Chapter 10: The Displaced [Crossover]
"What the fu... OW!" I yelp as a stone comes out and hits me in the face.
“What’s that?” Applejack asks me while trying to not laugh.
I rub my face and pick up the stone. “Dunno, looks like a stone to me,” I reply sarcastically. I roll the stone around in my hand and look at the rune pattern on it. ‘Huh, kinda looks like a fancy three,’ I think to myself.
I then hear a voice in my head.
'I am Nicko. The Rune Slayer with a kind heart. The power that's in my grasp and that you control will become the power that the darkness will fear. May there be light on the roads that you travel.'
“Jesus Christ!” I yell and drop the stone.
Applejack looks surprised by my sudden outburst. “Ichigo!? What in tarnation ya yell like that fer? Ya tryin’ ta give me a heart attack!?” she scolds me with a frown.
I can only smile sheepishly at her. “Sorry about that, I heard a voice in my head speaking to me… and no, It wasn’t Zangetsu or Bob,” I tell her.
I then pick up the stone again and look it over. ‘What the hell is this thing?’
‘I can feel a presence coming from the stone,’ Zangetsu tells me.
I drop the stone again surprised. “Applejack, can you stomp on it? Zangetsu says there’s a presence in it, maybe if we break it, it’ll be free?” I tell her.
“Yer sure we should be doin’ that? What if it’s a demon… Ah mean hollow inside it?” she asks me.
I draw my Zanpakuto and stand ready. “Well then, I’ll just slay it if it is,” I reply.
Applejack still looks unsure. “Well… Alright, but if somethin’ goes wrong, it’s yer fault!” she says as she rears up and slams her hoof down on it. That single slam causes a powerful burst of reishi to erupt from it, tearing open a hole in the air as something comes out and slams into a nearby tree. When the smoke finally cleared, I just stare at the strangely dressed kid laying next to the tree.
“Great… seconds after being brought here, I had to slam my head into a tree…” he says while rubbing his head.
“Land sakes! Mah tree!” Applejack shouts out looking at the damage done to her apple tree.
“Forget the tree, AJ!” I tell her. I then turn to the kid. “Oi! Who are you!?” I demand.
The kid then looks up at me. He has red hair with three bangs, two at the sides and one ponytail in the back. He's wearing a black half jacket and thick cargo pants with belt like straps around his hands and a golden disk at his waist, one with the same symbol that I saw earlier on the stone.
“I could ask you the same thing,” he replies, brushing the dust off of his clothes. “but if you want to know my name, it’s Nicko.”
Applejack and I watch the kid with caution. “So ya ain’t a hollow?” Applejack asks him.
He tilts his head at that. “Hollow? Oh no, I’m not one of… those,” he then looks at the stone by Applejack’s hoof and sighs a little. “Well now, it looks like you found my summoning token,” he says, pointing at the stone at Applejack’s hoof.
“Summonin’ token? This little pebble?” she asks and kicks the stone towards me.
I pick it back up and frown. “What’s a summoning token?” I ask this Nicko. He sighs before looking back at me for a second.
“Oh boy… looks like I have some explaining to do…” he mutters looking down, he then looks back at me. “Ichigo right?… I’m going to take a wild guess here that you were brought here after some creepy merchant dealer sold you something?” he asks me.
My eyes widen at that. “What do you know about the Merchant?” I ask him back.
“Not much… but a brief news flash to you… You’re not the only person that had that happen to them,” he explains. “You’re looking at living proof right here.”
‘What? Orihime and I aren’t the only ones sent here?’ I think to myself. “I wasn't the only one sent here, a girl dressed as Orihime was also sent here after me, but I arrived over a thousand years ago, she just popped up yesterday,” I reply.
“Interesting… Now, you might be wondering how the summoning token that I was talking about relates to this? Well, that’s the thing. Those who ended up in the situation we’re in are called Displaced, short for Dimensionally Misplaced. Each one has a token where they can either use it to summon someone from another realm or have it be used to bring them to that person. I know this personally because my brother, niece, and a couple of friends are also Displaced and my niece probably came here with me, but is somewhere else,” he tells me, looking at me and Applejack. “Does that help?”
I just stare at him with a raised eyebrow. “Wait wait wait, hold up, another realm? You’re not from here?” I ask skeptically.
“Yeah, to put it in basic terms, multiverse theory,” he explains. “Where I'm from, Celestia has a brother instead of a sister.”
Applejack just looks confused from the explanation. “What in Tartarus is he talkin’ about?” she asks.
I just wave my hand at her. “I know what he’s talking about. So… what are you going to do now that you’re here?” I ask the boy with narrowed eyes.
Applejack then tilts her head towards me. “I know yer tall and so is Orihime… but why is this human so short?” she asks me. However, that did not go well with the kid apparently.
“What… Did you just call me?” he growls, anger radiating in his tone as he grits his teeth and clenches his fists.
Applejack's eyes widen at the sudden change of his tone. “What? I just asked why yer just smaller then Ichigo? Are you a foal compared to him or somethin’?” she asks confused. All that did was have Nicko stare us down looking absolutely pissed.
“I’m freaking twenty five years old… Never… CALL ME… LITTLE! Ebalon!!” he yells as I can feel his reiatsu or magic rise and he summons a long golden coloured sword with a black edge, startling the both of us.
“Whoa nelly! Where did that come from!” Applejack cries out in alarm.
I raise my hand and grip my Zanpakuto. “Hey, calm down buddy, she didn't mean it,” I say and turn to Applejack. “Right?” I ask her.
“What? Ah just asked an honest question!” she replies. I barely hear two small explosions and turn to see the kid rush right at me, he swings his sword at me and I bring mine down and block his attack.
I use both hands to hold my sword up to hold the enraged kid back. “Bloody hell! You need to calm the fuck down!” I say and push back as hard as I could, but to my surprise though, Nicko used a free hand to conjure some kind of rune in between my face and his blade.
"SPLASH EXPLOSION!" he then shouts out.
The rune detonates in my face, throwing me backwards a few yards as Nicko uses the force of the explosion to repel himself backward onto a tree branch before dropping down.
I clutch my face with my left hand. “That little motherfu… You’re going to regret that pipsqueak!” I yell at the kid and with my left hand still over my face, I pull it down and form my hollow mask. “Let's see how you handle this!” I shout in a distorted tone and rush the angry kid with great speed, but something feels off at the way he's grinning. He moves backwards and keeps going forward, but I suddenly slow down, the kid just points his finger down at the ground.
There's some kind of rune on the ground under me, what ever this is, it's making me feel cold. The kid backs off but didn't seem to notice Applejack return with her Zanpakuto.
“Shake the earth! Furue!” Applejack yells ten meters in the air, her Zanpakuto changing into her heavy brown metal boots. She then collides with Nicko, knocking him away.
While in flight, Nicko flips around, feet colliding with the trunk of a tree as he uses it to soften the blow against him. “Well… That happened. Guess I don’t need to go easy on you two anymore,” he smirks, wiping the small amount of blood from the corner of his mouth off of his face. “Time to raise the stakes.”
“Easy? Don’t make me laugh, a scrawny little fella like you is holdin’ back?” Applejack taunts him.
“Dammit, AJ…” I mutter with a facepalm.
“Yes I am… Let me make things interesting then,” he replies, surprising the two of us when he actually dismisses his sword. “Rovaniik,” he then says. A new long black double edged sword is now in his grip. This blade was a lot different, around the same length as Tensa Zangetsu in Bankai form, but wider.
‘Ichigo, be careful. That sword has a soul in it, it’s not just an ordinary blade, stay on guard,’ Zangetsu tells me.
‘What? Is it some kind of Zanpakuto?’ I ask him.
‘No, it is not,’ Zangetsu replies..
‘Oh stop worrying about it and kick his ass already!’ Bob tells me.
“So… What’s so special about that sword?” I ask him.
“Let’s just say that the blade has the power of another Displaced’s token in it, a friend known as the Earth-Warden, but maybe it’ll be more ideal…” he says, channelling his magic into the blade. “... If I show you!” Without warning, he swings his sword where a fissure in the earth tears through the ground. It also causes spikes of stone to shoot up from the ground below my feet and Applejack’s hooves.
Applejack kicks off the stone spike under her, barely avoiding being impaled. “MAH FARM!” the mare screams out seeing the large scar now in her land.
I take to the air to avoid being hit and stand in mid air looking down at the damage. “Bloody hell… Hey! Watch where you swing that thing! There’s children in that house dammit!” I yell at the angry kid.
“I never hit the barn,” he says. “you just thought so, look.” I look back at the farm house see a transparent dome around the building. “And with that… that could only mean one thing…”
I growl under my breath and look back at him. “That’s it, this is getting out of hand,” I mutter and get ready to remove my mask and use my Bankai.
“BAN…” But before I could finish, a small beam of light hit me in the forehead, shattering my hollow mask and throwing me backwards into a nearby tree, I hit a few branches before I hang off the last one. I groan as I look up and see the kid waving to someone, Nicko smiles a little as he waves his hand at a girl in the distance.
“Uncle, Nicko. What the heck is going on here!?” Nicko sighs, dismissing his sword, looking at the girl with white hair and a few metallic spears right behind her. “Who’s the guy in the pajamas? … Did one of them call you little?” she asks him.
“What was your first clue?” he replies.
“You were using only thirty percent of your total magic, yet you decided to use the blade that had Deathwing’s token infused in it. Plus, dad always said that you get angry when you’re referred to by your height,” the girl tells him. I look towards Applejack and see her eyes twitch a little, I then look back at the girl.
“Wait a minute! You mean to tell me that he was throwing this huge hissyfit because he has a height complex!” I yell, causing me to fall from the branch and hit the floor. “OUCH MOTHER FU….ARGH!” I shout and then rub my head.
“Ichigo!” I hear Orihime say and runs over to me.
“There isn't a need for him to be inspected for injury,” an unknown voice says, causing her to stop. “It’s just a bump on the head.” For a moment, we all look around for who was speaking, until the girl herself sighs deeply.
“Moby, you know it’s rude to speak like that without showing yourself.” Seconds after she says that, the two earrings she's wearing start glowing and transform into two drone things that are floating by her side.
“My apologies, Miss Faith,” the drone replies, looking back at everyone.
“By Celestia! What are those things?” Applejack asks startled.
“We are Nasod Drones and are in service to Lady Faith, mechanical lifeforms with our own conscience. We are her guides as well as her guardians, our will is her’s and her will is ours,” the second drone says. “He is Moby and I am Remy.”
“Oh…” Applejack says, then looks at Nicko with a glare. “As for you Mister, how do ya expect to repair the damage to mah farm! Ah doubt even twilight could magic this hole closed!” she yells at him with anger in her tone. Nicko sighs, taking some shards of something in his hand and forming a rune with his magic at the damaged areas. Soon, the rune glows and turns into energy as it slowly restores any damage that was there.
“Restoration runes. I combine a normal rune with a few Nature and Light El Shards to heal any damage that might have been caused,” he explains. “Also, to what Ichigo was saying… Try having yourself be overlooked for all the possible talents you have because of your height… Once that has happened, you’ll know exactly how I feel,” he says and then looks at Orihime, putting his hands in his pockets. “So… How exactly did you find my niece?”
Orihime turns from examining me to Nicko. “Oh, I was having tea with Fluttershy when this tiny hole opened up and this cute little hairpin thing came out. I then tried putting it on, and then she popped out of a bigger hole! It was very confusing… Then we all had some tea together!” she replies with a smile.
“Well, that explains how you and I got summoned to two different places,” Faith says, shrugging her shoulders. “Is Mr. Pajamas alright?”
I grumble as I stand back up. “I’m fine, been through worse,” I reply. ‘that zap I got back in the Soul Society hurt a lot more.’
‘You’re just as much of a pansy as the Princesses are,’ Bob tells me.
‘I’m not in the mood for your lip right now, Bob,’ I reply bitterly.
“So now that we've calmed down,” I say glancing at Nicko. “What happens now?” I ask the two of them as I sit down.
“Maybe we should get the chance to talk a little. Orihime and I were just about to talk about how I got Displaced until I felt my Uncle’s magic rise,” Faith says.
Applejack looks surprised. “Wait? Uncle? Ya look older than he does, how is he yer Uncle?” she asks the girl and sits beside me.
“Well, when my father was raising me, my uncle was in stone for a short amount of time. Seven years in our Equestria is twenty one years back home.” Faith explains, having Moby and Remy verify her story.
“In addition, I wasn't turned to stone like some people being seen as villains. Some insane Esper used his weapons to rebound a blast from the elements of harmony that was going towards my brother Anson. Instead, I took the hit for him so he could keep on fighting,” Nicko says. “I'm twenty five and my brother is almost forty. Ironically, we used to be twins. How I got out of stone though was a little more… interesting.”
I cross my arms and raise an eyebrow. “Let’s hear it then, how’d you get out?” I ask. Orihime and Applejack also listening with interest.
“Faith. She and a friend got both myself and my partner out because only those of the same bloodline could break them free. Faith got me out and Chaotic, a friend of hers, got Eris out of there as well,” the Rune Slayer added on.
“I see, I had to break out of my own stone prison myself,” I tell them. “Orihime is just lucky she only just arrived, she was spared that horror, at least I wasn't alone for mine,” I say with a shudder.
“We… well… we aren't exactly the only one’s in our world.” Faith replied. “There’s dad, Uncle Nicko, Uncle Leo, Grandma and Grandpa along with our family friends; Amy, Molly, Jane, Yuri, and Jade. So… Yeah… Not to mention that my grandparents are a pair of demons, Yuri and Jade are Fox ladies, Uncle Leo has a mechanical arm and Amy wields blood magic and basically causes havoc wherever she goes.” All Nicko did was just look at her with a surprised expression.
I just sigh sadly. “At least you can remember them, Orihime and I can’t remember our friends and family before the convention that brought us here, or much of anything really,” I tell them.
“Actually… All the family members that Lady Faith mentioned happened to arrive on similar circumstances,” Moby corrected. “Just at different points in time, for one thing, Nicko’s parents were the guardians of Celestia and Artemis.”
“Hold up,” Applejack says. “Ya said yer Grandparents were Demons? Did they come from here? Wait… Does that make ya part Demon as well?” she asks the two Humans.
“Not quite,” Remy interjects. “They were displaced as demons. Luke, Nicko’s father, was a royal guard and Ciela, Nicko’s mother, was a Noblesses. Before they were stripped of their old powers and turned to stone, they raised Celestia and her brother Artemis. A thousand years later, at the time Nicko and his brother Anson had finally arrived in our world, the two of them were set free. Despite their demonic appearance and abilities, they use their abilities for good purposes… One other thing to note is that a spell was casted on Ciela to where she is stuck in the body of a child,” the Nasod explains, pulling up a picture of them before and after the change. “Does that answer your question, Miss Applejack?”
“Errr, that sounds mighty… Awkward…” she replies.
“Not quite when her gauntlets can grow twice her size,” Nicko deadpan's. “Trust me, I know first-hand. She chased Diamond Tiara all around Canterlot after she had the guts to insult her, and I had to fight against her once.”
“Ichigo!” a voice from above calls out, we look up to see the Princesses both glide down and land behind me. “Are thou alright? We felt thy magic rise, did thou fight another powerful hollow?” Luna asks me, then looks at the two new humans. “And who are they?” she asks confused. Celestia just narrows her eyes at the two newcomers.
“I’m Nicko. She’s my niece, Faith,” the kid points out.
“And the reason for the fight was because one of these two decided to comment about my uncles height… which is quite a sensitive subject to him,” Faith says. Nicko looks back at her. “While that was going on, I was trying to have some tea with Orihime and Fluttershy until my Uncle’s magic rose.”
“So he has the temper of a foal?” Luna asks with a raised brow. “One’s height should not let thee lose thy temper,” Luna tells him.
“One… I'm twenty five. Two, try having yourself overlooked for your height instead of your skills and you would understand. Three, I'm not a foal for Land’s sake,” Nicko replies, irritation dripping from his words. “Ironically, this isn't the only time that this has happened, the other time was when I first met my teacher.”
Luna smiles at Nicko. “One, We art over a millennia old, compared to us, thou art a foal. Two, we understand the feeling of being overlooked…” she says with a hint of sadness. “And three… yes thou are,” she says, her smile returning.
“I was taught by an elder dragon and the magic I know is rare to the point that only one pony could master it,” Nicko says. He stands up and conjures another rune with his magic, the sheer pressure of it causing the Princesses manes to be blown backwards. He dismisses the spell and then says three words. “Starswirl the Bearded.”
“Starswirl the Bearded!? He never knew such magic!” Celestia says with alarm.
“In your world, yes. In mine, he was the only other pony besides my student that could master it. However, he died before being able to complete his research,” Nicko explains, noticing Faith nodded her head to verify his story. “Plus, things are kind of different where I'm from.”
Luna raises an eyebrow at the Slayer. “How different?” she asks him.
“For one thing, you are a prince instead of a princess. Yes… you are a stallion back where I'm from,” Nicko replies. “Also, Celestia is married.”
Celestia lost her glare for a surprised expression and a light blush. “I'm what?” she asks. Luna just stood there stunned with a twitching eye.
“Uncle, I think you forgot to mentioned that we’re not from this world,” Faith points out. “Those circumstances only occur back where we are from.” Turning around to Celestia, she then sighs a little before speaking again. “And Yes, you’re married back in our world.”
Celestia narrowed her gaze again. “To whom might I ask…”
“Discord. Don’t worry though, by then he’s… changed,” Faith tells her calmly as to not have Celestia freak out on her by the answer. However… The opposite happened. “Why does it feel like I did something wrong?” the girl asks.
Celestia looks like she was about to throw up at the thought alone. “Erp. You must be joking! Discord is a cruel and vicious being, he tried to turn the whole world into a… I don’t even want to think about it…” she replies looking a bit green. Nicko then stands and turns around.
“Well, you might want to believe it. Eris is stopping by… and in our world, she’s one of your kids.” Nicko then waves his hands a little as he opened a small tear in the air. After a few seconds a strange creature that looks like it was made of different animals comes through.
“Nicky, I was wondering where you and Faithy were…” she says to them, then she looks at me. “Who’s Mr. Pajamas?”
I frown at the new creature. “Hey! These are called a Shihakushō. It’s standard for Soul Reapers!.. And what’s your problem? You look like you can’t decide what you want to be…” I reply in irritation, that's twice I've been called that now.
“May I remind you that I'm a Draconequus… Something tells me that you we’re getting along with my dear Nicky earlier,” she says with a smile, floating over to where Nicko was before going behind me and ruffling up my hair with her lion paw. “Please do me a favor and keep my partner in one piece.”
“OW! Watch it! I'm still sore there…” I say with frown.
“Oooh. Someone seems to be a bit sensitive,” she chuckled.
“Eris… Let’s not go overboard here,” Nicko tells her. “I already had to talk to this Celestia about your father and she looks like she’s sick to her stomach.”
“I have a spare bag if she needs it,” Eris says, snapping her eagle talon and a brown paper bag appears next to Celestia.
Luna then looks from the Draconequus to Celestia. “Sister… She resembles Discord… but she has no mask…” the night princess says.
“Mask? What, is there a masquerade that nopony cared to inform me of?” Eris asks, a little confused by what Luna meant.
I grin at a chance to get back at her for agitating my headache. “I think she means like this,” I say and hold my left hand over my face. Black reishi gathers in my palm and I pull my hand down, forming my hollow mask. I then breath lightly which comes out distorted. Eris then looks at me with slightly wide eyes for a brief moment, but then looks back at Nicko. “I'm not even going to ask about what exactly you have been through. Remind me to look back through your memories later so I can be caught up to speed, dear.”
“Noted” Nicko replies and nodded. He then looks back at Luna. “Eris isn't a demon like you would think. She’s just a spirit, conjured by my Discord because he didn't want himself to feel alone when he was stuck in stone. Eris is Discord's daughter… and one other thing too… My Fiance’,” he tells her.
Celestia just blinked and shook her head. “I think I've heard enough. I'm going back to Canterlot and wiping my own memory of this talk…” she says and starts flying off.
“Aww, we haven’t gotten to the part about how we are from another Equestria… What a buzzkill,” Eris groans in disappointment.
Luna sighs and walks away a few steps. “We shall also head back to Canterlot… Ichigo, please keep an eye on our… Visitors,” she tells me and then flies after Celestia.
Nicko breathes in deeply, he then tells us about his world and a lot of things, including information about Eris and how she had been helping him since he was first Displaced. After a little while though, Eris does something that made me cringe though as she dissolved into Nicko's body.
“One thing though… Let’s not tell your Twilight about any of this. She might flip out or crash because of the amount of information we've said… and the fact that she might go all fangirl on me with the part on Starswirl the Bearded.” Nicko sighs while looking between me and Orihime.
I just chuckle. “No problem there, she’s preoccupied trying to figure out how she and the others became Soul Reapers themselves and how their zanpakutos work,” I tell him.
“Trying to take the logical approach? Expected… but with finding out the other part… Something tells me that it would take time to figure it out… Which reminds me… Who has figured them out? I noticed Applejack did when she kicked me, but who else besides that?”
“Only Applejack and Luna have spoken to their zanpakutos so far. I helped Luna overcome her fear, and Applejack did it to protect her sister. Though Pinkie has as well, but I don’t know how she did it,” I reply.
“Well, she’s Pinkie Pie. It’s to be expected,” Faith replies.
I shake my head lightly. “Don’t remind me. I can’t even sense her reiatsu... and she knows shunpo as well,” I tell her.
“Hmm… I'm going to take a guess and say that the way they find out their weapons true potential is that when they overcome a huge personal challenge or something that they care for is put in harm's way and they would do anything they can to protect them,” Nicko says. “That’s what I say based on what you told me. Hell, I wouldn't know because I have three swords, but can’t use all of them at once.”
I nodded at him. “Possibly, but I think Pinkie just invited hers to a party or just said ‘Hello, be my friend’ or something like that, but each zanpakuto has their own personality, likes, and dislikes,” I tell him. “For instance, I know of a Shinigami named Kenpachi, he’s so battle hungry that he treats his zanpakuto as a tool, not his partner. Thus, the sword won’t speak to him… By the way, you mentioned three blades, I've only seen you use two so far.”
“The third I only use partially, but there’s a reason why,” Nicko replies and uses his magic to summon another sword that's black and purple. “It’s infused with the power of the void and can be used to cut open tears in the void. I only use it on certain occasions.”
“And what’s in this void?” Orihime finally spoke up.
“The void is used to travel between worlds, but is also used to cast your summoning token out into the world as well,” he explains.
“Speaking of Tokens, do I have to make one?” I ask him.
“You can… but there isn't a need to rush yourself. Unless of course you have an item that could work well as a token for you,” Faith replies.
“Hmmm. If I did make one, would I be forced to the one who summoned me like you were? Or can I set up some kind of rule?” I ask again.
“Some call upon the Displaced that they try to summon. For example, with my teacher, I have to ask for permission to be summoned into his world. It just depends on the people you meet,” Nicko tells me. “Trust me… We've met our fair share of Displaced and not all the time are some people… nice. A few of them have good intentions, but are real assholes.”
“Huh… Would a phone work well as a token? That way I could talk to the person who has it before making a decision on being summoned myself,” I ask.
Faith nodded. “I think that is a possibility, a Displaced I know named Robin has his token be a book and he can communicate with whoever writes within the pages of the book. It’s worth a shot.”
I open my bumbag and pull out my phone. “This is what I bought at the convention that sent me here. So how do I make tokens from this? And do I keep the original?” I ask Faith.
“First… You need to leave a message or saying for them. Not after the beep though, you’re not calling them. And yes, you do keep the original. When you send your token out into the void, it sends out copies into the multiverse and lets you keep the original.” Faith giggles, looking back at me.
“So I just say a pledge like you did and what? Focus my reiatsu into it or something?” I ask confused.
“That should do the trick,” Nicko replies.
“Alright, here goes,” I say and hold the phone out. “Hello, I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, and I'm a Soul Reaper. If you’re a good guy looking for a helping hand, just give me a call and tell me what you need,” I say and focus my reiatsu into the phone. It glows purple for a second before it settles down. “Okay… Now what?” I ask.
Nicko motions for my phone and I hand it to him. With a single slice from his sword, he tears open a hole in this void and tosses it in. I worry for a second as I watch my phone split into more and then disappear into the void of space. When it was done, Nicko only had two phones on him, my original one and a spare for him and Faith to keep, he then tosses it back to me. Nicko smiles a little as he looks back at him and Orihime.
“You two should be able to contact us whenever you need help since you already have our tokens, but we’re going to need to take our leave from here. I got an apprentice to teach and need to make sure Faith comes back safely or else my brother will freak out. He’s… overprotective at times.” The Rune Slayer sighs as he and his niece step into another tear that he created with his sword. “See you around,” he says.
“Wait! Before you go, are there any of these Displaced or tokens I need to avoid?” I ask him.
“That… depends on you. One you might need to watch out for though may be Gremmy,” he says. “He’s a Quincy,” he then tells me.
I go wide eyed as they step through and the tear closes behind them.
"Why would I have to watch out for a Quincy?.. Whatever, this has certainly been an eye opener," I say and put the rune stone token and phone in my bumbag. Orihime is still wearing Faith's token just above her left hairpin.
"Well ah fer one hope we don't see them too soon again, just look at mah tree!" Applejack says and sadly strokes the damaged tree. Nicko may have fixed the hole in the ground, but he forgot the tree he slammed into. I also look at the house and see the dome around it gone.
Big Mac, Applebloom, and Granny Smith all come out and worry over Applejack.
"Ah'm fine, Ichigo took more hits than ah did," she replies to them.
"APPLEJACK! Are you alright!?" I hear Twilight call out. She runs up to us and pants her lungs out. "I... *huff* Felt some... *cough* Strange magic... *gasp* Nearby," she says and goes into a coughing fit.
"We're fine Twilight," Applejack replies to her.
"Yeah, I was trying to... Erm... See if I could make my kido stronger," I tell her.
Twilight frowns at me and her horn lights up. "*Gasp* This magic isn't yours! It feels... cold... empty, and I can also feel some other traces of someone else's magic!" she says in surprise. "So who was it!? And don't you lie to me again!" she then asks and glares at me.
I start sweating and look at my wrist. "Oh, would you look at the time? I need to go do the thing at the place!" I say and pick Orihime up bridal style.
"Ichigo! What are you doing!?" she yelps in surprise.
And before anyone could say another word, I use my shunpo to get away.
