1. Prologue

Author's Note

Okay, so this is my first fanfic ever so please take it easy on me. I would appreciate it if anyone informs me of any grammatical errors or mispelling. Now, I should warn ya that I will be doing some time skips throughout the timeline of the series a bit. Honestly, I might not be able to work with all of the episodes. I will be altering what occurs in some of the episodes that I feel like doing, just not all of them.

1. Prologue

Third P.O.V.

"Daddy, I'm going to school now," yelled a young filly as she ran out the door.

"Alright, and behave I don't want to hear about another incident like last time from Ms. Cherilee," Her father called to her.

Nick/Necros' P.O.V.

Hello! Yeah that was my daughter you just saw. Ya know the one with the dark purple mane, black coat, turqoise eyes. The strange part though is that I'm not a pony. If you're curious about what I am theeennn Iii can't really give you a good solid answer. Why? Because I lost my humanity the moment I came to Equestria... or rather Equis' MOON. Yeah, maybe I should start from the beginning so this makes sense to ya.

Comic-Con 500 years ago...give or take a few

"Okay, so we meet up here in two hours, got it?" That's my older brother Thomas. He decided to dress up as Ghost Rider from the sequel film after he gets blue flames in exchange for the old ones (don't ask me 'what color were they' because I didn't watch the movie). He was able to get everything except the motorcycle.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it." That would be my younger brother Jake. He came dressed up as Ash Williams from the Evil Dead series, missing the shotgun and signature "chainsaw hand."

Now I know you're wondering who I came as, right? Well you've never heard of him before because I came up with the idea. I came as Necros, a man who became the reluctant ruler of the dead after cultists had sown (I think thats the right word) into his skin... the pages from the Necronomicon! The famed book of legend from the Cthulhu Mythos! After surviving the ordeal, he chose to use his newfound powers to fight crime! Yeah, sounds awesome, right? But, of course, everything comes at a price... his was becoming hideously scarred and gaining immortality. This means that he can't die by any means and would be forced to watch others age and wither away while he would continue to live.

So we agreed that Thomas and I would pair up and go shopping. As we were looking around, we found a shop being run by a dude cosplaying as the Merchant from Resident Evil 4. What we saw would make any grown geek fangasm. We saw state of the art stuff from any series you could think of! There was a Teseract, a Predator's (or Yautja) plasma gun, Ash Williams' chainsaw, stuff I'd never seen before. What got me and my brother hooked though, was the Ghost Rider's motorcycle from the first film and *GASP* the ride I designed for my character! It was a Humvee styled like those in the military in black and dark grey armor plating with red headlights! Thomas and I agreed that we would do whatever it took to get those beauties.

Yeah, I know what your thinking, 'wait how does some random dude have a ride that fits your specific designs?' Well, I kinda already knew that this was no 'random dude' we were dealing with because I read stories (Displaced fanfiction) about how various people go missing because they buy stuff from this dude. Now, I know you're probably thinking that I was not making a smart choice, right? Then I guess I'm a part of what may be the most awesome (yet somewhat mixed up) club in the multiverse! So HAH!!! Besides that, I'm a brony, and its something of a dream to me to go to Equestria. Sure I might hit a few... bumps... but that is to be expected for people who get Displaced.

So we went to the Merchant as he said in that gravelled tone of his, "Ah, 'Ello Mr. Rider and... Umm... I don't quite recall meeting you before Mr...?"

"Necros, sir, Lord of the dead, Nightmare of evil, and Monster amongst monsters." I said with as dark a tone I could muster.

"Ah, well its good to meet you good sir, so what would you like to purchase?"

"We would like to buy the two vehicles, please."

"Good, that'll be $10,000."

My brother replied, "Welp, there goes our chances of buying anything else here."

"Maybe, but its well worth it," I said as I handed the Merchant. "Oh and if you see our brother, Ash Williams, could you send him our way please?"

"I suppose I can do that. He'll certainly want his things, of course."

"Thanks, man."

After those last words, I saw nothing but darkness. When I woke up, I thought I was looking at Earth, but then I remember that I've just been Displaced. Wait a minute, if I'm Displaced, then shouldn't I be in Equestria and not on the moon? But, if so then why do I hear someone crying? Hold on, wasn't Nightmare Moon banished to the, um, moon? I mean I'd probably be sad to if my siblings kicked me out of the house we share - I mean used to share (gonna take some time getting used to being Displaced). I decided 'what the heck, I'm gonna help her'. Before I got started looking for her I used my shapeshifting abilities(that's one Necros' powers) to remove my newly acquired scars. I kept my outfit (wait, I never described it... well it was a black leather jacket, dark grey t-shirt, blue jeans, fingerless gloves, and combat boots), grew back my brown hair and... oh, riiight.

I completely forgot about my eyes!

Thats the major flaw with my shapeshifting, it doesn't work on them. The irises are orange stars completely surrounded by black.

*Sigh*Well, gonna have to make do.

It was actually pretty easy finding Nightmare Moon. I didn't need to listen carefully or anything like because one of Necros' powers was Synesthesia (the ability to see soundwaves as waves of color). The waves were coming from one of the small craters nearby, but when I looked in I found something... unexpected. I SAW... an anthro Nightmare Moon curled up, sobbing into her knees. (A/N : Yeah, sorry 'bout the whole build up trick, it won't happen again, I promise.) She was dressed in the same battle armor as in the series, except it covered her body and upper legs.

Anyway, I slowly floated down to her (flying is one of my powers too) trying to appear -

"What do you want?"

Dang it.

"Um, how did you know I was here?"

"I could sense something inside you," she said.

I tried to come up with an intelligent response, "Oh."

I decided to land and sit down. So I did the first thing that came to my mind to help her and stroked her back in a comforting manner.

"What are you doing," asked the confused mare.

"I am trying to comfrot you," I said in a matter-of-fact manner.

"I can see that, but why? Surely, you have heard of my tale?"

Ah, yes the tale of Nightmare Moon, any brony worth his merchandise knows it.

"I have, yes." - To which her ears drop. - "But I always believed in second chances."

"But, I attempted to bring-"

"Eternal night, yes, but I feel that was just a mistake."

"No it wasn't a mistake!!! I tried to fulfill the wish of my other self and get other ponies to appreciate the night!!! And look where it got me!!!"

As soon as she finished, she start to bawl again so I hugged her and comforted her for what might have been hours. I didn't know because I didn't have a watch on me.

"*Sniff* Thank you," she said once she was done.

"Ya know what, how about we both get ice cream," I asked her.

"But Celestia will know that I'm gone."

"Well, then how about I go and get you something then? There's nothing really there to stop me," I pointed out.

"Well... alright," said a reluctant Nightmare Moon.

And thats how our relationship started. And no, I am not talking about a romantic sort of thing, I mean I became a father figure to her so get those ideas out of your head!

2. Split(ing A) Personality Part 1

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

3. Split(ing A) Personality Part 2

Town Hall

"Well, here we are," I announced. I spent the time on the way explaining to Jake about how we got sent to Equestria and became Displaced. He got really concerned after I told him about how we were inside a tv show meant for little girls. Luckily, I was able to get him to calm down.

My brother asked, "Hey, maybe Celestia can send us back home?"

Uh oh. Gonna have to break the news to him. "Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think we should." To which I received a raised eyebrow. "Tell me Jake, have you ever heard of the multiverse theory? Well, its true. But it doesn't include Earth but all worlds, including this one."

"So, that means-"

"That the chances of us getting back are infinity to one. Anyway, we'd best head inside."

Eventually, the mayor came out, "fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" To which all the ponies cheered. "In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now it is my great honor, to introduce to you, the ruler of our land, Princess Celestia!"

The curtains were pulled back and, as planned, no Sunbutt. As expected, this got everypony scared as they started to whisper. "Remain calm everypony, I'm certain that there's a reasonable explanation."

Pinkie called out, "ooh, ooh, I love guessing games! Is she hiding?"

"She's gone," cried Rarity.

"Ooh, she's gooood," Pinkie commented before screaming.

Ah, here comes the true mare of the hour. Blue smoke began rolling in before 'Nightmare Moon' teleported onto the stage.

"Ah, my beloved subjects. Its been so long since I've seen your pwecious, wittle, sun-wuving faces."

"What did you do with our princess," yelled Rainbow Dash before trying to strike my daughter. Emphasis the word 'trying'. She was stopped by Applejack holding onto her tail.

"Why? Am I not royal enough for you," Nyx questioned. "Don't you know who I am?"

"Ooh, ooh! More guessing games! Umm, Hokey Smokes! How about Queen Meanie? No, Black Snooty, Black Sno-mrph." Appledash stopped her by putting a cupcake in her mouth.

"Does my crown no longer count because I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?"

"I did," Twilight spoke out. "And I know who you are. You're the Mare in the Moon, Nightmare Moon!"

"Well, well, well. So somepony does remember me. Then you also know why I am here."

"Yes. You're here to bring about eternal night."

"Correct. And seeing as Celestia isn't here to stop me, then the night shall go on FOREVER! Hahahahahahahaa!"

She teleported away before anyone could get to her. "So, what do you think we should do," Jake asked me.

"Well, I'm gonna look around town. You should stick with Twilight." I left before I received an answer.

I ran to the nearest dark alley and shapeshifted into an eagle. I flew above the Everfree Forest looking for the rendezvous point that Nyx and I set up: the Castle of the Two Sisters. "So, didja set everything up the way it was meant to," I asked Nyx.

"Well, yes but..."

"But, what?"

"What if I don't make it?"

"Nyx, don't you dare say that. Don't you think about that for a second. I know that you'll make it because I'm your father." That got a good smile out of her. "Besides, even if you don't make it, I couldn't be any prouder of you."

"But, if you wanted me to do this, then why didn't you tell me to?"

"Because I wanted you to make that choice on your own. Now, the girls will be showing up any minute now, so we best get into position, okay?"

"Yes, Father."

I decided to pay Sunbutt a visit in the tower. "So, how do you feel about getting your sister back?"

"Honestly, I'm not sure what to think. How will I make up for all that time when I could have been a better sister?"

"Simple. You just do. You're her sister, Celestia. I'm pretty certain that she'll wanna make up with ya." Noticing that this didn't help, I decided to pull out the big guns. "How about this Celestia, if she doesn't want to make up with you, then I will eat one pair of dirty underpants for every day that passed since the one that you banished my daughter to the moon."

"Pfft Haahahahaha!"

Bull's eye.

"Well, seeing as you're so confident that this will happen, I will take you up on that little wager."

"Deal!" And at that we shoke hands. "Oh, and just so we're clear: no daipers." That got a good giggle out of her. Now, I know your asking yourselves 'why would he try to cheer her up if he doesn't like her.' Well, while I don't like Sunbutt, I hate the idea of seeing a girl/mare cry even more. What? I have a heart... somewhere.

"TWILIGHT!!!" Oh, here they are.

"And now Celestia, we wait." After a few minutes, we heard a loud explosion. "You go on ahead Celestia, I need to get ready for my entrance."

I decided to return to my true form with the leather jacket, combat boots, and dark camo pants. I also put my sunglasses in my pocket. Eventually, I heard Nyx call out for me. "Daddy!"

I used boulders to sound like footsteps. How, might you ask. I used Necros' power of telekinesis. Heh heh, superpowers are so much fun. *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*. I kept doing this until I reached of the throne room's entrance. Luckily, Jake and the girls didn't see me behind them, so I yelled, "SURPRIZE!"

"AAHHH!!"

"Ha ha ha ha haa! Oh, I gotcha gooood!"

"Daddy," Nyx yelled as she tackled me. She was still wearing her armor, but it shrunk down to fit her.

"Wait a minute, did you just say 'daddy'? Nnniiick, what is she talking about," Jake asked me.

"Nyx."

"Yes Daddy?"

I pointed to Jake and said, "ssaaayyyy 'uncle'!"

"Uncle," she cried as she leapt towards him. This time, Jake fell on impact. "Woah!"

Rarity was the first to speak out, "excuse me, sir, but did you call her 'Nyx'?"

"Why yes, yes I did."

"Mmhmm. And you wouldn't happen to know somepony by the name of 'Numbskull', would you?"

"Well of course I know him. He's me!"

"WHAT," cried the Mane Six.

"But Rarity said that Numbskull was a stallion," Rainbow pointed out.

"Well, I couldn't just waltz into town as a freak with all these scars on me, so I shapeshifted into the form of a stallion that resembled me. Plus, I wanted to see my little angel give the town a big performance. Oh, that reminds me. Hey Celestia, does Luna wanna make amends with ya?"

"Yes, she does. Thank you."

"Oh good, that means I don't have to uphold our bargain."

"Um, excuse me," asked Fluttershy. "What deal did you make with Celestia, if you don't mind me asking."

"Well, ya see, I made a bet with Celestia that if Luna didn't make up with her, then I would eat one pair of dirty underpants for every day that passed since the day that my daughter was banished to the moon." That made everypony laugh, even Fluttershy.

"So, now that we're done here, what now," Jake asked.

Oops. "I'll be honest with ya... I did not plan this far ahead."

"Um, excuse me, sir," Fluttershy said. "But I have enough room for you and Nyx to stay, if you want."

"I suppose that can work until we can get a place of our own. Nyx, what do you think?"

"I think that sounds very nice."

"Then, I guess that we'll take you up on that offer, Ms..."

"Oh, I'm Fluttershy."

"Well its very nice to meet you Fluttershy. I'm Nick."

"Well, its very nice to meet you Nick."

Jake asked, "Hang on, where am I sleeping?"

"Well, I have a couch you can sleep on," Twilight suggested.

"*Sigh* I guess that's better than nothing."

"Hey, do you know what this calls for everypony," Pinkie shouted. "A party!"

Here's my chance to show off. "Hey Celestia, do you mind if we take my ride back to town," I asked.

My brother cried out, "Celestia don-" "I suppose so."

"Yes," I said to myself in victory. I put two fingers to my mouth and whistled. When I was done we began hearing trees being crushed and something jingling as the living vehicle made his way towards us. And yes, my ride is a male.

I said as he arrived, "ladies, I want you to meet my friend, Deathtrap." Out of the plantlife came a giant tank.

"What the hay is that thing, its just a hunk of junk," Rainbow commented.

Deathtrap pointed his turret at Rainbow and growled using his engine. I didn't know if Deathtrap had any live rounds in him so I decided to talk him down from doing anything. "Deathtrap, no." Yeah, in the character profile for Deathtrap, I gave him a dog-like personality. Luckily he decided to listen to me. And now, to scold Rainbow for insulting him. "I'll have you know, Rainbow Dash, that the 'hunk of junk' is Deathtrap, and he does not like being talked about in such a manner."

"Oh, heh heh, oops," Rainbow laughed sheepishly.

"Now then, who wants to go to Ponyville in style?"

"Ooh, I do, I do," called out Pinkie.

"Those that do are to hop inside, those that don't can walk." After I said that, everypony's hands went up. As everypony went inside, Applejack asked, "just what does this big fella eat anyway?"

"Actually, Applejack, he eats meat and I know what you're thinking, but I trained him to not eat any animal that can talk like ponies."

"Well, Ah'm real glad to hear that Nick."

Eventually, everypony was strapped in (had to show all of them how seatbelts are used) and we were on our way. When we arrived, everypony was either shocked or scared. After we made it to the center of town, everypony started to cheer when Celestia came out, next came Luna, and then the Mane Six. "Daddy, can I go outside," Nyx asked.

"Sorry Nyx, but not yet. First, we need to get you a disguise to avoid causing any trouble."

"Oh, okay."

I went over to Rarity, "Hey, Rarity, I've been told that you're in the fashion business and I was wondering if I could ask for a favor."

"Why, darling, all you needed to do was ask. We're friends, remember?"

"Yeah, I'm just not used to having so many. Anyway, I was hoping that you would be able to make some clothes for Nyx and-"

"Say no more darling, I accept!"

The party lasted until night rolled in. Nyx and I went to Fluttershy's cottage. Luckily, all of her animals were asleep so we recieved no trouble. Turns out that I had to sleep on the couch. Actually, it was pretty comfortable. So, I doozed off.

...
...
...

"Daddy?"

"Hmm? Oh, hey Nyx. Is something wrong?"

"I... I had a bad dream."

"Oh, what was it about?"

"Well, in the dream. You abandoned me and I was stuck on the moon again. You wouldn't do that, would you Daddy?"

"Sweetheart, I would never do anything like that. Okay?"

"Okay. Umm, Daddy?"

"Yeah."

"Is it okay if I sleep with you tonight?"

"Sure thing sweetheart, come 'ere."

And that was my first day in Equestria. Now don't go thinking that I'm done talking 'cause that was just my first adventure in Equestria. I ain't done with ya because now I'm gonna tell you about my next adventure. Heh heh.

Author's Note

Yeah I just realized that I never gave Nick a power set to rely on for the readers (and if you say that he's overpowered, well that's because he will be fighting powerful characters, namely those from Marvel or those that are Displaced) so here it goes

He has telekinesis
He can shapeshift (doesn't work on his eyes)
He can sprout black tentacles from anywhere on his body and use them for various things (namely used for lockpicking and as whip-like weapons)
He can fly
He can use necromancy to communicate with the dead and control dead matter
He can summon creatures from the Cthulhu Mythos
He has an instinctive knowledge of when he is lied to
Can use Rift Spheres (balls of psionic energy that have a strong gravitational pull)

The Eyes of Azathoth lets him:
See soundwaves as color (Synesthesia)
See through all illusions
Read any language
Show Truth to others (works via eye contact) (WARNING: Can cause things ranging from fear and uncomforting paranoia to insanity based on strength of mind and what is shown, user will also see what is shown to victim/viewer)

Y'Golonac mouth (located on the palms of his hands):
Its scream is so powerful it can cause most solid objects to shatter
Its bite creates a wound that will never heal and will bleed for eternity

Now I've read a bit about this unique ability called Understanding and wanted to do something similar but make it a bit darker, so I invented Truth, something of an opposite to Understanding.

So there you have it. That's all of Nick's special powers. So, I'll see you around. Later!

4. A Conversation in Lalaland

Author's Note

I should probably give you all a heads up, I stink at writing Shakespearian so I'm just not gonna do it. Also, it was a pain in the butt writing down all of Nick's powers in a fashion that fit the story. I'm sorry that it took me so long and I hope that you will forgive me.

4. A Conversation in Lalaland

Nick's POV

It was night-time in Ponyville and everypony was sound asleep... except for me. I was not having very pleasant dreams. Why don't we go inside my head because that's where the real action is taking place.

Nick's Lalaland

Imagine this if you can. The sky was red and there were no clouds in sight. The sun was covered by the moon, generating a solar eclipse. Monsters of all kinds were running amok. But, that isn't the scariest part. Zombified ponies were walking or crawling about. I didn't see anypony that looked even remotely alive until-

"Daddy?"

-Nyx arrived.

"Nyx, what are you doing here?"

"Don't you remember, Daddy? I came to you because I was having bad dreams. But, from the looks of it, you need more help than I do!"

"Yeah, it doesn't look very pretty, does it?"

"Nope," Nyx said as she shook her head.

"Well, at least I know its a dream now, that's always a good place to start."

"Really? How?"

"Now, I'm no expert but I remember reading some studies back on Earth about dreams. Ya see Nyx, the trick to taking control of your dream is to first acknowledge the fact that you are having a dream. After that you can do pretty much whatever you want I suppose."

"Oh, okay. But, Daddy..."

"Yeah Nyx?"

"How did I get into your dream?"

"Iii... have no idea. We should probably try to talk to Luna when we get a chance. Maybe we could ask Celestia and see if we could set up an appointment or something," I mused to myself.

"Or perhaps we would like to talk to you right now," echoed a voice out of nowhere.

"Daddy, look up there," Nyx said as she pointed at the eclipse, which now had an outline of the Mare in the Moon before Luna replaced it.

"So, you are one responsible for our freedom?"

I came up with something clever to say, "well, seeing as I don't have any twins running about, I would have to say yes."

Luna rolled her eyes.

"So, why are you here Luna?"

"Well, as it is our duty to watch over the dreams of all in Equestria, We decided to start as soon as possible. What We did not expect, however, was the nightmare that our... relative, was having. Even less, was when We found the dream that you were having."

"Oh, okay. Hey, Princess, would it be alright if you were to teach Nyx on how to use the abilities that she recieved from you?"

Upon hearing this, my daughter used on Luna her weapon of ultimate destruction: the puppy dog eyes.

"...Very well. Now, pay attention young one, because this isn't going to be easy."

Time skip

Honestly, I didn't have a clue on what Luna was talking about. I also had no idea how long the two were going at it, though thats probably because we were in a dream and dreams have no sense of time whatsoever. Anyway, Nyx was finally able to clean up my dream. Well, that is if you consider making all the zombie ponies dead an improvement.

"Hey, I think it would be best if we throw in the towel," I announced

"What does that mean," asked Luna.

"It means that we stop for now," I explained.

"But Daddy, how am I supposed to get better," asked Nyx.

"How about this, you will practice on me each night and Luna will see how much you've progressed once a week. How does that sound?"

"Actually, that sounds like an excellent idea," Luna commented. "Now then, We would like to talk about you Nick."

Uh-oh. Best tread lightly here. "What would you like to know?"

She began asking me various questions and I answered them as best as I could. Until she started asking me about what I can do as far as special abilities go.

"Okay, umm... is it okay if I just show you my abilities?"

"If you wish to do so."

"Thank you. Now, let me bring up some stuff to aim for because my powers are centered around doing damage." I materialized some boulders and trees, then I began to call forth my eldritch powers. I decided to go with my tentacle whip, basically it was just my hand changed into a black whip. "Okay, first off I have the ability to create tentacles from any part of my body. They can be used for mid-range combat," I said as I lashed a tree branch, making a good crack as I hit my mark. "Second, I have the ability to sprout mouths from the palms of my hands. If you get bitten by them, they will make a wound that will never heal and bleed for eternity... or whenever the being dies. They also have the power to produce a mind-crushing shriek that can shatter solid objects. You might wanna cover your ears for this demonstration." As they did so, a mouth with pirahna-like teeth took form in the palm of my right hand and produced a powerful noise.

SSSSCCCRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Everything in the direction of the attack bursted into fragments. I decided to cut of the usage of the move because while its very powerful, its also very draining.

"Next, I can summon various creatures from certain areas of the multiverse and I know that your going to be asking what they are but I can't really give you a straight answer or else we're going to be stuck here for a while with me droning on about this one subject. Anyway, next on the list I know when someone is lying to me. I can also fly-"

"Hold on, how can you fly? You don't have any wings," Luna stated.

"Luna, I just designed these powers. I never expected to have them forced on me when I was blasted from my universe into this one. Okay?"

"Very well. Continue."

"Now then, I can create balls of psionic energy known as 'Rift Spheres'. They have an extremely powerful gravitational pull." I produced what some might call a purple version of Naruto's rasengan (an orb of energy spiraling into itself). "Its meant for mid- to long-range attack." I threw the orb at a nearby tree that began collapsing in on itself once it came into contact with the sphere. "Next up are my eyes. They allow me to see sound waves as they travel. They also allow me to show Truth to others using eye contact-"

"Excuse me, but what is Truth exactly," Luna asked.

"Truth is the ability to show anypony anything that has ever happened or existed in the multiverse, it is particularly useful for interrogation or making threats. However, when I use this ability, I also run the risk of turning that pony insane. But that is determined by how strong the pony's mind is and what I show said pony. Now let me think what else can I do? Oh right, I know when I am being lied to, I have telekinetic abilities, I can shapeshift, and I can see through any illusion. I can also read any language, and use slight necromantic powers-"

"WHAT?!" I dare ya to guess who yelled that. "WHY CAN YOU USE ONE OF THE MOST FORBIDDEN MAGICS IN HISTORY?!"

"Luna, I understand your concerns and I promise that I will limit the use of such abilities... except for pranking. Besides I can only control dead matter and talk to those that have passed away. How about this, as a means of earning your trust, I will tell my greatest weakness no matter how embarassing it may be, okay?"

"... Very well, but I get to inform my sister and the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony of this weakness."

"That's perfectly fine with me. Okay, here we go... my greatest weakness is... magic."

...
...
...

"That's it," Luna asked.

"Well, I planned on having my abilities serve as an opposite of magic. Imagine that you have light and darkness. How do you defeat darkness? By replacing it with light. My abilities are symbolic of all the things that lurk in the darkness. Though that shouldn't be surprising since I gained my abilities from the most powerful book in the multiverse. Luckily, while I can be outmatched by magic, it can't kill me. Anyway, I -"

I was interupted by Nyx. "Daddy, what's that," Nyx asked as she pointed at a gathering at Town Hall.

"I don't really know Nyx. Let's go check it out. Hey Luna do you wanna come with us?"

"I don't see any reason not to."

As we got closer to what appeared to be a weddingceremony, I was able to make out a few of the ponies in the audience like Nyx, Derpy, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, the CMC (the Cutie Mark Crusaders), and the Mane Six-

Hang on... where's Fluttershy?

-except for Fluttershy. And then, music started playing.

Wedding Music.

Fluttershy came in, walking down the aisle in a beautiful wedding gown. And at the end of the aisle was me as the groom. What was even crazier was the fact that my dream-self wasn't using a disguise. He was dressed in a fancy tuxedo while his scars were completely visible.

"Awww, that's so cute," Nyx said. "You like Ms. Fluttershy."

"No I don't, she's just... uh... really nice! Yeah! That's it. Heh heh."

"... You have a crush on Fluttershy, don't you Daddy," Nyx said in a fashion that reminded me of a particular talking, yellow sponge.

"*Sigh* Fine. Yes, I do have a crush on Fluttershy."

"YES! I knew it!"

"But now that you know this, I am asking you to not get involved in my love life, okay?"

"Okay," Nyx said.

"Nyx."

"Yes Daddy?"

"You're lying to me. Seriously I just said that I know when somepony is lying to me! Was anypony listening when I said that?"

"Oops."

"Let me guess, you're gonna get involved no matter what I say aren't ya?"

"Yup," Nyx said.

*Sigh* Whelp, I wanted to be a dad, this is just part of the package experience. "Fine. But nothing crazy, okay?"

"Like what," Nyx asked.

"Love potions." Yeah, I remember how that 'Hearts and Hooves Day' episode went and as funny as it was, I do NOT wanna get into a forced relationship, even if its with a mare that I like.

For some unknown reason everything began to fade out of existence. "Daddy what's happening," Nyx said.

"I think that we're waking up. So Nyx, are ya ready for your first day in Equestria?"

"Mm-hmm! I'm ready!"

"Then let's go!"

Unfortunately, as soon as I woke up, I saw White Devil standing over me ready to torture me with his White Club of Doom!

Actually, it was Angel with a bowling pin ready to put me to sleep. He konked me on the head and I was out like a light.

5. Good Morning

I don't really know how long I was out, but I woke up to an unusual sight. I saw Equinsu Ocha (aka the White Devil (aka Angel Bunny)) being chased by my daughter as she called out, "DON'T HURT MY DADDY!!!" Now as proud as I was to see her fighting for my well being even though I can't die, I had to put a stop to it.

"Nyx!"

She stopped once she heard me. "Yes Daddy?"

"Stop terrorizing the trouble-making rabbit. You know that I can't die."

"Yes Daddy," Nyx said before giving the rodent a good death glare.

"Oh! You're awake," Fluttershy said when she came into the room. She was wearing a white cooking apron over a green sweater and a green skirt that went down to her knees. She had rather large breasts that almost looked like she came out of an anime. (You know what I'm getting repeating myself so I will only say this once : ALL THE MARES HAVE BIG BOOBS!!!) "I asked Angel to check, but he didn't come back to tell me."

"Well, while I can honestly say that I foresaw some disrespect from most animals, I was not expecting to see a bunny standing over me, ready to pummel me with a bowling pin."

"But, why would you expect to be treated badly by animals," Fluttershy asked as she tilted her head.

Must. Not. Cuddle. Fluttershy! Luckily, I got myself under control before I did something embarrassing.

"Namely because of the fact that I am as far away from normal as an unnatural being can get. Take the Everfree Forest for example, most ponies would stay as far away from it as possible while I would find it quite comfortable." It was after I said this that I detected a most wonderful fragrance. "Hey Fluttershy, is something cooking?"

"Oh yes, I made pancakes. I hope you don't mind Nick."

"Well let's not waste another moment because I am famished."

So we went into into the kitchen. Nyx and I sat down at the tablewhen Fluttershy gave the each of us a small stack of pancakes. When I took my first bite, a song started to play inside my head. "This is the best food I have ever eaten in my entire existence."

"Oh, it can't be that good," Fluttershy said with a slight blush.

"Oh no, it is that good. I'm surprised that you're not some chef in a fancy resteraunt."

"Well, that's because my special talent is being able to communicate with animals."

"But how do you know that's your talent," I asked. Now I you're going to ask me why I'm asking her this when I'm a brony. Simple, I want to make it look like I know little about Equestria because then I won't have to explain how I watched a TV show about them. Telling them something like that is likely to make them self-conscious even though nobody is going to be looking at them from another universe. I want to avoid causing the paranoia that the girls could suffer from hearing something like that if I can.

While she told us her story, there was one little detail that caught me off-guard. "Forgive me Fluttershy, but could you please repeat what saved you from the fall."

"Oh, I was saved by a creature known as a shoggoth. He was really friendly and he taught me how to understand animals."

Eeyup. A shoggoth. A creature easily identified by it's slimy composition and its many eyes that appear to be made from bronze. The idea of this scared me. If a shoggoth exists in Equestria, what else from the Cthulhu Mythos lives here? That fact that said shoggoth was friendly did soothe my nerves a bit. Not much, but a bit.

"Anyway, what does your cutie mark look like?"

"Oh! Let me show you." Fluttershy reached down underneath the table and put a purse on top. Then she pulled out her wallet and handed me her ID. Yes, IDs exist in this universe.

Lets see here, nice picture, age 20 and... huh, well that's different. Instead of the three butterflies as in the show, the ID depicted a pawprint like what you might expect to see as a tattoo.

"Well it looks very nice. Hey, where is it located?"

Her response was to point at her hips.

It was then that Nyx spoke up, "hey Dad, do you have any plans for today?"

"Well I was going to see if Rarity has finished making your clothes and... ummm, I hope it isn't too much to ask for you Fluttershy, but could you be able to call a meeting with your friends?"

"Oh it shouldn't be a problem," she replied with a smile. Hm, it seems that this version of Fluttershy is a little more confident than in the series, though still just as quiet.

"Okay then I guess I'll get going then." After the front door was closed behind me, I heard a splat then Fluttershy yelling "Angel!" That silly rabbit got no sympathy from me.

I decided to take flight as a crow to attract less attention and find Carousel Boutique more easily. It also helped that the dark aura that takes shape whenever I fly using my powers isn't seen as easily. I understand that some might be confused when they first hear this, but let me explain why I am doing this... simply put, I suck ass when it comes to flying as an actual bird. The first time I flew as a bird was just a few nights ago and I crashed repeatedly and brutally. Some might call what I'm doing right now 'cheating,' but I don't care.

Anyway, eventually I found Rarity's shop and hid inot a nearby alley to change into my pony form. I then walked up to the door and knocked.

"Come in," I heard her call through the door. When I walk in, I see a rack with ten replicas of the same outfit. It was a white short-sleeve shirt with a dark purple vest, and a turquoise skirt.

I saw Rarity walk in from another room as she asked, "So how do you like it dearie?"

"I think they look really nice. How did you make so many in a night?"

"Oh it was just a simple duplication spell darling. It helps whenever multiple ponies want the same outfit."

"Well um... I hate to ask you this but do you know a spell to shrink them? I'd like to get them to my daughter without anypony seeing them."

"Actually I do know one. I'd prefer that you didn't tell anypony about it though."

"Why's that?"

"Well, let's just say that I do occasionally recieve requests that are rather... mature."

"Oh, okay," I said with a shrug.

"...That's it? No judgemental comment, no anything, just 'okay'?"

"Rarity, I try not to judge others. As my father always said, 'judgement belongs only in court'."

"You must be very proud of your father," Rarity said with a smile.

"Yeah, he was a pretty awesome guy. Anyway," I clapped my hands lightly, "about that shrinking spell."

"Right." At that point her horn was glowing and the clothes became small enough for a Barbie doll. She then put them in a shoe box along with ordinary shoes that looked like they would fit Nyx.

"So let's get going then."

"Did Fluttershy already call you?"

"She did and I have nothing scheduled for today, just let me tell my sister that I'm leaving."

"Sure."

"Sweetie Belle!"

A unicorn mare that looked to be Nyx's age came down the stairs and said, "yeah Sis?"

"I'm leaving now. Do not get into any trouble while I'm away."

"Okay," Sweetie said before going back upstairs.

"Hey Rarity," I said after we got outside.

"Yes Nick?"

"Don't take this the wrong way, but how old is your sister?"

"She's ten, why do you ask?"

"Well I just needed an age to put in my daughter's cover."

"Oh, alright... Nick?"

"Yeah."

"How old are you?"

"525."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"How is that possible?"

"I prefer not to talk about it."

Time Skip

Finally we had reached Fluttershy's cottage. When we got inside we saw that everyone (including Jake) was sitting around the table. "Please tell me that we're not late."

"No. Please sit," Twilight instructed. After we did so she began speaking again, "so, your brother told us that you have various abilities, is this true?"

"Yes."

"From how many powers you have, you might as well be overpowered," Rainbow commented.

"I am not overpowered!" I know you're probably wondering why I take offense to being called 'overpowered' the same way Martin McFly hates being called 'chicken'. Fact is I don't like others scratching Necros off as 'overpowered' when they don't bother thinking 'hey, I wonder what weaknesses the guy has'. Seriously, I invented various counters and rules to his powers to make him better and people don't even bother asking what they ARE. *Sigh* At least Twilight asked what counters I designed. "Where to begin? How about my necromancy?"

"You're a necromancer," Rainbow shouted. "Twilight how do we know that this bozo won't try to create some zombie apocalypse?!"

I replied, "because I live here with my daughter." Hearing this got Rainbow to calm down. "Anyway, there are what I like to call the 'Three Levels of Necromancy'," I noticed that Twilight was taking notes and decided to ignore it. "Now the first level is simply being able to summon and communicate with ghosts, however I can't force them to do anything, instead I have to convince them to do something. The second level involves me being able to control dead matter-"

"So, could you make a zombie apocalypse," Rainbow interupted.

"No. It would be far to draining to do something on that scale. Anyway, the third level... oops," I said before realizing something.

Nyx then spoke up, "what is it Dad?"

"I forgot to tell Luna about level three."

"I could send a letter to Princess Luna if you want," Twilight suggested. "I mean I am Celestia's student."

"I'd appreciate it, if you don't mind."

"Of course, now back to the third level."

"Actually, I think I'm just gonna give you a hint. The cost of its usage always puts me into a temporary coma."

"Wait a minute," Applejack said. "It was you!"

"I'm sorry Applejack, but you need to be specific with what you're talking about."

"You're the one that saved mah parents." Shock was written on everyone's faces. I might as well admit it right now, I don't take surprises like this well.

"No that can't be right. I mean, I did save one couple that resembled you some time a... go... huh, small world." At this point my brain was already on overdrive and it decided that it was best to shut down... I fainted... on top of the table.

Author's Note

I am sorry that I have not made this chapter sooner. Life has been throwing stuff at me like never before. :twilightangry2:

For those that didn't get the Equinsu Ocha reference look here. Its pretty funny. I just wish I could do the same thing with Angel... I wonder?

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls starring Jim Carrey

For those that still don't get the reference, Equinsu Ocha translates to the village as "White Devil"

Also saw that cliffhanger coming, huh? It hit me just as I was going to post this chapter. Anyway, tell me what you think. (Immitates Golum from The Hobbit) PLEASE!! I MUST HAVE GOOD COMMENTS!!! THEY ENCOURAGE ME TO WRITE FANFICTION!!! PLEEEEAAAASSSE!!!!

6. Call me Sir Pranks-alot

Okay, after the deja vu of blacking out on the same day again, eventually I came to once more on the couch to the sound of the girls arguing. I also noticed that Nyx now had her new clothes on and Spike had arrived. He was wearing a purple hoodie and blue jeans.

"What do you mean he saved your parents," Rainbow questioned. "Hay I'm your best friend and I never heard this before!"

Applejack replied, "Because he made mah family swear that we wouldn't tell anypony. Rainbow, what would anypony do if they found out that somepony, that Nick, could bring the dead back to life?"

After thinking about it, Twilight answered, "It would be chaos."

"Hey," I spoke up.

"Nick," Twilight said. "Good to see you're awake."

"Well, I wouldn't be surprised with how devilishly handsome I am," I joked. "Hey, nopony kissed me in my sleep did they?" As much as I was joking, I noticed that Fluttershy was beginning to grow a blush.

"Nah dude, you're good," my brother said. He was lieing.

"Jake."

"Yeah."

"You're lieing."

"...How did you know," he asked relunctently.

"You just confirmed it."

"...Dang it. Well, I ain't talking."

"Fine. I guess I'll just prank you as payback for lieing to your brother."

"How? You left your prank kit back home."

"Simple," I then gripped the air in front of me and my brother looked like he was sick to his stomach before screaming-

"BATHROOOMM!!"

-at which point he sprinted to the nearest restroom and slammed the door.

"FFUUUCCK!!!"

"Language Jake," I playfully chastized.

"FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!!"

"I think he's talking to his butt," I told the girls. "He tends to do that sometimes."

"What did you do to him," Spike asked.

"Ya see... uh..."

"Spike."

"Spike, I used my necromancy on him."

Not understanding, he asked, "How? There's nothing dead inside him."

"Actually, that's where you're wrong. Inside him and most animals, you can find fecal matter."

"Daddy, what's fecal matter," Nyx asked.

Noticing Twilight's unamused look, I said, "why don't you ask Twilight?"

Now that everyone was looking at her expectingly, Twilight answered, "*Sigh* it means 'poop.'"

After hearing this, laughter broke out from Spike, Pinkie, Rainbow, Applejack and my daughter. Once the laughter qiueted down, we heard a toilet flush. Huh, guess his diarrhoea is finished. We then heard a door open and out staggered my brother, fury and illness written on his face, "you... sick, twisted, disgusting-"

"Careful Jake," I warned, gesturing to the girls. "You wouldn't want to use any foul language in front these ladies, now would you?"

Jake narrowed his eyes. "Let's just get this meeting over with."

Rarity then started, "ahem, now Applejack told us about how your necromancy had limits. Could you please go into further detail?"

"Right, I guess the main limits are focused on my third level. One is the condition of the corpse, if its too damaged, the resurrection won't work."

"Just how damaged are we talking," Rainbow asked.

"Let's just say that if you're missing something you can't live without, I can't help ya. Now, the second condition is that the creature that will be resurrected must want to be resurrected. If somepony feels that they're ready to die, I can't stop them. The third is where the coma comes into play." Here is where I recieved the title 'the Reaper's Bane.' "You see, where Jake and I came from, there is a classical personification of death known as the Grim Reaper. In the world that I based Necros in, the Grim Reaper exists and he does not like it when he can't do his job to deliver souls to the afterlife properly. Necros tends to get in the way of the job, but because he can't die, the most that the Grim Reaper can do is get to the soul first or get payback by putting him into a coma, the more lives brought back the longer the coma. One could say that it becomes a race to see who can get to the corpse first. As a result, I am given a time limit of when I can resurrect somepony before they are dead for good."

After hearing all of this Twilight was the first to speak, "wow, I see you've put a lot of thought into this."

"Yeah. I always dreamed of bringing Necros out into the world, I never expected that I would become him though."

"So what do you plan to do now?"

"First, I would like to surprize Applejack's parents. It has been a while since we've last seen each other. Next, I would like to enroll Nyx into school-"

"Awwww," Nyx pouted adorably. "But Daaaa-aaaad, I don't wanna go to schoooll."

"Nyx, it doesn't matter if you want to because you need to go."

"*Sigh* Fiiinne. But I expect to get a reward for this."

"...Alright," I then began pretending that I had card in my left hand and a microphone in my right. "Nyx, for going to school, you get the wonderful opportunity tooooo... make friends!" This got Nyx to pout adorably again. "I'm not joking about that last part though, I'd like to see that you make some friends. Besides, you've been away for a thousand years and I wouldn't be surprized if you missed out on various moments in history."

"Okay."

"Don't worry Nyx," Spike said. "School isn't that bad. I go to school too and it can be kinda cool at times."

"Now then, Applejack would you like to see shock on your parents' faces?"

"Heheh, Ah suppose. Does anypony want to come with us?" Turned out everyone did. Probably to learn how I met Applejack's family.

On the way I asked Twilight when Spike had arrived. "Oh, he came while you were asleep. I had him stay behind to write to Princess Celestia about the meeting."

"Okay." Luckily, we didn't run into any other ponies on the way to Sweet Apple Acres. "Now Applejack, I want you to get your parents and tell them that an old friend is here to see them."

"Alright." She went inside and yelled, "Ma, Pa, there's a family friend here to see ya'll."

"In a minute," a mare called out. Eventually, out came a mare that had yellow hair and green fur and a stallion who had red hair and brown fur wearing a stetson hat that was a darker shade of brown compared to Applejacks. Then from behind them came Apple Bloom and Big Macintosh.

"Everypony, Ah'd like you to meet mah family: mah mother, Ginger Gold; mah father, Golden Noble; mah little sister, Apple Bloom; and mah older brother, Big Mac."

I then walked to Ginger and Noble and asked, "so have you gotten into any more wagon accidents since we last met?"

"I'm sorry have we met before," Ginger asked.

"*Fake gasp* Ginger, I would think that you would remember me after all this time," I spoke.

"Boy, you had better start making sense before Ah smack some into ya," Noble said.

I raised a brow, "Noble, I'm older than you. If anyone should be calling anypony 'boy' here, its me. Here, let me give you a hint to my identity." I then closed my eyes, took off my sunglasses, put them in my pocket, and opened my eyes. When those two saw my eyes, Ginger screamed (not like a horror movie scream or a celebrity fueled scream, but a scream of seeing a good friend) and the two came over to give me a hug. I will not lie, when you get a hug from Golden Noble, you feel like the Terminator from the first film near the end.

"Its so good to see you again Braveheart," Ginger cried.

Jake snickered, "Braveheart?" Yes, during the time I was traveling, I used the name of a character from the Care Bears franchise as an alias. Just like Numbskull, it worked. "Actually, now that I think about, I think 'Braveheart' is a better disguise for ya, bro."

"You really think so?"

"I don't see any reason not to."

"Actually... hey girls, did any of you tell anypony about, uh, 'Numbskull's' history?"

Twilight spoke, "no Nick, we agreed that it wouldn't be right to gossip about something like what you told us."

I smiled, "thanks. I guess that means that Nyx's official father can change from 'Numbskull' to 'Braveheart'. Anyway, Noble I need some advice."

"Shoot."

I paused and said, "how do I learn to be a good, intimidating, over-protective father?" Everyone started laughing.

"Daaaa-aaaad," my daughter whined. "That is completely unnecessary!"

"Really? Then let me ask you this: how would you handle it if you found your boyfriend cheating on you?" I was actually serious about this, and what she said made me very proud of her.

Nyx turned to Twilight and asked her, "Twilight, is it illegal to use magic to change a pony's gender?" Everyone excluding me was cracking up, I on the other hand was crying tears of pride and joy.

Twilight finally answered, "well, its not illegal, its just a rather advanced spell."

"Could you tutor me then Ms. Sparkle," Nyx replied. "I'd like to have more spells to use for pranks."

"Oh no, now there's two of them," Jake said clearly afraid of the potential pranks that I might pull with my daughter.

"Excuse me dear," Ginger started. "But I can't recall meeting you before, are you a friend of Braveheart's?"

"No. I'm actually his brother, his alias may be 'Braveheart,' but his birthname is Nick."

"Now, Ah have a porposition for you two," Noble gestured to my brother and I. "How would you like to work at Sweet Apple Acres?"

Jake declined saying that he planned on joining law enforcement while I agreed to work for Golden Noble. After we were done talking and everyone had left the farm; Fluttershy, Nyx, and I went to the school to see if Nyx was able to attend. While Fluttershy wanted to wait outside, we found Cherilee doing some papers. "Excuse me," I started. "Is it possible for my daughter to go to this school?"

"Of course! We just need to have her signed in. So, what is your name dear?"

"My name's Nyx, and this my dad, Braveheart," my daughter said. "And yes, he's single." At this, I grew wide-eyed and Cherilee had to stifle a giggle.

"Nyx! What did I tell you not to do in regards to my love life?"

"What love life?"

"...You are very lucky that your punishment is no cookies. Just promise me that you won't treat Ms. Cherilee or your classmates like this."

"I promise."

"Good. So will that be all Ms. Cherilee?"

"Yes. Remember that school will begin tomorrow."

After that, we decided to head to the cottage. Along the way, I decided to chase Nyx as the tickle monster as retribution for embarrassing me. When we got home, I sent Nyx to take a bath while Fluttershy and I would prepare for her first day at school. Despite everything going on, even as I went to sleep, I couldn't stop thinking about wether or not I should use my powers to be a superhero.

Author's Note

Haaaa, finally finished. Welp, I hope to recieve comments soon. See ya!

7. My Daughter's First Day of School

After another session with Nyx practicing her dream abilities (she managed to change the color of the sky to a natural blue, still working on the zombies, and again dealing with the in-dream wedding between me and Fluttershy), it was time for Nyx and I to get ready for the day. While Fluttershy was making breakfast, we were getting dressed... well, Nyx was getting dressed, I was testing different outfits using my shapeshifting powers. We decided to do a quick review of what Nyx would tell her classmates. "So Nyx, what is your cover story?"

"My name is Nyx and I'm ten years old. I was adopted two years ago by my father and we've been traveling across Equestria."

"Good. Let's get going." After putting her backpack on, Nyx and I left for school.

Eventually, we had reached the front door earlier than what we expected and I knelt down to Nyx and asked, "do you have your lunch?"

"Yes."

"Notebook?"

"Yes."

"Pencil?"

"Yes."

"Good. And what is your goal for today?"

"Make friends."

"Good girl. Now, can you give your father some sugar?"

"Sure," she giggled and gave me a hug.

Once I saw her disappear behind the door, I went to Sweet Apple Acres.

Luckily, I found the stallion that I was looking for at the front gate fixing a tractor. "Noble, I need to ask for a favor."

He spoke without turning around, "Braveheart, you already did so much for mah family, all you have to do is ask."

"Okay, I would like to skip work today."

Noble then stopped, turned around with a raised eyebrow and asked, "why would you want to miss work?"

"I want to spy on my daughter during her first day of school."

Noble then stood up, walked over to me and clapped his hand on my shoulder, "Braveheart, remember when you asked me for advice on how to be an over-protective father?"

"Yes."

He smiled, "Ah'd say yer doing just fine. Go."

"Thanks," I then changed into a crow. I noticed Noble staring at me with wide eyes. "What," I squawked. I never talked as anything other than a human or pony, so the voice change caught me offguard. It sounded somewhat scratchy, like what a real crow would sound like. "Whoa, is that my voice? Huh."

"Ah'm never gonna get used to that," Noble admitted.

"It'll just take some time to grow on ya," I said before flying off to the school.

By the time that I had arrived, Nyx's class had begun with my daughter standing at the front of the classroom. I noticed that Spike was standing alongside her. He did say that he attends school. "Alright class, settle down," Cheerilee spoke. "We have new students joining us today. Why don't you introduce yourselves for us?"

"Hi my name is Spike and

"Hello everypony, my name is Nyx. I'm ten years old and my father and I have been traveling before stopping here in Ponyville. I hope we can be good friends."

"Hey, what's your cutie mark," a random student called out.

"Well, I don't have a cutie mark," Nyx replied.

"Oh, so now we have another blank flank!"

Oh no. Please, PLEASE ANYBODY BUT HER! Obviously, I never liked this girl from the get-go.

The voice came from a pink filly dressed in a light-purple shirt and a white skirt that said 'I'm obsessed with bedazzling,' her namesake twinkling in the sunlight. Diamond Tiara. I swear she's like a female Draco Malfoy minus the spell casting. "Ms. Tiara, I don't think that anypony here appreciates your attitude. Be certain to meet with me during recess. Nyx, you can go sit down in between Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle." After she sat down, I saw that Nyx was getting along nicely with the two girls. Feathers crossed that they become good friends.

Eventually, time flew by and the bell rang signalling recess. I flew to a nearby tree to get a bird's eye view (pun intended) and not get noticed as easily.

"I'm telling ya, if Diamond Tiara gives you any trouble in the future, tell me and I'll straighten her out for ya," an orange pegasus filly told Nyx as they came out of the school.

"Thanks Scootaloo, but I'd rather have the adults handle the issue," my daughter replied.

"Oh really, that's sooo reassuring, considering the fact that my daddy pays for almost all of the school funds," Diamond said from behind them, a dark-grey filly standing next to her.

"Why don't ya just back off Tiara," Scootaloo said.

"Or what, you're gonna go cry to your pawents," Tiara mocked.

"Don't you remember Diamond," the filly next to her asked.

"What is it Silver Spoon?"

"She doesn't have parents," Silver cruelly joked. Their joined laughter began drawing a crowd (herd?).

"Actually," Diamond started. "Nyx never said anything about her mother. Please, could you tell us why you didn't say anything about her. Could it be that she couldn't stand the sight of you?" The two began laughing again.

"...I'm adopted."

"I'm sorry, could you say that again?"

Nyx drew in a breath, "I said that I'm adopted. My biological parents threw me out of their house when I was 8. I never knew why they did it, what I do know is that my true father is the stallion that took me of the streets and gave me a family."

And then Diamond Tiara began bitching about Nyx's 'biological parents' and I decided that enough was enough. I began flying my way to the little brat.

Stay on target.

Now that I think about it, I'm never going to see that seventh Star Wars film.

Stay on target.

Of course, seeing said film is no where near as good as the life I have.

Stay on target.

Anyway, what was I talking about before?

IT'S AWAY!

...OH RIGHT! I was talking about how I pooped on Diamond Tiara like a bomber plane.

*SPLAT*"AGH! STUPID BIRD," Tiara screamed. With luck, I hit her just above the forehead. Turned out, my body waste was just like any other birds. Probably worked the same way my voice was altered from my transformation.

"I guess that crow had the right idea about ya Diamond Tiara," Apple Bloom said.

While all the students (minus Silver Spoon) were laughing at Tiara's misery, I noticed that steam was pouring out of her ears. Soon, Diamond Tiara ran away yelling, "WAIT TILL MY DADDY HEARS ABOUT THIS!" Seriously, that is exactly what Malfoy would say.

I decided that it would be best if I were to leave considering that Silver Spoon might come back and throw something at me as revenge for her friend. I flew to the alley nearest to Twilight's library and changed back to a stallion. Then, I walked up to the and knocked.

"In a minute," I heard Twilight say from inside. "Oh, Braveheart. What can I do for you?"

"Well, I wanted to see how my brother was doing. May I come in?"

"Of course."

When I got inside, the first thing that I noticed was Jake sitting at a table, reading what looked like a book meant for little kids. "Hey, watcha reading?"

"Actually... I'm learning how to read. Turns out that while humans and ponies speak the same, the way we write is different."

"Really?"

"Yeah, didn't you..." From that point, my brother's expression went from confused to completely blank, his eyes half-lidded showing his annoyance. "You have some kind of power to help you read, don't you." I noticed that it was spoken as a statement instead of a question.

"Promise me you won't do anything rash?"

"*Sigh* Fine, but you had better not pull any of that Pinkie Promise junk."

"Pinkie Promise?"

"Yeah, I had to make a promise in regards to a pony kissing you while you were asleep."

"...Well, why didn't you just tell me that. I would've left the subject alone."

Jake's shoulders fell, "you mean to to tell me... that I could have avoided that diarrhoea if I told you about the PROMISE?!"

"...Yeah, pretty much."

Moments later, my brother slammed his forehead on the table.

"Anyway," I started, "how is your hand doing?"

Jake held up his right hand, displaying what was once just a glove that was spray-painted silver, now an actual prosthetic. "I had Twilight examine it for me. Turns out that it runs on the magic from the environment, given time I might be able to use it like a wand. Twilight says that if she can reverse-engineer my hand, scientists might be able to use it for future patients."

"Or they could make it into a weapon," I countered. "Never forget how a gun can be both a tool for survival, and an instrument of war. Just be careful who you trust."

"Sure thing bro. So, how was Nyx's first day?"

"I don't know, we decided that she would come here to talk to Twilight about tutoring."

Before Jake could say anything, Luna teleported into the room, "Ah, Nick, just-" Boom! We looked to the side to see that my brother had fainted. He never could take a good scare. Don't tell him I said this, but he once pissed his pants watching Nightmare on Elm Street. Of course, a prank began forming in my head.

I can't believe that I forgot to mention this but when I don't mention a character's outfit, just picture what they wear in the Equestria Girls spinoff. I know it sounds lazy, but I'm just too focused on the story to think about anything else. Exceptions would include Applejack and Rainbow Dash in skirts because of their profesions. Instead just imagine them in jeans. Anyway, tell me what you think about this chapter.
