Flying dynamos and robotic tails

Aege and Seth were just teenagers going to a convention. Then they became their cosplay characters. Read their shenanigans!

Aege and Seth were just teenagers going to a convention. Aege was cosplaying as Add from elsword, with three of each class token items. Seth was cosplaying as Rodea, from the yet-to-release game, Rodea the sky soldier. Then some random guy dressed as a famous merchant asked if they want the finishing pieces to their costumes. You really shouldn't trust a guy if he offers you a mechanical tail and working dynamos.

Chapter 1: I have a tail? SWEET!

View Online

This is the story about the weirdest thing to ever happen to us.

My name is Aege, although now you can call me Add. I was an orphan and the only time I ever went outside was with my best friend, Seth. Naturally, since I didn't go out much, I developed an obsession with video games. Also karate. I could literally kick down a brick wall by using energy. This may sound crazy, but I'm from an alternate earth. We know this perfectly well. Recently, we discovered we can use Ki. Like Dragon ball. Only better.

Today I was going to comic-con with Seth. I was dressed as Add, and he was dressed as Rodea, from some new game. I only had Seth's costume to go by with what he looked like. Then a merchant walked up to us, dressed as, you guessed it. The merchant. The omnipresent jerk (he really is everywhere) asked if we want the finishing pieces to our costumes. Like idiots, we said yes, and so he somehow drugged us, put the Dynamo controls into my mind and gave Seth a tail. And a mechanical body.

And then we fell through the floor. As we woke up, we saw that everything was all crazy, and a creature which was a weird mix-up of things walked over to us. Then the crazy pony princesses showed up (they looked quite human too), saw us with him, thought we were allies because he was talking to us (explaining what's going on and talking about his master plan to sacrifice himself so that people trust the princesses) and turned us to stone.

I woke up in stone 1000 years later, as I went into cryo-sleep due to being part mechanical (I had a control chip in my head for Dynamo controls). Poor dissy was awake the whole 1000 years and I wasn't sure how long Rodea was asleep. We told him about how today would be his escape, due to having watched that episode of the show. Discord became actually crazy and evil though after 1000 years, and didn't care about what we had to say.

Eventually, the cutie mark crusaders showed up, got in a fight and released him. They also made me sad by saying this about us.

Flashback: 3 minutes ago

"What're those things there?" Applebloom asked after seeing Rodea and Add (you got your speaking now. You happy?)

"Those creatures were called assistants of chaos. They helped discord to spread chaos throughout Equestria." Cheerilee said

*Cough cough* BullS*** *Cough cough* Seth, or rather, Rodea thought to the other statues.

Yeah, that is pretty BullS***. We just arrived and they shot us with a rainbow laser for talking to discord. I thought back.

Why didn't we just dodge the Deus ex rainbow cannon?

Well we were confused about why they were floating without using wings

So, what are my two 'assistants' talking about? Discord asked.

There's a reason why we block you out of our mental conversations, you know!

Is it because I'm too cool. And why don't I get good text colours like you?

What the what are you even thinking Discord?

Back to now

Discord had been freed, and so had we.

"We're finally out." I said, relieved that we were free.

"Well so is Discord, and I am flying right now so I'm pretty sure we have powers. Also, I have a gun."

"WHERE THE FU** DO YOU EVEN GET THESE THINGS? And wait, flying? Powers? Costumes? Are there dynamos behind me?"

"If dynamos are the floaty purple things, then yeah. There are." He said, eating a cookie.

"If I try to comprehend you, I think my head will explode." I stated simply. He was never this random. This was probably discord's influence, meaning he must have been awake in stone for longer than me. This was bad.

"Do you feel like attacking the pony princess?" I asked.

"No. Do you?" He replied simply

This was good. It meant that he hadn't been corrupted. Just then, we heard an explosion and ran over to it. Well, I just jumped on the dynamos and they glided and Rodea just flew.

"We should probably call each other by our character names to confuse enemies. Okay?" I questioned

"Got it." We arrived there at the scene where discord was about to he hit by the harmony beam but he teleported and grabbed the elements. He was about to send them out of the atmosphere with a charged throw, when he was suddenly struck by Rodea's tail and a dynamo.

"What is this?" He asked. His reply was The dynamos shooting out an electrical orb which exploded upon contact. Rodea quickly flew over him and I made the dynamos make a sword shape. The Dynamo sword was kicked into the air to Rodea, who swung down while rotating, like sonics jumps, only with a blade. The slash sent discord into the wall of the castle, and the elements were dropped in front of the ponies who were nearly killed by discord

"USE THEM NOW!!" Me and Rodea yelled to the ponies. That snapped them out of their trance and they quickly ran over, put on the elements and began to hover in the air. It looked as though the rainbow was made of pure Ki. They shot the rainbow and just to make sure, the rainbow flew over to us, as though it were judging us, before colliding with discord and turning him to stone.

"Justice has been served." I stated whilst high fiving Rodea. "Also, nice moves."

"Now, what are you and why did you help us?" The purple unicorn asked. I'm pretty sure she was the main character.

Our joint reply was "Crap."

I had watched a bit of the show and knew that the purple unicorns name was Twilight sparkle. The others were a white unicorn named Rarity, a cyan Pegasus named Rainbow dash, a yellow Pegasus named Fluttershy and two earth ponies, pink and orange respectively, named pinkie pie and applejack.

"Well, I am Add!" I proclaimed, both to myself and to the world, specifically the ponies.

"And I am Rodea!" Announced Seth

"And together we are... I dunno." We ended together

The ponies just looked at us, unamused, except for the pink one.

"I already know who you all are." I said

"Yeah, cause you're cartoon characters." Rodea continued

"What's a cartoon?" The ponies asked "And how are we characters? Is it like a book?"

This was gonna take a while

Chapter 2: SHE HAS A BOOK ABOUT THIS?!?!

third person

It had been a week since Add and Rodea had explained everything to the main 6. Twilight decided that Add could stay on the guest room in the library, and Fluttershy allowed Rodea to stay with her. Everything was going well since then. Rodea and Add fit in well with the ponyvillians and were known by everypony there.

*yawn* Twilight had just awoken. She trotted down the stairs and saw spike in the kitchen, making pancakes with Rodea.

"Morning, Twilight." Said spike and Rodea.

"Good morning, you two. Why is Rodea here? And where is Add?"

"Add's researching our situation. Didn't you notice the giant pile of books?" Asked Rodea

"Breakfast smells especially nice today. Did you change the recipe a bit Spike?" Questioned Twilight, not even bothering to think about how she didn't notice the pile of books.

"Rodea's teaching me how to make better pancakes." Said Spike

"Can you guys keep it down please, I'm trying to read!" Yelled a tired Add. He was reading a book titled 'The displaced'

"What are you even reading?" Asked Rodea.

"I'm reading a book which explains our situation. There's even a way to contact others."

"Whoa, no way!" Exclaimed Rodea

"Just get something which is a symbol of 'you'. We can also do it so that its one for both of us."

"That's cool. How about one for both of us."

"Now we proclaim our call which they will hear when they find our token." Instructed Add

"Already have something written down for both of us"

"Nice. I already created a token. Look at this"

It was four of this symbol, with a cog in the middle, looking like a plus

"That's pretty cool. Let's make this token thing right now!" Yelled Rodea excitedly.

"Kay, let's get to it."

"It's like they forgot we were even here." Said Twilight.

We are Rodea and Add, the helpers of good and destroyers of evil. If you hear this and call for us, then unless you are evil, you have nothing to fear. For good, help is here. For evil, You will wish you never existed. Simply call our names and we will be there!!!

Add threw it into a whole in space-time which suddenly appeared.

"Well, that was cool." Stated Rodea.

"I smell fire." Stated Add.

"The pancakes might be burning!!" Yelled Spike.

"It's fine, I put a temporary miniature time stop on it." Said Twilight.

"Oh, ok." Spike said once he calmed down.

Suddenly, they heard a crash and a roar. A bear walked through the hole where the door used to be and lay down on the carpet. It picked up a book whilst laying down and began reading.

"Is this a regular occurrence?" Asked Add, his mind sputtering.

Then physics began to start crying in the corner when the bear pulled out reading glasses from nowhere and put them on. They were pink with a laser (non burning) on the top in order to aim the bear's vision.

"Oh, that's Fluttershy's bear. He told me about how most people can't understand him because not everyone is the animal whisperer." Said Rodea.

"You mean 'not everypony'." Said Twilight

"No, I mean everyone."

"But the correct word is everypony"

"No. The word everypony is speciesism because you're only including ponies in it. Maybe that's why, judging from some of the books, Griffins and Dragons hate ponies. It's like saying that ponies are more important than everything else."

"*gasp* You're right. I have to notify princess celestia of this at once. It could stop a lot of hostilities."

"I just realised something, you guys are Anthro." Said Add.

"You just noticed?" Questioned Rodea.

"Well, I only noticed after seeing twilights giant rack."

Twilight snuck up to the arguing duo and pulled out a baseball bat before slamming it onto Add's head whilst yelling "PERVERT!!!!"

The strike was weak due to Twilight's physical weakness and Add didn't even notice any pain. Twilight realised this and picked up the bat with magic. The magic made the bat slam so hard that it shattered against Add's head. He wasn't fazed.

"What happened. I felt like someone slammed a feather into my head with 1% of their strength." Add stated, honestly.

But twilight didn't know that it was honest, figured that he was mocking her, and picked up a spare frying pan (luckily not the one which Spike was cooking with) and did the same thing, including the shattering part. Add fell down. Into the trap door to Twilight's secret lab. Luckily, the Dynamos made a pylon which they then teleported him to after creating a bed out of an energy net.

"Damn. How come he gets a free insta-bed? And how come his dynamos are kinda sentient? Why can't I do things like that?" An upset Rodea asked the universe. "Maybe I can upgrade myself in the lab. Yeah, that would help. Speaking of help, I should get some just in case I accidentally power off."

"Everyone, the pancakes are ready!" Yelled Spike. The thought of and smell of delicious pancakes instantly revived Add and he floated up on the dynamos.

"Dibs on pancakes!" Yelled Add.

"I call dibs!" Yelled Rodea at the same time.

"I get the first one!" Yelled Twilight with equal timing.

"I made them so I get the first one!" Announced Spike.
