Chapter 6: Questions and Answers (edited)

Twilight, Tempest, Celestia, Luna, Wingding, and Austin found a room with a fireplace in the back of the room. The room also has pillows on the ground that formed a large circle. They all sat on the pillows, Austin was between Twilight and Tempest. Wingding sat between Twilight and Princess Luna. Princess Celestia sat between Luna and Twilight. There was a long period of awkward silence, but Twilight then broke the silence.

“So Austin and Wingding...” Twilight started to talk. “can you tell us about Austin’s powers?” Twilight asked with a scroll and a quill with her magic.

“Of course, Austin’s has many powers in his possession. Austin has immortality, regeneration, shapeshifting, and his soul powers.” Wingding said to Twilight.

“How long can Austin live with his immortality?” Twilight asked curiously.

“He can live up to a hundred to two hundred years at least, maybe longer for all I know.” Wingding said to Twilight. Twilight started to write down what Wingding is saying down on the scroll.

“Wow that sounds like a long time.” Twilight said in awe.

“At least for humans it is, humans only live up to a hundred before there bodies start to break down and eventually die.” Wingding said to the group.

“Humans live up to a hundred years... got it.” Twilight said out loud as she was writing.

“May I ask a question?” Wingding asked Twilight.

“Of course, what is your question?” Twilight asked curiously.

“How long can ponies live?” Wingding asked Twilight.

“Well... unicorns, Pegasus and earth ponies can live up to 100 to 150 years, which is a long time for them.” Twilight said to Wingding.

“And how long do alicorns live?” Wingding asked once again.

“Princess Celestia and Luna are born as alicorns, so they live about 1,000 years or more, Cadance and I will live up to 700 to 800 years because we were chosen as alicorns.” Twilight explained to Wingding.

“That is a long time of living, y-you all can outlive me.” Austin said to the group.

“Don’t worry about right now dear, you are still young.” Celestia said softly to the child.

“Yeah you a-are right.” Austin said softly to Celestia.

“You also said regeneration, can you tell us what regeneration is?” Twilight asked Wingding.

“Regeneration can recreate damaged tissues, organs and limbs. It can also stop aging.” Wingding explained to the others.

“Just like Celestia and Luna stopped aging as well.” Tempest mentioned.

“Indeed we don’t age as ponies do.” Luna said to the others.

“Indeed, but once he is 18 years old he will stop aging. For now his body can take any attack and regenerate very quick,” Wingding said to the group. “would you like an demonstration?

“An demonstration?” Celestia asked curiously but with an worried tone.

Wingding then snapped his hand and a bone appeared and struck Austin’s torso. Every pony’s faces were filled with shock, especially Austin. They all held their hoof up to their mouths and tried to hold there tears.

“Y-you killed him!” Celestia said angrily with fiery eyes as she charged up her horn at Wingding.

“Did I?” Wingding asked Celestia.

The bone then disappeared and left a hole in Austin’s torso. Austin fell on the ground and stayed there for a few seconds. The hole then started to fix itself. His flesh, organs and tissues started to renew itself and the hole in Austin’s chest was gone. Austin sat back up while feeling his chest. Celestia stopped charging her horn and trotted to the child. The other ponies hugged him and to see if he is okay.

“Sweetie are you alright?” Celestia said while looking for any more wounds.

“I’m fine Celestia, just surprised b-by that,” Austin said to Celestia softly. Austin turned to Wingding with angry eyes. “that is the THIRD time you have done t-that to me!!!” Austin said yelling angrily at Wingding.

“The third time?!?” Twilight said shocked.

“Yeah he did it when we were enemies, he did it again because h-he was curious and now he did for t-the demonstration.” Austin explained to the rest.

“Wow that must be painful.” Tempest said to Austin.

“Sometimes it can but that time it felt I was actually going t-to die.” Austin said to them and sharply glared at Wingding.

“Oh stop being a baby I knew you would regenerate afterwards.” Wingding said to the child.

“You could of g-given me a heads up or something. I think you o-owe me an apology,” Austin said angrily while crossing his hands and looking away from him.

“Alright fine I’m sorry, better?” Wingding said to the child.

“Yes, but I’m still mad at you.” Austin said to Wingding, still looking away from him.

“You two fight like actual brothers.” Twilight said to them.

“Yes, Austin and I always fight,” Wingding explained to the rest. “should we continue with the questions?”

“Oh... well if every pony is calm we can.” Twilight said to the rest.

“I’m fine n-now, we c-can continue.” Austin said with a small smile.

“Alright then,” Twilight said as she smiled softly to the child. Twilight turned to Wingding once again. “How many creatures can he turn into?” Twilight asked Wingding.

“There is no limit to Austin’s shapeshifting, but he prefers to turn into monsters, robots, and Pokémon.” Wingding said to the group.

“Monsters?” Luna asked curiously.

“Robots?” Tempest asked curiously.

“Pokémon?” Celestia and Twilight said in unison.

“Yes monsters, robots and Pokémon.” Wingding said to the rest.

“What kind of monsters does he transform into?” Celestia asked curiously.

“He mostly transform into Gaster’s family members or his monster friends,” Wingding said to them, he then turned to the child. “Austin, would you like to show them what you mostly turn into.” Wingding said to the child.

“S-Sure,” Austin said as he stood up and went to the middle of the ponies. The ponies looked at him with wonder as to what he is going to be. He closed his eyes and the shadow surrounded him and out came a short skeleton with a blue hoodie and pink slippers. His eyes are hollow but with white pupils and has a wide smile.“Heya I’m Sans, Sans the skeleton nice to meet ya.” Austin said as he put a hand up to Celestia.

“Nice to meet you too... Sans.” Celestia said knowing it’s Austin. Celestia lifted her hoof up and took the skeleton’s hand. She heard a farting sound when she shook his hand. Her face went fully red and lowering her head in embarrassment.

“Heheehe... oh the old whoopee cushion on the hand trick, it’s always a classic.” Austin said with a chuckle. The rest of ponies, even Wingding laughed at the goofy skeleton.

“You are like Pinkie Pie, but more bonny.” Twilight said with a giggle.

“Hehe was that a pun? Because that was very punny.” Austin said with a chuckle. The shadow surrounded him and turned him back to the human child.

“I like that one, he was funny.” Luna said while brushing off some tears from her face from the laughing. Every pony nodded in agreement.

“He can turn to him and many other monsters that can be powerful or weak.” Wingding said to the group.

“Now you said something about robots, what are they?” Twilight asked curiously.

“Robots are machines that can do things that a human can do, for example cleaning and can help others when they get old to do stuff,” Wingding explained to them. “But they can also turn against you or be reprogrammed to harm others.” Wingdings explained to them.

“That’s amazing and awful. It’s amazing for helping others, but it’s awful that they can be reprogrammed to hurt other humans.” Twilight said to Wingding.

“Yeah humans can be good or bad, but luckily you have a good one.” Wingding said as he looked at Austin.

“Yep I’m t-the nice one and not those mean ones.” Austin said confidently to them.

“Austin can you show them what other robots there are.” Wingding said to the child.

“Okay.” Austin said as the shadow surrounded him again.

The figurine is a machine with a box as a torso with a power source in the middle of its torso. It has short arms on the side of its torso that can move in an backwards L. It has treads for legs and it has a long neck with audio-visual sensors for its eyes. The ponies looked at the robot with awe and there eyes were filled with sparkles. The robot looked at them with its sensors.

“W... Wall-e.” the robot said with its squeaky voice to the ponies.

“Awwwww!!! This thing is so cute!!” Luna said while hugging the machine tightly.

“This small robot is called the Waste Allocation Load Lifter: Earth class or Wall-e for short,” Wingding said to the ponies. Wingding looked at Luna and Austin and looks to be snuggling, but Austin didn’t look like he is enjoying it. “... you do realize that is Austin your smothering right Luna?” Wingding asked Luna.

“I’m not smothering him, I’m snuggling him and yes I know he is Austin, but his form is so cute!” Luna said as she hugged Austin.

Luna started to squeeze a little harder and one of Austin’s eye popped off. Everyone gasped except Wingding and Luna let Austin go. Austin looked at his eye and scrolled towards his eye and reattach it back to the right socket. He then tested his eye to see if it works, after that he looked at Luna, which she had an embarrassed expression.

“I’m so sorry Austin, I didn’t mean to hurt you, please forgive me.” Luna said as she lowered her head sadly.

Austin saw her sadness and went over to her and extended his arms to hug her. Luna looked at him and smiled and returned the hug.

“It looks like he forgave you, but maybe not hug him too tight next time.” Wingding suggested to Luna.

“Noted.” Luna said as she hug him softly.

“Alright Austin you can change back now.” Wingding said to Austin. Austin nodded and the shadow surrounded him and change back to his human form. They broke the hug and Austin went back to his seat.

“Wall-e is a cute and harmless machine... but what if Austin turn into a scary robot.” Wingding said to the group and looked at Austin, giving him the floor for the shapeshifting.

“Oh right o-okay.” Austin said quietly. The shadow surrounded him once more and out of it came the same machine that fought Chrysalis. Every pony looked at him with a hint of fear and shock.

“That’s the same creature that fought Chrysalis.” Tempest said, still looking at the faceless machine.

“Yes this machine is named Soundwave.” Wingding said to the ponies.

“He looks scary... but cool.” Tempest said as she approached the giant machine.

“Soundwave is very quiet to the point that people think he is mute, but he is very dangerous. Luckily for you, you didn't meet the real Soundwave.” Wingding said to the ponies.

“I’m glad we don’t have to meet him.” Celestia said to Wingding.

“indeed, he can strategize his opponents movements within seconds and his plan never fails... mostly.” Wingding said to the ponies.

“Wow... he can strategize his opponents within seconds?!? That is impressive.” Twilight said as she was writing down everything.

“Yes that’s what makes him the dangerous and the scariest robot,” Wingding said to the ponies. “Would you like to snuggle Austin now Luna?” Wingding asked Luna with a smirk.

“Uhhh... I’ll pass.” Luna said as she looked at Austin nervously.

Austin then started to turn back to his child form once again.

“Phew that’s better.” Luna said as she gave the child a little hug. Luna looked at Wingding and started to speak. “So you told us about monsters and robots... but what are Pokémon?” Luna asked curiously.

“That is a good question. Pokémon are animals or creatures with elemental powers like fire, ice, water, etc. They can be very cute, scary, weak, strong or popular to humans who would like to befriend them.” Wingding said to the ponies.

“How many elemental powers can these Pokémon possess?” Celestia asked Wingding.

“The Pokémon can possess 18 different elements, but can only contain 1 or 2 elements, but some Pokémon can learn moves that is not there own elements.” Wingding said to the group.

“What kind of elements are there?” Tempest asked curiously.

“There is normal, fire, water, grass, electric, ice, fighting, poison, ground, flying, psychic, bug, rock, ghost, dark, dragon, steel and fairy.” Wingding said to the ponies.

“Wow that is interesting.” Twilight said as she was writing down what Wingding is saying.

“Austin can you shapeshift into some Pokémon for them?” Wingding asked Austin. Austin nodded and the shadow surrounded him once again.

Austin then turned into a panda like Pokémon with swirly eyes, as well as red and white polkadots on there body.

It has four spikes on its back, four around the middle of its stomach, and one large one at the beginning of its tail. It has three claws on it’s arms and three claws on it feet. It has a big snout on its face and a black u shape around its eyes.

Austin turned into a humanoid like Pokémon with a gray face with one red eye and an flat antenna on top of its head. It’s stomach has a zigzag pattern and two eyes, making it look like a face.

Austin turned into a fox-like Pokémon with a red spiky ponytail with some hair sticking out with grey ends. It has three red claws on its arms and legs.

Austin turned into a giant dragon like Pokémon, it was huge enough to almost hit the roof. It has 6 legs, golden parts of its stomach that look like ribs, and golden horns on its head.

Austin turned into a sauropod like Pokémon. It is blue with some grey, metallic portions like it’s chest plate, which has a diamond in the center of the chest plate.

Austin turned into the final element and out came a little fairy holding a flower. It’s bottom body is green and from the top is white with a stem like leg. It has thin, stubby arms. It flower is yellow.

Austin then went to his human form and landed back on his pillow, looking exhausted. Celestia went to Austin and laid down next to him with a wing on his small body.

“Woah... those ones were quite huge, and some of them are tiny.” Twilight said in awe.

“Indeed, many Pokémon can he small or some can he huge.” Wingding said to Twilight.

“So... does he change into anything else besides those ones?” Luna asked curiously.

“Yes he can be anything, such as a demons, other humans, or even ponies.” Wingding said to them.

“He can turn into us?” Tempest asked curiously.

“Yes but he will need time and practise to turn into a pony. If he does get it, he can turn into an alicorn.” Wingding said to the group.

“Wow this is very interesting, I have got to show this to my friends.” Twilight said in a happy tone while making a squeal at the end of her sentence.

“The only problem with shapeshifting is it takes up most of Austin’s energy, hehe... I was surprised that Austin went to all 18 types of Pokémon without quitting halfway.” Wingding said to the group.

“Well... i guess i-I beat my record of most... shapeshifts for me... heh.” Austin said exhaustedly.

“Make sure to not push yourself too hard, you could hurt yourself.” Luna said to Austin.

“You almost sound l-like my... mom... hehe... eh.” Austin said to Luna, but then made a frown of the thought of her mother. The rest of the ponies noticed his frown and gave him a little frown of their own except Tempest and Wingding.

“And the final power is Austin’s soul powers.” Wingding said to the group. The ponies faces were on Wingding now.

“What does soul powers do?” Twilight asked curiously.

“Soul powers are weapons that is formed with your soul and are quite strong.” Wingding said to the group.

“What kind of weapons does this soul power make?” Tempest asked curiously.

“They can be swords, spears, shields, etc, it all depends on the souls decision for the weapon. ” Wingding said to the group.

“But why didn’t Austin use his soul weapon against Chrysalis?” Luna asked curiously.

Wingding looked at Luna and then Austin with a sad expression on his face. Wingding used his magic on Austin’s soul to make it visible for to ponies to see. Austin’s soul was all cracked up with a bit of gray spots on the side of his soul. The ponies looked at his soul and all of their ears dropped down and had sad expressions.

“He can’t use it because when he unleashed his raw power at a young age his soul broke, but not completely to the point where he can’t use his soul weapon.” Wingding said to the group.

“So he can use his soul powers in the future?” Celestia asked Wingding.

“Yes but he will need more time before his soul is fully fixed and he can use his soul weapon and he’ll need his soul weapon to defeat Necrafa, otherwise he and others around him will be in trouble.” Wingding said to the group.

“Hmm... very interesting,” Twilight said as she was writing down everything. As Twilight was done writing down on her scroll, she looked up at Wingding. “can you tell us your powers?” Twilight asked Wingding.

“Sure, I don’t have a lot of powers but I have my magic bones, bone hands and can hold onto souls of people. That’s really it,” Wingding said to Twilight.

“Okay then... my last question is... what is the human history?” Twilight asked Wingding eagerly.

“... Well if I was going to tell you about our history, it would take a week or more of me talking...” Wingding scratched the back of his skull. “But I can give you this to read,” Wingding said and a big book appeared. “this book contains the relationship of humans and monsters as well as the Pokémon and many other species on earth. It also contains latest technology, magic and plenty more.” Wingding said to Twilight as he gave the book to Twilight. When Twilight got the book, her eyes sparkled brightly, which made Wingding a little nervous.

“Oh the thank you Wingding i will read this when I get back home.” Twilight said to Wingding and Twilight gave him a hug.

“Uh your welcome? You really like to read books huh.” Wingding said to Twilight.

“Oh yes books are everything to me, especially history books because I love the ancient writing and spells.” Twilight explained to Wingding.

“Well you might enjoy this book because it has the history of the humans and the monsters. It also has magic spells, but I’m not sure you can use them but you could try.” Wingding said to Twilight.

“Thank you and I might give those spells a try,” Twilight said happily. Twilight looked the clock on the wall and was getting late for them. “Oh my look at the time, we must of been talking for a few hours. It’s almost supper time and Spike is making supper tonight.” Twilight said to the rest.

“It would be time to get some food for ourself, are you sure you don’t want to stay for a little bit?” Celestia asked Twilight softly.

“I wish I can but I got to do some paperwork for my school and this new book that I might teach for my students when I’m done reading it.” Twilight said to Celestia.

“Wait you have a school?” Wingding asked Twilight.

“Why yes I do, maybe you can come to Ponyville and I can give you a tour of the school.” Twilight said to Wingding.

“Would that be fun Austin if we went to this Ponyville?” Wingding asked Austin.

“Yeah that s-sounds like fun.” Austin said softly to Wingding.

“Maybe if you would like... maybe you can join our school.” Twilight said to the child.

“Isn’t your school for teenagers?” Luna asked Twilight.

“I can make an exception and besides we can make Austin some new friends.” Twilight said to the rest.

“I guess it won’t be a bad idea, but it’s up to Austin and Wingding, not us,” Celestia said as she looked at the two.

“I would gladly accept it because I want to know more of your kind and perhaps more, but Austin will take a while to decide if he wants to or not.” Wingding said to the ponies.

“Hmm... I guess I can g-give it a try, maybe gain some confidence if I have new friends.” Austin said softly to the ponies.

“Yeah and I’ll be by your side if anything happens to you.” Wingding said softly to Austin.

“Thank y-you Wings.” Austin said to Wingding with a smile. Austin then got up from his pillow and went to hug Wingding.

“No problem... bro.” Wingding said as he returned the hug. The ponies aww’d at the two hugging.

“Isn’t that the cutest thing sister.” Luna said to Celestia.

“It is Tia.” Celestia said as she smiled at the two. Austin and Wingding then broke the hug.

“Well we best get going, Spike will worry if we don’t get back.” Twilight said to the rest.

“Alright Twilight and Tempest, have a safe travel back home.” Celestia said to Twilight and Tempest.

“We will Princess, thank you,” Twilight said to Celestia as she bowed her head down to her. “And I’ll see you two when you come to Ponyville alright?” Twilight asked the two.

“Of course, see you soon Twilight.” Wingding said to Twilight.

“B-bye Twilight and Tempest see y-you two soon.” Austin said to the two.

“Bye every pony see you all soon.” the two ponies said as they waved their hooves at them and they were gone.

“Well maybe we should get some food for us as well, what do you all think?” Celestia asked the rest.

“I think that sound good to me.” Luna said to Celestia.

“I can eat as w-well.” Austin said to Celestia with a smile.

“I don’t need to eat, but I can keep you all company.” Wingding said to the rest.

“Let’s go get some food then.” Celestia said to the rest. Celestia, Luna, Austin and Wingding then started to trek towards the dining room while Austin was holding on to both Celestia’s and Luna’s wings, smiling happily.


“Are you sure it’s safe to go in it yet, what if we don’t get to the destination before Necrafa does?” Sans asked Gaster.

“Don’t be so worried son, we will get there. I fix all of the tweeks to the machine so it should teleport us to Equestria.” Gaster reassured Sans.

“Alright G I trust you but should we wait for Paps first?” Sans asked Gaster.

“No need brother.” A voice said out of nowhere. They both turn around and saw another skeleton that is taller than Sans, but almost taller than Gaster.

“Paps and... kid?” Sans said as he saw a human behind the tall skeleton.

“I promised Frisk to tag along, if that is fine with you.” the skeleton named Papyrus said to his brother.

Sans sighed and responded. “Fine... hehe Tori is gonna kill me.” Sans said to himself.

“Don’t worry brother I’ll watch Frisk while we find Austin.” Papyrus said to Sans.

“Alright... just stay close to us okay kid?” Sans asked the human named Frisk. Frisk nodded to Sans.

“Well shall we everyone.” Gaster said to them. They all nodded and Gaster activated his machine. The center of the machine became to form a swirly portal and one by one, they all went into the portal and into the unknown.
