Jack's Equestrian Research

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Early one morning at the home of Jack McCallister, the fourteen year old evil boy genius was in his basement lab asleep on a sofa muttering in his sleep about being the world's ruler. Ever since that day he met Spike and the girls he became obsessed with wanting to harness their magic and the land in which they originated from called Equestria. Luckily for him, he had secretly scanned their magical signatures that day he captured them before they defeated and escaped him, and since then began running dimensional scans throughout the endless void of the multiverse for the source using his Multidimensional Scanner.

Unfortunately, it was easier said than done for Jack. The multiverse was enormous and had been running scans for more than a week. With every failed universe scan Jack started getting more frustrated and cranky, and it didn't help that his mother was constantly invading his personal space.

As Jack slept, his scanner was on auto and had been searching the universes as Jack slept. Suddenly after scanning three more universes it stopped on the fourth one as the words 'Match Found' flashed on the genius' computer monitor.

One of the Mecha-Jacks seeing this rushed over to his sleeping master, and shook him, “Master! Master, wake up! Wake up, you have to see this!”

Jack groaned, as he rolled over facing his robot, “What have we talked about these early wake up calls?” he said crankily.

“I apologize, sir. But the scanner's found a match!”

At the sound of that, Jack's eyes opened wide as he got off his sofa and rushed over to the monitor and saw what was flashing on screen. He smirked deviously, before turning to the Mecha-Jack that woke him, “Make some coffee.”

“Right away, sir.” the robot left to do his job, as Jack took a seat at his command chair and started scanning the universe.

“Equestria, I found you!” he laughed maniacally.


Later on, Jack stood before his robots with a backpack on and addressed his robot minions, “I'll only be away for a day, and until then you will await my return. And should my mother inquire my whereabouts, what do you do?”

One of the robots played an audio message, “Gone dumpster diving for salvageable tech, be back later.”

“Excellent,” Jack smirked, as he pulled out a ray and types in some coordinates into it. It projected a portal before them, as the boy spoke to his followers, “I have the coordinates for Equestria set for my portal ray. With any luck it'll take me right where I need to be.”

“Sir, what if you're discovered by Spike or any of the girls?” a robot asked.

“Don't worry, I always have a plan,” Jack smirked, “Be back later.” he turned to the portal and stepped through it. The portal closed upon Jack's departure.

In Equestria outside Canterlot, a portal appeared and out stepped Jack, “Ah, I made it.” he told himself.

Jack began to feel his body hoping the dimensional travel didn't result in him missing any limbs or such. When he felt his forehead he felt something sticking out of it, “Either I got something sticking out of me, or I just grew a very smooth and pointed zit,” he then touched his nose and realized it didn't feel like his nose, “My nose feels a lot bigger too.” he felt his face that felt like horse fur. He then looked down seeing something red and hairy behind him. He tugged on it and gasped, before realizing it was attached to him when he found himself wiggling it. He looked closer and saw it was an equine tail that matched his hair color.

Desperate to see his reflection, he looked to see a pond and ran to it. He looked at his reflection to see he had transformed into an anthro unicorn pony with a snow white colored coat. He yelped before falling back on his butt. He looked at his reflection in the pond again before feeling his pony face. What started off as shock suddenly changed into a look of delight.

“Yes! Looks like I won't be needing my camouflage watch after all. I can just blend in with the crowds now. Now then I need to find someplace to get knowledge of this land. Wonder where the nearest town is?” he looked and saw a sign while pointing down the road.

Jack looked at the sign, “Canterlot this way,” he looked down the road and saw up ahead was the entrance towards the kingdom, “Looks like I'm going to Canterlot.” he began running his way there, since he figured using his rocket pack would attract unwanted attention.

When he reached Canterlot he walked along the streets seeing various ponies ranging from unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies walking about doing every day things regular humans do in his world.

“These ponies sure don't behave any different than people. Although some of their attire just screams sophisticated,” he took note of several of the elite upper class ponies dressed so posh and refined, “Then again this is a royal city.”

When fanfare started playing, the ponies stood by the road sides and started to bow their heads. Jack looked curiously until he saw ponies dressed as guards were pulling a chariot, and the one sitting in it was Twilight.

Jack gasped in shock, “It's her! I got to split fast!” he quickly started running.

As Jack ran through several ponies past Twilight's chariot, the Princess of Magic stopped and looked back at the ponies feeling as if she saw a pony that stood out among the usual ponies she'd see in Canterlot. A pony that reminded her of someone not native to Equestria. Seeing nothing she looked forward again, while Fleur took notice of Twilight's distress.

“Twilight, what's the matter?” she asked in concern.

“Nothing, Fleur. I thought I saw something, but guess it was just my mind playing tricks. Come on we still got another round to greet the citizens.” she answered, as the guards continued to tow her chariot.

Jack stopped running as he stopped at a corner looked back seeing no pony was coming after him, “Good, she didn't see me. Maybe I should've changed into different clothes before I came here. No matter. I made it this far. Now to get to my mission to gather knowledge of this land and its magic. But where to go for it in a city like this?” he surveyed the scenery seeing various ponies walking around and various shop and cafes set up. As he scanned around passing a library in the distance, he looked back to see the building and he smirked, “There!” he ran for the library.


Upon entering the library he looked upon all the shelves crammed with books on the various levels, “Rapture,” he said in awe, “First thing I need to do is to get to know the history behind this land. So I'm off to history.” he searched the library map and found the location of the shelves which contained Pony history. He walked along the aisle grabbing several books on Equestria's history. With his arms loaded with a dozen books he walked his way to find a spot to sit down and read, until a voice spoke up.

“You know you can use your horn.”

Jack jumped before spinning around and saw a unicorn mare with thick rimmed glasses and what shocked him was she looked like Twilight's duplicate.

“What?” he asked trying to compose himself.

“If you want to carry more you can just simply use your horn.” she reminded Jack.

Jack realizing what unicorns were capable of with their horns spoke sheepishly, “Oh, right.” he attempted to use his horn to levitate another book, but due not being inexperienced with his new horn and its capabilities gave out and the book fell to the floor.

The mare looked concerned, “Are you alright?”

“I'm fine. Guess my horn's a bit tired today.” Jack lied.

“I see. Well, it can happen when you overly use it,” she admitted, “I'm Moondancer by the way. I've never seen you here at the library before. What's your name?”

“I'm Jack.” he introduced himself.

“Jack...”

“Just Jack.” he replied.

Moondancer giggled, “Well, 'Just Jack' want some help?”

“Uh, sure.” Jack answered feeling it would be best to get some help.

Moondancer used her magic to levitate some of the books Jack was collecting and noticed the common genre, “History? Are you a historian?”

“Not exactly, but I'm always curious about Equestria's history.”

“Well, I can help you with that.” she offered.

“Thanks.” Jack said with a side smirk.

Soon both were seated at one of the tables, as Jack was looking through book after book on history with Moondancer helping him along. What Moondancer didn't know was Jack had been wearing special contact lenses that were scanning every page of the books and recording them.

After combing through the books jack picked out, the two took a break, “Wow, it's so amazing to think the three pony tribes actually started out with so much hostility.” Jack said sounding partly surprised and yet familiar with the legend to keep up the ruse of him being a regular pony for the one helping him.

“I know, but thanks to the Fire of Friendship between the three tribe heads associates they were able to melt their leaders frozen hearts and drive the Windigo's away. And the ponies came together and made this land Equestria fit for all pony tribes.” Moondancer smiled.

“And all these enemies Equestria's been dealing with in these last years. Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek. Amazing the evil in this land.” Jack said feeling inspired by them.

Moondancer was confused by Jack's tone sounding like he was admiring the villains, but answered, “Yes, but thankfully with the brave work of my friend Twilight, Spike the Dragon, and the Elements of Harmony they were all defeated.”

“Yes, good for them.” Jack muttered to himself, “Well, I must thank you, Moondancer, for helping me with my studies.”

“No problem, Jack. I'm just glad I met some pony here who can read almost as fast as I can.” she said, as the two chuckled.

“Well, I better get going.” Jack said as he stood up.

“Will I see you around here again?” Moondancer wondered.

“It's a possibility. After all, there's still so much I want to learn.” he started walking off.

As Jack exited the library he thought to himself, 'That Moondancer's a good pony, not to mention hot. Too bad she's a bad judge of character.' he snickered, before ducking in the side of the library where no pony could see him. He pulled out his portal ray, set the destination back to his home dimension and projected a portal. He stepped into it and it closed.


Back at the lab, the robots were going about their daily tasks of keeping the lab cleaned, while also keeping guard against any intruders. When a portal appeared they all looked to it and prepared to fight, until they saw their creator step out. Jack looked himself over seeing he was human again.

“Sir, you're back.” one of the Mecha-Jacks said in relief.

“Did everything go according to your plan?” another asked.

Jack smirked, “No problem at all.”

Later that night, Jack had printed off various notes containing all the information from the history books he scanned at the library off his contact scanners and was at a desk looking them over.

“The entire land of Equestria is abundant in magic and not just from the elements of harmony themselves.” he said amazed.

“How so, master?” a robot asked before offering Jack a cola.

Jack took the cola and drank from it, “It's simple, unicorns have the ability to use magic, though not as powerful as some like this Twilight Sparkle of the three leaders Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence. But even the other pony tribes have their own kind of magic. The earth ponies have a natural connection to the land and enhanced strength. Pegasus ponies don't just fly, but they have the ability to control the weather. Without those abilities, the earth ponies couldn't attend to the land, and if the pegasi cannot fly and control the weather just imagine what it could do to Equestria's ecosystems.”

“Global deterioration.” the robot realized.

“Exactly. If I were to harness their abilities to tend the lands and control the weather I could have the world in the palm of my hand.” Jack smirked.

“And how would you be able to harness that much magic? Equestria's population is without a doubt just as large as earth's entire population.” the robot suspected.

Jack looked to his robot not at all worried by the facts, “I've studied two of Equestria's baddies that have the unique ability of absorbing energy. Queen Chrysalis and Lord Tirek,” he showed two illustrations of the two enemies from one of the books he scanned, “Tirek had the ability to assimilate magic from unicorns, and the stronger he got he was able to take the strength of earth ponies and the flight of the pegasi. Unfortunately Spike and the girls combined their energies and destroyed Tirek returning all the magic he stole.”

“And Chrysalis?” the robot inquired.

“She was the queen of Changelings, a shapeshifting species capable of feeding off the love for others. Such amazing creatures. Sadly she was imprisoned in a place called Tartarus, where the most dangerous creatures are sentenced to. But still she and her power of absorption could be of some use to me.”

“And how?”

“I'm sure she'd be dying to get a get out of jail free card with a little persuasion from yours truly.” Jack raised his brows a few times.

“And if she chooses not to take your offer?”

“Then I'll have to resort to more drastic measures. Either way I know my next move, and it will require plenty of preparation.” he snickered to himself.
