> Fear Takes Control > by Rezas > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Freedom > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The scene comes to the canterlot royal gardens. In these gardens, there were many statues of many creatures. Some of them were even alive inside, or had died long ago, their forms not capable of surviving being stoned. The statue we were focusing on was the statue of what appeared to be a scared little girl with a shield that had a face in front of her. “When will we be free, Kumu?” Betty questioned inside of their stone prison. “I mean, we only caused Sombra to fall… and a couple world wars… and got Sunbutts parents killed… where did we put those SOULs, anyway?” “They’re under the old castle, Betty,” A neutral voice replied, being Akumu. “Oh yeah,” Betty said with a mental nod. As the two were talking, they didn’t notice a tour group come. “And what does this statue represent?” A purple pony with green eyes asked, her tail and mane being shades of a light pink. “She looks terrified!” A random colt said. “Very good,” The purple pony said. “You’re close. She is the child of fear” “Well, it’s not inaccurate. It’s better than what some of these saps got stuck with.” Kumu commented. “I know, I mean, the ‘pie lord’? Was she high?” Betty asked back. The two didn’t notice the group moving away, and the statue of their chaotic neighbor breaking. “HEY. DISCORD. I HAVE A BET FOR YOU!” Betty shouted at the top of her mental voice. “Oh, if it isn’t the little fear child,” Discord said, slithering over. “You caused quite the bit of chaos while you were free, so I’ll listen to your bet.” “I bet the elements of harmony are used to beat you again. If they do beat you, set a spell on my statue that will free me and Akumu when it happens,” Betty challenged. The draconequus hummed in thought, before nodding and snapping his fingers on his lions paw. Betty turned, mentally, to Akumu after he was gone. “I give him 24 hours.” Twenty three hours, fifty nine minutes and fifty nine seconds later… The two in their statue ticked down the final second as a explosion of rainbow came out from the town below. As the rainbow explosion neared them, there was a dark, chaotic bit in it. As soon as this part touched the statue, their own cracked pink light filling the air. “YES!” Akumu said mentally, forming into his little orb self, floating around Betty excitedly. “Still got it,” Betty said with a smirk. Akumu went up to her, nuzzling her cheek. “So, Kumu, you wanna make a scene before exiting the city?” Akumu growled a little in hunger. “We barely survive being in there that long, we don’t have the energy to cause a ruckus,” He told her. “I guess you’re right, but we need a SOUL before we leave.” Betty said, crossing her arms. They could go after a certain element of magics brother, but he was actually semi-competent as a guard, and they didn’t have the power to handle that. “I say we get a random guard or two on the way out,” Betty said. As if summoned, two guards came on their patrol. Akumu went into a nearby bush, Betty following. When the guards got close, Betty launched out, summoning her single lance, impaling one guard through the barrel and making his SOUL, a yellow one, come out as he bled. Betty jerked it back, the other guard turning to see his comrade fall. “Here Kumu, dinner time~” Betty said, Kumu taking the SOUL into himself. Betty speared the other guard that was too shocked to do anything, feeding that dark blue heart to Akumu shortly after. “Let’s go, Celestia will recognise our handiwork.” Akumu said, worried they’d die too soon. “You think you can turn into a parachute?” Betty asked. Akumu nodded, the little girl running to the nearest city edge, where Akumu shifted into a pink parachute. The alarms went off behind them, Betty jumping even as Akumu deployed himself, letting the two harmlessly glide down as a shield slammed shut behind them. “You’ll never catch us alive!” Betty shouted, laughing as Akumu rolled his eyes. They already did, or did she forget the thousands of years as a statue? Soon, they landed below the mountain. “Kumu, do we have anything in our inventory?” Betty asked as they landed. Akumu hummed, producing a metal amulet with a red center. “Well, it’s better than nothing…” Betty said as she put it on, the amulet glowing a bit. It tried to use it’s magic to take control, but Betty used a small amount of her Rhabdophobia to take control. Not being in a hurry, she walked towards the Castle of Two Sisters. Celestia POV Celestia paced in the throne room. She was panicking. Discord was one thing, but he mostly did harmless pranks and such. Betty, on the other hand, took lives, and the things she called ‘souls’. Celestia doubted that they were really souls, but still, the prospect of her thinking they were made her all the worse in Celestias mind. Celestia still remembered when Betty took her parents souls. Luna came then, Celestia looking to her sister. “Luna, Betty has escaped.” She said. The mares eyes widened as she shook. While Celestia was young when their parents died, Luna was more so, so it had hit her worse. She was afraid of facing the pink monstrosity. No, the pink demon. A stallion came in then, in purple armour, a serious look on his face. His mane was shades of blue, strangely resembling patience and integrity, his eyes also patience. The stallion saluted the two. “Report, captain.” Celestia said. “I’m sorry princess, but the child of fear is nowhere to be found. She-” The captain started. “IT is not a person! You are to refer to IT as IT is.” Celestia shouted, temporarily losing her cool. “S-s-sorry, princess, it must have escaped before the barrier could be lowered.” The captain said. Celestia calmed herself, grimacing. She hated humans, no thanks to Betty saying she was made by one. The sheer hatred in Celestia was worrying. If she ever found out how to use SOUl energy… there was no telling what would happen. Betty guarded that knowledge with a passion, as had the monsters, even going as far to never write anything down about it. Betty had caused their downfall, and now, Celestia knew why… they were the only ones  it believed could cause its downfall. Then, the mane six entered, making Celestia smile. She could win yet, and starve that… thing… into nonexistence. > Gaining Power > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia stood in front of the mane six. “Hello, my little ponies. Although Discord may have been defeated, but I have… grave news. A terrible creature called Betty has escaped imprisonment.” Celestia said gravely “Uh, not that I’m doubting you princess, but… ‘Betty’ doesn’t sound very scary,” A light blue pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail said. “That is what we thought as well. But she has killed countless lives, stated numerous wars, and has even managed to kill our parents.” Celestia said gravely, making the gathered ponies gasp in shock and fear. “B-but Princess, I thought you were immortal?” Twilight asked. “While I may be ageless, Twilight, Alicorns may still be killed. It is just more… difficult.” Celestia explained. “But how in tarnation did she kill an alicorn?” Applejack asked, “She ripped out what she called a ‘soul’.” Celestia said. “But she does not just rip out her ‘souls’. She feeds them to a pink monstrosity.” Twilight looked horrified at this, as this was called the worst of the dark magics, that only high ranking nobles and herself knew of. And that was just that it existed. “But no one knows how to use, or even access, that kind of power!” Twilight said, the other five not seeming to understand what was happening. “The only other people that could have posed a threat to Betty, she went after first.” Celestia said, grimacing. “Unfortunately, we were not that well acquainted, and thus did not know of her until it was too late.” Twilight remembered a book, a legend, about a little girl that caused the first, and only, Equestrian world war. “T-this isn’t t-the same Betty that c-caused the World war, is it?” Twilight asked, feeling dread at her nod. “You mean we have to take the monster that took on several armies at once?!” Rainbow Dash said. “Unfortunately, it is the same monster.” Celestia said. “However, IT will be weak, having not fed for so many years.” “We should find it as soon as possible then!” Twilight said. “I will show you what we are dealing with.” Celestia said, her horn glowing. The area around them turned colorless, just shades of grey, though thankfully not fifty of them. It showed a battlefield, with dragons, griffons, ponies and minotaurs lying dead on the ground. They were sliced, stabbed, and some had holes in their chests. They saw one pony being held up by a pink blob as the fear child had a heart, pink, in its hand. “Your SOUL is mine!” Betty said, before ripping the red SOUL away, feeding it to Akumu. “I always wanted to say that.” Betty giggled as Akumu floated over, her smiling fondly at the pink orb. Fluttershy noticed this, but was too scared to bring it up. With Betty… “Hey Kumu, you remember how we actually got here?” Betty asked as she lightly skipped through a field. “Yes, because unlike you, my memory lasts longer than five days.” Akumu replied, making Betty pout at his teasing. Flashback “Come on!” A voice called. It was an imitation of the fear child's partner, but wasn’t quite there, being more mature. “I’m coming.” Another said, chuckling mirthfully. The first voice belonged to an adult that seemed to act like anything but, features hidden by a pink bodysuit with a black face drawn on. Presumably human Akumu. The other was a adult dressed as Betty. The two were walking in a con, taking in the view. “So, first comic con, huh? Never actually went before.” “Yeah, it’s gonna be fun!” The first replied to the second, sounding happy. “You think we’ll meet a certain merchant?” The second asked. The first shrugged simply. Didn’t know, didn’t care. As if summoned, the two had their attention drawn to a stall with a figure there that looked more in place in Resident Evil 4. “We’re gonna try and buy everything,” The second stated. The first nodded, the two walking over to the merchant. “Oh, if it isn’t fear child and the little demon. What can I get for ya?” The Merchant asked. “Everything.” The Betty cosplayer replied. “I don’t think ya got the cash, stranger,” The Merchant replied with a shrug. “Your the real Merchant, right? The one that sends people away? If that is the case, you can have everything I own, in exchange for everything here.” The second replied. “Heh, alright then. But some of this stuff won’t be available to ya for a long time. When the fool breaks you free, start your quest, in everfree…” The merchant said, before giving the second the alicorn Amulet and Pink SOUL, the first getting the hate bottle. A portal opened beneath them, and they fell in as the rest of the stuff in the stall went after them. Flashback End “Hey, Betty… ‘when the fool breaks us free’... do you think he meant Discord?” Akumu asked, floating in front of her face. “Who else will be fool enough to break us free after what we did?” Betty asked, giggling. “Yeah, those first few years were awkward as hell…” “But we could be trapped again and freed out of desperation,” Akumu argued. “Whoever did that would be more foolish than Discord.” “Not after what we did. Celestia would rather have the world burn then free us.” Betty replied with a shrug and a smirk. “But that’s the thing. We never completed our mission despite coming close so many times. We always let them repopulate first to feed us.” Akumu replied with a sigh. “True… but what was our original mission? Not the one we gave ourselves. Keep Monsters from having peace.” Betty said. “We completed that fairly quickly… why do we bother to do this anymore? Besides the need to feed on SOULs to live? Our mission is over.” Akumu said as he looked away. “Because it’s fun?” Betty asked with a shrug, as if it was obvious. “But you didn’t think that when we started. We only killed out of necessity back then. When we found out there were monsters here, you… changed…” Akumu replied with a sigh. It seemed he really didn’t like this path. “But what else are we supposed to do? We are literally enemies number one and two.” Betty said. “Maybe if we’d let the Elements affect us, we could have not needed to anymore… but you were so scared, that I reacted…” Akumu replied with a heavy sigh. Betty looked away at this, shivering, hair turning a little pinker. “But… they’re brainwash at best… and re-write existence at worst.” Betty said softly. Akumu floated over, nuzzling her, trying to cheer her up by turning into a mini pink Sans, then having it stabbed. Betty smiled. “Hey, c’mon Akumu. Let’s get those SOULs. They’re divine, maybe your hunger will finally cease then.” Betty started running towards the castle, Kumu floating after her. Kumu noticed how scared she was of the elements she was. They’d almost starved in there, and were this close to using the HATE. Both him and Betty would hate that. A few minutes later, they arrived. They went down, seeing plunder vines keeping the tree from being able to harm them. “Now… where were they again?” Akumu asked idly. “Alright Mr tree, I have a deal for you… if you want to hear it, glow once. Twice if not.” Betty said. The tree, desperate, glowed once softly. “Okay Mr Tree, I’ll get rid of the vines… if you remove the threat of the Elements for me and my little Kumu.” The tree glowed softly. Betty smirked, before Kumu turned into a scythe. “Now glow once if you swear on your power, magic, and elements themselves to uphold our deal.” Betty said. She had learned to make sure everything went as planned, after the… griffon fiasco. The tree glowed softly in defeat. Betty walked over behind the tree. Kicking over a loose rock behind the tree against the wall, a hole appeared. Inside, there were two rainbow SOULs, flooding with divine energy. “Well Kumu, eat up,” Betty said. Kumu smiled, launching at the jars in blob form, smashing them and eating the SOULs. All across equestria, people felt Bettys power skyrocket. Everyone around the world was filled with… F E A R. In Equestria. “N-no…” Celestia trembled. “H-how? How did it become so strong so fast?” “W-what w-was that, Princess?” Twilight asked. Celestia ignored her in favor of frantically writing letters to the other world leaders. The day had come… to unite once more. > FlashBack > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Betty hacked the last of the plunder vines, smirking. The tree, weak, tried to fulfill it’s end of the bargain… but couldn’t. It didn’t have enough power. Betty smirked as it started going cold. “Goodnight, tree.” Betty said with a giggle. “Now, nothing can stand in our way, my little Kumu.” Betty giggled. “I guess FEAR is the true magic…” She said, before breaking out into laughter. The tree was scared, but kept it to itself, so that it’d live. Betty smirked to it, before walking out. Kumu went to follow, but fell, convulsing. Betty turned around, seeing him convulsion. “K-kumu?!” Betty asked, worried, kneeling next to him. Kumu convulsed, slowly growing. He grew, and grew, until he looked… like her, really, but male, similarly colored clothing, minus the skirt. “K-kumu? I-i-i-is that you?” Betty asked. He looked at his hands in shock and surprise, numbly nodding. “S-s-so you c-can talk, right? Try.” Betty said. “B-bet...b-betty…” Kumu said, smiling widely. He looked at her, hugging her. If it was any other pair of kids, this would be much more… cute. Uncaring for the trees reaction, the two stood, Kumu shakily walking with Bettys help out of the cave. “Well… at least you have a body now… wanna make the castle of two sisters our new home?” Betty asked. He weakly nodded, not used to his new form. “Heh, remember the complaining about losing your body when we first got here?” He nodded again, chuckling a little. “Yeah, when I always said at least you're still male?” She asked, making him smirk, before stumbling, almost falling. Betty wrapped her arms around him. He hugged back, head on her chest. Betty froze, blushing. He didn’t notice or care, eyes drooping tiredly. Betty carried him inside of the castle, finding a bed and getting in with him, the two falling asleep. In Canterlot Celestia walked back and forth quickly, having sent the letters and was now panicking. “Princess, what was that?” Twilight asked. “It was Betty. It is… stronger.” Celestia said simply. “Stronger than when we sealed it.” “T-t-t-that w-w-was b-betty?” Fluttershy timidly asked. “I don’t understand how she got so strong so fast!” Celestia said. “Maybe she stashed two suuuper strong souls away somewhere to use later?” Pinkie Pie suggested. Celestia's mane turned into fire. “IT FED MY PARENTS TO THAT...THING?!” Celestia shouted, using the RCV by accident. All except Raindow Dash and AppleJack got afraid at this, the two getting mad with her, one out of loyalty and the other our of knowing how it felt to have lost her parents. “I’m going to enjoy having that thing starve in it’s prison!” Celestia snarled. Fluttershy wanted to speak against this, but couldn’t, too scared. “W-w-what do you mean, s-starve?” Twilight asked. “The thing said it needs the ‘souls’ as sources to feed her.” Celestia told her. The ponies gasped at this. “I think it's time we all rest. It has been a… stressful day.” Celestia said The next day, with the now twins of fear…. Betty and Akumu woke up from their sleep in the old castle, cuddling. Akumu was a bit smaller than Betty, being under her chin as they cuddled. Betty got up quickly. “W-w-w-well, I’m g-g-gonna go look for things,” Betty said, brushing her skirt off as she left. Akumu felt sad her leaving. What did he do wrong? Why was she so quick to leave? Betty was feeling awkward and embarrassed, having not seen a human-like figure for years… but also a lot of love to Akumu. Maybe… falling in love. Twenty minutes later, she came back with Inspiration Manifestation. Her smirk was huge as she came in, reading it, the green on it pink. Betty walked over. Concentrating, she summoned a hoverboard, pink, that was big enough for the two of them. Dismissing it, she turned to Akumu. “So, what do you want?” She asked. Akumu just looked at her with a cute head tilt. Betty hummed in thought, before cackling. She went to make a fierce diety mask… but Akumu was eating the book. The mask was made, and Akumu got a small power burst. Akumu then ate the mask, boosting both of them further. Betty then made a bag of senzu beans, so they could use that instead of the HATE, a scouter, one for both of them, both pink. “Here comes the big stuff…” Betty mumbled. Walking over, she concentrated, struggling but managed to make a Hyperbolic Time Chamber out of the door. Betty then tried to imitate the fidelius spell from Harry Potter to hide it. She didn’t know if it had worked, but hoped it did. “W-w-where are we? I-i-i d-don’t r-remember coming here…” Akumu said. He looked around, only seeing a void and whimpering. “Well, Akumu, we’re currently in the home base of the fear twins, the castle of the two sisters,” Betty said, Akumu suddenly seeing everything again. In the distance, a certain mix-matched creature felt proud. Betty suddenly fell to her knees, panting. That took a lot of magic, and she wasn’t used to the drain. “That was… a lot more… magic then… I thought it’d be… is it… because… I’m not… a pony?” She questioned to herself. She was going to pull out one of her twenty beans, but those took a decent chunck to make too, and she’d be fine by tomorrow anyway. All she was gonna do today was help Akumu with his new body anyway. Akumu looked flabbergasted at the power display. He got up, trying to go to his sister, but fell to his hands and knees. “Kumu!” Betty said tiredly, forcing herself up. She was magically tired, but still had some physical energy, going over and helping him to his feet. Slowly, they made their way inside the chamber, it looking just like the one from the show, but had a control panel in the house. “I… combined the two training places… from DBZ… this can do what both can… but we control it… and there’s no limit… on how high it… can go...:” Betty told her brother. “This… is amazing…” He said to her, looking amazed. “I also removed the limit on how many times someone can stay here or enter.” Betty said. Akumu looked at her, tilting his head, wondering how. Seeing her still exhausted, they supported one another to a bed, and Akumu got in with her, cuddling again. “The royal sisters will never harm you again…” Betty whispered, hugging him close. With the royal blisters “Did you feel that, sister?” Celestia was asked by Luna, both looking afraid. “Yes. I fear soon we may need to resort to… drastic measures.” Celestia said. “It felt as if a bit of reality was ripped out. We thought only discord could do such a thing.” Luna said. “I felt that book in the magic used. I believe that, for the sake of everypony, it may be time to…” Celestia trailed off, looking away, hating what she was thinking of. Each kingdom has a ‘god’ in control, Celestia and Luna in control of the ponies, the Dragon Lord of the Dragons and magma, and so on. However, it was proven that this status meant next to nothing to Betty… as seen with Celestias parents, who were the strongest. “If we are gods, I fear Betty is a Primordial of FEAR now.” Celestia said. “Sister, I think it is time we used… that.” Luna said. She didn’t need to explain, both knew what needed to be done to gain the power needed to fight the threat. They felt it disappear then, but did not trust this for a moment. Their minds were set. They would perform an ancient ritual, that their parents had been interrupted in doing. What would this ritual do? It was simple. It would, at the sacrifice of some lives, reach into the void, and summon something to strengthen them and six others, in exchange… for the souls used to summoned it. > TrainingPt1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was the next day for the two in the time chamber. They awoke in the same position as the day before, with Akumu cuddled in Bettys hold. She got up awkwardly, Akumu seeming to slump a little. “I-i-i’m sorry, Akumu, I-i just d-don’t know how to handle this…” Betty timidly said. Akumu just nodded sadly. Betty gave him a warm hug, before trying to summon something. She tried to summon a stone, a wand, and a cloak. Unfortunately, she felt a pain in her head, and a warning. It seemed some artifacts makers didn’t like them being replicated. The room darkened, making Akumu shake and lean into Betty. Slowly, a cloaked figure appeared, wielding a scythe, a skeleton in a cloak. This was death. “I-i-i’m s-s-sorry m-mister-” Betty started, before being interrupted. “I do not care for your reasons. This is your first warning.” Death replied, vanishing soon after. Akumu buried his face in Bettys chest, trembling greatly. “N-no more deaths stuff.” Betty shakily said, grinning nervously, hugging Akumu and trying to comfort him. Her hair was completely pink. “I-i’m gonna try other stuff,” Betty said. Akumu stopped her. “P-please, d-don’t, s-scared,” Akumu said. “I-i’m not gonna do anything stupid, just make a couple Chakra and Tree of Might fruits,” Betty said. She soon did so, two of each appearing. Betty handed one of each to Akumu, who took the fruits, and together they bit into it. The two immediately doubled over in pain as Ki and  Chakra, unused on this planet since it’s creation, flooded them eagerly. “H-huurtss!” Akumu screams, wailing. “W-what was I thinking?!” Betty screamed back, having a bit more composer than her brother. Despite him having taken most hits for her in his little blob form, he also didn’t have nerves then, so this was all new to him and was pretty much torture. Betty, wobbling her way over, hugging him, trying to sooth him. After hours of pure agony, the pain faded. Akumu was crying still, Betty hugging him. “I-i-it’s okay, i-i-it’s over now,” Betty whispered, hugging him. Betty made scrolls for the attacks she knew how to use, which wasn’t many, considering neither show, unless it was important for the plot, really explained… any of the attacks. Like at all. She avoided the Spirit Bomb, because that’d only hurt them. “O-o-one more t-thing…” Betty whispered in promise. She combined the regeneration of Cell, Majin Buu, Deadpool, and Wolverine, to double down, just in case, into two fruits. The two ate, and this was a much less painful process. The two soon felt better than ever, small impurities in them being corrected by the regeneration. Thankfully the cancer didn’t transfer. “S-sissy, h-help walk?” Akumu asked timidly. Betty ate a senzu bean, before helping her brother up. Slowly teaching him to walk in his new body, she walked over and set it for twenty four years in here was twenty four hours out there. “What’d you do?” “I made it so we had more training time.” Betty replied. Year one Akumu and Betty were practicing different styles in fifty times gravity, moving sluggishly, trying to find one that fit them. They had a little control over their planets of Chakra and Ki, but were still pretty much genin or civilian in control. They got used to the gravity quicker than normal, thanks to their regen, letting them move semi-normal. Betty favored using her half-kumu to wield a scythe or hand blade. The half-kumu was basically Akumu without the smarts. Or personality. Or thinking. It only had the brains to turn into what betty needed, but she never could get the kink out of it where it turned into a purple dildo sword. It was also purple instead of pink. “GODDAMIT I DON’T WANT A DILDO SWORD!” Betty shouted, Akumu chuckling. Akumu thought the sword came up because Betty was… ‘stressed’. She’d been pushing herself a lot more lately. She was wearing weights, and to not fall behind, Akumu was too, if slightly lighter. “M-m-maybe i-it’s t-trying t-t-to tell y-you something?” Akumu suggested. Betty looked at him, furious, making him flinch and turn away. “And… what is this thing trying to tell me? Please, I would like to know.” Betty growled. Akumu backed away, making himself smaller. “Uh… I’m sorry… I’m just… really stressed…” Betty mumbled, looking away from her scared ‘brother’. He timidly walked over, hugging her. She turned around and hugged him back. In the hug, his hand accidentally brushed against her butt. They both separated quickly, blushing. “L-let’s get b-back to training.” She said, and he nodded. They both continued training for the rest of the day, not getting that off of their mind. The next incident happened a year later. year two… Akumu walked into the house, having just finished training. He went into the bathroom to wash up, when he got a surprise. Betty, completely bent over, washing her legs. Naked as the day she was born. He got a good look at her lower region, causing his own to harden. He slowly and quietly walked out, going back into the two hundred times gravity to get his mind off of it. Instead, he thought of how the two of them had slowly gotten better, now able to fly and wall walk. They had gotten all the walking styles as well. The next day, something similar happened. Betty was walking in from training, and entered the bathroom to see Akumu singing with his eyes closed as he washed himself, his front in her view. She felt herself moisten, and hastily went back out to train some more. Over the second year this kept happening, them catching one another exposed, as if some higher power wanted them to get together. The third year… In the start of the third year, they saw each other. Betty was putting her panties on, when Akumu came in. He saw her, and blushed furiously as she saw him, his lower region tenting as hers moistened. “I-i-i’m s-s-sorry, I-i’ll g-go,” Akumu said, turning to leave. “N-no, w-wait. M-maybe w-we could… e-experiment?” Betty asked. Pausing, he looked at her with a tilted head. Akumu timidly nodded, and the two timidly ran their hands over each other, avoiding the others privates, and kissed timidly. For the rest of the year they train and slowly experiment. Fourth year… Akumu and Betty were sitting in bed, both in their undies. They both had red faces and were fidgeting heavily. “S-so…” Akumu started, before stopping, unable to find words. “Y-y-yeah, s-so, t-touch e-eachother?” Betty mumbled. Warning, if ya know what’s about to happen and don’t like it… fuck off. Betty reached forwards, gently cupping his crotch and making him groan. She started rubbing, making Akumu groan, looking at her. He reached forwards, grasping her small breasts and timidly squeezing. The girl squeaked, blushing. The two continued to timidly do this, not sure how to continue. Betty, remembering something, took her hands off him and crawled forwards, leaning down and nuzzling his crotch. He let out a gasp at this, looking surprised. Her panties had a wet spot now, so she removed them and his underwear. Akumu let this happen, letting his crotch and hers lay bare for them to look at. “I-i-i t-think I’m s-s-supposed t-to g-get on top o-of you, a-and have our c-crotches touch?” Betty said, unsure. She did so, and the two rubbed against one another, groaning and moaning. They continue for a bit, before Akumu slipped into her. She screeched as something broke, and he immediately started fussing over her. Her legs wrapped around him, and slowly, they started moving, him sliding in and out of her. They both moaned and groaned, panting as they made love to each other. He sliding out and her pulling him back in, the two making a rhythm, the sound of skin slapping filling the air as the two looked into eachothers eyes. They leaned forwards, kissing one another, uncaring for what anyone would say. “T-t-there’s s-s-something b-building up,” Betty panted. Akumu panted back, nodding, feeling it too. Their rhythm was erratic at this point as the two tried to finish. The two got louder and louder, continuing for a few minutes. “C-c-close!” Akumu shouted. Betty came, tightening around him and feeling his thing throb and shoot something off inside of her, making her screech, before the two tiredly slumped, basking in afterglow. Betty kept him close, not letting him exit her. The two just lay there, staring at one another lovingly. “T-t-that was… a-awesome,” Betty said, and Akumu nodded simply. “W-we should do it again,” she added, receiving yet another nod. You can come back you fucking prudes. Eight year… because if we went year by fucking year we’d BE here for one. Betty and Akumu were laying in bed, cuddling into each other after getting out of the random weather, extreme, and thousand times gravity. It was times like this that made them ignore all the pain the first two fruits that caused them so much pain. Guess it was a advanced payment for the pain they would have normally be caused later. Also, regen. Because fuck yeah regen. “So… um…” Betty started, not sure what to say. “W-we’ve b-been doing t-things together for a while now… what are we, exactly?” “Us,” Akumu said, hugging and nuzzling her. “Yeah… I like that… just us.” Betty said, snuggling back. Betty, over the last four of the eight years the two had been in here, had been making weapons as well. She couldn’t seem to make anything that had a god-tier maker, like the deathly hallows or reality bending things, but she had been making orbs that contained spells like Ultima, Holy, and other spells, like Magic Burst, which Betty had passed out after using and Akumu had had to feed her some of his so she wouldn’t die. She’d already started turning to dust by the time he got there. He’d also taken and hidden that marble. The two could have about five on them that are ready to use at any chance. Betty, being the more damaging, had five ultimas to be combod. Akumu had Omni-heal, Life Drain, Mana Drain, Wave of Relief, and Teleport, which would let them get out in a hurry. Two of those came from Dragon Quest 9, at least that was what Betty told him, and the others came from Fanfiction Gamer ideas. They worked, so it didn’t really matter to Akumu. He’d tried eating one one time, but it only hurt him. It looked like, while artifacts and SOULs were good for consumption, magical spells were not, since they technically were two themselves. Betty had some random vehicules she’d made for fun, the Spirit Train, the Starlight Express, a tank that was slowly but always upgrading itself, nothing AI related, and a section of the Time Chamber she’d made with ‘random everything’ on it. She’d also modified the Time Chamber to know what they needed, and able to create it. It couldn’t do this too often without it being risky, but it gave them things every once and awhile, like condoms. And sex ed tapes. The two had been blushing for weeks. For some reason, that even Betty couldn’t imagine, the Chamber had become like a mother hen to the two. It was incredibly awkward until Betty had found out how to ‘cut off’ their room from it’s sight. Somehow. Magic. That was all during the four years after they’d had ‘fun’ the first time. Every night, before going to bed, Betty made a bag of Senzu beans. Having that many on her at once was just asking the enemy to take them, so most were in storage in her inventory. “Well, I’m going to work on a new Project,” Betty said. “What is it?” Akumu asked curiously with a tilted head. “I’m going to give a deagle infinite ammo and make it a golden gun.” Betty responded to her. He deadpanned at her, before rolling his eyes and going back to sleep. Betty walked out to see a hologram of what she’d look like as a adult, and a mother. With a couple changes of course. The hologram smiled at her. “How was your sleep, my little child?” The hologram asked gently. “It was good,” Betty said. “I’m going to work on a new project now.” She informed. The hologram nodded, and handed her a coffee. “You know, you two can always stay here sweetie,” The hologram said. Betty considered this. They didn’t seem to have a need to feed on SOULs since Akumu had absorbed the two alicorns. Betty remembered nearly starving, but then remembered she HAD killed the white pony's parents in front of her. “Nah. I need to pay them back for stoning us.” Betty said. The hologram sadly nodded, and she went inside of her workshop. “But we will come back.” She said right before she entered. The hologram sadly smiled, vanishing. > TrainingPt2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year 11 of training Betty was still working on the gun in between the usual training and just hanging out they did. Nothing much had happened besides them having honed their control enough to do jutsu instead of just spam giant waves of energy at their opponents. Akumu and Betty were using shadow clones to help their control quicken, now that they could without making a dangerous amount. They remembered, one time, Betty had used it and had summoned more than she could handle, being knocked out for three days. It was too big to count. Slowly, over the years, they managed to get to each able to bore a thousand clones at once, mostly due to two necklaces that gave them faster processing when worn. This made practicing their control a lot easier, but they still needed to do physical stuff themselves. Betty still was trying to work around that. One time, Betty had tried to become a ‘gamer’. It didn’t really end good or bad. Flashback… “Hey Kumu, I think I got it!” Betty shouted to him. He walked over to her. As soon as he got there, a being appeared. Her form was… indescribable, mostly due to author laziness. “So, you're the little fearling that’s been trying to copy everyone's work.” A stern grandmotherly voice said. Inside her mind, Betty was panicking. On the outside was very different. “S-s-so, you’re not mad, are you?” She timidly asked. The indescribable person hummed. “No, I suppose not. If I were to do something to you, I’d have to get angry with the Random Omnipotent Beings that do the same. And they’re just not worth the trouble.” Gaia said. “Though I must admit, you are adorable,” She said, pinching the fearlings cheek. “S-s-so, you’re Gaia… t-that must be cool…” Betty said. “Not really, considering most of the realities my mind actively sees are worlds with pollution I have to try and stop.” She said. “Yeah, I-i’m, sorry about t-the p-past species of mine,” Betty said. Gaia giggled, patting her head before she had to go. “S-so, friends, or?” “Sure.” Gaia said, vanishing. Akumu was trembling next to her. He had nightmares for a week. Flashback End… She occasionally came to visit, and even gave them some things. Mostly plants. One thing was a arc reactor, though she needed to figure out how to start it. She had shadow clones working on that. “I got the deagle working!” Betty screamed in, catching Akumus attention. “Really?” He asked, coming over with a tilted head, a curious look on his face. Betty nodded, and pressed a button, making a gun range open up. Betty pointed the gun at the targets, firing… and missing, hitting the back wall and making a explosion happen. She needed to practice. Akumu chuckled a little as Betty deadpanned at the missing chunk in the wall. She shrugged. “Welp, we know it works.” She said. “So why’d it explode?” Akumu asked. “I added some explosives rounds.” Betty said. “It can shoot normal bullets too… should have probably started with those…” Betty mumbled. “You want one?” “You already made me one didn’t you?” Akumu asked in a deadpan. “Noo… I made two for me.” Betty said with a giggle. Akumu rolled his eyes and held his hand out. She sheepishly rubbed the back of her head, handing him one. The last year… They had been training like crazy. Due to the sheer amount, they wouldn’t have near perfect control for decades, but they had decent enough control to pull off most attacks Betty could think of. They’d never be able to use the low-end powered moves though. They were in 4,000 times gravity, and had weights, moving at normal speeds. The two trained for a few hours, before stopping each day to rest and just hang out. This was pretty much all that happened in the last year. Right now, it was the last day. “So, last day huh?” Betty said, sitting on the chambers steps. I just fucking said that Betty. “Yeah… I’ll miss momma-chamber,” Akumu said. He was a bit sad looking, having gotten closer to the hologram than Betty. It had also became self aware. “Yeah, I’ll miss her too, but we can always come back.” Betty replied. She’d miss her too, and was nearly as close, but Akumu was always more emotional. Maybe the SOULs gave him more emotion now that he had a body. The hologram and Gaia appeared then. “Goodbye, my children,” She said, hugging the two, them hugging back. She was a hard light hologram, but could only do that in short bursts. “As long as you don’t intentionally harm any plants, I will protect you from the more damaging ones,” Gaia said. Her hand glowed, and the two did as well. Betty gave Gaia a hug, her closer due to interacting with Gaia more. She was the grandmother of the group. “Let’s go, ‘bro’.” Betty said, giggling as Akumu nodded. They both left the chamber, not bothering to hide their power. Canterlot… Celestia, Luna, and the main Six were doing their training before the ritual, having wanted to master their current abilities before doing it. They all felt Betty and Akumus reappearance, and gasped, the mane six fainting and Luna and Celestia shivering in fear, barely staying up. “H-how?!” Celestia said. “Luna, get the guard. We are doing the ritual NOW!” Luna looked about to shit herself, but nodded shakily, running off to gather the guard even as Celestia set the mane six in their positions, writing an intricate network on the ground swiftly. Celestia connected the network to already drawn versions of it all across the city. Originally, it was going to be hundreds, but… this time she was sacrificing all of Canterlot. All ten thousand lives. “Sister, the guards art in their positions,” Luna said, coming back in. Celestia nodded, and began the ritual. Betty and Akumu POV… “So, do you think we made Luna shit herself?” Betty asked. Akumu shrugged, before both gasped. They felt lives slowly going away, but then going faster and faster. “She did it! She actually did it! That hypocrite!” Betty shouted. “Well, Akumu, I want to destroy a town. Akumu shook his head. “No, Betty, they feel like they can… take us now. We should be discreet.” Akumu started massaging her shoulders, slowly calming her. “Alright, I’ll send a shadow clone to somewhere to test how strong they’ve gotten.” Betty said. Akumu nodded, summoning his own, the two being exploding blood clones, more durable than Shadow clones, having the same properties of the exploding shadow clones, both the clones able to destroy a city block with their self detonation. > A visit. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunnyside's down POV They had just finished the ritual, and had gotten their power up, when Celestia felt something enter her universe. She then felt two signatures approaching it, recognising them as Betty and Akumu, despite their… offness. 3rd POV The two blood clones were perched on the roof of a building, looking down at two strange figures. One was in a blue and black suit, black gloves, a blue scarf around its neck, and boots, with a sword strapped to its back, black hair on it's head, and brown eyes, with its hands on its back. The other was much smaller and looked like a bipedal pup, with blue and black fur, and red eyes, looking at the taller creature in confusion. “You know Celestia's going to tear into them, right?” Betty the Blood clone whispered to the Akumu clone. He nodded, frowning. “How about you go down there, try and get them to safety, while I distract Sunnyside?” Betty's clone suggested Akumus. The clone nodded, and hopped down as Betty went to Celestia. Akumus clone approached the two as Betty intercepted Celestia a couple blocks away. A big explosion rocks the area as the two clash. The taller creature then picked up the smaller one and places her in a bag he made from a white material before placing it on its side and stepping back. “Okay, what's going on?” It asked, its voice distinctly male. Another explosion went off in the distance, causing the whole city to shake. Everyone turned, hearing clone Betty.  “I'm not even going full strength yet Celestia, and you still can't beat me, even after the sacrifices!” clone Betty screams taunting Celestia making her even more enraged. “While she holds the sunbutt off, we need to get out of here. The clone won’t be able to hold that Tyrant off forever,” Akumus clone said, holding a hand out. “Come on.” He looked to the side, sensing her running off towards the edge and wondering what the hell she was doing. “And tell me, why should I trust you of all people?” He asked the clone, keeping him away from the smaller creature. “Because I didn’t kill all these ponies,” Akumu said. “Sunbutt over there did to match us, we actually trained to get this strong.” The creature growled before pulling up his hood and scarf, hiding his face. “Fine… lead the way, demon…” “Take my hand, Betty’s clone is about to explode the pillars,” Akumu’s clone said. “Do I seriously have too?” He asked, only to be met by an explosion, Canterlot rumbling as it started to fall. “Fine.”.” He grabbed the pink demon’s hand, which quickly turned pink, expanding into a bubble around the two of them. Reaching into his pocket, the demon grabbed a orb, and the three were teleported away. Sunbootys POV She snarled in rage. That thing had destroyed the supports to Canterlot! This was a double edged sword. On one hand, she had an excuse for the lives that were lost, she could claim that Canterlot falling had killed them all. On the other, this would make her look weak to the remaining ponies around Equestria, and even to foreign powers. Flying up, she went quickly to the castle, where Luna was already picking three of the Mane six up and onto her back, Celestia doing the same for three others, before both teleported out of the ruined city. They appeared in Ponyville, gently carrying the six to their homes and spreading the lie of what had happened. Meanwhile, in the Castle of Two Sisters, now Fear Castle... The Akumu clone appeared in the lobby, letting its two passengers go. The taller one put a hand on his head and looked around. “Um...where are we? I can't see or sense...anything.” “You are currently in the castle of the Two Sisters, home and base of the Fear Twins.” Betty said as she came in, allowing sight to return to normal for the human and pokemon. “So, you’re the unlucky two that were pulled into Celestia's sights.” She added as the Akumu clone disappeared, dispelling itself harmlessly. The human stepped back from Betty and growled. “And you're the soul of fear…” He then put a hand over the pokemon, as if to shield it from Betty. “Yeah, I won’t hurt you. I have no reason to. My mission is against ‘monsters and humans’ not pokemon and humans. You two can be all peaceful all you want,” Betty said with a dismissive wave as Akumu came in. “And why should I trust a demon?” “Because I’m a displaced, like you.” The pink child said with an eyeroll. “No shit. If you weren't, you would have killed me before anything. But that doesn't mean you're good.” “I only have beef with the ponies because they nearly starved me and my bro here to death,” Betty said, wrapping a arm around Akumu. “Besides, I know I’m not good.” The human just stood silent, absentmindedly petting his small companion. “How could I have been good?” Betty asked. “I need to feed Akumu here SOULs just to survive,” Betty said. Akumu felt Betty going into the darker corner of her mind, and stopped her with a hug. She hugged him back, mumbling a thanks to him. “Answer me this. Why am I here? I didn't detect my token anywhere near that area I appeared in.” “Probably something to do with the ritual Celestia did to take all of the SOULs of the ponies that you saw dead and sell them to make herself and her sister stronger,” Betty replied, turning to him. “Hypocrite…” She mumbled. The human stopped petting his pokemon and turned to the twins, his face hidden behind his hood and scarf. “What…?” “Her parents tried to use the same ritual back before we were stoned, so we took their SOULs,” Betty continued. “Plus, Celestia has a unhealthy hate for things looking like or involving me… her sister, on the other hand, is terrified of me.” “So...these ponies...the rulers of this country...just murdered several of their subjects just to get stronger?” He asked, growling. “Dead,” Akumu said “SOULs sold, all ten thousand of them.” The human’s hands turned into fists and he blindingly punched a wall, cracking it. He then put a hand on his face, breathing deeply, trying to calm down. The two waited patiently for the human to calm. “Are you alright?” Betty asked. “Yeah...just…” he let out a sigh. “I heard of a Celestia that was technically bad, but at least she only killed ponies she thought were murders. This...this is downright evil…” “This Celestia believes in the ‘greater good’, it’s her get out of jail free card,” Betty told him with a scowl, venom in her voice when she said greater good. “What’s your name?” Akumu asked suddenly. “Huh?” The human replied, not paying attention. “What is your name?” Akumu repeated. The human looked at one of his hand before saying, “I'm called Dark now. That's the name worth knowing.” Betty finished grumbling. “Want a bag of Senzu beans? I make them all the time.” Betty said. “Uh...what?” “I found the Inspiration Manifestation book, I can make anything I can imagine,” Betty told him. “Wait, doesn't that thing corrupt its user? Or at least drive them crazy?” “If it was anyone else but me,” Betty said with a smile. “But I have a ability that let’s me take control of magic.” “That a thing the original has, or just you?” “It is something the original has. It was shown in the Betty Vs Gaster fight,” Betty replied with a shrug. “I...didn't see that. Last episode I saw prior to...becoming this, was when she killed Sans.” “Yeah, the original doesn’t give the best reputation,” Betty said with a shrug. “I only cosplayed as her because me and Akumu were doing a duo kinda thing.” “Exactly what are your real names?” Dark asked, looking around. “We don’t remember,” Betty and Akumu replied at the same time. “Hmm. Makes me happy we weren't stoned…” “It wasn’t too bad, Akumu was there with me the whole time.” Betty said. Dark stood silent for a moment and looked around the place. “So now what?” “We don’t know…” Akumu and Betty said at the same time. “Do you have a way home?” “Not really. At least, not without Screwball at least. If I was summoned with my token maybe, but this? This is new to me.” “Would she be looking for you?” Akumu asked as Betty handed him a bag of Senzu beans. Dark shrugged. “If she notices we're gone. But considering the time difference between dimensions, and how often I can get sidetracked, she may not come here during my visit.” “Maybe I can use your token to try and send you home?” Betty said. Dark just shrugged and reached into his pocket, pulling out a small silver medallion in the shape of a spider. “Glad I carry a spare,” he said as he tossed it at her. Betty grabbed it out of the air, closing her eyes and concentrating. She was trying to find his universe through it to make him a portal to get there. Betty started to disappear, before Akumu sent power to her, stabilizing her and the newly formed portal. “I-i c-can’t h-hold this, run!” Betty said, sounding strained. Dark nodded, saying, “See ya,” before running straight through the portal. He just made it through as the portal imploded behind him. Betty was panting, on her hands and knees. “T-time to m-make that token…” She said. Akumu helped her up. “Not now, you're too tired,” Akumu said with a concerned expression. “N-nah, I-i can, I-i just n-need a s-senzu.” Betty mumbled. “You gave the last bag you had on you to him, the rest are with me, remember you gave them to me during the last year?” Akumu said with a head shake. “T-then g-gimme one, d-dammit.” Betty said. “No, You’re too reliant on them, take a nap,” Akumu said. Betty tried to argue, but Akumu stopped her by casting a sleeping spell on her, picking her unconscious form up and going back into the chamber on normal time so she could safely rest. > HOPE Dwindles... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd POV, Ponies POV Celestia, Luna, and the Mane six were talking. “My little ponies, I have felt another world connect to our own. I glimpsed into it, and saw another version of us, with many differences. One being a human was there, and another that it did not exist.” Celestia said to the mane six. “If we can get to a sufficiently populated base, we may be able to use the ritual to leave this world and destroy it behind us, saving as many as we can as we leave.” The eight were in Twilight's main room. Suddenly, a earth pony guard came in, bloody and beaten, claw marks through his armour. “P-princesses, I-i have t-terrible news. T-the timberwolves… t-they’re stronger.” The guard said, coughing, before falling over. As if they had followed him, eight timberwolves with one alpha came into the room. The alpha opened it’s mouth to reveal a recorder, it pressing play with it’s tongue. “Excuse me ponies. Your ruler has committed a grievous act of sin. Therefor, I will be retaking my land. This is Gaia, and I hope you were nice all your life. Or this will hurt.” The recording stopped, the alpha crushing it. The wolves charged. Celestia taking a hit, and feeling all of her many sins crawl on her back, wounds seeming to slowly appear on her. She leapt back, and blasted the wolf with solar magic. Despite its upgrades, it stood no chance against the attack. Quickly, she grabbed the rest in her telekinetic hold, lifting them so she could launch another few beams and destroy the wolves. “Did that feel bad, sunnybooty? I hope it did.” Betty’s voice rang out. Celestia turned her head rapidly, finding it coming from a small apparition of the fearling. “I helped Gaia upgrade those. I gave them Karmic Retribution. This is a ability that turns your sins against your fat flank.” The apparition said with a giggle. Snarling, Celestia charged her magic. “Ahahah, do you even want a chance of finding me?” Betty asked with a smirk. Blowing steam through her nose, Celestia halted her attack. “I’m glad I destroyed the monsters. That way, you couldn’t learn how to do SOUL magic. If you’d known, you’d be nothing but HATE. I imagine that you would have a better personality.” Celestia was fuming at this point. Betty looked to be about to brag, before Akumu appeared, slapping her upside the back of the head. “Alright, alright, I won’t brag.” Betty said with a pout. “If you want to find me, dicklestia, me and my new ‘bro’ will be waiting, free  forever… and there’s nothing you can do.” The sunmare blasted the apparition, snarling. Thankfully, Luna had been tracing it the whole time, or this would have been the stupidest of moves. She couldn’t pinpoint it, but it was somewhere near the Tree of Harmony. And that scared them both, Luna moreso. Making sure the six had the elements, they went to the Tree of Harmony. Fear Twins POV Betty giggled as she and Akumu watched the ponies fight through the forest, summoning popcorn. “I give them five minutes before they cry.” Betty said with a giggle. “I bet they rage instead.” Akumu said challengingly. Betty, who was trying to make a robot for mommy-chamber to control, looked to her brother. “I bet you that, if they cry, I’m dom tonight.” She said with a smirk. “I bet if they rage, you have to do whatever I say or want you to do,” Akumu said back. Betty tilted her head a bit. “How long?” Betty asked. She loved her ‘brother’, but didn’t want to be a servant to him forever. “Next thousand years? We’re ageless, so…” Akumu shrugged simply. Betty scrunched her face up a little. “What if they do both?” Betty asked her ‘sibling’. “Then we… switch off every 500 years?” Akumu suggested with a shrug. “Nah, how about we just call it void?” Betty suggested. “Besides, I’m only getting one night, you’re getting a thousand years.” Akumu pouted. He’d hoped she hadn’t caught that. Not to make her do stuff, but to kinda restrain her a bit, she was reckless and it made him worry greatly. He didn’t want to lose her, it was why he took the elements blast, mostly, for her after all. Betty shrugged. “Let’s see what they do.” Betty said with a smile. They looked to the screen and saw them doing both. Celestia raged, the bearers were crying, and Luna was… oddly calm. On the outside at least. They didn’t care nor bothered to check on the inside. “So, neither of us get what we want. Damn.” Betty said with a adorable pout. “Well, most of them cried… so… you can have your thing if you want,” Akumu said with a blush. Betty shook her head. “No, I’m honoring my deal. If anything, I always keep my word.” She said, before turning on the new android she made, based off of 18 and 17. It looked just like Mommy-chambers hologram, but solid. Betty and Akumu carried the android into the chamber, plugging it into the console. It had everything that Androids normally had in it, but could remotely control the chamber. “Well, this is new,” The mommy-chamber said from the droid, standing up and looking around. Akumu and Betty immediately hugged her, the droid smiling and hugging them back. With the ponies… The ponies arrived at the where the Tree was. Walking down the steps, they looked at the giant crystal tree, only to see it dim. Quickly, and without warning, Celestia takes the crystals out of the necklaces and tiara of the element bearers, and put them in slots in the tree’s branches, making sure to fasten them tightly into it. Celestia hoped they were not too late to save the tree, mostly so they had a fallback if they couldn’t fight the two. She’d barely won against that clone, her control as shot as it now was. She was just glad that she didn’t need much control to move the sun, it being mostly power. The tree glowed… before vanishing, taking the elements with it. Harmony had abandoned Equestria, and all it’s inhabitants. > Things get worse... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia was fuming, not understanding why it had left. “Heh, looks like the tree honored it’s end of the bargain.” Another apparition said as it appeared next to Celestia. Already furious and worn from getting here, Celestia just blasted it, before teleporting the group away, not noticing a little metal bug hiding under her mane. Back with the fear ‘twins’... “So, how to make you even better…” Betty mumbled to a timberwolf. She thought of many things, like poison joke, but that’d just mess them up more than it’d help. She also had an idea for more designs of them, maybe a dragon, though didn’t know how to accomplish that, since it’d likely take a lot of magic and wood that big doesn’t really have the most bending capabilities. “How about golems and rhinos?” Akumu suggested. Betty hummed thoughtfully. “And make pack-leaders sentient?” Betty asked. Akumu shrugged, then they could have the pack leaders control the pack and get better over time. Betty poured magic into a pack, and something strange happened. They turned into small little tree-people with big heads and a circular hole that protruded out of their face a couple inches, with leaves for hair or hats. Some of the magic trailed to other packs, making rhinos and golems, with a bigger variant for the leaders. “We should turn Celestia into a deku-scrub,” Akumu suddenly said with a smirk. “Why make her something that’s marginally useful?” Betty asked the pink boy. “Because then Gaia can control her like a puppet since she’ll be a plant.” Akumu replied with a evil smile. Betty’s eyes went wide. “That’s brilliant!” Betty exclaimed, vanishing to go and make the mask. It’d take a little time to re-fit it for a pony afterall. Akumu went to give the everfree the same effect as the lost woods in LOZ, maybe, if it didn’t work, the mask that is, they could have her get lost in this and turn into a skeleton. Akumu suddenly felt really drained. Tired, he teleported home with a little energy, falling onto his bed. He fell asleep, the mommy-chamber silently coming in, tucking him in, and leaving. As the mommy-chamber-android left, it ran into Betty. Betty fell on her booty. “Oh, sorry dear,” Mommy-chamber said, picking her up. “I think I made a breakthrough with the mask I wanna show Akumu!” Betty said excitedly. “He’s sleeping dear, maybe later,” MCA said, patting her head. “We just got up a few hours ago… why is he so tired?” Betty asked with confusion and worry in her voice. “I don’t know, sweetie. You’ll need to ask him when he wakes up,” MCA replied with a shrug. Betty nodded, going off to make more stuff. PONY Pov… Celestia paced back and forth. She and her sister, along with the mane six, were stationed in Phillydelphia at the moment, in a mansion of hers. She was awaiting the response of the rulers of the other nations. The letters soon came in, telling her of their cooperation. Smiling at this, she started making battle plans and preparations. “You think your little gods can beat me? I haven’t even begun to try, and that clone was a mere fraction of my power. They will fall, just like your parents~” Betty cooed to the mare, making Celestia shout in anger and blast the bug. With Luna, in her room, she was trying to get some sleep before she had to patrol the dreamscape. A bug flew in, projecting Betty’s image “You know, it’s funny you two can defeat me. Harmony itself has abandoned you, and you needed it last time to defeat me.” The image said, startling Luna awake. “I mean, maybe if you and the mane six worked together, but you have no idea what I can do.” Betty continued with a shrug. “We will defeat you, and your evil creature!” Luna shouted at Betty. “I’m evil? I only survived, last time. You are the ones that kept attacking me and Kumu.” Betty replied, crossing her arms. “Besides, you just sacrificed thousands of SOULs for power. I only do so to live, not to get stronger.” Fluttershy, who’d been about to come talk to Luna, heard this. This horrified her. Was all of this true? From the sound of it, it was. Did she really just participate in the murder of ten thousand ponies just to kill two things trying to survive? “So what if we did? If we needed to, we’d do it again!” Luna exclaimed. “Yeah. You sold ten thousand SOULs to a void dweller for them to torment. Thats what the dwellers do. They torment people. Just look at me and Kumu.” Betty said with a sigh. “We were taken by one, look at us now.” Fluttershy quickly flew away to tell the others about this. When she found and told them, the reactions were… varied. Twilight denied it, not believing what she perceived to be lies. Rainbow was horrified and questioned her loyalty. Applejack were right beside her, vomiting into a random trash can. PinkiePie had a flat mane and was crying. Rarity had already passed out. Pinkie is the first one to talk after hearing that. “H-how could t-they?” She questioned. “It’s gotta be an illusion or lie! There’s no way the Princess would do something like this!” Twilight said, vehemently denying it. “I-is this t-the kinda tyrant we’ve been living under?” She asked, looking around the room. Applejack spoke then. “I-i don’t rightly k-know, Rainbow Dash,” Applejack said with a frown on her muzzle. Celestia trotted in then. “Of course not, my little ponies,” She said with her most charming smile, standing behind Twilight. “I’d never do that…” The white mare added, horn charging. Acting quickly, a bug appeared, zapping her horn and causing her spell to fritz. Betty’s hologram appeared. “Run, she was about to betray you all!” She shouted, the mane six swiftly galloping away. Betty turned to her and smirked. “Well m-” Was all she got out before she was blasted. It got glazed, but lived. “H-h-he n-n-neeed to m-make this better,” Betty said, her hologram flickering, before it self destructed. Knowing this was a huge risk, Twilight teleported the six back home. She knew spreading the word would be useless, the others needed hard evidence she didn’t have the control to provide, so the six made stories up to their loved ones, except Twilight who took spike with her, and they ran into the everfree, looking for Betty so that they may remain safe. A deku scrub appeared then. “Hello, I shall be taking you to the heralds,” It said in a small squeaky voice, leading them away. With Bitchlestia… Celestia screamed and ranted. “DAMN THAT THING, IT RUINS EVERYTHING!” She shouted, Luna in the background, cowering a little bit on the inside. As her mane lit aflame, she felt something on her. Not caring what it was, she crushed it in her aura. She hears a spark, before she carelessly tossed it away. She saw it was one of Bettys little bugs, and that only made her more furious, her hair and tail igniting into blue fire. “That… that… little thing, was SPYING ON ME!” She shouted, stomping her hoof, causing a small earthquake. It caused a bit of damage, but wasn’t that big, and thankfully no one died this time… this time. “Luna, go into that things dream, find out where they are.” She ordered. Luna shook fearfully at this, dreading the thought of entering Bettys mind, and questioning her sister. It seems Celestia had lost it while she was away. Luna went to bed, closing her eyes and heading into the dreamscape for what she feared would be the final time. > Things get even worse... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luna looked around, searching for the creatures dreams. She really didn’t want to do this, but knew Celestia had… ways to convince her if she argued too much. The blue mare flew down, and saw the pink girl's dream. It felt like pure horror. Taking a deep breath, and praying to her dead parents that she’d be alright, she entered. She found herself in a white cube room, with hatches on each wall in the center. “Hello? Betty? I’d like to speak with thy,” Luna said nervously. “Well, if someone has decided to invade my dreams, they have to-” A betty hologram started, but it was cut off. “Twas not my will that brought me here, my sister demanded it.” Luna said sadly. “Huh… well, you’ll need to survive my cube. It’s very dangerous. You never know what the next room will be. I don’t know how to undo this, so you’ll need to find your way out.” The hologram said with a shrug. Luna frowned. Experimentally, she prodded at the dream with her magic. It was powerful, but had one, major flaw. There was a opening that the spell maker hadn’t noticed, either from their own doing, or, the spell not being complete. She never did get to update her findings on dream magic. It was like a loose thread, unravel that, and the entire defense would crumble. Using her magic, she went towards the thread room, making sure to prod the next room before she did to know what it was. One room dissolved her horse shoes in a bath of acid spray. Since this was a dream, she just summoned another, though seemed mildly annoyed. The next room had weird, razor shaped boxes that floated around and cut things up that they came in contact with. They went in little tornado formations, forcing Luna to time her way through the room. Next was a room that aged things rapidly. This one… had no effect on the mare, being an ageless alicorn. The rooms slowly got more gruesome, but her knowledge of how dreams worked let her get through them, finding the one with the ‘thread’. It was annoying how, occasionally, the thread moved, sometimes closer, sometimes farther, but she eventually got to it anyway. She pulled the thread, unraveling the cubes. She saw a control tower, and felt Betty inside of it. Flying over, she saw the pink being on a observation deck, sitting with a bag of popcorn and a ton of screens, the screens showing where the cubes used to be. She seemed annoyed. “So, moon bitchiness, what do you want?” Betty asked, tossing the imaginary popcorn away, it exploding behind her. Luna seemed a bit irritated at the name, but sighed. “My sister forced me here to gather information.” She told Betty. Betty rolled her eyes, making a ‘go on’ gesture with her hand. “I wanted to talk. My sister is… not herself, recently.” Luna said with a sad look. “I know you and your sister don’t like me, but your sister has a lot of HATE in her, and will do anything to get rid of me. Why should I help you?” Betty asked. “I do not agree with my sister, not in the least.” Luna said sadly. “But it is… hard to say no, to her.” Luna said, her eyes briefly flashing into slits, before going to normal. Betty frowned, looking at Luna thoughtfully. “I think there might be a few spells on you,” Betty said. Luna was about to react, before the sun symbol appeared on her, and her eyes widened as she was violently forced out of the dream and back to her body. Betty watched this with wide eyes, frowning. “That bitch, brainwashing your own sister?! I will enjoy taking your SOUL!” She said in rage. In the waking world… Celestia stood outside the, to her and her guards, revealed castle. “I knew you wouldn’t be so naive for ever, Twilight. I am glad I placed that tracking spell on you while I had the chance.” Momma chamber appeared. “I will need to ask you to leave my childrens property.” She said. “It is still my property, machine. I have the deed.” Celestia replied, holding a copy out. “Now move.” “You are a danger to my children. Initiating protocal:All Out.” The machine replied. Tons of devices came out, being absorbed by the android slowly. Celestia wasn’t dumb, for once, and incinerated her before she could finish. Knowing that, with her damage, she sent the devices back and launched herself towards the guards, initiating self destruct. Unfortunately, Celestia, with her stronger and faster powers, grabbed her in a telekinetic hold and threw her up into the sky, letting her explode in the air, not even bothering to hear her heartfelt last words. Next, the dekus and wolves appeared. Celestia smirked. “You shall not hurt the goddess’s heralds!” The leader-scrub squeaked. “ATTACK!” The two armies clashed… and the wooden enemies bounced off the guard. “Oh, did I forget to mention? These are all freshly trained guardsmen. They haven’t done a single bad thing in thier life.” “Well, I’m glad The Female Herald made backup plans.” The leader sqeaked, using deku nuts to the ground. The guards were temporarily blinded… but that didn’t really help either side much, even giving the knights the advantage, them wildly swinging to defend themselves, preventing the gain of LV as they cut down the wooden wolves and scrubs before they could do anything. The leader went to activate it’s last resort “I am sorry my goddess…” The scrub said, before activating a fiery explosion, killing the guards and wooden defenses. Celestia looked mad for all of a second… before grinning. “Second and third battalions, MARCH!” She shouted. The army marched forwards, the second through eightieth battalions going through the castle. Many were lost through the saw like traps, but there were simply too many ponies for the traps to handle. She still lost two thirds of her main forces… her main forces. The force entered the old throne room, to see pictures of Betty smirking on her old throne with a tiara. Rolling metal golems came out then, them unfolding to reveal metal things with weird pipes for hands and brown backs. The droids deployed their shields, and red plasma fired out of the pipes. Some of the ponies were killed before they deployed their own barriers, unleashing powerful spells back at the droids. It took a while, but the ponies marched on. The ponies marched, not to the room with Betty and Kumu… but with the mane six. Celestia smirked, before blasting the six with a spell that kept them unconscious. “We have the objective, let’s go!” Celestia ordered the army, and the pegasi flew out with her as the unicorns teleported them and their allies out of the old castle, setting it aflame as they did. The castle was burning to the ground. > Shit hits the fan. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The castle was rubble, with only three rooms, Betty’s, Kumus, and the time chamber standing. Going unnoticed to the inhabitants, grey goo seeped out of the rubble, absorbing it. The goo built up, turning to stone as it went. Slowly the goo built the castle back up, stronger than before. It made the castle more sturdy, yet smaller due to lack of material and the inability to pull from the environment without hurting the nature around it. As soon as it was done, Betty came out of her room. “What the hell happened to my castle?!” She asked tiredly as she rubbed a eye tiredly, looking super adorable. Annoyed, she decided to upgrade it to steel, that being more than what the ponies had anyway. She’d like to make it a fictional metal, but didn’t really know the way any were made, just knowing that they were some alloys but not knowing the how. She also, to avoid walking on a cold floor, made the floors a nice carpet, that below that were lightly heated. Except for the trap rooms, which were just cold metal. Betty sees her traps destroyed, and makes them better, adding some sneak things that she wouldn’t reveal right now. One of her favorites was the saw trap, the Rack. It would twists their limbs and slowly twists each limb one my one before it reaches the neck. She cackled evilly at a job well done. With Celestia… Celestia was busy writing a certain network. It was much smaller than the one in canterlot, only covering her estate and the sleeping quarters and positions for the guards, but it’d be enough. It’s be a greatly lesser boost, but she wanted as much of an edge as she could get against the two fearlings. Having ordered her guards to stay in the markers, she put the last rune down and smiled. This time, only her and Luna would be getting the boost. The mane six have proved to… outlive their usefulness. Activating the ritual she tried to use them as well in the ritual. The VD only managed to take the five mares, but the yellow ones, Fluttershy’s, was filled with too much KINDNESS, and it sickened the entity, making it refuse it and send both that soul and her out into the wild. Still, the five mares along with her guards SOULs were enough to give them a good edge against the two fearlings. Doubling down on her spells on Luna, she and her sister flew off to the new castle to fight the two. With the lings of the fear variety. Akumu was crying, having found out that Momma-chamber had been killed, if only temporarily. It still saddened the little fearling greatly. Betty was raging, but was trying to comfort him, sitting next to him and hugging him. Betty looked up, sensing two presences approaching. “You know, we can get a year in before they get here,” She said gently. Akumu shook his head, a blank yet determined look on his face. “No. I can’t wait a year. She needs to pay now,” Akumu said angrily. Betty sighed, but nodded. She wanted to give the two Zenkai, but the process would take too long at this point. Together, the ‘twins’ flew up, leaving the castle and meeting the two alicorns in a large desert. Betty teleported behind Celestia with a double dropkick, knocking her flying away, making a trench behind the mare, Betty flying after her. Akumu looked at Luna, and made his arm into a scythe, ready to fight. He saw a mark appear on her forehead, before she charged at him. Startled at her speed, he barely blocked the attack, grunting in pain as he flew back a bit, scythe cracking. Not one to take this standing, he charged back, firing ki blasts as he went, pink with fear energy. Luna dodged and weaved, deflecting what she couldn’t with her horn covered in a magic aura. This was a distraction, because the scythe turned into a large fist, him punching her and launching her down. The blue mare flared her wings, stopping her decent and charging a beam, firing at Kumu. The fearling fired one back after moving slightly, allowing the two to bypass one another, his heading towards her. The night pony stopped her beam just in time to throw a shield up, it cracking under the pressure. Deciding that it was best to not be here anymore, Luna teleported behind the fearling, kicking him in the back and sending him flying forwards. He turned in mid air, forming his arms into wings and slowing himself to a halt. He had to dodge greatswords as they were flung at him, turning hi arms into blades to deflect some, still getting cut a bit. “Is this all you’ve got, fearling?” Celestia shouted, distracting the two, making them turn to see Celestia on the ground. Betty flew up a little. She snarled a little. “If you’re so confident I can’t hurt you, stay right, where, you, are.” The pink girl said. She got into the pose, body covered in a aura that released lightning as she shook, balls of energy going into her hands. Celestia raised a brow, hands behind her back in a seemingly relaxed pose. Betty was pouring everything into the attack. “PREPARE FOR ANNIHILATION BITCHLESTIA, FINAL FLASH!” A giant beam that easily eclipsed Celestia's entire body shot towards the mare. “How cute, she names it,” Celestia said with a cocky smirk, bringing her hands forwards and launching the magical energy stored in them back at Betty. “Dammit!” Betty said. She poured energy into the struggle, the two beams going back and forth for a little. Celestia let a shout out, her magical energy slowly overcoming the Ki. Betty tried to glitch out… but nothing happened. Bettys eyes widened as the beam overtook her own, screaming out in fear as she felt her body break apart. Luckily, the fear gave her just enough to survive… but half her torso was gone, her legs non existent, and was dusting slowly. “BETTY!” Akumu shouted, flying down to her and putting her in his lap. Betty giggled sadly, raising what’s left of her hand to Celestia. “H-here’s my l-last ‘present’, C-celestia… MULTI ULTIMA!” She shouted. The five orbs vanished as the attack careened to Celestia… who dodged, teleporting a bit away. She got singed by the explosion, and otherwise seemed fine because of the spell she put up. Her eyes widened at the crater made by the attack. Meanwhile, with Betty and Akumu, the latter had his eyes were shadowed. He couldn’t use Omni Heal. The two would destroy him before he could. Instead, he did something… different. “Just avoid the plantlife…” He mumbled. Gathering all the power of the two SOULs in him, his body turned pink, and tendrils shot out. They went at near-light speeds, and impaled everyone with a high LV, including… the gods of each race. Screaming, he pulled the tendrils back in, thousands, millions of SOULs on the ends of them, all into himself at once. A flash went through the air. When the flash was down, there were two beings there. One was Betty, restored to normal, if weakened from the healing. The other was an adult, with a black cloak that oozed wrongness to their senses. Under the cloak was metal, dark and jagged, with spikes on the pauldrons and around it. It essentially looked like what’d you get from a fully corrupted, or ‘evil’, overlord. “You see the wrongness in him, Celestia? That’s all the hate he’s absorbed. You have enough to do so three times over.” Betty said tauntingly. The second figure lowered his cloak, revealing what looked like a humans head, with dark hair that wavered in the air, and eyes that were pools of dark with a rainbow core and pink pupils. “W-w-what are you?!” Celestia cried in fear. “I AM YOUR DESTRUCTION!” The former fearling cried out, launching so forwards so fast he seemed to vanish for a millisecond, before appearing in front of Celestia, knocking her back a hundred miles. Betty appeared next to Luna, sending a disruption wave to the spells in her, making her head shake in confusion as she body turned into that of Nightmare Moons. Not paying attention to this, the former fearling launched after Celestia, uppercutting her just as she got out of the rubble of a building in manehattan. Jumping up after her, his speed was so great that four hims seemed to be bashing her around at once, launching her between themselves like a pinball and making her bloody and bruised. Grabbing her by the neck, he stopped, hovering in the air with his cloak flowing behind him, holding her up. “I was going to turn you into a deku scrub… but that’s too good for you. I have a much better punishment planned.” Celestia's screamed rang out in torment for the world to hear. > Linking things together. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Betty kicked her feet back and forth on a rock. “So, your were Nightmare Moon all along?” She asked the mare, who nodded. “Yes, my sister was… not the kindest,” Nightmare said simply. “She really isn’t. I mean, she sacrificed thousands, close to millions, just trying to kill me and Kumu,” Betty said with a frown. Nightmare Moon seemed a bit down, so Betty opened her arms, offering a hug, which the two did so. As they hugged, something slammed down into the ground right next to them, scaring them half to death. Nightmare shot a random blast of magic into the sky as the purple proto-kumo turned into a shield around herself. Betty soon heard the Oath to Order, giving her an undying urge to hum it. It was a sad but catchy song. Upon Betty’s completion of the song, a familiar fanfare played through the air, causing the wind magic to swirl within the stone’s eye. A wolf howl reaches Betty’s ears. She stood straight, bringing her proto-kumo into scythe form as she looked around. The swirling energy increases and expands until suddenly, a strange wolf leaps out of the hole in the stone, but it wasn’t no normal wolf, not even that of a timberwolf. It appeared to be mostly red in coloration from the upper body as if wearing a cloaked, it’s colors fading  to green and then to grey down to its paws. On it’s forehead what appeared the symbol of Din. Despite having the symbol, the wolf’s eyes were still blue and the triforce of courage could be seen, but it’s partially dim. The last detail to note were the blue earrings the wolf wore on its ears. “Who are you?” Betty asked, ready to strike the strange wolf. “A evil Link?” The wolf growled in annoyance at her accusation before suddenly leap toward her head. Betty pulled her shield in front of her. “Alright, evil then,” Betty said. Despite the shield, the wolf went transparente and lucent, going through the shield and into Betty. Betty felt herself being drawn into a mindscape. Seeing herself in a field, she slammed barriers around her own and Kumus mind, making a similar barrier to the one orochimaru used to trap the third hokage. It was deadly to any that touched it. With a howl and a brief flash, the wolf turned into what appeared to be a humanoid wearing a cloak that hid face and most of his body. On its right hand was a green gauntlet, but nothing out of the ordinary except the fact that this Link appeared to be much different, not even a green cap on its head. On its back was the Fighter’s shield from A Link To The Past, but his sword and scabbard was attached to his hips rather than his back to increase the cloak’s mobility. The sword’s handle gave clear hint that it was indeed the Master Sword, evil’s bane. The man stared at the little girl and her paranoia. “You’re not doing yourself any favors.” The man commented. “That sort of reaction won’t bold well in my judgement.” “Who says you can judge me? Who asked you to?” Betty asked with narrowed eyes, increasing the strength of her barriers. “It’s how I made my token, what? Don’t tell me I’m the first Displaced you’ve met?” the man asked. “A bit.” Betty said thoughtfully. “The guy did not really get here on his own, he was pulled in when Celestia used a ritual to sell SOULs for power a bit ago.” “Then why the hostility approach toward me?” he asked. “Because you literally just jumped into me.” Betty deadpanned. “Recall my previous statement.” he said in minor annoyance as he reached up to lower the hood, revealing what appeared to be a mixed hair style of three different Links along with pointed elven wars, there’s also for the fact that he has facial hair on his face that was a mustache and a goatee. “See? EVIL, EEEVIILLL!” Betty said dramatically, pointing at his goatee. “This coming from Betty who actually did some vile deeds in Glitchtale, would that make you evil as well?” the man said with a smirk. “I only do what I have to to survive,” Betty said, crossing her arms at him. “Does being judgemental count as part of your survival?” he asked, he then raised a hand toward Betty’s side of the mindscape. “Considering your actions and how your mind is altered this place, my judgement tells me you might be evil, would my services be worth it?” he asked the child, forcing her to make a decision here and now. “I am not evil! All I’ve done was so me and Kumu could live!” She shouted at him. “I’m not the one that sacrificed ten thousand souls for power, I’m not the one that would starve people to death, and I’m not the one that would kill an entire species that was just trying to survive, and I wouldn’t brainwash my own sibling!” Her area changed to pitch black as she remembered Celestia's evil deeds, showing they were hers by the obvious darker version of her cutie mark that flashed briefly. Betty had tears in her eyes. “An evil celestia? Of all the universes to end up in, it had to be this. Welp, it can’t be any worse than a world of anthro ponies under Palutena's rule.” he commented. “Okay, why would anyone want to be her? She’s weak…” Betty asked, confused. “And a bit of a dick. I mean, in the first game, if you're not quick enough, she punishes you.” “This is a Displaced Palutena, not her game counterpart. And if I told you all of her titles, we would be here all day.”  he commented Meanwhile, with Celestia and the being… The being paused. Looking back where he came from, he sensed Betty and another in some kind of mindscape. Frowning, he slowly floated that way, dark cloak fluttering behind him, carrying Celestia behind him, her wings and horn just gone. It was slow to him, but he still got there quickly, floating down. He saw Nightmare Moon, looking concerned at Betty. “You. What happened here?” He ordered as Celestia groaned, seeing her work undone. “T-this dog with w-weird symbols on i-it jumped into her,” Nightmare Moon said, scared of him. He frowned, looking at her with narrowed eyes, considering impaling her with his cloak. The only thing that stopped him was Betty having made a friend of her. There is a brief flash and soon, there was another being standing near Betty. “Ugh, my head hurts now…” Betty mumbled. This made the dark-cloaked being immediately turn to the new being, frowning heavily. When the person turned to see him, the elf was given them a caution stare. The dark armoured being let energy wreath around himself, still holding the beaten and bloody Celestia. The being brought a senzu bean out of it’s inventory, feeding it to Betty. “...So much for the high and mighty evil celestia, what happened to the part about her absorbing souls?” the man asked, who betty had much already figured out was some sort of alternative Link. “I never said she absorbed them, she sold them for power. The same kind of being can’t absorb SOULs of the same race.” Betty said, crossing her arms. She turned a concerned stare to the former Kumu “K-kumu, are you alright? Your not acting like yourself.” “I’m fine, Betty. I think I’ll be needing a new name now, however.” He said. “B-b-but c-c-can’t you just bottle t-that hate up?” Betty asked nervously. He tilted his head. “Why? It’s not hurting me. It’s a cloak and not in me for a reason.” The taller one said, but sighed when he saw her nervousness. “Alright.” He consented, summoning a bottle and draining the cloak into it, making the armour look more like the regular Overlord armour instead of the true evil one, his hair going normal as the blackness of his eyes went white. He shrunk a little, looking more like a teenager now, still flowing with power. Betty smiled, going up and hugging him. He hugged her back after putting the bottle away, still holding Celestia up, though she was now kneeling. “So, what will you do with her now?” Link asked as he crossed his arms over his chest. Kumu let Betty go, floating a bit so Celestia was hanging again. “Huh, I don’t know. I could eat her SOUL, but it’s just so vile I don’t think I want to,” The being said. For some reason Celestia looked offended. This is good you stupid cunt. “Why don’t we just sell her to the void to get the SOULs she sold back?” Betty asked. The being that should really be renamed shook his head. “No, hers is too… ick to even be worth one of those back, let alone the thousands or others.” He said with a frown. Link approached the downed Celestia and kneeled down. “So tell me, Princess Celestia, what will you do now, seek redemption or continue this path?” he asked. “I did… what I did… for the greater… good…” Celestia grunted out defiantly. “But did you ever stop and think?” Link asked as he pointed a thumb behind him, “She’s a Displaced, meaning a human forced to become another person that she didn’t choose to be.” he explained before lowering his hand. “Case and point, she needed souls to survive as accordingly to the body.” “Things like it only deserve to be destroyed,” Celestia snarled. “Much like you?” Link said as he got up from his kneeled position. “Your judgement will be handed by Betty and… ” Link turns to look at the starry sky maned mare. “And Nightmare Moon.” “Shots fired!” Betty said in the background. “Also I’m just going to go by Kumu until I figure out a better name,” Kumu commented. “Compared to you, me and Kumu are saints,” Betty said to Celestia, sticking her tongue out childishly at the mare. Celestia, surprisingly, stuck hers right back… before trying to lung at betty, only to receive an armoured boot to the base of her spine, stomping her into the ground. “I warned you, Princess Celestia.” Link said with a sigh. “Nope, you aint going anywhere,” Kumu said as he summoned a very overlord looking axe, holding it up, ready to chop her head off. Link turned his back, not daring to watch what was going to happen, this wasn’t his world after all and thus wasn’t his place to judge when he knows nothing about it. “Hey Kumu, why don’t we do this in front of the ponies?” Betty asked. “I’ve seen enough, I’m not needed here, so could you send me back?” Link asked with a sigh. “Oh, do you want anything before you go? Senzu beans, training capsule… anything,” Betty said. Kumu picked Celestia up. “Despite I haven’t worked for it?” Link asked with a raised eyebrow. “You did try to help, so just pick something.” Betty said with a shrug. “Your kinda cool when you’re not jumping into people’s minds.” “Like I said, I made the token as a precaution measure, there are many Displaced out there and I need to judge my summoners before I help them, it's a vast universe out there and I don’t know what going on in each world.” Link explained before thinking about Bettie’s offer, he soon reaches into his pouch before pulling out a small Hero’s Bow that suddenly grows to it’s original size when its out. “Alright, what do you want on it?” Betty asked, taking it. “Just an upgrade, perhaps enchant it to heal me passively while allowing the arrows to pierce barriers, shields, mostly anything magical that isn’t made of iron, steel, so on and so forth.” Link explained. Betty nodded, concentrating as she added the enchantments to the bow. She then brought out a bow that had feathers, combining it with the bow, and then making two orbs and sending them into Link, panting as she handed the bow back. “Shining Shot and Hallowed Arrow? Nostalgic.” Link commented with a wide smile “Betty, we still need a token,” Kumu suddenly brought up. “Really? I couldn’t tell,” Betty snarked, making Kumu roll his eyes at her. “Seriously? That other guy never taught you?” Link asked with a raised eyebrow. Both of them shook their heads in the negative. “This is pretty much an old age answer since I gotta explain it to every new displaced I meet, Farore knows how many times she’d heard it.” Link said with a joking chuckle. “Its simple, just focus your energy into an existing item and then just deliver a message into it. However.. I’m going to give you a small warning because the moment you send that token into the void, all sorts of other displaced will summon you both good and evil, so try to add a precaution like I did.” Link explained before pausing for a second. “And when they do summon you, you’re somewhat in their control, they have your  token and they have the choice whether or not they will send you back by saying four simple words ‘Your contract is complete.” he said. “Alright,” Kumu said, thinking. “Now what should we make it be…” Betty made what looked a copy of her SOUL. Kumu gave an approving nod. “Want to charge it together?” Kumu asked. Betty nodded, and the two poured a bit of energy into the copy. “We don’t really care who you are, as long as you’re not a dick, and don’t betray us, we’ll help out.” Betty said. “Yeah,” Akumu agreed. “Though we reserve the right to leave whenever we want.” Link couldn’t help laugh at that. “That’s one way of doing it.” Link said as he puts away his new upgraded bow, it took his pouch a while to recognize it before accepting it in. “Your contract is complete,” Betty said to Link, before passing out. Kumu sighed, catching her. Idly, he pointed a finger at Celestie, a orb of rainbow energy appearing and blasting out, turning her to stone. “I’ll deal with you later.” Kumu said. With the contract completed, Link did a quick salute before being encased in a diamond crystal before being sent across the void back to his world. Putting the bitchlestia statue in his inventory, Kumu picked Betty up. “You go take over ruling the ponies until we come back.” Kumu said to the nightmare, before teleporting back home with Betty and setting her to bed. > Settling a score. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------     Kumu teleported into the middle of ponyville, the statue of Celestia next to him, and carrying Betty, who clung to him in her sleep. Kumu held a hand out, putting cameras hovering above himself, connecting to screens all across the world.     “Beings of Equus!” He shouted, for them all to hear, Betty wearing magic earmuffs. She mumbled in her sleep, curling close to him. “I have today, an execution to show you. Viewer discretion is advised.”     Turning to the statue, he shot another rainbow beam at it, returning Celestia to her battered but animate state. “This is Celestia, the mare who moves the sun, the mare who ‘loves’ her subjects… as tools.” Kumu said. Betty seemed to smile in her sleep. “Today, she dies.”     Kumu kicked Celestia down onto her front, keeping her there with an armoured boot. “Her list of crimes are as follows. Multiple accounts of dark-ritual usage, multiple accounts of sacrificing, murder, brainwashing, and attempted serious neglect of a foal.” Kumu said, stomping on her spine a bit, making her cry out in pain.     “For all of these, she dies.” Kumu said.     “I-i-i… d-d-did… w-what I d-did… f-for the greater-” Celestia tried to say, but got a boot to the head. Betty giggled in her sleep.     “No one wants to hear it, parasite.” Kumu said coldly. Making a bed appear, he gently set Betty in it, who reached for him, before turning to Celestia. “Now, here is the part where I kill her, and drop her right into Hell. Not Tartarus, Hell.”     “W-what in the Tartarus is hell?” A random pony asked.     “Tartarus… a thousand fold. On a good day.” Kumu replied. Raising up his arm, his axe formed in it. With one hand, he swung it down, cutting off Celestias ass. “Huh, coulda sworn that was her head. She seems to talk from there often.”     Shrugging, he raised the axe again as Celetstia screamed in pain. Annoyed at the noise, he lowered it again, cutting her head off this time. Maybe. Coulda been another ass. Betty sat up, headphones off, before seeing the dead Celestia.     “Oh… I didn’t get to see the good part…” Betty said, disappointed. In response, Kumu snapped his fingers, restoring Celestia to how she was a couple seconds ago. Looks like someone SAVEd.     “Y-y-you can use DETERMINATION now?!” Betty asked, wide eyed.     “Of course. I have like, nine rainbow SOULs in me.” Kumu replied with a shrug. He then proceeded to do over the execution exactly the same way.     “Are you sure you got her head this time? You coulda hit her ass again,” Betty said with a mischievous smirk.     “All of her is a ass, really,” Kumu replied with a simple shrug.     “So there’s no missing it?” Betty replied with a giggle. Kumu simply shook his head, before grabbing the SOUL before it could escape. It was a dark rainbow SOUL. Draining it dry of the good bits, what few there were, like maybe two, Kumu slashed with the axe, opening up a fiery hellscape that he tossed the rest into, closing it soon after.     Betty tilted her head. “Did you just throw her in the netherrealm from mortal kombat?” She asked.     “No, I threw her into Hell. The worst Hell.” Kumu told her. The ponies were terrified of the two strange beings, especially the tall armoured one. Not caring for them in the slightest, Kumu picked Betty up bridal style. “Let’s get outta here,” He said, opening a portal above him to the nearest connected world, going through.     They appeared in a modern like world. A world with no magic portals, no banished sirens, no magic geodes. A perfectly mundane world, except for the fearling and her soul. Kumu set Betty down, smirking.     “Finally… we're free, Betty. None of those bigots from equestria can touch us here,” Kumu said, setting her down on the top of the building.     “So we don't have to fight anymore?” Betty asked looking hopeful as kumu had known of one of her secret wishes not to actually have to fight anymore. Despite all her bravado, all the endless killing got… depressing, after a while.     “No more fighting,” Kumu replied, hugging her. “Now we start a new life… preferably far from any and all idiotic beings.” Kumu said, grimacing a bit. Where there is Civilization, there are idiots. With that, Kumu carried Betty into the wilderness. The End.
