Princess Celestia, immortal ruler of Equestria, was currently in the private Royal Chambers. Normally she hated this place, but the recent turn of events was worrying, and when the guards saw that their ruler was worried, they only increased security and prevented visitors from giving her news.
Twilight Sparkle has sent me news that the explosion was quite large, large enough to free Discord if it had been at the palace. We are lucky that the location of the explosion wasn’t here.
Still, what caused it? I have never seen an explosion of its like before now.
A familiar WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOOOOOOP-DUN interrupted her thoughts.
This was one unusual visitor she was receiving. A brown Earth pony with an hourglass cutie mark, who hand no proper name, only a title of sorts.
“Hello, Doctor Whooves.”
“Hello, Celly, you’re looking well.”
“Please. You don’t have to lie.”
“Well, right-o then. You look as if you went three rounds with a dragon to me, if you want the truth. Anyway, I didn’t come all this way to make small talk. Something has made contact with the TARDIS, and it requests a world leader to talk to. You’ll have to see it yourself.”
By me, if it is another feeble invasion attempt, I swear to myself, I WILL banish them to the moon.
“Alright then.”
Mayuri was cackling.
A world of ponies existed- far apart from all the alternate universes that he had been thinking of. The fact that he had contacted one of them on a random frequency was just another stroke of luck.
And now he was going to talk to the leader of a whole different dimension. Him, Mayuri Kurotschuchi, was talking to a god.
He was dragged out of his reverie with an incoming call. Opening the relevant channel up, he quickly came to terms with this ‘goddess.’
It was white, with a long mane that was mainly a faint green, with a streak of pink in it. It was moving, despite the fact that it was indoors. It seemed to be the same height as a normal horse, and there was something about the shape of its muzzle that caused him to think of it as a female. Its intelligent purple eyes were looking at him in a fashion that reminded him of Unohana- the look that said, While you might not be my own child, you are a child before me. Curiously, it had wings and a horn protruding from its head. That was interesting- the one he had talked to before had appeared to be a pony from his dimension- maybe there were separate species?
Celestia felt a faint disgust at the creature she was seeing, but hid it from his prying eyes.
It was no pony, that was for sure. It was obviously bipedal. It wore a simple, loose black shirt and pants, with a poufy purple collar. A white lab coat was worn open, allowing a pink hilted weapon to be sheathed near his groin. The body that she could see was white coloured, with a black ‘mask’ painted on his face. Its fingernails were painted blue, and on his right hand, the middle finger had an exceptionally long nail- about the same length of the finger itself. It wore an elegant face-framing gold headdress of some sort, with a long extension down resembling a beard. Its mane was arranged into two horn-like curtains about its face. If it had ears, the headdress protected them. Its teeth and eyes were golden, and it looked at her in a curious fashion. Celestia had only seen eyes like that on Discord- the feeling she felt off of them was you are nothing before me. You are a microbe. You may be spared, or you may be killed, but you have no choice in the matter.
Being civil before it was going to be difficult, but not impossible.
Just think about stabbing Prince Blueblood with his own horn, and you’ll be fine.
“Greetings.”
Exactly like Unohana. She greets me cordially even though she cannot stand me. Well, I must be civil back.
“I am very busy, so let us get right to business. You must want to know why I established a dialogue with the ruler of this dimension.”
So abrupt… he must have noticed my loathing of him. He must be used to it.
“Why did you contact us?”
“Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have contacted you, but three test subjects of mine have gone missing and I cannot form a portal to your world to pick them up. Have there been any signs of them?”
So, he’s a scientist. If they escaped here, even if it was an accident, he will know I am lying if I try to cover it up.
“Yesterday, there was a large explosion in the Everfree forest, if that is any help.”
Hmmmmm… she’s not lying, but that doesn’t help me much. It is still informative as to where they are.
“Well, thank you for your time. I will contact you if there is any lead as to me travelling to your dimension.”
“Yes, please tell me anything about it.”
The screen turned off on both ends of the conversation.
Princess Celestia shuddered. Freeing Discord would have been preferable to talking to … that.
Mayuri was seething with rage. A HORSE had just condescended him to! Someone (Nemu) was going to suffer for this conversation.
“I HATE THAT CREATURE” was shouted out loud in two different universes, to no-one’s attention in particular.
