Number One sat near the make shift prison, waiting for another truck to roll the trailer away. He was about to enjoy a juice box when an explosion tossed the soldiers around him to the ground yet he slid a foot away. Looking over, he saw a completely red Fandom Man chasing a white unicorn that would retaliate with gems.
"Rarity?! Why am I Rarity?!" I shouted as I ran away. ...While also had the nagging feeling to stay away from dirt patches.
"The ultimatrix is stuck on shuffle." Q stated, "I would fix it- Actually no."
I flashed green again, turning into a Grey Matter-Celestia hybrid as I unroyally face planted. Getting up, I realized I had a wingspan that could wrap around me twice and a flowing gold aura around my hands. My new found genius would never be matched!
...I simply cut off his antennae.
The body fell and struggled to get up. I floated over to him, arms crossed, "The mighty has fallen." I said in my tiny voice.
"Psych." He grabbed me with both hands, but he couldn't hold my wings. With the power of the sun at my disposal, I flew us straight up into the air. He finally let go of me, gaining dragon wings as he began firing at my wings with twin machine guns.
As I fell, I noticed Time-base was being drawn out with the Crono-Chrome Eevee Mon Robot hooked up to it as the Omnidroid body staggered. I would've thought it was drunk, but I was falling from the sky.
I began to change as my wings disappeared and my body grew to a ball-like shape. I noticed that I was yellow, fat, had bear arms, and elephant legs... the underwear tipped it off until I glowed again, gaining white jeans, brown boots, and a green plaid sweater. Brown fur grew on me as white glasses materialized. "Huh, The Worst and Trenderhoof. Odd mix and still can't fly." I commented in the pony's voice. I crossed my arms and waited for my landing, which happened pretty quick. My eyebrow rose as a though occurred to me, "OK, when did I meet Trenderhoof? Off topic."
"Hey ugly, we have bad news." Rouge called through the ultimatrix on my belt.
"What's your deal?"
"I'm trying to pilot this thing, but I don't have much controls. Cortana is fighting a swarm of Crono-Chrome programs."
"Well, my watch is on shuffle." That was when I transformed again into a Scootaloo-Chicken Little mix.
I fixed my glasses as I watched Crono-Chrome dive towards me. Luckily, I had a scooter and a backpack full of gear. I quickly built a ramp out the debree and Lego bricks on the ground, shook my soda pack and drove up the ramp in time... to break my scooter at his head and realize that I'm more vulnerable to falling. "Stupid chicken."
My orange arm wings flared as new rage filled me. "Nopony calls me chicken..."
"Action in 3... 2... 1..." FandomPool informed the readers.
I transformed again, turning into a Big Mac-Wreck It Ralph mix, "Eeyup! I'M GONNA WRECK YA'LL!" I broke the soda pack, falling back towards the ground with my fist pointed down and I flew straight through the robot... but something felt off.
Rolling to the ground, I heard evil laughter as he repaired himself. I was booted back to my normal form, but without my armor, and the ultimatrix gaining serious static. "You fool! You just gave me the power of a GOD!" He continued to laugh as he floated towards Time-base. "Your fights with the princesses in their prime, gave me what I need from Luna to create the Nightmare Moon DNA. You ran past Sombra in the Chrystal Empire twice. Attempted to fight Discord at a time where you forgot your training. You unwittingly scanned multiple changelings, allowing me to isolate their Queens genes. ...It might be useful."
I tried activating my armor, but nothing was responding- Not even Q!
"Great, who turned out the lights?!" Discord asked. His only response was the echoing of his voice. "That doesn't sound good."
Once the robot bodies merged, Rouge was forced to DNA Digivolve with Eevee Mon again, who limped over to the army.
Number One and General Elmo began shouting commands, but everything was in vain for every possible command was already known and he was ready. Time travelers cheat that way.
We watched in hesitation as the robots changed shape until it resembled something creepy. A giant spider with wings... and a four armed top half of a muscular person, his bottom arms had arm cannons at the end.
I felt a buzzing, surprised to find my backpack on me. I took out a Copybot head that took Cortana's form. "Well, I'm a head. Great..."
"I can't stay long. If this body doesn't chow down soon, Rouge might be deleted!" Rouge-V explained, flying off. "I will return!"
"Kneel before me, peasants!"
Looking around, we saw the cowards among us do as he said, except for a few of us. I searched my bag, taking out my omnitrix. I switched the cores out, since the ultimatrix's body wasn't coming off soon. My data cloud was disconnected, giving me the default settings, which were now mostly useless without my armor.
"Bad news: we can't merge under these circumstances. Nor can we summon-" Cortana was cut off by the sound of an engine as the delorean fell from the sky, ramming Crono-Chrome. The robot body he resided in stumbled for a bit before its time energy unwittingly healed the car as it stopped in front of me.
I got out of the delorean, yelling at my past self, "This is a time loop! Drop your bag and switch with me!" Past me didn't question anything as he took the wheel and drove off. I picked up my backpack, lucky to avoid a red laser in the meantime.
"You really think you can stop me?!" Crono-Chrome shouted. "I can see all of time and space and you think you can stop me!"
"Tell me, C.C., what will happen in a minute? I have ten random forms and took a time machine to anywhere. Predict my future, fortune teller!" I challenged, my arms back in a "come at me bro" stance.
"Fool! In a minute from now-" he had all guns trained on me as he spoke, only to pause and slump as a familiar introduction video appeared on his screen. "My Little Pony. My Little Pony. Ahhh~ My little pony, I used to wonder what friendship could be...." he continued singing in his monotone voice as the theme played.
"What's going on?"
I held Cortana's head and kissed her forehead, "Simple. I created Time-base to predict twelve hours and further into the future to help ponies when they were ready, but some Displaced found him first. He was modified to be the protector of those he chose needed it most."
Number One caught the conversation, his eyebrow rising above his shades, "Hold on. You created Time-base?"
"Long story involving a time loop and temporary amnesia. Anyway, I programmed Tim-bass with the 'intro' protocol, preventing him from cheating at card games. He also has a mute-negative function. That's why he's been speaking in text." I explained as Cortana shared a look with Mr. Uno... I think. His shades...
"His security is down! Is that another protocol?"
"I had a Mighty No. 9 program, who created a passcode that I implanted into you one night. I set a timer for Mighty's program to activate." Cortana left the Copybot, grabbing my data cloud and returning it as I switched back to the ultimatrix core. The static cleared, showing a bright blue screen. "Program 9."
"Code excepted. Reinstalling data cloud and attaching upgrades." the ultimatrix droned.
I took the full body Copybot out of my inventory as Cortana took control of it. She flashed me a thumbs up as I activated my armor. Taking a running start, the silver metal covered my legs as my dash soles thrust me forward, the armor climbing up me as I pulled my right hand back, making it the last covered part of me. Crono-Chrome became reactive as my fist tore his sword arm off.
"Yo, buddy! I'm armed! haha!" I waved his arm, the sword in its grip. I tossed it back at him, impaling his chest. The silver shine of my armor wore off as Mighty inserted himself into Time-base.
"Good bye, master." The only tears were from me as I remembered the days we spent together, preparing for this day. We saluted each other as the robot fell apart.
"Program 9 integrated. Adding silver mode."
Everyone stared, obviously confused at the scene. ...Except for two time travelers. They knew that once Time-base returned to normal that there was going to be a month of uncertainty. For now, they just shook their head at the misuse of time travel to solve problems.
