//------------------------------// // Introduction to Mutation & Fusion // Story: Equestria Ninja Gems // by Mister V //------------------------------// Shortly after the sparring everyone was worn out and ready to call it a day so they all returned to the house to relax and eat. All the time Peridot was of what to say to the Turtles so they wouldn't be offended. "So I was wondering, how did you four come into being like you are now?" She finally asked. Leo knew what she was talking about and said "Well it's kinda a long story and it all started with our deceased father, Hamato Yoshi." "Or as we like to call him, Master Splinter." Pinkie said to Garnet, who couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "Many years ago he was once human, and he used to live in Japan. He was head of the Hamato ninja clan as it's ninja master. He lived a happy life with His lovely wife Tang Shen and His beautiful daughter Miwa, Who grew up to be Karai. But one day all that was taken from him. His old friend, Oroku Saki AKA The Shredder, who became Yoshi's rival due to his jealousy of Yoshi's love for Tang Shen laid siege on his home burning it to the ground and taking the life of his wife and stole his daughter in the process. Afterward Shedder took Miwa in and turned her in to Karai" "Whoa that's deep." Amethyst said. "Yeah my childhood was pretty messed up." Karai admitted. Leo continued, "After that he left Japan in hopes of beginning a new life. he moved to New York. Though he was still alone he decided to fill that void in his heart by adopting four baby turtles he happened to find in a local pet shop." "That was us." Mikey answered, as the Turtles and Rainbooms groaned and chided Mikey for spilling the beans. Leo carried on, "After exiting the shop, he bumped a strange man on the street. Something felt off about him. Curiously, he decided to investigate. He followed the man into an alley to see he was meeting with three other men just like him while holding a canister containing a green ooze. He was eventually discovered by them when he accidentally stepped on a nearby rat. The men attacked, but he fought back and in the process caused the canister to shatter releasing it's substance upon himself and his turtles. The mutagen as it is known as affected his DNA and mutated him into the last thing he touched." "A rat." Twilight added "Yes. And the mutagen had mutated us turtles into human like. Because of his mutation he fled to the sewers before taking us turtles with him. Over time our minds had begun developing a form of human intellect thanks to the ooze. He knew eventually we would desire to go up to the surface, but he knew we wouldn't last long. So he trained us in the art of ninjitsu so that when we were ready we would be able to defend themselves." "And lived down in the sewers for years?" Connie asked, astonished. "Over fifteen years to be accurate." Donnie answered. "how do stand the smell?" Lapis wondered. "It's not so bad once ya get used to it." Mikey answered. "Did you ever find the men who carried the mutagen" Pearl asked "More than I could've ever imagined." Raph said. "What do ya mean?" Bismuth asked, confused. "Well, have we got a story to tell you." Leo answered, as he and his bros started telling the gems their adventures in New York before meeting the rainbooms. About dealing with the aliens known as the Kraang, as well as their exploits of facing mutants that the mutagen created. When they were finished, Steven, Connie, and the Crystal Gems were in total shock "This is so unbelievable." Pearl gasped "So extraordinary." Garnet added. "So awesome!" Amethyst beamed. "You know, a couple of months ago, I did read a newspaper about an alien invasion and the aliens being defeated by some sort of ninjas, but i just thought it was a tabloid rumor." Connie said. "Been there, done that" Sunset Shimmer said. "Hey, whatever happened to the Kraang?" Steven asked. "They're all back in Dimension X." Donnie answered. "And hopefully they'll stay there this time." Raph added. "But if they ever return or send a monster after us, we'll be ready for them." Mikey said "Yeah but what are the odd of that happening soon?" Leo pointed out. Then all of a sudden, as if on cue, there was a loud noise coming from outside. Everyone rushed to see what it was. when they got there they descovered a large monster rising out of the water. it was green and slimy and eminating a strange glow. It's ribs were completly visible and when it opened it's mouth, drops of goo were falling of it's lips. "I am H-Man and I have come to destroy you." The monster anounced in a slobbery voice. "You welcome to try, Creepy Mcevilstine." Casey quipped. "Steven, you and the others make sure no civilians get harmed." Leo said. "We'll handle this guy." As the Turtles and the Rainbooms went to fight H-Man, Steven and the others looked at each other for a minute, they knew it wasn't their fight but they knew they had to help "Wait, Leo! we want to help out in any way we can, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and i will help you fight that thing." Steven said. "Yeah and Lapis, Bismuth, Peridot, and I can keep the civilians safe." Connie added. Leo looked at the group, and knew right away the expirienced stuff like this before. "Ok lets do it. So while half of the Crystal Gems went to evacuate the area, the other half went to join the Turtles and Rainbooms in the battle. "Ok so what's the plan?" Donnie asked. "What else, save the day." Rainbow Dash said. Soon everyone was fighting H-Man with their weapons and skills. They landed some good hits. Everytime H-Man wasn't expecting it, one of them would hit him with an attack. Then Amethyst saw a fist headed towards Mikey while he was whacking at some of the monster with his Nunchucks "Look out" Amethyst said to Mikey before grabbing him with her whip. "Whoo, Thanks. I thought I was going to turn in my shell there." Mikey said. "No problem, saving folks at the last second is kinda what I do." Amehtyst said with a smile. As the fight raged on, Twilight was hitting H-Man hard with her kamayari sickle spear, when a mound of slime built up behind her long enough to get sliced down by Pearl's trident. "Whoa, excellent timing there Pearl." Twilight complimented. "Thank you, I try my best." Pearl said cheerfully. Meanwhile, Raph was in the clutches of a slimy hand stabbing at it with it's sais to no avail, then it let go of him when Garnet hit it with her gauntlets. "Phew, you know i don't say this a lot but thanks for the hand." Raph said "To be honest i sometimes let my anger get the better of me, but i am working on getting it under control." "I'm sure you'll do just that." Garnet said with comfidence Sunset Shimmer was fighting some of the monster with her kunai daggers, unaware that some slime hunched over her, when a shield knocked it away before returning to Steven. "Nice job, you do your mother proud." Sunset said with pride, knowing he's the spiting image of her mother. "Hehe, thanks, coming from you that's saying a lot." Steven said, blushing a little. Soon they had H-Man down but not out. He grew to ten times his size and roared at them. "Whoa, i don't think even we can handle that." Spike said, scared. "Leave it to us." Garnet said before turning to Pearl and Amethyst. "Alright, it's time to put an end to this. "Uhhhh, what are the doing?" Rainbow Dash asked confused. "Just watch." Steven said. The three started to dance and moved toward each other, then turned int a mass of light before turning into a is a massive fusion with bright magenta skin and six arms. Her eyes are covered by a dark-indigo visor. Instead of a third eye, like Garnet has, she has an alexandrite gemstone, representing the location of Pearl's gemstone, with three dark-indigo oval-shaped lenses surrounding it. Alexandrite's primary face has a structure similar to Pearl's and plump lips like Amethyst and Garnet. This face functions as a mask, covering a second monstrous mouth that has sharp teeth and a long tongue. Both mouths are capable of speech. Her thick, turquoise hair is a collision of all the Crystal Gems' hairstyles. Her attire was a combination of the Crystal Gems' clothing: The teal bodysuit with a four-pointed star cutout on each knee resemble Amethyst's, the flats and large, shoulder plates, which are dark indigo and white respectively, resemble Garnet's, with the collar having a slight tear on one end, and the dark pink belt resembles Pearl's. The gloves on each pair of arms were the skin tone of her three constituent Gems (Lilac for Amethyst, dark magenta for Garnet, and aqua for Pearl). She appears to have a diamond-like cutout on her chest resembling the pink diamond on Pearl's Space Suit. Her legging cutouts are a dark teal. "Whoa, who is that?" Rainbow Dash asked, too stunned to say more. "This is Alexandrite." Steven introduced. "She's the fusion of Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl." "That is a very neat trick." H-man started "But it won't be enough to save you." "We don't have to fight! You're outnumbered." Alexandrite said in a booming voice. H-Man smile. "I maybe outnumbered, but your out of your league." He started "I'm going to enjoy tearing you apart." Alexandrite roared before charging at H-Man. It was a clash of titans, A fusion of three gems vs a monster of pure hazardous materials. both sides tooks some good shots but H-Man was getting tired. Alexandrite knew it was time to end this and drew a bow and arrow out of air. "You look like you need a time out" Alexandrite said before shooting a glowing arrow at him. When it hit, all the slime turned to water and went into the ocean. A body then fell onto the sands unconcience but alive. Alexandrite knew her job was done and unfused back to Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. At this time the other Crystal Gems regrouped with the everyone. "Ok, everyone safe." Connie said. "Great, thanks" Leo said still astonished from what he saw. "You guys saw the gems fuse, huh?" Bismuth asked, not too suprised "Yeah, how did they do it?" Spike asked with bewilderment. "Well it's quite simple" Garnet started to explain. "Fusions are formed when the participants are emotionally harmonious with each other. This state can be spontaneous, but it is usually achieved deliberately through a synchronized dance. First, you need a gem at the core of your being. Then you need a body that can turn into light. Then you need a partner who you trust with that light. That's how Fusion works." "That. Is. AWSOME!" Rainbow Dash said with excitment. "I agree. What other Fusions can you do?" Fugitoid asked "All in good time. First we should check on him." Pearl said pointing at the unconscious body. They examined the body and found no fatal wounds. "How do you suppose this guy turned into H-Man." Lapis said, puzzled. "There's only one species that could do that." Raph said looking at his teammate who knew what he was talking about. "The Kraang." the all said simultaneously. Meanwhile Kraang Subprime was having a tantrum, as usual. "Can't any of my mutations do anything right. Sometimes I fell like i've surrounding myself with numbskulled imbeciles. "Maybe I can help." a mysterious voice said. It came from a large dark figure wearing a mask and a suit of armor. he had bag with something inside and a sword in a scabbard. "Who are you?" Kraang Subprime asked, suprised to see him. "How did you even get it here?" "Your robots need upgrading." The mysterious figure said, pointing at the way he came in. "Ah, yes, well, how can you help me?" Kraang Subprime asked. "Well first off, call me Dusk Quartz." He started "And to answer your second question, ever heard of alternate universes.
