On the good side, Jay was used to weird things. Sadly, this takes the cake.
Jay woke up to a world of magic, and other beings. Sadly, he's used to thing. On the bright side, he's used to this. Maybe he can change this for the better. Jay ends up during the first movie, after he get's the Nunchaku during Crystalized
Jay groaned, as he felt bones snap back together, and into place. Cuts stich themselves together with skin and scales. He sat up, and saw he was near a castle.
“… Well, this is new.” He said, looking around. Not many clouds, so that explains why he didn’t land on one. He tried to see if anyone else was around.
He looked at what he was wearing. It was… A golden Dragon outfit? When did he get this?
Wait, he looked beside him. The Golden Nunchaku were glowing, and sparking. Like he just went through a giant storm cloud.
“… Did you get zapped? Did I get zapped? One of us got zapped, and I hope it was you.” He muttered, as the lightning was pure blue, not the weaker kind that it was when it was just the dregs. He looked behind him, and the wings moved, like they were real. He could almost feel them.
He lifted his usual weapon, and grinned. He felt the Golden Dragon Armour go into the Nunchaku, spinning them around slightly. He put them on his back, and started to slightly limp, it gets better as he moved, towards the castle.
He then felt something brimming. And saw that he wasn’t in the outfit from the few moments before fighting. It was… “Wow. Haven’t seen this form, in… Huh, it’s only been two years, hasn’t it?” He asked, looking at his true potential. “Man, a lot happened. Can I still fly?” He asked, grinning and he jumped.
He didn’t fall.
-
He didn’t get a lot of time with this, sadly, so when he just… Goes through the wall, he might have stopped.
“Since when could I do that? Why can I do that?” He asked himself, and then saw three… Horses, in armour.
Which… Wait, that’s Flash Sentry. Dear god, he’s in Equestria. Which, should have triggered some kind of mental break, but he’s been in a video game before. And the Digi-verse. He’s lived legends, and found a mural that shows the future. He’s time travelled and faced an all-powerful Djinn. He’s a little past, having a mental break down.
Oh, and if he does, then he just goes calm. So, he doesn’t really know if he’s actually having one or not, so that’s fun.
“Greetings? Can we just talk this out?” He tried, with a nervous laugh. The three stared at him. And then lowered their spears.
“That’s just~ great.” He groaned, and rushed off, hoping his flight was more useful than anything else. He rushed away, as they charged after him.
He entered a random room and saw Luna.
“… Please, don’t tell them I’m here?” He asked, and she just stared.
“… Very well, we will not.” She spoke. Ah, right. The we thing. Jay never really understood it, maybe because she has like, that whole other personality going on. “But, only if you explain what, and who you are.”
“Let’s save that till we meet your sister.” Jay said. “Don’t wanna explain twice, what and who I am.”
“Very well.” She nodded. “How did you get here?”
“Pretty sure that falls under, the whole need to explain to your dear sister too.” Jay muttered, and looked outside. A guard looked his way. Jay froze, and felt his heartbeat faster.
The guard turned away, with a shrug, and Jay looked down.
“… I’m invisible.”
“Correct.”
“That’s new.” He muttered.
“Powers are often expanded or built upon during destressing times, we find.”
“Fair. In ‘ere?” He asked, and she nodded. He opened the door, and saw Celestia.
“Ah, you must be from the Ninjago Realms.” Celestia said, looking at Jay. “You look a lot, like your mother.” She said.
“My mother?” “Lilith. She was just lovely.” Celestia said, tapping her chin. “Did she tell you about us?”
“… No. I never met my mother.” Jay said, with a sigh.
“Ah. That… makes some things harder to explain.” She muttered. “But also easier. It’s my student, Twilights, Coronation next week.” She explained. “She and her friends, are coming to stay for a few nights.”
“Ah… And their smaller siblings?”
“Are allowed to come.” Well, that’s a change. Mind, the movie had a budget, and didn’t even have background ponies like the show did.
Actually, the movie could have done better as a spin off series. Or, with a series along with it, after other Twilight showed up.
That would have been fun.
Uh, she’s talking. Shit. Better listen Walker!
“So, how is the old coot doing now a days?”
“Which one?” Jay asked.
“hmm, I suppose you would call him the First Spinjitzu Master?”
“Ah, him. Nah, that bastards dead. Dead as hell.” Jay said. “And not the type of dead all my friends have gone through. Like, actual 100% dead. Never coming back, kind of dead.” Luna glanced at him.
“We notice Friends. But not you. Have you lived?”
“Yeah. I’m convinced I’m immortal.” Jay said, and sat down. He gave a suffering sigh. “I don’t think I can die.”
“That would make sense. Your mother stopped aging after a point, and had amazing healing skills.” Celestia stated.
“We ponder if this is an event we forgot, or we were on the moon?”
“After you were on the moon, sister. I apologize for not telling you.”
“Pardoned. As we have been busy, trying to get back to a normal life, as of now.” Jay grinned.
“Heh.” He laughed, and looked at the ceiling. “Wish I could forget somethings.” He said.
“Oh?”
“Problem with being the one to survive? You notice when the others don’t.” Both glanced at the other and nodded.
“Very much so. It’s worse, when you know, you will outlive them.” Jay nodded.
“As you said. Stop aging. I’m Fifteen but look near twenty.”
“… I don’t think, that’s what I meant.”
“No, no. He’s got a point.” Luna said. “If you are stuck at an older age, it will not change.”
“Sister, that is not how it works, and you know thi-“
“To be fair, I’ve looked like this, for like, at least two years? Nya’s actually a year older than me, so that’s fun~” He sighed.
“Nya? Do you mean Nyad?”
“No. No, definitely not. She’s the new holder of the Water element. Uh, she kinda was for like, a month? But then she came back, and the rest of us became enemies of… Kinda the world? We only have one island, as far as I know…” He muttered. “Probably have more, that just don’t interact, cause of the bullshit that happens with us…” He muttered.
“Possibly. We do not interact with other realms as much, because we do not fight like they do.”
“… Twilight has burned people with LASERS.” Jay said, stressing the word lasers.
“Fair. But, we are not violent. At least, until we are pushed.”
“… I can count on both hands, off the top of my head, a number of people, who have tried to take over this world. One of which, actually almost succeeded because you didn’t deem them a threat, or thought Twilight could handle it on her own. She could, but that’s not the damn point.” Jay said, and felt slightly angry.
Why?
“I… Suppose that I could be there for her more. But, I do not believe that she would ask for my help.”
“She doesn’t often. Maybe you should let her know, that she can.” Luna looked between the two.
“Thy knows someone like this, do thy not?”
“Master Wu. Dude shows up every other day, going, “There’s something I haven’t told you.”” Jay said, sighing. Celestia giggled.
“I suppose that sounds like him.” She admitted.
“Who?”
“Wu.”
“Woo?”
“Wu~” Celestia corrected.
“Woo~” Jay sang, tired as hell. He needs a nap. Sky’s clear. He laid down at the side wall, and felt darkness wash over him.
-
When he opened his eyes, someone was poking him with a stick.
“All I’m saying, is that it’s weird. Why is It like this?”
“Kinda looks like ya, Dashie.” Applejack said, and Jay groaned.
“How the buck, was I out for this long?”
“A week, you mean? I do not know. You just slept.” Celestia said. “Also, Twilights crown got stolen three minutes ago.”
“Ah, darn. It’s that time of the week, huh?” Pinkie snorted.
“Oh, you’re used to this~” She said, and Jay just grinned. And he pulled his hood down.
“Trust me Pink. I’ve faced worse, than an Autistic horse.”
“A what now?” A few asked. Twilight just blinked, and Celestia looked like things made sense.
“That explains, so much.” She said.
“Uh, not even going to ask, because then we would just get a list of book references.” Dash said, with a sigh.
“Urgh, I feel your pain there, Rainbow. Now, let’s Portal.”
“I never told you my na-“
“LET’S PORTAL!”
-
“So, now I look like you.” Twilight said, opened what Jay said was a hand. This is just… Too weird for her.
“Trust me kiddo. This is a Tuesday for me. Even though It’s Thursday? No, Wednesday, yeah. Yeah, an extra day to get up to bullshi- Oh, Hi Fluttershy~!” Jay chirped, looking at a human, Fluttershy.
Did she come through the porta- She never told Jay any names…
“Oh, hello.” She said, holding her hair in front of her face. “How are you…”
“Jay. ‘M good. Just tryin ta see if Aj’s around? Got a few parts for a tractor, and helpin fix the dang thin up!” He said.
What the hell was that accent? And why didn’t he have it three seconds ago. Also, what’s a Tracto-
“Hmm… We don-“
“Sunset isn’t around.”
“She’s currently trying to stop Bloom from setting fire to a trash can.” She said, holding up a photo. Why the sudden change? “Dash’s trying to stop Scootaloo.”
“Thought she would help?”
“She’s trying to be responsible.” Shy said, tapping her chin. “Which, is strange. I get that, but she is often trying to set a good example.”
“So, Scoot’s got two gay aunts, and gay mom’s. Got it.” Jay nodded.
Twilight froze, knowing how defensive both get on relationships. Or, lack thereof.
“You… Know about her aunts?”
“Yepo.”
“And you’re ok with it?”
“My parents own a junk yard, not an American flag.”
“Heh.” She giggled. “You look like you could be Dash’s cousin. Your emblem, even looks like her- Uh, her own.”
“You can say Tattoo.”
“Yes… But it’s not… Exactly visible, on a normal day…” She said, slightly red.
“Ah. Understandable.” Jay nodded. “Nya has a crap ton of marks from her time being… Uh, dead…” He said, rubbing his arm. Excu-
“Dead? Sorry, but who is Nya?”
“My Wife.”
“Your… OK then.” Shy blinked at that. Twilight was just busy trying not to have a panic attack. “Wait, how is that Lega-“
“One of us is a goddess, the other is immortal.” He said, sounding tired. “I could snap my fingers, and call the Storm to me. My wife, was the Sea. We do not abide by human rules and laws, like you shall.”
“Uh…” Twilight was starting to breath heavy now~
“Sorry. Got a bit… defensive. Basically, a crap ton of lawyers.” Shy nodded, and Twilight calmed down.
“That makes more sense. So, what did you mean by summon the storm?”
“Uh… is rain scheduled?” He asked, looking at the clear sky.
“No?”
“Watch.” He said, and held a hand up.
The first thing Twi noticed, was the area getting darker, and the sound of thunder. She stuck close to Fluttershy, who just looked at her confused.
“She has a friend in another universes version of you.”
“Oh.” Jay grinned, as the first few spots of rain hit, then heard a shout.
“OH, COME ON!” That, was Rainbow Dash.
“Crap, didn’t think about the sport head.” Jay muttered, as his hand was still up, and Rainbow was charging towards him.
“Uh, hi?” He said, as she stopped, and looked at him. He was suddenly aware he was in his Gi from the Tournament.
“… Why the fuck, do you look like me?” She asked, looking at the boy.
Jay glanced at his hand. And he stilled.
That was… A mixture of his True Potential, and Avatar. How the fu-
“Kiddo, I’m pretty sure, we’re kinda a part of the multiverse.” He said, and Twilight tilted her head.
“Isn’t she older than you?”
“You do not know my age.”
“Fifteen.”
“Crap, you know my age.”
“Weird thing, is that Bluttershy is seventeen, and Dash is sixteen. Why are they so young?”
“Bluttershy?” Jay asked, and Dash laughed.
“Heh, new nickname~” She teased.
“Keep that up, and you won’t walk for weeks~” Fluttershy purred, and Dash blushed.
“Didn’t really need to know that kid.” Jay said, clicking his fingers, and lightning flashed. The rain started to pick up. “How about we get to the school?”
“Sounds good. Also, we just learned we’re both older than you-“
“HOW ABOUT WE GET TO THE SCHOOL!?” He hissed, with a deranged look in his eyes.
-
The new two, are weird. One, is an adult, who suddenly got a job in the library, which… Guess Celestia just allows that?
And Jay… Jay was an anomaly. He has a story. A long one.
Fluttershy was sort of waiting for him, and then heard someone talking.
“So, what did ya think of that new kid?”
“The one that look’s like Dash’s cousin? Uh, yeah. He’s weird.”
“I know. Hey, did ya see what he was wearing?”
“Oh right. That.” She inched closer, trying to get a visual. He wasn’t in the hall, the two talking, were on a study period, apparently. Fluttershy was able to come and go, due to her anxiety, and great grades.
“I think I saw like, yellow scales on his face.”
“Looks a lot like Dash’s. Wouldn’t blame someone if they thought this was male Dash.”
“Hair’s pure blue though. Like his skin.”
“Yeah. And the eyes are like, pure grey. I think I’ve seen clouds less grey than that.”
“Urgh, tell me about it. It’s scary. And he just… Pierces into your soul with em.”
“Sounds like a you problem there buddy.”
“Hah ha, shut up Bud-Bud.” Fluttershy couldn’t really deal with that.
“So, what’s he in now? Did it change?”
“Nerp, still the exact same outfit. That weird blue and white thing.”
“Uh… The one that makes him look like a video game protagonist?”
“That’s the bitch.”
“Yeah. Better get going. We gotta finish that report.”
She blinked, as they left.
She then heard the… What was it called? Eh, whatever speakers are called. And Principle Celestia’s voice sound, clear, and authoritative.
“Can Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Fluttershy Whisper, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Apple Bloom, Rarity Gemerosity, Sweetie-Belle Gemerosity, and Scootaloo Rush please report to the office? Thank you.”
Fluttershy gulped. Why was everyone called.
“Oh, And Pinkie Pie. You too, I guess.” Luna’s voice sounded this time.
Shy snorted. Yeah, that was one thing she liked about pretending to hate the others, Pinkie was quieter.
-
Jay sighed, as he entered the office. He looked at the woman, that regarded him strangely. He sighed, and let his True Potential drop.
He sagged his shoulders, knowing that the rush of energy, was gone now. But, he didn’t feel like he was going to pass out anymore.
“Sup. I’m not from around here.” He said, and she blinked.
“This… Sounds like a long discussion.”
“Yeah, might want to call your daughter in, along with the mane five, and the CMC.” Jay said, rolling his hand.
“My- … Did you mean, Sunset Shimmer?”
“Lady, she’s either staying with you, or homeless.” Jay said, with a slight narrowing of the eye. Eyes?
He’s not able to see out his left right now. He must’ve used a bit too much power. He pulled out the Eye-Patch, and it was on. He looked at her.
“So, how long do you think it’ll be, befo-“
“WE’RE HERE!” Nine voices sounded, and Sunset just blinked.
“… I am, sorry.” She said, sighing. “But, really? It’s like you’re not even trying to pretend to hate one another. Mind, Applejack and Rarity don’t even try.” Everyone but Jay froze.
“I mean, yeah? She’s not exactly socially adept, but she isn’t blind.” Jay said. “Also, AJ. Ya got a little red, around yer mouth.” Said girl immediately wiped her mouth with the back of her fist.
“Right~ So all of us have been acting scared of you, for…”
“No reason.” Jay said. “Well, other than if she wanted to do a whole, take of the world thing, but… I don’t think that’s going to happen.” He said, looking at her.
He could see a lot of Electronics around her. One, was a GPS in her bracelet. He knows she put it on willingly.
“Wait, my sister and Blooms’ sister is dating?” Belle asked. “… I am not okay with this.”
“Not everything has to be okie dokie kid.” Jay said, shrugging. “Sometimes you don’t like it, but then grow to love it. Kai was the exact same way.”
“Who’s Kai?”
“The only human in our friend group.” Jay said, complete stone faced. Everyone stared at him.
“… I knew you weren’t human.” Sunset muttered. “You smell… Like a Pegasus.” She said and looked at Twilight. “And why the heck are you an adult? Aren’t you younger than me?”
“Time Travel, Sunset.” Jay said. “Sometimes it can fling you back, or forward. For you, it was forward.” He said, and sat down. He sighed. “Is there anywhere we can all sit down? That’s also not going to be used for a while?”
“Hmm… I think, there is a band room, that isn’t in use at the moment.” Celestia spoke. She looked at the visibly sweating Sunset.
“Or, it could be where you’re staying. Ok, let’s use that then.” Celestia said. “Luna, do you want to listen in?”
“Nay, my dear sister. Too much paperwork, and phone calls.” Celestia nodded.
“Let’s go.” Jay said. But before he turned the knob, he had to answer one question.
“Why do you look different?”
“… Because I need a break. That was… Powered, I guess you could call it. This, is what I usually look like.” He said, brown hair was almost in his face. And Eyepatch on.
“Why the Eye Patch?” Bloom asked.
“That, sweet, sweet Bloom. Is the long story, I am going to explain.” Jay sighed. “Sunset. Is there anytone that could benefit from this discussion?”
“Perhaps. I’ll ask her to come.” She said, and tapped away. “She’ll be here soon.”
“Who?” Twilight asked.
“My… My Girlfriend. Twilight Sparkle. Or, for sake of no headaches. Sci-Twi.”
Long, before time had a name… And dear god to I sound like Wu.
Let’s keep this history lesson short, and skip to the high-lights eh?
The First Spinjitzu master, created something.
Four weapons, made of gold. Pure, Creation.
The Sword of Fire, sometimes the Dragon sword of Fire. The burning hot passion, and desires to create. Lava, which cools into rock, metal melting and twisting.
Scythe of Quakes. Earth itself. Cracking and sifting, to create more. Able to splinter bones, and create mountains. The unshakable will, of the one that wields it.
Shuriken of Ice. What makes everything cool, and balances the fire. The cool and collectedness. More analytical, than passion. Almost unforgiving. But, can be soft.” He paused, as Bloom raised her hand.
“Yes?”
“Is the last one water?”
“Ah, now that’s what’s interesting.
No, Water was not an element the dude could control. And, there was two others. But, he stole one, made it his own.” He stated, and made his fingers spark.
“Lightning?” Celestia asked. “That… Isn’t one of the major elements, in other… Media? Or, Legends.” She stated. “Oh, sorry Twilight, we… Didn’t ask how you were taking all this?”
“I am… Well, I’m dating Sunset. I was prepared for weird, from day one.” She said, shrugging.
“I… Forgot that.” Twi said, and sighed. “Please, continue Jay.”
“Water, was one of two elements, that were unable to be controlled. The other, is Storm. Water, was the counter to all that was solid. Ever changing, and unforgiving.
Storm, was tricky for even the wielder to deal with. A stray bolt, and death or destruction rains. But, it can also heal.” He breathed. “I try to be the balance.”
“The final weapon, was the Nunchaku of Lightning.” He said, and held them up. The Dragon hilts, glowing and pulsing with the power of the storms.
“It’s… Powerful.” Scootaloo, Dash and Shy all seemed like they sensed something from it.
“I’d say. It’s like standing next to Princess Celestia when she raises the sun.” Twilight whispered, moving a hand to the paper, where she was writing notes. It was messy, but slightly readable. Sunset was taking cleaner notes.
“… That’s funny.” Jay said, and Sunset nodded. “Celestia, do you feel anything?”
“… Kind of, but, it’s slightly off-putting if I am honest.” She said, tapping her fingers on her leg. Sunset nodded.
“Same. It’s like it’s something I can feel, but shouldn’t…”
“Well, that’s different.” Jay muttered. “Back to the story.
Each one, has a special skill, and a unique power. Sadly, we hardly got time to even begin to understand them.
The Scythe, could turn into a tank like machine, able to traverse the longest of distance.
The Sword, a bike, flashy and powerful, much like the element it harnessed.
The Shuriken, a smaller bike, small but stealthy. Like Black ice.” He explained.
“And the Nunchaku?” Scoot asked, tilting her head.
“… A Jet-Plane.” He grinned. “The feeling of freedom, not weighted by gravity, flying so fast, the rest of the world is a blur. The knowing, that you can just… Be, without issue.” He sighed, and they glowed slightly. He sighed, and they stopped.
“That sounds like the Pegasi I’ve talked to.” Sunset and Twilight said together, before stopping. “Er, you’ve talked to one before too?” Both asked the other.
Sci-Twi was just noting it down.
“So, how did he even create this stuff? If the world was primitive, and didn’t have advanced humans and forges, how did…”
“He was part Oni, and part Dragon.” Jay said, his Lightning, he didn’t even notice he was doing it at first, was purple, then gold, as he mentioned the two.
That, was new. Coloured Lightning. He would have to test it later.
“He created… Everything. He didn’t create all sixteen realms, only one. Ninjago. The rest, happened, either from another being, or by itself. Don’t ask. It was a headache, to even write a report on it last time. Anyway~
After a while, he gave up the four elements. And after a while, many other Elements showed up, almost over night. There was a dozen or so, that we’ve dealt with, but… Not important till later.” He sighed.
“How many are there?”
“A lot.” He said, and leaned back slightly. Pinkie just watched on. She has a knowing look in her eye.
“But, that’s not what’s important.
After a while, of him having a calm time, the Overlord appeared.
It’s unknown what caused him, if he was just an Oni that found the world… Or something more.
He was taken down, as was the Stone army. Ninjago, was split in half, half submerged in the sea.
After a while, everything calmed down.” Jay sighed. “And I’m going to skip a lot here.”
“Why?” Rarity asked. “This is so much more interesting than our world?”
“Uh, not from around here.” Twilight said.
“And because… For quite a while? It was peaceful. Until, the Serpentine, and Chen’s cult came into be- Wait…”
“What?”
“How the fuck, was Chen still alive?” Jay suddenly asked.
“Who?”
“Guy with a snake cult. Actually kicked off the war, or rekindled it… And trained Garmadon, when he was younger… And it wasn’t recent…” He stopped.
How was Chen alive!? Wait, he had to be taken into the Departed realm… Every guard even said I was the one Chen feared most…
“I’m not going to think too hard about that.” Jay muttered, with a sigh. “Sorry, just… Misako, is like, in her sixties now, and Chen was older, by a fair amount, when he told Garm to do the letter… And no, I’m not thinking it’s weird, they’re kinda immortal, to some degree. Chen, was… Mortal, I think?” He muttered.
“So, don’t mess with a guy called Chen, got it.”
“Yeah. Serpentine wars. Five main factions.
The first, and possibly most dangerous, is the Hypnobri, they can hypnotise, like the name says. Read the tin.” He shrugged.
“So, they can turn others to their side.” Celestia said, noting that down. Ok, that’s good to note. Jay thought. That she’s the one taking more note, on the threats.
“Yeah. Sleeper agents too. Their the most dangerous, as… Even elemental Masters, can get turned. Cole, and his Grandfather both got Hypnotized and turned to the enemy. Cole, for like, a week or so. His grandfather, the war.” He sighed.
“So, what? They eyes? A tail, rattling?” Celestia asked. “I am taking it, they are not normal snake size?”
“Nope. Human shape, and all. Also yes, eyes. They have a weird rattle thingy, but it’s different for all. Only the leaders, or generals, are able to have tails, and it will change, to who is clearly the leader.” Jay explained.
“So why was I growing a tail?”
“Oh, that’s cool~” Sci-Twi muttered. “That deems that there is a sort of magic, that interferes with the biology of them, that changes them. Is it passive, or active? Because if it’s passive, then it would happen either as the person dies, or the roll is given up. If it’s active, does that mean all have a chance of being a leader? How is it determined? Is it power scaling… Ignore the pun, or by trails, or by tests?” She rapid fired those questions, Jay sweat dropped.
“Uh… Ok, let me try… Ok, so there are Trial by combat, for the title. There is a staff. Might be also tests, in a safer way. They have a massive healing factor. I think any of them can do it. There is also power scaling, and no, I won’t ignore the pun. And, as far as I can tell? Are a lot like real snakes. The magi side, I have no clue.” He muttered.
“Wait till she learns about the other powers.”
“So, is the Hypnosis powerful?” Celestia asked, writing all that down.
“… Sort of. I don’t think it can work on machines, or by recordings. That would be… Hell, to be honest.” Jay muttered. “Ve- Uh…”
“Venomari!” He said, with a strained grin. “Doesn’t work on machines, but is an acid trip.” He explained. “They often have vials, or jars of the stuff, stored up. If they leave it for too long, then it starts to hurt them.” He explained.
“So, Hallucinogens, and good glass makers?” Sci asked, with a tilt of the head.
“Yep. They tend to be fairly easy, as they rely on that, but certain things can stop it.” He explained. “Like, say… If you were blind, or had eye protection, or were a robot.” He explained. “… Most the time?” He muttered, knowing that Zane was effected once, but wasn’t another…
“Most?”
“I mean… Robots are a hard thing to understand. Anyway~” He then held up three fingers.
“Constricti. They, are… Well, they can borrow into the earth.” He said, and a few held up hands. “I know, sounds like one could have control over the Earth element, right? Well, sorta? They can spin really fast, and even break the hardest of stone.” He explained. A few held up hands.
“Yes, they are also able to constrict air ways. Either by hands, or… Magic. I don’t know why people keep saying Clouse was the only magic guy around. Only one has a tail, too.” He muttered.
“Fair. Please, keep going.” AJ said, with a gleam in her eyes.
“Yeah. This is the most I’ve learned, ever.” Dash said.
“Huh, if those two are listening…” Rarity muttered.
“And the Cuties have been pretty silent.” Twi said, nodding at the three.
“Oh, guess so.”
“Then, we get… Urgh, we’re onto the Fangpire.” Jay muttered. “I have the hardest time even looking or thinking about one.”
“Huh?”
“Ok, so like… One time, they attacked my families junk yard.” He explained. AJ got a dark look in her eyes. “Yeah. Apparently, that made all tribes, and Lloyd a little scared of me? With how well I was doing everything that day. The others also learned, that I mess around for reasons, such as, making them underestimate me.” Jay sighed.
“Keep expectations low, and they don’t bother you.” Fluttershy said, nodding her head. Before eeping, and hiding behind her hair.
“Yeah. Like the name suggests?” Jay flexed his hand, and scratched his scales. Everyone was looking at them. “They can turn others, into snakes.” He bared his fangs.
A few leaned away, while Fluttershy and Sci both leaned forwards. As did Sunset and Celestia.
“Yeah. Didn’t happen that day. No, we cured them.” He said, and rubbed his hand. “The venom. Goddamn if it isn’t potent. Even being dead for a few decades, or even centuries, they have enough venom, to turn another. One bite, and… Scales are the first thing to show. They start where you were bitten.” He explained.
“Then, fangs grow. After the scales spread. And, for me? A tail.” He sighed.
“As in… The special, kind of Tail?” Pinkie asked. “Instead of the normal kind of tail. I mean, there isn’t really a normal type of tail for a human, well, kind of. I mean people do tend to do weird things, and have weird wants. Especially in that CRAZy shop I found. I swear I saw Sunset and Sci-Twi in there, but I could be mistaken, as I thought I saw Fluttershy in there, and that would never happ-“ Pinkie got cut off, by a very red Celestia, and a few looks of horror.
“Thank you, Ms Pie. Jay, please continue?”
“Right~” He nodded. “So… Yeah. Fangpires, are… They are a little bit of a sore spot for me.” He explained.
“And the last. Anacondrai.” He sighed.
“Anacondrai?”
“Yeah. Big, mean, and very urple. But can be bleached.” He noted. “They are… They are the most dangerous.” Celestia looked at him.
“Also, the reason for a cult existing.” Everyone blinked at that.
“Cult?”
“We’ll get there, when we get there.” Jay explained. “First thing?
They are tough. Scales, that can take a beating. Even a sharp sword is not going to do much. Bludgeoning can only go so far, before they just stab you.
Jaws that can unhinge far enough to swallow a fully grown man.
A body, that can just… Turn invisible.” He sighed, as they looked scared.
“And, they all died out.” A few looked confused.
“Ho-“
“They got locked away. But, I think the place they did, wasn’t always a desert. I think, the water dried up, and the animals moved.” He curled up slightly. “Honestly, sometimes… Sometimes I wonder what happened, or what Serpentine I would have become, if it wasn’t a brand new one.” He muttered.
“I don’t think there’s much point wondering about that.” Celestia muttered. The rain was still going hard. Jay winced, knowing a few had to run home or call for help, because of it.
“So, what happened after?”
“In short? Jesus had to fight Lucifer.” A few blinked.
“They have Christianity where you’re from?” Rarity asked, confused.
“Eh, we have Japanese, English and Ninjargen.” He shrugged. “It’s weird.” He shrugged. “A lot of… Er, lack of a better term? Human stuff, makes it’s way over.” He stated, and held out his palm.
“So, Master Wu.” He noticed a few have odd looks. “I know, a normal name for once.” That got a few grins. “But, he had a brother called Garmadon, so don’t relax just yet.” A few sighed.
“Wu, was… An off shoot of creation. Garmadon, of Destruction.” He smiled. “But at the time? Garmadon was all about creating a better world. Wu… He sowed destruction with ever move he made.
Never trust a snake, and the future wars, was because of Asphera. He fucked up making that friend.
The Devourer, the Greatist Snake of all. Poisoned Garmadon, and stared growing, as soon as Wu refused to collect it himself.
Elements, not siding willingly, with him, because of him using them.
People, not being fond.
Life to him, was almost a chess match, for a few years. And then, he and Garmadon, got a morality call, when their father passed.” He sighed. “Well, they call it that. He honestly can just leave the Land of the Departed.” He explained.
“So, they decided to make friends. Garmadon, even fell in love… Wu did so, with the same woman. Garmadon got the girl, and stuff.” He shrugged. “Don’t ask. It was weird. And it was def, after Chen. Quite a few years, actually.” He muttered.
“I really have no logical reason for Chen being alive, or his Cultists, other than, they did a crack pot spell.” He noted. “Anyway~
After that, the Time Twins wanted to take over.” Everyone raised hands.
“Yes, they had powers over time. No, they did not have the exact same powers. One, had the power to stall, and rewind. Another with the power to fast forward, or slow-mo everything… It doesn’t work very well on me.” Jay said, looking at the ceiling.
“That’s… Not hard to believe, as Lightning is often depicted as a follower, or leader of the Speed types. Such as the Flash, or many other things.” Celestia noted, and blushed as everyone stared at her in shock.
“Hey, we teachers like to relax too.” Jay said, with a shrug. Everyone looked at him. “Uh, spoilers. Let’s just get into this.
Twins of time. They got defeated due to… Chrono, steel.” He sighed. “That’s a pun.” Scootaloo giggled.
“Ya knows, anyone else finding it odd how easy we’re taking this?”
“I’m used to weird shit.” Sci said, with a shrug.
“I taught her the weird stuff.”
“I have the Goddess of the Sun, as what is basically my mother.” Twi said.
“… I’m not even getting into my life.” Scoot said, with lidded eyes.
“I’m an Apple.”
“Ditto.”
“Please. I have seen weirder shit in my hen- ANIME!” Rarity corrected with a big blush.
“I’ve caught her watching the Anime.” Belle said, with a shrug.
“… I…” Fluttershy hid behind her hair.
“Eh, I find it interesting.” Dash shrugged.
“Pinkie’s Pinky.” Jay said, shrugging.
“… You live with Luna, and play her games for more than five seconds…” She shrugged.
“I like fanfiction…” Fluttershy whispered.
“So, nothing’s new?” Jay asked. “Good.
So, after that, the Time Twins came back, and two of my friends came back in time to stop them from messing with history.” That made a few people blink.
“Ok, do not mess with you or your friends.” Bloom said, with a nod.
“Yeah. Couple years later. And Garmadon was cast into the underworld, after trying to take the Weapons of Spinjitzu.” He explained. Celestia sighed, but nodded.
“So, after a number of years. Wu found us.” Jay said, and he sighed. “It’s late, and everyone’s needing to get home. Scoot, your parents actually back? I know your aunts are on a vaycay.” Jay asked.
“Uh… They did.” She said, with a nod.
“Ok, so Dashie. Let her stay with you tonight, they def didn’t stick around. Fluttershy, go with the two and make sure they eat more than just pizza or Take-out. Scoot’s growing, and Dash is an athlete, so they need better food than that.” Two hey’s sounded, but didn’t argue.
“I can do that.” She said, nodding.
“AJ Bloom, both of Ya’ll need ta get extra drinks, some Alcoholic for Celestia, because goddamn if she’s sober for the rest of it, then she’s not going to have the best time.” Jay explained.
“Roger! Also, more for us?”
“We’ll be talking for literal hours, so yee.” Jay nodded. “It’s… A very, very long story. I gave you the History, on it all. And this, took about an hour.” He said. He hasn’t talked that long since he was running a TV show. Or being a teacher.
“Right…”
“Everyone should probably get some rest. OH right. Rarity, you live in a boutique, right?”
“Yes?” She looked slightly confused.
“I might need to borrow some thread.” He said, holding up a torn suit. She gasped.
“Oh no darling, that needs a new fabric, not just a thread!” She gasped, looking at it.
“Right, before I get sucked into helping Rarity with twenty different outfits, Sunset.” He looked at her.
“Celestia, can you make her stay with you, cause like… It’s either you, or Sci-Twi. And she’ll have a hard time explaining to everyone in her house, why there is an adult her.” Jay said, with a slight snicker.
The four looked at each other.
“… You do-“
“I do.” She said. “And I will.”
“I mean… Yeah, can’t exactly hide a whole ass human being…” Sci muttered.
“You can, it just takes a few invisibility spells, and being si- I have said too much.” Twi stated, looking at everyone’s shocked looks.
“Library close, ya know that right?” Jay asked, and everyone looked like peace was restored.
“Knew ya for ten minutes, and that freaking tracks.
“Darling, how did so many get this… Damaged?” She asked, looking at all of them.
“Urgh, can you stop it with the name? Please? It’s weird. Makes me feel like I’m five, not –“ He didn’t say his actual age, but it must around hers, right?
“Sorry, Jay.” She said, the name almost foreign on everyone’s lips, as… It was almost too normal. There must be something about it. Swetie Belle was looking at some of the others.
“Oh that…” She held up something, that was not… Normal looking. “Man, I missed that one.” He said, holding it with more care than she’s ever held a dress before.
“It’s my first Gi.” He said, as he moved it around slightly. Brown rope, was holding a golden emblem. It was a cloud, with three lightning bolts. “Man, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?” He asked it, perhaps the symbol? “Man, when did I ever think Gold was a good idea. I’m an inventor for Spinjitzu’s sake.” He laughed.
“I must say, it does seem to suit you… But isn’t the point of it, that you can hide?”
“One of them is dressed in white. And despite what it looks like… Stealth is my greatest forte.” He said, and slinked away. Rarity blinked, and almost lost sight of him.
“That’s so cool~” Belle said, looking right at him. “Can ya teach me?” She asked.
Dear heavens no. Please, have mercy. She could hardly find Sweetie on a good day. Especially in a crowd.
“Naw. It’s… It’s a me thing.” He said, with a soft, but sombre smile. “Anyway. Yeah, I missed this suit. Man, were those the easy days…” He sighed, in almost bliss.
“How long have ya been doing this?” Belle asked, with more bravery, and less tack than Rarity could ever wish for.
“… Two. Two years.” He stated. “But… A lot, happened there.” He said. “For me? It was three.” He muttered. “Maybe four. Game time, was weird.” He said, and looked at another one.
“Oh, a Dragon? Is this when you obtained… The weapon? I assume you did, as you have it on you.” She said, pointing at the one on the table.
“eh… Kinda? We got it, when we got our dragons.” She stilled.
Actual…
“Scoot’s gonna love that~!” Belle sang, with glee.
“I know. Man, do I miss Wisp.”
“What happened?”
“Oh. He merged into a giant four headed dragon. Then he got killed by Dragon hunters.” Jay said, as he looked at the back. His Symbol, showing proudly.
Ah, a lot happened In two years, seems to be an understatement.
“So, how’d ya know about Scoot?” Belle asked.
“Trust me. I know, when someone’s not been In a stable home for a bit.” He muttered. “Also, she was nervous, and didn’t like the idea of me talking about it.” He shrugged. “But, other than that? Nothing.” He said, and looked at the next one. “I didn’t really know anything.”
“The one with metal? All. Are armoured, I know. But this one… The metal, is different, and difficult to move in, correct?”
“Sort of. You see this?” He said, noting the hinge. Ah. “This allows me to swing things around. And a defence against, certain enemies.” He stated.
“And these?” She asked, holding up, what looked to be a Kimono, that was blue and black. It had the Yen symbol on it.
“Ah, the Elemental Robes. Those, are special.” He said. “They all are, but these… These have this.”
He held up a handle, that was a Dragon’s head. It didn’t have anything, and looked almost like half the Nunchaku.
“What is it?” Belle asked. “It looks cool!”
“It’s… A sword.” He said, as thunder boomed, and a blue blade slowly formed, she could see the lightning knotting and twisting together, until it formed a solid blade.
She gasped, and looked at it, while Jay turned it around.
“It looks like stained glass?” She said, as Jay tapped the blade.
“Yeah, it does, don’t it?” He asked. He twirled it around. Sweetie nodded.
“Yeah… How’d you get it?”
“… Spoilers.” He said, but smiled all the same. “Damn, that was the first time I lost control, and destroyed things that shouldn’t be possible.” He said, and placed it on his belt… He looked at the next.
“Techno Robes. Goddamn, that was… Well, let’s just say, a crap ton of Robots.” He stated, and held a… Weird looking weapon. The bottom, looked sort of like a chainsaw, while the top, was a weird looking axe like thing, in a very light blue.
“One of four… Might have stolen the other three, wait. Why am I bothered with telling you that? You’re British. You do not care.” Jay said, and Rarity gave him, the look.
“Just because you are correct, doesn’t mean I like the stereotype, Jay.” She said.
“Fair.” Jay shrugged. “But, there’s three types of this. One, a staff. Another, Kurisagama, and the last? A simple sort of axe type.” He explained. He grinned. “Man, did I miss the feeling.”
“So, can you please tell us about the others?” Rarity asked. “It is quite interesting to learn why you have them.”
“Yeah, sounds like a good way to pass the time.” Jay said, shrugging.
“The next was given to me by a cult leader.” Both blinked.
“Please tell me that was a bad joke?” Belle whimpered.
“Nope. That was… One of three? I think it was three?” He muttered. “As was the next.” He said, holding up the next.
“This, is the Tournament, and this is the Jungle. This doesn’t have sleeves, and is more… Well, it’s more for training, now a days. And this, is for a Jungle like environment.”
“Ah, that’s… Not very good.” Rraity muttered. “You realise that, right Darling?”
“Yeah, yeah. Next was the time Ghosts came to try and kill everyone.” He said, holding up… Well, that’s just straight up looking like Armour.
“First time we went to war.” He said. “Had to fight for control over the Wind, and… Well, with half my power acting funny, the other half was trying to make up for it.” He explained. “It’s made of pure Deepstone. Allowing me to touch, and harm ghosts, even with just a punch.” He explained, and shrugged.
“Well, that’s nice Darling.” She said, smile slightly strained now.
“Yeah. The next… Well, let’s just say, Pirates, and Djinn, make me go feral now.” He said, with a harsh look, but smiled softly at it. “But, I still have a fondness for it. It helped me get closer to Nya.” He explained.
“What is it?”
“Destiny.” He said, with a soft smile, as he lightly brushed the Symbol. “It means I master Aitjitzu.” He explained. “Man, have I missed that.” He said, with a sigh.
“Airjitzu?”
“Allows one to almost fly, for a time.” He explained. “Learned with the Ghosts.” He explained.
“Next one, uh… Time Twins, came back.” A roll of the eyes. Quite, she could tell that was made for defence. More so than any other.
“Then uh, we had to deal with a cult… Again.” He said, shrugging. “And uh, a lot more.”
“This, is for the Day of the Departed. Or, remembering the dead.” He said, holding one that was almost a combo of the previous ones. He then pointed at two.
She looked at the second one, almost the same, but… A little different. One, was damaged, but… Well, defensive?
“One, is from our time being hunted. The other, was… When we were resisting against a lot.” He said, and sighed. “I’m not fond of these suits.” He explained.
“Dragon Master. Sometimes I use this when Riding a dragon. Means I don’t need to wear a saddle, ya know? Could probably use a horse or something too.” He muttered.
“This? It looks like your second one.” Sweetie said, holding it up.
Jay smiled, with a whimsy kind. Like a married man, thinking about the wedding, or proposal.
“It’s the Legacy. Man, these suits… They’re not for fighting. More, spiritual, in essence.” He said. “And, the suit I proposed to Nya in.” He said.
OH! HOLY SHIT!?
“You’re married!?” Sweetie asked, with wide eyes.
“Yeah. Yeah. Happened… With a bad situation, but, there was light.” He said, whimsical.
“Urgh. You’re acting like every time M- Rarity talks about AJ.” What was she about to say? My sister? Probably.
“Sorry. Uh, this Gi, is called Armour.” He explained. “It’s a sort of standard.” He explained.
“This one?”
“Ah, that one. Yeah. A second Legacy? I guess. Didn’t say much more, it’s like… A weird combo, of Tournament, Elemental, and Techno.” He explained. A new one was shown.
“Ah, Digi robes. Ah~ That was a nice one.” He said. He pulled at his hoodie. “Honestly, probably my fave, cause It’s got cool eyes. Want me ta show ya?”
He spun around, a small Tornado flared, and both girls looked away. And then, the suit was on.
They eyes. Like a mask that moved, ya know the ones, right? Well, this one conveyed happiness, and laughter.
“Yeah. I love this suit. And it can do this!” He tapped a button, and it was… A rockstar suit, with the blue skin, and white hair.
Looking even more like Rainbow Dash than ever.
“So, it’s a Gamer outfit?”
“Yeah. Prime Empire. It’s… A long story.” He said, waving.
“So, what are the last?” She asked, hoping to make him smile.
“Ah, right.” He looked at them, and pointed in turn.
“Hero Outfit.” He said, holding one up, that was errily similar to his third outfit. “It’s when I was the Hero, in a far off kingdom.”
“This, one. The last, before coming here… Fugitive… The others, are just random. Almost one off missions.” He stated, not giving them a second glance. “They don’t hold that much importance to me. Honestly, I don’t care as much.” He said, but held one.
It was… Almost like Scuba gear. She wondered why he is holding it longer, than he said he would.
“So, how’d you think the others are getting on?” Jay asked.
“Hmm… I only Met Twilight today, right?” She then clarified. “Both of them.” She clarified.
“Sunset, is def trying not to spill the beans to her mother.” Jay snickered.
“Yeah. And Both Fluttershy and Dash, are the doting mother figures for Scoots.” Rarity chuckled.
“Oh yeah. Urgh, I wonder how everyone is actually doing.”
-
Sunset sighed as she sat on the couch, Celestia sitting on a chair, looking at her.
She would take anger, or resentment, any day of the week. She’s used to that.
Not, pity, and sadness, and understanding.
She doesn’t deserve that. Not from any Celestia.
“What did Jay say about Time Travel? You got… Flung forwards?” She asked, and Sunset sighed.
“As far as I know, yes. He did say that. And it makes sense. The way this Twilight is around her Celestia, is… It’s like mother and daughter. My thoughts were… She replaced me, in days. And, I was never important to her.” She curled up slightly. Celestia looked like she wanted to do, or say something, but stayed silent.
“So, I took a crown. You know the dance? It’s for my Twi. Urgh, even saying it, I realise how bad an idea it was… but it would have fit her dress, so well.” She sighed.
“It sounds, that she wasn’t the parent you needed.” Celestia said.
“… She should have been. I made it diff-“
“You didn’t make it difficult.” Celestia tried. “She should have done more.”
“She learned from the mistake of trying to train me.” She said, bitterly.
“Sunset Shimmer.” Celestia said, voice stern. “There is nothing wrong with you young lady. Honestly, if I could, I would adopt you right now, and call myself your mother. You are an amazing child, and deserve a lot more than you have.”
“… Really? After everything I’ve done?” She asked, not moving.
“Sweetheart. What you have done, is… Preschool, to what others have.” Celestia promised. “And, before you ask. I did mean it. I would be proud, to call you daughter.” Sunset smiled.
“Uh… Thanks… Mom?” She said, sheepish. Celestia just smiled.
“So, how old is my new daughter?”
“Seventeen.”
“So, you ran when you were fourteen?”
“Yeah…” Celestia just pulled her into a hug.
-
Bloom sighed, as she looked at the clear night sky.
Monsters. Gods. Weapons that could destroy world, if fallen into the wrong hands.
She listened, and Applejack walked up beside her, the padded feet barely making a noise, but hearable, in the quiet night.
“So, long day?” She snorted.
“Understatement.” She sighed, and both stopped, as they heard a soft groan, and a small bang of metal. Quiet, and wouldn’t be heard during the day.
“Who the hell…” AJ seethed. “Is messing around on our farm?”
“Dunno. Let’s go see.” Bloom said, and the two got on some rainboots, and ran towards them.
When they got to the barn, housing a tractor, and the Truck, they didn’t expect to see Jay.
“How in the fresh hay, did ya get ere?” AJ asked, as Jay looked at them, from the engine of the Tractor.
“Uh… Ya’ll know I got teleportation, right?” Jay asked, as he flipped the Wrench. Bloom tilted her head.
“How’d ya fix it? There was a giant hole in the side?”
“Ah, that’s the cool part.” Jay made Lightning. Actual Lightning, dance across his pointer and thumb. “Lightning, is very, very hot. Ya know how it turns things to ash? It can also melt metal.” He explained. “Or, meld it together.” He said, and Bloom saw the very fixed cracks.
“Oh, at’s cool~” She said, and Jay grinned.
“Heh, ya should have seen my bike. A beaut, if I do say so myself. Course, dad helped with tha one.” He stopped. “Er, He helped, with that one.”
“You have an accent?”
“If I get stressed enough? Or tired? Yes. Or, Comfortable,” he explained, his head being rubbed by two fingers.
She found the outfit, to be very, very different.
It looked kinda like that Blacksmith she met that one time.
“So, this is a new one. What’s it for?”
“Eh, more protective, than a few others.” He shrugged. “Hey, ya wanna learn how to make it work again?” He grinned.
Both glanced at each other. “Sure. As soon as we get some food in ya. Yer dead on yer feet.” AJ said.
“I-“
“Please, just listen to mah mahm, and get something to eat damnit.” Bloom sighed, with a heavy voice.
Silence rang in her ears.
“Uh, sorry for swearing, momma.” She said, scratching her arm. What’s she forgetting?
Jesus, she’s tired. She needs a snack, and a good five hour sleep.
What’s the time? Three in the morning?
“It’s… It’s fine, Sugar-cube.” Momma said, sounding funny. Was she off put by the swear? Naw, she probably can just tell how tired Bloom is. That’s it.
“ER, I’ll have something to eat, then let you guys sleep. I’ve got some things to do, anyway.” Jay muttered. Both nodded, Momma still a little off-put. Was swearing that bad?
“What kinda things?” Momma asked, sounding slightly more normal.
“Eh. Surprises. Also, making sure all my weapons are ok. I get the feeling, I’ll be needing them soon.” He stated. Bloom turned to him, and tilted her head.
“Why?”
“Somethin always comes up.” Jay said wisely. “And the fact that there are multiple ways to get into this universe, is not a good thing.”
“Well, momma will protect me, right mom?” Momma coughed, and Bloom patted her back.
“Uh, yeah. Yeah. I’ll always protect ya, little flowah.” She said, hugging her. Bloom grinned.
“Heh. Well, better get something to eat, I’m hungry. I need to regrow my heart.” Jay said.
“Uh, excuse meh?”
“No beat beat in this damn chest.” Jay said, and Bloom placed her hand on the left side.
Nothing.
Momma did it too. She had a very pale face.
“… that ain’t normal.”
“I’m a snake. If we can’t get enough to eat, we eat our own hearts, to survive for like, another week.” Jay said, shrugging.
“Oh, that’s… Actually kinda cool.”
“Yeah, keep in mind? It’s only my powers, that is keeping me alive.”
“Still cool.” Bloom said.
“Yeah.” Jay admitted. “My powers are really cool, aren’t they?”
-
“Morning. God, what a day yesterday.
Hey, Sunset. It’s a Gadget Girl. I uhm… I’m sorry, I didn’t talk much yesterday…
Sigh.
I’m not sure what to make of it all.
It was hard to believe magic, and ponies exist. And then you showed me, the very cute form.
And then, Jay Walker showed up.
He’s teaching. He’s teaching better, than a damn lot of teachers I’ve had.
Why is that a thing?
But, that’s not important.
I’m trusting both you, and him. But, mainly you.
If you trust him. I trust him.
I… I love you, with all my heart. Because, you’re the one, that completes me.
Yours, forever, Twilight Sparkle.”
She sighed, as she sent the audio log. They love to do them with each other.
“So, you really are dating.” The adult one said, from the door. “Come on. Your Parents think this is Time Travel. Sadly, it isn’t.” She sighed sounding and looking more tired than Twi felt.
“Ah, right.” Twi looked at Adult Twi, and sighed.
She wonders how her parents are going to react…
“So, there’s two… What the hell Twili? Did you get that Time Machine to work?”
“… No.” Twi muttered, dejected. “She’s from another universe.”
“…” Everyone stared at the other.
“Well, that’s weird. Hey, quick question… How’s the us over there?” Armour asked.
“Uh…” A-T looked away. “Shining’s Married to Cadance.” She said.
“… You’re married, to my dean.” Twilight gave an unimpressed look to her older brother.
“… To be fair Twi, she pushed it…”
HE-!
“You, are actually married to…” Well, Twilight wasn’t going to come out of her room, ever again. “I’m transferring to Canterlot High.” She said, suddenly.
At least she’ll be with her girlfriend there.
“No, you won’t. This school is good.”
“Yeah. And I’m not exactly wanting to go to school, with my damn sister in law.” She said, rocking back and forth in a ball motion.
“Well, what do you do here? Cause my Shining is the captain of the Princess’ guard.” A-T explained.
“Wait, there’s royalty in your world?”
“Yeah. Everypony just kinda goes along with it, but Princess Celestia doesn’t really care too much, more of making sure laws are upheld. Princess Cadence, is what is considered Aphrodite or Cupid… She has powers over love, and Princess Luna just came back after… Well, she kinda went insane, but it’s cool now.”
“Everypony?” Twi made a cut it out motion.
“Yeah, everyone is a Pony.” A-T explained. “Alicorns, Unicorns, Earth ponies, Pegasi. I became an Alicorn recently. And the rest of you, are Unicorns.” She explained.
“You mentioned Shining Armour. But not us…”
“I haven’t seen you two, in a while.” She said. “Uh, cause I moved in with my mentor…” She said.
“Oh… How long?”
“I was seven.” She said, rubbing her arm. “And uh… She became my mother. I still saw them. But, hardly ever.”
…
“So, like… We should get going…” She said, looking at the time. It was midday. “And don’t you have work?”
“Eh, I got a lunch break. Also, there was a call a few houses down.” He grinned.
“Uh, what?”
“He’s a cop.”
“What’s a cop?”
“Police Officer?” A confused look.
“Up holding the law… Most the time.” He said, darkly.
“Oh, like the Royal Guards. Or me and my friends.” Twilight said.
“Uh, what do you do?”
“Fight gods.” Jay said, floating above them.
Three people screamed. Twilight just stared. Both did.
“How’d you get in here?” Twilight asked.
“Eh, I could probably go toe to toe, with Discord.” He said. “I’m not normal. Also, the lock was really, really easy to pick.”
“Of course it was…” Adult sighed.
“I would have to arrest you, but I can’t arrest someone flying. How would that even go down?”
“Fair. Thanks, Mr Officer. I don’t have the best record.” He whispered.
“Huh?”
“I don’t exist here.” He explained. “I’m from another, another universe.” He explained, and made lightning crackle along his arm. “Oh, by the way, we’ll meet in the same room.” He said to the two.
“Thanks, Jay.”
“Make sure that Sunset doesn’t skip.”
“Thanks Jay.” She stressed. Jay laughed, it was… It was weirdly like Sunset’s. And he vanished with a crack.
“So, that just happened…” Shining muttered. “I’m going back to work. At least that makes sense.”
-
Bloom opened her eyes, her head not pounding, so she didn’t accidentally drink alcohol again. But it was… Light. Like she didn’t get enough sleep.
She stayed lying down for a few seconds, listening to the soft, soft rain. Hardly anything, but would make sure the tree’s wouldn’t dry today, as it’s supposed to be hot…
Wait, it wasn’t supposed to rain. She shrugged it off. Doesn’t really matter, does it?
She wonders what the others are doin.
“Heya sugar! Morning.”
“How the hell, are you even awake?” She asked.
“Language, Hun. And cause I’m used to doin more on less.”
“Eyup.” Big Mac said, with a sigh.
“You’ve said worse.”
“Yeah, but yer young.”
“You’re not that old.”
“Old enough.” She said, with a shrug.
“Maaahm~!” She whined. “I ain’t a baby.”
“I know Hun, bit yer still young.” Wait…
Did she just say mom!? Please, tell her that Bloom didn’t just call AJ mom!?
“Somethin wrong Petal?” She heard.
“I’m… Ahm Fine.” She lied.
“Yer looking off sugar.” Bloom moved away from the caring hand.
“… Hey, come on. We gotta get tah school anyhow.”
IN the car, the older girl sighed.
“So, yeh noticed callin me mahm.” The blonde stated.
“… Yeah.” She whimpered.
“I don’ hate it.” She said, honestly. “You called me that, most of last night.” She spoke, not taking her eyes off the road.
“… Really?” She asked.
“Yeah, really. If ya wanna.”
“I… Thanks, momma.” She whispered.
-
Fluttershy woke up, to her cuddling Rainbow tightly.
“…” She stayed still. She remembered what happened yesterday, and that Scoot was taking the guest room. She stared at the love of her life, and planted a soft kiss on the forehead.
“Morning.” She said, as Dash opened her eyes.
“Morning… Better get Scoot’s up, huh?” Fluttershy nodded, and Dash nuzzled closer. “In a minute.”
When they did get up and dressed, they just stood at the door, as Scoot’s was hugging a pillow.
Dash picked up the carelessly discarded leg, and sat on the bed.
“Scootaloo, it’s time to get up.” Fluttershy called from the door, and the girl snuggled down.
“Don wanna go ta school mother…” She mumbled. Fluttershy, despite her name, isn’t the most shy. She’s just quiet. But that. That just made her hide behind her hair, and turn redder than Big Mac.
“Heh.” Dash laughed. But stayed pretty silent. “Kiddo, come on. We gotta get up.” She said, slightly pushing the girls shoulder.
“NOO~”
“Don’t you wanna learn?”
“I learn from you mom.” Fluttershy grinned at the previously blue girl. Now, the very red and blushing girl, just glared slightly.
“Come on. We gotta have breakfast. Flutters making breakfast.” Fluttershy deserves that. And she doesn’t mind.
At least it will be healthy, and fill them up.
“… Please tell me that I didn’t…” Scoots was more awake now.
“Call me mom, and Flutters Mother? Yes.”
“Fuuu-“
“Language.” Fluttershy said, with a slight giggle.
“Sorry…”
“It’s cool, kiddo.” Dash said. “We ain’t gonna hate ya for it.”
That’s what Fluttershy loves about Dash. She might be brash, and a little rude. But, she known what to say, most the time. Sometimes, she doesn’t, but sometimes… Sometimes she can just say all the right things.
“… I shouldn’t.”
“Why?” Dash asked. A reversal of being a kid, asking an adult, ain’t it?
“Cause I have parents. They… They love me, right? They’re just busy!”
“In another city. And all School records have either your aunts, or us on speed dial, due to needing us.” Dash spoke with a calm voice, but Shy could see the starts of an inner anger.
“Bu… Isn’t it wrong? I shouldn’t.”
“You can. And It’s not wrong. If you think of us like that, I’m not going to stop you, and I know Fluttershy isn’t either.” She nodded, letting the two know, that she’s on their side.
“Thanks… Mom.” She said, giving Dash a hug. Fluttershy rushed over, and hugged the two a little tighter.
“Come on.” Dash said, as they broke off, and handed Scoots the leg. “Let’s get this on, and have something to eat.”

“Do you have everything?”
“Urgh, this is the seventh time you’ve asked me mom!”
“I know darling, but you are tired, and tend to forget things.”
“… I’ll be right back.”
“You forgot?”
“My… Yes.” Rarity chuckled, as the girl pulled down her skirt a bit more.
“Well, I’ll be waiting for you Sweetheart.” She said.
A bang, and she sighed.
“DID I JUST CALL YOU MOM!?”
Rarity thought about what she said.
“YES!”
“SORRY!”
“IT’S FINE DARLING!” She called up. When Sweetie came down, Rarity just hugged her.
“Honestly, I was wanting you to do it.” Rarity admitted. “Cause Honestly? I would adopt you if I could, in a heart beat. They have hardly even seen you.” She said, brushing the hair slightly.
“Thanks… I’m Sorry.” She said.
“Darling. As I said, I would. Perhaps Jay could point me in the direction of a good lawyer. He seems to have three on speed dial…” She muttered.
