"So that's why you're afraid of hitting me, cause your superhero powers would have sent me flying through a wall!"
"For the last time, I'm not a superhero, and it's more me punching a hole in your body instead of you crashing into a wall."
"But didn't you stop a cosmic horror? Did you get anything out of it?"
"Umm... a vacation and dominion of this world."
"Wait, you own Equus?"
"Sort of. Maybe. Depends on your point of view, but mostly it means that nopony from another dimension would be coming over without my permission. So it's more of a 'leave this world alone' kind of thing to other Dimensional Lords and their agents, and perhaps a bit to the Magisters of Time as well," I answered as Party and I were going down a hallway. After dinner, Celestia decided to retire for the night, while Luna had to attend to her duties, much to her distaste since she wanted to find out more about me after learning the truth. I wonder how she'll react if I told her that I once pulled my spine out before turning it into a makeshift blade-whip? Wasn't pleasant, but it served its purpose, though I only had that ability when I went through my first transformation, my second one got rid of it entirely.
"So you're not going to proclaim yourself as queen of the world?" Party asked as she circled around me as she hovered in the air.
"That is way too much responsibility for my tastes, even taking some of the workloads from mom or aunt Celestia when I'm older isn't something I want to do," I answered, huffing at the idea at me ruling the world. I give it ten minutes before everypony wants my head on a pike.
"But you're a princess, shouldn't you be doing so awesome?"
"Well, if there is a danger to the world or Equestria, then just pick me up and throw me at it. I'll take it out, problem solved, and everypony will be happy to have me around," I replied with a roll of my eyes. "By the way, how did your friends handle you sticking around still?"
"They were apprehensive at first, due to being worried about Rainbow and Pinkie, but after hearing from them that they want to still fused still, they decided to accept it. They figured that if those two want this still, it would be wrong to break them apart," Party answered with a smile.
"Alright, though what is going on with those two anyway? I only heard them saying that Pinkie Promise since you came here," I asked.
"Oh, they just feel like it's redundant to say their thoughts when mine matches them so easily. Everytime they start to discuss ideas, I came up with the idea that they always both agree is best. After a while, they just felt like watching and enjoying the show, and let me do my thing!" Party replied.
"Hmm... then I need those two to think about something really important then," I started to say as I came to a stop, giving Party a serious look that caused her to land down on the ground. "Do you two ever want to return to your own bodies?"
Her smile fading away as she took on a thoughtful look, Party just stared at me as Pinkie said, I don't know yet... I mean, it is so much fun to be flying, and the party ideas that Party is coming up with is so awesome!
Yeah, I just feel too awesome to quit this now, and I've seen Party lifting ten times of what I could so far! And the tricks we can pull off like this, it's so super duper awesome to do! Rainbow added in, causing me to frown.
"Do you two realize that you're sounding a bit like your fusion partner?" I pointed out, causing Party to blink as I received a 'huh' from the both of them. "It seems like you two are starting to pick up traits from the other, meaning that the fusion is starting to affect your minds as well. It may be possible that your minds would even unite, resulting in just Party."
A look of concern appeared on Party's face as she asked, "Wait, if that happens, would that mean they're gone for good?"
Shaking my head, I answered, "No, I still have my samples of those two, so even if that scenario happens, I would still have the means to pull you two out. But with that possibility firmly on the table, do you two still desire to remain fused?"
As an expression of relief came onto Party's face, Rainbow said, Well... this is so much fun, and since you still have precautions to go that far... I'm okay with staying like this still if Pinkie is. Besides, she's an awesome fusion party, and Party is an awesome fusion that I might not mind being all the time if this happens.
If Rainbow's okay, I'm okay too! Party is a blast, and I bet so many more ponies would have some awesome fun with her in parties, we can even do stunt shows too! Pinkie added.
"Alright... as long as you two know the risks, and if one of you change your minds, then your fusion would dissolve instantly. Just give your friends and family a heads up about this," I responded before resuming our walk.
"Okey-dokey!" Party exclaimed with a salute, causing me to roll my eyes as she hopped back into the air. "Hey, since fusion is so awesome, are you planning on letting more ponies fuse if they want to try it?"
Pausing for a brief moment, I blinked for a moment before answering, "I don't know, we'll see how you pan out first. Might be too soon to even consider that possibility before knowing all the potential results from you."
Hovering in front of me, Party rolled her eyes as she responded, "Jeeze, you sound like Twilight. Don't be such a party-pooper."
Snorting, I countered, "Well, I came up with the spell, so I call the shots on how to use it," as we came out to the garden. Unfurling my wings as I stretched their muscles, I said, "Okay, ready to teach me some more flying tips?"
"Of course! And then we can spar some more? I really want to see what a superhero like you can do!"
"I said I'm not a superhero!"
"...You said you don't want to harm Party, but you have her in a headlock, my daughter."
"Hey, I"m not hurting her, I'm just not letting go."
"Get off already!" Party exclaimed as she shook me about, as I struggled to hang on. Grappling with an unpredictable mare proved to be a fresh experience, as she flailed about in ways that I never saw before. Or maybe it's because Pinkie might be part elastic, and Party inherited that trait.
"But what is the point of this?" Luna asked, having just come out into the garden after finishing her duties.
"Party is the most unpr—whoa!" I started to explain before Party did an aerial buck while spinning about, yet I still hung on. "As I was saying, she's unpredictable, so this will introduce me to a few new tactics to throw off a pony that has you in a headlock."
"Very well, but it is time for this session to end, for there are things we need to discuss," Luna ordered, causing Party to let out a moan of disappointment as I let go of her.
As the two of us landed on the ground, I asked, "Okay, what is it we need to talk about?"
"It is about you being a Dimensional Lord. While you did give us a basic summary about them and yourself, I need to know if they or... you would be a threat to this world and it's natural order," Luna said while adopting a firm look, which weakened when I just chuckled at her.
"Relax, they're not going to interfere unless an instability will occur, and I'm not seeking to upset the status quo. If anything, any disruptions I would probably end up doing is based on what responsibilities you and Celestia decide to give me when I'm older. Otherwise, I rather be a minor footnote in the history books," I replied, only for Party to give me a look of confusion as she tilted her head.
"But you're a Dimensional Lord and an alicorn princess. Aren't you rewriting history already just by being here?" Party asked, causing me to frown at her.
"Fine, be as minor as I can be then," I muttered out before feeling Luna's hoof ruffling my mane. "Hey! Stop that!" I demanded as I swat a hoof at her. "Remember that I'm over two hundred years old?"
Chuckling, Luna countered, "And I'm over a thousand years, so you're still a toddler in alicorn terms," before leaning down to nuzzle me, much to my determent as I tried to pull away from it. "And remember, you agreed for us to be your mother still, hence, I plan on mothering you still."
"Oh joy, so is there anything else we need to discuss?" I asked as I back away from Luna's display of motherly affection.
"Yes, there is more," Luna answered as she pulled her head back. "Is there any way your powers could be used for the benefit of Equestria and Equus itself?"
"Ah, the typical use of all potential assets for the benefit of all deal," I replied with a roll of my eyes, causing Luna to frown.
"I didn't intend to ma—"
"Nah, it's fine, cause for the most part, I can't really do so much right now. Most I can do is offensive, so I can only be a protector for the land. Maybe I can do more when I learn more magic and see what my powers can do when mixed with it, but for the most part, it's just fighting and... this," I said as I pointed at Party, who was just looking at us with a smile.
"Yes... that is certainly an innovation. But if you can be a guardian for this world, surely you could think of an alternative use for the techniques you employ for battle," Luna stated, only to look confused as I let out a laugh at her.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but I mostly fight in a physical fashion, with heavy use of weaponry," I countered.
"Wait, you fight with weapons and not with your superpowers?" Party asked with a disappointed frown.
"Well, it's not like I use normal weapons, if only I regained that ability..." I answered before coming to a stop, as I looked at my hoof for a brief moment before holding it out as I began to concentrate. Within mere seconds, a silver sword materializes in my hoof, which was a pleasant surprise until I dropped it as I noticed that it was of a size meant to be used for an adult pony. As the tip of the blade hit the ground and sank into it, I looked at Luna and Party only to see their shocked expressions. "Yeah... this is one of my more well-used abilities..."
As Luna gaped in shock as me, I could only imagine that she was thinking about the horror of having a child that could create weapons at a whim, till Party shouted, "That is so awesome!" That instead caused me to worry about what kind of priorities Rainbow has since I figured that it was her side that enjoyed seeing this little feat. Maybe I should have gone for a calmer pair for a fusion after all.
