The Renegades of Equestria

(Castle of the Royal Sisters)

“Okay…...so what’s our new plan now?” Asked Dusty, who was sitting on the roof of the car.

“I got nothing at this point. To be honest I was just winging it until we could get back home, but seeing how we can’t get home we might as well find a place to call out home.” Said Kat as she started the engine of her car. “What I don’t get is how can my car still work when it’s already out of gas?”

“It could be because of the magic around us?” Answered Kumatora while looking around for some items. “I mean this is Equestria after all. This land is full of magic.”

“Good point. So Daidouji any places that might be a good place for us to stay or hide in?”

“Well there is the mirror in the Crystal Empire that will take us to their version of the human world, but that might be hard to get there seeing how we’re being hunted.”

“Hm, we could go there in case the heat goes up on us, but let’s level up a bit before we go there. Lord knows we don’t want to get our asses handed to us by someone stronger than us.”

“That’s by far the smartest thing you said sis, and you’re the one that go in head first without thinking.”

“Shut up Dusty or else I’ll throw you out the window.”

“You did that before and it failed.”

“..........”

“I’ll just go and have a look around.”

“Yeah you should.”

Just as Dusty was about to walk off into the abandoned castle he felt a sharp pain going through him. “Uh oh.”

“What’s up with you?”

“I think that candy I ate in town was bad.”

“When did you eat?”

“During you fight with those technicolor ponies.” Dusty answered as he kneeled. “Oh god I think I’m gonna-.” Before he could finished his sentence, Dusty started to gag for a few seconds before throwing up that so called candy he at.

“You see. This is what happens when you eat stuff from off the ground.” Kumatora said as she walked over towards Dusty. “You should be lucky that you were able to hack out whatever that thing was-.” Kumatora eyed the piece of candy only it turn out to be unknown item. “That’s not a piece of candy you ate Dusty. That was an unknown item.”

“Well it smelled candy to me.”

“Maybe you being a cosmic looking cat is making you act like one?” Said Kat as she levitated the item towards herself. “And it’s not an unknown items Kuma. It’s a diamond…..HOLY CRAP WE JUST FOUND A DIAMOND!”

“No fucking way!’ Said Daidouji as her, Kumatora, and Dusty looked at the diamond with sparkles in their eyes. “Do you know what this mean guys?”

“We’re fucking filthy rich baby!” Yelled Kat as she does a little victory dance along with Kumatora. “If We can find a vendor or something that’s willing to accept this, then we’ll be set for life!”

“And who would buy that?” Asked Dusty.

“Who wouldn’t buy this from us!?” She said as she bit into the diamond just to sure it was real. “Yep it’s real alright.” Just then the diamond started to glow as a black and red portal appeared next Daidouji. “.......Oh we are so gonna be rich seeing how this is a magical diamond.”

From out of the portal, a golden furred pony walked through wearing a black leather jacket. Her light blonde mane was tied back in a ponytail and her deep red eyes beamed happily at the three humans and one cat. On her flank was an image of a galaxy spiraling. She regarded them all with a calm smile. “Hello there. A pleasure to meet you.”

“......Kat.”

“Yes Dusty?”

“I don’t think we should sell the diamond.”

“I can see why, we pretty much can use this diamond to summon random ponies.” Kat looked at the golden pony. “Care to explain who you are pony? Wait are you here to try and capture like the Element of Harmony tried to do?”

To their surprise, the mare giggled. “Ah, I see you’ve already been causing trouble. You youngsters, always getting into trouble.”

“We didn’t mean to cause trouble. One minute we were driving home from and a gaming expo, then the next thing we know we’re wanted criminals for running over Prince Blueblood by accident.” Said Dusty.

“Well that and beating the crap out of the Elements of Harmony as well.” Said Daidouji.

The mare gave them a deadpan look. “You all really are troublemakers, aren’t you? Now, why don’t you introduce yourselves? I’d like to see what I’m working with here.”

“*Ahem* Team Introduction.” Said Kat as they all started to get into formation.

“Kumatora, Princess of PSI.”

“Daidouji, Master of the Ninja arts.”

“Kat Graviton, Master of Gravity.”

“Dusty, I’m pretty much the cat that gives them advices, tips, and sometimes keep them out of trouble.”

“And together we are THE RENEGADES!!!” Yelled Kat as she fired a firework into the air. “Needs work I know, but I’m working on the grand introduction of ourselves.”

The mare slowly blinked, eyeing Kat and Dusty. After a silent moment, she recomposed herself. “Sorry, sorry, you two are just… familiar. But you may want to change that title.”

“Normally we would, but after seeing this in the newspaper today.” Kumatora handed the pony the newspaper. “This is pretty much how Celestia sees us.”

She looks over the newspaper for a moment. “Well, you all have made such an impact. The Renegades actually works. I kinda like it. I was more referring to Miss Graviton, as there already is a Gravity Master.”

“Wait there’s already another gravity shifter? Who is he or she?” Asked Kat.

“The Gravity Master is Raven Masters. She is another Displaced like you. You are actually the fifth gravity shifter to come into existence,” the mare replied.

“Fifth? Who are the other four?” Asked Daidouji.

“There have been two Raven Masters, Crystal Gravity, and… Kat Shifter.”

“Really now? So there are other people like us being sent to worlds filled with magical talking ponies?”

“Hundreds,” the mare replied. “They live in alternative universes to this one. Most of the time, they get into trouble with the natives, but eventually they become friends.”

“I doubt will be friends with most of the natives here. Plus I prefer not to sent to jail by a group of ponies.” Kat replied as she looked out the window to make sure no one was following her and her friends.

“Oh believe me, jail time is what many Displaced would have prefered. A lot of them were trapped away for thousands of years.”

“I’m afraid to ask, but how did they get trapped?”

“A majority were sealed in stone, forgotten and regarded as mere myths. Others were simply imprisoned and left to rot, only to discover that they could not due to having become immortal. Some were just simply banished.”

“Geez do all ponies do that in most universes?” Asked Dusty.

“Displaced usually tend to leave big marks.” She regards the newspaper. “You four might just be on your way to joining the statuary garden by the looks of it.”

“She’s right. Says here in the book Spike gave us from Ponyville is that the Elements of Harmony can turn evil creatures or beings into stone.” Kumatora said as she show them what she means.

“Hm, hey um golden pony. How long does it take for those little amulets to charge up and hit us?” Asked Daidouji.

“You have about ten seconds at best,” the pony answered. “Then… well you’re going to taste the rainbow in a way no person wants to.”

“Huh. Well it a good thing I took two of their amulets then huh?” Daidouji reached into her pocket and pulled out the elements of honesty and laughter.

“......Daidouji. Why the hell would you do something like that?” Asked Kumatora.

“Normally I wouldn’t take something like this, but seeing how Applejack wanted to boast about how she’s the strongest pony in Ponyville. I pretty much took it and said she can have it back once she can beat me in a fight.”

The mare started to giggle. “Oh, sweetie, they don’t need the jewels to stone you away. Those ponies are the Elements of Harmony. As long as they have their friendship, they can still seal you away. Trust me, I’ve seen it in action many times before.”

“Great. Looks like we have to book it towards the mirror world in the Crystal Empire then huh?”

“Would you like some assistance?” the pony asked. “I make it my job to help those in need.”

“Oh sweetie, with me around, you wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. I’m much stronger than I look.”

“Dusty, check her out please.”

“Let’s see…….Level unknown, but she is stronger than you all combined.”

“......Not to sound ungrateful or anything, but we prefer to work our way up instead of the lazy way out. But seeing how you’re willing to help you wouldn’t now of a place where we could stock up on some supplies would you?” Asked Kat.

“Well, there’s the Ponyville marketplace, Sweet Apple Acres, the Everfree forest is abundant with herbs and fruits as well as some good hunting if you know what you’re doing,” she listed off.

“Okay then we’ll search for some food and herbs in the forest later, but for now I have a few questions I wanna ask you goldy.”

“I’d be glad to answer them,” the mare said with a smile.

“You said I was the fifth gravity shifter right? So what happen to the other four?”

“The two Ravens were combined and watch over her own Equestria. Crystal Gravity was killed by the combined efforts of Raven and Kat Shifter. As for the latter, she travels the Void helping wherever she is needed.”

“Okay next question, can gravity shifters use magic?”

“From what I’ve seen, their gravity powers take the place of natural flowing magic. Pretty much making those abilities impossible for them.”

“Dammit! Okay last question if by chance the elements try to hit with that attack that turns us to stone. Wouldn’t it be easy just to deflect the attack with a mirror or mirror like magic or ability?”

“There is no known power that can deflect the Elements of Harmony except an identical set,” the mare answered with certainty.

“Hm…..I’ll think of something if they use it, but other than that I have one more question. What is your name?”

“Oh, that’s an easy one I’m….” The mare hesitated for a moment, seemingly stopping to think. She slowly smiled and looked at Kat with a glint in her eye. “I’m the Guardian.”

“Highlander much?” Said Dusty.

“I’m not a highlander. I’m a Time Lady.”

“Don’t you mean time mare seeing how you’re a pony and all?”

“That doesn’t mean I’m not a lady,” she said with a little flair and a small flip of her hair.

“Well at least you don’t have giant knockers like Daidouji over there.” Daidouji threw a rock at Dusty only to phase through him. “I’m a NPC Daidouji remember? Stuff like that is not gonna hurt me.”

“She’s still not better than me.” Said Kat.

“Who’s not better than you, Miss Graviton?” Guardian asked.

“Sis is angry because she’s flat chested.” Kat grabbed Dusty by the tail and threw him into an empty room. “You jerk!”

Guardian couldn’t help, but giggle. “Oh, that means Kat is already better. A bigger bust just gets in the way when fighting.”

“I guess.” Looks at Daidouji quickly before turn her attention towards Guardian with a blush on her face. “So anything you wanna know about us Guardian?”

“Well, as you are aware, I’m familiar with Kat and Dusty, but you two I am completely unfamiliar with.”

“Oh right, well Kumatora is from the gameboy advance game called Mother 3 or Earthbound 2 the game. And Daidouji if from Senran Kagura 2 for the ps vita.”

“Ah, well then… how shall we proceed? I do have other things to do today.”

“Hm, I guess you could help us by-.”

“Hey idiots come in here I found something that you might find interesting!” Yelled Dusty from the other room he was thrown into.

“It better be something that is useful?” Said Kat as she and her friends walk into the other room where Dusty was in. Inside the room for what they could see was a white metal pony with light pink & light lavender mane covered in moss, roots, and dirt. “The hell is that?”

“It looks to be some sort of automaton,” Guardian said, getting closer and examining it. “Remarkable. Despite its age, this would make Earth-based robots obsolete by at least fifty years.”

“You think it’s still alive?” She asked as she start to poke it.

“If you could find a power source on it, I would suppose it’s possible. Perhaps an electrical shock or maybe an energy influx.”

“Kumatora do you have anything that can juice this robot back to life?”

“Hm…...I’ll need a glass orb, a mini black hole, and the electric shock.” Kumatora hands started to spark. “I’ll handle with that.”

Guardian handed her a glass ball. “Will this work?”

“Yep that will do. Okay now Kat if you may?” Kat snapped her finger and a mini black hole appeared inside. “Good, now to add my PK thunder and…….done. Behold the first ever hand made energy influx Kumatora style.” Kumatora handed the orb to Kat for her to put it inside the robot. Kat inserted the orb as sparks started surge from out of the robot.

“Let’s hope this works.” Said Kat as the sparks started to die down after a few second. At first nothing happen, but then the robot’s eyes open up and aimed its attention towards the gravity shifter. “Um…..why is it staring at me?”

“Hmm… if I were to guess, it may have just imprinted on you.”

“Imprinted on me? What the hell do you mean by that?”

“It’s the same thing a baby bird does with the first thing it sees. It’s ‘programmed’ to believe that being to be its mother.”

“So you’re telling me that it will think of me as its mother?”

“HA! Kat a mother? If you couldn’t pass that stupid flour baby project in high school, what makes you think she can be a mother?” Said Dusty.

“Anyone can be a parent if they are willing to be one. The only kind of people that shouldn’t be parents are ones that cannot love anything other than themselves,” Guardian said with a touch of malice in her voice.

“A...Are you m...my creator?” The robot asked.

“Um…..ah fuck it. Yes I am your…..creator. Mind telling me your name?”

“Sweetie Bot. At least that’s what I think my name is unless you want me to change it?”

“N-no, no that a good name for you.”

Guardian looked over Sweetie Bot with a strange, green glowing device. It emitted a loud sound as it scanned the robot. “Well, I don’t detect any hostilities within her programming. It seems to simply be a robotic filly. How very odd.”

“I find it kinda odd really. So far as long as we been here this world doesn’t have any kind of technology that we know of, so why would a robot like her be here in an abandoned castle?” Said Kumatora.

“Perhaps Luna was trying something, or maybe Celestia. Some universes do portray them as wishing for children.”

“Maybe, but then again this world is weird so I got nothing.”

“Well, she should be a fully working and thinking creation. Just like any other filly. Congratulations, Kat Graviton.”

“Wow already into motherhood huh Kat. I wonder who’s the father going to be?”

“Hahahaha, fuck you Kumatora.”

“Enemy hostile detected in the castle.” Said Sweetie Bot in a robotic tone. “Activating protocol protect mother.” She said as her hands changed into plasma arm cannons aimed at the doorway.

“Well then… looks like I didn’t scan well enough. Fascinating.”

“W-Wait don’t shoot! I’m only messenger that’s all!” Said the changeling holding his hand up into the air. “I was sent here by my queen Chrysalis to ask you creatures to come and meet her outside near the other side of the forest.”

“Oh! A royal invitation!” Guardian beamed. “We can’t go missing something so important, now can we? Allons-y everybody, allons-y!”

“.....This pony is weird.” Said Kat as she follow Guardian along with her friends.

(Outside of the Everfree Forest)

“Ah you must be the creatures that I heard about in the newspaper the other night I take it?” Chrysalis asked. “But I don’t remember there being two more ponies with you.”

“Oh, I’m only here visiting,” Guardian answered. “The other is a new ‘addition’. Nice to meet the great Queen Chrysalis. You aren’t evil here are you? I’ve had enough of those.”

“I’m not evil nor would I ever be. The only evil beings here are the ponies that work for King Sombra. I’m only here to see if these creatures called the renegades would be willing to come serve me in the changeling empire? Or at least be willing to be hired  by me?”

Guardian looked to the humans and cat. “Well? Answer the queen, would ya? It’s rude to just stand there.”

“Might as well join here seeing how she’s willing to accept us and all, but before we do that we need to make a little stop in the mirror world that’s located in the Crystal Empire.” Said Kat.

“Why do you need to stop there?”

“Our car needs some repairs and this world from the looks of it doesn’t have the parts we need. So we need to get to the human world of this Equestria and get the stuff needed, once that’s over and done with we will be able to come and join your empire.”

“Interesting. So that’s the name of your silver chariot?”

“Yes, but I prefer to call it the awesome mobile.”

“Every well then. I will a wait for you four in neighpon for the time being.” Chrysalis open a green and black color portal. “Till then try not to get yourselves capture by sunbutt and moonpie.” She said as she and her servant walked through the portal.

“Well…….That was something.” Said Daidouji.

“That’s new. I never saw a changeling being able to use portals. I’m starting to like this world!” Guardian said giddily.

“Are you always so happy to see new things Guardian?”

“I am a physicist, after all. I have my Ph D. and everything.”

“Well that explains a lot….wait a Ph D. in what-.”

“WE HAVE FOUND YOU CRIMINALS WHO CALLS THEMSELVES THE RENEGADES!!!” Yelled Luna as she and her guards appeared from out of the blue.

“Geez ever heard of lowering your voice?” Asked Kumatora removing her hands from her ears along with her friends.

“We are not here to make idol chit-chat creature, we are here to arrest you for your crimes against Equestria.”

“Luna, can this wait? We were right in the middle of a conversation,” Guardian chastised.

“We do not take order from criminal scum like you mutant pony. You will come with us at once and face your punishment.” Luna said as she and her bat ponies pointed their sword at Guardian and the renegades.

Guardian was silent, regarding Luna with a blank look. “Mutant, I can understand. I do look different from you. But criminal? That’s. Just. Rude. Now then, Luna, sweetie, are you gonna apologize or am I gonna have to do something drastic?”

“We do not fear you criminal. You’re just an earth pony with no magic, while I am an alicorn with years of magic on her side. There’s nothing you can do to out match me little mutant pony.”

“I am no mere pony, Princess,” she spat. “I am the hero to many, the brightest light in a sea of darkness, the oncoming storm to any who dare harm others. But you may simply call me….” Guardian’s entire body started to emanate power. Her mane started to move in an invisible wind as the earth beneath them all began to shake. Cracks began to appear in the ground as rocks disintegrated around the pony. “Gravity Incarnate!” Her body lit up in red and white energy, making her look like a flaming alicorn.

“Danger! Danger! Power levels are rising to dangerous levels of destruction! Recommend a protective force field!” Said Sweetie Bot as she launched an orb above them as an energy like dome surrounded them.

“Something tells me we’re so gonna be on the top list of the most wanted.” Said Kat hold onto Sweetie Bot.

“I’m actually interested in seeing how this turns out really.” Said Kumatora munching on a burger.

“Yeah if we live long enough to see how this turns out.” Said Daidouji.

“Focus ladies we have a fight going on here.” Said Dusty trying to get his friends to focus on what’s happening.

“Do not force my hoof, Luna!” Guardian shouted back at the stunned group. “I am not someone you could ever hope to defeat. Now back down!”

“We are the knights of the moon! We will not back down from someone like you! Colts take her down along with the rest of them!” She ordered as the bat ponies charged at Guardian. The mare never even moved as every last soldier fell to the ground, screaming in pain as their bodies were pushed against the very surface of the planet.

Luna was the only one left standing in disbelief.

“DAMN!” Said the three humans and cosmic cat who were also in disbelief at what Guardian just did.

“Data acquired, storing into memory database for possible use for mother to learn from.” Sweetie Bot said as her eyes changed from blue back to green.

“This is what happens when you do not listen to your superiors, Luna!” Guardian declared. “I am no one you should mess with!”

“Who in the name of tartarus are you!? No mere earth pony can use magic like that!”

“T’was no magic that defeated your pitiful guards, only the greatest energy in existence. I am gravity incarnate, the first gravity shifter! I am Kat Shifter, the Guardian to all Displaced!”

“I don’t care if you are the guardian of freaks!” Luna drew her sword up and started to charge at Guardian. “You will fall by my blade scum!”

The fiery alicorn simply nodded her head and Luna was slammed into the ground. Guardian walked right up to Luna and whispered into her ear, “I have destroyed you time and time again on different worlds. Do not test my patience, Lulu.”

[Exiting Combat Mode]

“C-Coward. Using your cheap tricks to win a fight. Where is your honor as a fighter!?”

“There is no honor in fighting a weakling,” Guardian shot back.

“Oh you better call fire department Luna. Because you just got burned!” Said Kumatora.

“You are nowhere near my level, princess, so I suggest you take your troops and retreat before I add even more blood to my stained hooves. I would rather not do that, but I will if I must.”

“.......Fine we will leave, but remember this fools. We will hunt you down and bring them to justice, and after what you did to us. They will receive the death treatment by me.”

Guardian’s presence grew dark to all, making the entire area as cold as winter. “And if you do, I will hunt you down, drag you to the moon, and make you watch as I crush this planet and extinguish every living breath upon it, including your sister. Do I make myself CLEAR?!” Her last word was so loud and powerful, Luna and all her troops were blasted back several feet.

“.......Clear.” Luna answered as she pulled herself up from the ground. “Colts! Gather your comrades and fly them back to Canterlot Hospital to treat for their injuries!” She then turned her attention towards the Guardian and her friends. “Don’t think this is over renegades, for the moment your guardian leaves you’ll have to deal with Celestia and the elements of harmony.” With having said that she flew off along with her guards.

Guardian watches as they flew off, depowering once they were out of sight. “That was dramatic.”

“But interesting to say the least.” Said Dusty. “So you’re the first gravity shifter huh?”

Guardian sighed. “Yes, I am Kat Shifter. The first Displaced shifter. I was the general to Celestia and Luna on my homeworld, accompanied by my faithful friend, Dusty.”

“Judging by the way you were looking at me and sis. I take it that your Dusty died from doing something noble I take it?”

“He gave his life to Fluttershy so she could live. But that was many, many years ago.”

“So if you were the first gravity shifter, how come you’re a pony?” Asked Kat.

“Simple transformation technology. Courtesy of my younger brother. I’ve grown rather attached to it over the years. Wow, I really am starting to sound like an old woman lately. Guess the centuries are finally catching up to me.”

“To be fair you don’t look old. You pretty much look as young as we are.”

“I may look that young, but I’m actually over thirteen hundred years old.”

“Really?” The renegade said in union. “Dang you’re old as hell...no offence or anything.”

“It’s very common among Displaced. A majority are gifted with agelessness, yourselves are probably not an exception to the rule.”

“Maybe, but I don’t want to test that theory out anytime soon. Thanks for helping us out back there.” Said Daidouji.

“I promised to help you. I never break my promises if I can help it. And it sounds like Luna won’t give up finding you, nor the others. Keep that diamond on hand so that you can contact me at any time you need.”

“Noted, so other displaced have these items that allow them to be summoned by other displaced?”

“Yes, every Displaced has the ability to create a totem which is a symbol of who they are. They can be distributed into the Void and to other Displaced throughout the multiverse,” Guardian explained.

“Interesting….we might as well try doing that seeing how we need all the help we could get.” Kumatora said as she pulled out a Mr. Saturn, a ninja scroll, a purple crystal. “Will these do?”

Guardian nodded and opened a vortex. “Before sending them out, imbue them with your essence through a special message.”

“Okay, I am Kumatora the Princess of PSI and technology member of the renegades, if you need any assistance in tech or fighting wise give me a call.” Kumatora passed the ninja scroll to Daidouji.

“I’m Daidouji, master ninja of the secret arts, call me if you want a sparring partner or need me to knock someone down a peg or two.” Daidouji handed the purple crystal towards Kat and Dusty.

“Sup I’m Kat Graviton and this is my little brother Dusty or sir fluffy if you wanna call him that.”

“Screw you Kat!”

“Anyway need help from us? Just give us a call and will try to make it to you to help out.” Kat said as handed their items towards Guardian. “There we go.”

“Alrighty, just drop them into the Void.”

Kat opens a portal to the void and chuck their calling card into it. “Done.” She said as the void closed itself up. “Well that was easy. If only it was that easy with most of the stuff we do.”

“I think that’s everything then, my friends. I believe it is time I get going.”

“We hope to see you again Guardian, and again thanks for helping us.” Said Daidouji.

Guardian opened a portal and started to walk through. “Oh and Kat, watch who you tell your name to. You do not want to get mistaken for me. I can promise you it won’t end well as I’ve made a lot of enemies over the years. Toodles~!” And like that, she was gone.

“Okay…...wait what?”
