//------------------------------// // Wedding From Crazy // Story: Keys of Harmony // by BioQuillFiction //------------------------------// Zeke sat across the living room. He wasn't exactly mad per say, but more shocked. His wives had brought in four new wives without telling him… And thought it a good idea for them to be naked with Zeke while he was meditating. “So… Pureblood...Moon Dancer…Maud… A.K. Yearling… I guess if my wives approve of you then… Welcome to the herd?” That got a shriek out of Moon Dancer. “I just remembered something Zeke.” Toriel said. “Yes love?” “Isn't today your cousin Eclipse’s wedding?” “... Crap you're right!” Needless to say the family scuttered around, quickly getting dressed and as the babysitters and nannies were given the orders to take care of the infants and the other children, many of which were dressed in clothes they hated out of youthful intolerance, the wives, brides to be, and Zeke entered a DTL, managing to scrounge up gifts for the wedding. Eclipse gulped as he waited and watched the hours tick by. Even with the epic pillow war as a bachelor and bachelorette party, a war that spanned the nation, Eclipse couldn’t help but feel nervous like no other. “So many...oh crap, had it not been that the entire of Equestria would have a hit out on me I would pull a runner right now!” Eclipse thinks out loud as a DTL opens up down the castle. When He turned out came his cousin and all his family, save for the infants, and four surprise additions he noticed. “Sup?” Zeke asked. “Hey Zeke, glad you could make it Cuz!” Eclipse said, his broad smile not doing much to hide his nerves. “Who are the new Wifes?” “Pinkie and Rune managed to get a new wife cap for Daybreak and therefor all Unity worlds… so they went hunting for four more… this is Moon Dancer, A.K. Yearling, Maud Pie, Pinkie’s sister, and Pureblood, Celestia’s adopted niece.” “Well, if the last one is married to you, they can’t be as bitchy as my reflection’s...I swear...selfish bigot. Anyways, you're just in time, only a handful of people have arrived.” Eclipse said, fiddling with his bowtie. “Really?” Zeke tool a look outside. “What? Equestria from here to the Crystal Empire only show up?” “It’s alot of ponies…” Eclipse says as he takes a deep breath “Also…. Oh crap.” Zeke said, his jaw dropping. “What, is core attacking or something?” Eclipse said, his voice betraying his hopefulness for once. “Odder, your human dad is here… man, even as a pony Josh sticks out.” Eclipse peared in and his jaw dropped. Sure enough, Josh Ventral, disguised as a pony, is sitting, admittedly in the far back corner, but he is still there. “Even after he gave me the ring he was going to propose to mom with...I never expected him to show today…” Eclipse said in disbelief and happiness at the same time. “You're telling me. So wanna call him out?” “Only if you want to, something tells me Core doesn’t know he’s here, or if he does, he is using him like an unknowing pawn.” “Hard to tell… hang on.” Zeke walked out into the crowd, Josh fidgeting when he saw Zeke, even more so when Zeke got closer to him. After a short stair down Josh got up and followed Zeke back to where Eclipse was. “So you sneak out?” “Walked out more like it.” Josh said. “Also as much as I enjoy my junk swinging with every quadrupled step in this body I could really go for some pants.” “It does take awhile to get used to.” Eclipse admis with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. “And Josh...Dad….thanks for coming.” “I missed out on only my own wedding I'm not missing out on my sons wedding. Also I have some info. Core stole a Castle Oblivion and is using it to make mass production clones of the family. Me included. They got a number tattooed on them and are nothing but darkness. They lack humanity and follow Cores orders to a T… also came to say sorry for shooting you that time and, uh, slaughtering half the town…” “It was Orders...and to be honest, I’m sorry for trying to blow you up with magic.” “Kid, I survived a hydrogen bomb once, magic ain't got nothin on me.” “You only survived because you were in the ocean and has a small sub hidden under the boat.” Zeke cut in. “Which you made me built part of…” “Still say it was the best summer a ten year old like you at the time could have had.” “It does sound pretty cool, almost like a crime action movie.” Eclipse jokes, glad his nerves are calming. “That's our life.” Josh said. “Also… Core has a new allie. One you do not want to mess with.” “That's reassuring. Well, time for the heros of this story to get stronger, right author?” Eclipse said much to the confusion of the others present. “Wow you take after your mom…” Josh admitted. “She did that a lot when we were dating.” “Well it makes sense. All our life’s are are just stories, so who says no one writes them?” Eclipse said with a smile. “But thanks dad...Recently it’s been harder to remember mom, and I needed that.” “You're welcome. Also I have a three way to get done with before this wedding starts.” “Wait what?” Eclipse said as he tried to double take on that. “Yeah. Just because it's your wedding doesn't mean you get to have all the fun. That blue stallion and grey mare in front are open to it.” Josh pointed out the couple in the crowd which was… his rebirth parents. Eclipse blushed before burying his face in his hooves. “My remaining parents in a three way….did not need that image in my head….” “Welp, give a JawJa to your wives for me.” With that, Josh left into the crowd and Eclipse's other parents followed. “That...happened.” Eclipse said to Zeke in utter shock. “What's a JawJa?” Zeke whispered it into Eclipse's ear. “Something a family ancestor invented… Basically an all night oral sex thing with duct tape, cattle prods, and at least five gallons of lube… figure the rest out…” “Oh my stars…..that’s….well...knowing how Luna and Fluttershy are, they would suggest that sooner or later.” Eclipse admits “Rune had me do that just last week… though she added jelly to replace the lube… “ Zeke admitted as Rune grinned a pervy grin. “Speaking of… open her gift in private please.” “Will do. Don't want any kids here to see what that Succubus has planned.” Eclipse says with a eye roll. “So, how did you deal with the nerves of your weddings? I can barely handle mine, and I’m only marrying two mares!” “Like this.” Zeke grabbed Eclipse by the back of the head, and rammed the front of it into the nearest wall twice, the dropped him. “Nothing like head trauma to take away the nerves.” “You are so a Ventral.” Eclipse groans as he got up and shook his head. “Though that surprisingly did help.” “The pain keeps the nerves away, as does the headache but you can muscle through that.” “True...Though I already had to deal with a death threat from Celestia.” Eclipse said with a laugh as he glanced at the clock. Not much longer… about an hour if I'm right. he thought as he turned back to Zeke. “So what's been up with you?” “Other than the new wives… some new babies… usual.” Zeke replied. “You?” “Took my Mark of Mastery by dying and going into kingdom hearts, dealt with a few big daddies and little sisters, opened an orphanage and gave the kids keyblades. The usual.” Eclipse responded jokingly. “You did what?” X asked, taking control of Zeke in seconds. Oblivion and Oathkeeper flashed to Eclipse's side before Oath spoke. “I had to release his heart to free Oblivion, and I wasn't about to craft him.” “Oath… this was your idea?” X spoke, his tone expressionless. “I wasn't about to lose Oblivion.” She said as Oblivion interrupted. “Look, We know it's against the rules, but this it Oath we're talking about. She normally follows them to the letter. You can let her off easy...right?” “Do you remember what happened to the last Keyblade to break this rule? They were executed for it...” “I know.” Oath responded solemnly. “But… for my twin… it would be worth it.” “I’ll need to talk with father about this.” X closed his/Zeke’s eyes, entering a mediation for a bit. To Oathkeeper, Oblivion, and Eclipse, it felt like time stood still. Worry and after five minutes, X opened his eyes. “We have decided.” “What is going to happen to Oathkeeper?” Eclipse asked in a worried tone. “What we decided on requires a friend of father's. He will be here shortly. You’ve met him actually.” “Don't tell me…” Eclipse said with a groan despite his smile. “Let me guess, Cript?” “You guessed it.” Cript said, falling from the ceiling. “Damnit… my one bad landing.” He said, getting up. “Eclipse, Zeke. So KH called in a favor and I am here to deliver.” “What is going to happen to my sister?” Oblivion asked with uncaractic worry. “Not just her.” Cript said, grabbing both Oathkeeper and Oblivion. “This is a shared punishment for you two and Eclipse.” “What is it?” Eclipse asked as he looked at his two companions. Cript sent a wave of code and blue electricity over Oathkeeper and Oblivion, the two gasped from a slight pain, but they were quickly engulfed by a bright light and their bodies started… changing. Cript dropped them, where Oathkeeper stood now sat a white mare with a blue mane with Oathkeeper’s Keychain as a cutie mark, and where Oblivion fell now stood a black stallion with a purple mane and Oblivion’s keychain as a Cutie mark. “Ponies… til your dad says otherwise. Meaning you can’t help Eclipse in a fight like you used to.” “Well shit.” all three said at the same time, worry egged into Eclipse’s face. “What can’t you do?” Zeke asked Cript as he took back control of his own body. “I can’t ride a skateboard… weird, I’ve ridden solar waves and commits but I can’t figure out a damn piece of wood with wheels…” “Damn… now I really hope I didn't jinx it when I thought Core’s been rather inactive with my world.” Eclipse said as he helped Oblivion and Oath get to their hooves. “This is so weird.” Oblivion said. “Better than an execution.” Oath replied as she nodded to Eclipse in thanks. “You two grab a seat. We’ll explain this to Luna and Fluttershy tonight before bed.” Eclipse said as the two ex-keyblades nodded and went to find a seat. Zeke chuckled, watching the two nearly trip over every step. “Damn they are like newborns walking.” “Sure am glad I don't have to learn to walk again. Twice is enough.” Eclipse said as he swear Cript had a pained yet knowing smile for a second. “Well if anything happens I’ll lend you a Keyblade, Kay?” “Thanks cuz, but something tells me Criptic here wouldn't allow that. Part of the punishment and all. Ain't that right?” Eclipse said to the god. “...All I can say is that this is a fixed event in the… storyline. What happens here… happens.” Cript snapped his fingers, vanishing in a blink. “That wasn't worrying at all...totally not worrying what's so ever.” Eclipse said dripping with sarcasm. “I’m gonna get the family settled. You… sneak in and surprise the brides early.” Zeke said, leading his massive family to the main area. “Isn't that supposed to be bad luck?” Eclipse called out with a laugh before walking in the direction of where his brides are anyways. Down a hall and through a door he heard them chatting through a door. “So how many foals you think we have?” Fluttershy’s voice came through the door. “I’m a bit big already for one foal… maybe twins for me?” Luna’s voice replied to Fluttershy. “You think the babies, baby, are they going to be an alicorn or?” “Won’t know til we get the ultrasound.” Eclipse smiled gently, the kind of smile reserved for his mares when they were alone and not *cough* bussy. Quietly opening the door a crack, Eclipse listened a bit more. “So why has Celestia been sending threats to Eclipse again?” Fluttershy spoke up again. “She is overprotective of me, she has been since we were foals. She came up with any excuse for me to not raise the moon out of fear I’d hurt myself when Eclipse saved me from being Nightmare Moon. Personally I think she’s just lonely up there since I moved here to Ponyville to be with Eclipse. Oh stars I hope she doesn’t do something rash.” “Like?” “Once when we were teenagers, there was a flood that would have threatened most of Equestria… Tia used her connection to the sun and evaporated all the excess water in seconds. She nearly burned her horn out and managed to scorch the earth around her so bad… well, let’s just say that the badlands weren’t always a desert.” “No!” “Yes, it was once like the Everfree til that day. Took Tia a month to use basic levitation again after that. Thankfully Discord was a friend to us at the time and took over the sun and moon for us… so long as he got to play pranks without risk of punishment. Was a long year for Equestria.” Eclipse shivered as he imagined a angry keyblade wielding Celestia using the Sun to fry him. Yeah...that's nightmare fuel. Eclipse thought to himself. “So what did your parent’s think of this wedding?” Luna asked Fluttershy. “They’re thrilled. My brother is stuck in a hair studio showing in Baltimare so only my mom and dad are here. I’m glad bro finally has both a stable job and actually is doing something he cares about, but I do miss seeing him around.” “I suppose the same can be said for me and Tia, I love Eclipse with all my heart but Tia has to miss the wedding because some prick nobles won’t shut up over a hundred year old land dispute.” “Yesh, don’t they have lives?” “You’d think, but so long as those nobles adopt of manage to screw when they have a millisecond to bear foals the fewdes will live on. It’s things like that that make me miss Equestria from a thousand years ago, nobles were given their title based on years of service to the crown and courage in battle, land disputes were settled with hard trials or competitions, and arguments were settled with hoofticups rather than two babies crying over wanting the same thing.” Eclipse found this the opportune moment to step in. He opened the door and said. “I agree, nothing is solved though he said she saids. You want to settle something, settle it, don't bring it to the crown.” Fluttershy and Luna jumped. “Eclipse! isn’t this a bad luck thing?” Luna asked with flurty eyes. “Technically yes, but when have I needed luck?...besides in finding two mares in my life who put up with my crap I mean.” Eclipse says with his smile. “Well, one is a princess, the other the element of kindness…” Fluttershy said as she walked up and kissed Eclipse. “I’d say that’s more luck than anything.” Eclipse kissed her back. “I just realised something...Fluttershy, thanks to Luna, you and I,after today, are a Prince and princess by marriage.” “You just realized?” Luna chuckled. “Hey, it was the last thing on my mind when I proposed.” Eclipse chuckled, pulling Luna in for a kiss as well. Luna put a hoof to Eclipses mouth before he got close enough. “Save it for the wedding.” She cooed. “So have all the guests arrived?” “Most of them. A few stragglers are still pouring in and all my parents, both post and pre reincarnation are going at it before the wedding. Other than that everyone is here.” Eclipse said, still trying to wrap his head around the fact that Josh is banging Velvet and Night Light. “That’s good. You know I always dreamed of my wedding, though, from the times, I expected a larger herd.” She gave a small blush. Eclipse sighed. “We can expand the heard later if you two want, just don’t make it too hard to control.” “Kinky.” Fluttershy said, sending a pink blush to flood Eclipses cheeks. “Heh, looks like Pinkie guessed right.” “What did she guess?” Eclipse said “Me saying kinky would make you blush.” “Well….damn. I don't have a good retort for that one.” Eclipse mumbled before smiling again. “I’d better go and let you two finish up. Never in my life did I’d think I’d get married, let alone to two beautiful mares.” “No drinking.” Fluttershy cooed as Eclipse was heading towards the door. “Fiiine” Eclipse groaned out playfully as he headed back to the main crowd. Twilight turned and smiled knowingly at Eclipse before taking her place with the other bridesmaids. Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie were all giggling and planing something, though Eclipse could take a guess the moment Twilight’s name was mentioned. Spike and Shining, along with Cadence and Trixie were all playing a game of poker, with Cadance having the apparent lead. Rainbow was off mostly by herself with Gilda and Sorin, having a friendly chat while Justin and Chearille were sitting down holding hands… and hooves... “This day is looking so well...I hope I didn’t Jinx it.” “Hey kiddo.” Josh said walking up to Eclipse. “Hey dad, done already?” I asked, now desensitised to the fact. “Yup… three, two, one.” “OH MY STARS!!” A mare yelled near the bathrooms. “Yup. Heh, never pass out after bathroom sex, especially public bathroom sex.” “I’ll take your word for it...And my other mother and father are still able to walk straight right?” “No idea. Wait, wait… those are… right. Damn…” “Yup. All my parents just had a threesome, right before my wedding. And the scariest part of this is I’m not that shocked to be honest.” Eclipse admits. “I went from you and my mom, to those two who plow like rabbits. I’m not even surprised.” “Heh, well If I stick around I know who I’m bunking with. Core’s been using the clones more than the family so we’re getting the plan ready fast, only issue is my old man and your cousin.” “Well...We’ll cross that bridge when we get there I guess. Wolf is still suppressing my killing mood. For some reason it still hasn’t ended apparently.” “Then I got some good news for you. One of the Core’s has this thing, it takes away the junk in us that activates it, we get our hands on that then you won’t have to worry about it.” “Hopefully. But in this crazy universe you never know what is going to happen.” Eclipse said with a chuckle. “But I already killed one family member, I don’t want to be the cause of two more.” “Wait, that was… you? Dude she was pregnant.” “I...I didn’t know at the time… and even if I did, it was like I lost control. I was trying to fight without killing t first, but after she hurt Oathkeeper, Oblivion screamed and I...I lost it.” Eclipse said, looking down as his body shakes from the guilt. “Even so, yikes… Maybe… I have an idea.” “What is it?” Eclipse asked as he looked back up as the Stallion that is Josh Ventral. “Core keeps samples of both memories and DNA of us to clone at his new facility. If you find the memory and DNA of her when she was pregnant, and make sure the machine keeps her, well, her when she comes out, would that be like bringing her and the baby back from the dead?” “I..I think so. But wouldn’t they simply not care about the child's safety or even other family?” Eclipse asked as he tried to be hopeful. “That’s because he can make the thing that makes the clone remove that, make sure it’s added and she’s back from the dead.” “Okay...I’ll keep in under my list of priorities when we finally strike back.” “Only reason Core won’t do it is because it mixes light into the machine, the clone would come out but the machine would break not long after. It really can’t handle light.” “So if say I was to step in it, it would break and be useless. That’s really good to know.” Eclipse sad with a smile before turning back to Josh. “I really and glad you showed. Maybe someday we can bond over a night of drinks or something.” “Sure, I got a drink cocktail that would definitely kill normal people.” Josh nodded as he walked off. “I’ll have you try some Devil’s Poison as well!” Eclipse call out as he walk up to the ‘altar’. It was only a minute after he stood up there and people started to sit did the music start to play. Eclipse took a glance to Zeke and his family with a nervous smile as the door opened. Luna and Fluttershy both walked down the aisle, giddy smiles plastered on their faces. The music began as the two walked down the aisle. It felt like time had slowed down while they did. Eclipse saw them before the wedding started but somehow they just looked even more stunning. As they neared Eclipse, all the nerves that he had built up suddenly vanished as the vows began, Derpy being the one to perform them. “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate not only holy matrimony, but also the first herd marriage in over a hundred years. If any should have reason for these three to not be wed, speak now or forever hold your piece.” Eclipse looked around o see no one, not even the few annoying nobles that party cashed speak out. Eclipse smiled before nodding to Derpy. “Then do you Lun-” “I think there is a just reason.” Eclipse’s blood went cold as he turned around, seeing Core… and a new Yellow standing next to him. “Sorry if I’m late, shopping is a hassle.” “What are you doing here Core? I don't recall sending you a invite.” Eclipse said smoothly, hoping and praying he doesn't notice Oblivion and Oathkeeper looking ponies near the front. “Aw, I have hoping to at least drop off my gift.” “You, Core, the man trying to bring this realm to the void, who would like nothing more than for those I love to die, have a gift for me?” Eclipse asked with scepticism “Yes.” Core snapped his fingers, the new Yellow summoned two VERY large handguns. “A reason to kill again.” Yellow opened fire on the crowd. Zeke and his family acted fast in using Reflect and opening DTL’s to which ponies, people, and all but Unum of his family running into them as well. He summoned X and summoned the Master Keeper, tossing it to Eclipse as he caught it in his magic. “Consider it a loan.” Zeke said. Eclipse nodded before he and the keyblade wielders of his reflection all got ready. Oblivion and Oathkeeper were casting reflect over the civilians so they could escape, running with them as they fled the fight. Yellow didn’t light up on his assault. His ammo never seemed to lessen til one shot broke through the Reflect Twilight was holding up over Fluttershy and Luna. Twilight reacted, teleporting in front of them. As she did, the bullet shot a hoof sized hole into her neck. She immediately fell over, unmoving. The room felt like it flowed in slow motion for Eclipse. He felt Twilight's thoughts go through his head as he watcher her body collapse. His heart beat so loud it was defining as Twilight’s voice rang through his head. “I’m sorry everyone.” Eclipse didn’t even remember getting in front of her, Trixie holding Twilight in her arms as she cried out. Wolf was even silent as Eclipse reached over to Twilight, closing her eyes. “Protect her.” Was all he said to Trixie was he stood up. Zeke and X both froze when they heard Eclipse voice. It was as if hundreds of distorted voices were speaking as one as Eclipse opened both his healed eye, and the black and red pit that has become the other one. “DIE!” He yelled as he stared into the abyss in his heart and offered a hand. “Let me kill this ass, and you can be free.” Under his mask, Core grinned. “Just as expected. Yellow, deal with him.” Yellow nodded, his gun changing into two black Kingdom Keys as he vanished in a haze. Eclipse was side swiped repeatedly even though Yellow was unseen. Eclipse at first started to cuckle before breaking out into a full out laugh as his distorted voice didn’t help the manic sound of his laugh. He growled as he tried to grab one of the keyblades, raising Master Keeper, who to any who could hear keyblades could hear it begging to be released from his grip. Yellow reappeared, palm striking Eclipse ten feet into the ground. Eclipse laughed as he stood up out of the ruble, his wounds healing, but not with fur, but oily black skin. “Vengeance!” He cries out laughing. Yellow grabbed Eclipse by the horn, snapping ot off and stabbing him in the neck with it. “Let's see what he does Yellow.” Core said as Yellow jumped back. Eclipse tore out the horn, slicing his neck open in the process as he just continues to laugh madly. Black and red blood spurt out as he charges at Yellow and Core, wielding the snapped horn as a knife. His eyes are red and black, his missing eye forming a shadow variant of it while one of his hooves starts to have bone claws pierce through his skin. “A stage two transformation. Interesting.” Eclipse goes to stab Yellow, traveling at a speed only Zeke and the Cores can track. “Rip apart!” He yells as he tries to stab Yellow from the back. Core walked in front, jabbing two fingers in Eclipse’s head. “Leech.” Eclipse quickly felt pain, like hooks dragging the power he was using out of his body. His skin returned to normal, as did his injuries. His horn still broken off and his neck… still sliced open. Once Eclipse was drained of his power Core dropped him to bleed out as he and Yellow walked into a DTD. Eclipse gripped his throat before glancing at his horn. He grips it and fires it off with his own life force acting as a force to blast the horn towards the DTD. As he does so, a purple star floats over and enters him, helping fuel the attack that much more. The DTD closed, and as everyone ran towards Eclipse, time froze. “Well that went about as bad as expected…” Cript said as he walked through the time frozen room. Eclipse looked up at Cript, blood frozen in time in his throat. He looked back at where the DTD was, noting that the horn he had shot through went with them. “Why…” Eclipse croaked out at the Deus ex Machina.. “Excuse me?” “Why...couldn't you help.” Eclipse said as he looked back over at Twilight’s corpse, tears welling in his eyes. “Admin… I now oversee and advance the realms. Threats make themselves all the time. Part of my job is finding the right people to pick as the heros of all. I… am not allowed to interact in certain events. This ripple was… the one with the best long term outcome.” “So...Twilight….sister had to die?” “If she didn't, your wives would have. Though. I can do a favor. Question is, are you going to accept? I can't break rules for anyone like I used to, now that's been restricted to family. Admin rules are bull crap.” “So...if I join your family...you can bend the rules...by working a loophole?” “Can, have, and am ready to.” “Fine...if it has even a chance to bring her back I'll accept.” Cript held out a hand. “Welcome to the family… And sorry but this isn't even the worst way a child has joined.” “I bet...will all the crap in this realm...I'd be surprised if I was the only me you've adopted.” Eclipse said as he reached out to take the offered hand. They shook and in a blink Eclipse felt… fine… save for the changes. His upper body was anthro, his mane a familiar color of blue, and his lower body… was that of a giant snakes. “Wow… That's actually a first.” Cript said, shrugging the surprise off as he went over to Twilight's corpse. “What is, the fact that my upper body is anthro or that my lower half is now a naga?” Eclipse said trying to move and falling on his face. “Cons, gotta learn a new method of “walking” and get reacquainted the hands. Plus your new… manhood. Pro, as a naga, no longer is the call of nature an issue.” Cript said as he kneeled down to Twilight's body. “Alright, two options. One, I put her soul and mind into a very realistic synthetic body, two, I put her soul and mind into your assistant. It's that little gadget on your arm.” “If I let her have a body, she, trixie, applejack, rarity and Pinkie will be able to have that herd, but she will never be able to have a foal of her own unless she adopts. Plus there is always the chance Core will destroy her again. But if I choose the assistant, she will be safe, but unable to be with those that care for her.” Eclipse thinks out loud before sighing. “Let's give her a body, it's what she would want.” “Okay. Also you do not know the kind of robots out there now.” He snapped his fingers, an almost identical version of Twilight's body appeared, the only difference was the feathers of her wings were metallic and her horn was chrome. “Okay then, that's both cool and creepy.” Eclipse says, getting off the floor shackley. “Her body is robotic yes, but just some dna.” Cript plucked a hair off of Twilight's corpse and onto the muzzle of the robot. It absorbed the hair and glowed faintly. “There. Eating will be optional for her, but she can have foals. That's the key feature. A.I. lifeforms back home were deemed True lifeforms and as such I invented bodies that can reproduce that they can control.” “This is not how I planned my wedding.” Eclipse said, looking around at the time frozen people, from Zeke to Josh, all rushing to where he is or checking on Twilight’s body. “Last two parts.” Cript placed a hand into Twilight's body, pulling out a glowing orb with a pink heart inside it. He touched her forehead with his other hand, a ball of electricity flowed into his palm. “Soul, heart, and mind.” He placed them into the robotic body, it glowed faintly again before she jumped awake, her eyes looking robotic also. “And she lives again.” “Twilight!” Eclipse says happily before falling over again, his long snake body still impossible to move in. “Damn it.” “Eclipse?” Twilight spoke. “I feel… Really different… why are you humanoid and half snake? And Shining Armor's mane colors?” “Well...I made a deal with this god here, I get adopted by him and become a member of his family, and in return...Well...turn around and look down.” Eclipse said, pushing himself up again. “Damn it, I already had to learn how to walk twice as a kid, but now a third time?” Confused, Twilight turned around and upon seeing her own corpse, rightfully screamed. “How in the Fuck?!?!” “You took a bullet for Luna and Fluttershy and...well died. I kinda lost it after that.” Eclipse says sheepishly. “T .. Then how am I here if I am there?” “That would be Cript right over there. He had a robotic body made and placed your neural pathways as well as your Heart and soul into it. It can do everything your old body could, even have kids. Eating is optional as well, so imagine all the all nighters you could pull!” Eclipse said before chuckling. “I'm starting to sound like a spokesperson.” “So… wow… just… How?” Twilight asked, looking at Cript. “Magic and abilities beyond any god.” He replied simply. “Yeah, new dad or not, you're still cryptic as hell.” Eclipse jokes before sighing. “Seriously, how am I supposed to move?” “First, let's start time again.” Cript snapped his fingers, and everyone nearly fell over. “Sorry about that.” “Ugh… you again?” Zeke spoke, getting up. “Wait… Eclipse… A robo Twilight and dead Twilight… okay so… Weirdest wedding ever.” “You are telling me, not want I had planned that's for damn sure.” Eclipse mumbles as he looks around the trashed room. “So… Should we pick this up in Daybreak?” After some time thanks to Eclipse falling every five seconds, the group of Trixie, Luna, Fluttershy, Eclipse, Josh, Zeke and Cript make it into a private room in Daybreak. “My face hurts so much right now.’ Eclipse grumbled. “Kid, it's not that hard.” Cript said, in a flash of light turning into a red naga pony anthro. “See?” He said, moving around with ease. “Think worm?” “Move like a worm? I’ll give it a shot I guess.” Eclipse said in defeat as he tried to listen to Cript. He moved a bit easier, but was still shaky and nowhere near as fluid as Cript. “After we all have a talk, you’ll need to tell me who my mother is.” Eclipse said as the took seats in the room. “Actually, I’m Surprised she hasn-” There was a sonic boom followed by a blur tackling Cript to the wall. It was a white anthro naga, with the same blue hair as Eclipse has now, but when Eclipse and Twilight saw her cutie mark where the anthro and naga parts connect made them drop their jaws. It was the same as their brother’s. “Spoke too soon.” “Hi honey.” The naga lady spoke. “Finally checked my email.” “Nope. I’m dead. None of this is real. Nope.” Eclipse said as he rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn’t seeing wrong. “Is your new mom… a female version of Shining Armor?!” Twilight questioned/freaked. “I was hoping I was seeing things, because that complicates things even more than my human dad banging my pony dad and mom.” Eclipse said as he opened his eyes again to see that nope, he wasn’t seeing things. “Wait what now?” Twilight asked in deeper confusion. “Don’t ask…” Eclipse said, hanging his head while Cript and the ‘Shining Armor’ cuddled on the floor. “Heh. Hon, you're embarrassing your new son.” Cript said, nuzzling her neck. “Eclipse, meet Gleaming Shield. As you can see Evolution was odd on her Equestria for her kind to all be half snake.” “I can see that.” Eclipse says, trying to suppress the sudden urge to cuddle with his new mom. “So, if another reflection of Shining is my mom, does that technically make my Shining my uncle and my once twin sister my aunt?” he asks Cript, trying to wrap his head around all this. “Don't think too much about it.” Cript says. “So anything you'd like to know about your mother?” “Allow me?” Gleaming said, slithering up to Eclipse. “Anything you wanna know about your new body?” “A few things, I’ll just list them. How do I move quickly to attack or defend when I need to. How do I...Use the restroom in this body. How do I, erm, Take care of my mares back home and is there anything I should know about it that I haven't asked?” Eclipse lists off. “For defensive use your scales. As a demigod child they are now bullet proof, once you get the hang of it you can smash boulders with your tail. Hon, we’re nagas. Our food is digested bones and all, no waste, no need for the bathroom. As for your mares well, for both male and female nagas have a… flap mine covers my foal hole and yours covers your foal pipe.” “O-oh...okay then.” Eclipse says with a small blush. “Any other details I should know?” “Well as a naga how many stomachs do you think we have?” “I’d guess….two?” Eclipse guessed, not used to his now internal organs. “Three actually.” Gleaming corrected. “One for digesting large meals, the one in the pony half, upper half, regular cooked food, mainly veggies. Can't digest meat in that one, and the third which actually is meant to hold our young, elderly, or sick and injured. The third stomach generates air from the blood, oils that act as antibiotics and a healing accelerate, and we can send food there as well. So yes it's normal for us to “eat” our own kind or sentient life but by a mix of magic and instincts they always go down the tube towards the third stomach.” “That’s….a mix of cool, useful, and creepy all rolled into one.” “It's kinky.” Fluttershy said, making Eclipse's nose bleed and his face blush hot pink. “W-we can mess with it later okay Flutters?” Eclipse stutters out. “I look forward to it.” “A-anything else?” Eclipse stutters out to Gleaming. “Uh… I guess just your new canine teeth when biting something send either a paralysis or adrenaline venom, depends on your choice, and your new tongue is snake like so on average it's six to eight inches long.” Gleaming finished. “I look forward to that.” Luna said “S-so, selectable venom, Three stomach, one for anything, one for veggies and one for healing others, near impenetrable scales, and then all the stuff Luna and Fluttershy will be experimenting with. The only thing I need to know now is how come Cript was so surprised I became your kid.” Eclipse said. “Cause so far you're the first adopted child to become the child of a naga mother.” Cript said, slithering up to Gleaming. “Naga race in the family count for a total of… 1.8% of my wives and 2% of kids, all kids born from their mothers or natural born nagas adopted.” “So I’m the first of something in a family as big as yours? That's surprising.” Eclipse said honestly. “Yes.” Both Gleaming and Cript said. “Okay then. Next thing you tell me that I’m the only me you’ve met in this whole realm and multiverse thing.” Eclipse says with a laugh. “Yes.” Crips says. “Compared to the rest your realms whole existence is… young. Infant even.” “Man...Today was just supposed to be a wedding. Well, that's what I get for thinking something is ever that simple.” Eclipse sighs out as he looks to Twilight. “Any question’s of your own sis?” “One…” Twilight said sheepishly. “Well then, shoot.” Eclipse said, naturally coiling and sitting down without thinking about it. “Are you still accepting wives Cript?” The question made Eclipse fall over. “God damn it.” Eclipse mumbles to himself quietly as he looks to Luna and Fluttershy for help, just to see the two have a cheeky smile and Trixie to have a bright eye’s look. “Say what?” Cript asked. “Well, it's awkward I know given… Eclipse’s relation to you now but for one it seems like you're always accepting and my girlfriend and I are looking for a male for a herd.” “I’m just going to keep quiet and let this play out.” Eclipse grumbles while Luna and Fluttershy trotted over to hug him, both of them giggling at his predicament. “Uhh…. Sure…” Cript said unsure, which Zeke took note of. “FINALLY!!” A VERY loud voice yelled from seemingly everywhere, which made Cript groan. “What the hell?!” Eclipse yelled. “I’ve dealt with pinkie but that's on a whole nother level!” “It's my first wife…” Cript said, a portal opening and… Lyra Heartstrings trotted out? “ Hi Lyr-” The mare in question tackled Cript. “You finally said yes~” She cooed. “He finally said yes? About what, marrying a form of Twilight?” “Yeah.” Lyra said. “ When I started this never ending harem of ours I was the one this whole time gathering wives. I so far am the only one he said yes to marrying and dating.” She cooed, nuzzling Cript. “I can relate.” Zeke commented. “So, My sister, and now aunt, is the second one he has ever agreed to? Today gets stranger by the second….” Eclipse said as he tries to keep track on the craziness of today. “I can and have fought untold evils, faced off the original satin, fight Psychopaths every other day, and yet talking to girls always messes me over… why I have been okay with whoever Lyra here approved.” Cript admitted. “Well….that's a thing. So, Josh, are you okay with all this?” Eclipse asked his first father. “Depends… You bi god man?” Josh asked. “Yeah.” “Second option.” “Oh dear…” Eclipse said leaning back. “What is the second option.” “Let me guess.” Lyra spoke. “Sexy time with Cript and then womanhood?” “About right.” Josh confirmed. “Not the only man to join then be either a futa or straight up woman.” “.....my head hurts.” Eclipse whimpers to the laughter of his fancies. “Before we leave you to wrap up this wedding Eclipse, I do have a question to ask.” Cript said “Sure. The god who is now my dad and is marrying not only my sister but also my original father eventually has a question for me. Let’s hear it.” Eclipse said, his mane more of a mess than usual. “Well, one of you by the name of Ben requested the maximum powers of being a part of this family withheld, you want them withheld til you feel it's right or full powers right away?” Eclipse responded immediately. “Now. Not because I want power all that much, but because those I love dodged, and took, a bullet today, and I’m not going to be a prideful prick and deny power that could help protect them.” “Alright, but you'll have to be enrolled in the family school tomorrow. Got to learn how to use those powers.” “More school...Meh, not the worst thing that could have happened.” “Should only take… seven to eight chap- months. Considering you're already an adult.” “Smooth on the fourth wall breakage there old man.” Eclipse said with a chuckle “At least I’ll be able to defend my family better after it’s over.” “My mind it kinda… in two places and the realities are… Different.” “Okay then, well, at least the authors are taking it easy on you right?” “No comment. Anyway so I guess Twilight is gonna be with me for a bi-” “Actually…” Trixie spoke up. “Twilight and I were going to both date a nice male… and Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie were gonna jump on it.” “Wait, when was this decided?” Twilight asked. “A while ago, was going to be a surprise.” Trixie said with a blush. “Come on Twilie, even I knew that!” Eclipse chuckled. Twilight rolled her eyes. “Fine. So… How’s this work?” “Well is Josh tagging along?” Cript asked. “I have… a few things to do before I decide anything fully. I’ll have Eclipse call ya when I’m ready to go.” Josh shifted back into human form and opened a DTD. “This is not gonna be easy.” With that, Josh walked into the DTD, it closing behind him shortly after. “Well, my life just got really confusing if I think to hard, and I still have a wedding to try and fix...damn, why can’t things just be simple for one day.” Eclipse said as he took a nervous glance to his new mom. “Yes sweetheart?” Gleaming asked, seeing Eclipse look at her. “Why do I have a really strong urge to cuddle you like I did my first mother?” He asked embarrassed. “Depends, cuddling like just hugging or the way naga’s do it?” “D-Definitely the first! Or at least I hope it is...I don’t know anymore!” Eclipse cried out as Luna pats him on the back giggling. “How to Naga’s cuddle?” Luna asked. “Two ways.” Gleaming started. “First is, well, one swallows the other while, using our third stomach to hug them all over, or we cuddle with our tales, wrapping them around and squeezing as tight as we can on each other.” “That...did the change also change the way I think slightly? Because I don’t find that weird right now.” Eclipse asked Gleaming and Cript. “It’s genetic for you now so… kinda.” Cript said. “Different body, different DNA, and therefore different racial norms, customs and ways of thinking.” “Please tell me they will be also gone over in the lessons, I don't want to be a part of a race and come across another and then totally fuck up or something.” “I’ll be your teacher for that part sweetheart.” GLeaming said with a smile. “SO, anything else?” “I have a question.” Twilight said. “Is your world just, genderswapped to this Equestria or what? Where’s Cadance?” “Cadance and I were dating, don’t get me wrong, but we also wanted to find a herd, captain of the royal guard and the princess of love, you can bet many males tried but Cript here won us.” “That’s rather nice to hear, a relatively normal story for the first time today.” Eclipse said with a happy sigh. “Well you all finish up this wedding, Twilight, Trixie, let’s get your friends and hope Lyra here doesn’t make this Equestria a new recruiting ground…” Cript says. “No promises.” Lyra said. “Something tells me she already has some mare’s picked out…” Eclipse said as he looked at the familiar pony. “I didn’t become the goddess of marriage and children for nothing.” She chimed. “Okay then...I have so much to learn later. For now, Flutters, Luna, could one of you open a portal back so we can hopefully salvage the wedding?” Eclipse asked. “ALright, but second we get home we’re testing your new… features Fluttershy said, patting Eclipse’s cheek as she opened the DTL and walked in. It took a while but we were finally able to find everyone who didn’t faint from Twilight’s or my appearance and round them up in the now makeshift room. “One way or another, I will marry and support you two.” Eclipse said determined. “And we will get fucked by you.” Fluttershy said with a laugh. “Felt that had to be added to finish the day off.” “And by the power invested in me, by mayor Mare, I pronounce you three, husband and wives, you may kiss the brides.” Derpy said a bit flustered. She had a slight phobia of snakes and seeing Eclipse wasn’t helping. Once vows were done she bolted out the door. “Thanks Derpy!” Eclipse called out before smiling at his mares and leaning forward. He first kissed Luna, who was the first he dated, then moved to Fluttershy, who was exploring Eclipse’s new mouth. Once that was done Fluttershy and Luna looked at each other and kissed, making Eclipse blush a bit and earning an applause from the crowd that remained. “I love you two so much.”
