The Math Test Of Fate

5/28/14 2:42pm

Adan was having a bad day as was normal for him. He had just failed his math test. It wasn’t his fault that he had to train to learn how to control and use his magical powers instead of studying.

Adan had magical fire powers and could fly with the wings on his back. Not making things burst into flames when he got angry was much more valuable. Adan had to make up his test the next day, which he hated. Adan burns the original test and tosses away the ashes.

5/29/14 1:42pm

Adan was about to take his math test. Adan pushes a strand of his jet red hair (his hair is beautiful) out of his face. Adan takes one look at his test.

what is the square root of 672.3?

A) Benzene

B) 6

C) None of the above

D) all of the above

E) アダン バロゼム = ばか

Adsn burns the test, hits his teacher on the head with a chair and runs out of the school. He is about to fly to the gigantic flying sky cartel that serves as a sanctuary for him and his friends. He sees this weird shimmering effect on the air near the school which turns out to be a potral!!!!!q! A strange boy named Nathan (hes the same age as adan and is just as handsome) jumps out and puts a strange necklece.

"Upload complete" its aus. Adan feels memories floding into his mind. Memories of an alternate timeline, one where humans and small, colorful horses live in a relative state of piece, one that is only held together by a secretive government led by a human prince and a pony Princess. Adan knew that the Princess' title was always capitalized whereas the prince's was not. The prince was just a figurehead to represent equality, although the Princess did legitimately care about him. The memories had belonged to the prince, who was now dead. Nathan had been his best friend. Nathan had used illegal magic and powerful technology to travel to this timeline in an attempt to revive his dead friend by using his counterpart as a vessel.

Adan looked around. Now, these familiar settings were foreign, yet he still remembered them from his original memories. Both Adans were mad at Natgan. Dead things were supposed to stay dead! Adan picked up Nathan and flew into the sky castle. Maybe his superpowered friends could undo this or something.

Inside the castle, Prince Adan's memories started to resurface.

He saw peopel that looked very much like his human friends. His human friends were the children of various important nobles and the human royal guard. Yet, at the same time, these were clearly not the same people.

First, there were Max6 and Ally, his younger siblings. Physically, they looked mostly the same, minus the wings. However, due to the memories that originally belonged to this body, he knew that their personalities were very different. His Ally and Maxy were clever and witty, whereas these two seemed to be serious as well as kind of optimistic idiots. Ally had her usual silver blue hair and Maxy had his useual briwn hair. Maxy had the power to channel light and Ally could turn invisible, things they couldn't do back in Prince adan's reality. And they also had wings.

Then there was Dan. The metal-plated cyborg Prince Adan remembered was instead a simple, (yet winged and somehow invulnerable) human. His trickster presonality was still intact. His jade blue hair was also unaffected.

After Dan was the honorable Maya. Both solid neon black haired incarnations somehow always brought that adjective to mind. This version was winged as well, and had control of various forms of magical sight.

And then there was Angie. Adan's other sister, she was slightly younger than him, and had never been born in his timeline. She had lightnong blue hair and could summon lightninh. She also had wings. She was as smart as Pallas Athene, the goddess of bright shining eyes who acted as patron to the hero Odysseus and his son, Telemachus. Odysseus, the hero who had tricked the cyclops and blinded him and avoided the wrath of Poseidon that came with it, safely returning home.

Finally, there was Nathan. To each Adan, he meant something different. To Prince Adan, he was a best friend, to regular Adan, he was a mirror image of a ghost from a dark past… . Natgan's blond hair was shiny, just as both adans remembered. He was holding something, but adan couldn't see what.

Adan successfully (for now) represses the Prince's memories.

"Does everyone in this timeline have wings" Nathan asks.

"No, only my friends and familiy and this weird girl who's been following us around lately" Adan (the normal one) said.

"Ok. So, time for me to take you back.' Nathan presses a button on his device, but not before Angie hears him and sends a bolt of righteous ligthnign at him. It hits them, and unknowingly, instead of teleporting to Nathan's time, they teleport to this timeline's version of Equestria, which is foreign to both of them. Nathan accidentally drops his teleportation device onto the castle floor during this time and it is damaged. Adans friends grab their weapons and use the device on themselves. Half (Dan, Maxy, and Angie) are teleported to Equestria, and the others are sent to Nathan's dimension.

Adan and nathan wake up in the darkness of the Everfree forest. They walk a little along a dirt path they find, but are distracted by a rustling noise. When they look at it to investigate, a wooden wolf pops out of the bushes! Adan burns it with his fire and flies up into the air with Nathan.

Adan can see a small town from the air,so he flied to it.

The first thing adan notices when in the town is the distinct lack of people. The entire town seemed to only be populated by sentient, talking ponies. They were similar, yet different to the ponies Prince Adan knew. In fact, the whole town was similar to one the prince had known, except less modern due to the lack of humans. Adan and Nathan glance at each other, and nonverbally agree to split up and investigate.

The Math Test Of Fate [Revised]

Adan was having a bad day as was normal for him. He had just failed his math test. It wasn't his fault that he had to train to learn how to control and use his magical powers instead of studying.

5/29 1:42pm

Adan was about to take his math test. Adan pushes a strand of his dark red out of his face. Adan takes one look at his test.

What is the square root of 672.3?

A) ≈26

B) 6

C) all of the above

D) None of the above

Adan, this isn’t that hard. I know you can do it.

Adan waits until his teacher leaves the room to go to the bathroom, and crumples his test into a ball and tosses it into the classroom’s recycling bin. He then opens a window and glides down to the ground.   Adan's math teacher was the only one that hadn't given up on him yet. He didn't care too much about the fact that he was skipping class, after all, the worst they could do was expel him. He felt kind of bad for his math teacher. He knew that his teacher would worry about him, he was too nice and caring for his own good.

He is about to fly to the gigantic, levitating castle-like building that serves as a sanctuary for him and his friends. Adan had found this building one day, the same day he had gotten his powers. It was made by someone, someone who had taken a great interest in him and his friends for no known reason. This someone wanted to train them to accomplish some task, but Adan didn't know what and always was slightly wary of the building, especially when items mysteriously appeared in it. Adan then sees this weird shimmering effect on the air near the school which turns out to be a portal! A strange boy named Nathan jumps out and puts a strange necklace onto Adan.

"Upload complete," it says. Adan feels memories flooding into his mind. Memories of an alternate timeline, one where humans and small, colorful horses live in a relative state of piece, one that is only held together by a secretive government led by a human prince and a pony Princess. Adan knew that the Princess' title was always capitalized whereas the prince's was not. The prince was just a figurehead to represent equality, although the Princess did legitimately care about him. The memories had belonged to the prince, who was now dead. Nathan had been his best friend. Nathan had used illegal magic and powerful technology to travel to this timeline in an attempt to revive his dead friend by using his counterpart as a vessel.

Adan looked around. Now, these familiar settings were foreign, yet he still remembered them from his original memories. Both of the Adans were mad at Nathan. Dead things are supposed to stay dead! Adan picked up Nathan and flew into the sky castle. Maybe his super powered friends could undo this or something.

Inside the castle, prince Adan's memories started to resurface.

He saw people that looked very much like his human friends. His human friends were the children of various important nobles and the human royal guard. Yet, at the same time, these were clearly not the same people.

First, there were Maxy and Ally, his younger siblings. Physically, they looked mostly the same, minus the wings. However, due to the memories that originally belonged to this body, he knew that their personalities were very different. His Ally and Maxy were sarcastic and witty, whereas these two seemed to be serious as well as kind of naïve. Ally had her usual blackish hair and Maxy had his usual brown hair. Maxy had the power to channel light and Ally could turn invisible, things they couldn't do back in prince Adan's reality. And they also had wings.

Then there was Dan. The metal-plated cyborg prince Adan remembered was instead a simple, (yet winged and somehow invulnerable) human. His trickster personality was still intact. His jade blue hair was also unaffected.

After Dan was the honorable Maya. Both solid black haired incarnations somehow always brought that adjective to mind. This version was winged as well, and had control of various forms of magical sight.

And then there was Angie. Adan's other sister, she was slightly younger than him, and had never been born in his timeline. She had bright blue dyed hair and could summon lightning. She also had wings. She was smarter than most people, but she didn't flaunt her smartness like some did.

Finally, there was Nathan. To each Adan, he meant something different. To prince Adan, he was a best friend, to regular Adan; he was a mirror image of a ghost from a time that Adan wasn't proud of…. Nathan’s blond hair was shiny, just as both Adans remembered. He was holding something, but Adan couldn't see what.

Adan successfully represses the prince's memories temporarily.

"Does everyone in this timeline have wings?" Nathan asks, expecting Adan to ignore him.

"No, only my friends and family and this weird girl who's been following us around lately," Adan said.

"OK. So, time for me to take you back.” Nathan presses a button on his device, but not before Angie hears him and sends a bolt of righteous lightning at him. It hits them, and unknowingly, instead of teleporting to Nathan's time, they teleport to this timeline's version of Equestria, which is foreign to both of them. Nathan accidentally drops his teleportation device onto the castle floor during this time and it is damaged. Adan’s friends grab their weapons and use the device on themselves. Half (Dan, Maxy, and Angie) are teleported to Equestria, and the others are sent to Nathan's dimension. The device ends up with Angie, who puts it in her pocket.

Adan and Nathan wake up in the darkness of the Everfree forest. They walk a little along a dirt path they find, but are distracted by a rustling noise. When they look at it to investigate, a wooden wolf pops out of the bushes! Adan burns it with his fire and flies up into the air with Nathan.

Adan can see a small town from the air, so he flew over to it.

The first thing Adan notices when he enters the town is the distinct lack of people. The entire town seemed to only be populated by sentient, talking ponies. They were similar, yet different to the ponies that prince Adan knew. In fact, the whole town was similar to one the prince had known, except less modern, likely due to the lack of humans. Adan and Nathan glance at each other, and nonverbally agree to split up and investigate.

Entrance To Equestria

Adan saw that there were three distinct kinds of ponies. There were ones that looked almost like regular Earth ponies, as well as unicorns, and pegasi. Adan received stares wherever he went, and some of the younger ones ran away when he approached. They at least seemed to be lacking in hostilities, so Adan didn't mind. Adan was also being extra sure not to accidentally burn things with his powers, as then the ponies might stop tolerating him. Adan walked towards a large tree turned house; as he walked he became increasingly aware of a weird scent in the air, which felt ever so slightly thicker than the air of Earth. It was the scent and feel of raw magic; much more than was found on his Earth.

Adan entered the library and saw Nathan was in another room, having tea with a lavender unicorn. Adan walked past them and up a small staircase. He was curious to about this universe, but learning if he could get out took precedence over small talk.

Talking to her wouldn't get him out of here any quicker, plus he could probably count on Nathan to fill her in. Also, he didn't want to have to answer tons of questions about himself and his universe. When he got upstairs, he saw more books, a bed, and a smaller bed with a spiky purple lizard on it, and a desk in the corner. On or in her desk she might have had notes on the filing system in this library, so Adan heads over to the desk.

On that desk, she has a few photos. Adan sees that in them, there are a few recurring ponies. Two older unicorns, who are presumably her parents, a slightly older male unicorn, who is probably her big brother, a very tall unicorn pegasus, who has no identifiable relation, and a very pretty pink winged unicorn, who was probably her sister. Adan then sees five other ponies hanging out with the purple one a lot, so they were probably her friends. He also sees 3 young ponies who probably weren't related to the lavender one at all. He then looks at a piece of stationery on the desk, hoping that it would tell him who the unicorn was. There was a name in the header, "Twilight Sparkle".

Adan decides that the notes on the filing system were kept elsewhere and decides to try and figure it out himself. Adan turns and goes to walk over to the nearest bookshelf and grab some books when he trips over the lizard. He awakens.

"Twilight, haven't I-" He stops when he realizes that it wasn't Twilight who woke him up. "Who are you?!"

Adan freaks out and accidentally starts a fire under him, but the lizard is flame-proof. Adan's flames were much more potent than normal in equestria, so Adan nearly set the entire library on fire, but the fire was put out with Spike's help.

"Spike, what's burning?" Twilight walks up the stairs with Nathan behind her. She isn't very surprised to see Adan, as Nathan had already told her about him and it wasn't exactly her first time meeting a human.

Twilight and Nathan told Adan all about the lands of Equestria, and especially about its ruler, Princess Celestia, because Adan was interested in her, as she might have been the counterpart to prince Adan's Princess, which seemed likely.

And after that, when Adan asked about Twilight's wings, about how Twilight was a princess, and how she had become one, and how she had restored this library after it had been destroyed.

Adan and Nathan were going to spend the night at Twilight's house. The next day, she'd introduce them to her friends. I wish I could understand Adan's abilities. I have no idea how he channels magical energy. To find out , I'd need to do some rather invasive magical procedures, and I doubt he'd consent to some of them. Twilight thought this as she was looking for blankets for her guests.

4/30 7:15am

Maxy woke up in Dodge Junction. He had arrived there the previous day. After a quick breakfast, he heads on to his job. He was currently separating out cherries for a kind pony named Cherry Jubilee. She had been willing to let him and his friends sleep there for free, but Maxy had insisted that he and his friends would do something in return. So, cherry-sorting it was, for him anyway. Dan was harvesting cherries and Angie was doing something, although Maxy wasn't actually sure what. Maxy was vaguely aware that where he was from, this would be early in the year for cherries, but he chalks it up to either a different variety or magic, which was used to explain a lot.

He worked alone, although there was a unicorn running a treadmill nearby. He didn't talk much, as he was entirely focused on his job. His name was Wild Onion. He was appropriately light green, with a darker green mane and tail. He had a cutie mark shaped like, what else, an onion. Maxy wondered what it meant. He doubted that he'd ever learn.

Adan was still fast asleep and dreaming.

"Just leave it to me okay?" Someone behind him spoke, in a clear, melodic tone. He recognized the voice, but couldn't place it. He turns to see Nathan behind him, even though Nathan wasn't the one who spoke before.

"Adan, let's go, it's creepy in here." Nathan looks terrified of the surroundings, which have become some sort of dark, cramped alley, in what is clearly a bad part of the town. Adan sees someone down at the other end of the alley and runs towards that person. Adan hears Nathan scream and doesn't even look back. He reaches the person, who is female and much taller than him.

"Do I know you-" Adan is cut off by her response.

"No, and I hope you never do."

Adan woke up when Nathan pushed him.

"Get up, Adan! This will be your first time trying pony food! I know you'll like it!" The excited, cheerful tone of voice Nathan was using reminded Adan of his Nathan from his timeline. Sometimes, they acted similarly, but other times it seemed like their name was the only thing they shared.

Adan finds himself recalling his dream. That was actually the most normal dream he has had in a long time.
