//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: Element Thieves // Story: My Little Pony Dimensions // by PhantomSage21098 //------------------------------// KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK Sounded the door, Lust enters the room. It was pitch black, void of any light. "Your masterpiece is ready, master." He spoke. At the far end of the room, Kronus sits on his throne. The very one from Foundation Prime. In his hoof was Vortech's Staff, the same one, broken since the last battle. "Good," Said Kronus, "but I know the prince will be a nuisance. None of the Equestrians know what we're after. They think that we want just the Elements of Harmony and the other elements. But they don't know why or where the merge will happen. Take the ones closest to the prince and scatter them across the dimensions." "Yes, Master." Lust exits the room and closes the door, leaving Kronus within the world of darkness. "I will have them all. I will control their power. I will make the universes collide." Jacob placed a note beside Twilight's bed and left the room. I hope she finds it. I really want to tell her my feelings towards her. He turns around and Frostbite was right in front of him. "I don't find that creepy no more." "Was that a love letter? Have you fallen for the Princess?" Frost asked. "Maybe. She's been with us at training for some days. She invited me to be her plus one for the Galla. And I took notes and pictures at Griffinstone when Rainbow and Pinkie were on the friendship mission. I was a help in her world." "Then why are you helping them? What reason is there for you to be helping them?" "Never mind that. Let's get back to training." "You're almost done. You just need to discover or create your own magic. Personal magic is the key item for being a Mystic." Jacob nodded and sprinted off to leave the Castle. On the way out, he nearly trips over the Crusaders. But he jumps over them but ends up tripping over the stairs and begins rolling down them. When he stopped at the bottom, the girls ran over to him in panic, worried that he might be hurt. "Jacob," Nyx began, "Are you okay?" Jacob slowly stood up. "Yeah," he said, "I'm fine. I was just on my way to pick you up from school then meet the others at the Castle of the Two Sisters." As they were talking, a blue portal opened above the castle and Natasha (currently in pony form) came through it. She grabs hold of the tower and looks down. Looking right at the group. Her instincts were telling her to destroy Jacob, but her mind kept ringing about something else. My masters told me to get the Elements of Harmony while they get the power elements she thought, then she sees them sprinting off and jumping up and disappearing. World: Ratchet and Clank Amidst the wreckage of the deplanetizer, a metallic groan of pain echoed out. A few repair bots heard it and when to investigate it and when they were something they are made to do. Repair. They flew in to fix the robot they heard. "No," Said the voice, "get away from me." While the bots were fixing the owner of the voice, a Blarg wearing leather and lace was approaching the commotion. When he got there, the bot left and a robotic hand grabbed the last one. A robot owning that arm emerged from the wreckage "I AM NOT A ROBOT!!!!!" then it threw the repair bot away. "Wow, quite the temper you got there." Said the Blarg. The robot looks at him. "Who are you?" "I am Lustious. And I'm here to offer a chance at revenge, Dr. Nefarious." "I'm listening." At Canterlot Castle, the royal sisters were having tea and scones on the balcony. Celestia noticed that Luna acting like something was on her mind. "Is everything alright, sister?" Celestia asked. "It's about Jacob." Luna answered, "Since our last meeting, he was in the form of a unicorn, but it's strange." "What is?" "He has my eyes. I wish to have a word with him." "Well, you're in luck." A new voice spoke up, "He and his friends are at your old castle." Discord then appears on the balcony wearing a safari outfit. "I saw them heading there if you want to talk to him." World: Transformers Prime Starscream escorts Starlight, in human form, to Megatron "What is the meaning of this?" he questioned. "Lord Megatron," Starscream began, "I found this intelligent creature outside the Energon mine. She requested for you." "She's a waste of my time. Feed her to the preditron." "I was not sent here to be lunch." She protests, "My master sent me here to ask for your help. We have more power than energon if you're interested." He walks up to her and kneels for eye-to-eye contact. "Explain." Jacob and the Crusaders arrived at the castle and the Mane Six were waiting in the main foyer. "Alright, we're here." Jacob began, "So, what's up?" "I received a letter from somepony named 'The Doctor.'" Twilight said. Jacob knew or kinda knew who she meant. "He said to wait at the Castle of the Two Sisters and be prepared." "Prepared for what exactly?" Applejack asked. "Jacob!" A voice speaks out, everyone looks up and sees Luna descending from the broken roof and lands in front of Jacob. "Hey, Luna." He said, "How's it going?" "Very well. I came here to ask you some questions. Would you answer them for me?" Twilight was about to approach Luna and ask her why she is here to ask him questions, but she looks up and sees a shadowy figure on the scaffolding. "Look out!" She shouted and points at it. Everyone looks at it. The figure jumps down and lands in front of the Crusaders. The figure was Natasha; she looked at Nyx and got an idea. She grabs her and sprints off into the hallowed halls of the old castle. "Hey, no pony messes with my friends and/or kidnaps them!" Jacob shouts and sprints after her. The others followed suit. When everyone left, Spike waddled in and noticed no one was there. "Man," he complained, "I leave for a few minutes and everyone left without me." Then he heard voices echoing from outside the castle. He ran to the entrance and peeked out. He sees two Corrupted outsides in front of the stairs. He slowly backed away from the door, quietly. He stepped on a twig and they came bursting in. They saw him a started chasing him. World: DC Comics/Krypto the superdog Mechanikat and Snooky Wookums were doing villain rehearsals. To find an ally to join him in his evil schemes. "Next!" He shouted, and Greedus stepped into the spotlight. "Alright, what's your power?" "I can steal you blind and you'll never even know I was there." Greedus replied and pulled out a chunk of kryptonite. "Hey," Snooki spoke up, "that's ours! How did you get that!?" "I picked it up." "When?" "Just now." "Enough!" Mechanikat shouted, "You got the job. You're hired." "But that's a problem. I'm not here to join you, it's the other way around." Mechanikat looks at him in confusion. "What do you mean?" The group parted ways to cover more of the castle. Jacob told the Crusaders to go home by the way. Rarity and Fluttershy were in the throne room at the moment. "Nyx!"Fluttershy shouted, more like whispered, "Where are you!?" A few rocks clattered in a dark corridor. Could that be them? Fluttershy was too afraid to know, but not the etiquette, fashion mare. "Come out, you fiend!" Rarity shouted, "I know you're down there!" Rarity waited for Natasha to emerge from the shadows, but no one came. "Fluttershy." She didn't hear her call back. She turned around to see a little, blue kitten with button-like eyes. It was cute to her and approached it slowly. "Aw, what's an adorable, little thing like you doing here?" The kitten looks up to the snow-white unicorn. "Just doing as I'm told," Snooky said. Rarity gasped in shock. The kitten can talk! A shadow loomed over her, the kitten looked up and over Rarity and smirked sinisterly. "All yours, Mechanikat." "Thank you, Snooky." A voice spoke up behind Rarity, she turns slowly to see what spoke and then- "Ahhhhhh!" Twilight and Pinkie Pie were in the library as they heard the scream of their dress designer friend. "That was Rarity!" Twilight said. "You heard it too?" Pinkie asked, "I thought it was in my head." Then she shuddered like crazy and Twilight knew what that meant. Her Pinkie sense was going off. "Oh no." "Oh yes." A new, male voice spoke up, they looked at the far end of the room and saw a little, wooden doll thing. "Hello, ladies." "You're a talking-" "Don't say it." "-ventriloquist-" "I'm warning you." "-puppet." "I'm not the puppet, I'm the one who pulls the strings." A portal opens next to Pinkie and she got sucked in. Twilight tried to grab her, but it was too late. She was gone. The dummy cackled madly then it froze in a block of ice. She looked to where the beam was cast and she saw Frostbite, standing at the door. "Twilight!" He called, "Come on!" She ran for the exit and left the room with Frost. In the hall of armor, Rainbow Dash and Applejack strode along the eerie section of the castle. Worried about the others. "Ah'll go find Rarity and Spike." Applejack said, "You check down here." "No way!" Rainbow exclaimed, "I'll go find them and you check down here!" "There you are." A new voice spoke up, they looked down in the direction they came from and saw Luna and Jacob. "We heard Rares scream. Something is definitely not right." "Indeed." Another new voice spoke up, they looked in the other direction to see a short, more like child-size, bipedal creature, wearing a space-looking outfit. The outfit was blue with a dome helmet. "Uh oh." "What is it?" Luna asked. "A Sontaran. RUN!" They ran down the opposite way. Away from the Sontaran, but he pulled out a net gun and aimed at Rainbow and Applejack. He fires and successfully hits a bulls-eye. Rainbow and Applejack were tangled within the net and a portal opened beneath them. Jacob ran back to grab them and just like Twilight, he was too late. The portal closed up and they were gone. The Sontaran dropped the net gun and pulled out his Sontaran weapon. Aiming at Jacob, he was about to pull the trigger. Then he froze in the same block of ice. "Jacob!" Twilight called out, she ran around the Sontaran-sickle and to him. Frostbite followed suit. "Thank Celestia you're alright." "Same for you. Are ya hurt?" "I'm fine, but Pinkie and I were attacked by a ventriloquist dummy." "Was it wearing a tuxedo?" She nodded, "Slappy the Dummy." A tentacle of black sand grabbed Twilight's leg and dragged her down the halls. They chased after her through the old ruins of the castle. World: Rise of the Guardians Pitch Black was inside his domain of fear and darkness, waiting for the lights on the globe to go out. He senses a presence behind him. "I know you're back there." He spoke. "I stink at Hide and Seek." The one who owns that voice is Gluttonose, she stepped into the light to reveal herself. "I don't know how you got in here, but you're not welcome. Leave." "Wait, just hear me out. I'm here for your help. We have something better than the fear of children. Interested?" The bogeyman formed an evil grin. "Do tell." Twilight dragged all the way outside, to the Tree of Harmony. The others weren't far. "Oh, you look cuter in person." She looked to where that voice came from and she found what owned it. Right in front of the tree was a bipedal creature, that looked completely black. "Yes, be afraid. I love it when there's fear." "Twilight!" Jacob called out. He, Luna, and Frostbite arrived at the tree just in time. Jacob recognized the person between Twilight and the tree. "Well, if it isn't my worst nightmare. Pitch Black, The Boogeyman." "Oh, someone who believes in me. It's an honor to meet you, Prince Nebula." "Firstly, you guys stop calling me that name and secondly, let Twilight go." Jacob shifted to human form and summoned his sword. "Oh, aren't you forgetting someone else?" Pitch holds up Spike in his right hand, scared half to death. "How about this offer. Give me your ring and I'll let them go." A choice. It came to this. A ring for his friends. But Jacob knew Pitch; he had a plan. He can see it in his eyes. He can't give his ring, his source of magic, but he has to, for them to be safe. Jacob then stuck his sword into the ground, slid his ring off his finger, and tossed it to the being of bad dreams. "Alright, now let them go." "No." Jacob saw that coming. "You liked being alone in the world, so BE ALONE!" Spike puffed out flames at Pitch and he got ticked by the surprise. He threw Spike at Jacob and Twilight got thrown into a portal that appears suddenly. Pitch Dropped the ring and was about to smash it with a hammer, made from his nightmare sand. Jacob quickly whipped out his hand and the ring flew into it. Pitch turned shadows and began circling them, to confuse them. He appeared behind Luna and was about to strike, but Jacob was quick, he threw his sword at him. The impact destroyed Pitch's weapon. Jacob's sword flew back in his hand and charged at Pitch. Jumping into the air and did a flying kick, which sent him flying to the wall. And just like that, Pitch was defeated. Too easy, I know. The fight could have been longer but it wasn't the end. Jacob strode up to him, grabbed him, and slammed him against the wall. "Where are our friends!?" "Scattered across the dimensions." Jacob was confused. "Good luck trying to find them." A portal opens behind Jacob and it was pulling him in. The others grabbed him and tried to pull him back. As they were doing that, Pitch used his nightmare sand to take the Elements of Harmony out of the tree. Another portal opens for him to escape through. Their attempt to help Jacob has failed. They got sucked in with Jacob. Screaming as they flew through the vortex of time and space. Not knowing where it's taking them. to be Continued...
