//------------------------------// // Spell Mishap // Story: Ben 10: Equestria Pony // by MLPFan98 //------------------------------// Castle of Friendship "Here's the book, Twilight!" Spike said as he came with a rather large book in his hands. Today, Twilight Sparkle was going to look through the book to look at some spells for her to try. "Great, thanks Spike." Twilight said with a smile as she used her horn to get the book from him. She then looked through the book to see, because there was one particular spell she wanted to try out…just one. “So…uh…Twilight?” Spike asked with a raised eyebrow. “What exactly are you looking for?” “Well, remember that mirror? The one that lets us go to the other world?” Twilight asked. “Yea….why?” Twilight smiled. “Well, I am looking in here to see if there is any possible way for us to go into here without using the mirror.” She said as she read over the pages. “I mean we know the mirror doesn't always work, and plus I want to see more of Sunset and make sure she is doing alright.” Spike nodded his head. “Sounds fair enough, if anyone can open a portal it;s you Twilight.” He said with a smile. “Although there is also Celestia and Luna too.” He said. Twilight rolled her eyes at him and smirked, she then went back to her book as she read it over and over. “Ok, all I need to do is concentrate really hard.” She said as she then closed her eyes and her horn began to glow. “Concentrate…concentrate…” She thought as the light on her horn grew lighter and brighter than ever! Bellwood Ben Tennyson, the wielder of the Omnitrix and his partner, Rook Blonko were both sitting down at Mr. Smoothie, and they were not too happy. You see about a whip ago, they were told about someone breaking into the Galvan Historical Museum and stealing some of the remains of the mutated Galvanic Mechamorph Malware. They don't know who did it, but whoever it was…it was not good. They worried the two completely because whoever stole the remains of Malware, would obviously use them for evil purposes…and Malware was not easy to beat. Ben remembered that too well…the mutant stole one of his favorite aliens when he was younger. “I don't know what we’re going to do.” Ben said as he drank his smoothie. “All Azmuth said was that whoever stole the remains knocked out all the guards…this isn't good." He said. Rook nodded. "And whoever did it the cameras were all messed up, so we do not even know who did it." He took a sip of his smoothie and pondered. "Who would steal Malware's remains?" This left the two in thought…who would steal his remains?  Ben sighed "Maybe we should figure-" POOF In a light purple flash, Ben and Rook instantly disappeared from their spots, drinks left behind. Castle of Friendship Twilight's horn stopped flashing…and nothing happened really, much to her disappointment. "But…I don't get it." She said with solemness. "I could have sworn that the spell would work." Spike went up and placed a comforting claw on her arm. "Maybe you should try again later. I mean you have been trying other spells today." Twilight looked over at him and smiled. "Yeah, I guess you're right-” POOF A bright purple flash had spawned in the first area and Ben and Rook both popped right out of it. When the light vanished, the two heroes had to take a moment or two to realize the situation they were just in.  “Uh…Rook?” Ben said. “Yes, Ben.” “Weren’t we just at Mr. Smoothies just now?” “Yea, but where-” but when Rook saw Ben his eyes widened and gasped in shock.  Ben looked at him with confusion. “Rook? What's goi-'' But then he felt a bit weird. “Woah, what's going on? And why do my hands feel…like I have no fingers?” He asked. “Ben….look at your hands…or where your hands should be.” Rook said, trying to remain calm as possible. Ben raised an eyebrow and raised up his arms to see something that spooked him. His hands were not there anymore…instead in his hands there were…hooves! He then went right over to a mirror (it was a tad bit hard due to him being on all fours) He then saw his reflection. His whole body was turned into that of a pony stallion with green fur, his hair turning into a mane and he had a tail that was the same color. His shirt was still on him but no pants, and he still had the Omnitirx on his left wrist. At the sight of his appearance, he was shocked. “GAHHH OH MY GOD I’VE BEEN TURNED INTO A HORSE!” Ok…so maybe the term shocked was an understatement. But Ben was very shocked at this transformation..but wait…was the Omnitrix activated? Ben used his right hoof to press the Omnitrix, and it activated just like that. So that means that the Omnitirx didn't transform him…he was transformed of his own accord. “Ok, Ben?” rook asked the bewildered teen. “Let's just remain calm, ok.” He said. “Freaking out about this won't help.” Ben looked at him as if he was crazy. “Are you nuts?” Ben said to him. “I’ve been turned into some sort of horse! And we have no idea where we are!” He said as he then activated his Omnitrix to get in contact with someone. “Rook, get your badge and see if you can contact someone.”  Rook got out his Plumbers badge and tried to contact someone and Ben did the same…and it didn't work at all. “Shoot, it’s not working…” He said as he put his badge away. “Wherever we are, we have no way to contact any of our friends.” As they were talking, Twilight and Spike saw them and were stunned, did it work? But wait..one of these creatures was a pony, and the other one? Just…what was he? "U-uh, excuse me." Twilight said, getting the two's attention. "Uh…hello." She said with a smile. Ben and Rook both looked at her and Spike, at each other and then back at them again. "Uh…hi," Ben said. "Do you know where we are?” And that led to some awkwardness. Twilight, still surprised by the sudden new arrivals in her castle, regained her senses. “R-right, sorry. I’m Twilight Sparkle, my friend Spike.” “Sup,” The young dragon said to them. Ben and Rook looked at him with curious eyes. “And you're in my castle…in Equestria,” Twilight said with a sheepish grin. Ben and Rook looked at her and began to process everything. “Ok, Twilight, Spike, castle, Equestria.” Ben said as Twilight nodded. “Wait…did you bring us here?” He asked her. Twilight frowned. “I’m sorry, but I didn't mean to, I was trying to pen up a portal that could take me and Spike to the human world and-” “Wait, what do you mean to open a portal?” Rook asked. Ben winded his eyes. "Equestria, I never heard of it befo-wait a minute." He thought. "Are we in another dimension? Becasue this is pretty cool!" He then frowned. "Of course...it would be better if I wasn't a horse..." Twilight looked at them. “So…uh…how much do you guys want to know?” “Everything, please,” Rook said. “We just wish to know why we are here because we are facing a crisis right now.” He said. Twilight then used her horn to bring over some chairs for them to sit on, the sight itself was surprising to them both. Ben immediately thought of Gwen, was this horse a magic user? But he decided to save the question for later. Ben and Rook took their seats and faced Twilight. “Ok, so where to begin…” Twilight said as she sighed. “This place is named Equestria, home to many creatures such as ponies, griffons, yaks, and many others.” She said to them. “And the area we are currently at is known as the Castle of Friendship in Ponyville.” Spike said as he munched on a gem. The sight made Ben and Rook raise eyebrows. Spike saw and smirked. “Never seen a  dragon eat gems before?” He asked. “Wait, dragon?” Ben asked. “You're a dragon?” He asked, with Spike nodding his head a bit nervously as well. Ben then smiled big. “That’s so cool!” He said with excitement. Spike then raises his own eyebrow. “Wait, you think I’m cool?” He was naked. “Duh! I never seen a dragon up close before!” Ben said with a smile. Spike turned to Twilight. “Well, well.” He said smugly. "Well," Ben said. "not a baby dragon at least." He said. When he said that, this made Spike go wide-eyed. "Wait, you met an actual dragon before? Where you're from?" He asked with excitement. Ben nodded. "Yep, it's a bit of a long story that I'll explain to you later though." He said, with Spike being all giddy. Twilight rolled her eyes and turned to Ben and Rook. “Again, I’m so sorry for dragging you both here by accident. Ben sighed. “It's fine, like Rook said, back in our dimension, there is a bit of a crisis going on and we need to get back home as quickly as possible.” He said. “Do you think you can do that spell and send us back?” Twilight then looked to the ground and was a bit sheepish. “Uh…well…here's the problem.” she said as she dragged her left hoof to the ground. “That spell was…well…it only works once a month…so…” “So what you're saying is that we are stuck here then.” Ben said. “Just great….” He said as he then put up his hoof to reveal the Omnitrix. “And I can't even get in contact with the others.” He said. Twilight still continued to look down with a shameful look on her face. “I’m sorry…” She said to him, Ben looked at her. “Hey, it's fine.” “But this crisis you mentioned..” Twilight said. Rook then gave her a gentle nod. “I’m sure our friends will handle the situation when the time calls for it.” He said to her, Twilight looked at them both. “You sure you guys aren't mad at me?” She asked, with the two nodding heads. “Thank you…” She said to them, but then looked confused. "you both seem to be taking this well-being in another dimension of course..." Ben smirked at her. "Well, this isn't the first time I traveled to another dimension before." He said, much to her shock. "Wait, you went to another world too?" She asked, with Ben nodding. "you need to tell me everything!" Spike looked at the Omnitrix with wonder. “Hey, Ben, what's that thing on your wrist?” He asked. Ben looked at the Omnitrix and smiled. “Well, since we’re going to be here for a while…I hope you  two like long stories.” He said to them as they all began to sit down and Ben and Rook began to tell their stories.  BOOM Then the place shook for a bit, spooking the others. “What the hell was that?” Ben asked with surprise. Twilight immediately got off of the chair and turned to the door. “I don't know but I’m going to go check it out.” she said as she then began to run for the door with Spike in toe.  “C'mon, Rook. If we’re here, we might as well help.” He said as Rook agreed and the two began to follow Twilight and Spike out of the castle.
