Who Wrote This Script?! -by The Warmaster- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter One: Ponies, Metal Men, And Explosions. Lots of Explosions //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter One: Ponies, Metal Men, And Explosions. Lots of Explosions A man gazed into the time stream of a universe, his body seemingly bleached white. in his hand was a black staff that blended in with the eternal nothingness of the realm that separated all universes, and held together the multiverse, the Void.  The man was massive, with inhuman strength flowing through his limbs, the memories of over ten thousand years of unending war still forever painted in his mind, mostly due to the implants he received all those years ago. But then again, those were the original's memories. He was different. He had corrupted Luna, of which was one of the so-called mighty alicorns that ruled over the sovereign land known as Equestria. That is, until his former master decided to spice things up. plunging Luna and her sister, Celestia, into a civil war, he had brought the man to that universe, and he, along with his brothers, corrupted Luna, and creating the Daemon known as Nightmare Moon. He was the one who toppled Celestia from her throne, one thousand years later, with the help of others. He was the one who started a war to gain the knowledge he now possessed. He was Ahzek Ahriman, Warmaster of the New Black Legion, and the events of this particular universe troubled him deeply. The universe in question was almost completely identical to his own, with some minor differences.         "This could be troublesome for my plans....." He muttered to himself, pondering all the possibilities. The one, conclusive fact was that his other self, once ascended, will oppose and try to kill him. "Then I guess I should kill him first. But I have better things to do than hunt down my other self. I guess it's time to displace someone. But what will they be? Hm....perfect..."        "Uggghhh." The female groaned as she came to, the sound of wind rushing past her ears quickly waking her up. She opened her eyes to see the sight of trees rushing toward her.     "What?! Aaaaahhhhh!" She screamed, flailing her limbs in terror. Almost as if in response, two large, black wings sprouted from her back, turning her plunge to her demise into a somewhat steady glide. Unfortunately, she was confused, amazed, and distracted by said wings that she didn't notice her collision course with a tree until it was too late.     "OW!" She yelled as she impacted face first into wood, her neck miraculously unbroken by the impact. She dropped to the grass with a thump. She cursed a litany of hatred at the tree, standing up and punching it. As her arm drew close to the tree, she noticed that her arm, from the elbow down, was encased in a long, hexagonal yellow cylinder, and she then noticed the glow at the end. As the arm cannon met the tree, the gathering atomic energy launched out, obliterating the tree, and the next ten behind it. The girl stared at the destruction she accidentally had caused, before staring at the hand cannon-like thing.    "What.....the hell?! What is this thing?" She yelled again, waving her cannon arm up and down. "How do I take it off?!" After a few minutes of this, she gave up, taking notice of her body and clothing through her reflection in a nearby pond. She was 5 feet tall, with long, dark brown hair and eyes. She wore a white short-sleeve shirt, with a large, red gem-looking thing in the center of her chest. She also had a short green skirt, with an accompanying green bow on her head. A set of wings sprouted from her back, holding aloft a starry cape. On her right leg was what looked like black glass armor, while on her left two circles floated in the shape of an atom's electrons. On her right arm, where her hand and lower arm used to be, now sat her hand cannon, which had four holes that together took the shape of the symbol for radiation and nuclear material. The whole thing reminded her of a nuclear control rod.      "What the hell happened to me?! Though, I do like the new figure a bit." She chuckled, looking at her new figure. Before anything else could happen, the sound of a chainsaw tore through the silence of the forest, startling the girl from her thoughts. "Oh, a person! Maybe they can help me find out where I am!" She ran towards the source of the sound, being careful as to not smack her wings against any trees. After a few minutes, she exited the forest, and ran straight into a horror movie scene.     Around a cart, the bodies of about a dozen armored horse-like things littered the ground, sliced in many pieces. What the girl assumed was the perpetrator stood over  the last of the  horses, with a giant, whirling axe held high over it's head. It was a large humanoid in red full body armor, except for his left arm, which absolutely bulged with muscles. In the chest plate was a massive grill-looking thing, with small holes on the sides. His helmet bore two large horn like things, with carvings of agonized faces in the front.     The girl glanced at her cannon arm, before pulling it up to face the giant.     "Hey Ugly!" She yelled, and the warrior looked up, before leaping back, his direction towards another forest. The girl lined up her shot, hearing an alarm in the back of her head, and fired.      Only for her to be blown backwards as the energy gathering in front of her cannon explode in her face, creating a large crater around the explosion. As she flew, she noticed the red warrior, as well as some black furred horses, and they were laughing. At her.      Angered, she pointed her cannon at them, wanting to tear them to pieces. A loud alarm sounded off in her head again, sounding like the nuclear alarms people used. A large amount of nuclear energy gathered, and the four sides of the cannon pulled outward, and a long cylinder was revealed.       "HEY SHITHEADS!" She yelled, gaining their attention. "EAT THIS!!!" The air grew thin as she unleashed a beam of intense nuclear energy, turning the night into day as the four warriors dove out of the way, only to be thrown into the forest as the beam impacted the ground, making a massive explosion that tore through the trees, and creating a massive mushroom cloud. The girl smiled, before passing out, falling to the ground only to be caught in the air by a dark purple aura.     The girl awoke three hours later in a white medical room, laying in a nice, soft bed of sorts. Strange glowing letters floated around her, completely untranslatable to her. As she sat up, two of the horse things entered the room, one in armor and the other in a medical coat. The medical horse looked up from a paper in a floating aura, which also surrounded a horn protruding from its head.    "Oh, I see you've finally awoken! I am Doctor Medberg, your current doctor! I hope you've sleep well after that impressive display of magic?" It asked, shocking the girl.       "You can talk?!" She asked in surprise, leaping up from the bed. The horned horse knickered.         "Why yes, I can. I'm a pony, a sentient being just like yourself." Medberg stated, rolling his eyes. "Anyways, the Princess would like to speak with you as soon as possible, so save any questions for her. Please follow this fine gentlestallion to the throne room."            The girl glanced at the armored pony. He had generic white fur, and two small wings on his sides. His armor was made out of gold, with a blue plume on the helmet. She sighed, before nodding. The pony turned and began trotting away. The girl followed, noting that the letters- no, runes, followed after her.        After a long and silent walk, the pony soldier stopped at a large door. He stood to the side, waving his head towards the door.        "The Princess is waiting for you inside." He stated in a gruff voice. The girl nodded, before pushing open the door and stepping inside. On the other side was a long and well kept hallway, with banners depicting images of a bleach white pony with wings and a horn, rising into the air superman style with the sun rising behind it. Intricate windows were visible every so often down the hall, depicting victories. At the end of the hall were two thrones, one all Gold and white marble, the other a silver and azure color. In the gold chair was a beautiful white pony, with an extremely long horn and massive wings. A golden tiara sat on her head, tucked inside her flowing multicolored mane, along with a golden necklace and slippers adorning the rest of her body. She looked up as the girl stepped forward, and smiled gently.      "Greetings, I am Princess Celestia, ruler of the nation of Equestria, and the Solar Empire. It is an honor to meet the one who risked her life to save one of my precious ponies." The Princess greeted,  nodding her head towards the girl. "And what might your name be?"        She was about to reply when she realized she couldn't remember. Internally panicking, she searched and searched, until a small whisper slipped into her mind.         "Reiuji, your Majesty. Utsuho Reiuji, known by some as the Scorching, Troublesome Divine Flame." She declared proudly, not sure where the words were coming from.        "Interesting... Well, before we begin, somepony would like to say something to you." She pointed her hoof to the left, where a familiar horned pony stepped forward, helmet at her chest.         "I'm Moondust, Miss Reiuji. I thank you for saving my life from the claws of that monster." She said, looking up. "After you collapsed from using the power of the Sun Goddess, I brought you back to the castle of the Two Sisters. I hope you are uninjured?"         "I'm fine, thanks." Utsuho replied, and the mare smiled.          "Goddess protect you, Ms. Reiuji." She said, turning around and leaving.          Reiuji turned back to Celestia, eyebrow raised. "Goddess, huh?"         Celestia sighed. "I've tried to tell them that I am not Divine, but simply an Alicorn. But they don't listen it seems." She shook her head. "Anyways, we have some things to discuss. But above all else, I must first ask for your aid in the war against the Lunar Republic and my sister."        "What? Look, Princess Celestia, I can help, but I need some info first." Reiuji stated after a stunned moment of silence.         "Very well, I expected as much. It all began when me and my sister defeated a Spirit of Chaos named Discord....." Celestia began, and Utsuho sighed and pulled up a nearby chair.
