//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Aftermath: Multiverse? // Story: Age Of Devil Fruits // by Madforce Entertainment //------------------------------// Scootaloo flew towards the Crystal Empire. As she flew through the air, her eyes began to feel heavy. “I’ve been flying for too long,” she yawns, “okay let’s find some shelter.” Scootaloo looks for a secluded place to land, She sees a cave. “That will do.” She then flew down towards the cave and landed at the entrance of the cave. “Hmmm, I hope there are no bears inside.” Scootaloo placed the Haven Bag on the snowy ground. A chill ran through her body, “Whoa, I should have put on a coat or something.” At this moment Sunset climbed out of the Haven Bag, she was carrying a coat. “Hey Scootaloo, we’ve noticed a drop in temperature, so I brought this out for you,” Sunset said, giving the Tomboy the coat. “Thanks, Sunset.” Scootaloo takes the coat from Sunset and puts it on. Sunset looks at the cave. “A cave, hope there are no bears inside,” Sunset said, releasing what Scootaloo said before. Scootaloo chuckles after hearing Sunset repeat her words. “I just said that.” “Huh, great minds think alike.” Sunset picks up the Haven Bag. Scootaloo looks at the bag. “How’s Isaac?” She asks, “I don’t know, Zecora is doing some first aid on him now,” Sunset replied, she looked at the cave. “We should check the Cave, just in case.” Sunset suggested. “Yeah let’s check this cave, then after we’ll check on Isaac,” Scootaloo said, then she and Sunset walked into the cave to see if it was occupied. Inside the Haven Bag Zecora was giving Isaac some medical treatment. “Be honest Zecora, how bad does it look?” Isaac asked the Zebra Doctor. “I will not lie; this looks worse from yesterday. You have internal and external bruises, and I believe you may have some bone fractures.” Zecora told Isaac giving him her diagnosis. “Yeah, it feels like I might have a few,” Isaac said, with a tense tone. “But I don’t fully know what other damages Rainbow Dash may have inflicted upon you.” Zecora walked to her medical table. “I shall make you some medicine, to help you recover. But we must find a doctor's office to give you a full examination.” She stated, beginning to Grind up some herbs. “I have a friend within the Crystal Empire who could help.” “Are you sure your friend would help me?” Isaac asked Zecora. “I mean another Human went on a rampage over there.” “True, But My friend isn’t a Doctor per-say, she’s like me but an Earth-Pony with a doctor’s office, but I can perform the examination myself, so you don’t have to worry about getting rejected for medical treatment," Zecora explains to Isaac, as she mixed her herbs. "Hmmm okay, Zecora." "Do you have a plan, Isaac?" Zecora asked. Isaac looks at Zecora with a raised eyebrow. “Plan?” “For, when we reach the Crystal Empire,” Zecora explains to Isaac. “To be honest, no I don’t have a plan,” Isaac answered, rubbing the back of his head. “I didn’t plan anything, the only reason why we’re heading to the Crystal Empire is because there’s another human there with Devil Fruit powers. I just didn’t think about anything else.” Isaac said to Zecora who just finished making Medicine. “True, I also didn’t think that far ahead myself.” Zecora brings the Medicine to Isaac. “For the number of injuries you have, my workstation isn’t equipped for it.” She explains. “So, what do you think?” Isaac takes his medicine and pulls a bitter face. “You’re going to redesign your Haven Beg?” He asked. “I’m afraid that would be impossible,” Zecora replied, Isaac looked at her with a curious look. “Haven Bags are made for one specific purpose. Yours and mine are made for camping. So, I must buy a new one, made for Field-Medic” Zecora explains. “And where can we buy one of those?” Isaac asked, curious about buying Haven Begs. “We have to find some pony who specialises in making Haven Bags, and they can be tricky to find sometimes,” Zecora explains. “Are they like Hermit?” Isaac asked again. “Yes and no, they have to travel to find the materials to make their Haven Bags,” Zecora replied. “Hmmm, that’s interesting. Maybe I could make a commission.” Isaac said to himself think of his perfect Haven Bag. “If you could find one they’ll take your commission, but be warned. They’ll cost you more than all four of your lambs.” Zecora said, with a mischievous smile. “How much, we talking?” Isaac asked. “For a Bag like this, it would cost about 200,000 Bits,” Zecora answered. Isaac's jaw dropped from hearing this. “200,000? Compare to that my bounty sounds like pocket change.” He said, in shock. “Yes, Haven Bags are expensive, but they were made to last longer than your lifespan. So, you're paying for top quality.” Zecora said. “But we’ll think about that later. You need bed rest.” Zecora grabs Isaac’s, Haven Bag. “I’ll come to get you when Scootaloo and Sunset return.” “Yeah, you're right Zecora,” Isaac said, standing up and approaching his Haven Beg. “Okay, I’ll get some rest. Just don’t let me nap for too long, I get a little cranky if I nap for too long.” Isaac asked Zecora. “I will now get some rest. Doctors orders.” Zecora told Isaac who slipped into his Haven Bag, and Zecora Cleans up her Haven Bag to kill some time. Scootaloo and Sunset navigate their way through the cave, and they found no evidence of anything living their reason or long ago. “Okay.” Sunset stops walking. “I think it’s safe to say here, we’re the only ones here.” She said to Scootaloo. “Yeah, I think we’re…” Scootaloo’s ear twitched. Sunset saw Scootaloo’s ear twitching. “What’s up?” “I can hear something; it sounds like someone hitting rocks together repeatedly,” Scootaloo said, looking in the direction where the sound was coming from. “Someone else must be here, and if you can hear them hitting rocks together, they must be trying to start a fire. Let’s go see who they are, they might need help.” Sunset said, walking in the direction where Scootaloo was looking. “But what if they are bad guys?” Scootaloo asked. “Well, if they are, I’ll give them some fire,” Sunset replied, with a wicked smile. Scootaloo gets chills from Sunset’s smile. “Wow, you just gave me chills, and it’s freezing here.” She said following Sunset. “Wait, you took me seriously?” Sunset asked Scootaloo, in surprise. “I was only joking.” Scootaloo gave Sunset a deadpan look. “You’ve given me a chill over a joke?” She asked unamused. “I mean I like a little dark humour, but pick a better time and a place.” Sunset smiled and stuck out her tongue a little, and rubbed the back of her head. “Yeah, sorry I just said what came to mind.” She said, leading Scootaloo down the cave. “Hmmm, Okay” Scootaloo raised an eyebrow. “Humans are weird creatures.” She thought to herself. After a few moments, Sunset and Scootaloo can hear the sound of Rocks being hit together, and someone's voice echoing through the cave. “Come on! Light you a stupid pail of wood!” A tomboyish voice said in a stressed-out tone. Sunset looked at Scootaloo and suggested staying quiet by putting her finger on her lips. Scootaloo nodded understanding what Sunset was silently telling her. Scootaloo used her recently acquired power and was flawed on the ground. Sunset and Scootaloo found where the voice came from. They found not a Pony or a Human, but a Humanoid Feline sitting on her knees trying to start a fire. She has Tanned-skin, with huge bushy Grayish-Brown hair with two black cat ears poking out. She has on her upper arm and four arms. And she has sharp claws on her hands and feet, and a black cat tail around her waist, probably to keep warm. Her outfit looked to be a onesie suit, the torso was red, and higher up was a darker undershirt, her leggings were a dark shade of purplish red, with cuts around her knees. Scootaloo was puzzled looking at the cat-girl, but Sunset had starry eyes. “Wow, an actual cat-girl! Look at those ears and that tail!” The cat looked around her to make sure she was the only one there. Sunset saw her left eye was yellow and the right eye was light blue. “Oh, my goodness! She has mixed eyes! AHHHHH, I WANT TO PET HER!” Sunset thought to herself.  “First, I get sent here by that Lobelia Organization, and now I’m stuck in this stupid frozen cave! And I can’t start a stupid fire!” She throws the rock in anger. “I’m going to freeze here, and because of a snow cat!” “She was sent here by Lobelia? The same as me and Isaac.” Sunset thought to herself. “Lobelia, Isaac said he was looking for them.” Scootaloo looks at Sunset. Sunset takes off the Haven Bag and passes it to Scootaloo. “I’ll go and say hi.” She whispered to Scootaloo who nodded and stayed quiet. “WHO’S THERE!” The cat-girl called out. Sunset stepped out into the opening and revealed herself to the cat girl. The Cat-girl looks at Sunset and gets ready to fight her. “Whoa, their kitty. I’m not here to fight.” Sunset said, holding out her hands. “What did you call me!?” The Cat-girl questioned Sunset, her claws extending and her tail pointing straight. “Sorry, sorry. I didn’t know your name, and I called you the first thing that came to mind.” Sunset said, to the cat-girl who looks like she was about to ponce. Sunset naively smiles. “You were trying to make a fire; do you want any help?” The Cat-girl looks at Sunset and notices her outfit. “Hold on, how are you not freezing your tail off? You're wearing the same amount as I am.” She asked Sunset. The sunset created a small ball of fire in her left hand. “Does this answer your question?” She asked the Cat-girl. The Cat-girl jumped back from where she was standing and took a low stance. “Are you a Princess or something?” The Cat-girl questions Sunset again.  Sunset burst out laughing at the Cat-girl who was confused at the outburst of laughter. “I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help myself. Of all the questions you could have asked, you asked me if I was a Princess.” Sunset replied, restarting laughing again, tears began to form in her eyes. The Cat-girl wasn’t amused by Sunset’s laughing. “Okay, I get it. You're not a Princess.” Sunset keeps laughing. “You can stop now.” Sunset kept laughing more. “Seriously stop.” Sunset laughing so hard that her tummy starts to hurt. “ENOUGH ALREADY!” The Cat-girl shouted at Sunset. Sunset finally stops laughing. “Sorry, sorry.” Sunset straightened herself. “Okay, I couldn’t help but overhear what you were saying to yourself.” The Cat-girl raised an eyebrow. “We need to talk, but first we should get you warmed up. My friend over there.” Sunset pointed in Scootaloo's direction, who was still staying out of sight. “We have shelter, and you're more than welcome to share it with us,” Sunset said, offering the Cat-girl shelter from the cold. “Why?” The Cat-girl asked. “And what do you want to talk about?” “Lobelia,” Sunset replied. The Cat-girl's eyes widened from hearing that name. “They sent you here two?” She asked once more. “Yep, the same as you. I'm betting they gave you a box with a book and a fruit with a swirly pattern over it, and a letter as well.” Sunset replied. “They did, and I have a box with those items.” The Cat-girl said, confirming that she was sent by Lobelia. “So, what n-n-no-ACHOOO!” The Cat-girl gives a cute sneeze. “Awwwww!” Sunset said, placing her hand on her cheeks with her eyes lit up with stars. “So cute.” “I AM NOT…ACHOOO!” The Cat-girl sneezed again. “Okay, you need to get out of the cold.” Sunset turned in Scootaloo’s direction. “Scootaloo! Bring the haven bag here.” Sunset called for Scootaloo. Scootaloo walked towards Sunset with the Haven Bag over her shoulder. The Cat-girl's eyes widened from seeing Scootaloo. “What is that?” She asked, what kind of creature Scootaloo is. Scootaloo raised an eyebrow at the Cat-girl. “I’m a pony,” Scootaloo replied, with a hint of annoyance. “And, what in Celestia’s name are you?” She asked the Cat-girl. “I’m a human.” The Cat-girl answered, Sunset and Scootaloo were confused by the Cat-girls' answers. “She must have eaten a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.” Sunset thought to herself.  “She’s human?” Scootaloo thought to herself. “Hmmm, okay. Well in any case.” Sunset looks at Scootaloo. “Can you open the Haven Bag?” Sunset asked the young Tompony. “Sure.” Scootaloo placed the Haven Bag on the ground and opened it. “What’s that?” The Cat-girl asked, looking at the Haven Bag. “This is a Haven Bag,” Scootaloo replied. “Don’t you have them where you're from?” She asked. “No, never heard of a haven-bag. How does it work?” The Cat-girl asked, curious about the Haven Bag. “Here I’ll show you.” Scootaloo placed her feet together and hopped inside the bag. She was sucked inside the bag. The Cat-girl was surprised after seeing Scootaloo getting sucked inside the bag. “Did that bag eat her!?” She asked, in shock seeing this mysterious bag eat Scootaloo.  Sunset laughs a little. “No, no the bag is bigger inside than outside,” Sunset explains. “Grab your box, and I’ll help you inside the bag,” Sunset said to the Cat-girl. “Hmm.” The Cat-girl grabs the box she received from The Lobelia Organization. She stands next to the opened bag. “Ready?” Sunset asked, offering her hand. “Umm, sure.” The Cat-girl said, taking Sunset’s hand. “That won’t hurt, will it?” “No, it’s like going down a slide,” Sunset explains, to the Cat-girl. “What’s a slide?” The Cat-girl asked. Sunset placed her foot inside, and the Haven Bag sucks Sunset in with the Cat-girl. As the two of them get sucked into the bag the Cat-girl yells. “Woahhh!?” Inside the Haven Bag Scootaloo and Zecora waited for Sunset and the Cat-girl. Who just landed on the floor? After they land, the Cat-girl looks around. “Wow, this place is bigger on the inside.” The Cat-girl said, looking around. “Or we’ve shrunken.” “Indeed, Haven Bags do shrink anything that enters,” Zecora explains to the Cat-girl explaining why the Haven Bag is so big inside. “I see.” The Cat-girl looks at Zecora. “Another Pony?” She asked. “No, I’m a Zebra,” Zecora answered, bringing the Cat-girl a blanket to warm herself up. “Here, cover yourself with this, and I’ll make some tea,” Zecora said, to the Cat-girl. The Cat-girl takes the blanket from Zecora. “Thanks.” She said, wrapping the blanket around herself.  “Where’s Isaac?” Sunset asked, noticing Isaac’s absence. “He’s inside his Haven Bag napping,” Zecora replied. “He did ask me to wake him,” Zecora looks at Scootaloo. “Could you go get him?” Scootaloo was about to answer when Sunset cuts in. “No need, me and our new friend need to have a chat with him.” “Well, if that's the case, then me and Scootaloo I’ll wait for you,” Zecora said, beginning to bail the pot for the tea. “So, what do you need to talk to him about?” Scootaloo asked. “Just some stuff. Nothing for you to worry about.” Sunset replied, walking towards Isaac’s Haven Bag. “So, what are we supposed to do, while you're having this private meeting?” Scootaloo asked, with a raised eyebrow. “You could help me organize my workstation,” Zecora said, to Scootaloo.  “Can’t you do that by yourself?” Scootaloo asked Zecora. “I want to check on Isaac.” “Scootaloo, let Sunset and her new friend talk to him first. Then you can have him all to yourself.” Zecora said, to Scootaloo poking her nose. “Don’t make it weird Zecora!” Scootaloo said, like a pouty teen. Zecora laughed at Scootaloo. “Well, we’re going to talk to Isaac. We’ll try not to be long.” Sunset said, opening Isaac’s Haven Bag. “Come on.” She said to the Cat-girl. “We’re going inside another Haven Bag?” The Cat-girl asked, “ACHOO!” with another cute sneeze.  “Yeah, it’ll be the same as last time,” Sunset said, holding her hand. “Okay.” The Cat-girl takes Sunset's hand. “Here we go again.” Sunset and the Cat-girl get sucked into Isaac’s Haven Bag. Scootaloo and Zecora were left alone. Scootaloo looks at the Bag worried about Isaac, Zecora looks at Scootaloo and notices her expression. “He has External and internal bruises and possible fractures,” Zecora told Scootaloo. “Hmmm?” Scootaloo looks at Zecora. “You're wondering about Isaac, and I told you what was wrong with him,” Zecora told Scootaloo. “I was... but I don’t understand why you're telling me this now,” Scootaloo said, in confusion. “I'm telling you this so you can know,” Zecora explains, she looks at Scootaloo in her eyes. “Do you still blame yourself?” She asked the tomboy. Scootaloo was stunned by Zecora’s question. “I don’t know what you mean.” She said, trying to avoid answering Zecora’s question. “Scootaloo,” Zecora placed her on the tomboy’s shoulder. “I can see it on your face. You still blaming yourself for what happened to Isaac, or you blame yourself for what you have to do to Rainbow Dash.” Scootaloo looks down. “We should talk Scootaloo.” Scootaloo takes a deep breath. “Yeah, maybe we should.” Zecora and Scootaloo sat at the table to have a conversation. Inside Isaac’s haven, Bag Sunset and the Cat-girl landed inside. The Cat-girl looks around Isaac’s bag. “So, this is Isaac’s bag.” She said, noticing the change in her body temperature. “Hmmm, it’s warmer here.” “It might be because of Isaac,” Sunset said, looking for Isaac. “Hey, Isaac! Where are you?” She called for the Lord of Cinder. “Where is this guy?” The Cat-girl asked, looking at Sunset. The door to the fire Oven opened, and inside was a pile of Cinders. “Hmmm?” The Cat-girl was confused by the Oven door suddenly opening. Sunset looked at the now-opened Oven. “Oh, there you are Isaac.” She said, with a smile. “Taking a Cinder nap?” The Cat-girl looks at Sunset with a raised eyebrow. “Your friend is a pile of Ashes?” She asked, in disbelief. Then the ashes and cinder seeped out of the Oven. The Cat-girl looked surprised by the sudden unnatural movement of the Ashes and Cinders. “What the?” Sunset smiled, “Nope, he's the pile of Cinders.” She told the Cat-girl, as Isaac reforms his body. Isaac finished reforming himself. “Hey, Sunset.” He said, greeting a fellow power holder. “Ahhh!” The pain returned to his body. “Maybe I should have stayed in my Cinder form.” He said, sitting on a chair. Isaac noticed the Cat-girl with Sunset. “Who’s this?” He asked. “This is….” Sunset realized she doesn’t know the Cat-girls name. Nor did she introduce herself. “Ahhhhh, crap.” She thought to herself while sweating a little. Isaac noticed this, “You forgot to introduce yourself, didn’t you?” He asked Sunset. “Yes.” Sunset confessed. “Well, in that case, I’m Lancer D Isaac.” Isaac introduced himself to the Car-girl. “I’ve eaten the Cinder Cinder Fruit, a Logia type. “And I’m Sunset Shimmer.” Sunset finally introduced herself to the Cat-girl. “I’ve eaten the Flame Flame Fruit, also a Logia type.” “Nice to meet you both.” The Cat-girl said, also sitting down. “I’d better introduce myself. My name is Catra.” She introduced herself to Isaac and Sunset. Sunset and Isaac looked at the Cat-girl named Catra. “Your name is Catra?” Sunset asked, scratching her head in confusion. “Yes,” Catra replied, with a raised eyebrow. “That can’t be your real name,” Isaac said, to Catra who looked at him with a scale. “I mean, I know you’re a cat-girl from eating a cat Zoan Type Devil Fruit. But calling yourself Catra is a little on the nose.” Isaac said, finishing his statement. “Yeah, he’s right,” Sunset said agreeing with Isaac. “Just because you’ve eaten a Cat-Cat fruit doesn’t mean you have to change your name. So, what’s your real name?” “I’ve already told you, my name!” Catra yelled at Isaac and Sunset. “And what the hell is this stuff about Zoan Types anyway?” She questioned the two of them. Sunset and Isaac were confused after hearing what Catra just said to them. “Okay, let’s take a step back here,” Sunset said, rubbing her brow. “You did said The Lobelia Organization sent you here with a box, and inside was a letter, and a book, and a fruity with swirls on it. Isn’t that, right?” Sunset asked.  “Yes, I did say that,” Catra replied. “But I never said I’ve eaten anything.” She grabs her box and opens it to reveal the contents inside. Inside Catra’s box were the same items that Isaac and Sunset received from The Lobelia Organization. The letter had a broken white seal, a little book, and a red teardrop fruit with black swirls covering it. “Oh, I see so you didn’t eat your fruit yet.” Isaac started looking at the open box. The sunset was confused seeing the open box. “Wait for a second, you said you were Human. But you have cat features, how can you be Human?” Sunset asked, even more, confused than before. Catra takes a breath and leans back on her chair. “Take this with a pinch of salt. I was told when I was young like real young, I was chosen to have body modifications.” Sunset’s and Isaac's eyes widened after hearing what Catra was telling them.  “So yeah, I don’t know if that’s the truth or not. I try not to think about it too much though.” Catra said, finishing answering Sunset’s question. “Someone experimented on you when you were a child!?” Isaac asked, in shock. “Well in a sense yeah,” Catra replied with a shrug. The sunset moves towards the Cat-girl. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry,” Sunset hugging Catra. Catra was surprised by the sudden hug. “OH, thanks. But this happened when I was so young, I don’t even remember it at all.” Catra said, still being hugged by Sunset, who started to cry with some snot coming out of her nose. Catra sees the snot. “Whoa gross! Watch the snot!” Catra yells pushing Sunset off her. “I’m sorry, I just can’t help crying after hearing what they did to you,” Sunset said, crying like Franky from One Piece, she pulled out a guitar from out of nowhere and started to play it. “I call this song, my little experiment Cat-girl.” “Where did that come from?” Catra asked, Isaac. “I have no idea,” Isaac replied, with a rise’s eyebrow. Isaac looks at Catra and several thoughts come to his mind. “Catra, can I ask you something?” He asked the Cat-girl. Catra looks at Isaac. “Sure, what is it?” She asked, back. “Where are you from?” Isaac asked the simplest of questions. Sunset puts down her guitar. “Yeah, Which Country are you from? I don’t recall hearing any Human experimentations on the news, well not In Your case.” She said looking at Catra. Catra was confused by both Isaac’s and Sunset's questions. “What’s a country?” She asked. “Is it like a kingdom of some kind?” Now it was Isaac and Sunset who were confused by Catra’s question. “Okay,” Isaac said, rubbing the back of his neck. “I think we’re jumping the gun a little here.  “Catra, since you don’t know what a Country is, what Kingdom are you from?” Isaac asked, once more. “I’m not from any Kingdoms, I’m from the Fright Zone,” Catra replied, answering Isaac’s question. Isaac and Sunset were confused again, they never heard of a place called the Fright Zone.  “And where’s that exactly?” Sunset asked. “Seriously more questions?” Catra said, starting to get tired of answering Sunset’s and Isaac’s questions. “And to answer your question, it’s in the wasteland of Etheria.” “Hmmm, Etheria?” Isaac looks at Sunset. “Have you ever heard of this place?” He asked. “Nope, can’t say I have,” Sunset said. Catra raised an eyebrow at Isaac and Sunset. “What!? Come on guys, how could you…” Catra realized something. “Wait a second.” She remembers what her letter told her. “Where are you two from?” Catra asked her first question. “I’m from Canterlot, and that’s in America,” Sunset answered first. “I’m from England, also known as Great Britain, and the United Kingdom,” Isaac answered second. “I’ve never heard of those places, and I’ve known almost everything about Etheria,” Catra said after hearing Isaac’s and Sunset’s replies. “So, thinking about everything we’ve just learned about each other, I have concluded a rough idea.” Catra and Isaac look at Sunset. “I believe the Lobelia Organization can access the Multiverse.” “You can’t be serious,” Isaac said with an Unconvinced tone. “What makes you think those guys have access to the Multiverse?” He asked with a raised eyebrow. “As far-fetched as it might sound, just hear me out. I think I have an idea of what's going on here.” Sunset said, to Isaac. Catra was confused about the Multiverse idea, considering this was the first time she’s ever heard of it. “Umm, guys.” Isaac’s and Sunset’s attention turned to Catra. “What’s this Multiverse thing?” She asked. Isaac and Sunset looked at Catra. “You’ve never heard of the Multiverse Theory?” Isaac asked. “Nope never heard of it.” Catra simply replied. “Okay putting in a Nutshell, the world you’re from, Etheria,” Sunset said, starting to explain what the Multiverse is. “And the Multiverse Theory is, there are countless Etheria’s and all of them are different from each other. Some with slight differences and others with dramatic differences. The possibilities are endless.” Sunset said Finishing explaining what the Multiverse is. “So do you have a rough idea?” She asked. “Somewhat of a rough idea about what you're talking about,” Catra replied, trying to understand what Sunset had just told her. “Okay so back to what you were saying before,” Isaac spoke up, getting Sunset’s and Catra’s attention. “So how does the Multiverse Theory come into this situation?” He asked Sunset. “Okay, this is going to take some explaining,” Sunset said, sitting at the table. “Alright, I’ll explain this as best as I can,” Sunset said, getting herself ready to tell Isaac and Catra her story. “This world is similar to my world.” She started. Isaac and Catra looked at Sunset with confused looks. “What do you mean exactly?” Isaac asked, not fully understanding Sunset’s statement. “My original home is Equestria and its shares several similarities to this Equestria,” Sunset said, giving Isaac and Catra a moment to process what she just said. “But there are a couple of differences between the two worlds.” “Like what exactly?” Isaac asked a little uneasy hearing what Sunset is telling them. “In my original world, every creature has the physical appearance of their kind,” Sunset replied. “Wait, are you saying…” “Yes,” Sunset answered Catra’s question letting her finish her question. “This body you see me in, this isn’t my original form. I was once an unicorn.” She said, “A Unicorn?” Isaac asked in disbelief. “An actual Unicorn? With the Horn and everything?” Isaac asked Sunset, trying to figure out how Sunset was a Unicorn. “Yes, all the above,” Sunset replied. “So, if you were a Unicorn, then how could you be human now?” Catra asked, scratching her head. “To make a long story short. I used a magic mirror to travel to another world, and I became Human once I reached the other side.” Sunset replied, putting her story in a Nutshell. “I see,” Catra said, somewhat understanding what Sunset’s answer was. “Ok, so this is where you get the Multiverse idea from?” Isaac asked, Sunset. “Yes, I don’t know about Catra’s world,” she looks at Isaac, “and I’m not sure if we’re from the same world,” Sunset replied. “Hmmmm.” Isaac thinks to himself for a second. “Okay, let’s show each other the letters we’ve received from Lobelia.” He told the two girls, getting his letter out. Catra and Sunset grab their letters from the Lobelia Organization. “Here’s mine,” Catra said, putting her letter on the table with a white seal. “Here’s mine as well,” Sunset said, placing her letter on the table with a red seal. “And this is mine,” Isaac said, placing his letter with Sunset’s and Catra’s, but he has a blue seal. They looked at their letters. “Hey, they have different coloured seals,” Catra stated. “If I have to guess, each seal must be from a different member of the Lobelia Organization,” Sunset said, looking at the letters. “Yeah, you're probably right,” Isaac said, agreeing with Sunset. “My letter was sent by Lapis Lobelia,” Isaac said, telling the girls who sent him his letter. “Lapis Lobelia?” Sunset said, “Mine was given to me by Cinnabar Lobelia.” Sunset said, telling him about another Lobelia. “Lapis and Cinnabar?” Catra said, leading back on her chair. “I got mine from a Ulexite Lobelia.” She told Isaac and Sunset. “Okay, so we’ve been brought here by different members of the Lobelia Organization,” Isaac stated, as he unfolded his letter. Catra looks at the strange writing on Isaac’s letter. “What kind of language is that?” She asked, looking at the weird words that confused her. “It's English,” Sunset replied. “Show us what is written in your letter.” She asked, wanting to see Catra’s letter. Catra unfolded her letter, she showed it to Sunset and Isaac. Sunset and Isaac looked at Catra’s letter, the language in her letter was strange to Isaac and Sunset. “Yep, that looks Alien to me,” Isaac said, looking at the unusual words written on Catra’s letter. “So where does this leave us?” Catra asked. “Well, Maybe we should tell each other what our letters say,” Isaac suggested, to the girls. “The best idea we have, at the moment,” Sunset said, couldn’t think of any other ideas. “So, who’s going first?” Catra asked. “I’ll go first,” Sunset said, grabbing her letter, and began to read it.

Yours sincerely Lapis Lobelia After hearing Isaac’s letter, it did sound similar to hers. “Yeah, you're right. There’s not much difference between our letters.” Sunset said, putting her letter away. Isaac and Sunset looked at Catra. “What about your letter Catra?” Isaac asked. “Well to be honest it’s similar to both of yours, but I think there might have been a mistake,” Catra said, unfolding her letter. Greetings and Salutations Force Captain Caitlyn, you have been randomly selected to be sent to another world. The Fruit inside the box is the Chi-Chi no Mi, better known as the Blood-Blood Fruit. It will grant you the power to control the Blood inside your body, with this power you can weaponise your Blood and change your Blood-Type to match someone else’s. To obtain this power, all you need to do is take a bite of the fruit and swallow it. Fair warning, it will make your stomach turn inside out, but it will be worth it. When you choose to eat the fruit is up to you, there is no rush. With that said, you will be sent to the new world at midnight tonight, so be prepared. In this package, we have also provided an encyclopedia on Devil Fruits, so you can read up on all information to do with your new Devil Fruit.  Now, it would be around this point you’ll be wondering why. We at the Lobelia Organization have observed you and several others from your world, and we believe you deserve a fresh start. We do hope you’ll be grateful for our generosity, also we are sending other individuals to this new world. We advise you to make some friends, good or bad, that's completely up to you. Yours sincerely Ulexite Lobelia “And that’s it,” Catra said, after fighting, reading her letter. “But they must have made a mistake.” “It’s a little similar to ours,” Sunset said, placing her hand by her Chin. “Yeah, it does,” Isaac said, agreeing with Sunset. “You said there was a mistake made?” He asked. “Yeah, I don’t know anyone called Caitlyn, and that’s not my name,” Catra replied. Isaac and Sunset take a moment to think. Isaac gets an idea about the confusion. “Catra?” Catra looks at Isaac. “Could it be possible your name isn’t Catra but Caitlyn?” He asked Catra about the name confusion. Catra was silent for a moment. “What? My name isn’t Caitlyn, or is it?” Catra thinks about Isaac’s question. “Could my name be Caitlyn?” She asked herself, rubbing her forehead. Sunset walks to Catra and places her hand on the Cat-girls shoulder. Who looks at Sunset? “I think Caitlyn is your real name,” Sunset said, helping out the confused cat. “Plus, I think Catra was a little on the nose, you know?” Isaac chimed in.  “Thanks, but this is a lot to take in. I mean I’ve never thought anything about my name. I mean, who would question their name?” Catra said, on the verge of a mental breakdown. “Hey don’t think about it,” Sunset said to the Cat-girl. “She’s right Catra, or Caitlyn, whatever you prefer,” Isaac said. “I mean, for whatever reason those people had for not telling doesn’t matter now. Does it?” Carta takes a breath. “You know, I don’t know, I was about to have a meltdown.” She said, remembering how she was treated by Shadow Weaver. It shouldn’t surprise that Shadow Weaver would hide her real name. “I hate that woman.” She thought to herself. “Okay, so what should we do now?” Sunset asked. “I think we’ve talked enough, Scootaloo and Zecora are probably wondering what’s taking us so long,” Isaac replied, feeling a lot better now thanks to Zecora’s medicine. “Yeah, you're right.” Sunset agreed with Isaac. “Also, I think, Catra or Caitlyn, still needs to introduce herself to Zecora, and Scootaloo.” Sunset looks at the Cat-girl. “Don’t mind me asking but, are we going to call you Catra or Caitlyn?” Sunset asked. “Hmm, I don’t know,” Catra replied. “Hey, your letter said you're a Captain,” Isaac said. “Forget about that,” Catra said. “To be honest, I think I’ll just start over from scratch,” Catra said, without realizing she made a cat pun. “Call me Caitlyn from now on,” Catra said to Isaac and Sunset, clearing what she liked to be called. “Alright, Caitlyn it is then,” Sunset said, with a smile.  “Yeah, Caitlyn suits you more than that,” Isaac said, agreeing with Sunset.  “Okay so now that’s sorted.” Caitlyn looks up to the ceiling of the Haven Bag. “How do we get out here?” She asked. “Oh, that's simple,” Isaac said, standing up, and walking to the center of the Haven Bag. “We’ll make things easier on ourselves and use the ladder.” Isaac opened a trapdoor and pulled out a ladder, and set it towards the ceiling. Caitlyn looks at the ladder. “Oh, that's convenient.” She said, standing from her chair. “Yep, these Bags are equipped for everything we need,” Sunset said, looking at the ladder. She looks at Caitlyn’s Fruit. “Are you leaving your Devil Fruit here?” “Yeah, I’ll leave it here,” Caitlyn replied. "I do not need it now." Isaac Finished setting up the ladder. “Okay, the ladder is ready,” Isaac told the girls. "Coming," Sunset said, then she looked at Caitlyn. “Ready to properly meet Scootaloo and Zecora?” She asked. “Yeah, they waited long enough,” Caitlyn replied, walking with Sunset to the ladder. Isaac, Sunset and Caitlyn climbed the ladder out of the Haven Bag. Scootaloo and Zecora sat at the table drinking some tea. Zecora put down her cup. “Talk to me Scootaloo.” She said, to the young Tomboy. Scootaloo puts down her cup and sighed. “I don’t know what to say Zecora. I feel responsible for Isaac’s injuries, and for hurting Rainbow Dash. I feel like it’s all my fault.” She explains to Zecora, tightening her hands into fists.  Zecora can see Scootaloo tightening her hands into fists. “Scootaloo,” she said softly. “It’s not your fault, Isaac and Rainbow would have encountered each other soon enough. You can’t hold yourself responsible for what happened to Isaac, and Rainbow Dash.” Zecora said to Scootaloo giving the tomboy her wisdom. “Isaac knew he would get hurt at some point, and Rainbow Dash probably knew the same thing. Blaming yourself didn’t help anyone.” Scootaloo knew what Zecora was telling her was true, but she couldn’t help how she felt. Not many can. “So, what should I do now?” Scootaloo asked. “I’m afraid I don’t know.” Zecora takes a sip of her tea. “For the moment, just take it easy for now. The answer will come to you soon enough.” “Do you think so?” Scootaloo asked again. “It’s the only answer I have for the moment.” Zecora sees Isaac’s bag moving. “And we’ll be having some company soon, I shall bail another pot,” Zecora said, walking towards the stove. Scootaloo looked at Isaac’s bag and watched as Isaac and the others climbed out. Isaac, Sunset, and Caitlyn. The group sat down at the table and talked about their next move. To be continued….
