You see, he always enjoyed the nights. Its not like he can't sleep or anything; but he finds himself constantly staring at the two bright orbs in the sky, Masser and Secunda... His toils did not stay unnoticed, as he found himself being praised under the many factions he wished to join; Nightingale, Companion, Archmage. He has truly done all that has to be done here on this world... A loud explosion erupted from the College, Aaron awoke with fright as he remembered the booming roar of a dragon; luckily, this was no dragon. But that did not occur to Aaron at the current time, he jumped out of his comically large bed and bumped his head. No seriously, he hit his head pretty hard. He cast a low power healing spell on himself and got ready to scold J'zargo for botching up a highly destructive spell. His get up included the standard Archmage Robes, Vokun's Mask and ebony gauntlets with matching ebony boots. This was all in all a pretty dark appearance, as is needed here in the rough tundra of Northern Skyrim.To evade bandits, I see. This could be useful. Aaron made his way to the Khajiit's quarters; to find absolutely nothing wrong. He did nothing... NOTHING! Aaron then asked himself on who the flying duck managed to pull of destruction that powerful. He re-entered the main hall, and found the one and only Lord Sheogorath covered in aetherial fire. The Archmage began thinking of what beautiful shade of blue the fire was; paying no heed to the Prince of Madness... The Prince finally doused the flames with... juniperberry milkshake? Not even going to question it. And then proceeded to eat the cup.You have forced my hand..."What the heck are you doing here!? waking me from my nap time is a serious offence you know..." He found himself saying. "Ah yes! I've most likely most positively found a way to get you out of this world, and once your out of the way; I can finally realize my dream and build my Cheese Empire! HaHa!" The Prince exclaimed with obvious joy. "My Banana Republic shall still triumph over your petty dairy products... But what's this about a way out of here? I'm pretty sure we've tried everything. Right?" The Archmage inquired. "Oh its simple really, I put your soul into a summons book, and threw it to not even me knows where! Its not at your home world, as that has less atmospheric magiks and the book cannot form! But its somewhere! And your finally leaving this world!" Sheogorath tried... and he managed to do it, for once; the lazy good-for-nothing madgod actually did half-good for a change... But where is the book now? Location- Mojave Desert time ; 16th may 2283 Jacob has now spent two years here, trying to find a way back for the first 6 months, but eventually accepting his fate as its really fun to watch a super-mutants head explode because of a one barrel shotgun. He used the rest of his time to take his bearings, and found himself outside of a town he later learned was Goodsprings. He helped out with a couple problems all over the Mojave, meeting new friends and making new enemies. He had made his way around and acumulated a grand total of 25,000 caps on the way to the Strip... Enough to get through the gates and enough to spend on slot machines. Oh those glorious pieces of machinery. Now; I won't say that Jacob has a addiction to gambling, but he is too good for his own good... He began to shine brighter.Like, 'Prhuuaise the Sun' brighter.He believes that he has gotten a mutation that increases his luck during the day; but that is not true. Helios just likes his glowing personality... heh... This day began like any other for Jacob; wake up, drink from the toilet, eat 200 year old cakes then drink from said toilet again. He was currently in his penthouse apartment on The Strip and he still does not trust House. By this time; Jake The 200-year-old Cake eater has ran out of brilliant ideas to fill up his day. He just settled for travelling to meet that scientist that he met so long ago whose name still eludes him. This scientist has promised a way out of this nightmarish world via teleportation and 'Summons' book. Our loopy hero donned the armour of an NCR Desert Ranger, duster and all. And grabbed his trusty single-barrel with 500 shells, excessive, but worth it in the long run. He set out on his moderately boring journey across the wasted plane of existence this world was suppo-... Booooooooring! cut to the story and skip the journey! Fine... So Jacob just fast travelled there instead of going on the funny journey which could of been good writing material. Our unknown scientist noticed the hero's arrival and started the conversation. "What a surprise, I was just about to contact you on this major breakthrough I've made on our project" The scientist exclaimed with much joy that this just couldn't be the same guy. "Finally! I was kind of waiting for this moment" Said Jacob in an unenthusiastic tone."So, what do I do?" "Nothing, I already took part of your soul and crammed it in the book over on the table. So I just need to send it to your home!" The Scientist explained. "I just wait then, right?" Jacob asked. "Indeed... oh and just in case you forget again; the name is Loki" Loki clarified. I'm the upper power, just refer to me as Keith... Or anything really... Now that the two Gods have helped our heroes; lets see how they end up in Equestria ~Keith Location: Equestria Time; September 1002 ANM Princess Celestia is awoken from her slumber by her loyal royal guard, Devoted Shield, as he is frantically knocking away on the door to her chambers. She groggily climbs out of her bed "its too early for this" she mumbled under her breath; and moved onto putting on her royal regalia. She refrained from shouting and put on her best Poker face and opened the door; "Princess! Sorry to disturb you at this hour but an emergency has arisen!" Devoted exclaimed in fright. "What emergency? Even I need sleep" she huffed. "Somepony had broke into the throne room and placed something on your throne." Devoted has calmed down a bit; but is still worried about the object that the guards have found. "Oh, is that all? I thought that this was an emergency..." she said in a slightly annoyed tone."Very well, I shall see to this at once; walk with me, Devoted Shield" Then the two set off on a perilous journey through the towering white maze that is called Canterlot castle. Celestia asked the guard what the object was and he said it was a book. She was slightly ticked off, but it didn't show, and then asked why it was an emergency in the first place. The answer was intriguing to say the least; "We had called for a few members of the unicorn guard and had them scan the book, individually... it all came back with the same conclusion of high traces of both chaotic and harmonic magic. I don't know how it is possible for that to happen, your highness, but we assumed the book dangerous; and they sent me to get you."... This left Celestia thinking; she had never felt a balance of chaos and harmony since Discord first showed signs of madness, then the harmony disappeared and all that was left was the chaotic draconeqqus that was defeated a few months ago by her Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle... Is this him? Is he back and willing to do good? That is just too hopefull... The Princess and Devoted entered the throne room to see it completely normal; apart from the Royal Guard pointing their spears at a poor defenceless book that sits upon her throne. "Guards, stand down; it is just a book" she ordered to her minions Little Ponies. The Guards dropped to the floor in a bow towards their princess. She then proceeded to approach the throne to get a closer look at the book. on the spine rested two very different phrases 'Shadows hide you' and 'Praise the sun'. Celestia recognised both phrases as the first was used amongst her sisters most trusted guards as way of saying bye, and the second was used by the Sun Knights that she commanded centuries ago... She knew not what purpose they have on the book; but it has a strange powerful energy coming from it... Sort of like... A Soul. Celestia's eyes widened in realisation, this book was based of an ancient summoning tome; the kind her father used to transport large amounts of warriors to battle at any given time, so powerful that it can pull creatures across dimensions to aid in the fight against the opposing forces. But this book was different, too different, for starters; there are only two Souls here; waiting to be called to action. She sensed that these Souls are as grand as the ones that you could find in the creatures that inhabited this planet before ponykind evolved. The most devious, cunning and ugly race to ever call this world home... Humans. She was going through the thought of releasing them herself and teaching them of equestrian life. But she then decided that this could be a great test for her student and the ponies of Ponyville in general. She is to give this book to her student; and ask her to cast the spell to free these ugly beings from the confines of this book... Yeah... this will be fun. "Guards; I deem this book as no threat, but if your judgement is so sure, I will be sending this book to my faithful student for her to deal with" Celestia declared with grace and smoothness. "As you wish; your highness" said everypony present in chorus. That is one thing I can agree with her on; seems like my efforts to get them here have not been in vain... Chapter 1 : Reunion A.K.A "Twilight: Breaking Dawn"Chapter 1 Location: The Golden Oaks Library Time: The Next Day Twilight Sparkle is the one and only Librarian that works here at the Golden Oaks with her only assistant being her best friend, and slave, Spike the Dragon. Her job is to manage the income and borrowing of books here and Spike is responsible for cleaning up after her as she decides not to do any cleaning. She is a lavender unicorn with a lavender striped mane and tail; her cutie mark is of a pinkish 6 point star with 5 smaller white stars surrounding it, this signifies that her talent is magic. In her eyes; today is special. It is the day which she receives a new personal spell book from her old mentor and princess, Celestia. She has received word that this book is a summoning tome created by the king himself and that her mentor wants her to cast a creature into existence. She is currently tidying up the place and re shelving the books as the princess is delivering this book herself for a reason unknown to either her or Spike. 30 mins later A flash of light startles the young Twilight and she jumps upwards then clings to the ceiling as if she is a frightened cat. Spike goes to fetch a broom to pry her off but their guest does the honour and uses her magic to upright her former student and face her towards her. "Twilight Sparkle, greetings; how are you doing today?" The princess asks. "Ah, princess" Twilight bows "sorry for the mess; I was doing pretty good until you decided to teleport here and scared me" Celestia looks around and sees that the place is spotless; "Its okay Twilight, this delivery had to be taken personally by me for fears of it falling in the wrong hooves; this book is the most powerful that I've ever collected in my time, and I believe that its time for you have it. I take it that what I want you to do is in my letter?" She asked. "Yes it is! And I'm proud to say that I wont let you down, I will summon something and I will introduce it to Equestria!" Twilight exclaimed in joy. "Good, sorry that I cannot stay for tea; But I have a meeting with the Draconian King in the next 25 minutes" the princess said in the happiest tone she could muster, she had always hated "King Paarthunaxx" and his peace preferring race. She misses the days where she would spar with her good friend Alduin back when he ruled. The princess teleported away, leaving a surprised unicorn behind her. Twilight was sad at this but also very eager to please her princess. She let her go so she could get to work on that book as soon as possible... Her stomach growls with ferocity; having skipped breakfast to prepare for Princess Celestia. "I'll just go prepare a brunch then." Spike said quickly because he had no breakfast too. 20 more mins later Spike has gone to help Rarity collect new jewels and he wont be back for a couple of hours; Twilight seized this opportunity to finally do what Celestia has asked and form the spell to summon the creature. She has gone through the spell several times; checking it and re checking it once more. She did not want to mess with this book. Twilights setting down the book finally and she's chanting the books phrase. "Tainted Gods, hear my call; Bring the warriors liked by all, Praise the Sun ; the purest one, Hail the Moon ; the cured doom, Two separate sides ; Both with good tides. Tainted Gods, hear my call; Bring the warriors liked by all, Praise the Sun ; the purest one, Hail the Moon ; the cured doom, Two separate sides ; Both with good tides..." A portal has appeared by now and its now fluctuating between a white and a purple light. It is now raising up and a black metallic claw is appearing to drag itself through. Twilight is not caring at this moment and is trying to say the chant until the being gets through; otherwise it will be stuck in the void forever. The being has fallen onto the floor, possibly unconscious, but the portal has not closed yet. Twilight has stopped chanting by now and is staring at the portal in confusion; the portal now appears as a stable white hole. Something else is trying to get through, something lighter, something calmer, something that is now also unconscious... great... She has now approached the bodies; thinking about where she went wrong. Twilight takes close look at the supposed heroes, but there was supposed to be one? right? Looking at them; she can tell that one is clad in dark, worn robes and has a mask that looks like its made of some kind of black metal. This one also has claws and boots of the same metal, but a lot more jagged and scary looking. Around its waist lies a strange dagger and resting in his right claw is a rather large stick, which could be a staff by the amount of energy resonating off it. The other being is a bit more modern, wearing a full helmet with bug eye lenses, some kind of flexible armour and a long coat over it. the most interesting thing about this one is that you could see fur less, smooth peach claws; rounded off on the end. On its left wrist appears to be some flickering light and it beeps erratically whenever she gets too close to the gadget. Its other claw has its grip on a long metal cylinder, with a wooden back end. If she were to guess. It may be some sort of rifle; like the designs that were never approved by the Nations. The modern one is stirring and Twilight is backing away slowly. It finally sits up and looks at its surroundings; noticing her, shrugging and then looking around some more. It then looks towards the other creature, The modern one then proceeds to poke the dark one in the ribs. Repeatedly... The dark one then thrashes and mumbles "Go away, sleepy." just loud enough so she and the modern one could hear it. She did not expect it to speak and by judging by its voice; its a male. She then guesses that the other is also male as its build is similar to its sleepy dark counterpart. "There are waffles~" the modern one said in a sing-song voice, Twilight did not understand what he meant by that but the next part was most interesting. "Come to the dark-side, we have cookies" the dark one mumbled. Twilight then smirks as she noticed the interaction is brotherly. Plus the meme. "Just get up... there's a pony there" Modern bluntly said. she is paralysed in fear now, he knows she is here and she does not know his intentions. "Pony!?" Dark fully wakes up now and looks around excitedly. Only to set his sights on Twilight. "Heh, different world, different equines." "Can you talk? I'm pretty sure that the locals can talk. Yes?" "Uh yes, I can talk... My name is Twilight Sparkle. Who and what are you two?" Twilight asked. The Modern one spoke first. "My name is just simply Jacob. my title is 'The Messiah of the Wasteland' and I am really lucky in the day. That is really all you need to know." The Dark one spoke next, "I am Aaron, I am the 'Archmage of the College of Winterhold' and a 'Nightingale'. My skill in the arcane arts is greater than Archmage Shalidor himself." Twilight was happy now that she knew their names and a little about them, she relaxed a bit at this and asked if they knew each other... Jacob and Aaron looked at each other in thought until they both finally recognised one another. "Holy carp... its been a long time Aaron" Jacob finally said. Aaron then replied "Yes, yes it has been." Twilight led them both to a nearby couch and the humans sat down. She then said that she just needed to go get something; she returned with a long scroll and quill in hoof, the dreaded Q&A session begins... "So, Aaron; Where do you come from?" Twilight asked. "Just to say, we both hail from Earth. But our foolishness had nearly costed us our lives" Aaron answered. "Then; What happened?" Twilight then asked. Jacob answered this time, "This idiot managed to come up with a way to 'further science' as he put it by designing the first ever teleportation pad. The bread tests were, uh, unsuccessful but the self-testing worked; he managed to teleport through to outside the warehouse grounds. About a month later, past defending ourselves against Empress Wholegrain's mighty onslaught of grilled cheese centurions, we decided that its time to test long range teleportation. long story short; it malfunctioned and we got separated through to other dimensions. Which most likely explains why we never saw each other in the worlds we were in." "Errr. Where did you guys end up?" Twilight cautiously asked. "I ended up on a planet called Nirn. I woke up heading to my own execution in the province of Skyrim" Aaron said in a casual tone. Twilight paled. "I found myself gaining consciousness in our home world, but a nuclear version of it. I found myself bound and gagged. Then I got shot through the brain by a 9mm. I survived, like I always do" Jacob said in a self-praising tone. Twilight paled even more... She was beginning to have doubts on if she should have casted that spell. But then the Princess would be disappointed and then she would fail, and that is worse then the pasts that these two have. "Miss Sparkle; are you feeling okay? You look a little pale." Aaron Asked. "I-I'm fine... just fine. M-maybe we should c-continue this another time. I-I have room here if you two w-want to stay for the n-night." Twilight replied with a stutter. "Okay, is there anyone we should be wary of on our stay here?" Jacob inquired. "J-just my baby dragon; Spike... But he should not bother you two that much..." Twilight said, "I-if you two would make yourselves at home; I have a few p-ponies I have to get, a-and a report to send." Twilight then rushed out the door to fetch her friends and to get spike to send her findings to Princess Celestia. There was a silence for a few moments after her retreat, Jacob broke said silence. "So, do you think we broke her?" Jacob asked his dark counterpart. "Most definitely, We really need a title for this sort of thing." Aaron replied. "We just need a vampire; then I'd have the perfect title for this." Jacob said; while rubbing the bottom of his helmet. "Lets hear it anyways!" Aaron said in obvious anticipation. Jacob then opened his arms up as if he had a brilliant idea. "Twilight: Breaking Dawn!" "Perfect!" Aaron exclaimed, "wait a second; she never told us where our room is." "Welp. Seems like we just have to wait." Jacob said in faux sadness then he switched his tone. "Or; We can go search for the guest room ourselves!" he then sped off to Loki knows where. "Fun..." Aaron said sadly. "I'll just wait for Miss Sparkle and her pony friends." Chapter 2 : The Mane 6Chapter 2 : Mane 6 Our heroes continue their adventures and go on to meet the Mane 6... 30 minutes of nothingness later As you may of guessed; Aaron is a master in the arcane arts. These abilities come with shape-shifting into animate and inanimate objects, Aaron told Jacob this... They are currently playing a real life rendition of Prop-hunt, With real ammunition, and real people... Jacob is currently a hunter as he cannot shift forms; Aaron is currently a Prop, A cup to be exact, but Jacob doesn't know that. "Come out little pig..." Jacob said; wielding his trusty shotgun. "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin." Aaron replied; standing on a tabletop. "Are you a book? Because I'm sure that's against the rules in a library" Jacob asked and stated. "Uhhhh... No?" Aaron said, unsure of what Jacobs implying. The front door opens and reveals Twilight and Spike. She is wondering what Jacob is up to as he is looking around cautiously with his 'rifle' in his claws. "What are you doing?" Twilight asks. Jacob proceeded to let out a totally manly scream and jumps for cover behind the couch, he then peeks up and to his relief sees Twilight. "I-uh-we are doing nothing of utter importance to this current situation as this is obviously not me searching and shooting Aaron." Jacob says guiltily and in one breath. "Where is Aaron exactly?" Twilight asks Jacob. "Somewhere..." Jacob says. "I don't really know." "I'm everywhere! heh" Aaron says with a manical chuckle for emphasis. "To say it now. We are playing hide and seek, sort of, but with our rules and guidelines." Jacob clarifies. "What ar-" Twilight is cut short by a cup 'jumping' behind Jacob. "Ooh! is that Spike? the young dragon assistant I heard of?" Aaron asks exitedly. "A game? Can I play with you guys!?" Spike asks with a wide smile. "Sorry kiddo, this is an adults only rendition" Jacob said. Spike looks dejected now; good going Jacob. Twilight then asks if there is a way to stop this game. "Yes yes yes! One of us needs to give up!" a still hyper Aaron says."If he gives up, I win; I will NEVER EVER give up... EVER!" "Could you two please just stop, my friends think it will be a good idea to meet you two." an annoyed Twilight says. "Okay" The heroes say in unison. Jacob then proceeded to say "I give u- wwwwhooa" He then gets slammed by a rainbow blur. At this action Aaron then goes to laugh his currently ceramic ass off. "Who are you? Are you a Spy?" the rainbow one says, an orange pony then charges in and pulls off the rainbow maned pony. "A-anyone get the name of that technicolour train?" a dazed Jacob asks. Aaron has stopped laughing then proceeds to jump in front of rainbow one... As a cup "Hi there! what's your name? does it include Rainbow? By the way, I used to be a spy! Does that count?" This hyper cup kept on asking her. "What in Tarnations are you?" the orange one asks. "ah swear I'm seeing a talkin' cup" "Aaron, please stop doing that and become -uh- yourself." Twilight asked. Then stowed away information saying that Hyper Aaron is like Pinkie Pie. "Awwww, Okay" the cup then jumped up onto the red couch then mumbled "Entrance time." The cup burst into blue flames as it shifted and contorted into a much larger being. The silhouette of a bipedal being was seen as the flames died down. What was left was the form of Aaron; sitting in a cross-legged position, holding the ceramic cup he once was. "Good Afternoon" was all he said. Everyponies jaws hit the floor and Spike blurted out "That. Was. Awesome!" 3 more ponies entered the room. One had a brilliant white coat with a stylish purple mane she looked on in horror and disgust; eyes focused on the duos choice of clothing. Another was pink, and bouncy; very energetic. And the third was completely different from the others, with a butterscotch yellow coat and beautifully long pink mane. She locked up at the sight of them and went to hide behind the orange stetson-wearing pony. Aaron felt a heat on his face; luckily hidden behind his emotionless black mask. Then he set the cup on the coffee table and then Twilight cleared her throat. This snapped Jacob out of his daze and he jumped up and ran over to the couch to sit on it. "Gentlecolts; I'd like to introduce you two to my friends, or they would introduce themselves to you" Twilight looked at them with slightly pleading eyes. Pinkie Pie started first by jumping into the duo and sitting between them. "Hiimpinkiepiebutyoucancallmepinkiedoyoulikecupcakesilikecupcakes*gasp*yourenewherethatmeansineedtoplanapartydoyoulikeparties?" Aaron answered all questions "I prefer muffins, sadly. But I LOVE parties!" The ponies present looked to Aaron in shock. "What?" Orange pony spoke "Don't tell me you can understand that!" she said. "Don't tell me you can't understand that!" Aaron replied with fake shock. Orange just glared at him. The white one cleared her throat. "Im Rarity Belle. owner of the Carousel Boutique. I must say that those clothes look dreadful; Maybe I could make something better for both of you." she then tried to use her magic to pry off Their masks. Aaron's mask is enchanted so it cannot be pulled. Jacob used his hands to stop it then said "Don't touch the helmet!" in an annoyed tone. "Fine; But I just want to see what's underneath." Rarity Harrumphed. "Some other time." Jacob said in reply. The orange one stepped up next. "Ahm AppleJack! Proud owner of Sweet Apple Acres; Tha best supplier of apples in all of Eqestria!" The then looked the two over. "You two look like ya got quite the bit-a muscle on ya" "Thank you for the compliment Miss AppleJack; I may just stop by sometime to see this Sweet Apple Acres." Aaron said. "We could use ta help if ya interested in it; ther will be pay" AppleJack said. "I might just be interested" Aaron mumbled. Then his vision filled with cyan. "I'm Rainbow Dash, you used to be spy and you still could be; keep in mind, I'm watching you." She threatened. Aaron just sits completely still, un-fazed, he then smirks beneath the mask. "Really? You're going to be watching me? I bet I can take you with both my hands tied behind my back and no magic." Aaron Rebutted. "Oh its on metalhead!" She replied. "Could you two settle your disputes later? This is important!" Twilight said with a raised voice. "Fine" Aaron and the pegasus said in unison. Now the Yellow one is left. She got Aaron thinking how to approach this without startling her. He came up with a brilliant idea. He then put his hands behind his back and removed his gauntlets; After that he proceeded to kneel down to her level, showing off his pale hands. "Hey there, I'm not going to hurt you" he said. She looked at his hands then looked upwards towards his face, She then eeped and hid again. Aaron sighed and decided it would now be a good time to remove Vokun. He gripped the tip of his hood and pulled it back; showing his dark chocolate hair and pale neck to the ponies; Rarity leaned forwards in anticipation. Then he took hold of the bottom of his mask, and proceeded to remove it from its magic grip. His face is not one that would be called pretty; pale skin, glowing blue eyes that pulsed with magic, multiple small scars with a huge one that narrowly misses his left eye. The ponies in the room gasp as the sight before them had never been seen before; even Jacob gasped. The Shy one heard this and looked towards him again. She saw what was possibly his face in his hand and looked upwards. Her mind was full of questions; like how did that happen or does it still hurt? The one thing that surprised her is her own wings. *Pomph* The were stiff and wouldn't go down. Rainbow was on her back, laughing at Fluttershy's predicament. "What's your name?" Aaron asked her. "I'm F-Fluttershy" she said. "Fluttershy, a beautiful name" he said. Fluttershy is very red now and stuttering like crazy. Everypony, plus Spike and Jacob, went slackjawed at the events unfurled in front of them. Even Rainbow Dash; who has stopped laughing. Aaron then stood up and went back to the couch. He set his gauntlets and mask down on the table; next to the cup. Rarity seized this opportunity to get a closer look at the metal, but found that she could not lift them through levitation. "Excuse me, but what metal is present in this alloy? It's darker than anything I've seen and the designs are remarkable." Rarity asked. Aaron answered with this "That metal is no alloy. It's completely natural and harder than obsidian. Ebony is its name and it is one of the rarest metals found on Nirn. The masks design is not mine; this is an ancient dragon priest mask known as Vokun, Sorrow, there are 10 masks that can be found in Skyrim; there's one wood and one bone, the other 8 are made of all metals found in the tundra." "How did you come across this then?" Rarity inquired. "Really?" Rarity nodded "I got this by killing the Dragon Priest of the same name; you happy now?" Aaron said; with a hint of annoyance. Everypony in the room paled a bit, even Rainbow Dash. "Y-you k-killed somepony?" Fluttershy said with fear. "Technically; he was already dead, a smart zombie, a lich." Aaron clarified. "And evil; it was evil." "Oh... Okay then" Fluttershy said, she was a bit calmer around him knowing it was already dead. Spike is currently quaking in his non-existent boots; he has read somewhere of a powerful magic user that killed the tyrant Alduin and his Priests, but he is long dead. Right? "Moving on!" Jacob said. "Anyone want to know anything about me?" Rarity's hoof shot up; "Yes Rarity?" "We've seen his face; what does yours look like?" Rarity inquired, "Please." She added. "Okay, but only because you said please." Jacob grumbled out. Rarity squee'd in delight. Jacob then reached to the sides of his helmet, where he proceeded to click something out of place. he then lifted the top of the helmet off; showing his natural light brown curls he then set the top on the table. Next he reached lower; clicking even more items out of place. Now he removed what looked like to be some sort of breathing apparatus and set this down along side to top. All that he has on now is a semi ski mask and the red bug eye glasses. He removes the glasses; showing off his brown eyes. Next came the semi ski mask; that he just pulled over his head. Jacob had tanned skin and a clear face, void of any scars or burn marks. He looks just the same as he did before they drifted. Rarity then blushed at the handsome man in front of her. The other ponies were just confused, as they expected him to be war-ridden; just like Aaron. Fluttershy had used this time wisely to make her way over to Aaron; she then nudged his left leg. "May I sit with you? If it's okay, that is." She asked in a whisper. Truthfully; she just wanted to be near him. "um sure." Aaron whispered back, to make sure they weren't heard, then he moved to his right to allow her to sit down. She sat down to his left and during Jacob's unmasking; she then slid closer and closer to Aaron until she was practically touching him, and proceeded to lean against his left. Unexpectedly he lifted his left arm and put it around her, allowing her to move even closer. Once she was right against him; she leaned back a bit, putting the back of her head against his chest. They both had intense blushes at the point when the unmasking had finished; showing Jacob in all his glory. Applejack had noticed that Fluttershy had moved and that she and Aaron were sitting like a couple would of the corner of her eye; but all she did was smirk and say nothing about of it. All attention was on Jacob and the two thought that nopony saw them, they were correct aside from Applejack, but they didn't know that. The day drew to a close after 4 hours worth of questions from the 6 ponies and a very scared dragon. They were particularly surprised to find that Aaron is a college teacher and teaches Masters level magic in Skyrim as a whole; literally the only one that's qualified he said. None of them payed any attention to the way him and Fluttershy were sitting except for a quick glance at them, which they were both grateful for. They were sat like that for the entire time, happy smiles on both faces and a deep shade of crimson on both of them. When it was time to leave; Fluttershy turned round and nuzzled Aaron, which he nuzzled back to. She then jumped off the couch and made way for the door; happily prancing in the brightest of moods. Aaron was left with the dopiest smile he ever had since his first girlfriend. It was then that both Twilight and Jacob noticed, Spike went to bed saying he needed to get up early. Twilight then proceeded to show them their room, which was equipped with two comically small beds with oversized comforters. She then left them to their own devices; gone to get ready herself. As the two heroes stripped down to their underwear, nothing they hadn't seen before, Jacob asked the question Aaron feared the most. "You like her, don't you?" "I don't like her..."Aaron mumbled "Oh okay, you like like her then!" Jacob finalized. "Okay yeah, fine, I like her like that! Just don't get in my way again. Please." Aaron replied in a small voice. "Really? You'd think that id go after a pony? It's not like we're trapped in this world, we would be going home any time and I will be back to dating human girls again." Jacob said in a strong defiant voice. He really does not know, Does he? "Lets just get to bed; we have more days tomorrow, and I have something to look forward to now."Aaron ended it there, saying no more. Little did they know; Twilight had written everything down and woke Spike to send it to the princess. Everything, including what Aaron and Fluttershy did earlier. Now she just has to prepare how she is going to introduce them to Ponyville tomorrow. Chapter 3 : Announcing announcementsSomething has gone wrong.

Prologue: Three Gods, Two Friends, and a Book.Prologue: 2 friends Location: Skyrim Time : 4th era, After Alduin It has been 2 years since Aaron arrived here in Tamriel, his stay was rather eventful, he managed to earn the favour of all Gods; Nocturn in particular. You see, he always enjoyed the nights. Its not like he can't sleep or anything; but he finds himself constantly staring at the two bright orbs in the sky, Masser and Secunda... His toils did not stay unnoticed, as he found himself being praised under the many factions he wished to join; Nightingale, Companion, Archmage. He has truly done all that has to be done here on this world... A loud explosion erupted from the College, Aaron awoke with fright as he remembered the booming roar of a dragon; luckily, this was no dragon. But that did not occur to Aaron at the current time, he jumped out of his comically large bed and bumped his head. No seriously, he hit his head pretty hard. He cast a low power healing spell on himself and got ready to scold J'zargo for botching up a highly destructive spell. His get up included the standard Archmage Robes, Vokun's Mask and ebony gauntlets with matching ebony boots. This was all in all a pretty dark appearance, as is needed here in the rough tundra of Northern Skyrim.To evade bandits, I see. This could be useful. Aaron made his way to the Khajiit's quarters; to find absolutely nothing wrong. He did nothing... NOTHING! Aaron then asked himself on who the flying duck managed to pull of destruction that powerful. He re-entered the main hall, and found the one and only Lord Sheogorath covered in aetherial fire. The Archmage began thinking of what beautiful shade of blue the fire was; paying no heed to the Prince of Madness... The Prince finally doused the flames with... juniperberry milkshake? Not even going to question it. And then proceeded to eat the cup.You have forced my hand..."What the heck are you doing here!? waking me from my nap time is a serious offence you know..." He found himself saying. "Ah yes! I've most likely most positively found a way to get you out of this world, and once your out of the way; I can finally realize my dream and build my Cheese Empire! HaHa!" The Prince exclaimed with obvious joy. "My Banana Republic shall still triumph over your petty dairy products... But what's this about a way out of here? I'm pretty sure we've tried everything. Right?" The Archmage inquired. "Oh its simple really, I put your soul into a summons book, and threw it to not even me knows where! Its not at your home world, as that has less atmospheric magiks and the book cannot form! But its somewhere! And your finally leaving this world!" Sheogorath tried... and he managed to do it, for once; the lazy good-for-nothing madgod actually did half-good for a change... But where is the book now? Location- Mojave Desert time ; 16th may 2283 Jacob has now spent two years here, trying to find a way back for the first 6 months, but eventually accepting his fate as its really fun to watch a super-mutants head explode because of a one barrel shotgun. He used the rest of his time to take his bearings, and found himself outside of a town he later learned was Goodsprings. He helped out with a couple problems all over the Mojave, meeting new friends and making new enemies. He had made his way around and acumulated a grand total of 25,000 caps on the way to the Strip... Enough to get through the gates and enough to spend on slot machines. Oh those glorious pieces of machinery. Now; I won't say that Jacob has a addiction to gambling, but he is too good for his own good... He began to shine brighter.Like, 'Prhuuaise the Sun' brighter.He believes that he has gotten a mutation that increases his luck during the day; but that is not true. Helios just likes his glowing personality... heh... This day began like any other for Jacob; wake up, drink from the toilet, eat 200 year old cakes then drink from said toilet again. He was currently in his penthouse apartment on The Strip and he still does not trust House. By this time; Jake The 200-year-old Cake eater has ran out of brilliant ideas to fill up his day. He just settled for travelling to meet that scientist that he met so long ago whose name still eludes him. This scientist has promised a way out of this nightmarish world via teleportation and 'Summons' book. Our loopy hero donned the armour of an NCR Desert Ranger, duster and all. And grabbed his trusty single-barrel with 500 shells, excessive, but worth it in the long run. He set out on his moderately boring journey across the wasted plane of existence this world was suppo-... Booooooooring! cut to the story and skip the journey! Fine... So Jacob just fast travelled there instead of going on the funny journey which could of been good writing material. Our unknown scientist noticed the hero's arrival and started the conversation. "What a surprise, I was just about to contact you on this major breakthrough I've made on our project" The scientist exclaimed with much joy that this just couldn't be the same guy. "Finally! I was kind of waiting for this moment" Said Jacob in an unenthusiastic tone."So, what do I do?" "Nothing, I already took part of your soul and crammed it in the book over on the table. So I just need to send it to your home!" The Scientist explained. "I just wait then, right?" Jacob asked. "Indeed... oh and just in case you forget again; the name is Loki" Loki clarified. I'm the upper power, just refer to me as Keith... Or anything really... Now that the two Gods have helped our heroes; lets see how they end up in Equestria ~Keith Location: Equestria Time; September 1002 ANM Princess Celestia is awoken from her slumber by her loyal royal guard, Devoted Shield, as he is frantically knocking away on the door to her chambers. She groggily climbs out of her bed "its too early for this" she mumbled under her breath; and moved onto putting on her royal regalia. She refrained from shouting and put on her best Poker face and opened the door; "Princess! Sorry to disturb you at this hour but an emergency has arisen!" Devoted exclaimed in fright. "What emergency? Even I need sleep" she huffed. "Somepony had broke into the throne room and placed something on your throne." Devoted has calmed down a bit; but is still worried about the object that the guards have found. "Oh, is that all? I thought that this was an emergency..." she said in a slightly annoyed tone."Very well, I shall see to this at once; walk with me, Devoted Shield" Then the two set off on a perilous journey through the towering white maze that is called Canterlot castle. Celestia asked the guard what the object was and he said it was a book. She was slightly ticked off, but it didn't show, and then asked why it was an emergency in the first place. The answer was intriguing to say the least; "We had called for a few members of the unicorn guard and had them scan the book, individually... it all came back with the same conclusion of high traces of both chaotic and harmonic magic. I don't know how it is possible for that to happen, your highness, but we assumed the book dangerous; and they sent me to get you."... This left Celestia thinking; she had never felt a balance of chaos and harmony since Discord first showed signs of madness, then the harmony disappeared and all that was left was the chaotic draconeqqus that was defeated a few months ago by her Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle... Is this him? Is he back and willing to do good? That is just too hopefull... The Princess and Devoted entered the throne room to see it completely normal; apart from the Royal Guard pointing their spears at a poor defenceless book that sits upon her throne. "Guards, stand down; it is just a book" she ordered to her minions Little Ponies. The Guards dropped to the floor in a bow towards their princess. She then proceeded to approach the throne to get a closer look at the book. on the spine rested two very different phrases 'Shadows hide you' and 'Praise the sun'. Celestia recognised both phrases as the first was used amongst her sisters most trusted guards as way of saying bye, and the second was used by the Sun Knights that she commanded centuries ago... She knew not what purpose they have on the book; but it has a strange powerful energy coming from it... Sort of like... A Soul. Celestia's eyes widened in realisation, this book was based of an ancient summoning tome; the kind her father used to transport large amounts of warriors to battle at any given time, so powerful that it can pull creatures across dimensions to aid in the fight against the opposing forces. But this book was different, too different, for starters; there are only two Souls here; waiting to be called to action. She sensed that these Souls are as grand as the ones that you could find in the creatures that inhabited this planet before ponykind evolved. The most devious, cunning and ugly race to ever call this world home... Humans. She was going through the thought of releasing them herself and teaching them of equestrian life. But she then decided that this could be a great test for her student and the ponies of Ponyville in general. She is to give this book to her student; and ask her to cast the spell to free these ugly beings from the confines of this book... Yeah... this will be fun. "Guards; I deem this book as no threat, but if your judgement is so sure, I will be sending this book to my faithful student for her to deal with" Celestia declared with grace and smoothness. "As you wish; your highness" said everypony present in chorus. That is one thing I can agree with her on; seems like my efforts to get them here have not been in vain...
Chapter 1 : Reunion A.K.A "Twilight: Breaking Dawn"Chapter 1 Location: The Golden Oaks Library Time: The Next Day Twilight Sparkle is the one and only Librarian that works here at the Golden Oaks with her only assistant being her best friend, and slave, Spike the Dragon. Her job is to manage the income and borrowing of books here and Spike is responsible for cleaning up after her as she decides not to do any cleaning. She is a lavender unicorn with a lavender striped mane and tail; her cutie mark is of a pinkish 6 point star with 5 smaller white stars surrounding it, this signifies that her talent is magic. In her eyes; today is special. It is the day which she receives a new personal spell book from her old mentor and princess, Celestia. She has received word that this book is a summoning tome created by the king himself and that her mentor wants her to cast a creature into existence. She is currently tidying up the place and re shelving the books as the princess is delivering this book herself for a reason unknown to either her or Spike. 30 mins later A flash of light startles the young Twilight and she jumps upwards then clings to the ceiling as if she is a frightened cat. Spike goes to fetch a broom to pry her off but their guest does the honour and uses her magic to upright her former student and face her towards her. "Twilight Sparkle, greetings; how are you doing today?" The princess asks. "Ah, princess" Twilight bows "sorry for the mess; I was doing pretty good until you decided to teleport here and scared me" Celestia looks around and sees that the place is spotless; "Its okay Twilight, this delivery had to be taken personally by me for fears of it falling in the wrong hooves; this book is the most powerful that I've ever collected in my time, and I believe that its time for you have it. I take it that what I want you to do is in my letter?" She asked. "Yes it is! And I'm proud to say that I wont let you down, I will summon something and I will introduce it to Equestria!" Twilight exclaimed in joy. "Good, sorry that I cannot stay for tea; But I have a meeting with the Draconian King in the next 25 minutes" the princess said in the happiest tone she could muster, she had always hated "King Paarthunaxx" and his peace preferring race. She misses the days where she would spar with her good friend Alduin back when he ruled. The princess teleported away, leaving a surprised unicorn behind her. Twilight was sad at this but also very eager to please her princess. She let her go so she could get to work on that book as soon as possible... Her stomach growls with ferocity; having skipped breakfast to prepare for Princess Celestia. "I'll just go prepare a brunch then." Spike said quickly because he had no breakfast too. 20 more mins later Spike has gone to help Rarity collect new jewels and he wont be back for a couple of hours; Twilight seized this opportunity to finally do what Celestia has asked and form the spell to summon the creature. She has gone through the spell several times; checking it and re checking it once more. She did not want to mess with this book. Twilights setting down the book finally and she's chanting the books phrase. "Tainted Gods, hear my call; Bring the warriors liked by all, Praise the Sun ; the purest one, Hail the Moon ; the cured doom, Two separate sides ; Both with good tides. Tainted Gods, hear my call; Bring the warriors liked by all, Praise the Sun ; the purest one, Hail the Moon ; the cured doom, Two separate sides ; Both with good tides..." A portal has appeared by now and its now fluctuating between a white and a purple light. It is now raising up and a black metallic claw is appearing to drag itself through. Twilight is not caring at this moment and is trying to say the chant until the being gets through; otherwise it will be stuck in the void forever. The being has fallen onto the floor, possibly unconscious, but the portal has not closed yet. Twilight has stopped chanting by now and is staring at the portal in confusion; the portal now appears as a stable white hole. Something else is trying to get through, something lighter, something calmer, something that is now also unconscious... great... She has now approached the bodies; thinking about where she went wrong. Twilight takes close look at the supposed heroes, but there was supposed to be one? right? Looking at them; she can tell that one is clad in dark, worn robes and has a mask that looks like its made of some kind of black metal. This one also has claws and boots of the same metal, but a lot more jagged and scary looking. Around its waist lies a strange dagger and resting in his right claw is a rather large stick, which could be a staff by the amount of energy resonating off it. The other being is a bit more modern, wearing a full helmet with bug eye lenses, some kind of flexible armour and a long coat over it. the most interesting thing about this one is that you could see fur less, smooth peach claws; rounded off on the end. On its left wrist appears to be some flickering light and it beeps erratically whenever she gets too close to the gadget. Its other claw has its grip on a long metal cylinder, with a wooden back end. If she were to guess. It may be some sort of rifle; like the designs that were never approved by the Nations. The modern one is stirring and Twilight is backing away slowly. It finally sits up and looks at its surroundings; noticing her, shrugging and then looking around some more. It then looks towards the other creature, The modern one then proceeds to poke the dark one in the ribs. Repeatedly... The dark one then thrashes and mumbles "Go away, sleepy." just loud enough so she and the modern one could hear it. She did not expect it to speak and by judging by its voice; its a male. She then guesses that the other is also male as its build is similar to its sleepy dark counterpart. "There are waffles~" the modern one said in a sing-song voice, Twilight did not understand what he meant by that but the next part was most interesting. "Come to the dark-side, we have cookies" the dark one mumbled. Twilight then smirks as she noticed the interaction is brotherly. Plus the meme. "Just get up... there's a pony there" Modern bluntly said. she is paralysed in fear now, he knows she is here and she does not know his intentions. "Pony!?" Dark fully wakes up now and looks around excitedly. Only to set his sights on Twilight. "Heh, different world, different equines." "Can you talk? I'm pretty sure that the locals can talk. Yes?" "Uh yes, I can talk... My name is Twilight Sparkle. Who and what are you two?" Twilight asked. The Modern one spoke first. "My name is just simply Jacob. my title is 'The Messiah of the Wasteland' and I am really lucky in the day. That is really all you need to know." The Dark one spoke next, "I am Aaron, I am the 'Archmage of the College of Winterhold' and a 'Nightingale'. My skill in the arcane arts is greater than Archmage Shalidor himself." Twilight was happy now that she knew their names and a little about them, she relaxed a bit at this and asked if they knew each other... Jacob and Aaron looked at each other in thought until they both finally recognised one another. "Holy carp... its been a long time Aaron" Jacob finally said. Aaron then replied "Yes, yes it has been." Twilight led them both to a nearby couch and the humans sat down. She then said that she just needed to go get something; she returned with a long scroll and quill in hoof, the dreaded Q&A session begins... "So, Aaron; Where do you come from?" Twilight asked. "Just to say, we both hail from Earth. But our foolishness had nearly costed us our lives" Aaron answered. "Then; What happened?" Twilight then asked. Jacob answered this time, "This idiot managed to come up with a way to 'further science' as he put it by designing the first ever teleportation pad. The bread tests were, uh, unsuccessful but the self-testing worked; he managed to teleport through to outside the warehouse grounds. About a month later, past defending ourselves against Empress Wholegrain's mighty onslaught of grilled cheese centurions, we decided that its time to test long range teleportation. long story short; it malfunctioned and we got separated through to other dimensions. Which most likely explains why we never saw each other in the worlds we were in." "Errr. Where did you guys end up?" Twilight cautiously asked. "I ended up on a planet called Nirn. I woke up heading to my own execution in the province of Skyrim" Aaron said in a casual tone. Twilight paled. "I found myself gaining consciousness in our home world, but a nuclear version of it. I found myself bound and gagged. Then I got shot through the brain by a 9mm. I survived, like I always do" Jacob said in a self-praising tone. Twilight paled even more... She was beginning to have doubts on if she should have casted that spell. But then the Princess would be disappointed and then she would fail, and that is worse then the pasts that these two have. "Miss Sparkle; are you feeling okay? You look a little pale." Aaron Asked. "I-I'm fine... just fine. M-maybe we should c-continue this another time. I-I have room here if you two w-want to stay for the n-night." Twilight replied with a stutter. "Okay, is there anyone we should be wary of on our stay here?" Jacob inquired. "J-just my baby dragon; Spike... But he should not bother you two that much..." Twilight said, "I-if you two would make yourselves at home; I have a few p-ponies I have to get, a-and a report to send." Twilight then rushed out the door to fetch her friends and to get spike to send her findings to Princess Celestia. There was a silence for a few moments after her retreat, Jacob broke said silence. "So, do you think we broke her?" Jacob asked his dark counterpart. "Most definitely, We really need a title for this sort of thing." Aaron replied. "We just need a vampire; then I'd have the perfect title for this." Jacob said; while rubbing the bottom of his helmet. "Lets hear it anyways!" Aaron said in obvious anticipation. Jacob then opened his arms up as if he had a brilliant idea. "Twilight: Breaking Dawn!" "Perfect!" Aaron exclaimed, "wait a second; she never told us where our room is." "Welp. Seems like we just have to wait." Jacob said in faux sadness then he switched his tone. "Or; We can go search for the guest room ourselves!" he then sped off to Loki knows where. "Fun..." Aaron said sadly. "I'll just wait for Miss Sparkle and her pony friends."
Chapter 2 : The Mane 6Chapter 2 : Mane 6 Our heroes continue their adventures and go on to meet the Mane 6... 30 minutes of nothingness later As you may of guessed; Aaron is a master in the arcane arts. These abilities come with shape-shifting into animate and inanimate objects, Aaron told Jacob this... They are currently playing a real life rendition of Prop-hunt, With real ammunition, and real people... Jacob is currently a hunter as he cannot shift forms; Aaron is currently a Prop, A cup to be exact, but Jacob doesn't know that. "Come out little pig..." Jacob said; wielding his trusty shotgun. "Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin." Aaron replied; standing on a tabletop. "Are you a book? Because I'm sure that's against the rules in a library" Jacob asked and stated. "Uhhhh... No?" Aaron said, unsure of what Jacobs implying. The front door opens and reveals Twilight and Spike. She is wondering what Jacob is up to as he is looking around cautiously with his 'rifle' in his claws. "What are you doing?" Twilight asks. Jacob proceeded to let out a totally manly scream and jumps for cover behind the couch, he then peeks up and to his relief sees Twilight. "I-uh-we are doing nothing of utter importance to this current situation as this is obviously not me searching and shooting Aaron." Jacob says guiltily and in one breath. "Where is Aaron exactly?" Twilight asks Jacob. "Somewhere..." Jacob says. "I don't really know." "I'm everywhere! heh" Aaron says with a manical chuckle for emphasis. "To say it now. We are playing hide and seek, sort of, but with our rules and guidelines." Jacob clarifies. "What ar-" Twilight is cut short by a cup 'jumping' behind Jacob. "Ooh! is that Spike? the young dragon assistant I heard of?" Aaron asks exitedly. "A game? Can I play with you guys!?" Spike asks with a wide smile. "Sorry kiddo, this is an adults only rendition" Jacob said. Spike looks dejected now; good going Jacob. Twilight then asks if there is a way to stop this game. "Yes yes yes! One of us needs to give up!" a still hyper Aaron says."If he gives up, I win; I will NEVER EVER give up... EVER!" "Could you two please just stop, my friends think it will be a good idea to meet you two." an annoyed Twilight says. "Okay" The heroes say in unison. Jacob then proceeded to say "I give u- wwwwhooa" He then gets slammed by a rainbow blur. At this action Aaron then goes to laugh his currently ceramic ass off. "Who are you? Are you a Spy?" the rainbow one says, an orange pony then charges in and pulls off the rainbow maned pony. "A-anyone get the name of that technicolour train?" a dazed Jacob asks. Aaron has stopped laughing then proceeds to jump in front of rainbow one... As a cup "Hi there! what's your name? does it include Rainbow? By the way, I used to be a spy! Does that count?" This hyper cup kept on asking her. "What in Tarnations are you?" the orange one asks. "ah swear I'm seeing a talkin' cup" "Aaron, please stop doing that and become -uh- yourself." Twilight asked. Then stowed away information saying that Hyper Aaron is like Pinkie Pie. "Awwww, Okay" the cup then jumped up onto the red couch then mumbled "Entrance time." The cup burst into blue flames as it shifted and contorted into a much larger being. The silhouette of a bipedal being was seen as the flames died down. What was left was the form of Aaron; sitting in a cross-legged position, holding the ceramic cup he once was. "Good Afternoon" was all he said. Everyponies jaws hit the floor and Spike blurted out "That. Was. Awesome!" 3 more ponies entered the room. One had a brilliant white coat with a stylish purple mane she looked on in horror and disgust; eyes focused on the duos choice of clothing. Another was pink, and bouncy; very energetic. And the third was completely different from the others, with a butterscotch yellow coat and beautifully long pink mane. She locked up at the sight of them and went to hide behind the orange stetson-wearing pony. Aaron felt a heat on his face; luckily hidden behind his emotionless black mask. Then he set the cup on the coffee table and then Twilight cleared her throat. This snapped Jacob out of his daze and he jumped up and ran over to the couch to sit on it. "Gentlecolts; I'd like to introduce you two to my friends, or they would introduce themselves to you" Twilight looked at them with slightly pleading eyes. Pinkie Pie started first by jumping into the duo and sitting between them. "Hiimpinkiepiebutyoucancallmepinkiedoyoulikecupcakesilikecupcakes*gasp*yourenewherethatmeansineedtoplanapartydoyoulikeparties?" Aaron answered all questions "I prefer muffins, sadly. But I LOVE parties!" The ponies present looked to Aaron in shock. "What?" Orange pony spoke "Don't tell me you can understand that!" she said. "Don't tell me you can't understand that!" Aaron replied with fake shock. Orange just glared at him. The white one cleared her throat. "Im Rarity Belle. owner of the Carousel Boutique. I must say that those clothes look dreadful; Maybe I could make something better for both of you." she then tried to use her magic to pry off Their masks. Aaron's mask is enchanted so it cannot be pulled. Jacob used his hands to stop it then said "Don't touch the helmet!" in an annoyed tone. "Fine; But I just want to see what's underneath." Rarity Harrumphed. "Some other time." Jacob said in reply. The orange one stepped up next. "Ahm AppleJack! Proud owner of Sweet Apple Acres; Tha best supplier of apples in all of Eqestria!" The then looked the two over. "You two look like ya got quite the bit-a muscle on ya" "Thank you for the compliment Miss AppleJack; I may just stop by sometime to see this Sweet Apple Acres." Aaron said. "We could use ta help if ya interested in it; ther will be pay" AppleJack said. "I might just be interested" Aaron mumbled. Then his vision filled with cyan. "I'm Rainbow Dash, you used to be spy and you still could be; keep in mind, I'm watching you." She threatened. Aaron just sits completely still, un-fazed, he then smirks beneath the mask. "Really? You're going to be watching me? I bet I can take you with both my hands tied behind my back and no magic." Aaron Rebutted. "Oh its on metalhead!" She replied. "Could you two settle your disputes later? This is important!" Twilight said with a raised voice. "Fine" Aaron and the pegasus said in unison. Now the Yellow one is left. She got Aaron thinking how to approach this without startling her. He came up with a brilliant idea. He then put his hands behind his back and removed his gauntlets; After that he proceeded to kneel down to her level, showing off his pale hands. "Hey there, I'm not going to hurt you" he said. She looked at his hands then looked upwards towards his face, She then eeped and hid again. Aaron sighed and decided it would now be a good time to remove Vokun. He gripped the tip of his hood and pulled it back; showing his dark chocolate hair and pale neck to the ponies; Rarity leaned forwards in anticipation. Then he took hold of the bottom of his mask, and proceeded to remove it from its magic grip. His face is not one that would be called pretty; pale skin, glowing blue eyes that pulsed with magic, multiple small scars with a huge one that narrowly misses his left eye. The ponies in the room gasp as the sight before them had never been seen before; even Jacob gasped. The Shy one heard this and looked towards him again. She saw what was possibly his face in his hand and looked upwards. Her mind was full of questions; like how did that happen or does it still hurt? The one thing that surprised her is her own wings. *Pomph* The were stiff and wouldn't go down. Rainbow was on her back, laughing at Fluttershy's predicament. "What's your name?" Aaron asked her. "I'm F-Fluttershy" she said. "Fluttershy, a beautiful name" he said. Fluttershy is very red now and stuttering like crazy. Everypony, plus Spike and Jacob, went slackjawed at the events unfurled in front of them. Even Rainbow Dash; who has stopped laughing. Aaron then stood up and went back to the couch. He set his gauntlets and mask down on the table; next to the cup. Rarity seized this opportunity to get a closer look at the metal, but found that she could not lift them through levitation. "Excuse me, but what metal is present in this alloy? It's darker than anything I've seen and the designs are remarkable." Rarity asked. Aaron answered with this "That metal is no alloy. It's completely natural and harder than obsidian. Ebony is its name and it is one of the rarest metals found on Nirn. The masks design is not mine; this is an ancient dragon priest mask known as Vokun, Sorrow, there are 10 masks that can be found in Skyrim; there's one wood and one bone, the other 8 are made of all metals found in the tundra." "How did you come across this then?" Rarity inquired. "Really?" Rarity nodded "I got this by killing the Dragon Priest of the same name; you happy now?" Aaron said; with a hint of annoyance. Everypony in the room paled a bit, even Rainbow Dash. "Y-you k-killed somepony?" Fluttershy said with fear. "Technically; he was already dead, a smart zombie, a lich." Aaron clarified. "And evil; it was evil." "Oh... Okay then" Fluttershy said, she was a bit calmer around him knowing it was already dead. Spike is currently quaking in his non-existent boots; he has read somewhere of a powerful magic user that killed the tyrant Alduin and his Priests, but he is long dead. Right? "Moving on!" Jacob said. "Anyone want to know anything about me?" Rarity's hoof shot up; "Yes Rarity?" "We've seen his face; what does yours look like?" Rarity inquired, "Please." She added. "Okay, but only because you said please." Jacob grumbled out. Rarity squee'd in delight. Jacob then reached to the sides of his helmet, where he proceeded to click something out of place. he then lifted the top of the helmet off; showing his natural light brown curls he then set the top on the table. Next he reached lower; clicking even more items out of place. Now he removed what looked like to be some sort of breathing apparatus and set this down along side to top. All that he has on now is a semi ski mask and the red bug eye glasses. He removes the glasses; showing off his brown eyes. Next came the semi ski mask; that he just pulled over his head. Jacob had tanned skin and a clear face, void of any scars or burn marks. He looks just the same as he did before they drifted. Rarity then blushed at the handsome man in front of her. The other ponies were just confused, as they expected him to be war-ridden; just like Aaron. Fluttershy had used this time wisely to make her way over to Aaron; she then nudged his left leg. "May I sit with you? If it's okay, that is." She asked in a whisper. Truthfully; she just wanted to be near him. "um sure." Aaron whispered back, to make sure they weren't heard, then he moved to his right to allow her to sit down. She sat down to his left and during Jacob's unmasking; she then slid closer and closer to Aaron until she was practically touching him, and proceeded to lean against his left. Unexpectedly he lifted his left arm and put it around her, allowing her to move even closer. Once she was right against him; she leaned back a bit, putting the back of her head against his chest. They both had intense blushes at the point when the unmasking had finished; showing Jacob in all his glory. Applejack had noticed that Fluttershy had moved and that she and Aaron were sitting like a couple would of the corner of her eye; but all she did was smirk and say nothing about of it. All attention was on Jacob and the two thought that nopony saw them, they were correct aside from Applejack, but they didn't know that. The day drew to a close after 4 hours worth of questions from the 6 ponies and a very scared dragon. They were particularly surprised to find that Aaron is a college teacher and teaches Masters level magic in Skyrim as a whole; literally the only one that's qualified he said. None of them payed any attention to the way him and Fluttershy were sitting except for a quick glance at them, which they were both grateful for. They were sat like that for the entire time, happy smiles on both faces and a deep shade of crimson on both of them. When it was time to leave; Fluttershy turned round and nuzzled Aaron, which he nuzzled back to. She then jumped off the couch and made way for the door; happily prancing in the brightest of moods. Aaron was left with the dopiest smile he ever had since his first girlfriend. It was then that both Twilight and Jacob noticed, Spike went to bed saying he needed to get up early. Twilight then proceeded to show them their room, which was equipped with two comically small beds with oversized comforters. She then left them to their own devices; gone to get ready herself. As the two heroes stripped down to their underwear, nothing they hadn't seen before, Jacob asked the question Aaron feared the most. "You like her, don't you?" "I don't like her..."Aaron mumbled "Oh okay, you like like her then!" Jacob finalized. "Okay yeah, fine, I like her like that! Just don't get in my way again. Please." Aaron replied in a small voice. "Really? You'd think that id go after a pony? It's not like we're trapped in this world, we would be going home any time and I will be back to dating human girls again." Jacob said in a strong defiant voice. He really does not know, Does he? "Lets just get to bed; we have more days tomorrow, and I have something to look forward to now."Aaron ended it there, saying no more. Little did they know; Twilight had written everything down and woke Spike to send it to the princess. Everything, including what Aaron and Fluttershy did earlier. Now she just has to prepare how she is going to introduce them to Ponyville tomorrow.
