As Kratos took his new throne on Olympus, Fluffy and Leonidas curled up on either side of the throne, panting happily. Calliope walked around, examining the new surroundings. After a time, Pinkie bounced up happily. Glancing around, her eyes suddenly popped. "Sis!" she said happily. "I think I can keep my promise to you now!"
Calliope turned to her. "Promise?" she asked, confused. With everything that had happened, the conversation Pinkie was referring to had slipped her mind.
"To get you a flesh and blood body!" Pinkie said happily. "Can I try, Zeusy? Please?" She gave Zeus her cutest begging pout.
Zeus struggled not to laugh. "While I would happily give permission for the attempt, matters of life and death are my brother Hades' domain. It is up to him."
"Hadey-wadey!" Pinkie called out happily. "Can I? Please?"
A somewhat wicked sounding laugh echoed. "Oh, let's talk about that, shall we?" Black smoke pooled on the ground, and an unfamiliar figure rose out of it.
His hair gradiated from dark red to palest green. His skin was blue, crisscrossed with red lines. His eyes were black pools with red dots in the center. His garb seemed to be made of a blue liquid which - like his skin - seemed to be in a state of flux between dissolving and reforming. Claws tipped each finger and toe. A rather creepy grin adorned his face.
"Mmm, so what was it you needed again, Pinkie?" he asked, his voice echoing.
Gods and mortals alike stared at the apparition before them. Kratos was the first to speak. "I take it Persephone has awakened?"
"Oh yes, Kratos," Hades replied happily. "You were right about dear Sephy having her own opinions about my look and attitude, and I must say I just love her tastes." He shivered happily all over. "So dramatic and wicked! Oh, and when she gets excited...well, maybe I shouldn't talk about that in front of your daughters. They're still mortal, after all...as far as we know."
Zeus finally spoke up. "Brother, your new look is the second creepiest thing I've ever seen."
"Only the second?" Hades complained. "What could possibly be-"
"Pinkie Pie in her rampage," Zeus interrupted.
"Oh, yes, that would be hard to top, wouldn't it?" Hades admitted. "Well, you can't win them all." He turned to Pinkie. "So you want to give Calliope a flesh and blood body again?"
"Yeppers!" Pinkie said happily, having decided that - as creepy as he looked now - Hades was still a friend. "So can I? Please?"
Hades' grin widened. "With a few provisos, I don't see the problem."
Pinkie tilted her head. "Provisos?" she asked, confused.
"Just a couple of little somethings Sephy and I would like in return," he promised. "That's fair, right?"
"Sure!" Pinkie agreed. "What would you like?"
"Oh, we both would oh so love to finally have a taste of your warm, moist, delicious cupcake," Hades purred, licking his lips.
Pinkie backed away a little nervously. "I-I need an adult," she stammered.
Hades laughed. "Oh dear, sweet Pinkie...I am an adult. But why would you need one?"
Aphrodite, sitting nearby, facepalmed. "Pinkie," she spoke up, "as naughty as that request sounded, I don't think it was innuendo. Have Hades or Persephone had any of your cupcakes yet?"
Pinkie scratched her chin, then gasped. "Ooooh!" she said as realization struck her. "Why didn't you just say so?" Pulling out two cupcakes, she handed them to the God of the Dead. "By the way, how's the Overworld home coming?" she asked.
"I hired the Pathos family to build it, once Persephone was awake to tell them what to build," Hades admitted. "Architecture isn't exactly my area of expertise." He put one cupcake away in the folds of his robes, taking a bite of the other. He then let out a rather creepy moan of pleasure. "Oh, I so see what you mean, Artemis! I think I just did, too!" Artemis turned bright red, turning her face away. This only made Hades chuckle wickedly. "Oh, dear Sephy was so right. Making the rest of you squirm uncomfortably is so much fun! A much better revenge."
"Revenge?" Zeus asked, confused. "What do you mean?"
"Oh, just because Sephy's happy with me now doesn't mean she doesn't still want to get back at the rest of you for making her stay with me," Hades explained. "Just because she's happy doesn't mean she's logical."
As Hades was speaking to the other gods, Pinkie had gotten to work. Pulling an ancient, rune inscribed tome from her mane, she had been reading through it as she drew a circle on the floor. Occasionally she mumbled something about "bad translations" or "missing ingredients". After a time, she finished drawing the circle. "Daddy!" she called out. "I need your blood!"
That got everyone's attention. Kratos, however, had learned long ago not to question Pinkie. Stepping up to the circle, he drew one of the Blades of Athena as he held out his other arm.
"Not too much!" Pinkie called out. "I'm gonna need to match however much you put in with an equal amount of mine!"
Nodding, Kratos cut his hand only, letting a trickle of blood into the center of the circle.
Pinkie cut her hoof, letting an equal amount of her own blood into the circle. The blood mixed and shaped a runic circle within the runic circle. "Okay sis! Stand in the center circle!"
Confused, Calliope clanked into the center of the circle. Alchemic energy surged, and the circle exploded.
"Don't worry!" Pinkie called out. "That was supposed to happen!"
As the smoke cleared, Calliope stood there, her body once more flesh and blood. Kratos could only stare. The same hair, the same eyes, the same smile...his daughter had returned!
There were a few unexpected things. For one thing, her body shape showed she had plainly passed through puberty, and had apparently gotten good genes from Kratos. This was only enhanced by the fact she was only clad in the top half of a plate mail, an armored loincloth, and armored boots. For another, the Blades of Chaos - now drawing power from Kratos - were strapped to her back, their chains wrapped around her arms, although there was no sign of burned flesh.
She also had pony ears and a tail.
"That was unexpected," Pinkie pointed out, glancing from Calliope's new ears to her new tail.
"I like them," Calliope admitted, rubbing her new ear.
"Quite fetching indeed," Hades replied. "Though it looks like your armored nature carried over." Raising a hand, he launched a ball of kinetic force at her.
Calliope instinctively raised her arm. The ball of force hit her arm, pushing her back slightly before dissipating. "I...barely felt that," Calliope pointed out.
"So she's Achilles but without the heel weakness?" Pinkie asked. "Wow, I totally didn't expect that!"
"Where did you get that book?" Zeus asked, staring at it in concern.
Pinkie glanced at the book. "...not sure..."
"Alright Alphonse," the young blonde boy said as he finished drawing the circle. "What does the book say next?"
The younger boy checked the book. He briefly noticed it looked different, but he was too focused on the task at hand. "It says...add sprinkles."
"...what?"
"That's what it says, Edward," Alphonse replied.
Edward shrugged. "...alright..." He added some sprinkles.
Shortly afterward, Edward was missing an arm and a leg, Alphonse' soul was bound to a suit of armor, and their mother - successfully revived - was giving them a stern lecture about messing with forces beyond their understanding. Later, she joined them on their quest for a philosopher's stone to restore their bodies.
Pinkie then jumped over to Hephaestus. "Oh, can I have some chain blades, too? Daddy's got some, Sis has got some...I want some, too!"
The smith god laughed. "Alright. What did you have in mind?"
"One for each hoof!" she cried happily.
Zeus, meanwhile, left to consult with certain entities about these latest developments.
In the Temple of the Fates, Lahkesis smiled as Zeus entered the halls. "Welcome, Zeus," she said, floating up to him. "What brings you to our hallowed halls?"
Zeus nodded courteously. "I come regarding the warning you gave me about my son, Kratos. I...do not see, given the current situation, how he might bring about the downfall of Olympus. Might I see the weave and how this will come to pass?"
Lahkesis frowned. "Something has changed, we know not what," she admitted. "Some force beyond our ability to manipulate has seized hold of the threads of Kratos and those closest to him, dragging them into new patterns. It even distorts the powers of the Oracles."
Zeus blinked. "Can that pink one have so much power?" he wondered in amazement.
Lahkesis rounded on him. "...what pink one?"
Bahaha, even the Fates can't see
why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunchwhat Pinkie has in store.The only question left, is how long it will be before pinkie accidentallys all of reality.
5853110 To be more precise I think the Fates can't even SEE Pinkie, the Oracle did mention earlier that she couldn't see pinkie's future or what she was doing whatsoever through her visions, so the same thing applying to the Fates isn't too surprising.
God damn Human Transmutation Circles

Sprinkles solve so many problems, but cause just as much.
Father won't be able to create the Lust hommonculus for some reason, I think.
I am not even halfway through the chapter, and I'm already laughing my a** off. THANKS FOR THE 6-PACK!
Good god, Hades. Y U BE SO DAMN PERVY?!
5853666 Have you seen what Hades is like in Kid Icarus: Uprising? He's the ultimate troll.
5854192 Looking up on google....5....4....3....2....1....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The pink one that you are going to order be killed, but won't because cupcakes(non disturbing) are the new deus ex machina.
ALSO!
MAKE A FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST ADOPTED WITH DIAMOND TIARA AND SILVER SPOON PLEASE!
5855021
Don't like FMA. Only included it for a joke.
Also, not a good match for them. Too much change.
5855044 Ahh... Hmm... Why don't you like FMA?
Also, how about a Harry Dresden one?
So, Calliope's anthro now? Hmmkay...
5855062
Too grim.
Don't know that show.
5855089
Actually, she's technically musume. Just has the ears and tail.
5855543 That's exactly why it needs ponies!
5855647
As in too grim for me to derive any enjoyment from watching it. Meaning I won't enjoy trying to add ponies to it.
ALSO ANTHROS FOREVER!
5855651 Don't you mean reading?
Also, how about a Master Chief one? With Scootaloo as his daughter?
And Sweetie Belle as the Dragonborn's daughter?
And Applebloom in some giant mech one?
5855661
Nope. Watching. It would be the anime, not the manga, since that would be easier to access.
Who's Master Chief?
Haven't played Skyrim.
See "Megas CMC".
oh boy cant wait its supa good
from where is this hades?
5855664 Master chief is from Halo: Reach series I believe
With things like this...I wonder if there will be events in other God of War series...or modified events anyway..."Copy-Paste" is not good.
Just read through this in one sitting at 1 am. Fantastic
5855808 Kid Icarus: Uprising.
5856246 thx.
That Fullmetal Alchemist reference was hilarious
AW SNAP! Thing just got heated up here! This is going to be so much fun! Heheheheheheheheh...
5855661 5855664 Skyrim would probably be a little wonky anyway, seeing as how The Dragonborn is more or less a blank slate with no predefined identity. You'd pretty much have to come up with one beforehand.
That said, I could easily see a pony cast into the role of Dragonborn herself, with various important NPCs filling the parental role.
Lydia the Housecarl: I am your sword and shield.
Sweetie Belle: Does that mean you're my mommy?
Lydia: Uh...
Jarl Balgruuf: Just go with it, Lydia. The horse slew a dragon and ate its soul. As long as you get her up to the Greybeards so they can figure this out, I say we humor her.
5862184
That...
That might be an interesting way to handle using Skyrim, actually. I'll keep it in mind.
5862184 BUT WHAT ABOUT MASTER CHIEF AND SCOOTALOO!?
Powering through this fic was awesome, made my sides hurt from laughter, and give out many a Daaaw moment.
There's this story im looking for. It was inspired by this story, but I dont know its title or the username of the author. Would you by any chance be willing to assist me in finding said story?
5864946
Wouldn't know how to begin.
"Hey sisters!" Eris, goddess of mischief, chaos and trolling entered the Fates above. For some reason, she looked like the Eris from a centain movie about Simbad.
"You! You did this, you brought the Pink one!"
"Oh, and what if I did?" Eris said and sticked her tongue out. "You know everything has to have a balance, and I had the right to pick my champion, like everyone, or should I say everypony, else?"
"She doesn't belong here, she will tear all reality apart!" The Fates roared
"No, she won't, plus she will be leaving soon." Eris said in a sad tone then pouted "How come I didn't get one of her cupcakes yet?"
5864946
Your best bet is to type a phrase that appears in the text within quotation marks and scroll through the results you get to see if they look familiar. Using advanced search to add tags might help as well.
Say that the phrase you're looking for was: What is man, but a miserable little pile of secrets? Then you should type "What is man, but a miserable little pile of secrets?". If you get even one word or punctuation wrong or type in the wrong order it probably won't work, though. Your chances aren't good but good luck. I found one story I was looking for this way but it took a week of searching.

If you read the books, you should know it doesn't work like that...
6018838
I read the wiki.
And sprinkles changed things.
Kekekekek, Pinkie is a mystery shrouded in shadow submerged in secrets topped off with Cupcakes. :D
6306192
Cupcakes??? CANNIBAL!
6306192 Awww...you left out the enigma!
5854192 Oh that doesn't even BEGIN to describe him...
NOOOO!! DON'T DO IT, PINKIE!!!
..wait. It's Pinkie so maybe it will work?
Well, that's awkward. Whatever works I guess.
I KNEW I WASNT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT OF FMA WHILE READING THIS!!!!
Seriously though, did anyone else think of FMA when Calliope's spirit was in a suit of armour?
7309043 Yeah but I didn't think he would he would reference it beyond that.
Does this mean a Kid Icarus crossover isn't gonna happen!?
Why am I not surprised that sprinkles brought the boys mother back in Full Metal Alchemist?
7157339 to be fair...pinkie did do this with the actual soul available unlike the elrics....oh...and a God tier armor.
The elrics on the other hand made Truth a pinkie pie cupcake....
8036358
On its own? If that were the case, Moony's story wouldn't have Wily in it.
Overall though? Who would work? We've already used UP all the winged equines of importance! Except for Celly, but that seems an ill fit to me.
So how badly did Pinkie just derail Full Metal Alchemist, anyways?
