I should never have bought that Astro switch! Now I'm on the moon with nightmare moon and after putting up with her for a thousand years I just hope what damage control I did holds out because zoidarts are appearing and it's up to me to stop them.
My name is Jack, Jack Seraph. I'm just your normal guy at least until I met that shady shop owner while cosplaying as Kamen Rider Fourze. Now stuck on equestria or to be exact the moon just as nightmare moon gets placed there for a thousand years. Let me tell you having nightmare moon as a roommate for a thousand years was a experience. So yeah long story short I kinda ended up keeping nightmare moon under control and fixed up the whole eternal night problems. The result? Luna is quite devoted to me to the point of being very very defensive. Doesn't help I am pretty much her therapist during our time on the moon. I really shouldn't have bought that Astro switch. Oh and did I forget to mention it's a humaniod version of equestria? My life has just gotten harder.
Space. The mysterious void our world exists in. Many have wondered just how this existed or if it even did. And space has its own form of energy. Cosmic energy a power that is strange and unpredictable. Only two people have safely used this power to save the world one of them being revived in one case by the cosmic energy. And I am one of them.
My name is jack saraph. I'm your ordinary 21 year old man normally seen in a blue suit with brown hair in short spikes and pale midnight blue eyes. But today I kinda looked like a astronaut.
I wore a mainly white bodysuit with two orange lines on the chest and had black trim on the sides with a bit of silver to go with them. Mounted on the back was what seemed to be a thruster like jetpack. My arms were in bulky white guantlets with the right arm having a indent of a orange circle while the left had instead a black square. Similar boots covered my legs with a yellow triangle for the left leg and a blue cross for the right instead. Covering my head was a cone like helmet which had a large black visor much like a real astronaut helmet except for the small v like crest and the orange bug like eyes it had and resembled a rocket in shape. The neck area the helmet covered was silver and much like actual space suits was sealed air tight. Around my waist by a silver strap was a transparent blue belt buckle with a screen in the center and had four red switches two on each side plus a large push lever on the right side. Loaded in were the basic four Astro switches from the series rocket, launcher, drill and radar. Taking a deep breath I headed out on my working replica of fourze's motorcycle the machine Massigler.
I was going to a convention and it was going to be my first one. I had actually went all out with my costume and I even had the kaban strapped to my bike holding all but the cosmic Astro switch. I heard some people had vanished from conventions but I was sure they were just rumors.
Wow convention centers are big aren't they and so many shops are set up too though as I'm going alone and it's my first time I got lost very easilly. I was currently standing before a shop that was pretty out of the way being quite in a clear area. It had various random items on display and the shop keeper looked ... a lot like darkrai? Huh pretty convincing costume completely realistic.
Let's see there was what looked like cloud strife's weapon from the advent children movie, a pokeball, a xros loader, a pretty good replica of the hunters garb from bloodborne, and wait is that the cosmic switch? By nocturne it is! Huh looks like it's pretty cheep too. Oh hey I can also get the pokeball as well neat! Let's see five dollars for the switch and 15 for the pokeball that's 20 dollars right there! And lucky me I saved up close to seventeen hundred dollars for doing various odd jobs for five years. Gotta pay the bills right. Oh hey I can also get the hunters garb for just 120 dollars neat. Though on hand I got about a fifth of my savings to use so I had 340 dollars on hand that leaves me 200 left. Let's see what else is here? Oh that's interesting I spotted a model kit of the powerdizer the support mech of fourze which was only 15 dollars and is that a plush animal of a wyvern? Oh it is and it looks epic for a stuffed plush toy. Black with blue membrane. It's about 3 dollars understandable as these plush toys are fairly easy to make. Well that seems to be everything so gathering them I headed to the counter for purchase. I got the feeling the darkrai merchant was amused that I was going to buy about a third of his stock. Place wasn't that big after all. Taking out my wallet from my kaban and showing him my Astro switch collection missing those on my belt and cosmic in the process. I was surprised he didn't make a fuss about my motorcycle.
"Well you seem to have a good eye for detail rider. Are you sure you can afford these" asked the merchant and luckily I had a helmet as turned out 'Darkrai' was a woman so my blush was hidden. That was one good costume if it masked the gender just right.
"Eh I can I did a lot of odd jobs for the past five years got to pay the bills right. Let's see if I added the price right. $158 total right?" I asked pulling out the exact amount.
"Yes that's correct let me ring them up for you" said 'Darkrai' with a nod. When she did so I payed the amount and lifted the bottom of my kaban to place the outfit inside then replaced the switch storage to it and placed cosmic in its slot band placed the pokeball in between four of the switches. The plush I placed next to it and turned to the shop keeper.
"Do you mind if I build the model here? To save space in my kaban you see" I asked and she nodded interested in how I would do at it and I got to work assembling the model with my model tools I placed in my kaban which was why I asked to build the model there was a bit of space left because of the tools. After five minutes of focused work the surprisingly show accurate mech was complete. I placed it in tower mode and put it and my tools away and closed it.
"Impressive timing for that one usually it takes about a hour to build one of those" said 'Darkrai'
"One of the odd jobs involved a load of model kits. The guy payed me to help him build a thousand of the kits in time for a show case and a museum on robotics. Building 1000 Gundam models gives you quite the experience to do this kind of thing. Compared to that this was easy" I said and i could have sworn the visible eye went wide on that mask. Wait it did! ... now that I think about it I don't hear the shop keepers feet. The floor was tile not carpet so I should have heard her footsteps.
Slowly I tilted my head down to see legs that was way to thin and ended in points hovering a slight inch off the ground since the counter was more like a desk for a office building and a register in place of a computer. Rising my head eyes wide behind my visor I took a deep breath and stared at the revealed actual real pokemon legendary right in the eye.
"Does palkia have anything to do with you being in my world miss darkrai?" I asked as well that particular legendary had the power over space and thus dimensions. I wouldn't be surprised if he could create portals to alternate universes.
"Uh no I was just asked to handle the shop by someone while they were out. But I will admit that you figured me out quick not many can tell so fast" said Darkrai with a impressed tone.
"I thought you looked a little to realistic plus you forgot to keep your feet on the ground and make them resemble human legs. Only amputees with peg legs can make their legs look like that but then there would be a slight bulge showing where the false limb is to the actual limb. Yours was to smooth to be natural. As the legendary involving nightmares and shadows I know you can alter your body like it's made of shadows" I deadpanned and by my tone she realized what my expression must be.
"Good deduction I knew I was forgetting something" said darkrai with a wince as she looked down. She pulled out a dusk ball.
"Here. For not freaking out about meeting me and showing a quick reaction time with logic I'm sure you can keep this safe I'm trusting you big time with this" said Darkrai seriously handing it over and I realized with a start that it must be HER duskball. Wow I was given a huge honor of holding on to the pokeball connected to a legendary. Wait then what happened to the trainer she used to have?
She sensed my question and sighed.
"My last trainer... left me and hadn't returned and it's been 1700 years since then but I kept my pokeball in good condition. gaining the ability to travel worlds was interesting. But I would feel better if I knew my pokeball and thus me was safe" said Darkrai.
"Right well I won't let you down I don't mind if you come visit I would like to hear about what you experienced" I said with a laugh knowing that this wasn't something to pass up. To hear the adventures of a actual Pokémon was awesome!
"I'll take you up on that... why is your belt and bike glowing?" Asked darkrai blinking.
I looked down and felt as if something was entering me and darkrai narrowed her eye.
"Odd I'm feeling dimensional energy similar to palkia's ability" said darkrai confused and I went wide eyed.
"Uh oh" I gulped.
"What" asked darkrai.
"I heard rumors that some people vanished at conventions and haven't been found. I think whoever your minding the shop for is one of the sources of the rumors" I said and before we knew it I vanished with my bike leaving a wide eyed and shocked legendary to stare at where I just was.
"Oh when that guy comes back he's getting a dream eater! Seriously pulling this stunt is one of the bounds legendary pokemon take offense to. Let's see if he will like hahing to explain to palkia why he is abusing dimensional abilities!" Said darkrai already writing a report before sending it to the spacial dragon. She heard the guy she was helping return and turned to glare at the guy who resembled a resident evil merchant.
"What's with the glare" asked the merchant seeing a third of the inventory was sold.
"Let's just say I heard about some interesting rumors and that you might be the cause. People vanishing without a trace perhaps?" Said darkrai and the merchant felt a chill run down his spine. Turning the merchant got a face full of sleep powder and then six dream eaters at once. The merchant learned a very important lesson. Never piss of a angry female ledendary Pokémon who can report you to a angered spacial dragon god who knows a god in a multiverse cluster as its creator. You won't like the outcome.
I groaned as I came to and blinked as I found myself in what seemed to be the rabbit hutch. It looked bigger almost twice as big as the version from Kamen rider fourze. There was a second floor with a loft near the west wall and the lab portion actually looked like a lab and the testing part was definitely roomy enough at least. My kaban was open with the switches scattered with the powerdizer missing and it looked like the wyvern was now alive and was a baby. My bike was leaning on a wall. Standing up I felt my eyes go wide as I saw with the exception of the basic four and about three astro switches and the ns magphone the other switches were stone. Putting them in the recharge panel for now was a good idea and I picked up the pokeball which was shrunk. It was then I realized I was dressed in the hunters garb I bought with the fourze driver on. I still had the duskball as well Also shrunk. Before I could look at the loft I felt something crash into me from above.
"Ouch/gah!" I said and I heard a feminine voice say as I found myself face first on the ground.
I could feel something feathery on my back and what felt like a horse tail or something on my back but something about the tail felt off.
I groaned as I tapped the floor and quickly felt whoever landed on my get off. Standing up and popping my back into place again and dusting myself off ni turned to regard the person who appeared. I went wide eyed at seeing a humaniod pony in a blue dress with black fur and had both a horn and wings looking arround in shock. She also wore silver armor around her torso, legs and arms as her star like mane and tail moved without a visible sind. Her draconian emerald eyes were confused at where she found herself. It was the emblem on the hips of her dress that finally clued me in to where I was and when. I was on equestria's moon when nightmare moon was sent to it for a 1000 years. Shoot.
Maybe I can do some damage control here.
"Where am I and where is that damn Celestia!" Asked nightmare moon.
"If I'm correct we are on the moon. And trust me your not the only one having a bad day today" I said catching her attention.
"My moon! But why would the elements of harmony place me here! And what are you doing on the moon!" Asked nightmare moon in shock and curious about me I guess by the expression she made at me.
"Im not here willingly either, some guy running a shop sold me enchanted items that I didn't know were enchanted. As best I can guess it was dimensional magic as I doubt I'm in my own universe. This place here seems to have been created by the magic as I was yanked across the multiverse. In a way you and I are in the same situation here. My world normally doesn't have magic at all. Unlike you I can't breath In space hence why this place exists. You arrived here a minute after I did" I said and I didn't blame darkrai for what happened it seemed she was as surprised as I was. Same with nightmare moon as it made sense as summoning does deal in dimension magic.
But to diliberately send a unknowing civilian to another universe was just dispicable. And despite wanting eternal night she was still a princess who has to look after her subjects.
"Oh right where are my manors my name is jack seraph" I said realizing we haven't introduced ourselves.
"Nightmare moon pleasure to meet you" said the corrupted alicorn nodding to me.
The wyvern landed on my shoulder and nuzzled my face.
"And I guess I should name you shouldn't I how does nocturne sound" I said to the dragon on my shoulder. She (don't ask why but I felt it was a she) smiled and nodded before going to my pocket and falling asleep.
"What is this place for?" Asked nightmare moon curiously as she looked over the design.
"The study of cosmic energy. That's as much as I know about it. So you know how I got here but why were you sent to the moon?" I said acting like I didn't know so I can get started on damage control.
With that she told me how she became nightmare moon and what led up to her getting banished to her charge.
I deadpanned before face palming now recalling why damage control was needed.
"Eternal night? Luna have you thought this through at all? What about the concinquinces of that. Night is cold compared to day how would you prevent the place becoming a frozen wasteland? Even if you prevented that what about crops they need sunlight to grow you would be causing starvation. Plus the fact your night only effects half the planet at all times you would burn the other side of the world to ash. Your subjects won't be able to survive that kind of disaster to even appreciate your night. Can't do anything if the world is on fire or frozen" I said clearly trying to stave off a headache and the nightmare transformed alicorn froze horror on her face showing she did not think things through.
"That can happen?" Asked nightmare moon slowly and when I nodded she found her legs couldn't support her anymore as for the first time since her decent she thought through if she went through her eternal night plan.
I sighed knowing I'm going to be giving her therapeutic sessions for a while to get over this realazation. Unnoticed by both of us my body gained a faint glow when I went to pick her up and pull her to her feet.
The source seemed to come from my driver. And so I began the damage control and therapy which would mark my start in history even if we missed the two clocks with a digital date on the east wall. One had the date 2/18/2015 to show the date I was taken to this world, the other started from zero.
Well the time I been helping luna overcome the realazation she gained about her actions was going well. Nocturne even helped out by giving her something to cuddle for a bit. Though there was a disturbing thing. She was still in the form of nightmare moon. Even she was worried about that and I used one of the scanners on the lab to check out the problem. What I found wasn't good.
"Great this is not something I expected" I said rubbing my face as I looked at the results of the scan.
"Luna because you are directly connected to the moon you took on the symbolic aspects of it as well. That means that your body has cosmic energy alongside your magic which gives you quite the lifespan. The same kind of life span as the moon itself. And that means there are sides to you that reflect this connection. Nightmare moon is like your dark side just as there is a dark side to the moon. When you went into your mental breakdown you ended up corrupting some of that cosmic energy and until it's purified your trapped into your darker side. In a way your a bit like a zoidarts. A construct of negative cosmic energy. I explained that the astro switches have cosmic energy to them but there also exists a kind of switch much like them. Astro switches are positive while zoidarts switches are negative. Complete opposites. Right now you have equal positive and negative cosmic energy. Like magic cosmic energy is influenced by emotions. This is the reason why your stuck in that form. Your negative emotions while you don't feel them right now have influenced your cosmic energy and need a external source to get back to normal. Like the elements of harmony you told me about" I said.
"That makes a lot of sense and explains why alicorns live for so long. So I am stuck like this until I can get back to my sister to get me free of this dark cosmic energy" said luna a wince on her face at having to be stuck like this for quite some time.
"Yes speaking of which how long have we been in here anyway?" I asked before my eyes caught something on the wall where I found the two clocks where a panel had flipped over under the earth time one to show the current date under my arrival date.
I felt my jaw drop.
"200 years! But how! Humans normally live at most a century and I was 21 when I arrived here! How am I still alive!" I said in shock as luna followed my gaze and considering I told her all about my world's history with the help of the tech in the hutch she was just as baffled as me.
"You said magic and cosmic energy combined allows alicorns to live a long immortal life right?" Asked luna.
"At most that's what I think happens to explain your lifespan" I said as it was just a theory as we both knew.
"Is it possible for cosmic energy in someone to connect to the magic of someone else" asked luna.
"Considering one of the people that I know used cosmic energy in the past Litterally got stronger with friendship it might very well be entirely possible" I said.
"Im starting to think your cosmic energy is connected to my magic giving you my lifespan in a much direct way" said luna nervously as a thought occurred to her.
"But the only cosmic energy I can get is if i use the astro switches and the driver on my body" I said as surprisingly there was footage of every kamen rider I knew of in the database so I told her the history of kamen rider as well.
"What about when your just wearing the driver? It must still use cosmic energy stored in it to run" said luna as I had to admit she was right the drivers power source was cosmic energy. I doubt I actually took it off at all.
"Well it does use cosmic energy so you think that it altered me in some way?" I asked with a worried look to the driver in question. I tugged it and the belt vanished leaving me to hold the device and Phew nothing happened no rapid aging which I feared was a possibility as the driver might have been sustaining my life force. Turning the cosmic energy scanner on me I learned that my body was producing cosmic energy on its own and that the driver was regulating it and keeping it in check. At least until I learned to control it myself.
"Definitely altered great so I have cosmic energy in my own body now. Going to be a pain in the neck to learn how to use it without my driver acting as a kind of control valve. So far it looks like besides making me durable and slowing my aging down nothing much about me has changed at all. Good thing too I don't want to know if it changed my personality at all" I said seriously.
"Jack just be glad you have the chance to figure it all out can you imagine what would happen if I was stuck here after your death?" Asked luna relieved to know she won't snap from being all alone.
"Good point well better get started on learning to control this I don't want to know if cosmic energy build up has a negative effect on me as it looks like the amount of cosmic energy in my body is still going up" I said and thus we spent 500 years helping me to learn to control the cosmic energy in my body and as we did I now noticed nocturne was growing to about now big enough to reach my waist. And I learned that cosmic energy had effected her to allow her to breath out in the void of space. Luna always took the chance to give nocturne exercise on the moon when we found this out and I went as Fourze too as I had to get used to the fact my costume became real and that yes I was in a different world. And turned out there was a pokemon in the pokeball I bought which to my amusement was zorua the trickster fox dark type. Shape shifting was interesting as seemed cosmic energy also effected her to allow her to talk and actually change elements. I figured out nyxne (pronounced nixine) had gotten a power set trait of fourze specifically the states change. So she had a electric form, magnet form, fire form and a full out cosmic form.
As a result I trained the little fox to be my support in battle as I knew it was a matter of time before zoidarts made their appearence.
I couldn't help but be drawn to luna. I was surprised both of us got used to luna in her nightmare form something about her in this state just felt right in the time we been here. I spent some training in using the astro switches I had but like gentaro I couldn't use the ns mag phone for magnet states. I didn't have the requirements met. That was to say I didn't prepare for later threats. I was working on other astro switches using cosmic energy to create a system to act like the elements of harmony only under different names on space terms. Stratos, gravity, flare, mercury, shuttle and nebula.
Stratos was for rainbow dash and I made a turbine themed driver for her to use. Gravity was for applejack and her driver was based off a black hole in design as those things had strong gravity. Flare was for Rarity and her driver had a solar base as flare was short for solar flare. Mercury was for fluttershy as I couldn't think of what trait of space would fit her best but she is easy going and for the most part keeps her kindness at her core like cold metal so her driver resembled that. Shuttle was for pinkie pie as her optimistic personality was a good sheild for fear and can uplift others moods. Her driver resembled a rocket shuttle a bit. Nebula really had to be perfect for Twilight as her name sparkle really made it to good to pass up. Her driver looked like a galaxy in terms of design. Luna was a bit surprised I built a rider version of the elements and I had to point out she wasn't connected to them anymore and neither was her sister so new bearers was to be expected.
"I made these as a back up plan for if the new bearers can't get the actual elements for some reason or had to give up the elements for good. I enabled a dna lock so only the new bearers can use these systems and implimented one for my driver. When I have time I can make one for you just in case. I found the blueprints for the other driver used in the original fourze's time the meteor driver which will help out as meteor was skilled to go even with fourze. Drive said something that I found to be mostly true. Riders help each other" I said as like luna knew from my rider history lessons not all riders were good.
Together we just lived for our remaining time in here and I wondered what exactly were the stars that aided the original nightmare moon the version crazy from being lonely to escape. That never did really make sense to me. Oh and we learned nocturne can shrink back to size she arrived in so she can hide on my person. Looking at equestria we saw four lights heading our way and I blinked finding things to be insane already. The 'Stars' turned out to be moon based astro switches and I could feel Luna's signature in them. I turned to her an eyebrow raised.
"How did you make these luna? I can feel your signature in these and it looks like they existed since you were taken here. did the elements fragment some of your magic and cosmic energy into these" I asked a teasing smile on my face even as I recalled nyxne.
"I think so they must be the keys to what is keeping us here" said luna blushing at my tease as after we knew each other so long it became fairly normal.
"Just be careful Ok for all we know someone made a prophecy out of what history remains about you and anyone taking it seriously would think your about to cause eternal night still... oh I just thought up a good prank to pull on your sister if that's the case" I said as I told her what the prank was and if we pulled it off luna can be returned to normal. I pretty much went with luna acting out the Canon timeline for this as hey better to keep it as much as I can as twilight and the others were important for the kingdom's survival. With that we went to equestria with me using a stealth cloaking device I built to hide me from everyone until luna returned to normal. Though I was prepared for if zoidarts decided to interfere.
I shook my head with a hidden smile as luna acted out the prank going as the isolation crazed nightmare moon after sending Celestia to the sun for a bit. I took the time to see how the mane six and Spike looked in this world. While humaniod the easy to spot traits I was familiar with was reasurring. Applejack definitely looked the part of a farm girl. Pinkie oddly wore her human counterpart's exact outfit. Rainbow actually wore a blue bodysuit with a white vest over it and wore white boots. Twilight was in the outfit she gets in the human version of equestria. Rarity wore a distinct purple silk dress while Fluttershy looked at home in the green sweater and tan skirt combo. Spike wore a white shirt and blue shorts being nearly as tall as twilight so he looked her age. Maybe there was hope of him catching Rarity's love in this world.
Nyxne was lent to luna for use to the trial of kindness. I managed to help her with her transformations to not make a mistake no way could we condone a real manticor for this. That would go to far. Even used a illusion of the thorn for it. But right now I watched as the scene played out like clockwork. Luna as nightmare moon making her appearence after Celestia was discovered to be missing the ponies panicking while luna acted confused that no one knew who she was until Twilight revealed the name nightmare moon, her proclaiming eternal night and then taking off as panic happened in the town hall. I slipped to the everfree where we got ready to give them the trials of harmony.
Soon pinkie banished fear with laughter and it took us and our will not to join the heart song, fluttershy 'helped' the 'injured manticor' which let me discreetly bring nyxne back to her pokeball, applejack saved Twilight from the cliff, rainbow ignored the shadow bolts temptation but for some reason they stuck around me hidden even after luna release the illusion. I sure hope they were not like the eyecons from ghost. I could faintly see each contained a lunar astro switch so more like the shift cars used by next drive and the roimude at least.
I meant it the shadow bolts were still arround. The leader held the crescent moon switch so I'm guessing they used the names of the lunar astro switches as their names. The other two had quarter and new moon switches. Considering they were made by Luna's cosmic energy for the switches I was pretty sure they count her as their mother.
"What a let down I was so sure she would be a good member of our team! The colors from her would have been a nice addition to our routine! Being blue and grey is starting to get a bit dull for us" said crescent moon pulling off her cowl and I blinked seeing she looked like a light blue and grey version of spitfire.
Wait what?
"Okay how long have you three been sentient like this" I asked narrowing my eyes at them.
We were currently hidden in the throne room of the castle and the three cosmic energy construct pegasus trio shared a look.
"Truthfully? About 6 years ago. We each was nearby a pegasus and picked up some of their cosmic energy that was being produced I ended up taking up almost everything off the one I was near in terms of mind and personality. About a month later I sensed these two and together we became these. Ever since we been practicing as a actual team. Our other sibling is currently copying the cyan pegasus just by being near her. And just call her neo moon there new moon would be strange as a name" said crescent pointing to the mare that I noticed resembled daring do in looks. The last mare was resembling to my surprise fluttershy and like crescent all were varying shades of blue and gray or in quarter's case silver.
"So what do you think of luna considering her cosmic energy created your switches" I asked curious.
"She's our mother. While our looks are of other ponies our 'dna' is based on hers but until recently it was only half complete. When we came to free mother from the moon we found another source of cosmic energy connected to hers" said crescent and I had a good idea what she was talking about.
"Wait your saying half of your 'dna' is from me!" I asked surprised and I felt nyxne and nocturne giggle at this.
"Oh so that's what the other source was! That makes a lot of sense" noted quarter with a grin and made the fist in Palm movement of getting something.
I deadpanned with neo as we stared at them.
"I could have told you that you two it was obvious as he was right with mother" said neo her tone a slight annoyed bit as I got the impression she was the logical of the three with the eldest being the level headed if bit childish one and the final one being the calm one. That meant full moon was going to be the energetic passionate one considering her base was rainbow dash the element of loyalty after all.
Luckily I had constructed a gate switch for when I found someplace to use to get back to the rabbit hutch.
We quieted down when we heard the sound of teleportation and watched as luna and twilight had their 'showdown'. The constant dodging, Twilight learning teleportation. Luna shattering the husks of the elements and then the other five arriving before Twilight did her elements speech and I could see behind the mask of fear that luna knew our prank had succeeded. I couldn't wait to see their reactions to the whole act.
With a bright flash luna was back to her blue like self as her armor had been blasted off. She now looked like a teenager version and her star like mane had became blue hair.
It wasn't long until the new element bearers woke up and Celestia in a holy madina outfit arrived did I make my appearence with the shadow bolts and nyxne and nocturne amused expressions on out faces.
"Very good acting Luna! Our prank worked! Sorry it resulted in you being deaged a bit! But at least we managed to get you free from that form" I said helping her up.
The shadow bolts giggled at the expressions from everyone including Luna's sister which ranged from shock and confusion.
"Hold on you mean to say the nightmare moon personality was all an act!" Said Twilight wide eyed.
"Yeah that used to be real when she got sent to the moon. If I hadn't been sent there a minute before her and managed to talk some sense into her she would have still acted like that for real. I had to help her get over the realazation eternal night was a bad idea. She didn't think things through. Been giving her therapy for 200 years!" I said with a laugh.
"We took advantage of a possible prophecy created out of what remaining history to finally get me out of my nightmare moon form. As I was no longer connected to the elements we figured my sister wasn't as well so we took into account new bearers" informed luna.
"I helped out a bit as well I was the manticor and I used a illusion on you to think the thorn was completely real. I also did the illusions on those trees" said nyxne from my shoulder.
"These three also helped out though they did honestly want you to be part of their team dash their colors apparently get dull during their routines. And luna these three are sentient they are actually the astro switches that opened the seal keeping us on the moon" I said as the fourth appeared looking like a white and silver version of rainbow with the same eyes as luna looking herself over.
"And there is full moon, remind me to find away to take those switches out of you four you deserve to be real ponies and not constructs from cosmic energy" I said giving the four a look.
"Sure! I definitely want to be my own person!" Nodded full moon with a smirk.
"Cosmic energy?" Asked Celestia confused.
"The energy of space you and luna are able to use it due to your direct connection to the moon and sun. It exactly makes up half your power and is why you are practically immortal" I explained.
"But why were you on the moon sir? I doubt you were there on your will" asked applejack.
"That's because I wasnt. I unknowingly bought some enchanted items in my universe and as magic doesn't exist on earth usually I couldn't counter it and found myself on the moon. Just as I was getting my bearings luna here appeared right on top of me. As a result I had to stay there as my own cosmic energy got connected to hers. That made the seal keeping her on the moon also keep me up there. Normally humans like me live for at most a century but because my own cosmic energy connected to Luna's own via her magic my life span was now the same as hers. The dimensional magic that brought me here altered my body into being able to produce cosmic energy itself. I had to be careful of cosmic energy build up. The amount my body produced kept growing until it matched Luna's level. We think it was because I was being tuned to this universe and had luna act as a stabilizer for my existance" I informed.
"As for the question on who we are my trainer is jack saraph, I'm nyxne the wyvern is nocturne and these four are neo, crescent, quarter and full moon. As they were made from fragments of Luna's cosmic energy and magic their Luna's kids" said nyxne with a snicker.
"Apparently they gained sentience six years ago so while the source of their bodies are a thousand years old their really six years old. They just took on forms from trace amounts of cosmic energy around them. We researched cosmic energy and found magic has quite trace amounts of them. So used magic in the air was drawn to the items that created them. They also picked up personalities of their own based off the cosmic energy they absorbed" I said in explination using my rainbow aura like cosmic energy to remove the lunar switches while keeping the four fillies alive as real pegasi and also made their bodies reflect their minds.
"There now they can have a chance to grow up like they should instead of being kids in the bodies of adults" I said handing the switches back to luna.
"Hmm you know full moon and quarter moon don't make good names do they? I know how about I go by hunter moon while quarter goes by harvest" said full or rather hunter moon with a frown at first then excited by the second half.
"Fits us quite well at least" nodded harvest with a gentle smile.
And yep they had blank flanks from what I see at least their clothes were enchanted to gain markings matching their actual cutie mark in placement and shape on their clothes. I learned that from luna.
"So your from another universe" asked Twilight curious.
"Yep though don't think that just because my world doesn't have magic normally there isn't a supernatural element. There have been reports of spirits every few years at most. Now how about we get back to the town and get to celebrating I think these girls need to get to know each other and catch up after all" I said pointing to luna looking at the six year olds with a shocked expression as Celestia was amused at having four neices by blood. Though by their sudden shocked expression and look at me I knew they just found out my dna was added to them.
"Trust me that was a shock to me as well it was because my cosmic energy is still connected to Luna's when they arrived" I said to them confusing the mane six.
"Turned out those four had only Luna's dna so they were about half complete and when they got us from the moon they connected back with Luna's cosmic energy and considering the state both ours are in they ended up using my dna to be complete. I knew luna for a thousand years but I don't know if we have that kind of bond" I explained to them and they nodded in understanding.
We started to head back to Ponyvile with fluttershy wanting to know more about nyxne and I explained she was a zorua from yet another universe with humans and was part of a community of creatures known as pokemon. "Her pokeball which is kind of a home for her was one of the items that brought me here and like me was infused with cosmic energy giving her the ability to talk and use elemental abilities. Normally zorua can learn telepathic abilities so not much has changed in that instance" I said before demonstrating by returning her and then letting her out.
"Like me she can't breath in space so I had to keep her in the pokeball until we got back to the rabbit hutch the lunar station me and luna lived in when I arrived. Nocturne though was lucky to get the ability to breath in the void so luna enjoyed helping her exercise on the moon. Cosmic energy tends to be a random effect" I said and twilight was already making notes and talking with luna about their Research on cosmic energy.
She then started taking notes on the other things I taught luna such as my world's history and about the kamen riders. When they got to fourze they all looked to me confused.
"Yeah that was the main reason I got cosmic energy I bought a astro switch to go with the replicas of the other switches and the driver I owned. The dimensional warp altered them into the genuine devices but right now I can access a few switches. Like the original fourze I get stronger with friendship. I have to learn to handle different personalities and get along with them in order to unlock other switches. There were 40 in total used by the original fourze and I can use at best eight switches" I explained.
"You were dressed as Fourze at the time and yes that outfit he is wearing was another of the enchanted items. Fourze was pretty much a body suit like armor from what I saw so he didn't have his original clothes on him when he arrived but that. Luckily he woke up wearing it as his replica outfit had vanished on arrival" said luna as she saw Rarity about to ask about my outfit.
"I was lucky I did get the outfit it would have been strange enough" I said.
"Nocturne was another of the items having been a plush toy I guess the magic made her flesh and blood on arrival" I said as the wyvern grew back to fill size and flying with rainbow dash.
"She's more like a familiar then a pet just as nyxne is my partner" I added at their wide eyed looks.
"Mass shifting is one of her abilities with cosmic energy isn't it" asked Twilight making a note.
"Yep. Hey Celestia do you mind if I get a teaching job I'm currently the only expert besides luna that knows about cosmic energy though I would hold off on creating astro switches if I was you until you manage to learn how to seperate cosmic energy from your magic" I said to the solar princess making her blush at bring that easily read.
"So tell us about these zoidarts jack what is so bad about them" asked Celestia.
"You remember when luna went nightmare? You don't know this but the reason she was trapped in that form was because she unknowingly corrupted half her cosmic energy. Like magic it's influenced by emotions. Her case though is different. Much like her charge Luna's dark side is a part of her. Her nightmare moon form is the reflection of her dark side of the moon. She can turn into it at will but with negative emotions corrupting the cosmic energy she got stuck in that state. Zoidarts are created by negative cosmic energy and are normally based on constellations seen at night. Their elites are the twelve horoscopes like Aquarius and cancer. The twelve zodiac constellations. Just watch out for Geminai the twins. That one usually splits it's host between the yin and yang and have the one mostly in control like the good side be slowly taken over by the dark in a type of reverse switch. I'm working on a way to tell the two halfs apart just in case" I said.
"So they are evil monsters right" asked celestia.
"No they are more like mutations for a pony or human and if you see their original normal body fall out covered in webs while the zoidarts form becomes seperate with their mind in it they become living bombs. Best place to defeat them is high in the atmosphere where no one can get hurt and the switch used ends up falling to the ground. As Fourze my driver can purify the cosmic energy into positive and make the zoidarts switch implode. If you hear last one that's when it's possible to defeat them without killing the switch user. Luna don't have to worry about losing her sanity because her dark side actually makes her immune to the normal side effects of using the zoidarts switches. After a while it's like a drug. I'm going to need a kind of structure like a shed to create a gate to the rabbit hutch so I can show you what I mean. While the originals are destroyed the zoidarts switches will eventually come to this world as the fourze driver was built to counter them. By looking at the constellation on their body I can know what abilities they have and know what to counter with" I said seriously.
"What do you mean" asked Celestia worried.
"Because a orginazation called foundation x had remade the zoidarts tech and knowing my luck when I got pulled to this universe the remade switches did as well" I said with a frown.
"Meaning there might be a hidden group secretly using them" said Celestia realizing what I'm getting at.
"Correct and when I heard about the elements of harmony and knowing they would need new bearers I constructed rider systems for them to use if they can't use the elements for some reason" I said quietly to her looking at the mane six.
She nodded as it made sense the elements tended to be random with their targets as they turned discord to stone but sent her sister to the moon. Soon the summer sun celebration went and Celestia introduced us to the kingdom and yes that included her neices. When confusion went through the crowd I explained cosmic energy and that the four were born from Luna's cosmic energy and only awoken sic years ago and it was also because of cosmic energy did they look like they do. I did assure them they were as real as they were and as alive so they were treated like regular ponies. It was also the reason the princesses can even control the sun and moon with ease while it took multiple unicorns just to raise and lower them.
I was quickly employed by Celestia to teach at her school as the expert on cosmic energy but I did explain that all races can learn to use it as everything has it in them as it was as old as the universe itself.
"Though be warned just as there is positive cosmic energy there is also negative cosmic energy. Positive is safe to use but negative cosmic energy can corrupt your mind into being monsters. Like magic cosmic energy is influenced by your emotions" I said giving a stern glare for good measure after the lecture. "In other words my course needs a level head and firm control of your emotions if you want to learn about cosmic energy" I added before motioning to Twilight.
"Twilight sparkle here will help me make text books for this and reference notes about it as a study project assigned by me. When that is done while she is in Ponyvile she can help teach the subject at the local school for those of you in younger years. Then when you are able to pass that then you can see me in class as a advanced course. I can tell she wants to stay in this town to get to know her new friends and as I heard you all are in need of a librarian. For that reason I will be in town for a few weeks ironing out what can be taught before I start classes in canterlot. So please treat me as you would a guest in the mean time" I said.
"Required courses are astronomy and science as well. You need a understanding of both to also take this subject as both are going to be part of the course" said Twilight also stepping up.
"Thank you for your time" I said taking my seat.
With that the party began and we got a welcome party as well. By the end of the day Twilight was assigned to learn about friendship and both luna and Celestia plus the moon sisters headed to get settled down in canterlot castle and also catch up/get to know each other again. Luckily Twilight helped my enchant a locker to shrink and grow to my will so I can use it for the gate to the hutch and take the mane six and the royal family up there to get started and in can also give the six their systems incase zoidarts start appearing along with dustards. With that my life as this world's rider began.
