Chapters Supercharged Equestrian Journey
Princess Twilight Sparkle was minding her own business when she got teleported in to the castle in Canterlot by her mentor Princess Celestia.
Celestia was pacing one of the castle room, and her sister, Princess Luna, was trying to calm her down.
"Princess! What's wrong?!" exclaimed Twilight. She had never seen her mentor look so alarmed.
"Alright then. Twilight, there are dimensional holes in our world." Celestia said gravely.
"How so?"
Twilight gasped. "Oh sweet Celestia... are you sure?"
The earth shook. It felt like an earthquake, although nopony would do such a thing. And the three alicorns in the room felt the magic humming in the air.
Celestia smiled. "I knew I could count on you. I will now teleport you out."
Twilight blinked, and then she stood on the outside of the Everfree. She took a deep breath. Time to welcome the new girl. She stepped into the forest.
Overhead, a storm started raging.
Supercharged Equestrian Journey
Have you ever taken a good look at your life and said "This is so boring. I want some excitement."? Well my name is Petal Flame, and I am writing this to tell you to go back to your wonderfully normal lives and forget you ever made a complaint about a "boring" life.
Some people look at happy endings in books and films and think "that is so boring". Others see the happy endings and wish they could live in them. The truth is, most humans would get bored of a book or film very quick if all it entailed was happiness. Because, my humble chum, the only way to get excitement is for something bad to happen.
Now, as I said before, my name is Petal Flame. I was born 16 years ago in a terrible storm. My mother died giving birth to me. I was born with a curse, though some call it a gift. I was born with the ability to do magic. Yet, that stormy night, no one knew anything was amiss. My dad cried with me in his arms about Mother's death, and that was that.
My powers began to manifest when I was two years of age, just a toddler. The first incident my dad recorded was when I made my teddy bear dance without touching it. Poor Dad, heavens bless him. He knew he couldn't tell anybody of my powers, because harm would come to me. Yet he just did not know how to deal with my magic outbursts. That's how he met his end. I was sent to live with my aunt on my mum's side, who taught me control. Together, with my forgiving cat, I grew. And so emerged, years later, a scarred 16 year old girl.
My aunt was wealthy; she owned a grand estate where she kept me and my powers hidden from the world.I was home schooled for the sake of my secret. I regularly went for walks with my cat on my shoulder, riding my horse, Midnight Shimmer.
One day I was on a ride across the mountains. This was unexplored territory for my little party; I wasn't allowed to stray far from the property. However, that particular day, I was feeling rebellious. We crossed the mountains, and appeared in a meadow. I led Midnight on, and we eventually got to a river. This was odd, because I had no idea we had a river crossing close to us. We looked across the first time, and it looked like more forest. However, I blinked for a second and it appeared like I was staring at a reflection. My long, strange was messy with the breeze. (I guess this is the point I should mention that my hair is crazy. The underside is bleach blond and straight. The top is curly and red. Yet another reason I wasn't allowed out in public.) My weird grey eyes were narrowed in confusion. My face was paled but that was no change. My tabby cat Morpheus lazily lay on my shoulders, no a bother on him. Oddly, it felt.... alive. Looking back, I realized the mage in me could sense the magic, but I suppose that was the benefit of hindsight. I wish I had turned back... but curiosity killed the cat. Midnight was reluctant when I pushed her forward. I assumed that was because of the water, so I dismounted her and led her along with her reigns.
So, anyway, I walked into the reflective bit, because, hey, I'm curious. When I walked through, I was in a dark, dark forest. The very atmosphere of the place made me shudder. It chilled me to the bone. I had a feeling if I stayed here too long, I would go insane.
I screamed.
Midnight looked really spooked and swooped down next to me. I noticed she had her sleek black coat, but instead of her mane being the same colour, it was a deep, Midnight blue, with white specks dotted through it. Her eyes were wide, reminding me of a TV shower I used to watch, The Powerpuff Girls. "OK, what the fuck?" I asked.
It was Midnight Shimmer.
I nearly fainted. As it was, I couldn't stop yet another scream, which made Midnight scream. We stopped screaming at the same time. Also at the same time, said two different sentences;
We both turned to look at the portal as I said that. Again, just in time. This time it was just in time to see a cat flying (without wings). I tried to catch Morphie. But instead, he caught fire. Needless to say, I nearly fainted and I did scream. But instead of turning into ashes, Morphie turned into an attractive looking gentleman.
"Um.." Morphie looked awkward. His lovely green cat eyes were wide, his face flushed. He was playing with his longish red hair. "Pet... I have a confession to make. Pet, I'm a... changeling. A shapeshifter like Scott from Teen Wolf, only I can change into anything. I'm a bit like Sam from True Blood. I'm sorry, Pet."
I blinked. And blinked again. "........ so, you're telling me, all my life you've been pretending to be my cat, when in reality you're a liar."
I waltzed over to where he was standing and slapped him across the face.
When my skin made contact with his, I was engulfed with a load of visions.
Morpheus wandering into my Aunt's mansion on the day he became mine.
And many more visions like that. Also, visions not just about Morpheus. Visions about my Aunt putting something in my mind to stop me remembering all the incidents I saw with Morphie. Visions of my Aunt putting other things in my mind to block some of my power coming out. Many visions of Morphie trying to stop my aunt doing all of that...
When the visions stopped, I noticed a storm over us. A storm most likely made by me.
It was all too much for me. This time, I fainted.
Supercharged Equestrian Journey
When I came to, we were still in the dark forest next to the portal. The storm was gone. I was lying on the forest floor. I could hear Morpheus- or whatever his name was- and Midnight arguing somewhere near me.
I sat up in shock. "What do you mean the portal isn't working?!"
Wearily, I stood up. I should've felt dizzy; using magic to make the storm would usually drain me. But I felt great. Heck, I even felt energized. I chalked that down to adrenaline.
I went over to where they were sitting on a log and sat. "Fine, no portal. How are we supposed to get home?"
I put my head in my hands. I was finding it hard to breathe. "How... did this... happen.." I panted. "Oh my... Aunt will... be.. so worried..." I stood up and started pacing.
Midnight stood and walked over to us. She nuzzled me, like she was looking for treats off me. "Flame, Morpheus, we don't have time to argue. We can talk about this later. I hear noise of someone approaching." I realized Midnight was trying to comfort me. And that she was right.
"We need to get a story straight if someone is coming..." Morpheus sounded off. I looked over and saw he looked hurt at our exchange. Did he expect I'd jump into his arms, all, thanks for the truth even though it's YEARS too late, Morphie? Chance would be a fine thing.
I bit my lip back on some questions, as I remembered the flashbacks of my Aunt wiping my mind and fencing a lot of my power off.
"Company will be here soon.." Midnight warned.
Enter purple pony. The pony had a light purple coat, and a dark purple mane and tail with a pink streak through it. I saw she had two... what looked like tattoos on her flank. It was of a big star with smaller stars on it. It was the same on either side. Her eyes were also cartoonish, and purple. She also had wings. And a horn. On her head.
"Twilight Sparkle, do you happen to know what we're doing in your world?" Asked Theo.
"Well.. we were on a hike... and we crossed a river... and ended up here. We couldn't get back." I explained.
I caught up to her. "So... ponies can fly?" I asked, eyeing her wings.
"So some ponies have magic?" Asked Midnight.
The rest of the walk continued in silence. Until we were nearly there.
Her horn lit up. I didn't feel anything, but no one said anything to us or looked shocked in the town. It must have worked.
We reached the library, which was in a tree. Twilight told us to go look around, she was going to find her friends and "Spike", whoever that was. I found a bedroom, with a bed in it. I lay down on the bed just for a minute.... but I was so mentally exhausted, I fell asleep.
