Falling Stars
A Necessary Evil
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe all walked back to Ponyville as they digested what I explained to them about melding universes, although I left out something important about this meld.
"Why'd you do that. You could heal Luna's broken back when we fought that nine-tails creature?" Twilight asked this I kneew she probably would.
"That was because I was in my head. My magic could've done almost anything, but because the nine-tails is a part of me he could negate what I did. It was a necessary evil." I said finishing the explanation.
"Alright well tomorrows the big storm so we need our rest. Good bye girls." Twilight called out to the others.
"Where am I gonna sleep though?" I asked knowing I had no home to go back to.
"You are going to stay with me. In the guest bedroom of course!" She said avoiding any awkwardness afterwards. "Hold up you haven't met Spike yet have you?"
"I'd say no most ponies ignore or try to hurt me. There was one that shouted monster at me too. Oh but don't feel bad that happens all the time. Wait that doesn't help. Well it's enough to say I'm used to it." She looked down as I said this.
"How often has this happened?"
"Since I was a little child. It got worse after I was able to go to school." I answered her honestly.
"Why'd they do that didn't they think they'd hurt your feelings!" She started to yell a little saying this.
"I was different, a freak, a nerd, a geek, a bookworm, athletic they did it because they were insecure. When I got here it was because of my appearance. That's why I invented the spell to change forms." I said.
"Wait YOU invented that spell."
"Well yeah but it was to difficult for anypony other than me to cast."
"But Starswirl said he made it up!" Twilight announced this to the world.
"He stole a lot of my magical discoveries. I made sure he'd never do it again." The mention of me killing him made Twilight almost throw up. "We're here Twilight."
As she unlocked they doors someone called out to her."Twilight your back! Who're you?" A little dragon asked this.
"My name is Falling Star. What's yours little Dovah?"I asked the little dragon.
"My names spike and I'm a dragon not a Dovah." Spike had said this obviously not old enough to understand the language I spoke.
"Anyway where's the guest bed room I'm tired." I asked.
"But you slept for almost a month!" Twilight pointed this out.
"That was to restore my chaotic magic." I said.
"Upstairs third door on the left." Spike told me almost not understanding anything.
"Thanks Spike."
I went to the bedroom to find it was made rather simple. It had one bed with a blanket on the left and a desk in front of a window. 'Well great the bed is half my size.' I took the blanket off the bed opened the window and sat on a branch. I then covered myself and went fast asleep.
I woke up with a start the clouds had just been put into place as I saw the pegasai fly away just a second ago. "Falling where are you!" I heard Twilight's voice slightly worried.
"Sorry I'm Here!" I yelled back.
"Why are you sleeping in the branches of the tree?"
"The tree feels better. I can't sleep in that bed. It's too comfy."
"How's that possible?" Twilight asked me.
"Well I never got to sleep quietly in all may life 'cause I would've been killed."
"Why is it your life seems so miserable?" She didn't really phrase it as a question to be answered but I did anyway.
"Because it is." I jumped through the window as the rain had started to fall but before I shut the window I heard Applejack and Rarity out there. "Twilight you might want to call Applejack and Rarity inside. Maybe you could have a sleepover." I didn't want her to be able to follow me after this.
"Oh all right. Applejack Rarity!" I walked out the door as she yelled their names. "Where are you going?" She asked me.
"I need to walk around."
"In the rain?"
"Do think you could keep me here if you wanted to?" I asked her putting on my serious tone.
"Go right ahead." She said this disappointingly.
"Don't worry I'll be fine." I pulled my bag from my sharingan's dimension. I oppend the bag and pulled out an akatsuki cloak and put it on. I put the bag back into the dimension after pulling out a katana.
"Why do you need that?" She asked me Rarity and Applejack were there now too.
"In case somepony tries to mug me." I walked away but not before hearing that I wasn't gonna be attacked which I was.
I walked over to a small hill as fog over took where I was walking. A mirror as big as me was there. It was slightly strange as I knew what it would do. 'If I walk in I might not be seen for a while. Should I really do this? I did leave a note in case the time was too different. I have too anyway the world aint gonna fix itself.'
I walked through the mirror-portal into a world of fog. I was in a strange place. It was a...a laboratory. 'Shit I know this place. This means I'm in trouble.'
"NO YOU'RE NOT ME!" I heard that voice.
"Guys be careful. Wait someone else is in here besides us!" A red haired girl said this.
"You caught me, but we need to stop that first." I said they were pretty surprised at me being here but the shadow in front of us was more pressing of a matter.
"That thing is called..." I cut off the silver haired boy.
"A shadow. I know about this. Now call out your persona!" I yelled this they all looked at me as if I was insane.
"Dude how long have you followed us to know about that." Another boy with brown hair said this.
"How long did she." I said pointing to the blue haired girl.
"He's got a point you don't need to be a genius to figure out somethings but the name of persona. It just doesn't sit right he knows that." Another boy who looked like a biker said this.
"Alright stop asking questions and stop that thing!" I yelled to them.
The shadow had just sat there as if taunting me. I decided to take the bait. I jumped in the air to stick my katana into the shadow. I almost did as it flew backwards. "Woah your much better at this fighting thing than the others." The shadow said this.
Yeah it was right but when you had 1000 years out of practice it made you worse. The shadow shot a beam of energy at me. I dodged it in just the nick of time. "You guys I can't do this on my own!" They all nodded at my yelling and summoned their personas.
"I can't let you all do that." The shadow shot a beam at the brown haired dudes persona. It turned him old. It proceeded to shoot all the other guys personas except that bikers. He ran up caught the girl on the table and hid.
"I'm the only one left."
"Right you are." The shadow said back to me.
"Tch you all can't even stop this I can't believe I'm stuck being your shadow." My shadow walked out of the shadows. Heh that's ironic.
"Not another one!" The girl with black hair said this. I need to learn their names.
"Yadda yadda I know you're gonna accept me no matter what so get over here." He said. I walked over and shook my hand.
"WHAT!" The still young people of the party yelled.
A card of the persona appeared before me. "His persona's the fool. Wait thats the same as Yu's." The brown haired girl said.
"Amaterasu!" I crushed the card from when I first melded the universes. The wolf appeared behind me again.
"What's this you're not gonna stop me are you?" The shadow asked me.
"No I'm helping the others." I heard some one behind me yell out something as I said this.
"I got this." The silver haired boy put his hand on my shoulder and stepped in front of me. When he did this I felt my self pulled into a.....Limo?
"Ah a new guest arrives. One from a different dimension too! My name is Igor and this is my assistant Margaret." The man named Igor said.
"Only those who sign a contract may enter here oh but you haven't yet. Here's the contract." Margaret said and put a contract on the table.
I signed with my real name.
"Now we'll talk later but remember those who you made bonds with give you your strongest abilities." Igor said.
"Thanks." I was back in the lab.
I lifted my hand and so did the silver haired kid. We swiped our hands at the same time. A circle appeared and the amount of cards differed from mine to the other boys. I had three cards he had I think 5 I didn't pay attention. The cards all smashed together and made one well two counting his circle. Out of my cards came a pegasus. His was a fly.His persona slowed the shadow down mine just smashed it against the wall. I felt as if it took a bit of my health with it.
"They make an amazing team."
"Yeah I can't believe that kid can do the same things as Yu."
"Uh Guys that fly is charging up for a really powerful attack. We've Got To Get Out Of Here NOW."
I couldn't tell any of those who said any of that. I decided to run anyway. After we all got out the room was blown to hell. We walked in to see the shadow back to it's normal form.
"I'm sorry for what I've done to you all especially you or correct to say me. I accept you okay." The girl accepted her shadow and almost fell down. I wanted to do the same.
"Alright lets get out of here. I'm getting really tired." I said.
After we got out of what they called the TV world I had some questions to answer. "Alright who the hell are you and how the hell do you know about the shadows and personas!" The biker kid asked rather crudely.
"Well I have about half a mind to smack you upside the head. I have told you and you haven't listened or given your name!" I shouted back.
"Kanji you shouldn't be so mean he did help us out and we now have two new people for the group. Oh and my names Rise."
"Thanks for that." I said.
"Well I'm Chie."
"I'm Yukiko."
"I'm Yosuke."
"My name is Naoto Shirogane."
"I'm Teddie."
"I'm Kanji obviously."
"My name is Yu."
"I'm Christopher." It felt weird to say my name again.
"So what school are you going to?" Yosuke asked.
"Well I think I'm going to Yasogami, but I could be wrong." I said not really sure but knew if I was to fix this I need to go to that highschool.
"What do you mean?" Rise asked.
"Well my parents died and I'm supposed to transfer there but I don't know if they got my paperwork." As I said this I snapped my fingers knowing fully well that my chaotic magic always works when I go to a melded dimension.
"I'm sorry for your loss." Rise said this and they all looked down in pity I get pity a lot these days.
"It's okay I'm fine. It got me here and I'm still alive, but I have no place to stay is there a hotel here?" I said rather fine about this.
"You were moved here but you don't have a place to stay!" Yukiko said this loud and I thought she would never speak up.
"Well it was either here or to a place I couldn't even speak the language of." I said
"Why'd they make you move at all!" She was still shouting.
"I moved on my own. There's no way I could stay there on my own." God I'm good a spinning lies by now.
"I'll let you stay with me. I'm sure my uncle wouldn't mind if he knew you were a foreign exchange student." It was weird to hear that., but then again I'm in japan and an American.
"Thanks Yu."
"No problem."
"Alright we should head back to our homes people will be wondering where we all are soon." Rise said. I looked at a clock on the wall to see it was almost 6:00 PM.
"Alright see you guys later."
Yu and I started to walk to his house after the meeting.
"Can you see that room too?" Yu asked me.
"The limo you mean?"
"So I'm not insane." Yu said this slightly relieved.
"We're the only ones who know about that are we?"
"Yup." Yu responded to what I said.
"So why are you living with your uncle." I asked.
"My parents got a job overseas so I went to live with my uncle." Yu said.
"Didn't know the language?"
"Yes." Yu sighed after he said this. "Well here we are." He said as we walked close to a small building we saw a man get out of his car and about to enter when he noticed Yu.
"Well hey there Yu who's this?" His uncle asked.
"My name is Christopher Thelin nice to meet you." I shook his extended hand.
"I'm Dojima. So Yu why's he here?"
"Well he's a foreign exchange student and he has no place to stay."
"So you decided to talk to me and see if he could live with us for awhile. Well I have one question. Why are you moving to this little town?" He asked me.
"Well my parents died and I couldn't live in the house and still have money to eat so I moved here there was a way I could still go to school and make money to live." I said explaining in more detail.
"Alright I'll let you live here until you can get enough money to live on your own." Dojima said.
"I give you my most humble thanks."
"It's alright."
After he said this we walked in. I met Dojima's little girl named Nanako and was given the last guest room in the house. I layed down on the futon and tried to go to sleep. When I get back Twilight's gonna be so pissed.
