A petite, pale skinned girl, about nineteen, stumbled out of the portal. She had well-trimmed long purple with a pink strip going through it. She wore long, purple yoga pants that had a pink stripe going through it and a tank-top with various shades of purple. She held her new hand to her head as her mind raced, trying to figure out what all of this is. The last thing she could remember was that she needed to find Neon because Equestria was attacked by alien-like things. Jessica saw the flash of light, and opened one of her eyes. Jessica laid on a black leather couch, resting. Her hands were behind he head, her legs crossed, and one of her feet swinging. She said,
"Yellow? Anyone there?" She pushed herself upwards, taking note of the girl that had just appeared. Jessica rushed over to Twilight, and slowly carried her over to a couch. Twilight mumbled, getting used to her new body. She eventually said,
"Help... need... Neon." Then she passed out, landing on the couch. Her medium-sized chest slowly bobbed up and down, in an almost hypnotic movement. Jessica had no clue what to do. But, becuase of her laziness, she slipped into another nearby couch, and took another nap. After all, Twilight was just sleeping, and she most likley needed it.
To Dylan and Bentley.
I stood there, breathing heavily, in extreme pain. Bentley wasn't off any better. But at least Master Hand exploded and is now laying in a burning pile of glove. I expected the tourney to be over, but of course it wouldn't be that easy. Crazy Hand appeared from behind me, slamming into me. Even with that basic attack, I got launched. My hand just barely made the ledge, with my muscles screaming in pain after being hit so much. I crawled over the edge, to be met with Crazy Hand talking on a cell phone. He made incomprehensible snorts and grunts, then flew upwards, never to be seen again. Must have had somewhere else to be, how convenient. Well, what's going to happen next? I've 'beaten' both bosses. Two of those hearts floated down, one for me and the other Bentley. I trudged over to it and touched it. Bentley did the same, and we both felt rejuvenated. My arms felt energetic again, my legs ready to move, and my brain ready to think. Then a blue humanoid exploded into view. I rolled away, Bentley wasn't so luck. He got hit with a blue fist. He then fell right next to me. The boss, I could recognize. It was Tabuu. This won't be easy.
At Canterlot.
*bang bang bang* Gunshots went off as the ponies battles the endless stream of attack jets coming out from all directions. Dead ponies covered the ground and everything is coated in blood. Celestia saw that they weren't going to win, so she formed a protective bubble around the few remaining ponies left. But this didn't work, the jet's bullets penetrate the bubble like it was paper. Celestia was worn out and tired from fighting, she couldn't last any longer. In a last ditch effort, she abandoned Canterlot and mass teleported all the remaining ponies to Manehatten. Many were injured, the few ones who were strong enough to fight helped out in carrying the injured ones to hospitals. One pegasus, with a bandages left wing, asked Celestia,
"What do we do now?" Celestia lowered and head and said with a hint of dread,
"I'm not sure."
To Dylan.
I readied myself, bouncing lightly on my feet. This will not be easy. I need to find out his patterns, his weaknesses, and his strengths. I held my stance, waiting for him to make the first move. Bentley attacked first, jumping up and kicking him. Tabuu teleported somewhere else on the screen, then he launched an energy chain at Bentley. Bentley managed to shift his weight just enough to dodge it. Tabuu must depend upon players being reckless and uncontrolled. I told Bentley,
"Forget the last plan, think and use controlled movements."
"Noted." Was all he said. Tabuu charged up a beam in his hands, and made an attempt to blast me. The beam shot out in a blue sparkly manner, I dodged at the last second. But the beam was continues, it continued to shoot out and was now following me. I ran the other way, Bentley jumped up and kicked Tabuu while he was distracted. Tabuu flinched, then sent a burst of energy out. I blocked, Bentley was still in the air. He got hit, and slammed into the ground. A small white and black device came out of his pocket. It looked like... a portal gun!? How did that fit in his pocket!? And more importantly, why does he have it!? Bentley looked at the device, then he grabbed it and started shooting portals at Tabuu. That idiot, it doesn't work like that! I told Bentley,
"Give me that!" I snatched the device out of his hand. The plastic felt cold and smooth as I put my hand into it. Tabuu wasn't patient, and dived at me with something sharp in his hands. I popped a portal on the other side of the stage, then shot another next to me. I grabbed Bentley and dragged us both into the portal all before Tabuu hit us. I could use this. Tabuu shot out another blue beam like before, only this time I had an idea. Based on the angle that Tabuu shot the beam at, and the angle that I could alter it with redirecting via portals... that should work. I ironed out the math, and got ready. I had a very small window of opportunity. The beam came at just the right distance, I put two portals down on both sides of the stage. The beam went into the blue one, and came out the orange one, hitting Tabuu in the back. He did a sharp, digital cry. I smirked and said,
"Yeah! How do you like it!" This will be so much easier.
Yet another, *sigh* random intermission. Note: none of these are even remotely cannon. Well, some are. Meh, let's just say this happened a long time ago.
"Come on, Twilight! I can stay home alone for just a few minutes! Please let me stay! I don't want to visit the doctor. He's creepy! His keeps eyeing me like I'm some kind of sandwich!" Spike complained to Twilight as she stood there in her home. She held up a calendar via her magic. The calendar had a box that was circled in red marker. On that box said 'Visit doctor today. Need to check horn.' Twilight rolled her eyes and said,
"Fine, I'll just hire a rent-a-mom." Spike screamed,
"NOOOOOO! Last time you did, I had to do so much homework my fingers had blisters! And don't even get me started about how much she nagged me about not being a doctor!"
At least you have some sort of motherly figure. Maybe I should send a rent-a-mom to Dylan... no wait, he'll fire me. Uh, let's just get back to the story. I don't get paid enough to do this...
"And... NOW!" I yelled at Bentley. We started a synchronized combo, each of us attacking Tabuu. I shot out portals where Bentley needed them, and we did many things at the same time. After a flurry of hits, each one of the Tabuu couldn't dodge because if he dodged one of us, the other would attack. Then, Bentley and I went through an endless portal loop, I put a portal on a wall just above Tabuu on a wall that isn't seen on screen in the game. We went through it at near-sound breaking speeds. Bentley yelled as we flew through the air,
"In layman's terms, speedy things go in," we both did a flying kick on Tabuu, catching him in a surprise attack. He started exploding as we landed on the ground, like a boss. "Speedy things come out." Tabuu quickly disappeared in a rapid chain of explosions. As the wind calmed down, and the crowd cheered, a trophy floated down.
"Not bad." Bentley said. I said,
"Okay, you won the damn tourney, can we go home now?"
"Yeah yeah." I held out the the respawn device, we both put our hands on it, then I slammed down the button. We both teleported back to my living room, to be met with two people sleeping on couches, Jesscia and... I'm not really sure who that is. Wait, the hair, the clothes... T-Twilight?! How did she get the clothes, I wasn't gone long enough for her to get those. I wonder if... I looked on the screen for the MTSC, ran a few tests, and apparently when someone as powerful as Luna went through it, it caused a disruption in the primary power couplings. The ponies now had clothes that matched their personality when they came to Earth. Why didn't I think of that? I went over to the side of the couch, then pushed the back upwards. Twilight rolled off, onto the floor. She awoke in a shock and scrambled to get up. The last thing I wanted was to see another pony turn human. I glared at her as I said,
"Leave this planet. Now." I didn't care why she was here or how she got here, I just want her gone. Twilight said in a calm manner,
"Wait, please listen. Right now Equestria is being split into two, and there's some alien race attacking us with these shiny flying silver things. I, no, all of Equestria, needs you. Please please, help us!" It's not like the ponies have done anything wrong, certainly less than humans have. But still they're ponies, not humans. I have nothing to gain from saving them. No, now I'm just being plain cold. I really could use some humanity, dispite the fact that my emotions never show, and rarely do I ever fell them. Conflict is a fundamental part of human nature, but so is compassion. So is love, hope, hate, anger, sadness, laughter, and countless other things that we all need. Including me. No matter how much I want to deny it, I'm human. And that will never chance. I guess I could at least make an attempt at being nicer. I leaned against a wall, my eyes closed and my brain deep in thought. Everything in the outside world didn't matter to me at that moment. I lost track of my goal, it was suppose to be gather my team, then save Equestria. I must have forgotten about that somewhere while saving my team first. I can't let this go on any longer, I must stop-
"Hello, you still there?" Twilight said, cutting off my thoughts, as she opened my right eyelid.
"I'll help you, and don't interrupt my thoughts. Hey, how are you so used to your body?"
"I've been studying Homo Sapiens ever since I've heard of your kind. The closest thing I could find was a chimpanzee, I know that you're closely related becuase a famous scientist named Chocolate Darwin said that there's eveolution and those species are-"
"Yes yes, I know all about evolution. Now take a breath, you don't need to explain things to me."
"Yes but, still, this feels so strange being like this, being able to flex my fingers. The reproductive cycle was especially interesting. Is it true that there is a large social impact on breeding and that there's no time where females go insane in an attempt to find a mate every year?"
"Uh, I'm not one to study social interactions, but yes, sex is often a lot more than just making a child. And women don't go crazy in finding a male during heat, wait, why am I answering these questions? Whatever, Twilight, you're smart, hold onto that. But right now, there is a world full of ponies that need me. And I'm not abandoning them. I never leave my friends." I felt a small fire burning in my chest. Not an actual fire, but metaphorical. Like some kind of burning passion, a new kind of energy. American spirt maybe? I don't know. I called out,
"Team, assemble!" Cortez came running down stairs, Bentley walked up to me and Jessica rubbed her eyes and stood up. "We all have a mission. A mission to save a race of talking equines. Now, we might not even survive this, we are facing our race. They have better tech, better military tactics, and are much smarter. But you know what they don't have? Spirit, hope, a reason for fighting. We do. I will risk my life to save an entire race from genocide, and I bet all of you are too. I will not just standby and watch the governments of the world forcefuly slaughter ponies. This is for the ponies, for their planet, for their lives, for their happiness, and most importantly, for their right to the pursuit of happiness. When you all became Americans, you all agreed that every living, breathing thing has certain unalienable rights. Well, the humans are taking them away. And it won't even be a challenge, humans have nuclear warheads, ponies have party cannons. This won't be easy. I don't plan for it to be. But I will still try, I will still fight, against all reason, I will protect. It is our duty as humans to do what's right, no matter who's against you, no matter who tries to stop you. It says it in the constitution! We have the power to stop this unjust action, and we will. Now, who's with me?" My team all appeared to be fired up and ready to take on the world. Which they may just have to.
Canterlot.
*Whoosh* Jets flew overhead a now abandoned Canterlot. Tanks have now appeared, with actual humans in them. The tanks were a newer design, they had auto-targeting and were heavily computer controlled. The city was quiet except for the rumble of the tanks and the screeching of the jets. Dead ponies lay around. Canterlot was untouched in terms of destroyed buildings. A few humans in advanced body armor were searching the town, assault weapons at the ready.
