Chapter 1: Ah! The mechanic to the rescue!
Infinite space! The smallest scale of reality! It's full whit so many different life forms and in this space, can also be found the source of all life. For this is where the circle of life repeats itself.
So how did this vast sea of life come in to being?
All these stars that are born, only to vanish whit the endless flow of time. Vast libraries of knowledge constantly lost and at the same time created.
In what way are their fates determined? Fate … Are all living things then bound by this thing we call fate?
There is no real answer since every life is different. Let’s take this small world for example: Earth
Here on this tiny little planet life exists in many different shapes and forms. And much is determined by the hands of fate. Life begins and life ends as well. In the brief amount of time they have, all being’s live their lives as best they can, until at last it comes to an end.
Let’s take humans (or Homo sapiens as they lake to call themselves) for example. They have always been a race that follows its desires and has continued to evolve. But like all celestial being’s they have limited time. And in that time they have managed to shape reality itself because of small gift the universe gave them. “Limitless imagination" For some that simple thing is nothing more than a joke but for others it represents the key to immortality.
It was the early hours of the day in the city of Nekomi Japan and most of its denizens were starting their normal routines. Among them were the members of Nekomi Tech Motor Club doing there morning exercises while listening to the news on their portable radio. In another part of town Sayoko Mishima was also starting here day by preparing herself for this year’s beauty completion at Nekomi Institute of Technology. She was determined to win her title of Queen back. It was just another normal day.
The only significant difference was at Tariki Hongan Temple where the last visitor’s from Heaven and Hell where giving their final congratulations to the newlyweds. The previous evening, history was made for all the realms connected by Yggdrasil. A human mortal overcame the trials of Heaven and was granted permission to marry a Goddess. News about this particular mortal’s feat’s since he first formed the contract whit Heaven travelled fast and before long hundreds of deities both good and evil came to see the one that had gained respected over time. The fact that he was the first mortal to resist the Ruler of Demonkind’s constant visits was also something unheard of. After the weeding, the old rivalry between good and evil were forgotten for the day to celebrate this important moment. But after every party there always is someone that has to clean up after it is finish. This is where the story begins.
"What a night ..." said Keiichi whit a happy smile while cleaning there now empty guest room, where only an hour ago was pact whit goddesses, demons, animals and other being’s(He was the only human present). They just had a small celebration for his weeding and to say that The Gates of Heaven and Hell opened above their home was un understatement. Even though he was the groom, he had to cater several dozen guests that were friends to his wife.
"Boy ... will my folks back home be surprised when they hear about this." While folding a small table and he got a brief glance at his left wrist where a golden bracelet made of wings sat, a gift for the couple from above.
Flashback
Music and laughter was resonating trough the small house where the lone human was getting congratulations from the goddess and pats on the back from the male counterparts while serving everyone refreshment’s. Suddenly, a ringing noise from the entrance got his attention. "Pardon me for a minute, phone ringing". After several seconds of struggling to get to the entrance he answers the phone.
"Hello, Morisato resident. Keiichi Morisato speaking." he answered happily, only to be greeted by a deep voice that got him confused.
"It's ME". Since he was a bit distracted by the party, the previous call that started the same way had been forgathend.
"What do you mean it's you, who is this?" When the response came, the memory of whom was on the other end was clear, at the same time the response was heard across the house and everyone present stopped to listen. It was unheard of that The Almighty One would speak directly to a human.
"We had a similar conversation not long ago. I believe you know ME ."
By this point Keiichi was sweating bullets. “Yes sir. I apologize ... for not recognizing YOU earlier sir. How may I be of help?"
"The reason I have made this call is to wish the both of you all the joy of the cosmos and to give you these artifact’s"
A bright yellow glow appeared on the both Keiichi's and Belldandy's left hand and after a few moment's the light diapered leaving a matching pear of yellow bracelet's made of wing's. "These are symbol of unity and will both protect you and help find one another in need." Up until that point everyone was able to hear the voice, but the last few words were heard only by Keiichi's and they send shivers down his spine "And if you EVER make her unhappy, I will know !"
End flashback
"It appears that someone really enjoys that small trinket!" came o sweet voice form behind him. The only reaction was his blood frizzing for a moment before turning around and spotting the one being that was considered the ultimate Demon who is the opposite to The Almighty One, known as the Ruler of Demon kind, Hild.
"How can I help you?" Was hi's nervous replay, while taking a few steps back. Even though she promised not to do enemy harm for the time being, he steel felt wary of her.
"Oh~ don't be like that. I am only here to give you my gift. It may not be on the same level of that " she said while pointing at the armband which gave of two small pulses. As soon as the second pulse vanished, Belldandy entered the room whit a bit of panic on her expression. " Ah~ and it help's call one another, how delightful! "
"Are you alright Keiichi?" After receiving a nod from her husband she turn her sites on ruler of the underworld and while she retaining the signature serene smile it was obvious she was on her guard. "What are you doing Hild?"
" Who, me~? I just wanted to talk to the two of you alone and give you my present." was the response from Hild while she started floating away from the human an setting herself in the center of the room." And before you ask it's not some evil talisman or something of that nature. While I do enjoy a good prank, a promise is a promise. Besides, this is you're night, my wish is to make it more special for the two of you."
Snapping her finger's the two found themselves close to one another and vearing some very reviling clothing articles. But before they could react, there armbands glowed a red aura before a huge explosion rattled the house. The once normal room had now a huge crater in the middle and for the first time in a few hundred years, Hild was asking herself: " What happened? "
Equestria - Everfree forest
It was the early hours of the morning in the Everfree when most nocturnal creatures retreated back to their homes and let their diurnal counterparts take their place. However, in a small clearing near the outer edge of the forest, a big magical sphere suddenly appeared startling its inhabitants. Archaic symbols appeared across it in different colors, lightning began striking the nearby trees accompanied by a peculiar sound. It was a cross between the sound of a bathtub drain and a hurricane. At the center of it all two unconscious bodies appeared that hovered for a moment before morphing into ponies, then dropping to the ground. Just as quickly as the phenomenon appeared, it disappeared, living the two ponies and a bag of tools in its wake. The two bracelets that were responsible for the transition were steel glowing faintly … pulling information from a collective consciousness found at the core of this new world and supplying the two whit the means to use there new forms. Once the deed was done the glow faded and silence fell upon the forest once more.
It was a beautiful weekend in Ponyville, the bird's were singing, the sky was clear and a general good mode had settled in the small town (A big miracle considering its history!). And since there was no school, all the fouls and fillies were outside whit there parent's playing in the park except for 3 fillies who were running towards the edge of town. Everypony knew them as the most destructive and cutest force in Equestria, the famous/infamous Cutie Mark Crusaders.
This time around the CMC bit off more than they can chew whit there crusading and managed to anger four earth pony colt's that were visiting from Manehattan. The four were not as forgiving as the rest of the town and were now chasing them in order to get payback. Since the girls were using a scooter they had an advantage and were ahead of their pursuers.
The plan was to reach the Everfree forest where few ventured inside and wait for the colts to leave. But luck decided to go on a coffee break when they didn’t notice a small bump in the road which they hit whit full force. The impact combined whit the speed they were moving, threw them of the scooter and disorientated the tree long enough for the colts to catch up.
Since they had to run after them across the town, the colts decided to enact their punishment by trampling the blue scooter. This action prompted the girls to scream for them to stop. Fortunately, they were heard by a pony that was exiting the forest. But what they didn't realize at the time was that this particular pony will have a great impact on their lives.
"Hey, leave them alone!" a voice came from the forest and when the bully’s turned their head's they saw a dark brown earth pony stallion whit black main and tail whit thick eyebrows running their way. He had a black jacket covering most of his frame making look menacing. His cute mark was a pair of wrenches crisscross whit a set of white wings and had on his left hoof a golden circle. Since they were found by an adult, the four colts decided that it was time to go before they were remembered by the new pony and had their parent's notified. There leader kicked the scooter again to be sure it was broken then left.
"Hey!!!" Shouted the stallion again after them but stopped near the now crying fillies.
"Are all of you alright? Are you injured?" Whit a caring voice he asked while giving them a glance for wounds and stopping once he saw the light orange pegasus pony, hugging the remains of her scooter. Applebloom was the first to take in the one that helped them, even though he was an adult he was on the scrawny side. But what caught her attention was the golden bracelet on his hoof. From a distance it was a simple shape, but up close it was an ensemble of golden wings. Her observations were cut when she remembered the question and the fact that her friend was crying.
"Wer' alright mister, thanks’ for that! Hey Scootaloo we can reaper it in town am sure." She tried to reassure her friend but only received only more crying. Before trying again, the stallion moved closer to inspect the damage.
"How about letting me give it a try, I am pretty good at repairing things. Oh, by the way, the name is Keiichi Morisato!" That had gotten the attention of the 3 and for a brief moment they forgot there problems. The name was unfamiliar and very strange to them, but something about him was comforting.
"Well am Apple Bloom and these are my friends: Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo and we are the Cutie Mark Crusaders. An' no offence mister, but you have a weird name." That only made him chuckle a little but the smile on his face never disappeared.
"None taken and I have to say that you 3 also have wary interesting names." The answer helped the CMC brighten up slightly. Since the introductions were over the small pegasus regained some of usual demeanor.
"Are you sure you can repair my scooter? It's broken in several places" After receiving a nod and getting a glimpse of his cute mark, she reluctantly gave him the now broken scooter. Not wasting any time, the stallion took out several screwdrivers and tubes from his jacket and in a few minuets’ to the silent awe of the 3 spectator’s, hade it repaired. Giving it one final look for other problems he set’s it down on the ground.
"Just give it 15 ~ 20 minuet’s for the adhesives to dry and it will be good as new." Moments after giving the news, he was tackled in a hug and received several thank you's from the pegasus. "You’re welcome, now will you be so kind to tell me where I am? I got in a small fall whit my wife and we are not exactly sure where we are!"
The statement made them scream in unison "You’re married?” But was shortly replaced whit horror. "You crashed whit you're wife in the Everfree and you left her there alone?" Apple Bloom was starting to paw the ground. "We have got the get help and call Nurse Read Heart from Ponyville before... “She was stopped by the stallion before she was able to finish her sentence.
"Oh, don't worry, she is alright! After we crashed, she wanted to stretch her wings a bit when I heard you needed help." He glanced to the sky for a moment and his smile widened "In fact she is right behind you!" No sooner than he pointed it out that a pair of powerful wing beats caught their attention.
When the CMC turned their heads, they were left in a state of shock when the mare landed. The new pony was taller than Celestia whit an impressive wing span. A ray of light shone directly upon her flaring wings; the reflection of light seemed almost... divine . She was a pure white, whit her long dark blonde hair flying about in sweeps and whorls and accentuates her movements; on her left ear was an intricate earring whit several golden pieces. The long blue dress she wore was emphasizing her beauty but at the same time was leaving enough room for here cutie mark to be seen. A church bell with a blue ribbon tied above and angelic wings in the background and on her left hoof was the same golden mark as was on Keiichi's. But the most important thing was her horn, it was huge thus making her the most beautiful being present and at the same time she was an alicorn.
The silence was broken when she spoke, but her voice was similar to bells ringing and made everything (including the animals that were near the edge of the forest) to stop and listen. "I apologize for taking so long Keiichi, but I found a few birds’ that needed my help whit their nest." After spotting the fillies her smile grew. "Hello there, young ones! How are you doing?" The serene moment past and a small grunt’s were barely heard from the forest’s denizens when the stallion responded.
"It's no problem Belldandy and regarding these 3 ... A few minutes after you left, I heard them calling for help." Lowering her head, the huge mare observed them whit worry before lighting her horn. A gentle blue magical aura spared across their small bodies, healing all the wounds they had, even a small scrape that the earth pony got while working whit her older siblings on the farm. This jolt the CMC back to reality.
Sweetie Belle was the first to respond."Th-Thank you, for helping us your highnesses". Her comment drew confused expressions on the two older ponies.
"You're welcome, but please be more careful nest time!" was the response from the mare.
"What do you mean your highnesses ? We are not royalty. At best I am a mechanic and my wife helps me at the shop" The statement baffled the fillies! There reaction was amplified when the mare sat near her husband, letting him do the talking while she was observing a butterfly that landed on her muzzle. A similar thought struck the young fillies 'They don't match at all!'
"But she is an Alicorn, which makes you a Prince! You can't simply be just a mechanic pony. And by how you act a far better prince than Blueblood." commented Sweetie Belle, the last part in a whisper that only the CMC heard. (The mere mentioning of that name brought memories of what happened to her sister every time she met him in the capital).
"Well, were not. More importantly when are not even from around here. A magical mishap broth the two of us here and we are unable able to return home at this time."
After hearing there problem, Apple Bloom chimed in. "Well that explains why you talk funny. Perhaps Twilight will be able to help you two get home, but she and ma sister are in Canterlot for the week whit the others. Hey maybe you can stay whit me at ma family at the farm until they get back."
The two exchanged glances before he responded. "Unfortunately we don't have money whit use and imposing on others is not something we do. Perhaps I can work for a day or two and then get..." he was interrupted by the ecstatic farm mare.
"That's perfect, ma brother always need a helping hoof around the barn and since you helped us, it's only right that we help you. Now come-on every pony, let's head to Ponyville." Apple Bloom happily announced.
"Is Ponyville the name of your town?" Belldandy asked while they began walking again, prompting the fillies to begin explaining the history of their small town.
