“Oh boy! Isn’t that a breath of a fresh air. Very at least, there wouldn’t be a need to buy a Hoover.” Peter. Still adhered in the floor watched the ever raging and fluctuating portal with a vacuum like pressure, that appeared to be steadily gaining on strength along with Dimensional Dilation Accelerator, luckily still fixed on a metal holder, because otherwise the device would by already sucked into the portal as well. But unfortunately, and much for Peters horror, the advanced technology device started literally pulsing with electrical sparks from the overload, threatening to blow up.
“Logan. Please forgive me for this, old chump.” Realizing that there was no much time left, yet knowing what had to be done, Peter sprung his body like a spring and performing one single jump like a frog, though in his case and as Peter would put it like a “jumping spider”, as he gracefully soared through the air, yet coordinating his glide carefully so he couldn’t get himself sucked, Peter managed to land right at the Dimensional Dilation Accelerator position, once again using his hind hooves to stick on the floor and pressing red main power button on the device.
Though, of course Peter sharply moved his hoof away by instincts as electricity channelled through his hoof, just like before with Jarvis. “OUCH!!! It is hot!” Peter shrieked in pain.
In the instance, the objective stopped emitting a beam generating the portal, as suddenly an extreme sucking force slowly yet surely died out as the dimensional gateway eventually ceased fluctuating and slowly dying out, before fading away from the existence completely. The danger passed.
Right then, Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Twilight could finally negate the force field that was shielding the portal and taking some rest, while Spike, Felicia, Sunset Shimmer and bearers of Elements of Harmony, seeing the danger was already passed managed to peeked out or leaving their specific shelters, yet still bearing bewildered and uncertain looks.
Twilight immediately trotted to join his husbands side and hugging Peter tightly around his neck, still a bit terrified, yet also being relieved and happy for her stallion to alright. Peter returned Twilights hug with his own, wrapping his hooves over mares body and nuzzling his cheek against hers soothingly that everything was alright.
But unfortunately, their problems had just started.
To be continued....
