Between Magic and Science

As an idea comes to life, so does a universe, a universe just like the one imagined, with things just as real.

Ch. ProA- It had been so long

Maxim Nexus had came so far. Thinking back, he could remember his first moments in this strange, new world. Iron Core, they called it.

It had been so long since he had been sucked  through the portal from his world, in the United States, working for the megacorporation Full Circle, into this, the small city of Tanktown, where would be a hero, a legend, but he still had no way back. It had been so long since he had defeated the evil spirit Nightmare and saved his minion Anarchy, once known as Orbital Order. It had been so long since he received his kinetic implants, allowing him to telekinetically move objects, and use them to stop a civil war, so long since he met himself from the future and went on that adventure with him, so long since he stopped Miss Fortune at the wedding of Apollo Archangel, and the battle that took place there.

And to think, he eventually made friends with that crazy One Armed Bandit lady.

And Dimensia, he was a handful. Nexus had to pull his friends together to fight him, they were all in disarray and chaos. Then came the extra implants he had to receive to defeat Dimensia. Even that seemed so long ago, when he had to master his new synthetic and cybernetic powers, on top of his existing kinetic powers.

He looked down at his palm, where he could see the purple marks from his implants glowing through his skin. That was all the past. Right now, there was peace, and right now, he needed to work on a portal to his own world.

But at that, the peace could only be attained through conflict.

Chapter ProB- It had been so long

Twilight Sparkle had came so far. Thinking back, she could remember her first moments upon arriving in Ponyville.

She had been so concerned with the Nightmare Moon incident that she was forgetting what her mentor had said. It had been so long since she defeated Nightmare Moon and saved her victim, Princess Luna, so long since she had first began to study friendship, and it's lasting effect of ponies everywhere, so long since the Ursa Minor incident, so long since she was worried about what she from the future had told her, so long since she stopped Queen Chrysalis at the wedding of her brother, Shining Armour. So long since Discord was released.

And to think, she was friends with that crazy whateverhewas.

And then there was King Sombre, who almost had defeated her. Twilight had to do what she had to in order to save the Crystal Empire. And there there was that spell that mixed up her friends' destinies altogether. She had to put them on the right path. Then there was becoming a Princess, an alicorn. Even that seemed long ago. So much responsibility had been given to her.

She looked back at her wings. They were still so new, so fresh. Right now, there was peace, and right now, she needed to work to assure that peace.

And peace would only assured with friendship.
