I was The Wanderer: Brothers of The Wastes

Jess/Jace

10 minutes ago

I poked at the fire I made a bit and watched as it flicked on the cave walls. I looked outside to the blizzard as it rage on. Great, finding him will be hell now. I looked down and eat some of the snow rabbit.

‘Jace are you sure you're okay?’ I heard a voice come out of nowhere but since I knew who it was I didn’t move.

“I’m fine Jess, stop asking.” I saw a shimmer and Jess appeared in front of me. She looked worried.

“Jace it been four months since the wedding-” She began but I stopped her with a glare.

“I told you before it’s not that, I have to do this to pay off that debt.” I told her. She crossed her arms and frowned.

“Paying off the debt with Lady black is risky, we’re out in the middle of nowhere in the North! Come on, send them a letter, I don’t think they would be mad-” I  again glared at her.

“It’s not that they would be mad, I have to do this.” I looked down at the fire as I felt the pain again. “I won’t be able to face her if I didn’t.”

“Ugg you know it’s hard to argue with you, not only we are the same, but right now we look the same, this is so weird.” I snorted at her. I sat there for a moment until I heard a voice that I didn’t know.

“How does this stupid thing work? Do I press a button on it or say a phrase?? How much would this thing sell for?” I blinked as the portal opened. I frowned at it and thought on maybe skipping on this one. I eyed it a bit more and frowned.

“This better be worth it.” I got up and walked through the portal.

I walked through the portal and saw that I was in a cottage. I saw that there was animals around. I also saw a big bear staring at me. I looked down and saw a griffin on the ground staring at me. He seemed familiar also he looked funny since he had a shocked look.

“I've seen some shit before but this takes the cake.” He said. I raised a brow at him.

“Yeah well get used to it,” I said as I glared at him. “I also don’t like the fact that you were going to sell my token.”

“And what are you going to do about?” He said as I noticed that his eyes weren't the same. His left eye was more mechanical with a red glow while right eye was normal and blue. Not taking chances I felt my red mana sparked and before he could blink I blurred forward and kicked him to get him facedown on to the ground. I grab his arm and pinned it to his back. I heard a ‘Eep’ sound and looked up to see a pink and yellow shape run out of the front door and a bear laughing his head off.

“Now you better say something that won’t piss me off more, I’m having a really bad day.” I told him.

“Boohoo, Like I give a shit.” He sneered. I rolled my eyes and with my other hand grab his head and slammed it a few times into the floor.

“You were saying.” I deadpanned. He groaned a bit.

“I repeat my last statement, like I give a shit.” He said, his tone wasn't of pain or agony but one of a calm-ish person. I looked and saw that half of his body was made out of metal. I place my hand on the metal and sent a lighting bolt through him. He tensed up for a bit.

“You'll need to try harder.” I narrowed my eyes and felt my eyes go dark.

“Well, there goes my normality, right out the window.” I heard someone said. I looked up and saw Steel. I blinked at him. What the??

“Steel? Is that you?” I asked him. He looked at me for a minute.

Twilight looked at him with a questioning look.

“Twi, I'm just as confused as you are.” He said. I looked at him and thought of what I said before.

“Come on Steel you should know that I’m an ass and there’s nothing could take that away.” I said to him with a grin. I heard a snort from the guy that I pinned and using a giant growth spell I punched him in the head. His head made a hole in the floor. Whoops.

“Before anything, could you please get off of my little brother?” He asked. I blinked at him and looked at what is to be his little brother.

“Can I punch him again, he kinda pissed me off.” I told him.

“No, that's my job.” He said.

“Alright.” I pulled him up as I stood up. “Then you do it.” I said as I pushed him to Steel.

“What did you do?” Steel asked with a straight face.

“Nothing! I just wondered if I could sell the damn token for a good price.” The younger brother said.

“You get one free pass, but if I see shit happening like this with you, then you have to clear up a nest of Deathclaws.” Steel said, making his younger brother pale a bit. I got a chuckle at that.

“So how you been Steel?” I asked him.

“Could've be better but what can I do?” He answered as the front door opened and Scootaloo walked in.

She saw me and walked up behind Steel. I frowned a bit and looked away from her.

Steel saw this and turned around to pick her up.

“Come on, Scoots. You shouldn't hide from our guest.” He said to her. I looked at them and looked at her and gave her a smile.

“Hey there.” I said to her. She stared at me for a minute and give me a smile. I stared at her and saw a flash of memory. The look of Scootaloo looking scared. I gasp and took a step back.

“You ok?” Steel asked. I looked at him and saw Twilight standing beside him. I felt the memory coming back and I look away.

“I’m fine, I just… I just need some air.” With that I ported out.

Steel

“Well that happened.” I said out loud, earning a growl from Harry.

“Shut up, Harry, you're a wizard.” I said to him only to receive another growl and I almost broke out laughing.

“What did he say?” Twilight asked. Fluttershy stepped in and answered her.

“He said, I'm not a wizard I'm just Hairy.” Fluttershy answered. Of course Twi didn't understand but Sal did and so did I.

I shook my head and let Scoots down.

“I'll be right back and you..” I said, pointing at Salvador.

“Clean this up while I'm gone.” I said as I walked out the door and followed the negative emotions.

Where is she/he? I looked around for Him/her. Ugg this is giving me a headache. I followed the negative emotions throughout town. Normally it would be easy but she seemed to teleport all over the place. I was about to head somewhere when I hear an explosion. I turned to see smoke coming from the Everfree.

I headed towards the direction of the explosion as another went off. After running there I saw her staring up to the sky and saw a rock launches itself off the ground and her shooting a bolt at it. She didn’t seem to notice me.

“What's going on with you?” I asked with my arms crossed. She didn’t even turn to me.

“I don’t know what your talking about.” She said as another rock is launch.

“Don't even try, I'm a living emotion detector, so spill it. The sooner you stop emitting the negative emotions, the less it'll affect Chrysalis’ kids.” I said to her. I saw her twitched a bit. One of the rocks stopped mid air and fell.

“How are they? I didn’t know if sending them to another world would work.” She said.

“They're fine, a bunch of trouble makers yes but they're just learning what's right and what's wrong.” I answered. I frowned at her. “Stop going around the problem.” I heard her mutter something.

“What was that, I didn’t hear you.” I asked. She didn’t say anything. She turned and I had a second to duck as a blast shot out at me.

“The Hell!” I yelled. I looked at her and was about to attack her but she started screaming.

“DAMN IT!!!” She punched the ground sending a shock wave through it. She did that a few more times.

“DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT!!” I ran forward and grabbed her arm.

“Will you stop! I don't need another town meeting to explain this.” I said. I then felt her shaking.

“Why… I have all this power but I can’t protect anyone.” I then saw something that I never saw. This lady who I knew as Jace was crying.

“Will you talk now?” I asked as I sat down on the dirt. We didn’t talk for a bit.

“She died, Steel.”

“Who died?” I asked as I laid down.

“Twilight, my worlds Twilight and there wasn’t anything I could do.” She said. I stared at her for a bit.

“Hmmm.” I hummed out in thought.

“Yep, I got nothing to say but I'm sorry.” I said to her.

“Though, I'm sure that she wouldn't want you to be consumed in rage.” I added afterwards her. She shook her head.

“I was tired, I just got back from Canterlot after Chrysalis attacked.” She snorted. “Pain in the ass nazi vampire went and brainwashed them to attack just to kill me, if it wasn’t for my friend the whole place would of been rubble.” She started to shake again. “We just got back to Ponyville and everything was fine until he showed up and killed Twilight.”

“Alright, but tell me this. Why were you covered in snow and don't leave anything out.” I said to her. She looked at me.

“Vlad, after he killed Twilight I didn’t know what to do, I could bring her back so I did something in the moment, I tapped into the black mana and made a deal.” I frowned at her.

“With Death.” I guessed. She shrugged.

“I don’t know, all I know is that her name is Lady Black and she’s creepy as hell, so you could say that she's Death, anyway I made a deal with her and gotten overpowered with black mana and went after Vlad.” She looked up to the sky.

“First off, I'm sorry. Second, you need to chill out, fighting blindly with Rage will only make things worse.” I said to her. She started laughing.

“That’s just it, it wasn’t rage I was in, Vlad is a bastard and if I was in a rage I would of went red demon, no this was something else, something personal.” She said.

“Well keep it to yourself until you get back. I can't handle another meeting, especially today.” I said. She started laughing.

“Oh Maker I missed you, I’ll give you a quick version, I turned into death incarnate and went after Vlad, I found him and did the impossible.” I looked at her for a moment.

“And that is?” I asked. She looked at me for a bit.

“Vlad was an immortal, nothing could kill him but I ripped out his immortality and switched it with a bit of Twilight's spark of magic.” I sat up as she said that.

“You ripped his immortality out of him, and replaced it with…” I stopped as she nodded.

“It was the only thing I could do, I put his immortality in Twilight and it revived her and my friend killed Vlad,” She frowned a bit. “I think.”

“So what happens next?” I asked her.

“The black mana disappeared and I took Twilight back to her home and I left.” She looked down to the ground. “I couldn’t face her for what I did, she didn’t do anything but she payed for my mistake.”

“What did she lose.” I asked her. She looked at me with bloodshot eyes.

“She lost her magic, Twilight the bearer of Magic the element of harmony can’t use magic and it’s my fault.” She looked away from me.

“I took away her magic, the thing she lived for her whole life and I took it away.” She said. I put my hand on her shoulder.

“Jace…” I began but she stopped me.

“Jess, it’s the name I go by when I’m in this form, it avoids confusion.” I stared at her and shook my head.

“Jess, Twilight wouldn’t hate you for that, you saved her life and she would be grateful because of it.” I told her. She shrugged a bit.

“So now back to my question, Why were you covered in snow?” She chuckled at me.

“Remember I made a deal with Death, since I saved a pure soul I need to go and save a darkened soul and the one I need to save lives up in the frozen north.” She told me.

“North, north. Hmm.” I said out loud before releasing a loud animalistic roar, receiving a roar in return as I heard trees being pushed out of the way. Jess looked at me for in surprise.

“Okay…” She said. I held up my hand as a tiny magma skinned Deathclaw ran out of the trees and stopped in front of me.

“Meet Stripe.” I said as I gestured at The Magma Deathclaw.

“Hi…” She said.

“He can help you track the one you're looking for, but you'll need something else and it helps you with actually telling him what to do.” I said to her. Stripe stood there waiting patiently as the ground under him burned.

“I thank you for the offer but I have a pretty good idea on where he is, I just have to deal with monsters between him to me. Though he might help with taking them out.” She said.

“He'll help but you need blood of the Alpha Omega Deathclaw.” I said as my ears folded onto my head.

“Do you have anything sharp?” I asked her. She flicked her wrist and a dagger appeared.

“Thanks.” I said as I poked my thumb with enough force to make it bleed. I then smeared it on Jess’ arm.

“Umm ok, why are you doing that?” She asked.

“I am The Alpha Omega and it's either this or kill me. I'd rather live if you don't mind.” I said as Stripe now walked up to Jess as it stopped burning the ground.

“Now it sees you as it's master, in a way.” I said. Jess looked at the Deathclaw and smiled.

“Well I could use the help, fighting ice monsters can be a pain.” She said as she put her hands into her pockets. She now looked at me. “So, you have a brother?”

“Yeah, Yeah, You couldn't tell by the fact that we're two different species.” I said to her as Stripe curled up next to her. She then started to pet him.

“He’s like a dog.” She said with a grin. I snorted at her.

“Surprisingly.” I said outloud.

 “Anyway I kinda let my anger onto him, if you didn’t intervene his metal parts would of started to heat up.”

“Wait what, you almost killed!?” I shouted in surprise. She stared at me.

“What, you think I almost killed you brother?”

“His vital organs are through that metal plating. His heart and lungs. I would know, I performed surgery on the fucker.” I said to her, calm enough to not shout.

“Hey I was going to heat his metal arm up, it wouldn't damage his insides but it would hurt a lot.” She then tilted her head. “Though slamming his head to the floor and he didn’t seemed fazed by it. Though I think I messed up his beak.”

“No it was already broken.” I said to her as I pointed at myself. She nodded.

“Alright now that out of the way what now?” She asked.

“Now, I have to go tell Twilight the truth.” I said as I stretched my arms. Jess looked at me.

“What truth?” She asked.

“About being Displaced.” I answered. She blinked at me.

“You never told her? It’s kinda hard if portals start popping up at time to time.” She told me. I shrugged.

“That’s just it, it never happened. The only time it did was when I fell into your world.” I told her as she nodded.

“I see well then.” She walked up to me and smiled. “Come on lover boy, there’s now time then the present.”

Jess

10:55 A.M

We headed towards the castle. I saw some of the townsfolk picking up some stuff that fell for some odd reason. Whoops.

We continue on to the castle. Stripe was staying out in the Everfree, it seems that bringing a Deathclaw into town would be a bad idea. As we got to the front door Steel stopped and I looked back to him.

“What's wrong?” I asked him.

“What if she hates me for lying again?” He said. I stared at him.

“Do you think that?” He shrugged and I nodded. I walked up to him and smack him on the back of his head.

“Hey! What was that for?” Steel asked. I rolled my eyes at him.

“She knows that you're a changeling mercenary that can shoot anyone if they make you mad.” I poked at him. “But she looked past that and fell in love with you, now answer me this did you fall in love with Twilight Sparkle or Princess Twilight Sparkle?”

“What kind of question is that?” He asked. I stared at him.

“Do you see her as a princess or as Twilight.” he stared at me for a moment.

“As Twilight.” I smiled at him.

“Then she would understand, besides she knows about the Multiverse and she knows me so she probably understand more than you think.” I turned  and opened the door. We walked into the castle and I saw that it looked the same since the last time I was here.

“Alright, I think she will be..” I ignored him and took a deep breath.

“TWILIGHT GET YOU BUTT DOWN HERE, YOUR BOYFRIEND WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!!!” I yelled. I heard my echo through the castle.

“Let's just get this over with.” He grumbled out as he walked in. I followed behind him and closed the doors behind me.

“And did you have to yell?” I heard Steel say. I was going to answer but I saw something flying at me. I ducked out of the way and turn to see who it was. I saw Chrysalis and she didn't look happy.

“Christine, get get down from there!” I heard the voice of Chrysalis followed by a giggle.

I looked to see Chrysalis wearing a green blouse and skinny jeans. She looked extremely worried and looking up, I could see why.

A blue maned changeling foal was crawling up the ceiling.

I was about ask on what was going on but Steel had managed to climb up to the ceiling and take hold of the foal.

“This the third time this month, you're not an arachnid pony. You're an adorable little baby changeling that needs to be with her mommy, now fly back to her.” I heard Steel talk to the foal. The foal then started buzzing her wings and flew towards Chrysalis. I watched this and I got to say it looks adorable.

I heard more giggling as two more changeling fillies chase each other. I saw one was orange and the other was purple.

“Delia, stop chasing you sister!” Chrysalis said as she lowered I guess Christine down. The other two still ran around until the purple haired filly ran into me. I saw her look up at me and she looked afraid. I frowned at this, If I was a guy it would make sense but now… I kneeled down to look at her. Her eyes were the same colour as her hair. She reminds me of Twilight with her look.

“Hello there, did you hurt yourself?” I asked her. She shook her head.

“Well good, because if you did then that would be bad and I would be sad if you got your pretty little face hurt.” I boop her on her nose and she started to giggle. I smiled at her.

Soon Liberty appeared running towards Chrysalis with another foal in his arms. A red one.

I noticed that Liberty looked a whole lot different than last I saw him. He has a new layer of fake Synthling skin and wore casual clothing, not what I expected from a former Terminator like synth.

“I apologize for my late arrival. I was searching for Kate and found her in the library of all places.” Liberty said as he gently placed I guess was Kate on the ground, allowing her to meet up with her three sisters.

“I'll handle it, he said. I've done this before, he said. When I get my hands on the little Deathclaw wannabe…” I heard Chrysalis mutter to herself.

“Chrys, calm down. I'm sure he didn't mean for this to happen.” Liberty said in a loving tone towards Chrysalis as he wrapped an arm around her. Okay, what? Am I missing something?

“You left Spike with four changeling foals that are curious and energetic, I'm sure he tried his absolute best.” Steel said as he and Liberty greeted with Bro hug.

‘I‘m so lost.’ I thought as I saw this. I shook my head a bit. ‘ It may have been some time since I last came here, stuff may have happen.’

I looked up and saw Chrysalis staring at me. I waved at her but she still stared at me.

“Hello?” She said, still confused. I tried really hard not to laugh. Now to be confusing for a minute.

“Miss me?” I asked her. She blinked at me in confusion.

“Jace, you look more feminine than you did.” Liberty said. I looked at him as my smiled fell.

“Oh come on, you knew? So much of the surprise.” I crossed my arms. I saw Chrysalis eyes go wide.

“It would've worked if you acted as if this was our first meeting.” Liberty said as Chrysalis nodded a bit, agreeing with him.

“Right, anyway,”  I pointed at the four kids, fillies, foals, ba still messes me up. “How are they?” I asked.

“As you’ve seen, they're quite a handful but I love them.” Chrysalis said as she gotten on one knee and embraced the four foals.

“I know the feeling.” I said to her. I saw Steel look at me. “What, you took care of two alicorn kids before and I did the same.”

“Wait what?” I heard Chrysalis asked. I looked at her and shrugged.

“In my world I took care of Tia and Luna, anyway where’s Twilight.” I asked as I pointed at Steel. “Old lover boy here needs to talk to her.”

“She's in the workshop.” Chrysalis answered. I saw Steel chuckle at this as he began to walk down the hall. I followed him and waved at them.

“Well they seemed happy.” I told Steel.

“Didn't expect that, huh?” He asked. I shrugged at him.

“It was… surprising but seen stuff enough to not question it.” I told him. I looked around and frowned. “How the hell do any of you find your way around this place?”

“Here's the thing, I don't.” He answered with laugh. I rolled my eyes.

“One word: signs.” He continued to laugh.

We continued to walk through the halls and after a few twists, turns and backtracking, we finally arrived, I think. The doors look all the same.

He opened the doors and were greeted with Twilight disassembling a terminal.

She stopped as she turned to look at us and smiled at Steel.

Her smile soon dropped as she saw Steel’s expression.

“It's time I told how Salvador and I are brothers.” Steel said. I walked to one side of the room, trying real hard not to make a joke at what he just said. I saw Twi look at me in confusion.

“Hey there Twilight.” I said to her.

“Who…” she started but stopped as with a wave of my hand.

“I will tell you later.” I said and looked at Steel. He sat down in a chair.

“Steel?” Twilight looked worried at him. Steel rubbed his eyes and looked at her.

“We have been brothers for a long time and that is because we…” He paused for a moment and sighed. “Because we are something called displacements.”

“Displacements? What are those?” She asked. She got up from her desk and stood between us.

“Displacements are people that came to another world and put into a different version of Equestria.” Steel said. She was about to ask another question but I stepped in.

“Do you remember the Multiverse theory, well it’s true.” I waved my hand a bit in the air. “There’s millions of different versions of Equestria and each one is different from the last.” I pointed to Steel.

“Displacements are those that are taken out of their world and get put into one of those worlds and given powers or weapons and have a power to travel between world with the help of something called tokens.” I told her. She looked at me and then at Steel.

“These tokens, you have one?” She asked him.

“Two, yes. Though I only just got the second one a couple of weeks ago and the other belongs to her.” Steel said, pointing at me. I snapped my fingers and my token appeared in my hand. She got a look at it until I sent it away. She looked at me for a moment.

“You said that you both were taken from your homes, how?” She asked.

“I was young and stupid when it happened to me. I went to a convention dressed as what I am now, I found this other guy, real shady but he had the one item I was looking for.” He explained.

“Same for me, you see there’s this rumor that people disappear in conventions and costume shops and there’s always a guy that goes by the name of The Merchant. For me it’s the same as Steel I went to a convention with a costume that was missing one piece and he had it and I bought it, next thing I knew I was thousands of feet in the air and falling.” I told her. She looked at us a bit.

“But don’t you two have families to get back?” She looked at us for a second. “Is Steel and uhhh…”

“You know me as Jace but in this form I’m Jess, less confusing” I told her.

“Is Steel and Jace your real names?” I looked at Steel for a moment. We stayed silent for a bit.

“No, it's Vokun. My parents were creative people.” Steel said.

“And for me it’s Nick, my parents weren’t that creative” I told her.

“Have any of you tried to find away back to your home?” She asked. I shook my head.

“I don’t know if Steel has but I didn’t, I didn’t have anything to go back to.” I said.

“I have, for the first week that is. I just gave up, knowing I wouldn't be able to go back home but I guess since there was nothing that reminded me of home, my mind must've just threw those thoughts away.” Steel said. Twilight frowned at him.

“What about your family? Don’t you want to go back to them?” She asked him. She looked at Steel.

“I can't, not anymore.” Was his answer.

“What do you mean?” She asked. Steel was about to say something but I stepped in.

“Twilight, the worlds in the multiverse they don’t follow the same time wave, some go faster then others so,” I looked at Steel for a moment. “Our home would be much different.”

“There’s could be a way, maybe if..”I put my hand up to her.

“Twilight, we came to accept this.” I looked at Steel. “Well I have.”

“Besides, even if I had managed to go back, I don't think they would've liked what I've become.” Steel said, chuckling to himself. Twilight looked at him.

“Why didn’t you tell me this before.” She asked. He was silent for a bit and looked at me. I gestured him to tell her and he sighed.

“I've pushed those thoughts so far back that they've become just another distant memory.” He said. She went over to him and looked at him.

“And now you telling me now, what brought them up?” She asked. Steel scratched his head.

“Salvador de Rivera, he's the reason.” He said, hate filling his tone when he said the name. I frowned at him.

“Your brother…” Twilight said. He nodded at her.

“He wasn't always like how he is now. I kept my sanity but he didn't, he lost his the day he found his son.” He said to her. I frowned as Twilight gasped.

“He… He lost…” She started but Steel stopped her.

“Not in that way but yes, he found his son but the thing is that he was kidnapped during cryostasis fifty years before Sal woke up. Meaning that he found his son of fifty one years. He was a good griffin but cancer took him, leaving Sal a broken mess.” He explained. She looked at him for a second then at me.

“You said that displacements can travel to other worlds, can they do so freely?” She asked. I shook my head.

“Not really, our tokens are sent out to every other world so other displacements have them, all they have to do is speak and a portal will open.” She looked me and looked scared.

“Would Steel have to go…” She stopped as I gave her a look.

“Not...really, we do have a choice of going or not, for me if a portal opens and I leave it alone for long enough it will disappear.” I told her. She looked at me and back at Steel.

“Why were you so scared of telling me about being a displacement?” Steel stiffened at that.

“Because I lied to you again.” he answered. She looked at him and did something that made me laugh. She hit him over the head. He blinked in surprise at her.

“Wha-”

“That’s for thinking that I would be mad at you for lying.” She then hugged him and I saw a tear fall down her cheek.

“You know that I love you and that will never change, just tell me instead of keeping it to yourself alright.” She asked. Steel smiled and hugged her. He looked at me and I gave him a ‘I told you so’ look and chuckled. I then heard some muffled yelling coming from somewhere.

“What the hell?” I heard Steel say. He looked at me and I put my hands up.

“Don’t look at me I was here for the whole thing so it’s not my fault this time.” I said to him.

“This time?” Twilight asked. I shrugged.

“What can I say, trouble likes me.” I told her with a mad grin.

“Well let see what’s going on.” Steel said. He was about to leave but turned around and kissed Twilight.

“I needed that.” He said and left the room. I looked at Twilight as she blushed.

“He had a long day so far.” I told her as I went out of the room.

Steel

12:00 P.M.

After leaving the workshop, I started looking for the source of the yelling. I heard Jess running behind me. I turn to see her slow down to turn but spead up as I past the turn.

“I’m starting to hate this place!” She yelled.

“Lambin.” I muttered out to myself. I stopped as I waited for her to catch up.

“Can you get any slower?” I asked as she caught up. She glared at me.

“I’m sorry that I don’t have a good idea of where I’m going, I only been here three times.” She said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and continued. This time she just followed me.

After a few more twists and turns we made it outside. The first thing I saw was Salvador holding a 10mm pistol while he chased Kate while covered in excessive amounts of feathers.

“Oh fuck no.” I said as bent over to pick up a loose stone. I straighten back up and spun around once, gaining momentum for the stone before I threw it, hitting Sal on the arm, earning a sickening crunch from it.

He dropped his gun due to having his arm crippled. He raised his left arm and a small barrel appear and aimed at Kate again but didn't have chance as I tackled him to the ground.

“Move and I'll rip your arm off.” I threatened him.

“That Synthling did this to me!” He shouted in anger. I smacked his head into the ground again.

“Don't ever try to shoot one of my nieces.” I said to him.

“Also it's Changeling, not Synthling.” I heard Jess said. I saw Kate hiding behind her.

“What? But you're the only one.” Sal said, confusion evident in his tone.

“No, there was two more, one's dead and the other will kick your ass for trying to kill her kid.” I explained, earning a groan from him.

“I fucked up, didn't I?” He asked.

“Big time.” I said as he buried his face in the dirt. I turned to Jessica and saw her talking to Kate. She seemed to know what she was doing since Kate was nodding.

“Well now-” I began but I heard someone yelling.

“I'M GOING TO SKIN HIM ALIVE!!” I heard Chrysalis yelled.

“Apologize to both Kate and her mother, then hand over your Pip-boy. Seriously, I care about you dude but you're making your situation worse.” I told him as I turned to look at an enraged Chrysalis.

“First off, you can't skin him, half the skin on his body is synthetic and second, he has something to say.” I said as Salvador sat up.

“I’m …. I'm sorry.” he said. I glared at him.

“For…” He groaned a bit.

“For chasing your filly with a 10mm gun.” he said. Chrysalis glared at him and grabbed the front of his shirt.

“If you ever do something like this again I'm going to rip your wings off and feeding them to you.” She threatened as she let go. “Now where's Kate?”

“she's right-” I got interrupted by something out of the corner of my eye. We turned and saw a blue glowing top thing spinning as it disappeared. I looked behind me to see what's going on.

“Ok next try pulling it back and letting it go.” Jess said as she made a white orb appear and handing it to Kate. She took it and pulled back and let go as the orb zipped past us and exploded into snow like sparkles. Kate giggled as that happened.

“There.” I finished as I got up and helped Sal to his feet. He then took off his Pip-boy.

“You'll get this back when you're trustworthy. Also, remember the Alpha Omega?” I asked him.

“You mean the Deathclaw that was the size of a two story building AND could camouflage with its surroundings? Yeah why?” He said.

“Apparently being covered, drinking or injecting the blood of the beast makes the person the new Alpha Omega.” I explained.

“Cool, by the way, Fluttershy said I'm good to be around but I still needed to be kept on watchful eye.” Sal said. I nodded then started to hear something behind me. I looked and saw Jess and Kate watching three glowing top things going. One was making sound, one was jumping, and the last one was making sparkles. Kate was clapping at them. I also saw the other three were there and doing the same thing. I couldn't help but smile at that.

“Les filles , il est temps de revenir à votre mère.” I called out to my nieces, gaining their full attention. They looked at Jess and waved their goodbyes at her before flying towards Chrysalis. Jess waved her hand and made the three tops disappear and walked over to us.

“That was fun.” She said. I was about to say something but Salvador beat me to it.

“Hey, um I'm sorry for trying to sell your token. Old habits die hard, I guess.” He said as he offered his right arm for a handshake. Jess took it after two minutes of staring.

“Eh don’t worry about it, other than bringing me over here the thing is a paper weight.” Jess said, earning a nod from Salvador. I saw blood started seeping out of Sal’s left eye.

“Seriously.” I heard Sal mutter as He placed a hand over the eye and took hold of it. He then started to pull it out.

Once the eye was removed, Sal closed his left eye socket as a glow appeared through his eye lid. He then opened it and a pure white sphere appeared, probably a fake eye to feel a little comfortable.

“Well, I can kiss this goodbye.” He said, crushing the mechanical eye in his hand.

I looked over to Jess and saw her face of confusion.

“I told you to find a better replacement.” I told Salvador, earning a groan of annoyance.

“Shut up, you know I'm right. Come on, it's time to send Jess back.” I said afterwards as I started walking towards the forest with Sal and Jess following behind.

“So what are you supposed to be anyway?” I heard Sal ask Jess. She was about to answer but Sal tried to guess.

“Wizard like robes, magical reading that doesn't match anyone else's. I'm guessing you're supposed to be someone from Magic: The Gathering.” Sal declared with a snap and point of a finger.

“Something like that, although I should look like Jace Beleren, the mono blue mana user and I took his name.” I heard Jess say.

“Then why are you a girl?” Sal asked.

“Blue mana and other shit.” Jess answered.

12:13 P.M.

Once we made it to the entrance of Everfree forest, I stopped as I realized something.

“What is it, Steel?” I heard Jess ask me.

“You said that Twilight lost her magic, right?” I asked, I saw her stiffen a bit then nodded. I can't believe I forgot about it, there's a way.

“I just remembered, there's a way for her to get it back. A fruit that can do wonders and it's found in the forest. And fortunately enough, here it is.” I said as I found a bent over Tree. I reached up to the fruit and pulled out a banana yucca.

“Believe it or not an F.E.V banana Yucca can give those who lost their magic back. One is enough and it doesn't rot , so here. Once you give it to Twilight, tell her it was get well gift.” I said to Jess.

“A fruit that can give magic back? Doesn't that sound far fetched?” She asked me.

“I know but it works. Trust me.” I said, handing her the fruit.

“Fine but if this is some sort of-”

“It's not a fucking joke. I don't joke with serious things such as this, it's legit but it's got a bitter taste.” I said to her. She took hold of the fruit and put in her bag.

I nodded and put two fingers on my lips, allowing me to let out a whistle. Not long afterwards, Stripe came running out of the tree line and stopped just beside Jess.

“Take care of him for me, will ya? He needs a family and that's why I'm giving him to you.” I said to Jess.

“Why, what happened to his parents?” She asked.

“Magma Deathclaws aren't friends with the others and now he's the last Magma Deathclaw. A fight broken out against The Magma and Lightning Deathclaws. Since the Magmas were outnumbered, it was a slaughter.” I explained to her.

“I just happened to have heard of a monster sighting that led me towards the Magma nest and found two Lightning Deathclaws about to smash the last Magma egg but stopped as they saw me, I guess they could smell the blood of The Alpha omega but it didn't matter to me. I killed the two Deathclaws and took the egg, a few hours later, it hatched and here we are now.” I finished. Jess looked down at Stripe and began to pet him, avoiding the horns.

“I think I can do that, with some help from Fluttershy.” She chuckled as Sal frowned. “Trust me, there’s a lot of creatures and she has a way with them.”

“Right.” I heard Sal mutter.

“Ready to go?” I asked Jess. She looked around and nodded.

“Say the words and I’m out.” She said.

I nodded and signaled Sal to say the Phrase.

“Your services are no longer required.” Salvador said, causing a portal to open. The Deathclaw looked at it and went in, I saw the portal grew a bit as he went in. Jess looked at us.

“See you around Steel,” I nodded to her. She looked at Sal and stared.

“Stop being a pain in the ass chicken legs.” And before Sal could say anything she went through the portal and it closed.

Jess

The first thing I thought of was that it was cold. Really cold. I shivered as I returned to cave in the north. I saw the deathclaw sniffing around, not bothered with the cold. Though being something with the word magma in it would mean that he won’t feel cold. I looked outside to see that it was dark. I frowned and made some blankets appear and set them up as a makeshift bed.

Stripe walked over and laid down beside the bed. I chuckled and petted him.

“Who knew a dangerous monster with fire and death can be adorable.” I said to myself. I pulled out the fruit that Steel gave me and stared at it. This can bring Twilight's magic back. I put it back and laid down.

“I’ll make this right Twilight, this I swear.” I heard a snoring sound and looked over to Stripe. I chuckled and closed my eyes, falling asleep.

Steel

Seeing the portal close and turning to look at my brother as he stared blankly on the ground. I placed hand on his shoulder, gaining his attention.

“You've got a long way to go but it's good to have you back.” I said to him with a smile.

“Thanks.” He said in a hush tone. I frowned at this.

“She would want you to change, you know this as well as I do.” I said to him. He looked up to me with the face of anger but the look was replaced with one of sadness.

“You're right. I need to be better than this.” He said with a sad smile. I patted his shoulder as we walked back to town.

“So, you and the purple mare, eh?” I heard Sal say as he nudged me with his elbow. I rolled my eyes as I smiled.

“Yes, and it's Twilight. Now come on.” I said to him. The rest of the walk was spent reminiscing the past, before our Displacement.

9:00 P.M.

After sending Jess back and finding Kate so Salvador could apologize to her, the rest of the day was spent with the remaining normality I had. I had given Nyx her linguistic lessons and Scootaloo wanted to tag along with her.

Afterwards, I had given Spike another lesson in combat. This time I taught him to use the resources given to him.

After that was done, I had told Rainbow that her shooting lessons would have to wait for another time, which fortunately for me, She had actually came to say that she needed to work at the time.

Now I sat on the bed with Twilight in my arms, enjoying our passionate moment. Our clothes were scattered around the room, leaving us in our undergarments.

“So..” I said, catching my breath.

“So?” Twilight asked with half lidded eyes.

“Why the sudden urge? Not that I'm complaining.” I said to her, earning a small chuckle from her.

“What, can't a mare and her stallion make love every now and again?” She said to me as she traced a finger across my bare chest.

“Is that all, because I sense that you have another reason.” I said with a smirk. She sighed as she reached behind onto her back.

“My parents are coming over tomorrow, along with Shining and Cadence.” She said. My eyes grew in shock and tensed up. Well, I need to make a good first impression tomorrow.

“I knew you'd react like that, so that's why we're doing this.” She said, finally unhooking her bra and discarding it behind her, allowing her perfectly shaped breasts free. Smirking at this, I started kissing her neck and traveled downwards doing so, earning moans from the mare in my arms.
