Canterlot Castle Gardens a thousand years later (give or take a few)
Mika's POV
When I came to, I found that I was standing on a stone pedestal in what could only be a lavish garden. There were all kinds of flora and fauna. Which told me one thing.
I had become a lawn ornament for someone's garden. At least the gardeners had the decency to keep me cleaned.
As I climbed off of the pedestal, I took stock of the situation I was in. I was about the height of Princess Luna even with the crown like crest on my forehead. I was a machine which did not surprise me because of all of the displaced stories I had read in my life. I was in a part of the garden that wasn't as maintained as the rest. I also found that I was in the Canterlot gardens which would explain the beautiful view of Equestria.
I shook my head to stay focused and turned around to read the stone pedestal that I had been placed on.
It read: "Here stands the King of Everfree. This statue is a full color representation of the embodiment of anger and malice itself."
I read it over a few times and understood my position. I was pretty much turned into a statue like Discord but not turned into stone.
"Well I have nothing on the to-do list for today. What should today start with?" I said noting that my voice now sounded like Mikazuki's from the english dub.
I decided to go for a walk through the gardens when I caught sight of a guard, white fur blue mane golden armor, looking right at me.
He scowled and aimed his spear at me.
"Halt! Who are you and how did you get in here?" he shouted at me.
He then spotted the now empty podium that I had gotten off of and looked back at me.
"You will come with me for questioning and then I will take you to the princess."
Now I had been raised to obey authority, but that was before I got sent into another dimension. I did the first thing that came to mind.
"Um... Bye." I said waving to the guard.
Then I ran.
"Hey! Get back here!" the guard yelled before giving chase.

Canterlot Castle throne room
3rd POV
Princess Celestia was sitting with her newest student Twilight Sparkle, her family, Celestia's niece Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (or Cadence as she prefers to be called), Celestia's adopted daughter Sunset Shimmer, and the infant dragon Spike in the throne room.
It was Spike's birthday today, and they were celebrating with a private party that was both formal and casual which meant that Twilight's family still respected the princesses yet were allowed to be themselves.
Today Princess Celestia had cancelled both day and night courts so that she could just relax without those snooty nobles whining about unimportant things.
They had just gotten out the cake when they heard shouting from the other side of the throne room doors
They looked towards them and saw them shatter as a metal being crashed through them.

Canterlot Castle throne room
Mika's POV
Well, I had run all over the castle trying to get away from the guards (why it couldn't have just stayed the one I had no idea), when one of the unicorns shot me through the throne room doors.
I got myself up off the floor and faced the guards... Who were now bowing.
It was then that I froze in fear and looked to see what room I was in.
I was in the throne room.
"Hoo boy. I'm gonna turn around now, and I hope that it's not the Royal Sisters." I said as I turned around.
When I turned to look behind me, I realized that I was in the past but not too far that it would make me feel old.
I then noticed that there was someone who I didn't believe would be there. It was Sunset Shimmer and not the power hungry one.
I was about to freak out, but then I remembered what the merchant does. He sends people to alternate universes of the original MLP canon universe.
I came back into reality when I saw a bright flash of light.
I looked towards the source and saw that Celestia had teleported me into a cage near the throne.
"How did you become released from your slumber, monster?" Celestia said in a tone that told me to be careful with what my answer was going to be.
"I woke up?" I said earning a deadpan look from the Solar Monarch, "Look, your highness, I don't know what I did, but I wish to help you out."
"And how, pray tell, do you expect to help?" Princess Celestia said looking ready to blast me into next month.
"I can be a personal guard for those you hold dear." I said gesturing to the three youngest creatures who were in a small group in the middle, the two fillies on either side of the hatchling.
"I know that you have your doubts about me, but I assure you that I will not hurt you, your friends, or your family, unless they deserve it." I said, "Plus, it might be a good idea to help me control my temper. It may be the reason why I attacked you all those years ago. I'll also tell you my origin."
Celestia sighed and gave me a look that told me that she trusts me for now. "I have your word." she said to the surprise of everyone.
"Spike!"
Me and Celestia were startled when Twilight and Sunset both shouted. I looked down and saw that Spike had somehow gotten into the cage while me and Celestia were busy talking. He was trying to climb up my leg and was getting close to the point of screaming and crying in frustration from not getting any attention, so I bent down, picked him up, and held him like any infant needed to be held.
I started rocking him back and forth slowly to help calm him down.

Throne room
Celestia's POV
How was this possible? This thing had been able to stand up against Nightmare Moon with a fury that had given her nightmares for the next few weeks. Now he (I guessed that it was a he based on its voice) was holding the newest addition to my family as gently as a mother. He was even humming a lullaby to Spike.
I was speechless.
I was brought out of my thoughts by somepony clearing their throat. I turned and saw the creature was trying to get my attention.
"I may have caused him to fall asleep. Sorry if that wasn't your intention." he said quietly.
I levitated Spike over to myself using telekinesis and placed him within my hooves.

Throne room
Mika's POV
Celestia looked towards me with a smile. I would've smiled back if I had a mouth.
"You can have the job. I just have one question." Celestia said.
"Ask away, and I'll answer only if you answer mine." I said.
"Of course." she said, "What is your name?"
This is when I started saying an introduction that would make Team Rocket proud.
"Name's Mikashaia, but that's Mika to you.
And if you're evil, I'll make you blue.
Get on my bad side, and I'll prove why.
You hurt my friends, and I'll make you cry.
I'll rush to your side if your future's not.
bright.
Best to surrender now or prepare to fight.
Trust me I'm right." I said earning deadpans and sweatdrops from everyone.
"What?" I asked exasperated.
"I may be 10 years old, but even I know that that was unnecessary." Twilight said.
"Whatever." I said not really caring as I put my hands behind my head.
"You said that you had a question for me?" Celestia asked getting my attention.
"Oh yeah. Can I be released from this cage please?"
After being let out,a book hit me in the face causing me to fall over. Celestia looked right towards her prized pupil with a raised eyebrow.
"I didn't do it!" Twilight said truthfully.
I sat up and looked inside finding the book was blank which confused me greatly. I flipped to the last page and found a note left for me.
Hey kiddo,
I know you may be a little peeved at me for sending you away from home, but I know that you will help out with the trouble in this dimension. Among the usual tail weapon, thrusters, and clawed limbs, you have other abilities and weaponry.
Included are:
Arm cannons
The Barbatos Lupus' swords that you bought
Pocket dimension
Cloud walking
Energy shields
And a secret power that is not relevant at the moment.
I hope that you don't hold any ill will towards me. I was just doing my job.
Sincerely,
The Merchant
The book disappeared in a burst of rainbow sparkles making Twilight Sparkle cry.
"I didn't even get to read it!" she bawled as everyone else, except me because I was too busy deadpanning, went to comfort her.
Thanks a lot merchant. You gave me a dream wrapped in pain. I thought, What have I gotten myself into?
