I laid in a hospital bed, like I have been for the past two years. My name is Alexis, I don’t have much of a memory of how I got here. All I remember is I was crossing the street then BAM, I was on the ground with the sound of a car screeching away. Then the next thing I knew I was in a hospital bed unable to move anything. I was trapped in the darkness of my mind, unable to move, only think... I believe I was in something called a coma. Two years passed as I was unable to speak, move, or anything. All I could do was hear the outside world. And let me tell you...nothing interesting ever happened around me. Friends would come and visit to see if I was still alive, Family would come occasionally but most days it was me, my thoughts, and the cleaning ladies’ soaps. I got super into them too...I really wanted to know if Alejandro ever got with Isabella or if she went with Miguel to that Jurassic park sounding place. Let's be honest I just came up with half the storylines myself because the cleaning lady leaves halfway through an episode...it's super annoying as I desperately want to know what happens to Alejandro. Will he become King of the Pirates? Well anyway... It was a regular day, well it was a few days from Christmas. I was listening to the soap opera while the cleaning lady and the nurses did their jobs. I was shocked to learn that Isabella was now pregnant with a velociraptor...again I make my own plotlines. But as we were about to learn who Miguel’s father was, the tv suddenly went to an emergency broadcast. Something about riots in the major cities. I didn’t quite catch all of it as I was processing the plot twist I had just come up with. The cleaning lady and the nurse sounded worried about whatever was going on out there, I just hoped my Family was safe. Be a real shame if they ended like me or worse. The day passed the hospital was going through quite the turmoil, it sounded a lot busier than normal. After a while, I just fell asleep as there was nothing I could really do. The last thing I remember is hearing that the military took over the hospital but it didn’t affect me so I stopped paying attention. Something felt different though I couldn’t tell. Maybe it was the fact that I only saw a white void instead of the regular darkness I always saw. “This is weird?” I said while I grabbed my head. I paused as I slowly looked down and screamed in confusion. “I can move?” I shouted in shock. Then I grabbed my throat “I can speak?” I said, still shocked “Am...am I dead?” “Of course not, you're just fully continuous now.” A voice spoke from behind me. “Eep!” I said startled before I turned around and saw a man with a table and two chairs. “Who are you?” I asked. “That is a good question, but why don’t you take a seat and we can talk.” the man said as I took a seat. “So you’re an interesting case.” “Huh?” “You managed to pass the test by sleeping.” “I was in a coma!” I said angrily before calming down and asking “Also what test?” “Nevermind that, look the short of it is, you passed a test that quite a lot of people failed.” He paused to mutter something under his breath “So you’re being rewarded, you can either go back and experience a world where today never happened as it did or-” He started explaining. “Look I’m going to cut you off. I was in a coma for almost three years and you’re offering to send me back as a reward? No thanks, whatever option 2 is I’ll take it.” I said firmly. “Alright.” he said, clapping his hands together. “I’ll just say this, back on earth you’re going to be replaced by a clone, She’ll be exactly like you in every way. It's just so your family and those who know you don’t question where you’ve gone. And because I’ve been asked before erasing everyone's memories of the people who passed the test would result in a...lets call it a paradox, due to how many people passed the test.” He explained “Okay, first can I request that my clone wake from her coma on Christmas?” I asked. The Man looked confused when I asked this question. “Alright, but you know I could have her wake up the today that will happen, right?” “Yes, but it will make it seem like a Christmas miracle if I er she woke up on Christmas morning. Please my family deserves something special after two years of worrying whether I’m still alive or just brain dead.” I pleaded with him. “I’ll do it, do you have anything else you wish to ask for?” I thought for a good minute before the man spoke up “I see you're having some problems deciding on what you want. Or perhaps you don’t know what's on the table?” He said while pulling at his goatee before smiling. “Alright I’ll ask a simple question, wasn’t there something you wanted but couldn’t get because it was fictional? Let me answer that for you, Yes. I can offer you ANYTHING your heart desires just name it.” he explained while handing me an orb. “Just think about it and it will become yours.” I stared at the orb not knowing whether everything here was real or not. I had an inkling of what I wanted. Suddenly it flashed golden and in my hands...or rather on my arm was the Ultimatrix from Ben 10. “Interesting. Would you like some information on that?” The man asked as I was a little confused to what he was asking “You’re not the sharpest mind, are you? Anyway, I was just asking if you wanted to know anything about the series before you leave. Maybe some Alien names?” “Oh sure I guess, I mean he probably gets a bunch of new aliens in the future anyway.” I said as he tapped my head. “There.” He said pulling his finger back “Now it should feel like you’ve seen every episode from the original series to Omniverse.” “Omniverse?” “Nevermind that, anyway it's time for you to head out I have others to see. Unless you have another wish?” “Oh yeah Can I have my aliens randomized so It's not just all aliens that Ben has had?” he nodded and tapped my Ultimatrix with his fingers before snapping his fingers with his other hand, sending me away. > Celestia's day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the castle of Canterlot Celestia looked towards the moon from her room, “Just a few short days Sister and you’ll be free.” She said with hope in her voice. She was tired, tired of doing her sister's job, tired of the celebration of the saddest day of her life, tired of the false face she had to make daily. “Princess!” A guard spoke from outside her room “It is time for you to Start Court.” And the nobles, once a title that meant more than just prude cowards who revel in what their great great great grandfather did. “I’ll be there soon.” She said putting on the last of her jewelry. She sighed as this was going to be another morning of ‘My ego was broken by a pony, I demand you send them to the moon.’ If it wasn’t for her council being run by the old guard of nobles she could redo the entire noble system. But she knew if she tried that with the current council running things she would be kicked off and might even lose the title of leadership and have more corruption in the system. Some days she wishes that she could just flee, live somewhere remote, and start a family. But she knew that it would cause too many problems with the world. As she walked into the throne room and took a seat on her throne she reminded herself that after lunch she would be spending time at her school which honestly was a better time. “Alright.” Celestia said taking a deep breath and putting on her ‘Smile and Wave’ face “Send in the first wave of nobles.” and with that, the day started. In the afternoon Celestia was genuinely happy, No nobles to deal with only children who honestly acted more mature than most of Canterlot’s so-called elite. “Princess?” A colt asked as Celestia came out of her bliss induced zoning out. “Yes, Blue streak?” Celestia asked knowing it was probably a question to go to the bathroom. “What's that thing?” he asked while pointing at some kind of leg in a tree. “I don’t know...” Celestia said suspiciously, the leg was too big to be a foal's leg so she used her magic to lift and move the owner of the leg. “Hey!” The leg's owner said while probably grabbing onto a branch before being pulled out of the tree all while saying “Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!” as they were brought out into the light. They were pink-skinned and barely had any fur...they were also covering themselves as they were naked. Their face turned red as they screamed in fear and confusion. “Princess?” A guard shouted as two others came to see what that scream was. “Ah Royal Flush, you three keep an eye on the children while I’ll deal with this.” Celestia said right before teleporting away in a flash of light with the naked stranger. “But-” Royal Flush tried to speak before she was gone. “*Sigh* You heard her.” He said to the other two guards looked at each other in worry. In Celestia’s personal room a flash of light came in as Celestia and the stranger arrived via teleportation. The stranger backed away as Celestia looked at her with anger, only to realize that the stranger was both confused and scared. Her anger calmed a bit as she turned to her disappointed mother's voice. “Why were you in that tree naked?” The stranger stammered saying “I-I don’t know, I just woke up there. I don’t even know where I am or what's going on.” Celestia went on one knee and asked. “What's the last thing you remember?” “I was in a hospital bed then I was in a void with a strange man, then I was in that tree” The stranger explained before pausing and asking herself “Wait, was I naked in that whit void too?” before her face turned more red. “Could you tell me your name?” “Alexis, my name Is Alexis Jones.” “Okay Alexis, I’m Celestia.” Celestia introduced herself before standing up and muttering to herself. “I know I should have some of her old clothing around here somewhere.” As she dug through a closet she said an ‘Aha!’ as she pulled out a leather jacket and some old-looking clothing. “This used to belong to...” She paused feeling uncomfortable thinking about who these used to belong to. “Well nevermind who they belonged to they’re not coming back so You can have them.” She said handing the clothing to Alexis. “You can dress behind the partition over there.” Celestia said pointing to a large fabric room divider. In a few minutes, Alexis was dressed and walked out from behind the partition “Okay whomever this used to belong to...was at least a tad smaller than me.” Alexis said, noting the chest. “Well, anyway, I’ve sent for somepony to look after you while I head back to deal with the children.” And with that Celestia teleported away. > Twilight sparkle and a change of plans > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My bisexual furry ass was confused by Celestia. She was giving off serious mommy vibes and I don’t know how to handle that. As I wandered the room I didn’t want to make this ‘somepony’ wonder where I was. I decided to take a seat on the pillows that covered ground that was the center of the room and flip through the Ultimatrix’s aliens to see what I had. I saw I had about an even split of Ben aliens and some stuff that I didn’t recognize even with that old man's memory thing. “Hello?” A voice asked as I sat up. It was a cute Lavender unicorn wearing a T-Shirt and jeans and a purple lizardman who was not wearing anything strangely enough. “Hi, I’m guessing you’re the ‘somepony’ that Celestia mentioned,” I said standing up and extending my hand to greet her. “Right... I’m guessing by the way you look you’re Alexis?” She asked. “Yep,” I said nodding. “Okay, I’m Twilight Sparkle.” She said introducing herself. “So Celestia said I have to watch over you.” She explained. “So we're just going head over to my library and you’ll be there.” she said in a dead tired voice. “Come one Twilight you can show someone Canterlot, isn’t that better than a musty old library.” the Lizardman said “We’re heading back to the library.” “Okay, lead the way then.” I said as we walked out. The walk towards Twilight's library was long and quiet on her end, I wanted to ask questions but every time I started to speak Twilight would just glare at me as if I was ruining her day. When we finally got there she had me sit in a corner and said  “Okay you’re not moving from this part of the library till Celestia decides to do whatever she’s going to do with you.” “Wow, I must have really ruined your day if you're this angry about having another person to talk to other than the Lizardman?” “Dragon, and my name is Spike.” Spike stepped in and said. “I was in the middle of writing to Celestia about an actual threat to the world and now I have to play Foalsitter for some hairless monkey who-” Twilight said angrily before Spike just dragged her away before coming back. “Sorry about her, she's just on edge since Celestia wants her to head to Ponyville and overview a celebration. I wanted her to go to a party and have her relax.” He explained before sighing. “Celestia wants her to make some friends, and she’s not too happy about that.” “Wow.” Was all I could say as he handed me a book. Daring Do. “Huh, this looks interesting.” “Yeah this is the first in the Daring Do series, Mom...er Twilight Velvet helps make these with some writer named A.K Yearling they’re really good.” Spike explained. I took a seat and began reading it. It's been so long since I held a book in my hand even before the coma. A few hours passed as I devoured book after book, I was always a speedy reader and just having something other than the soap opera to fill my head with ideas was fantastic. “Twilight?” A familiar voice came as I looked up from my book and saw Celestia. “Hey.” I greeted before heading back into the book, it was a take on Harry Potter only with very big changes...other than the fact the world was populated by ponies. “Ah Alexis, good to see you.” Celestia said before turning back to Twilight. “Tomorrow before you go for Ponyville I want you to help Alexis get some clothing that fits her, as she will be joining you in Ponyville.” Twilight looked around and said, “Oh I can’t go to Ponyville, I’ve made a prior commitment with Moondancer, But Alexis can go in my place.” Celestia narrowed her eyes and glanced at me. “Uhh, sure I can go for you...” I said nervously. “See it's decided.” Twilight said, clapping her hands together “Alexis can go in my place. And I’ll stay here...er head to Moondancers sleepover.” Yeah, something was up with her. Celestia looked at Twilight then at me with an unsure look on her face. “Very well but I’ll have a guard escort you to the party” Twilight looked devastated by that news, I had a feeling she had an ulterior motive for avoiding this. “Oh and since Spike was so excited to head to Ponyville he’ll be heading there with Alexis.” “I’m okay with this.” Spike said, as Twilight looked more frustrated and she wasn’t hiding it so well. Before Celestia made her leave she said. “Alexis I’ll send a guard to have you meet me in an hour. We’ll deal with your clothing then.” I looked at Spike and he shrugged before I walked up to Twilight and put my hand on her shoulder “Oh Twilight trust me there are worse things than going to a party, you could be continuous while in a coma. For two years.” I said confusing her as the Ultimatrix beeped. “What was that?” Twilight asked, distracting her. “It's my watch, it's slow but it can tell when people are lying.” I joked before saying “Anyway I'm going back to the books, they're a lot of fun.” In Celestia’s tower room, she was unsure of what to do for the first time in a few centuries. Twilight Sparkle, one of the chosen by the elements, would not be heading down to Ponyville to meet the others chosen by the elements. This was a problem, she was also throwing Alexis to the proverbial wolves by having her go In Twilights place. Celestia had no way of figuring out what to do, if she demanded Twilight head to Ponyville it might drive her away, but if she told her the truth it also might cause her ego to get inflated and the prophecy of the Mare in the moon to not happen as told. She would just have to hope that 5 elements would be good enough to purify Luna. > To Ponyville with love > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the night came and went I met with Celestia who had gotten my measurement for my clothing and had managed to get a bunch of clothes for me. Now Celestia was seeing me off. “Okay Alexis as you know I’m sending you and Spike off to Ponyville, It should be a two-day trip so you both should be fine, Spike knows who you're looking for and. Here is a little something for you to spend on food. Oh and don’t open this till after the Raising the Sun part of the Celebration” “So why are we here I thought we would take a carriage or a train or something?” I asked while wondering why we were in a courtyard. “Oh, your ride is there.” She said pointing to the two muscular pegasi hooked up to a chariot. “Oh, you can’t be serious.” I said, having a fear of heights. She was serious. I held onto the front of the chariot with all my might and screamed in fear for about half an hour. Until Spike noted that we were about to land. I sighed in relief as all that screaming couldn’t have been good for my lungs. “Sorry about the screaming.” I said to the guards as they rolled their eyes. “I’m going to guess it's your first time flying like that?” The left guard spoke. “Yeah, but It's also the fact there is nothing really to keep me from falling out from the back.” I answered as the two looked at each other. “There’s an enchantment to prevent ponies from falling out.” The guard on the right answered in a deadpan voice. “I tried to tell you.” Spike said. “Hehe sorry.” I said sheepishly with my face turning red. “Does your face do that often?” “Do what?” I asked. “Turn red.” “Only when I’m embarrassed or something you're not ready to hear about.” I said it was made clear to me that he was a baby dragon so I probably should keep my talk PG. “Anyway thanks for the ride...but I might take the train back to Canterlot. No offense.” I said to the guards as they just shrugged and began to fly with the chariot. “So Spike who do we need to find?” Spike pulled a list out of his bag. “Okay, we need to find Applejack who is doing Banquet preparations. She will be at Sweet Apple Acres, Rarity who will be doing the décor. She will be at the town hall, Fluttershy, who will be preparing the music. She should be near her cottage on the edge of town. Rainbow Dash who will be doing Weather management, She should be somewhere in town. And that should be it.” he finished putting away the list. “Okay Let's head to Sweet Apple Acres, with any luck they'll have some lunch for us.” I said confidently. “Okay, but do you know where to go?” Spike asked. “Uuuuuh? Let's ask that Pink pony over there?” I said walking up to a Pony wearing a T-shirt one size too big and short shorts. I was getting some wholesome Party girl vibes off her...as well as maybe some yandere vibes too and honestly, I just wanted her to do adult things to me. But I brushed off my feelings and asked her “Excuse me can you tell us where-” and mid-sentence she jumped up and gasped before fleeing. “Hey, Spike...do I look ugly by Pony standards?” “No?” He said, confused. “Okay, so there is a chance.” I said, confusing him more “Well anyway I think I saw a farm on the outskirts of town maybe that's it.” The walk to Sweet Apple Acres was a good twenty-minute walk. “Man I hope the food will be good.” I said to Spike. “Well, Celestia chose this place for a reason.” As we got to the main gate I was greeted by an orange Pony with a cowboy hat and some western clothing. I got some kind of homegrown feeling off her. “Howdy, y'all must be the inspector for the Summer Sun Celebration.” The Orange pony said before introducing herself “I’m Applejack nice to meetcha.” I stood there in silence while Spike tapped my side sending me out of my imagination “I’m Alexis and this is Spike we’re here to see on the food.” “Ah of course.” Applejack said as she rang a bell and shouted “Soups on!” as about a hundred ponies flooded out of the farm, some came from the barn while others came from the apple orchards. It was a sight to see. I was starving so when she laid about a bunch of apple treats on the table. Oh boy, it was chow time. “I can’t believe you ate 20 pies.” Spike said in amazement as we walked towards town. “Eh, I’ll let you in on a secret. But don’t tell anyone else, I was in a coma for two years, so any food is divine enough to eat till you're sick.” Spike stopped when I said that. “What?” He asked, shocked. “Yeah I woke up yesterday, It's a long story and I don’t want to tell it.” I said in a serious tone. “Anyway, we need to find Fluttershy next right?” I asked as I was tackled by a blue streak. “What do you want with Fluttershy you monster!?” “Are you an angel come to step on me?” I asked while I was dizzy so I didn’t really have time to think about what I said. “What?!” She asked confused...and a little red in the face. “Hey get off her.” Spike said pushing the pony off me. “Ugg what hit me...and more importantly can I threaten a lawsuit so I can have enough gold to buy Sweet Apple acres and-” I paused and said “Nevermind,” I said getting up. “So who tackled me, Spike?” “Some punk with a rainbow haircut.” he said dryly as Iooked at the Blue pegasus wearing a sports jacket with a tank top underneath and sports shorts. “Hey the name’s Rainbow Dash!” she said, offended. “Oh, we were also looking for you. You’re supposed to be managing the weather for tonight...whatever that means.” I said not quite getting an understanding on how this stuff works. “I will, I just got to rest up.” “Oh and tackle cute girls? If you wanted a date you could have just asked.” I said making her face red again. “Whatever, Why are you looking for Fluttershy anyway?” She asked. “We need to make sure her stuff is ready for the celebration.” Spike said as we began to walk away. “Whatever.” She said flying up and doing her job. “Well that was weird” I said “What the fact you asked her to step on you?” “I did?” I said, embarrassed putting my face in my hands. “Oh and your watch beeped a few times, once when you shook Applejacks Hand and again when Rainbow tackled you. I thought it only beeped for lies?” Spike asked confused. “Oh, that was a lie to make Twilight angry.” I said as he was even more confused. “Then why did it beep?” He asked. “You’ll find out eventually,” I told him as we came across a cottage near the woods. I stopped and asked, “Do you hear that?” Spike paused and nodded as we went to see behind a bush as Yellow pegasus in a turtleneck that was probably one size too big and pink jeans was floating near some birds. “Oh my. Um, stop please, everyone, umm. Excuse me, sir? I mean no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny-tiny bit off. Now, follow me, please. A-one, a-two, a-one two three-” she stopped as I accidentally stepped on a twig. “Eep!” she said retracting into her sweater as the birds flew away. “Oh sorry I didn’t mean to scare you, I’m Alexis I'm supposed to get a status on the music for the celebration. It looks like your birds are back so I’ll let you go back to your work.” “Okay.” she said meekly before Spike came out of the bush and she shouted in glee “A baby dragon!” “Hi,” Spike said, confused. “I’ve never seen a baby dragon before!” Fluttershy said happily. “Umm if you want you can come with us while we check in town. We only have one stop left till we head to the library for the night.” I said hoping that this angle would follow me. “Sure.” She said happily as we walked to town. Twenty minutes later we were back in town and I was tired of hearing Spike talk about himself “And that's my entire life story.” Spike finished. “Okay, this is the town hall and where we part ways for now. Spike, you head to the library with Fluttershy, I’ll deal with Rarity.” I said. “Uhh sure.” Spike said as he started to head to the library and kept talking to Fluttershy. “Finally.” I muttered to myself as I walked inside the town hall. “Hello?” I shouted as I saw the place decorated in ribbons. “Wow,” I said as a unicorn in a light blue vest and a purple skirt walked in with a basket of ribbons. “Ah you must be the one Celestia sent to make sure that everything is perfect.” the Unicorn whom I assumed was Rarity said. “I’m guessing you’re Rarity.” I said. “Yep, also what happened to you, your clothing is ruined and your hairs a mess.” She said as I noticed that the back of my jacket was covered in mud. “Aw man, I just got these too.” I said disappointed before Rarity grabbed my hand. “Come on I know a place where they can fix this.” She said dragging me someplace. “But what about the decorations?” I asked following her. “We were nearly done anyway so Derpy and BonBon can take care of the rest.” she said. Two hours passed as Rarity took me to a spa, it was super relaxing...and a little stressful, ironically. Considering I gained yet another crush today, seriously how have I fallen in love with five different people...er ponies in the span of an afternoon. “Thanks for that.” I said as I got a fresh set of clothing. “Oh, its wasn’ problem.” Rarity said as we walked to the Library. “Umm, this tree is the library right?” “Yes?” Rarity said, confused. “Nothing it is... I just find it weird that a tree is a library instead of something less” I paused looking for the right word “flammable.” I finished. “Well, I do see your point. Anyway, I think we shouldn’t keep Pinkie waiting any longer.”  “Who?” I asked, opening the door as the lights were off. “Rarity?” I asked as a flash of light blinded me for a second. “Surprise!” a group of ponies shouted as I was surrounded by a party. > Nightmare Moon's return and the first transformation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Surprise!” A bunch of voices shouted as I covered my eyes from the bright lights turning on. “Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Where ya? Where ya? Huh huh huh?” Pinkie said as I recognized her as the pony from earlier that made me feel insecure for a second. “Nice to meet you.” I said slightly confused. “Thanks, anyway I was surprised when I saw you as you were a new pony, you’re a pony right, anyway I saw you when you first got here and was surprised when I didn’t recognize you 'cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville!” She said before taking a big breath. “Okay cool it.” I said as she stopped. “Thanks for the party. It really is nice but I need to sort some things and rest up for the celebration tomorrow.” I said before turning to Spike “You too mister you need to head to bed so you can be up for the celebration tomorrow.” I said loudly. “Aw crabapples” he said walking toward the stairs. “You don’t want to stay at my party?” Pinkie asked while her hair turned straight. “Nononononono. That's not it, I just have to rest up to watch the celebration, it's my first...whatever this celebration is. I want it to be memorable.” I explained Her hair fluffed up back to its puffy state before she shouted “Sorry everypony, Party is canceled I don’t want to ruin someponies’s first Summer Sun Celebration.” and the entire party looked at each other wondering stuff before shrugging knowing Pinkie wouldn’t cancel a party for no good reason. I felt very guilty as I just ruined a party made for me. “I’m sorry about this Pinkie, I didn’t want to ruin your fun.” “Oh don’t apologize I can just throw you a party later!” She said all bubbly. “T-thanks,” I said scratching the back of my head in embarrassment. As the night progressed and 4 am came. We all gathered in the town hall and waited for the event to begin. I walked up next to Pinkie and asked “So what’s happening Pinkie? This is my first Summer Sun festival and I want to know what is going to happen.” “Oh well, Celestia is going to raise the sun and then we party!” She said all bubbly. “Right...raise the sun.” I said not believing her. “OH, it's starting!” Pinkie said bouncing. As I watched I had a strange feeling, glancing at the moon something was off, the horse on it was vanishing. ‘Oh this can’t be good’ I thought to myself while Spike tugged at my shirt sleeve. “What is it, Spike?” I whispered. “You dropped this earlier and I forgot to give it to you.” He said handing me a piece of paper. “Oh right this.” I said, grabbing and opening it, Celestia did tell me to open it during the celebration...Maybe it was a letter to have me go backstage or something. I opened it and started to read Alexis If you are reading this you either opened this after leaving or followed my instructions. Either way find Applejack, Rarity,  Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, And Fluttershy. They are the keys to save Equestria from eternal night. Head to the old Everfree castle within the Everfree forest and Find the Elements of Harmony. Defeat Nightmare Moon and save my sister. Celestia I wondered what she was talking about but as I looked back up I saw a black and Blue pony, that looked like Celestia wearing blue armor. “MY beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious little sun-loving faces.” The blue pony said smugly. “Spike, get the ponies out of here and find the five we were sent here to meet to the library.” I said activating the Ultimatrix. “you wanted to know what that beeping on my watch was...well watch and learn.” “Do none of you know who I am?” The Blue pony asked. I had guessed she was Nightmare Moon. “Spidermonkey!” I shouted, transforming into Spidermonkey. “What! That's not even close?” She said offended as I swung in and kicked her in the face. “What!” She screamed in confusion as I began to web her up. “Tell me what you’ve done with Celestia ook ook” I said as she turned into a mist and freed herself from the webbing. “You’ll never find my sister You sun-loving beast.” She said “Oh trust me I’d love to be a sun lover.” I said Flinging myself towards and kicking her out of a window. I landed on the ground and quickly turned to Humongousaur and shouted “HUMUNGOUSAUR!” and proceed to punch the still recovering Nightmare moon. Five or seven flurries of punches later my fist was frozen in the middle of the air. “Hmm, your clever begin able to shapeshift your body like that. but you’re forgetting who you are facing. I am the Alicorn of the Moon. and I’ll give you a magic lesson. The further away something is the heavier it is. And tell me how heavy is a moon?” She said as I was lifted up “Heavier than you.” She said, throwing me away towards Fluttershy’s place. “She’s waking up.” A voice said as I slowly opened my eyes it was Fluttershy and the other four ponies I met today as well as Spike. “Ow.” I simply said while slowly sitting up. “How long was I out.” “A few hours, we found you in a crater near Fluttershy’s cottage.” Spike said. “Guess I owe you all an explanation.” I said. “Heck yeah, you do. First, what's with that letter Spike had saying we’re destined to save Equestria?” Rainbow dash asked. “That's your first question. Not how did I turn into a literal Spider Monkey or dinosaur?” I asked, chuckling. “That was question number two darling.” Rarity said “Okay I’ll answer question one first then, Celestia seems to believe that the five of you are capable of saving the world from an eternal night with something called the Elements of Harmony. The second question is a little more complicated. I'll be as technical as I can be.” I said showing the Ultimatrix. “This is the Ultimatrix, a device that can access the DNA of every sapient species in the galaxy and transform its user into any species. There some more but that's the gist of it for now” “Okay, any other secrets you're hiding from us?” Rainbow Dash asked. “I have a crush on all five of you and I want you to do adult things to me that I can't say because Spike is in the room.” I blurted out, causing the five ponies faces to turn red and all looked at each other. “Okay, darling, too much info But I’m flattered.” Rarity said. The rest of the ponies looked at each other before Applejack asked. “So we have to head through the Everfree forest and find these elements and save the day?” “Yeah pretty much, I mean if Celestia believes in you five I think we can do this.” I said, “I mean as long as I don’t end up in another Coma we should be fine.” “What do you mean another?” Pinkie asked. “Oh right I only told Spike...maybe Rainbow Dash heard it but until two days ago I was in a two-year-long coma, The fact I'm up and about is due to this strange magic man in a white void.” I explained. “Anyway I don't want to deal with that right now, can we go?” “Sure...” The five each said as we got ready to head into the forest. > Ultimate form and the elements > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hours passed as we wandered through the forest, following a path which we hoped would lead us towards these Elements of Harmony. After 4 roadblocks including falling cliffs, A manticore, Tree demons, and a sea serpent in the middle of a forest. We found a broken bridge that led to a castle. “This is it.” I said. “Are you sure?” Rainbow dash asked. “Well considering this is the only castle we’ve found this has to be it.” I said as I looked down the pit. “Er... can one of the flyers go across and fix the bridge?” I asked. “I’ll do it.” Rainbow said. “Thank you darling.” Both me and Rarity both said. As Rainbow Dash flew down into the canyon, fog rolled in unnaturally fast. I shouted at Rainbow Dash to tell us if everything was alright but as moments passed I began to worry, this could be another trap from Nightmare Moon. “Rainbow!” I shouted before she came from the other side with the bridge fixed. “You really shouldn’t have worried about me, I wasn’t about to fall for Nightmare Moon's tricks.” Rainbow said, smiling and patting me on the back. “Right sorry.” I apologized before we all crossed the bridge into the Castle. “Let's hope we can find these elements soon.” I said I was knocked into a wall by Nightmare Moon's blast while the other five were unconscious by her onslaught. Things were not going so well. “Did you honestly think that you could succeed with only five bearers?” “But Celestia said-” I muttered. “She told you to gather five of the six elements. She must have been desperate.” Nightmare Moon mocked. I laid on the ground trying to think of an answer, I didn’t have Alien X so I couldn’t just rewrite reality. Then a thought came into my head ‘Celestia wanted Twilight to come to Ponyville at first. She must be the key’ I slowly rose up from the ground and took a big huff before saying “I might have found a way to beat you” “Oh, and what bluff are you going to do now? Turn into that dragon form and attempt to crush me or some other form perhaps?” she mocked. “No,” I said with a smile as I transformed into a unicorn. “See I kinda left out a key feature of the Ultimatrix when I was explaining it, it has an evolution feature.” I then activated the Ultimate function transforming my unicorn form into a being made almost made of magic. “What is this?” Nightmare Moon asked in fear. “What are you?” I looked at my hand, it was see-thru for the most part with only a basic bone structure being inside me. “I am the result of ten thousand years of war, disease, famine, and death put on a Unicorn.” I put my hand in front of my face and closed it. “I am an Ultimate Unicorn I am Ultimate Midnight Slayer!” I announced. “Impossible!” She blurted out before I teleported behind her and crushed her with a telekinetic grasp. “GRAH!” she steamed out in pain, “I am an Alicorn no mere Unicorn could defeat me!” I would have smiled if I could as I spoke “I’m no mere Unicorn.” I then turned to the five unconscious ponies. “Heal” I said as either flowed from me and into them. “Mmmm What happened?” Applejack asked before Fluttershy screamed in fear. “WHAT IS THAT!” Pinkie screamed in fear as well. “I think It's Alexis...” Rarity said, confused before asking “Though what kind of creature is she?” I teleported in front of them “I’ll explain this later, for now, be prepared.” I said before lifting them off the ground “Honesty, Loyalty, Kindness, Generosity, Laughter, Magic.” I began to chant. “NO, you can’t seriously attempt the Elements purifying spell without them, You’re insane!” Nightmare Moon shouted backing away. “Oh am I?” I asked “I have all six of the bearers, all I need is-” as I was speaking a bright light came into the room and surrounded the six of us. “-Bingo.” Everything then went dark as the last thing I remember was a rainbow shooting out of us towards Nightmare Moon. ‘Where am I?’ I asked confused as I was in another dark void. ‘I’m I in another coma?” I asked, scared. ‘No’ a voice spoke as six bright lights flashed before turning into one big light. ‘I am the tree of Harmony and you are not suppose to be here’ ‘I’m sorry?’ I asked confused. ‘You are an intruder, one who is not supposed to be here, and the actions you have made here today have ruined the destiny of the one who was.’ ‘Are you going to remove me to fix it?’ I asked, scared. ‘No, I am simply here to warn you, the destiny you have stolen will lead them on a darker path. This can no longer be undone. Many lives will be lost because of you.’ ‘How was I supposed to know and how can I make things right?’ ‘You altered this world and you will keep altering it, you cannot fix your mistake as you were merely a pawn in fate's plans’ The light said before it went Bright and the words  ‘Awaken’ flashed in my mind. I awoke to the sun shining into the room, ‘Did we do it?’ I asked myself as I saw a bright light entered the room. “You guys alright?” I asked slowly getting up. “You’ve done it Alexis you found a way to free me-” Celestia said as she turned from a bright light to herself. She paused when she had a good look at me “What are you wearing?” she asked as a tiara fell off from my head. I glanced at it and noticed that it was a tacky tiara with the Omnitrix symbol. “I don’t know, I think it's the element of Magic.” I theorized. “I know but why, no HOW do you have it?!” Celestia asked, confused. “I think you have a more important thing over there.” I said pointing towards the unconscious Alicorn. “Luna!” Celestia said before running towards the Alicorn. “Luna, please be okay, I’m sorry.” she said, holding her sister  “Sorry for ignoring you, sorry for causing you to become Nightmare Moon, sorry for banishing you to the moon. Please just be okay” She cried. Luna started to cough as she said “Oh cut the waterworks. You’re not the drama queen of the family.” “Luna.” Celestia said happily, crying. “Thanks for the apologies but can you take me to an apothecary or whatever, my wings are broken.” Luna said “Sorry about that” I apologized as Celestia looked at me even more confused as I said, “I’ll explain in town.” “Yeah, we probably should get out of the creepy forest quickly.” Rainbow said. “Give me a second.” Celestia said as in a flash of light we were in the throne room of Canterlot. “I’ll need to talk to all of you but first.” she snapped her fingers and a scroll appeared in her hand. “I’ll send you to my personal doctor Luna.” > Celestia's truth and Twilight's fall > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luna was taken to a private room in the castle while the six of us were brought in front of Celestia. “How did Luna get those bruises and how were you able to wield the Element of Magic?” Celestia asked. “I’m the one that hurt your sister, I used this.” I motioned to the Ultimatrix “To transform into a unicorn based on Twilight... I think that was her name?” I asked as Celestia seemed unconvinced right before I used the Ultimatrix to transform into a Pegasus. “Okay...” she paused, clearly not ready for that information. “But that still doesn’t explain that form we say you in Darling?” Rarity asked. “Oh, that's...something I kept from you guys.” I said turning into an Ultimate Pegasus. Celestia was shocked “A storm elemental?” she asked, confused. “More like an ultimate Pegasus.” I answered before explaining “See my watch has an Evolution feature which simulates ten thousand years of the worst conditions imaginable forcing the species to evolve to its ultimate form.” I said changing back to my human form. “Whoa that's sounds so cool!” Rainbow Dash said excitedly. “Alright.” Celestia said processing everything. “Now, unless you have some other secrets you’d like to share, I’ll need the Elements of harmony to store incase of a problem in the future that requires your help.” She said as I handed over my Tiara and watched as the other five handed their necklaces of to Celestia. “Wait why did I get a tiara?” I asked as the other five bearers realized that too. “The element of Magic is the focus of the Elements power, as for why it's a Tiara, I don’t know.” Once we had given her the elements Celesta informed us “I’ll now send the six of you back to Ponyville but be alert I will send a message for you through Spike, with some information about the future.” And with that Celestia teleported the six of us back to the Library. “Now, I need to know what my student did while I was gone.” Celestia said As the day went on... and a quick recorded message to let all of Equestria know what had happened. Celestia visited Luna in her room. “Hello, Luna.” Celestia said somberly “Sister.” Luna said coldly. “Do you still hate me after all this time?” “No, if I hated you I would have made it clear when I first awoke by teleporting away and attempt to raise an army. But I don't trust you. You’ll have to earn back my trust. Especially after all the pain, you gave me all those years ago.” Celestia looked away in shame. “But, I can tell that you have changed, or at least tried to better yourself. You’re clearly not the heartless jerk I thought you were all those years ago” Luna said. “It still hurts that you thought of me like that, I agree I wasn’t always the best and Mother knows I’ve been trying, but-” Celestia said “No buts, we’ll need to work out things, I am still the ruler of the night.” Luna said with a smile. “I should inform you of some things before I talk to Twilight-” Celestia said right as a guard came knocking on the door. “Speak of the demon, I apologize Luna  but this is something I have to deal with as soon as possible.” Celestia apologized. Luna sighed “Some things haven’t changed I see,” “Oh no, they have. This is just something I have to nip in the bud before it gets too bad.” Celestia explained. “Fine deal with it, It’s a late morning snack time anyway.” Celestia smiled “It's good to have you back.” “Its good to not be trapped on the moon” Luna retorted. In the throne room, Celestia sat on her throne as Twilight Sparkle entered the room, “Princess you're alright!” She said happily but realized Celestia was not happy. “Twilight I’m going to be quick and precise, I let you off from heading to Ponyville because I thought you had made some friends and wanted to give you a chance. But you left that party you used as an excuse in less than 20 minutes to head back to your library to look for an answer that I had tried to give you. I had tried again and again to get you to understand that you can’t do anything alone, even with Spike you do everything on your own. Even Starswirl had allies he could count on.” Celestia explained as Twilight had a mixture of shame and confusion on her face. “What I'm trying to say is, had you gone to Ponyville you could have been hailed as a hero for saving the world from Nightmare moon with the Elements of harmony, instead you passed the job on to Somepony else, and now here are the consequences.” Celestia finished as Twilight was unsure of what would happen next. “Twilight Sparkle you are expelled from my school for disobeying both a teacher and the headmistress, lying to get out of a task, and for abandoning the punishment.” “But...But...But-” was all Twilight could say. “I’m sorry Twilight-” Celestia tried to say but was interrupted by Twilight. “No you're not, you set me up to fail just on some pretense notion that I need friends.” She said angrily before storming out.  Celestia sighed before saying “Raven, get me a scroll and quills I need to tell Spike something.” She had a feeling Twilight would try something and she needed to be ready for it. I sat at the dinner table with Spike eating a take out sandwich, luckily it was the law that all restaurants in this country have carnivore options, I would have gotten sick of all the vegan options, girls gotta have some meat every now and then. “You okay Spike?” I asked as Spike looked like he was about to vomit. “Yeah it's just Twilight never lets me eat off the carnivore menu.” he said as he burped out a scroll “Hey a message from Celestia.” “Well Let me read it.” “Dear Spike and Alexis. I have to, unfortunately, inform you that Twilight Sparkle has been expelled from my school and is to be treated with caution as the last conversation we had was far from a pleasant one. Spike I would like you to stay with Alexis and aid her in whatever she needs but you are free to pursue your own goals if you wish, though if you do decide on heading away from Alexis do tell me beforehand so I can give her a method of communication. Alexis I want you to be on guard, Twilight will have a grudge against you but other than that I want you to be ready, for I may need your help again in the future. I have made preparations for you to keep the library as a home for long as you want. And I’ll send you bits as a weekly payment. Celestia “What!” Spike said, shocked, “Twilight got expelled, why?” Spike asked. “You’ll have to ask her yourself but it's good I have a roof over my head and a steady income.” I said before asking Spike “So what are you going to do?” “I don’t know I’ve always been by Twilight’s side.” “Give it a week to think then tell me. I’ll be happy to keep you, my dude.”
