Chapter 3

Shade stretched his body he sat in his old house...........in Twilights house staring at the different areas remembering the times he spent with his two sisters and his parents. Sighing he rubbed his eyes tiredly turning he saw Spike staring at him with an angry look "What ?"

"I don't like you." Spike said crossing his arms he was 16 in this world so it was odd for Shade to be looking down on someone who resembles his uncle "Why would that be its not my fault i was thrown into this world six days ago."

"Pffft whatever you have my sister freaking out worrying how her colt friend will think of her and we know next to nothing about you !"

"Well 1 YOU know next to nothing about me i showed the three princesses and the elements ALL of my memories 2 I really don't care about something like Twilight dating and if the dude breaks of because some guy from a totally dimension crashes into the world......that would be a first.......and 3 I DONT CARE WHAT YOU THINK." Shade growled the last part standing up to his full height causing the young drake to back up out of fear and leave the room. Sighing Shade sat back down and began to think what his friends and family were doing ".............Where.........................MY SON !" snapping his head up Shade reached out to his communicator one of the few things he got to keep from his world placing it in his ear he said "Mom?"

"SHADE..........ALIVE ?"

"Yes I am your breaking up !" Shade said standing up using his magic he tried to boost the signal how this was working he couldn't figure it out and he really didn't care "Shade can you hear me ?"

"Yes i boosted the signal but i don't know for how long !"

"Where are you honey ?"

"...............Mom where are you ?"

"At the mission sight its just a crater there is nothing left." placing his hand over his mouth Shade felt tears roll down his cheeks "Mom is there anything there at all ?"

"Besides a odd energy signal no..........now where are you ?"

"Mom i had 1337 luck and was thrown into a alternate dimension..........I'm home."

"Honey please tell me your joking." Shade heard his mother cry her voice began to crack gulping Shade took a deep breathe "No ma'am i'm afraid not i don't know how or why but...............i'm sorry and i love you."

"Shade don't your dare say goodbye we can bring you back m-"

"MOM STOP...............JUST STOP you can't do this just let it go i'm gone."

"Shade...........i-i-i-i-i-i c-c-can't lose-"

"Mom whats wrong" Shade heard in the background from his guess it was his youngest sister Maria "I-i-i-its your brother." Shade heard his mother say he heard rustling then his sisters crystal like voice "Shade what did you say to mom she's breaking down Solar is carrying her back !"

"Maria i'm sorry i'm so sorry but i'm not coming home."

"W-what your joking is this about last year cause i-"

"No its not Maria your a good soldier and a great spartan i love you all so i have a order for you watch mom and don't leave her side."

"Shade your making this sound like your going to die where are you maybe-"

"You can't the nuke and slipspace engine sent me to another dimension entirely so unless your 100% sure you can recreate the same thing that happened to pull me back."

"No even Halsey couldn't do something like that."

"Look i love you Maria please follow my order, and tell everybody i'm sorry and i love them all."

"Okay.................i................you Shade !"

"My times up your breaking up Spartan Shade over and out."

"..........................................." sighing Shade took the COM out of his ear looking down he crushed it in his palm standing up he tossed the pieces into the trash walking upstairs he went to the room he was given and went to bed.


(Maria and family)

"What do you mean Maria ?" Solar asked as she set their mother down on her bed in her cabin turning she saw Maria had tears going down her cheeks "Shade is gone sis he said that he was in some other dimension ." Solar looked down at the ground feeling tears well up in her eyes thats when she felt a hand on her looking up she saw her sister a pale grey earth pony with bright purple hair and deep grey eyes looking up at her "He said to tell everybody he was sorry and that he loves us."

At those words Solar fell to her knees sobbing at the news of losing her younger brother cupping her face in her hands she wailed into them while Maria held her close talking to her softly.

(Shade)

Opening his eyes Shade stared at the ceiling his eyes blood shot from the tears that seemed to keep coming no matter what swinging his legs off the bed he stood up. looking outside he smiled "This is a sad time in my life.......but at least I'm alive to experience this world." walking down stairs he saw Twilight standing by the door looking up from her phone she said "Oh i was about to come get you Pinkie-"

"Wants me to 'help' out at the store right ?"

"Yeah how did you know ?"

"If your remember my dimension has a Pinkie to."

"Oh right." Twilight said blushing at her mistake chuckling Shade opened the door allowing Twilight to walk through it then he followed behind her looking down at her he said "So what did you and the princesses decide to do with me ?"

"Well you seem harmless...........even if your past says other wise."

"Hahahaha yeah but don't worry i'm not some crazy person going around attacking ponies."

"Person ?"

"Huh oh yeah its what humans use to describe well a human."

"ahhhhhh yes like the one the other me is married to."

"Yep...........look i'm not going to try and treat you like my mom and i won't make that mistake and i won't get in your life anymore than i already am."

"Thats not what-"

"Spike is still growing up i can tell from his attitude........does he still have a crush on Rarity ?"

"Huh yeah how did you know ?"

"Same in my world except now he is married to Sapphire Shores ?"

"The singer !?"

"She's a singer here ?"

"Yeah what is she in your world ?"

"Bar owner."

"Oh wow how did they ?"

"Drinking Rarity broke the news and he took it harder than needed went to the bar was going to drink saw that she was taking shit from stallion and guy he beat the shit out of them."

"Did you meet her ?"

"Yeah they married when i was four i met her when she and him watch me at one."

"wow three-"

"Oh no they dated for five years before Spike asked her apparently he wanted to ask her at three but couldn't.............what did he say oh yeah ' I need to find a gym that matches her beauty and it needs to be the right color to match her personality.' "

"Wow that sounds like Spike..........we're here." Twilight said turning to Shade she smiled at him "You ready ?"

"Yeah time i was introduced to this world."


(30 minutes)

Shade was sitting and talking with multiple mares that found him interesting smiling he used some of the lines Greg taught him her earned giggles and laughs from them one of the mares reached over and rubbed his forearm. Looking up Shade saw two stallions walk up glaring him down growling the one on the right a huge earth pony that was a light tan color said "So you think you so big ?"

"Um who are you guys ?"

"My names Brick."

"Mah name is Boulder." the dark gray one said looking down at Shade the mares had moved behind Shade looking at the two stallions with a mix of fear and disgust leaning in a light blue pegasus whispered quietly so the two couldn't hear "Me and my friends have been stalked by these guys for a while could you help.......and sorry "

"Its all right." Shade whispered kissing her on the cheek catching her off guard and making the mares jealous and stallions angry slamming a fist into the table Brick snarled "Hey get you're hands off her !!!"

"Why ?"

"Cause she is mine !"

"A little possessive don't you think bricky my friend ?" Shade said pushing the mare back Brick swung catching him in the jaw falling out of his seat Shade rolled back to his feet watching as Brick and Boulder circled him smiling he got low in a fighting stance. Brick rushed the Shade trying to tackle him rolling under him Shade twisted kicking him in the gut causing said stallion to fly into the ceiling then fall back to the ground growning in pain. Standing up shade cracked his knuckles looking at Boulder he smiled at him motioning for the stallion to bring it. turning he ran out of the building leaving a trail of dust behind him sighting the turned to the party and said "Sorry bout that so can somepony call 911 ?"
