A Terrarian's tale: Lost in Wonderlandby shaderaiChaptersNo Sleep tonightThe Hallow?The First night (of Equestria)A new differenceThe gate opensMore mysteryNothing to LoseLet chaos ensueWhere he go?MeanwhileBest left unkownOdd reunionNo Sleep tonightMarcus Davens, a tall Terrarian with Brown eyes, black hair, a red shirt, brown pants, and red Steampunk goggles ran all around his settlement, not a single thing would get in he swore, he looked up, yep still a Solar Eclipse and he didn't dare use his jetpack in a situation like this. He still continued to run around the towns edge, killing a few Creatures from the swamp, a couple vampires, and the occasional Frankenstein, ever since he put up the lava trap trench around the city he had to deal with less monsters than before, thankfully. The sun began to set and the monsters began to run, alright so he would have to buy more bullets from Darius for his sniper then he would go home and sleep, as he started walking to the gun shop he saw a message in the bottom left of his screen that made him stop and sigh. A Blood moon is rising. "No sleep tonight," Marcus sighed, he turned around and began to patrol the city edge again, and if it wasn't any worse, it was a full moon,that means werewolves, so he began to kill any monster who had made the leap over the gap. While doing so he had a feeling he hadn't felt since he fought the Eye of Chtulu, like the evil presence was watching him, he checked his messages, nope no message, but he kept his guard up. From over the city a creature watched him, his eyes following the Terrarian as he fought, "You could be promising," it said as it snapped it's fingers and it's discordant body dissipated. =============================================== Princess Celestia had not seen a Solar eclipse in a very long time, at least not one this clear, she watched and smiled, knowing the amazing event brought smiles to her subjects face. A guard burst through the door panting, with a look a fear on his face, " Yes Bright sky, what can I help you with." The guard bowed and began to apologize, " No need to apologize, now what is it that made you so nervous," Celestia asked in a calm, caring voice. " Discord ........is not ....anywhere to............ be.... found, nopony has..... reported........ even a single trick," Bright sky gasped out, he bowed his head, trying to catch his breath. "There is no need to worry, I can sense no chaotic energy at work," Celestia said thinking nothing of it. "Yes your majesty I will order the others t-" suddenly Celestia stood up and turned to look at the guard, she had worry on her face as she spoke. "Discord himself is chaotic energy, but that means," Celestia ran passed the guard toward her sister's tower, leaving the guard to piece it together. As she climbed the steps to the top of the tower she panicked over where he could have gone, she reached the top and was met by her startled sister. "Dear sister what could be so important that thou had to rush over here to see us," Luna asked looking at her sister with a concerned look. "Do you feel the lack of chaotic energy sister," Celestia asked as Luna turned and examined the magical plain, she turned back to her sister with a neutral look. "Yes but we assume this only means that Discord has not played a prank on any innocent pony." "But Discord is chaos energy lulu." " Tia thou art saying that Discord.....," Luna was realizing what this all meant, she looked back up at her sister, " Why that foolish worm!" Discord had done something very few dared to do, and it would come back to bite him.The sentence was imprisonment for what Discord had done, and both the sun and the moon watched for the chaos god to return, waiting. ======================================================= Marcus was walking home after the blood moon set, he wanted to rest, but he knew he had things he had to do first. He walked into the gun shop, Darius was standing by the wall, trying to mound the jaw of Skeletron Prime, Darius turned and saw Marcus enter. " Looking to get more bullets Camo," Darius asked, Marcus was known as Camo ever since he managed to create Shroomite armor, the effects make you invisible if you stand still for 3 seconds. Marcus looked up and nodded his head, " I only got thirty five bullets left," Darius laughed and went over to his safe to pull out his bullet selection. "'Hey, you talk to Hope yet," Darius looked at Marcus, Hope was the town Steampunker, an inventor if you will. "Look bro, if you want to talk to her you go ahead, she is a nice gal, don't be afraid." "I'm not afraid, I just wonder if she has free time so we could, you know, talk." "HAHA, oh well then go ask her out." "What if she says no?" "You two talk and laugh all the time, why would she say no?" Darius thought about this for a second. " Yeah I guess, well thanks Camo, your the best." After Marcus bought some ammo he exited and began walk to the center of the town, The Guardian's Post, suddenly there was a message that popped up. Pinkie the party girl has arrived. Marcus stopped and looked around, coming up the road from the south a girl in rainbow knee socks, pink short skirt, and light pink shoes and shirt with puffy pink hair looked around at the people and their homes as she passed, Marcus noticed she had a backpack on. Pinkie approached the Tall Terrarian," You MUST be Marcus Davens, hi I'm Pinkie, how are you. "Yeah hi pinkie, I'm good," he replied, a little put off by the party girl. "So you live in this tower thingy too?" "Yeah I... wait too?" "Yeah silly I was shown to live here." Each person who showed up were shown a vision of the house they would live in, and that could not be changed. "Oh, um, well, I guess I could make another room so-" "Why? I don't bite." "Well I wouldn't feel very comfortable if-" "Oh don't worry, I don't sleep talk." Marcus gave up, " Ok then." He showed her the house and told her about staying inside during Blood moons and such. She knew about safety of the people and such. After Marcus left to to talk with Nila the town dryad, pinkie managed to unpack quickly and decided to look in the chests in the corner. She opened the chest and saw a set of Hallow gear and other Hallow weapons, "Oooh, shiny," she stopped before she touched it, Marcus wouldn't like her touching his stuff she thought. ========================================================= Both Princess Celestia and Luna kept watch over the magical plain for any evidence of chaotic energy, both saw Twilight Sparkle coming up to their throne room, Twilight burst through the doors and looked from Princess to Princess. "I came as soon as I got your letter Princess Celestia, what happened to Discord," Twilight asked nearly out of breath. "Be calm my faithful student, we will enlighten you shortly," Twilight sat down and folded her wings, "But where are the other Elements of Harmony?" " They are talking to Shiny about what they missed, Twilight said smiling. "Captain Shining armor doth be a rather fun stallion to converse with," Luna said slightly day dreaming. Both Twilight and Celestia looked at Luna with small smiles on their faces, "What? we only speak the truth." "Princess what is it that Discord did that was so bad," Twilight said looking back at her mentor. "Discord has traveled to another reality by breaking the walls of both our reality and the reality he managed to get to." "The worm," Luna muttered. "But Princess, aren't the walls of reality a law?" Twilight asked, glad she had studied this. "They normally are my little pony, but this is Discord, God of chaos we are talking about, and if he returns he will be in major trouble." "What would happen?" Twilight was actually worried for Discord. " Imprisonment at the least, death as the most." Celestia sighed. "Good riddance," Luna mumbled. " Me and my sister are currently trying to patch the hole before both realities collapse," Celestia said ignoring Luna. "Ok I will go get the girls and explain this all to them," Twilight said as she turned to leave. "Thank you My faithful student," Celestia said before going back to watching the Magical plain. ================================================= Marcus was happy he could finally go home and rest, when the night began he saw a massage he hadn't seen since the world had changed again. It's going to be a terrible night. When he beat The Twins he collected the souls and Hallow bars and headed home, when he reached the tower he went up to his room, he put his jetpack in his inventory, when he got in his room he noticed the lights were off. Oh yeah Pinkie, he thought as he made his way to the bed, he didn't care if Pinkie slept in his bed. He. was. bushed. Marcus lay down on the bed and pulled the covers over him, as sleep slowly took him he felt Pinkie wrap around him, "Mmmm," Pinkie quietly purred pulling in closer and snuggling up to him. As he fell into the wonderful embrace of sleep he knew something was happening when he heard a faint laugh, but he only wanted to sleep. Marcus woke up slowly and immediately knew he was not in his home, when he tried to sit up he found that someone was still wrapped around him, he looked and found Pinkie still holding him, sleeping nice and sound on him. Before he finished deciding whether or not to wake her, Pinkie stirred and woke up slowly, "Marcus? What happened to you last night? Wait where are we?" Pinkie sat up suddenly and looked around, she turned to Marcus and realized she was holding him, "Oh sorry, I don't usually do that." "It's ok Pinkie, but I have no idea where we are," Marcus said now realizing they were not even on a bed. Suddenly a Mint green horse with a horn walked into view, "OMIGOSH HUMANS! HEY CAN I TALK TO YOU!?" He said the only thing that came to his mind, "Dafuq?" The Hallow?"OMIGOSH HUMANS! CAN I TALK TO YOU?" Marcus stood up quickly and jumped forward with his Terra Blade drawn, he would not let this unicorn hurt Pinkie. This action made the mint unicorn stop and stare at his blade, " Ok easy I just wanted to talk to you," the Unicorn said backing up. " What is this, are you some kind of new Hallow creature?" Marcus asked staring with an angry look plastered to his face, "WELL WHAT ARE YOU?" "I'm a p-pony, m-my name is Lyra," the pony said cowering before his blade, " P-p-please don't h-hurt me." The pony began to cry and shake uncontrollably, "Stop it Marcus you scared her!" Pinkie yelled at him, he turned his head and looked at Pinkie, she was not happy, so he put his blade away. "I'm very Sorry Lyra I just wanted to make sure you didn't hurt my friend Pinkie," Marcus said, suddenly the mare calmed down a little and looked at him. "P-pinkie?" she asked looking at him, then at pinkie. "Ayup that's me!" Pinkie bubbled helping the shaken pony up, " And your name is Lyra, what a pretty name." " Ah t-thanks Pinkie, hey y-you know you look like a friend of m-mine?" *Gasp* "I do? What's her name? Is she a pony too?" "Yeah, her n-name is Pinkie PIE and she is a party pony!" "OOH I wanna meet her, can we Marcus?" Marcus had put his jetpack on and was ready to explore, "Um sure just follow Lyra I guess." He then took off and noticed that they were on they edge of a massive forest, " I feel like I'm looking at a cliché here." Pinkie watched Marcus take off and looked back at Lyra, she noticed that Lyra was a little shorter than her, "Hey you ready to go?" "Sure," Lyra said feeling better, she turned and walked toward town, " Just follow me." Both Lyra and Pinkie headed into to town to meet Pinkie Pie, but It would take a lot of effort to find her. ================================================== Luna was brought out of her concentration by a flash of chaos energy, " Tia did you feel that? A spike in chaos energy?" Celestia looked over at her sister," Yes, but it was not constant so it cannot be Discord, but maybe Discord brought something here?" "Tis probably a horrible creature of unmeasurable power," Luna said grimly, "Oh lulu you read too many comics," Celestia laughed. "If thou art done, may we go and investigate whatever this strange occurrence was, it happened near Ponyville, and we wish to see the pink one again." "Ok Lulu but be safe, nopony knows what discord brought here and it would be best not to destroy another town." "We will dear sister, worry not," Luna got up and began to walk out, " Oh guard." "Yes Princess?" "Please keep an eye on old sunbutt here ok?" Luna told him as she walked out. "Yes Princess you have my word." Celestia's mane started on fire, "SUN WHAT??!!!!" she fumed. Luna burst out laughing as she left the castle, leaving the poor Guard to explain. =============================================== From the over the town Marcus saw that it was not too different from his own little town, except that it bordered a humongous forest, and the fact that it had a giant tree that he assumed was a house, he also notice a house made of gingerbread? He would have to explore that later, so Marcus went and landed by it for a closer look, yup still a tree,but from inside he heard a loud crash and a small explosion. He went and knocked on the door, soon the door opened but he saw nobody, then from lower down he heard something, " How can I help you si-" Marcus looked down, " Oh hi I was wondering if you were ok, cause I heard a....... dude you are one funky lizard." "I'm a dragon, but what are you?" Spike asked quizzically, " Wait are you one of those humans Lyra always talks about?" "Um well I-," Marcus never finished his sentence, Luna had arrived and assumed he was a deadly monster, she had shot him with a magic bolt, that seemed to get his attention. He turned and looked at the Princess, who was flying and ready to shoot if he made a sudden movement, "What manner of beast are you? Why have you attacked this poor drake?" Marcus turned and noticed the smoke coming out of the library, " Look I didn't-oof!" Luna had shot him again. "I will hear no lies from the agents of Discord whelp," Luna was mad and just wanted to get rid of it and get on. " I don't want to hurt you so please stop," Marcus said honestly. "YOU hurt US, your are sorely mistaken and I will end you NOW!" Luna fired a pure Lunar beam at Marcus, he was engulfed in the attack. After it dissipated Marcus checked his stats, that only did nine damage, weak. "My turn," he shot a white bolt of the Spectre Staff, Luna easily dodged it but did not see it turn around and hit her from behind. Luna began to look like the night sky, bright and with the stars dotting all over her, she was in her Night Goddess form. "YOU DIE NOW!" She hit him with all she had, blasting hard enough, even a dragon would be vaporized, after she stop she saw he still stood. "Impossible." Marcus had only been dealt 28 damage, not bad, but he decided it was over. He threw his Paladin Hammer, it made contact with Luna's head, and she was out cold. "Most interesting" He caught Luna before she hit the ground, he looked at Spike, " Hey, do you mind if she stays here? I need to find a friend and I think this pony knows you." "Uh sure, Princess Luna can, But you never really told me your name," Spike half asked. "Oh sorry, I am Marcus Davens, who are you?" "I'm Spike Gemite, nice to meet you." "The pleasure is mine little dragon." Marcus found himself feeling happy, and he liked it. After he had set Luna in the bed they had available he began his walk to find his friend, but before he did he asked spike something, "Hey do you know the pony Pinkie Pie?" "Pinkie? Yeah she works at Sugarcube corner, why?" "My friend wanted to meet her, so where do I find it?" "It's the only place made of food." "Oh yeah, thanks." "Wait, Pinkie Pie isn't here, she went to Canterlot with all her other friends." "Oh ok thanks again." He made it out of the library before something tackled him, "OOHH Marcus your ok!" Pinkie was hugging him, "Yeah just some Princess who thought I was a monster." he tried to wiggle free, but to no avail. "Silly your not a monster your my Terrarian," Pinkie froze, realizing what she had said she let go and sat up, " Um sorry I Didn't mean to, well you know." "It's ok, I, Um, just." Marcus stammered sitting up, both blushing, suddenly Lyra laughed. "You two are cute," Lyra laughed some more, both were still blushing. " I Think we should, ahem, make a place to stay while we are here," Marcus suggested, trying to change the subject. "Yeah maybe we should, where though?" Pinkie asked. "You two could stay with me, my friend Bon Bon wouldn't mind," Lyra suggested. "Thanks for the offer but we should probably build our own home," Marcus said, Lyra had a look of confusion on her face. " You see when a Terrarian needs a home, they build one." "Ook then, well I'll leave that to you," Lyra said, "And I should probably tell Bon Bon what has happened." "See ya Lyra!" Pinkie smiled, she watched the mare leave, " Shes nice." "Yeah," Marcus was thinking, "Hey how about we build a house where we woke up?" "Yeah that would be perfect!" ============================================= Celestia saw a peaceful magic plain before her, nothing to concern about, and she would have a talk with Luna when she got back. She saw a minor magic flare, she knew her sister was engaging the monster, but her energy grew, not to worry, then It spiked to only one known amount, Goddess mode. Celestia stood up and held a face of fear, to her horror Luna's energy suddenly dropped to an amount only available when unconscious. "GUARD GET ME TO PONYVILLE," Celestia yelled, she wanted this monsters head on a plate. ========================================================== While building his home, Marcus received a message that ruined his whole day. You never escaped us. "NO! Not here!" Marcus yelled, trying to keep it together. He was then overcome by curiosity, he checked the housing, only one appeared, Jack the guide. Where was Jack? "What does that mean?" Pinkie asked looking at Marcus with a concerned face, "Why did it say that?" " Because all those evil things of Terraria, are coming here," Pinkie looked scared, " How? I don't know, but we better prepare for a horrible night." "Pinkie, I can give you one of my weapons, but I don't have any spare armor." " Don't worry I managed to grab this when we were in Terraria," She then put on full Hallow gear and pulled out a Legendary Excalibur. Suddenly it the armor disappeared one piece at a time, "But I kept my familiar Vanity set to cover it." "Pretty smart there Pinkie," Marcus said realizing that this world had transformed her into a Defender Terrarian, the ones who respawn and have an inventory, he was kinda glad, cause he would need her help. The First night (of Equestria)Princess Celestia had been thinking about how her encounter with the creature would go, she was thinking of all the outcomes possible as she was riding her carriage. She wondered how powerful the creature could be, Luna may not have been as powerful as her, but she was still a force to be reckoned with. While she was lost in thought she felt a small pull, her internal clock went off, time to lower the sun. "Steel bone, Light flight, can you please steady the carriage so I may lower the sun?" "Yes Princess," Steel bone said making his flight as smooth as possible. Celestia began to lower the sun, to her surprise it took less power than normal to lower it, how odd. Once she was done she looked back at her transport guard, " You may go at full speed once more, and thank you." " It is an honor princess," Light flight said, smiling and resuming full speed. With the night slowly covering the small town in it's cool, calm air, the Princess flew off her carriage and landed quietly as she could, she wanted the town to sleep, Celestia began to walk towards the library, time to wake her sister. Instead of having to wake Spike Celestia teleported up to Twilight's room, where she knew Luna was sleeping. "Wake up sleepyhead," She said with a motherly tone. Luna shot awake and jumped up at lighting speed, " WHERE IS IT," Luna raged, "WHERE IS THE MONSTER!" "Calm yourself sister the monster is not near here," Celestia said calming her raging sister, which did very little. " Where hath it gone then?" Luna asked looking at her sister for answers, " Did thou search for it yet?" "No but I plan to now, if you will help of course," Celestia teleported away. "Off to hunt we go," Luna grumbled, teleporting away. =================================================== Having set up house, Marcus and Pinkie both touched the bed, SpawnPoint set. they would sleep later, but for now they had to defend the town from danger. As If on Cue a message appeared on the bottom of the screen. You feel an evil presence watching you. "This may be a bad night," Marcus said reading the message, Pinkie looked at him curiously and began to ask. "But isn't he the easiest boss to beat?" Pinkie pulled out her Mini shark and loaded it. "Keep in mind that we are in a land that has most likely not seen a monster this evil, yet," Marcus said the last part grudgingly. " So what do we do?" Pinkie asked, letting the Mini shark down a little. "Well we don't want to cause too much damage to the city, so I say we face it in the forest," Marcus suggested. "Ok that makes sense, but what about the town?" Pinkie asked, worried that the town would be overrun, " The monsters would be all over the town." "Good point,hmm," Marcus thought about it for a second, " How about I take on the eye alone and you protect the town?" " Nice plan! Ready to go?" Pinkie bounced toward the door. "Sure just be careful, I don't know if the spawning really works here," Marcus warned, yes it said spawn point set, but this wasn't his world, he had to be careful. "Okie Dokie lo-," Pinkie stopped bouncing, " That was odd, never said that before." "Hmm," Marcus stopped, "Well I guess that's a new catch phrase." "Yeah," Pinkie ran out the door and headed to Ponyville, Marcus ran deeper into the forest, ready to fight, neither them saw a yellow pegasus slip into their house. ============================================ Queen of the Changelings, Chrysalis loved the way that sounded, always did, but she knew hard times were ahead, her children were slowly and quietly draining the love out of nearby towns, all to rebuild the hive. After her failed invasion the wave of magic that had sent her people flying managed to reach the hive, and it destroyed much of her beloved home, especially the nursery. She then had to explain to the high nobles that she had failed, and that did not end pretty. "My Queen!" A little voice came, getting Chrysalis's attention. "Ferum my little pupa, come to mommy," Chrysalis cooed as she watched her little filly jump onto her bed and lay next to her. "How are you feeling dear," Chrysalis asked, knowing that love was not common around her home area. "Kinda hungry mommy," The filly looked up at her mom expectantly. "Here you are baby," Chrysalis lowered her head and let her daughter suck out as much love as she wanted, ever since Ferum was born, Chrysalis found that she herself was producing endless love, and she used this new found gift to make sure her little pupa never starved. "Thanks mommy," Ferum said finishing her meal, she then smiled, "You have the best love mommy." "Only cause I love you so much dear," Chrysalis said smiling. Suddenly there was an overwhelming feeling of pure fury and malice, Chrysalis nearly collapsed from the amount of anger there was, her filly passed out, Chrysalis attempted to stand and find out what was causing this, but she began to feel dizzy and sat down. Before the Queen of the Changelings passed out she saw what she thought was an enormous eyeball pass her tower before heading toward the Kingdom of Equestria, good she would be happy to see whatever that was rip her enemy to pieces, then she was lost in her unconscious mind, dreaming of revenge, and her daughter. ================================================= Pinkie skipped into town, she was ready for the monsters, as soon as she stepped into the boundaries of the town she saw a tall dark pony land in front of her, with an evil grin on her face, "So who be you? The monsters assistant? YOU WILL FACE OUR WRATH CREATURE!" Luna began to charge her horn when Pinkie interrupted her. "HEY you must be that princess that Marcus was talking about!" Pinkie walked up and booped the Lunar Princess on the nose, "BOOP!" Luna stopped and looked at the bouncy pink girl, she didn't know how to react to this, and it stirred up memories, " What hath.... um we.....," she couldn't form a proper sentence, she was lost in the lovely memories that brought, then she spoke calmly, " You remind us of the pink one." "Pink one? Oh the pony Pinkie Pie?" Pinkie asked, "Yeah I wanted to meet her but you will do. Hi I'm Pinkie, whats your name?" Luna, obviously still shocked, spoke, " Tis a lie, thou cannot posses the name Pinkie, it belongs to the young pony Pinkie Pie. What is thy real name monster? TELL ME!" " Jeez calm down, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?" Pinkie did not like talking to this meanie. "LIES WE HAD HONEY OATS CEREAL!!!" Luna roared, she hated cornflakes. "Ok Ok calm yourself, I was only messing with you," Pinkie turned to leave, she had a town to protect. Her effort to leave was stopped, she was floating back to the Princess, "Wha? Hey let me down, I got people to protect!" Suddenly the aura used to hold her froze. Luna had locked the aura, didn't want this creature to get away, "Thou have done nothing but lie, WE WILL END YOU!" Luna began to suck the air out of the magic barrier. Pinkie began to feel light headed, not only was she stuck but she felt the air begin to leave, "P-please do...n't," she was suffocating and her health began to decline slowly, she noticed a larger white pony, who she assumed was also a princess, land next to the big blue meanie. "LUNA STOP THIS YOU ARE KILLNG IT," Celestia yelled, she knew that was not what her sister usually did, "STOP LUNA!" "NO IT MUST PAY FOR LYING TO US, IT MUST DIE!" Luna Yelled in her royal voice, her eyes glowing. As the air was nearly depleted Pinkie panicked, she pulled out a handgun she was given and began to fight the aura, she was actually moving. "Not Possible, how can it do that," Luna gasped, watching the thing actually move it's arm upward. Pinkie pulled harder and managed to raise her arm faster, she pulled the trigger. The bullet ripped through the aura and before the Princess of the night knew what happened the bullet went clear through her leg and hit the ground, Luna Yelped in pain and fell over, bleeding. The aura disappeared and Pinkie dropped to the ground, choking as the air flooded back into her lungs, she lay there and collected her scattered thoughts. "What did y-you do to us?" Luna cried weakly, " W-we hath never felt pain like t-this before." Luna continued to lay on the ground and cry, cradling her injured leg. Pinkie sat up, she was breathing heavy, but she was breathing, " I'm so sorry, I panicked and reacted, I didn't mean to hurt anyone, or pony." "You were acting out of fear, an instinct to survive, but no permanent damage was done," Celestia said, casting a healing spell on her sisters injured leg, truthfully Luna would walk with a slight limp her whole life, the bullet had hit her joint and shattered her whole joint area. "I'm still so sorry, I should have known better," Pinkie was letting the fact that she hurt someone (or pony) get to her. "We will forgive you, if you explain to us what you are doing here," Luna said, not wanting to watch as her injury heal up, she found that not watching it made her feel better. "Ok, I guess," Pinkie got ready to explain, then she began. =================================================== Marcus was walking through the forest, cutting down whatever monster dared to challenge him, they were all the first monsters, the easiest of creatures to kill, and the first nightmares he had ever encountered. He found himself thinking of Pinkie, was she safe? and he never let her escape his mind, but he did not want to admit what he knew was true. "Where are you big boy?" Marcus quietly asked, waiting for the signal to go up, and there it was. The Eye of Chtulu has awoken. Finally, he could put this thing back in it's place, the eye floated over him, right into view. The fight began. A new differenceWarning: We (The Artist) are not responsible for any seizures due to the amount of fourth wall breaking. Pinkie stood guard as Celestia healed Luna's injury, she had encountered a number of zombies (some of them ponies) and a couple of Demon eyes, but nothing major, in the corner of her vision she saw a message appear. The Eye of Chtulu has awoken. Pinkie truly hoped that Marcus was ok, she knew he was tough but she still worried, and she too didn't want to admit her feelings for him. "Though did not tell us how thou came to this world," Luna inquired while testing to see if she could stand, she winced as pain shot through her leg. "Well, me and Marcus were sleeping in our house one minute, then we wake up here, so I dunno," Pinkie shrugged and shot five more zombies. "Oh my apologies we did not realize that you and him were together, we pray he does not unleash his wrath upon us," Luna had a face of dread glued on, she feared their last encounter. "What? No, me and him are NOT-" Pinkie stopped mid sentence, then proceeded," HEY what do think you are achieving by making things awkward here, huh Artist?!" What do you think i'm doing? I'm helping you realize the feelings you have for Marcus. "Well I don't need help, I already know I love Marcus!" HAH! Gotcha. "Hey that was uncalled for! I should kick your butt!" The two co-rulers looked at each other, confused by this odd half of a conversation they were hearing. "No! You leave those two out of this! This is just me and you pal!" Ok! Ok, I just hope that Luna lost her Fourth-wall powers. "Pinkie, what art thou talking to?" Luna asked trying to follow her gaze, " Oh him. WAIT, YOU are the Artist?!" OH CREATOR! "You know this guy?" Pinkie asked pointing into the nothingness. " Oh so you admit you are nothing huh?" What? No, I just needed a good fill for words there. "Ahem!" Oh hi Luna. Hows it goin? "Thou have lost the right to call me that, you will call us Princess Luna now Ar-" NO! NOT YET! "What? Why hast thou told me no?" That is to be explained later, for now can we return to things? "Fine, but thou will answer us next time." Ok fine lets get back to things! Both Pinkie and Princess Luna looked back at Celestia, she had a look of shear unbelief on her face. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE??!!!" " Um, can I explain later?" Pinkie asked, Suddenly there was an explosion from the forest, looked like this matter would have to wait. "Guess this Matter will have to wait," Celestia said turning toward the direction of the sound. HAH! Totally called it! =============================================== Marcus pulled out his Mega shark and began to fire at the eye, it reacted by charging him, which he easily dodged. He threw all the grenades he had at the thing, which only pissed off the eye, it turned and charged him again, shooting littler eyes to take him out, easily killed, but he knew the eye meant business. Marcus could not determine it, but the eye was different somehow, it was more evil maybe? Either way, he would make paste of it, how hard could it be? While on land he made the most of it, Marcus pulled out his Sniper Rifle and took one shot, it went entirely past the eye, only grazing it, he looked at it's health. 18072/23000 Well that explains it, this thing has more hp than the other eyes he fought, and he knew what to do. Marcus pulled out his Nimbus rod and set two clouds above the eye, the effects were instant, the eye roared in pain as the rain quickly melted a small section in the top of the eye, running down its life rapidly. The Eye of Chtulu charged out of the rain at Marcus, it hit him back a couple of feet, 65 damage, Marcus gasped and dodged a second attack. He couldn't take too many hits from this thing, it had gone beast mode. Marcus used his Mega Shark to lower its health quicker, using his explosive rounds. 11500/23000 The eye went into phase two, a large jaw opened all around the pupil, it spun in circles until the pupil fell out, then roared at Marcus. Marcus pulled out his rainbow rod, ready to go, before he cast a thing he was hit back into a tree, 103 damage, Marcus dodged another attack, and another. His rainbow rod was flashing and blazing as it sent bright colorful orbs of energy that hit the eye, it was slowly wearing it down, Marcus jumped over the eye as it charged him. He Sniped the eye a few more times, then proceeded to dodge again and check its health. 126/23000 He checked his own health, 41/500 , he couldn't use a health potion for another 45 seconds, better end this now. Marcus pulled out one stick of TNT and tossed it in the eye's mouth before barely dodging it, The explosion knocked him down for 12 damage, he jumped up and looked for the eye. It's entire being was blown all over the ground, along with a crater. " Stew, yum," Marcus commented in disgust. A dark energy rose from the remains and formed a smaller version of the former eye, "I AM ONLY THE GATE THAT HAS BEEN OPENED FOR THE CREATURES MUCH WORSE TO COME, YOU WILL DIE HERO." the energy dissipated and Marcus was left alone. "That..... is a new one." The Eye of Chtulu has been defeated. "Again, you don't fail to entertain. ============================================ The night was ending and the town still stood, Pinkie, Princess Luna, and Celestia stood at the tree library, watching the monsters flee the soft light that was now slowly appearing. They were all chatting, " Hey would you two like to get some breakfast? Once they open we mean." "Sure I would love to! I just worry about Marcus," Pinkie said smiling happily. " From what you told us," Celestia stated, "He's probably fine." " Yeah but I still worry," both Princess's smiled. All three walked slowly to a cafe near the town hall, Pinkie accidentally bumped into a brown stallion, "Oh sorry buddy, didn't see you there." "It's quite fine miss I believe it was my f-," The stallion stared at Pinkie, "Fault.... well then just got to be going, before I start to see more humans. See you round, just got to go, um, find Derpy." "Oh Doctor, you poor stallion," Celestia said quietly, she knew him, and his past. "Um what was that about? Do you know him?" Pinkie asked, turning and looking down the alley, some trash cans and a big blue box, not much. "He's the residential time keeper," Princess Luna said, watching the stallion run off. "And an odd one." "Hmm well we best be off," Celestia cheerfully interrupted, she did not want to dwell on the doctor. They continued to walk to the cafe, talking as if they never saw the stallion, Pinkie liked these ponies, they were kind and strong. As they came into the cafe, the perfect morning light was shining, time for breakfast, they all ordered some delicious breakfast meal, ready to dig in. Pinkie ordered some waffles, Celestia ordered a morning hay biscuit sandwich, and Luna o- "Princess Luna!" Princess Luna ordered Some wheat pancakes with lovely syrup. "So since you have arrived, how are things going for you here?" Celestia asked, between bites of course. "Well things are good, I guess they could be better, and I still haven't met Pinkie Pie yet," Pinkie said, thinking of the good now, "But I met some really nice Ponies who are are called princess, and they are nice, I like them." Both princess Luna and Celestia laughed, they kinda liked pinkie, she was definitely funny. "We much enjoy your company Pinkie, you are a nice pony, er person." Princess Luna cheerfully said, and despite the odd looks from others they were getting, she was still enjoying herself, more than she had in a long time. "I'm starting to get a bit worried, I would have thought Marcus would have come back to tell me about the eye at least." Pinkie said looking out the front window, searching for any sign of him. "He probably has things under control." ================================================= For Marcus Davens, things were out of control, after the night creatures left, a bunch of wood wolves jumped him, they were defeated pretty easily, but formed one large wolf, well crap. Marcus was walking toward town, he stopped and sniped another leg off the giant wolf, it fell forward and exploded into small sticks everywhere, he knew it would get back up. He turned and watched it reform, it growled at him, the raised his Sniper Rifle and pointed it at the wolf. The wolf whimpered and backed up, then suddenly turned and ran off into the forest, Marcus let out a small laugh. He walked over to his house and stopped, there was a small cottage a little ways off, how did he miss that? Marcus walked into his home to pick up some more ammo, as soon as he opened the door he stopped. Laying next to a bookshelf was a Yellow pegasus, reading his Waterbolt book, she saw him enter, a soft eep escaped her mouth and she hid behind the bookshelf. He sighed and entered, "Ok, look I don't know who you are, but I won't hurt you, I promise." The Pegasus stayed behind the bookcase, not daring to move, "Ook, well I will get what I came for and be off," Marcus walked over to one of the chests and opened it to get some ammo, as soon as he pulled out his sniper a small squee escaped the mares mouth, Marcus turned and saw a blue water sphere hit him, then he saw the pegasus run out, holding his waterbolt book. He didn't mind, these ponies needed the defense, and if the people knew how to make these things, they would be more than well protected. He finished loading his guns and walked out toward the town, he needed to find pinkie. When he entered the town he actually looked around, lots of odd looks coming his way, he bumped into something, a brown pony, " My bad dude, didn't pay attention to where I was going." "It's ok it's not the first time today somepony bumped int-," The stallion looked him up and down, "No not again... why must you taunt me, with your being." The stallion kept staring at him. "I dunno...for teh lulz?" Marcus said shrugging. The odd brown pony ran away, not what he had expected, but then he had a strange urge to start wearing a fez, how odd. Marcus walked to the tree library, the only place he knew in this odd town of ponies, then stopped and stared at the group of brightly colored mares all talking and arguing, the yellow pegasus was in the middle, so he activated his armor bonus and became invisible. "Well darling what does it look like?" The white unicorn asked. "Well it was tall and looked like a shaved Minotaur, but it had a red shirt on and a weird metal thing on its back," The yellow one quietly stated. "I say we beat it up!" The blue pegasus suggested, who also had rainbow hair, note: avoid the rainbow one. "Now that sounds like ah poor decision, ya'll know better than tah hurt others without reason Rainbow," The (western?) orange pony said giving 'Rainbow' the stink eye, he was right, Rainbow did fit. "Fluttershy where did you see this things house?" The purple alicorn asked. "N-near my cottage, it's a nice house though." Fluttershy answered softly. "I say we go find it, and throw a welcome party for it," The pink bouncy pony happily bubbled, reminded him of Pinkie. "Pinkie, I don't think this thing will want a party," The purple unicorn spoke again, but he was interested in the pink pony, her name was Pinkie too? Marcus decided to talk to the girls, he dropped his camo and walked forward, "Hello, I couldn't help but overhear, and I would like to introduce my self, I am Marcus Davens." He looked at the mares, they all just stared at him with their mouths open in shock. The yellow pegasus screamed. The gate opensThe yellow pegasus screamed, most of the others scrambled all over each other, trying to reassure one another, Marcus just stood there and watched the commotion. Suddenly the Rainbow pegasus flew right into his face, " Hey PAL you wanna die? Cause if you make my friend cry, you are ASKING to die!" Marcus backed up, the exact reaction he expected, but now he saw that the Purple alicorn was slowly getting things under control, while the western pony was yelling at Rainbow. After they were all quieted down, the purple pony approached, " Pardon my friends, they have never seen something like you before." Marcus noticed the wings on her back, oh boy another princess. " But If I may ask, what are you doing here? The portal shouldn't be open for another twenty five moons." Marcus didn't understand, "Um what? I'm not a human, I have no idea what you are talking about." "Surely you are a human, what else could you be?" Twilight said examining him. "Um i'm a Terrarian," Marcus stated without thinking,"I guess humans look like us." "What's a ter-rawr-ean?" Twilight asked. "Are they from earth?" "A Terrarian is what I am, and my home world is Terraria," Marcus felt like he was in a movie or something, what would it be called? E.T.? "So why are you here? You lookin to take over Equestria!? The rainbow pony asked, " Cause you ain't getting past me buddy!" The orange pony pulled the rainbow one's tail, "Calm down there Rainbow, ah don't think this fella is lookin to hurt nopony," she said looking at Marcus questionably. "Hmm? Oh no, I just want to protect your world from the monsters of my world," Marcus said, reliving the battle with the Eye of Chtulu. "Monster's? Like Zombie ponies?" He had not noticed Spike standing in the back. "Don't be ridiculous Spike, Zombie ponies don't exist." Twilight stated in a smug fashion. "Actually, some of the Zombies I faced were ponies," Marcus backed the little dragon up, "But there are more than just that." "Seriously? How am I supposed to believe that?" The blue pegasus said, obviously not believing, " How do we know you are not really one of Discord's tricks? Hmm?" ================================================= " Disco-what? Never heard of it, is it a disease?" Pinkie asked, she had never heard of it. "Discord, he is the master of chaos," Princess Luna said with a somewhat grim look. "Never heard of him," Pinkie looked at the corner of her vision. Pinkie join green team so I can find you. "What is this?" Princess Luna asked, she began to freak out, "What are we seeing? "What you can see it too?" Pinkie asked, she joined green team. " Yes, and an odd group of things have appeared in our vision as well," The Princess began to freak out, " What be this? Inventory!?" "Oh, you must be changing too!" Pinkie bubbled gleefully, "How cool!" "What? What is she changing into?" Celestia worried, "Is It something evil?" "No, she is turning into a Terrarian," Pinkie answered, she liked new friends," But I don't understand how." "Ok whew, the 'inventory' has ceased." The princess said, not so worried, she looked around, others were staring, but she was fixated on a certain unicorn stallion, sitting in the back. "Will she no longer be my sister?" Celestia asked, glancing at her sister shortly. "No, at least I don't think," Pinkie hoped she was right, "But I can't be sure." Princess Luna got up and started walking toward the back, both Pinkie and Celestia looked at each other, then watched Luna go. " Sister where are you going," Celestia asked, the Lunar Princess didn't answer, she just kept walking toward the stallion. The stallion had dark gray fur, a black mane, and was looking down with his brown eyes, writing on what The Princess thought was a journal. "Why hello Artist," The Princess smiled, watching the stallion cease writing and look up, wide eyed. "Um hello princess," Artist said, "How can i help you?" "Thou know what we are here for," The Princess leaned in closer, glaring at the poor stallion. Artist quickly lifted his pencil and scribbled something in his book, then there was a sudden burst as the entrance door swung open, Marcus walked in. Behind him were six mares, all chatting and laughing happily. The Princess of the moon yelped and ducked under the table, Marcus only stared at her, wondering what was wrong, then he remembered what had happened last time. "Princess are you ok?" Marcus asked as he bent down and looked at her, she was shaking. "Please don't hurt us, we did not know you cared for lady Pinkie," Princess Luna squeaked. "What? What happened to Pi-" "And Then I said, Oatmeal? Are you Crazy!?" both Pinkie and Pinkie Pie stopped and looked at each other, then they burst out laughing. "Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, you must be new," Pinkie Pie felt her ears twitch, then she stopped and gasped, " HEY YOUR ME!!!!!" "You must be Pinkie pie," Pinkie said, " how are ya?" "GREAT, cause I just met me!" Marcus turned his head back to the Princess, "So, care to explain what happened to Pinkie?" The Princess whimpered and shook her head, still shaking. "Don't worry, i'm not mad at you, I just want to know," Marcus scooted back, giving the Princess more space to breath. "O-oh ok, well please don't be angry by the end of this," Princess Luna began to tell him her encounter and what happened, meanwhile both Pinkies were talking about parties while Twilight talked with her mentor. After the story the night Princess told him she lowered her head, "We don't feel so good." "It's ok, i'm not mad," Marcus noticed that she did look a little sick, " Are you ok?" "We will be going, we feel that rest is needed," Princess Luna got up and ran out the door, without telling anyone where she was headed. Marcus got up and brushed himself off, he noticed a unicorn stallion scribbling madly in his little book. "Hey pal are you alright?" he asked the stallion, who looked up and nodded in response. "Ok then," Marcus turned and walked over to the others, he asked Celestia what was up with her sister, she did not know. After they had finished talking they all began to walk back to Twilight's house, only the two Pinkies were still chatting. Marcus remembered something he forgot to ask, "Celestia, do you know if there are anymore people like me here?" "I do not believe there are, why do you ask?" Celestia calmly said. "I know you know Princess," Marcus saw a clear lie in her last statement, "Where is he?" "Who? I'm afraid I don't understand," Celestia clearly knew what he was talking about. " You better not, or you will be seeing why your sister was scared of me," Marcus threatened, he saw that all the others were staring at them, " Come on Pinkie, we have things to do." "Bye Pinkie," Pinkie said, waving to her pony friends. "Bye Pinkie," Pinkie Pie waved back, still smiling. "Ok we need nicknames for you two, this is way too confusing," Rainbow said poking Pinkie Pie. Once Marcus and Pinkie got back to their home, Marcus was getting the necessary stuff to place some defense around the house, Pinkie went upstairs to put some items she got away, she yelped when she entered the room. "WHAT! What happened!? Marcus rushed up the stairs, Pinkie pointed to the bed, on it lay a person. "Oh boy." =================================================== In the deepest, darkest, dungeon under Canterlot, there was a man all bound in chains, he had lost all reason to live, but was forced to. He opened his eyes and checked a new message he saw pop up. The gates of Hell are open at last, your world will fall. The man picked his head up, with an evil grin, "Finally," He broke out in maniac laughter, chains were being pulled right out of the wall, he was breaking out of his prison. More mysteryPinkie and Marcus stared at the person laying in the bed, neither wanted to find out who it was, but Marcus decided to go. He slowly approached the bed and made sure that the person stayed asleep, he could hear breathing, slow and calm, Marcus leaned in and went to shake them so they would wake. As soon as his finger touched the arm she screamed and smashed a door over his head, Marcus fell down, wait she? Marcus got back up, he looked at the person on the bed, she was holding a broken door and had a curious look on her face. She had dark blue hair, sky blue eyes, a blue shirt with a moon on it and dark blue jeans, Marcus realized who this was. "Oh no, this isn't real," Marcus began to freak out. "What isn't real? Are you ok?" Pinkie asked, watching him freak out. "Yes what's wrong, is it not ok for me to sleep here for a little rest?" The girl asked, then went wide eyed, "What's wrong with me, we mean us? I don't use... WE never knew this form of speech!" "REALLY!!? THAT'S ALL YOU NOTICE!?" Marcus yelled, " LOOK AT YOUR HANDS!!" "Hands? What are h-" Luna stared at her hands, she was still taking it in, "Oh those hands." Marcus prepared for her to scream again, but she didn't, she only played with her hands and looked at them with curious eyes. She then looked at her legs, felt her legs and wiggled her toes, she was enjoying this, after which she proceeded to feel her face, then suddenly shouted, "HAHA THE CUTENESS HAS BEEN DOUBLED!!" "Oh, whats up Princess," Pinkie said waving, "Wait.... Princess?" Marcus couldn't even think, he just stared as she sat there, not being a pony, and it drove him insane. " How you do dis!?" Marcus yelled. "Why? Do you like it?" Luna winked at Marcus, "Well? You like my new body?" she leaned in closer to him. "There will be NONE of that!" Pinkie pushed the two away from each other. " Now why are you in our house?" "I didn't mean to sleep here, I just needed some rest, and this is where I thought to go," Luna said as she looked back at Marcus, "But I do apologize for doing so." "It's not a problem," Marcus didn't mind. There was a knock at the front door, " I got it!" Pinkie ran downstairs to go see who it was, " Behave you two!" Both Luna and Marcus were left to talk, an awkward silence stood, neither knew what to say. "Well," Marcus began, he tried not to look at Luna, he feared that he would fall for her beauty. "Marcus, I will need your help." "Why?" "I don't know how to walk." Marcus thought about this for a second, "Ok, but it may take some time to get used to." "Thank you, I appreciate this very much," Luna wanted to learn to walk, she liked her new legs. "Ok, lets start with standing up," Marcus said, Luna slowly turned on the bed and placed her legs on the floor, she then slowly put her weight on her new legs. Marcus watched as Luna pushed herself up, she suddenly fell left, Marcus caught her and helped her stand back up, this time she only wobbled before she had balance. "Thanks." "No problem," Marcus said, she was still a little wobbly. "So whats the next step?" "Well the next step is to walk, but I think you aren't ready yet," Marcus doubted she could walk yet. "ONWARD!" Luna yelled with a smile, she made it three steps before she fell. Marcus dove to catch her, she landed on him and he let out a grunt as he hit the floor, they lay there for a second before Luna spoke, "Less than graceful." "Hehe, maybe we should work on this later, I suddenly feel light headed," Marcus said before he brought his head up, his and Luna's lips touched briefly, both stared at each other, "Um, I didn't..." "Well I just-" "HEY, WHATS GOING ON!?" Pinkie yelled from the doorway, both of them turned to look at her, Pinkie was fuming while Lyra was giggling. "Um this is not what it looks like," Marcus was about to explain when Luna cut him off. "What? We kissed, why are you so ashamed hmm?" Luna smiled and winked at Marcus again, "U Jelly Pinkie?" Pinkie was a raging force of nature now, "Oh you bet!" She pulled out her Excalibur. ============================================= Princess Celestia was having fun hanging with Twilight and her friends, she never really got too many chances to get away from hearing about the latest news from Saddle Arabia, or the war in Afghaneighstan, or escape being worshiped by snotty nobles. Her only concern is that she wondered what happened to Luna, but she dismissed the worry, she only wanted to enjoy this time. She heard a sudden thud behind her, she turned to spot a small grey pegasus mare with golden hair laying on the ground, all sprawled out. " Hello Derpy, how is it I can help you?" The mare got up and bowed, " Sorry princess, I'm here to give you a letter." "A message? Thank you Derpy," Celestia levitated the message over to her. "It's an honor Princess." Celestia calmly read over the scroll and gasped, "Whats wrong Princess?" Twilight had interrupted, they were all sitting at the table and staring at her. "I must go my faithful student," Celestia stood up and began to walk, " Canterlot is under attack." "Let chaos ensue little Tia." ========================================== Marcus had just finished explaining the whole situation to Pinkie when there was a knock at the door, " Wonder who that could be." Everyone was at the door when Marcus opened it, Celestia stood there with worry on her face, "Marcus, we need your help." "What happened?" "The prisoner we have been holding has finally escaped, an he is Terrarian," Celestia cringed as she saw his face fill with anger. "Lets get going, we don't know what this fool has pushed him to do," Marcus made no attempt to hide his anger, " Pinkie, get Luna some gear and weapons, we don't know what Jack is capable of." Celestia looked confused, then she realized that the blue haired girl is her sister," Wha-" "No time, lets go." ============================================= Jack the guide was having fun, he ripped another guard in half with his Terra blade, Chaos and death and murder, that's all he could thing of. He wanted to find the Princess of the sun, he wanted to personally rip her limb from limb, she would pay for making him suffer. He turned and began to exit the throne room, but found his path blocked by a pinkish shield, he saw a lone guard standing with his horn lit outside the barrier, "Stop this right now or my men will be forced to subdue you!" Jack thought this through, then responded, "Send your men, i would love to tear another one of your kind apart!" The guard stood there with a disgusted look on his face, " You are a monster!" Jack pulled out a new weapon he invented, the S.D.M.G, which looked like a dolphin, "Yes, but at least it's a living." He fired at the shield non-stop, the barrier began to crack, and some holes were punched through by a few bullets. Jack put the gun away and punched the shield, it shattered on contact. The guard stood there, dazed by the magic shatter, Jack walked toward the stallion with a drawn sword, time to kill the pretty pony. "I am Captain Shining armor of the royal guard, you will not be recaptured," The stallion took a fighting stance, " You will be killed right now, you are too dangerous to keep alive!" "Bring it horn head," Jack taunted, " been a while since I did hand to hand." Both lunged at each other, neither saw the chariot approach the castle. "Time to step up my game, prepare to have your Jimmies rustled, Mwuhahahaha!" Nothing to LoseThe Chariot that held Celesria, Marcus, Luna, Pinkie, and Lyra with a chainsaw, approached the capital of Equestria. Celestia felt her eyes begin to water, her city was burning, and her guards were painted on almost every wall, this was what she never thought she would ever see. Luna grabbed her shoulder, "Keep calm sister, we know how you feel." Celestia hung her head. Everyone and pony turned toward the balcony of the throne room, there, locked in battle, was Jack the guide and Captain Shining Armor, Jack was slowly overwhelming the poor stallion. Suddenly Shining's last shield went down, he lay on the ground as Jack pulled his Terrablade out, but before he could end the knight, a green bullet shot the guide back into the wall, dazing the killer. Marcus was flying toward the balcony, with his sniper still drawn, taking shot after shot at the deranged Terarian, The guide deflected two of the five bullets that left the sniper barrel. He pulled himself out of the wall, and brought his S.D.M.G up, firing at Marcus, only to miss most of the time, just as Marcus landed both of them drew their melee weapons. They began to exchange blows, neither touching each other, Marcus slammed his hammer as hard as he could into the guides Terrablade, only to knock it out of blocking position, perfect. Marcus hit the guide in the face with as much force as he could, knocking Jack through the wall, with a crash heard from inside. "So is he... you know, gone?" Marcus turned around and saw Celestia with the others, watching him. "No, he just too-" A spray of bullets came from inside the building, the first hit Marcus's shoulder, then the princess put up a shield, deflecting the bullets, but the shield was already breaking. "OK, YOU ALL NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" "NO, WE FIGHT!" Luna yelled. The shield broke, bullets sprayed past them all, a few hit Marcus and Pinkie, Luna got hit in the leg, but Celestia was shot through the chest, falling over in pain. Marcus yelled and pulled out his Megashark and began to return the favor, him and Jack slowly walked toward each other, not bothering to dodge a single bullet. As they drew close they switched to their melee weapons and fought again, a few hits passing each of their defenses, Marcus was not as strong as Jack, both of them knew that. Jack went into the whole 'light saber strength battle' with Marcus, pushing him back slowly, Jack was smiling as he saw this. Marcus didn't see Jack pull out his Phoenix Blaster, which he proceeded to aim, before he took a shot Pinkie shot Jack in the throat, making him lose his focus and and his sword falter, Marcus took the opportunity to hit Jack under the chin. K.O. Everbody, and pony, then rushed over to Celestia's side, she was bleeding out, and no amount of magic could fix it. "What do we do!" Luna yelled, there was no way to help, they all knew. Marcus couldn't accept that, he pulled out a greater health potion and had Celestia drink it, hoping it helped he watched for signs of healing. nothing. They watched as Celestia slowly bled to death, Luna was crying without a stop to catch her breath. Before they had time to react Celestia jumped up and began to pant, her wound was nothing but a round patch of stained fur. "I feel GREAT!" Celestia said, "Were was this stuff when I fought Discord?! I feel WONDERFUL!" Everyone sighed in relief, everypony was still in shock, this was very odd magic they had witnessed. Shining still lay on his side, "Hey can I get some of that?" ==================================================== Jack had taken the time to escape while they worried over their doomed friend, he was walking in the valley under the kingdom, looking for any sign of the Underworld, or Corruption, or even Hallow. He needed something to back him up, he needed Ci. Under normal circumstances he would never agree with that lunatic, but the results of his long study were impressive to say the least. Alone Jack could bring a god to his knees, but with Ci, he could destroy the creator himself, but for now he kept searching, hoping for his chance to come again. ======================================================= "So any idea where he went?" Luna asked looking at Marcus. "To get backup," Marcus said, he wondered where he would go in this strange world. "Where would he get backup?" Celestia asked. " If i'm right," he stopped, "and I am, all of these homes and rooms you have built in this castle will be housing for the new arrivals." "New arrivals?" Pinkie echoed," So does that mean I get to throw lots of parties?!" "Normally I would say yes," Marcus turned to the rest of them, "But i still don't know for sure what they are like in this world." "That Jack was sure proof," Luna said. "But why would they move in here?" Celestia asked. "For one, this castle is made of pearlstone, a very beautiful material," Marcus said, " And all the rooms have lots of space." "How did you know this was made of pearlstone?" Celestia asked. "I know the material texture anywhere," Marcus tossed the S.D.M.G Jack dropped to Luna, " And It gives off a happy vibe." As the conversation continued Luna was investigating the S.D.M.G, it looked like a dolphin with some gear strapped to it's heads. She loaded her own ammo and began to play with it, she was a Termineightor one minute, and a secret agent the next. She aimed it off the right of the balcony and stopped, she saw a strange cloaked figure walking toward the front gate, she noticed some blue reflect from under the hood (Super Vision!!!). "Um hey guys?" "Hold on Luna." Marcus said, he was in an argument with Celestia. "Guys." "HOLD on sister," Celestia hissed, never removing her eyes from Marcus. "Hey Pinkie." "Yeah?" "Look." Luna pointed to the figure still approaching. "Cool!" Pinkie said, she pulled out Binoculars. =================================================== The guy sneezed, how odd, but he kept his path toward the white castle, very pretty castle. He shot the guards and they blew up into bits, he then proceeded to pass the gate, he was home. Ci the Cyborg has arrived. Let chaos ensueMarcus and Pinkie were running down the tower, the rest were watching in horror as Ci blew up any guards that attempted to stop him. He was even singing a merry song, his weapon was like a giant metal claw, the explosions that came from the bombs were small enough not to hurt anypony other than the guards. He knew that killing the civilians would be a mistake, suddenly he saw two Terrarians standing just up the street, they were holding weapons and looking right through him. "Well hi there!" Ci tried to ignore the looks on their faces. "HI!" Pinkie said cheerfully. "Ah, Pinkie," Marcus sternly said. "Oh right serious," Pinkie dropped the smile and stared at Ci, "What are you doing?" "I don't know what you mean," Ci said innocently "You know what I mean." "I don't think I do." "Lie to me again see what happens." "I'm 2,000 years old," Ci said with a small frown. "That's IT," Pinkie walked toward him with her Excalibur drawn, "YOU LIE, YOU DIE!" "WOAH WOAH!" Ci backed up slowly, "That wasn't a lie, i'm just testing you!" Pinkie didn't buy it, she raised her sword, "STOP!" every one looked back to see Celestia standing with the others ponies and Luna. "What?" Asked Pinkie. "He tells the truth," Celestia said. "How would you know?" Marcus asked. "Because I am after all 1,240 years old," Celestia said, "I grew up knowing him. "You what?" Marcus asked flatly. "I did," Celestia said, "He was the genius that made Eclipse unbeatable." "Eclipse?" Luna asked curiously. "You were too young, you wouldn't remember," Celestia said sadly. "But you know him, what happened?" Marcus interrupted. "Well he kinda lost his sanity after the Chaos siege," Celestia stated. "Hey i'm right here you know," Ci suddenly called. "Shut up," Pinkie said. "So what happened to him?" Marcus asked "He left, don't know where to, but he left," Celestia turned to Ci, "Where did you go?" "Out to the Frosty south, best hot cocoa I ever had," Ci laughed. "Um what?" Marcus asked. "Hot cocoa? Was there a koala there? He is the funniest!" Pinkie bounced. "Koala? Yeah he told me the one about ASDF," Ci and Pinkie began to laugh. "Is every friend I knew insane?" Marcus sighed. "Not sure, I think that gun salesman is still sane, Dray I think," Ci had to think about that. "Really?" Pinkie pulled a one eighty, "HA! take that Vinnoe!" "Who?" Marcus asked. "Just some guy who commented on the story," Pinkie bubbled. "Whatever, I give up," Marcus began to walk away, he then stopped and ran back up to Ci, "WAIT! Did Plantera follow you!!!??" "Oh that? yeah, but I left it in the dust a long way back," Ci laughed. "How long?" "How long what?" Ci looked puzzled. "HOW LONG UNTIL WE GET DESTROYED BY PLANTERA!!" Marcus boomed, right in Ci's face. "Easy there, I left it way back, so maybe a week," Ci backed up. "Calm down Markie," Pinkie put her hand on his shoulder and squeezed slightly. "Yeah fine," Marcus backed away and looked at Pinkie, "Hey that's a new one." "What?" Pinkie asked. "The nickname." "Oh that," Pinkie blushed slightly, "Just thought you might like it." "Its nice," Marcus was again deep in thought about Pinkie, and the rest of the discussion went well. "Guess I got to get rid of that cute pink distraction." =================================================== Twilight was in her library with her friends, they were worried about Canterlot, they had heard a couple of explosions go off. Of course the first thing Rainbowdash did was jump to the absolute worst conclusion, but Twilight eventually reasoned with her that it was just a new spell test, Applejack saw right through that, she herself didn't believe that. Twilight went up to her room, she was too stressed, then she saw a somepony pass down a street, no usually what would concern her except, this pony was a Terrarian, or so she presumed. She rushed downstairs past her friends and said only one thing, "TERRARIAN!" Everypony else exchanged looks before they began to run after her. The person walking down the street in Canterlot's direction found himself encased in a pinkish force field, he turned and took one look at Twilight, she looked horrible, "Ok don't panic, I just want some answers." Before she could even think of one she felt him pull her force field forward as he continued to walk as if nothing was happening, Twilight was being pulled along with him, "Sir please stop." The other mares took the opportunity to attack as well, Applejack lassoed him, Rarity put up a force field around him too, Pinkie did whatever she did, and Rainbowdash Sonic Rainboomed, right into his chest. But he kept walking, as if none of it even bothered him, then from out of no where, Fluttershy attempted to stare him down, which proved ineffective. Twilight and Rarity fainted from exhaustion, Applejack lost her hold on the rope, Pinkie was still Pinkie, Rainbow knocked herself out with the attack, and Fluttershy was curled up off to the side, whimpering. But the person took no notice, he just kept walking, toward the large white castle, what he wanted was sitting in that castle, a cute something too. Applejack was the only one who then realized who it was, "Art's?" The man turned and waved back, then he phased into thin air. ===================================================== Luna was in her bedroom, she was playing with her new hands, she loved it, she tried dancing, tuba (don't ask), and video games, which until now took a lot of skill with her magic to master, but now she could do it with ease. She ducked behind her beanbag as she heard a loud fizzing noise, she peaked out to see a figure like a Terrarian standing in the middle of her room, confused. "What is it you want, I will kill you for trespassing!" He turned toward her direction, "Lulu? Is that you?" "Artist?! What happened to you?" Luna left the safety of the beanbag. "Whao! What happened?" Artist asked looking at her, he then booped her cute little nose, "I guess the cuteness has been doubled." "I turned into a Terrarian, and I guess you did too?" Luna scrunched her nose in thought, how cute. "No, i could always do this," Artist said. "What? How? Why have you not before?" Luna stared at him. "That is for another sequel, but for now I wanted to ask," He paused a moment, "Care for a couple of rounds of Smash Bro.s?" "Your on!" Luna tossed him a controller. After a couple of rounds they switched games, and then again, until they had played every game they had at least once, then they decided to fight for real, then wrestle. We all know what wrestling leads to, Luna was attempting to pin Art down, they were really close, and she knew the worst is that he would refuse, she moved in closer and- nope, the door opened and Marcus walked in, staring at the two. "Dafuq?" Where he go?Jack the guide was walking through barren mountains, not a single plant in sight, but he kept moving, looking for something evil truly worth his time. Yet he doubted that this world could possibly produce something vile, it was too happy and kind. Walking through a pass between the mountains he saw an old half broken sign, 'Beware the Badlands, home of the cha-', how odd, but he didn't care. "Whats this? Another creature to add to the evil of the badlands?" A voice ask, almost making Jack stumble. "No, just a man looking for true evil," Jack replied. "True evil? then you have come to the right place," A dark creature emerged from the shadow, it was like a pony, but it looked more like a bug, with holes in it's legs and horn. "Nice look bug, does your rear light up too?" Jack snorted. "Silence fool! now come with us quietly or you will regret setting hoof in the Tegman Empire!" Suddenly five more emerged around Jack. "It is to be a real fight then? good!" Jack started hacking and slashing them apart before they could even comprehend the reference. "Pfft! True evil here? not likely," Jack sheathed his Terrablade and continued to walk. Jack made it through the pass where he left the poor creatures that attempted to attack him, he then saw an impressive towering kingdom, many creatures flying around it, and nearly half of the greenish structure, was a vile, dark purple. Jack yelled in joy, he finally found it, and now that Terrarian and company would pay. ================================================= Queen Chrysalis was arguing with the Changeling nobles about the proper course of action concerning 'The Poison', and it was not going well. "You can not be suggesting what I think you are." "I am certain you can understand," Segment said, one of the more reasonable nobles. "I must agree, it is the most reasonable action," Fractare agreed. "Very well, but we would be without a home," Queen Chrysalis said, she feared for her childen's safety. "But if we stay we may become poisoned," Segment spoke, " And every creature that has been becomes violent." "Let us evacuate immediately!" Sting said, he was always the one to panic first. "No, keep calm," Chrysalis calmed the nobles, " Let us leave in an orderly fashion, guards, notify all that we will be leaving." "Yes my queen," the two guards by the door exited and closed the doors behind them. Chrysalis had turned her attention back to the room of nobles, they were talking in quiet side conversations, before she could address them about the meeting there were two loud screams. All heads jerked towards the doorway, a small purple streak slowly entered the room and crawled up the wall, then the door burst open, inside were two purplish drooling changelings, set on feeding their primal hunger. "Run!" Somelin yelled. Everylin all ran for the windows or the other door, not many made it with the two corrupt changelings inside. Without a second thought Chrysalis began to direct her children safely away, before she exited she turned back, the two were ripping a noble apart, and he was still breathing, she saw the face of Segment one last time. =============================================== Jack strolled on into the kingdom,every soul he saw was corrupted, or in the process of being corrupted, yet his will was strong enough to resist it, even control it. He was humming a merry tune as he walked toward what he presumed was the royal tower, it was only half corrupt. He noticed a large group of corrupt creatures beginning to collect as he walked closer to the tower, all of which were drooling and eyeing him hungrily. Jack stopped a few yards from the tower entrance, he was surrounded by corrupt bugs, they all then bowed to him, and spoke in one voice. "WE AWAIT THY DECREE OH MASTER OF THE CORRUPTION." ============================================================= Chrysalis had made it out of her once loyal city, only Pupa, Spric, and a few guards had made it, they all began to make their way out of the Badlands, toward Equestria. Chrysalis turned and looked behind her, the Kingdom she once knew, gone, children, dead, all hope of rebuilding, lost. As she turned back to look ahead she notice a small green dot, she thought she saw it grow for a second, then came a deafening roar, all from the direction of that dot, it too was headed for Equestria. =============================================================== Marcus was standing outside the door of the throne room, Luna was arguing with her sister, all concerning this new person, The Artist, who looked rather familiar. He left things to be solved among those two, the thing worth being interested in was the fact that things worked different here, that's for sure, not only were they even more wicked, but they were faster stronger and scarier too, no that he was scared. But what made them so powerful, why were they all working together, they hated each other before, the only ones that did work together were the haunted Mech bosses. Through all this thinking he noticed his messages, they were showing that the nurse and the gun salesman had moved in, how did he miss that? Oh yeah, the whole walking into the wrong room, were the love birds were going at it, bad turn he thought. "Sup?" A voice asked from behind him. "Hey pinks," Marcus greeted. "Whats the matter?" Pinkie could hear his distress. "Just the situation we are now stuck in," Marcus knew she knew. "Yeah, kinda sucks," Pinkie said, "But hey at least it can't get worse!" Plantera has awoken. "Au contraire," Marcus stated. MeanwhileFirst thing she noticed, it was warm, next thing she noticed, it was dark, last thing she noticed, she was chained up. Then she heard, "We cannot seem to get it's armor off, whatever it was made for, it will not come off," the first voice said. "Then pry it off," the second voice commanded. "But sir, what if it is part of the creature, that may harm it," the first voice pointed out. "True," the second voice said, "Wait, it has awoken." "Oh joy, now I can get answers," the first voice said. "Don't give it too much info while it is awake," the second voice warned The door, as she just noticed split in half and opened, one goat like creature walked through while the other walked away. The door closed behind the creature, " Hello, I am Minos, who are you?" The creature sure was tall, and muscular. "No? Well then," The creature sure did look ugly, she tried to pull free, no luck, "Don't try, not even Discord could break those," Disco what? she hoped it wasn't a disease. "Anyway, you are in a place called Tartarus, you crashed through the ceiling of this mini world and have caused quite a riot," he stopped and took a small breath, "The usual punishment is vaporization, but you are, unique." "So, that means that I get the pleasure of finding out what you are, and what you are made of," he stopped and pulled out a small knife, "This will only hurt for the first hour." Running Nope.avi She then put a little force into pulling out the metal brace on her arm, breaking it like it was made of paper, she then grabbed Minos by the throat. Through clenched teeth she hissed right into his face, "Point to the exit and you may live." Minos pointed toward what she thought was a hole in the wall, a distance away, she then dropped him and pulled the rest of the restraints off. She then huffed and began to walk down a long dark corridor, doors were lining the wall on each side, some of them held the sound of muffled screaming, others had laughter. She hadn't made it three feet from her end room when an alarm went off, she turned and saw Minos, pressing a button and smirking at her, many of the rooms around her began to open, more creatures walked out and surrounded her. "That creature is new, we do not even know what to call it, I want it back alive," Minos ordered from the room, She really hated that dude. All the creatures pounced on her and attempted to restrain her arms and legs, not happening, as she pushed some into the wall, or knocked them over she felt an odd thing clamp around her neck, she then felt a zap as she held a creature down. She began to feel light headed, not today, she grabbed the collar and ripped it off, she then crushed it and jabbed a creature in the face with it. Before any others could lay a hand on their new experiment it pulled out a glowing sword and began to cut a path towards the door, many Minotaur fell over, missing something, from arm to legs, to missing their heads. She rushed through the hallway and was coming up on the door, she lifted her sword to cut it open....and...... ============================================================ Marcus, Pinkie, Luna, and Lyra were all spread around Plantera and attacking with all their might, it had some effect, but not doing much otherwise. Plantera had it's vines clamped to the towers and buildings surrounding the battle ground, it growled and shot more stingers out at Pinkie, easily dodged. "We need some kind of plan!" Marcus yelled over the shooting him and Pinkie were doing. "Like what?!" Pinkie yelled back. "We need to find some way to crush Plantera!" The monster turned to Marcus at the mention of it's name, "Oops." Marcus jumped up and began to run away as Plantera chased him. Pinkie and Lyra both ran right up after it while still assaulting it, Luna however hung back and began to devise a plan, this creature was a major threat if not dealt with swiftly, but how? Her gaze wandered the ruined crossway they began the battle in, her attention shifted to the tall tower near the outer wall, it was missing most of it's support, perfect. Back with Marcus things were suckish, he was being chased by a killer plant, he was running low on health potions, and he ran out of bullets, so life was just wonderful. But Pinkie and Lyra were hammering away at it's health, he turned and examined it, nearly half health, not good. He jumped up and flew over Plantera, Marcus then turned, flew up and ran the other way, Pinkie and Lyra began to run, they were all headed toward the battle ground again. As soon as the three others ran out of the center Luna yelled, "NOW!!!" From behind the tower a single person started to push and lift the tower over the center, right as Plantera crossed into it, and SMASH! Plantera was hit by the tower and was plunged through the floor of the kingdom, all of it's vines pulling out bricks and tiles as it fell, roaring in agony. Marcus checked his messages for any sign of victory, nothing, then he heard a roar from below, vines began to shoot up and hook onto the buildings, up came a pissed plant, it looked like a flower with carnivorous vines flying everywhere, phase two. =========================================== She woke up again, this time with restraints covering most of her body, she pulled, nothing happened, she pulled harder, again nothing, she attempted to call her sword, nothing happened, she then knew what she was held in, Chlrophyte. "Don't bother trying to escape," A disembodied voice advised, " I made sure you were properly held, after all, what other material could hold the great Terrarian Triforce?" They knew her title, but how? she decided not to answer, "Come now, not even a threat?" The voice said, starting to sound familiar, "I thought I knew you better than that." Ok WHO was this? "Don't stew too much dear," A darkened shadow dropped from the ceiling and decloaked, "As long as I'm here, you'll be staying here, safe." That explains it, another Terrarian, and a Merc at that, Shirno Yavi', or 'Silent', he was an Assassin for hire back home, guess he still is. Him and her had somewhat of a close past, and not one that was too pleasant either, they were old enemies, and close siblings. "So how much are they paying you?" She asked, "Fifty gold?" "Thirty Platinum at least," He somewhat boasted, "Second best paycheck so far." "All that to keep me here?" She feigned shock, "I'm Flattered!" The door opened and Minos entered, he took a glance at Silent and turned back to his project, she was staring at him and keeping quiet. "You were quite the trouble earlier," Minos had a smug ring to his tone, "But that changes not what we have planned for you, prepare yourself." Shirno turned to leave, "No no, you will not be leaving i'm afraid," Minos said, "You see, we heard what you had said to her, you had us fooled, thinking you were a Khajiit mercenary, but now we know what you really are, Terrarian." "Let me guess, you want to strap me to a table and rip me apart like her," He pointed to her. "Yes, and you will not be getting that last paycheck we promised," Minos laughed a little, bad move. "Ah I see," Shirno calmly reponded, too calm, "But there is a problem." "And what would that be?" Minos snorted. "You assume I will just lie down and die," Shirno smashed a control panel near him and the restraints holding her began to release, time to go. She pulled free as the restraints lifted, she then pulled out and old Excalibur sword she didn't need and pinned Minos to the wall with it, right through the throat. "Thanks," she said. "Yeah yeah later," He replied, "Now come on Leana kir!" They ran and fought their way to the exit, they were going to see the light again, and they would finally be free. Best left unkownOk, to recap. The plant was pissed. Marcus has no ammo. Luna's initial plan partially failed. Lyra ran off somewhere. Yeah, Marcus was not having a good day, and now a flower was out for blood, he saw Luna freak out for a moment before rushing forward to help. Marcus stood at front, smashing the small carnivorous plants and occasionally hitting Plantera, all of it did very little, except the occasional pop as the smaller plants were destroyed. "Wonder where Lyra went," Marcus muttered as he continued to smash away at Plantera. "Worry not! I have come to assist you!" Luna yelled right in his ear. "Gee thanks," Marcus muttered again. They were fighting like crazy, doing more and more damage quicker, Plantera backed up slowly, very few vines were left and fewer were still fighting. Suddenly Plantera pulled all it's vines to one side and started to weave them together, before they knew it all the vines were one huge mace-like weapon, the two Terrarians backed up to avoid getting hit, none of them saw the second mace come from behind them, wham! Marcus landed on the outer wall of the city, crushing a portion of the wall as he collided with it, knocking the air out of him. Luna went flying through a couple buildings before coming to a stop, she was laying down, attempting to wait out the pain. "That went well," Marcus managed to squeak, he looked up and saw Plantera turn and start heading for him, before he could even attempt to stand up Lyra walked in and yelled at Plantera. "HEY FLOWER FREAK!!!" Lyra yelled, that got Plantera's attention, "TAKE THIS!!!" Lyra, with all the power she could summon, formed a giant hand, at least two times bigger than Plantera, and smashed Plantera, right into a fine goo. Marcus got up and walked over to the splat, not much was left, then an energy collected over the body, 'again?' Marcus thought. "You fought well Terrarian, but in vain," The energy Plantera said, "You will die knowing true pain." It then dissipated. Plantera has been defeated. ================================================================ Leana Kir had just escaped Tartarus and managed to bring someone with her, Shirno was panting beside her, he was not used to tanking it. "Never again!" He managed. "Oh come on, i'm not even winded!" Leana laughed. "Unlike you, *GASP*, I am meant for- stealth," He straightened up. "Yeah yeah, sneak and quick assassinations," She waved him off. "So where are we off to, *gasp*, now?" He asked. Leana frowned, she hadn't thought of that, "Um, I.... don't know." "All that and no plan?" Shirno cleared his throat. "Yup! But don't sweat it!" Leana shrugged it off. Shirno's face reddened and twisted into an angry glare, "You were supposed to have a plan!" She pulled back and gave him an uneasy look, his glare sent a shiver down her spine, "Um yeah?" His arms fell to his side, he hung his head, "Just get us to civilization." Leana perked back up, "Ok!" They began to trek out into what seemed a barren valley, no too much to do, and Leana was humming a joyful tune as they walked, this is why Shirno worked alone he reminded himself. He facepalmed several times as she switched tunes, he most likely had a red mark under his hood, but every time she began to hum another he couldn't help it. "Must you?" Shirno hissed. "Yup!" She said without hesitation. "It's like listening to a music box," He muttered, " Only without an off button," he said slightly louder. "Thank you for the intermission," Her voice dripping with venom, enough to make him stop dead in his tracks, he gave a nervous smile, "Now back to the regular program!" She said, all happy again. "Gheesh," He mumbled, making sure she couldn't hear. "Hey," Leana said "Ok sorry," He quickly stated. "Hey," She said again "And I don't mind you humming," He then added. "HEY!" She yelled, making him notice he was a full foot ahead of her. "Yeah?" Shirno asked. "Does that look normal to you?" She pointed ahead of him, he turned his head to examine what she pointed to. Shirno stared at a towering kingdom, which had an odd greenish/purplish glow, as it was becoming even more corrupted, " Corruption," he spat. "Why can I never get a break?" Leana whined, memories of her first encounter rolling in. "Better get breakin fast, cause here they come!" A wave of dark creatures came at them, roaring and drooling, fresh food. But before they could attempt to attack they stopped, they all turned up their heads and just stood there, then turned and ran back to the kingdom. "Um ok, then." "Oh whew!" She sighed. Plantera has been defeated. "What." Shirno scanned it again. "How?" she mumbled. "Apparently we are not the only ones here," Shirno wondered who it could be. "Maybe it's Camo!" Leana chirped. "Maybe, but he never really liked fighting bosses," Shirno pointed out. "True, what about Serras?" Leana asked. "Don't ever bring her up!" He growled in her face. "Just stating possibilities," she responded, " and get that close to my face again, you will be losing both eyes." Shirno pulled back, he liked seeing, but never wanted to hear that name again, he sighed and turned to walk away from the corruption, " Let's go." "Ok!" She skipped to his side. Neither realized where they were headed, of the fact that they were being spied on, they only knew they were headed for civilization, and it is called Equestria. Odd reunionMarcus sat there, watching the ponies run about, freaking out over a now dead plant, very funny, and interesting. Luna walked over and sat down next to him, she had a few bandages wrapped on her leg and arms, she then sighed, "Tia took away my video games." "Why would I care?" Marcus asked. "Cause I wanted to play a game with you," Luna hung her head, making him regret saying that. "Ok i'm sorry," Marcus said, "I'm just never had any time for gaming." Luna let out a squee, "Come with me, I have got to tell you about it!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the palace. Pinkie walked back into the battle field after getting a victory drink, she saw Luna pulling Marcus toward the palace, she fumed as they closed the door to the palace, this would not do, not at all. Drawing her Excalibur Pinkie slowly walked toward the palace, plotting Luna's demise, nothing would stop her revenge, not even cupcakes. Walking past a few guards who were investigating Plantera, or what was left, Pinkie entered the palace, then followed the laughing, she pasted an odd yet familiar statue, coming up a few flights of stairs, walking through the long hall (like in scary games). "And what abomination is this?!" Pinkie stopped dead in her tracks, she then turned and got a glimpse at what just insulted her, she found herself face to (ugly) face with a pony in a suit and combed blond hair, a unicorn. "Just who do think you are?!" Pinkie yelled, "Huh?! Explain Horn head!!" "My what a foul uneducated beast," the unicorn scoffed at her. "Watch it pal," Pinkie turned her rage to him, "You are one rude remark away from becoming a snob flavored cupcake." "My what a temper," the unicorn turned his head up a bit, "but what would I expect when something like you basks in the godliness that is Prince Blueblood?" Pinkie just stared an imaginary whole through Blueblood's head, "I'm just going to walk away," and she turned to walk away, but then heard from behind her. "Oh no you will not," Blueblood signaled his guard to hold her down, both being unicorns, which they did without hesitation, "I guess we will just have to beat the disobedience out of my new pet." Pinkie is processing this information..... Pinkie is translating through google......... Pinkie is re-evaluating message....... Pinkie has found the meaning of the sentence....... Pinkie is running Nope.avi......... Pinkie had pulled out her Excalibur, she then fought the force field with all her strength, making it possible for her next move. She swung and severed the horn off of one of the guards, making him fall over in pain, the last guard and Blueblood looked over at the injured guard in horror, then back at Pinkie as she broke free from the force field. "Now kids," Pinkie began, "It's that time, now we make some prick flavored cupcakes." ==================================================================== Shirno and Leana were just leaving the last of the badlands, instead of the endless desert, they saw an endless forest, and Leana's singing was endless. "Why in the name of Redigit did I have to get stuck with you?" Shirno managed to keep a cool head. "I dunno, why did you come with me?" Leana asked. "Whatever, where are we?" Shirno asked. "A forest?" Leana shrugged. "Right right," Shirno went back to thinking. They kept walking through the forest for what seemed like an eternity, neither talked or even looked at each other, they both just watched the forest for any movement. "Man, what an ugly forest, and that's coming from me," Shirno had learned to cope with any surrounding, but this one was just ugly, without reason too. "At least it's not as hot," Leana rolled her eyes. "Meh, I prefer the desert to jungle any day," He pulled out a shurukin and spun it a few times. "Well,*Le sigh*, why don't you take a break then?" She then started humming again, the forest became increasingly darker, until they couldn't see. "Okay, now I miss the ugly forest," He stopped along with Leana. "It's alright, I got a shine potion," Leana quickly drank one, when she could see she threw one to Shirno, who drank one. "Ah sweet light," Shirno went to make a three sixty so he could check his surroundings, upon doing a one eighty he came face to face with someone new, someone he doesn't like. "Hello!" The person said, making both the Terrarians jump back, both pulled out weapons, ready for a fight, "Calm down you wimps." "WIMPS!?" Leana hated being called that, but she took a good look at who had taunted her, then proceeded to put her weapon away and take a step back. "What are you doing here!" Shirno never let his weapon falter for a second. "Look, if you look for a fight with me you will never win," The person said, placing a hand on the knife and slowly lowering it, "And don't test me little bro." "Never call me that, you know I hate it," He sighed and put his weapon away, "Serras." "Clad you haven't changed," Serras said, she was the strongest of the Terra Gaurdians, the only one who rivaled her was Marcus, who was the smartest, and hated fighting other Guardians, she was the strongest who took on the harsh world, and became the first of the new Guardians. "What is it you want," Leana demanded. "To go with you!" Serras seemed a little too happy. "Why?" Shirno was keeping a whole lot of emotions from bursting. "So i can see Marcus again!" She seemed to have cartoon hearts floating around her, then looked back at them, "And I know the way out of this forest." "Oh, ok!" Leana forgot she was mad and motioned her to follow. "No!" Sirno yelled, both stopped and stared at him, he huffed and squinted at them, " You can't just let her tag along!" "My group, my decision," Leana turned and kept walking with Serras. "Ugh!" Shirno slouched a bit and followed behind. "Oh get over it," Serras said with as much kindness as she could allow without sounding like a murderer. ========================================================================= Marcus had been playing Gaia four, he was being utterly destroyed as Luna waited around every corner, right where he needed to go, and got all the weapons he needed, but it was fun. "Got the flag!" Luna said, escaping his base. "Not for long!" Marcus said. "Just you wait," she was almost at her base. "Nope!" he exclaimed, he had managed to snipe her before she got to base. "Hey!" she frowned, and waited to respawn. "Gotcha, sniper style," he had returned his flag and prepared to defend. "You're in for it now-" Luna and Marcus jumped when they heard a huge crack, they paused the game and rushed to the hallway, weapons ready. Both stopped when they reached the hall, in the hall there lay two mutilated guards, one still breathing, but the side of his face was cut open. They then noticed Pinkie, who stood there with her Excalibur in her right hand, and Blueblood in her left, dangling in the air, Pinkies' hair was flat and dark. "Pinkie?" Marcus called, Pinkie turned her head to him, she had an eerie smile one her face, blood around her mouth, but she did no action, made not move, just stared. "Ooh, more cupcake material," Pinkie dropped Blueblood and started to walk towards Marcus and Luna, the Lunar Terrarian turned and ran toward the throne room, Marcus just stood, with his Paladin's hammer drawn, he really didn't want to do this. "Pinkie, please, snap out of it, I don't want to hurt you," Marcus felt a pang of sadness, this was not the first time this had happened to someone he knew, he watched as she approached, she never took a misstep, never slowed her pace, and just kept approaching as she lifted her bloody Excalibur. "I never said I was Pinkie, no, i'm Pinkamena," She struck with deadly speed and power, only to be blocked by the Hammer, she pushed in close as she came close to his face, she held a seductive look as she came closer, while he held an expressionless gaze to hers, "I know you love Pinkie, why not love Pinkamena?" "Because, she gave me a reason to love her, you did not," Marcus wasted not time as he threw purification powder right into her face, making her cough and fall back, falling to the ground, soon her hair puffed up again, she was back. Pinkie got up slowly, holding her head, sh groaned as she got back up, looking at Marcus with sad eyes. "I- i..... i'm sorry, I didn't mean to give in," Pinkie felt tears fall as she turned to go, she lost control, why would her still care for her? Suddenly she felt him embrace her and say something, "It's alright Pinkie, I almost lost control the first time I came into contact with the Corruption, It's alright," He hugged her close and let her cry, he knew, he knew what it felt like to have the Corruption hit, saying and doing things that made you go insane. The source of this Corruption, Blueblood, had fled the scene, leaving the dead guards, and them, right as an army of guards marched in from both sides of the hallway, catching a glimpse of the dead guards, and a bloody pinkie. If things couldn't get worse, it did, as the voice of Celestia called out, "SEIZE THEM!!"
No Sleep tonightMarcus Davens, a tall Terrarian with Brown eyes, black hair, a red shirt, brown pants, and red Steampunk goggles ran all around his settlement, not a single thing would get in he swore, he looked up, yep still a Solar Eclipse and he didn't dare use his jetpack in a situation like this. He still continued to run around the towns edge, killing a few Creatures from the swamp, a couple vampires, and the occasional Frankenstein, ever since he put up the lava trap trench around the city he had to deal with less monsters than before, thankfully. The sun began to set and the monsters began to run, alright so he would have to buy more bullets from Darius for his sniper then he would go home and sleep, as he started walking to the gun shop he saw a message in the bottom left of his screen that made him stop and sigh. A Blood moon is rising. "No sleep tonight," Marcus sighed, he turned around and began to patrol the city edge again, and if it wasn't any worse, it was a full moon,that means werewolves, so he began to kill any monster who had made the leap over the gap. While doing so he had a feeling he hadn't felt since he fought the Eye of Chtulu, like the evil presence was watching him, he checked his messages, nope no message, but he kept his guard up. From over the city a creature watched him, his eyes following the Terrarian as he fought, "You could be promising," it said as it snapped it's fingers and it's discordant body dissipated. =============================================== Princess Celestia had not seen a Solar eclipse in a very long time, at least not one this clear, she watched and smiled, knowing the amazing event brought smiles to her subjects face. A guard burst through the door panting, with a look a fear on his face, " Yes Bright sky, what can I help you with." The guard bowed and began to apologize, " No need to apologize, now what is it that made you so nervous," Celestia asked in a calm, caring voice. " Discord ........is not ....anywhere to............ be.... found, nopony has..... reported........ even a single trick," Bright sky gasped out, he bowed his head, trying to catch his breath. "There is no need to worry, I can sense no chaotic energy at work," Celestia said thinking nothing of it. "Yes your majesty I will order the others t-" suddenly Celestia stood up and turned to look at the guard, she had worry on her face as she spoke. "Discord himself is chaotic energy, but that means," Celestia ran passed the guard toward her sister's tower, leaving the guard to piece it together. As she climbed the steps to the top of the tower she panicked over where he could have gone, she reached the top and was met by her startled sister. "Dear sister what could be so important that thou had to rush over here to see us," Luna asked looking at her sister with a concerned look. "Do you feel the lack of chaotic energy sister," Celestia asked as Luna turned and examined the magical plain, she turned back to her sister with a neutral look. "Yes but we assume this only means that Discord has not played a prank on any innocent pony." "But Discord is chaos energy lulu." " Tia thou art saying that Discord.....," Luna was realizing what this all meant, she looked back up at her sister, " Why that foolish worm!" Discord had done something very few dared to do, and it would come back to bite him.The sentence was imprisonment for what Discord had done, and both the sun and the moon watched for the chaos god to return, waiting. ======================================================= Marcus was walking home after the blood moon set, he wanted to rest, but he knew he had things he had to do first. He walked into the gun shop, Darius was standing by the wall, trying to mound the jaw of Skeletron Prime, Darius turned and saw Marcus enter. " Looking to get more bullets Camo," Darius asked, Marcus was known as Camo ever since he managed to create Shroomite armor, the effects make you invisible if you stand still for 3 seconds. Marcus looked up and nodded his head, " I only got thirty five bullets left," Darius laughed and went over to his safe to pull out his bullet selection. "'Hey, you talk to Hope yet," Darius looked at Marcus, Hope was the town Steampunker, an inventor if you will. "Look bro, if you want to talk to her you go ahead, she is a nice gal, don't be afraid." "I'm not afraid, I just wonder if she has free time so we could, you know, talk." "HAHA, oh well then go ask her out." "What if she says no?" "You two talk and laugh all the time, why would she say no?" Darius thought about this for a second. " Yeah I guess, well thanks Camo, your the best." After Marcus bought some ammo he exited and began walk to the center of the town, The Guardian's Post, suddenly there was a message that popped up. Pinkie the party girl has arrived. Marcus stopped and looked around, coming up the road from the south a girl in rainbow knee socks, pink short skirt, and light pink shoes and shirt with puffy pink hair looked around at the people and their homes as she passed, Marcus noticed she had a backpack on. Pinkie approached the Tall Terrarian," You MUST be Marcus Davens, hi I'm Pinkie, how are you. "Yeah hi pinkie, I'm good," he replied, a little put off by the party girl. "So you live in this tower thingy too?" "Yeah I... wait too?" "Yeah silly I was shown to live here." Each person who showed up were shown a vision of the house they would live in, and that could not be changed. "Oh, um, well, I guess I could make another room so-" "Why? I don't bite." "Well I wouldn't feel very comfortable if-" "Oh don't worry, I don't sleep talk." Marcus gave up, " Ok then." He showed her the house and told her about staying inside during Blood moons and such. She knew about safety of the people and such. After Marcus left to to talk with Nila the town dryad, pinkie managed to unpack quickly and decided to look in the chests in the corner. She opened the chest and saw a set of Hallow gear and other Hallow weapons, "Oooh, shiny," she stopped before she touched it, Marcus wouldn't like her touching his stuff she thought. ========================================================= Both Princess Celestia and Luna kept watch over the magical plain for any evidence of chaotic energy, both saw Twilight Sparkle coming up to their throne room, Twilight burst through the doors and looked from Princess to Princess. "I came as soon as I got your letter Princess Celestia, what happened to Discord," Twilight asked nearly out of breath. "Be calm my faithful student, we will enlighten you shortly," Twilight sat down and folded her wings, "But where are the other Elements of Harmony?" " They are talking to Shiny about what they missed, Twilight said smiling. "Captain Shining armor doth be a rather fun stallion to converse with," Luna said slightly day dreaming. Both Twilight and Celestia looked at Luna with small smiles on their faces, "What? we only speak the truth." "Princess what is it that Discord did that was so bad," Twilight said looking back at her mentor. "Discord has traveled to another reality by breaking the walls of both our reality and the reality he managed to get to." "The worm," Luna muttered. "But Princess, aren't the walls of reality a law?" Twilight asked, glad she had studied this. "They normally are my little pony, but this is Discord, God of chaos we are talking about, and if he returns he will be in major trouble." "What would happen?" Twilight was actually worried for Discord. " Imprisonment at the least, death as the most." Celestia sighed. "Good riddance," Luna mumbled. " Me and my sister are currently trying to patch the hole before both realities collapse," Celestia said ignoring Luna. "Ok I will go get the girls and explain this all to them," Twilight said as she turned to leave. "Thank you My faithful student," Celestia said before going back to watching the Magical plain. ================================================= Marcus was happy he could finally go home and rest, when the night began he saw a massage he hadn't seen since the world had changed again. It's going to be a terrible night. When he beat The Twins he collected the souls and Hallow bars and headed home, when he reached the tower he went up to his room, he put his jetpack in his inventory, when he got in his room he noticed the lights were off. Oh yeah Pinkie, he thought as he made his way to the bed, he didn't care if Pinkie slept in his bed. He. was. bushed. Marcus lay down on the bed and pulled the covers over him, as sleep slowly took him he felt Pinkie wrap around him, "Mmmm," Pinkie quietly purred pulling in closer and snuggling up to him. As he fell into the wonderful embrace of sleep he knew something was happening when he heard a faint laugh, but he only wanted to sleep. Marcus woke up slowly and immediately knew he was not in his home, when he tried to sit up he found that someone was still wrapped around him, he looked and found Pinkie still holding him, sleeping nice and sound on him. Before he finished deciding whether or not to wake her, Pinkie stirred and woke up slowly, "Marcus? What happened to you last night? Wait where are we?" Pinkie sat up suddenly and looked around, she turned to Marcus and realized she was holding him, "Oh sorry, I don't usually do that." "It's ok Pinkie, but I have no idea where we are," Marcus said now realizing they were not even on a bed. Suddenly a Mint green horse with a horn walked into view, "OMIGOSH HUMANS! HEY CAN I TALK TO YOU!?" He said the only thing that came to his mind, "Dafuq?"
The Hallow?"OMIGOSH HUMANS! CAN I TALK TO YOU?" Marcus stood up quickly and jumped forward with his Terra Blade drawn, he would not let this unicorn hurt Pinkie. This action made the mint unicorn stop and stare at his blade, " Ok easy I just wanted to talk to you," the Unicorn said backing up. " What is this, are you some kind of new Hallow creature?" Marcus asked staring with an angry look plastered to his face, "WELL WHAT ARE YOU?" "I'm a p-pony, m-my name is Lyra," the pony said cowering before his blade, " P-p-please don't h-hurt me." The pony began to cry and shake uncontrollably, "Stop it Marcus you scared her!" Pinkie yelled at him, he turned his head and looked at Pinkie, she was not happy, so he put his blade away. "I'm very Sorry Lyra I just wanted to make sure you didn't hurt my friend Pinkie," Marcus said, suddenly the mare calmed down a little and looked at him. "P-pinkie?" she asked looking at him, then at pinkie. "Ayup that's me!" Pinkie bubbled helping the shaken pony up, " And your name is Lyra, what a pretty name." " Ah t-thanks Pinkie, hey y-you know you look like a friend of m-mine?" *Gasp* "I do? What's her name? Is she a pony too?" "Yeah, her n-name is Pinkie PIE and she is a party pony!" "OOH I wanna meet her, can we Marcus?" Marcus had put his jetpack on and was ready to explore, "Um sure just follow Lyra I guess." He then took off and noticed that they were on they edge of a massive forest, " I feel like I'm looking at a cliché here." Pinkie watched Marcus take off and looked back at Lyra, she noticed that Lyra was a little shorter than her, "Hey you ready to go?" "Sure," Lyra said feeling better, she turned and walked toward town, " Just follow me." Both Lyra and Pinkie headed into to town to meet Pinkie Pie, but It would take a lot of effort to find her. ================================================== Luna was brought out of her concentration by a flash of chaos energy, " Tia did you feel that? A spike in chaos energy?" Celestia looked over at her sister," Yes, but it was not constant so it cannot be Discord, but maybe Discord brought something here?" "Tis probably a horrible creature of unmeasurable power," Luna said grimly, "Oh lulu you read too many comics," Celestia laughed. "If thou art done, may we go and investigate whatever this strange occurrence was, it happened near Ponyville, and we wish to see the pink one again." "Ok Lulu but be safe, nopony knows what discord brought here and it would be best not to destroy another town." "We will dear sister, worry not," Luna got up and began to walk out, " Oh guard." "Yes Princess?" "Please keep an eye on old sunbutt here ok?" Luna told him as she walked out. "Yes Princess you have my word." Celestia's mane started on fire, "SUN WHAT??!!!!" she fumed. Luna burst out laughing as she left the castle, leaving the poor Guard to explain. =============================================== From the over the town Marcus saw that it was not too different from his own little town, except that it bordered a humongous forest, and the fact that it had a giant tree that he assumed was a house, he also notice a house made of gingerbread? He would have to explore that later, so Marcus went and landed by it for a closer look, yup still a tree,but from inside he heard a loud crash and a small explosion. He went and knocked on the door, soon the door opened but he saw nobody, then from lower down he heard something, " How can I help you si-" Marcus looked down, " Oh hi I was wondering if you were ok, cause I heard a....... dude you are one funky lizard." "I'm a dragon, but what are you?" Spike asked quizzically, " Wait are you one of those humans Lyra always talks about?" "Um well I-," Marcus never finished his sentence, Luna had arrived and assumed he was a deadly monster, she had shot him with a magic bolt, that seemed to get his attention. He turned and looked at the Princess, who was flying and ready to shoot if he made a sudden movement, "What manner of beast are you? Why have you attacked this poor drake?" Marcus turned and noticed the smoke coming out of the library, " Look I didn't-oof!" Luna had shot him again. "I will hear no lies from the agents of Discord whelp," Luna was mad and just wanted to get rid of it and get on. " I don't want to hurt you so please stop," Marcus said honestly. "YOU hurt US, your are sorely mistaken and I will end you NOW!" Luna fired a pure Lunar beam at Marcus, he was engulfed in the attack. After it dissipated Marcus checked his stats, that only did nine damage, weak. "My turn," he shot a white bolt of the Spectre Staff, Luna easily dodged it but did not see it turn around and hit her from behind. Luna began to look like the night sky, bright and with the stars dotting all over her, she was in her Night Goddess form. "YOU DIE NOW!" She hit him with all she had, blasting hard enough, even a dragon would be vaporized, after she stop she saw he still stood. "Impossible." Marcus had only been dealt 28 damage, not bad, but he decided it was over. He threw his Paladin Hammer, it made contact with Luna's head, and she was out cold. "Most interesting" He caught Luna before she hit the ground, he looked at Spike, " Hey, do you mind if she stays here? I need to find a friend and I think this pony knows you." "Uh sure, Princess Luna can, But you never really told me your name," Spike half asked. "Oh sorry, I am Marcus Davens, who are you?" "I'm Spike Gemite, nice to meet you." "The pleasure is mine little dragon." Marcus found himself feeling happy, and he liked it. After he had set Luna in the bed they had available he began his walk to find his friend, but before he did he asked spike something, "Hey do you know the pony Pinkie Pie?" "Pinkie? Yeah she works at Sugarcube corner, why?" "My friend wanted to meet her, so where do I find it?" "It's the only place made of food." "Oh yeah, thanks." "Wait, Pinkie Pie isn't here, she went to Canterlot with all her other friends." "Oh ok thanks again." He made it out of the library before something tackled him, "OOHH Marcus your ok!" Pinkie was hugging him, "Yeah just some Princess who thought I was a monster." he tried to wiggle free, but to no avail. "Silly your not a monster your my Terrarian," Pinkie froze, realizing what she had said she let go and sat up, " Um sorry I Didn't mean to, well you know." "It's ok, I, Um, just." Marcus stammered sitting up, both blushing, suddenly Lyra laughed. "You two are cute," Lyra laughed some more, both were still blushing. " I Think we should, ahem, make a place to stay while we are here," Marcus suggested, trying to change the subject. "Yeah maybe we should, where though?" Pinkie asked. "You two could stay with me, my friend Bon Bon wouldn't mind," Lyra suggested. "Thanks for the offer but we should probably build our own home," Marcus said, Lyra had a look of confusion on her face. " You see when a Terrarian needs a home, they build one." "Ook then, well I'll leave that to you," Lyra said, "And I should probably tell Bon Bon what has happened." "See ya Lyra!" Pinkie smiled, she watched the mare leave, " Shes nice." "Yeah," Marcus was thinking, "Hey how about we build a house where we woke up?" "Yeah that would be perfect!" ============================================= Celestia saw a peaceful magic plain before her, nothing to concern about, and she would have a talk with Luna when she got back. She saw a minor magic flare, she knew her sister was engaging the monster, but her energy grew, not to worry, then It spiked to only one known amount, Goddess mode. Celestia stood up and held a face of fear, to her horror Luna's energy suddenly dropped to an amount only available when unconscious. "GUARD GET ME TO PONYVILLE," Celestia yelled, she wanted this monsters head on a plate. ========================================================== While building his home, Marcus received a message that ruined his whole day. You never escaped us. "NO! Not here!" Marcus yelled, trying to keep it together. He was then overcome by curiosity, he checked the housing, only one appeared, Jack the guide. Where was Jack? "What does that mean?" Pinkie asked looking at Marcus with a concerned face, "Why did it say that?" " Because all those evil things of Terraria, are coming here," Pinkie looked scared, " How? I don't know, but we better prepare for a horrible night." "Pinkie, I can give you one of my weapons, but I don't have any spare armor." " Don't worry I managed to grab this when we were in Terraria," She then put on full Hallow gear and pulled out a Legendary Excalibur. Suddenly it the armor disappeared one piece at a time, "But I kept my familiar Vanity set to cover it." "Pretty smart there Pinkie," Marcus said realizing that this world had transformed her into a Defender Terrarian, the ones who respawn and have an inventory, he was kinda glad, cause he would need her help.
The First night (of Equestria)Princess Celestia had been thinking about how her encounter with the creature would go, she was thinking of all the outcomes possible as she was riding her carriage. She wondered how powerful the creature could be, Luna may not have been as powerful as her, but she was still a force to be reckoned with. While she was lost in thought she felt a small pull, her internal clock went off, time to lower the sun. "Steel bone, Light flight, can you please steady the carriage so I may lower the sun?" "Yes Princess," Steel bone said making his flight as smooth as possible. Celestia began to lower the sun, to her surprise it took less power than normal to lower it, how odd. Once she was done she looked back at her transport guard, " You may go at full speed once more, and thank you." " It is an honor princess," Light flight said, smiling and resuming full speed. With the night slowly covering the small town in it's cool, calm air, the Princess flew off her carriage and landed quietly as she could, she wanted the town to sleep, Celestia began to walk towards the library, time to wake her sister. Instead of having to wake Spike Celestia teleported up to Twilight's room, where she knew Luna was sleeping. "Wake up sleepyhead," She said with a motherly tone. Luna shot awake and jumped up at lighting speed, " WHERE IS IT," Luna raged, "WHERE IS THE MONSTER!" "Calm yourself sister the monster is not near here," Celestia said calming her raging sister, which did very little. " Where hath it gone then?" Luna asked looking at her sister for answers, " Did thou search for it yet?" "No but I plan to now, if you will help of course," Celestia teleported away. "Off to hunt we go," Luna grumbled, teleporting away. =================================================== Having set up house, Marcus and Pinkie both touched the bed, SpawnPoint set. they would sleep later, but for now they had to defend the town from danger. As If on Cue a message appeared on the bottom of the screen. You feel an evil presence watching you. "This may be a bad night," Marcus said reading the message, Pinkie looked at him curiously and began to ask. "But isn't he the easiest boss to beat?" Pinkie pulled out her Mini shark and loaded it. "Keep in mind that we are in a land that has most likely not seen a monster this evil, yet," Marcus said the last part grudgingly. " So what do we do?" Pinkie asked, letting the Mini shark down a little. "Well we don't want to cause too much damage to the city, so I say we face it in the forest," Marcus suggested. "Ok that makes sense, but what about the town?" Pinkie asked, worried that the town would be overrun, " The monsters would be all over the town." "Good point,hmm," Marcus thought about it for a second, " How about I take on the eye alone and you protect the town?" " Nice plan! Ready to go?" Pinkie bounced toward the door. "Sure just be careful, I don't know if the spawning really works here," Marcus warned, yes it said spawn point set, but this wasn't his world, he had to be careful. "Okie Dokie lo-," Pinkie stopped bouncing, " That was odd, never said that before." "Hmm," Marcus stopped, "Well I guess that's a new catch phrase." "Yeah," Pinkie ran out the door and headed to Ponyville, Marcus ran deeper into the forest, ready to fight, neither them saw a yellow pegasus slip into their house. ============================================ Queen of the Changelings, Chrysalis loved the way that sounded, always did, but she knew hard times were ahead, her children were slowly and quietly draining the love out of nearby towns, all to rebuild the hive. After her failed invasion the wave of magic that had sent her people flying managed to reach the hive, and it destroyed much of her beloved home, especially the nursery. She then had to explain to the high nobles that she had failed, and that did not end pretty. "My Queen!" A little voice came, getting Chrysalis's attention. "Ferum my little pupa, come to mommy," Chrysalis cooed as she watched her little filly jump onto her bed and lay next to her. "How are you feeling dear," Chrysalis asked, knowing that love was not common around her home area. "Kinda hungry mommy," The filly looked up at her mom expectantly. "Here you are baby," Chrysalis lowered her head and let her daughter suck out as much love as she wanted, ever since Ferum was born, Chrysalis found that she herself was producing endless love, and she used this new found gift to make sure her little pupa never starved. "Thanks mommy," Ferum said finishing her meal, she then smiled, "You have the best love mommy." "Only cause I love you so much dear," Chrysalis said smiling. Suddenly there was an overwhelming feeling of pure fury and malice, Chrysalis nearly collapsed from the amount of anger there was, her filly passed out, Chrysalis attempted to stand and find out what was causing this, but she began to feel dizzy and sat down. Before the Queen of the Changelings passed out she saw what she thought was an enormous eyeball pass her tower before heading toward the Kingdom of Equestria, good she would be happy to see whatever that was rip her enemy to pieces, then she was lost in her unconscious mind, dreaming of revenge, and her daughter. ================================================= Pinkie skipped into town, she was ready for the monsters, as soon as she stepped into the boundaries of the town she saw a tall dark pony land in front of her, with an evil grin on her face, "So who be you? The monsters assistant? YOU WILL FACE OUR WRATH CREATURE!" Luna began to charge her horn when Pinkie interrupted her. "HEY you must be that princess that Marcus was talking about!" Pinkie walked up and booped the Lunar Princess on the nose, "BOOP!" Luna stopped and looked at the bouncy pink girl, she didn't know how to react to this, and it stirred up memories, " What hath.... um we.....," she couldn't form a proper sentence, she was lost in the lovely memories that brought, then she spoke calmly, " You remind us of the pink one." "Pink one? Oh the pony Pinkie Pie?" Pinkie asked, "Yeah I wanted to meet her but you will do. Hi I'm Pinkie, whats your name?" Luna, obviously still shocked, spoke, " Tis a lie, thou cannot posses the name Pinkie, it belongs to the young pony Pinkie Pie. What is thy real name monster? TELL ME!" " Jeez calm down, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?" Pinkie did not like talking to this meanie. "LIES WE HAD HONEY OATS CEREAL!!!" Luna roared, she hated cornflakes. "Ok Ok calm yourself, I was only messing with you," Pinkie turned to leave, she had a town to protect. Her effort to leave was stopped, she was floating back to the Princess, "Wha? Hey let me down, I got people to protect!" Suddenly the aura used to hold her froze. Luna had locked the aura, didn't want this creature to get away, "Thou have done nothing but lie, WE WILL END YOU!" Luna began to suck the air out of the magic barrier. Pinkie began to feel light headed, not only was she stuck but she felt the air begin to leave, "P-please do...n't," she was suffocating and her health began to decline slowly, she noticed a larger white pony, who she assumed was also a princess, land next to the big blue meanie. "LUNA STOP THIS YOU ARE KILLNG IT," Celestia yelled, she knew that was not what her sister usually did, "STOP LUNA!" "NO IT MUST PAY FOR LYING TO US, IT MUST DIE!" Luna Yelled in her royal voice, her eyes glowing. As the air was nearly depleted Pinkie panicked, she pulled out a handgun she was given and began to fight the aura, she was actually moving. "Not Possible, how can it do that," Luna gasped, watching the thing actually move it's arm upward. Pinkie pulled harder and managed to raise her arm faster, she pulled the trigger. The bullet ripped through the aura and before the Princess of the night knew what happened the bullet went clear through her leg and hit the ground, Luna Yelped in pain and fell over, bleeding. The aura disappeared and Pinkie dropped to the ground, choking as the air flooded back into her lungs, she lay there and collected her scattered thoughts. "What did y-you do to us?" Luna cried weakly, " W-we hath never felt pain like t-this before." Luna continued to lay on the ground and cry, cradling her injured leg. Pinkie sat up, she was breathing heavy, but she was breathing, " I'm so sorry, I panicked and reacted, I didn't mean to hurt anyone, or pony." "You were acting out of fear, an instinct to survive, but no permanent damage was done," Celestia said, casting a healing spell on her sisters injured leg, truthfully Luna would walk with a slight limp her whole life, the bullet had hit her joint and shattered her whole joint area. "I'm still so sorry, I should have known better," Pinkie was letting the fact that she hurt someone (or pony) get to her. "We will forgive you, if you explain to us what you are doing here," Luna said, not wanting to watch as her injury heal up, she found that not watching it made her feel better. "Ok, I guess," Pinkie got ready to explain, then she began. =================================================== Marcus was walking through the forest, cutting down whatever monster dared to challenge him, they were all the first monsters, the easiest of creatures to kill, and the first nightmares he had ever encountered. He found himself thinking of Pinkie, was she safe? and he never let her escape his mind, but he did not want to admit what he knew was true. "Where are you big boy?" Marcus quietly asked, waiting for the signal to go up, and there it was. The Eye of Chtulu has awoken. Finally, he could put this thing back in it's place, the eye floated over him, right into view. The fight began.
A new differenceWarning: We (The Artist) are not responsible for any seizures due to the amount of fourth wall breaking. Pinkie stood guard as Celestia healed Luna's injury, she had encountered a number of zombies (some of them ponies) and a couple of Demon eyes, but nothing major, in the corner of her vision she saw a message appear. The Eye of Chtulu has awoken. Pinkie truly hoped that Marcus was ok, she knew he was tough but she still worried, and she too didn't want to admit her feelings for him. "Though did not tell us how thou came to this world," Luna inquired while testing to see if she could stand, she winced as pain shot through her leg. "Well, me and Marcus were sleeping in our house one minute, then we wake up here, so I dunno," Pinkie shrugged and shot five more zombies. "Oh my apologies we did not realize that you and him were together, we pray he does not unleash his wrath upon us," Luna had a face of dread glued on, she feared their last encounter. "What? No, me and him are NOT-" Pinkie stopped mid sentence, then proceeded," HEY what do think you are achieving by making things awkward here, huh Artist?!" What do you think i'm doing? I'm helping you realize the feelings you have for Marcus. "Well I don't need help, I already know I love Marcus!" HAH! Gotcha. "Hey that was uncalled for! I should kick your butt!" The two co-rulers looked at each other, confused by this odd half of a conversation they were hearing. "No! You leave those two out of this! This is just me and you pal!" Ok! Ok, I just hope that Luna lost her Fourth-wall powers. "Pinkie, what art thou talking to?" Luna asked trying to follow her gaze, " Oh him. WAIT, YOU are the Artist?!" OH CREATOR! "You know this guy?" Pinkie asked pointing into the nothingness. " Oh so you admit you are nothing huh?" What? No, I just needed a good fill for words there. "Ahem!" Oh hi Luna. Hows it goin? "Thou have lost the right to call me that, you will call us Princess Luna now Ar-" NO! NOT YET! "What? Why hast thou told me no?" That is to be explained later, for now can we return to things? "Fine, but thou will answer us next time." Ok fine lets get back to things! Both Pinkie and Princess Luna looked back at Celestia, she had a look of shear unbelief on her face. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE??!!!" " Um, can I explain later?" Pinkie asked, Suddenly there was an explosion from the forest, looked like this matter would have to wait. "Guess this Matter will have to wait," Celestia said turning toward the direction of the sound. HAH! Totally called it! =============================================== Marcus pulled out his Mega shark and began to fire at the eye, it reacted by charging him, which he easily dodged. He threw all the grenades he had at the thing, which only pissed off the eye, it turned and charged him again, shooting littler eyes to take him out, easily killed, but he knew the eye meant business. Marcus could not determine it, but the eye was different somehow, it was more evil maybe? Either way, he would make paste of it, how hard could it be? While on land he made the most of it, Marcus pulled out his Sniper Rifle and took one shot, it went entirely past the eye, only grazing it, he looked at it's health. 18072/23000 Well that explains it, this thing has more hp than the other eyes he fought, and he knew what to do. Marcus pulled out his Nimbus rod and set two clouds above the eye, the effects were instant, the eye roared in pain as the rain quickly melted a small section in the top of the eye, running down its life rapidly. The Eye of Chtulu charged out of the rain at Marcus, it hit him back a couple of feet, 65 damage, Marcus gasped and dodged a second attack. He couldn't take too many hits from this thing, it had gone beast mode. Marcus used his Mega Shark to lower its health quicker, using his explosive rounds. 11500/23000 The eye went into phase two, a large jaw opened all around the pupil, it spun in circles until the pupil fell out, then roared at Marcus. Marcus pulled out his rainbow rod, ready to go, before he cast a thing he was hit back into a tree, 103 damage, Marcus dodged another attack, and another. His rainbow rod was flashing and blazing as it sent bright colorful orbs of energy that hit the eye, it was slowly wearing it down, Marcus jumped over the eye as it charged him. He Sniped the eye a few more times, then proceeded to dodge again and check its health. 126/23000 He checked his own health, 41/500 , he couldn't use a health potion for another 45 seconds, better end this now. Marcus pulled out one stick of TNT and tossed it in the eye's mouth before barely dodging it, The explosion knocked him down for 12 damage, he jumped up and looked for the eye. It's entire being was blown all over the ground, along with a crater. " Stew, yum," Marcus commented in disgust. A dark energy rose from the remains and formed a smaller version of the former eye, "I AM ONLY THE GATE THAT HAS BEEN OPENED FOR THE CREATURES MUCH WORSE TO COME, YOU WILL DIE HERO." the energy dissipated and Marcus was left alone. "That..... is a new one." The Eye of Chtulu has been defeated. "Again, you don't fail to entertain. ============================================ The night was ending and the town still stood, Pinkie, Princess Luna, and Celestia stood at the tree library, watching the monsters flee the soft light that was now slowly appearing. They were all chatting, " Hey would you two like to get some breakfast? Once they open we mean." "Sure I would love to! I just worry about Marcus," Pinkie said smiling happily. " From what you told us," Celestia stated, "He's probably fine." " Yeah but I still worry," both Princess's smiled. All three walked slowly to a cafe near the town hall, Pinkie accidentally bumped into a brown stallion, "Oh sorry buddy, didn't see you there." "It's quite fine miss I believe it was my f-," The stallion stared at Pinkie, "Fault.... well then just got to be going, before I start to see more humans. See you round, just got to go, um, find Derpy." "Oh Doctor, you poor stallion," Celestia said quietly, she knew him, and his past. "Um what was that about? Do you know him?" Pinkie asked, turning and looking down the alley, some trash cans and a big blue box, not much. "He's the residential time keeper," Princess Luna said, watching the stallion run off. "And an odd one." "Hmm well we best be off," Celestia cheerfully interrupted, she did not want to dwell on the doctor. They continued to walk to the cafe, talking as if they never saw the stallion, Pinkie liked these ponies, they were kind and strong. As they came into the cafe, the perfect morning light was shining, time for breakfast, they all ordered some delicious breakfast meal, ready to dig in. Pinkie ordered some waffles, Celestia ordered a morning hay biscuit sandwich, and Luna o- "Princess Luna!" Princess Luna ordered Some wheat pancakes with lovely syrup. "So since you have arrived, how are things going for you here?" Celestia asked, between bites of course. "Well things are good, I guess they could be better, and I still haven't met Pinkie Pie yet," Pinkie said, thinking of the good now, "But I met some really nice Ponies who are are called princess, and they are nice, I like them." Both princess Luna and Celestia laughed, they kinda liked pinkie, she was definitely funny. "We much enjoy your company Pinkie, you are a nice pony, er person." Princess Luna cheerfully said, and despite the odd looks from others they were getting, she was still enjoying herself, more than she had in a long time. "I'm starting to get a bit worried, I would have thought Marcus would have come back to tell me about the eye at least." Pinkie said looking out the front window, searching for any sign of him. "He probably has things under control." ================================================= For Marcus Davens, things were out of control, after the night creatures left, a bunch of wood wolves jumped him, they were defeated pretty easily, but formed one large wolf, well crap. Marcus was walking toward town, he stopped and sniped another leg off the giant wolf, it fell forward and exploded into small sticks everywhere, he knew it would get back up. He turned and watched it reform, it growled at him, the raised his Sniper Rifle and pointed it at the wolf. The wolf whimpered and backed up, then suddenly turned and ran off into the forest, Marcus let out a small laugh. He walked over to his house and stopped, there was a small cottage a little ways off, how did he miss that? Marcus walked into his home to pick up some more ammo, as soon as he opened the door he stopped. Laying next to a bookshelf was a Yellow pegasus, reading his Waterbolt book, she saw him enter, a soft eep escaped her mouth and she hid behind the bookshelf. He sighed and entered, "Ok, look I don't know who you are, but I won't hurt you, I promise." The Pegasus stayed behind the bookcase, not daring to move, "Ook, well I will get what I came for and be off," Marcus walked over to one of the chests and opened it to get some ammo, as soon as he pulled out his sniper a small squee escaped the mares mouth, Marcus turned and saw a blue water sphere hit him, then he saw the pegasus run out, holding his waterbolt book. He didn't mind, these ponies needed the defense, and if the people knew how to make these things, they would be more than well protected. He finished loading his guns and walked out toward the town, he needed to find pinkie. When he entered the town he actually looked around, lots of odd looks coming his way, he bumped into something, a brown pony, " My bad dude, didn't pay attention to where I was going." "It's ok it's not the first time today somepony bumped int-," The stallion looked him up and down, "No not again... why must you taunt me, with your being." The stallion kept staring at him. "I dunno...for teh lulz?" Marcus said shrugging. The odd brown pony ran away, not what he had expected, but then he had a strange urge to start wearing a fez, how odd. Marcus walked to the tree library, the only place he knew in this odd town of ponies, then stopped and stared at the group of brightly colored mares all talking and arguing, the yellow pegasus was in the middle, so he activated his armor bonus and became invisible. "Well darling what does it look like?" The white unicorn asked. "Well it was tall and looked like a shaved Minotaur, but it had a red shirt on and a weird metal thing on its back," The yellow one quietly stated. "I say we beat it up!" The blue pegasus suggested, who also had rainbow hair, note: avoid the rainbow one. "Now that sounds like ah poor decision, ya'll know better than tah hurt others without reason Rainbow," The (western?) orange pony said giving 'Rainbow' the stink eye, he was right, Rainbow did fit. "Fluttershy where did you see this things house?" The purple alicorn asked. "N-near my cottage, it's a nice house though." Fluttershy answered softly. "I say we go find it, and throw a welcome party for it," The pink bouncy pony happily bubbled, reminded him of Pinkie. "Pinkie, I don't think this thing will want a party," The purple unicorn spoke again, but he was interested in the pink pony, her name was Pinkie too? Marcus decided to talk to the girls, he dropped his camo and walked forward, "Hello, I couldn't help but overhear, and I would like to introduce my self, I am Marcus Davens." He looked at the mares, they all just stared at him with their mouths open in shock. The yellow pegasus screamed.
The gate opensThe yellow pegasus screamed, most of the others scrambled all over each other, trying to reassure one another, Marcus just stood there and watched the commotion. Suddenly the Rainbow pegasus flew right into his face, " Hey PAL you wanna die? Cause if you make my friend cry, you are ASKING to die!" Marcus backed up, the exact reaction he expected, but now he saw that the Purple alicorn was slowly getting things under control, while the western pony was yelling at Rainbow. After they were all quieted down, the purple pony approached, " Pardon my friends, they have never seen something like you before." Marcus noticed the wings on her back, oh boy another princess. " But If I may ask, what are you doing here? The portal shouldn't be open for another twenty five moons." Marcus didn't understand, "Um what? I'm not a human, I have no idea what you are talking about." "Surely you are a human, what else could you be?" Twilight said examining him. "Um i'm a Terrarian," Marcus stated without thinking,"I guess humans look like us." "What's a ter-rawr-ean?" Twilight asked. "Are they from earth?" "A Terrarian is what I am, and my home world is Terraria," Marcus felt like he was in a movie or something, what would it be called? E.T.? "So why are you here? You lookin to take over Equestria!? The rainbow pony asked, " Cause you ain't getting past me buddy!" The orange pony pulled the rainbow one's tail, "Calm down there Rainbow, ah don't think this fella is lookin to hurt nopony," she said looking at Marcus questionably. "Hmm? Oh no, I just want to protect your world from the monsters of my world," Marcus said, reliving the battle with the Eye of Chtulu. "Monster's? Like Zombie ponies?" He had not noticed Spike standing in the back. "Don't be ridiculous Spike, Zombie ponies don't exist." Twilight stated in a smug fashion. "Actually, some of the Zombies I faced were ponies," Marcus backed the little dragon up, "But there are more than just that." "Seriously? How am I supposed to believe that?" The blue pegasus said, obviously not believing, " How do we know you are not really one of Discord's tricks? Hmm?" ================================================= " Disco-what? Never heard of it, is it a disease?" Pinkie asked, she had never heard of it. "Discord, he is the master of chaos," Princess Luna said with a somewhat grim look. "Never heard of him," Pinkie looked at the corner of her vision. Pinkie join green team so I can find you. "What is this?" Princess Luna asked, she began to freak out, "What are we seeing? "What you can see it too?" Pinkie asked, she joined green team. " Yes, and an odd group of things have appeared in our vision as well," The Princess began to freak out, " What be this? Inventory!?" "Oh, you must be changing too!" Pinkie bubbled gleefully, "How cool!" "What? What is she changing into?" Celestia worried, "Is It something evil?" "No, she is turning into a Terrarian," Pinkie answered, she liked new friends," But I don't understand how." "Ok whew, the 'inventory' has ceased." The princess said, not so worried, she looked around, others were staring, but she was fixated on a certain unicorn stallion, sitting in the back. "Will she no longer be my sister?" Celestia asked, glancing at her sister shortly. "No, at least I don't think," Pinkie hoped she was right, "But I can't be sure." Princess Luna got up and started walking toward the back, both Pinkie and Celestia looked at each other, then watched Luna go. " Sister where are you going," Celestia asked, the Lunar Princess didn't answer, she just kept walking toward the stallion. The stallion had dark gray fur, a black mane, and was looking down with his brown eyes, writing on what The Princess thought was a journal. "Why hello Artist," The Princess smiled, watching the stallion cease writing and look up, wide eyed. "Um hello princess," Artist said, "How can i help you?" "Thou know what we are here for," The Princess leaned in closer, glaring at the poor stallion. Artist quickly lifted his pencil and scribbled something in his book, then there was a sudden burst as the entrance door swung open, Marcus walked in. Behind him were six mares, all chatting and laughing happily. The Princess of the moon yelped and ducked under the table, Marcus only stared at her, wondering what was wrong, then he remembered what had happened last time. "Princess are you ok?" Marcus asked as he bent down and looked at her, she was shaking. "Please don't hurt us, we did not know you cared for lady Pinkie," Princess Luna squeaked. "What? What happened to Pi-" "And Then I said, Oatmeal? Are you Crazy!?" both Pinkie and Pinkie Pie stopped and looked at each other, then they burst out laughing. "Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, you must be new," Pinkie Pie felt her ears twitch, then she stopped and gasped, " HEY YOUR ME!!!!!" "You must be Pinkie pie," Pinkie said, " how are ya?" "GREAT, cause I just met me!" Marcus turned his head back to the Princess, "So, care to explain what happened to Pinkie?" The Princess whimpered and shook her head, still shaking. "Don't worry, i'm not mad at you, I just want to know," Marcus scooted back, giving the Princess more space to breath. "O-oh ok, well please don't be angry by the end of this," Princess Luna began to tell him her encounter and what happened, meanwhile both Pinkies were talking about parties while Twilight talked with her mentor. After the story the night Princess told him she lowered her head, "We don't feel so good." "It's ok, i'm not mad," Marcus noticed that she did look a little sick, " Are you ok?" "We will be going, we feel that rest is needed," Princess Luna got up and ran out the door, without telling anyone where she was headed. Marcus got up and brushed himself off, he noticed a unicorn stallion scribbling madly in his little book. "Hey pal are you alright?" he asked the stallion, who looked up and nodded in response. "Ok then," Marcus turned and walked over to the others, he asked Celestia what was up with her sister, she did not know. After they had finished talking they all began to walk back to Twilight's house, only the two Pinkies were still chatting. Marcus remembered something he forgot to ask, "Celestia, do you know if there are anymore people like me here?" "I do not believe there are, why do you ask?" Celestia calmly said. "I know you know Princess," Marcus saw a clear lie in her last statement, "Where is he?" "Who? I'm afraid I don't understand," Celestia clearly knew what he was talking about. " You better not, or you will be seeing why your sister was scared of me," Marcus threatened, he saw that all the others were staring at them, " Come on Pinkie, we have things to do." "Bye Pinkie," Pinkie said, waving to her pony friends. "Bye Pinkie," Pinkie Pie waved back, still smiling. "Ok we need nicknames for you two, this is way too confusing," Rainbow said poking Pinkie Pie. Once Marcus and Pinkie got back to their home, Marcus was getting the necessary stuff to place some defense around the house, Pinkie went upstairs to put some items she got away, she yelped when she entered the room. "WHAT! What happened!? Marcus rushed up the stairs, Pinkie pointed to the bed, on it lay a person. "Oh boy." =================================================== In the deepest, darkest, dungeon under Canterlot, there was a man all bound in chains, he had lost all reason to live, but was forced to. He opened his eyes and checked a new message he saw pop up. The gates of Hell are open at last, your world will fall. The man picked his head up, with an evil grin, "Finally," He broke out in maniac laughter, chains were being pulled right out of the wall, he was breaking out of his prison.
More mysteryPinkie and Marcus stared at the person laying in the bed, neither wanted to find out who it was, but Marcus decided to go. He slowly approached the bed and made sure that the person stayed asleep, he could hear breathing, slow and calm, Marcus leaned in and went to shake them so they would wake. As soon as his finger touched the arm she screamed and smashed a door over his head, Marcus fell down, wait she? Marcus got back up, he looked at the person on the bed, she was holding a broken door and had a curious look on her face. She had dark blue hair, sky blue eyes, a blue shirt with a moon on it and dark blue jeans, Marcus realized who this was. "Oh no, this isn't real," Marcus began to freak out. "What isn't real? Are you ok?" Pinkie asked, watching him freak out. "Yes what's wrong, is it not ok for me to sleep here for a little rest?" The girl asked, then went wide eyed, "What's wrong with me, we mean us? I don't use... WE never knew this form of speech!" "REALLY!!? THAT'S ALL YOU NOTICE!?" Marcus yelled, " LOOK AT YOUR HANDS!!" "Hands? What are h-" Luna stared at her hands, she was still taking it in, "Oh those hands." Marcus prepared for her to scream again, but she didn't, she only played with her hands and looked at them with curious eyes. She then looked at her legs, felt her legs and wiggled her toes, she was enjoying this, after which she proceeded to feel her face, then suddenly shouted, "HAHA THE CUTENESS HAS BEEN DOUBLED!!" "Oh, whats up Princess," Pinkie said waving, "Wait.... Princess?" Marcus couldn't even think, he just stared as she sat there, not being a pony, and it drove him insane. " How you do dis!?" Marcus yelled. "Why? Do you like it?" Luna winked at Marcus, "Well? You like my new body?" she leaned in closer to him. "There will be NONE of that!" Pinkie pushed the two away from each other. " Now why are you in our house?" "I didn't mean to sleep here, I just needed some rest, and this is where I thought to go," Luna said as she looked back at Marcus, "But I do apologize for doing so." "It's not a problem," Marcus didn't mind. There was a knock at the front door, " I got it!" Pinkie ran downstairs to go see who it was, " Behave you two!" Both Luna and Marcus were left to talk, an awkward silence stood, neither knew what to say. "Well," Marcus began, he tried not to look at Luna, he feared that he would fall for her beauty. "Marcus, I will need your help." "Why?" "I don't know how to walk." Marcus thought about this for a second, "Ok, but it may take some time to get used to." "Thank you, I appreciate this very much," Luna wanted to learn to walk, she liked her new legs. "Ok, lets start with standing up," Marcus said, Luna slowly turned on the bed and placed her legs on the floor, she then slowly put her weight on her new legs. Marcus watched as Luna pushed herself up, she suddenly fell left, Marcus caught her and helped her stand back up, this time she only wobbled before she had balance. "Thanks." "No problem," Marcus said, she was still a little wobbly. "So whats the next step?" "Well the next step is to walk, but I think you aren't ready yet," Marcus doubted she could walk yet. "ONWARD!" Luna yelled with a smile, she made it three steps before she fell. Marcus dove to catch her, she landed on him and he let out a grunt as he hit the floor, they lay there for a second before Luna spoke, "Less than graceful." "Hehe, maybe we should work on this later, I suddenly feel light headed," Marcus said before he brought his head up, his and Luna's lips touched briefly, both stared at each other, "Um, I didn't..." "Well I just-" "HEY, WHATS GOING ON!?" Pinkie yelled from the doorway, both of them turned to look at her, Pinkie was fuming while Lyra was giggling. "Um this is not what it looks like," Marcus was about to explain when Luna cut him off. "What? We kissed, why are you so ashamed hmm?" Luna smiled and winked at Marcus again, "U Jelly Pinkie?" Pinkie was a raging force of nature now, "Oh you bet!" She pulled out her Excalibur. ============================================= Princess Celestia was having fun hanging with Twilight and her friends, she never really got too many chances to get away from hearing about the latest news from Saddle Arabia, or the war in Afghaneighstan, or escape being worshiped by snotty nobles. Her only concern is that she wondered what happened to Luna, but she dismissed the worry, she only wanted to enjoy this time. She heard a sudden thud behind her, she turned to spot a small grey pegasus mare with golden hair laying on the ground, all sprawled out. " Hello Derpy, how is it I can help you?" The mare got up and bowed, " Sorry princess, I'm here to give you a letter." "A message? Thank you Derpy," Celestia levitated the message over to her. "It's an honor Princess." Celestia calmly read over the scroll and gasped, "Whats wrong Princess?" Twilight had interrupted, they were all sitting at the table and staring at her. "I must go my faithful student," Celestia stood up and began to walk, " Canterlot is under attack." "Let chaos ensue little Tia." ========================================== Marcus had just finished explaining the whole situation to Pinkie when there was a knock at the door, " Wonder who that could be." Everyone was at the door when Marcus opened it, Celestia stood there with worry on her face, "Marcus, we need your help." "What happened?" "The prisoner we have been holding has finally escaped, an he is Terrarian," Celestia cringed as she saw his face fill with anger. "Lets get going, we don't know what this fool has pushed him to do," Marcus made no attempt to hide his anger, " Pinkie, get Luna some gear and weapons, we don't know what Jack is capable of." Celestia looked confused, then she realized that the blue haired girl is her sister," Wha-" "No time, lets go." ============================================= Jack the guide was having fun, he ripped another guard in half with his Terra blade, Chaos and death and murder, that's all he could thing of. He wanted to find the Princess of the sun, he wanted to personally rip her limb from limb, she would pay for making him suffer. He turned and began to exit the throne room, but found his path blocked by a pinkish shield, he saw a lone guard standing with his horn lit outside the barrier, "Stop this right now or my men will be forced to subdue you!" Jack thought this through, then responded, "Send your men, i would love to tear another one of your kind apart!" The guard stood there with a disgusted look on his face, " You are a monster!" Jack pulled out a new weapon he invented, the S.D.M.G, which looked like a dolphin, "Yes, but at least it's a living." He fired at the shield non-stop, the barrier began to crack, and some holes were punched through by a few bullets. Jack put the gun away and punched the shield, it shattered on contact. The guard stood there, dazed by the magic shatter, Jack walked toward the stallion with a drawn sword, time to kill the pretty pony. "I am Captain Shining armor of the royal guard, you will not be recaptured," The stallion took a fighting stance, " You will be killed right now, you are too dangerous to keep alive!" "Bring it horn head," Jack taunted, " been a while since I did hand to hand." Both lunged at each other, neither saw the chariot approach the castle. "Time to step up my game, prepare to have your Jimmies rustled, Mwuhahahaha!"
Nothing to LoseThe Chariot that held Celesria, Marcus, Luna, Pinkie, and Lyra with a chainsaw, approached the capital of Equestria. Celestia felt her eyes begin to water, her city was burning, and her guards were painted on almost every wall, this was what she never thought she would ever see. Luna grabbed her shoulder, "Keep calm sister, we know how you feel." Celestia hung her head. Everyone and pony turned toward the balcony of the throne room, there, locked in battle, was Jack the guide and Captain Shining Armor, Jack was slowly overwhelming the poor stallion. Suddenly Shining's last shield went down, he lay on the ground as Jack pulled his Terrablade out, but before he could end the knight, a green bullet shot the guide back into the wall, dazing the killer. Marcus was flying toward the balcony, with his sniper still drawn, taking shot after shot at the deranged Terarian, The guide deflected two of the five bullets that left the sniper barrel. He pulled himself out of the wall, and brought his S.D.M.G up, firing at Marcus, only to miss most of the time, just as Marcus landed both of them drew their melee weapons. They began to exchange blows, neither touching each other, Marcus slammed his hammer as hard as he could into the guides Terrablade, only to knock it out of blocking position, perfect. Marcus hit the guide in the face with as much force as he could, knocking Jack through the wall, with a crash heard from inside. "So is he... you know, gone?" Marcus turned around and saw Celestia with the others, watching him. "No, he just too-" A spray of bullets came from inside the building, the first hit Marcus's shoulder, then the princess put up a shield, deflecting the bullets, but the shield was already breaking. "OK, YOU ALL NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" "NO, WE FIGHT!" Luna yelled. The shield broke, bullets sprayed past them all, a few hit Marcus and Pinkie, Luna got hit in the leg, but Celestia was shot through the chest, falling over in pain. Marcus yelled and pulled out his Megashark and began to return the favor, him and Jack slowly walked toward each other, not bothering to dodge a single bullet. As they drew close they switched to their melee weapons and fought again, a few hits passing each of their defenses, Marcus was not as strong as Jack, both of them knew that. Jack went into the whole 'light saber strength battle' with Marcus, pushing him back slowly, Jack was smiling as he saw this. Marcus didn't see Jack pull out his Phoenix Blaster, which he proceeded to aim, before he took a shot Pinkie shot Jack in the throat, making him lose his focus and and his sword falter, Marcus took the opportunity to hit Jack under the chin. K.O. Everbody, and pony, then rushed over to Celestia's side, she was bleeding out, and no amount of magic could fix it. "What do we do!" Luna yelled, there was no way to help, they all knew. Marcus couldn't accept that, he pulled out a greater health potion and had Celestia drink it, hoping it helped he watched for signs of healing. nothing. They watched as Celestia slowly bled to death, Luna was crying without a stop to catch her breath. Before they had time to react Celestia jumped up and began to pant, her wound was nothing but a round patch of stained fur. "I feel GREAT!" Celestia said, "Were was this stuff when I fought Discord?! I feel WONDERFUL!" Everyone sighed in relief, everypony was still in shock, this was very odd magic they had witnessed. Shining still lay on his side, "Hey can I get some of that?" ==================================================== Jack had taken the time to escape while they worried over their doomed friend, he was walking in the valley under the kingdom, looking for any sign of the Underworld, or Corruption, or even Hallow. He needed something to back him up, he needed Ci. Under normal circumstances he would never agree with that lunatic, but the results of his long study were impressive to say the least. Alone Jack could bring a god to his knees, but with Ci, he could destroy the creator himself, but for now he kept searching, hoping for his chance to come again. ======================================================= "So any idea where he went?" Luna asked looking at Marcus. "To get backup," Marcus said, he wondered where he would go in this strange world. "Where would he get backup?" Celestia asked. " If i'm right," he stopped, "and I am, all of these homes and rooms you have built in this castle will be housing for the new arrivals." "New arrivals?" Pinkie echoed," So does that mean I get to throw lots of parties?!" "Normally I would say yes," Marcus turned to the rest of them, "But i still don't know for sure what they are like in this world." "That Jack was sure proof," Luna said. "But why would they move in here?" Celestia asked. "For one, this castle is made of pearlstone, a very beautiful material," Marcus said, " And all the rooms have lots of space." "How did you know this was made of pearlstone?" Celestia asked. "I know the material texture anywhere," Marcus tossed the S.D.M.G Jack dropped to Luna, " And It gives off a happy vibe." As the conversation continued Luna was investigating the S.D.M.G, it looked like a dolphin with some gear strapped to it's heads. She loaded her own ammo and began to play with it, she was a Termineightor one minute, and a secret agent the next. She aimed it off the right of the balcony and stopped, she saw a strange cloaked figure walking toward the front gate, she noticed some blue reflect from under the hood (Super Vision!!!). "Um hey guys?" "Hold on Luna." Marcus said, he was in an argument with Celestia. "Guys." "HOLD on sister," Celestia hissed, never removing her eyes from Marcus. "Hey Pinkie." "Yeah?" "Look." Luna pointed to the figure still approaching. "Cool!" Pinkie said, she pulled out Binoculars. =================================================== The guy sneezed, how odd, but he kept his path toward the white castle, very pretty castle. He shot the guards and they blew up into bits, he then proceeded to pass the gate, he was home. Ci the Cyborg has arrived.
Let chaos ensueMarcus and Pinkie were running down the tower, the rest were watching in horror as Ci blew up any guards that attempted to stop him. He was even singing a merry song, his weapon was like a giant metal claw, the explosions that came from the bombs were small enough not to hurt anypony other than the guards. He knew that killing the civilians would be a mistake, suddenly he saw two Terrarians standing just up the street, they were holding weapons and looking right through him. "Well hi there!" Ci tried to ignore the looks on their faces. "HI!" Pinkie said cheerfully. "Ah, Pinkie," Marcus sternly said. "Oh right serious," Pinkie dropped the smile and stared at Ci, "What are you doing?" "I don't know what you mean," Ci said innocently "You know what I mean." "I don't think I do." "Lie to me again see what happens." "I'm 2,000 years old," Ci said with a small frown. "That's IT," Pinkie walked toward him with her Excalibur drawn, "YOU LIE, YOU DIE!" "WOAH WOAH!" Ci backed up slowly, "That wasn't a lie, i'm just testing you!" Pinkie didn't buy it, she raised her sword, "STOP!" every one looked back to see Celestia standing with the others ponies and Luna. "What?" Asked Pinkie. "He tells the truth," Celestia said. "How would you know?" Marcus asked. "Because I am after all 1,240 years old," Celestia said, "I grew up knowing him. "You what?" Marcus asked flatly. "I did," Celestia said, "He was the genius that made Eclipse unbeatable." "Eclipse?" Luna asked curiously. "You were too young, you wouldn't remember," Celestia said sadly. "But you know him, what happened?" Marcus interrupted. "Well he kinda lost his sanity after the Chaos siege," Celestia stated. "Hey i'm right here you know," Ci suddenly called. "Shut up," Pinkie said. "So what happened to him?" Marcus asked "He left, don't know where to, but he left," Celestia turned to Ci, "Where did you go?" "Out to the Frosty south, best hot cocoa I ever had," Ci laughed. "Um what?" Marcus asked. "Hot cocoa? Was there a koala there? He is the funniest!" Pinkie bounced. "Koala? Yeah he told me the one about ASDF," Ci and Pinkie began to laugh. "Is every friend I knew insane?" Marcus sighed. "Not sure, I think that gun salesman is still sane, Dray I think," Ci had to think about that. "Really?" Pinkie pulled a one eighty, "HA! take that Vinnoe!" "Who?" Marcus asked. "Just some guy who commented on the story," Pinkie bubbled. "Whatever, I give up," Marcus began to walk away, he then stopped and ran back up to Ci, "WAIT! Did Plantera follow you!!!??" "Oh that? yeah, but I left it in the dust a long way back," Ci laughed. "How long?" "How long what?" Ci looked puzzled. "HOW LONG UNTIL WE GET DESTROYED BY PLANTERA!!" Marcus boomed, right in Ci's face. "Easy there, I left it way back, so maybe a week," Ci backed up. "Calm down Markie," Pinkie put her hand on his shoulder and squeezed slightly. "Yeah fine," Marcus backed away and looked at Pinkie, "Hey that's a new one." "What?" Pinkie asked. "The nickname." "Oh that," Pinkie blushed slightly, "Just thought you might like it." "Its nice," Marcus was again deep in thought about Pinkie, and the rest of the discussion went well. "Guess I got to get rid of that cute pink distraction." =================================================== Twilight was in her library with her friends, they were worried about Canterlot, they had heard a couple of explosions go off. Of course the first thing Rainbowdash did was jump to the absolute worst conclusion, but Twilight eventually reasoned with her that it was just a new spell test, Applejack saw right through that, she herself didn't believe that. Twilight went up to her room, she was too stressed, then she saw a somepony pass down a street, no usually what would concern her except, this pony was a Terrarian, or so she presumed. She rushed downstairs past her friends and said only one thing, "TERRARIAN!" Everypony else exchanged looks before they began to run after her. The person walking down the street in Canterlot's direction found himself encased in a pinkish force field, he turned and took one look at Twilight, she looked horrible, "Ok don't panic, I just want some answers." Before she could even think of one she felt him pull her force field forward as he continued to walk as if nothing was happening, Twilight was being pulled along with him, "Sir please stop." The other mares took the opportunity to attack as well, Applejack lassoed him, Rarity put up a force field around him too, Pinkie did whatever she did, and Rainbowdash Sonic Rainboomed, right into his chest. But he kept walking, as if none of it even bothered him, then from out of no where, Fluttershy attempted to stare him down, which proved ineffective. Twilight and Rarity fainted from exhaustion, Applejack lost her hold on the rope, Pinkie was still Pinkie, Rainbow knocked herself out with the attack, and Fluttershy was curled up off to the side, whimpering. But the person took no notice, he just kept walking, toward the large white castle, what he wanted was sitting in that castle, a cute something too. Applejack was the only one who then realized who it was, "Art's?" The man turned and waved back, then he phased into thin air. ===================================================== Luna was in her bedroom, she was playing with her new hands, she loved it, she tried dancing, tuba (don't ask), and video games, which until now took a lot of skill with her magic to master, but now she could do it with ease. She ducked behind her beanbag as she heard a loud fizzing noise, she peaked out to see a figure like a Terrarian standing in the middle of her room, confused. "What is it you want, I will kill you for trespassing!" He turned toward her direction, "Lulu? Is that you?" "Artist?! What happened to you?" Luna left the safety of the beanbag. "Whao! What happened?" Artist asked looking at her, he then booped her cute little nose, "I guess the cuteness has been doubled." "I turned into a Terrarian, and I guess you did too?" Luna scrunched her nose in thought, how cute. "No, i could always do this," Artist said. "What? How? Why have you not before?" Luna stared at him. "That is for another sequel, but for now I wanted to ask," He paused a moment, "Care for a couple of rounds of Smash Bro.s?" "Your on!" Luna tossed him a controller. After a couple of rounds they switched games, and then again, until they had played every game they had at least once, then they decided to fight for real, then wrestle. We all know what wrestling leads to, Luna was attempting to pin Art down, they were really close, and she knew the worst is that he would refuse, she moved in closer and- nope, the door opened and Marcus walked in, staring at the two. "Dafuq?"
Where he go?Jack the guide was walking through barren mountains, not a single plant in sight, but he kept moving, looking for something evil truly worth his time. Yet he doubted that this world could possibly produce something vile, it was too happy and kind. Walking through a pass between the mountains he saw an old half broken sign, 'Beware the Badlands, home of the cha-', how odd, but he didn't care. "Whats this? Another creature to add to the evil of the badlands?" A voice ask, almost making Jack stumble. "No, just a man looking for true evil," Jack replied. "True evil? then you have come to the right place," A dark creature emerged from the shadow, it was like a pony, but it looked more like a bug, with holes in it's legs and horn. "Nice look bug, does your rear light up too?" Jack snorted. "Silence fool! now come with us quietly or you will regret setting hoof in the Tegman Empire!" Suddenly five more emerged around Jack. "It is to be a real fight then? good!" Jack started hacking and slashing them apart before they could even comprehend the reference. "Pfft! True evil here? not likely," Jack sheathed his Terrablade and continued to walk. Jack made it through the pass where he left the poor creatures that attempted to attack him, he then saw an impressive towering kingdom, many creatures flying around it, and nearly half of the greenish structure, was a vile, dark purple. Jack yelled in joy, he finally found it, and now that Terrarian and company would pay. ================================================= Queen Chrysalis was arguing with the Changeling nobles about the proper course of action concerning 'The Poison', and it was not going well. "You can not be suggesting what I think you are." "I am certain you can understand," Segment said, one of the more reasonable nobles. "I must agree, it is the most reasonable action," Fractare agreed. "Very well, but we would be without a home," Queen Chrysalis said, she feared for her childen's safety. "But if we stay we may become poisoned," Segment spoke, " And every creature that has been becomes violent." "Let us evacuate immediately!" Sting said, he was always the one to panic first. "No, keep calm," Chrysalis calmed the nobles, " Let us leave in an orderly fashion, guards, notify all that we will be leaving." "Yes my queen," the two guards by the door exited and closed the doors behind them. Chrysalis had turned her attention back to the room of nobles, they were talking in quiet side conversations, before she could address them about the meeting there were two loud screams. All heads jerked towards the doorway, a small purple streak slowly entered the room and crawled up the wall, then the door burst open, inside were two purplish drooling changelings, set on feeding their primal hunger. "Run!" Somelin yelled. Everylin all ran for the windows or the other door, not many made it with the two corrupt changelings inside. Without a second thought Chrysalis began to direct her children safely away, before she exited she turned back, the two were ripping a noble apart, and he was still breathing, she saw the face of Segment one last time. =============================================== Jack strolled on into the kingdom,every soul he saw was corrupted, or in the process of being corrupted, yet his will was strong enough to resist it, even control it. He was humming a merry tune as he walked toward what he presumed was the royal tower, it was only half corrupt. He noticed a large group of corrupt creatures beginning to collect as he walked closer to the tower, all of which were drooling and eyeing him hungrily. Jack stopped a few yards from the tower entrance, he was surrounded by corrupt bugs, they all then bowed to him, and spoke in one voice. "WE AWAIT THY DECREE OH MASTER OF THE CORRUPTION." ============================================================= Chrysalis had made it out of her once loyal city, only Pupa, Spric, and a few guards had made it, they all began to make their way out of the Badlands, toward Equestria. Chrysalis turned and looked behind her, the Kingdom she once knew, gone, children, dead, all hope of rebuilding, lost. As she turned back to look ahead she notice a small green dot, she thought she saw it grow for a second, then came a deafening roar, all from the direction of that dot, it too was headed for Equestria. =============================================================== Marcus was standing outside the door of the throne room, Luna was arguing with her sister, all concerning this new person, The Artist, who looked rather familiar. He left things to be solved among those two, the thing worth being interested in was the fact that things worked different here, that's for sure, not only were they even more wicked, but they were faster stronger and scarier too, no that he was scared. But what made them so powerful, why were they all working together, they hated each other before, the only ones that did work together were the haunted Mech bosses. Through all this thinking he noticed his messages, they were showing that the nurse and the gun salesman had moved in, how did he miss that? Oh yeah, the whole walking into the wrong room, were the love birds were going at it, bad turn he thought. "Sup?" A voice asked from behind him. "Hey pinks," Marcus greeted. "Whats the matter?" Pinkie could hear his distress. "Just the situation we are now stuck in," Marcus knew she knew. "Yeah, kinda sucks," Pinkie said, "But hey at least it can't get worse!" Plantera has awoken. "Au contraire," Marcus stated.
MeanwhileFirst thing she noticed, it was warm, next thing she noticed, it was dark, last thing she noticed, she was chained up. Then she heard, "We cannot seem to get it's armor off, whatever it was made for, it will not come off," the first voice said. "Then pry it off," the second voice commanded. "But sir, what if it is part of the creature, that may harm it," the first voice pointed out. "True," the second voice said, "Wait, it has awoken." "Oh joy, now I can get answers," the first voice said. "Don't give it too much info while it is awake," the second voice warned The door, as she just noticed split in half and opened, one goat like creature walked through while the other walked away. The door closed behind the creature, " Hello, I am Minos, who are you?" The creature sure was tall, and muscular. "No? Well then," The creature sure did look ugly, she tried to pull free, no luck, "Don't try, not even Discord could break those," Disco what? she hoped it wasn't a disease. "Anyway, you are in a place called Tartarus, you crashed through the ceiling of this mini world and have caused quite a riot," he stopped and took a small breath, "The usual punishment is vaporization, but you are, unique." "So, that means that I get the pleasure of finding out what you are, and what you are made of," he stopped and pulled out a small knife, "This will only hurt for the first hour." Running Nope.avi She then put a little force into pulling out the metal brace on her arm, breaking it like it was made of paper, she then grabbed Minos by the throat. Through clenched teeth she hissed right into his face, "Point to the exit and you may live." Minos pointed toward what she thought was a hole in the wall, a distance away, she then dropped him and pulled the rest of the restraints off. She then huffed and began to walk down a long dark corridor, doors were lining the wall on each side, some of them held the sound of muffled screaming, others had laughter. She hadn't made it three feet from her end room when an alarm went off, she turned and saw Minos, pressing a button and smirking at her, many of the rooms around her began to open, more creatures walked out and surrounded her. "That creature is new, we do not even know what to call it, I want it back alive," Minos ordered from the room, She really hated that dude. All the creatures pounced on her and attempted to restrain her arms and legs, not happening, as she pushed some into the wall, or knocked them over she felt an odd thing clamp around her neck, she then felt a zap as she held a creature down. She began to feel light headed, not today, she grabbed the collar and ripped it off, she then crushed it and jabbed a creature in the face with it. Before any others could lay a hand on their new experiment it pulled out a glowing sword and began to cut a path towards the door, many Minotaur fell over, missing something, from arm to legs, to missing their heads. She rushed through the hallway and was coming up on the door, she lifted her sword to cut it open....and...... ============================================================ Marcus, Pinkie, Luna, and Lyra were all spread around Plantera and attacking with all their might, it had some effect, but not doing much otherwise. Plantera had it's vines clamped to the towers and buildings surrounding the battle ground, it growled and shot more stingers out at Pinkie, easily dodged. "We need some kind of plan!" Marcus yelled over the shooting him and Pinkie were doing. "Like what?!" Pinkie yelled back. "We need to find some way to crush Plantera!" The monster turned to Marcus at the mention of it's name, "Oops." Marcus jumped up and began to run away as Plantera chased him. Pinkie and Lyra both ran right up after it while still assaulting it, Luna however hung back and began to devise a plan, this creature was a major threat if not dealt with swiftly, but how? Her gaze wandered the ruined crossway they began the battle in, her attention shifted to the tall tower near the outer wall, it was missing most of it's support, perfect. Back with Marcus things were suckish, he was being chased by a killer plant, he was running low on health potions, and he ran out of bullets, so life was just wonderful. But Pinkie and Lyra were hammering away at it's health, he turned and examined it, nearly half health, not good. He jumped up and flew over Plantera, Marcus then turned, flew up and ran the other way, Pinkie and Lyra began to run, they were all headed toward the battle ground again. As soon as the three others ran out of the center Luna yelled, "NOW!!!" From behind the tower a single person started to push and lift the tower over the center, right as Plantera crossed into it, and SMASH! Plantera was hit by the tower and was plunged through the floor of the kingdom, all of it's vines pulling out bricks and tiles as it fell, roaring in agony. Marcus checked his messages for any sign of victory, nothing, then he heard a roar from below, vines began to shoot up and hook onto the buildings, up came a pissed plant, it looked like a flower with carnivorous vines flying everywhere, phase two. =========================================== She woke up again, this time with restraints covering most of her body, she pulled, nothing happened, she pulled harder, again nothing, she attempted to call her sword, nothing happened, she then knew what she was held in, Chlrophyte. "Don't bother trying to escape," A disembodied voice advised, " I made sure you were properly held, after all, what other material could hold the great Terrarian Triforce?" They knew her title, but how? she decided not to answer, "Come now, not even a threat?" The voice said, starting to sound familiar, "I thought I knew you better than that." Ok WHO was this? "Don't stew too much dear," A darkened shadow dropped from the ceiling and decloaked, "As long as I'm here, you'll be staying here, safe." That explains it, another Terrarian, and a Merc at that, Shirno Yavi', or 'Silent', he was an Assassin for hire back home, guess he still is. Him and her had somewhat of a close past, and not one that was too pleasant either, they were old enemies, and close siblings. "So how much are they paying you?" She asked, "Fifty gold?" "Thirty Platinum at least," He somewhat boasted, "Second best paycheck so far." "All that to keep me here?" She feigned shock, "I'm Flattered!" The door opened and Minos entered, he took a glance at Silent and turned back to his project, she was staring at him and keeping quiet. "You were quite the trouble earlier," Minos had a smug ring to his tone, "But that changes not what we have planned for you, prepare yourself." Shirno turned to leave, "No no, you will not be leaving i'm afraid," Minos said, "You see, we heard what you had said to her, you had us fooled, thinking you were a Khajiit mercenary, but now we know what you really are, Terrarian." "Let me guess, you want to strap me to a table and rip me apart like her," He pointed to her. "Yes, and you will not be getting that last paycheck we promised," Minos laughed a little, bad move. "Ah I see," Shirno calmly reponded, too calm, "But there is a problem." "And what would that be?" Minos snorted. "You assume I will just lie down and die," Shirno smashed a control panel near him and the restraints holding her began to release, time to go. She pulled free as the restraints lifted, she then pulled out and old Excalibur sword she didn't need and pinned Minos to the wall with it, right through the throat. "Thanks," she said. "Yeah yeah later," He replied, "Now come on Leana kir!" They ran and fought their way to the exit, they were going to see the light again, and they would finally be free.
Best left unkownOk, to recap. The plant was pissed. Marcus has no ammo. Luna's initial plan partially failed. Lyra ran off somewhere. Yeah, Marcus was not having a good day, and now a flower was out for blood, he saw Luna freak out for a moment before rushing forward to help. Marcus stood at front, smashing the small carnivorous plants and occasionally hitting Plantera, all of it did very little, except the occasional pop as the smaller plants were destroyed. "Wonder where Lyra went," Marcus muttered as he continued to smash away at Plantera. "Worry not! I have come to assist you!" Luna yelled right in his ear. "Gee thanks," Marcus muttered again. They were fighting like crazy, doing more and more damage quicker, Plantera backed up slowly, very few vines were left and fewer were still fighting. Suddenly Plantera pulled all it's vines to one side and started to weave them together, before they knew it all the vines were one huge mace-like weapon, the two Terrarians backed up to avoid getting hit, none of them saw the second mace come from behind them, wham! Marcus landed on the outer wall of the city, crushing a portion of the wall as he collided with it, knocking the air out of him. Luna went flying through a couple buildings before coming to a stop, she was laying down, attempting to wait out the pain. "That went well," Marcus managed to squeak, he looked up and saw Plantera turn and start heading for him, before he could even attempt to stand up Lyra walked in and yelled at Plantera. "HEY FLOWER FREAK!!!" Lyra yelled, that got Plantera's attention, "TAKE THIS!!!" Lyra, with all the power she could summon, formed a giant hand, at least two times bigger than Plantera, and smashed Plantera, right into a fine goo. Marcus got up and walked over to the splat, not much was left, then an energy collected over the body, 'again?' Marcus thought. "You fought well Terrarian, but in vain," The energy Plantera said, "You will die knowing true pain." It then dissipated. Plantera has been defeated. ================================================================ Leana Kir had just escaped Tartarus and managed to bring someone with her, Shirno was panting beside her, he was not used to tanking it. "Never again!" He managed. "Oh come on, i'm not even winded!" Leana laughed. "Unlike you, *GASP*, I am meant for- stealth," He straightened up. "Yeah yeah, sneak and quick assassinations," She waved him off. "So where are we off to, *gasp*, now?" He asked. Leana frowned, she hadn't thought of that, "Um, I.... don't know." "All that and no plan?" Shirno cleared his throat. "Yup! But don't sweat it!" Leana shrugged it off. Shirno's face reddened and twisted into an angry glare, "You were supposed to have a plan!" She pulled back and gave him an uneasy look, his glare sent a shiver down her spine, "Um yeah?" His arms fell to his side, he hung his head, "Just get us to civilization." Leana perked back up, "Ok!" They began to trek out into what seemed a barren valley, no too much to do, and Leana was humming a joyful tune as they walked, this is why Shirno worked alone he reminded himself. He facepalmed several times as she switched tunes, he most likely had a red mark under his hood, but every time she began to hum another he couldn't help it. "Must you?" Shirno hissed. "Yup!" She said without hesitation. "It's like listening to a music box," He muttered, " Only without an off button," he said slightly louder. "Thank you for the intermission," Her voice dripping with venom, enough to make him stop dead in his tracks, he gave a nervous smile, "Now back to the regular program!" She said, all happy again. "Gheesh," He mumbled, making sure she couldn't hear. "Hey," Leana said "Ok sorry," He quickly stated. "Hey," She said again "And I don't mind you humming," He then added. "HEY!" She yelled, making him notice he was a full foot ahead of her. "Yeah?" Shirno asked. "Does that look normal to you?" She pointed ahead of him, he turned his head to examine what she pointed to. Shirno stared at a towering kingdom, which had an odd greenish/purplish glow, as it was becoming even more corrupted, " Corruption," he spat. "Why can I never get a break?" Leana whined, memories of her first encounter rolling in. "Better get breakin fast, cause here they come!" A wave of dark creatures came at them, roaring and drooling, fresh food. But before they could attempt to attack they stopped, they all turned up their heads and just stood there, then turned and ran back to the kingdom. "Um ok, then." "Oh whew!" She sighed. Plantera has been defeated. "What." Shirno scanned it again. "How?" she mumbled. "Apparently we are not the only ones here," Shirno wondered who it could be. "Maybe it's Camo!" Leana chirped. "Maybe, but he never really liked fighting bosses," Shirno pointed out. "True, what about Serras?" Leana asked. "Don't ever bring her up!" He growled in her face. "Just stating possibilities," she responded, " and get that close to my face again, you will be losing both eyes." Shirno pulled back, he liked seeing, but never wanted to hear that name again, he sighed and turned to walk away from the corruption, " Let's go." "Ok!" She skipped to his side. Neither realized where they were headed, of the fact that they were being spied on, they only knew they were headed for civilization, and it is called Equestria.
Odd reunionMarcus sat there, watching the ponies run about, freaking out over a now dead plant, very funny, and interesting. Luna walked over and sat down next to him, she had a few bandages wrapped on her leg and arms, she then sighed, "Tia took away my video games." "Why would I care?" Marcus asked. "Cause I wanted to play a game with you," Luna hung her head, making him regret saying that. "Ok i'm sorry," Marcus said, "I'm just never had any time for gaming." Luna let out a squee, "Come with me, I have got to tell you about it!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the palace. Pinkie walked back into the battle field after getting a victory drink, she saw Luna pulling Marcus toward the palace, she fumed as they closed the door to the palace, this would not do, not at all. Drawing her Excalibur Pinkie slowly walked toward the palace, plotting Luna's demise, nothing would stop her revenge, not even cupcakes. Walking past a few guards who were investigating Plantera, or what was left, Pinkie entered the palace, then followed the laughing, she pasted an odd yet familiar statue, coming up a few flights of stairs, walking through the long hall (like in scary games). "And what abomination is this?!" Pinkie stopped dead in her tracks, she then turned and got a glimpse at what just insulted her, she found herself face to (ugly) face with a pony in a suit and combed blond hair, a unicorn. "Just who do think you are?!" Pinkie yelled, "Huh?! Explain Horn head!!" "My what a foul uneducated beast," the unicorn scoffed at her. "Watch it pal," Pinkie turned her rage to him, "You are one rude remark away from becoming a snob flavored cupcake." "My what a temper," the unicorn turned his head up a bit, "but what would I expect when something like you basks in the godliness that is Prince Blueblood?" Pinkie just stared an imaginary whole through Blueblood's head, "I'm just going to walk away," and she turned to walk away, but then heard from behind her. "Oh no you will not," Blueblood signaled his guard to hold her down, both being unicorns, which they did without hesitation, "I guess we will just have to beat the disobedience out of my new pet." Pinkie is processing this information..... Pinkie is translating through google......... Pinkie is re-evaluating message....... Pinkie has found the meaning of the sentence....... Pinkie is running Nope.avi......... Pinkie had pulled out her Excalibur, she then fought the force field with all her strength, making it possible for her next move. She swung and severed the horn off of one of the guards, making him fall over in pain, the last guard and Blueblood looked over at the injured guard in horror, then back at Pinkie as she broke free from the force field. "Now kids," Pinkie began, "It's that time, now we make some prick flavored cupcakes." ==================================================================== Shirno and Leana were just leaving the last of the badlands, instead of the endless desert, they saw an endless forest, and Leana's singing was endless. "Why in the name of Redigit did I have to get stuck with you?" Shirno managed to keep a cool head. "I dunno, why did you come with me?" Leana asked. "Whatever, where are we?" Shirno asked. "A forest?" Leana shrugged. "Right right," Shirno went back to thinking. They kept walking through the forest for what seemed like an eternity, neither talked or even looked at each other, they both just watched the forest for any movement. "Man, what an ugly forest, and that's coming from me," Shirno had learned to cope with any surrounding, but this one was just ugly, without reason too. "At least it's not as hot," Leana rolled her eyes. "Meh, I prefer the desert to jungle any day," He pulled out a shurukin and spun it a few times. "Well,*Le sigh*, why don't you take a break then?" She then started humming again, the forest became increasingly darker, until they couldn't see. "Okay, now I miss the ugly forest," He stopped along with Leana. "It's alright, I got a shine potion," Leana quickly drank one, when she could see she threw one to Shirno, who drank one. "Ah sweet light," Shirno went to make a three sixty so he could check his surroundings, upon doing a one eighty he came face to face with someone new, someone he doesn't like. "Hello!" The person said, making both the Terrarians jump back, both pulled out weapons, ready for a fight, "Calm down you wimps." "WIMPS!?" Leana hated being called that, but she took a good look at who had taunted her, then proceeded to put her weapon away and take a step back. "What are you doing here!" Shirno never let his weapon falter for a second. "Look, if you look for a fight with me you will never win," The person said, placing a hand on the knife and slowly lowering it, "And don't test me little bro." "Never call me that, you know I hate it," He sighed and put his weapon away, "Serras." "Clad you haven't changed," Serras said, she was the strongest of the Terra Gaurdians, the only one who rivaled her was Marcus, who was the smartest, and hated fighting other Guardians, she was the strongest who took on the harsh world, and became the first of the new Guardians. "What is it you want," Leana demanded. "To go with you!" Serras seemed a little too happy. "Why?" Shirno was keeping a whole lot of emotions from bursting. "So i can see Marcus again!" She seemed to have cartoon hearts floating around her, then looked back at them, "And I know the way out of this forest." "Oh, ok!" Leana forgot she was mad and motioned her to follow. "No!" Sirno yelled, both stopped and stared at him, he huffed and squinted at them, " You can't just let her tag along!" "My group, my decision," Leana turned and kept walking with Serras. "Ugh!" Shirno slouched a bit and followed behind. "Oh get over it," Serras said with as much kindness as she could allow without sounding like a murderer. ========================================================================= Marcus had been playing Gaia four, he was being utterly destroyed as Luna waited around every corner, right where he needed to go, and got all the weapons he needed, but it was fun. "Got the flag!" Luna said, escaping his base. "Not for long!" Marcus said. "Just you wait," she was almost at her base. "Nope!" he exclaimed, he had managed to snipe her before she got to base. "Hey!" she frowned, and waited to respawn. "Gotcha, sniper style," he had returned his flag and prepared to defend. "You're in for it now-" Luna and Marcus jumped when they heard a huge crack, they paused the game and rushed to the hallway, weapons ready. Both stopped when they reached the hall, in the hall there lay two mutilated guards, one still breathing, but the side of his face was cut open. They then noticed Pinkie, who stood there with her Excalibur in her right hand, and Blueblood in her left, dangling in the air, Pinkies' hair was flat and dark. "Pinkie?" Marcus called, Pinkie turned her head to him, she had an eerie smile one her face, blood around her mouth, but she did no action, made not move, just stared. "Ooh, more cupcake material," Pinkie dropped Blueblood and started to walk towards Marcus and Luna, the Lunar Terrarian turned and ran toward the throne room, Marcus just stood, with his Paladin's hammer drawn, he really didn't want to do this. "Pinkie, please, snap out of it, I don't want to hurt you," Marcus felt a pang of sadness, this was not the first time this had happened to someone he knew, he watched as she approached, she never took a misstep, never slowed her pace, and just kept approaching as she lifted her bloody Excalibur. "I never said I was Pinkie, no, i'm Pinkamena," She struck with deadly speed and power, only to be blocked by the Hammer, she pushed in close as she came close to his face, she held a seductive look as she came closer, while he held an expressionless gaze to hers, "I know you love Pinkie, why not love Pinkamena?" "Because, she gave me a reason to love her, you did not," Marcus wasted not time as he threw purification powder right into her face, making her cough and fall back, falling to the ground, soon her hair puffed up again, she was back. Pinkie got up slowly, holding her head, sh groaned as she got back up, looking at Marcus with sad eyes. "I- i..... i'm sorry, I didn't mean to give in," Pinkie felt tears fall as she turned to go, she lost control, why would her still care for her? Suddenly she felt him embrace her and say something, "It's alright Pinkie, I almost lost control the first time I came into contact with the Corruption, It's alright," He hugged her close and let her cry, he knew, he knew what it felt like to have the Corruption hit, saying and doing things that made you go insane. The source of this Corruption, Blueblood, had fled the scene, leaving the dead guards, and them, right as an army of guards marched in from both sides of the hallway, catching a glimpse of the dead guards, and a bloody pinkie. If things couldn't get worse, it did, as the voice of Celestia called out, "SEIZE THEM!!"
