It was a nice warm day with clouds in the sky, keeping the sun company. The sun rays was shining on the balcony door and onto the small child. Austin started to open his eyes but couldn’t see because the sun ray was blinding him. As he adjusted his eyes, he was in Celestia’s bedroom.
I must’ve slept on the way back. Austin thought to himself.
As he got up from the bed, his stomach growled. He placed a hand on his chest, still growling.
How long was I sleeping? It feels like it’s the afternoon now. Oh well, I better get some food and see where momma Celestia and momma Luna are. Austin said to himself as he got out of the bed and went to change his clothes.
He wore a brown shirt with blue jeans and his black shoes on. He went to the door and opened the door.
Now where is the dining hall again? Austin thought as he placed a hand on his chin. Oh yeah it’s this way. Austin said as he pointed at the left side of the hallway and proceeded to walk that way.
As Austin was walking to the dining hall, a tall figure was walking the other side of the dining room and was about to pass Austin.
“Morning.” The figure said to Austin.
“Morning.” Austin replied back to the figure.
As he continued to walk, he stopped and he looked at the figure, which the figure did the same.
“G-Gaster?” Austin said looking surprised.
“Hello Austin.” Gaster said to Austin.
“GASTER!!” Austin said happily as he ran towards Gaster, knocking him down to the floor and giving him a big hug.
“It’s so good to see you my dear boy.” Gaster said as he returned the hug.
“But how did y-you get here?” Austin asked curiously.
“I built a teleporter to teleport here to find you.” Gaster said to Austin.
“You built a teleporter... t-to find me.” Austin said to Gaster, feeling a bit touched.
“Of course! We wanted to help you find your inner soul power to defeat Necrafa.” Gaster said to Austin with a smile on his face.
“We?” Austin said curiously. Gaster stopped the hugging and got up from the floor.
“Follow me.” Gaster said as he gestured his hand to follow him.
As the both of them walked to the dining hall, Gaster opened the dining hall doors and went in the room. As Austin walked in, his eyes widened as he saw Sans, Papyrus, and Frisk talking to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. The three looked at him and Papyrus and Frisk tackled him to the floor and gave him a big hug, which he returned the hug too.
“Human Austin! I’m so glad you are safe and sound.” Papyrus said as he tightened his hug.
“It’s good to see you t-too Papyrus.” Austin said as he was struggling to speak with the bone crushing hug.
“Paps you should give him some air, your crushing him a little.” Gaster said to Papyrus.
“Oh sorry Austin, I’m just happy to see you!” Papyrus said as he loosened his hug.
“What about me? Did you miss me?” Frisk said to Austin.
“Of course! I would n-never forget about the first human to be friends with me.” Austin said as he hug Frisk, which Frisk smiled lightly.
“Heya kiddo.” Sans said to Austin as he approached the three of them.
“Sans!” Austin said he got up from the floor to give Sans a hug.
“Hehe sup kiddo.” Sans said as he put a hand on his head.
“Wait a minute...” Austin said as he stopped hugging Sans. “How did you guys know where I was?” Austin said curiously to the four.
“Well it all started yesterday...” Gaster began.
The Day Before
“Huff... huff... I think we lost them.” Sans said as the four was in a dark alleyway in Ponyville.
The four looked out the alley to see if the cost was clear, but they saw ponies fighting the two constellations, while other ponies were running in terror.
“We got to help them. It’s our fault we brought them here.” Papyrus said as he had a sad expression on his face.
“If we do help them, they could kill us. We don’t know these species or any other creatures that might want to kill us and I don’t want to put you all in risk again.” Gaster said to Papyrus.
“G’s right, we don’t know these creatures are. The only thing we know is that they look like those colorful horses from that tv show Frisk likes to watch.” Sans said to them.
“But we at least need to do something to help them.” Papyrus said as he looked at Gaster.
“I’m sorry son, but I’m sure these colorful horses can handle themselves. Besides it looks like they can possess magic... at least the ones with the horns.” Gaster said Papyrus.
The four went back in the alleyway and they all sat down, exhausted from all the running. Papyrus looked down at the floor, feeling guilty that he isn’t doing anything to help the ponies. He clutched his fist and got up from the floor. Gaster, Sans and Frisk looked at Papyrus as he was about to leave the alley.
“Paps where are you going?” Sans asked Papyrus.
“I’m going out to help them.” Papyrus said to the three.
“But they could hurt you or worse bro! I don’t want to lose you!” Sans said in a worried tone.
“What if they are friendly? Plus if I help them they can trust us and maybe they know where Austin is... if he is in this world.” Papyrus said to Sans.
“...” Sans grumbled lightly.
Papyrus was about to leave the alley, until he heard a loud roar. All four covered their ears from the loud roar and when it stopped, they uncovered their ears.
“What on earth was that?!” Sans said to Gaster.
“I recognize that roar. That’s Godzilla’s roar!” Gaster said, looking surprised.
“Godzilla? Like the king of all monsters?” Sans asked curiously.
“Yes.” Gaster said to Sans.
“But how is Godzilla here? He is back on earth, hibernating... unless...” Sans said as he realized something.
“Austin.” Frisk said with a smile.
“What are we waiting for, let’s go find him!” Sans said as he got up from the floor.
“I like your enthusiasm, but we should -“ Gaster said but was cut off by Papyrus.
“Hey I see him. AUSTIN!!” Papyrus yelled at Austin.
Gaster pulled Papyrus back in the alleyway before Austin saw him. Gaster peeked the corner and he saw Austin walk away with the rest of his pony friends.
“Dad why did you do that?! He was right there! Why did you pull me back in the alley?” Papyrus asked, sounding upset.
“I know you are all excited that he is here, but he could be watched. If he is being watch by Necrafa’s goons, they could see us too.” Gaster said to the three.
“So?” Sans asked Gaster.
“So it means she will know what we are doing and find a way to stop us from helping Austin find his inner soul power.” Gaster explained.
“Well if she did it wouldn’t stop us from helping him.” Sans said to Gaster.
“She could. Remember she is ruthless and wouldn’t care if she killed her own minions. She will kill everything that gets in her way, including us.” Gaster said to Sans.
“You do have a point, but what if she isn’t here and you are just being paranoid?” Sans said to Gaster.
“That could be true and it would be dumb if she sent her minions to spy on him in a average population.” Gaster said as he put his hand on his chin.
“Well just like most villains, once dumb, always dumb.” Sans said as he chuckled a bit.
“I don’t think that’s how most villains are.” Gaster deadpanned.
“Hehe for me it is.” Sans said with a wink.
“Sure Sans. Well I think we should stay here until night and if we are lucky, they will be alone. For now we should rest a bit, regain the energy we lost today.” Gaster said to the three.
“Don’t have to tell me twice to sleep heh.” Sans said as he began to shut his eyes.
Gaster was starting to shut his eyes too and when his eyes was fully shut, he fell asleep. Papyrus and Frisk didn’t sleep, they were excited to see his friend that they couldn’t sleep.
“I know what we can do Frisk. We could do some puzzles that I brought with me in case we get bored. You want to do that Frisk?” Papyrus asked Frisk. Frisk looked up at Papyrus and nodded.
Hours pass as the sky was now turning dark. Papyrus and Frisk saw the sun slowly falling in the sky.
“It looks like it’s time to wake them up now.” Papyrus said to Frisk, which she nodded.
Papyrus went to wake up Sans, while Frisk went to wake up Gaster. Gaster was the first one to wake up from his nap. He rubbed his eyes and realized it was turning night.
“Oh it appears I slept for a while now.” Gaster said to the two.
Gaster looked over at Sans, still snoring in his sleep. Gaster shook him a bit to try to wake him up.
“Mmm five more minutes.” Sans grumbled.
Gaster sighed and he spawned one of his bone hands. The bone hand slapped Sans’ cheek bone and Sans finally woke up.
“Alright im up and also OW!!” Sans yelled a bit.
“Sorry Sans but we need to be a move on if we can catch up to Austin.” Gaster said to Sans.
“Yeah yeah... I was having the best sleep too.” Sans grumbled.
“You can sleep when we find Austin again alright Sans.” Gaster said to Sans.
“Fine.” Sans agreed.
The four looked at the exit of the alley and saw no ponies on the dirt road. They all stepped out the alley and on the dirt road. They quietly walk through the road to not be detected by the ponies or make noises to alert them too. They all got behind a building to peek the corner. When they peek the corner, they saw two figures, Wingdings and Austin.
“There they are.” Gaster said in a whisper.
They saw that Austin looked exhausted from today and they saw Wingdings carrying him before walking away.
“Let’s go.” Gaster said quietly.
The four of them quietly followed Wingdings to what appeared to be a train station. The four got to the bottom of the stair and hid on the ground. As they all heard a train stop, they peeked their heads up and saw Wingdings going in the train.
“Don’t worry I got this.” Sans said to the three.
Sans touched Gaster’s shoulder, Gaster holding Papyrus and Frisk’s hands and they all got teleported in the train. They were luckily in an empty cart, but they didn’t see any signs of Wingdings. After looking through some windows, they spotted him looking at a window in the next cart and decided to teleport to him. The four was now standing close to Wingdings and they walked closer to him. As they got to his seat, Gaster was the one to speak.
“Hello W.D.” Gaster greeted.
Wingdings turned to see the three skeletons and the one human.
“Gaster?!” Wingding said, surprised.
“Yes Wingdings it’s me.” Gaster said to Wingdings.
Wingdings got up from his seat and gave them all a hug.
“It’s good to see you all well.” Wingdings said to the four.
“And it’s good that you two are alright and not in the hands of Necrafa.” Gaster said to Wingdings.
“We haven’t seen any of her minions when we came here, so she might not know where we are, but she might find out soon.” Wingdings said to Gaster.
“Well that’s a relief.” Gaster said to Wingdings.
“See told you were paranoid.” Sans said to Gaster.
“I was making sure Sans.” Gaster said to Sans.
“Please take a seat, I better tell you where we live for now.” Wingdings said to the four.
They took a seat on the opposite side of Wingdings and Austin. Wingdings then explained how they got here and all the things that happened when they came here.
“So Austin said that he got to Equestria by a dark blue aura and in a world full of ponies —“ Gaster began.
“Fell from the sky and got saved by the ruler of Equestria — “ Papyrus said in a worried tone.
“Got attacked by a bug queen and exposed his powers to save these ponies, as well share his past —“ Sans said.
“And he fought the Ursa Minor and Ursa Major to save the ponies in that village?!” Frisk said, stunned.
“Yeah that pretty much sums it up.” Wingdings said to the four.
“Geez the kiddo has been doing a lot since he got here.” Sans said to Wingdings.
“Yeah, but he trust the ponies that he would sacrifice himself to save one.” Wingdings said to the four.
“Hmm but I wonder what the blue aura belonged to?” Gaster asked with his hand on his chin.
“I wanted to know as well, but I was more focused on keeping Austin safe and visiting the ponies today.” Wingdings said to the four.
“Well maybe these rulers have some answers.” Sans said to Gaster and Wingdings.
“Yeah maybe they have an answer.” Papyrus said to the two.
“Well first we have to introduce you to them and see if you can stay with us.” Wingdings said to the four.
“Yes we should introduce ourselves to them and hopefully they can let us stay for now.” Gaster said to Wingdings.
The five of them then stared to see a giant castle not that far. All six came to the station and got out. The four followed Wingdings to the castle, with Austin in his arms sleeping and the guards in the front pointed their spears at them.
“Their with me.” Wingdings said to the guards.
The guards looked at each other for a second and let them through. The six of them opened the door to the throne room, seeing two Alicorn ponies waiting for them. Celestia stood up and trek towards the group. Wingdings handed over Austin to Celestia and Celestia nuzzled his head a bit, then placed Austin on her back.
“I’m glad you and Austin came back safe... it looks like you found new friends.” Celestia said to Wingdings.
“Their not exactly new, you
may know Gaster right here.” Wingdings said as he gestured to Gaster.
“Oh yes I almost didn’t recognize him.” Celestia said with a chuckle.
“That’s alright, but I will introduce them for you. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, meet Gaster, Sans, Papyrus, and Frisk.” Wingdings said as he gestured to them.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you your highnesses.” Gaster said as he bowed to the princesses.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you too Gaster.” Celestia said to Gaster.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you as well.” Luna said to Gaster.
“Heya it’s nice to meet ya. Put it their pals.” Sans said as he raised his two arms for a hand shake.
“It’s nice to meet you too Sans.” Celestia and Luna said as they took the skeletons hands. They both heard farting sounds when they took his hands.
“Hehehe. The old whoopee cushion in the hand trick, it’s always funny.” Sans said as the three laughed.
“SANS!! I do apologize for my brother, he is always like this.” Papyrus said to the princesses.
“It is alright he just wanted to make us laugh.” Celestia said to Papyrus.
“Yes I know, but his jokes can be... annoying. Anyways I’m the Great Papyrus it’s a pleasure to meet you Ms. Celestia, Ms. Luna.” Papyrus said as he shook their hooves.
“It is a pleasure to meet you too, but you can call me Celestia.” Celestia said with a warm smile.
“And you may call me Luna as well.” Luna said to Papyrus.
The last one now was Frisk, which she was a bit shy towards the tall Alicorns. The two saw this and decided to approach Frisk. They got on all four to make them not intimidating.
“Hello young one, Frisk was it?” Celestia said to Frisk.
“Hmm.” Frisk nodded.
“It is nice to meet you. Don’t be scared of us, we won’t harm you.” Celestia said to Frisk with a warm smile.
“We only like to know you better and wanted to say hi.” Luna said to Frisk.
“I-it’s nice to meet you Princess Celestia a-and princess Luna.” Frisk said shyly.
The two alicorns got up and looked at the four with curious expressions.
“How did you four get here?” Celestia asked curiously.
“I built a teleporter in search for Austin to warm him that the evil queen will come, but in my mind I thought she was already here and it doesn’t look like she’s here.” Gaster said to Celestia.
“Oh phew I thought you were going to take him away from us.” Celestia said in relief.
“Well from what Wingdings said to me, he exposed his powers and past to you ponies very fast, even though you just met him, so I assume he trusts you very much.” Gaster said to Celestia.
“Yeah it was scary how he would throw his life away just to save me from Chrysalis.” Celestia said to Gaster.
“That’s sounds like Austin alright, always risking everything to protect the ones that needed to be helped, but he doesn’t get the same treatment unfortunately.” Gaster said in a sad tone.
“Well we do and it always makes him more confident in himself instead of being untreated by others.” Celestia said in a annoyed tone as she thought of the kids that Austin mentioned on earth.
“Indeed. it would give him more confidence, which would help him in the future.” Gaster said to Celestia.
“Sorry to interrupt princess, but can they stay with us for a while?” Wingdings asked Celestia.
“No need to apologize and of course they can stay, any friends of my son is a friend of mine.” Celestia said happily.
son? Sans thought to himself.
“Come I will find a good spare room for you all to sleep.” Celestia said happily.
“Please any room will be fine Princess.” Gaster said to Celestia.
“Nonsense, we treat our guest fairly and that’s what we are doing.” Luna said to Gaster.
“Well anything is better than sleeping on the ground.” Sans said to the princesses.
“Even though you sleep everywhere.” Papyrus whispered to himself.
“I heard that Paps and... your right.” Sans said as he was about to start an argument, but didn’t feel like it.
The group then walked out the throne to find a good bedroom for Gaster, Sans, Papyrus, and Frisk.
In the present
“And that’s how we got here.” Gaster said to Austin.
“Wow you all must’ve had a-a long trip to find me.” Austin said to Gaster.
“It wasn’t that bad, you know being chased by wooden wolves, awakening the Ursa Minor and Ursa Major that could’ve destroyed the village we were hiding in. Just to name a few.” Sans said to Austin.
“Yes our visit wasn’t the best, but we finally caught a break and found you, as well as found a temporary home for us.” Gaster said to Sans.
“I guess your right.” Sans said to Gaster.
“Well you can stay as much as you want.” Celestia said happily.
“We appreciate it really,” Gaster said happily to Celestia. “Austin can I tell you something?” Gaster asked Austin.
“Sure! What i-is it?” Austin asked curiously.
“Do you know who teleported you here?” Gaster asked Austin. Luna got a bit nervous when Gaster asked that question.
“No I still don’t know who brought me here, but I’m glad they did, otherwise I would of been captured by Necrafa.” Austin said to Gaster.
Gaster put a hand on his chin.
“Well it doesn’t matter anymore. You are safe and that is good.” Gaster said to Austin. “Now on to the topic. Austin, have you been training when you came here?” Gaster asked Austin.
“U-uh... no.” Austin said embarrassed.
“Wings why didn’t you train him during the time he was here?” Gaster asked Wingdings, sounding a bit frustrated.
“Well first, he was scarred and scared to even train, second, we have been busy taking with other ponies from here and in Ponyville to train, and third... I forgot to train him.” Wingdings said as he scratched his back skull, looking embarrassed.
Gaster sighed. “Must I do everything myself.” Gaster said as he put his hand on his skull. “Austin, we will begin our training immediately.” Gaster said to Austin.
“What?! But what a-about breakfast?” Austin asked Gaster.
“We don’t have time for —“ Gaster said when he was interrupted by his stomach growling. “Why is my stomach growling? I don’t even have organs!” Gaster sighed. “Fine, we shall eat, but after that we train.” Gaster said to Austin.
“Okay!” Austin said happily.
The group went to the table to get some food for themselves
And begin Austin’s training for when Necrafa comes.
“Your highness, we have gathered our troops and are ready when you are.” Grievous said to Necrafa.
“Excellent. We will leave now.” Necrafa said to the general. The general nodded.
Necrafa then looked at her royal subjects and her royal astromancer, Tazma Grimm. Tazma nodded at her and they both raised their hands in the air. Pure shadows emitted from their hands and the ground began to shake. The building was then covered in the shadows. About a minute the shadows disappeared and the ground stopped shaking. Queen Necrafa stepped outside and saw a ruined castle near them. She noticed a forest at the end of the old bridge. The queen sinisterly smiled.
“Now where are you Golden Child?” Necrafa said as grievous was next to her.
“What should we do now?” Grievous asked Necrafa.
“Now...” Necrafa evilly laughed. “We find the Golden Child.”
To Be Continued...
