Chapter 1 : Reunion A.K.A "Twilight: Breaking Dawn"

Chapter 1
-------------------------

Location: The Golden Oaks Library
Time: The Next Day

Twilight Sparkle is the one and only Librarian that works here at the Golden Oaks with her only assistant being her best friend, and slave, Spike the Dragon.
Her job is to manage the income and borrowing of books here and Spike is responsible for cleaning up after her as she decides not to do any cleaning.
She is a lavender unicorn with a lavender striped mane and tail; her cutie mark is of a pinkish 6 point star with 5 smaller white stars surrounding it, this signifies that her talent is magic.

In her eyes; today is special. It is the day which she receives a new personal spell book from her old mentor and princess, Celestia. She has received word that this book is a summoning tome created by the king himself and that her mentor wants her to cast a creature into existence. She is currently tidying up the place and re shelving the books as the princess is delivering this book herself for a reason unknown to either her or Spike.

30 mins later

A flash of light startles the young Twilight and she jumps upwards then clings to the ceiling as if she is a frightened cat. Spike goes to fetch a broom to pry her off but their guest does the honour and uses her magic to upright her former student and face her towards her.

"Twilight Sparkle, greetings; how are you doing today?" The princess asks.
"Ah, princess" Twilight bows "sorry for the mess; I was doing pretty good until you decided to teleport here and scared me"
Celestia looks around and sees that the place is spotless; "Its okay Twilight, this delivery had to be taken personally by me for fears of it falling in the wrong hooves; this book is the most powerful that I've ever collected in my time, and I believe that its time for you have it. I take it that what I want you to do is in my letter?" She asked.
"Yes it is! And I'm proud to say that I wont let you down, I will summon something and I will introduce it to Equestria!" Twilight exclaimed in joy.
"Good, sorry that I cannot stay for tea; But I have a meeting with the Draconian King in the next 25 minutes" the princess said in the happiest tone she could muster, she had always hated "King Paarthunaxx" and his peace preferring race. She misses the days where she would spar with her good friend Alduin back when he ruled.
The princess teleported away, leaving a surprised unicorn behind her.

Twilight was sad at this but also very eager to please her princess. She let her go so she could get to work on that book as soon as possible...
Her stomach growls with ferocity; having skipped breakfast to prepare for Princess Celestia.
"I'll just go prepare a brunch then." Spike said quickly because he had no breakfast too.


20 more mins later

Spike has gone to help Rarity collect new jewels and he wont be back for a couple of hours; Twilight seized this opportunity to finally do what Celestia has asked and form the spell to summon the creature. She has gone through the spell several times; checking it and re checking it once more. She did not want to mess with this book.
Twilights setting down the book finally and she's chanting the books phrase.

"Tainted Gods, hear my call; Bring the warriors liked by all,
Praise the Sun ; the purest one,
Hail the Moon ; the cured doom,
Two separate sides ; Both with good tides.
Tainted Gods, hear my call; Bring the warriors liked by all,
Praise the Sun ; the purest one,
Hail the Moon ; the cured doom,
Two separate sides ; Both with good tides..."

A portal has appeared by now and its now fluctuating between a white and a purple light. It is now raising up and a black metallic claw is appearing to drag itself through.
Twilight is not caring at this moment and is trying to say the chant until the being gets through; otherwise it will be stuck in the void forever.
The being has fallen onto the floor, possibly unconscious, but the portal has not closed yet. Twilight has stopped chanting by now and is staring at the portal in confusion; the portal now appears as a stable white hole. Something else is trying to get through, something lighter, something calmer, something that is now also unconscious... great...

She has now approached the bodies; thinking about where she went wrong. Twilight takes close look at the supposed heroes, but there was supposed to be one? right?
Looking at them; she can tell that one is clad in dark, worn robes and has a mask that looks like its made of some kind of black metal. This one also has claws and boots of the same metal, but a lot more jagged and scary looking. Around its waist lies a strange dagger and resting in his right claw is a rather large stick, which could be a staff by the amount of energy resonating off it.
The other being is a bit more modern, wearing a full helmet with bug eye lenses, some kind of flexible armour and a long coat over it.
the most interesting thing about this one is that you could see fur less, smooth peach claws; rounded off on the end. On its left wrist appears to be some flickering light and it beeps erratically whenever she gets too close to the gadget. Its other claw has its grip on a long metal cylinder, with a wooden back end. If she were to guess. It may be some sort of rifle; like the designs that were never approved by the Nations.

The modern one is stirring and Twilight is backing away slowly. It finally sits up and looks at its surroundings; noticing her, shrugging and then looking around some more. It then looks towards the other creature, The modern one then proceeds to poke the dark one in the ribs. Repeatedly...
The dark one then thrashes and mumbles "Go away, sleepy." just loud enough so she and the modern one could hear it. She did not expect it to speak and by judging by its voice; its a male. She then guesses that the other is also male as its build is similar to its sleepy dark counterpart.
"There are waffles~" the modern one said in a sing-song voice, Twilight did not understand what he meant by that but the next part was most interesting.
"Come to the dark-side, we have cookies" the dark one mumbled. Twilight then smirks as she noticed the interaction is brotherly. Plus the meme.
"Just get up... there's a pony there" Modern bluntly said. she is paralysed in fear now, he knows she is here and she does not know his intentions.
"Pony!?" Dark fully wakes up now and looks around excitedly. Only to set his sights on Twilight. "Heh, different world, different equines." "Can you talk? I'm pretty sure that the locals can talk. Yes?"
"Uh yes, I can talk... My name is Twilight Sparkle. Who and what are you two?" Twilight asked.

The Modern one spoke first. "My name is just simply Jacob. my title is 'The Messiah of the Wasteland' and I am really lucky in the day. That is really all you need to know."
The Dark one spoke next, "I am Aaron, I am the 'Archmage of the College of Winterhold' and a 'Nightingale'. My skill in the arcane arts is greater than Archmage Shalidor himself."
Twilight was happy now that she knew their names and a little about them, she relaxed a bit at this and asked if they knew each other...
Jacob and Aaron looked at each other in thought until they both finally recognised one another. "Holy carp... its been a long time Aaron" Jacob finally said.
Aaron then replied "Yes, yes it has been."


Twilight led them both to a nearby couch and the humans sat down. She then said that she just needed to go get something; she returned with a long scroll and quill in hoof, the dreaded Q&A session begins...

"So, Aaron; Where do you come from?" Twilight asked.
"Just to say, we both hail from Earth. But our foolishness had nearly costed us our lives" Aaron answered.
"Then; What happened?" Twilight then asked.
Jacob answered this time, "This idiot managed to come up with a way to 'further science' as he put it by designing the first ever teleportation pad. The bread tests were, uh, unsuccessful but the self-testing worked; he managed to teleport through to outside the warehouse grounds. About a month later, past defending ourselves against Empress Wholegrain's mighty onslaught of grilled cheese centurions, we decided that its time to test long range teleportation. long story short; it malfunctioned and we got separated through to other dimensions. Which most likely explains why we never saw each other in the worlds we were in."
"Errr. Where did you guys end up?" Twilight cautiously asked.
"I ended up on a planet called Nirn. I woke up heading to my own execution in the province of Skyrim" Aaron said in a casual tone.
Twilight paled.
"I found myself gaining consciousness in our home world, but a nuclear version of it. I found myself bound and gagged. Then I got shot through the brain by a 9mm. I survived, like I always do" Jacob said in a self-praising tone.
Twilight paled even more... She was beginning to have doubts on if she should have casted that spell. But then the Princess would be disappointed and then she would fail, and that is worse then the pasts that these two have.
"Miss Sparkle; are you feeling okay? You look a little pale." Aaron Asked.
"I-I'm fine... just fine. M-maybe we should c-continue this another time. I-I have room here if you two w-want to stay for the n-night." Twilight replied with a stutter.
"Okay, is there anyone we should be wary of on our stay here?" Jacob inquired.
"J-just my baby dragon; Spike... But he should not bother you two that much..." Twilight said, "I-if you two would make yourselves at home; I have a few p-ponies I have to get, a-and a report to send." Twilight then rushed out the door to fetch her friends and to get spike to send her findings to Princess Celestia.

There was a silence for a few moments after her retreat, Jacob broke said silence.

"So, do you think we broke her?" Jacob asked his dark counterpart.
"Most definitely, We really need a title for this sort of thing." Aaron replied.
"We just need a vampire; then I'd have the perfect title for this." Jacob said; while rubbing the bottom of his helmet.
"Lets hear it anyways!" Aaron said in obvious anticipation.
Jacob then opened his arms up as if he had a brilliant idea. "Twilight: Breaking Dawn!"
"Perfect!" Aaron exclaimed, "wait a second; she never told us where our room is."
"Welp. Seems like we just have to wait." Jacob said in faux sadness then he switched his tone. "Or; We can go search for the guest room ourselves!" he then sped off to Loki knows where.
"Fun..." Aaron said sadly. "I'll just wait for Miss Sparkle and her pony friends."
