Chapter 4 :I befriend the reaper and a british person

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It’s been a week since coming to Ponyville and so far everything is going great. I have been living at Twilight’s place since there’s no other place for me to live. Fluttershy did offer but I couldn’t sleep with all the animals and smell, plus it lets me hang out with Nyx more.

As I was living there I found a job with Applejack and Pinkie, for AJ I helped make stone walls and move big boulders that she or her brother can’t move. For Pinkie I helped with the baking and delivers, I spent two and a half years in a baking course and now I can use it!

At the moment I was traveling around outside Ponyville seeing the sights. I saw some animals that was interesting such as a wolf made out of wood and something called a manticore but I did see some creatures that were in the game such as some krugs, raptors and gromph. I just hope I don’t run into Baron Nashor anytime soon.

After I traveled about a couple miles by rock surfing I came to a field with some trees. I went to one of them and laid down under the tree. I sighed and looked down at what I wore at the time. It wasn’t what I had when I came here and that’s thanks to Rarity, I wore a light brown tank top with some camo pants, I still had my goggles and red scarf I don’t know why but I feel a bit off without them. I looked at my wrist and saw the bracelet that she also made, it had the gem that I got from Sans but for some reason it was dim. I frowned at it but went back to relaxing, I looked up to the sky and slowly I closed my eyes to take a nap.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” My eyes snapped open as I heard screaming. I bolted up and looked around to see where the screaming is coming from. I ran forward and continued to look until I heard it coming from above me. I looked up and saw what’s coming.

“Ahhh shit.” was all I could say until someone landed on me. At first I saw nothing and felt some pain but after getting ran over by Dash I got used to it. What was weird is that I felt something on my lips, I opened them and saw why… the person who was on me was human, not pony human, and it was a girl with short spiky brown hair and was wearing some yellow orange goggles that made it hard to see what colour they were but I guess brown.

She was on top of me kissing me. On the lips……… FREAK OUT!!!

“AHHHHH! GETOFFGETOFFGETOFFGETOFF!!!!! I yelled as she opened her eyes and panicked as well. I moved away from her and felt my face go bright red, did that just happen? Oh god, that just happened. I looked back at the other girl as she was looking around.

Her embarrassed face turned to one of panic as she took notice of her surroundings.

“Trevor?” She called out. She had a british accent. I looked at her for a moment, she looks familiar. I stood up and shook my head and hoped that my face wasn’t red.

“Umm hello?” I said to her. She jumped as she yelped in surprise before turning around.

“Um..” She muttered, looking away. I blinked at her and remembered why she’s like that.

“Let’s forget that just happened, alright?” I asked her. She nodded slightly in agreement. “Right… so what’s your name?”

“Violet. My name is Violet Young. Where am I?” She asked. She looked almost terrified after seeing her surroundings. Oh boy, this is going to be hard.

“Nice to meet you, Violet, I’m Taliyah and what I’m going to tell you will make no sense and impossible but it’s real,” I said as I explained everything that I know of, of where we are, about the anthro ponies, and the friendship magic stuff. She took it well… I uhh think?

“I can handle being taken to another world but as long as my brother is with me.” She said. Well that good but I don’t know about her brother.

“Uhh listen I don’t know how to say this but-”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I again heard another scream as we both looked up and saw a black figure falling towards a hill nearby… and crashing into it.

“... That could be him!” I said. We both looked at each other and ran towards the now new crater.

We got to the crater and I looked down to see it was smoking and a figure was standing in the middle of it.

Pain. Something I'm accustomed to but where is…” The figure said before looking up at us. His mask frightened me. Violet, on the other hand, didn’t seem fazed by it as she jumped into the hole.

“Trevor!” She yelled as she tackled the man onto the ground.

“I actually thought I wasn't going to see you again.” I heard her say. I smiled at this as it reminds me of when I found Nick again. I waved my hand to make stairs for them to get out of the crater and sat down to wait for them.


Violet


Being in another body feels weird but awesome at the same time, if I'm really Tracer then it means I can control my own time. And knowing that Trevor is with me and as Reaper maybe it won't be so bad.

Though going back home isn't a bother to me, probably because we had no home. Trevor and I were orphans for as long as I could remember though Trevor briefly mentions some of thing mom and dad used to do but he never told me what happened to them.

But back to our current situation, Trevor had pushed me off before standing up and dusting himself.

You could've warned me.” He said, he even had Reaper's voice too. I giggled a bit, finding his only response as that.

“You know me, always happy to see my brother,” I said to him, earning a groan from him. We then heard the sound of rocks moving, looking to our right we saw that the crater walls were formed into stairs.

I looked up to see the girl from earlier waving at us. Trevor looked at me, I guess he was looking at me questionably before walking up the steps and I followed behind


Taliyah


I waited for them to have their reunion above from the crater, don't want to make it awkward for them. I looked up to the sky and raised my hand to look at the bracelet again. The gem was still dim and this worried me, is Nick alright? Of course he is like he said he has been doing this way longer then me so he could take on anything…. But still he could of sent a note or something.

I felt something wet run down my cheek. I wiped it away and saw it was a tear, dang it I'm not trying to be a crybaby not right now. As I stared at it I hear the sounds of footfalls coming up the stairs. I shook my head and turned to the two of them.

“Alright since I already did this but I will say it again, my name is Taliyahhhholy shit!” I yelled as the guy looked at me. He towered over me and again his mask didn't help things. I laughed nervously at him but strangely he looks familiar, heck both of them did. I wonder who they supposed to be. I saw them looking at me oddly.

“Uhh Right! Let me restart, I’m Taliyah it’s nice to meet you two.” I said as I offered my hand to them.

Trevor Young.” The man said without a handshake. Good lord he’s creepy.

“And you already know my name,” Violate said shaking my hand, at least one of them shook my hand. Trevor tilted his head at me.

I never met anyone with the name Taliyah.” He said. I shrugged and spun around.

“Well… truth be told that’s not really my name, my real name is Rose Smith but ever since I came here I went by Taliyah since I went to a con as dressed like her.” I told them. I turned and pointed at them. “Just like you two did, let me guess you went to a con and ran into a creepy guy who calls himself ‘The Merchant’ and you bought something off him and they you found yourselfs falling.”

“Something like that, I got these, though, so that's a plus,” Violet said as she pulled out a set of weird looking pistols before spinning them around.

“Cool… wait I do know who you two supposed to be, your Tracer and your Reaper from the Overwatch game.” I said to them. They both nodded and Violet smiled brightly.

“That's right!” She exclaimed. Her brother stayed silent, I'm not sure if from confusion or he just didn't like me.

"Uhh hey you really haven't said anything, are you confused or something?” I asked. He looked down at me.

Confused, yes but I'll figure out what's going on eventually that is if you don't know already.” He said. I crossed my arms and thought about it for a bit.

“Let's head back to town, it would be a bit better than talking in a field,” I said. I turned around and tap my foot on the ground which made a boulder big enough for all of us to ride on. I got on it and looked back to see them staring at the bolder. “You coming?”

They both looked at each other before Violet shrugged and walked onto the boulder. Her brother did the same only a second later. I turned and put my goggles on with a smile.

“Please keep all arms and legs in the vehicle at all times and we thank you for choosing rocky travels,” I said as I willed the boulder to move forward. I pointed it towards Ponyville and headed towards it.


After some time we arrived at Ponyville as I pulled the boulder just outside of the place. I made stairs for the other two to walk down and after they were off I lowered the bolder down into the ground.

“Well welcome to Ponyville, the place of sunshine and rainbows and weird shit,” I told them with a smile.

“The town seems nice, a little too colorful though and coming from the one wearing orange goggles, that means something,” Violet said as she turned towards her brother.

I get the feeling that weird things happen here often.” He said as he looked around. I saw some of the townsfolk seeing us and started to walk a bit faster.

“You’d be surprised, anyway there’s a place that we can chat.” I said as I started walking. As we walked I saw that everyone was doing their own thing and having a good day. After a few minutes we got to the library and I looked around frowning.

“That’s… odd.” I said out loud.

“What is it?” I heard Violet ask. I looked around and saw a big rock near by. I made it go up and saw that no one was there.

“Normally there would be someone here to be hyper and happy to see someone new but she’s not here,” I said. I walked to the door of the library and saw that the lights were on. I opened the door and walked in. “Hello? Anyone home?”

“Hello Tal, I’m in the kitchen!” I heard Nyx yell out. I looked back to see the other two got in, Travor had to bend down a bit to get in, and were looking around. I had managed to hear him whisper something.

“I feel like I'm inside a hobbits home, Mister Frodo.” He whispered. I rolled my eyes and went to sit down in one of the chairs as the other two took the couch.

“So, Q and A time! Ask your questions and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.” I told them.

“Where exactly are we?” Violet asked.

“Well like I said you’re in Ponyville but if you more of the bigger picture you’re in Equestria,” I said as I remembered my talk with Cadence about the same thing. I saw them stare at me and I sighed. “You’re in the world of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.”

Violet understood what I meant while Trevor, I don't know. I can't see his face which makes it impossible to tell. All he did was sit there with his arms crossed.

“Tal who are you talking to? Do they want.. Some…… tea.” I heard Nyx walk out of the kitchen and both Violet and Trevor. I saw that she was staring at Trevor. I was about to say something but she disappeared in a dark blue flash.

“Well hell that’s not good.” I said as I rubbed my eyes, I won’t hear the end of it from Twilight if she get’s nightmares.

“I think she was spooked by Trevor,” Violet said. Trevor shrugged in response. I sighed and sit up.

“Do you two want something to drink?” I asked them.

“I had plenty to drink before coming here but thanks for the offer,” Violet answered.

Same here.” Trevor said afterward. I nodded at them.

“Well I’m going to get myself something.” I said to them as I walked into the kitchen. I opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of root beer, even in a magical world of talking anthro ponies they have root beer. As I closed the door and opened my bottle I heard someone trying to get my attention. I looked over and saw Nyx hiding under the table.

“What are you doing?” I asked her. She looked at me and at the door.

“I’m hiding from the Reaper, why did you bring the Reaper into our home?” she asked. I stared at her and let out a sigh. I went over to her and kneeled down.

“Nyx that’s not the Reaper, he’s just a guy that looks like him,” I told her, it didn’t help very much.

“Even so, why are is he here then?” she asked.

“I found them outside of town and they needed help, I was there and I helped out,” I told her. She nodded but didn’t leave the table. “Their really nice and if you get to know them you’ll see that too.”

Nyx thought about it for a moment as she looked at me.

“I’ll be down in a bit,” she said as she teleported again. Getting back up I went into the room with them and sat down.

“Right so any other questions?” I asked them.

Is there a way back?” Trevor asked. I opened my mouth and paused. That was a question that I never thought about.

“I… I don't know, I never really tried to look,” I said to them. Maybe Tahm knows of a way but that kind of info may cost a lot. I looked at them and saw that they were looking at one another.

“So we're stuck here,” Violet said, looking at her brother.

Looks like it, on the plus side, I don't need to go to work anymore.” Trevor said. I stared at them for a minute, then I heard someone knocking at the back door. I frowned at this, why are the back door?

“I’ll be right back.” I said to them as I again walked into the kitchen and headed towards the back door to open it. “Hello then, can I help… holy shit.”

“Now that’s not how a proper lady should speak, you should be ashamed,” Tahm said as he stood in front of me. I blinked at him and shook.

“What do you want?” I asked him as I crossed my arms.

“Hmm, straight to the point huh well alright, there’s two humans that came here that aren’t supposed to be here, something went wrong along the lines. I’m here to send them to the world or worlds they are supposed to go.” He explained. I frowned harder at him.

“Wait you can send them to other worlds? Why not send them back home?” I asked him.

“I can do many things but that is something that I can’t do, now back to the matter at hand bring them to the spot you found me, not right away but it has to be at the end of the day any later would be bad.” He told me as he turned. He jumped up and went into the ground as if it was water. I shook my head and returned to the living room to see Nyx there talking Violet. She had Tibbers with her.

“Sorry about that, had to talk to someone about something,” I told them as I took my drink and drank a bit more of it. I looked at Nyx and pointed at Trevor. “See he’s not scary, he just looks scary.”

“Yeah… why do you even look like that?” She asked him.

Costume. Bought it on Craig's list.” He answered. Nyx tilted her head at that.

“Who’s Craig? Is he a friend of yours?” She asked. I couldn’t help but chuckle at this.

“They don't have that here, Trevor,” Violet said with a bemused tone.

Your point? I only said where I got us these suits.” Trevor said, arms crossed. I rolled my eyes and thought one about their costumes, since they came here they would of have the powers of whoever they are.

“Say want to try out your new powers?” I asked them. They turned to me and stared.

“Absolutely,” Violet answered and stood up from her seat. Trevor shook his head and followed suit. I led them into the Everfree away from the town. I found a clearing near where I found Tahm at. I stopped and looked around and stomp my foot making stones come up to be the target.

“Well then let's see what you two can do,” I said as I moved to stand near Nyx. I saw that she pulled out a video camera and started videotaping.

Trevor was first as his body turned transparent and started floating, going through the targets before going back to normal and pulled out both his guns and fired, hitting a few targets.

Hmm.” Trevor let out a hum before he began spinning and wildly firing in a three hundred and sixty-degree spin as he shouted.

Die. Die. Die!” He shouted out before stopping completely. I looked over at Violet and raised an eyebrow. She shrugged at this as I looked over and he appeared in front of me.

Boo.” He said. I gave him a deadpan stare.

“Yeah.. no, I’m used to you,” I said to him. I looked over at the now blasted stones and stomp my foot as they went back into the ground and a few more came up. I looked to Violet and saw her running towards them.

Just as quick I saw her run towards the targets, she had already stood next to Trevor and the targets were singed. I blinked a few times at this, what?

“What happened I missed it.” I said.

She's Tracer, an actual time traveler with the ability to control her own time, allowing her to as fast as light.” Trevor explained while Violet jumped in excitement for doing whatever it was she just did. Her powers remind me of Ekko since he can do the same thing. I looked at Nyx and saw her looking at the video camera.

“What’s with the camera?” I asked her.

“This is something cool, I want to videotape it.” she said as she replays something. I looked over and the other two.

“Well is there anything else you want to do?” I asked them.

No.” Trevor answered. I looked over and Violet and she shook her head.

“Right, follow me.” I said as I started walking towards the place.


After fifteen minutes of walking we all came to the same river with the dock. I walked to, the dock and waited. I saw a weird alligator walked into the river, or is it a crocodile?

“Umm what are we doing?” Violet asked.

“We’re waiting.” I said as I eyed the croc. After five minutes someone started to become impatient.

Look I don’t know why you brought us here but this is getting us no-” Trevor got cut off by the sound of splashing. I watched as the croc thrash around for a bit until it was taken under water. After a few minutes, something jumped out of the water and landed in front of me.

Trevor pushed his sister behind him and pulled out one of his guns to point at Tahm.

“You know pointing at gun at someone else is rude boy.” he said to him.

Right.” Trevor said, not lowering his gun. Tahm shook his head and looked at Violet and bowed to her.

“My deepest apologies for scaring you my dear, I was just having a little snack before I came to chat with you both,” He said. Violet stared at him for a bit and then at me.

“Violet, Trevor meet Tahm Kench The River King. He’s also the one that knows more about this then I do.” I said to them as Tahm again bowed.

“Yes know I don’t have a lot of time since someone is being impatient I can answer a few questions,” he said as he started to pick at his teeth. I felt Nyx grab my leg as she started to shake in fear. I patted her head and tried to calm her down.

“It’s ok, he’s not to hurt you.” I told her. She looked at me for a moment.

“How do you know that?” She asked.

“Because if he does something I’ll send him flying.” I told her with a smile. I looked back at the others and listen in to what they are talking about.

“There really isn't a way?” Violet asked. Tahm shook his head.

“I’m sorry my dear, I have heard of some that could travel back but that’s outside of my ability to do, what I can do is send you to the world that you were supposedly have been sent to.” He cross his arms and frowned. “It wouldn’t be a problem if he knew what he was doing at times.”

Who’s he?” Trevor asked. Tahm waved his hand, claw, thing dismissively.

“Nothing that you should worry about, now for you two. I was asked to send you both to your worlds and normally you two have your own worlds.” Tahm said. Violet looked at him and her brother with a worried look as Trevor… looked angry? Again the mask. “But I was told that you two are going to the same world so I’ll do that, say your goodbyes because you not going to see your friend until later, maybe.”

Violet and Trevor turned to me and walked over.

“So I guess you’re off then huh,” I said to them. They nodded.

“I guess so, it’s going to be weird but as long I with my brother.” Violet said as she smiled at Trevor.

“Right well have a good trip, oh! and here.” I pulled out my token, two of them, and handed them to them.

What’s this?” Trevor asked.

“You're going to be told about this but you’re somethin like me, a Displaced and you’ll have something called tokens, this is mine. If you’re in trouble or need a friend to take to just give me a shout.” I told them. They put the token in their pockets and I shook Trevor's hand. I looked over at Violet and saw that she hugged me which made me blush. After a moment she pulled away and saw me all red.

“Sorry, forgot.”

“About what?” I said quickly. She nodded and stepped back and I saw Trevor looked at us and tilted his head. They turned and looked at Tahm.

So… how is this going to work? Are you going to make a portal or-” He was caught off as Tahm grabbed both of them and… eat them. My jaw hit the floor as he finished eating them and turned blue. He looked at me, waved,and jumped into the river. I stood there with Nyx in silence at what just happened.

“That… was the most creepiest thing I have seen… of all time.” Nyx said. I nodded at her.

“I think… we should go lay down back at the treehouse.” I told her.

“Agreed”


Third PoV


The forest was quiet in the dead of the night, nothing stirred as the quiet was all that anything could hear. That is until a loud splashing sound came from one of the rivers that travel through the forest as an amphibious being came out of it. It looked around and begins to upchuck it’s load.

Two beings came out of the being covered in slime. One of them, clad in black and has a mask over his face, groans as he stood up. Trevor tried to brush off the slime but gave up as it didn’t help. He looked back at the amphibian as it wiped it mouth.

“Disgusting.” It said as it turns to the river and jumps in. Trevor watched this happened before he looked around at his surroundings. He saw the moon and took noticed of which directions the moon was heading. He looked over at his sister and saw that she was passed out, he guessed that she passed out from what happened.

Lifted his sister up Trevor carried her as he headed east. With each step, a feeling of chill ran up his spine. He knew that they were going to have a ride of their lives, if not more.
