//------------------------------// // Six: Two Luna-tics arrivals // Story: Rising Sun // by New Dawn //------------------------------// (Somewhere in a different Equestria) Out in the Everfree that morning, only three creatures could be seen actually enjoying that day in the creepy forest. One small unicorn, and two wolves. “Hurry up slowpokes!” Sweetie belle giggled as she ran ahead. “One second! There’s something over here!” Amaterasu yelled as she noticed something hanging from a tree branch. “What is it?” The unicorn asked, running back. “Who cares.” Chibiterasu moaned, flopping on the ground. Hanging from a tree branch was a keychain. Only this one emitted a strange magical pulse. “Is it another token?” Amaterasu asked. “If it is… Hey! Weren’t you just telling me that the princess gave you a lecture on that?!” Sweetie belle shouted. “Weeelll…” “Again, WHO CARES?!” Chibi yelled. “Shut it.” “It sure is pretty…” Sweetie mutters, tapping it with her hoof. In an instant it started to glow a bright white, opening a portal. Out of the portal was a human clad in black armor, with pale yellow hair that matched her eyes, and jet black and red sword. Next to her was an anthro version of Princess Luna who was wearing a blue long sleeve shirt with black and white stripes, and blue jeans. “Um…...hi.” Said Saber giving them a awkward smile which showed off her sharp jagged teeth. “Well. Didn’t expect that was a token.” The smaller wolf laughed. “MONSTER!” Sweetie squealed, running as fast as she could away from there. “Goddamnit.” Amaterasu sighed.  “Hey! Don’t call my servant a monster.” Said Luna hugging her servant in defense. “I think she was talking about you!” Chibi laughed again. “I said shut it! Go get Sweetie would ya?” Amaterasu scolded. “Fiiine.” He moaned, getting up and walking out. “Anyways, Who exactly are you two?” Amaterasu addressed. “I am Princess Luna and this is my servant Saber.” Luna said as Saber waved to Amaterasu. “Care to tell us who you are fluffy?” “If you want fluffy, Talk to the wolf who just ran off. Anyways, My name is Amaterasu, I guess second sun.. goddess. Well, Second to our Celestia. I see you’re no stranger to Displaced.” “We met a few of them, so far they been pretty nice towards us. Though the stories they told us about how some of them got turn to stone due to their appearance…...well we just pretty much smack their worlds princesses in the face.” “Huh. Try being asleep for around a thousand years. Anyways, We didn’t mean to summon you, It was just Sweetie Belle getting curious. You can leave or what-” A snarl soon hit the air as a rock flew through the air. “SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT CRAGADILE INCOMING!” chibi shouted, running past. Amaterasu sighed. “What did you do this time?!” “Hey! Shut up and get some scales with that magic sword you got!” “Allow us to deal with that, Saber if you would?” “Yes Master.” Saber said as she charged at the beast, like a bullet being fired out of a gun. “So care to tell me what’s a cragadile?” Asked Luna. “Think an crocodile on steroids, then basically glue rocks all over it’s body and you’ll almost got a Cragadile.” Amaterasu explained. “Interesting….Saber! Kill then take the body with us when we leave!” Luna ordered as Saber dodge the Cragadile’s attack. “Wait till Celestia see what I got on my visit through the multiverse.” “Ok… I think I’m more afraid of your universe than the last one we went to.” Amaterasu stated. “Hey our world is not dangerous, though you want to be careful of Derpy for the moment.” “Derpy? Why Derpy?” “Little bit of advice, don’t let Nightmare Moon wander off after she get’s her wisdom teeth removed. Cause if she does, you’ll end up having a Derpy who can control muffin base foods.” “That doesn’t sound terrifying. It sounds amazing!” Chibi shouted. “Prepare to be surprise if you end up being chased by giant muffins that want to eat you.” “Not so amazing.” “Saber hurry up and kill that thing already!” “On it!” Saber knocked the beast off guard as she pushed herself back from it. As she did prana energy started to burst from her sword. “Now die! Excalibur!”  Saber unleashed her noble phantasm upon the most, sending a wave of crimson black & red prana energy through the beast and past Canterlot. “Oops….I think I might have overdone it that time.” “Why do I feel like this is going to end up with me getting lectured again…” Ammy sighed “Well…..at least it didn’t hit anything in Cant-.” Just as she said that, the blast hit the side of Celestia’s room. Not to much for it to be damage, but enough to get notice by certain ponies. “Oh it’s high school all over again for me.” “Goddamnit… I so hope Celly didn’t-” “AMATERASUUUUUUU!” “.... Nope, I just can’t deal with her today!” “Don’t worry I’ll handle this.” Said Luna calling Saber to her side. “I mean how bad can it be?” “... I’ll go get the sponge…” Chibi sighed. “Wait what?” “Our Celestia tends to ramble on when lecturing someone… I needed something for earplugs. If I was gonna get lectured…” Amaterasu explained. “Huh, reminds me of how my parents lecture me when I accidentally turn the moon into cheese that one time.” “Here she comes.” Saber said pointing at the pissed of Alicorn landing towards them. “It wasn’t my fault this time!” Amaterasu instantly shouted as the Alicorn landed. “It was so totally your fault.”  Chibi egged on from the corner. “You’re not helping!!!” “Hey! If anything we’re the ones that saved those three from a that cragadile thing.” Luna proudly said. “I sent those two out here to collect scales for my previous student.The have their methods.” Celestia calmly said. “That’s what I kinda was trying to explain?” Amaterasu nervously smiled. “Then why didn’t you do it yourself then Celestia?” Saber asked. “Luna was… Er…” Her face grew a quick shade of crimson. “Oh dear god, Here we go again....” Chibi sighed. “What?” “She made me…” She coughed. “Work thy royal flank to the gym.”she said in an impression of Luna. She lowered her head. “......You know if my sister was here she would be laughing her flank, mostly because after getting a good look at you she could tell that you need to lose some weight.” Said Luna giggling a bit from the thought of it. “I did not need to hear that impression again.” Chibi sighed. “Speaking of where is this world’s Luna?” (Somewhere in Canterlot Castle) “I do hope Tia doesn’t mind that I’m putting her on a diet.” Luna mutters, using her magic to throw her sister’s cake stash into a dumpster. (Back to the everfree) “I think she was heading back to the- Wait, Why are we idly chit-chatting!?” “Cause it’s fun, plus your dork.” Luna answered while playing with a handheld video game. “Actually you are kinda-” “Be quiet.” “Does everyone hate me?!” “Luna and I don’t hate you.” Saber Answered. “If you were in our world, then you wouldn’t have to deal with up tight ponies like Celestia over there.” “Meh. I’m fine here.” “Suit yourself.” Luna said as she pulled magically summoned a bottle of wine in front of herself. “What? I’m on vacation for the next 1,000 years or so, don’t judge me.” “... Amaterasu? Are you sure you didn’t summon these ones? I already gave you a lecture about the other two that arrived here!” Celestia started yelling. “Oh god, now she’s gonna go on and on…” Ammy complained. “Hey lay off her will you?” Luna said after taking a sip from her drink. “You should be getting used to seeing weird stuff like this happening. Hell if my sister was ok with have displaced humans come by our world, then you should be used to seeing stuff like this. Or do I need to tell Ammy here about certain embarrassing things about you sister?” “W-we’re T-two different ponies, Me and Y-your celestia! W-what could you possibly k-know about me?!” “You got dirt on Celly? TELL ME NOW!” Amaterasu begged. “Honey I’m reading her mind right now as we speak, and so far her my sister are almost the same. Like this one time with your Celestia got drunk with one nobles from the Kirin nation son-”.” “That’s enough! That was only one time!” Celestia’s face turned near blood red. “Yeah just like the time when you sleep with Chrysalis as well right?” “I-I-” Without saying another word, Celestia flew off, her mane practically on fire. “You can’t run away from your mistake Celestia! I know everything about you!” “I’m getting the feeling that your Luna’s not gonna be happy about this.” Said Saber. “Meh. If you really want to meet her, I know just the thing to piss her off.” Amaterasu joked. Luna turn her attention toward Amaterasu after hearing that. “Oh please do!” “Alright. Prepare for Pissy Lulu.” Amaterasu muttered. Focusing her magic power, A ink line in the shape of a crescent suddenly was drawn in the sky. It burst away, turning the sky dark and changing the sun into the moon. “Three… Two… One.” “AMAATERASUUU!” A different voice yelled. For one, it was much louder. With a pop an angry princess luna was standing in front of the group. “I’ve told you one too many times the Nig- Who are these ponies?” “I am you from the distant future! We must stop the angel of chaos before they destroy Equestria!” Luna said in a dramatic fashion. A single cricket chirped in the background. “Oh screw you all I thought it was funny.” She said as she took another drink from her special wine bottle. “Anyway all jokes aside I’m an alternate universe version of you Moonpie.” “... Is this another one of those… Er…” “Moonpie” Muttered. “Yes, Luna these are more Displaced.” Chibi said. “Take a guess which of us is the displaced.” Luna said as her servant stood next to her. “Erm… Whoever… Isn’t me?” She questioned. “Correct!.....Hold a second.” Luna bent down and reached into her shadow, she then pulled out an anthro version of nightmare moon wearing a steampunk outfit with glasses on. “I thought you said that moonshine we made was suppose to strong, so far I’m not buzzed off my flank at the moment.” “Could be that your body build up an immunity towards it.” Nightmare Moon answered. “Ok. I have no idea what’s weirder, Seeing Nightmare moon come from… you/me or that other time with those two displaced.” P. Luna stated. “Prepare to a lot of weird stuff like this.” Saber said as Luna hugged Saber. “At least you deal with her sister at times.” “That remind me, Celly needs to be back at the gym now.” Luna stated normally. “Yeah good luck with that, after what I did to her she’ll be hiding in her room from the next few hours or so.” Luna said as she was laughing. “Man she had a lot a secret stuff she been keeping from you Luna.” “I bet. Well, I’d better pull her out from under her bed.” With a pop, Lulu vanished. “Darn, wanted to tell her that she had another secret stash of cakes hidden underneath Twilight’s home.” Luna shrugged. “Oh well her loss.” “Really? She does?” Ammy asked. Luna magically summoned a book right in front of Ammy. “Here’s a book with both your worlds Luna & Celestia secrets, both weird and funny as hell secrets to use on them if they give you any trouble.” “Wow. Cool. I now feel like giving you something in exchange.” She muttered. “Hm….I might have someone that you might want to teach some of you spells you have.” Luna pulled out a talisman, and summoned a girl with fox ears from out of thin air. “When there’s no more room in hell, I Tamamo-Na-Mae shall rise a-.” Caster paused as she looked around to see Luna, Saber, Sweetie Belle, and two adorable wolves. “Of the hell, what the hell?” “Ok… Yeah…. Who is this?” “Introducing Caster aka the original Amaterasu of the japanese folk tales. Basically She’s kinda like you just with more tricks up her bunny hoodie sleeves.” Saber said. Caster focus her attention towards the the two wolfs. “Hello!” “S’up?” “When did she get here?” Chibi muttered. “Shut up.” “You’re mean.” “To answer your question little one…...magic.” Caster said as she patted Chibi on the head. “And for the record I’m the original Amaterasu of the killing stone, so that makes me older than you two.” “Yeah but not the brightest.” Muttered Saber. “Uh… Are you sure She’s… erm.. Bright enough to learn the brush skills I know?” Ammy said privately to Luna. “Just because she’s not the brightest, doesn’t mean she’s that stupid to know how to use a brush. Hell she able to do that with her talisman she has on her.” “A-alright then…” “Yay I get to learn more spells than the one’s I have now. This will be useful when using my noble phantasm.” “ I know quite a few… Uhhh… I’ve never actually taught anyone… this kind of stuff.”          “It shouldn’t be that hard. I mean all you have to do is show her how to do it, and she’ll be able to do it.” “Alright. I’ll make no promises I can do this however.” “Oh don’t worry, I’m a faster learner.” Said Caster hugging chibi like a plushy. “AAAnndd there’s the hugging!” “How can I not hug him, he’s so adorable just like Sweetie Belle.” She said as her tail was holding onto Sweetie Belle. “Well… That’s one mystery solved.” Chibi muttered. “Caster you can’t keep them.” Said Saber. “Aw! You can’t let me have this can’t you?” “Mostly because they belong here.” “Will you exchange them for a token?” Ammy bargained. “What kind of token?” Caster asked. “I think I might have it - Wait, Sweetie, Give Caster the token I told you to.. keep safe.” Reaching into her mane, Sweetie pulled out a small photo. “That’s it.” “A photo?” “It’s a weird thing but me and Chibi got sent to another Displaced’s world by that and… I really don’t want to remember that adventure..” “Fair enough.” She said letting go of Chibi & Sweetie Belle. “Just a fair warning, Don’t summon her unless you want Innuendos galore… NO REFUNDS.” Ammy said to Caster, shutting off her Telepathy and pulling chibi and Sweetie behind her. “Oh, This will be useful in case someone tries to attack me.” Caster summoned her mirror and placed the photo into it. “There we go.” “So, Ready to learn some spells?” “Yep!” “I’ll give you four to pick from, Power slash, Cherry Bomb and- Hell, I’ll just show you all four that I know so far. ” “Sweet!” “First, Cherry Bomb. Don’t attempt this indoors.” In midair, a circle was suddenly drawn with black ink with a line going halfway out the top like a few. It burst away to reveal a lit paper bomb. Ammy kicked it a fair ways away and watched it blow up in an explosion of color. “Oh. Ok my turn!” Caster drew the same sign as Ammy did, only with hers the cherry bomb was bigger and landed on top of Saber and exploded. As the explosion clear Saber had a magical bubble barrier around herself. “It’s a good thing servants have anti magic resistance on them at all times.” Saber said “Huh. Well anyways, Next is Power Slash.” Ammy drew a straight line across a tree. When the ink burst away, A burst of light shone and the tree suddenly fell down in pieces. “Can cut through any object. I dunno about armor.” Caster looks at Saber with a devilish smile on her face. “Let’s find out?” She said as she drew the sign for Power Slash at Saber. Which in turn did no damage to her, but is did damage and knocked down ten trees. “I’m getting the feeling you’re gonna use me as a test dummy for this are you?” Saber asked. “Yep.” Ammy chuckled and continued. “Alright… Lemme see… Does anyone have a source of fire or water?” “Oh I do!” Caster answered as she threw two talismans onto the ground, summoning up a stream of water & fire. “Cool, Alright, First Inferno.” Ammy drew a line across from the stream of fire to go straight across left. In an instant a pillar of fire erupted from the place where she drew for a few seconds. Caster in turn did the same, but aimed the fire at her test dummy. Causing a twister of fire to swallow Saber up, but still did not damage to her. “Like that?” “Yes! That was awesome” Amaterasu suddenly fell down in a fit of laughter. “Gee I’m glad someone is getting a kick out of this.” Said Saber. “I-I’m sorry.”  She said getting back up. She cleared her throat and turned to Caster. “Actually we can go through two routes here. I can teach you Waterspout or Fountain, No, They aren’t the same thing.” “How about both?” “Ok.” Ammy said after a while. (A few hours later) “I think that’ll be it for now.” Said Caster finishing up her last sign. “Just be careful.” Amaterasu warned. “Hey this is me we’re talking about, if there anything you should know about me is that I am careful with stuff like this.” “... Ok.” “Oh whatever!” Caster said as she teleported back to her own world leaving behind her token, along with Gilgamesh’s token which was an axe made of gold. “I’m guessin’ you two are gonna go next?” Chibi muttered from the back on the room. “Pretty much yeah, I have to go get my sister from out of jail. Faust knows she’ll end up harassing some of the ponies in jail with her.” Luna said as she open a portal back to her world. “If you need any help, give us a call and we’ll help.” With that her and Saber walked through the portal. With a puff of smoke, Amaterasu’s Celestia and Luna teleported into the cave. “You still have some explaining to do.” “Ah great.” “Use the boooook.”  Saber said telepathically “Yes I know!” Ammy yelled. “The read something on page 51 about how Luna been eating from Celestia’s secret stash of cakes, while she’s been going to the gym.”  Caster suggested. “Doing it.” Chibi spoke, flipping the pages with his nose. Once he got to page fifty-one, He burst out laughing. “Ohh Lulu you naughty little princess! Eating Celly’s stash!” He laughed. “Luna!” “But- I-” “No buts! We’re heading back to the gym, This time for you!” Celestia shouted, teleporting away. “... How’d that work?!” “Magic that’s how.”
