PREVIOUSLY IN ATOP THE FOURTH WALL


A small Grey robot floats in a room and says...

"I’ve told you, We didn't need an atomic powered vacuum robot, but you never listen…”

In a sarcastic British voice… This statement was aimed at a clown dressed in a garish suit, with a rainbow wig and a red nose on his actual nose… of course he replied by honking a blow horn twice

“No, I don’t care if it is tax deductible, it’s not needed… the Cybermats do most of the cleaning here anyways…”


AND NOW THE CONCLUSION




When we got here, we met two mares, a purple one known as Twilight Sparkle, the orange one Applejack. In her head, Twilight thought that visiting her new friend in a non-world ending scenario would her assignment of studying friendship her mentor Princess Celestia had given her.

Sadly, fate conspired against her, as an unidentified object came crashing down near Sweet Apple Acres, and as both friends joined the cloud of dust emitted from the impact, it dissipated enough for the mares, along with Spike, to see a creature different from anything they had known.

"W-what is it, Twilight?" 

Applejack asked, panicking at the fact that neither of the mares knew what to make of this creature.

"I... I don't know, Applejack,"

Twilight said, but unlike her countrified friend, Twilight was already scavenging her brain for a creature she could identify it as. The closest she got was a dragon, but all of it's features were wrong; no scales, brown coat in small patches on the body. It had the shortest mane Twilight had ever seen in an ebony color. She identified a head by the mane which held no muzzle and small eyes, a smaller nose and mouth, and it had arms. Instead of claws attached to those limbs, it instead had soft-looking stubs at the end. They protruded from a blue area, where the claws would normally be, and the upper area was covered in what seemed to be green and white clothing, the lower half red. It was layered like clothes until near the end of its frame, where two small patches of white appeared in an unfamiliar shape.

"Still, I'm preoccupied as to why this creature is here," 

said Twilight, pausing only to look at her audience before continuing. 

"It seems as if it was almost... thrown from beyond the sky." 

Twilight thought on how Rarity would react to this, in her terms, catastrophe of a color palette, as all of the colors seemed to clash with one another. Twilight's musings were cut short as the creature suddenly got up, its body adopting a strange posture. Then, the skin below its nose parted open, revealing it had a mouth,  and let out the most horrifying screech a pony in Ponyville had ever heard. Then the creature's eyes opened wide, wide enough to make it seem as if the eyes would burst out. This was a short occurance, though, as beams of white light burst out of it's mouth and it's eyes, the blaring scream still emitting.

“Get clear everypony!”

Was heard above the deafening roar of the creature, the warning coming from Spike. Then light enveloped the thing in the crater in a semi-transparent bubble that shifted colors; first green, then white, then red. The unthinkable ensued as all three bystanders watched the creature in awe. It seemed to phase out of its "clothing" and change it's body shape. The creaking of bones could be heard as the body underwent an extreme makeover, shifting to look more like a pony every second.

"Twilight, is it... is it changing?" 

Spike asked as the body continued its morph, it's stature becoming more like that of a pony's. It's eyes had grown to an Equestrian-standard size. A spire formed from it's forehead, ending in a sharp point. As the mares were distracted by the body's main metamorphosis, Spike was the only witness of this. Feathered wings extended from its sides, bigger than the size expected for a normal pegasus. The thing was slowly becoming an above average pony.. no, an above average alicorn. An ebony tail extended from it's rear... the newly formed stallion floated inside the crater, extending its wings as it took to the skies, expelling energy that took vibrant hues of green, white, and red, that formed a column that Twilight thought would be visible from Appleloosa. Twilight, had a familiar feeling. She had encountered this kind of power before when she hatched Spike, only it seemed to be somehow less potent.

"Is... Twilight, is that an alicorn?"

Applejack asked, feeling slightly invigorated by the array of colored magic. The magic expelled into the shape of the mythical Sonic Rainboom, but without the explosive sound that followed it. Little did the mares know that the spectra coated most of Ponyville, even reaching up to Fluttershy's cottage. The alicorn lookalike levitated to the ground and lay on the clothes that it had discarded.

"W-we... should take him inside," 

Twilight said, avoiding the question, as the alicorn rested… millions of questions forming in her mind as she looked to the newest Alicorn, not noticing much of her surroundings as she was lost in thought.

"R-right, let's take it to the barn."

Applejack agreed, looking around… no mare noticing the faintest glow fading from spike as the mini rainboom dissipated “safely”.
