I quickly flew away from the destruction of the planet below. Taking a deep breath, I sit back down in the seat of my ship, glad that the whole ordeal is over. “Freakin’ Space Pirates, always having a self-destructing base.” But before I could relax for very long, I felt a presence behind me. Quickly getting up out of my seat, I spun around, and pointed my arm cannon at the person in my ship. “Who are you, and how did you get here?”
But instead of a person, a see-through sphere the size of a ponies head. What seemed to be a floating Lightsaber and Scythe sparked with lighting. A male voice spoke out:
“Hello! You have been selected to join the War of Shadows! My name is Time Spinner, and two fellow human/Displaced are having at it. Crush the orb, and one or more of my assistants will explain everything you ask.”
“Oh, a Displaced thing.” I sigh, putting down my arm cannon, before reaching over, and crushing the orb. It wasn’t hard and felt like air.
Two glowing red pony forms appeared. The red faded, and two ponies stood there. The first looked like Rainbow Dash, but with a more greyish coat, and mane. She had two black metal rods instead of ears. Her cutie mark was a grey, green, and black version of the original lightning bolt and cloud. Her wings seemed darker and metallic too. The other looked like Pinkie Pie, but more reddish, and a straight mane, and faded blue eyes. Her cutie mark was three cupcakes, one a dark tan, the other two were red.
The Rainbow Dash look alike stepped forward, smiling. “What’s up?” Her voice was static-like.
“Nothing much. Just blowing up planets that have a race of alien pirates on them.” Sam replied, putting some snarkiness in his voice.
The Pinkie Pie look-alike growled. “Be nicer. I eat rude people.” This one sounded like she was trying to sound high pitched and female and it was almost horrible.
“Shush! We’re trying to get recruits here!” The Rainbow Dash one scolded.
“Recruits for what exactly?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.
The Rainbow Dash one placed a hoof to her chest. “First, let’s get introductions outta the way! I’m Rainbine, second in command of the Elements of Insanity. This here is Pinkis Cupcake… She eats people…” Rainbine trailed off as she saw Pinkis nibbling on a piece of meat. A gun popped out of Rainbine’s hoof and she shot it into oblivion. “And you?”
“Samuel Aran. Expert bounty hunter.” Sam replied, resisting the urge to eat the meat that ‘Pinkis’ was eating.
“Anyway. Like the Mega Token says, you’re invited, or eligible, to join the War of Shadows. Basically, two Displaced are in a MASSIVE rivalry. Lee Connors, and Darth Folteren. Lee and Folteren are fighting over who has control over the firsts world. Lee is displaced as Venom and is an Anti-villain, and Folteren is displaced as Revan. Whichever side you join, you’ll be getting a reward. Folteren’s is better though.” Rainbine said.
Pinkis Cupcake smirked. “Either side you choose, you’ll come out a winner. If you fail at helping Lee, then you’ll be sent home with the good guys reward for helping. If you fail helping Folteren, it’s the same, but better reward. You will be unable to die, and it isn’t for a while. Either way, you either help, or harm.”
“What are both of their goals?” I asked. “I mean, does one of them want to destroy all life on the other’s world?”
“Folteren wants to take over because Lee blew up his castle. And Lee’s trying to protect his world.” Rainbine explained.
“And the reward if awesome! Folteren is offering an Insanity Gem, and Lee’s offering a Sanity Gem. Both increase abilities a gives extra powers.” Pinkis listed.
I thought about it for a minute, considering in both points of view. ‘I have had a lot of insanity to deal with. Might be a good idea to go with Lee.’ Nodding my head, I answered. “I’ll go with Lee.”
“Great! We have a lot of good guys!” Pinkis said with sarcasm. Rainbine slapped her on the head.
“Ok. Samuel Aran. Welcome to the Alliance of Heroines.” Rainbine announced. “If you need any information, here is my time token.”
Rainbine gave me a green and black version of the Element of Loyalty.
“But before we go. Need anymore information?” Pinkis Cupcake asked.
“Yeah, why is it called the ‘Alliance of Heroines’? That means that it’s an alliance of only female heroes.” I asked, curious about it.
Rainbine froze. “Whoops… Darn, I messed that up. How do you say it?”
“The word for multiple heroes? It’s just heroes. That can imply both male and female members, along with those without a gender, or those of another gender.” I answered.
“Rarifruit told me it was Heroines… Crap! Thanks, I’d have been going around making myself look like a dork! Anything else?”
“Yeah, one last question. What time will I be needed, and how long will I be gone from my universe?” I asked, because I needed to make sure it wouldn’t interfere with a mission.
“It won't be for a while. Heck, it hasn’t even happened yet. We’ll call you a bit before it starts. As for how long? Depends on how many Displaced we can get. I think you’re the fifth. But, time is messed up when you are a time traveler. But they do exist, and it’ll start soon.” Rainbine replied.
“So… I guess that’s all. Do I need to say the special phrase? Or can you take care of that?” I said, trying to not be offensive. “Wait a second. I have a group of displaced friends that might want to help on the sidelines. They have some orbs that can grant about any wish, so they could revive any one who dies.”
Rainbine shrugged. “That’d be great! Well be on the sidelines. Well, if you come by anyone who wants to help in this, give ‘em this.” She hoofed me an orb like the one I crushed.
“You can’t break this one. Give it to them and explain to them this. Tell them to think of what side they want to be on, and poof!” Pinkis shrugged.
“Okay. I will. So… goodbye?” I said, wanting to finally be able to relax after my previous mission.
“Sure. Later!” Rainbine said as she and Pinkis started glowing red. They disappeared, leaving little trace.
I sighed, before finally sitting back down in my chair, and deactivating my helmet. “Guess I got my work cut out for me.” I turned around in my seat, and started plugging in coordinates to take me to the universe the Ginyu Force is from, so I could tell them.
