Equestria's Unexpected Hero

Twilights Library: Yasheen’s Room

P.O.V: Yasheen

I wake up to the feeling of something soft that I feel under me. I look around to see that I am in my room. This confuses as the last thing I remember was meeting Princess Celestia then she attacked me and…...A sharp pain runs through my head as I try to remember what happened after that.

“AHHHH that hurts so much” I complain as Twilight enters my room and quickly rushes to my side making me sit on my bed.

“Are you Ok Yasheen? Do you need anything from me?” She asks.

“Headache…please…help…” I barely manage to say as I start losing consciousness.

“Oh right sorry” She says as she places her right hand on my forehead and her horn glows for a bit then I feel no more pain.

“Ahhh that is much better, thank you very much Twilight” I say with a smile but then realize that she has wings which match her coat colour. I stare at them for a while before I ask.

“Uhm…Twilight, since when do you have wings?” I ask as I still stare at them.

“Oh well you see, after Princess Celestia Shot you with that beam, you flew so far that I think you landed in Everfree Forest, so the mares and me decided to go back to PonyVille and start looking for you but just when I returned home, Celestia sent me a book by a powerful unicorn known as StarSwirl the Bearded. So I thought that he might have made a spell in tracking, so I went through the book until I found a spell that sparked my interest, I said the words for the spell and nothing happened…or so I thought…what that spell did was switch my friend’s talents around so I went through town sorting it and when they all had their right cutie marks in place, I ascended into Alicorn form” She said with a smile.

I stare at her in shock” …And all this is normal I suppose?” I ask.

“Well not really but you get used to it, now are you ok to come down and see everyone, they have all been worried sick about you. Especially Spike” She said as she woke up from my bed and walked to the door but stopped and turned back to me and smiled before going back down.

I stand up a bit and stretch out, I go to the bathroom across the hallway for a quick bath and then I returned to my room and changed in to a navy blue Polo shirt and black tracksuit. I headed downstairs but immediately as something with in my mind was telling me to get my sword. So I walked back into my room and found it laying on the floor by the foot of my bed. I picked it up and strapped it to my side and it was becoming a challenge placing it on my back with wings in the way. So then I headed downstairs to see the girls and Spike sitting in the lounge by the fireplace. They all saw me and jumped from their seats and hugged me in a super-fast manner. It was pleasant but it was beginning to become difficult to breath.

“Let go!!” I screamed and they all immediately let go.

“Are you ok Yasheen?” Fluttershy asked in a very quiet voice which I was barely able to register.

“Yes I am fine Fluttershy, now did I miss anything while I was away?” I asked to only receive shocked looks from all of them.

“Are you serious right now, you were missing for two days and you act as if it was nothing!” Rainbow Dash asked as she smacked the back of my head.

“No need to get violent Dash, I am alive aren’t I?” I asked to which I received silence.

Then Spike spoke up.” Yasheen, it’s good to see that your alive” He said as he claw/fist bumped me.

“Of course Spike, it takes a whole lot more than me to be gone missing to be killed” I said as I returned the fist bump.

“So can we get something to…” My sentence was cut short as there was a knock on the door.

“I’ll get it” Spike said as he went to the door and opened. Immediately after he did, he gasped and bowed.

I quickly drew my sword and waited for the so called nice princess to enter the door in case she wanted to attack me again. What did come through the door in fact shocked and surprised me. It was Princess Luna.

“Spike the Dragon, please rise, we need not you to be formal with us” She said as she bent down to help Spike up.

“I know Princess, it’s just a force of habit” He replied with a smile.

Princess Luna looked around the entry way of the library and saw everyone gathered here. Then she spotted him, the one who showed praise for the night and the moon as much as she did. They stared at each other for a while. Yasheen even sheathed his sword and walked towards her slowly to which Luna did the same thing. They stopped when they were a few centimetres away from each other. The tension in the room was so thin in the room. Everyone was nervous as to what was going to happen now, would it be the same as what happened in the Canterlot or would there be a different outcome to this. This standoff lasted for a minute or so until Yasheen decided to say something.

“I met your sister” He said as he stared in to Luna’s eyes.

“I know, it was quite a story she told me, you handled the Day Guard like they were nothing then get stabbed by sister and blasted out of Canterlot.” She said as she folded her arms.

“The so called Guard was nothing and your sister only got me there was because I was not expecting it from her, Next time will not be so easy as she thought” Yasheen said with a smirk.

“Well I am just glad that you are okay after all that” She said as she hugged Yasheen.

“Do not worry Luna, it would take much more than to get rid of me” Yasheen said as returned the embrace.

Everyone in the room was relieved and surprised at the same time. They did not want to witness a fight right now. They were surprised that they both act so casually with each other.

“Excuse but I think we all have missed something, how do you two know each other?” Dash asked as she looked at us.

“Oh right, well she came to me in my dream and since I have a little control over them, me and her were able to talk and become friends” Yasheen said as he let go of the embrace, much to Luna’s dislike.

“Well let us go the lounge so we can sit down and chat” Twilight said as she led us to her lounge which was quite large. Yasheen thought it was to accommodate her friends when they came over. There were three large sofas and a coffee table in the middle which was a top a nicely patterned rug which was all in front of a fire place. The fire place surprised Yasheen because they were living in a tree so wouldn’t it burn down.

“Wait, won’t this place burn down because it is made of wood?” Yasheen asked as he pointed towards the fireplace.

“Well logically thinking yes it would but I placed a fireproof spell around the fire so it would not spread to the rest of the library” Twilight answered as she sat down on the couch to the left.

The rest and all took a seat. Pinkie and Fluttershy joined Twilight on the left couch. Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash sat on the right couch. Yasheen, Luna and Spike on the middle couch. Everyone was dead silent, no one said anything. Somehow they all found the floor very interesting. Yasheen started to get bored of this though and decided to spark a conversation.

“So to avoid what I heard is called awkward silence, what happened while I was gone for two days?” Yasheen asked.

“Well” Luna started” Since thee were able to defeat some of the Day Guards, Celestia decided that they required training, so they might be better for thee” She finished.

Yasheen snickered “Well we will see if it makes a difference but we have more pressing issue, I am so hungry right now.” He said his stomach made a rather loud grumbling noise.

The girls giggled and quickly left the room. This confused Yasheen and Luna but Spike had a knowing smirk. Yasheen decided to ask.

“Seems like you know something, spill it” He said.

“Don’t worry about it, you will enjoy it” Spike said as he also left the room and motioned for them to follow to which they did.

“Do you know anything about this?” Yasheen asked Luna.

“No, we are just as confused and curious as thou art” Luna responded back.

They followed Spike until they reached a door to which they could hear voices behind. Spike told Yasheen to stay here while he and Luna entered and shut the door.

5 Minutes later

Yasheen P.O.V

“Hm I wonder what is going on in there” I said as I gazed at the door.

“Wait, isn’t this the dining room” I thought as I further analysed my surroundings of the hallway.

“You can come in now Yasheen” I heard Luna call from the door.

I opened the door to eye something that made my mouth open wide and drool. I can could only say one word.

“Food” I said

I saw all them lined up with proud smiles. Seems that they cooked all of it. As I scan through the various foods, I saw some familiar ones. Pancakes, different cupcakes and cakes, sandwiches of different kinds, salads, even a nicely cooked fish.

“I thought you all are herbivores?” I asked as I sat down to which everyone else did.

“I made the fish” Spike said with a prideful tone.

“Enough talk, you are probably starving now Yasheen, so dig in and enjoy yourself” Rarity said as she sat down.

I was no time as I began eating the pancakes like no tomorrow, then I moved on to the fish and ate most of it, then to some of the cupcakes which Pinkie said she made. Finally had some salads to finish it off.

“Well… that was most enjoyable, you all have my thanks…… Excuse me” I said as I burped.

The girls looked at me in shock. Even Spike was surprised at how much I ate. Nearly all the of the food was devoured by me.

“What” Was all I ask.

“We did not expect you to have such an appetite, that’s all” Twilight said as she started levitating the plates followed by the rest of girls cleaning up.

I offered to help but they politely refused, saying that I should take a break since I had so much food. Luna had already left seeing that she needed to get back to the castle for some well needed rest to prepare for night court. Spike left to help as well, leaving alone to find some way to keep me from getting bored. I got out of my seat and was about to leave the room.

“That was most enjoyable” A voice said from behind me. A voice that I know all too well.

I turn to face my dark self. “Shadow” I said as I approached him. He was sitting on the same chair that I was sitting on when I was eating. I pull a chair and sat in front of him.

“So now your powerful enough to appear when I am awake” I said as I looked deep in to his lifeless eyes.

“Appears it is true, so it’s just a matter of time before I am free and can lay waste to this and all other dimensions in the multiverse” He said as he laughed in a sinister way.

“That dream I had that night before, was it your doing?” I asked.

“Hm, you mean that one where we were laying waste to this pitiful village and killed those two ponies?” He asked back.

I was gritting my teeth” Yes, that one” I said.

He laughed “Why yes it was my doing, I gave you a sneak peek as to what we will do” He said as he grinned.

“Do not think that we would work together anytime soon” I said as I stood up knocking the chair back but quickly catching it.

“Oh you say that now, but what happened in dimension 22” He said with smirk.

Then the realisation hit me” Wait that was your doing!” I said was trying to think of how the event unfolded.

“Correction, our doing”Shadow said as he had a devious smile pasted on his face

Flashback: Dimension 22

Event: Planet Q’s Destruction

3rd Person Mode

A war was raging through Planet Q as 4 races battled for dominance of the planet. Necron lords already dominated half of this dimension’s galaxy. Orks were just in it for the war which they enjoyed too much. The Imperium’s Space Marines were trying to drive back the Necrons in order to at least push them back and gain the planets resources. Finally came the Holy Warriors, one of the many powerful units in the Dimensional Fighters army. They were winged warriors with centuries of war-like experience. Among them was a warrior who was sent here to lead them to victory and bring balance back to this dimension. This warrior was Yasheen Shadow, commander of the Holy Warriors.

Location: Holy warriors’ HQ

3rd Person Mode

A soldier rushes through the damaged hallways as it was crumbling down ever so slowly. Passing this scout were troops, who looked similar to that of the Space Marines but all white, carrying golden illuminated blades in one hand and custom made guns in the other. All rushing to the outside of the headquarters trying their very best to defend it. The scout entered the main room where only one person sat there trying to develop a way to push back the Orks.

“Commander Shadow!” The scout said as he saluted.

“Report soldier” Yasheen said as he analysed the holographic map displaying the battle.

“Well sir, we have managed to push the Orks back for now but the Necrons have arrived and their Monolith has awakened” The scout said.

“Damnation, we will lose this battle at the rate we’re fighting” Yasheen said as a holographic image of the Necron Monolith and its forces marching towards the Holy Warriors base.

“Might I suggest something sir?” The scout said.

“Proceed soldier” Yasheen responded.

“I would say that a tactical retreat is in order sir, we need to regroup and reconsider our tactics” The scout said.

It made sense, if they were to retreat to their base back on the Planet Holy WarFare then they might have a chance to find out how to defeat the Necrons and the Orks and might be able to make peace with the Space Marines.

“Ok, have the troops begin evacuation immediately, Go!” Yasheen commanded and the scout left to begin the evacuation orders.

Yasheen P.O.V

“…Yasheen…” I heard my name being called in an echo like manner but I did not see anoyone in the room. I reached for my sword, drew it and took a readied stance.

“Who goes there?” I said as looked around the room.

“…You need my help…” It said.

“Who are you first then maybe I’ll consider your help” I responded to the voice.

I heard the mysterious person sigh.” Fine I am you” It said.

“Lies!” I yelled as rapidly looked around.

“Don’t believe me, ok relax your mind so I can show you” The voice said.

“What will you do?” I asked as I placed my sword back in its sheath.

“Just show you myself and how I am another version of you” The voice replied.

“Ok gimme a minute” I said I calmed my mind.

“Good…good… and NOW!” The voice shouted as I lost control of my body. I tried to take control back but it was proving to be difficult.

“Ahhh that’s much better… now to lay waste to this Dimension, starting with this planet” The me who took over said as he stretched out and walked out the room.

The base was already empty, devoid of all Holy Warriors. All that was left were the Orks and the Necrons battling it out.

“Pitiful, these races do not even know what is about to happen to them” He said as he laughed walked around and pulled my blade, looked at the reflection and sheath it.

“LET ME OUT! ” I yelled out as I tried to get out of this cage in my mind.

“It is of no use Yasheen, I made that cage impenetrable, you are going to need a miracle” He said as he began blasting both forces with energy beams. All Orks and Necrons were being obliterated, neither race could stand up against me. The Necrons though, their Monolith was putting up quite a valiant display of fighting but it was made seem as nothing as He blasted it with a large energy beam.

“Alright, now dis is what I call a waarrgh!” The leader of the Orks, Warlord Gorgutz , shouted as he blasted some Necrons with his gun.

“Hm, He seems to enjoy war, might be useful” The one who took control of my body said as he blasted a few more Orks and Necrons.

“Boss, We’z getting shot up” An Ork said as he was shooting his gun alongside the Warlord.

“Well you the master of the obvious, let’s get out of here!” The Warlord shouted as his Orks Fled in to their ships.

“Ahhhh what joy it brings me to destroy things but this grows tiresome, let’s move on” He said as he flapped my wings and flew out of the planet’s atmosphere. Thankfully I can breathe in space.

He flew a small distance from the planet. Spread my hands wide and began to gather energy until two energy balls. When that happened, he brought the balls together, which merged into one and pointed the ball straight at the planet.

“Dãkubìmu! (Dark Beam)” He shouted as a large red energy beam descended upon the planet.

The red beam collided with the planet and a large explosion occurred as a result. Pieces of the Planet flew right past my body as he laughed.

"Wow look at the destruction,Simply Marvellous" He said as he marvelled at his work.

While he was busy enjoying that. I was still trying to get out of this prison mind... While looking around I spotted a loop hole in the cell. I came to the assumption that when he uses large amounts of Ki, he drains his power a bit.

"This could be my only chance, better go now!" I said as I jumped in to the loophole, gaining control of my body again.

"Aaww is it over already, well it was fun while it lasted" He said as his voice faded.

I felt the control of my body grow until I fully regained control. ”Well that was… should I say effective or idiotic” I said as I looked at the pieces of rock floating around me.

“My master will not be pleased with this” I said as I rubbed the back of my head.

End of Flashback

“What a wonderful memory, no?” Shadow said as he relaxed on the chair.

“It is not a very fond one for me, I was only like 150 years old that time, still so immature and gullible” I said.

Just then a call of my name caught my attention.”Yasheen, there is somepony here to see you” Luna called out to me.

“Be right there… we will discuss this at a later time ” I said as I turned to see that the seat was empty.

“Hm… so he is able to appear when I am awake now, it is only a matter of time before he can take over my body again…I need to start training again” I thought as I strapped my sword and left the room.

Now let me go see who is at the door…
