//------------------------------// // Zebra and unicorn // Story: My little Avengers: Loki strikes, again // by Midnight-walker //------------------------------// “And, again… how we get in this?!” yells Tony while he and the avengers were persecuted by a dozen of changelings in the middle of the Everfree Forest. “I don’t know mortal, but we better keep running” responses Thor, flying at his side. “Can’t we just fight against them?” asks Peter trotting at Thor’s side. “No, remember so many fights in all along the week will call the attention of the population beyond the forest” responses T¨challa, trotting agile between tree and tree. And suddenly, our avengers arrive to a dead end in the forest, flanked by a cliff. Trapped and with no escape Tony said: “Now it seems like a good idea fight against them, don’t you think T¨challa?” “No, if any of that creatures survives, it will tell his fellas what he saw, and our situation will get very worse that it is right now” responses T¨challa. “Then I’ll make sure to don’t leave any of that demons alive” said Thor levitating Mjolnir. And just in that moment, a rope descends from the cliff right in Thor’s hoof. “Up here my dear, if catch you don’t want to be” said a mysterious female voice in rhymes from the high of the cliff. “I’ll take that offer if you don’t mind” said T¨challa climbing in the cliff. “Now we are two” said Tony climbing after T¨challa. “I don’t, I can fly” yells Thor flying to the peak. “Tsk, noobs” said Peter climbing the cliff with his spider powers. Now, in the peak… “Why that things doesn’t follow us to this point” asks Peter after arrive with the others. “I guess, it’s because we are out from their territory” said T¨challa looking how the changelings retread from the dead point they was a few moments ago “And, how is the mysterious being that save us from another fight?” “My name is Zecora, don’t maim. And how are the brave travelers, you asker?” responses the zebra that was in front of them. “My name’s T¨challa and we are just explorers from a very distant land”. “how curious answer my fearless traveler; cause I saw in my cauldron: a unicorn with Iron saddlebags, an alicorn with a hammer, an earth pony that can climb walls, and a zebra with the panther spirit that aren’t from this world, will came right now, in this point ” responses Zecora. “Then, if you know that we aren’t from this world you might want some answers about why we are here” said T¨challa, with a deadpan. “That can wait, first you have to eat and a little nap take, because a pause you might want to take” “We’ll accept your offer, because as you said, we have travelled across this forest during one week without any break”… And our heroes (and Zecora) trotted a few miles to a little hunt, almost at the edge of the Everfree Forest. In it: “And… Please tell me, how you live in such a dangerous place like this? I mean, we were at the edge of death like six times like minimum in only one day in here” asks Peter full of curiosity. “That’s because I know this forest better than any eldest. Now, please tell me what knurled history brings you to this world?” responses Zecora starting to reheat some food in her cauldron. “Well, this is going to take a long time, but, we have time for this” whispered Tony taking a seat and tell Zecora, with Thor, all the things that happen in the last week. From the Loki’s banish to the Banner’s disappearance, passing through all the dangers that they passed in the everfree forest. Till they finally finish their history and the food was warm enough for eat. “My armor suit isn’t a problem” said Tony pointing his red iron saddlebags “But we’ll have a real problem if the “Magnificent Thor”, I mean, he’s the less inconspicuous and he could bring some undesirable views from other ponies”. “Why you didn’t said that from the very first” said Thor striking Mjolnir against the hut’s floor, releasing a blinding blast of thunders that turn Thor into a simple earth pony coffee color with chest nut mane “Why the mortals are so complicated, you couldn’t just simply ask me for turn into a more discrete shape, no, you had to keep it for yourself and complain in silence all the day. PLEASE, stop to do that mortal, it’s very annoying even for a god…shess” “Ok, that solve one of our problems” said Peter with a poker face “and now, what’s our new plan?” “Well, I have a belle known in a Ponyville zone if you want to know, but it has to be tomorrow, my fellas” said Zecora finishing her portion. “We really appreciate your help my fellow friend. How can we show our gratefulness” said T¨challa. “Only with time we’ll know” . …………………………………………………….. “GAHHH” yells Twilight Sparkle waking up from a nightmare in her room. “What happens Twi? Zombies, fire, zombies in fire?” yells Spike waking up with Twilight’s shout “It was nothing Spike, just a nightmare… whatever; we have a lot of work to do” responses Twilight using magic for arrange her bed” starting with visit Applejack’s new friend, and write to shining armor” –tok, tok, tok, the door sounds-“ah, how could be at this hour”. And Twilight use her magic as faster as she could for combing her mane and get to the door. And when she opens: “Hey Twi, guess what?” Said Pinkie Pie in Twilight’s front. ”Now what Pinkie?” “My tail, it’s not twitching anymore”. “And that’s everything Pinkie?”. “Well, my spasms already stop” and in that moment, Pinkie punch another elder in their stomach “well, almost. Sorry”. “Pinkie, can you please go and tell your problems to other pony. Please I have a lot of work to do and I have no time for your twitches”. “Oki doki Loki” said Pinkie, and suddenly she disappears banishing in nothingness . “That was weird”-tok, tok, tok-the door rang. And opening the door Twilight yells: “Pinkie stop complaining about your twitches, nopony cares about it. Oh hi Zecora” said Twilight with an awkward smile. “Such a rude pony a have found today, you mustn’t remember your kindness” said Zecora frowning. “Sorry Zecora, what brings you here?” ”It’s not what brings me here; it’s what bring my new fellas here”. “Friends and why they don’t pass here?” “Ok, you can enter my fellas”. And in that moment: a unicorn, two earth ponies and a zebra enter in Twilight’s house. “Can I help you in anything, any book in particular?” asks Twilight with a smile. “Actually…” responses the unicorn with a strange blue light in their chest “can you give us a little privacy here. We don’t want to call attention”. “Ok” said Twilight with a suspicious glance. And using her magic, she closes all the windows and doors in her house “What you want to borrow? Any adult’s book?” “It’s not a book what we want; this will seem a little weird, but… We are not from this lands, not even from this dimension, we are a group of heroes from a parallel dimension where humans are the dominating species and creatures like you doesn’t even exists. World where there’s corruption, gamma radiation, cars, computers, hands with fingers and other stuffs. We are a group of heroes with incredibly abilities that was summoned by a northern deity for bring back a alicorn with childish traumas and diva complex that wants to rule all this universe and take over your princess castle” “Ok… Zecora are you sure your friends doesn’t escape from any madhouse, cause they must be very insane for said such a bunch of nonsense things like that” “Told you she didn’t even believe” said one of the earth ponies to the alicorn. “Well, there’s only one way to show you we are alright. Avengers assemble” And suddenly, the unicorn covers with a red golden armor that comes from his saddlebags, the earth pony with the hammer as a cutie mark hits his baton against the floor and a blast of thunders came from their hammer, giving them a red cape and a coat of mail and helmet; Twilight tries to move back but she finds with a red earth pony hanging from the roof with a web, Twilight tries to get to the door, but the Zebra that a few seconds ago was with Zecora turns into a equine with a panther like suit. “Now you believe us?” asks the Spider pony lowering down from the roof with a web. And suddenly, the Twilight passed down. ……………………………………………….. “aaawwwww” yawned Twilight in her bed” such a strange dream, iron ponies and everything” Twilight look at the clock and surprised to saw the hour. She trotted down the stairs to the kitchen for something for breakfast, and when she enters in the kitchen, she find the avengers taking a cup of tea in the table. “Want some tea?” asks the earth pony with blue and red tights “your lizard pet told us where your favorite tea was” “Spike, spikeeee” yells twilight nervously “where the buck are you?” “How, your lizard?” responses the armored unicorn “he went to get some nervous soothing for you when you wake up. But now is pointless are you sure you don’t want some tea? Seems like you need it” “Ok, as I know in anytime I'm going to wake up from this twisted nightmare, why not take a cup of tea with?” “Tony Stark, but you can call me Iron Pony”. “Peter Parker, Spidey for friends”. “King T’challa, Black panther if you prefer”. “Thor” “Ok” said Twilight while she uses telekinesis for pour a cup of tea for herself “And, when I'm gonna wake up?” “Listen to me well” starts to said T’challa taking off his mask” I know this may be a little hard to believe, but we are real, just like you. If you don’t believe me you can hit the Tony’s armor, touch your hoofs, look at the hour or whatever you want, but believe us, you are not in a dream”. “Ok, I’ll calm down, look at my watch and in this moment are the… ten o’clock. So I'm not in a dream after all-of getting mad-. Now can you please tell me how you get into my house or from where are you all come from and why are here?” And then, the avengers tell -again- how they arrive there. Just like they did with Zecora. “Wow, you really pass through very problems just for arrive here. If I haven’t saw them with my eyes, I could swear that you all are an invention from Pinkie Pie”. “So, you believe us now mortal?” “Is hard to believe, but yes, I believe you now. There’s lots of weird things that happen from a few days ago: the suddenly down in changeling activity, that distant Celestia’s cousin, the Pinkie Pie´s twitches, that new Applejack’s friend ”. “Wait a sec mare. What did you just said about a Celestia’s distant cousin? ” interrupts Thor. “Oh, that? Just a new Royal family cousin that appears and disappears from Canterlot one month ago, but I scarcely know something about it”. “Just for curiosity, that distant cousin has black mane, green eyes and some kind of green magic?” asks T’challa with a sparkle in their eyes. “I don’t know them personally, but I think yes”. “GUYS” stood up Thor hitting the table with his hoofs “We’ve got a problem. If Loki already was in that castle, that probably means he already controls some minds or gather a new army, but, why he haven´t attack yet? ” “Well, as I said before, I don’t believe that Loki who all of you speak too much were trying to get any weapon; it’s just Equestria is such a pacific land and we haven’t any weapons he could use for rule them all” said Twilight while she finish her tea. “Or someone. Twilight, can I borrow some books from your library? , history and myths if you don’t mind” said T’challa grabbing his chin with his hoof. “Ok, I always lend out books for who needs them”. “But, if Loki hasn’t done from itself we shouldn’t go for them in Canterlot?” Asks Peter innocently. “No. First we have to find Banner and plan a strategy. We don’t know with twisted tricks has Loki prepared for us this time, so we better find Banner before Loki uses it against us. Because we all know what happened last time Hulk turns against us by Loki? Yes”. “Please, don’t even remember me about that, Mjolnir still hurts from only think about it” said Thor with a “What is a hulk” asks Twilight innocently. “Is just a green thing that destroys everything whatever is in their way with strong enough for overthrow an entire forest with one punch” said Peter calmly. “You heroes have a lot of strange and dangerous things in your world” said Twilight with a frown. “Thanks mortal” responses Thor with a smirk. …………………………………………………….
