Atelier Equestriaby Kris The KrisChaptersGriffions, Galas, and Romantic IdiotLove God? Try a Love Queen InsteadThe First DaySo, a Bunch of Alchemists Wander into an Eldritch Abomination's Shop…Griffions, Galas, and Romantic IdiotShallie hummed lightly as she looked at a certain board covered in papers. “Hmmm, maybe I should get Yuri’s help with this Monstrous dragon…” She was broken out of her muses by the sound of a Kazoo. Turning her head, she saw Pinkie Pie skipping by an arrow head band, a pair of glasses with a red clown nose, a droopy mustache, and a party kazoo. Said party pony stopped briefly to wave at Shallie before continuing on. “Huh. So it’s that episode.” Shallie muttered, taking out a book. “Whelp, don’t have to worry about Gilda until tomorrow. Wonder what weapon she uses.” The thing about Griffons that Shallie quickly found out was that they took more after their lion counterparts rather than their eagle ones. The men were very powerful if they fought but most of the time, it was the women who did everything. She had fond memories of traveling to the the Griffon lands with Yuri for a five year vacation. Especially the parts where Yuri kept getting mistaken of a woman. “Maybe I should recruit Gilda tomorrow.” She muttered to herself before heading to the forest to look for Logy again and gather some items. Twilight stood faithfully next to Celestia as she greeted every single pony that came in. Yes, she was slightly frustrated that the time she could have spent with her mentor was being eaten up by the other party goers but she had to hold it in. All that inner thought was broken when she saw a certain street sweeper walking up arm in arm with Celestia’s top knight, Yuri Lowell. Her jaw dropped. “You know I’m not exactly much of a party guy,” Yuri snorted. “But you look so good in a tux~” Shallie giggled in response, wearing a simple blue dress with a small silver crown replacing her hat. “This tux itches,” Yuri huffed. “However, I do agree that I like good in it. Heck, about as good as you~” “Well, you could have worn a dress like last time, Dress Boy. Mentally scar some of these uptight guys~” “I see you two are up to your old tricks again,” Celestia said with a chuckle, snapping Twilight out of her shock. “Well, you know us, Celly~” Shallie rubbed the back of her head. “Can’t keep a good prankster down!” Yuri simply smirk slightly at what Shallie said, bowing before Celestia and Twilight. “Having a nice night, princess? What about you, miss Sparkle?” “I-I’m doing fine but, what are you doing with her?!” Twilight asked in exasperation, pointing to Shallie, who had taken out some strange little orbs. “Spending time with her. Is there something wrong with that, miss Sparkle?” Yuri asked. “How do you even-!” “We’re childhood friends~” Shallie interrupted the question with her answer as she tossed one of the orbs down the stairs. “Hopefully you don’t have a problem with that, miss Sparkle,” Yuri hummed. Twilight was about to say something when Shallie interrupted her again. “oh, Yuri, lets go get some of those snacks down there!” She ran away from Twilight and Celestia, her arm still interlocked with Yuri’s. “See ya later, Celly~” Yuri chuckled slightly, following Shallie, He waved at Twilight and Celestia. Twilight waved back, dumbstruck. Meanwhile in Luna’s bedroom… “Luna, would you please stop blaming yourself for what happened? It happened literal centuries ago and it was an accident!” Logix said, throwing his arms in the air. “We cannot!” Luna shouted back, “Because of us, thou were sealed in stone for a thousand years!” “1037 to be precise, but that's not the point. It happened in the past, and really means nothing at this point, for all we know it was a good thing that accident happened,” Logix snorted slightly. “But that is 1037 years too many!” “You sound like a girl who lost their lover for a year or something!” Logix said, laughing slightly. “Thou came close to taking that honor!” Luna snapped before covering her mouth, a blush adorning her face. “...I don’t compute, could you repeat that?” Logix said, blinking. Luna looked away from the male, not wanting to respond. She ran to the window and flew out. “What did I say?” Logix said as he pouted a bit, before he walked over to the window and called out after Luna “I can’t fly you know!” Author's Note Not much to say. Sorry about the short chapter. Next one will totally make up for it. Love God? Try a Love Queen InsteadShallie cackled madly as she ran by all the guards in the castle, rushing to the Lunar Princess’ room. She even briefly passed by Blueblood, who still had the creepy crush on her. Not that she minded. She could beat him even without her broom. Then she kicked open Luna’s door to see her in the middle of eating a cake. “Shallie!” She screamed, coughing on some of the sweet treat. “Lulu! I got you a present from Logy!” Shallie yelled, taking out the diamond to show off, conveniently leaving the letter attached to it in her bag. For those curious, it said this: “Have a motherfucking Token. Call the Gravity Queen with it. Hugs and Kisses, Aaron~” “Shallie, we are exalted to see thou again but thou must learn to-” “Who cares about that!” Shallie zoomed over and shoved the diamond in Luna’s hands. “It’s a wishing stone! All you gotta do is make a wish on it while holding it to your heart at it will come true!” Luna looked down at the stone, feeling sceptic about Logix even thinking about her in a romantic sense given how you could tell him to his face your feeling and he would just blink it off. Regardless, she held the diamond to her chest. “We wish Logix would return our feelings.” Shallie took a step back just as Pepe arrived at the door way with Yuri. From the diamond, something unexpected was heard, “You have reached the office of Kat Shifter. Sorry I missed your call, please leave a message after the beep. Beep.” Silence reigned in the room after the message, only to be broken by Luna. “Shallie, what have thou given us?” “It was supposed to summon someone!” Shallie ran over, snatching the diamond and shaking it a little. “It might be broken.” She muttered under her breath. Yuri had a hand to his face. The male was muttering something about Shallie’s brain possibly being the only broken thing here. Luna just looked at the green haired alchemist with a deadpan look. “We do not appreciate you toying with our emotions.” “Master. Try again?” Pepe asked, standing beside Yuri with his ears coming up to his upper leg. Shallie put the large gem to her chest. “Hey Kat, we have an idiot romantic! Come hit him for us!” “Nom de Dieu, who keeps calling? Hello? This better be important.” “Do idiot romantics who can’t see when someone is deeply in love with them important enough?” “...Romance, you say? ...I’ll be right there!” Not even a minute later, a swirling, black and red portal appeared in the room, a human woman leaping out. Her long, blonde hair moved softly in the light breeze as she landed, padding off some dust and dirt off her clothes. She smiled brightly at them all with a wave. “Hi there!” Luna stumbled back a little while Shallie didn’t look off put in the slightest. “Hi~ You have nice hair.” Yuri coughed loudly at what Shallie said. “Excuse me,” the male casually flipped his long, purple hair. “Kay. Hi, you have nicer hair than Dressboy~” Shallie obviously was spiteing Yuri. “Hi, you have nicer hair than Dressboy and Ms. Green,” Yuri was not spiteing Shallie. “Why thank you,” she giggled. “My name’s Kat. It’s nice to meet you all--oh!” She noticed Luna in the room and bowed. “Princess Luna, apologies for not noticing you sooner.” “I-It is fine.” Luna looked up at the ceiling. “So thou art like Logix, Sir Yuri, and Shallie?” “Yup.” Shallie chirped, walking over to Kat. “I’m Shallie and Dressboy over there is Yuri and the little guy is my token, Pepe~” “It’s a pleasure to meet you all. Now… what was that I heard about some romance brewing in the air~?” Kat asked as she began to lazily float in the air on her stomach. “Yeah, Logix is our friend and fellow alchemist but he can’t see that Luna loves him deeply and he ran off earlier… mostly because he’s still a criminal in Celestia’s eyes but we have a plan for that!” Shallie pointed outside. “He went that way I think. Yuri, which way did he go?” “Didn’t he went to the garden?” Yuri raised a brow. “Do you really expect him to stick around?” “Depends on his level of intelligence and how fast he is.” “So yeah, that way.” “Do we not have any say in this?” Luna asked. “Nope.” Shallie replied quickly. “Aw, how cute~!” Kat giggled as she floated over to Luna. “Does Luna have a little crush? That’s so adorable!” Luna covered her face with a pillow to hide her embarrassment. That’s when Pepe started eating her cake. “Don’t be embarrassed, Lulu,” Kat said, patting her shoulder. “But I can help!” Luna said something muttered along the lines of, “We do not require help.” “Go on and find Logix and beat some romantic stuff into his little alchemy brain!” Shallie cheered. “Nu nu nu nu,” Kat said while waving her finger. “No, that comes as a last resort. You can’t beat in feelings… physically at least. We just gotta get Luna all dolled up and play the ol’ blind date card!” She nodded and smiled. “A little bit of make-up, the perfect dress, maybe a few bits of bling, and she’ll be able to knock even an emotionless stuck-up like Aaron.” “Oh yeah, he was the guy who gave us your token.” Shallie spoke up. “He gave us good stuff and sent out Pepe as a token.” She pointed to the homunculus, face first in cake. “Whaddya say Luna?” Kat asked. “With a little luck, you won’t be sleeping in that bed alone tonight~.” Luna was shaking heavily before falling back on an old favorite. The Royal Canterlot shou-er voice. She bought the pillow down and yelled with all her strength and lung capacity, “BEGONE, ALL OF YOU!” “Woah,” Kat cried as she was blown off into the corner of the room. “Yeesh, if ya don’t want me to help, Lulu, just say so. I’m not gonna force you, after all. That would be rude.” Shallie had been blow out the window along with Pepe and his cake. “Ow… I got cake all over my clothes now…” Yuri was blown out of the door. The male groaned lowly and rubbed his ears. Loud barking was heard, following by thumping. Luna just looked away from Kat, shame written all over her face. She quickly got under the covers to hide. Shallie sat up outside. “That really smarts.” She muttered, trying to wipe the cake off. Kat floated back over to the bed and sat on the edge. “Luna, I just want to help you. That’s what I do for others. I always try to make sure my friends are happy.” “W-we shall be fine, Kat. We can get Logix’s heart on our own.” Luna stayed under the blanket. “We were content before Shallie barged in.” “To be fair, Shallie was trying to help,” Yuri said, sitting up. “Even if her intents were slightly… corrupt? Is that the word?” Luna didn’t respond to Yuri at first. After a minute of silence, she responded. “It did not work.” “Oh come on, Luna” Kat said cheerfully. “Don’t you want to at least give it a shot?” Luna sat for a moment before looking out. “We shall try.” “That’s the spirit! It’ll be great! We’ll get Rarity right on to making you the perfect dress while your friends here go get the victim!” “We’ll get him no problem!” Shallie called from the ground outside. “Just give me a minute to heal.” Luna shook slightly as she got out of bed. Yuri walked back inside, still rubbing his ears. A blue canine was following close behind him with a pipe in its mouth. Luna nodded before heading over to her dresser to grab her money bag. Kat snapped her fingers, a portal opening up. “To Carousel Boutique, Lulu. Ready to go?” The blue dog slowly moved over to the portal and stop when it was near it. It sniffed it a few times before barking. Luna nodded and went through. Kat smirked at the other Displaced. “Try to get the heart-stealer into the dining hall by seven, okay? And make sure he’s decent.” She strutted through herself before the portal closed. “Will do,” Yuri nodded before looking towards the blue dog. “Hey, Repede. Wanna play fetch~?” a smirk appeared on his face as the canine barked loudly. Luna fidgeted as Rarity got her measurements, feeling nervous about tonight. “Princess dear, you need to stop moving so much! I might end up pricking you with a needle,” Rarity said, adjusting the dress she was working on. “We are sorry, Rarity. We shall endeavor to stop.” “Thank you,” Rarity said with a smile, sewing a few gems unto the hem of the dress. “Would you mind terribly if I ask why you’re dressing up for tonight, your majesty?” She asked, making slight adjustments to the positioning of a slit on the left side of the dress. “We would rather-” “Luna’s got a big date tonight,” Kat giggled from the waiting couch she was laying on while flipping through a fashion magazine. “She’s gotten bit from the love bug~.” “Oh~ Has she now?” Rarity grinned slightly, already imagining the gossip. Luna currently couldn’t move so the best she could do was lower her head and close her eyes with a slight groan. “Who’s the lucky stallion, princess?” Rarity asked, finishing the bottom half of the dress. “Dost thou remember the stallion trapped in stone at our old castle?” Rarity gasped slightly in reaction, “Surely not that ruffian! Did he not try to assassinate you as well though?” “Twas a misunderstanding. He was showing us his abilities and our sister over reacted.” Luna sighed. “She turned him to stone before we could even argue for his freedom.” “Ah, amour de jeunesse,” Kat sighed. “Oh my…” Rarity said slowly, making sure the sleeves were of the same length. “That… it was another reason we fell from grace.” Luna’s shoulders slumped as she stared at the ground. “It was childish of us.” Kat chuckled. “Trust me, Luna. There are much more childish acts that a person can commit. I speak from experience.” Rarity stepped back for a moment to see what was left to be done and made an ‘ah’ sound and quickly put a simple silver necklace with a dark blue sapphire around Luna’s neck, “And we are done!” Luna put her arms down and turned around to look in the mirror. She gasped, raising a hand to her mouth. “You look amazing, Luna!” Kat said happily. “Enfer, if you didn’t already have a stallion on the heart, I’d be trying after you myself.” Luna didn’t respond, still looking at her reflection. “Do you like it princess?” Rarity asked, patiently waiting with her hands together behind her back. “I-it’s beautiful.” Luna just stood there, marveling how everything just looked perfect on her. “I’m glad to hear it, and since you’re getting this to impress a stallion, it’s free,” Rarity said with a broad smile. “At least allow me to give you some compensation, Rarity,” Kat offered. “Absolutely not!” Rarity declared, clapping her hands together as if she was sealing something. Luna snapped out of it and looked down to her money bag. She took out a few bits and wordlessly thrust them into Rarity’s hands. “Thank you, Rarity.” Rarity spluttered slightly but composed herself quickly, “You’re welcome princess, but really, payment is not necessary.” “We insist. Take it.” Rarity sighed, “I won’t get out of this payment will I?” “I have a better idea,” Kat said. “This was my idea, after all, Luna. No reason you should be paying.” Kat tore open a portal and pulled out a slim, purple crystal before handing it to Rarity. “Here, Rarity. Consider it a gift and a thank you for a job well done.” Rarity blinked slightly, “Uh, thank you dear, but what is this? It’s not like any other gem I’ve seen before…” “It’s a gravity crystal. A unique gem that only gravity shifters like me can create. They have many uses, plus their colors are just fabulous, wouldn’t you say?” “Yes, yes it is, though I think I have an inkling as to what I’ll use this for,” Rarity smiled slightly, setting the crystal on a nearby table. Luna put her bits up, taking a glance at the mirror again. “We should be off, Kat.” She shivered slightly, thinking about how Logix would react. “Don’t be nervous, Luna,” Kat said softly, putting her hand on the princess’ shoulder. “If this doesn’t work, I have a surefire backup plan.” “Well, goodbye princess, goodbye lady Kat,” Rarity said, bowing a bit before she went back to the living area of Carousel Boutique. Luna looked to Kat and sighed. “Let us go then.” The Displaced snapped her fingers, the two of them teleporting right back to Canterlot Castle. Meanwhile~ Logix was sitting down for a short break in a rather large cave that had blacksmithing equipment around the edges of it, which had been recently used. “Don’t know how this stuff didn’t wear down over time,” He said, letting out a short laugh. Logix paused when he heard what sounded like panting. When he look to the source, he saw Repede sitting a few feet away from him. The canine barked, wagging his tail when the male noticed him. Oh and Yuri was there too. “How are you doing?” Yuri yawned. “SHALLIE KICK!” Shallie suddenly flew in from the side, kicking Logix in the head with both feet. “MOTHERFUCK! SHALLIE! YOU TERRIBLE PERSON!” Logix shouted, getting knocked off his chair against the wall, getting a small cut on his uncovered back. “Aw, it didn’t knock him out!” Shallie whined from the ground. “Maybe next time,” Yuri chuckled, looking down to his friend. “Next time you try and kick me in the head, do it when I actually have my armored shirt on!” Logix snapped, rubbing where was cut before going to check on a stone bowl filled with molten aluminum. Shallie stood up before taking out some familiar rope. “Logy, we are kidnapping you to force you to go on a date!” Logix pulled his sword out of his sheathe and turned to face Shallie, “No. You’re not kidnapping me. PUT THE ROPE DOWN!” Repede slowly crept behind Logix while he was distracted with Shallie. “Shallie, you’re not suppose to say that out loud,” Yuri snorted. “But it’s fun to say stuff like that out loud.” Shallie stepped closer to Logix. “Drop. The. Rope.” Logix said, brandishing his sword in front of him. “But it’s my special rope. Just ask Yuri.” “Mhm, very special,” Yuri said. “Am I at the very least allowed to get clothes that aren’t slightly sweat soaked if you’re going to kidnap me?” Logix grumbled. Logix would find that his sword would vanished from his grip. Wait what? The male would briefly see Repede running off with his sword in his mouth. “Dammit Repede!” Logix shouted after the dog before he lunged and grabbed a black steel sword off the wall next to him, slowly inching towards an adjacent room with metal furniture in it. Repede ran over to Yuri and dropped the sword near him. The blue dog dropped his pipe and pulled out his dagger from its sheath with his mouth. He growled and slowly moved over to Logix. “Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Yuri stood up. “Which do you prefer?” “Hmm, I prefer not having my house invaded!” Logix snapped, backing into the room and slamming the door to it shut, things could be heard being locked, “Now let me get clothes and a shower if you’re going to force me on a date!” “Well hurry up. Shallie might get impatient,” Yuri snorted. “And you don’t want to deal with an impatient Shallie.” Loud grumbling could be heard from behind the door as footsteps could be heard moving away. “Aw, I wanted to knock him out.” Some time later… Luna sat in the dining room as she used her magic to raise the moon, looking worriedly at the seat across from her. Somewhat animated arguing could be heard from the hall nearing the dining room, “Why won’t you take the stupid blindfold off?!” Logix could be heard somewhat loudly. “To build up the suspense,” Yuri voice was heard. Luna looked at the door, confused. Why would they have a blindfold on him? Yuri’s next comment strangely answered that. “You are about to see a very beautiful lady and it’ll be h-you’ll be at awe by her appearance...Urgh. I can’t believe I said that.” “Said what dressboy?” Logix snorted slightly. “Just kick him in so we can go fly with Kat! I got the flying carpet ready and everything!” Shallie cried out. ”Do you also got Genie and a musical number planned?” Yuri asked. “Oh? So you and Yuri are going out on a date as well then?” Logix let out a short laugh, knowing full and well they didn’t think of each other that way. “No! We’re just going off to have fun without you!” Luna sweatdropped, hearing how immature Shallie was acting. Logix would then be kicked into the dining room by Yuri. Yuri was briefly heard muttering something about being confused about his sexuality. Logix grumbled and brushed off his black tuxedo, still questioning where exactly it had came from after he pulled off the blindfold. Luna stared into his eyes, blushing slightly. Logix blinked slightly, as he looked back at Luna, “Uh, hi Luna?” “Hello Logix….” She bowed. “Would you like some dinner?” Logix smiled slightly in response, bowing back to her a bit “Why yes, that would be nice, thank you.” Luna walked over to the chair and sat down, looking across to see Logix doing the same. “Would I be correct to assume it’s you that Shallie and Yuri are trying to get me to date?” Logix asked, as he sat down across from her. “It is true.” She nodded, fidgeting slightly. “I’m willing to give it a shot I suppose…” Logix said with a small sigh. Luna looked to the food and started getting small servings for herself. Logix raised a brow at this, “I know you eat more than that Luna.” “W-we are trying to keep our weight down.” She responded as she started to eat. “...Uhuh, I’ll try to go with that,” Logix laughed a bit before getting a bowl of spaghetti. Luna kept eating, not able to think of a single thing to say to Logix. “You look very nice tonight Luna,” Logix idly said, continuing to eat. “Thank you. Rarity made the dress.” “Did she now? Was she the one with the mane that looked like it had thousands of bits worth of hair products in it?” Logix said with a small grin. Luna nodded. “She is the seamstress of Ponyville.” “You ponies and your town names,” Logix shook his head slightly before looking at Luna, “So uh, what type of things are actually done on a date?” “We are not sure. This is our first date.” Luna was blushing again, staring at her food. “Well you’re not alone in that department… Wait, did they seriously think it was a good idea to try and get us both to date when neither of us have done it before?” Logix asked, a confused expression adorning his face. “Kiss her already!” Shallied yelled from one of the stained glass window before Yuri threw a orange at her head. “Shush!” Kat whispered to her. “Natural progression, you andouille.” Shallie yelped. “What does that even mean?” Luna curled up a little in embarrassment. “...Eh?” Logix said, turning to view the stained glass windows before turning back to Luna, “Ok, so, just going to pretend there wasn’t a voice coming from the windows…” Luna just shook her head. “No. This has been a waste of time.” Luna stood up and started to walk away. “Oh for the love of...,” Kat muttered before covering her hand in energy. She sent a surge of gravity into Luna, causing her to stumble and fall… right on to Logix. With the angle as such, when she landed on him, their lips met. Logix’s eyes widened in shock, falling backwards as Luna kissed him. Luna just laid on top of him in shock, not taking her lips away for what felt like the longest time. Then the door opened again. “Auntie Luna, I would like to-” Prince Blueblood froze, seeing the two kissing. Shallie started screeching. “Abort mission! Abort Mission!” “Repede! Attack!” Yuri barked. Repede barked loudly before the canine jumped through the window and charged towards Blueblood. The dog knocked the prince away from the door by tackling him. Shallie jumped in and slammed the door in Blueblood’s face. Luna shot up away Logix, panting a little. “Logix, you need to leave now!” Logix sat there stammering for a moment, “Uhh…” “Now! We can explain to our sister but you need to run!” “...But it’s Blueblood, he’s probably unconscious in the hall right now,” Logix said, raising a brow, still blushing a bit. “But the guards will see him!” Luna pointed out. “And we can’t drag him in here and cover him with a tablecloth?” Logix asked, walking to the door and cracking it open to see Blueblood was actually unconscious with Repede on top of him, wagging his tail. “...Good dog,” Logix murmured before dragging Blueblood into the room by the horn, left him in a corner covered with a tablecloth, and went back to the table where he coughed lightly, “So where did we leave off at?” “... We were eating.” Luna muttered, sitting down across from him with her face fully red. Shallie picked up Repede and snuck out. “Sorry about that.” “So uh, should we pretend the kiss didn’t happen?” Logix asked sheepishly, blushing a bit. Luna nodded quickly. “No you shouldn’t!” Kat called out, looking in from the glass. “Take it and use it to start a proper relationship, you clods! You!” points at Luna, “Start having more faith in yourself and your chances in life. And you!” points at Logix. “Start showing your emotions to a girl who has loved you for over a thousand years and literally went crazy because you were gone.” “I didn’t know that!” Logix said in response, glancing at Luna with a blush. Luna was covering her face with her hands, hiding her enormous blush. “Is that actually true Luna?” Logix asked, turning back to her. Luna took her hands away from her face, tears gather in her eyes as she nodded. “It is true. Your imprisonment is what drove us over the edge. We hated Celestia for not only taking all the attention of the ponies but also for taking away our chance at something more than friendship.” Logix stood up and walked over to Luna, standing in front of her a moment before embracing her, “I never knew that…” Luna froze for a moment before hugging him back, resting her head on his shoulder. Kat smirked at Shallie and Yuri. “Never doubt the master matchmaker.” Yuri was looking around. The male was totally not crying. Nope. He’s too cool for that. Shallie was just cheering before she stopped, slapping her forehead. “Dammit, I should have gotten some doves!” “So… I guess this means shippers don’t always ruin lives,” Logix said with a small laugh. Luna just smiled, her head still on his shoulder. “They don’t.” “Does this mean I can ship Bonbon and Lyra?” Shallied looked to Kat when she asked that. “That’s already canon Shallie, you forgot Rainbow Rocks,” Logix said, with a snort, letting go of Luna with a small smile. “Never watched it.” Shallie muttered. Luna stepped away from Logix. “N-now what do we do?” “No idea!” Logix declared sticking an arm in the air. “Kiss, you morons!” the three shouted at the new couple. Logix shrugged and looked at Luna with a smile, leaning forward slightly. Luna met him halfway and started kissing him passionately. Logix slowly wrapped his arms around her lower back. A low groan could be heard from the pile of unconscious unicorn in the corner that went by the name of Blueblood. Shallie ran over and kicked him again. “Shut up, romantic moment.” Luna wrapped her arms around Logix, closing her eyes. Kat sighed contently. “Match made,” she said with finality. She turned to the two beside her. “My work here is done. But don’t be afraid to hit me up some other time.” She started sinking into a portal beneath her. “Farewell~.” “See ya,” Yuri waved in Kat’s direction, still looking away. Shallie then threw Pepe at her. “Pepe’s my Token! Come by anytime you want me to make something!” “Oh mon Dieu,” Kat groaned as she disappeared. “Another satané mouth to feed!” Shallie giggled before looking back to Luna and Logix. “You two really should get a room.” Author's Note Kris: Yup, another Crossover so soon after the other one. Djskywalker is fun to do crossover’s with. Also, succesfull shipping! Lunar: Logix, a complete idiot about romance until he’s kissed apparently. ;p Cat: Yuri is totally not crying tears of joy. Nope. I don’t know where you get that idea from. (He is totally jealous - Kris) DJ: This was against my code for shippers, but as with most of my characters… I can’t tell them what to do. Kat: You can say that again! ;P. See ya in tabloids~! Pepe: Hello. Blonde Displaced. (Oi vey, another voice to deal with - Kat) The First Day I REGRET NOTHING! Twilight walked through town, having had a very brief meeting with a very pink girl who just gasped loudly and ran away. “Sweeping~ Sweeping~ Sweep until trash vanishes~” Twilight stopped when she heard that horrendous singing, Spike trying to cover his ears, not liking it either. She looked toward the tone deaf girl singing and almost stumbled. She had light green hair, mostly covered by a weird yellow hat, green eyes, a long sleeved teal blouse, orange gloves, a bag, a large belt with various things on it, a ridiculously short blue plaid skirt, and red sneakers. Over all, she looked rather out of place. The girl looked up from her sweeping. “Ah! Hello new ponies!” She shortened the boom somehow and attacked it to the back of her belt before waving both arms at Twilight. “You’re speaking to the next super rich pony!” Twilight rolled her eyes, “Really. How are you going to do that?” “I’m going to keep sweeping and sell the stuff I make with Alchemy!” Twilight’s ears perked up at that, her fingers brushing the other book in her bag that she had brought with her, Alchemy Basics by Shallotte Elminus. It was an art that was recently created in the last decade, though it was a practice not many ponies did due to the danger of going to areas where monsters roamed for ingredient gathering. That, and the explosions that happened if you failed. “You practice alchemy?” “Yeah, I do it a lot when I’m not sweeping~” The girl started rocking on her heels. “Oh yeah, just call me Shallie~ You are?” Twilight fumbled a little before responding. “I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia’s personal student. I’m here to oversee the Summer Sun Celebration.” She stated proudly. “Really? Neat~ I bet with you here, this will be the most interesting day of the year~” Shallie giggled. “I probably shouldn't keep you though. You still have work to do.” “Oh, yes. It was nice meeting you, Shallie.” Twilight bowed a little before starting to walk away. “Anytime, friend~” Shallie called out to Twilight and Spike’s retreating back. She snickered when Twilight stumbled again. Shallie turned away and started sweeping. “Wow, it really has been a thousand years… Time sure flies. Maybe I should follow after and spy on them. Would be fun to see Logy again. Maybe he can help me with the Mayor’s jobs~” She snickered a little. “Maybe I should troll Twilight a little until Discord pops up.” One adventure later… Twilight sat up as the light started fading from where the Elements of Harmony were activated, her friends groaning near by. Where Nightmare Moon has previously been standing was now a significantly smaller pony of very similar colors. “Is everypony okay?” Twilight looked to her friends, something she now had pride in saying. Sounds of confirmation sounded out from the 5 mares around her, each slightly different, though Rarity seemed much more concerned with her hair being restored. Though that was about when the ponies noticed their new accessories. crick “Gee, Twilight. Ah’ thought you were just spoutin’ a lot of hooey but I reckon’ we really do represent tha’ Elements of Friendship.” “Indeed you do,” Twilight’s head spun to the window when she heard her mentors voice, the sun rising after the longest night and Celestia appearing in a bright flash of light. While her friends bowed, Twilight ran up to the ruler of Equestria and hugged her, “I knew you could do it, Twilight.” crack “B-but you told me it was just an old ponies tale.” “I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more.” Celestia gestured to the others, briefly noting a cracked statue. ‘Really, this was getting annoying, could they not hear me? I’ve been practically been screaming in my mind for the last few minutes since the stone started cracking, trying to get the attention of any of them,’ This was only faintly heard by ponies close to the statue. Something happened as the seven ponies looked to the other alicorn in the room, Celestia approaching the dark blue alicorn. “Luna, will you accept my friendship?” “Helllooooooo?! I’m almost sure one of you can hear me!” Pinkie stopped her crying and looked to the statue. It was a stallion with a rusted plaque at the base. It said, ‘Mage-Smith Logix’ “Ah! Yes you! Pink one! Could you possibly crack some of the stone on the statue? It would be greatly appreciated~” “Okie Dokie Loki~” Pinkie Pie then took out her party cannon. This was going to suck. “...Wait, is that a cannon?!” Celestia yelled out something but that was muffled by the party cannon getting fired, blowing the statue out of the castle. “OHGODOHGODOHGOD,” Could be heard by everyone there as the statue was blasted out of the castle, a figure being pushed out of the stone. Celestia tried to catch the figure but due to her recent imprisonment, wasn't strong enough. When the crashing stopped a groan of pain could be faintly heard “Whyyyy?” All the ponies looked out the window to see a white haired ‘stallion’ covered in cake and confetti. He stood up and started wiping cake off of his face, flinging it at the ground before picking up a gold and white sword, as well as a faintly glowing crystal which he examined slightly and slid it into a belt pouch before looking around “...Kinda dreary,” “Logix Fiscario!” Celestia yelled out the hole, glaring at him. He yelped and turned around, eyes widening when he saw Celestia before activating a warp gate, yelling words out behind him, “Whatever it was this time, it wasn’t my fault! It wasn’t last time either!” Celestia tried to follow but failed to get to the hole in time, “No!” Twilight ran to the hole with the rest of her friends and asked, “Who was that, Princess Celestia?” “...That was Logix, a criminal who tried to assassinate Luna under the pretense of a fireworks demonstration.” All six girls gasped. Nearby, Shallie pouted in the tree she was in. “Great, now I gotta go find him and drag him back.” She hopped out. “Sounds like fun~” Author's Note Kris: Was part of a one shot thing, bloomed into a full story. (Like I don’t have enough on my plate.) Cat’s character will appear next chapter. Lunar: This former one shot bloomed into a flower in it’s own right. Cat: Why am I the one who has nothing to say here? Lunar: Just because.*Cat pouts at this* So, a Bunch of Alchemists Wander into an Eldritch Abomination's Shop…Shallie hummed as she leaned on her broom with Yuri covering his face to hide his snickers, staring at Logy hiding in a bush in the Canterlot Garden. “So… How’d you get stuck this time?” “Learning how to fly, the hell do you think?” Logix replied, snark obvious in his voice. “But you don’t even have a broom!” Shallie whined, walking over and pulling him out. Yuri just kept snickering, getting cut off when something landed on his head. Logix huffed and waved his sword, “Magical swords, but no, I got knocked out of the window by Luna on accident,” He said, pointing up at a rather high window. “Well, you should just stop trying to seduce her.” Shallie pointed out. “She’s still rather shaken after getting free.” “I’m not trying to seduce her! I just figured out that she liked me!” Logix snapped, crossing his arms with a huff. Yuri took the thing, now revealed to be a phone off of his head. he pressed the quick dial button and put it to his ear. “But isn’t that bestiality?” Shallie tilted her head, knowing full well the anthroness of the ponies. “Guys, I might-” Yuri said, holding up a finger. “I don’t even- You know what, no, you’re not pulling this crap on me, I just got out of a rusting statue and I have a headache from falling, don’t start!” Logix said, rubbing his temples. “Guys, please stop arguing-” “I have headaches everyday, man. Plus, I got trapped in a ruin for a couple years hunting for one item from a monster. “GUYS!” Yuri snapped. “WHAT?!” Logy and Shallie snapped, looking over at Yuri with an exasperated expression. “I might have accidentally contacted an alien or universe traveler,” Yuri held up the phone. “...What.” Shallie squeaked. “Yuri… Who let you near the brownies again?” Logy asked slowly, giving him an odd look before noticing the phone, “...Is that an Iphone?” Yuri gave a small glare to Logy before nodding. “Sooooo, we might be getting company soon?” Shallie asked. A quiet noise filtered into the garden through the phone. Vwaaaaaaaaaaa... All three of the displaced looked to the phone, Yuri slowly putting it on the ground and backing away. The noise repeated, slightly louder, this time coming from seemingly nowhere. Vwaaaaaaaaaaaa “...Is that a vuvuzela?” Logix asked with a grimace. Shallie and Yuri started covering their ears. “Noooo, not the sound! I hate the sound!” Shallie was flipping out a little. One final burst of sound, this time accompanied by blaring dubstep, laser lights, a fog cloud, confetti, MLG airhorns, and one bishonen human, wearing an ensemble of leather and spikes. VWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Yuri kept backing up, while Shallie took out her broom, “MUST STOP NOISE!” She swung her broom at the human. Logix slid a crystal into his odd glove and took aim at the man, “Stop the vuvuzelas! Or I fire!” The sound continued, the human standing atop the phone doing nothing but grinning an infuriating grin and bowing a mocking bow. Somehow, his mocking reply was heard even above the ruckus. “Try me.” “...Screw the crystal,” Logix muttered, sliding out a glowing purple knife with an alchemical symbol on it which he stabbed into the ground and formed… a mud pie with it? He picked it up and threw it at the man. Shallie just kept hitting the guy, Yuri rubbed his head before starting to walk back. Aaron rolled his eyes and deflected everything in a quiet explosion of shadows, reverting back to his natural form in a split second. “Alright, alright, I’ll stop.” “Well, I was about to ask.” Yuri looked a little dejected. Shallie gave a deep sigh, uncovering her ears. Aaron shrugged, “Alright, introductions. I’m Aaron Heibai, extradimensional shopkeeper and probably the most powerful being that you’ll ever meet. You have summoned me via my sweet-ass smartphone. Would you like to browse my wares?” “Question, are you human?” Logix asked, warily watching Aaron. A raised…. uh… eyebrow? was the only reply, the shadow-being’s face glowing brighter in response. “Ok, better question, were you a human?” Logix asked, rolling his eyes. “Eh… sorta. I was a human… then a shadow… then a Void Dweller… then a being of near omnipotence… now I’m back to being a Void Dweller. So, yes, actually.” “In that case sure! I’ll take a look at your shop, just the last time someone offered something like this it was a demon who didn’t know what a human was,” Logix grumbled, moving over to Aaron. “We beat him up though.” Shallie grinned, Yuri putting a hand on her head. “Wonderful! You probably won’t regret this!” Aaron cheerfully pulled open a door that simply hadn’t been there a second ago, ushering Logix inside. “If I find anything related to tentacles I’m turning around instantly,” Logix said to Aaron as he entered. “You just jinxed us, you know that.” Yuri pointed out, walking in with Shallie skipping behind him. “If I find a book on summoning things I’ll buy it for Luna or something,” Logix snorted, ignoring what Yuri said. Aaron paused and floated up into the air. “Uh… there’s, well, there might be a small problem concerning tentacles… Well, if you stay out of the Adult Section, you should be fine, but be wary when opening pre-made summoning scrolls… some of them are… volatile.” Yuri grabbed Shallie before she get away. “No adult stuff for you.” “But I’m over a thousand years old!” “I don’t care.” Yuri started dragging her along with him. Logix merely chuckled and moved off into the shop, picking up an occasional book to skim through. Shallie was crying as she was dragged. “But I want the stuff!” Aaron chuckled and took up a watchful spot at the front desk, idly skimming through a magazine. Shallie ran right up, carrying quite a few bottles of different items and a couple brooms. Yuri followed Shallie, carrying a bag of gels and an unusual red-purple sword with a hollow center. Logix moved towards the front with a small cut on his cheekbone, holding 3 spellbooks, a odd black staff, and… A Galatine from Warframe. Aaron looked up, stacks of magazines and other literature engulfing the front desk in an incredibly intricate and well made castle. “So, I see all of us have been busy.” Logix groaned, “I opened one of these books to find a summoning rite that’s activated by any magic. I got a cut in response. This is Luna’s.” He said, holding out the book that had a lock on it. “I got all the rare alchemy items and some new brooms.” She dumped all the items. “Oh, and a new hat.” She pulled out a black velvet newsboy cap. “I got some gels for healing and this sweet sword,” Yuri hummed, gesturing to his sword. “I would get some clothes but I have this strange ability to change in random costumes whenever I want. It’s weird but I love it.” “The other two are books on ancient alchemy so I can learn how to do use alchemy without a sword, the staff feels like it had darkness in it, so I like it, and the sword is the Galatine from Warframe, best game in my opinion,” Logix said, laying his items on the table. “Interesting choices. Will that be all?” “I think so.” Shallie muttered, scratching her head under her hat. “I guess,” Yuri replied. “Indeed,” Logix nodded. Aaron smiled and dispelled his magazine-castle, motioning them over to the cash register. “So, what kind of currency do you take, or will you take jobs in exchange because I’m a master alchemist.” Shallie spoke up. Logix simply dumped a bag of alchemic knives and armor on the table, “Here’s my payment,” Aaron swept half the pile under the table and held out a receipt. “Thank you for your time, here’s your receipt.” Shallie took the receipt and handed it to Logix. “Thanks.” “No problem.” Aaron leaned back in his chair and smiled indulgently. Logix smiled and nodded, “Keep the rest, I have way too many,” Shallie had one question. “So, what’s with the phone?” Aaron paused and stuck a finger up in a lecture pose. “Well, the thing is…. are any of you familiar with the Multiverse at this point?” “I know the multiversal theory from earth but that’s it,” Logix said with a shrug. “Yeah, I RPed with Yuri all the time about it on Earth.” Shallie rubbed her head. “What she said,” Yuri pointed a finger to Shallie. “Never knew these people before I got sent here,” Logix said, shrugging again. Aaron dropped his head, literally, into his hands and sighed, tossing his head back and forth as he spoke. “Okay, well the Multiverse is this great big thing with a bunch of smaller things, Universes, inside it. That’s about all you need to know about the whole of it. As pertaining to my sweet-ass phone, there are people known as Displaced, humans that bought something or another from some douchebag Merchant and got sent, usually, to Equestria. Usually as something pertaining to the item they bought. They have Tokens, objects that can be used to summon said Displaced whenever necessary. Mine is a special case, since I only really give it out to people on a case by case basis, whereas most Displaced have it just spread to all corners of the Multiverse. Point is, you can call me with the phone and I’ll be there pretty much within the next five seconds. Probably.” “So there might be other versions of us out there?” Shallie asked. “Can we make these token things as well?” Logix asked, idly rubbing a small plate of metal shaped like a shield on a belt pouch. Aaron nodded, “Yeah, sure, whaddaya want to make?” His head was now bobbing around, his body was nowhere to be found. Shallie looked up. “...Oh my god, you’re the headless merchant!” She cried out before Yuri lightly hit her in the head. “.... Bodiless. I’m the bodiless merchant at this point.” Aaron deadpanned, smacking Shallie upside the head with his six foot long braid. “Uhhhh…” Logix said with a confused expression. Shallie gave a small whine before grabbing one of her new brooms. “Sorry, my mind’s weird when thinking.” “Isn’t your mind always weird?” Yuri asked. “Noooooo!” Shallie huffed. “Sometimes I think about normal stuff too!” “No. No you don’t Shallie,” Logix snorted. “You’re both mean!” She started hitting them both on the head with her broom. “Why’d I give you two immortality again?” “Hell if I know! You did it to me in my sleep! Besides the fact that you’re really not a good candidate for knowing how to give someone immortality,” Logix groaned. “I made my girlfriend immortal in her sleep.” Aaron mumbled, stacking his head atop Logix’s and clamping on with finger-like spiderlegs. “...Please get off, you remind me of a Half-Life 2 headcrab,” Logix shivered. “Mwehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.” Aaron smirked and wrapped his braid around Logix’s neck like a scarf, using it as a leverage point to extend upwards and grow a new body from his neck stump, arms growing out first and then the rest of his body growing out laterally until he was perched in a perfect handstand on Logix’s head. “NO! NO! NO! NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!” Logix flailed, throwing Aaron off of his head, into the nearby bush. “Am I the only slightly normal one here?” Yuri groaned, watching this. “Nope~ You might be insane in the head too.” Shallie hummed. Aaron’s head popped out of Logix’s shirt collar, wearing a purple top hat with an ace of spades stuck in the hatband. “We’re all mad here,” Aaron giggled, slipping out of Logix’s shirt like a snake and curling down onto the floor and slithering to a stand. “I’m sane but if this insanity keeps up I’ll lose my sanity!” Logix said, throwing his arms up into the air before walking off for a few minutes before running back out and towards the area the others with an extremely pale and somewhat disturbed visage, “Never again…” “And this is why I never recommend wandering around without a clear goal in mind~” Aaron sing-songed creepily, his double toned, echoing voice giving him an air of total fucking holy shit. “Why is the adult section on the first floor?” Logix asked, weakly. “Because life hates you?” Yuri suggested with a snigger. “That or it’s telling you to ask Luna on a date already.” . Logix looked to Yuri with a confused expression, “Why would I do that?” Aaron sniggered and called from the five trillionth floor up, “SHE WANTS THE D~!” Shallie joined in. “She doooooooo~!” Yuri just pointed to Aaron and Shallie. “What they said. Plus, whenever I talk to her, it’s always about you.” “Eh?” Logix said, tilting his head, somehow already having forgotten what Luna had said to him. “....” Aaron reappeared behind Logix and dumped a vial of pink liquid on him. “There. If that doesn’t make her jump his bone, I dunno what will.” “OH GOD THE HELL IS THIS?!” Logix shouted quickly trying to get the liquid off of his body. It did not work. At all. “What did you do?” Yuri lazily asked. “Weeeeellllll…. I dumped a specialized form of aphrodisiac/pheromone/perfume on him that’ll make Luna go absolutely fucking wild for his D. I also dumped a vial of a similar liquid on Luna, whiiiich has the similar effect of making Logix go absolutely fucking wild for her V.” Aaron smirked, “I am the master of dumping aphrodisiacs on people.” Shallie had a simple question. “Isn’t that rape?” “I HAVE TO BURN MY FAVORITE SET OF CLOTHES NOW! AND SIT IN A SCALDING SHOWER FOR HOURS! YOU TERRIBLE TERRIBLE PERSON!” Logix shouted, flailing his arms a bit. “Mnyeh~!” Aaron stuck out his eldritch tongue, tendrils flailing and squirming as the hit open air. Logix jumped back, accidentally slamming his back into the wall next to the door with a slightly less disturbed look on his face than before. Shallie and Yuri backed away from Aaron with a NOPE look on their faces. “Um, can we get back on topic before this ends in…. all sorts of nope?” Yuri asked. The tongue that may or may not have literally been from hell flailed around a little more before retracting into Aaron’s mouth as he grinned a mostly normal grin. “Sure.” Shallie took out a broom. “I want this to be my Token!” Logix was fumbling with a small bag that was tied shut before he pulled it open and dumped what looked like a few small chunks of gold tumbled, “Would you please get rid of that stuff that you put on me and Luna? Please?” he sounded a bit desperate as he asked this. “Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-” As Aaron had no need to breathe, he droned his single word on for the next five minutes, never once changing expression as he droned on and on. “-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine." “Do you have a giant pot? I want to go make my Token real quick!” Shallie asked. “Yeah yeah, it’s to the left.” Aaron stretched his arm around a corner and pointed out a large cauldron, simultaneously snapping his other hand and removing the pink liquid from Logix. Shallie ran over and started throwing in items, starting to stir it up. Yuri took off his golden bracelet. “Can my blastia be my Token?” Logix sighed, “Thank you Aaron,” “You’re welcome, Logix. And yes, Yuri.” “How do I do it again?” Yuri asked. “Think of a phrase, strangely named one.” “... Can I do it later?” Yuri asked, looking a bit put off. There was an explosion from the area Shallie was in. “It worked!” She walked away holding something fluffy and adorable and holding a dagger. “I made my Token~” “....That has got to be the fluffiest Token.” Aaron mused, grabbing it with two hands and ripping it violently into the original and a copy. Another pair of hands threw the original Token into a portal to the Void as another pair tossed the copy into a portal to Jupiter. Shallie and Yuri looked horrified and slightly traumatized. Logix shrugged, “Eh.” “So….. why?” Shallie asked in a tiny voice. It was that moment when one of them fell out of a ripple in the air onto Logix’s head, “...Too fluffy,” he said, throwing the token at Shallie. From high, high above, Jupiter squealed in joy, her voice audible even from where she sat on the five quintillionth, eight hundred millionth floor, “IT’S SO FLUFFY I’M GONNA DIE!” Shallie started hugging the homunculi close. “So fluffy~” She hummed. “Your name’s Pepe~” “Alright, what about the rest of you two fluff heads?” Aaron asked, tossing around a severed Hitler skull. “I’ll wait until I can think of something to say…” Yuri muttered. “Uh, I guess so,” Logix said, pulling the small shield shaped piece of metal off of his bag and held it out, focusing whatever energy he could into it, and stopped for a bit, “Wait, do we say something as well?” “If’n ya want.” Aaron waved a hand, opening another portal to the Void. Logix nodded and looked back to his piece of metal and spoke up, “I am Logix Fiscario, Alchemical Blacksmith, call upon me when you need to be armed for things to come,” he finished and tossed the piece of metal into the portal Aaron opened. “Now what?” Shallie asked, Yuri still looking at his future Token. “Get dress-boy to hurry the fuck up with his Token. Fucking twat I don’t have all day y’know.” “Yes you do.” Some female called up from above. “GET BACK TO WORK, YOU PART TIME BITCH OF A SLAVE,” Aaron shouted, waving his fists and generally just flailing around in an incomprehensible eldritch manner. “Only if you give cookies or a raise!” the voice called back. “I ALREADY PAY YOU SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS AN HOUR YOU FUCKING MERCENARY. WHAT MORE DO YOU FUCKING WANT!?” “Cookies.” “FUCKING FINE. DROWN IN THEM, THEN.” And lo, the seventeenth floor exploded in a wave of various types of cookies. “That voice sounds familiar…” Shallie muttered. Yuri sweatdropped. “That sounded like Shallie.” “Cookies~!” Logix sweatdropped as well, “Please don’t let there be another Shallie!” Aaron added another sweatdrop to the chain, “Uh… well… y’see…. hehe...” “Oh goddammit it is isn’t it!” Logix said, frantically looking for the exit. “Should we leave before we cause a time paradox?” Yuri asked, looking around worriedly. “Meh. Wouldn’t be the first time there was a time paradox in here.” Aaron muttered, buffing his nails on his shirt. Yuri grabbed Shallie by the arm. “We’re leaving.” He started dragging her away. Logix warily grabbed the items he bought and followed them away. “Alright then~ Oh, but before I forget…..” Aaron trailed off, grabbing Yuri’s blastia and throwing it in the portal as they left. “Oh, and one more thing….” With all the speed of a professionally thrown fastball, Aaron flung a black diamond directly into the back of Logix’s head, one with a note taped on it. The force of impact somehow carried the three of them from his shop and back to where they were before, doors closing and disappearing behind them. “Byyyyyeeee~” “MOTHERFUCK!” Logix yelled, grabbing the back of his head, glaring behind him. Shallie picked up the token. “Ooooh, shiny!” “I am the protector of the innocent, warrior of the weak, call upon me for assistance and I shall come. Call for the Gravity Shifter and I will make those who harm others beg for mercy as they are crushed at my feet. Hold this gem close to thine heart and I shall be at your side as a fellow warrior!” She quickly put it in her bag and ran away from both the boys, snickering loudly. Shallie had an evil idea. Yuri put an arm on Logy’s shoulder. “You should run, by the way.” Logix shivered and nodded a bit before sprinting off into the garden, and could be seen actually vaulting over the edge of the wall, leaving the castle without being noticed by guards. Yuri shook his head before walking toward the castle. Author's Note Kris: Told you I’d make it better! Lunar: Poor poor Logix, he doesn’t know what’s coming for him. Jsyrin: Aaron is the master of trolling people with weird antics. Muahaha. (aphrodisiacs as well apparently -Lunar) Cat: Why is Yuri the slightly sane one? (Because he doesn’t hang around near Ponyville - Kris)
Griffions, Galas, and Romantic IdiotShallie hummed lightly as she looked at a certain board covered in papers. “Hmmm, maybe I should get Yuri’s help with this Monstrous dragon…” She was broken out of her muses by the sound of a Kazoo. Turning her head, she saw Pinkie Pie skipping by an arrow head band, a pair of glasses with a red clown nose, a droopy mustache, and a party kazoo. Said party pony stopped briefly to wave at Shallie before continuing on. “Huh. So it’s that episode.” Shallie muttered, taking out a book. “Whelp, don’t have to worry about Gilda until tomorrow. Wonder what weapon she uses.” The thing about Griffons that Shallie quickly found out was that they took more after their lion counterparts rather than their eagle ones. The men were very powerful if they fought but most of the time, it was the women who did everything. She had fond memories of traveling to the the Griffon lands with Yuri for a five year vacation. Especially the parts where Yuri kept getting mistaken of a woman. “Maybe I should recruit Gilda tomorrow.” She muttered to herself before heading to the forest to look for Logy again and gather some items. Twilight stood faithfully next to Celestia as she greeted every single pony that came in. Yes, she was slightly frustrated that the time she could have spent with her mentor was being eaten up by the other party goers but she had to hold it in. All that inner thought was broken when she saw a certain street sweeper walking up arm in arm with Celestia’s top knight, Yuri Lowell. Her jaw dropped. “You know I’m not exactly much of a party guy,” Yuri snorted. “But you look so good in a tux~” Shallie giggled in response, wearing a simple blue dress with a small silver crown replacing her hat. “This tux itches,” Yuri huffed. “However, I do agree that I like good in it. Heck, about as good as you~” “Well, you could have worn a dress like last time, Dress Boy. Mentally scar some of these uptight guys~” “I see you two are up to your old tricks again,” Celestia said with a chuckle, snapping Twilight out of her shock. “Well, you know us, Celly~” Shallie rubbed the back of her head. “Can’t keep a good prankster down!” Yuri simply smirk slightly at what Shallie said, bowing before Celestia and Twilight. “Having a nice night, princess? What about you, miss Sparkle?” “I-I’m doing fine but, what are you doing with her?!” Twilight asked in exasperation, pointing to Shallie, who had taken out some strange little orbs. “Spending time with her. Is there something wrong with that, miss Sparkle?” Yuri asked. “How do you even-!” “We’re childhood friends~” Shallie interrupted the question with her answer as she tossed one of the orbs down the stairs. “Hopefully you don’t have a problem with that, miss Sparkle,” Yuri hummed. Twilight was about to say something when Shallie interrupted her again. “oh, Yuri, lets go get some of those snacks down there!” She ran away from Twilight and Celestia, her arm still interlocked with Yuri’s. “See ya later, Celly~” Yuri chuckled slightly, following Shallie, He waved at Twilight and Celestia. Twilight waved back, dumbstruck. Meanwhile in Luna’s bedroom… “Luna, would you please stop blaming yourself for what happened? It happened literal centuries ago and it was an accident!” Logix said, throwing his arms in the air. “We cannot!” Luna shouted back, “Because of us, thou were sealed in stone for a thousand years!” “1037 to be precise, but that's not the point. It happened in the past, and really means nothing at this point, for all we know it was a good thing that accident happened,” Logix snorted slightly. “But that is 1037 years too many!” “You sound like a girl who lost their lover for a year or something!” Logix said, laughing slightly. “Thou came close to taking that honor!” Luna snapped before covering her mouth, a blush adorning her face. “...I don’t compute, could you repeat that?” Logix said, blinking. Luna looked away from the male, not wanting to respond. She ran to the window and flew out. “What did I say?” Logix said as he pouted a bit, before he walked over to the window and called out after Luna “I can’t fly you know!” Author's Note Not much to say. Sorry about the short chapter. Next one will totally make up for it.
Love God? Try a Love Queen InsteadShallie cackled madly as she ran by all the guards in the castle, rushing to the Lunar Princess’ room. She even briefly passed by Blueblood, who still had the creepy crush on her. Not that she minded. She could beat him even without her broom. Then she kicked open Luna’s door to see her in the middle of eating a cake. “Shallie!” She screamed, coughing on some of the sweet treat. “Lulu! I got you a present from Logy!” Shallie yelled, taking out the diamond to show off, conveniently leaving the letter attached to it in her bag. For those curious, it said this: “Have a motherfucking Token. Call the Gravity Queen with it. Hugs and Kisses, Aaron~” “Shallie, we are exalted to see thou again but thou must learn to-” “Who cares about that!” Shallie zoomed over and shoved the diamond in Luna’s hands. “It’s a wishing stone! All you gotta do is make a wish on it while holding it to your heart at it will come true!” Luna looked down at the stone, feeling sceptic about Logix even thinking about her in a romantic sense given how you could tell him to his face your feeling and he would just blink it off. Regardless, she held the diamond to her chest. “We wish Logix would return our feelings.” Shallie took a step back just as Pepe arrived at the door way with Yuri. From the diamond, something unexpected was heard, “You have reached the office of Kat Shifter. Sorry I missed your call, please leave a message after the beep. Beep.” Silence reigned in the room after the message, only to be broken by Luna. “Shallie, what have thou given us?” “It was supposed to summon someone!” Shallie ran over, snatching the diamond and shaking it a little. “It might be broken.” She muttered under her breath. Yuri had a hand to his face. The male was muttering something about Shallie’s brain possibly being the only broken thing here. Luna just looked at the green haired alchemist with a deadpan look. “We do not appreciate you toying with our emotions.” “Master. Try again?” Pepe asked, standing beside Yuri with his ears coming up to his upper leg. Shallie put the large gem to her chest. “Hey Kat, we have an idiot romantic! Come hit him for us!” “Nom de Dieu, who keeps calling? Hello? This better be important.” “Do idiot romantics who can’t see when someone is deeply in love with them important enough?” “...Romance, you say? ...I’ll be right there!” Not even a minute later, a swirling, black and red portal appeared in the room, a human woman leaping out. Her long, blonde hair moved softly in the light breeze as she landed, padding off some dust and dirt off her clothes. She smiled brightly at them all with a wave. “Hi there!” Luna stumbled back a little while Shallie didn’t look off put in the slightest. “Hi~ You have nice hair.” Yuri coughed loudly at what Shallie said. “Excuse me,” the male casually flipped his long, purple hair. “Kay. Hi, you have nicer hair than Dressboy~” Shallie obviously was spiteing Yuri. “Hi, you have nicer hair than Dressboy and Ms. Green,” Yuri was not spiteing Shallie. “Why thank you,” she giggled. “My name’s Kat. It’s nice to meet you all--oh!” She noticed Luna in the room and bowed. “Princess Luna, apologies for not noticing you sooner.” “I-It is fine.” Luna looked up at the ceiling. “So thou art like Logix, Sir Yuri, and Shallie?” “Yup.” Shallie chirped, walking over to Kat. “I’m Shallie and Dressboy over there is Yuri and the little guy is my token, Pepe~” “It’s a pleasure to meet you all. Now… what was that I heard about some romance brewing in the air~?” Kat asked as she began to lazily float in the air on her stomach. “Yeah, Logix is our friend and fellow alchemist but he can’t see that Luna loves him deeply and he ran off earlier… mostly because he’s still a criminal in Celestia’s eyes but we have a plan for that!” Shallie pointed outside. “He went that way I think. Yuri, which way did he go?” “Didn’t he went to the garden?” Yuri raised a brow. “Do you really expect him to stick around?” “Depends on his level of intelligence and how fast he is.” “So yeah, that way.” “Do we not have any say in this?” Luna asked. “Nope.” Shallie replied quickly. “Aw, how cute~!” Kat giggled as she floated over to Luna. “Does Luna have a little crush? That’s so adorable!” Luna covered her face with a pillow to hide her embarrassment. That’s when Pepe started eating her cake. “Don’t be embarrassed, Lulu,” Kat said, patting her shoulder. “But I can help!” Luna said something muttered along the lines of, “We do not require help.” “Go on and find Logix and beat some romantic stuff into his little alchemy brain!” Shallie cheered. “Nu nu nu nu,” Kat said while waving her finger. “No, that comes as a last resort. You can’t beat in feelings… physically at least. We just gotta get Luna all dolled up and play the ol’ blind date card!” She nodded and smiled. “A little bit of make-up, the perfect dress, maybe a few bits of bling, and she’ll be able to knock even an emotionless stuck-up like Aaron.” “Oh yeah, he was the guy who gave us your token.” Shallie spoke up. “He gave us good stuff and sent out Pepe as a token.” She pointed to the homunculus, face first in cake. “Whaddya say Luna?” Kat asked. “With a little luck, you won’t be sleeping in that bed alone tonight~.” Luna was shaking heavily before falling back on an old favorite. The Royal Canterlot shou-er voice. She bought the pillow down and yelled with all her strength and lung capacity, “BEGONE, ALL OF YOU!” “Woah,” Kat cried as she was blown off into the corner of the room. “Yeesh, if ya don’t want me to help, Lulu, just say so. I’m not gonna force you, after all. That would be rude.” Shallie had been blow out the window along with Pepe and his cake. “Ow… I got cake all over my clothes now…” Yuri was blown out of the door. The male groaned lowly and rubbed his ears. Loud barking was heard, following by thumping. Luna just looked away from Kat, shame written all over her face. She quickly got under the covers to hide. Shallie sat up outside. “That really smarts.” She muttered, trying to wipe the cake off. Kat floated back over to the bed and sat on the edge. “Luna, I just want to help you. That’s what I do for others. I always try to make sure my friends are happy.” “W-we shall be fine, Kat. We can get Logix’s heart on our own.” Luna stayed under the blanket. “We were content before Shallie barged in.” “To be fair, Shallie was trying to help,” Yuri said, sitting up. “Even if her intents were slightly… corrupt? Is that the word?” Luna didn’t respond to Yuri at first. After a minute of silence, she responded. “It did not work.” “Oh come on, Luna” Kat said cheerfully. “Don’t you want to at least give it a shot?” Luna sat for a moment before looking out. “We shall try.” “That’s the spirit! It’ll be great! We’ll get Rarity right on to making you the perfect dress while your friends here go get the victim!” “We’ll get him no problem!” Shallie called from the ground outside. “Just give me a minute to heal.” Luna shook slightly as she got out of bed. Yuri walked back inside, still rubbing his ears. A blue canine was following close behind him with a pipe in its mouth. Luna nodded before heading over to her dresser to grab her money bag. Kat snapped her fingers, a portal opening up. “To Carousel Boutique, Lulu. Ready to go?” The blue dog slowly moved over to the portal and stop when it was near it. It sniffed it a few times before barking. Luna nodded and went through. Kat smirked at the other Displaced. “Try to get the heart-stealer into the dining hall by seven, okay? And make sure he’s decent.” She strutted through herself before the portal closed. “Will do,” Yuri nodded before looking towards the blue dog. “Hey, Repede. Wanna play fetch~?” a smirk appeared on his face as the canine barked loudly. Luna fidgeted as Rarity got her measurements, feeling nervous about tonight. “Princess dear, you need to stop moving so much! I might end up pricking you with a needle,” Rarity said, adjusting the dress she was working on. “We are sorry, Rarity. We shall endeavor to stop.” “Thank you,” Rarity said with a smile, sewing a few gems unto the hem of the dress. “Would you mind terribly if I ask why you’re dressing up for tonight, your majesty?” She asked, making slight adjustments to the positioning of a slit on the left side of the dress. “We would rather-” “Luna’s got a big date tonight,” Kat giggled from the waiting couch she was laying on while flipping through a fashion magazine. “She’s gotten bit from the love bug~.” “Oh~ Has she now?” Rarity grinned slightly, already imagining the gossip. Luna currently couldn’t move so the best she could do was lower her head and close her eyes with a slight groan. “Who’s the lucky stallion, princess?” Rarity asked, finishing the bottom half of the dress. “Dost thou remember the stallion trapped in stone at our old castle?” Rarity gasped slightly in reaction, “Surely not that ruffian! Did he not try to assassinate you as well though?” “Twas a misunderstanding. He was showing us his abilities and our sister over reacted.” Luna sighed. “She turned him to stone before we could even argue for his freedom.” “Ah, amour de jeunesse,” Kat sighed. “Oh my…” Rarity said slowly, making sure the sleeves were of the same length. “That… it was another reason we fell from grace.” Luna’s shoulders slumped as she stared at the ground. “It was childish of us.” Kat chuckled. “Trust me, Luna. There are much more childish acts that a person can commit. I speak from experience.” Rarity stepped back for a moment to see what was left to be done and made an ‘ah’ sound and quickly put a simple silver necklace with a dark blue sapphire around Luna’s neck, “And we are done!” Luna put her arms down and turned around to look in the mirror. She gasped, raising a hand to her mouth. “You look amazing, Luna!” Kat said happily. “Enfer, if you didn’t already have a stallion on the heart, I’d be trying after you myself.” Luna didn’t respond, still looking at her reflection. “Do you like it princess?” Rarity asked, patiently waiting with her hands together behind her back. “I-it’s beautiful.” Luna just stood there, marveling how everything just looked perfect on her. “I’m glad to hear it, and since you’re getting this to impress a stallion, it’s free,” Rarity said with a broad smile. “At least allow me to give you some compensation, Rarity,” Kat offered. “Absolutely not!” Rarity declared, clapping her hands together as if she was sealing something. Luna snapped out of it and looked down to her money bag. She took out a few bits and wordlessly thrust them into Rarity’s hands. “Thank you, Rarity.” Rarity spluttered slightly but composed herself quickly, “You’re welcome princess, but really, payment is not necessary.” “We insist. Take it.” Rarity sighed, “I won’t get out of this payment will I?” “I have a better idea,” Kat said. “This was my idea, after all, Luna. No reason you should be paying.” Kat tore open a portal and pulled out a slim, purple crystal before handing it to Rarity. “Here, Rarity. Consider it a gift and a thank you for a job well done.” Rarity blinked slightly, “Uh, thank you dear, but what is this? It’s not like any other gem I’ve seen before…” “It’s a gravity crystal. A unique gem that only gravity shifters like me can create. They have many uses, plus their colors are just fabulous, wouldn’t you say?” “Yes, yes it is, though I think I have an inkling as to what I’ll use this for,” Rarity smiled slightly, setting the crystal on a nearby table. Luna put her bits up, taking a glance at the mirror again. “We should be off, Kat.” She shivered slightly, thinking about how Logix would react. “Don’t be nervous, Luna,” Kat said softly, putting her hand on the princess’ shoulder. “If this doesn’t work, I have a surefire backup plan.” “Well, goodbye princess, goodbye lady Kat,” Rarity said, bowing a bit before she went back to the living area of Carousel Boutique. Luna looked to Kat and sighed. “Let us go then.” The Displaced snapped her fingers, the two of them teleporting right back to Canterlot Castle. Meanwhile~ Logix was sitting down for a short break in a rather large cave that had blacksmithing equipment around the edges of it, which had been recently used. “Don’t know how this stuff didn’t wear down over time,” He said, letting out a short laugh. Logix paused when he heard what sounded like panting. When he look to the source, he saw Repede sitting a few feet away from him. The canine barked, wagging his tail when the male noticed him. Oh and Yuri was there too. “How are you doing?” Yuri yawned. “SHALLIE KICK!” Shallie suddenly flew in from the side, kicking Logix in the head with both feet. “MOTHERFUCK! SHALLIE! YOU TERRIBLE PERSON!” Logix shouted, getting knocked off his chair against the wall, getting a small cut on his uncovered back. “Aw, it didn’t knock him out!” Shallie whined from the ground. “Maybe next time,” Yuri chuckled, looking down to his friend. “Next time you try and kick me in the head, do it when I actually have my armored shirt on!” Logix snapped, rubbing where was cut before going to check on a stone bowl filled with molten aluminum. Shallie stood up before taking out some familiar rope. “Logy, we are kidnapping you to force you to go on a date!” Logix pulled his sword out of his sheathe and turned to face Shallie, “No. You’re not kidnapping me. PUT THE ROPE DOWN!” Repede slowly crept behind Logix while he was distracted with Shallie. “Shallie, you’re not suppose to say that out loud,” Yuri snorted. “But it’s fun to say stuff like that out loud.” Shallie stepped closer to Logix. “Drop. The. Rope.” Logix said, brandishing his sword in front of him. “But it’s my special rope. Just ask Yuri.” “Mhm, very special,” Yuri said. “Am I at the very least allowed to get clothes that aren’t slightly sweat soaked if you’re going to kidnap me?” Logix grumbled. Logix would find that his sword would vanished from his grip. Wait what? The male would briefly see Repede running off with his sword in his mouth. “Dammit Repede!” Logix shouted after the dog before he lunged and grabbed a black steel sword off the wall next to him, slowly inching towards an adjacent room with metal furniture in it. Repede ran over to Yuri and dropped the sword near him. The blue dog dropped his pipe and pulled out his dagger from its sheath with his mouth. He growled and slowly moved over to Logix. “Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Yuri stood up. “Which do you prefer?” “Hmm, I prefer not having my house invaded!” Logix snapped, backing into the room and slamming the door to it shut, things could be heard being locked, “Now let me get clothes and a shower if you’re going to force me on a date!” “Well hurry up. Shallie might get impatient,” Yuri snorted. “And you don’t want to deal with an impatient Shallie.” Loud grumbling could be heard from behind the door as footsteps could be heard moving away. “Aw, I wanted to knock him out.” Some time later… Luna sat in the dining room as she used her magic to raise the moon, looking worriedly at the seat across from her. Somewhat animated arguing could be heard from the hall nearing the dining room, “Why won’t you take the stupid blindfold off?!” Logix could be heard somewhat loudly. “To build up the suspense,” Yuri voice was heard. Luna looked at the door, confused. Why would they have a blindfold on him? Yuri’s next comment strangely answered that. “You are about to see a very beautiful lady and it’ll be h-you’ll be at awe by her appearance...Urgh. I can’t believe I said that.” “Said what dressboy?” Logix snorted slightly. “Just kick him in so we can go fly with Kat! I got the flying carpet ready and everything!” Shallie cried out. ”Do you also got Genie and a musical number planned?” Yuri asked. “Oh? So you and Yuri are going out on a date as well then?” Logix let out a short laugh, knowing full and well they didn’t think of each other that way. “No! We’re just going off to have fun without you!” Luna sweatdropped, hearing how immature Shallie was acting. Logix would then be kicked into the dining room by Yuri. Yuri was briefly heard muttering something about being confused about his sexuality. Logix grumbled and brushed off his black tuxedo, still questioning where exactly it had came from after he pulled off the blindfold. Luna stared into his eyes, blushing slightly. Logix blinked slightly, as he looked back at Luna, “Uh, hi Luna?” “Hello Logix….” She bowed. “Would you like some dinner?” Logix smiled slightly in response, bowing back to her a bit “Why yes, that would be nice, thank you.” Luna walked over to the chair and sat down, looking across to see Logix doing the same. “Would I be correct to assume it’s you that Shallie and Yuri are trying to get me to date?” Logix asked, as he sat down across from her. “It is true.” She nodded, fidgeting slightly. “I’m willing to give it a shot I suppose…” Logix said with a small sigh. Luna looked to the food and started getting small servings for herself. Logix raised a brow at this, “I know you eat more than that Luna.” “W-we are trying to keep our weight down.” She responded as she started to eat. “...Uhuh, I’ll try to go with that,” Logix laughed a bit before getting a bowl of spaghetti. Luna kept eating, not able to think of a single thing to say to Logix. “You look very nice tonight Luna,” Logix idly said, continuing to eat. “Thank you. Rarity made the dress.” “Did she now? Was she the one with the mane that looked like it had thousands of bits worth of hair products in it?” Logix said with a small grin. Luna nodded. “She is the seamstress of Ponyville.” “You ponies and your town names,” Logix shook his head slightly before looking at Luna, “So uh, what type of things are actually done on a date?” “We are not sure. This is our first date.” Luna was blushing again, staring at her food. “Well you’re not alone in that department… Wait, did they seriously think it was a good idea to try and get us both to date when neither of us have done it before?” Logix asked, a confused expression adorning his face. “Kiss her already!” Shallied yelled from one of the stained glass window before Yuri threw a orange at her head. “Shush!” Kat whispered to her. “Natural progression, you andouille.” Shallie yelped. “What does that even mean?” Luna curled up a little in embarrassment. “...Eh?” Logix said, turning to view the stained glass windows before turning back to Luna, “Ok, so, just going to pretend there wasn’t a voice coming from the windows…” Luna just shook her head. “No. This has been a waste of time.” Luna stood up and started to walk away. “Oh for the love of...,” Kat muttered before covering her hand in energy. She sent a surge of gravity into Luna, causing her to stumble and fall… right on to Logix. With the angle as such, when she landed on him, their lips met. Logix’s eyes widened in shock, falling backwards as Luna kissed him. Luna just laid on top of him in shock, not taking her lips away for what felt like the longest time. Then the door opened again. “Auntie Luna, I would like to-” Prince Blueblood froze, seeing the two kissing. Shallie started screeching. “Abort mission! Abort Mission!” “Repede! Attack!” Yuri barked. Repede barked loudly before the canine jumped through the window and charged towards Blueblood. The dog knocked the prince away from the door by tackling him. Shallie jumped in and slammed the door in Blueblood’s face. Luna shot up away Logix, panting a little. “Logix, you need to leave now!” Logix sat there stammering for a moment, “Uhh…” “Now! We can explain to our sister but you need to run!” “...But it’s Blueblood, he’s probably unconscious in the hall right now,” Logix said, raising a brow, still blushing a bit. “But the guards will see him!” Luna pointed out. “And we can’t drag him in here and cover him with a tablecloth?” Logix asked, walking to the door and cracking it open to see Blueblood was actually unconscious with Repede on top of him, wagging his tail. “...Good dog,” Logix murmured before dragging Blueblood into the room by the horn, left him in a corner covered with a tablecloth, and went back to the table where he coughed lightly, “So where did we leave off at?” “... We were eating.” Luna muttered, sitting down across from him with her face fully red. Shallie picked up Repede and snuck out. “Sorry about that.” “So uh, should we pretend the kiss didn’t happen?” Logix asked sheepishly, blushing a bit. Luna nodded quickly. “No you shouldn’t!” Kat called out, looking in from the glass. “Take it and use it to start a proper relationship, you clods! You!” points at Luna, “Start having more faith in yourself and your chances in life. And you!” points at Logix. “Start showing your emotions to a girl who has loved you for over a thousand years and literally went crazy because you were gone.” “I didn’t know that!” Logix said in response, glancing at Luna with a blush. Luna was covering her face with her hands, hiding her enormous blush. “Is that actually true Luna?” Logix asked, turning back to her. Luna took her hands away from her face, tears gather in her eyes as she nodded. “It is true. Your imprisonment is what drove us over the edge. We hated Celestia for not only taking all the attention of the ponies but also for taking away our chance at something more than friendship.” Logix stood up and walked over to Luna, standing in front of her a moment before embracing her, “I never knew that…” Luna froze for a moment before hugging him back, resting her head on his shoulder. Kat smirked at Shallie and Yuri. “Never doubt the master matchmaker.” Yuri was looking around. The male was totally not crying. Nope. He’s too cool for that. Shallie was just cheering before she stopped, slapping her forehead. “Dammit, I should have gotten some doves!” “So… I guess this means shippers don’t always ruin lives,” Logix said with a small laugh. Luna just smiled, her head still on his shoulder. “They don’t.” “Does this mean I can ship Bonbon and Lyra?” Shallied looked to Kat when she asked that. “That’s already canon Shallie, you forgot Rainbow Rocks,” Logix said, with a snort, letting go of Luna with a small smile. “Never watched it.” Shallie muttered. Luna stepped away from Logix. “N-now what do we do?” “No idea!” Logix declared sticking an arm in the air. “Kiss, you morons!” the three shouted at the new couple. Logix shrugged and looked at Luna with a smile, leaning forward slightly. Luna met him halfway and started kissing him passionately. Logix slowly wrapped his arms around her lower back. A low groan could be heard from the pile of unconscious unicorn in the corner that went by the name of Blueblood. Shallie ran over and kicked him again. “Shut up, romantic moment.” Luna wrapped her arms around Logix, closing her eyes. Kat sighed contently. “Match made,” she said with finality. She turned to the two beside her. “My work here is done. But don’t be afraid to hit me up some other time.” She started sinking into a portal beneath her. “Farewell~.” “See ya,” Yuri waved in Kat’s direction, still looking away. Shallie then threw Pepe at her. “Pepe’s my Token! Come by anytime you want me to make something!” “Oh mon Dieu,” Kat groaned as she disappeared. “Another satané mouth to feed!” Shallie giggled before looking back to Luna and Logix. “You two really should get a room.” Author's Note Kris: Yup, another Crossover so soon after the other one. Djskywalker is fun to do crossover’s with. Also, succesfull shipping! Lunar: Logix, a complete idiot about romance until he’s kissed apparently. ;p Cat: Yuri is totally not crying tears of joy. Nope. I don’t know where you get that idea from. (He is totally jealous - Kris) DJ: This was against my code for shippers, but as with most of my characters… I can’t tell them what to do. Kat: You can say that again! ;P. See ya in tabloids~! Pepe: Hello. Blonde Displaced. (Oi vey, another voice to deal with - Kat)
The First Day I REGRET NOTHING! Twilight walked through town, having had a very brief meeting with a very pink girl who just gasped loudly and ran away. “Sweeping~ Sweeping~ Sweep until trash vanishes~” Twilight stopped when she heard that horrendous singing, Spike trying to cover his ears, not liking it either. She looked toward the tone deaf girl singing and almost stumbled. She had light green hair, mostly covered by a weird yellow hat, green eyes, a long sleeved teal blouse, orange gloves, a bag, a large belt with various things on it, a ridiculously short blue plaid skirt, and red sneakers. Over all, she looked rather out of place. The girl looked up from her sweeping. “Ah! Hello new ponies!” She shortened the boom somehow and attacked it to the back of her belt before waving both arms at Twilight. “You’re speaking to the next super rich pony!” Twilight rolled her eyes, “Really. How are you going to do that?” “I’m going to keep sweeping and sell the stuff I make with Alchemy!” Twilight’s ears perked up at that, her fingers brushing the other book in her bag that she had brought with her, Alchemy Basics by Shallotte Elminus. It was an art that was recently created in the last decade, though it was a practice not many ponies did due to the danger of going to areas where monsters roamed for ingredient gathering. That, and the explosions that happened if you failed. “You practice alchemy?” “Yeah, I do it a lot when I’m not sweeping~” The girl started rocking on her heels. “Oh yeah, just call me Shallie~ You are?” Twilight fumbled a little before responding. “I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia’s personal student. I’m here to oversee the Summer Sun Celebration.” She stated proudly. “Really? Neat~ I bet with you here, this will be the most interesting day of the year~” Shallie giggled. “I probably shouldn't keep you though. You still have work to do.” “Oh, yes. It was nice meeting you, Shallie.” Twilight bowed a little before starting to walk away. “Anytime, friend~” Shallie called out to Twilight and Spike’s retreating back. She snickered when Twilight stumbled again. Shallie turned away and started sweeping. “Wow, it really has been a thousand years… Time sure flies. Maybe I should follow after and spy on them. Would be fun to see Logy again. Maybe he can help me with the Mayor’s jobs~” She snickered a little. “Maybe I should troll Twilight a little until Discord pops up.” One adventure later… Twilight sat up as the light started fading from where the Elements of Harmony were activated, her friends groaning near by. Where Nightmare Moon has previously been standing was now a significantly smaller pony of very similar colors. “Is everypony okay?” Twilight looked to her friends, something she now had pride in saying. Sounds of confirmation sounded out from the 5 mares around her, each slightly different, though Rarity seemed much more concerned with her hair being restored. Though that was about when the ponies noticed their new accessories. crick “Gee, Twilight. Ah’ thought you were just spoutin’ a lot of hooey but I reckon’ we really do represent tha’ Elements of Friendship.” “Indeed you do,” Twilight’s head spun to the window when she heard her mentors voice, the sun rising after the longest night and Celestia appearing in a bright flash of light. While her friends bowed, Twilight ran up to the ruler of Equestria and hugged her, “I knew you could do it, Twilight.” crack “B-but you told me it was just an old ponies tale.” “I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more.” Celestia gestured to the others, briefly noting a cracked statue. ‘Really, this was getting annoying, could they not hear me? I’ve been practically been screaming in my mind for the last few minutes since the stone started cracking, trying to get the attention of any of them,’ This was only faintly heard by ponies close to the statue. Something happened as the seven ponies looked to the other alicorn in the room, Celestia approaching the dark blue alicorn. “Luna, will you accept my friendship?” “Helllooooooo?! I’m almost sure one of you can hear me!” Pinkie stopped her crying and looked to the statue. It was a stallion with a rusted plaque at the base. It said, ‘Mage-Smith Logix’ “Ah! Yes you! Pink one! Could you possibly crack some of the stone on the statue? It would be greatly appreciated~” “Okie Dokie Loki~” Pinkie Pie then took out her party cannon. This was going to suck. “...Wait, is that a cannon?!” Celestia yelled out something but that was muffled by the party cannon getting fired, blowing the statue out of the castle. “OHGODOHGODOHGOD,” Could be heard by everyone there as the statue was blasted out of the castle, a figure being pushed out of the stone. Celestia tried to catch the figure but due to her recent imprisonment, wasn't strong enough. When the crashing stopped a groan of pain could be faintly heard “Whyyyy?” All the ponies looked out the window to see a white haired ‘stallion’ covered in cake and confetti. He stood up and started wiping cake off of his face, flinging it at the ground before picking up a gold and white sword, as well as a faintly glowing crystal which he examined slightly and slid it into a belt pouch before looking around “...Kinda dreary,” “Logix Fiscario!” Celestia yelled out the hole, glaring at him. He yelped and turned around, eyes widening when he saw Celestia before activating a warp gate, yelling words out behind him, “Whatever it was this time, it wasn’t my fault! It wasn’t last time either!” Celestia tried to follow but failed to get to the hole in time, “No!” Twilight ran to the hole with the rest of her friends and asked, “Who was that, Princess Celestia?” “...That was Logix, a criminal who tried to assassinate Luna under the pretense of a fireworks demonstration.” All six girls gasped. Nearby, Shallie pouted in the tree she was in. “Great, now I gotta go find him and drag him back.” She hopped out. “Sounds like fun~” Author's Note Kris: Was part of a one shot thing, bloomed into a full story. (Like I don’t have enough on my plate.) Cat’s character will appear next chapter. Lunar: This former one shot bloomed into a flower in it’s own right. Cat: Why am I the one who has nothing to say here? Lunar: Just because.*Cat pouts at this*
So, a Bunch of Alchemists Wander into an Eldritch Abomination's Shop…Shallie hummed as she leaned on her broom with Yuri covering his face to hide his snickers, staring at Logy hiding in a bush in the Canterlot Garden. “So… How’d you get stuck this time?” “Learning how to fly, the hell do you think?” Logix replied, snark obvious in his voice. “But you don’t even have a broom!” Shallie whined, walking over and pulling him out. Yuri just kept snickering, getting cut off when something landed on his head. Logix huffed and waved his sword, “Magical swords, but no, I got knocked out of the window by Luna on accident,” He said, pointing up at a rather high window. “Well, you should just stop trying to seduce her.” Shallie pointed out. “She’s still rather shaken after getting free.” “I’m not trying to seduce her! I just figured out that she liked me!” Logix snapped, crossing his arms with a huff. Yuri took the thing, now revealed to be a phone off of his head. he pressed the quick dial button and put it to his ear. “But isn’t that bestiality?” Shallie tilted her head, knowing full well the anthroness of the ponies. “Guys, I might-” Yuri said, holding up a finger. “I don’t even- You know what, no, you’re not pulling this crap on me, I just got out of a rusting statue and I have a headache from falling, don’t start!” Logix said, rubbing his temples. “Guys, please stop arguing-” “I have headaches everyday, man. Plus, I got trapped in a ruin for a couple years hunting for one item from a monster. “GUYS!” Yuri snapped. “WHAT?!” Logy and Shallie snapped, looking over at Yuri with an exasperated expression. “I might have accidentally contacted an alien or universe traveler,” Yuri held up the phone. “...What.” Shallie squeaked. “Yuri… Who let you near the brownies again?” Logy asked slowly, giving him an odd look before noticing the phone, “...Is that an Iphone?” Yuri gave a small glare to Logy before nodding. “Sooooo, we might be getting company soon?” Shallie asked. A quiet noise filtered into the garden through the phone. Vwaaaaaaaaaaa... All three of the displaced looked to the phone, Yuri slowly putting it on the ground and backing away. The noise repeated, slightly louder, this time coming from seemingly nowhere. Vwaaaaaaaaaaaa “...Is that a vuvuzela?” Logix asked with a grimace. Shallie and Yuri started covering their ears. “Noooo, not the sound! I hate the sound!” Shallie was flipping out a little. One final burst of sound, this time accompanied by blaring dubstep, laser lights, a fog cloud, confetti, MLG airhorns, and one bishonen human, wearing an ensemble of leather and spikes. VWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Yuri kept backing up, while Shallie took out her broom, “MUST STOP NOISE!” She swung her broom at the human. Logix slid a crystal into his odd glove and took aim at the man, “Stop the vuvuzelas! Or I fire!” The sound continued, the human standing atop the phone doing nothing but grinning an infuriating grin and bowing a mocking bow. Somehow, his mocking reply was heard even above the ruckus. “Try me.” “...Screw the crystal,” Logix muttered, sliding out a glowing purple knife with an alchemical symbol on it which he stabbed into the ground and formed… a mud pie with it? He picked it up and threw it at the man. Shallie just kept hitting the guy, Yuri rubbed his head before starting to walk back. Aaron rolled his eyes and deflected everything in a quiet explosion of shadows, reverting back to his natural form in a split second. “Alright, alright, I’ll stop.” “Well, I was about to ask.” Yuri looked a little dejected. Shallie gave a deep sigh, uncovering her ears. Aaron shrugged, “Alright, introductions. I’m Aaron Heibai, extradimensional shopkeeper and probably the most powerful being that you’ll ever meet. You have summoned me via my sweet-ass smartphone. Would you like to browse my wares?” “Question, are you human?” Logix asked, warily watching Aaron. A raised…. uh… eyebrow? was the only reply, the shadow-being’s face glowing brighter in response. “Ok, better question, were you a human?” Logix asked, rolling his eyes. “Eh… sorta. I was a human… then a shadow… then a Void Dweller… then a being of near omnipotence… now I’m back to being a Void Dweller. So, yes, actually.” “In that case sure! I’ll take a look at your shop, just the last time someone offered something like this it was a demon who didn’t know what a human was,” Logix grumbled, moving over to Aaron. “We beat him up though.” Shallie grinned, Yuri putting a hand on her head. “Wonderful! You probably won’t regret this!” Aaron cheerfully pulled open a door that simply hadn’t been there a second ago, ushering Logix inside. “If I find anything related to tentacles I’m turning around instantly,” Logix said to Aaron as he entered. “You just jinxed us, you know that.” Yuri pointed out, walking in with Shallie skipping behind him. “If I find a book on summoning things I’ll buy it for Luna or something,” Logix snorted, ignoring what Yuri said. Aaron paused and floated up into the air. “Uh… there’s, well, there might be a small problem concerning tentacles… Well, if you stay out of the Adult Section, you should be fine, but be wary when opening pre-made summoning scrolls… some of them are… volatile.” Yuri grabbed Shallie before she get away. “No adult stuff for you.” “But I’m over a thousand years old!” “I don’t care.” Yuri started dragging her along with him. Logix merely chuckled and moved off into the shop, picking up an occasional book to skim through. Shallie was crying as she was dragged. “But I want the stuff!” Aaron chuckled and took up a watchful spot at the front desk, idly skimming through a magazine. Shallie ran right up, carrying quite a few bottles of different items and a couple brooms. Yuri followed Shallie, carrying a bag of gels and an unusual red-purple sword with a hollow center. Logix moved towards the front with a small cut on his cheekbone, holding 3 spellbooks, a odd black staff, and… A Galatine from Warframe. Aaron looked up, stacks of magazines and other literature engulfing the front desk in an incredibly intricate and well made castle. “So, I see all of us have been busy.” Logix groaned, “I opened one of these books to find a summoning rite that’s activated by any magic. I got a cut in response. This is Luna’s.” He said, holding out the book that had a lock on it. “I got all the rare alchemy items and some new brooms.” She dumped all the items. “Oh, and a new hat.” She pulled out a black velvet newsboy cap. “I got some gels for healing and this sweet sword,” Yuri hummed, gesturing to his sword. “I would get some clothes but I have this strange ability to change in random costumes whenever I want. It’s weird but I love it.” “The other two are books on ancient alchemy so I can learn how to do use alchemy without a sword, the staff feels like it had darkness in it, so I like it, and the sword is the Galatine from Warframe, best game in my opinion,” Logix said, laying his items on the table. “Interesting choices. Will that be all?” “I think so.” Shallie muttered, scratching her head under her hat. “I guess,” Yuri replied. “Indeed,” Logix nodded. Aaron smiled and dispelled his magazine-castle, motioning them over to the cash register. “So, what kind of currency do you take, or will you take jobs in exchange because I’m a master alchemist.” Shallie spoke up. Logix simply dumped a bag of alchemic knives and armor on the table, “Here’s my payment,” Aaron swept half the pile under the table and held out a receipt. “Thank you for your time, here’s your receipt.” Shallie took the receipt and handed it to Logix. “Thanks.” “No problem.” Aaron leaned back in his chair and smiled indulgently. Logix smiled and nodded, “Keep the rest, I have way too many,” Shallie had one question. “So, what’s with the phone?” Aaron paused and stuck a finger up in a lecture pose. “Well, the thing is…. are any of you familiar with the Multiverse at this point?” “I know the multiversal theory from earth but that’s it,” Logix said with a shrug. “Yeah, I RPed with Yuri all the time about it on Earth.” Shallie rubbed her head. “What she said,” Yuri pointed a finger to Shallie. “Never knew these people before I got sent here,” Logix said, shrugging again. Aaron dropped his head, literally, into his hands and sighed, tossing his head back and forth as he spoke. “Okay, well the Multiverse is this great big thing with a bunch of smaller things, Universes, inside it. That’s about all you need to know about the whole of it. As pertaining to my sweet-ass phone, there are people known as Displaced, humans that bought something or another from some douchebag Merchant and got sent, usually, to Equestria. Usually as something pertaining to the item they bought. They have Tokens, objects that can be used to summon said Displaced whenever necessary. Mine is a special case, since I only really give it out to people on a case by case basis, whereas most Displaced have it just spread to all corners of the Multiverse. Point is, you can call me with the phone and I’ll be there pretty much within the next five seconds. Probably.” “So there might be other versions of us out there?” Shallie asked. “Can we make these token things as well?” Logix asked, idly rubbing a small plate of metal shaped like a shield on a belt pouch. Aaron nodded, “Yeah, sure, whaddaya want to make?” His head was now bobbing around, his body was nowhere to be found. Shallie looked up. “...Oh my god, you’re the headless merchant!” She cried out before Yuri lightly hit her in the head. “.... Bodiless. I’m the bodiless merchant at this point.” Aaron deadpanned, smacking Shallie upside the head with his six foot long braid. “Uhhhh…” Logix said with a confused expression. Shallie gave a small whine before grabbing one of her new brooms. “Sorry, my mind’s weird when thinking.” “Isn’t your mind always weird?” Yuri asked. “Noooooo!” Shallie huffed. “Sometimes I think about normal stuff too!” “No. No you don’t Shallie,” Logix snorted. “You’re both mean!” She started hitting them both on the head with her broom. “Why’d I give you two immortality again?” “Hell if I know! You did it to me in my sleep! Besides the fact that you’re really not a good candidate for knowing how to give someone immortality,” Logix groaned. “I made my girlfriend immortal in her sleep.” Aaron mumbled, stacking his head atop Logix’s and clamping on with finger-like spiderlegs. “...Please get off, you remind me of a Half-Life 2 headcrab,” Logix shivered. “Mwehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.” Aaron smirked and wrapped his braid around Logix’s neck like a scarf, using it as a leverage point to extend upwards and grow a new body from his neck stump, arms growing out first and then the rest of his body growing out laterally until he was perched in a perfect handstand on Logix’s head. “NO! NO! NO! NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!” Logix flailed, throwing Aaron off of his head, into the nearby bush. “Am I the only slightly normal one here?” Yuri groaned, watching this. “Nope~ You might be insane in the head too.” Shallie hummed. Aaron’s head popped out of Logix’s shirt collar, wearing a purple top hat with an ace of spades stuck in the hatband. “We’re all mad here,” Aaron giggled, slipping out of Logix’s shirt like a snake and curling down onto the floor and slithering to a stand. “I’m sane but if this insanity keeps up I’ll lose my sanity!” Logix said, throwing his arms up into the air before walking off for a few minutes before running back out and towards the area the others with an extremely pale and somewhat disturbed visage, “Never again…” “And this is why I never recommend wandering around without a clear goal in mind~” Aaron sing-songed creepily, his double toned, echoing voice giving him an air of total fucking holy shit. “Why is the adult section on the first floor?” Logix asked, weakly. “Because life hates you?” Yuri suggested with a snigger. “That or it’s telling you to ask Luna on a date already.” . Logix looked to Yuri with a confused expression, “Why would I do that?” Aaron sniggered and called from the five trillionth floor up, “SHE WANTS THE D~!” Shallie joined in. “She doooooooo~!” Yuri just pointed to Aaron and Shallie. “What they said. Plus, whenever I talk to her, it’s always about you.” “Eh?” Logix said, tilting his head, somehow already having forgotten what Luna had said to him. “....” Aaron reappeared behind Logix and dumped a vial of pink liquid on him. “There. If that doesn’t make her jump his bone, I dunno what will.” “OH GOD THE HELL IS THIS?!” Logix shouted quickly trying to get the liquid off of his body. It did not work. At all. “What did you do?” Yuri lazily asked. “Weeeeellllll…. I dumped a specialized form of aphrodisiac/pheromone/perfume on him that’ll make Luna go absolutely fucking wild for his D. I also dumped a vial of a similar liquid on Luna, whiiiich has the similar effect of making Logix go absolutely fucking wild for her V.” Aaron smirked, “I am the master of dumping aphrodisiacs on people.” Shallie had a simple question. “Isn’t that rape?” “I HAVE TO BURN MY FAVORITE SET OF CLOTHES NOW! AND SIT IN A SCALDING SHOWER FOR HOURS! YOU TERRIBLE TERRIBLE PERSON!” Logix shouted, flailing his arms a bit. “Mnyeh~!” Aaron stuck out his eldritch tongue, tendrils flailing and squirming as the hit open air. Logix jumped back, accidentally slamming his back into the wall next to the door with a slightly less disturbed look on his face than before. Shallie and Yuri backed away from Aaron with a NOPE look on their faces. “Um, can we get back on topic before this ends in…. all sorts of nope?” Yuri asked. The tongue that may or may not have literally been from hell flailed around a little more before retracting into Aaron’s mouth as he grinned a mostly normal grin. “Sure.” Shallie took out a broom. “I want this to be my Token!” Logix was fumbling with a small bag that was tied shut before he pulled it open and dumped what looked like a few small chunks of gold tumbled, “Would you please get rid of that stuff that you put on me and Luna? Please?” he sounded a bit desperate as he asked this. “Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-” As Aaron had no need to breathe, he droned his single word on for the next five minutes, never once changing expression as he droned on and on. “-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine." “Do you have a giant pot? I want to go make my Token real quick!” Shallie asked. “Yeah yeah, it’s to the left.” Aaron stretched his arm around a corner and pointed out a large cauldron, simultaneously snapping his other hand and removing the pink liquid from Logix. Shallie ran over and started throwing in items, starting to stir it up. Yuri took off his golden bracelet. “Can my blastia be my Token?” Logix sighed, “Thank you Aaron,” “You’re welcome, Logix. And yes, Yuri.” “How do I do it again?” Yuri asked. “Think of a phrase, strangely named one.” “... Can I do it later?” Yuri asked, looking a bit put off. There was an explosion from the area Shallie was in. “It worked!” She walked away holding something fluffy and adorable and holding a dagger. “I made my Token~” “....That has got to be the fluffiest Token.” Aaron mused, grabbing it with two hands and ripping it violently into the original and a copy. Another pair of hands threw the original Token into a portal to the Void as another pair tossed the copy into a portal to Jupiter. Shallie and Yuri looked horrified and slightly traumatized. Logix shrugged, “Eh.” “So….. why?” Shallie asked in a tiny voice. It was that moment when one of them fell out of a ripple in the air onto Logix’s head, “...Too fluffy,” he said, throwing the token at Shallie. From high, high above, Jupiter squealed in joy, her voice audible even from where she sat on the five quintillionth, eight hundred millionth floor, “IT’S SO FLUFFY I’M GONNA DIE!” Shallie started hugging the homunculi close. “So fluffy~” She hummed. “Your name’s Pepe~” “Alright, what about the rest of you two fluff heads?” Aaron asked, tossing around a severed Hitler skull. “I’ll wait until I can think of something to say…” Yuri muttered. “Uh, I guess so,” Logix said, pulling the small shield shaped piece of metal off of his bag and held it out, focusing whatever energy he could into it, and stopped for a bit, “Wait, do we say something as well?” “If’n ya want.” Aaron waved a hand, opening another portal to the Void. Logix nodded and looked back to his piece of metal and spoke up, “I am Logix Fiscario, Alchemical Blacksmith, call upon me when you need to be armed for things to come,” he finished and tossed the piece of metal into the portal Aaron opened. “Now what?” Shallie asked, Yuri still looking at his future Token. “Get dress-boy to hurry the fuck up with his Token. Fucking twat I don’t have all day y’know.” “Yes you do.” Some female called up from above. “GET BACK TO WORK, YOU PART TIME BITCH OF A SLAVE,” Aaron shouted, waving his fists and generally just flailing around in an incomprehensible eldritch manner. “Only if you give cookies or a raise!” the voice called back. “I ALREADY PAY YOU SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS AN HOUR YOU FUCKING MERCENARY. WHAT MORE DO YOU FUCKING WANT!?” “Cookies.” “FUCKING FINE. DROWN IN THEM, THEN.” And lo, the seventeenth floor exploded in a wave of various types of cookies. “That voice sounds familiar…” Shallie muttered. Yuri sweatdropped. “That sounded like Shallie.” “Cookies~!” Logix sweatdropped as well, “Please don’t let there be another Shallie!” Aaron added another sweatdrop to the chain, “Uh… well… y’see…. hehe...” “Oh goddammit it is isn’t it!” Logix said, frantically looking for the exit. “Should we leave before we cause a time paradox?” Yuri asked, looking around worriedly. “Meh. Wouldn’t be the first time there was a time paradox in here.” Aaron muttered, buffing his nails on his shirt. Yuri grabbed Shallie by the arm. “We’re leaving.” He started dragging her away. Logix warily grabbed the items he bought and followed them away. “Alright then~ Oh, but before I forget…..” Aaron trailed off, grabbing Yuri’s blastia and throwing it in the portal as they left. “Oh, and one more thing….” With all the speed of a professionally thrown fastball, Aaron flung a black diamond directly into the back of Logix’s head, one with a note taped on it. The force of impact somehow carried the three of them from his shop and back to where they were before, doors closing and disappearing behind them. “Byyyyyeeee~” “MOTHERFUCK!” Logix yelled, grabbing the back of his head, glaring behind him. Shallie picked up the token. “Ooooh, shiny!” “I am the protector of the innocent, warrior of the weak, call upon me for assistance and I shall come. Call for the Gravity Shifter and I will make those who harm others beg for mercy as they are crushed at my feet. Hold this gem close to thine heart and I shall be at your side as a fellow warrior!” She quickly put it in her bag and ran away from both the boys, snickering loudly. Shallie had an evil idea. Yuri put an arm on Logy’s shoulder. “You should run, by the way.” Logix shivered and nodded a bit before sprinting off into the garden, and could be seen actually vaulting over the edge of the wall, leaving the castle without being noticed by guards. Yuri shook his head before walking toward the castle. Author's Note Kris: Told you I’d make it better! Lunar: Poor poor Logix, he doesn’t know what’s coming for him. Jsyrin: Aaron is the master of trolling people with weird antics. Muahaha. (aphrodisiacs as well apparently -Lunar) Cat: Why is Yuri the slightly sane one? (Because he doesn’t hang around near Ponyville - Kris)
