"Eeeeeevee Mooon~. Wake up~. Please don't die on me~!"

"Oscar!" Cortana shouted, offended.

"Hey, it's not my fault. I didn't tell him to attack the Bane-Grunts," I replied, still shaking Eevee Mon. "Which was awesome, I'm not going to lie. You know what would be more awesome? Getting, at least, the popcorn machine running and- On second thought, getting the Eevium Z and seeing the effects of it first hand would be cool."

"Since we're talking 'pokemanz', where's our other five?" Rouge asked, the projector on the ultimatrix showing a hologram of five empty slots. "And how did Giffany become a fairy?!"

"You mean my hard light holographic fairy form?" Giffany began, "Go to TOM and ask Sarah."

"Girls, I think Eevee Mon is dying," I said, concerned. I mean, he's like my Pikachu to my Ash! My Dark Magician to my Yugi Moto! My Old Yeller to- I have not seen Old Yeller. Heard it's a story you don't want to put down.

"No. I just head butted a brick wall." Eevee Mon muttered, his tiny paws gripping his head.

I got up from my seat and slapped a health pack against Eevee Mon's face, "Sorry little buddy..."

Eevee Mon got up, stretching himself awake, "You know there are other ways to administer-"

"Good, your pet is fine. Now can we hurry?!" Jorgen Von Strangle asked, spinning his massive wand. "Everyone is finding out why they're here. I am currently in the position to offer your leave before I have to use more force than necessary."

"Can we at least take the food?" I asked. He cocked his wand, the star glowing as I moved Eevee Mon, his food, and my broken gear into my inventory. I rolled forward, turning into tiny white metal aliens dressed like Equestria Girls Vinyl Scratch: DJ Echo Echo. In mid-roll I split into five Echos, running around Jorgen's knees. As we ran, two Echos used a rope to bind his feet while another Echo multiplied into a counterweight of Echos before forming back into one, laughing as he ran. "Eat my shorts!" Two others down the hall added, "And bite my shiny metal-"

One Echo patted his head, "Sorry sir, I tend to have bad ideas. Might happen again."





Throughout the announcement, I kept reminding myself of my place as guest within the flying fortress... mostly filled with pairs of identical ponies. I found the meeting room and entered it.

"...and I would like to address the banana currently rampaging in the training room and why we're not rescuing Scootaloo from said training room?" A suited Cookie Monster asked, looking around as his eye met me and the other on Derpy. "Or we can put that on hold as we bring the Great Fandom Man up to speed."

I held two fingers, "Let me add a couple things: I am not 'the Great'; leave that for Trixie. I have limited access to my OP gear, which is having maintenance so if you hear bubble wrap it is likely the suit's dimensions reacquainting itself to my body." I then took a seat, "With that said: what's with the rampaging banana, I hear?"

Cookie shook his head, "Nothing, I hope." He took his seat next to Mayor McCheese as a brown dog man in Halo 3 Master Chief Armor walked up to the front, he wore a white rabbit head back pack with crazy sharp teeth that held a katana.

"Hello, I am Samuel Jackson of the Interdimensional Helicarrier Luna-01. This vessel is the second of it's kind. We are not under any banner being the last ship to survive the merging and period of corruption within this Equestria. How the Hell did we survive? We don't know so just chalk it up to magic."

"Or plot convenience," TOM 5 said, looking bored by how his head is in his hand.

"Yes. Yes." Samuel sighed, "Alright, so quick question: Are you a Brony or are you aware of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic?"

I shrugged, "I am aware of key events are least..."

"Update: There's going to be a My Little Pony Movie." Rouge spoke up.

"It's called Equestria Girls. There's four of them." Samuel nodded.

"They made two more?" I asked.

"She means before or after Season 7 there's an PONY MOVIE. Johnny boy got William the OG Captain Kirk to voice a character," Giffany added, "We're making bets on if it's The Storm King or the Hippogriff."

Link shouted. I think he placed his bet on the Storm King..?

Ratchet Gyro stood up, "Repeating roll call! Ratchet and Lank. We're both here."

Link screamed with a nod.

"Captain Cookie Monster?"

There was some screaming as the monster in question looked out the door. "Continue as if I were here; the banana slipped past our defenses!" He closed the door on his way out, shot gun fire was heard and an unholy roar was cut off.

"Mr. McCheese?"

"Here," the goofy sounding sandwich man said. He grabbed the pickle from his purple suit, returning it to his head.

"Samuel Jackson and Maxwell," Ratchet continued.

"Maxwell is dead, you jerk," Samuel said.

"Don't care. TOM 5 is always here. Fandom Man showed up. Toriel?"

"Do you want to know how I got these scars?" the goat lady asked me from my right. Her face looking familiar.

"From Bat Man?"

"No, Princess Luna! But I'm still her biggest fan!" she replied with glee. "Though, I need help with my makeup from time to time," she added, showing me her robot arm.

Ratchet ended off with, "Mayor Popeye, Snow, and General Elmo will not be here. Their doctors say they're in a coma; I say they're napping."

"General Elmo is in a coma?" I asked. "At least he's still around."

"We're tuned into radio-" Cortana was cut off by a loud squeal.

"The banana got Jorgen! Game over, man! Game-"

"That's enough radio."

"Can we focus on debriefing?!" Samuel exclaimed. "Alright, so here's a quick rundown of events: A new Equestria from out of nowhere shows up to merge with our Equestria before Twilight and Spike can stop Starlight Glimmer. Some effects were fixed while others were not so there are two of everybody except major villains, there are five versions to the Elements of Harmony except Twilight and Spike. There are three of them each. Princess Celestia is more competent ever since fusing with her other self. Luna has two heads, one good and one evil who are in true harmony and control a butt-shaped moon."

"OK...?" I scooted my chair to my left an inch.

TOM 5 took Samuel's place up front, "Then the snap happened. After three years of this... both Equestrias locked themselves together. Not everypony has a double now and all the bearers of the Elements of Harmony sans the Twilights merged into one of each pony, making the new versions loose canons. Especially Rainbow Dash and PTSD Pinkie Pie. Everything was harmless if you were an Equestrian but it was almost a warzone for Displace! Survival of the fittest and such. Things got so bad that we were sent out of the universe and back inside with half of us surviving reentry and some more being destroyed by changelings riding dragons."

"Changelings riding dragons?" I asked.

"We shot those guys out of the sky. Though, when changelings began to share their love... the world became corrupted."

"How?"

"Almost every race became a pirate and started a pirate war. We decided to look for some space pirates and rescued Displaced. Apparently, we have to thank your Shiny Shenron for the safe merging and finding you!" TOM fininshed, taking his seat. "If you have any questions: ask around. Otherwise meeting adjourned; get out of my room."

I looked back to see half of the table flip, revealing a cot with a folding chair underneath.
