This is why I need you to keep it safe aunt Pinkie Pie! Twilight was happily whistling as she was walking around Ponyville. The town was getting ready to the Summer Festival. It would be a great celebration, twice as big since last year’s celebration was interrupted by Nightmare Moon. Not only that, but Twilight was also celebrating a year of friendship with the girls. Her dear friends. The lavender unicorn was in a really good mood, and she was ready to the celebration. There was only one thing to do left, and that was to check the preparations in Sugar Cube Corner. Spike was the first one to react. It was silent, too silent. He was about to warn Twilight, but it was already too late. Pinkie stampeded to the main plaza and crashed with Twilight at full speed. “Pinkie Pie!” Pinkie shook her head giggling, as she got back on her hooves and started to jump over the same spot over and over. “Oh, hey Twilight! I’m sorry but I’m just too excited! My Pinkie-sense is telling me that a huge adventure is about to start and I’m dying to know what it would be!” “Do you think it would be something dangerous?” asked Spike, eating his claws. “I have no idea; this is why I am so excited! Last time I felt like these I got a nephew from a different dimension! Remember Ben? Oh! He may come to visit!” Twilight shook her head as everything that happened when Ben came to visit came back to her. “Okay, I better warn the others that something big is about to happen.” “Okey-Dokey-Lokey!” cheered Pinkie Pie happily bouncing to enjoy the festival. “We still have plenty of time! The adventure wouldn’t start until nightime! Ehehehe!” Twilight and Spike watched her leave. “Is a good thing we have enough time to prepare then!” said Spike. Twilight agreed. “You’re right! I swear I would never understand this pony!” … A powerful red light disturbed the peace of Everfree Forest, as it was slowly transforming into a portal. A young pony rolled through the portal and crashed into a big tree. He was a 17-year-old colt with short black mane, bluish gray fur; dressed in a red and orange jacket and a welder goggles on his head. The colt complained in pain as he rubbed the bump on his head. “That was nada bien!” complained colt as he stood back on four legs. Then he gasped and took a good look at his new pony shaped and gasped, but he recovered from the shock he nodded. “So, this is what Tennyson meant when he told me my body would change.” Ben’s last words came to his mind as he was shooting him with that dimensional weapon designed by his brother César. “Pinkie Pie, remember that name Rex. I need you to hand over the package to her and no one else”. “So, Pinkie Pie,” said the colt. “Where I am anyway?” A roar, followed by a putrid smile made Rex go back to reality. He turned, only to see a wolf-like creature, who looked like it was made by different pieces of wood, leaves and such. Rex raised an eyebrow. “Órale! And I thought that I’ve seen everything with Providence!” The wooden wolf jumped over Rex, who jumped backwards to dodge the attack. The wolf roared in anger and he tried to use its wooden claws to get the kid. Rex raised a hoof to protect himself, turning into a gigantic robotic hand that blocked the attack. The Timberwolf was taken aback for this sudden change. Rex took its shock as an opportunity to jump on the creature’s back and put his hooves on the back of its head, activating his nanites to cure it. A strange glow surrounded Rex’s hoof. The Timberwolf roared in annoyance, and it shook its whole body send Rex flying against a tree. “Qué diablos? Tennyson told me my powers would still work here… oh right, this thing isn’t an Evo.” He jumped just in time right before to dodge another attack from the monster. Rex smirked. “Okay puppy, it’s time to teach you some manners! I’ve fought things bigger than you!” He transformed his right hoof into a huge cannon. The back end of the cannon enlarged and took a huge chunk of the soil, compressed it and shot it to the monster. The impact turned the Timberwolf into pieces. “Did you like it, ugly? No one can mess with Rex!” But then he noticed how the pile of wood started to float surrounded by a green aura and started to reform the monster. “Perfecto! Time for me to get out of here!” said the colt transforming his hooves into a motorcycle, and escaped as fast as he could. He had no time to waste fighting a self-healing monster over and over again. He had to find this Pinkie Pie, but where to find her? Then he noticed on the package Ben gave her. It started beeping and shoot a light to north. “Huh… that’s convenient!” As he started to go north, he noticed he was on the deepest part of a forest. He could feel the creatures staring at him as he passed by. Groaning, Rex went faster hoping he could get to civilization before nighttime. … After last year’s fiasco, Ponyville decided to go all out for this year’s summer celebration. By Pinkie Pie’s suggestion they decided to celebrate with a big night festival waiting for the glorious moment when Princess Celestia raise the sun and officially starting the summer. The ponies also went as far as to put some kiosks around the town so ponies big and small could come and have fun. And finally, after days of planning, the festival was up and running and everypony was having fun. Pinkie Pie and her friends were walking around the festival when suddenly, Applejack groaned in annoyance. “What’s the matter Applejack?” asked Rainbow Dash. The cowpony simply aimed a hoof to one of the kiosks, and the six friends groaned annoyed. The owner of the kiosk was a blue unicorn with silver blue mane and a purple cape. And to make things worse she waved at them happily. “Hello ladies! Do you want to try your luck with the Great and Powerful Trixie?” “What are you doing here?” asked Rainbow Dash with a frown. “Well, Trixie paid the fee so she can set up her kiosk here! This is a completely legal business. All you need to do is challenge Trixie to do something better than you do. If you win you owe Trixie five bits. But if you beat Trixie, Trixie pays. I’ve lost some rounds but won the majority! Wanna try?” Rainbow Dash smirked with a determined look on her face. “Of course! Let’s see if you can…” Applejack pulled her friend’s tail to make her stop. “Easy Rainbow! Ya’ cannot spend a single day without challenging soempony? Come on, do not waste yer’ money with her! Is not worth it!” “Are you saying I’ll lose?” asked Rainbow Dash. Trixie smirked from her kiosk. “Well, Trixie may not be as gifted as Twilight Sparkle but she still has some skill on her own. So what do you say cowpony? Wanna try?” Luckily for them, Pinkie Pie interrupted by starting to bounce on the same spot over and over. “What is it, Pinkie Pie?” asked Fluttershy, worried. “The adventure is about to start!” The six friends immediately started to look around, ready to face everything and everypony. And finally he arrived, a bluish gray earth pony colt with a red and orange jacked and goggles on over his head. “Hasta que al fin! I swear to God, that damn forest seems endless! Ya qué…” The six friends were about to ask him who he was or where he came from, but Trixie walked towards him first. “Hey kiddo! Want to earn some money? Are your willing to take Trixie’s challenge?” Rex shook his head in confusion, but he just smiled kindly. “Well, that sounds neat… I could use some cash. But I don’t have any money with me, maybe some other time!” Trixie smirked. “If you lose you don’t have to pay Trixie with money. You just have to become Trixie’s assistant for the rest of the night, helping Trixie by bringing customers to her.” Rex though about it for half a second and nodded. “Huh… that may help me to talk to a lot of ponies and find the pony I’m looking for. Either way I win. Okay, what is the reto amiga?” “You have to do something and if Trixie does it better, Trixie wins! What do you say?” “Hey partner, A’ wouldn’t do that if A’ were ya’!” warned him Applejack. But Rex has already walked toward Trixie and put on his goggles. “So I just do my thing and you do better? Okay, prepare the money amiga, because I am going to show you what I’m capable of!” Two giant turbines appeared on Rex’s back, and he used them to hover over the ground with a smirk. Then he made the turbines disappear and landed over his back hooves turning them into huge, mechanized legs. Finally, Rex made the mechanized legs disappeared, and then he turned his right forehoof into a giant sword and swung it around. Trixie’s jaw dropped as she levitated a bag of bits to Rex, and she started to move backwards completely horrified. And Trixie was not the only one. Everypony around was looking at Rex with fear and started to walk backwards avoiding eye contact. “Okay, maaaaybe I did not thought enough about this!” mumbled Rex to himself. “A MONSTER!” shouted somepony among the public. Everypony panicked and started to run away, except for the six bearer of harmony facing Rex ready to fight. “Please!” said Rex going back to normal. “I mean no harm… I am just looking for somepony! Pinkie Pie, does anypony knows Pinkie Pie?” Rainbow Dash flew toward him, frowning. “And what if we do? Who are you and what do you want with Pinkie Pie?” Rex smiled and moved backwards still raising a hoof showing that he meant no harm. Twilight was about to intervene, when Princess Celestia herself landed between the six friends and the visitor. “Hello there, young fellow. That was quite a show you pulled! Can you please tell me who are you and what do you want with Pinkie Pie?” Rex looked at the newcomer. She looked at her up and down and nodded. She must be the Princess that Tennyson told him about. “My name Is Rex Salazar, and I’ve brought a message for Pinkie Pie. A message from Ben Tennyson!” Everypony gasped at the revelation, but after shacking her head, Princess Celestia looked at Rex. “Sorry young colt, did you say Ben Tennyson?” Rex nodded. “Long story short, a friend of mine called Breach told me to a crazy dimension called the Null Void. Luckily for me, the Void is used as a prison for galactic criminals; and my old friend Ben was completing one mission there. He was about to help me go back home when we got ambushed by one of his enemies. A lot of things happened, and he ended up sending me here to look for Pinkie Pie.” “Plumbers?” asked Princess Celestia. “There was a leak at the Null Void or something?” Rex shrugged. “I know that sounds ridiculous, but according to Ben, Plumbers are some kind of intergalactic police force.” After a few minutes of silence, Twilight finally nodded. “So let me see if I get this right, you are not from Ben’s dimension?” “Nope, he just showed up at my dimension and cause a bunch of trouble but we ended up as friends.” Rarity nodded. “Yes, that’s our Ben!” At Princess Celestia’s sign, Rex handed over the green box Ben gave to him. Celestia examined it and then it gave it to Pinkie Pie. Pinkie pressed the button on the green box and suddenly an holographic projection of Ben in human form appeared right in front of her. “Aunt Pinkie Pie! You may not recognize me on this form, but I can assure you I’m me! This is how we look on my dimension. By the way how was your trip, Rex?” “Dude! I could use a warning! I cannot get used to be a walking-talking horse.” complained Ben looking at his new body. Ben chuckled at this, but then the shift he was in was shot and trembled all over. “Auntie, I guess that Rex already told you the basics. We’re at the Null Void, we were running an official investigation. But it ended up being a trap from an old enemy of mine: Vilgax.” Ben took a deep breath before continuing. “Vilgax calls himself the conqueror of a thousand worlds, and he wishes the Ultimatrix more than anything else. And if puts his hands on it, more worlds would fall before him. Vilgax’s army is too big and sooner or later he would capture me despite Rex, Gwen and Kevin are on my side. This is why I told Rex to go to Equestria. Vilgax cannot put his hands on the Ultimatrix. This is why I need you to keep it safe. No matter what, keep the Ultimatrix away from him.” Rex when he heard that, just as the rest of the ponies. Princess Celestia and Twilight tried to stop the container to go to Pinkie Pie but it was already too late. The device has attached itself to Pinkie Pie’s hoof. And they knew nothing they could do would be able to ever remove it from there.
