Chapter 1: Are you Kidding Me????

Kevin siting behind the newly installed counter in his hobby/game/comic shop and breath in the smell of new products and new furniture. He had done it, years of odd jobs and boring office work and he finally did it. He finally had his shop, and he was ready to open. All the stuff was set for tomorrow's opening. He did as much leg work as he could by handing out flyers to the announcements in the local newspaper. Tomorrow is going to be the best day of his life, that is if it wasn't for the fact three people just went though the store window and are now laying on the the remains of his shop window and gaming table.

"....God hates me," said Kevin to himself before he walked over to the three people. The first to get up was a rather elderly old European man in what looked like a ye old nightgown/magician robe. The second was a woman who looked somewhere between her twenties and thirties and in a unfaltering business suit. The third was not human, as he looked like what happens if you play jigsaw with animals on a serpentine dragon. As the three got up and groaning from the pain, Kevin stepped back and looked out of broken window to see a large mass of black energy and lightning staring right at him.

"Yup, God definitely hates me," said Kevin as he jumped out of the way and a streak of dark lighting caught the old man as he got into his feet and launching him into the shelf full of new source books.

"Oh come on! It took me weeks to get all of those books and they don't come cheap!"

"Lad," said the old man as his two companions rushed the dark mass," This be the least of your worries."

The old man then drew a staff out f his sleeve and fired a fireball at the mass but the mass seemed to just adsorb it before firing it back at the jigsawed creature.

"Merlin! Stop throwing Celestia damned Fireballs already! I almost got fired on that one!"

'What do you want me to do?! It just eats any of my other spells!"

"Shut up and keep fighting you Idiots! bef-Erg!" The woman took a lance of lightning in the chest and was thrown into a nearby truck leaving a large canyon where the hod should be.

"Holy crap! Did that just? Was that ma- what the hell is going on?!"

"DUCK!"

Kevin ducked behind his counter to see a lance of dark lighting missing him by just a hair, hitting another shelf of merchandise. The jigsawed serpent grabbed the woman and teleported himself int the shop, in which the old man responded by casting a great big shield around the shop, leaving the fighters and the poor bystander trapped and the mass of dark energy pounding at the shield.

"Morgan, my dear are you ok?"

"I'm fine Discord I'm fine, it takes more than that to take me out of the equation. So what now?"

"Well, it is only a matter of time before it breaks though my shield. So I guess we are stuck here until it breaks though so lets think of a plan shall we?"

"If we needed a plan, Merlin, I would have gone to Zhuge Liang. But from the looks of it we have no choice here."

"Er," said Kevin," Forgive me for butting in but WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE AND WHY HAVE YOU DESTROYED MY SHOP?!"

"Me thinks the audience protest to much," the jigsaw serpent called Discord said as he cleaned his ears from the shouting," Really I wonder why your still hear and not gone to lala land yet."

"Indeed," replied the woman who now looked like she had aged three years since she entered the store," Most of the magic that is floating around would cause a mortal like yourself to go insane by now. Hey, staff up your butt, come and take a look at this mortal."

Kevin was backing off before hearing the old man retorted," I don't have a staff or any wooden instrument up my buttocks Morgana Ley Fey! I wish you would stop calling me that, furthermore don't you see I have a barrier to maintain?!"

"Whatever, now lets see what makes you think mortal." And with that Kevin started to jar and vibrate until all could see the atoms which comprised the mortal human. Kevin while trying to fight back from the pain this was causing him, couldn't help but awe at what is happening to him. So long as the woman eventually stopped.

'Interesting, hey Dissy take a look at this."

"How extraordinary, it must be just extremely dumb luck that we found this idiot at our present predicament. You my boy have enough ethereal ancestry, even though is very very thin, that might just save the world."

"Pain... so much pain..." was Kevin's only reply.

"Whoops, Morgan my dear while I would love to take him apart to see how he ticks right now, I do think we need him alive to help solve our and this universe current predicament."

Morgan smiled sheepishly as she stop her magic and allowed Kevin to breath and feel relief. Outside the pounding grew more and more intense, Merlin could barely hold the barrier before something outside started attacking the energy being. The being slashed with its famous Green Dragon at the being but did nothing except piss it off. Kevin recognized the new person as the famous (and dead) Guan Yu but how can that be?

More and more questions was forming in his head but was cut off when Discord grabbed him.

"Listen boy," he stressed," Right now your the only thing here which can stop that monster out there. Normally, we councils of immortals can't use you mortals without facing some sort of punishment. But in this case we right now don't have much of a choice."

"W-what are you talking about?"

"That thing out there was our previous Titan of Ether, lets just say this is what happens when a Titan goes nuts. We the council take orders from that thing. And its final order before it went nuts was to stop it. And you my boy are the only ting we can use on that thing."

"Are you kidding me?! What can I do to that thing?!"

"Its less what you can do and more how you are used kid." answered Morgan grimly," Well looks like not all of us will survive this though. I'm sure this kid would want to form his own council."

"I know my dear but what choice do we have? All I can say my boy, that don't think to bad for what we are about to do. And this WILL hurt."

"Wh-What are you going to do?"

"You'll see."

Merlin took down the barrier that stood between the being and the shop and Guan Yu stopped his rapid but futile assault on the creature. The three in the shop surrounded the being and used their respective magics to tear the creature revealing a great hole within. The being screamed in agony and futilely stuck around homing to break the triangle. Kevin couldn't help but cringed as he watch the being get pulled three separate ways. However, the next thing he knew he was being thrown right into the being.

Only thing he could see was blue and could feel was pain.

*****

Or so he though, as he stared deep into the universe. Seeing not only seeing his earth but also an infinite amount of universes that stretch all the way across the void. He could see into the void and see the horrors of which it contains. ~~He could see the author writing this as he views the cosmos. Er no he didn't. Yes He did. Shut up.~~ Then he looked towards his own earth, which was when the pain started. He saw the world when it was born, he saw how it grow and what paths were chosen by the previous Titans of Ether. He was forcefully given knowledge on magic and how the universe worked. When the pain died down, he saw the world still in its infancy and why the first Titan of Ether chose to protect rather than just leave this place be. That's when he woke up.

*****

"Oh my fucking head."

"Oh good, your awake" said Discord," I was worried that your brain went and popped."

"I think it did and reassembled itself. OW..... hey this isn't my shop."

"Oh of course not and I am not YOUR Discord. Welcome to Equestria my good man."

"What. I'm not on Earth anymore? What the fu-"

"Ah please don't swear, In this time period swearing can get you beheaded. Then again a lot of things can get you beheaded. Your right now in Ancient Equestria and its currently in a civil war."

"Let me give you to full run down here," said Discord as they moved though the snow. Kevin was wondering why the cold wasn't bothering him but then again it could be Discords doing."

"Empress Faust has died, from what however even I have no idea, and all of her nobles and lord are fighting among each other for control of Equestria. Her two daughters are now in the Crystal Empire being taken care of my an old friend of the Empress, this world's Titan of Ether, The Crystal King Sombra."

"Right.... so then why the fu- fudge am I here?"

"You don't get all the knowledge of the universe without interning a bit now do you?"

"...so I have to learn a bit under Sombra eh? For how long?"

"That is a question for him, now if you would excuse me I got a ton of chaos to do now. I hope your version of myself is now happy." and with that Discord popped and was gone."

"Whelp, only one thing to do, get my ass out of the cold (and I'm still not cold, what the hell) and into the .... very gaudy looking crystal place that looked like it was designed by idiots. I'm so screwed."

Author's Note

Well there you have it, The big jerk who has been screwed Terry is now the Titan of Ether, What you expected popcorns or somethings? Anyway, this is my attempt to write a proper universe as to put it in a way with my all time 'good' guy starting out as earth;s Titan of Ether. Next chapter will be the hard one since I will be writing Sombra and many guards (and as well as Tia (I'm assuming that Lulu is still to young to remember stuff and on the assumption if Tia is a little filly Lulu is roughly a few years younger than her and still a foal)) to expect a REALLY LONG chapter. I will be putting a few titbits every chapter on my creative process went I first started writing any of my stories here in the notes. Particular to my Equestria & the Heroes of Ether stories and its predecessor, New Life for an Old Golem.

So here is the first one:
The Character of Kevin and his 'evolved form" as the Titan of Ether is actually in a way reflective of my own personality (with mean this is a self insert but also mean I'm a rather big jerk if you give me the power to be one XD) and I got the whole Titan of Ether things from none other than Noah "Spoony One" Antwaler and his Ultima Retrospective videos particularly from his retrospective of Ultima 8: Pagan and Ultima 9.

Also see if you can find where some of Spoony entered the fic. If you do I'll give you a virtual cookie

Until Next time,
HENSHIN!

Chapter 2: Frozen Blood and Warm Picnics

A howling and chilling wind sweeps across the frozen wasteland as Kevin walked towards the bright lights of the Crystal Empire. However despite the killing chill, Kevin was barely effected. Sure he could feel the cold but it wasn't making him freeze to death. While pondering this Kevin did not see where he was stepping and tripped over something.

As Kevin groaned and got up from making love to the floor, he looked at what he tripped over. The offending object was a dead armored pegasus with the look of shock frozen on his face. He had stumbled onto what was a remains of a battlefield or at least that was what he thought, as he continued to walked though the icy graveyard, he could faintly hear the sound of clashing steel in the distance,

"Welp lets see how great these Titan of Ether stuff is, I don't want to become sashimi here, lets see.... fire?" said Kevin as he tried to summon fire in his hands, which resulted in nothing," Oh common, I need something useful here just in case you know, yesh if this was Shadowrun I would have pulled out a stun baton at the very least or maybe even a Ruger Thunderbolt.... why do my pockets feel heavy."

Kevin pulled out a the aforementioned Ruger Thunderbolt out from the space between spaces (or rather his pocket) as if it was nothing. The large cybered gun in his hand felt solid and heavy, though not unyielding as if it was made for his hand. Kevin broght it up to his face to get a closer look as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Seriously? I can't make fire but I can pull out something our a game? What next Link's Mirror she- I better stop that though right now just in case I do not want to log around a heavy GLASS shield like that though snow and this god damned blizzard. Well this gun will have to do, I wounder what my powers are in a sense."

Kevin continued to walk towards the Crystal Empire and unfortunately closer to the sounds of Battle which seemed to grow larger and larger as if a siege is going on right now and lo and behold it was. An fort which is the Crystal Empire's forward military base was being sieged by a mixture of forces, each sporting a diffident banner and fighting among themselves as well. Kevin slowed down his pace and creeped along the side of the battle hoping not to get spotted by any of the armies, a little to late as a unicorn officer spotted him and charged at him, yelling incomprehensibility. Kevin aimed at the charging unicorn and let off a shot from the Ruger Thunderbolt with its trademark thundering sound as the APDS round exited the barrel and though the head of the unicorn. Kevin shocked at what he had done didn't have time to completely comprehend what he had done when an earth pony wearing the uniform of the Crystal Empire grabbed him by the arm and started pulling him a side, the mare was yelling something at him but he couldn't hear what she was saying until he heard the cry of pain when an arrow pieced though her leg.

Snapping out of it, Kevin steeled his nerves and picked up the mare and continued walking, with arrows and magic bolts flying though the air and missing him. Some of the pegesus rangers could have sworn that the arrows were curving out of the way as it flew to the unknown creature. When a Unicorn dressed in the Crystal Empire armor and a medic's insignia can and releaved him of his charge Kevin turned to the warring tribes and clapped his hands together, suing the first though that came to his mind to stop the three different factions from breaking though this fort and to scare them away from this battle. Fortunately the first though as to how he would do it came from how the Full Metal Alchemist would deal with it. Slamming his hands into the the ground, the snow transformed into ice and created a wall in front of the fort, cutting into the many siege engines and towers. Then doing the same action again he created two more walls though the three warring tribes. The warring tribes back off and ran as they could not take the fort without their siege engines but also could not engage such an overpowered creature.

Pleased with his work, Kevin dusted his hands and promptly fainted.

*****

Kevin woke up in a place that didn't quite match with the frozen battlefield, for one it was warm and very very crystalline, in fact it was way to crystalline to be real, so Kevin got up from where he was laying which was a soft bed with heavy blankets for cold nights. Nearby he saw a wisp of pink hair disappear as the door closed. Curious, Kevin got off the bed and walked towards the ruby door. However before he could reach the door, it opened to reveal a noble looking unicorn.

"Greeting my dear fellow, I am King Sombra and welcome to the Crystal Empire!" he said with gusto," So how are you, I was told you had accomplished a rather amazing feat some time ago, is your affinity to ice by any chance? Ah forgive me, I've been told I an really ramble own a lot when I get going, so what is your name?"

"Er... I'm Kevin, I'm from a planet Earth an-"

"Yes yes I know all about that already, My Discord came by and informed me and the rest of my staff that you would be arriving, while reanimating my breakfast. Really why did he turn my buttered toast- ahem sorry was rambling again. Anyway, your a new Titan of Ether and granted a very powerful one due to the location of your world."

"What do you mean by a very powerful one? I though all Titan of Ether are powerful in their own right? and what does that have to do with my world?"

"Ah forgive me, maybe you can help me clarify though, this particular world has never had a visitor from your world or anything that passes though your world. When you ascended did you see, other worlds?"

"Yeah a lot, some of which was considered just fiction."

"INDEED! Fascinating isn't it? One of this days I really have to go there myself but building a Black Gate is the most- ahem, sorry when I am really excited I tend to go far of track. Anyway think the multiverse within the void is like er.. let's see what is a good anthology, AH yes, a train station."

"A train station?"

"Yes, now please don't interrupt, anyway your world is the central train station where many being just hope to and off on the way to many other places, so a lot of worlds connect to and from your world while the only place this connects to is your Earth and some place called Gallifrey which has been sealed off for some time. And don't get me started with the various diff rent versions of Equestria as well oh dear lord the amount of different Sombras' I have to communicate on a weekly basis..."

"Er is there multiple version of-"

"Oh no no no, your Earth is one of the few exception that doesn't have multiple versions of itself, since it is a HUB world after all, sure in theory there are many worlds that are actually called Earth bu- good damn rambling I really should get on with it."

Kevin sat down on the bed with the utmost amusement on his face, here he was sitting next to a mythical creature who was a great intellectual but let his mind and mouth carry him away like any normal intellectual back home, animal form be damned, and wondered if horses and other animals back home could talk, could a few be like him as well.

"Now I would assume your affinity is to ice correct?" asked Sombra in an attempt to get things back on track, meanwhile a maid brought in some tea and snacks, along with the cutest little peguses foal on her back. The foal was had a dark blue coat with a lighter blue main and was sleeping, however it awoke when she smelled the cookies the maid had just uncovered.

"Oh don't mind little Luna here, I'm her guardian for the time being."

"Er... right, well I can't say what my affinity is as so far what I have done doesn't make sense," said Kevin as the maid gave Luna a cookie and walked out of the room," First thing I did was to materialize a weapon from a game I like and the second thing I did was the power and style from fictional material... which I suspect isn't so much fiction now that I think about it, after all I SAW those worlds while I was-"

"AH so my theory is correct. Well since your world is a HUB world of all things, then perhaps you have the power to draw on the power of each of those worlds? Well then how about bring forth something from those worlds for your pre-use? I would suggest something or someone that can work as an assistant for both your stay here and as well as when you return back to your world?"

So far Kevin was letting Sombra say everything he needed to get out of the way but at this Kevin HAD to say something," So your asking me to simple abduct some poor sob just to me my assistant? Are you NUTS?!"

"Forgive me, I just only realize how insensitive that sounded, (*mumble* Maybe Queen Umbra was right, I really need to take a few lesson in tact) ANYWAY! Well lets try something simple, I would assume for the sake of simplicity you only take or create something that can be mass produced unless you really need it."

Kevin nodded as he focused on something from another world, although rather hungry, and summoned a chocolate frog from the Harry Potter series, unfortunatly without it's wrapping so it immediately jumped out of his hand and made its break for freedom out the balcony.

"That was.... interesting. So animate chocolate isn't from your world?"

"Yeah it isn't sorry I just got hungry I guess."

"If thats the case lets have some tea, and if you would like later you can join me and the rest of my staff for dinner."

"....that would be nice actually," answered Kevin after a pause but that idea was tossed out the window as the high pitch scream cut their conversation short.

**Meanwhile**

"Really Tia," said Soft Touch, a unicorn," You snuck into the guest quarters just to see what that thing was? Your Lucky that the guards didn't tell his Highness of your foolishness."

Soft Touch was one of the few young ladies within Sombra's court with her farther being one of the most well known and most xenophobic of all of Sombra's generals. Celestia rolled her eyes and fluutered her wings as Soft Touch continued to 'scold' her for being currious.

"But Softy," said Lemon Drop, an earth pony, another of the young ladies," He went and saved Amber's mother didn't he? I'm sure that deserves just a peek from Tia."

"Yeah and a peek it was my friend, for as luck would have it, by the time I got enough courage to take a peek, he woke up."

"Rotten shame there," said Siren Song, one of the younger peguses guards who often joined the three during her break," Personally I wouldn't say no to a role in the hay with something that can just chase all three of those bastards and all of their siege weapons to boot."

"SIREN SONG!" shouted Soft Touch," We are ladies and we would prefer if you didn't use such crude language!"

"She mean the royal we by the way," said Celestia with a giggle," She still has the dream of one day getting hitched to Uncle Sombra."

The two ladies and one guard teased and giggled at the expense of their friend by after awhile like it always was, Soft Touch was also teasing and joking with the rest... until a slightly melted chocolate frog decided to finally land on its soft landing spot. The mane of poor Soft Touch.

A millisecond latter, the strange creature Sombra was being a host to, landed next to her as if it was nothing.

"Is everyone ok? Whats going on?"

"GET IT OUT GET IT OUT GET IT OUT!"

"Hang on Softy," said Tia," I'll remove the offending things, whatever it is!"

"Oh no you don't I don't want my mane to be set on fire again!"

"That was just one time! And I was trying to dry your mane faster!"

"Er... you girls can stop panicking," said Siren Song as she held offending object," It seems its just a animated chocolate frog."

"Yeah kinda my fault there, sorry. It leap for freedom... say how far did it fall anyway? I just realized I jumped from the balcony when I heard the scream."

"About thirty floors," said Lemon Drop non-chilantly as she drank in Kevin's appearance.

"Yes and teleporting which I believe you can learn to do eventually," said Sombra as he appeared," IS much much faster."

"YOUR MAGESTY! (*mumble* oh this is the worst possible time, I'll have my revenge for this whatever you are mark my words) what a please surprise for you to drop in!"

"Hum? Oh yes Lady Soft Touch pleased to meet you as well. Oh Celestia! I hope your settling in well?"

"Yes Uncle Sombra, in fact since we are all here and I'm rather curious about the food where this fine sir is from, could we have our tea here?"

"What a great idea! Kevin why don't you summon a few more things? Just to get a hang of things?"

"Tia, I''ll get you for this," whispered Soft Touch as Kevin started to concentration and materialize numerous types of food and such from his reality and from the Harry Potter series (within vegetarian reasoning of course).

"Oh hush and enjoy," whispered Celestia," Besides this might be your chance here."

From that point on, Soft Touch started to try her luck....

....And where she failed utmost horribly because she got so nervous and fed Sombra a earwax flavored Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans by mistake thinking it was toffee flavoured..

"There there Softy," reassured Celestia as she and Lemon Drop carried her back to her estate," It was an honest mistak and Kevin did say it had EVERY flavour."

"IT WAS THE FATE WHICH DECIDED THAT IT WASN"T MEANT TO BE!" sobbed Soft Touch," Why else would it have been teh Earwax flavoured one!"

"At least you didn't eat the rotten eggs flavoured one like Song did. That poor bush, it did harm to no one."

"Now is not the time Lemon."

"Yeah yeah."

*****

"Do you think she will be alright there Sombra? I mean the poor mare seems to be completely out of it."

"Oh she will be fine, it was just a rather bland tasting bean after all. Anyway shall we move more onto pressing matters?"

"Er like what?"

"Your EDUCATION! After all once I send you back you will be in charge of your worlds magic and ether after all. Let's see now what should be good reading materiel. Ah here you go," said Sombra as he dropped a very heavy and thick book titled, 'How to manage your world's magic By Rinoa Leonhart The Unabridged version'," Now I would like for you to read at the very least the first twenty or so chapters before we continue on tomorrow morning and believe me its an excellent read if I do say so myself. Lady Rinoa was excellent during my time of study I..." trailed of Sombra as all Kevin could do was groan.

Author's Note

Well that's it for now folks! I like to think this Sombra and one of those teachers that just get overexcited when talking about their favorite subject but we'll see how he plays out. As for now I will distract thee from the war being waged as we all can focus more on Tia X human (?) and well as how Sombra holds his court in these trying times. I wanted to make it even longer but sometimes the flow needs it to be shorter you know? Also How many reference can ya spot eh? More Virtual Cookies all around lol.

Also do you THINK Kevin would need an assistant from another world? Or would you rather him BRAVE everything on his own? there is after all no such thing as useless criticism after all!

Here is this chapter's titbit: Back when the original universe, I was writing was the New Life for an Old Golem story, or as I prefer to mention it as the Monster Bestiary universe, I was thinking of Pathfinder's Monster Bestiary as a way to help choose my protagonist and perhaps my antagonist as well. It was then I scrapped it for the Changlings and the Hive of Queen Razorback, a more militaristic and generally more armored hive of Changlings. However choosing the protagonist wasn't easy as I had to figure out how to make the main six interact with him and find him.

The Idea eventually landed on Rarity and Spike finding a gem powered Golem during their excavations. While this went off well eventually I hit the biggest problem that made me discontinue the story as I could not write any of the main six, as at the time I was trying to be as CANON as I could possibly be. In the end I though I could not write for it any longer until I though to change the main premise into A Pathfinder Adventure.

Chapter 3: Ether 101

"....And that concludes our lecture on the limitation of a single Titan of Ether. One of the reason why I have the Council of Shadows."

"Fascinating," said Kevin in a bored tone," But as a hub world Titan I don't need to talk to myself do I?"

"No you do not since in you're hub world, there is only one of you." Answered Sombra as he adjusted his glasses," FOr example where there are multiple Earths, there is only one Hub World of Earth. We call this the Prime World Theory. So Titans of Prime Worlds don't have a version of themselves in other worlds. So while I have multiple copies of myself as it were, you do not."

"So if I screw up I don't have anyone to count on huh?"

"That's where you are wrong. As a Hub World Titan, you can literary pick up anyone from any universe and make them apart of your council. If I'm not mistaken your current council unless you choose to remodel it when you return to your world are a Discord from a Dead Equestria, Morgan Ley Fey of the Fourth Reincarnation, The Original Merlin, Guan Yu of Shu in his first reincarnation and lastly Zhuge Liang of Shu also in his first reincarnation."

"...wait whats with all the reincarnation?"

"Ah another power of a Hub World Titan. Being a hub Titan of Ehter allows you access to what we call Paradise Worlds and Underworlds. In some sense at least in Equestria's terms we are talking about Elysium and Fields of Punishment or in your terms Heaven and Hell. There you can recruit certain souls to assist in your own council and if they choose to, be reincarnated multiple times should they die. Other than reincarnation as i mentioned before you can pick people or things to become part of your council from other universes as well, with permission from their worlds Titans of course."

"This is starting to make my brain hurt..."

"Well then lets conclude our lecture with one final note. The very very Rare, Multi World Titan."

"Eh? But aren't you..."

"Let me stop you right there good boy, I'm not a Multi World Titan but rather just a average Titan of Ether for this Equestria. When I mean by Multi World Titan, I mean a Titan who governs multiple worlds. These rare titans are not given any extra power but more worlds to be responsible for and more freedom to handle problem should they arise. So if lets just say.... a evil god form another dimension enters a world under your care and you so happened to be a multi world Titan, you can disregard... certain rules... (lucky bastards)."

"I see? So what Rules are we talking about here?:

"Normally a Titan will choose a champion to deal with the offending invader. This means empowering them and sending them on their way. But the rules which bind the universe together states that only the champion native to their world can combat the invader. But a titan can disregarded that rule and empower them with power not native to the world they are defending."

"So a Multi World Titan can cheat?"

"To put it bluntly no. But they can... preuse the loopholes as it were. Well enough of that, we have to make some time off and leisure. I also need to talk so some of my counterparts."

"Whatever," said Kevin got up and made his move towards the door," See you tomorrow Sombra."

"You too lad, you too."

* * * * *

"I'm telling you he isn't normal," Argued Soft Touch," Not by a long shot."

"Whatever Softy," said Lemon Drop," Your just sour that he is taking up a lot of King Sombra's time."

"Girls please," pleaded Celestia," He deserves a chance."

"Sound like someone has a crush," Egged Lemon Drop," Well are you going to tell him?"

"Its nothing like that Lemon," answered Celestia," Its just that he could use a friend. After all right now all he is currently doing is studying under Uncle Sombra."

"...Fine but I'll draw the line if he brings out more of those Every Flavour beans."

Author's Note

Here is this chapter's titbit: Back when I first started writing i wanted to do more of a collabooration sotry among the other writers. The idea started with My Toku Universe Series of My Little Toku Universe: Kamen Rider Agito and My Little Toku Universe: Go Go Silver!.

The idea got somewhat canned in the sense when I could not keep up with writing those stories and my insistence to only allow the other writers to write in that universe once i had finished both of them. That was a big lesson I needed to learn as a writer and as a fic writer.

Until next time.

Chapter 4:Where everything went to the void

"So let me get this straight," said Kevin as he opened up another book on teleportation magic," You and your Council of Shadows, are just different versions of yourself? I though you were talking to yourselves?"

"In a way yes, I am indeed talking to myself but at the same time it's a different version of myself," said King Sombra as he picked apart a trade treaty that was given to him earlier that morning," I'm mostly known as King Sombra the Wise or at least in the Council of Shadows. There is Queen Umbra the Brave, King Sombra the Cunning, King Sombra the Terrible, Queen Umbra the Dark, Emperor Sombra of Holy Light and so on and so forth."

"Looks like most on that council of yours are royalty of some kind," commented Kevin as he unceremoniously tossed the book aside for another.

"Yes, also don't damage these books some of them are quite old." chilled Sombra," There is a.... filtering process to determine if that Sombra is a Titan and then if that Titan is er.... reasonable."

"I see. So what problem is going on that your turning that piece of paperwork into very small scraps?"

"Er well. there is this version of me, normal unicorn, very dark, very crazy. Not even a Titan but he has been er experimenting with very powerful magics recently.

"It's been three days," said Soft Touch as she paced back and forth,"With King Sombra out of commission like this, Father says some of the protective spells his majesty set around the Crystal Empire is starting to fade."

"Uncle Sombra is fine," said Celestia as she sipped some tea," He is in good hands and Uncle Sombra did put secondary measures in case his spells fade. The crystal heart and the various enchantments what surrounds the very walls of this city will protect us."

"It's been four months now," said Kevin as he summoned another Zelda Red Health potion," There must be something happening to one of his many version of himself that is causing this in the first place."

At that moment, Sombra got up from the bed, with a glow in his eyes that was white and unearthly. Before anyone could get a word out to Sombra, he utted a single word.

"RUN".

And with that Sombra started to explode in rays of light.
