I'll just say this now I'm not well known for keeping stuff structured or fast paced.....or working on time at all. I know our human hasn't shown up in this chapter this is just a set up for later. I will also go on record as saying I've never seen the show. everything I know of it comes from wiki, fimfiction, youtube reviewers, and webcomics. That being said this is after she gets the big crystal tree.
A boring day
For everypony's favorite purple Princess today was looking to be a VERY boring day. Pinkie pie and rainbow dash were at a party, applejack and rarity were working, and Fluttershy was busy taking care of a Manticore who just had a baby. The shelves had been rearranged, cleaned, relabeled, and even painted (all before eight AM). Well when all else fails There's always one friend who's there for Twilight. BOOKS. SO our dear princess grabbed a spellbook and began to read aloud. "lets see Dancing Pineapple Spell, I'll save that one to show pinkie, Pillow cloning spell, juice making spell, life is a musical spell, hmm?" And lo and behold there at the bottom of the page it sat, the cure to Twilights boredom. "Personal Avatar Spirit Spell?" Twilight was highly intrigued "A spell that when cast on an object summons a being representing everyone that had a hoof in the creation of the object. The avatar can be more or less solid depending on the amount of magic used. The Avatar will also know everything related to it's self and it's creation. " Taking a peek at the How to part of the book (and completely skipping over the large WARNING section) Twilight was mildly surprised to see how easy it was, heck she wouldn't be surprised if pumpkin cake could cast it, if it wasn't for the power requirement that is. With the instructions memorized and her magic at the ready twilight took aim, focused her power into a needle point of pure power
and blasted her toaster.
However instead of the boom and bits of twisted materials she was expecting instead her toaster disappeared in a flash of purple magic and a tiny see-through Unicorn appeared. It was about the same size as er toasted and had the same silvery coating as it, it had a two toned main of light pink and purple along with slightly glowing eyes. It looked cute, and there was a sense of familiarity about it, in fact it kinda looked like "Sweetie Belle?"
The Minifigure of weaponizable adorableness turned twards her and began to speak in a slightly squeaky and metallic voice. "Correction. I am Four piece multi-cook burnless toaster Sw-33-t13" After giving her it's...name it looked down at it's self then back at twilight it decided to give her another piece pf information "Statement. I am also Incredibly adorable."
Twilight wasn't called the smartest unicorn in ponyville for nothing (even if that honor now belonged to rarity since she wasn't a unicorn anymore).
"Oh-my-Celestia-it-worked-I-ave-so-much-to-ask-you!'
Oh yeah this was going to be the spell to kill her boredom. Twilight's Horn lit up again and for the next few hours Purple flashes of magic could be seen from the windows of the library.
---two hours later----
Twilight Had learned a few things about her new spell. The effects would stay until she recast the spell on the avatar (something she had learned while trying to make an avatar of her Owl-posts avatar that ended with her getting clobbered in the head) The avatars appearance also seemed to be a mix of the source material and whoever had a hand in it's creation, with it swinging depending on how much the pony contributed (the books looked almost completely like the Authors or main characters while things like her picnic basket looked like the pony version of timberwolves). They also knew A LOT of things The diary of starswirls early years knew everything from advanced temporal anomaly detection spells that it's creator had written in his drafts but lost to how many times he had used the restroom while the book was being made (four thousand three hundred seventy nine million and twenty bathroom breaks). They also seemed to keep whatever abilities they had previously had as sweetie toaster had shown while constructing a house out of toast made through the use of adorably terrifying toaster eye-beams) Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and twilight was running out of both furniture to shoot and magical power to shoot with. A quick estimate put her at around twelve more shots (so about the power of two adult unicorns) before she'd need a nice long nap. Now for the million bit question "what do I have that would be a good learning experience, something interesting and magical?"
a quick look around the room revealed the prospects "book, book, ladle, gemstone, book, Celestia pillow, fluttershy pillow, toast house, book, Friendship crown....CROWN!"
This is a chance to learn all the secrets of the elements AND who made them (something that had caused the canterlot research society to come to blows far more often then one might expect, who knew Fluid Formula was a three time Pony Assault Warrior champion?). With a grin and a pulse of magic the beam impacted the crown.
and did absolutely nothing.
Well that was annoying but Twilight had been halfway expecting it to fail (if it was that easy surely Celestia would have tried it at some point), maybe if she upped the power?
So twilight doubled the power and let the beam fly. Only for it to once again do nothing to the crown except now the failure was also accompanied by the sound of (a rather wet) Flatulence and a particularly bad smell.
With the distinct feeling of being mocked twilight then and there decided no (priceless and irreplaceable) hunk of friendship and metal was going to beat her!
Taking all the magic she had left she formed it into the strongest version of the spell she could manage and hurled it at the crown.
The crown took the blast and started flickering in and out of view before snapping back to a fully solid state and launching the spell out the window.
Then everything exploded into purple as twilight decided this was a good time to pass out from magical exhaustion.
While our pony friends are dealing with the effects of staring into Purple strobe-lights of magic something New was appearing far outside of Ponyville.
Said New Thing turned out to be a being like this world had not seen before. Said being was also asleep.
Well so much for sleep. The creature slowly opened his eyes to berate whoever had awoken it with its horrific accent. and came face to face with a small white bunny.
Ok There's really only one way to respond to this situation. The Newly dubbed Mac jumped up and tossed the (very soft and surprisingly heavy) Bunny as far away from him as possible. "sweet black jesus it's a Mutant!' Luckily for Mac the Demon spawn landed on its feet. "y-you talked that s-shouldnt be possible!"
Now it was Our little Bunnies turn to be surprised.
Seeing as he still possessed his face and his head wasn't spinning like a top Mac decided to trust the little middle finger to gods laws. "I'm from -" And that conversation ended there. Where was He from? Mac began searching his memories. Home, somewhere safe, Familiar, WildFreeUncontrolledNeverControlled . Well that was weird. "I'm from around, so tell me little guy where are we?" Because after looking around Mac didn't see much. There was a canyon a bit farther down and a small cliff-face and a bit farther in a distance a small town could be seen. Well that got a raised eyebrow. Well That was rude. With that The bunny turned and waved Mac twards the direction of the town. In almost any other situation Mac would probably put up a fight but two things made him go with the bunny ball of badness.
1. He really didn't have any other options.
2. He was HUNGRY.
"Lead the way bunny buddy of mine."
If you've never heard a bunny chuckle you dont know adorableness.
Meanwhile Ponyville was finally beginning to pick it's self up and put it's self back together.
Which means it's time to yell at Twilight in hopes of a solution.
"Egghead we got a major problem!"
"That dreadful flash made me miss a stitch!"
"Blasted lightshow spook'd mah cows!"
"We still dont know what the main character looks like!"
Our purple princess listened to all the complaints from her friends (except pinkie) and waited for them to calm down. It was just starting to die down when...
"user twilight May I interest you and you companions in some nice calming Toast?"
In comes the living toaster (not the musician sadly) balancing a (relatively) Huge stack of toast on her metallic flank.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER!!!"
"CYLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON"
Meanwhile the rest of the ponies just cleaned up what they could and tried to ignore the Sounds coming from the library.
"PINKIE PUT DOWN THE CHAINSAW!"
Yep. Business as usual in ponyville.
For a little Bunny Angel can really move when he wants to. They arrived at the edge of a Small house with a chicken coop. "you sure she wont have a problem with me? according to you I look pretty messed up" Before Mac could question him again Angel Hopped up to the house and kicked on the door with his foot. He was then promptly Tackles by a pink and yellow blur.
AngelBunnywheredidyougoIwassoworriedaboutyouareyouhurt?!?!
Huh. Apparently Angel neglected to mention that Shy was a four foot eight bright yellow Horse with wings. Who had the voice of one of those girls that everyone wants to barracade in a room and shower with stuffed animals and treats. Who Also had pink Hair. And had apparently just noticed him given by how she froze up. Well better hope this works.
"Uuuh, Hi Miss shy. Angel said you might be willing to part with a meal?" Apparently Angel was right. She was putty in his paws.
"A-Angel brought you? umm ok. I have s-some food."
And with that she once again turned into a blob of color and bolted into the house.
Oh joy. Well might as well look around while shes...doing whatever she does. So Mac walks around taking a quick peek at everything. The chickens in the cook, the birdhouses scattered around the yard and the big pen full of sinfully adorable animals like kittens and pups. Finally dear mac had looked at everything except the birdbath. Understandably he was putting it off. After all Shy was freaked (though according that Angel that was normal) and Angel had mentioned he looked weird.
Ah well might as well get it over with. So Mac peeked at his reflection in the water. First thing he noticed was his hair. It was a messy mix of grey's, browns, greens, and purple. (mostly purple) and small bits of twigs and leaves that for some reason he couldn't seem to get all of out.. Secondly he was pale. Like Really pale, as in how-do-I-not-have-a-agonizing-sunburn pale. Next he looked at his eyes pretty basic just a blue-green color, sure the pupil shape was weird but all in all that wasn't to abnormal. Lastly he looked at his body, Hos torso was covered in what looked like treebark and snakeskin formed into some kind of shirt while his lower body had pants made of moss of some kind. Huh ok he did look a little strange but not that bad in fact "Lookin good me".

Yeah I think I might keep sweetie bot around. at least I like her better then her counterpart (who will probably also appear once or twice)
If Fluttershy were to claim confidence in any one thi.ng it would be knowledge of animals. She could name every creature from everfree to atlas (home of the Griffin Guardians, GO GUARDIANS!). But she had never seen anything quite like the creature before her. Normally this would make her freak out but currently she was too busy observing him to get worked up.
Since she didn't know what he ate she brought a wide variety of foods. Fish and Berries and breads and even leaves (just incase). Turns out she needn't have bothered. He ate everything. It was the first strange thing she really noticed (outside of his looks of course) First he started with the fruit with little problem but the fish gave him some pause, at least until The entire structure of his mouth changed. To Fluttershy's bafflement (and fear) his face seemed to ripple as jawbones strengthened and his teeth changed from the flat teeth of a herbivore to more sharp teeth perfect for ripping fish (and ponies) into bite sized pieces.
After forty minutes of non-stop eating (oh sweet celestia he just ate a metal fork without noticing) he finally put down the food and addressed his hostess. "Thanks for that miss, felt like I hadn't had a bite in ages." Suppressing a small flinch at the word bite Fluttershy weakly smiled at her new guest. Umm i-it's no problem anything for a friend of angels please don't eat me.
Not hearing The last part Mac just smiled. <'yeah, yeah Flutters is a hero so you good now Mac? not gunna keel over are ya? I saw ya eat some weird stuff."> As angel and Mac Talked Fluttershy began to notice a few more strange things about her new guest. The first was the sense of familiarity she had with him, it almost felt like being around her friends (both pony and animal). Probably why she hadn't hidden under her bed at the first sight of him. The second was Another change to his appearance and mannerisms, The longer he was around the more he would slowly change His Hair (if she was remembering the term correctly) was slowly shifting to mostly pink in color while his skin started to gain a yellow tint. The longer she watched the more apparent the changes became, as his body slimmed slightly and even his apparels colors shifted to tones closer to the rest of his body (though that might have been her imagination, better ask Rarity to be sure) and he started speaking in a softer voice until she was almost straining her ears to hear him.
Briefly she wondered if he was some sort of changling, but he was far to different from a pony and with nowhere near the control to be a changling.
With that matter settled she went back to her observations on the strange creature and her little bunny buddy.
Meanwhile at the legion of friendship. Twilight had finally gotten everyone calm and sitting (though not before Pinkie lopped of a large portion of her mane) Now girls, before anything else we need to look around and see what effects the miscast spell has had.
Seeing Rainbow opening her mouth, no doubt to say something sarcastic Twilight continued on.
Besides the light show and 77 missing miles of forest.
After a uncomfortable silence where everyone couldn't help but wonder just what DID happen to all that land (and the creatures on it) Rarity decided to ask a question. And what pray tell should we do if we do find anything out of the ordinary?
You bring it to me, or me to it. and we fix this mess.
In a small cottage a little ways away a pink and yellow anomaly sneezed.
