> Six Gems (Volume 1) > by Blondlionezel > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Celestia and the Sorcerer Supreme > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- On a battlefield filled with death and shattered hopes, one shall gain the Six Gems that will give him the power of a god. The Six Gems all represent something, as they were created by Eternity. Their names are Mind, Power, Reality, Space, Time, and Soul. Many tried to use their powers individually. Every time, each group failed. However, one being was able to united all six gems. They were given to the ones who control magic and wings for safekeeping. Until now... On a quiet and chilly day, Princess Celestia was preparing some tea. She was expecting a certain guest to arrive. Princess Celestia always loved to have guests over for tea. She was also making Tea Sandwiches and Tea Cakes. As soon as the tea was done, a portal opened from another world. Princess Celestia smiled as a man stepped out of the portal. He had a black beard, black and white hair, pale-ish skin, blue eyes, a blue and white suit, and a red and gold cape. “Welcome to Equestria, Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange” Princess Celestia greeted her guest. “Please, call me Doctor Strange” Doctor Strange responded in a very calm voice. Princess Celestia knew him for a very long time. She was there when he became Sorcerer Supreme, the title of one who masters the art of black magic. “Please, sit down. Do you want some tea?” Princess Celestia asked Doctor Strange. “Yes please” Doctor Strange responded kindly. Princess Celestia then went and poured some tea for herself and Doctor Strange. “So...did you feel that strange pulse?” Princess Celestia asked Doctor Strange worriedly. “I have. I sensed six different pulses” Doctor Strange answered. Doctor Strange, being the Sorcerer Supreme, has the ability to sense magical surges and pulses. “Then my fears have been confirmed...” Princess Celestia sighed as she gave Doctor Strange a cup of tea. “Do you think that those six gems...I can’t remember their names...have the same powers as the other ones?” Doctor Strange questioned Princess Celestia as he sipped his cup of tea. “I’m starting think so” Princess Celestia responded worriedly. Doctor Strange had never seen her so worried before. “I think that it is time to bring our heroes into your world” Doctor Strange requested. Princess Celestia knew what he was talking about. There is a team of heroes that live in the same reality that Doctor Strange comes from. “Alright, you can bring them in...” Princess Celestia gave a worried answer. Suddenly, Twilight Sparkle entered the room. Twilight Sparkle looked around and saw Doctor Strange and Princess Celestia. She knew that something bad was going on. “Princess, you called me here?” Twilight Sparkle asked her mentor. “Yes. I need you to open some portals for some special guests” Princess Celestia told her student. “For whom?” Twilight Sparkle questioned Princess Celestia. “You will see, my student” Princess Celestia responded. > Chapter 2: The New Avengers > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Rogers woke up in the middle of a grassy field. He had his Captain America with his unbreakable shield laying next to him. He quickly changed and saw the town. “Where the heck am I?” Captain America thought aloud as he looked around. All he could see was rainbow-colored ponies for miles. He had never seen anything like this before. “Hey Cap! Where are we?” Tony Stark asked Captain America, while putting on his Iron Man armor. “I honestly have no idea...” Captain America responded. Suddenly, a pair of ponies approached Captain America and Iron Man, one pink and the other white and purple. “Guten tag!” Pinkie Pie greeted Captain America and Iron Man. “Who are you two?” Rarity also greeted Captain America and Iron Man. “I’m Captain America, and this is my friend Iron Man” Captain America answered. He had never seen two talking horses before. “Well, I’m Rarity and this is my friend Pinkie Pie” Rarity also answered. Captain America and Iron Man exchanged glances with Pinkie Pie and Rarity for a few minutes, until Twilight Sparkle saw them both. “Hey! Celestia wants to see you at the castle” Twilight Sparkle told Captain America and Iron Man. “Well then...last one there is a rotten egg!” Iron Man teased as he flew to castle. “Okay then...” Captain America chucked as he began to follow Iron Man. A few hours later, the duo had reached the castle of Princess Celestia. They had never seen such a beautiful but odd place in their entire lives. There were pink and white walls, decorated with flowers and hearts. Guards in gold armor stood watch on the balconies. “This place looks like a little girl’s dream come true...” Iron Man commented as he chuckled a little. “Well you wouldn’t be wrong!” Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, responded joyfully. “We were brought here by someone named Princess Celestia...” Ant Man aka Scott Lang chimed in. “And some of her servants brought us here...” Yellowjacket aka Henry Pym added. “I was brought here by somebody named Rainbow Dash...” Hawkeye aka Clint Barton responded. “And I was brought here by an orange pony named Applejack” Wasp aka Janet Van Dyne added in. “Did anyone else come here?” Captain America asked Captain Marvel. “Well...all of them” Captain Marvel pointed to a small group of heroes, which includes the Human Torch aka Johnny Storm, Black Knight aka Dane Whitman, Tigra aka Greer Grant Nelson, Living Lightning aka Miguel Santos, and Quasar aka Wendell Elvis Vaughn. “Wow...they brought a decent amount of heroes...” Iron Man commented quietly. “Welcome to my castle!” Princess Celestia greeted her new guests with great joy. Her guards began to blow their ceremonial horns in joy. “Where are the others?” Hawkeye asked Princess Celestia. “They are being recruited by Princess Luna, Cadance, and Shining Armor as we speak!” Princess Celestia answered. “Why did you bring us here?” Ant Man asked Princess Celestia. This caused Princess Celestia’s face to go from ecstatic to glum. “A great threat is upon us...we need your help to defeat a powerful being named...Thanos!” Princess Celestia declared. > Chapter 3: The Injured Stranger > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, Fluttershy was peacefully tending to her garden and animals. Fluttershy was the kind and gentle sort, who tended to abandoned and hurt animals. She was tending to a small mink when the quiet was shattered by a loud bang! “Huh? What was that?!” Fluttershy jumped in fear. She decided to muster some courage and look around the wreckage. All she could find was a small ship and a large, purple, muscled man with red eyes. “Help...me...” The man asked Fluttershy with tears in his eyes. “Oh my...” Fluttershy gasped as she pulled the man out of the wreckage. “Thank you...” The man thanked Fluttershy before he became unconscious... A few hours later, the man had awoken in a pink bed with fluffy covers. He didn’t know where he was, and if he was even still alive. “Oh...you're awake...” Fluttershy noticed as she walked up to the man. “Where am I?” Asked the man. “You’re at my cottage. I take care of injured, sick, or abandoned animals. My name is Fluttershy” Fluttershy answered. “My name is Thanos...” Thanos responded. “Well it’s nice to meet you, Thanos” Fluttershy greeted. “Say...do you know where I can find six gems?” Thanos asked Fluttershy. “Six Gems...no, I can’t think of any...” Fluttershy responded. “Then have you seen my gauntlet?” Thanos questioned Fluttershy. “Oh yes! I found it near the crash site, and I’m glad I found it!” Fluttershy answered. She walked out of the room, picked up the golden gauntlet, and returned it to Thanos. Thanos looked at her and smiled. “Thank you” Thanos thanked Fluttershy. He then put on his golden gauntlet and began to walk out of Fluttershy’s cottage. “Your welcome...” Fluttershy responded to Thanos. “Say...are you sure there aren’t six gems around here?” Thanos asked Fluttershy one last question. “No...but I know where to look!” Fluttershy responded, “The Golden Oaks library!”. “Golden Oaks Library? Where is that?” Thanos asked for directions from Fluttershy. “I can take you there” Fluttershy told Thanos. “Well then, shall we go?” Thanos asked Fluttershy. A few minutes later, they had reached Golden Oaks Library, which was also Twilight Sparkle’s house. Thanos began to look around, rummaging through books and binders filled with magic and incantations. Fluttershy was looking through a book on parrot care. Suddenly, Thanos found a box that had six gems inside of it. “I found them!” Thanos exclaimed, giving off an evil laugh. “You found what now?” Fluttershy asked Thanos nervously, before gasping in horror. “I found the Infinity Gems!” Thanos declared as he put the Infinity Gems into his Infinity Gauntlet. “Stop! Those are the Elements of Harmony! You can’t use those!” Fluttershy told Thanos. “What will you do about it?” Thanos chucked as he blasted Fluttershy with a ray that transported her back to her cottage. “Why am I back here?!” Fluttershy worriedly asked as she felt a pulse of pure dread. She then went back to the Golden Oak’s Library to find Thanos, but he was already gone. She had to warn the others. Meanwhile, back in space, Thanos had reached his dark, crimson lair. It was a gloomy place, filled with relics of death and destruction. “I did it...I found them...” Thanos declared as he placed the last Infinity Gem on his Infinity Gauntlet. A surge of galactic powers had begun to flow through his body, giving him Omnipotence...
