//------------------------------// // ACT 3.5 PART 2 // Story: The Great Fandom Man! // by Jake Witt //------------------------------// "Repeat that, now?" Mew gave a long sigh, "This isn't an Equestrian mirror portal, its Atlantian arcane science. In order to fix our side you must gather resources from your side and vise versa." Both Rainbows weren't here, going home at this point so instead we had two tiny human Mews giving us instructions from both sides of the mirror portal. ...Still would prefer a Rainbow. Their EQG2 Rainbot seems cool. "Who's idea was that?!" Fandom Fighter or Kara Conners, my female counterpart from this world, questioned. "Atlantians," Molly, Moe Mew's counterpart, replied with her own sigh. The two of us had to go alone... or relatively alone since we both have pokemon with us. I wasn't known to be a good swimmer and turns out neither was Kara. It seemed that we've been standing on a beach, staring at the ocean in front of us while waiting for the other to make their move. "Are you two there yet? You should be close by now." "They're still on the beach," Cortana and Zoro stated, sighing. The ground began to shake as Shia LeBeouf's head popped out of the water, "JUST DO IT!!!" He dived back down fast enough to avoid a rock, making it skip on the water's surface. I rose my head to the sky, pointing a finger at the sun, "Monty Python GOD, stay out of this!" "...Do I want to ask?" Kara asked, messing with her ultimatrix. "They hate dialogue. So, what happened before your first cross fusion if that didn't happen?" "I had a vocaloid and the TF2 announcer." "Translator online." Shadow informed. "Shoo Shoobie Doo? Should I really ask you?" I stated in my Siren Rip Jaws form... which has taken a new rainbow sheen under certain light. Fandom Fighter took a mermaid form... though the twist was this: "何？What?" "Shoo Shoobie Doo! Translation is hard to do!" "疑わしい。I doubt it. シャドウは何彼のプログラムで素晴らしいです。Shadow is amazing at what he programs." "SHUT UP AND DO SOMETHING!!!" Shadow shouted, causing the ultimatrix acting as Kara's belt to vibrate. "ファイン！愚か。Fine! Stupid." "Heard that." We swam... or dug in the water while flailing our tails... though the water until we spotted a dome in the distance with several... black... buses...? "Shoo Doo Doo... This is getting really dumb now..." "それでは、このクイックを終了させて​​... Let's finish this quick..." I'm not sure what you call it, but the two of us looked like we were having seizures though we were mobile. What would've taken an easy ten minutes or less for a sea creature took longer for us, but we finally reached the border. Two guards floated at the entrance, their spears pointed at us, "Halt! What is your purpose of business at a city that's supposed to be lost?!" They looked like this, but without a crown and the staff looked like a weapon. "Shoobie Shoo Shoo Shoob? Have you asked Celestia to be your goddess and princess?" "私たちは、ミラーを固定するために誰かを探しています。We're looking for someone to fix our mirror." Some guards came by, pulling us in as our escorts. *Atlantian type Nick DNA acquired* both ultimatricies droned after scanning the guards, who were quick to pull out laser pistols- Hold on. If they have pistols then why are they guarding their "lost city" with spears?! From where we entered, a series of explosions reigned as the other guards vaporized a school of fish with their spears in the similar form of a sniper rifle with a harpoon end. They high-fived each other, causing us to gulp. "What did you do to us?!" One nearby guard shouted, taking out a pocket knife in his other hand... or fin. I don't know. The point stands, I'm going to assume switch blades are tasers here. "私はあなたをどのように示しについて！How about I show you!" Fem me shouted, slamming her ultimatrix. She briefly returned to her normal form before a more magical "magical girl" sequence took over, seemingly freezing time as she was surrounded in green light and covered in pink swirls that pooled out of her ultimatrix. Her body shrunk in height as her armor turned a dark blue and her now bright blue nose extended. Her limbs thinned to an unbelieveable thickness and her torso was one with her head. Her eyes were bigger and matched as well as Discord's wings... or Eris' wings? I don't know. What? Fem Discord might be Eris. It fits. Anyway, she gained a tiny tail and orange hair that surrounded the glass revealing her brain. Her ultimatrix ring formed on her chest. Fandom Fighter's lips were bright red and pretty goofy if you ask me. Her shrill voice shrieked as she fell out of the sequence, waving her fingers. "I don't like this! Ew! Ew! Ew!" "Shoobie, Doo Doo Doobie Doo Shoo. Cortana, keep that form locked away in the rejects section." "Yeah... Couple Jetrays coming up." A comparison of our transformations, she had a magic girl transformation of green light and pink swirls while I had a simple transition with an uncontrolled light show of green light and blue hexagons. Our bodies shifted to red and yellow manta ray-like aliens with black lightning bolt-like stripes on our backs. Gills formed along our sides and two yellow horns formed. I shifted position, "Yeah... we'd like some help in fixing a mirror portal. Do we need to ring for the king?" I asked, causing the guards to snap back in reality. "Um... hello? Ponyequivalenttoearth to Atlantians? Do we need a craftsman?" There was a long silence before trumpets sounded and a red carpet unrolled towards then past us. "PleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasePLEEEEEASE?!!" I rose an eyebrow to my female counterpart, "Are we going to question how we're breathing in this water and staying on the ground or why the King isn't helping me with my problem?" The King here placed us in cages in his museum as "Shape Shifting Twins" leading to several green lasers destroying each cage in an attempt to escape. After nearly an hour as Jetray, we burned off more energy than realized, turning us back to normal... and not drowning. Since then we explained how we could transform... and still nothing was happening. The King continue to beg for our "ultimate tricks watches" as an attraction while giving us a tour through the castle. "I'm going to question the comb ice cream." A blue hand on our chest stopped us, angered one of us, but stopped us nonetheless as the King spoke. "Next up we have the pony room!" "Not surprising, seeing as we need more ponies in a pony fanfic." Shadow commented. We were lead inside a room where... What. The. Goodness. It was a literal room filled with Diamond Tiaras- the pony -and several party ponies bound to beds in many positions with either Atlantian hands squishing their faces or being hook up to machines that were shocking nerves in a way that contorted their faces- I felt the gears spin in my head as I saw that face... I wasn't sure if I was laughing or screaming, but all that mattered was that an Atlantian punched me in the face. The King smirked, "As I was saying, we knew that if we took a surface pony, another pony would notice. So we checked every doomed universe and took these pink ponies! They keep calling themselves Diamond Tiara, but Pinkie Pie can't hide from us! No matter what shape," he pointed to a Princess Cadence that had her face squished while chatting with a Party Favor, "...or size! Once we collect sufficient data, we will begin testing for 'Pinkie Sense' to help protect our city from Nemor or Aqua Man!" "...Don't you mean Namor?" "I think you're confusing him for my pet clown fish, Namo." Fandom Fighter got between us, "Stopping geeking- or nerding. No clue. Anyway, we need material to fix a mirror portal." The King turned his back, "I will help you... if you kill Atlantica's King." He turned to us, "There shall only be one sea king!"
