The common error of the human mind is that the universe is everything when in fact there is an endless number of universes.Flying in the space outside the universes a being moving at a great speed was exiting a yellow universe and was going to the next one.
What should we do when we get to the place? asked the mysterious creature.
'Don't ask me,' replied an irritated voice 'But if you insist follow your instincts.'
"Hmmmmmm........ I guess I'll do that then." replied the mysterious creature.
As the mysterious creature continued its journey there was suddenly a white flash and both voices said in unison "What the FU-"
Meanwhile in ponyville the mane six were having a picnic.
BOOM!
The mane six were startled and turned to see what had happened and saw smoke rising from the Everfree Forest.
"What the buck happened?" Rainbow Dash asked questioningly while looking at her friends.
"I don't know?" exclaimed Twilight "But I have a really bad feeling about this."
"Maybe a fire started in the forest." said Applejack with a hint of concern.The other five gasped at the thought as they remembered that their friend Zecora lived in the Everfree forest.
"I'm gonna get a rain cloud over there and put the fire out before it spreads!" Rainbow Dash said with seriousness in her voice before flying at full speed.
"Rainbow WAIT!" yelled Twilight but Rainbow Dash was already gone "Ugh! Why doesn't she ever listen before acting!"
"C'mon girls," said Twilight "Let's find out what happened."
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!" the creature felt pain on every inch of his body "Damn it! What the hell happened to me and where am I?"
The creature looked at its surroundings and saw there were small fires around him burning out. It soon realized that it was in a crater."Looks like I'm in another planet but why am I here, how did I get here and why has 99.9% of my power been used?" the creature wondered.
"Well I'm not gonna get any answers from sitting around here." the creature pointed out while raising its hand to its mouth "Gonna have to use my titan powers so that I don't pass out." the creature then bit into its hand and BOOM! There was an explosion of lightning and the creature had transformed into a towering 18 meter giant.
Rainbow Dash was bringing a rain cloud to the forest and Twilight along with her friends were making there way to the source of the smoke and they heard another BOOM! The ground shook and as they regained their composure she and all her friends saw something with awe, fear and confusion. A 18 meter giant appeared where the smoke was coming from and it gave out a loud roar.After a few seconds of silence the giant started moving towards them and fear took over.They all ran without a second thought and before they knew it they were out of the forest and back in ponyville where they even found Rainbow Dash."What manner of a beast was that?" shouted Rarity while looking at Twilight.
"I don't know?" claimed Twilight "I haven't read about anything like it."
"Well whatever that thing was it sure don't look too friendly." said Applejack.
"I need to write a letter to Princess Celestia." said Twilight "She might know what to do."
"Wait!Where's Fluttershy" Pinkie spoke with worry.Everyone looked around and saw no sign of her.It hit them like an arrow to the head when they realized that she was left behind.
Fluttershy was just standing there frozen as the creature was making it's way toward her.She had not realized it but tears were streaming down her face.The creature was in front of her and bent down to take a closer look.'A native of this world and judging from its figure,melons on its chest fur on it's body and human like structure it must be a female anthro and a pegasai as well.' the creature thought 'Why is she crying?'
'Maybe she's scared of your ugly face?' replied the voice with delight.
'Dumb ass we both look the same.' retorted the creature.
'Yeah Yeah whatever' said the voice 'I'm taking a nap so don't wake me up.'
'I'll try." said the creature with a little sarcasm.Suddenly a timber jumped towards Fluttershy and as she noticed this the giant had grabbed the wooden beast and threw it back from where it came. Fluttershy was confused,shocked,surprised and a little happy as to what had happened.The creature looked back at her and held out it's hand.Fluttershy was a little confused but realized quickly enough that the creature wanted her to get on.She proceeded to do so with a little hesitation.The creatures skin was warm and this comforted Fluttershy a little.The creature had stood up after she was in it's hand and started walking again.Fluttershy had realized that she had been crying the whole time and proceeded to wipe her tears off her face.She had noticed the creature was walking towards ponyville and wondered why.She looked at the creature's eyes and saw it was moving with a purpose.She wondered what it was an what it was going to do.
"FLUTTERSHY!" her friends had screamed her name which almost caused her to almost fall off.She saw saw them below their eyes filled with horror.Before she could say anything Rainbow Dash had flew in to grab her and safely put her on the ground.Of course she succeeded and as soon as she was on the ground they all hugged her and told her how sorry and worried they were.
Before she had time to say anything Rainbow dash yelled "NOW PRINCESS!" Then there was a loud noise as a yellow blast pierced the creatures chest.Fluttershy watched in horror as the beast stumbled and fell to the ground with blood pouring out the hole in it's chest.Fluttershy looked to where the blast had came from and it had come from none other then a now exhausted Princess Celestia with Princess Luna giving her support to stand.
"Why?" was all that Fluttershy could say after what she had saw.
"Why?" Celestia spoke with confusion as everyone else looked at her with the same feeling of confusion "Because that monster was holding you hostage." she explained.
"It wasn't holding me hostage." Fluttershy spoke with anger in her voice"It was helping me." Now everyone became only even more confused.
"What do you mean?" asked Celestia.
"When a timber wolf attacked me it saved me." Tears forming at the corner of her eyes she looked at the fallen creature she slowly started walking towards the creature and lowered her head to pay her respects. Celestia had a shocked expression and was profusely sweating.Her sister Luna concerned gave her a hug and Fluttershy's friends felt terrible for what they had done.Before they started to go back they heard a growling from the direction of the creature and to their surprise the creature was getting back up.They watched with horror an awe the hole in the creature's chest was healing and eventually closed.The creature then roared at the seven ponies before him.In an instant Fluttershy had come in between and the creature fell silent.
"I know that your mad but please don't hurt my friends" she pleaded "What they did was wrong and I can't forgive them until you do but they are still my precious to me so please."
The creature simply stared at her and after a few seconds of staring the creature stood up and started walking towards the nearby mountain.Soon it was out of sight. Celestia spoke "Fluttershy I-"
Fluttershy simply put her hand up and said "I'm not in the mood to talk." she said while putting her hand down "We can talk tomorrow, right now I want to go home and rest." she then immediately flew into the air and flew towards her house.
"Wow." Rainbow Dash spoke tiredly "We really messed up didn't we."
"Yeah." Pinkie spoke as her mane deflated.
"It seems I owe that creature an apology but for now let us rest." Celestia said.Everyone nodded and soon parted ways to their homes.
The creature was walking towards the mountain saw a cave big enough for it to fit through.It entered the cave and didn't sense any other presences and went in deeper.It saw a light in the cave and investigated.'Holy shit.' was what the creature thought when it saw a large pile of gold and other countless treasures.
'Well I looks like I won't have to work in this world to become rich." the creature thought with delight.
As the creature took a step forward a voice yelled "Who goes there!" the creature was caught by surprise and took a step back.Behind the mountain of treasure a Jet Black dragon with red markings on its body and wings and glared at the creature with its blood red eyes.
"Hmm.... I've never seen something like you." as it inspected the creatures body "What business do you have here."
The creature simply stared and pointed to its mouth."You cannot speak?" asked the dragon.The creature nodded and then pointed at the treasure behind the dragon.
"You wish to take my treasure?" the dragon asked.The creature simply nodded.
"You can understand what I say meaning you are intelligent but if you think you can take my treasure you must be also very stupid." said the dragon with a hint of pride "For I am Astaroth the strongest of the ten dragon generals and next in line to be the dragon king." The creature went into a fighting stance after Astaroth had finished speaking.
"You still want the treasure?" Astaroth said confused "Very well if you defeat me in combat I will allow you to take as much as you want." With that said Astaroth entered his own fighting stance. The two stood still waiting for the other's move and Astaroth took the initiative.He swiped his razor sharp claws at the creatures face,as the claws came closer to the creatures face it dodged most of the attack and only received a scratch.The creature roared and countered by landing a blow on Astaroth's gut.He was pushed back and hit the cave's wall.The creature ran toward him to land another blow but Astaroth quickly dodged the knee he was going to get to the face and countered by biting into the creatures right arm and tearing it off.The creature backed away at this and took a few seconds to regain it's composure.Astaroth was getting ready to attack again but he noticed that there was a large amount of steam coming from where the creatures arm had been ripped off.Upon closer inspection Astaroth saw that the creatures arm was slowly regenerating.
'This thing can regenerate lost limbs!Meaning fire is useless unless I can keep breathing it long enough.' was the thought crossing Astaroth's mind 'This will be harder then I thought.' After the creatures limb regenerated it charged at Astaroth with a speed he could not keep up with and received a mighty uppercut to the face which shook the cave and sent Astaroth flying.Before Astaroth could recover from the blow the creature bit into Astaroth's back and ripped out his flesh clean off. Astaroth screamed in agony and lay in defeat.
The creature stood up and looked at him.Astaroth started to speak "You have defeated me,claim my life and take my treasure." Astaroth silently awaited his fate but to his surprise the creature ignored him and went towards his treasure.What Astaroth saw next baffled him as the creature was eating the riches it rightfully won.After eating a certain amount it looked to Astaroth once more and roared with all it's might.Astaroth was filled with fear from the roar,him a dragon of all things was afraid.The creature then left silently and Astaroth was left wondering what the creature meant from it's roar.He soon realized that it was to put him in his place.He smiled at the realization for some strange reason,he wasn't sure why but he just did.
The creature had reached back outside the cave and saw the sun was setting 'Well I should probably find a place to rest and recover but I'll need to stay hidden' thought the creature.As it looked around it found the perfect opening where the trees and bushes would hide him well and he fit perfectly.The only thing soon clearly visible were its eyes.It closed them and fell into a slumber.
The next morning the mane six went to meet each other in the middle of the town including Princess Luna and Celestia.The last one to arrive was Fluttershy who was not looking at her friends and neither the Princesses.Before they could say anything Fluttershy quietly said with sadness in her voice "I'm sorry" It was barely audible but the other seven heard what she said.
"No we are the one's who are sorry." said Luna with the others nodding in agreement.
"We overreacted and attacked the very creature that saved you." said Celestia "We didn't verify whether the creature would harm us and attacked it, which only angered it if nothing else and we would have died due to our own arrogance if it were not for you." Fluttershy looked towards Celestia and the others and smiled.
"If your really sorry then apologize to him." she said, causing the others to look down.
"How do you know It's a he in the first place?" asked Rainbow Dash curious
"Well It did have a lot of muscle so I would assume it's a male." explained Fluttershy.
"Fair enough."said Rainbow Dash "But enough of that,let's go find him so that we can apologize apologize."
Fluttershy spoke "I don't think we'll have to look for him."
"What makes you say that?" asked Rainbow Dash
"I have a feeling he's going to come to us instead." Fluttershy said
'Mmmmmm.....' the creature opened its eyes seeing the sun in the sky.
'Morning already?' the creature complained 'Oh well might as well get up and go to that settlement I saw and hopefully the two alicorn's won't attack me.' The creature stood up out of it's hiding place and started walking towards the direction of Ponyville. As the creature was almost there at the corner of his eye he saw giants like him coming out of the forest he was in the other day. Though they had different shapes and sizes they were without a doubt the same. The only difference being that their eyes showed nothing but hunger. They were going towards Ponyville and the creature immediatly realized why they were going towards Ponyville.
'Damn it!' the creature yelled in thought 'Why are there Titans here and how did they get here?'
'No there's no time to think, all I need to do is kill the titans and keep those ponies safe.' the creature thought.
'But I won't be able to get there in time at this distance,guess I'll have to get their attention and kill them once they focus on me and then maybe these ponies will welcome me with open arms.' the creature delighted at the thought 'Well here goes nothing.'
The mane six were joyfully talking to each other while walking towards the Golden Oaks library. Suddenly grabbing their attention they saw Titans rising from the everfree forest. Before one of them could say something a voice from behind them said "It seem more of the first one's kind have decided to reveal themselves." They turned around almost at once to see it was Luna with Celestia next to her.
They watched the giants walking towards Ponyville and before they could react one of the taller ones had grabbed a mare and eaten her. Their eyes widened with shock as they were frozen with fear. However Celestia and Luna flew towards the creature firing a barrage of spells while anger masked their faces the giant fell but immediately started to get up once more. The towns ponys panicked and ran the opposite direction. Knowing that their power would prove to be useless against the giant beasts Celestia and Luna retreated along their subjects returning to the mane six.
They yelled at the mane six trying to get them to run as well but they just stood there frozen with shock,confusion,fear and sadness in their eyes. Before they knew they were surrounded by the giants and they were getting closer and closer. Celestia and Luna charged their horns refusing to go down without a fight. Suddenly a roar was heard which Celestia and Luna knew all too well followed by faint steps could be heard that came from something large. They grew louder and louder until the source of the noise was visible Celestia and Luna saw the giant from yesterday running towards them with a determined look. Before either of them could move a giant reaching towards them was met with a fist to the face by the giant from yesterday.This sent the giants head flying along with part of the giants hand that he had used to hit it. The headless giant fell only to start getting up again only to be stomped at the back of its neck by him, it was dead.
Celestia and Luna watched with there moths agape trying to process as to what had just occurred. They were horrified and relieved at the same time also disgusted by his damaged hand but noticed that it had regenerated and become good as new. A giant the same height as his swung its arm at him only for him to grab it and throw the giant towards smaller ones killing them as well. The giants became focused on him and punched the nearest giant three times killing it. There were about a dozen of them left along with one that had yellow glowing veins. His veins started to glow yellow as well as six giants walked towards him from the front.He gave out a roar and unleashed a devastating punch killing all six of them.
His veins were no longer glowing noticing two six meter giants and one giant the same height coming towards him from the left.He kicked the smaller ones and finished the tall one with three punches.Two giants a little shorter than him approached from his backside quickly reacting uppercutting the first one and grabbing the second one by its face and slamming it to the ground. Now the last one remaining was the one with glowing veins.nHis veins started glowing again and gave another devastating punch as he ran toward it killing it instantly. His veins stopped glowing and he looked at the princesses to find then unharmed staring at him.He turned his attention to the mane six to see they were all unconscious but unharmed.
He then fell to the ground face flat surprising the princesses by shaking the ground. They both looked at each other with concern for him and gave each other an approving nod to investigate but before flying off they looked back at the mane six to find that they were unharmed but unconscious. They were glad to see them unharmed and flew towards him with one less worry. Upon arrival they noticed that all the giants bodies were evaporating and so was his but there was something coming out of the nape of his neck. The princesses flew closer to investigate to see a bipedal creature like them with no fur on its body except for on the head where its fur was black, It had round ears on the sides of its heads and wore a long jet black coat and underneath it a jet black t-shirt, It also wore very dark blue trousers with jet black sneakers. Flesh attached to its skin slowly came off as it stood up straight.
It looked towards the princesses and they saw it had crimson red irises and a nose with a triangular shape with a mouth and had white skin. It smiled and turned around walking towards them at a slow pace. It came to a stop at a reasonable distance and stared at the two for a while before finally speaking.
"So you probably wanna know who I am, what I am and why I saved this little town well to answer your question I am Light the first one and as for my species well I am the only one of my kind to exist, the oldest living thing who bore witness to all the creation of everything and being the first living thing there was, I have the blood of an uncountable number of species like it is ridiculous and get this I like get the blood of any new species of which I don't have any blood making me the ultimate hybrid and giving an infinite range of abilities for me to master, I mean I'm getting new blood and abilities without knowing it, also I can reproduce with anything that can reproduce and as to why I saved this town is cuz everyone here is innocent or at least I hope they are and I can't stand watching the innocent die, also if your wondering I'm a dude and there you go."
Celestia and Luna just stared at him with intrigue and slight annoyance as to how much he talked.
"heh, heh, I forgot to mention I'm quite talkative when I'm meeting someone for the first time." he replied with an unfaltering smile.
Celestia spoke "Well Light it is good to know that you are not evil although we will need you to tell us much more for now that is enough."
"Indeed for now let us go to the castle to continue our discussion." Luna said agreeing.
Light nodded as Celestia teleported the three of them to the front door of a castle made of crystal.Light looked at it for a few seconds and commented "Meh, I've seen better and bigger."
The three went inside to be greeted by a large hallway. While the three were walking Light took this opportunity to inspect the princesses. Celestia was wearing a gold and white dress while wearing jewelry and a crown on her head, had golden shoes, had white skin/fur ,with flowing hair with a color of light pink, green and blue. She had wings and a horn also there was a mark on her arm which looked like the sun.
The one beside her shared some similarities. She had blue skin and blue flowing hair which sparkled like the stars. She wore a dark blue dress with black streaks in them and wore black shoes. The mark on her arm looked like a crescent moon.
Before Light could take his inspection any further pain shot throughout his body causing him to fall to his knees and cough up a pool of blood. The princesses noticed this and were shocked. They walked towards Light and helped him to stand up and regain his composure.
"Are you okay?" Luna asked with concern.
"I'm fine just worn out but I'm gonna need to take a nap after were done talking *cough**cough* well what are we waiting for lets get this over with."
Celestia and Luna looked at each other before continuing. They had arrived at their destination a room that held seven thrones six of them which had symbols. One had the symbol of a cloud with a rainbow colored lightning bolt, another with three pink butterflies, another with three balloons, another with three apples, another with three diamonds and another with a star with five small stars surrounding it also next to it was the seventh throne which was smaller and did not have a symbol. In between all the thrones was what looked to be a map of where Light was.
Light couldn't help but be curious about the map but decided to not bother the princesses about it and prolong his much needed rest.Celestia and Luna had sat down on one of the thrones and gestured for Light to sit down as well.He sat down relaxing a little and waited for the first question.
"Well then as for my first question Light is everything you said before true?" Celestia asked.
"That depends on what you think and I told you the truth wether you believe me or not is completely up to you."
"What does your species diet contain?" Luna asked
"I am Omni-voracious and don't worry, I wont eat you or your kind I mean your sentient and that would be totally not cool."
Celestia and Luna smiled at this information.
"Since your abilities are as vast as you say your answer would be never ending so for what purpose have you come here?" Celestia asked.
"Well I was brought here against my own will and it will take some time for me to leave so until then I'm stuck here where ever here is?"
"Ah, to answer that you are in Equestria, also do you have any idea as to who or what sent you here? Celestia asked.
"Well there aren't any that come to mind, I mean if someone or something could do this to me, I would have sensed their presence before they could do anything, I mea I was just minding my own business as lord, savior, protector and manager of the first 1000 universes."
"I see......wait WHAT!"
"What was that you said?" Luna asked.
"That I would sense there presence before they could do anything."
"No after that."
"I was just minding my own business as lord, savior, protector and manager of the first 1000 universes."
"And who gave you that title?" Luna asked while raising and eyebrow.
"God gave it to me."
"And the name of this god is?"
"He has many names but I just call him god cuz its easier and sounds better since he is the one who created everything I mean me, you this world everything was created by him and he didn't just give me the title I earned it for my countless good deeds."
"And how do we know that this god was the one who created everything including me and my sister when we are goddesses ourselves." Luna exclaimed.
"Listen if you can die your not a god or godess especially if you can't create life."
Celestia and Luna just stared at him like he was a madman.
"Okay listen its okay if you don't believe me but as for my title its legit one of the new added secrets to the first 1000 universes says so if you still don't believe me then I can show you the book containing that secret but only that secret and that's it."
Celestia and Luna were intrigued when they heard about the secrets of their universe and gave Light a nod giving him the okay.Light then proceeded and plunged his fist into the air.The princesses were confused at this action until they saw cracks forming and a hole had been created.They couldn't believe it but Light had broken a hole in the fabric of space.He proceeded to put his arm in the hole and pulled out a black book with a white look.Light brought his hand up and summoned a black key and opened the lock.He then gestured the princesses to come towards him snapping them out of their shock they went towards Light and stood beside him.He opened the book to the first page and told them to read.After reading the passage Light closed the book locked it and threw it back in the hole he created which repaired it self within seconds.Before Light knew it the two princesses were kneeling before him begging for forgiveness for their rudeness and the hole Celestia had created in his chest while he was a giant.
"WHAO! Whao! Calm down I knew you would overreact after finding out but I didn't expect it to be this bad." Light spoke with some annoyance.
"But we-" Celestia was cut off by Light "Ah, Ah, Ah! Calm down I'm not one to dwell on the past but if you really wanna make it up to me then answer my questions."
Celestia and Luna nervously looked at each other before standing up and awaited for his questions.
"First of all what are your names?"
"I am Princess Celestia the ruler of the day." She spoke as calmly as she could
"And I am Princess Luna the ruler of the night it is an honor to meet you my lord."
"Alright so I would like to keep my title known to as few people as possible so are there any others who should know who I truly am?"
Celestia thought for a moment before speaking "I believe there are eleven others who should know about you?"
"Very well gather them all here in the meantime can one of you show me towards an empty room I must attend to some 'private' matters also could you tell me what you are and about the various other race?." Light asked to whom Celestia explained him how earth ponies controlled the land with their magic,how pegasai controlled the weather with their magic,how unicorns could channel their magic directly
and how they were Alicorns that were the combination of all three
"Alright now then time for you to gather those eleven individuals."
"Yes my lord Luna I will gather the others you can show him to an empty room."
"Alright please do hurry dear sister."
And with that Celestia vanished in a golden light to who knows where.Luna turned to face Light who had an expectant look and gestured him to follow her to where he could only assume was the empty room he requested.After a few minutes of walking they had arrived.Light walked into the room to find it completely empty.Suddenly there was a poof of smoke and right next to him only to reveal an exact copy of Light.Luna was surprised at this before she could ask Light began to speak.
"Before you ask don't I'll explain everything in due time for now he'll be standing watch outside cos I can't have anyone disturbing me while I'm doing this."
Luna was about to say something but closed her mouth as she decided to save it for later.With that the copy stepped out closing the door leaning back on it started waiting.A large amount of time had passed with an awkward silence.Just as Luna was about to speak the two saw Celestia approaching them with a nervous look..
"Well I've gathered everyone else that should know at the throne room my lord."
"Good let's go."
While they were walking back to the throne room Celestia asked Luna what Light was doing but she could only say that Light said it was private.Celestia thought for a moment and decided to ask but decided to wait instead.Finally after reaching the throne room there were seven mares,one stallion,one dragon and two draconequus one male and the other female.There attention immediately drawn towards the strange being among them except for the two draconequus.
"So your the one that we had sensed earlier now that I'm closer you certainly have more chaos magic than me and Eris combined." the male draconequus spoke.
"Discord and I thought it was another draconequus but realized that we reached the height of our powers as draconequus so it could only mean there was something else with chaos magic and the amount you have is certainly no pushover in fact you could even rule Equestria with a snap of your fingers." the female draconequus said.
At her mentioning his chaos magic the others tensed up, though Light was not bothered by this.
"Discord and Eris was it well since you can sense a little of my chaos magic can you sense something else from me that gives you a bad feeling?" he asked.The two raised an eyebrow and rubbed their chins.
"Now that you mention it I do sense something from you that's not chaos magic and it gives me a bad feeling." Discord spoke
"Care to explain?" Eris asked while both cocked an eyebrow and gave an accusing glare.
"It would be my pleasure to tell you what you sense is order magic." Light answered with a hint of pride.
Discord and Eris just stared at him blankly before bursting out in laughter. "Ha, Ha, Ha Order magic please that's just a myth." Discord spoke while laughing uncontrollably.
"A myth huh, well then affect something with your chaos magic and I'll use my order magic to turn it back to normal and make it so that you can't affect it with chaos magic again." Light said while forming a grin.
Discord and Eris looked at him with amusement as to what he was saying.Before the others could say anything the two draconequus snapped their fingers making the castle into a mismatched bundle of chaos Twilight was about to say something but noticed a golden light forming in his hands. Discord and Eris were confused at first but soon their eyes widened with horror as the realization dawned on them.
"It cannot be." a small whisper from Discord.
Light brought the Golden Light down to the ground covering the castle in it and changing it back to normal. He gave Discord and Eris a smirk of victory but they just stared at him with awe. A being with order magic was a sworn enemy of a draconequus but this one had both chaos and order magic in one body. It should not have been possible yet there he was with chaos magic and order magic both at his disposal.
"Well I told you so and if you still don't believe me just try and do something to this place with your chaos magic." Light said challenging Discord
Discord and Eris were knocked out of their trance and snapped their fingers but only to their dismay nothing had happened. Worry,Fear and confusion started covering their faces as they desperately tried to use their chaos magic to no avail. Soon they came to the realization that there was nothing they could do and stared at Light. Everyone there was shocked except for Celestia and Luna who knew who he truly was. Light ignored the two draconequus and looked around the room to inspect it's other occupants. There was a cyan blue skinned girl with wings, a rainbow mane and tail, wearing a black tank top, short blue jeans, had rosy eyes, two white sneakers and a mark of a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt on her arm.One had orange skin a brown shirt, A yellow mane and tail, short jeans, a cowboy hat, had emerald green eyes, wore brown cowboy boots and had a mark of three apples on her shoulder, one had lavender skin, had lavender eyes, dark purple hair with a pink and violet streak, wore a white shirt and dark blue jeans, she also had both a horn and wings, she also wore formal shoes and on her arm was the mark of a star surrounded by five other stars. Another had a horn, had white skin, had a purple mane and tail, wore a white dress with a necklace, had blue eyes, she wore pearl white high heels and the mark on her arm was of three diamonds. Another was pink, had dark pink hair, wore a white shirt with light blue streaks and a short white jeans, wore pink shoes and the mark on her arm was of three balloons. Another had yellow skin, light pink hair that fell to her waist, wore a light green sweater with a yellow skirt, wore light yellow shoes, had blue eyes as well and three pink butterfly's on her arm. Light concluded they were females and noticed their marks were the same as the ones on the throne and made a mental note to ask about that later.
Continuing his inspection he saw who he assumed to be male had a light and dark mane and tail, wore a purple guard uniform, cyan eyes and had a blue shield on his arms. Next to him was a female who had pink skin, had a mixture of pink, yellow and dark purple in her mane and tail, had wings and a horn as well, she wore a light pink dress, with a yellow trimming on the bottom, violet eyes, pink shoes, she also had a bulge in her stomach making Light assume she was pregnant and had a crystal heart on her arm.Light noticed a shorter figure that looked like a lizard but gave the aura of a dragon. Assuming it was a male he had purple scales, green dagger eyes, a tail, green spines from his back and a yellow underbelly since it was going down his tail. He was wearing a green t-shirt and brown shorts along with sneakers.
Light couldn't tell if he was a dragon or just an overgrown lizard so he decided to ask "Hey you." he said while pointing his finger at spike.
Spike was knocked out of his trance and noticed Light was talking to him "Who m-me?" he replied a little nervous.
"Yeah you are you a dragon or what?" Light asked.
Now it was Spike's turn to be confused and wondered if he was joking or not realized he was serious "I'm a d-dragon why do you ask?" he asked nervously.
"Just making sure." was all he said.
He looked to see if there was anyone else only to find no one.He shifted his gaze to Celestia and Luna who noticed this and looked back at him.
"So you think all of them should know?" he asked earning a nod from the two princesses.
He glanced back at them all once more who were now looking at Light. He looked to the princesses and told them "Tell everyone to get out except for those two." he said looking at the two draconequus.
The others were about to say something but after a simple glance at Celestia and Luna they decided to do as Light had said much to their dislike. After the doors had closed the alicorns and draconequus shared uneasy glances before looking towards Light who gave the draconequus an explanation as to who and what he was which shocked them to the very core.
"Excuse me my lord but if you don't mind me asking why did you ask the others to leave?" Celestia asked.
"Because I think they're to young to comprehend who I am but you are all at least a thousand years old so I thought you could."
The four just stared at him before Celestia gave an "Oh." Not that this reaction wasn't expected by Light for he had met many individuals and seen many things.
"Then what will you tell them?" Luna asked inquisitively.
"I will simply tell them about me being the kind of hybrid I am and will give them some sense regarding my age giving them an idea of how old I am."
The four then looked down as they were in deep in thought.After a few seconds Celestia looked up to address Light "My lord could you please explain to me what those giant creatures were that attacked?" Luna cringed at the mention of giant while Discord and Eris only looked in confusion.
"Why yes those giants are called Titans and as to where they originated from even I do not know,as for their abilities they range from regeneration to no intelligence and there weakness is at the nape of there neck where you have to cut but what bothers me is how they got here since they are not of this world." explained Light
While their regeneration and lack of intelligence worried the two Princesses the part of them not being from this world had caught their attention. "If they are not from this world then how did they get here?" Luna asked eager for an answer.
"I have yet to find out but don't worry I've dealt with things like these before it shouldn't be to hard to handle it so don't worry for now I need to talk to you four about something." Light exclaimed.
The four brought their heads forward a little to listen to what Light had to see "First of all I'm going to erase every memory of me from everyone that has seen me except for you four and before you ask why I'll tell you now it's because I'm curious as to how this village will react to me along with the nine others outside and this is all because I'm very curious and there's nothing you can do to stop me once I've made up my mind so whatever your gonna say will fall on deaf ears." Light explained
The four were simply dumbfounded by what he said and were about to argue with him as to why he shouldn't mess around with others memories but remembered his last statement and so Celestia sighed in defeat while the other three had the same defeated look.
"I'm glad you all understand now I'm going to snap my fingers and send you all to your homes." Without warning Light had sent Luna and Celestia back to their castle while Discord and Eris returned to their own chaotic home.While Light was in the middle of the everfree forest.
"Well time to get movin'."
Outside the throne room stood eight confused ponies with one confused dragon who could not remember why they were there.
"Ugh! It's no use I can't remember why we came here I remember the giants and passing out later Spike woke us up then Princess Celestia sent a later telling all six of us to come here which we did and we met both the princesses, Cadence and Shining Armor and Discord and Eris but after that it's all blank." said a very frustrated Twilight.
"Give it a rest Twilight I'm sure we'll remember eventually." said a calm yet irritated Rainbow Dash
"Rainbow Dash is right darling too much stress is bad for your complexion." said a worried Rarity
"What if it's a super duper important mission that if Twilight fails Celestia will banish her?" exclaimed a hyperactive Pinkie Pie
"Oh dear that would be terrible." spoke a meek Fluttershy
"I doubt that'll happen heck ah bet Twilight will remember before any of us can." spoke a confident Applejack
"I'm sure you'll figure it out Twily I mean your my sister after all." reassured Twilights big brother Shining Armor
"Yeah I mean what's the worst that could happen?" asked Twilight's sister in law Princess Mia Mora Cadenza
Twilight looked at her brother, sister and friends causing her to smile "Thanks every pony I feel a little better now." Just as she had said those words running towards them and coming to a stop an exhausted mare trying to say something.
"*Panting* Monster in *Painting* Ponyville." was what she said before collapsing. The nine had received the message and visibly tensed up.
"Spike take care of this mare every pony else lets go deal with this monster." Twilight said with a serious tone gaining a "Right" from all those that were present and conscious.
It didn't take long for Light to find his way through the forest and to the town and the first reaction he got from these ponies was running and screaming. He was slightly surprised to see that they were so skittish then again this was the first time he had encountered their kind. Occasionally he stopped to look at his surrounding's and get a feel for them.
However that soon came to a stop when he sensed eight familiar ponies approaching him not bothering to look their directly but instead continuing to survey the area.
"Hey monster! Why don't you go back to wherever you came from before I kick your flank all the way to Clouds dale!" yelled a tomboyish voice. Now this caught Light's attention and he looked towards the group with amusement though his face didn't show. They were all glaring at him expecting him to give some form of violent reply but all they got was a smile and a clearly audible "Make me."
They all widened there eyes in shock not expecting to get a reply in the form of words but that's not what shocked Rainbow Dash. No what shocked her was that he challenged her with those two words he had challenged the fastest flier in Equestria, Future Wonder bolt and Element of Loyalty. So she did exactly what you expected her to do. She charged head on to plant her fist into Lights face.
Before she could react Light shouted "Gol Hah Dov!"
A golden aura rushed towards Rainbow Dash and made contact making her glow blue for a moment. She was just flying in midair with a blank expression worried Twilight decided to call out to her "Rainbow are you okay?"
Her only response was Rainbow Dash setting down to the ground. The others were trying to figure out what happened until what they saw next stopped all train of thought. Rainbow Dash had went up to Light and was bowing before him "I am at your command my lord." that statement had only shocked them even further.
Twilight could only stammer at the sight "R-R-R-Rainbow Dash W-W-What are you saying you can't be serious can you!?" Rainbow Dash stood up and turned around to face her friends with a serious expression.
"I'm dead serious Twilight." replied Rainbow Dash causing them all to gasp. Twilight was about to say something but was cut off by Applejack.
"Ya Varmint! What did you do to her!?" Applejack yelled at Light using every ounce of her willpower to stay put.
"Are you sure cos my explanation is no short of an interesting Lecture?" claimed Light
Applejack had it and was about to beat him to a pulp but was stopped by Twilight and said "Go ahead but don't try anything funny." hiding her excitement at hearing 'interesting lecture' also realizing that he would have Rainbow Dash fight against them if they engaged. Nodding Light brought his hands together making a clap sound he began speaking.
"Well you see I used my Thu'um to bend her will and Thu'um translates to Shouts. Also Thu'um is how "shouts" are said in the dragon language, they are an ancient form of magic now obscure use the vocalization of specific "words of power" to create powerful magical effects, usually for offensive purposes. Each Shout is made up of three words. However, one or two words of a given Shout may be used, but the effect is correspondingly less powerful compared to the full force of the word. Dragons are able to master and use them at will, as the sacred language is naturally inborn into their souls from the moment of their creation, when dragons shout at each other with the Thu'um they are actually having a deadly verbal debate though mortals are only able to learn and use them through a long process of meditation and practice of the words. Exceptions to this are rare individuals known as Dragonborn, those who are born with the body of a mortal but the soul of a dragon. Dragonborn are able to intuitively use Shouts and learn them by absorbing the soul of a dragon, and with it the dragon's understanding of the words. As shown during "The Way of the Voice," they can also absorb knowledge from other individuals who have mastered specific words. The Dragonborn is able to use the language of the dragons to great effect, due to their ability to absorb the Souls of dragons. However do not think I simply have the soul of a Dragon, It is only part dragon while consisting of an uncountable number of other races including yours and it continues to grow gaining more and more parts of other races from mother nature herself but despite that I can be called a Dragonborn." lectured Light
His explanation finished he noticed they were all looking at him slack jawed including Rainbow Dash except for Twilight who was busy jotting down what he had said.
"Now then as for your friend Rainbow Dash," he said instantly making them all serious again "I will return her free will if your'e all willing to start over with me on less hostile terms."
That made them all confused. He was saying he just wanted to do things calmly even after one of them attempted to harm him. There was nothing to think about really it was a good offer who wouldn't take it. Twilight thought there was a catch but something inside her told her to accept the offer that nothing bad would come of it and everything would be fine. She gave in to the feeling and accepted. She glanced from her friends to her brother and sister who all gave approving nods.
"Alright we accept your offer." she stated
And as agreed Light had snapped his fingers removing what control he had over her all the while grinning.She looked at him with unease before walking back to her friends.
"Now then I believe introductions are in order." he said gaining the groups attention.
"Okay then my name is Twilight Sparkle and I'm the Princess of Friendship."
"Name's Rainbow Dash and I'm the fastest flier in Equestria."
"Ahm Applejack owner of Sweet Apple Acres."
"My name is Rarity and I am Ponyvilles fashionista so if you ever need any clothes come to me at carousel boutique."
"My name is Pinkie and I'm Ponyvilles super duper party pony that reminds me I still have to prepare your welcome to Ponyville Party."
"I-I'm Fluttershy and I'm Ponyvilles animal caretaker."
"I'm Cadence the Princess of Love and ruler of the Crystal Empire."
"I'm Shining Armor Cadence's husband and Captain of the Royal guard."
Light looked at them with a smile before introducing himself.
"I'm Light and I'm just a guy who loves adventure, learning new things and making new friends."
Fluctuation in Power Chapter 3
Things had started to calm down as Light's new friends had explained to the town that he was not a bloodthirsty animal but sentient just like them. Although they were not completely calm and still a little uneasy after finding out that he eats meat. After a few questions and idle chit chat. When Light had told them about how old he was they all had a hard time accepting it especially Twilight but Light had managed to convince them. Light had asked Twilight if he could stay with her for the time being and she was happy to oblige but shining made a gesture saying 'I've got my eye on you' along with Rainbow Dash and Applejack which Light of course ignored while saying his goodbyes. When they had reached the castle Spike had freaked out and tried to attack Light which was a futile attempt. After some explaining, he had calmed down and apologized which Light accepted. Twilight still had an array of questions and Light answered them to the best of his ability.Hours had passed and when Light had mentioned the time Twilight had decided to wait till tomorrow for her answers and so she showed him to a guest room where he turned in.
Things had been progressing well but that Light was just a clone of the original, what had he been doing this whole time well now you will find out.
The room was brightly lit especially in the center where the original lay unconscious on a surgery table with his entire torso opened up revealing his insides. His ribs lungs and all other parts had small glowing yellow shards stabbed through them all except for his heart which was unharmed. Surrounding him was tables with all kinds of surgical tools and medical equipment attached to him, three figures surrounded him the light revealing themselves as more of his clones.
They were wearing surgeon outfits and looked uncomfortably at their patient. Although they were used to seeing their insides they could not get used to seeing them damaged so they steeled themselves and began removing the shards.
Hours of precise extraction had passed without a hitch.The clones could not help but feel that this was too easy, even with Light's regenerative capabilities helped but his chances of surviving were 50/50 but pulled through without any problems.
As soon as the thought crossed their minds they, the tools, equipment, tables and lights disappeared in a cloud of smoke the merged with Light. Light fell to the floor with a thud remaining unconscious. However, he was soon awoken when he sensed something wrong with him. He channeled his power through his body and found the problem, his power was fluctuating going up and down randomly.
This was not good one bit for if he used his powers in this state the results would be catastrophic and that wasn't the last of his problems since his powers made him immortal and they still do but if his head got and it would be more than ten meters away cut off his body would grow a new one but without the memories of the original. He had to be careful from now on while even if he could use one of his powers at a time his body was more susceptible to harm.
At the same time, he was given an idea as to how he will find out whether he can trust his new friends. It was a reckless idea but the only one he had and effective at that, he would tell them about what had happened to him including the four who know of his title. He was deep in thought trying to figure how long the fluctuations would last and with how fast they were fluctuating he concluded they would last a century. He could delay his job as the manager for that long. When he got up he used what power he could to clean the blood on the floor and while making his way out of the room he realized something.
He had not talked to ark and should have woken up long ago.
'Dark are you there?' he called out mentally.
'.....' no response.
'Dark stop screwing around and answer me.' he said in a stern tone.
'.....' still nothing.
'That's it' Light had enough and so he concentrated and entered his inner world.
Light was in a meadow and it was a sunny day. The sun was shining the wind was blowing against his face and pieces of land were floating and.... wait floating pieces of land. Light was caught off guard by the sight and stared for a moment until he moved on to find dark. In the distance, he saw the city of his mind and started walking towards it at a reasonable pace until an explosion in the city went off. Light stopped walking and started running to his city at full speed arriving there in seconds.
To Light's dismay the skyscrapers in the city were bleeding out a fire while partially destroyed missing a few chunks, the streets were filled with Anarchy where Light's inner people were fighting each other and destroying their surroundings or to be more specific Light's powers were. Before Light was about leave in search for Dark but he heard a scream which sounded very much like his own. Before he could ponder on the thought a figure smashed through a building and landed beside Light.
He looked very similar to Light only his hair was white as was his T-shirt and coat, his sneakers were white as well and his eyes were a very dark shade of blue that challenged the color crimson red.
It was Dark the manifestation of the evil that was within Light. Light was surprised to see Dark lying on his back and bruised no less, he had never seen Dark have a rough time doing something or get injured but these were almost all his powers fluctuating so even Dark would have a hard time fighting his own power especially this many. Dark slowly opened his eyes and sat up rubbing the back of his head murmuring "Man this is harder than I thought." he did not seem to notice Light's presence yet but after a few moments, he looked back at Light.
"The hell you looking at?" was all Light received.
"Good to see you too Dark, it totally looks like you have everything under control." Light replied adding the last part with a bit of sarcasm.
"Shut up! Why are you even here?" Dark questioned Light as he stood up.
"Well I've been trying to talk to you and you weren't answering and now I know why." Light said while turning his gaze to the streets filled with Anarchy.
"Yeah well your gonna have to see me directly if you wanna talk it's gonna take me a century at most to get things back to normal until we can use all of our powers again so until then you can only use one power at a time and you can only use that one power, so if you wanna use a different one you're gonna have to wait until the next date also with these fluctuations our ajin powers won't work for a while so you better be careful and not get us killed." Dark explained with a seriousness which surprised Light since he was usually so laid back.
"Don't worry you can focus on getting our powers back while I focus on keeping us alive." Light spoke with a yawn.
"I'm gonna go to bed now" Light stated
"Whatever" replied Dark as he jumped back into the city.
Light was back in the real world and started walking towards the room in which his clone was sleeping in that had also disappeared. He sighed knowing things would be difficult from now on as he made his way to the bed. As he lay on his bed he could not help but think of the possible situations that could arise for the next century with these fluctuations weighing him down.He had trouble sleeping but eventually he fell into his deep slumber.
The sun shined through the window with rays hitting Light's face urging him to wake up.Eventually, the light stirred him up causing him to lazily get up and stretch his arms and legs making some popping noises.He ran his hands through his hair to return it to its formal glory "Forgot what it's like to be weak." he said out loud to no one in particular.
"Reminds me of the old days." he said as he remembered how he had no control over his powers or how to use them for that matter.
He made his way outside to the hallway and started searching for Twilight 'Guess I'll try the throne room first." he thought while making his way towards there. As he entered the throne room four figures stopped their ongoing conversation and turned their attention to Light, the four were Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight.
'Equestrias rulers all in one place, something must be up.' he thought as he noticed the scowls on the four rulers faces. The room went silent and there was a cold feeling in it.
"Why did you do it?" Cadence spoke up breaking the ice.
"Do what?" Light knew what she was talking about but decided to mess around a bit.
"You know what I mean, you erased mine, Shining's, Twilight's and her friend's memories." she replied with irritation.
"Yeah that was me alright and as for why I did it well... I wanted to see how you all would react." said Light. This got a questioning look from the four so Twilight decided to press on.
"But why did you wanna see how we reacted?"
"Well first impressions are important and the only things keeping you or your friends from attacking me were these two." he said gesturing towards Princess Celestia and Luna.
Cadence and Twilight took a second to think about what he had said and looked down on the ground.
"Then again I suppose there was no actual reason for me to do what I did." said Light.
"And so I apologize and won't do something like that again also there is something I need to talk to you four and the others about in private and uhhhh.... please don't tell the others." Light said pleadingly at the last part.
The four alicorns looked at each other and discussed in hushed whispers which Light could hear as clear as day and so they nodded. Light was pleased and told them to meet him in the throne room at roughly 2 'o' clock. While Light waited he decided to help Dark get his powers back to normal which sped up the process by a few hours. The mane six along with Spike, Shining Armor and Cadence arrived a little early and were quickly followed by the solar and Lunar alicorns along with the two draconequus as they were trying to get Light's attention. Light stood up and grabbed the groups attention.
"Now then your all probably wondering why I called you here well that's because I have something to tell you and it's important so promise me you that what I'm about to tell you won't leave this room." he said with a demanding voice. They soon did a few gestures along with some words that followed their gestures. Light raised an eyebrow at this but decided not to press the matter.
"Well then I'm sure you all already know about how powerful I am." This was a followed with nods from the group.
"Well you see I have weakened greatly and become vulnerable to beings that were weaker than me, not many of them but enough to be quite problematic." he stated. Discord had raised his hand to ask a question.
"Yes Discord?"
"How weak have you gotten exactly?" Discord asked. Returning the groups attention to Light.
"Well not weak enough for you, Eris, Celestia, Luna, Cadence and the Elements of harmony combined to beat me." Light said smirking. Discord, Eris, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor and the mane six were disappointed but they had expected this of someone this powerful.
"Wait how did you know we were the Elements of Harmony?" Twilight asked which was a good question.
"Yes well I used my powers to look into the past of this world and now know everything I know need to." Light replied which didn't surprise the group as much as he thought but he expected it since they had an idea on how powerful he was.
"That is all so you may proceed to go about your business." Light said.
The group said their goodbyes as the draconequus left to do who knows what, the royal sisters left for their duties at the castle and Cadence and Shining Armor left for the same reason. Twilight wanted to ask Light more questions but had a lecture to prepare for tomorrow, Rainbow Dash had weather duties, Applejack had chores to do at her farm, Rarity had to fill orders for her clients, Fluttershy had to take care of her animal friends and Pinkie Pie had said something about a welcome to Pony Ville and Equestria party which Light convinced her to hold until tomorrow because he was tired after becoming weak. Afterwards Light returned to his room and rested on his bed. To the ordinary individual it would seem he was resting when actually he was using his powers to find where the titans had come from.
'The only way those titans could have gotten hear was through a rift in Dimensions and the only thing that could open a rift is a tear but I would have sensed it so that can only mean something or someone else is responsible for that rift. Now I wonder where... Oh! Found it.' Light thought as he felt a rift in the everfree forest.
'Well the faster I close it the better.' Light thought as he teleported to the rift. The teleportation had put an unfamiliar strain on Light which could be easily dismissed but it bothered him knowing that such a small distance caused him even a little strain.
'Huh I can use my other powers but in exchange for pain if i'm to use them properly, I'll have to get used to that for the next century.' Light thought.
He decided to dwell on his thoughts later as he brought his attention to the rift in front of him. He brought his hands close to each other and in between them a red ball of lightning had formed. Light felt an unfamiliar sensation throughout his body and a warm liquid coming out of his eyes, nose and ears. He soon recognized the sensation as pain and the warm liquid as blood but he ignored it and spread out his hands tracing the red lightning around the rift closing it at a moderate speed. As soon as it was about to be completely sealed Light saw something come out the rift and saw it land beside him. He looked at the figure that was unconscious and noticed his clothing was black and looked Japanese, he had orange hair and a large sword which looked like a overgrown kitchen knife. Light recognized the figure.
"Ichigo" he muttered quietly. Light stared at him for a moment before realizing the strain of closing the rift and falling on one knee.
"This day keeps getting better and better." Light said sarcastically to no one in particular.
"Well gotta take care of him until I'm a hundred percent, I mean how bad could it be?" Light pondered.
"Guess I'll pretend I don't know him, can't be having him find out that I know about him from an anime called Bleach I watched on another Earth." as he wondered how he would react to discovering that.
"Hopefully no other anime character shows up, I already have enough on my plate." Light said while carrying Ichigo on his back. Unfortunately he did not know that others were guaranteed to show due to an unknown force behind the scenes.
Light teleported back to his room in the castle wincing from the strain and laid Ichigo down on his bed. Using his powers he cleaned the blood on him and made his own bed. He looked back at Ichigo and kept his gaze on him for quite awhile. He used his powers to find out exactly when he would wake up.
'Okay the he'll be awake right after I wake up that's good I'll be able to keep any misunderstandings from happening or any other bad stuff.' Light thought as he yawned.
'When I find whoever is opening these rifts I'm gonna give' em a piece of my mind.' Light thought before falling asleep.
Above the Everfree forest a white hooded figure was floating in the sky and watched the castle in which Light slept.
'All according to the plan.' the figure thought while grinning before disappearing into the night.
