//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: MLP - Divergent Crossover // by abfarmer76 //------------------------------// "Ok, has everypony chose their faction?" I ask. We all finished in our groups and are all standing in a circle again. Everypony nods at the saying of this. "Now, their is something that I found out about our jewelry that I want to share with you, but I think we would all like to know what faction everypony chose". Again, everypony nods. "Ok, I'll go first" I step forward into the middle of the circle and take a deep breath. "The faction that I chose is Erudite and my crown turned into purple glasses for me to wear at all times in Erudite". I step back and motion the pony next to me, Applejack to go to the middle. "The faction that ah chose is Candor and my necklace turned into a smaller necklace that is a back and white apple". She steps back to the rim of the circle as Fluttershy steps out next. "Um... The faction that I chose is Abnegation...um... and my necklace turned into a pink butterfly clip". As Fluttershy stepped back, I noticed that Rainbow had a small frown on her face. Fluttershy was Rainbow's best friend in Dauntless. She will definitely be happy when I tell her about her tattoo. Pinkie hops up into the middle and says, "The faction I chose is Amity! My necklace turned into a blue & yellow charm bracelet!" Pinkie hopped back to the edge just as Rarity walked out. "The faction I chose is Amity and my necklace as well, turned into a beautiful! purple and white charm bracelet!" Rarity said while admiring her charm bracelet the whole walk back to the circle. Next was Rainbow's turn but she said, "You guys already know what faction I chose and what my necklace turned into sooo.. back to Twilight!" Rainbow points one of her hoof toward me and everypony's eyes follow. "Umm.....ok" I start. "It's good that we have somepony going to each faction. It would be better to keep an eye on things, at least that is what I think the Abnegation lady was trying to get at. Um.. now everypony take off your former jewelry and hold it in your hoof" Everypony did just that, except Rarity held it with her magic. "Ok. Now, on your items, their should be a picture of the faction that you choose. That picture is actually a button and when you press it, your necklace will appear again and your item will disappear" I pause to make sure everypony is following me. "Their should also be a picture of some sort. For example, my picture is a 6-pointed magenta star with 5 mini 6-pointed white stars behind it. I think we should tell everybody are 'image'. I feel like we may be seeing them again". Everypony nodded and like last time, Applejack went next and said, "Mah image is 3 red apples pointed in different directions". She stepped back, letting Fluttershy go, "Um, mine is 3 pink butterflies in different directions" Pinkie jumped into the center before Fluttershy could move back, making her jump up to the ceiling, again. Rainbow groaned and flew up to get Fluttershy down while Pinkie spoke. "My image is a yellow balloon with a blue string and 2 blue balloons with yellow strings on either side!" Pinkie hoped back to the edge and Rarity stepped up, still admiring he new bracelet. "Mine is 3 beautiful blue diamonds!" Rarity squealed in delight. As soon as she got back to the rim of the circle, Rainbow flew out to the middle and said, "Mine is a rainbow lightning bolt coming out of a cloud" and zoomed back to the edge. "Ok, now that we know that. I want you to all click that image. It should be a button" I say. Everypony pressed their buttons and as soon as they did, "WOW!" filled the room. "I'm assuming you all heard a voice that says 'Welcome your name' right?" Everypony nodded except Pinkie who said, "No, mine said 'Welcome Pinkie pie' not 'Welcome your name' silly!" Pinkie gained eye rolls from everypony in the room of course, except Fluttershy who wasn't hiding behind her hair anymore. "Anyways, you all see bars on your screens correct?" Everypony nodded. "Two of my bars say 'teleport' and 'chat', the others are blank for some reason, but we can explore that later. I think we should start with chat and go from there. We don't know what could happen so its best to be safe". A nod came from everypony again except Rainbow, who just groaned. "Everypony, click the 'chat' bar. Rarity, you can use your magic to click the bars if you want too". Rarity gave a nod and clicked the bar with the others. "Now you should be a menu with more bars that have everypony's name on them. Correct?" Again, a nod came from everypony. "The faction symbol that is right next to their name is what faction they chose and the faction symbol at the end of the bar is what faction they are standing in at that moment. The number is how far away they are". Everypony nodded again. I turned to Pinkie, "Pinkie?" "Yes?" She responded with a smile. don't understand how she is abnegation. "Can you go stand over their at the other end of the room?" "Oki doki loki!" Pinkie jumped her way over to the end of the room. "I am going to try to chat with you through the chat button, Ok?" "Ok!" With my magic, I pressed Pinkie's bar with my magic, but two more bars popped up. One said 'face chat' and another said 'text'. I click face chat, curious to what it was. I waited a little bit until Pinkie's face popped up on my screen. "Gahh!" I screamed and jumped back. "Why are you scared Twilight? It's only me! Pinkie!" I heard Pinkie say through the chat and in real life. "I think the face chat works better when we are farther apart from each other. It's gets confusing when I can hear you through the chat and in real life." "Hey Twilight!" Rainbow said as her face appeared on my screen along with everypony else. "Pinkie! What did you do?" I yelled to Pinkie. "I added everypony into the call!" Pinkie smiled. "Well can you turn it off? It's hurting my ears and head" I replied in a much softer tone now. "You know Twilight, you can just leave the call if you don't want to be in it" Pinkie replied. "And how exactly do I do that?" I reply. "Oh silly, you just press the big red 'x' in the corner!" Pinkie smiles as she replied. I look up to the corners and sure enough, there is a big red x. I click it and everypony's head disappears and I return to the chat menu. I click the magenta star again and my glasses turn off. 'Goodbye' the voice said. "Girls?" Everypony turned their head toward me. "We should only use these 'abilities' in private until further notice. We'll have to figure out some things along the way about these elements. Nopony should know about this or what happened here tonight. If you found something out then 'text' me. Only face chat after you have texted that pony to make sure its ok. We don't know what the other person might be doing. It is also best that we only chat at night and in secret. We don't know who could be watching so that means stay away from security cameras" Everypony nodded except for Rainbow. "I don't think that anypony here should text me during the day or night without me texting them first. I have heard rumors that during Dauntless training, they get you up in the middle of the night and make you play a game or something" Rainbow said firmly. "Why RD? Are you afraid?" Applejack teased. "NO! I've just heard stories about people disappearing or dying without saying a word and pony's have traced them back to their text scores being manually entered!" Rainbow yelled. "So you are afraid" Applejack said under her breath, but just loud enough for Rainbow to hear. "Ok, Applejack. Be my guest and go to Dauntless, get discovered and get killed! Dauntless is the hardest faction to get into and I am NOT GOING TO FAIL INDENTATION JUST BECAUSE I'M THE STUPID ELEMENT OF LOYALTY!!!" Rainbow yelled at the top of her lungs. Clearly she was angry. Note to self: Never upset a Dauntless. "ENOUGH!!!" I turn to see Fluttershy flying in the air right above us, coming down to the ground and walking toward Rainbow and Applejack. "Why are you guys fighting!!!?" Fluttershy said, now at a calmer tone. "You guys are friends, there is no reason to fight!" Both Rainbow and Applejack hung their heads in shame. I just stared in aw. I didn't realize how brave Fluttershy was, or how loud she could be. Clearly everypony else was amazed by this because their jaws were on the ground. After a few minutes of silence I say, "I think we should explore these items a little bit more before we go to bed. It's probably best that we learn how they work now so we don't mess something up in the future. Oh and I'll restore the magic shield again, it seems to be breaking after the screaming" "You just want to play with your glasses don't ya Twi?" Applejack said with a sneer on her face. "Very much yes!" I said in delight while taking off my glasses and pressing random buttons. I think I gained some eye rolls from that but I don't care. As we explored our 'items', we found 2 new bars pop up. One was a scanner. Apparently, the scanner will tell you what their amplitude results are. It will also tell you if somepony is Divergent. The other one that we found was called 'camouflage'. It will change you into another factions clothes along with changing your item into that factions thing. Pinkie had a lot of fun with that. Once we all get into bed, I have trouble sleeping. What would happen now that I know that I'm the Element of Magic? What would happen if I get caught? Would they kill me like Rainbow said? Now that I think about it, Rainbow may be right. I have noticed some people form Erudite disappear. I'll have to tell the others in the morning, but right now I need to get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
