Heroes, Unite!

As the Chief strolled towards Twilight Sparkle’s house, with Sweetie Belle atop his head, and the rest of the ponies and humans behind him, he noticed a disturbance in the force, he felt a presence he hadn’t felt in a long time. Or, rather, his radar. As in, it was messing up, static noise filling his ears. Turning round, he could see that the rest of his motley crue were experiencing some kind of pain, holding their heads and screwing up their faces. All apart from Steve, it seemed. He had done an odd movement with his hands, sliding his finger sideways through the air, and now had seemingly turned deaf.

This guy breaks physics on all sorts of...AGH. That noise. Solaire, praiser of the sun, cockblocker of Darkwraiths, was staring at Steve. His expression was unreadable, but to the Chief, his armor seemed to be...melting .Maybe being on a brightly coloured world with pastel ponies DID have some side-effects. He couldn’t see anything wrong with Steve though. And then Solaire lifted his arm, holding a simple piece of white cloth. What was the melting Knight doing? Luffy was asleep again. How could the hatted boy sleep through this? He tried to speak..but couldn’t. His mouth was sealed closed!

The Ponies seemed to be unaffected by the madness that was affecting the humans and was looking on in confusion. And then a crack of thunder was heard, as the white cloth in Solaire’s hand crackled with thunder, and then lengthened to make a spear of Lightning, aimed at Steve’s heart. Quickly, Steve summoned a block of cobblestone, and placed it in front of him. And then another, as Solaire threw his spear. By this point, Steve had summoned, and built, a giant wall, protecting him from the spear.

Fluttershy was trying to restrain Solaire, but he seemed to be stronger than a God Damned Brute. A fact that was reinforced by the fact that he punched through the cobble stone wall. He was about to start choking Steve, when a hyperactive Pink Pony burst out of his surcoat.

“HEYMOREHUMANS! WHOAREYOUWHATAREYOURNAMES!” She cried, squeezing her way out of his coat. This seemed to shake Solaire, and indeed everyone, out of the illusion that was affecting their minds. Blinking, Luffy woke up again, to see a tall man standing behind the Chief, scarves wrapped around his head.

“Hey, scarf-guy. What are you so scared of?” Luffy said, blinking a few times before stretching, and standing up. For how simple the kid seemed to be, he seemed to have a good grasp on emotions. Even if he was fairly stupid, and narcoleptic.

The Knight, and Steve were talking over by the giant wall of FRICKIING IMPOSSIBILITY COBBLE, seemingly making up about the bout of hallucinations that plagued Solaire. The Chief looked behind him, Sweetie Belle squeaking adorably as she did. After a second or two of staring at the personage in front of him, the Chief spoke up...or started too. “Why you got them bandages around your head, huh?! You some kind of spy?! R U A SPAH?!” Rainbow Dash shouted, right in the new human’s face.  Steve, at this point facepalmed, before slamming his sign down, and rapidly typing.

FUCKIN SPIES MAN. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE MAN. SOME KINDA CONSPIRACY!

“Yeah! Steve’s got the right idea! SO, YOU SOME KINDA SP-Mmph!”

Applejack had placed her hoof gently over her suspicious, polychromatic friend’s mouth, silencing her for the moment. “Ah think yer scaring him, sugarcube..” She said, looking at the slightly shaking human. As the scarfed man nodded, Pinkie appeared next to him, nuzzling into his leg.

“Don’t be scared, silly-filly! Dashie is just a little nervous of different looking people! And, well, you look a little scary with those bandages..” The pink mare said, grinning up at her human friend.

“I guess more introductions are in order, huh?” The Chief said, motioning the others over with one hand. As the others gathered around him, he pointed along the line of humans and ponies assembled in front of the new guy. “Okay. The one who placed the sign is Steve. I’m gonna do a full report on abilities and other important material later. Next to him is Applejack, Steve’s partner, for want of a better word. The next pair is Luffy, who is...asleep again, no surprise there, and Rainbow Dash.” Whilst all the ones before had waved, nodded, or bowed, Rainbow simply glared at the new man. “Next is me, the Master Chief, but call me Chief, and Rarity here is my partner. Also, the one on my head is Sweetie Belle. She is my weapon of mass cuteness, and if you hurt her I WILL kill you, are we clear?” The tall, covered man nodded rapidly, stepping back once. “Next to me, is Knight Solaire, and Fluttershy. She’s a little sensitive, I think.”

The man nodded, before gesturing towards Pinkie to go first. “Well... I’M PINKIE PIE, AND I LOVE TO PAARRRTAY!” Chief simply faced her, before looking at the male.

“Call me Asura. I’m one of the Eight Great Warriors” He said, before looking at each of the humans in turn.

As Asura looked at Steve, he felt an extreme pain in his head. He suddenly fell to the floor, panting for a few seconds before standing back up. No-one else had really paid attention, his pupils had disappeared and his eyes were pure white, before shaking his head and his pupils returning.  However, Applejack asked him “What tha hay was that?”, Steve looked at her, his head cocked on the side, before resummoning his sign.

What was what?

At that, Applejack looked at him, very confused “I... I uhhh, nevermind....” She shook her head, then turned to see how the other humans were doing...

Luffy seemed fairly unaffected by Asura’s gaze. Perhaps he was so simple, mind affects didn’t really work on him? In any case, he was awake, at last, and stretching out, but seemed to have a slight headache. Chief was faring better than Steve, his legs feeling a little shaky before a power surge boosted his armor, giving him a second layer of protection as it started to pulsate slowly against his flesh. However, up top, he was starting to see things again, colors melting slowly into each other, and the human in front of him seemingly growing new arms, before the spell passed, and his armor returned to normal.

Solaire wasn’t doing much better than Steve, and possibly worse. His muscles visibly bulged, and electricity started to crackle around his left hand, but he turned to the group, backing off, and saying something about “Hollows” and “Demons”, throwing a punch at Chief, one which he knew would go straight through him. Thankfully, Asura looked away before he could finish the punch, causing him to topple over at the sudden change of balance, that his mind wasn’t fully aware of. This made him land face to face with Fluttershy, his helmet brushing her nose.

“Eeep!”

As the mind rape stopped, Chief simply faced the rest of the group, an irritated twang in his voice. “Can we go for 5 damn minutes without something happening, please?!”

Pinkie simply looked at him like he was crazy, before pointing over his shoulder. Chief sighed, already knowing what he was going to see, before turning around. Behind him, was indeed a purple unicorn. This one had a dark purple mane with a mauve stripe through it. Her fringe was straight cut, and the same pattern was apparent in her tail. Her “cutie mark” was a purple, six-pointed star, with white stars around.

By her side was a tall, white haired male, sword strapped across his back. He had white hair, cut to his shoulders, and on his face was a cocky grin. He was wearing a red, studded leather coat, with no shirt underneath, and a leather strap across his chest. On his lower half was a pair of tan leather pants, and a pair of black leather boots. “‘Sup. More horses, huh? Got any pizza? Fuckin’ starving over here.”

Chief just turned to this new guy, and then shook his head. “I hate you already.” He sighed, before looking back at the group behind him. “I...can we just go inside please? Today has been an odd day.”

The new guy shrugged, spinning around, and kicking open the door to the library...tree..thing, Treebary, yeah lets go with that. Solaire just shook his head, before looking at Twilight. Her left eye was twitching slightly, so Solaire kneeled by her, and patted her head softly. “It is ok, Little One. I am sure he won’t always be like that...” He didn’t sound very sure, he had met someone similar to the red jacketed lad. Lautrec was arrogant, and cruel. Hiding behind good deeds, he had eventually murdered Anastasia  of Astora, Solaire’s cousin, before fleeing to Anor Londo. There, the Chosen Undead had defeated him in a battle, whilst outnumbered 3 to 1. Fuckin’ Lautrec. Sighing, he shook his head, before drawing the small purple unicorn into a gentle embrace. To his surprise, Fluttershy joined in, hugging Twilight, and his own armored arm. Solaire wasn’t used to such kindness from anything that had a mind, bar perhaps the Chosen Undead.

Luffy was sitting down, on the floor, refusing to move, probably about to nap again. A move that was not lost on either the Rarity, or Rainbow Dash. The Dashmeister blinked, before nuzzling the side of his head. “Hey, Straw-Hat, what’s wrong, bro? You look down?” It was true, the boy had his arms crossed, his hat low, and a scowl on his face.

Rarity had also noticed, and had decided to take a more direct route. “Come on, chop chop, we can’t keep Twilight waiting!”. She started to push on his back, before he pushed her away. “Come on, what is wrong? You seemed fine just a moment ago. Well, you seemed asleep a moment ago, but...”

Luffy, shaking his head again, threw his head back, and shouted one word. One. Word. “MMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT” At that, Solaire, and Steve both facepalmed, the rest of the group of humans, and their pony partners (Apart from Twilight and Rarity.) already gone inside. The two other humans had already worked out that the ponies were vegetarian, mostly by the fact that they were, in fact, ponies.

“Luffy, you are, indeed, an idiot.” Solaire said, shaking his head, whilst Steve simply nerd-poled straight up, away from the embarrassment of the scene below. God fucking dammit Luffy, get your shit together.

Fluttershy had simply frozen, looking at the rubber-man. He blinked, looking back at her, then grinned, showing his canines. Rainbow Dash had scooted away from him, her eyes wide in fear, her mouth open. Twilight was still having a nervous breakdown about Dante, so she was out of the picture..

“What? I’m hungry. A pirate needs to eat.” Luffy said, looking at Rainbow. He seemed confused at what was going on around him.

“Y-you eat meat?” The polychromatic mare said, nervously. What was going on with her body?! It was like she was paralyzed with fear... Egghead would know. But... those teeth! She could imagine them sinking into her chest, tearing her heart out. Why did that sound good?! Freaking endorphins, or whatever Egghead had said about adrenalin rushes, making her head go all woozy.

“Yeah. Don’t you? Oh, wait, horsey. Horsey’s wouldn’t eat meat. I wonder where I can get meat though. Maybe in that forest I saw whilst falling.” Luffy said, oblivious to the tension around him. Fluttershy, however petrified she may have been, spoke up, against all odds.

“You won’t eat us, Mr. Luffy...?” She whimpered, looking at the boy. She was trembling slightly, but trying to get in control of herself.

“Why the hell would I do that? I’m hungry, not a cannibal. You’re still a person. I’ll get some food later, I guess. Better not be too much later though..”

And with that slightly ominous phrase, he stood up, stretched, and then looked up. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE?!” It was fairly obvious who he was talking to, as Steve simply plummeted to the floor, with a sickening crunch of leg bones snapping. Summoning an apple, he munched complacently on it, as his legs slowly reformed back into place. With a wince, Fluttershy turned to Twilight and Solaire again. She seemed happier now, seeing as she had a new test subject for research. Steve should not have shown regenerative properties in front of Twilight.

Oh Goddess No. “Ooh! How did you do that?! That shouldn’t be possible, according to the rules of Regeneration magic. I mean, you didn’t even activate your aura!” She started to rant on, before Luffy grabbed her mane, and pulled her backwards into the treebary of awesomeness. Oddly, it wasn't hurting. Solaire and Fluttershy spoke up, at the same time, though, explaining that Steve was a mute, he uses signs to communicate with people. And then they all entered, Rarity just behind them, with Steve bringing up the rear. Into the oddest scene ever.

Master Chief was pointing Sweetie Belle at Dante, who was laughing his ass off, too out of breath to point his sword at the Chief. Asura was sat on the ceiling, whilst Pinkie Pie was sat on his head. Upside down. Dafuq. Anyway, Spike was just blanking out at this whole scene, whilst Applejack’s hoof was seemingly stuck in her face. Just for a moment, Twilight thought she could see two other human males.

One had long brown hair, wildly curled, covering his eye sometimes. He also had one piercing blue eye, the other being covered by a long scar. Hie eye was sometimes green. With a bit of yellow. They were a subtle mix of colours, seeming to change constantly. He was wearing a black shirt, with a symbol on it, a yellow Estus Flask crest, and at the bottom, the words “You Died”. Under his shirt, a silver chain, with a pendant on the bottom, could be seen. Over his arms, and back, was a open hoodie, dark grey in colour, with the neck tie chewed slightly. His hands were visible, showing more scars. On his lower half were a pair of blue jeans, with a chain hanging down from his pocket, around, and then back up around his leg, to his behind. On his feet were a pair of steel capped boots.

The other had wildly spiked, black hair, with white tips, with a pair of aviation goggles resting on the top of his head.

He had soft, brown eyes, which were always half open, like he was really freaking bored, or sleepy.

His clothes, consisted of  a necklace, a tribal symbol, laying on his chest. He had a bandana tied around the top of his left arm, and he too had a hoodie, this one black, with a white Hyrulian Crest on one sleeve, and the other having a half spiders web. No shirt though. He had a pair of black jeans on, with a decal styled to look like white paint spatters. On HIS feet, were red Converse shoes, with a Pokeball on the toes. And on his left hand, was a tiny tattoo, consisting of three dots in a triangle.

The one with one eye had turned to the other, and had spoken something about a portal spell, before starting to fade. The one with black and white tipped hair had glared at Luffy and Rainbow Dash, saying something about “HIS RD.”

And then they were gone.

“What the hell is going on here...?” Twilight said, mimicing Applejack.
