Confrontation

Author's Note:

English is not my first language, in fact, I write this story in Spanish and I pass it through the google translator, who does 99% of the work. I fix basic mistakes with pronouns and hope for the best. If you see something wrong, please tell me and I'll edit it :)

Pain can't believe it. At one point he was in a normal meeting of his organization after Sasori's death, and the next thing he knew he wakes up in equine form.

His real body, Nagato, is still in his home dimension. He is not sure how he can continue to receive chakra from him while in another universe, but he has no need to find out. He will quickly return to his world, he just has to ask the mare. He needs Yahiko, Konan, Madara and the organization in the ninja world, he will not allow any more delays when they already went into action with the assassination of the Kazekage. Another Pain could summon Deva, but that wouldn't solve anything.

"Jashin will make you pay for this, heathens!"

He sometimes wishes that monstrosity were mortal. Pain closes his eyes as he listens to the purple mare taking a step back.

"They already woke up Hidan."

At least they still have chakra. He is pretty sure that he can do his jutsus if he tries. The fact that Kisame and Deidara were able to inject chakra into their companions to wake them up proves it. In this universe, sapient beings appear to have a version of the chakra called "magic," an energy that, while he can still feel it within Twilight, is essentially quite different.

Pain opens his eyes and calmly turns to look at his subordinates, and he wishes he wasn't used to what he sees.

A white pony, who he assumes is Hidan, finds himself fistfighting and screaming with Deidara as Kakuzu angrily watches. Kisame and Itachi are quietly talking to each other, as are the very recognizable Zetsu and Madara, further removed from the group. The latter shoots him a look that lingers for a good two seconds, and Pain knows he wants explanations. Konan is already walking towards him.

Twilight Sparkle gasps audibly behind him, followed by the sound of flapping wings. Pain looks impressed at the flying horse. Of course, he had already noticed the feathered wings on either side of the pony, but seeing her fly is strange.

He shuts off outside voices when Konan reaches out to him, always expressionless.

"Deidara told me about the situation," she begins.

"He did." Pain expected that, because that way Deidara would help nobody go crazy or think that they are in a genjutsu. Now he won't have to explain it. "We can return immediately, we just need to ask Twilight Sparkle, the purple mare." Konan briefly turns to inspect the aforementioned.

"And why don't we do it now?"

"I was about to do it, but those two started fighting."

"Should I stop them?"

Before he can respond, a voice full of anger draws his attention.

"Really?! Then you are the witch who turned me into an animal!" Hidan growls, standing up menacingly slow. Pain realizes what is about to happen, something that he cannot allow, not at the moment.

He notices that Konan next to him also knows, as she looks expectantly at Pain. He starts walking in the direction of the trio.

-----

Twilight almost regretted bringing these strangers when she had to intervene in a fight, seeing that Pain, their leader, would do nothing. Almost. The alicorn flies quickly to the duo.

"Do not fight!" She exclaims with concern at the jumble of orange and white that are those two ponies. She is especially worried about Deidara, who has stitches on his chest and arms. She also notices that one of his elbows is a shade darker and redder than the rest of his fur.

The white pony and Deidara stop in the middle of their skirmish entangled in hooves and feathers when they notice the mare. Twilight lands, but her wings remain outstretched.

"What is the problem? We can fix it if we just talk about it," she offers, kind and expectant. She is a princess for a reason. If all of these ponies know each other, then they might have friendship problems to solve.

Deidara makes an incredulous face as his partner snorts loudly. "Just what we need, now the heretic horse believes that something more than Jashin can really solve problems."

"... Heretic?" She expected many things from creatures from another universe, but for some reason not that they had cults.

Deidara pushes him away from him with his hind legs. "She can, you idiot. She was the one who brought us here in the first place."

"Really?!" He turns sharply and his purple eyes pierce her, full of anger. "Then you are the witch who turned me into an animal!"

Twlight gasps in outrage, and she can feel the anxiety rise as the stallion slowly rises to his feet, almost like a stalking predator.

"Hidan," she hears from her right, it sounds like a dangerous warning. The alicorn turns to look at whoever that talked, and she gasps in horror when she sees a large stallion with reddish-brown fur and a long, gray mane, each strand looking like ropes because of how unkempt it is. But what surprises her is not that, but the fact that he is covered from head to hoof with lines of suture.

"Shut up, Kakuzu." The earth pony propels himself on his legs, about to leap like a tiger in ambush. Twilight spreads her wings further and ducks down, preparing to dodge him.

"Almighty Push!" she hears next to her, and suddenly, the white pony screams and flies violently to the side, like a rag doll, until he collides with the wall with a painful noise.

Twilight quickly turns to the pony who did it. She finds Pain with a hoof raised in the direction of the white pony, as if he had pushed the air.

"H-how ... How did you do that? You are an earth pony!" Sure, earth ponies have a special kind of magic in their hooves that helps them with farming, but it's not supposed to work like that.

The white pony groans as Pain looks at her for a few moments. "What?"

Twilght is incredulous, but she processes the situation. If there aren't any ponies in their universe, or they didn't know them, maybe they don't know the difference between the types of ponies.

"Earth ponies aren't supposed to be able to do magic like that," she explains, waiting for a context from the contrary as she turns to look at the pony that attacked her, attentive in case he tried something again. Fortunately, he's just watching them warily as he rubs his head.

"Apparently, despite the transformation, we still retain our version of magic called chakra, and therefore we still have our powers."

Now that sounds really interesting. But Twilight wants to figure something out first.

Suddenly, she directs her attention to the stitched earth pony, earning confusion on his part. Twilight inhales and lets her expression reflect her concern.

"What happened to you?!"

She hears Deidara snort and the brown pony frowns deeply, but Twilight can't focus on that when his mouth seems huge and only closed by threads in a grotesque sight.

"It's none of your business." It's blunt and Twilight can sense the threat beneath the words, but it doesn't assuage her concern for the stud's health.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"No."

Twilight makes a doubtful noise.

The beautiful white pegasus from before catches her eye as she walks up to face her, her expression as blank as Pain's.

"Miss Sparkle, we have unfinished business. Can you send us back now?"

Twilight feels her blood freeze. How the hell did she not think that she would have to return them. How the hell did she not think of it? Now what is she going to do? Her guests would be forcibly there and Twilight can see how immoral it is.

Suddenly, everypony in the room is staring at her. Those who were separated, approach step by step having listened to the request of the mare.

"Yay! We come back home!" Highlights a unicorn with a short black mane and dark gray fur with a large white spot covering the right side of his torso and his entire right arm. He wears a strange orange swirl mask. The hippogriff chuckles.

Twilight gulps. "Ahem ... The thing is ..." she avoids everypony's eyes as she begins to play with her hooves.

They all lean toward her in anticipation. Twilight drops the bomb.

"I can not."

And suddenly, the chicken coop explodes.

"Then what are we going to do, hm?!"

"Nooooo, we are stranded forever! I'll stay in horse shape! I won't be able to eat dango anymore if I don't have fingers! What nails are we going to paint?!"

"Jashin-sama will punish you, bitch! You've cursed me, prepare for the same deal when you least expect it!"

"I don't even have Samehada ... We can't stay."

"I have too many unfinished business where I come from to waste my time here. I can't even use any money I get in this universe. We need to go back."

"At least these 'ponies' look fun, hahaha. I don't think so, so many colors are going to burn my eyes."

"Hn."

"What's on your mind, Pain?"

A single word from their leader stops the noise. "Akatsuki!"

Deathly silence fills the room for a while, but is suddenly interrupted by the sound of the door opening, giving way to a small purple dragon.

"What is that ruckus?!"
