Guardians Of The Multiverse

Darkfire: Pegasus

Cutie Mark: Swords and Shield

Synch Ronize: Unicorn

Cutie Mark: Amplifier

Darkfire walked down the road on the way to Twilight’s library, humming a little tune. He sighted Vinyl Scratch and her colt friend Synch Ronize walking down the street. “What’s up, Synch?”

“Not much. Just hanging out with my marefriend, ya know?” Synch replied with a grin on his muzzle. Synch seemed to be an exact color swap of his marefriend. His coat was an electric blue, and his hair was white and silver. His cutie mark was an amplifier, and he wore the same magenta-tinted glasses as Vinyl.

“Yeah...” Darkfire replied gloomily. A year ago, his human girlfriend sacrificed herself to save him and his foster child, Aqua Dancer. Even thinking about her made him feel depressed. Darkfire shook his head and put on a fake smile. “What are you two doing today?”

Vinyl shrugged. “We were going to hang out at the park, then we have a concert tonight. Wanna come with us?” she asked the single hero.

Darkfire shrugged. “Sure. I don’t have anything better to do.” The trio began to make their way towards the park. However, as they neared their destination, a faint aroma of fudge could be smelled. “Guys, do you-” was all Darkfire was able to say, before there was a ‘pop’ and both him and Synch disappeared.

Steel Soul : Earth Pony

Cutie Mark: Sword over Shield

Silver Sky: Pegasus

Cutie Mark: Paintbrush and Satchel

“Steel! Steel, where are you?!?

A silver furred Pegasus made her way through the city of Ponyville. She had been looking for the pony Twilight had wanted for over an hour. Her normally straight mane slowly began to become a little more frazzled. “Gha! How come he’s never around when you want him?”

With a sigh, she took to the air to soar high to see if she could see from a better position, only to be air tackled by an bright pink blur.

She yelped with surprise as she tumbled to the ground in a tumble of limbs and fur. The Pegasus groaned as she stared into the bright blue eyes of a certain party pony.

“Darn it Pinkie!”

“Hey Silver hows it going. Its going fine for me thanks. I was just on my way to Twilights house. How bout you? What are you up to? I bet you’re looking for somepony. Oh! Oh! Let me guess! Is it Lyra? Bon Bon? Celestia? Luna? Crabby? Beyond? Shadow? Ky?”

A hoof covered the pink ponies maw. “Pinkie. Enough.”

Pinkie looked at the girl for a second before nodding happily. The party pony removed herself from on top of the silver pony. She bounced every which way after doing so.

Siver was getting slightly annoyed. “Pinkie do you need something?”

The pink pony stopped her bouncing before looking back towards her friend. “Hmm…there was something…now let me think…” Pinkie pulled a chair out of nowhere and sat down with her hoof in her chin.

Sliver’s eye twitched every so often as she waited for as long as she could, which was about thirty seconds. “Listen Pinkie, I have to get going. I need to find Steel and-“

Silver yelped as the pink pony zoomed in front of her. “OH! OH! That’s it! Steel is waiting for you at Twilight’s. Been there for quite some time.”

“What!? But I just left there like…quite some time ago! That…stupid…”

She stormed off towards the library with Pinkie waving goodbye to her happily.

“Hey Sil. Where have you been?”

The gray pegasus deadpanned as she looked at the brown stallion.

“What?

A lavender unicorn made her way in front of them. “Well anyhoof, now that were all here how about we get started eh?”

“So what are we working on anyway Twi?” The stallion asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Its a new transporting spell.” She said gleefully. “But I need more than one pony to transport or I run the risk of turning them inside out.”

“WHAT!” Sliver tired to fly away but was stopped by the brown stallion. “Darnit Steel! Let go.”

“Well you don't honestly expect me to get changed inside out do you?”

“Just use somepony else!”

Twilight looked away sheepishly. “I would but i needed two ponies that equaled to an even number in weight.”

The pegasus struggled to no avail. before she could say anything else in her defense, Twilight's horn lit up a glow encompassed both Silver and Steel.

“Let go!”

“I DON’T WANNA DIE!”

the light completely encircled the pair and in a flash they both disappeared.

“Ok. So far so good. Now they should appear over…” She looked to her left and waited...for twenty-five minutes.

“Well...that’s not good…”

The Godfather: Spacelord

Cutie Mark (When in pony-form): Clock with the 4 elements in each corner.

Twilight Sparkle: Alicorn

Cutie Mark: Six Point Star

The Godfather was a tall man, rounding in at about six-foot eight. He had fiery red hair and bright, glowing, light blue eyes. Twilight was a alicorn Princess and had a lavender coat and purple mane with a pink streak down the middle. They always traveled the multiverse, saving lives and all the other stuff that goes with it.Today though, they were walking through the outskirts of Ponyville,  the two in a common argument of theirs about how the “Magic of Friendship” could be a power source. The Godfather, as always, saying no, while Twilight was saying it is a possibility. Of course the argument ended with the both of them agreeing that it was over and would start it up later.

“So, Twilight. Do you know what day it is?”

“Wednesday?”

“No, its...” He paused with a smirk on his face, then said, “HUMP, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!”

“.....What? Is that a reference from a universe I’ve never been to?”

“Well, technically you have been there. You just never saw it.” He responded. He then looked around him before saying, “I also just now remembered why I never said that before.”

They were next to the park where about 10 ponies were all staring at him. He simply waved and kept walking as if it never happened.

“So, Godfather. What crazy plan do you have today. Hurl ourselves into the sun, turn me into a human and go to Disney World while doing Scottish accents?”

“I don’t have a plan. Not today at least.” He said calmly.

“What? Godfather, are you serious. I have never seen you not have a plan, and we’re married.”

“And if you remember, I’m almost fifty-three thousand years old. I just want to have a calm peaceful day to relax so I don’t snap on anyone and yell at them. I regret all the times I’ve snapped because it was thousand upon thousands of years of hate, anger, and sorrow all spewing out of a mad man’s angry mouth. It makes gods cry in fear when I do. I don’t want to hurt my loved ones. So, let’s just relax for today, and then we’ll go to Disney World.” He said calmly.

“Alright, I can live with that. Just, relax.”

The two walked over to a bench by a lake on the outskirts of Ponyville and the Whitetail Woods. As the two sat there. The Godfather started noticing something. Moonflower petals started flying in from behind them. Its started with only few every so often. Then more and more came. Soon, hundreds of Moonflower petals all floated softly around the two.

“Twilight,” The Godfather started,”Please tell me you’re doing this.”

“No, I thought you were…” She replied, fear showing in her voice.

“Of course, I just can’t have a relaxing day can I?” The Godfather sighed.

He stood from the bench and started to reach into his inner coat pocket to grab something. The petals started to push up against his chest and pushed him down. He struggled to stand again but got similar results each time.

“Twilight, I don’t like this.” He said, his voice cracking with fear.

“Do you think I do?”

The petals then started closing in and spun faster and faster. Soon they were millimeters away from the two and spinning faster than a tornado. Suddenly there was a shock wave and the petals dispersed and the two were gone.

Chris-Cross/Christian: Earth pony/Human

Cutie Mark: Crossbow

Supernova: Unicorn

Cutie Mark: Black Hole/Galaxy

“Confound it!” Supernova shouted as he fumbled around inside the portal gate. The blasted thing got broken after Dash crashed into the circuit breaker during a practice flight. Supernova had spent the last few hours trying to fix it. Christian walked up behind him sipping on an iced tea.

“It fixed yet Nova?” He asked nonchalantly. Supernova poked his head out and glared at him. “That a no?” Supernova rolled his eyes.

“Doesn’t take a genius to figure that one out Christian.” A spark is heard from inside. “OW!” Christian giggled.

“But it does to fix that thing!” He shouted. Supernova stuck his head out again, now blackened with soot. He coughed out a black smoke cloud and sighed.

“I could use another pair of hooves. Do you mind?” Christian groaned loudly and put his iced tea down.

“Fine, gimme a sec.” He reached back behind his neck and undid his necklace. It dropped down to the glass next to him as his body changed into his tan pony form. Chris-Cross went behind the portal and knelt down underneath the silver gate. He peeked down to see the black unicorn messing with a few wires. He crawled into the tiny space, which started crushing Supernova by accident.

“Careful! You’re squishing me!”

“OW! Watch the horn!”

“I can’t control it!”

“Then move it!”

“No, you move!” Chris-Cross tries to push his way back out of the cramped space. Suddenly, he hears a crunch sound beneath his left forehoof. Supernova quickly cocks his head to see a crushed instrument under CC’s hoof.

“Oh no! You crushed the portal’s stabilizer!”

“I crushed the what?!” The instrument underneath the tan pony’s hoof started to spark and spaz out wildly. Christian eyes grew the size of oranges. “What’s going to happen?!” He shouts as the broken metal object starts making a inaudible shrieking sound.

“Without that, the portal’s stabilizing molecules would start breaking down to the point of…” Supernova never got to finish his sentence, as a huge explosion of light engulfed to two of them, along with the broken portal gate. Twilight, who was relaxing with a book in her library, was suddenly blinded by the huge expanse of light outside. As quickly as she could, she ran outside to see the rest of her friends, along with half of the town, surrounding a huge crater where the portal gate used to be. She pushed through the crowd and tumbled down into the crater. Her friends quickly ran to the edge. Twilight’s hoof emerged with a somewhat tarnished golden pick necklace. She placed on the ground and started weeping a little. Her friends showed no emotion but grief as they put the pieces together on what just happened. Chris-Cross and Supernova were gone.

Maximus Omega: Unicorn

Cutie Mark: Gunsword

Dark Twilight: Alicorn

Cutie Mark: Six Point Star

A shadowy figure flicked the magic screen. "Why won't this thing work?"

Another figure stepped forward. "Your Highness, something is stopping our signal."

The first pony's horn stopped glowing, and the screen faded away. "Keep trying, and get me when you have connected."

"Very well, Your Highness." The other pony trotted off down a corridor.

The first one sighed. "Maximus, my old friend. Why can't I find you?" she said.

Naomhán (NEV-awn) McKnight: Human

Cutie Mark: N/A

Nathaniel (Nate) McKnight: Human

Cutie Mark: N/A

Naomhán was sitting in his pub, cleaning the glasses after another successful night in Vice City. Thankfully Joker and his cronies hadn’t decided to try and kill him again, a rare occasion since it happened basically everyday. So he just stood there cleaning the glasses, while enjoying the peace and quiet for once.

Jack, his friend and employee, walked into the room with a printing calculator. Ending the nice silence.

“Hey, Boss.”  Jack said as he walked in. “Quiet day it’s been, hasn’t it?”

“Yes it has, Jack. Yes it has.” Naomhán answered in his Irish accent, annoyed by the break the silence, but still trying to salvage the peace and quiet. “No else looks to be coming today, Jack. If you want you can head home early.”

“Are you sure, Boss?”

“Ya, you’ve been working hard all day. I don’t see how it could hurt.”

“Thanks Boss. See you tomorrow then.”

“See you tomorrow.” Naomhán replied waving goodbye to his friend as he left.

After Jack left Naomhán switched the sign on the door to closed, and continued to clean the pub and it glasses. He was just about to finish when he heard a car door slam from outside the pub.

Well. It sure as fuck took them long enough. He thought to himself, knowing that the only people that would come this late are Joker’s minions, or Carmen. The fact that Carmen was doing a hit at this point only made it obvious who it was. Knowing that he reached under the counter, withdrew his two silenced Beretta’s, and slid down behind the counter so he wouldn’t be seen when the door was broke open.

As he sat behind the counter he heard the sound of a window breaking, followed by the sound of glass hitting the ground, and less than a second later the distinctive ting of metal hitting tile came from his left. He didn’t even have enough time to say “Shit” before the grenade went off, and when the smoke cleared there was nothing left.

It was turning out to be an average day for Nathaniel and the rest of the group. They had left Edmonton three days ago and arrived at Calgary earlier today. But that’s what happens when you have to walk that far with six people that still aren’t entirely used to having only two legs. So after arriving in Calgary the first thing they did was try and find food and shelter.

While Jorg and Ray had taken the rest of the six to find shelter, Nate had commandeered Rainbow Dash for looking for food. His reasons being she could walk and run the best, she was the fastest in the group, and she needed to be taught a little humility. Which brings us to the point that we are at now.

Nate and Rainbow had been out for two hours now looking for anything that could mean food, and had come up with nothing. The excessive amount of nothing to do grating on RD’s nerves. Sure Nate and her had been running around, and sure that could be fun, but they weren’t doing it for fun, they were doing it for work, which made it boring.

Walking towards where Nate was she noticed something on shining on the top floor of a ruined building about two blocks down the road. Figuring that something might be up over there, she decided to say something about it.

“Hey Nate.” She called trying to gain his attention. Seeing that it wasn’t working she called louder, “HEY NATE!”

Hearing RD’s yell Nate quickly turned around, and rushed towards her. “What is it RD?” He asked panickedly, thinking she might have been in trouble due to the yelling.

Turning to the building she had seen the shine come from she pointed to the building, and asked, “Do you think something could be in there?”

Looking up to the building that she was pointing at Nate saw the small shine coming from the top floor. Taking a second to think about what it could be, he decided that they just might have to take the chance.

“There could be, but going up there would be unneededly dangerous. I mean look at the thing: half of a wall is missing, looking through the holes in the walls you can tell that the floor is fucked, and if that’s all like that what the fuck happened to the structure. That thing is probably a goddamn death trap.” Nate said, more of a statement than a declaration of not going there.

“Ya, but it’s the only lead we’ve had today. That could be the only place with food we find.” Rainbow reasoned back, “or are you just too chicken to go up there?”

At the end of her statement Nate facepalmed hard enough to leave a red mark on his forehead. Taking his hand off of his head he thought for a second, then figured out his plan. Turning to face Rainbow he asked her a question. “Hey RD, how about a race? First one to the top floor wins.”

Rainbow, surprised by this turned to look at him, a perplexed look on her face. “Since when do you wanna act reckless?”

“I don’t want to.”

“Then why the challenge?”

“It’s not as much of a challenge, as it is a bet.” Nate explained, “if I win you have to stay quiet and not brag about anything for the rest of the time that you are here. If you win I will do whatever you want until you leave.”

“Deal,” Rainbow quickly agreed. “Prepare for slave work Nate, I am the fastest mare in Equestria.”

“Just remember, you are no longer a mare, and this ain’t Equestria.”

The two of them lined up, getting ready for the race that would determine what the two of them would be doing for the rest of the time they were near each other.

“Ready?” Nate asked.

“Ready.” Rainbow answered.

“... GO!”

The two of them shot off like bullets from a gun, and within the first block Rainbow Dash had a considerable lead. By the time she had reached the building she was leading by almost half a block. Once reaching the building Rainbow entered and quickly left Nate’s sight. Nate smiled knowing that this was where he would gain the advantage.

While running to the building he was looking for a way to scale up the building to the hole on the top floor, and found it just before he got there. Once reaching the building he ran up to the wall, and wall ran up it to give him the boost that he needed to grab a crack in the wall. Using the cracks and crevices in the wall he scaled the building and made it to the top floor several seconds before Rainbow did.

Rainbow charged into the room, a triumphant smile on her face, and her eyes closed. “HA! I told him I would win. No one can beat me in a race.” She bragged breathlessly.

“Really? ‘Cause I was gonna ask what took you so long?” Nate said looking through the room.

Rainbow opened her eyes at the sound of his voice, and saw him standing over a bag that looked to contain canned foods and a couple rifles.

“But you were… I saw… HOW DID YOU GET HERE BEFORE ME!” RD yelled in a frustrated tone.

“You climbed the stairs, I climbed the wall. Now we should probably get go-” He was interrupted by the sound of concrete breaking and the floor starting to shake. Seeing that Rainbow was standing on top of an indent in the floor he looked at her, the fear in her face evident. Just as the floor started to fall from beneath them Nate threw the bag at Rainbow, causing her to fall backwards and into the top flat portion of the stairwell. He was not so lucky unfortunately, as the ground fell from beneath him. The last thing he remembered was falling and a bright light, and then darkness.

Spark Plug: Unicorn

Cutie Mark: Wrench and hammer

Tempest: Pegasus

Cutie Mark: Thunder cloud

Two ponies stood on the outskirts of Ponyville, huddled together in a large hut. From the silhouettes appearing in the distance, it looked as if one pony was striking something with a hammer, the other observing him closely as he did his work. Nopony truly knew what these two did in their spare time. They were the town hermits, living by themselves, rarely coming to visit any of their fellow ponies. But they didn’t need to. They likely wouldn’t even have been welcome, as their strange tendencies prevented them from connecting with other ponies.

“Spark! What are you doing? What’s that thing? Oooooh, that looks cool!” A cream white mare reached out her hoof, poking the machine that the stallion was working on next to her.

“Tempest…” the stallion growled. “Stop touching things. How many times have I told you not to touch things, especially when you have no idea what they do. Now let me work in peace please. Just… Go look at something over there or something. I don’t know. Just don’t bother me right now!” With that, he turned back to the large, strange looking machine that he had been working on.

“Geez… You and your inventiveness. What is that thing anyway? Is it some sort of automatic laundry machine? Oh, I know, is it a huge industrial oven? No… that’s not right. It must be-”

“Please, shut up! First off, ‘inventiveness’ is not a word, okay? How many times have I told you that I hate it when you make words up? Secondly, it’s none of those things. I’m working on Equestria’s first interdimensional transporter. With this, we could discover whole new worlds! We could find out if there really is life out there somewhere! We could do anything!” He now stood on his hind legs, holding his hammer towards the sky in a heroic pose.

“Right Mr. Nerd. You’re going to save the world with this fancy little machine here or whatever. I mean, you can’t even get it to work! How long have you been working on this thing? Three months? Maybe more?” She stuck her tongue out at him, and scrunched her face.

“It’s only been [in]two months okay?! I’ll get it working eventually, just go away for now.” He tried to push her away, but instead she reached over his shoulder and grabbed the wrench from behind him. Before he could even react, she was on the machine, hammering things and tightening screws. Tempest, however, had noticed something; on the front of the machine, hidden behind various contraptions, was a loose bolt.

“I think I found your problem right here! Lemme just…” She began to tighten the bolt as Spark Plug stared dumbfounded. He began trying to wrestle control of the wrench away from her after she had tightened the bolt. The two tossed and turned on the ground, yelling insults at each other ranging from ‘your face looks like a tomato’ to ‘you’re so fat, you’re crushing my windpipe!’ Not particularly good or hurtful insults, but insults nonetheless. As they quarrelled, however, Tempest’s elbow nudged a large glowing pad on the front of the machine, causing it to whir.

“Uh… Spark…? That bolt that I tightened? What was that for?”

Spark Plug stared in amazement as the machine came to life. “You did it! You made it work! Two months of hard work and-” His eyes suddenly shrunk to the size of pin pricks as he turned his head slowly to look at Tempest. “Tempest. That was the control module.”

Tempest simply shook her head and sighed. “Well sh-”

With that, the two ponies disappeared in a brilliant flash of light, leaving the outskirts of Ponyville barren of life.
