Previous Chapter

Dillan woke up in the early morning and noticed Chara still sleeping, he smiled and got up slowly going into the bathroom for a quick shower. Chara woke to the sound of the shower running, stretching and sluggishly grabbing their knife.

Chara smirked, getting an idea, putting their knife on the counter to the bathroom sink as they walked in.

“Hey!” Dillan said blushing, covering himself up.

“I figured that since you got to see my ‘private area’, then I would should get to see yours.” Chara said calmly.

“Um…” Dillan said. “Did you see it?”

“Yes.” Chara said with a neutral look.

“Um...So what now?” Dillan asked uncovering himself and continuing to wash up. “If you want you could join me.”

“I am fine, I took a shower last night, remember?” Chara asked calmly, grabbing their knife. “If you do not mind, however, I need some HATE.”

“Go ahead.” Dillan said as he washed his hair focusing his HATE for his ex girlfriend. (And there was a lot of it)

Chara smiled, reaching a hand out and absorbing the HATE, sighing in relief. “That is much better, thank you.” Chara said, walking out of the room… leaving the door wide open.

“Seriously!?” Dillan yelled as he got out and wrapped himself in a towel. Chara simply looked back with a teasing smile, waving as they left. “Bitch.” Dillan chuckled getting dressed.

“So what should we do today?” Dillan asked Chara in the main bedroom, because the main door still had the green barrier on it.

“I do not know, I hear the others were going to go on a picnic of some sort.” Chara said, dispelling the barrier.

“A picnic? Ok.” Dillan shrugged smirking as he quickly kissed their cheek. “That's for leaving the door open.”

“Do it more often then?” Chara asked, a faint blush over what was already on their face.

“What leave the door open or kiss your cheek?” Dillan asked. “Because even though I said it was for leaving the door open I don't need an excuse for kissing you…” Dillan blushed as well.

“Let’s just go.” Chara said, walking forward.

“Alright.” Dillan smirked kissing their cheek again before walking ahead of them, winking at them. Chara just sighed, as if in annoyance, shaking their head and smiling slightly.

“Sup.” Dillan yawned as they got to the throne room.

“Howdy.” Applejack smirked as pinkie was singing.

“Dillan and Chara sitting in a tree~” Pinkie pie sang Making Dillan grone.

“Seriously?” Dillan asked.

“I did not know that we were all eight.” Chara deadpanned, unamused at the singing.

“It's pinkie pie, just ignore her.” Twilight said.

“And what's your excuse for spying on us?” Dillan asked.

“We wanted to see if you were alright darling but then things got cute.” Rarity said.

“When, exactly, did you start spying?” Chara asked.

“Um…. Right when Dillan asked you out on a date once you were both feeling up to it.” Fluttershy said.

“That is not that bad.” Chara said, shrugging.

“Yeah, and they didn't hear anything after.” Dillan smiled remembering last night.

“Good.” Chara said simply. “May we get on with the picnic now?”

“Yes quite.” Rarity said.

“Alright.” Twilight said as they all left. They were all at the picnic, and twilight got a letter and then started singing.

“This isn't normal right?” Dillan whispered to Chara.

“I have a feeling it is.” Chara deadpanned, looking very unamused.

“This is going to get annoying fast isn't it?” Dillan whispered.

“It already is.” Chara growled, twitching dangerously.

“Hey relax, this is just their way of expressing themselves.” Dillan said as twilight finished singing.

“I will try.” Chara said simply.

“I doubt it'll be that bad.” Dillan chuckled.

“I have a feeling they sing… a lot.” Chara said, frowning. “Whatever… when are we going?”

“Right now.” Twilight said angrily.

“I will meet you all there.” Chara said, starting to walk towards Canterlot, before teleporting away.

“Let's go.” Dillan said as they all went  to the train station, and then to canterlot.

“Shining armor!!” Twilight said angrily when they all got to canterlot. “Why didn't you tell me you were getting married!?”

“Twily I wanted to but there was a threat to canterlot.” Shining armor said as he used his magic to re enhance the force field, as shining armor and twilight spoke, Dillan sat down and put his hand in his lap.

“This is going to be boring.” He muttered.

“Most likely.” Chara commented, appearing next to him.

“Oh hey.” Dillan said smirking. “Why don't we look around?”  Chara shrugged, not caring.  Dillan stood up and started walking through the castle, he noticed a pink alicorn.

“Hi.” Dillan said to her.

“H-hello.” The alicorn said surprised. Chara narrowed their eyes, suddenly tense.

“Your SOUL does not appear like the other ponies.” They stated.

“W-what?” The alicorn said sweat dropping. “Of course I'm a pony.”

“Unidentified DNA detected.” The Omnitrix stated as a yellow light went over the pink alicorn.

“No your not.” Dillan said.

“What have you done?” Chara asked, sliding their knife out, it glowing a light blue as they pointed it at the false-pony, a light blue rope of a similar light wrapping around the false ponies neck. “Do not attempt to teleport, or you will lose your head.”

“I...I…” The pony said.

Dillan popped up the dile on the Omnitrix, right as a circle of green flames surrounded him. “What!?”  Chara growled, pulling a little with their knife, making the light blue rope dig into the false ponies throat warningly.

“Let me go or you'll never see your friend again.” The ponies said as the circle started to become a dome and shrink.

“I know perfectly well that you cannot teleport him far, it will not be hard to find him.” Chara growled. “Let him go, or you don’t live.”

The pony whiltered and let Dillan go right as the other ponies came in.

“What are you doing to my fiance!?” Shining armor yelled.

“This is not your fiance, it does not have a ponies SOUL.” Chara said calmly.

“That's impossible!” Shining armor yelled. “Release her!”

“She isn't your fiance shining armor, she's this.” Dillan said slapping down the Omnitrix and transformed into a changeling.

“A changeling!?” Celestia and Luna said.

“I have a feeling mind control is involved here, would someone please restrain the groom until such a time that he is freed of it?” Chara suggested.

Dillan transformed back and then into Diamondhead, wrapping Shining Armor up in Crystals. “How's that?”

“That should suffice… Celestia, Luna, what would you recommend is done to this creature?” Chara asked.

“Well first we need to find out where the real bride is.” Dillan said.

“He has a point, we need to find our niece.” Luna said.

“I shall keep the creature restrained then.” Chara said.

“She tried to teleport me somewhere, I'm betting it was the same place she has the bride.” Dillan said getting in the ponies face. “Where is she?” He asked but the pony/changeling just head-butted him making him bleed.

Chara, calmly, walking up to the Changeling, knife still restraining her… and socked her right in the face, making the chitin around the changelings nose make a violent crunch, the wound bleeding as the changeling was knocked out.

“Wow.” Dillan said. “What brought that up?”

“You are currently the closest thing I have to a friend on this world, I do not like people hurting my friends.” Chara said calmly, the knife losing its glow as they let it dangle at their side. Chara reached out, a strange neon pink light exiting Chrysalis.

“You do not deserve the love you have taken, insect.” Chara stated coldly to the knocked out being. Their knife then glew a sickening black, tapping the ball of love with it, turning the love into HATE. “I will be repurposing it for myself.” They said, absorbing the new ball of hate.

“Wow.” Dillan said again as Celestia got uncomfortably close to Dillan as she started looking at his wound. “Um…” Dillan said uncomfortably.

“Celestia.” Chara said warningly.

“I'm just trying to heal his wound.” Celestia said innocently as Dillan took the opportunity to move as far from her as possible.

“You are using magic, you do not need to rub against him.” Chara said.

Celestia pouted. “Fine.”

Dillan glanced at Chara. “Thank you.”

“You are welcome.” Chara said, walking to a window, before frowning. “Is it supposed to be cloudy today?”

“No it's not.” Rainbow dash said.

“Then what is that dark cloud?” Chara asked, pointing to something the rest couldn’t see.

“Oh no.” Dillan said. “When I was a changeling I mentally heard that there was an army of changelings outside the bubble, apparently changelings work like a bee hive.” He said.

“This will be… fun.” Chara said, smiling darkly.

The fake pony woke up groggily, using her magic to teleport Dillan away. Chara growled, spinning on their head and tossing their knife directly into the changelings head, killing it.

“Y-y-you killed her!?” Fluttershy said shaking.

“She would have only came back to cause problems later.” Chara said coldly, walking over and stepping on the changelings head, grabbing the handle of their knife and grunting as they pulled it out.

“T-thats murder!” Luna said

“I am sorry, it appears we were not properly introduced.” Chara said, turning to the ponies and smiling demonically, their eyes turning into red slits. “Greetings, I am Chara… the demon that comes when you call their name.”

“D-demon!?” Everyone yelled.

“I did not even try that hard to hide it, I outright told you I feed on hate.” Chara said, smiling wider. “Do not worry, ponies as much as you… annoy me, you are not a threat, and therefor will be left alone. The changelings however have earned my ire… and will be eliminated.”

A diamond arm burst through the floor as Diamondhead and the real pink pony alicorn came through. “Not all changelings right? I am one technically.” Dillan asked.

“No, only her hive.” Chara said. “Which, conveniently, is right outside.”

“Want some help?” Dillan asked. “This world is kinda boring.”

“No, I will do it alone, we can spar later.” Chara said, smiling widely. “I’m about to have a good time~” Chara said, giggling demonically, it echoing.

“Aww, I wanna have fun too.” Dillan pouted.

“If you win in the spar, we can have the date early.” Chara whispered into his ear, smiling.

Dillan blushed. “O-ok.”

Chara smiled, teleporting above the shield covering Canterlot. “Greetings, changings, I am CHARA the demon that comes when you call their name.”  Chara said, knife slowly glowing yellow as they charged a attack.

“Your queen has angered me, so she is dead… and you are next.” I continued, smiling wider at the HATE I felt coming from them.

“Kill It for killing our queen!!” A changeling yelled as they all charged at them. Chara smiled, pointing their knife forward and letting the attack lose… a large yellow beam cutting through the swarm of Changelings, killing most of them in one shot.

“Ah, my favorite kind of LOVE.” Chara commented as their LV raised to 15. They smiled as they charged the changeling hoard, knife bared.

“I-it's insane, run!!!!” Another changeling yelled as they tried to leave”.

“No you don’t.” Chara said, knife flashing red as a similarly colored barrier appeared surrounding them and the changelings. “You only leave DEAD!” Chara shouted, charging.

“N-no, please!” The changelings cried.

“MERCY or GENOCIDE.” Chara sang, as if remembering something they had listened to. “SORRY FOR YOU, YOU DON’T GET TO DECIDE!” They said, knife glowing red.

“Now… welcome to my special hell~” Chara sing-songed, slashing forwards with the red blade, maknig a giant wave of red DETERMINATION fly, killing the changelings.

“That was cathartic.” Chara said, smiling as they allowed the red barrier to explode, breaking the pink one below it. They then teleported back to the group, them now at LV 20.

“Have fun?” Dillan asked.

“Yes.” Chara said, smiling. “I am even stronger now, have fun beating me in our spar later… but first, I believe a wedding is supposed to be taking place?”

“I should have guessed.” Dillan thought angrily, but kept it to himself. “Yeah, but they'll probably need a day or so to get everything set and done now.” Dillan said as the ponies

“I guess we can spar now then.” Chara said, smiling widely. “Shall we?”

“Fine.” Dillan said not caring, going to the garden.

“I will not be fighting at full, it is not fair since you have no practice with the omnitrix, while I have experience in my… abilities.” Chara said, smiling.

“Sure.” Dillan smirked, throwing a punch at them, instantly turning into humungousaur, hitting their stomach and sent them skidding back.

Chara grunted in pain, sliding back, looking up smiling. “Don’t be afraid to be rough!” They exclaimed, briefly glitching before running forward, knife glowing red. Dillan smirked and turned into his osmosian form and put a hand over the Omnitrix absorbing all the DNA in it, before running forward with XLR8 speed and stopped right In Front of Chara.

“In what way?” He asked smiling as he kissed them on the lips. Chara sputtered, knife glow vanishing as they stopped, eyes wide and taking a step back in surprise, vulnerable. Dillan used the powers he had to use super speed to take their knife and channels the powers he got from Chara, sending a red blast at them.

Chara teleport away from the attack, smiling widely. “A challenge, good!” They cried, hands glowing yellow briefly, before a revolver formed. “Let’s try a little bit of this, shall we?” She asked, shooting at him.

Dillan smiled and used his absorbed diamondhead powers to grow a protective sphere around himself, blocking the attack.

He heard a giggle from behind, not reacting quite in time for Charas slash at his back, them having retrieved their knife at some point.

“Not bad.” Dillan said as his shirt ripped revealing cannonbolt like shell on his back. He grabbed Chara's arms and put his forehead to theirs, looking into their eyes. “You know we could do anything in here and no one could notice.” He smiled.

Chara simply smiled, knife glowing red. “Welcome to my special hell~” They sing songed, throwing the knife into the ground, making it turn red, before teleporting away to grab it, then vanish from sight.

Dillan transformed into cannonbolt completely and curled up as the ground exploded, feeling pain through his protective shell.

Chara giggled as they re-appeared. “This is fun.” They said.

Dillan reverted back to normal, covered in dirt and dust, unmoving. Charas smile quickly dropped, walking over, worried.

“Did I overdo it?” They asked as they neared him.

Dillan smirked and grabbed them pinning them to the ground, transforming into an osmosian again, blasting their knife with a white blast, making it fly out of sight. “Nope.”

“You win.” Chara said, sighing in mock disappointment.

“Nice try, I know you have more fight in you than that.” Dillan smirked.

“I could, but I would end up killing you if I did anything else… your HP is at ten.” Chara said.

“You can see health?” Dillan asked getting up, and holding out a hand for them.

“Yes, it is an ability called ‘CHECK’.” Chara said, accepting the hand up.

“Oh.” Dillan said as a blush formed. “S-sorry about the kiss…”

“It is fine, it was a good tactic to catch me off guard.” Chara praised. “Do not expect it to work twice.”

“I… I liked it.” Dillan admitted.

“It… was not bad.” Chara agreed, faintly blushing.

“S-so what now?” Dillan asked.

“I believe you won, so that means that you may take me on a date now.” Chara said.

“I may?” Dillan chuckled. “I suppose…” Dillan said thinking. “What would you like to do?”

“I have already killed an entire species, so that is out.” Chara said, shrugging. “Perhaps dinner or a picnic would suffice?”

“Well you don't really need to eat though… I wish they had movies here.” Dillan said.

“I believe they have theater's.” Chara commented.

“I suppose, but that costs money…” Dillan sighed. “I suck at this, I guess this is why she cheated.” Dillan said sadly sitting down.

“Dillan, I just saved the entirety of Canterlot from a hostile invasion in the sky, somepony will have have seen it and vouch for us, we should be fine.” Chara said.

“I suppose.” Dillan said.

“You could also take me to somewhere you like.” Chara suggested.

“Hmmm…” Dillan thought for a moment. “I haven't really seen that much of equestria.”

“Just attempt to make it romantic in some way.” Chara said, shrugging.

“Alright…” Dillan said thinking. “How about we go flying?”

“That sounds fun.” Chara said.

“Alright.” Dillan said transforming into a dragon. “Hop on.” He said opening his wings.

Chara smiled, teleporting on.

“Do you have to teleport all the time?” Dillan asked chuckling.

“It is faster.” Chara said, shrugging.

“Alright.” Dillan laughed, taking off into the air. Chara smiled wider, holding onto one of his spines. “That tickles.” Dillan laughed.

Chara giggled, starting to stroke the spine, trying to tickle him.

“Come on!” Dillan laughed louder. Chara smiled evilly, reaching back to stroke two at the same time.

“Stop please!!” Dillan laughed louder, starting to flail around.

“Alright.” Chara said, relenting, before moving so that they were on top of his head, holding onto his horns to stay on.

“Am I comfortable?” Dillan asked.

“Very.” Chara said, smiling, enjoying the view.

“I like the breeze.” Dillan smiled. Chara hummed in agreement, rocking a little. “What should we do now?”

“I dunno.” Chara admitted. “I’ve never… done anything like this before.”

“This is your first date?” Dillan asked.

“Y-yes.” Chara said, blushing more.

Dillan flipped around, tossing Chara into the air and caught them while gliding on his back, smiling at them. “It's ok, I'll make it special.” He smiled softly at them.

Chara blushed more, their eyes finally returning to their brown from the red vertical slits they were before.

“You're really cute when you blush.” Dillan smiled.

“T-thanks.” Chara stuttered.

“You don't have to be nervous.” Dillan smiled landing on a cliff, transforming back. “Look.” He said as the sun started setting and the moon rose.

“This is… nice.” Chara said.

Dillan smiled and kissed their cheek. “It is.” He said sitting down, with Chara on his lap. “Especially with you here.” Chara smiled a large, genuine smile, closing their eyes and leaning back into DIllan.

“I have an idea if you want to eat.” Dillan smiled.

“What’s that?” Chara asked, their voice sounding more… human.

“Well, spike has a bunch of meat in his own little fridge so I could make us some spaghetti or something.” Dillan smiled.

“That sounds nice.” Chara said.

Dillan looked up at the night sky, and smiled softly humming a soft tune that his mother used to sing. Eventually, Chara fell asleep, smile and cuddling into Dillans chest. Dillan smiled and chuckled lightly, transforming into his dragon form again and slowly flew back to the castle without waking Chara up. He got back to the crystal castle and went to his room, laying down with Chara laying on his chest transforming back and falling asleep.
