-Equus, Tree Castle of Friendship (AKA Jaded’s great granddaughter Providence), Twilight-

I have a whole castle here in Ponyville, yet I never use it much personally and now run the one in Canterlot that Celestia was stuck in for a long time when not on business trips.

Thinking of Celestia, she must be enjoying her vacation time. She’s got years of it backlogged and could retire for the next three hundred or so years.

Starlight certainly uses this castle more than me at this point, it’s not a bad place for my friends to go if they for some reason lose their homes at the very least. Also most of Ponyville can use it as a shelter when danger rears its head, which was fairly often.

“So what’s the progress of making a safe path into Tambelon?” I asked of Starlight and Sunburst as I entered the room with the table.

“We’re basically done with figuring out how to randomize the one way portal to access into Tambelon, getting out is going to be the harder part. Now we’re waiting on Pom and the others to get into position before we can send in the much needed support, to that end Fluttershy has already procured a lot of food, medicine and medical supplies. In fact she talked to us about having Discord’s help with the portal randomization which is where we had a nice if odd breakthrough.” Sunburst was certainly on top of things. “Also recent news from Pom, they are entering a really dangerous situation that involves two worlds being in danger from a further third world and will be out of contact for a while. At best Pom’s group hopes to slow down an armies worth of trouble, said army can number in the millions. Though the quality for the ‘golems’ or ‘puppets’ that make up said army is pretty sparse as far as those millions are concerned, it’d be like spraying an anti-bacterial on a counter covered in bacteria. Except the bacteria will still have some fighting chance to make you sick and it’s all over your home and not just on the counter. Pom’s team being the spray that can only cover so much ground.”

“We would use a mushroom analogy, but people don’t like the idea of invasive fungus species… no insult intended to Pinkie’s latest guests of course.” Starlight grinned at the mushroom people sitting at the table.

“None taken, we’re actually quite laid back about a lot of things.” Said the creature called a toad, as in a living bipedal walking toadstool, apparently they come from a reality where green pipes sprout into other alternate realities constantly and the pipes grow like weeds everywhere. Thankfully we managed to stop an invasion before it could even get started, we’ll send the toad back home eventually.

“Hey, who wants a freshly baked slightly destroyed interdimensional tower pizza!” Sighing at Pinkie still thinking we’re in a weird off with Airship Mauled, I hoofed my face in exasperation.

Wasn’t Airship Mauled still a separate nation with in Equestria territory… I needed to have a long talk with Kuril La Perm. Over a meal cooked by her, because darn it she was good at making most foods, even if she couldn’t beat a pony in their given specialties.

Also I need Jaded to point out every other loophole in Equestria’s law system, because she’s really good at finding them.

The last loophole somehow involved buying three cups of banana pudding and becoming a Duchess in the hierarchy among unicorns from it. It has something to do with Chancellor Puddinghead, one of Pinkie Pie’s possible ancestors, managing to slip something by the unicorns in the past and it still being a valid law in this day and age. It only happened because Jaded was technically half Unicorn, which she is of course using against Saddle Arabia in some overly convoluted way. We just don’t know exactly how yet and I think Fizzlepop is getting some form of hidden amusement out of trying to figure out her bed warming cat’s latest zany scheme against an entire country. Hopefully it’s not political power related, because the war between Jaded and Princess Luna is still going strong after almost causing an international incident with the Thestral Ponies.

Anubis could work a little faster with Jaded as far as the therapy group is concerned, I was going to need therapy myself if I kept getting ridiculous notes across my desk about whatever someone did this time with a block of cheese.

Pinkie Pie was functionally rich because of said block of cheese incident, much to Discords surprise and he even gave her a thumbs up for that bit of chaos. Yet Pinkie is still leading a humble life as a party mare, is dating Cheese Sandwich and is apparently a super cheese entrepreneur that is now partially funding Agent Daring Do’s trips around the world for Rainbow Dash and is never going to run out of party supplies at this rate.

How is Pinkie the one leading the mostly normal life out of all of my friends?!

Sure Pinkie is personally weird, excitable and full of energy, but beyond that her life is generally normal when compared to my other friends. She’s a baker, a party planner and one of the happiest ponies I know with the simplest needs out of anyone, only she absolutely goes out of her way to be weird on purpose as if boring was anathema to her.

Well Pinkie did come from a rock farm so…

Applejack has been known for fighting tree-ants, treants, giant tree eating terra tortoises that might have migrated from the region where Airship Mauled is located what with their unusual megafauna and Narwhalkers are about to come into season again. Applejack has asked me if I could assist with setting up the Narwhalker deterrents. Timber Wolves are the tamest thing Applejack has ever had to deal with and they are magical wood wolves. There’s also rumor she recently beat up a hydra, but I believed that was more the Canis Minor that Pom raised. Still, she generally fights big monsters that bother her farm and wins.

-Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack-

“Now go on, get going!” I yelled at the hydra and they whimpered like Winona when she knows she did a bad thing and it quickly darted away. “I swear, some of the things I have to deal with these days to just grow the tastiest apples in Equestria.”

"Yeah, the nerve of those ten hydras thinking they could take the three of us!" Said older Equus Arizona while the younger Foenum Arizona nodded in agreement.

-Ponyville Castle, Twilight-

If anyone thinks what Rarity is currently doing is normal, then her becoming an international spy under my employ should tell you all you have to know about how her fashion business is going. She’s also doubling as a diplomat when Fancy Pants or Fleur can’t do it and they are also secret agents!

Can I get at least some form of normalcy around here?!

Also the fashion industry is a lot more cut-throat than I would have thought possible previously, the industry even had a strange tendency towards the spying trade and I could clearly understand why just thinking about all the costumes and disguises under the idea that it would be for a fashion show. Nobody would bat an eye at that sort of thing, also changelings were becoming very popular hires in the fashion industry... there was definitely correlation there.

Fluttershy and Discord is enough said about how normal Fluttershy’s life was, she even enjoys the chaos. Fluttershy seems like the most peaceful mare, until you see her do volatile chiropractic work on a bear who should learn to hibernate correctly.

If you even suggest half the stuff Rainbow Dash gets into is normal, she’s still Ponyville’s best weather mare, she’s also a Wonderbolt and she’s been moonlighting as Mare-Do-Well. She's fast enough to get away with doing all three things apparently. Is it any wonder Rainbow power naps as often as she does with all the exercise she’s been getting recently? She's more Filli-Second than Pinkie is from Spike's Power Pony comics.

“Right next order of business.” I finally said after taking a while to get back to Sunburst from my many thoughts about how weird life still continues to be. I thought things would slow down when I took the crown, not absurdly accelerate!

-Moon Cell’s Realm, Outer Layer, Cape, Dike Land, just outside of the seized Cape Castle, Pom-

Our counter invasion started with us successfully taking a castle at the top of a hill, on one side of a landmass already surrounded by water. The large walls were possibly holding back even more than the small sea around the landmass we were on and with a name like Dike Land, one would expect that the dike surrounding this place was probably going to be destroyed at some point by the time we were through here.

We were at one corner of the landmass that almost seemed to be close to being square or pentagon in shape and we were at one of the corners with our back to a metaphorical wall being the castle. North probably didn’t exist here, because the sun definitely hasn’t moved from being directly above the central landmass, but we were on the high ground at the very least and the sprawling city below us was generally compose of simpler one or two floor buildings of wood and stone.

Another thing to note about the supposed sun was that it was slowly turning into a moon, goodness knows what the night around here is going to be like.

After the most recent wave of APs fell in battle, not like they could feel pain or understand much aside from what at they were doing for us aside from the simple commands given, Frizzle charged the enemy with Dazzle riding on her back wielding a flaming whip in her left claw as he right held onto the rather resplendent mane that came with the new transformation.

After the charge Jeanne D’ Arc immediately dove into the fighting assisting the two who charged along with the less injured Hakamo-o.

The poison version of Growlmon was rather devastating, if spitting acid bombs and having a caustic enemy decaying aura didn’t give it away. Dazzle was at her safest covering Frizzle’s back and giving her support.

“I’m starting to realize how much Digimon are like their partners in some ways.” I know Dazzle used to be more fearful and a little shy, now she’s a bit more outgoing and open.

Talking to someone who would listen regardless of whatever was said was a nice pick me up for Dazzle’s confidence and Frizzle was generally quiet because of her voice anyway, so it made it easier for her to listen to Dazzle talk about what the kingdom of Viperia was like and or other things.

After going to Nixtorm with Quetal and seeing it for myself, I had little doubts that Viperia can be as bad a kingdom, but I’m sure there was still some good there too. Nixtorm wasn’t all bad, we had some fun there, aside from the near death experiences and Fou coming after me.

In battle Frizzle and Dazzle were fierce, hazardous to their enemies and quite dependable as friends go.

Canard and Sami shared similarities in being innovative and capable. Both surviving their revolutions, both survivors of incredible circumstances that could roll with the punches and were willing to help even if it would put them in the line of fire. There was some awkwardness between them, but they were working together very well close up and far away.

Dormarch and I had only started to get to know each other now in person, but I’m guessing he was going to turn out a lot like me… he already did the self-sacrifice thing once and barely had the inkling of a chance to come back from that.

I’m horrified at the idea that he will do it again, he must be under a lot of… ah… he is like me.

“Yep, different, but similar in some ways!” Sami stated as she had apparently left the other Commandramon on the castle walls to join us in the field personally and was likely here to cover Canard. “Yggdrasil System is usually good about finding partners for Digimon, one of the few things that you can absolutely trust about the system. When it's not causing huge world ending incidents.”

I think my getting Dormarch was more of a circumstantial incident that put him in my hooves and the PET becoming his digivice.

“What’s wrong mom?” Dormarch asked as I was just standing here at the top of the stairs as another pack of spawned Saber Knight APs moved past us to continue going on the offensive.

“Those walls for one…” I said as I glanced as the gigantic white walls surrounding the entirety of the place we were in had me shivering a bit. “We probably won’t survive if Moon Cell sends someone to flood us out.”

“That is a concern, but any captured territory can be used to keep the water out if they do bust the dike surrounding Cape. So if any part of that wall breaks down, retreat to a safe area, that being any territory we already currently have a hold of.” Well at least that was one concern taken care of Dormarch, I still had many others. Like what if Moon Cell sends a Servant that wasn’t so easy to take out after us?

“Come on, let’s go take the square Pom, we can worry about a lot of other stuff later!” Dolly wanted to get in on the action and was only sticking around for me.

“Even if that do be happening, water is being no problem for me!” Shanty shouted before she tumbled down the stairs towards Frizzle’s rampage, entering Bouncing Blades as she did so and started to tear up the enemy in the square in a bouncing blaze of cutting arcs.

Favela and Dodo were soon down the stairs assisting her in their own unique ways. The other Pokémon companions were also getting into the fighting, with the exception of Lit who stayed with Dolly, Dormarch and me.

They continued to try and clear the way to the PLANT in the square. Said PLANT was hovering right above the decorative fountain there. Canard and Sami went down the stairs next, the covering fire from the other commandramon was fairly helpful at prevent the Assassin Reaper EPs from getting to me and they only seemed to be focused on me.

Dolly and Dormarch were looking to me, waiting patiently for me to move forward. I sighed and figured I got enough of a break.

I hefted the paranormal lance back into my hooves from my wool, then started down the staircase slowly with Dormarch at my side as Dolly grinded along ahead of us on her board using sloped side of the staircase.

“Do you think the digital world will be okay, it looked pretty bad when we passed through?” You should be asking the digi-bots that Dormarch.

“I don’t know, but you could ask the four digi-bots with us about it when we take the square. They were apparently fighting in that mess before they joined us here.” I was going to hold the base of the staircase and the digi-bots were going to come down soon enough to start an offensive. “We’re kind of in a dead in with limited supplies and our backs to the wall, which is something to be worried about.”

“You’ll be the one to worry about them and might even think of some things we might miss.” When we got to the bottom of the stairs I held the lance in a defensive position and watched as the battle continued, I got my first glimpse of the Lancer Guardians.

The Lancer Guardians were defending their PLANT fiercely, but Jeanne was getting closer to achieving a victory the more she fought them.

“You don’t always have to be on the front lines mom.” Yeah, but you had no clue Dormarch, how much I was resisting the need to rush in and help.

I couldn’t go away from this if I tried, but I could move towards it.

Six to three Jeanne and the two Hakamo-o were showing their prowess with the banner spear and their bare fists, but what Jeanne was really doing was luring the Guardians away from the PLANT so that…

The PLANT was soon pummeled with numerous shadow copies from Quetal and Mundo finished it off with a flying press from above. One would think Mundo practically created the blue shockwave that ripped through the area himself, said shockwave buffeted me and everyone else lightly. The EPs hit by the shockwave went flying and were destroyed.

“See! Okay, that makes the plaza square our territory… hold on a bit.” Some new APs appeared and they were Guardian Lancers, sharing a similar motif to the Saber Knights as APs. There was now far more Saber Knights too. Those of us who weren’t APs gathered at the fountain in the plaza and Dormarch started to talk, while the APs went about defending us against other waves of EPs. “We have gained enough territory that we can put up some defenders and have some APs go on the offensive at least, we need to capture two more areas and we’ll have the trifecta of sword, spear and axe. We have three territory zones from here, central, left and right from our facing and there’s more territories beyond that and at least one last one on the far side that will be the last one we get to. There are a number of PLANTs in each territory… as in more than one.”

“We have our work cut out for us then, well let’s get to it!” Canard called out and looking in the given directions Dormarch pointed out.

“Anything else we need to know before setting out?” Jeanne asked as she looked at the new PLANT taking the place of the old one.

“Yeah, if we lose a PLANT, we lose our territory and we’ll be the ones hit with a shockwave. It’ll be more damaging for digital beings and it’ll just knock down those who are biological. So that means Sami, Frizzle and I need to be careful.” We only have two spots of territory Dormarch, so really we needed to defend this one.

“So we need people to hold each territory?” Jeanne asked looking to Dormarch as the expert in this situation, he probably was.

“No, APs will do that well enough on their own, but they won’t hold forever if they become overburdened.” Dormarch looked at one of the spear wielding APs with concern. “If Moon Cell sends a servant, they can take down most APs easily and can possibly even deploy their own. We might be able to get some assistance from the NPCs, but they might just as well ignore us and continue about their business.”

“NPCs?” My query and questioning brought Dormarch around to me.

“Necessary Policing Computations, they are like the people around here that we might be able to interact with and are meant to keep things stable. The ones that aren’t EPs aren’t going to do any fighting for us like an Allied Program will unless they choose to do so and they are not going to be fighting us unless we attack them first, even then they won’t have much strength compared to the EPs that are made for fighting. They are closer to neutral parties, but I doubt Moon Cell will really let them act against it.” Well if we see anyone that matches that description Dormarch, we’ll leave them alone then. “If we for whatever reason have need of them, I can at least ask that they perform their primary function and that’s about as much as I would ask. In some cases that just might be helpful for us.”

“I’m having a hard time following this, but these neutral parties are not to be attacked and can be helpful to us in certain situations?” Jeanne wasn’t the only one, none of us were technologically savvy and we were in a technology based world that Digimon thrived on navigating apparently.

“They won’t look like EPs normally do, so if you see any NPCs, then direct me to them or them to me, just to see if we can figure out what they can do for us if they have a particularly useful function.” There was a pause after Dormarch said and everyone looked between me and Jeanne as the APs fought off a wave of EPs coming from the three neighboring territories of left, right and central.

“So which way do you think we should push first as a suggestion?” It seemed Jeanne was going to rely on Dormarch for an idea of what to do first.

“I can’t say which would be the best way to go, but I can at least direct the APs to focus on a specific area to start the process of bringing down.” After some thought Dormarch pointed down the left and right lanes. “I’d suggest going left or right, because going for central lane territory would be putting you between either of the sides in a pincer.”

“Hm… no I think Central will suit us just fine actually. Send all the APs you feasibly can down the right path while leaving enough to safely hold the square. We’ll attack up the center first and will draw the enemy from both sides. If we draw any from the right, the APs might even deal with the PLANT.” Jeanne stated with a look in her eyes.

“Good idea, but… our APs can’t really destroy PLANTs on their own or take territory by themselves, they can hold it perfectly fine. The EPs don’t have that problem, which is a minor disadvantage for us that is easy to overcome.” Well that was nice to know now instead of later if we had to rely on them to attack a territory. “Someone just has to be there to take down the PLANTs in the area, but otherwise the APs can weaken a PLANT enough to the point that tapping it would destroy it, they can also weaken the areas in general, provide distractions and or walk into possible traps for us without having to sacrifice anything.”

“Same plan then with a slight change, Shanty can you Dodo and Favela handle the right side? We’ll leave someone here to defend from the left.” After saying that Jeanne looked to me. “Will you protect our backs so we have a path to retreat to?”

“I can do that easily, Dolly will go with Shanty and Dormarch will go with the rest of you while I stay here. They can communicate with me if you need anything from… home base I guess. They can just as easily call me if they need help too.” An easy back line job… it just felt odd that I wasn’t rushing straight into the jaws of danger. I was a little worried about Shanty, but she’ll have Dodo and Favela with her. I’m just kind of glad that the world didn’t revolve around me having to take action this time, I can leave most of the defense to the APs and jump in when needed.

Jeanne and everyone else took towards the center path, Shanty and Dolly waved to me cheerfully and went off to the right path and I moved over to be pointed at the left path while leaning against the fountain.

I was staying well behind the APs defending us. Dormarch sent most of the APs we had down the path Shanty was taking, we only had Saber Knights for offensive purposes really. At least we now had Lancer Guardians for defensive purposes.

Silently sitting down, I watched as the defensive Guardian APs rebuffed a few of the incoming EPs with their spears, both sides took each other out pointlessly as more defenders just spawned in nearly immediately or a few seconds not too long afterwards.

That meant I wasn’t needed to defend immediately at least as Lancer Guardians would be created within the immediate vicinity, the EPs were limited to the location they came from and the problem was the same as if we were on the offensive with our APs.

It would take some travel time for the EPs to come and attack us again from the left as everyone else pushed central and right.

-Some time ago, far side of the city, ???-

“So here I am… Moon Cell says there’s a problem with a rogue servant, well I’m bound to fix it!” I said as I hefted an anchor and grinned. I was in no hurry, it’s been a while since I was summoned to be my Rider self. “NPC’s Army Summoning, Lancer Sahagins, form up! No need to field Moby Dick quite yet despite it being on offer, the problems isn’t nearly that big here.”

Several amphibious looking bipedal programs with a fish motif popped up around me all wielding tridents and looking all scaly.

“Doesn’t seem to be much happening in the city… huh?” A blue shockwave appeared and I blinked as a section of the city became the territory of the rogue servant, well that’s just odd. “Guys set up the mobile PLANT here for yourselves here and start getting an eye on the situation before attacking, hide in the waters and strike when you have the advantage. I was summoned here by Moon Cell because I was the best choice for the battlefield.”

The bipedal fish men followed my orders without a second thought, always nice to have such powerful goons on command.

As a Rider I needed something to ride don’t I? Well don’t I have the perfect way to summon my ride!

“Totsugeki!” I shouted and a dolphin popped from the summoning circle of water and carried me on a wave, I would be going through the sea route to the plaza square to see what was going on here.

“Come on Mr. Dolphin, let’s see which servant is causing trouble here and ask them how they managed to separate themselves from Big Old Moony!” I grinned as I rode Mr. Dolphin into the sea of Dike Land, Cape gave a water creature Rider like me all the advantages and I raised my anchor, named ‘Bohemian’, high with a feral grin.

If things get really bad, provided someone could even beat Moby Dick or all of my smaller summons, I could always just call in Leviathan!

-Right path from Cape Castle, Shanty-

The APs were being fairly helpful, but I can’t help but be feeling as if I was going to be missing a pirate fight somewhere. Eh, probably nothing, but I was beginning to be getting a sixth sense for these things.

Dolly seemed to be excited and ready to get into the fight and looked perfectly fine with leaving Pom safely behind in the square.

We soon came upon our first PLANT and it was spewing out the heat axe Viking guys, well that wasn’t being good for me or Favela, but I be guessing Dodo, Dolly and the APs can be handling them.

“Favela be taking the back, stick to range with these guys and don’t be getting hit!” Central Path was going to be being much worse as they’ll be dealing with central and left at the same time.

-Central path from Cape Castle, Canard-

“What are the chances that the enemy will get by us and at Pom?” If there was one thing I knew, Pom wasn’t very lucky and she had been nearly killed multiple times over the past year.

“Pretty good, but I’ll know if mom gets attacked by someone dangerous at least and I’ll duck out if she’s in trouble.” Which was helpful for you Dormarch as you could basically teleport, do it straight up high into the air and then to where Pom is and you’ll be able to be on the enemy in no time to back her up. “One Servant already went after her first with a stealth attack, so why wouldn’t another? We need to capture more territory and take Cape, before Moon Cell really starts sending some real trouble after us.”

“We’ll try to carry on without you in the case that happens!” With a heave a slashed the hockey stick upwards to bisect a humanoid figure that tried to get me coming from an alleyway, the fireball was also slashed in half.

“Caster Mages, look out for fireballs or any other forms of magic!” Dormarch called out as a caster mage appeared from behind us out of a portal. “Ambush from behind!”

When a ball of lightning struck Dormarch a golden flash occurred, kind of like the ones that happened with Pom, which caused the lightning bolt to bounce off and fry one of the Caster Mages. The other Caster Mages immediately changed targets and I had to slash the fireballs out of the air, which was easy and was only possible because of my new weapon.

-Plaza Square, twenty minutes later, Pom-

They were already running into trouble, it seemed that Shanty was meeting EPs she wasn’t good against and the Caster Mages were teleporting in and firing off elemental magic attacks. Also I just learned that Dormarch has my anti-magic capability, it’s strange that Dolly doesn’t have that… but I could give it to her if needed to I guess.

The Guardian APs fended off several incoming waves of a variety of generally generic EPs, mostly Saber Knights, a few rare Lancer Guardians being used on the offensive and one or two Rider Horns I had to block.

Thankfully the Rider Horns mostly took themselves out with their own momentum when I held the Paralance out while open and locked myself in place with my wool.

I heard a loud splash and a shout, the castle was generally surrounded by water so something coming out and landing before me wasn’t entirely unexpected if there were EPs in the water as well that could attack from there.

It was a blue scaled bipedal fish person on a dolphin, they were wearing an orange hat with a large skull symbol on it, an orange hoody, black fingerless gloves and some black shorts. Coming from under that hat was a bunch of colorful brown tendrils like that of a jellyfish that looked to be her hair. In fact her entire appearance made her resemble a jellyfish

“Hey, there! You’re certainly something unusual here…” The girl said as she glared at me from atop her dolphin generating water to float in the air. “Oh, you must be that rogue servant Moon Cell wants me to take care of, you even got a legendary weapon and everything so I have to be right!”

Ah, this was going to be one of those things, a terrible misunderstanding that is completely in our favor… with the unfortunate caveat that the servant Moon Cell sent was more dangerous than she truly sounded. Also she likely wouldn’t be reporting that I was not in fact a Servant or that a lot of people infiltrated Moon Cell’s world.

I wasn’t going to drop my guard around the childlike fish girl, especially not when she can heft an anchor that large around to point it at me with little effort.

“Call me Rider Totsugeki, of the Jellyfish Pirates!” That high pitched whine of the word ‘Totsugeki’ was joined by the dolphin she was sitting on squealing. That likely wasn’t her name given I know some Neighpon words, learning second languages was hard unless you were invested in it. “Something is telling me, no… something is urging me that I really have to kill you like yesterday!”

“Yeah, Moon Cell hates my guts.” After a flourish of the paralance, I opened it up above my head and waited for her to make the first move.

“It should, because you really made Moony angry and if you got them angry, then you got me angry!” The dolphin disappeared into a circle of magic and left the fish girl grinning with sharp shark like teeth at me, before asking in a clueless voice. “So who are you again? I mean name? I wasn’t told what servant I was supposed to be facing, but I know I was called to deal with a Caster at least. You don’t seem to be wearing robes or overtly magical, but you certainly seem scrawny enough to be one, you look more like a Lancer to me though with the way you hold that spear.”

“My name is Pom, can you please go away and say you won the fight?” The demented look I received was telling me no, I was going to have to deal with an anchor wielding fish girl with what I’m assuming is super strength.

…

“Do you really expect me to let a bad ewe like you go after you turned on Moony, no way, Moony wants you destroyed and I’m going to do what Moony orders!” She pointed her right index claw at me while putting the weight of the anchor entirely on her left shoulder with her other hand, showing no discomfort whatsoever. “Mostly because I don’t have much of a choice anyway, I really don’t want to be deleted myself. You know how it is, well I guess you don’t because you got free somehow since you might be a servant I am after or you might be something entirely separate, even if you aren’t the servant I’m after you definitely have a priority kill order at the very least. Oh well, sucks to be you… Dodomezaki!”

A portal appeared and an otter with claw gauntlets shot at me at high speeds, I narrowly blocked and flicked the otter away from me with the paralance and into stone of the fountain in a painful manner.

Yeah, this was going to be a thing that Shanty would have preferred to deal with.

“Get ready to ‘sea’ what I’m capable truly of!” The shark jellyfish hybrid girl shouted that pun eagerly with a devilish grin.

Given that she had summoned a dolphin and an otter from out of nowhere, I already had an idea of what to look out for.

I think my getting Dormarch was more of a circumstantial incident that put him in my hooves and the PET becoming his digivice.

It's cute that you still believe in coincidence. How many gods have been doing this on purpose by now?

[Booster Spice]

Oh dear. Poms having to deal with a Squidling using Gate?

As for Pinkie and the big cheese, has she met Horace the Pictsish Cheese yet or is it going to her head?

[Alchemik]

What's Moon Cell done to May?! Take her out Pom! While no one deserves to be under the thumb of whatever Moon Cell is, I like May. She's cool!

Or does she come from an anthro world in this instance? That'd fit, actually, but doesn't change the need to remove Moon Cell.
