> The Dark One Has Risen > by Rob_Rhapsody > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter one > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Well isn’t this just great, I’m stuck in a forest, looking like a dark super hero, what else can...... Wait, wait, wait, bad idea, bad idea, I should not try to jinx myself” I said I looked at my attire just to double check. ‘Black floor length coat, black pants, black polo shirt, black shoes with metal soles, Yup, this is definitely happening, I’m a Displaced dark superhero’ I thought to myself. I got my bearings and walked over to a nearby rock ‘might as well see what I got in this suit’ I checked my pockets and found my phone. at first I was overjoyed, but then I checked my service, ‘no bars, Shit’ I looked into my coat and found a pair of sunglasses and put them on ‘not bad’ I thought to myself. Then I found my weapons, two katanas sheathed and hooked to my belt, then I I looked further and found my 9mm pistols. ‘Sweet’ I thought appreciating the guns. I checked under the coat behind me and pulled out a grenade. “Woah, awesome!” I placed it down on the ground in front of me and reached back to see if there were more, I brought out another one and placed it down, and I continued doing that for the next hour or so. It wasn't until after the 257th grenade I pulled out that I realized that I apparently had an infinite supply. After I took another hour putting all those away I checked for throwing knives and surprise, infinite amount, I put those away and then checked for magazines for my guns, same infinite amount. “Where am I keeping these?!? Oh right I never specified how many ammo my character had” I said. I got up and decided to find a way out of the woods. “Might as well see if there’s a town near by” I said to myself. I walked until I found a path, I followed it to a clearing and found a road leading to a town. A town that could not be mistaken for any other, Ponyville. I remembered it from the show. I was sure because I watched every episode all the way to the series finale, and every movie too. “You have got to be kidding me! Ponyville, really! Wait that can mean only one thing, I’m in Equestria! ah hell yeah!” I said in astonishment. ‘Wait if I’m in Equestria, does that mean that letter sent me here....’ (Gasp) “Oh my gosh, if that letter brought me here, and the fact that I look exactly like my super hero character, that means I’m a Displaced, which means I have powers too!” I said with joy. I think back to what that letter said. If you crave for power, then you shall have it -merchant I got out my phone and played the Superman theme I had downloaded, then put it back into my pocket. I started testing my theory by crouching down, closing my eyes and preparing to jump or fly, hopefully fly. I jumped, but I didn’t stop going up. I opened my eyes to see the ground very far down below. With a smile on my face I put my arms out like Superman and went off like a rocket. I looked behind me to see that I was leaving a trail of black smoke, but having remembering that was similar to rainbow dash’s sky trail. “Woo hoo” I cried. I did a few barrel rolls and loop de loops and started flying over Ponyville. I could see down below that there were definitely ponies here. “Oh man this is so cool!!!” I said to myself as I took a sharp turn to the right by stopping for a second and shooting off in another direction. ‘Oh I gotta find Oakey oaks library, that’s where twilight lives!’ It wasn’t long before I found it, but I didn’t land I just flew straight over. ‘Oops, oh well’ then I circled around and went straight up into the sky as soon as I could see the curvature of the planet I stopped and gazed at the beautiful view. I took out my phone and did a selfie with a peace sign. I put my phone away as I started going back down with my arms at my sides, seemed a little cooler that way. I was starting to see past the clouds and see the ground below. I could see Canterlot resting on its mountain and decided to head for it. ‘Why not, I could Land in the garden and introduce myself to the princesses! Oh I can do a superhero landing!’ So that’s what I was going to do. As it so happened I could see princess Celestia walking in the garden. I started slowing down in my descent enough so I wouldn’t make a crater and got my body into the superhero landing position. I landed with a small shockwave. I stood up and dusted myself off. “Nailed it” I said with a fist pump. I turned around and saw her, Princess Celestia, she had what she normally had on in the show, I was trying hard not to geek out. Then she spoke to me. “Who are you, and what are you doing here?” She asked. I took a moment to calm myself a little. “Um, hi” I said with a wave, she just looked at me waiting for an answer. “Oh, sorry if I startled you, I am Mamoru, Mamoru Shinigami” I told her. “I saw you while I was flying and wanted to say hello”. She just kept staring at me, so I decided to get her attention. “Hey, hello are you checking me out?” I said jokingly to get her to look me in the face. After I said that she blushed a bright crimson red. “W-What, no I’m not” she said. ‘D’aaaw she’s cute when she’s flustered’ I thought to myself. “Well at least I got you to stop staring, creeps me out, now I know how my mom felt when I just stood and stared” I said with a smile. Then I saw her return the smile. “Anyway I assume you would like to talk a little more, so why don’t you invite me inside for some tea, sound good?” I said with a gesture to the castle. “W-what, O-Oh, of course, come with me” she said as she started moving. ‘That went better than I expected’ I thought to myself as I began to follow her. We made our way through the halls and I thought it would seem strange if I didn’t ask her name. “So, what’s your name?” I asked and she looked at me. “I am Princess Celestia, ruler of equestria” she said in her motherly tone. “I see your getting a little more comfortable with me, that’s good” I said with a chuckle. She was about to open a door, but I beat her to it with my super speed and opened it for her. “Ladies first, after you” I said with a small bow. “Um, thank you” she said with uncertainty as she walked through. I closed the door behind myself and was greeted to a large dining room. “Wow” I said in awe. She chuckled at my amazement. I watched her walk to the dining room table and take a seat in one of the many chairs. I used my super speed to take the seat across from her. She looked at me with a surprised look on her face. “H-How did you... never mind” she said looking from the door to me as I pretended to look dumb. “So when’s tea time” I asked trying to change the subject. “Oh the staff should be arriving shortly” she said right before the doors opposite the other opened up to reveal one of the maids wheeling in the tea. The maid placed the tray on the table, took a glance at me then went back the way she came. Celestia used her magic to pour each of us a cup. “Cream and sugar” she asked. “Yes please” I said. “One lump or two” she asked while readying her cup. “Just one is fine thank you” I said. She floated my cup over to me with her magic and I held my hand out to take it. I placed the cup and saucer down in front of me and took the cup, pinkies out of course, and took a sip. “Mmm, this is good, what kind is it” I asked. Celestia took a sip of her own. “I believe it is camomile do you like it” she answered with a smile. “I do, I had a feeling it was camomile” I said making her chuckle. I put my cup down. “So what would you like to know” I asked. > Chapter two > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestial stares at me, possibly thinking about what she wants to know first. “Why are you wearing sunglasses?” She asks. I reach up to check my sunglasses and notice I’m still wearing them. “Oops, I forgot I was wearing them” I said as I took them off. Then she looked at me with surprise and maybe a bit of fear. “I’m sorry if my eyes bother you, I’ll just put them back on” I said but before I put the sunglasses back on, she stopped me. “Wait, no I’m sorry, I was just a little surprised” she said. I looked at her and decided to put the sunglasses back into my coat. Without warning she was in my face with her horn glowing. “What’cha doin’” I asked with confusion. “I apologize, I just had to see what kind of magic you have” she told me. ‘I have magic? Weird’ “Okaaaay.... so what kind do I have” I asked. She hesitated before answering. “You seem to have a very powerful form of dark magic, which troubles me” she replied. “Dark magic? Wait is that how I’m able to fly?” I asked. She looked unsure at first but then answered “Perhaps, but I’m not sure”. “Ok, so if I have dark magic, could you teach me to properly use it?” I asked. “I suppose but it might be difficult” she replied with her normal serious face. “difficult for me or difficult for you?” I asked to which she chuckles, breaking her serious face. “ possibly both would be correct, but I believe that my sister would be better suited, I miss her so much” she said as a tear ran down her cheek. ‘Wait if Luna isn’t here that must mean I’m as far back as episode 1, I must make sure’ I looked at her with seriousness. “I have a question, would you by any chance have a student by the name of twilight sparkle” I asked. She looked at me with both surprise and confusion. “Y-Yes, how did you know” she responded. “Did you just send her to Ponyville to monitor the summer sun celebration and try to make friends? I asked a little louder than seemed needed. “W-Wha... how did you know that” she asked with a little fear. I took my right hand and started stroking my chin ‘should I tell her? Dang a I need a shave, Dammit man focus! If I tell her I could probably risk the future, but then again... yup I’m gonna tell her’ I stopped stroking my chin and got my cup of tea and took a long sip. “Ok, I have to tell you the truth, I’m not from here” I said with a grim expression. “Very well, where are you from?” She asked with uncertainty. I took a long deep breath. “I’m from another world, a few years in the future and I already know what’s going to happen because in my world all this is a series of episodes in a children’s show for six year old girls, and I got here by opening a strange letter, and now that I know how far back I am, I can tell you with certainty that Nightmare Moon is returning tonight, but everything will turn out fine after twilight realizes she has friends and activates the the elements of harmony and changes Nightmare moon back into Princess Luna” I said while standing up and making multiple gestures. After I finished I took a couple deep breaths, all the while she stares at me with her classic surprised expression. I took another big deep breath. “Now, I’m sorry if I was a little blunt, but that is just how I am, I used to be something called a human being, or if you would rather the scientific term, homo sapiens, but now that I’m here I’m not so sure anymore, since humans don’t have magic or my kind of eyes, now I need to wait till nightmare night for you to introduce me to your sister, cuz I know she’s going to have the royal Canterlot voice and speak in the “royal we” and have all the thee’s and thou’s, and I’m gonna have to wait forever until then, but right now you probably have a lot of questions” I said while pacing and making a spectacle of myself. Still she had the same surprised expression only a little more confused. She just continues to stare. I dropped my arms to my sides and went back to my seat and sat down, took a second to check my pulse while taking a few deep breaths, then picked up my cup, again pinkies out, and took a long sip. “Well any questions?” I asked. Still she kept staring with surprise. “Oh shit, I think I broke her” I exclaimed. “W-What!?! No, I-I’m fine, is all that true?” She asked with a little worry in her voice. “I’m afraid so princess, are you alright” I told her. “So my sister truly is coming back?” She asked in her worried expression. “Yes, now, I need a place to stay while I’m here, cuz I don’t want anypony to know I’m here, I don’t want to cause a panic” I said. “O-Of course, yes, thank you for telling me all this, you will be staying in the guest room next to mine” she said calmer now with a smile. “Next to your room, huh, still don’t trust me and you want to keep a close eye on me, I get it, heh, well I’m just glad to be somewhere nice” I said ending with a chuckle. She gave me a knowing smile which I returned and we finished up our tea. After that we got up and Celestia led me through the door to the hall, from there we walked for a while until we reached the throne room, which also looked exactly like it did in the show. "So.." she started "if you are from the future does that mean you don't need me to guide you to your room" she asked. "Actually I don't know the layout of your castle so I'm going to need you to show me the way" I replied. "I see" she said. Then we went through a hall to the left of the throne. We walked through the hall for a while before she stopped and turned to me. She gestured to a door to my left. "This will be your room, I'll let you get settled for now, I'll send a guard to notify you about dinner, and escort you to the dining room" she said opening the door with her magic. "Thank you, princess, I'll see you later" I said walking through the door. We waved goodbye as she closed the door behind her. "I am going to enjoy this" I said with a Cheshire grin that went up straight to my ears, looking super creepy. > Chapter three > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you can believe it Celestia never made it to dinner, instead she went to meet up with her sister, leaving me all alone and bored, well I wasn't really alone she left a guard by my door, but he didn't really have much to say, mostly because all he did was stand there. "Uuuuugh, soooo booored!!!!" I said with my head upside down off the side of my bed with my eyes closed,Then I heard the the doorknob turn and the door opening. I opened my eyes to see the door open, and in came Celestia. I turned myself around and got up. "Lil' sis is back I'm guessing" I said. "Yes, she is and shes resting now" she said with a smile. "I'm happy for you" I said returning the smile. "Thank you" she replied. "Hey princess, I was wondering, would it be at all possible to enchant a pin to change me into a young colt? As in a child?" I asked with uncertainty. "I suppose, why do you ask?" She said. "I tried reading a book, but I couldn't read it, meaning I need to be taught how, and the best way for that is being a colt, so I can blend in with the rest of the students" I said. "I suppose that makes sense, very well I shall do it, but it will take time and you will have to come up with a name, and you will have to take a test in order to get enrolled in my school" she replied. "I will come up with a name, and as long as the test doesn't involve reading or writing I should be fine, then when you feel I'm ready, you can have luna teach me her magic" I said crossing my arms. She gave me a nod and left me to myself. "Now, what do I do" I asked myself. I decided to take a nap. It took me a while to sleep, I have insomnia, but eventually I got to sleep. I slept for who knows how long, but I was awoken to Somepony coming into my room. "Who's there" I asked readying a gun under the covers. "It's just me, Mamoru" said Celestia. I put my gun back into my holster on my thigh. "Is it time to eat?" I asked. "Yes it is, but before we go would you like to try this on?" She said. I got out of bed and looked at what she had, it was a simple gold chain necklace. I got up and walked over. She gave me the necklace and I put it on. "Nice bling, thanks" I said with a said with a smile. "Try tapping it twice" she said demonstrating by tapping her regalia twice. I did as she said and tapped it twice. There was a flash and suddenly I was a Clydesdale unicorn colt I looked myself over I still had my clothes on only they were smaller and still fit correctly in my new form. I ran over to the full body mirror. I had short spiky mane with a tail to match, normal green eyes, and my fur was black. [image of colt form goes here] "OH. MY. GOSH. I'M ADORABLE" I cried. Celestia chuckled at my reaction. "So do have a name picked out" she asked bringing her head down to my level. I brought my hoof to my chin. 'Ok time to think of a name, Mamoru, a name for this form.....' I new the exact name for myself. "Shadow star, my name will be shadow star" I said. Celestia smiled. "Well it's nice to meet you, shadow star" she said in her normal motherly tone as she gave me a nuzzle, despite my protests. Just then my stomach growled making me blush, luckily it wasn't easy to see since my coat was so dark. "Ok. Lets go eat, but first, how do I change back?" I asked. She tapped her chest twice, to which I tapped my necklace twice and changed back in a flash. I was back human form, I tapped the necklace twice and I was a unicorn colt once again. "Ok now that I have that figured out, lets go eat" I said looking up at Celestia. We headed for the dining room with me in my pony form. "You know I'm going to need a birth certificate to keep my cover right?" I asked. "I'll have that made after dinner" she replied. "I'm also going to need a parent or guardian too" I said. "I suppose I could pose as your aunt for a guardian" she said. "Okee dokie auntie Celestia" I said in the cutest voice I could make, which made Celestia chuckle. "Will I be able to meet auntie luna at dinner" I asked. " yes you will nephew" said Celestia with her signature smile. It wasn't long before we made it to the dining room, luna was already there waiting for Celestia. "Hello Luna, I apologize for taking so long, I had to wake this one up from his nap" Celestia said gesturing towards me. "Hello" I said with a smile and a wave. "Sister who is this young colt?" asked luna. before Celestia could answer I used my super speed to zip to the seat right next to Luna before either could blink. "Hi my name is Shadow Star" I said making her jump. " how did thee" started luna. "How'd I what" I interrupted. "Thee were over there, how'd thou get here so fast?" asked luna, which made Celestia nervous. "Im a ninja" I said putting my little front hooves in the air. "Shadow Star is going to be staying with us for a while" said Celestia as she got to her seat and sat down. "Why are thou dressed in this manner?" asked Luna. "He likes to wear those clothes" Celestia answered for me. I just smiled and looked at Luna. "Do you like swords" I asked luna. "Y-yes I do" said luna. "Do you like mine" I asked drawing my swords. Both of them were startled to see I had swords. "Shadow Star put those away, there will be no swords at the table" said Celestia in her motherly tone. "Yes auntie Celestia" I said with a frown. "A-Auntie!?!" Sputtered Luna has in surprise. "Ah, yes, Luna meet your new nephew and soon to be student" said Celestia gesturing towards me. I just smiled and waved at luna. "When did this happen" asked Luna. "Seven years ago, when I was born" I answered. Luna just stared at me. "Wait, my student?" Luna asked Celestia. "Yes, he has very powerful dark magic in him and needs guidance on how to use it, he can't read yet or understand spells so he will be learning in my school as soon as he passes the enrollment test, and when I believe he's ready, he's all yours" explained Celestia. Luna looked at me and I just smiled and waved. "WHAT?" Shouted Luna in surprise. > Chapter four > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Its been a couple weeks since meeting Luna, now I've already passed the entry test into Celestia's school and now I know how to read and write, and I've learned a few useful spells. But now tonight is the grand galloping gala, I'm super excited. ---At the gala--- "I can't believe I forgot how boring it was in my memory, now I have to relive every second" I said to myself. I was in my pony form sitting in the ballroom in the corner next to the classical music group. Normally I enjoy classical music, but this is boring, At least Beethoven had the decency to make his fifth symphony and ode to joy a little upbeat, this however would make every composer of that era turn in their graves. -Crash- "Oh, look at that the disaster is starting, finally!" I said to myself with joy. I watched from the sidelines and decided now was a good time to find Celestia. Since I could remember how it all happened I was able to navigate through the chaos with ease.... Ok you got me I used my super speed. I made my way to Celestia and told her what was happening. "I knew they'd be able to make things interesting" said Celestia. "As did I, they will be at pony joe's, shall we?" I told her. "Of course" she said with a smile. It didn't take us long to get there. I waited for them to finish talking before announcing myself. "Ahem" I said. "Oh hello, what's your name?" Asked twilight. "This is my nephew, Prince Shadow Star, he's been staying with me for a couple weeks" explained Celestia. "Well its nice to meet you darling" said Rarity. "Nice to meet you too, I've heard a lot about you all" I said. "Now I believe its time for us all to get back to the gala, I have a song to sing" I said with excitement. Celestia gave me a look. "But I guess I could sing it here" I said, my excitement deflating. Twilight looked at her friends and then at me. "We would love to hear your song" said twilight with a smile. "Ok, here it goes, anypony have a guitar my size" I asked. Celestia put a small guitar my size in front of me. "Thank you auntie" I said accepting the guitar. I jumped up onto the table cleared my throat, closed my eyes and began singing, shut up and dance by walk the moon. Oh don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me This woman is my destiny She said oh oh oh Shut up and dance with me We were victims of the night The chemical, physical, kryptonite Helpless to the bass and the fading light Oh we were bound to get together Bound to get together She took my arm I don't know how it happened We took the floor and she said Oh don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me This woman is my destiny She said oh oh oh Shut up and dance with me A backless dress and some beat up sneaks My discotheque Juliet teenage dream I felt it in my chest as she looked at me I knew we were bound to be together Bound to be together She took my arm I don't know how it happened We took the floor and she said Oh don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me This woman is my destiny She said oh oh oh Shut up and dance with me Oh, c'mon girl Deep in her eyes I think I see the future I realize this is my last chance She took my arm I don't know how it happened We took the floor and she said Oh don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me This woman is my destiny She said oh oh oh Shut up and dance Don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me This woman is my destiny She said oh oh oh Shut up and dance with me Oh oh oh shut up and dance with me Oh oh oh shut up and dance with me I ended my song and opened my eyes. They were all staring at me. "Wow that was amazing, here have a donut" said pinkie pie as she shoved a pink donut with rainbow sprinkles into my mouth. "Pinkie!" Said everypony. I just chuckled and ate my donut. I yawned and Celestia noticed. "Well its been fun but I believe it's this little one's bedtime" she said picking me up with her magic and placing me on her back. I just got comfortable and closed my eyes and fell asleep. --- mane 6 POV--- "Aaaw" said everypony. "Well look at that he's plum tuckered out" said Applejack with a chuckle. "Princess Celestia, why haven't we heard of your nephew until now?" Asked twilight. "He didn't want to draw any attention to the fact that he's staying with me and my sister" Celestia said with a smile. "He's very cute" said Fluttershy. "Agreed, he is quite adorable" said Rarity, making spike a little jealous. "Give it a few moments" said Celestia. "What do you mean" asked Rainbow Dash. Just then Shadow Star sat up. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH, AUNTIE LUNA GET OUT!!!" Screamed Shadow Star, then he flopped back down, still fast asleep. "Ok, what was that?" asked Rainbow Dash. "He tends to talk in his sleep, and my sister keeps trying to see what he dreams about, but he doesn't like it so he just does what you witnessed just now" said Celestia. They all looked at each other. "Now I must go before he screams again, he can get louder after each outburst, good night everypony" said Celestia. "Good night princess" they all said. Well not the exact same thing, but you get the idea. ---Later, Princess Celestia POV--- Celestia opened the door to Shadow Star's room and placed him in his bed, gave him a small nuzzle, and walked out of the room. "Its a shame that he's not really my nephew, but he seems so real, as if he truly is my blood related nephew, and he seems to care about me, just as I care for him" said Celestia to herself. "I wish him being my nephew were true, we would all enjoy having fun together, oh well, at least he plays his part well" said Celestia. little did she know Shadow Star was back in his human form 'Mamoru' listening to the whole thing from behind the door. > Chapter five > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---Mamoru's room, right after Celestia put him to bed--- "Ok folks I may be breaking the fourth wall here, but if I'm following my timeline correctly it seems in a few days, discord escapes, so I'm going to do something really stupid, I'm gonna make a deal with him" ---one hour later--- Mamoru's POV--- location: six feet from Discord--- I began casting a telepathy spell on the statue of discord. 'Alright that should do it, YO, DISCORD CAN YOU HEAR ME' I thought. -feedback noise- 'Aaah, Owie, yes I can hear you, what do you want!?! And did you have to think that so loud?' He responded. "Ha ha ha" I laughed. 'To answer your second question, Yes, I did it to annoy you, and to see if there would be a feedback sound effect, and the answer to your first is, I wanna make a deal' I told him. 'What kind of deal?' asked Discord. 'Well, not to long from now there will be a field trip from Ponyville' I told him. 'Yeah, so what?' He said. 'Well three little fillies will have a little argument about you, causing a chain reaction that will release you' I said. 'Oh if thats true, I'm going to have a lot of fun very soon, but what does this have to do with you' said Discord. I just smiled evilly. 'If you can impale me with some of your magic, that will give me a little piece of your magic, just enough for my body to absorb and produce on its own, thats all I want, in return I won't tell Celestia's favorite pupil the answer to your riddle, I will give you a signal for when I want you to impale me' I said. 'Intriguing, what kind of signal may I ask' replied Discord. 'I'll say impale me, simple as that, it won't kill me because I can regenerate, oh, and aim for the chest, I wanna see the look on the ponies' faces' I said with a cheshire grin. 'Wow, you are scary... but what happens after that' asked Discord. 'The deal will be done and we go our separate ways, how's that sound' I asked. 'Hmm... alright it's a deal, I would shake your hand, but I can't at the moment since I'm made of stone' said Discord. 'Good one, now all we both have to do now is wait, see you later Discord' I said as I broke the spell's connection, waved goodbye and walked away into the night. ---the day Discord escapes--- after his riddle--- ---Twilight POV--- "Twists and turns, twists and turns, twists and turns, that's it, I bet Discord hid the elements in the palace labyrinth" said Twilight taking a look out of the window. "Good luck my little ponies, Equestria is in your hooves, but before you go take him with you" said Celestia gesturing to a hallway to her right. CLANG, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG. Me and my friends look over to the hallway hearing odd clanging hoofsteps. 'What could that be, it doesn't sound like one of the pony guards' thought Twilight. Just then a dark figure walked into view, all the while its hoofsteps making the sound, CLANG, CLANG, CLANG. We all looked at it with a bit of fear and astonishment. It was tall, it had short, spiky black hair on its head, and dark sunglasses. It had a long flowing coat, black shirt and pants. It also had knee high black boots with metal soles on the bottom, from which the clanging must be originating from. We all watched as this thing approached us. Once it was a few feet away, it stopped and looked at all of us. "This is them" it asked gesturing at us. "Yes, they are the ones" said Celestia. "I'd assumed they'd be taller" it said. "My little ponies I'd like to introduce you to" said Celestia. "Mamoru Shinigami, most call me The Dark One, nice to meet you all, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash" it said interrupting Princess Celestia. We all just stared at him. "Um... nice to meet you mister Shinigami" I said. "Please, just call me Mamoru" said Mamoru. "Mamoru has been waiting to meet you all in person for quite a while" said Princess Celestia. "Um if it aint much trouble, may ah ask what exactly is he" asked Applejack. ---Mamoru POV--- "I'm glad you asked" I said in my best gameshow host voice while flying around. "For those of you who enjoy reading, my species origins comes from another world which by the way is completely devoid of magic, my world's name is Earth, and scientists are still speculating how old it really is, but what we do know is, this" I said. (view video link below) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wqcgX2HM16k "But if you want more info than that, i can tell you this way" I said. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MpOb4Pdeqqk "Anyway to sum all that up, humans or homo sapiens, are a form of primate that stand upright and have the mental capacity to learn, create, destroy, and express themselves. And we have been around for about 2 million years, and have become the dominant race on Earth" I said with a triumphant look on my face. "Although recently humans have been destroying the world, by pollution and global warming, and a few others I can't think of right now" I said deflated. They just stood there and stared "what are we still standing around for we got work to do" I said running out of the room. "You girls coming or not!?!" I yelled looking back. "Right!" They said in unison. 'This is going to be awesome!' I thought to myself. ---A few hours later in the labyrinth--- "I forgot how boring this was" I said aloud. I then looked up to see Rainbow Dash flying away. "Well, seems like game over and showtime" I said to myself, with a grin. The walls of the maze came down and out popped Discord. "Game's over my Little ponies, you didn't find your precious elements, looks like we're in for a grat big storm of chaos" Said Discord, laughing maniacally. "Not if I can help it" I said. "Oh, I don't believe that you can" said Discord. "Oh, yeah and what are you going to do, impale me?" I asked as he did just that. I looked down at my chest and there was an invisible thing lodged in my chest and going out the back, I could feel the chaos magic flowing into me, making our deal final. "Cough, cough, Well played" I said falling backwards coughing up blood and bleeding out. While Discord left in a puff. ---Twilight POV--- "Mamoru!" I said running up to Mamoru's fallen form. I got to him and held him in my hooves. "Come on Mamoru, stay with me!" I told him. He looked at me then took his sunglasses off and for the first time I saw his eyes, they were black pools with green rings in the center. At first I was scared and started to move away. He grabbed me. "Don't......... go....... stay....... with me....... please" he said with pain in his eyes. "Ok, I will, I will" I said to him. Then he let go of me and I saw his eyes go completely black, he was dead. "No, no, no, come on Mamoru! Don't go!" I said crying. He just sat there, dead. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo!" > Chapter six > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---Mamoru POV--- Just before I passed out I heard Twilight yelling "Nooooooo" in despair, so I turned into a shadow form and hid within Twilight's shadow so I could heal myself better. "Where did he go?" Asked Twilight. But I passed out before I could hear an answer. ---later in Ponyville--- I look around and see Twilight walking to her treehouse sulking. 'Woah she's gray, that means she lost the first round and her friends left' I thought to myself as she opened the door. I silently checked myself to see if I was fully healed. 'Ok, I'm all good' I said internally. She walked up the stairs and into her room. And now spike is belching up a bunch of scrolls. 'Im just gonna wait until Twilight gathers up her friends before showing myself' I thought. ---later--- 'Ok, well that was fast' I thought, watching as Twilight and her friends got the elements and were heading back to Discord for round two. I began by leaving Twilight's shadow and, staying in my shadow form, going ahead of them. I finally made it to the right spot and began searching my phone for the right song. 'Oh, this one is perfect' I thought to myself while selecting 'my enemy by hans zimmer'. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygdi4g6ZkSU I began my appearance in between Twilight and her friends and Discord with a dark swirling vortex of storm clouds and began to shift my form from shadow to human form. Making a huge spectacle the whole time. Once I had fully formed I stretched my arms and legs a bit to loosen up. Not stretching like plastic man, just stretched like a normal person. "Ah, it feels so good to be back, oh hello all" I said as I finished stretching. Twilight looked at me with tears in her eyes, Discord however seemed indifferent. "Yes, yes, so you're still alive, whoop-di-doo" said Discord. "Well now that we all know that I'm alive, why don't we get on with this, Twilight I believe now is the time to use the elements, we can be all touchy-feely later" I said moving out of the way. Im pretty sure everyone knows what is about to happen so I'm going to fast-forward to later. ---Later--- "Mamoru you're ok!" Exclaimed Twilight. I looked over to her and smiled. "It'll take a lot more than an invisible stake to the heart to take me out" I said while striking a heroic pose (standing straight with fists on hips). "Now since this is all over I have to get back to Canterlot, later girls" I said as I took off into the sky, stopping a moment to wave goodbye and shooting off leaving a trail of shadowy darkness behind. ---Twilight POV--- I watched as Mamoru took off toward Canterlot. "Hey, wait a minute I've seen that sky trail before, I saw it flying around Ponyville, a long time ago" said Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow dash, darling, that couldn't have been Mamoru flying over Ponyville that day..... could it?" Rarity said unsure of herself. "Oh it was definitely me" said Mamoru. Wait, Mamoru? We all looked from where the voice came from and sure enough it was Mamoru leaning against a nearby house. "What? I thought you left" I said with confusion. "Technically yes, but right now I'm also standing here" said Mamoru. 'This makes no sense he can't be in two places at once.... can he' I thought to myself. "I am in Canterlot right now, but I can project myself in shadows, so what you're seeing right now is a shadow, pretty cool right" said Mamoru. "That's kind of scary" said Fluttershy. "I think it's awesome!" Said Rainbow Dash putting a hoof through Mamoru's chest and back out. "Oooooo, let me try that" said Pinkie putting her hoof through Mamoru's leg. "Ok, that's enough, I can still feel that and it tickles" said Mamoru stifling a laugh. "Anyway, I'll be back for real later, until then keep up the good work" said Mamoru as he dissipated into the shadows. "That guy might be the weirdest thing in Equestria, next to Discord o'course" said Applejack. Then we all walked off to get ready for The next day. ---Canterlot--- ---Mamoru POV--- "Honey, I'M HOOOME!" I yelled to Celestia, and hearing the echo. "Welcome back Mamoru I assume this means Discord has been dealt with" said Celestia. "Yup, he's a statue again" I said. "Something seems different about you, you're magic seems off" said Celestia looking at me. "Oh.... yeah.... that, that wold be my magic converting the chaos magic I absorbed from Discord" I said matter of factly. "WHAT!?!" Yelled Celestia. "My magic is changing from DARK magic, to DARK-CHAOS magic" I said to Celestia. "That can't be possible" said Celestia. "Well it's happening, and since my magic was already pretty powerful, now my power should have less limits" I said with a grin. Celestia was not pleased. "Now I can change shape into a pony without this necklace" I said taking off the gold necklace. I changed into my pony form only instead of me being a colt I was fully grown. I was still wearing the same clothes only this time I had steel horseshoes on all my hooves. I looked myself over "Sweet, although.... I'm an adult now" I said. "Hmm.... I suppose we could tell everypony who asks that I was working on an anti-aging potion that backfired" I said rubbing my chin with a hoof. "Oh, Mam. Er. Shadow Star what am I to do with you" said Celestia with a half smile. "I have an idea, you could send a letter to Twilight saying that I will be staying with her at her treehouse for a while" I said looking at Celestia. "However spike might not enjoy getting another letter, last time i saw him he looked like he was going to literally puke his guts out" I said with a chuckle making Celestia blush. "I may have overdid it with all those scrolls" said Celestia with a giggle. "I'll get to writing the letter immediately" said Celestia as she walked off with me following close behind. > Chapter seven > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---Ponyville--- ---Mane 6 POV--- All members of the mane 6 were gathered in front of the Oakey Oaks Library. All were waiting for a special guest. "Where could he be? This is taking forever" said Rainbow. "His carriage should be arriving soon" said Rarity. No sooner had she said that, when a royal carriage pulled up being hauled by two royal Canterlot guard ponies. One unhooked himself and went to open the passenger door. Everypony was expecting to see a small unicorn colt come hopping out, but instead a tall black unicorn stallion stepped out. He had a black coat and a short and spiky mane. He had a long sharp horn and green eyes. He wore a pair of dark sunglasses on his forehead. He wore black t-shirt and pants and a coat that reached all the way down to the ground behind his back legs, all four hooves had shiny, thick, metal horseshoes. He looked at Twilight and the rest of her friends. "Hey Twilight, long time no see" said the unknown stallion. They all looked at each other then back at the stallion. "Do we know you" asked Twilight. "Of course you do, it's me Shadow Star, I don't look that different do I?" asked the unicorn who claimed to be Shadow Star with a smile. They all looked at each other with confusion. ---Mamoru/Shadow Star POV--- "Ok, so I'm older than when you last saw me, but it is still me" I said. "You can't be Shadow Star, Shadow Star was a small cute little colt when we last met him" said Rarity. "Aw, how nice of you to say so Rarity, but that was me, the reason I look like this is because I was working on a anti-aging potion and it backfired, by A LOT, now I'm all grown up, my best guess about my current age would be early twenties, but I can see that by the looks on your faces that none of you are convinced" I said to them. They remained silent. "Ugh, I can't believe I have to do this" I said annoyed, making them give me confused looks. "Oh don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me I said you're holding back She said shut up and dance with me This woman is my destiny She said oh oh oh Shut up and dance with me!" I sang with my hooves up at the end. "Shadow star it is you" said Twilight running up to me for a hug with the rest of them following suit. "Wow you got big" said Pinkie pie joining the hug. "In more ways than one" whispered Pinkie. My eyes grew to the size of dinner plates. "Ok, that's enough hugging for right now" I said with a nervous laugh rubbing the back of my neck. "Goodness Gracious darling!" Exclaimed Rarity. "What, what's wrong, is there something on my face?" I asked looking down my muzzle. "It's those sunglasses, they don't match your outfit!, their just like Mamoru's I can't stand it" Said Rarity pointing at my sunglasses. I deadpanned 'yup they are completely oblivious to the giant billboard lit up in blindingly bright neon lights' I thought to myself. "Ok then what would you rather I wear" I asked and almost immediately regretted it. 'Dammit!....Why did I ask that!' I screamed inside my head. Rarity then grabbed me by the hoof and practically dragged me to the Carousel boutique. I left marks on the ground as I tried to get away. But to no avail. ---------- We tried on multiple types of eyewear. Imagine a whole marathon of different types of glasses, visors and goggles. "Ah, ha, finally said Rarity with exhaustion. I looked in the mirror and what I had on my forehead was a pair of welding goggles with spikes on them. I looked to each mirror. "Yeah this is way better, are they real working welding goggles?" I asked admiring my new goggles. "Yes they are, a little garish for my taste, but they seem to look great with your outfit" said Rarity with pride. "I love them, how much do I owe you?" I asked. "Think nothing of it, I'm just glad to be rid of them, and they look perfect on you, their yours" said Rarity with a smile. "Are you sure? I wouldn't like to take advantage of you" I said. "Please darling, think of them as a gift from me" said Rarity with a smile. "Ok, thanks for the gift Rarity" I said with a smile. I gave Rarity a hug and we set off back to Twilight's library. "Oh, before I forget, could you make me a costume for nightmare night?" I asked. "But of course dear, what would you like?" Asked Rarity. "I was thinking about being a vampire king, you know like a loner count, I already have a spell to give me wings and fangs, do you think you can do that?" I asked. "hmm, it might be a challenge, I accept! I can have it ready for you tomorrow before the festivities begin" said Rarity rubbing her chin then thrusting it into the air. "Great, I'm looking forward to it, oh, and don't tell anypony I want it to be a surprise" I said. We arrived at Twilight's library. "Got it, goodbye Shadow Star" said Rarity waving a hoof. "Bye" I replied. I walked into Twilight's library and the room was completely dark. 'Why is it so dark in here?' I thought only to have a look of realization on my face afterward. 'Oh shit' I thought in despair. "SURPRISE!!!!" Yelled just about everypony in town. 'How can the whole town fit in here?' I thought. "Hi Shadow Star, what do you think?" asked Pinkie. I looked around I saw a food table with tons of sweets, I saw streamers, balloons, but something was missing. "This is the most ridiculous display I have ever seen.................. and I love it!" I said making everypony cheer. "However" I said making them all go silent. I teleported to the back of the room with a DJ setup. "It needs music!" I Yelled while secretly plugging in my phone and selecting a party mix. The speakers pumped and jumped to the sound of party til we die. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qRJejXo8AFs ---the next morning--- "Ugh" I groaned waking up under a pile of beer bottles and half eaten sweets. "I don't know what happened last night but whatever I did, I wanna rest for a while then do it all over again!" I said with a moan. "You and me both" said Pinkie. My Brain shattered like glass. 'Pinkie!?!' I thought. "Pinkie if you don't get your hooves from where they are now, you will be pulling back bleeding stumps" I told her calmly. She quickly pulled her hooves away. "Sorry" said Pinkie. "It's alright just don't do that again without permission" I said. I got up and went on to help Twilight and the rest clean up the mess. "Somepony please shove an entire bottle of aspirin down my throat, or bash my head in with a sledgehammer, this hangover is killing me" I said aloud. "Well thats what you get for trying to out drink Applejack" said Twilight. "And who won?" I asked. "You did then Applejack passed out, then you decided to celebrate by drinking more, then you passed out after the 50th one" said Twilight. "I've never drank that much, how am I not dead from alcohol poisoning?" I asked rhetorically. They all laughed at that. I moaned and held my head. "Ow, shh, no loud sounds please" I said. That just made them laugh more. Then I passed out. And they were still laughing. > Chapter eight: nightmare night special > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was nightmare night, and I was in my vampire costume. I was able to get my own stall, pfft ha ha, pun intended. I was watching Luna canoodling with the other ponies, so now is my time to strike. "COME ONE COME ALL AND HEAR THE TALE I HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT" I called out, getting the attention of everypony. Flaring my bat wings and showing off my fangs. ---Music starts--- "Now just gather round and I'll elucidate On what goes on outside when it gets late Along about midnight, the ghosts and banshees Get together for their nightly jamboree There's things with horns and saucer eyes Some with fangs about this size" I said while gesturing. "Some are fat And some are thin And some don't even wear their skin I'm telling ya, brother, it's a frightful sight To see what goes on Nightmare Night" I said. [Shadow Star singing] When the spooks have a midnight jamboree They break it up with fiendish glee Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed Is the Headless Horseman, now he's the worst [flower mares Chorus] That's right, he's a fright On Nightmare night [Shadow Star singing] When he goes a-joggin' 'cross the land Holdin' his noggin in his hand Demons take one look and groan And hit the road for parts unknown [flower mares Chorus] Beware, take care, he rides alone [Shadow Star and the flower mares Chorus] And there's no spook like a spook who's spurned They don't like him, and he's really burned He swears to the longest day he's dead He'll show them that he can get a head [Shadow star] They say he's tired of his flamin' top He's got a yen to make a swap So he rides one night each year To find a head in the hollow here [flower mares Chorus] Now he likes them little, he likes them big Part in the middle, or a wig Black or white or even red [Shadow Star] The Headless Horseman needs a head [Shadow Star and flower mares Chorus] With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop He's out lookin' for a top to chop So don't stop to figure out a plan You can't reason with a headless man [Shadow star] Now if you doubt this tale is so I met that spook just a year ago Now I didn't stop for a second look But made for the bridge that spans the brook For once you cross that bridge, my friends [Flower mares Chorus] The ghost is through, his power ends [Shadow Star] So when you're riding home tonight Make for the bridge with all your might He'll be down in the hollow there He needs your head, look out, beware [Shadow Star and flower mares chorus] With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop He's out looking for a head to swap So don't try to figure out a plan You can't reason with a headless man! ---lightning strike--- "AH, HA, HA, HA, HA" went the horseman in the distance on a hill close by. "What was that" asked Princess Luna. "That.... would be the headless horseman" I said with a worried look. ---lightning strike--- "RANBOW DASH WILL YOU KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE LIGHTNING! YOU'RE FREAKING EVERYPONY OUT!" I yelled at Rainbow Dash. "LIGHTEN UP WILL YA" retorted Rainbow Dash. "BITE ME!" I growled back. "Looks like somepony beat me to it, ha ha" said Rainbow Dash. "Very clever, oh, by the way, a Shadow bolt called..... they want their uniform back!" I yelled back. "Grrrrrrr, Fine!" Yelled Rainbow Dash. "Go growl at a Diamond Dog" I yelled. "Anyway nopony is to go into the Everfree Forest, unless they want their head chopped off by a centuries old headless spirit" I yelled. ---elsewhere--- ---THIRD PERSON POV--- "Ha ha ha, oh man, they are so going to be scared" said Mamoru without a head, wearing a suit of armor and a cape, holding a broadsword in one hand and a jack-o-lantern in the other, and sitting atop a horse made of dark magic. Then he rode off into the Everfree forest. ---Ponyville--- ---Shadow Star POV--- I waited for the crowd to disperse before I could meet up with the mane 5. (Fluttershy doesn't like Nightmare Night) I walked over to them. "What was that thing? I thought the headless horseman was just a story" asked Twilight. "Everypony thought that Nightmare Moon was just a story and yet...." I finished gesturing to Princess Luna. She looked over and waved at us, and I waved back. "Anyway, everypony should be safe as long as they don't go into the woods" I said. "Aaaaaah, run the headless horseman is coming this way" said an unnamed pony. "Spoke to soon" I said. "Come on everypony lets take this headless creep down" said Rainbow Dash. "Ok, then all you have to do is find his head" I said. "Come again, sugarcube?" Asked Applejack. "The only way to stop the headless horseman is to give him his head, but that seems like a fools errand, good luck Rainbow, thanks for volunteering" I said looking at Rainbow Dash. "What, hey, do I look like a fool to you" asked Rainbow. I gave her a once over. "Do you really want me to answer that?" I asked. She just gawked at me. ---horse whinnying--- The headless horseman came into view. He rode this way and that tossing pumpkins and swinging his sword around. "HA HA HA HA HA" he laughed. Then he saw us, at least I think he did, I couldn't really tell without his head. "Uh oh, we've been made, EVERYPONY RUN!" I shouted. The mane 5 and I kept running until we reached a dead end. "There's nowhere to go we're trapped" cried Twilight. We all turned around to see the horseman stop a few feet away. He just stood there. "What is he doing" asked Rarity. "Sizing us up, trying to decide who's heat to chop off first" I said hiding a grin. The horseman stepped down from his horse and placed a pumpkin where his head should be. It lit up quickly, flames coming from every hole. The horseman slowly stepped closer and closer until he was just a foot away. The girls all cowering close to me. We all watched as the horseman raised his sword high. The girls all close their eyes, each thinking this is it. Then he brought his sword down. But nothing happened. The girls all opened their eyes. "Huh?" They said in unison. "GOTCHA!" said the horseman in a familiar voice. Then he put away his sword and brought his hand up to his pumpkin head and spun it around. It kept spinning and began to change shape. Then it stopped. The horseman turned out to Mamoru Shinigami the whole time. "Ha ha ha, oh, I got y'all so gooood! Ha ha" said Mamoru. "I can't believe how easy that was, ha ha" he continued. "ARE YOU INSANE YOU NEARLY SCARED US ALL TO DEATH!" I yelled. "And it was awesome!" I continued. The girls just sat there eyes wide and their mouths agape. "Sorry girls I couldn't help it, I just really enjoy this holiday" said Mamoru. "Aw, dude you really had me going there" I said. The girls were still staring with their mouths open. "I think you broke them" I said to Mamoru. "Well I better get going now, have a nice night everypony" said Mamoru walking away and getting back on his horse and riding off. The girls just kept sitting there. "I should probably take you all home" I said. And that's just what I did. "Ok Twilight time for sleep, close your eyes" I said trying to close her eyes only for them to keep popping open. "Ok, I'm getting tape, cuz this is ridiculous" I said leaving the room to get tape. I came back to see spike waving his claws in front of Twilight's face. He looked over to me. "Rough night" he asked. "Yup, hold her eyes closed please" I asked spike. I used my magic to duct tape her eyes shut. "How long is she gonna be like this" asked spike. "She should be fine in the morning, I hope" I said unsure. "Let's get some rest we can check on her in the morning" I told spike. I made my way to my bed and spike made his way to his. But spike didn't see the shadow coming in from the window and go into Shadow Star. "I am beat, good night spike" I said. "Good night Shadow Star" replied spike with a yawn. I used magic to put out the light and curled up into my covers and fell asleep. > Chapter nine > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a few weeks since the Nightmare Night incident. The good news is, the mane six are not catatonic anymore. Bad news, they figured out I was working with Mamoru on the whole ordeal. Well they were half right, since well... we are the same guy. Anyway today is spikes birthday. And yes I already know what's going to happen tomorrow so I'm just going to get him a comic book. That may lead to him reading the power ponies comics but still at least he will enjoy some excellent works of literature. Anyway time to get this show on the road. I walked into the room just as spike was opening his gifts. I took out my gift for him. "Hey spike check this out, happy birthday" I said as I gave him the comic book. "A book?" Asked spike. "Not just a book, its a comic book, its way better, hope you enjoy it, later" I said. "wait where are you going, aren't you gonna stay for cake?" asked Spike. "Nah, sorry dude, I have things to do, I'll be back tomorrow morning" I said apologetically. I opened the door and left. Ok so I don't really have things to do, I just need to grab a few things. Like a HD movie camera, popcorn and soda. Ha ha, when he grows I'm gonna make it into a Kaiju monster movie. ---the next day--- ---ROAR--- Oh man I picked the best spots, having multiple cameras all over town was a great idea. I took a sip of my root beer. "Oh he's going for Rarity" I said taking a bite of popcorn. "And here comes the Wonderbolts to save the day.... or not, ha ha ha" I said watching all the events unfold. "I should put some good theme music in this when this is over" I said to myself as I took another sip of my root beer. "Oh zing back into a tiny dragon, and..... falling down" I said taking a bite of popcorn. "I really should have put butter in this popcorn" I said. "And saved by Rainbow and Fluttershy" I said. "Whelp, time to get the cameras and have the film edited and developed" I said. I got up and teleported to each camera location and took each one back to my room in Twilight's library. ---later--- "Hey everypony I'm back sorry I'm late" I said walking through the front door. "Hey Shadow Star, where have you been? You would not believe the day we've had" said Twilight. "Oh I can imagine" I said wheeling in my finished project. "Hey whats with all the film, are you going to watch a movie?" Asked Spike. "No, WE are going to watch a movie" I said rigging up a projector. "Neat, what movie are we watching" asked Spike. "We are watching a movie I like to call attack of the fifty-foot birthday boy" I said turning on the projector. "Wait what? Asked both Twilight and Spike in surprise. The movie started with Spike bursting out of Sugarcube Corner. Then proceeded to rampage through town. He grabbed Rarity and kept collecting items. The sirens went off and in came the Wonderbolts, only to be trapped inside what used to be the water tower. Then Spike changes back to normal and both he and Rarity fall down, to be rescued by Rainbow Dash and fluttershy. And then the movie ends. I use magic to turn off the projector, then proceeded to put the film back into its case. Then I packed it all up and went to my room. Both Twilight and Spike just kept sitting there eyes wide and mouths open, completely catatonic. I came out and got a glass of water. I came back into the room and took off one of my horseshoes. Then I drank the water and took my freed hoof and smacked the both of them repeatedly. I then reinstalled my horseshoe. "Next time, don't let things escalate that far" I said. "Where, how, when did you have time to make all this" asked Twilight, cheeks red from the smacking around. "Thats my business, Spike stay out of trouble" I said. I headed to my room and closed the door. I took off my clothes and realized, I've never seen my cutie mark. I looked where my cutie mark would be and there it was. It was not what I was expecting. It was an image of crossed katanas and crossed guns just below the swords, with a few tiny grenades and throwing knives scattered about. "Awesome" I said to myself admiring my cutie mark. I got in my bed and looked over to my pants which was nicely folded on the dresser with the rest of my clothes, and used magic to pull out my phone from my pocket. I selected some music and got comfortable. I listened to my music until it was time for bed. ---Meanwhile--- "How did he film all that" asked Spike. "I don't know" said Twilight. "How could he have possibly known where to place his cameras, none of this makes any sense" said Twilight. "Maybe we should ask him about it tomorrow" suggested Spike. Twilight looked in the direction of Shadow Star's room. "Maybe you're right, Spike, lets get some rest" said Twilight. They both made their way upstairs and went to bed. ---the next morning--- ---Shadow Star POV--- I woke up refreshed, I stretched my limbs and got out of bed. Then I split myself in two. One half became my pony form and the other became Mamoru. I sent Mamoru away so he could pop up again later, so I could keep up the charade that we are two different guys. I went and checked my phone for the time 9:45 am. I decided to leave my clothes off all except my horseshoes and goggles, and I used my magic to gather them up in a laundry basket, I left my my guns and katanas on my nightstand. Then I left my utility belt with grenades, throwing knives, and ammo on the dresser. I opened the door to my room and left. I went into the kitchen with my laundry close behind. I saw Twilight and Spike making breakfast. "Good morning you two, isn't this a beautifully delightful day" I said sounding more chipper than I'd liked. "Good morning Shadow Star, doing your laundry?" greeted Twilight. "I would be doing it, but I don't know how, could you show me please?" I asked politely. Twilight smiled, only Twilight could smile about laundry. "Of course, I'd love to" replied Twilight. > Chapter ten > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a couple weeks after Spike's litte greed induced growth spurt. And I'm sorry to say that as soon as me and Twilight got into the laundry room I slipped on spilled laundry soap and hit my head. I've just woken up in Ponyville's hospital and find out I was in a coma for a couple weeks. I got out of the hospital bed and as I was taking off the gown they placed on me, I heard a metal tray crash onto the ground. I turn around to see Nurse Redheart. "Oh, my, you're finally awake" She said. "I can assume I've been in a coma, but I'm not concerned about that, what day is it" I asked. "Umm, it's hearts and hooves day" said Nurse Redheart. "But I really think you should get back in bed so I can examine you" she said. "Oh I see, trying to take advantage of a prince from Canterlot, you naughty nurse" I said with a smirk and faux dismay. "B-but I-I" She stammered. "Gotcha, I'm just messing with you" I said. "Do you happen to have a special Somepony?" Asked Nurse Redheart. "Nah, not really trying to get into special relationships" I said while getting into the bed. "Oh" She said sounding disappointed. "But you asked me that question, which tells me you don't have a special somepony, or you do have somepony in mind they don't feel the same way, but if you want to be my special somepony, it can only be for today and today alone, because like I said I'm not interested in having special relationships" I said giving her a smile. "T-thank you, your highness" Said Nurse Redheart. "Just call me Shadow Star, I only allow nobles and the rich to call me prince or your highness, but with some who don't know I'm royalty, I like to mess with them and turn them into a groveling mess after they offend me" I said letting myself get carried away. "O-ok then, I'll just begin with the examination" Said Nurse Redheart. "Ok, I'm just gonna space out while you do that" I said. She continues with her examination until she feels satisfied. "Alright Shadow Star, you're still a bit weak from the coma, so you will have to stay a while for recovery" she said. I looked out the window. "If that's what you suggest" I said. "Alright now that that is settled, I have other patients that need my assistance" said Nurse Redheart as she left. 'I wonder what the other me is doing out there' I thought to myself. ---Elsewhere--- ---Mamoru POV--- "Finally! hearts and hooves day!" I said with excitement. 'The CMC should be working on that bottle of love poison right about now' I thought to myself. I flew to the CMC's treehouse and sure enough they were working on the potion. Just as the finished I popped up inside and took the potion in my hand. "Hey give that back whatever you are, thats for Big Mac and Miss Cheerilee!" Said Scootaloo. "Well this is a very powerful potion, are you girls sure you want to use it?" I asked. "Yes we are mister" said Sweetie belle. "Hmm, well..... alright but first a song!" I said pointing my index finger to the sky. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QkMZplgaMe0 After the song was done. I gave them the potion and disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. "That guy was weird" said Scootaloo. Both Applebloom and Sweetie belle nodded in agreement. ---Later--- "Oh, no, the potion backfired and now Big Mac and CheerIilee can't keep their eyes off each other" I said to the CMC in a condescending tone. "Please mister tell us how to undo it" asked Sweetie belle. "Aah, the eyes, their staring into my soul, it burns, it burns!, fine I'll tell you!" I said. 'Why do they have to be so cute' I thought in despair. "Sigh, the only way to break it is to keep them apart for 24 hours, if you can even pry them away from each other for that long, now hurry up and separate them" I said waving them off. They ran off to come up with a plan. "Alright time to get some popcorn and soda and get somewhere high up" I said to myself clapping my hands and rubbing them together. "AH HAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAAA" I laughed maniacally. Then stopped suddenly and walked away. Once I was out of sight, I flew to where I could see everything perfectly. I watched the events unfold, suddenly I noticed something peculiar, a blue box. "What is that? No it couldn't be" I said. "but it doesn't hurt to check" I said. used my super vision to zoom in on the writing, and it was unmistakable, "police public call box, so He is here" I said with a cheshire grin letting my sharp teeth show. I went over to the blue box and knocked on the door. "Yes, can I help you?" Said The Doctor then he looks up at me and his eyes go wide. "Actually I believe you can, may I come in?" I asked walking into the blue box. "Just as I suspected, Time And Relative Dimension In Space, this is a TARDIS, and you" I said turning to the pony. "Are the Doctor, the timelord who ran from gallifrey during the time war" I said. He ran up to me. "How do you know who I am" he demanded. "Well since you are aware of other worlds, I guess I have no choice but to tell you the truth" I said. He stared at me intently. "I arrived in this world a few hours before Nightmare Moon reappeared, I came from another dimension where all of Equestria is all part of a children's TV show, and you are included with it, and even you have your own show, DOCTOR WHO, except you look more human, and I have seen a lot of it, Ive seen every episode of this world, all the way to the series finale, but Im pretty sure you'd like to know how i got here, well how it happened was, i got a weird letter and woke up in Equestria, I also discovered I had dark magic that gives me super powers, I'd explain more but I'm out of breath" I said hyperventilating. I steady my breathing and look to the Doctor. "Well that is quite interesting" he said. I walked over to the console and started fiddling with the controls. "Hey stop what are you doing" He shrieked. I finished fiddling with the controls and looked over to him. "Calm down I just moved us to the hospital" I said. "We didn't move it didn't make the sound it normally makes" he said. "that's because you leave the parking brake on" i said opening the door to make sure I didn't accidentally take us to Pluto. I looked around and sure enough we were right were I wanted to be. Shadow Star came out the front door. "Sup, need a lift?" I said. "In the TARDIS, absolutely" said Shadow Star as he walked in. "Ok dude let's get back together" I said. ---Third Person POV--- Shadow Star morphed into Mamoru Shinigami and now there were two of them. They walked towards each other and merged together. Now there was just one Mamoru Shinigami. "What just happened" asked the Doctor. "Oh a couple weeks ago I split into two and Shadow Star went into a coma, I had to wait till he woke up before we could get back together" said Mamoru. "Oh I see, you needed a way to go around without causing panic, and you also needed to be in two places at once to keep up a charade that kept everypony from knowing that both Mamoru Shinigami and Shadow Star were one and the same the whole time" Said The Doctor. "Yup that just about sums it up" said Mamoru. "Anyway I need to borrow your TARDIS if that's ok" asked Mamoru. The Doctor grew cross. "Absolutely not, my TARDIS is not a taxi service" said the Doctor. Mamoru just stared at him for a few minutes and used his super speed to get to the controls and started fiddling with them again. "I said you couldn't use my TARDIS" Yelled The Doctor. Mamoru finished up with the controls and ran to the door. The door opened to reveal that it was nighttime and it was right next to Twilight's library. Mamoru walked out of the TARDIS and turned around. "Oh by the way I brought us just a night before the great dragon migration bye" Said Mamoru closing the door. Angry noises could be heard within before the TARDIS dematerialized. Then Mamoru turns around and morphs into Shadow Star. He went into the library and quietly made his way to his room. He found his clothes on top of his swords and guns. He went into the bed got into the covers and went to sleep. > Chapter eleven > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---The next morning--- ---Shadow Star POV--- The door to my room opened and in came Twilight she came over and got onto my bed. I turned in my sleep and wrapped a hoof around her, still asleep, well, pretending to be anyway. She saw my hoof around her and closed her eyes, then quickly opened them and followed the hoof up to the pony it belonged to. She slowly got out of my grasp and out off the bed and left the room. A few seconds later my serenity was shattered. "He's back!?!" Shouted Spike. I burst open the door "YEAH AND HE'S TRYING TO SLEEP" I Yelled then closed the door and got back into bed. "Let him sleep Spike, who knows what he's been through, now let's go meet up with the girls, the great dragon migration is today" said Twilight. Hearing that, my eyes burst open. I put on all my clothes and gear, open my door and walked past Twilight and spike and went out the door. "Come on you two hurry up I'd like to see all the dragons" I said looking back. ---Later--- "Hey Spike, I'm coming with you, and I'm not taking no for an answer" I said looking down at Spike. "Alright fine, you can tag along, but nopony else, just you Shadow Star" Said Spike as he began walking. "Yup" I said walking close behind. ---Later--- "Finally we're here" I said looking around. "Ok Spike you go mingle I'm gonna go over there and watch from above" I said pointing to a cliff with my hoof. "Ok, later" he said while running off. 'They are gonna eat him alive' I thought to myself as I put my goggles over my eyes. I walked to the cliff I pointed to and sat down on my haunches. 'Oh look there's Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow' I thought while looking at their sad excuse for a dragon disguise. "Move pony" said a dragon behind me. I just turned around and stared up at him. "I'm only gonna say this once, go away or I will make you understand the true meaning of pain and suffering" I said with my voice devolving into a monstrous tone while moving my goggles up and letting my real eyes show. The dragon just stared. I took one step towards him and he scampered off with his tail between his legs. "Hehe" I chuckled. I put my goggles back over my eyes and turned around to continue watching the spectacle below. "King of the hoard" I heard Garble shout. "Wow they are really going at it" I said to myself. 'Ok, I see where this is going' I thought. "Oooh, dang Spike even I felt that painful looking belly flop, ouch" I said after watching spike hit the lava. "And now they are partying, Hmm, aside from the gem eating, they aren't that different from human teenagers, except they seem a little more tame than human teenagers, then there would be underage drinking, doing drugs, and getting girls pregnant, or was that college teens? Oh well, Glad I didn't do any of that, oh look their slowing down, and they are out" I said watching the events unfold. "Uh oh, next is the dragon raid, their gonna be after the Phoenix eggs! I better get going" I said getting up. I ran to where I saw the Phoenix nest and hid behind a nearby bush. It was dark when they arrived. 'Oh no their peer pressuring spike to destroy the egg' I thought. Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow show themselves, my turn to show up. "You want to get through him you have to go through us" I said and Garble is not happy. "Run away" Yelled Spike. I turned around and followed suit. "We aren't losing them girls" I said. Twilight tries to teleport us away but can't. "Ok I didn't wanna have to do this but apparently I don't have much choice" I said. I morphed into my true form, Mamoru Shinigami. "Do what?" Twilight began but saw me and stopped. "What? How?" Asked Rainbow. "No time to explain we got to kick it into high gear, I don't want to have to hurt them but, I might be able slow them down" said to the ponies and Spike. I looked behind us an thrust out an arm and sent out a shockwave, it worked at first but then they kept coming. "Of course it isn't that easy, oh Rarity I forgive you about that comment you made about my sunglasses, these goggles are way better" I said. "You're bringing this up now!?!" She screeched. "I know bad time" I said. I thrust my arm out only this time my arm turned into a fusion cannon. "I had no idea I could do this" I said firing at the dragons and intentionally missing to get them to back off, but that didn't work so arm went back to normal and I threw a couple grenades. Those worked. "Ok Twilight hurry up with that teleportation spell before they decide to come after us again" I said to Twilight. "You have magic you try" she said back. "Can't do that, too much going on at once" I said. "Fine! I'll do it" said Twilight. She warmed up her magic and this time we teleported back to the treehouse. I ran into the wall cuz I couldn't stop in time. "Ow" I said. "I am so glad we are back" I said getting up and turning around. 'Oh they are glaring daggers at me!' I thought. "Ok mister you have some explaining to do" Said Rainbow Dash. I walked over to a chair and took a seat. "Ok you win, explanation time" I said. "When I first arrived in Equestria, I flew over Ponyville and went to Canterlot, there I met Princess Celestia, and she let me stay in the castle in the form of the young Shadow Star, at that time I had to wear an enchanted necklace, but now I can do it without it since I absorbed Discord's chaos magic from when he impaled me, and the chaos magic fused with my dark magic making it become dark chaos magic, the potion thing was just a rouse to make it believable for when I showed up as an adult, in order keep up the charade that Mamoru and Shadow Star were two different beings, I split myself in two, each one keeping up the the appearance to not arouse suspicion, I'm sorry for deceiving you all but you have to admit I was making it intentionally obvious, you didn't even question why both Mamoru and Shadow Star wore the same clothes, we even had the same weapons" I said gesturing around and showing off my weapons. "So you've been lying to us the entire time? You scared us half to death on Nightmare Night!" said Rarity. "No I just didn't always tell the whole truth, sorry about Nightmare Night, that was a bad call on my part, but every fun time we had was real" I said. "I'm sending a letter to the Princess about your deceit" Said Twilight. She turned around to get paper and a quill. "Well.... the whole me masquerading as a pony and being her nephew was kind of her idea" I said. She dropped the pen and paper and looked at me, her eye twitching, which rattled my very core. "Anything else you'd like to tell us?" Rarity said with disdain. I thought back and stroked my chin. I looked at all three of them. "I think I better not cuz I think Twilight's head would explode" I responded. "You can tell Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie, if you want but nopony else must know, if word gets out about the truth, the ponies would go after Princess Celestia, demanding to know what is really going on, I don't even want to imagine what could happen!" I said. They all looked at each other. "We can discus more of this in the morning, now we need rest and time to process" said Twilight. Both Rainbow Dash and Rarity left the treehouse and Spike went upstairs with his Phoenix egg to send a friendship lesson to Celestia, leaving me alone with Twilight and her twitching eye. "Im in big trouble aren't I?" I asked. She just kept staring at me. "I'm just gonna go since that vein in your forehead is pulsing, and I don't want it to burst" I said getting up and walking out the door and flying off into the sky. I landed on a cloud and got comfortable. "Looks like I'm gonna have to stay up here for a while, I hope Twilight and the rest forgive me" I said closing my eyes and going to sleep. > Chapter twelve > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I never returned to Twilight's treehouse after that night, now Canterlot is under attack, I know the mane 6 are there, but should I go? I'm going, I have to! Their my friends! I stood up strong on my cloud and took off like a rocket straight out of hell. I arrived in time to get behind The mane 6 right before they opened the door to get the elements. And we were all taken prisoner to Queen Chrysalis. I tuned out her monologue until she noticed me. "Now what is this I see, what are you" She asked lifting my chin. I remained silent "come now you must have something to say" she said. I moved my goggles up to show my eyes. "Chrysalis I suggest you leave now, cuz I've seen the future and it aint pertty" I said with my sharp teeth showing. She just laughed at me, making my eye twitch.Then she went on with her Monologue. Then Cadence and Shining blow away all the changelings. "I warned her" I said. Twilight walked up to me. "Are you coming back home?" She asked. "You still mad and not forgive me?" I asked back. She got up and hugged me. "I'm not mad, and I do forgive you" Said Twilight. "Ok, I'll meet you back home" I said putting my goggles back on and flying out the window. ---Some Time Later--- I was on a train with the mane 6 and Spike. "Are we there yet? I don't know about you girls but I can hardly wait to see the Crystal Empire" I said looking out the window. "We're nearly there, Mamoru, Just be patient" said Twilight. "You have no idea how patient I've been" I mumbled under my breath as I rolled my eyes underneath my goggles. "What's that ya said, Sugarcube?" Asked Applejack. "I said I've been patient" I told Applejack. "Alrighty then" replied Applejack appearing satisfied with my answer. "Aw, finally" said Rainbow Dash. "Took the words right outta my mouth" I said as we were exiting the train. "Hey Shining Armor" I said waving. ---one minute later--- "Aaaaah" I Yelled. We had just gotten through the barrier protecting the Crystal Empire, and I thought we were safe............ until I looked at my left arm. "Damn aerenth crystals are all over my arm" said annoyed. I looked over to Shining Armor. He had aerenth crystals on his horn. "You to huh, well I don't know about you but I'm going to cut this thing off" I said taking off my coat. I drew the katana on my right and held out my arm. "This is gonna hurt a lot" i said. "Wait don't...." Protested everypony, but they were too late. I took my sword and cut my arm off. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! FUCK! THAT HURT LIKE A BITCH!" I yelled out in pain. "Language!" said Shining Armor. The pain started to go away and I put my sword back in its sheath. "ARE YOU INSANE" Yelled Twilight. "I cut my friggin arm off, what do you think?" I said calmly. I grabbed my coat and put it over my right shoulder. I picked my arm off the ground and put it under my right arm and kept it there. "Why would you cut off your arm?" asked Shining Armor. "So I can grow a new one" I said lifting my stump and concentrating, but nothing happened, a look of shock plastered itself on my face. I lifted the stump as close to my face as I could. "Ok that explains why it's not growing back, there are crystals inside the flesh and bone marrow" I said. Rarity fainted. "Come on lets head to the palace, I need to make a temporary prosthetic" I said. We all walked to the center where the castle was, I got a few odd stares from a few crystal ponies. We made our way to the throne room. "Cadence" cried Twilight. "Sunshine sunshine ladybugs awake clap your hooves and do a little shake" they both said while greeting each other. "Hey Cadence how are you" I asked. "Mamoru! What happened to your arm" she asked worriedly. I took out my dismembered arm covered in crystals and made it wave. The guards in the room threw up after seeing my arm. "Hahaha, priceless, anyway it's covered in crystals, and I had to cut it off, normally it would have grown back by now, but they spread deeper than I thought" I said using the arm for gestures. "WILL YOU STOP THAT!" Yelled Shining. "Fine" I said. "You have any blacksmiths here cuz I need to craft a temporary prosthetic" I asked. "There is a shop in town" said Shining. He waved over a guard and whispered in his ear, the guardspony nodded and walked over to me."follow me sir" said the guard trying not to puke. "Sweet, can you hold my hand on the way there" I said giving him my detached limb. " I'd.. ulp... rather not" said the guard, trying his hardest not to blow chunks. I put my arm under my good one and we went off to the blacksmith shop. "He is sick" I overheard Shining say. "That's right!" I Yelled back making him flinch. We finally made it to the blacksmith shop. I knocked on the door with my old arm and put it back under my good one. The guard turned pale after that. We didn't wait long for the door to open. "H-hello, can I help you" asked a strongly built crystal stallion. "Hi is it alright if I use your forge?" I asked. "Is this stuff what you mean?" He asked as if he were unsure. Inside was a furnace, an anvil and a few tools for making weapons and armor. "Yes, can I use it?" I asked. "Help yourself, I don't even know if I work here" he said. I looked at him quizzically and shrugged. I walked inside and the guard walked in with me. "Ok, first things first, we need to light the forge, and get the fire to burn hot enough to make the metal, then we have to make....... never mind I can use my magic" I said. I put my coat and old arm in a safe place. I lit the forge with a snap of my fingers and it burst to life. I went and gathered the tools I needed. "Hey guard, I'm going to need an assistant here" I said beckoning the guard over. I got out a couple large smelting pots and put in copper in one, iron in another, and bronze in the last one. the guard placed them in the forge for me. I went over to the bellows and started pumping the fire with the guard pony's help while the blacksmith pony just watched in silence. Once the metals were melted I grabbed my old arm and put it into the pot of molten iron, then had the guard put it back in the fire. I went to work making molds and once I was finished, me and the guard poured in the metals into each mold. Once the metal cooled, we broke the molds and put the pieces together. Once the arm was complete, it kind of looked like a steampunk version of Claw's vibranium prosthetic gun arm. I put in place then fastened it on. As soon as I put it on, I channeled my magic into it. Once I did, I was able to make it move. I flexed each finger and each joint. I took out a magazine and put it into the slot in the arm. Then the had it come apart. I aimed the gun and fired. BANG "Perfect" I said pleased with my work. I cleaned up the mess with a snap and put on my coat. "Alright, guard you are dismissed, I have things to do" I said leaving. > Chapter thirteen > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I flew to the castle and went in through the window to see a a dark hole in the floor. "Huh, I was gone longer than I thought" I said. I hurried down into the chamber where I found Spike with Twilight sitting in front of a door. "C'mon Twilight wake up" said Spike. I cleared my throat to get his attention. "Huh, Mamoru, I'm so glad you're here, cool arm by the way, something's wrong with Twilight" he said worried. I waved my hand in front of her face, "Yup, she aint home" I said. "What's wrong with her" he asked. I looked at the door, then at Twilight. I closed the door. She shook her head. I looked at the door. "Mamoru what are you doing down here?" Asked Twilight. "Enjoying the show" I said as I looked to the crystal above the door. I raised my good arm and thought happy thoughts and sent a Rainbow beam at the crystal. The door opened revealing a staircase. "Let's go, Sombra is on his way and he isn't happy!" I said running up the stairs. Eventually Twilight and Spike caught up. I stopped. "This is taking forever" I said. Then me and Twilight looked at each other with a knowing smile. "Gravity spell!" Me and Twilight said together. I grabbed Twilight and when we cast the spell we went from walking on steps to sliding up the bottom of them. "I studied gravity spells in case it would by in my test, I'm glad I did" Said Twilight. "I spent most of my time here reading books and scrolls, and I've memorized each spell and potion I read about, I'm not sure if you knew, but I have an almost photographic memory, almost meaning my short term sometimes causes me to be a little forgetful, but long term is great, and this is awesome, I've never slid up the bottom of stairs before!" I said. My soles sparked as we made it all the way to the top, once we did, we canceled the spell and our gravity was back to normal. There in the middle of the room was the crystal heart. Twilight went for it. "Wait" I cried, but it was too late, dark crystal shot up from the ground and trapped Twilight inside. The Crystal heart slid to me and Spike. "Twilight, we have to get the Crystal heart to Cadence, NOW, it doesn't matter who brings it, it never mattered, Spike get the heart and grab on, we'll be back for you Twilight" I said with haste. I took my prosthetic arm off and tossed it to Twilight. "After this I won't need that, but I might need it again so hold onto it" I said while picking up Spike with the crystal heart. I ran to the edge and jumped. I saw Cadence being launched by Shining Armor and sombra coming for us. "Spike take this to Cadence, I have a score to settle" I said giving him to Cadence as she flew past. Sombra was about to go after them but I sent out a shockwave to push him back. I shot after him and gave him the strongest and most epic and devastating uppercut of all time, just as the crystal heart was put back to where it truly belongs. There was a wave of love that vanquished Sombra, and flowed all over Equestria. I watched as his horn sailed off, Only to be seen again in season 9. It made everypony in the Crystal Empire sparkle and shine even me, it also got rid of the crystals in Shining's horn and my arm, causing it to comically pop out of my sleeve. I was able to make a controlled fall towards the ground. I looked myself over, I was covered from head to toe in.... magic that made me shine I guess. I used my super speed to run back to get Twilight. I ran up the side of the castle and made it to the top I stopped as soon as I got there. "Hey Twilight, I like the crystal look, I fancy it myself, lets say we get out of here" I said. I grabbed Twilight bride style, and ran down the side of the castle and ran to the base of the castle and I met up with Everypony. I put Twilight down and looked around, everything is as it should be. "We did it, alright!" I said throwing my fists into the air. All the crystal ponies cheered for me and Spike. "I could get used to this" I said smiling. "Time to celebrate" I said pulling out my phone and selecting one of my favorite songs and using my magic to send the sound into the castle, causing it to vibrate and amplify the music so it could be heard by everypony in the Empire. ---Music starts--- https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AkLM7CJEeBg ---later back in Canterlot--- "Well, Twilight, how'd it go" I asked. Me, Spike, and the girls gathered around Twilight. "I passed" said Twilight smiling. Everypony congratulated Twilight, then as we all finished, I flew into the sky and spun around with my arms out, sending fireworks into the sky. Then I blasted off towards Ponyville. "You didn't really think I'd stick around for their little song did you?" I said with a grin. ---later at Twilight's library--- I was there in the library in my pony form I left my clothes in the laundry and had my weapons on my nightstand, I liked to leave my horseshoes on so I wasn't completely unarmed, I had magic, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't have a backup plan in case my magic doesn't work. So I just looked like any other pony stallion. I was reading a book when Twilight and Spike got back home, Spike was sleeping on Twilight's back. "Hey Twilight, you have fun?" I said putting my book away. "Yes I did, Shadow Star, why didn't you sing with us?" She asked. "You and your friends have sing alongs almost every day" I said "I wouldn't say" she started before I interrupted her by pulling out my phone and playing just about every song she and her friends had sung up until a couple hours ago. Wait where was I keeping my phone? "You were saying" I said with a smirk. Twilight blushed. "Ok you have a point" admitted Twilight. "Lets get to bed, I'm beat" I said getting up and heading to my room. "Good night" said Twilight. "Good night" I said back. I went over to my bed, got comfortable, and went to sleep. > Chapter fourteen > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was in the middle of Town in my true form. My goggles were up on my forehead. I just kept looking around....... but I didn't believe what I was seeing. "PINKIE PIE!" I yelled at the heavens making Luna's royal Canterlot voice sound like a small whisper by comparison. I was surrounded by hundreds of Pinkie Pies. Each one kept saying the word fun over and over and over. My right eye kept twitching, I was close to losing it. "Mamoru, can you help us round up all the pinkie pies" asked Twilight coming up to me. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Sure Twilight, but I just have one teeny tiny question" I said calmly. "Sure" said Twilight. "WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PINKIE PIES!?!" I Yelled blowing Twilight back a few feet. Twilight recovered. "No time to explain can you help us gather them up?" She asked. "Fine, where do you need them?" I said letting my arms and shoulders sag in defeat. "Town hall" Said Twilight. "Got it" I said running off at full speed. I decided the best way to gather them up was to divide and conquer. I split into two and then I kept dividing. Then all of me grabbed two Pinkies each and brought them to town hall and left to retrieve more. It wasn't long until all the Pinkies have been gathered. "That should be all of them" all of me said, beginning to merge together. "At least when I split apart I have a hive mind so there won't be any problems, and it's easier to become one again" I said finally becoming one person again. "Got the last one she was out looking sad and drawing lines in the dirt" said Rainbow Dash while bringing in one last Pinkie. -------- "Of all things to choose, you just had to choose this, watching paint dry" I said waving a hand over to the wall with wet paint. "Ok Girls I love you all, but I need to go on vacation, cuz all this is ridiculous" I said walking off. "Wait Mamoru, what do you mean vacation" asked Rainbow Dash. I turned around. "I mean I'm going away for a while and will be back sometime, now Im going back to get....... wait a minute I don't own anything here, never mind, I'm just gonna leave now, later everpony" I said waving goodbye. I used my super speed and searched all over Ponyville for my quarry, but it wasn't anywhere in Ponyville, so I ran to Canterlot. I ran to Manehattan, it wasn't there either. I ran to Appleoosa, it wasn't there either. It wasn't there either. I ran all over Equestria, then I ran to the Crystal Empire, I found it by a streetlamp, the thing I've been searching for, the TARDIS. I walked over and started banging on the door. "Open up Doctor I know you're in there, I've been running all over Equestria to find you!" I said. The door opened but the Doctor wasn't there. Instead the TARDIS was empty. I walked inside and was greeted to a few blips an beeps, but nothing else. "Oh where could he be?" I said. I then remembered the TARDIS was a living thing. 'TARDIS must have let me in' I thought. Then the door opened again and in came the Doctor. The Doctor looked at me. "Oh no, not you again" he said making me frown. "Hey that's not nice, I brought you a gift too, oh well" I said materializing a wrapped gift box. I lit it on fire and tossed it outside. "What do you want Mamoru" asked the Doctor. "Im glad you asked, I need a ride into the future" I said. "How far into the future?" He asked rubbing his chin. " magical mystery cure, the night Twilight becomes an alicorn" I said. "Why should I take you there?" He asked. "I am bored, and would like to take a shortcut" I said. The Doctor remained quiet then looked at me. "Fine, I'll take you there, but you can't touch a thing in the TARDIS" he said. "On one condition, you have to make my phone work anywhere and everywhere, and a sonic screwdriver, deal?" I said. He seemed to think about it for a few minutes. "Fine, deal, but no screwdriver, give me your phone" he said. "Fair enough, Here you go" I said giving him my phone. He did something with his screwdriver on my phone and gave it back. I checked it and sure enough I had service. Then the Doctor started flipping switches and pushing buttons. The TARDIS started making its signature TARDIS noise and after a few shakes the It stopped. "Here we are, two hours before Twilight becomes an alicorn" said the Doctor. I walked out of the TARDIS to see we landed right next to Twilight's library. "Thanks for the ride Doc, here have a carrot" I said tossing him a carrot. He caught it in his mouth and stared chewing with a smile that made him look like a small child getting candy. I closed the doors slowly and walked to Twilight's library. I looked inside to see the ponies having a good time. Then I see Twilight completing the spell. "And so it begins" I say in a deep voice. Twilight disappears and I turn around and wait for Twilight to reappear. Twilight is now outside with wings and Celestia. I stay quiet until it seemed like they were done talking. ----slow claps---- They all look in my direction and I walk out of the shadows still clapping."Hahaha" I laughed creepily. "You have no idea how long I had to wait for this night" I said. "Mamoru!" They all said with excitement. Then without warning they group hugged me. "Hey girls, I'm back" I deadpanned. "We missed you so much" said Pinkie. "Where did you go, darling?" Asked Rarity. They kept asking questions. I sent them flying with a shockwave."one at a time, geez, I just get back and y'all are already all over me, give me time to decompress!" I said. "Sorry for croudin' ya like that Sugarcube, we just missed you is all" said Applejack. "I appreciate the sentiment, now Pinkie, I believe that all this requires a celebration, lets get inside and have fun!" I said going into the treehouse. "Say hello to my little friend!" I said bringing out a comically gigantic party cannon. The party cannon revved up and started vibrating. -----Boom----- the room was filled with party decorations all over the place. There were sweets, punch, cake, etc., and in the back of the room was a dj booth. I ran over to the booth and plugged my phone in. I selected party rock anthem and turned the volume up all the way to the max. Then I snapped my fingers and placed two subwoofers on both sides of the booth. Then I placed two more on the opposite side of the room. Then the music started playing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wO2TLZ6Pqo4 With the music playing I couldn't help but get to the middle of the room and start shuffling. The music and dance was so infectious everypony joined me, even Princess Celestia. Then I had a few drinks (87) and then my vision blurred and I passed out. > Chapter fifteen Equestria girls special > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We got off the the train at the Crystal Empire. "This is awesome! I'll never get tired of coming here" I said as we made our way to the palace. "hooowee, your first Princess summit, you must be over the moon Twilight" said Applejack as we arrived. "Oh I am excited, but to be honest I am a little nervous too" said Twilight. "You're nervescited, it's when you wanna jump up and down and say YAY ME! But you also wanna curl up in a teeny tiny ball and hide at the same time, we've all been there" said Pinkie. "I'm there almost every day" said Fluttershy. "You've got no reason to fret Twi, everything's gonna be just..." said Applejack before she was interrupted by Rarity. "Twilight! Oh sorry darling, but i just realized you're not wearing your crown, you haven't forgotten it back in Ponyville have you?" Asked Rarity holding Twilight's face. "It's in my bag" said Twilight while Spike patted her bag. "I just feel a little self-conscious about wearing it, haven't really gotten accustomed to these yet either" said Twilight flapping her wings trying to fly, only to fall flat on the ground. "You are a Princess now Twilight, embrace it, I'm telling you if I had a crown like that, I would never take it off, why I'd sleep in the thing" said Rarity. ---later in the palace --- We all walked in to the sound of fanfare. And Twilight wasn't looking where she was going so she bumped into Equestria's flash sentry. He looked a little surprised, then got over it and got back to what he was doing. "Her highness Princess Twilight Sparkle" announced flash sentry. "Twilight I haven't seen you since the coronation" said Cadence with a smile. "We have so much to discuss, but it can wait until tomorrow, you all look tired from your journey, now off to bed all of you" said Princess Celestia. The mane 6 got excited and began talking amongst themselves. ---later that night--- I was sitting in my room reading a book while waiting for sunset shimmer to arrive and make her move. Then I heard a ruckus outside my room. "Showtime!" I said with glee. Since I already new the backstory I waited In the room with the mirror. They arrived after a few minutes. "This is no ordinary mirror, it is a gateway to another world, a gateway that opens once every thirty moons" Explained Luna. "Sparkly" said Pinkie messing with it. "Wait, thirty moons? Im still unsure how time is managed here but to me thirty moons is only a month!?! I said with confusion. They just ignored my comment. "It has always been kept in the throne room of Canterlot castle, but when Princess Cadence took over the Crystal Empire we sent it here for her to watch over" explained Luna. "Let me take a wild guess Celestia, you were thinking that sunset shimmer would eventually come back to seek your guidance, but instead she came back to steal Twilight's crown" I said with crossed arms. Celestia only nodded sadly. "Twilight you must use the mirror to go into this other world and retrieve your crown, without it the other elements of harmony have no power and Equestria is left without its most important means of defense" said Cadence. Twilight only nodded. Her friends looked to each other. "Your crown does not belong in the place sunset shimmer now calls home and in her possession your element of harmony will no doubt be used to bring harm to the inhabitants of this other realm they will not have the power to defend themselves" said Luna with a frown. Twilight looked in the mirror as Celestia gave her her saddle bags. "You understand the importance of your task?" Asked Celestia. "Of course" replied Twilight. "Good then you must go at once" said Celestia. Twilight took a deep breath and exhaled then took a step forward, only for Rainbow to block her path. "Woah, woah, woah, if she's going we're going with her" said Rainbow Dash as all Twilights friends gathered next to Rainbow Dash. "Oooh, I'm so nervicited" said Pinkie. "You do realize thats not a real word right?" Said Applejack. Twilights eyes welled up with tears of joy. "I'm afraid I can't let you go" said Celestia. "What! why not?" Asked Rainbow. "Sending all of you could upset the balance of this alternate world creating havoc that would make it impossible for Twilight to get the crown back from sunset shimmer, this is something Princess Twilight must do alone" said Celestia. "Time is of the essence, on the third day, when the moon reaches it's peak in the night sky, the gateway will close, and once it does it'll be another thirty moons before you will be able to use it to return" said luna. I used my magic to make a copy of my phone so I would have an extra. Twilight got words of encouragement from her friends and she stepped up to the mirror putting a hoof in, jerking it back and looking to us all. Twilight walked through the mirror and I knew Spike was going to run in after her, so right as he got close to me I snatched him up and ran for the mirror myself. "Spike, Mamoru, NO!" They said as me and Spike went through. "Uh Twilight" Spike said. "Spike, you're not supposed to..... Spike are you a dog!?!" Said Twilight. "Yes he is, and you're human, glad we got that covered" I said as I put my goggles on my forehead. Twilight looked at her new hands. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH" screamed Twilight. "GIRL WILL YOU QUIT SCREAMIN' IN MY EAR!" I yelled at Twilight. Twilight started panicking. "Twilight calm down its not that bad" I said. Twilight looked at me. "Easy for you to say, the only thing different with you is your eyes" she said. I just deadpanned and raised an eyebrow. "Ok, then you can do whatever you want then, I'm going to explore the town, I'm gonna catch up with you later, here this is a cell phone, I made a copy of mine before I came through, all you have to do is turn it on and say call Mamoru, and it'll call me on mine" I said giving Twilight the phone and explaining how to use it and showing her mine. I got up and walked away. I walked to a bus stop and waited for the bus. My phone began ringing. I picked it up and answered in my best impression of a receptionist. "Hello Mamoru Shinigami, how can I help you?" I said on my phone. "Aaah" was the only thing I heard then I heard her drop the phone. "What do you want Twilight?" I asked annoyed. "Upside down" I said. "Oops, sorry" said Twilight on the other end. "I was just checking to see if it worked" she said. "Ok, now here's another lesson for your phone, you see the green button on your screen to the right, thats to answer a call" I said. "Uh, huh" said Twilight. "Ok, you see that red button in the screen on the left, that is to end the call" I said while hanging up. Moments later the bus arrived. I checked my wallet and it was filled with cash, cash I didn't know I had, there had to be $60,000 in it maybe more. I took out a twenty as I got on the bus. I payed the fare charge and took my seat. There were a couple weirdos across from me, but that is to be expected when you ride a bus. One guy was wearing pants, just pants nothing else, I was glad it wasn't just a shirt. That thought made me cringe. I happily got off the bus near a bank. I walked in and opened up an account and set it up so it would gather interest over time. I deposited at least $70,000, yet I still had more, so I decided to keep the rest in my wallet. Not sure where it all came from so I decided it must be like how I never run out of knives, grenades, and bullets, weird cartoon magic. The bank gave me a credit card and I sighed a few documents, then they left me on my way. If I saved up I was going to make filthy rich look like a hobo. I walked out of the bank and walked to another bus stop. Soon enough the bus arrived, luckily it was a different bus, so no shirtless guy. I got on, payed the fare and got to my seat, then I looked over and saw a fat dude in a tiny bikini, which made me cringe even more than last time. The bus stopped near a car dealership. But I wasn't going to buy a car, I wanted a motorcycle. I made a cheshire grin as I saw my target. it was a jet black Triumph Tiger 800 XCx, it was gorgeous, I had to have it. I walked over to it and stared at it. Then like a normal shark tracking its prey it struck. "Hello sir, are you here to buy" asked one of the dealers. I knew their game, luckily I knew how to win it. I decided to play dumb. "Uuummm, I dunno, doesn't look worth the effort" I said trying my hardest not to seem interested. "Well, how about a test drive, maybe that might convince you?" He asked taking my bait. "Hmm, alright why not" I said keeping up the facade of disinterest. "Excellent I'll go get the key" he said walking away. I just stared at the bike with a blank look, but on the inside, I was smiling ear to ear. Moments later, the guy came back and started a whole Spiel about how great it was. Which I already knew. I just kept a blank look on my face until he finished. "So sir would you like to ride?" He asked. "Yeah sure, whatever" I said with my blank look. "Wonderful" Exclaimed the dealer as I got on. He left and came back with a pair of helmets. He put his on and a gave him a look that chilled him to his core, which made him put the other helmet down. I put my goggles down to my eyes and started up the motorcycle. The dealer got on behind me and I put his arms around my waist. "You might wanna hold on tight, in the right hands this thing can zoom!" I said. I put on the Bluetooth and picked a song. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=igvP806798U He held on tighter. We roared out of the dealer ship and rode all over town, a few police started chasing us so I went into full on commando mode, I took a sharp turn to the right. I turned left into an alleyway. I rode out of the alley and to the next street. I decided that would be enough excitement for the dealer for one day, because he was squeezing my waist with a vice grip. I rode back to the dealership and parked the bike out front. I was about to get off but the dealer was frozen from fear. "You can let go now, test drive is over" I said not trying to hide my annoyance. He let go and slowly got off. I got off as well. "It rides pretty good, I'll take it" I said to the dealer. "Great" he said before turning around and fainting. I brought my goggles up, looked at the dealer and chuckled. "Hey this guy feinted, oh and wet himself, can anyone else help me here?" I said aloud. A few guys came over and carried the guy away. "Alright sir, you ready to buy" said another dealer. "Sure, why not" I said. "Excellent, come with me please" he said leading me into an office. I signed a few things and payed with cash. I shook his hand he gave me the keys, and I left his office. I got on my new motorcycle and rode towards the school. It was nighttime when I arrived so I parked it and got off. I walked into the school and made my way to the library cuz that's where I knew Twilight would be. And I would know that even if I didn't know the future. I found where she was sleeping and I couldn't wake her so I just went to the wall opposite to where she was. I got down to sit with my back to the shelves. I got comfortable and went to sleep. The next morning I woke up before Twilight. I had the most evil thought pop up in my brain. I took out my phone and began searching for reveille. I found it and turned my volume to the max. And played the music. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K4az7reiG7M As soon as the music started blasting, Twilight and Spike woke up fast. "ON YOUR FEET YOU MAGGOTS" I yelled in my best drill sergeant impression. They both stood at attention which made me laugh super hard. "BA HAHAHAHA, priceless" I laughed. "Mamoru, what the hey?" Asked Twilight. "Its time to wake up you two!" I said. I got up and stretched. "Why did you have to wake us up like that?" asked Spike. "Oh, I didn't have to, I just wanted to see the looks on your faces when I played reveille very loud while you were asleep" I said with an evil grin. "You have issues dude" Said Spike. "Yup, now come on we got stuff to do" I said. Twilight got ahead of me and started talking with spike. I just tuned them out. As we were walking through the hall students started laughing at Twilight. Then this world's Rarity pulls Twilight into a classroom. I walked over to the other door and walked in to see Twilight wearing a different outfit. I closed the door behind me. "Green is definitely not your color" I said making Rarity look in my direction. "Who are you, this is private" said Rarity. "I'm her bodyguard as far as you are concerned" I said crossing my arms. Then in came Applejack. "There you are Twilight" said Applejack. "So much for the disguise" said Rarity with a grumpy pout. "I've been lookin' all over for ya" said Applejack while walking in. "Me too" said Fluttershy. "Me three" said Pinkie popping up upside down in the doorframe. "I like your new look" said Pinkie. "I do have an eye for these sorts of things, not that you seem to care" replies Rarity. "What!?!" Said Pinkie. "Why do you think she doesn't care" asked Twilight getting a few negative gestures from Applejack. Pinkie was getting steamed, I'm pretty sure I can actually hear steam whistling. "Oh never mind, why were you all looking for me? What's going on?" Asked Twilight. "Oh she hasn't seen it yet" said Fluttershy. "Seen what?" Asked Twilight still confused. "You are not going to like it" I said announcing my presence. They all looked at me in surprise. I just raised an eyebrow. "Ooooh, Who are you?" Asked Pinkie. "Mamoru Shinigami, most call me The Dark One, I'm friends with Twilight, I came here with her, my motorcycle's out front" I said gesturing with my thumb. "Continue, pretend like I'm not here" I said. Pinkie placed down her laptop and incriminating images of Twilight were showing. "Mud-flinging, oldest political tactic there is" I said making them all look at me. I just looked at them and backed up to the wall. "Has everyone at the school seen this? Is that why they were all looking at me that way?" Said Twilight looking embarrassed and sinking into her chair. "What am I going to do?" said Twilight. "I'll tell you what your gonna do, you are going to win them over by doing your best" I said. "I'll vote for you, you were so nice to me when sunset shimmer was picking on me the other day" said Fluttershy. "If you still wanna run, maybe there's something I can do to help" said Pinkie. "Word of advice don't accept her help, she doesn't take anything seriously" said Fluttershy."uh, why do you have to be so awful to me" said Pinkie. "Don't play innocent Pinkie Pie, you are no better than she is" said Rarity. "And what is that supposed to mean?" Asked Pinkie. "I am happy to offer my assistance as well, to someone who would appreciate what I have to offer" Yelled Rarity getting in Pinkies face. They all started arguing. I got angry and my right eye twitched. "Enough" I said knocking them all down with a shockwave. "Woah, I didn't think I could do that here, anyway Twilight you explain their situation" I said. "Let me show you something, you were friends once" said Twilight pulling out a yearbook. "The freshman fair, y'all remember?" Asked Applejack. "Yes" they all said. "But something happened, I think that something was sunset shimmer" said Twilight. "Theres no doubt about it that sunset shimmer set you all up and pitting you against each other, it does kinda fit her MO" I said. "Well its a nice theory darling, but sunset shimmer had nothing to do with it" said Rarity. "She's right, sunset shimmer isn't the one that ruined my silent auction for the animal shelter by bringing fireworks and noisemakers, huh, it was supposed to be a serious event and Pinkie Pie ruined it" said Fluttershy. "What are you talking about? I got a text from you saying you didn't want a silent auction, you wanted a big party" said Pinkie checking her phone. "I never sent you a text" said Fluttershy. "You didn't" said Pinkie confused. "I'm gonna go wait for you all to settle this cuz right now I'm apparently invisible" I said walking out. I decided to walk to the soccer field. I found Rainbow Dash practicing. I walked onto the bleachers and took a seat. Later the girls came and talked things out. I just zoned out and didn't hear a word they were saying. So I got up and went to my motorcycle. I did a little inspection and hopped on revved it up and rode off. I arrived at the Sugarcube Corner of this world. I ordered a vanilla milkshake and fries. Then I got my food and took a seat at a table. Then in came the girls. I took a fry and dipped it int my shake. Don't be like that I know you do it too. I didn't listen to anything they said, but they talked for hours. Eventually they finished talking and left. I decided to leave too, I needed to rent a tux. ---later--- I had my tux. Then I rode off to the school. I walked inside and found that the party was getting ready. So I helped with streamers, and balloons. Soon it was party time. I was having a wonderful time. Then of course sunset shimmer had to ruin it by stealing Spike. I made it through the school and saw sunset shimmer by the portal with a sledgehammer. "Uh oh" I said to myself. "That's close enough" said sunset shimmer. We all know what's going to happen so I'm gonna skip ahead a bit. ---------- They all played a game of keep away with the crown while I made popcorn and watched and enjoyed the show. "Ok now its time for me to help out" I said when Sunset Shimmer got the crown. I ran over to Twilight. "This is not good" I said. "Finally, at last, more power than I could ever imagine" said Sunset Shimmer as she put on the crown. It sparked dark magic and changed her into an evil she-demon. She laughed maniacally and turned snips and snails into demons as well. I began to feel a great power within me, coming from a very dark place, and I liked it, I let it fester and boil inside, but I'm not going to use it just yet, so I'm just going to push it down and let it build. I'm not going to release my ace in the hole just yet. "I've had to jump through so many hoops just to get my hands on this crown, and it really should have been mine all along, but let's let bygones be bygones, I am your Princess now, and you will be loyal to me!" Said Sunset Shimmer while ripping out the wall of the school. She flew in and turned all the students into brainwashed zombies. "Round them up and bring them to the portal" said Sunset ordering snips and snails. "Spoiler alert, I was bluffing when I said I was going to destroy the portal, I don't want to rule this pathetic little high school, I want Equestria, and with my own teenage army behind me I'm going to get it" said Sunset. "No your not" said Twilight trying to be a hero. "Oh please, what exactly do you think your going to do to stop me? I have magic and you have nothing!" Said Sunset as her hair burst into flames. "She has us" said Rainbow. "And she has me" I said drawing my katanas. Twilight smiled and Sunset growled. We all gathered together with Twilight to hold the line. "Hahaha, gee the gang really is all back together again, now step aside, Twilight has tried to interfere with my plans one to many times already, she must be dealt with" said Sunset making a ball of magic to throw at Twilight. We all gather around Twilight to protect her. "Hahaha.... what?" Sunset says in surprise. We were all ok. "The magic contained in my element was able to Unite with those who helped create it" said Twilight. The magic in the element began to transform Twilight and her friends and I began to unleash my full power. Twilight named the elements and I joined in with my own. "Darkness, chaos, fear" I said turning into my monstrous form for the first time. "Together with the crown, they create a power beyond anything you could imagine, but it is a power you don't have the ability to control, the crown may be above your head Sunset Shimmer but you cannot weild, because you do not possess the most powerful magic of all, the magic of friendship!" Said Twilight as her friends and I formed a heart around her and hit her with the full force of our magic. In the form of Rainbow lasers. "Here and in Equestria it is the magic that can truly unite us all" said Twilight. Then all the damage done was fixed Sunset, snips and snails were changed back to normal, and the students were freed. We all woke up a little later. I changed my form back to to normal. Sunset was in a huge crater. "You will never rule in Equestria, any power you may have had in this world is gone, tonight You've shown everyone who you really are, you have shone them what is in your heart" said Twilight gesturing to the crowd. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't know there was another way" said Sunset crying. "The magic of friendship isn't just in Equestria, its everywhere" said Twilight. "Its in every one" I said. "You can seek it out, or you can forever be alone the choice is yours" said Twilight. Sunset crawled out of the crater. "But all I've ever done being here is drive them apart, I don't know the first thing about friendship" said Sunset still crying. Twilight pulled Sunset up. "I bet the can teach you" said Twilight gesturing to her friends. After that I jumped to the roof. Since I had my power, might as well use it. I watched them mingle a bit, then they all went inside, and I followed. Right about now I'm sure I'd be hearing the song this is our big night. And I actually heard it. I saw Twilight dancing like a pony, and flash sentry joined her. I did the shuffle. Then I free-styled a bit. Twilight was going to do a photo with her friends.... which I photobombed. Then it was time to leave. Twilight said her goodbyes. And Twilight seemed to have forgotten I was here. Twilight went through the portal and her friends went back to normal. I ran to the portal, as did Pinkie. "Oh, Bummer" said Pinkie. I got up and fell to my knees. "No, no, no, no, DANG IT TWILIGHT, YOU LEFT ME BEHIND!" I said throwing my fists in the air. "Mamoru why are you still here" asked Pinkie. I just froze and got up slowly and turned around, they all seemed startled. I looked to each of them. I took out a compact mirror, yes I have a compact mirror get over it, I looked at my eyes. They were back to being black scera and green irises. I put the mirror away. "Well at least my eyes are back to normal" I said putting my goggles down. "Normal? They are all black where white should be" said Rainbow Dash. "That's how they looked in Equestria, I look exactly the same in Equestria as I do here, it wasn't a huge transition for me like it was for Twilight" I said. "It seems that with the element coming into this world, maybe it has a little bit of magic in it now" I said while stroking my chin. "And since I'm here, I can finally be around other human beings" I said. "I'm gonna go help Sunset Shimmer with the repairs" I said walking away. I approached Sunset Shimmer. "Need a hand" I asked. She looked at me. I could tell she was feeling guilty. I grabbed a cement trowel and put down cement and grabbed a brick and laid it down. "It gets better you know" I said to her. "What?" She asked. "This feeling you have right now, I've felt it, it gets better" I said making her smile. "So she is still able to smile how bout that" I said returning the smile. "Thank you" she said. "You're welcome" I said. I laid down another bit of cement and another brick. "What's your name?" Asked Sunset. "Mamoru Shinigami, most call me The Dark One" I said. "Who calls you that" asked Sunset. "No one just me, Just say it to try to unnerve the ponies" I said. "Does that work" asked Sunset. I put down a few more bricks and cement. "Not all the time, but I try to make myself sound dark and Mysterious, you know, try to seem charming" I said. "That sounds kind of cheesy" said Sunset. I lifted my goggles and looked up to her. "I suppose, but these eyes seem to have the desired effect" I said. "Creepy" She said. "Is that normal for you?" She asked while helping me by laying down another brick. "Pretty much, yeah" I said. "I kind of like your eyes, they seem cool" said Sunset Shimmer making me look at her and smile. "Let's hurry and finish this up and maybe we can get dinner later" I said. "Sure, I'd like that" she said with a smile, which I returned. > Chapter sixteen > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh, shit, I just realized I gave Twilight a cell phone" I said excitedly. I took out my phone and speed dialed Twilight. The phone was ringing. "Hey is she answering?" Asked Sunset. "Not yet" I said with impatience. Twilight answered. "Uh, hello?" Said Twilight. I put it on speaker. "Hey Twilight you see that button on your screen that has an image of a speaker, push it" I said. "Ok if its little louder that means you are on speaker phone, is everypony with you?" I said. "Yes, why" she asked confused. "Great, hey everypony guess where I am!" I said. "Are you somewhere in the castle?" Asked Twilight. "Nope I'm still at CHS, YOU LEFT ME BEHIND!" I yelled. There was no answer. "I know a spell that might be able to bring me back, but its a long shot, so I don't know what exactly will happen, with my luck probably nothing, I'll call you later" I said hanging up. "Do you really know a spell that could bring you back" asked Applejack startling me. "Gah! Don't sneak up on me like that!" I said. "We, were here the whole time darling" said Rarity. I just deadpanned and swung my neck to look at her. "Anyone have a bicycle bell?" I asked. Pinkie rummaged through her hair. "Here you go" said Pinkie pulling out a bell. "Thanks" I said. I walked over to my Motorcycle and attached the bell. I took the top off of the bell and walked to a table and placed the bell-top on it. I took a seat and placed my hands a few inches above the bell-top. They all gathered around me. "What are you doin" asked Applejack looking at me like I was crazy, and if this doesn't work she might be right. "I'm going to cast a traveling spell on the bell-top, I got it from a movie called bedknobs and broomsticks, probably won't work but I have to try" I said. I put my goggles up and closed my eyes. I focused myself and took in a deep breath then let it out slowly. I opened my eyes and began the spell. "Hellebore henbane aconite glowworm fire and firefly light!" I said, and the bell-top glowed red. I twisted it a quarter turn to the left and it went out. "Did it work?" asked Fluttershy. I picked it up. "Only one way to find out" I said with a serious look on my face. I walked over and put the bell back together and got on my motorcycle. "Please work" I said. I took a deep breath and turned the bike on. "Take me to Camp Everfree" I said and tapped it three times and turned it a quarter to the left. The bike started sparking and then I was off. Insert the traveling music from bedknobs and broomsticks. I shortly arrived at Camp Everfree. "It worked, yes" I said with a fist pump. I rode my motorcycle out and headed for CHS. It took me a while but I arrived. I saw the girls waiting in front. Then they saw me. I stopped in front of them. "It works, it actually worked!" I said excited. They all cheered. "Take me to Ponyville" I said and tapped the bell three times and quarter turned it to the left. I showed up in the middle of Ponyville. "Sweet, I can go anywhere, take me to CHS" I said and did the required ritual. I showed up back at CHS. "Miss me" I said surprising them. "I thought you were going back to home, darling" said Rarity. "With this travel spell I have a way to get back, but I'm not really interested in going back home just yet, this world is so much like where I originally came from, so I think I'm going to stick around" I said. I turned my bike off and walked over to Sunset Shimmer. "Hey, any chance you have enough room for a guest at your place?" I asked. "Um, sure, why not" said Sunset with a smile. ---Later at Sunset Shimmer's apartment--- Me and Sunset walked into her apartment. I looked around, it was a little messy. "Well it isn't the Burj Al Arab, but after a bit of time cleaning, it might seem less like a dumpster fire in the middle of a junkyard filled with porta-potties" I said looking around. "Gee, so glad you like it" said Sunset with a frown. "Normally when a girl brings a guy home, the place looks like a girl lives there, this looks like you aren't doing well with your rent, and had to have a dumpster hobo as a roommate" I said. "Are you done yet" asked Sunset. "Can I do one more please?" I asked. "No" she replied. "Got a place where I can sleep or do I just share a bed with you?" I asked making her blush. "You know what, we'll figure something out, but first..." I began while putting my goggles over my eyes. "I need to clean this place up, before I see one of your dirty socks crawl away" I said. Getting ready. I put on some music. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wivnGbwui-s I used my super speed to go all over her apartment. I got cleaning supplies and began to purge the entire place of filth. I collected all the trash and put it in the dumpster downstairs in the parking lot. I dusted, I scrubbed. I split into more of me, and gave each one a task. We made the bed, cleaned the floor, washed the windows, and organized the movies, did the laundry. Sunset watched all if me with shock. It was a few minutes later and we finally finished cleaning. "Attention!" I said to my other me's. "Status report" I said like a drill sergeant. "Every corner of the Apartment is clean sir!" They said in unison. "Windows, floors, beds, shelves, clothes, walls, electronics, kitchen?" I asked still in drill sergeant mode. "SIR YES SIR!" They said in unison while saluting. "GOOD, RETURN TO HOST!" I Yelled. "SIR YES SIR" they said gathering around me and merging back into me. I looked over to Sunset and she looked back and fainted. I went and caught her, I took off her boots and jacket and put her in her bed. I went to the living room and checked for a mattress in the couch. Luckily there was, so I pulled it out and set it up. I got out of my coat, and put it on the armrest, then proceeded to take off my boots and put them at the foot of the bed. I took off my weapons and ammo and wrapped them in my coat and placed it back on the armrest. I got in the bed got onto my right side, got comfortable and went to sleep. > Chapter seventeen > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning was even better. I got my gear back on and I checked in on Sunset Shimmer and saw she was still sleeping. So I decided to go out for a ride. I went down the stairs and got to my motorcycle. I hopped on, and started up the engine. I pulled my legs up and rode off. I found a motorcycle repair shop on my little ride, so I decided to check it out. My motorcycle needed some modifications, so I bought some parts. I had the mechanics give it a full overhaul. I gave it all the accessories and best of all NOZ. I even got a license plate that said D4RK1. After that I left and made a few parts with my magic, Plus a few upgrades that would allow it to run on my magic instead of gas, now it is even more awesome. I rode my motorcycle to a fast food restaurant and got some breakfast for me and Sunset. Then I rode back to the apartment. I walked up the steps and forgot I didn't have a key, so I turned into my shadow form and slid under the door. I got to the kitchen table and put the food on a plate for Sunset Shimmer. I went into her room with a tray. She was still asleep, she looked so peaceful. I didn't like it. I snapped my fingers as quietly as I could and made a bugle. I pressed my lips tight put them on the bugle. I breathed in with my nose and blew reveille loudly. She woke up with a start. "Rise and shine roomie, time for breakfast" I said placing the tray in front of her. "Oh, I thought you were all a dream" she said. "No, I'm more of a nightmare, hurry and eat up you have school today" I said. "Wait, how are you able to use magic?" Asked Sunset. "No, idea, my best guess would be because you brought an element of harmony into this world and activated it, which brought Equestrian magic into this world and weakened the barrier between the two worlds, causing an unforeseen chain of events, that allows magic to flow into this world, but like I said, just a guess" I said making her stare. Sunset got ready for school and We got downstairs and she saw my motorcycle. "Woah, what did you do to your motorcycle?" She said in awe. "I went out earlier this morning and gave it a few upgrades. "It looks nice" said Sunset. I put my goggles on as we hopped on. We rode to CHS. I dropped her off at school. "Bye, see you later" I said. Sunset turned and looked at me. "Wait, I thought you were going to school here now" she said confused. "Nah, I graduated high school a long time ago, I have other things to do" I said while riding off. "Time to make a name for myself" I said to myself. I rode onto the highway and pulled to the side. I went onto the worlds dark web and made myself a hitman profile. A few minutes later I got a new notification. I had a job opportunity, so I rode to the address to accept the job. I made it there in a few hours. I looked around and a limo with tinted windows pulled up. I turned my engine off and Stood beside my motorcycle. I waited for those inside to come out. The door opened and a few men came out. "I assume you are The Dark One?" Asked Who seemed to be their boss. They all looked like a bunch of mobsters. "Who wants to know?" I asked. "I wanna know" he said. "Yeah I might be, what you want" I said. He tossed me a picture. "I want him gone" he said. "Anything specific you want done?" I asked. "Make it a mess" he said. I smiled my cheshire grin with sharp teeth, which unnerved him and his men. "How much is it worth" I said. "$2 million" he said with a frown. "Pricey, consider it done" I said grinning again. I got on my bike and looked at my target. "Hmm" I said. ---later--- It turned out my target was a crooked casino owner, which I had no problems with. He bled people dry and tossed them into the streets. Despicable, lucky for him I play dirty too. The casino was in a city. The owner lived in the penthouse. I got to a building next to it and went to the roof for recon. Multiple ways in, few guards, this was gonna be way too easy. I waited for nighttime. I snapped my fingers and had a card with the name The Dark One, it had my eyes and my cheshire grin filled with teeth. I jumped off the roof and ghosted one of the guards by snapping his neck from behind. Then I put a card in his pocket. Then tossed his body off the roof. I threw knives at one and left a card. I took out each guard silently and left a card behind. Then I took the keys from one guard and opened a door inside. I walked into a bedroom. I heard a crash. I looked to where the crash was. It was a maid. I reached her in less than a second. I covered her mouth and put my finger to my lips to shush her. "Keep quiet and you keep your life" I whispered in her ear. She nodded with tears in her eyes. I knocked her out and left her on the bed tied up. I made my way to the office and became a shadow and slipped underneath the door and continued until I was behind the owner, I shifted back to normal and silently drew a katana and put it to his neck. He was startled. He didn't dare move. "Please don't kill me, I'll give you anything" he begged. "I don't want your filthy money" I said. Then I drove my other sword through his back and it was poking out of his chest, then I pulled it out. I left a card on his desk and teleported to my bike. I got on and rode off. I called my client and told him the job was done. "Already, you work fast, boy, I'll send your payment into your account right away" he said and hung up. I checked my account and sure enough I got $2 million dollars added. I smiled and rode to CHS. ---later--- "Hey Sunset, sorry if I was a little late" I said. She got on and held on to me. "Bad day?" I asked. She nodded. "Ok, where do you wanna go, we are getting dinner and you get to decide where, and it can be literally anywhere" I said. She didn't respond. "Most expensive restaurant in town it is then" I said as we rode off. > Chapter eighteen Rainbow Rocks special > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- its been a while since then now I am this worlds most wanted man, however I am still able to remain a ghost to them. I'm the best Assassin in the world, able to strike out of nowhere and disappear without a trace. like I said before I now make filthy rich seem like a hobo. By now Tirek has been defeated and Twilight has a castle now, but now its time for the sirens to arrive at CHS. Hopefully I don't screw anything up. My alarm went off in the morning. I kept trying to turn it off but couldn't reach. Until I realized that I didn't have one. I opened my eyes and saw Sunset with her phone. She was smiling while I was not. "Very funny" I said getting up. "Not so funny now, when it's you is it?" Said Sunset. "I'm going to be joining you for school today, I have a feeling something will be off" I said. "We are preparing for the talent show, what could be off" she asked as I put all my gear on. "My feelings have been right about a lot" I said. I went to the closet and opened the door, then opened a secret compartment to the right. Inside were a pair of Mossberg 590 Shockwave 6-Shot Shotgun and AR-15 assault rifles. I put both shotguns in holsters in the back of my belt. Then I get a bullet pouch and hook it to my belt. I grabbed the AR-15s and put them on my back under my coat with butt of the guns by my shoulders. I had made a special mount in the coat on my back so they would fit and not be noticed. I got the magazines for the rifles an put them into their own pocket on my belt. I grabbed a few flash grenades and put them next to the rest, which I found out if I add ammo to the utility belt I never run out unless I unhook their pocket. I got a few EMP grenades and a few hornets nest grenades. I also got a slab of C-4 and a detonator, and remote, all for good measure. Now that the compartment was empty I closed it up. "Do you really need all that?" Asked Sunset with an eyebrow raising. "Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it" I said making her roll her eyes. "Come on lets get going" said Sunset. We left the apartment and headed to my motorcycle. We got on and rode to CHS. When we arrived, I parked my bike and went into the school. "Hey, Sunset, and Mamoru?" Said Rainbow Dash. "Sup" I said. "What are you doing here darling?" Asked Rarity. "He thinks he needs to be here because he had a feeling" she said crossing her arms. "It's not any different to how Pinkie is able to do the same" I said pointing at Pinkie. "Whatever lets just get to the auditorium so Sunset can feel rejected and unwanted by everyone but us six" I said making them all do a double take. "What?" They all said in shock. ---Later--- As I said before rejected and unwanted. Sunset walked over to us while everyone in the room talked about her. "Ugh, I had no idea the whole school would be here" said Sunset. "I did and didn't tell you" I said helping the girls with the poster. "Why?" Asked AJ. "Revenge for thinking my feelings about today would be wrong" I said with a cheshire grin. "You can't prove you're right" said Sunset. "And YOU can't prove I'm WRONG" I said with a grin. Rarity and Pinkie picked up the poster. "Quite the advertisement if I do say so myself" said Rarity feeling proud of herself. "And it smells like cake" said Pinkie. "It does?" Asked Fluttershy. Pinkie brought the poster to Fluttershy to smell. Pinkie shoved it into Fluttershy's face. "I used frosting instead of paste" said Pinkie. "Uh, Fluttershy, you got a little somethin' uh" said AJ pointing at her nose. Fluttershy wiped her eye. "Did I get it?" Asked Fluttershy. "Huh, not exactly" said AJ. Sunset got out a tissue and wiped Fluttershy's nose. I decided to leave the room and go up to the roof. Later on I decided to check on the girls. They were playing in their room. I changed into a shadow and went in through the vent. It wasn't long before I found the room. They were just finishing up on their song when I came in and went from the wall and walked off from it as if it wasn't there. "Nice music girls" I said. They all were ponied up. "I still can't believe that happens when we play" said Rarity. Rarity began babbling about accessories."I just wonder why It happens, Princess Twilight took her crown back to Equestria, shouldn't that mean she brought all that magic back with her?" asked Applejack. "Not necessarily, Twilight is in Equestria, yet I have magic, so that means that when the crown was brought here and USED, that allowed Equestrian magic to flow into this world, and could be the reason you all change" I said everyone looked at me. "Ok how about we talk about the music" I said. "Who cares why it happens, it makes my band totally awesome" said Rainbow Dash. "Uh, your band?" Questioned Rarity. "Whatever, the band sucks" I said making them all look at me. "And what may I ask is wrong with it!" asked Applejack. "Oh nothing much, but it's missing something" I said making them look to each other. "What could it possibly be missing?" asked Rarity. "It needs a bit more vocals, male vocals, to get the low notes" I said. "Yeah right, like you could actually try" taunted Rainbow. I just smiled and snapped my fingers on my left hand and aired a guitar. Then the shadows in the room flew to me and turned into an ethereal shadowy electric guitar in my hands, small wisps coming off it. Then I did an epic guitar riff. "Ok so you can play guitar big deal, I'd like to see you sing" said Rainbow putting her foot in her mouth. I just smirked and stood on their little stage. "Pinkie, Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity, Fluttershy, try to keep up" I said. "Sunset ask me what I want" I said. "Ok, what do you want?" She asked. "Say it loud" I said. "WHAT DO YOU WANT" she yelled. "I WANNA ROCK!" I Yelled loud with my super-powered voice, and struck all the strings sending out a shockwave. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qaF0ov1uPzU During the song, I did a few jumps. A few little dance moves and used a bit of my electric powers. Unfortunately after jumping around and using my powers I broke a ceiling light and it fell on my head. I woke up a couple hours later, after they defeated the dazzlings. I know it sucks. But now that I'm awake I can go back to Equestria. > Chapter nineteen > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Me and the girls were in front of the school. "Come on Mamoru, you have got to have a concussion after that, why do you have to go?" Asked Sunset with tears in her eyes. "I have to go because I'm needed there, besides I'm gonna be able to come back and visit" I said hopping onto my motorcycle. "Twilight has no idea what's coming, I need to be there" I said putting my goggles up and looking at Sunset Shimmer. "I promise I will try to be careful, girls look after her for me" I said looking at the EG mane 5. "Of course darling" said Rarity. I put my goggles over my eyes and revved up my engine. "Hey dude, I don't think you have enough road" said Rainbow. "Where I'm going I won't need roads" I said. They all cleared away from my motorcycle as I rode off and used my magic to take the motorcycle into the sky. I turned back around and said "take me to Ponyville" and tapped my bell three times, and a quarter turn to the left. The front of my motorcycle started sparking. And I vanished from existence, leaving a flaming tire track in the sky. ---Later in Ponyville--- Sparks broke out in the sky as a strange object appeared out of nowhere all the ponies looked up at the terrifying sight. The thing appeared to be some kind of vehicle, and it had a rider whom seemed very familiar. The thing came down from the sky and went off to Princess Twilight's new castle. ---Mamoru POV--- As I rode my bike through town, I saw each pony was looking on in fear. I didn't let it get to me as I rode towards the large fucking castle that was very hard to miss. I pulled over in front of the castle. I took in a deep breath. "Feels Good to be back" I said with a cheshire grin. I gave a little chuckle and shut off my engine. I dismounted from my bike and went to the castle door. I began banging the double doors like a madman. "Hello! Anypony home!" I Said as I kept banging on the doors. My arms began striking air as the doors opened to reveal a very grumpy Spike. "Spike! hey, how you doing, did you miss me!" I said before passing out. ---third person POV--- Mamoru had just passed out on the floor. Twilight came to see what the commotion was about. "Hey, Spike who was that....." Twilight began before she saw Mamoru passed out in the doorway. "Mamoru? How did he get here?" Twilight asked spike. "I don't know, but could you give my some help?" Said Spike struggling not to be crushed by Mamoru. "Oh, right" said Twilight with a blush. Twilight used her magic to pick Mamoru up and brought him inside. "Hey Twilight what is that?" Spike said pointing at Mamoru's bike. "It looks kind of like a bike, Mamoru must have rode it here" Twilight reasoned. "But how could he get here by not using the mirror?" asked Spike. Twilight brought in the bike with her magic and left it beside the doors. She then proceeded to close the doors. "Lets get Mamoru into a bed, his magic seems faint, he must have used a lot of magic to get here" said Twilight. As soon as Twilight got Mamoru's gear, coat and shoes off she put him ina bed in one of the many guest rooms. As soon as Mamoru was tucked in he shot up. "Aaah, that Pineapple isn't wearing underwear!" Yelled Mamoru in his sleep, startling and confusing both Twilight and Spike. Then he flopped right back down. "What kind of dreams is he having?" said Spike. "He definitely seems the same as when we last had him" said Twilight remembering her old library. "Lets let him rest, I don't think we wanna be here for the next outburst" said Spike. They both left the room and closed the doors and headed to the throne room. "So who was at the door darling?" Asked Rarity. Twilight got to her throne and sat down. "It was Mamoru, he's back" said Twilight. "What!?!" They all said. "How the only way to get from Equestria to CHS and back is through the mirror, right?" Said Rainbow Dash unsure. "Let's throw him a welcome home party" said Pinkie jumping up and down. "He's resting, He apparently used up a lot of magic to get here" said Twilight. "Yeah he passed out after knocking the door and asking if I missed him" Said Spike. "Did he say anything else?" Asked Fluttershy. "Nope but he did ride here on a weird bike" said Spike. "What's so weird about a bike?" Asked Applejack. ---Front Door hall--- They all looked at the bike in awe. "Oh, that kind of weird" said Applejack. "I think it looks AWESOME!" said Rainbow Dash throwing her hooves up. "You think so" said a voice from behind. The mane 6 all turned around slowly, and right there in the hall was Mamoru without his goggles, coat, gear, and shoes. "I worked on the modifications myself, It used to run on fossil fuels, but now it can run on magic, which can be kind of draining, so I usually use fossil fuels to get around, but I used magic in order to make it fly here, so I passed out, so it's gonna be a while before I can use my magic again" said Mamoru seeming a little off balanced. "How did you fly it here? that would have made you out cold for weeks" said Twilight. Mamoru made his way over to his bike and walked it into the middle of the room. "Do you see this bell right here on the right mirror here? Well this is no ordinary bell, it has a spell on it that allows the owner to go anywhere they want, all they have to do is say the name of a person, er, nope sticking with person, or place, and tap it three times, then a quarter turn to the left, then zip, they are on their way in a matter of minutes" said Mamoru while showing how it all worked. "I've never heard of that spell" said Twilight confused. "You wouldn't, it doesn't exist in Equestria, I got the idea from a movie, I was super surprised that it even worked" said Mamoru with a smile and rubbing the back of his head. "Wait, you got a powerful spell like that from a movie?" Asked Twilight in disbelief. But she never got an answer because just as she finished, Mamoru fell over and passed out again. "I guess, all that did a number on him, hehe" said Applejack. Twilight brought Mamoru back to his room and put him back in bed. Mamoru shot up again. "THIS WORLD IS A TV SHOW FOR SIX YEAR OLD GIRLS AND I'VE SEEN EVERY EPISODE!!!" Shouted Mamoru quickly then he flopped right back down. "What was that about!?!" Asked Rainbow. Everypony looked to Mamoru then left the room slowly and closed the door. "There ae a lot of things wrong with that guy" said Spike, earning nods from everypony. They all laughed and left from Mamoru's door so as not to hear another strange outburst. > Chapter twenty > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I woke up the next day and found I was completely alone in Twilight's castle. Well...... I would be if Spike wasn't here. Lets see what today's events will bring. I decided to leave my gear off for the day and decided to see what Spike was doing. "Hey Spike, whats up?" I asked. "Whu, hey Mamoru, you're up" said Spike. "Yup, where is everypony?" I asked. He pointed at the map. "This map just showed up this morning, and it sent them all to a town" he said. "This town" I said pointing to starlight's town. "Yeah, how'd you know?" He asked. "Don't tell a soul about what I'm about to tell you" I said in a serious tone. "Ooookaay" Spike said unsure. "That town is filled with ponies without cutie marks, I know this because I have been there, and their mayor is the one removing cutie marks, I didn't tell anyone or anypony about this because I needed to wait until the map finally popped up after Twilight got this castle" I said. "How did you know about the map and the castle?" He asked. I looked at him and slammed a hand on the map, spreading my dark magic into it. I reshaped the map to show a hologram of how I just arrived in Equestria, How I saw Ponyville, and how I went to Canterlot, then he kept watching. "What is all this?" He asked. I looked to him. "Spike this is the past as I know it, but this is how things were going to play out without me" I said showing spike a hologram of episode one, and I sped it up a lot, then showed every episode and Equestria girls movie up until now, where Twilight and her friends were right now. "This is all my memories up until now, I have more memories involving the future, but I can't show you cuz it will screw things up" I said ending the show with the mane six finishing their mission. "You know the future?" He asked. He took a few moments. "Ok, that explains so much!" He said surprising me. "So you know what's gonna happen after today" He asked. I simply nodded. "I can't tell you or show any more than what I already have, do you understand?" I ask. "Meh, I get it, you have a lot on your plate, oh, can you answer at least one question for me?" Asked Spike getting excited. "If it's about Rarity I will throw you off the roof" I said pointing up. "Never mind.......but could you answer this, though, how do you know the future?" He asked. "That I can answer, the world you know is actually a TV show in my world, a tv is like a smaller version of a movie theater screen, only smaller and fits in a living room, so families can watch the news or sports, cooking, and etc., anyway this world is all a show called My little pony: friendship is magic" I said as he listened intently, at the end I showed him the MLP logo in a cloud of shadows in my hand. He looked at it and then at me. "I know that this may be a lot to take in, but I've seen every adventure Twilight and her friends have and will go on, that's how I know the future" I said to him. He stared at me and after a while I waved my hand in front of him. "Hey, you still there?" I said waking him from his thoughts. "So, let me get this straight, this whole world is a show to you in your world?" He asked. I nodded. "So there are people watching us right now!?!" He said. "No, the audience is watching what Twilight and the rest are doing, the show usually only sticks with one plot, sometimes two, but mostly just one" I said. "Oh, but you will tell me when we're being watched right?" He asked. "Spike, everyone who watches the show knows that you pose in front of the bathroom mirror, sorry dude, but they've only seen you do it once, so yeah its safe to say that you're dignity is nonexistent" I said with a grin making him blush. "Well that sucks" he said crossing his arms and pouting. "Yeah it does, but at least you don't have to deal with knowing the future and trying not to screw shit up" I said making him smile. "I'm seriously thinking about leaving this world and going to another as soon as I reach the show's finale" I said. "Its not a bad ending is it?" He asked. I looked at him and smiled. "I personally didn't think it was satisfactory, that's just My opinion, but most enjoyed it" I said. "That doesn't really answer my question" said Spike. "I know, wanna go out and ride on the back of my motorcycle" I asked trying to change the subject. "Sure!" He said getting excited. We both went to my room for my gear. As I finished putting on my belt Spike pulled on my pant leg. "What is all that stuff?" Asked Spike. "I can show you what it all does later, after the bike ride" I said giving him a pat on the head. I put on my coat with the AR-15 assault Rifles hidden away. I got my goggles and put them on. We left my room and made out way to the main entrance and I got my bike from its spot and walked it out the door. I picked up spike and put him under my arm as got on. I turned on the engine and put spike between me and the handlebars. "Hold on tight" I said putting his claws on the bars. I got out my phone and hooked up the Bluetooth I installed in my coat. I scrolled through my songs and found the perfect one. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VUNU9mep9Lg As the music started I used my magic to put a hot wheels style track in front of us. I looked down at Spike and smiled like a maniac, giving him second thoughts. Then I went full speed onto the track. As we sped onto the track I kept creating more in front of us while The track behind us disappeared. I made the track take us up high then made it take a left. Spike was starting to scream. I began laughing maniacally. The track took us higher and higher to at least 300 feet in the air. Then it started going down which made spike scream louder. Before the track made us into a splat on the ground it made a few loop de loops. It went up again and made us do a few barrel rolls. It took us around Twilights castle in a spiral. I hit the NOZ and went off the track as soon as we were near ground. I drove us towards Ponyville, then took us through every street and alleyway. I took a shotgun out and shot down a sign and used it as a ramp sending us flying into the sky. Then the heartless bitch known as gravity kicks in, and we start coming down fast. Spike screaming all the way. Then I used my magic to make a new ramp that would catch us and turn us towards Twilight's castle. I just kept laughing maniacally, as ponies kept looking on and pointing. We made it to the ramp and I hit the NOZ again as it launched us towards the castle. We we flying through the air, Spike kept screaming and I was laughing maniacally again, I looked and saw we were about to break through the window. I quickly used my magic to open it just in time. We arrived in the throne room as the motorcycle skidded sideways to a halt. I turned off the engine and put my goggles up then looked down at Spike. "Hahaha, was that awesome or what!" I said still laughing. Spike said nothing and just passed out. "Drama queen" I said prying his claws off into the handlebars. I snapped my fingers to clean up the skid-marks and close the window. I put spike in his bed and walked my bike back to where I was keeping it. A few minutes later and the mane six walked through the doors. But I didn't want them to see me so I teleported back to my room and took my things off and got in bed. I secretly snapped my fingers making all Spikes chores done. I got comfy and went to sleep. > Chapter twenty-one > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is now that Twilight feels uncomfortable in her new castle, in other words it the episode: castle sweet castle. Right now I'm On my way to find Discord, but I don't know where that is, so I'm headed to Fluttershy's cottage to ask her to see if she knows where he lives. "FLUTTERSHY ARE YOU HOME?" I call out. I wait a few minutes. I wait two minutes. "Ok, I'm going to knock on the door and if you don't answer it I'm breaking it down!" I say. I knocked on the door once and immediately the door opens with Fluttershy standing timidly in the doorway. "W-w-what d-do you w-want?" She asks looking like she's about to faint. I kneel down to get on eye level and try to seem less threatening. "Hey, Fluttershy, I'm trying to find Discord but I don't know where he is, I wanted to put an idea of mine past him, and I can't find him" I said in a soft voice. She looks at me. 'I'm so glad I'm wearing my goggles, cuz I bet if I weren't she'd pass out because of my eyes' I thought. "Well, we are going to have a tea party, and you can join us if you want, but you don't have to, if that's ok" she said in her normal way. "A tea party sounds lovely" I say. 'I better be on my best behavior, I don't want to make her cry, faint, or freak out' I think to myself. "Alright come on in, he should be here in an hour or so" she said. I slowly stand up and walk into the small cottage. "Thank you" I say. She directs me to her couch. I gently take a seat and clasp my hands together and twiddle my thumbs. I look around and hum a tune while I wait for Discord to arrive. "So, Fluttershy I hear you like animals" I started so I can get the ball rolling. "Yes I do, do you like animals" she answered. "I like to pet soft things, and I love the fluffiest ones, but I also like reptiles too, I also like the more creepy animals like spiders and scorpions, although last night I had a nightmare that I was covered in scorpions, and they kept stinging me, anyway yes I like animals" I said somewhat making her uncomfortable. "I do have a spider friend would you like to see him?" Fluttershy asked. "Maybe some other time" I said. I couldn't help but notice that she still seems uncomfortable around me. I then begin to think of what form I could take to make her less afraid. Then it hits me. A cat. So I concentrated hard and turned into a small black cat. Fluttershy wasn't looking so she didn't know I changed. She turned her head and was surprised to find a cat sitting there on her couch. "Oh, hey there kitty, where did you come from" said Fluttershy. I said nothing, instead I made a blank look on my feline face. Then I slowly spun my head 360 degrees around. Once my head was back were it was Fluttershy just looked at me shocked. Then I puked a huge jet of black slime. The jet hit angel and the stream kept going for about 6 minutes before I stopped and coughed up a hairball. I then looked at Fluttershy and made my cat eyes turn into my eyes. "Sorry, I've been having stomach problems all day" I said. Fluttershy looked at me in realization. "Mamoru? Is that you?" She asked. "Yup, I turned into a cat since you were having trouble looking at me, and I knew you like animals, so I turned into a cat, to make you more comfortable" I said looking up at her. "That's nice of you, Mamoru, but you don't have to change yourself just for me" said Fluttershy. Before I could respond Discord popped in on the couch, startling me and making me meow and jump off and run around. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-UTd98iMBok I run back to the couch and look up at Discord with cat eyes. "What are you looking at whiskers!?!" Said Discord looking at me. I changed back to normal surprising him. "You tell me, you're the one who looks like one of Dr. Victor Frankenstein's failed projects" I say with a smirk. He just stares. "Ha, ha, very funny" said Discord with sarcasm. "Good, I was worried that would go right over your head" I said with a grin. "You want something, what is it?" Asked Discord looking at me suspiciously. "I just had a great idea that you might enjoy helping me with" I said. "Pass" he said quickly. "Now Discord, listen to what he has to say" said Fluttershy while giving Discord a stern look. "Fine!" Said Discord relenting. "What is your great idea?" Said Discord. "First we go somewhere a little more private, then we can talk" I said crossing my arms. "Fine, lets just get this over with" he said sounding deflated. Discord snapped his fingers with his eagle claw. Both me and Discord end up in his living room. I look around. "You really need to refer me to your decorator" I said making Discord roll his eyes. "Just tell me your idea, I have better things to do you know" said Discord. "No you don't, you just sit around all day and eat ice cream" I said with a smirk. "Who told you" he said grabbing me by the shoulders. "You did, just now, and I must say, that is just sad, anyway my idea is about Equestria's lack of media" I said with my signature sharp toothed cheshire grin. "What do you mean?" Asked Discord as he was getting interested. "Equestria has no television, they don't even have radios, the only news they have are newspapers, so I was thinking, if we magic up a bunch of TVs, set up a few towers here and there, put a few satellites in space, and dress up in suits, you and I could be anchormen, we would be able to let ponies know about the news live, on TV, we would be the center of attention for everypony!" I said holding my arms out to the ceiling in triumph. "Hmm" Discord said stoking his chin. "So you're in" I said in my cheshire grin. "Why not, I don't have much to do anyway" said Discord. "Most Excellent" I said in my best bill and ted impression, with clothes to match, and did an air guitar riff with a double of myself, then dismissed the double. "Ok, you work on the technical stuff, I'll get Rarity working on our suits, and come up with locations, weather reports and big events, agreed?" I said putting out my hand. "Agreed, this is going to be so fun!" Said Discord shaking my hand. "My thoughts exactly" I said with a grin. > Chapter twenty-two > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey everypony, back again with a new adventure. Me and Discord were finally able to get the whole TV network up and running, but I have a two of my clones working with Discord, one to work the cameras and the other as the co-anchor. Unfortunately it took us forever and we were so caught up in getting it to work, we buzzed through most of the season, now starlight is living in the castle with Twilight, Spike and me, only she doesn't know I exist, and most likely think I'm a bad guy. I just arrived back home from helping Discord with the EQUESTRIA NEWS NETWORK, or EqNN (Pun intended, sorry readers). It was late and everypony was asleep. I got inside and made my way to my room as quietly as possible for a guy who wears metal on the bottom of his shoes, which is very difficult, most of the time its like I'm tap dancing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7MYox9S7e8k The video might be a bit of an exaggeration but it comes pretty damn close. Anyway I finally make it to my room and close the door. I take my shoes off, then my guns, ammo, explosives, swords, and knives, am I missing anything........ nah I'm good. I take off my new black hooded jacket and floor length coat and everything else (Rarity made me a new jacket for me to wear under my coat). I take a shower and get into some pajamas that Rarity made for me, it had images of guns, swords, knives and explosives on it, I loved them so much I kissed Rarity on the lips, a very passionate kiss, it was weird for both of us after that. I smiled at my reflection of me in my pjs. I got into bed and fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow. ---The Next Morning--- I woke up refreshed and walked to the kitchen. I began to make myself some breakfast, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and toast with strawberry jam. I got my plate and took a seat. As I began eating, starlight walked into the kitchen and started making her own breakfast. It wasn't until she turned around that she noticed me. "AAAAAAAH" screams Starlight. I rolled my eyes and continued eating. "Good morning to you too" I said to her. "Who are you? What are you?" she asked. "Someone who's trying to enjoy their morning" I said as I took a bite of my toast. Starlight began lighting up her horn. I put my toast down an d looked at her. "Use magic on me if you want, but it won't really do anything" I said getting back to my breakfast. Starlight shot a bolt of magic at me, which I caught like a dodgeball then shattered it. After that I went to eating my eggs. "How did you?" Started Starlight. Then Twilight walked in. "Hey Twilight, I see Starlight is settling in" I say to Twilight. Starlight looks from me to Twilight. "You, know him?" Said Starlight pointing her hoof at me. "Oh, right, I forgot to introduce you two..." started Twilight before I interrupted her. "I know who she is, Starlight Glimmer, she took away an entire towns cutie marks, then yesterday tried to screw with time by making it so Rainbow Dash never did her first Sonic Rainboom, now she's your student and now she's looking at me funny and if she doesn't stop she's going to end up being dropkicked to the moon, my name's Mamoru by the way" I said finishing by looking at Starlight. Starlight's eyes shrink to pinpricks. "Twilight...." asked Starlight looking to Twilight for help. "It's alright, he's not going to do that" reassured Twilight. "What is with his eyes" asked Starlight. "I don't know but, don't worry he's safe" said Twilight. Starlight looked at me and I made a creepy chuckle and my special cheshire grin, sharp teeth all the way to my ears. "Are you sure about that?" Starlight asks worriedly. Twilight looked at me and got a little scared. "I'll only hurt anyone if they make me mad, so my advice, stay on my good side" I said chuckling creepily. "Yeah, I'd listen to him, he is super messed up in the head, don't get him mad at you" said Spike as he walks in. I look over to him and my smile goes to a normal one. "Sup, Spike how'd you sleep?" I asked. "Meh, pretty good, you?" Asked Spike. "Nah, I slept like a rock, I was super busy working, got home pretty late" I said. "K" said Spike. He went and got out some gems. He came to the table and sat next to me and began to eat. "So, Twilight, I heard your nephew has been born" I said. "Oh right that was today" said Twilight starting to panic. "Oh my gosh, What did I just do?" I asked Spike in realization of my mistake. "Count me out, on going by the way, I have important things to do" I said, hoping she wouldn't force me to go. "Besides I'd scare the baby" I said to make myself even less of a target. ---Later--- ---Crystal Empire--- "Why did I open my big mouth?" I said as I got off the train. "Oh, hush it won't be that bad" said Twilight. "Ok, I'm not going to be involved with anything you do, I am going to the to the spa, there I can cause less trouble" I said teleporting away so Twilight can't say anything else. ---Crystal Empire Spa--- I appear at the front desk of the spa, startling the receptionist. "Hey, whatever your longest treatment is, I'll take it" I said with a blank look. The receptionist looked at me. I rolled my eyes and placed a medium size bag filled with bits onto the desk. She looked at the bag and then to me. She pushed the bag into a drawer and led me into the massaging room. She had me disrobe and she left. I snapped my fingers and switched what I was wearing and swapped it with a towel. I got on the table and waited for the masseuse. > Chapter twenty-three > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ok getting that massage was a bad idea" I said as I came out of the spa. Everything hurts like hell. I walk towards the palace. "Hey why is it snowing?" I said to myself. I look around and see snow all around. I zip up my jacket and pull the hood over my head and pull the strings. Then There is a big blast of magic that wipes out the snow. I look myself over. "And I'm shiny again" I said letting my arms go limp. I teleported near the Crystal heart. I look over and see everypony crystalized. "Ugh" I said alerting everypony. Cadence was the first to approach me. "Hello Mamoru, Its nice to see you! is that a new jacket" said Cadence. I take the hood down. "Nice to see you too, and thanks for noticing" I said. "Would you like to meet our daughter?" She asked. "Have you named her?" I asked. "Yes we have, we named her...." she began before I interrupted. "Flurry Heart" I said. Cadence looked at me confused and surprised. "Y-yes, How did you know?" She asked as I just smirked. Cadence brought me to flurry heart. I put my goggles up and looked at the baby. "Aw, she's such a cute little alicorn" I said as I saw her sneeze. "Aaah! Too cute, cuteness overload!" I say grabbing my chest as I pass out. ---Later--- I wake up on the train with a start. "Hey, are you ok Mamoru?" asked Starlight. "I'll be fine, we on our way back home?" I asked. I looked myself over and was relieved to see I was back to normal. "We should be arriving in a few hours" said Twilight. "Sweet, wake me when we get there!" I said falling asleep. "But you just!... ugh!" Said Twilight as I started snoring. As soon as we got back, I went to my room and removed my weapons and ammo, then left my goggles and coat on the wall rack leaving me wearing my jacket. I left my room and went searching for Starlight. It took me a while. I eventually found her in the library. "Hey, Starlight, can you do me a favor?" I asked. "Um, sure, what can I help you with?" She asked. "I need you to help me with my powers, I wanna know exactly what my power level is, so I need you to make a list of what I can do" I said. "Sure I guess I could help you out" she said looking nervous. She won't be much help to me like this. "You'll get used to me eventually, your body language gives it away, lets go!" I said. We go to the front door and I stopped. "What are you doing?" Asked Starlight. "Checking my bike" I said while giving it the once over. "I've never seen anything like that before" she said looking intently at my bike. "If you want we can go for a ride on it later" I said getting her excited. "But we got to get through the other stuff first" I said. We went outside and walked to an empty field. I stopped and looked around, it had a few large rocks, and a few huge boulders. "This should do" I said. "Ok, so we're here, now what?" Asked Starlight. "First we need to place some equipment down, to measure what I can do" I said. "This seems more like something that Twilight would be doing, Don't you want her to do this?" Asked Starlight. "Yes I do, and I need both you and Twilight documenting it all tomorrow" I said. Starlight looked at me for a moment. Then began sit down. I went to one of the rocks an put my hand on it. "What are you doing?" Asked Starlight. After she said that the rock began to fracture, then it explodes. I take a step away from the rubble. Starlight stares at me at me in awe. "We can get to work tomorrow" I dusting myself off. ---The Next Day, Mid Afternoon--- "Ok, Mamoru, before we begin I'll need you to wear this bracelet, its going to monitor what you do and once we're done I can check your progress" said Twilight. I put the bracelet on and started using my all my powers, one after another. ---Later--- When I finished, the whole field was decimated. And both Twilight and Starlight looked on with shocked looks on their faces, eyes wide, jaws on the ground. I walked over and put the bracelet around Twilight's horn. "I'll leave you two alone to process all that, I'm going to take a nap" I said while walking away. I walked back into the castle and went to take my nap. ---Meanwhile--- ---Third person POV--- Twilight and Starlight finally got out of their shock. "What is he, there should be no way he should have that much raw power" said Starlight. Twilight looked at the field. "Your right, it's like he's got the power of a deity within him, imagine what could happen, if he stopped holding back" said Twilight. "This is him holding back!?!" Said Starlight gesturing to the disaster area that was once a field. Twilight checked the bracelet. "No, wait, the bracelet says that he was using everything he had, but this is devastating, if he were to turn on us, there would be no way we could stop him, and no way we could contain him either" said Twilight looking to Starlight. "But why does he use all that power for such foalish reasons" asked Starlight. "He could practicality end the world if he wanted to, and yet, right now he's in his room taking a nap, why is he like this?" asked Starlight. "I don't know, but he's never harmed anypony as far as I can tell, and when we needed him he would help us" replied Twilight. "He doesn't use his powers for personal gain, he just uses them to help us" Said Twilight. "And if he knows about my past, why didn't he judge me?" Asked Starlight. Then Twilight realized something. "He shows all the signs of a hero" Said Twilight. Starlight looked at her in disbelief. "Him, a hero, are you serious, this morning he threatened to dropkick me just for staring at him!" said Starlight. Twilight began walking back to the castle. "That may be true, but he protects others from harm, he protected us from dragons and King Sombra, he came for us when the changelings attacked Canterlot, his power may come from a dark place, but he is not evil, well a little eccentric maybe, but not evil" said Twilight as she walked into the castle. "You're right, he may weild this power, but never uses it to harm others, I've never even seen him use his swords" said Starlight. Just then both their thoughts were interrupted by Mamoru coming out his room in all his gear, dancing, singing and playing a guitar. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zAz6svcil1I Then he when he finished that song he began singing another. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O52jAYa4Pm8 "I love those songs" said Mamoru finishing his songs with a cheshire grin and going back into his room. Both Twilight and Starlight looked at each other. "Well I'm a little confused, if he's supposed to be a hero, why does he act like a bad guy most of the time?" asked Starlight. "Because he likes that way!" Said Mamoru while poking his head out of his room, surprising both of them, then pulling his head back in and shutting the door. "Well, you heard him" said Twilight chuckling, causing Starlight to begin laughing as well. And they both continued to laugh as they walked away. > Chapter twenty-four > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day I decided to magic up a new weapon, Jacob Frye's hidden blade. I put it on over my jacket yet under my coat. I then built in a computer, so it would work like a pip-boy, I made the screen a hard-light hologram projection. So when it wasn't giving me info, it would look the exactly the same as how it started. put in a few other bells and whistles, to allow me to know the time, date, dimension, and the Current Location's most recent news and events so I would always be in the know, it even checked my vitals, magic levels, and was able to scan objects and take pictures, plus Bluetooth. (Example) I gave it a few test flexes to see the blade come out. Then I checked the current data on it and it, to test if it was correct. Once I was satisfied with it I pulled the coat sleeve over it. I left my room with all my gear and made my way to the map room, where I was surprised to see spike glowing. "The dragon lord is summoning all the dragons isn't he" I said with a deadpan. "Uh.... Yes, how did you know?" Asked Twilight. "I always know" I said. I'll go get my bike so me and Spike can get to the Dragonlands in comfort and style, and don't worry Spike, I'll take it easy so you don't pass out again" I said watching Spike take a nervous gulp. ---Later--- "D-do we have to take your bike?" asked Spike. "Spike, It will take us forever to get there, If we use the tiger 800 XCx, we'll get there in half the time, it runs on my magic so we won't have to stop, I've already put on the cargo cases for our lunches and snacks, which will kind of slow it down, we are all ready to go, now come on!" I explained to Spike. I grabbed Spike and put him between me and the handlebars. I pulled my hood on, revved up the engine and rode off. ---Later--- It wasn't long before we reached the Dragonlands. I pulled over a good distance away. "There, was that so bad?" I asked Spike. He seemed more calm than he was on his last ride. "Hehe, you're right that wasn't so bad, thanks for giving me a ride here" said Spike with a smile. "Anything for a friend, besides I have a job to do, I need to set up cameras so I can broadcast this on EqNN, the ponies will enjoy this" I said while getting out my microphone. I took out the dust cover and covered my bike. "I'm starting to think you care a lot about that bike" said Spike. I take my hood off and put my goggles up. "Of course, especially since it cost me a small fortune to buy it and pimp it out, now let's get going" I said, splitting in two, one of me grabbed a camera and following me and spike. We arrived to see a whole mess of dragons. The camera was turned on, and I began my broadcast. " welcome loyal viewers, I am here live, In the Dragonlands, here to show you, the folks at home, the events that are about to take place" I said to the camera and took to the sky with the camera-man close behind. I flew straight to Dragon Lord Torch. "Hello there, I am Mamoru Shinigami, and I'm here to broadcast today's events, hope you don't mind" I said to the colossal dragon. "What are you?" he asked. "Oh, I'm with the press, I'm here to document this rather large collection of dragons, I am going to be here for a while, you can just pretend we aren't here" I said. "I already am" he said dismissively. "And that folks is Dragon Lord Torch, stay tuned for more!" I said to the camera. I watched as Torch explained about the gauntlet of fire to the young dragons. I split again and let one of my clones handle the rest as I flew over to check on Spike. -------- "Why don't you compete, you know every dragon here wants to invade Equestria when the become Dragon Lord" I said to Spike. "But I don't have a chance against them" said Spike. I just looked at him and tilted my head, with crossed arms and a raised eyebrow. "What?" Asked Spike. "This is an important event, if you don't do this, I will personally kick your ass!" I said while putting my goggles down. "Ok, of to the starting line" said Spike, afraid of what I'll do to him. ---Third person POV--- "Princess Ember?" said Spike surprised. "What do you think you're doing?" Asked ember. --CLANG---CLANG-- both dragons looked to where the sound came from. "I believe he just saved your life" said Mamoru. "And who are you?" Said Ember putting a claw on Mamoru's chest. "I'm The Dark One, Mamoru Shinigami, and I believe you owe him appreciation" Mamoru said pointing at Spike. Ember looked at Spike then tried to tell Mamoru off but he was gone. Just then, Garble crashes into the beach from getting hit by a boulder. "Help me Spike" said Garble. After Spike helped him, Garble kicked sand over spike. "Haha, all that time around ponies made you soft" said Garble. ---Mamoru POV--- I watched as ember covered for Spike about the pony smell. "And so it begins" I say to myself. I teleported into the room where the bloodstone scepter was residing. I went into my shadow form and took a nap. I awoke later to see Garble and Spike going at it. 'Well at least they made it' I thought to myself. I moved through the darkness and went into Spike's shadow. I tuned most of what they were saying out, then I saw Ember come in an help Spike by shoving Garble away. I kinda zoned out again then a little while later I got out of my trance and saw Spike giving ember the scepter. I chose now is a good time to show myself. "Well, well, looks like we have a new dragon friend, nice to have you Ember, I'll be seeing you again soon" I said with my cheshire grin which unnerved her. I then teleported back to my bike to wait for them to come back. ---------- "I'm glad we did that, now let's head back" I said getting on my bike, then helping Spike on. "I'm glad I have a new friend" said Spike. I just gave him a friendly smile and started the engine, and went full speed towards home, with Spike screaming the whole way. ---Later--- We arrived at the castle and I drove my bike all the way to my room. I shut off the engine and let Spike off, then got off myself. "Hey Spike, tell Everypony not to bother me for the next few months, I'll be in my room in a stasis chamber, I'm gonna be asleep for a while" I said shocking him. "What!?!" Asked Spike. I opened my door and walked my bike in and left it next to my stasis chamber. (Example) "When did you have time to make that?" Asked Spike. "During the gauntlet, I had a team of clones make it, now you know what to tell them right?" I said looking at Spike. "Sure I'll tell them" said Spike. I gave Spike a nod and closed the door as he left. I put in the countdown for the stasis pod. The day the pony of shadows and Starswirl the bearded return from limbo. I put my goggles up, opened the chamber, stepped inside and locked the door. The pod began to fill with a dark ooze. It filled the entire chamber quickly. Once it was full, the ooze froze with me inside. Now all I have to do is sleep and wait. > Chapter twenty-five > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mmm, whats going on, I'm waking up? That was fast. The dark ooze has finally thawed and is now emptying out of the chamber.the door opens. I'm greeted to Darkness. I raise a hand and light up the room with magic. I look around. There's nothing but clutter. "What the!?! There has to be a few years with of stuff here, it's like they couldn't find an attic and decided to put everything in here!?!" I said aloud. I looked to my left and saw my bike covered in layers of dust. I pulled up my left sleeve and tapped my gauntlet. I checked the date. "NO! Nonononononononono, oh no!" I said in panic. What I saw shocked me to my very core. I checked my phone, it showed the same as the gauntlet. I double checked both. But after a whole hour of checking over and over, I got the same result. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I had overshot my awakening. Today was the series finale, when Twilight told the story of her coronation to her new student. I went over to the console for the stasis chamber, it had been tampered with, "Someone canceled my wake up call" I said with rage. "I'm lucky the failsafe worked otherwise I'd be sleeping forever!" I said. I moved away from the console and went over to the closet and packed my pajamas, still in perfect condition. I went over to my bike. I got on and started the engine. I put my hood up and my goggles down as I began to vibrate fast enough so I could phase through the molecules of the walls. Then I rode through the wall. "I'm coming Twilight! AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA " I said laughing maniacally. I rode my bike through Ponyville and headed to the train station. Took a turn and began riding right next to the tracks. I followed the railroad straight to Canterlot. I rode through the streets, startling multiple ponies along the way. I began vibrating again and went through the castle walls. I rode straight to the throne room. As soon as I was a ten feet from Twilight, I skidded sideways and did a few donuts and stopped. I turned off the engine and put the kickstand down. I got off my bike and stomped towards Twilight. Is soon as I was a foot away from her face, I stopped. "Hey Twilight, it seems I may have overslept, why is that?" I asked through gritted sharp teeth. Twilight was shocked. Her eyes were pinpricks. "Mamoru? You're awake!" Exclaimed Twilight as she wrapped her hooves around me in a tight hug, which I returned. "It's good to see you Twi, and you've definitely been eating your alicorn vitamins, cuz DAAAYYUUMN YOU HUGE!" I said. "How've you been?" I asked. "I've been doing pretty well, thank you" Said Twilight. "I can see that, Princess of friendship and Equestria, you've really hit the big leagues, I'm guessing Spike looks buff now?" I said. Twilight just gave me a motherly smile similar to Celestia. Twilight looks so much like Celestia it's creepy. "But you, your like Celestia 2.0" I said. "I highly doubt that" said Twilight. I heard the doors open and I turned around and I saw a grown up Spike walk in. "Hey Spike, Miss me?" I asked. Spike was shocked. "Mamoru? Is that really you?" He asked. I ran up to him with super speed. Before he could react I gave him a few bitch slaps. "Does that answer your question?" I said. Spike smiled and wrapped his arms around me in the most painful hug ever. "Spike, I think you just broke my spine, let go please" I groan. Spike lets me go. "Oops, sorry" said Spike. "Ah it feels good to be back, unfortunately, This is the finale and I have to go somewhere else pretty soon" I said confusing Twilight. I turned to Twilight and walked to my bike and moved it beside her throne."what!?!" Asked Twilight. I snapped my fingers and cleared the skid marks I left on the floor. "Oh, right I never told you, well now I can tell you why I knew so much before anything happened, I am from the future where in my world, yours is a Tv show for kids, and I saw every episode, all the way to the series finale, which is today, so as soon as your student comes in with a stupid outlook on friends and you tell her a whole story to change her mind, and the rest of the girls arrive, I will be on my way to another world" I said running out of breath. I breathed in and saw Twilight was even more confused. "I'm just going to sit behind your throne and zone out while you talk with your student who should be here in a few minutes" I said. I walked behind her throne and sat down. And soon enough her student arrived. ---Later after the story--- --clap-- --clap-- --clap-- --clap-- --clap-- The mane 6 and Twilight's student, Luster Dawn all look in my direction. "Very touching, glad to see the whole gang is still together after all these years, so sappy!" I said walking towards them all. "Mamoru? Is that really you?" Asked Pinkie. "Yes it is, now let's move things along shall we" I said. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pAgnJDJN4VA I snapped my fingers and my bike drove itself to my left. "I'd like to stick around but things have become rather dull so I'm going away" I said while getting on my bike. "But you only just got here darling" said Rarity. I started my engine. "True, but like all good things, they come to an end, unfortunately for me I have to go" I said. "Do you really have to go?" Asked Fluttershy looking like she was about to cry. "Yup, I have to, there's a whole multiverse out there, and I'm going to explore it" I said. "Will you be back?" Asked Applejack. "Nope, goodbye everypony" I said as I snapped my fingers and opening a window and putting a small ramp in front of it. I backed up my motorcycle as far as I could. "Take me to an mlp Ryme city" I said to my bell. I drove my bike at full speed out the window. I tapped the bell three times and turned it a quarter to the left. My bike sparked and all the ponies gathered at the window and watched as I waved good bye. Then my bike disappeared from their view and I was gone. ----Elsewhere---- I arrived into the new world on my motorcycle. I put my goggles onto my forehead and looked around. Only to find something very troubling. ----------THE END?------------
