Excalibur’s Adventures
By Knightwolf1875
Chapter One

Looking around a young Alicorn mare sighed as her aunt and mother put they plan into action. The light silver with cyan glove and sock fur anthro pulled her cyan/white wings in close as her mother ran out of the room with her aunt’s cake. “I swear you two never grow up.” She muttered as she walked over to the table where a history book as sitting. “Aunt Tia, you do know somepony is going to have to help them with this little hunt right?”

Celestia looked over at Excalibur Edge, her niece, with a sigh. “I do. Of course I wasn’t going to ask you to do this. You just got back from home and dealing with those artifacts.” The white Alicorn said getting up to get that CD from Luna’s room. “Besides, you’re the only one to keep Daring from running off to explore this world after all.” She stopped when the younger Alicorn snapped the book shut, and three boxes appeared in front of the solar mare. “Are these my cakes?”

“You only get them if you leave those CDs alone.” Excalibur said putting the book down. “You know how mom gets when you do this.” She grinned turning around and walking for the doorway. “I was thinking of going for a dive in that area anyway. Besides, it’s not like there’s anypony around there that has scuba gear for ponies anyway.” Excalibur chuckled as she walked out of the room. “Please, you’re my family now and I want to be a better daughter then I was…was a son to my family.”

As the younger Alicorn left the room Celestia sighed remembering how much things changed for the poor girl. It wasn’t an easy thing to do, but it was for the best really. She is the only one to really get out there and speak knowing for what after all. “At least Luna has the foal she wanted even if it wasn’t meant to happen like that.” She chuckled before opening the cake box, and getting a face full of said cake. “EXCALIBUR!!!!”

Flashback

When it all began

A young man was busy trying to get around his writers block by watching a Youtube video about MLP. He had brown hair, blue eyes, wore glasses, and slightly tanned skin (he didn’t get out much for a better tan). Arthur was chatting with the people of MLP: Theory Analysts about pony OCs, and how they would best fit into the show. All in theory of course, but something felt odd with how the chat was going.
Arthur rubbed his eyes feeling tired after nearly an hour of chat with the Analysts. “It’s been fun chatting with you all like this, but I need to crash out.”

“Of course, Knightwolf1875.” The return text said. “We might even have something for you when you return. For now get some rest and thanks for sharing your OC with us.”

Well that was kind of odd. “I wonder what they mean by that.” He muttered before yawning while stretching his arms. “Well, I’ll just see about it later.” Arthur went about getting ready for bed, shower, brush teeth, wonder why his computer was glowing again…Huh, what?!
For some reason the screen was glowing a soft silver color. He saw an e-mail from the Analysts waiting for him. “That was oddly quick, but I guess they’re just that good is all.” The young man said before clicking the message and was nearly blinded when his OCs cutie mark appeared. “ACK! Bright light! Bright light!” It faded quickly enough that it didn’t leave him seeing spots, but it still left him with a slightly strange feeling. Looking to the screen again Arthur saw a link to a video about OCs, and Excalibur Edge, his OC, was the main character for it.

He was a little stunned to see that a video was up about his OC. Not one to take it for a bad thing he opened the link and enjoyed the moment. Arthur did take note of how quickly they did get pictures of her, and many showed her with the Mane 6. “When were those even made?” He thought often during the video.

After sending a quick thank you for the video, and feeling overly drained for some reason. As soon as his head hit the pillow Arthur was out like a light, and that was when something happened. Light silver fur started to grow across his body with cyan colored fur on his hands. His feet shifted painlessly into hooves as cyan fur grew down from his knees, and the hooves also turned cyan. Next was his sex making him, now her groan a little as breast grew on her chest. Her body thinned some to a more feminine, but toned build as a twelve inch horn grew from her forehead and her face pushed out into a muzzle. Cyan/white wings sprouted out of her back as she coughed to mark her voice changing, her tail quickly grew out next as her hair turned from brown to ruby red with gold highlights to match her tail. The new Alicorn mare slept on like nothing had happened as someone appeared in her room just as the wind began to howl.

The next morning Excalibur groaned feeling a little off key. She dragged herself out of bed naked, and slowly rubbed her face. The mare didn’t even know anything was wrong as she went toward the bathroom. Only to trip over a rug that shouldn’t have been there, and landed on the silk soft rug. That was when things started to click in her mind as she looked around the room.

“Okay, I’m not wearing my glasses however I can see…What’s with my voice?” She asked fear raising some, but she shook it way. “Stay calm. Freaking out isn’t going to fix this, so first…I need a mirror.” Excalibur got to her hooves looking for a mirror and saw the open door to a private bath. She went in, felt around for a light switch for a moment, before turning on the lights. “This is one big bathroom.” She muttered in surprise seeing the huge bath tub and shower on her right. Left were the sink, cabinet, and toilet that looked normal enough. It was the wall mirror that held her attention as she now saw who she was. “I-I’m Excalibur?! How?” She blinked looking herself over blushing. “I look better than I thought I would. I mean she, me…This is making my head spin again.”

“Maybe you should get dressed first, Arthur.” A voice said behind her making her blush brighter. “Or should I call you Excalibur now?” Turning toward the voice Excalibur legs nearly gave out as she came face to face with Princess Luna dressed in blue jeans, black shirt, and holding some clothes. “I hope you don’t mind if I try calling you ‘Daughter’ do you?” When the silver mare slowly shook her head Luna giggled. “Lost your voice already?” The lunar mare teased setting the clothes to the side and hands the stunned mare some underwear.

Excalibur took the offered underwear as the shock wore off. “Okay, what happened and why am I here, Luna? This is way too real to be a dream as it did hurt when I tripped on a rug.” She looked at the red panties and bra with a slight blush. “Lace? Red lace underwear?”

“I thought it looked cute.” Luna said brushing some of the young mare’s mane out of her face. “Also you have a slight winter coat, and those will help with keeping you cool.” Her grin faded as Excalibur started to get dress. “Tia wanted me to not say anything but the reason you’re here is because a tornado hit your town.”

The young Alicorn looked at Luna shocked. “What?! You’re saying I would have been killed if you left me there?”

Nodding her head Luna helped Excalibur with her bra, and fixed her tail. “If it wasn’t for the transformation spell being fresh on you I wouldn’t have got to you before it hit. Your family is safe, but the apartment was ripped clean to the ground. I’m sorry I couldn’t do more.”
Excalibur was feeling rushed with all this information, and learned that she might have died if left at her apartment. She didn’t have long to think about it as Luna adjusted her bra making her squeak. “H-hey, easy with that thing. Also this is feeling really rushed with everything you’re telling me, Luna. What’s the hurry?”

Luna sighed as the young Alicorn started getting her pants on. “Blueblood somehow learned about you, and is already making plans. I’m sorry to rush you after you just woke up and had to learn all this. But if we don’t get going soon he’ll be trying to push you into being his bride.”

“You’re telling me he is that kind of stupid?” Excalibur asked getting the hang of anthro pony clothes now. She pulled the blue t-shirt on with only a little help from Luna. “I thought that was just a fan theory.”

“I’m afraid not, and he’s still got it out for Rarity.” Luna stated leading her new daughter toward the door and into the hall. “We’re going to be making a small announcement about me adopting you as my daughter, and the reason behind it. This works out a little better in one way.” She grinned as they walked at a fast pace with Excalibur quickly getting her hooves under her with each step. “We need somepony to be an ambassador to your world, or other worlds. I think you might like it. It’s a bit, how could I put it, James Bond like?”

The young Alicorn rolled her eyes grinning. “Just as long as I’m not dressed to kill like the Bond girls, okay?” She frowned as her mind caught up with the events. “Could I maybe let me family know I’m okay?”

“Sorry, but the link too your world was cut by someone there.” Discord said appearing next to the mares. A frown on his face instead of a chipper grin as Excalibur had expected. “I fear somebody set the whole thing in motion to keep us out. I spent all night trying to get back before you even ask, Luna. There’s nothing I can do about it at all. The good news is I did make sure that lovely old house stood its ground like the stone it is.” He chuckled seeing the new Alicorn smile some. “Well my job here is done. I’ll be…” He was pulled into a hug by Excalibur which he returned. “I guess I can stay a little longer if you want.”

“Thanks for at least trying so hard for me.” Excalibur said holding back her tears. “Maybe later we can work on recreating my stuff from home? Could be a fun kind of chaos for us both.”

Discord chuckled slipping out of her arms like water. “You’re melting my heart, dear Cali. But you’ll be happy to know I did save all of it. I’m just keeping it safe till you get a moment to look it over.”

They neared a large pair of doors with guards on either side of it. They pushed the doors open for them as Excalibur sighed softly. “Tell you what, Discord. Set it up as a private theater for us and I’ll call it good. Deal?”

“Oh! I love how you think, my dear.” Discord said doing a back flip and hovered in the air. “Luna you must be proud of your daughter already. She’s so clever, and full of fun ideas. Makes me wonder about her skill in pranks.” He gave a mischievous grin before disappearing.

The two mares sighed entering the thorn room where Celestia was waiting for them. Unlike Luna the solar mare was dressed in a flowing white dress, and talking with a few reporters. “You questions will be answered in good time, my little ponies.” The solar mare said looking toward the Luna, and Excalibur as they came closer. “In fact, here’s my sister now with Excalibur Edge.”

Excalibur, for her part, just gulped as the group turned to them and hides behind Luna’s wing. “I’ll get you for this, Aunt Tia.” She muttered as the rush of questions made her ears ring. She was thankful for Luna, her mother now, answering most of their questions. Until one reporter, a mare with shockingly dark purple hair pulled into a ponytail, asked Excalibur something surprising. “Could you repeat that, miss?”

“Truthnote, Princess.” Truthnote said stepping forward from the group a little. “I asked if you were going to be moving to Ponyville at some point to protect it. You talent is hunting isn’t it?”

“No, it’s combat. Besides, I don’t think the ponies there need any help.” Excalibur said wondering how Truthnote got the idea of her talent. “Ponyville has the Elements of Harmony living there, and has been near the Everfree forest for many years now. I’m sure the town ponies are tougher than you give them credit for.”

The mare blinked hearing the newest princess speak so well of the small town, and grinned. “Well, thank you for that. Ponyville is my home town and I just keep hearing about the things that happen.”

“You worry about your friends and family each time you hear something, huh?” Excalibur asked getting a nod from Truthnote. “Maybe you should take some time to visit them. I’m sure they’d love to see you as well.”

“My boss won’t even let me take the weekend off.” Truthnote muttered before looking scared. “I-I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to say it…” She stopped as Luna groaned face palming. “Huh?”

“I’ll have a word with Deadline Press later about this.” The lunar mare stated flatly. “He has been warned twice before about this, and I’m guessing he still doesn’t pay well. Yes?”

A few of the reports nod their heads as Truthnote nervously chuckled. “Does barely covering the rent and food sound right?”

“Tia I’m going out for a bit.” Luna growled turning on her hoof and storming for the exit. “I’ll be fixing a few problems.”

Celestia shook her head with a sigh. “Try not to implode the building this time, please.” She looked to the reporters and smiled softly. “That’ll be all everypony. I need to have a word with my niece in private.” A few guards lead the reports out as the solar mare turned to a side door. “I’m sure you have a lot of questions yourself, Excalibur.”

“I think mom covered most of it and Discord too.” Excalibur said looking down and seeing her cutie mark on her shirt. “So that’s where Truthnote got the idea about me being a hunter. Mom also warned me about Blueblood.”

Celestia looked at the young Alicorn in shock. “And you’re not freaking out about all this, why? You’ve been pulled from your home, learned you can’t go back, and have the most…” She stopped herself seeing Excalibur grinning. “Oh, I see. You’ve already done that.”

“Only on the inside, and only a little bit even then with everything still kind of moving fast.” Excalibur stated with a half grin. “I’m sure I’ll have a break down at some point, so be ready for that moment.” Her grin faded looking out the windows as they walked to see Canterlot stretched out beyond. “Making some friends might help ease the pain too.”

“A good thing I already have a couple of teachers for you to meet.” Celestia said as they turned left away from the windows. “I’m sure they’ll also be very good friends too you as well. Maybe things will slow down then.” She couldn’t help but smile seeing Excalibur’s awed face as they walked along the castle’s halls. “Not at all like the show is it?”

The young mare shook her head taking in the many paintings, statues, and busts in the hall. “It never really showed the inside of the castle, Celestia. The fandom would be happy to know that a few things they guessed are right.” Excalibur stopped when her aunt did at a set of wooden doors with gold trim. “A bit much with the trim don’t you think, Aunt Tia?”

“You, Luna, Twilight and I all think so.” Celestia said opening the door with a smirk. The door lead into an office that Excalibur guessed was Celestia’s for more private meetings. However it was who was waiting in the office that made her nearly trip.

In a chair on her right was a yellow Pegasus mare with yellow and red streaked mane with Aviator shades on over her orange eyes. The white shirt, jeans, and flight jacket made it clear she was a top flier, but that was to be expected of Spitfire the leader of the Wonderbolts.
Next to her was another Pegasus with cyan fur, and feathers wearing workout shorts with matching sports top. Her magnet eyes widening seeing the new princess as she tried to smooth her rainbow mane some. Rainbow Dash was a little shocked seeing Excalibur but kept her mouth shut.

On Excalibur’s left was a lavender alicorn mare who waved at the silver one. Her purple mane even had the pink pin stripe, off center, running through it. Twilight Sparkle could only guess what was going though the new mare’s mind as the blond earth pony got out of her chair. Applejack reached out her hand with a friendly smile. “Nice to finally meet ya, princess. The name’s Applejack, and these here are my friends.”

“I know who you all are, Applejack. I just didn’t think you girls were the teachers my aunt was talking about.” Excalibur said shaking hands with AJ, and nearly getting pulled off her hooves. The farmer sure likes to shake hands hard alright. “You trying to shake my hand or break it, AJ? Slow it down there girl.”

“Oops. Sorry, about that.” AJ said letting go looking sheepish. “Guess I got carried away there.”

Dash was next to the silver alicorn in a second. “So you’re the new princess? I got to say you sure don’t seem like one.” Before the others could say anything Excalibur just hit Rainbow with her wing. “Yeah, I kind of deserved that one. I think we'll get along just fine.”

“I should hope so, because I might need help with a prank or two.” The silver alicorn said grinning. “Just to prove something to Discord about dropping hints.”

“What kind of hints do you mean?” Twilight asked about to launch into a list of questions. She blinked when Excalibur put a hand on her mouth.

“I just dealt with the press, so please now more questions.” The silver alicorn said with a tired smile. “Especially from you at light speed on anything, Twilight. You don’t even wait for the answer.”

The lavender mare just blinked as Excalibur pulled her hand back. “Am I really that bad?”

“Yes.” AJ and RD stated flatly getting a chuckled from Spitfire. The Wonderbolt captain got out of her chair and pulled gently on Excalibur’s left wing to inspect it.

“Can I help you?” Excalibur asked leering at the yellow Pegasus over her shoulder. She snapped her wings shut and tight to her back surprising Spitfire for a moment.

“You’ve never flown at all have you?” Spitfire asked pulling her shades off. “Your feathers look too new, you don’t have much muscle on them, but you have full control like you were born with them.” She looked at Celestia and back to Excalibur. “So what’s it like to be transformed into a pony?”

“Don’t know really as it happened while I slept.” Excalibur stated shrugging her shoulders. “Think we can talk more over lunch or something? I haven’t eaten anything yet, and could use the time to collect my thoughts.” The soft growl of her empty stomach made it clear that she was hungry. “Uh, you guys don’t mind if I want fried chicken do you? Please tell me you all are omnivorous because I’m not giving up some things.”

Twilight flinch not looking to happy about the question, Rainbow and Applejack chuckled softly as they did eat meat. For the Apple family it’s from needing the protein waiting for the crops to get better and larger in size. In Dash’s case it’s from needing the meat like most Pegasi needing it in the past, and Gilda sharing some Griffon foods. Spitfire was the one that laughed with Celestia smiling hearing the silver alicorn mare’s demand. “I think I know a place you can get something.” The Wonderbolt leader said nodding to the solar mare. “Don’t worry, Princess Celestia. Your niece is safe with us and we’ll do our best to teach her how to be a pony.”

“Maybe we should start with a normal pony meal?” Twilight asked looking nervous even if she was an alicorn now. It didn’t mean she wanted to eat meat at all.

“You do know fish is really good for your feathers right?” Rainbow asked leering at her friend. “I’ve told you every time you asked that you need to eat some meat, Twi.”

The group started heading for the door but Celestia stopped them.“I nearly forgot something, Excalibur.” Celestia said floating a bag of coins to her niece. “As a Princess you have a lot of wealth you use now, but please don’t go to crazy with it.”

“Besides lunch and some extra cloths would be nice.” Excalibur said hugging the bag a little shock at how much gold, or bits, was in it. “Thanks, Aunt Tia. I’ll try not to spend it all at once.” She smiled turning to walk with the other mares for a little town on the town. “We better hurry if we want to…”

“Want to do what, cousin?” The stuffy voice of Blueblood asked as he stood in the doorway. “Go out into the city among the common ponies? I think not as I have a better idea of how you can spend your time. Oh, and I can get somepony else to be your teachers if you want.” The way he said it was smooth, but clearly with an air of believing he had the best way to help Excalibur.

It was the look in his eyes that made the silver alicorn growl baring her teeth some to show a pair of fangs. “No thanks, cousin.” She hissed stepping toward Blueblood before shoving him out of the way. “I know where I stand in how I view others, and you aren’t worth the time of day.” Excalibur surprised the others, and Blueblood when she used her magic to lift the spoiled prince into the air. “Try making a move to use me like that again and I’ll remove your smaller head. Understood?” If her voice could have been any colder it was lost on Celestia as her nephew looked somewhere between enraged and terrified.

“F-fine, but next time I’ll…” Blueblood didn’t get to finish his sentence as he was slammed head first into a trash can that appeared. “Let’s go.” Excalibur nearly snapped rubbing her forehead. “I need some fresh air.”

Excalibur’s Adventure CH.2

By Knightwolf1875

Trying as best she could to not storm down the hall with Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack, and Spitfire after her still a little shocked at how she quickly used her magic. Excalibur sighed loudly as she neared a corner, stopped, and leaned on the wall. “Oh for the love of all that’s holy my head hurts!” The young alicorn groaned trying to rub the pain away. “Does it always hurt like this the first time using magic?” She looked to Twilight as the lavender mare gently pulled Excalibur’s hand from her head.

“Well, you not only lifted a grown stallion and made a trash can appear out of nowhere.” Twilight stated using a weak ice spell to help with the headache by holding it in her hand, and pressing it to the other alicorn’s forehead. “You also have a lot to still deal with and we only know maybe half of it. So you might be dealing with a little mana burnout as well. This will help some with the headache.”

“I know Blueblood can get under anypony’s skin, but to get that much anger in one go is a little surprising.” Applejack pointed out as the yells of the offended stallion could be heard. “Then again it is that stuck up nopony we’re talking about.”

Excalibur sighed feeling the cool on her head. “That does feel better. Sorry if I scared you girls, but after Luna told me he wanted to marry me. I kind of just lost it.” She grinned softly. “Also I should point out I might have made that trashcan on the spot.”

Spitfire helped the new alicorn off the wall and the group started walking again. “Yeah, he would do that for the power. While he is good with dealing with ambassadors from other lands, and even some of the more pushy nobles around Canterlot. He still looks for ways to get power for a throne that will never be empty, or to take it.” She had hints of anger in her voice as they head down t the hallway. “He even tried to trick me into helping him once, but you can guess how that went.”

“Would that be why Aunt Tia asked mom not to implode another building?” Excalibur asked with a grin getting a few chuckles from the other girls. “If it is I’m sure his room is next after all this.” She turned the topic toward something else as they walked on to find the way out of the castle. Meanly to find out where she was in the timeline compared to the show, and how to keep from getting headaches because of her magic too.

Nearly an hour and half later, plus a snack stop to ease the hunger pains, the mares were at a little dinner not far from Rarity’s shop in Canterlot enjoying their meal. Excalibur was in awe at what all she saw in the large city, and even how quickly she was getting use to her new body that was eighteen again. Though having others kneel to her was nothing she wasn’t to comfy with, and it seemed Twilight wasn’t too happy about it either. Also Excalibur learned she’s somewhere before season six as Starlight Glimmer wasn’t part of the group yet, or even Flurry Heart being born. Those events were going to be fun, hopefully without her being in the middle of it. Though with learning Rarity’s Boutique opened just two weeks ago helped out a lot in knowing what’s going to happen at least.

Of course Excalibur shared information on who she was, and what happened as best she knew. Turned out Rainbow lost a bet with Twilight on the new alicorn being human, and Luna adopting her as well was just icing on the cake. Spitfire wanted to know more about the military of humans, but Applejack could tell it wasn’t something Excalibur felt like talking about. So the earth pony mare asked something else.
“So are you going to try being a part of Nightmare Night, Excalibur?” Applejack asked before taking another bite of her salad with pieces of fried chicken. She also had a tall glass of ice tea to go with it, and a slice of apple pie nearby.

“I was thinking about it, and I already have a few ideas in mind.” Excalibur said enjoying her all meat pizza, much to Twilights shock. “I’ll need to see what the anime is like here as I’m thinking of dressing as a Gundam.” She also had a, surprisingly, A&W root beer with a chocolate cake slice near her.

Rainbow and Spitfire’s ears stood straight up at the word “Gundam”. Dash put her taco down with a half grin and took a drink of her Dr. Pepper. She also had a large slice of cake next to her. “You had that where you came from too? One of the things Discord shared with everypony as a way to say sorry after helping Tirek. He set things up for us to have some of the gundam stuff. Heck he even got us a ton of gunpla and battle stations too.”

“It’s about the only thing we got really as he couldn’t risk anything else.” Spitfire said sipping her own ice tea. Her pick for lunch was chicken wrapped in bacon, and pumpkin pie near her for dessert. “Other than a few other shows, movies, and tons of video games that is. The guy’s just a big kid at heart when you get to see the nice side of him.” She sighed looking relaxed for once. “Makes you wonder how we couldn’t see that before he was lonely. Anyway, sounds like you’re going to need some extra training to fly before Nightmare Night.”

“Now Spitfire you can’t be thinking of giving her that kind of training are you?” Twilight asked eating, while not happy about it, chicken strips with fries, (AN: As in made from potatoes not hay), and with a large root beer float waiting for her. “She needs to learn how to use her magic first, and I’ve already got a lesson plan in mind.”

“How about we space it out so each of you can teach me without burning me out, and you Twilight.” Excalibur said pointing a fork at her to effusive the point more. “Had better make darn sure it’s basic magic lessons and not the “Twilight Sparkle basics” of magic, or some help me I’ll super glue your bedroom door shut.” She couldn’t keep a straight face while saying the threat which got everypony to laugh a little. “Okay, okay. Not my best threat but it’s all I had at the moment.”

Applejack shook her head chuckling. “It’s a good start at least. Ya’ll think we should see Rarity after we’re done here?” She moved to her pie as Excalibur saw a light lavender coat behind her at the other table. “You did want to get some more clothes, Excalibur?” AJ picked up on the alicorn looking at something behind her, but didn’t turn. “You okay, sugar cube?”

“Uh? Yeah, I just thought I saw somepony you girls know is all.” Excalibur said getting a twitch from the mare before she bolted. “I thought as much. Guess she’ll be more careful now.” She thought before saying. “Getting clothes is on my list, so let’s check in on Rarity. Just make sure she doesn’t go overbroad with the designs, or at least help me keep her from doing so.”

“Like you need to ask?” Rainbow said woofing down her dessert. “Once we explain things a little I’m sure she’ll behave herself.” She looked away before saying. “Maybe.”

“Let’s hope so, RD.” Excalibur said digging into her cake as AJ looked behind herself to see what the young alicorn was looking at. “She’s gone, AJ. You girls really need to watch your backs more with Glimmer out there.” Applejack really didn’t look happy turning back to the table and her pie. “Relax, you just have to keep an eye open for her is all. Next time she should wear something other than a tank top, and shorts. Her colors are a big giveaway.”

Twilight groaned as Rainbow laughed before they both got to their desserts, and ate them. They finished their food quickly and Excalibur left a large tip as well. The group made its way toward Rarity’s shop with Spitfire looking around for the one mare that could be trouble. Excalibur pointed out that Starlight was long gone after getting the glare from the alicorn. It wasn’t going to be easy as she knew Starlight was going to target her at some point, but for now she was getting ready to meet Rarity. Which meant Excalibur was getting ready for the fashion attack that was coming as they neared the boutique, and whoever else is in the shop that might over react to a pair of Alicorns entering.

Those worries didn’t seem to be on Twilight’s mind as she went up the stairs and opened the door with Excalibur right behind her. Once inside the younger alicorn was in awe at the outfits on display that Rarity made. There was even swim wear toward the back that both Rarity and Sassy Saddles were putting up. Excalibur was so busy looking around the shop that she almost didn’t notice the two unicorns turn around, and sees the group.

Sassy was wearing her normal designer black dress like in the show, but without the saddle (thankfully). Her slim figure had a bit of tone to it to show she worked out to keep herself healthy. “Princess Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Spitfire, and Applejack it’s so good to see you girls again!” She said giving them a big grin before noticing the new mare with them. “And you brought a…new Princess?”

Wearing a red silk shirt, white vest, and a short black dress the white Unicorn walked over with Sassy and hugged her friends. “Twilight, you have to tell me who this lovely mare is.” She started to look Excalibur over as she talked. “I have to say darling your colors are a rare and lovely sight.” Rarity said gently opening the young Alicorn’s left wing before stopping herself. “Sorry about that, dear. I got a little inspired seeing your lovely coloring was all. I’m Rarity and it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“It’s okay, Rarity. You’re not the first one to look at my wings.” Excalibur said shooting a grin at Spitfire. “I’m Luna’s adopted daughter, Excalibur Edge. Nice to meet you, and hope we can keep the wild ideas for clothing to a minimal.” She half joked as she let Rarity look at her wing more. “Go ahead. I was thinking of getting some more clothes, and maybe some swim wear too. I like the look of a few designs.” Excalibur hold up her hand to stop Rarity of getting her fashion ideas going. “But! I’m a function before fashion kind of thinker. Just a fair warning about me on this kind of thing is all.”

Rarity blinked looking at the four mares with Excalibur. “Is there something I’m missing here, girls?”

“Maybe we should tell you in private.” Twilight said pulling her unicorn friend to the side with Spitfire. “I’m sure Sassy can get the measurements from Excalibur while we talk.”

“I’ll just hang close by incase they need anything.” Rainbow said eyeing a few of the swim suits with a light blush on her cheeks. “It’s not like I’m going to get anything. Really!”

They giggled as they split into two groups. Applejack, Spitfire, Rarity, and Twilight went to the back room to talk. Meanwhile Sassy, Rainbow, and Excalibur were in the dressing room to get the measurements. This left explaining to Rarity about Excalibur a much easier job, and also helps in shorten the time without Dash adding extra to make it sound cooler.

Excalibur pulled her shirt off with a little help from Rainbow. “How can a shirt be any kind of trouble being pulled off?” The alicorn asked getting the piece of clothing off. “Finally! I was starting to feel oddly over heated.”

Sassy started to measure Excalibur while using her magic to write down the sizes. She gently felt the Alicorn’s fur. “You seem to have a winter coat already, dear. How do you keep your coat so soft like this? It’s like silk just like your feathers.” Sassy gently touched Excalibur’s feathers making the alicorn blush softly. “What kind of shampoo are you using to keep this lovely softness?”

“I’m not really sure?” Excalibur said a little nervous looking to Dash for help but the Pegasus shrugged her shoulders. “I just use what feels good on my skin I guess?” She hoped it was enough as she had no idea what to use on her coat, mane and feathers in the first place.

“I’m sure being a princess means you have the best in life. That must cover even the best bathing soaps.” Sassy said with a grin as she wrote down a few color ideas to match the young alicorn’s coloring. “I don’t think I’ve seen anypony with this light of silver in their coloring. In fact it’s almost white when in the light.” She pats the alicorn mare’s hip. “Get these pants off please. I need to measure around there too.”

“Now might be a good time to tell you I’m adopted.” Excalibur said blushing more as she took her pants off. “It’ll be in the news anyway. I wonder how things are going with Luna, eh, mom with that one guy.”

“You mean the one that works his reporters into the ground with little pay?” Rainbow asked getting a nod from the alicorn. “I’m sure she’s setting him straight without too much trouble.” At that moment a soft explosion was heard. “Or not?”

A few minutes before the explosion

Meanwhile with Twilight and her little group in the backroom explain things to Rarity. “That’s about all we now know, Rarity.” Applejack said after Twilight explained most of what they learned from Celestia before the press meeting, and from Excalibur herself. “So think you can give the mare a little break from your normal fashion ideas?”

“Darling, I’m surprised you’d have to ask me that.” The white unicorn said a bit offended. “But I do understand why you would as I do get a little carried away.”

“A little?” Spitfire asked flatly. “You get scary when you really get going on a wild idea, Rarity. It is kind of well known after all.”

“Okay, I get very carried away.” Rarity deadpanned. “Still I can do a few nice things for the dear girl. A trip to the spa sounds like a good start once we get to Ponyville, or maybe a lovely silk dress to match her lovely colors.”

Twilight face palmed. “Here we go again.” She sighed as they heard the same soft explosion. “I thought only Ponyville could be this bad.”

Two hours Later

Excalibur was letting out a sigh of relief as they left the store with a few bags of clothes. After Twilight explained everything to Rarity it had lead to a long few hours of being fitted, and trying on a lot of clothes. At first it wasn’t bad until Rarity started to get really into some ideas. Excalibur had to grab the unicorn by the shoulders to make her stop before being turned into a dress up doll. So instead she offered to come back later after Rarity had made a few dresses, and go from there.

“That was a close one.” Rainbow said looking in her bag with a sly grin. “I thought you were going to shake Rarity for a moment. I mean sure it wasn’t needed, but it would have been funny.”

Excalibur rolled her eyes, something she noted that she’s been doing a lot of, at Dash’s words. “You wouldn’t think it’s that funny if I did it too you. Are you forgetting the times your friends had to probably do the same to you?”

Rainbow groaned as the other giggled as they kept going. Until Excalibur spotted a hobby store and got a grin on her face. “Since I still have a bag full of bits, and the biggest gunpla fan dream has been gifted by Discord to the world. I’m going to grab a few models, and start practicing building them again.” The Alicorn went in without waiting for the others to respond.

Twilight blinked before shrugging her shoulders. “Well, I guess we don’t have any other way of doing this.”

“Twi, does this have something to do with your brother’s fantasy game?” Applejack asked grinning pulling her friend toward the store. “Ah am sure we’d love to hear about it.”

Twilight just tried to run off only for Dash to help pull her into the store grinning as well. Spitfire chuckled walking in behind them. “I need to get the new dungeon master book anyway. The guys have a game night this Friday.” Stepping into the store she stopped dead in her tracks. “Now this is a store!” The shop was well designed with shelves full of books, models, action figures, board games, and even trading cards from all over.

Excalibur was taking to a jet black unicorn mare with gold eyes, a mane and tail of forest green. She was wearing a black bikini top with silver trim, a grey vest, and white short-shorts. Her cutie mark was four cards with comic books on them. Her name is Fantasy Dream, and talking with the Alicorn about a few of the gundam models. “I have to say you sure know what you want to do, Cali.” Dream said with a hint of Scottish accent in her voice.

“Only because I have been dreaming of making this for a long time.” Excalibur said, her tail swishing behind her in excitement. “I can’t believe you get these from the factory itself! How can a portal be kept open for something like that, and still have a world of humans?” She didn’t notice how the others were shocked by how the two mares were getting long.

Twilight shook her head hearing the question. “Well, that’s simple! The energy used in those battle systems is like rare magic energy, so their world is full of what’s needed to link with ours.” She looked around as the small group just looked at the lavender alicorn mare. “What? I researched it in depth when even Discord was at a loss for understanding.”

“If I see one of Team Try Fighters in here I’m going to freak.” Excalibur stated flatly at Twilight. Turning back to Fantasy Dream she pulled out the coins to pay for the models. “Thanks for helping me get started, Dream.”

“Think nothing of it, Cali. Anything for a fellow Gundam fan.” Dream said turning to the others grinning. “How may I help you ladies?”

Spitfire, Rainbow, Applejack, and Twilight got what they either needed, or something that seemed interesting. Turned out Fantasy really is good with helping others find the right hobby. Heck she even gave Dash some tips for the game night Spitfire asked her to join with the Wonderbolts. AJ got a few models herself to build with Applebloom, and Twilight finally found something that was outside her zone that was fun. Excalibur was looking forward to a few card duels wither later.

“I think she’ll fit in just fine with a little more help from some friends.” Dream said looking at the small group of humans Discord had with him. “I’d ask how he talked you all into coming here, but I know better. Welcome to ‘Dream’s Hobby Shop’ Team Try Fighters and friends.”

Author's Note

So we have the rest of the day and a Discord level twist in the world. Well, they had to be looking into other worlds after all and Discord thought Gunpla would bring the right kind of chaos like fun.

Let me know what you think please, but no flames. I still have Deadpool and Discord on speed dial.

Long Talks and New Friends

Excalibur’s Adventure CH. 3
By Knightwolf1875

The walk back to the castle was uneventful as the small group talked about the hobby shop, and how Rarity would freak just seeing Fantasy Dream’s colors with her taste in clothing. Excalibur found it to be right for the job she picked, and Dream did look a lot like an anime girl with that body. Rainbow just wondered how she kept the top in place as it seemed a little small. Twilight wouldn’t say a word as she blushed whenever asked, and Applejack teased her a little about it. Spitfire was busy trying to understand the GP-Base which led to Excalibur face palming for a moment.

“Would you just read the booklet already?” The silver Alicorn asked as the devise beeped for the seventh time. “You’re going to break it at this rate.” Excalibur had pulled out one of her GP-Bases to read the instructions on how to program it, and made a note to get a few battle stations for Gunpla battles. “I wonder if Aunt Tia would have a problem with us going over to the Gunpla world?”

Applejack pulled her hat over her eyes a little. “Be better than what I had to deal with.” She muttered the silver alicorn noticed a silver necklace with a few coins on it. “Ah wonder how those rangers are doing?” The earth pony mare thought as Excalibur tried to figure out what that was about.

“Hey, when are you going to tell us where you got that necklace anyway, AJ?” Rainbow asked as they neared the castle. “You were gone for a week after that weird storm hit town.”

“Sorry, but you wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” Applejack said grinning. “Besides, Ah can have a secret or two yah know.” She rubbed the coin with a green flame on it the other two had tiger, and dagger that looked like a flute crossed with a sword. “Besides, it wasn’t all bad.”

Excalibur grinned as they entered the castle heading for, she guessed, her room was. “Sounds like somepony had a ‘morphing’ good time.” She hummed a tone that made the orange mare freeze in her tracks. “Oh don’t you worry. I’ll see if we can visit there too as I’m sure someone would like to see you again.”

AJ tried to shift the talk from her. “W-well Ah wasn’t the only one to get thrown to Celestia knows where.” She looked at Dash. “Where did you get sent off too anyway, Rainbow?”

“Sorry, but I’m not getting in on this.” Dash said trying to get out of it as well blushing. “Good thing I keep that picture hidden. I don’t think I’d ever live that outfit down.”

“Something I’m sure we’ll have to be talked about at some point.” Excalibur stated as they round a corner still trying to find her room. “Those doors swing both ways after all, so you might have company visit. For now how the heck do we find my room, Aunt Tia, and get things ready for me to go to Ponyville?”

“All you had to do was ask, Excalibur.” Someone said making the young alicorn jump. Turning around the group found a tired looking Luna covered in dust. “I have you next to my room, and it’s just ahead after the next left.” She sighed as they all walked down the hall. “So how was your first day after I left my daughter?”

“Let’s see.” Excalibur said grinning. “I met my teachers/new friends here, put Blueblood in a trash can, and had lunch before meeting Rarity.” She grinned more seeing the lunar mare tried not to laugh to hard. “After a two hour game of ‘dress up doll’ for her we went to a hobby shop.”

“Really?” Luna asked getting her laughter under control. “Sorry, it’s just I’ve wanted to do that to Blueblood for a long time. Please go on with your story, but do tell me one thing.”

“Yes?”

“How frilly were the dresses you had to wear?” Luna asked making her daughter blush. “I thought as much.”

“You should have seen the skimpy ones that Sassy tried slipped in.” Rainbow chuckled before getting a face full of cyan/white feathers. “Yeah, I had that coming, but it was worth it.”

“Anyway.” Excalibur said pulling her wing back from RD’s face. “The shop is owned by a unicorn mare named, Fantasy Dream. She’s really a nice girl, uh, filly and you might find something there to enjoy.” She nods to Twilight. “Dream even found something for the bookworm over there.”

“Hey!”

Everyone chuckled as they got to Excalibur’s and Luna’s rooms. “You know it’s true, but you’re our bookworm.” Rainbow said bumping shoulders with Twilight. “You should have seen what she was wearing. The mare isn’t shy to say the least.”

“It wasn’t a micro bikini top, RD.” The silver Alicorn said entering her room. Luna, who also entered with them, teleported a change of clothes from her room and heads for the bathroom to clean off the dust. “I asked her before you say anything, Mom. She’s about my size build wise and height as well.”

“You’ll have to take me to see her later.” Luna called out from the bathroom as the sound of the shower started. “It’ll be a week before you go to Ponyville with everypony else. This way you can learn without worry.” She closed the door with a sly grin. “I won’t be long.”

“Okay.” Excalibur shrugged her shoulders getting her new clothes and models out to look over. The models were a Wing Zero Costume, Crossbone Full Cloth, and a Strike Freedom. She also had a lot of the tools, paints, extra plastic, and blocks of plastic to make her own parts. “I’ll put these to the side for now. I’ve got to get the hang of making these kinds of things again.”

Spitfire looked at the other start kits the silver mare got. “So that’s what these are for? I might work on a few with you.” She got a few starter kits herself. “But what are you going to do with those three?”

“I’m going to use parts from them to make a costume unit of my own.” Excalibur stated looking very happy about it. “Something I’ve been dreaming of making for a long time. The Crossbolt Saber Gundam.”

Twilight looked over the models and even the one she picked out. A Sandrock from Gundam Wing as she thought the model had some life to it. “Sounds like you’ve got some big ideas. This could work for some kind of magic lesson, and strength control as well.” She was remembering how much trouble she had with controlling her new Earth Pony powers. The number of tables she broke still makes her head hurt. “I just hope you do better than I did.”

“If you would have slowed down, and listened it wouldn’t have been so much trouble for you.” Applejack stated flatly. “You can’t find every answer in a book, sugar cube.”

“Please don’t start that again.” Twilight groaned rubbing her left wrist and the bracelet there. “You’re reminding me of her again. I do wonder how they are doing these days.”

Luna rejoined the group drying her long hair off, but it was the look on her daughter’s face that made her stop. Her tight t-shirt and shorts making her look very sexy. “Is something wrong, daughter?”

“How did you get an Omni tool, Twilight Sparkle?” Excalibur asked the lavender Alicorn not even hearing her mother’s question as she pointed to Twilight’s bracelet. She was tired of this level of weird. Even by Mane Six standers it was getting nuts. “Where the hell were you six girls sent to for a week?!”

“Not saying.” Rainbow stated looking away blushing again.

Applejack pushed her hat back some. “I think you already guessed it, but Ah’m not saying till you do.”

Twilight sighed finding herself under the glare of the younger Alicorn and her mother. “The SR2 SSV Normandy under the command of Commander Jane Shepard.” She said finally gave in to their glares.

Excalibur blinked. “Could you repeat that?”

Meanwhile at Fantasy’s Hobby Shop

The nine humans Discord brought to the shop were a little shaken, but otherwise okay. It wasn’t the first time they had seen anthropomorphic ponies of myth before. Of course a unicorn welcoming them to her hobby shop, and a draconequus who brought them to see an old friend would have left anyone a little off balance. Three of the group were still trying to come to terms with this really hopping it was a bad dream, but for Minato Sakai, Satomi Funaki, and Kaoruka Sazaki a.k.a. Gyanko it wasn’t a dream at all.

Rumba Ral sighed as the three teens were sitting at one of the tables in back trying to prove what happened was a dream. The man turned to look at their hostess Fantasy Dream, and Discord with a flat look. “So Fluttershy is in this world you called Equestria, and in a town called Ponyville?” He asked giving them a level glare.

“I’m surprised the ‘Blue Giant’ isn’t more worried about this.” Discord said in a bored tone floating on his back. “But then again I’m sure Fluttershy told you all about me, and her friends. Yes?”

Ral nods his head. “She did, in fact, tell us a lot about her home.” He sighed crossing his arms. “In great detail to the point we had to ask her to explain it again slowly. So where is she at the moment, Discord?”

“At her cottage in Ponyville feeding her animals, and treating the injured.” The draconequus yawned before grinning. “I could let her knew you’re here if you like?”

Mirai Kamiki smiled walking over to Discord before pinching his ear and pulling him down to eye level. The young model gave him her sweetest smile that sent a shiver down his spin. “And maybe you can explain why we’re here before going off to let our friend know?”

“That would be on me, Mirai.” Dream said grinning. “I wanted to have the best to teach Gunpla at my shop for a few days and Discord said he had an idea of who to get.” She rubbed the back of her head. “I should have guessed he’d get you guys, but it works out I guess. Some of you can stay here to teach and help other ponies that want to learn Gunpla.” The Unicorn mare grinned softly. “While the rest can go see your friend down in Ponyville, but before that you should all stop by the castle so the princesses can see you.”

“Why would they want to see us?” Asked Shia Kijima as she looked at the models Dream had on display in her shop. “We aren’t the first humans here are we?”

“You are in fact the first humans to even come to this world.” Discord said in a pained voice. “Could you please let go of my ear?” Mirai released his ear with a huff. “Thank you.”

Shia shrugged her shoulders. “So it’s really that important then.” She looked to her left wondering how the rest of their group was doing. It looked like they were even more clam then herself at the moment, and that worried her.

Fumina Hoshino, leader of Team Try Fighters, was watching out the large window with her friends and team mates Yuuma Kousaka, and Sekai Kamiki. Being the ones to help Fluttershy when she appeared just before Fumina’s and Sekai’s date going to G-Muse. To see the world, even if it’s just the streets of a city, their friend and fourth team member called home was the best thing that could happen.

The fire red head was grinning as he watched some guards on patrol go by. “They look stronger then Shy said they would. I can’t wait to see her again and finally meet her friends!” Sekai said with a fist pump with a gleam in his brown eyes.

“After we find our way round without making the whole city freak out first.” Yuuma stated his blue eyes never leaving the window as the anthro ponies went by. He brushed his blue hair back before pushing his glasses back in place. “But I do share your eagerness in seeing how Fluttershy has been doing.” He added with a smirk.

Fumina was a little unsure about leaving the store, or seeing the princesses. “I’m not sure we could do anything to hide what we are for anyone out there.” She pointed to a couple that walked by with a few DVD box sets of Gundam Seed and Wing. “Looks like they know what humans are for the most part, and that is both scary and refreshing.”

“So now that we have some of this out of the way.” Discord muttered before looking at the nine humans with a neutral face. “Maybe it is best if half of you stayed here to help believe that you are really here a little more.” He was looking at the three still in back as Gyanko seemed to have come to terms and was helping the other two.

Rumba Ral gave it some thought before grinning. “Mirai, could you stay here with them, please? I’ll go with the others to meet with these princesses, and hopefully keep things calm.” He knew how Sekai could be about something, and sometimes just speaking his mind. It was that bluntness that really worried him about the boy sometimes.

Fantasy set out a few Gunpla models and the tools needed for working on them. “This should help them relax as well. I’m going with them to make sure Discord doesn’t turn it into a game with Princess Celestia.” She sighed when the Draconequus disappeared by teleporting away. “Guess it’s too late for that.”

Chuckling Discord returned with a yellow Pegasus mare with pink mane and tail dressed in blue jeans with a green t-shirt. “I thought it might be best to let a friend go with them in my stead.”

Shia, Yuuma, Rumba, and Fumina blinked seeing the mare as she waved at them. “It’s so good to see you all again.” The Pegasus mare said with a soft voice.

“Fluttershy!?” The four asked in shock.

“I did say I was made younger when I landed in your world didn’t I?” Fluttershy said with a grin holding up a picture they took before she returned to Equestria with Team Try Fighters, and a teenage Fluttershy wearing a tank top with shorts.

“HHHUUUUUHHH!???” The small group started freaking out a little again. Well, more like a lot. It was about an hour later they made their way to the castle.

Back in the castle with Excalibur and the girls

Excalibur sighed after an hour of Twilight explaining her adventure with Commander Jane Shepard, and needless to say the new Alicorn was jealous. “So to give the footnotes of this would be as follows: You helped a paragon Shepard with the Collectors, and then the Reapers. Saved Morden from blowing up helping the Krogen, helped Legion make the Geth true A.I.s, and wipe out only the Reapers?”

“That’s about the size of it.” Twilight said a little shocked it could be summed up that easier. “Guess I was being a little dumb in letting the things I learned slide, huh?”

Spitfire sighed pinching the bridge of her muzzle. “You learned form a galaxy wide known hero, and by that became one as well. Yes, you shouldn’t just forget all that you learned!” She was not sure how to even feel about this new information. “Just don’t try to make any of the weapons, or armor please.”

“I only have the gear I come back with.” Twilight said a slight blush. “I was made an N7 before the battle to take earth back. Guess I’ll have to show it off sometime?”

Luna grinned. “Save it for Nightmare Night, dear Twilight. It’ll be safer that way, and more fun.”

Dash grinned. “Like that party after dealing with that clone?”

“Don’t remind me.” Twilight groaned covering her face with both hands. “James teased me about it for a whole two days.” It helped to hide the light blush she got remembering the event. She woke up snuggled next to Kasumi Goto after the party.

Applejack had her ears laid back with a grim look on her face. Excalibur gave the earth mare a gentle shove. “Hey, it can’t be any worse than fighting monsters with Power Rangers.” She teased giving the mare a pat on the shoulder.

AJ face palmed. “Ya just had to say it didn’t ya?” She groaned but smiled a little. “It was a great time alright, but I kind of miss the rush of it. Saving the day with Tommy and the gang was as much fun as doing so here.” Applejack still wondered if she'd see them again.

Luna chuckled softly. “You will all have to share those adventures with my sister and I at some point. For now I think we have lessons to begin?” She looked at Excalibur with a half grin as the younger mare sighed. “Sooner we start the sooner you can do what you want. Within reason of course, daughter.”

“Alright, but I pick what is first okay.” Excalibur stated looking at Rainbow and Spitfire. “So flying is first, and no drill sergeant mode from you two. I’d like to leave that in my other life.”

“Fair enough.” Spitfire said roughing Edge’s mane. “You are still new to most of your body, so we’re going to have to take it a little slow.
You’ve got to build your wings up before we take you for a full flight.” She snapped her fingers. “We should also get you a flight suit that way you don’t worry about your clothes.”

“That’ll take a day at least.” Dash points out. “So I guess Cali here can take the rest of the day to understand her new body more?”

Twilight, AJ, Spitfire, and Luna all nod their heads agreeing with Rainbow. The young Alicorn sighed about to grab a model to work on when a guard walked in. “Princess Luna, you sister needs you and the others down in her Day Court. It would seem we have guests from another world, and Miss Fluttershy is with them.” He said making them turn slowly to look at him.

“WHAT!?” The group asked loudly before running out the door toward the main hall where Celestia was with the new group. That of course left the guard spinning like a top before falling flat on his back.

Day Court Main Hall

Celestia was giggling at the children looked around in awe as she, Fantasy, Fluttershy, and Ramba talked a little. Mainly about what Fluttershy did as a reserve battler as the mare hugged her Gunpla, Blood Moon Death Scythe. A red Death Scythe Hell Custom with silver highlights and Buster Crescent Rose with a heat blade. Discord was kind enough to get it for her to prove her story to Celestia, and the solar mare was kind of wanting one for herself. At least one that wasn’t as oddly scary as the one Fluttershy had made.

“Are you sure it’s not a holdover from when you were Flutterbat?” Celestia asked as Rumba chuckled at her question. “What?”

“I asked something along the same lines when I saw it myself.” Rumba said with a grin. “Though I think I asked more if she was a vampire fan or something. However, she fights with it very well. I’d hate to see how much she’s improved since then.”

Fluttershy chuckled rolling her eyes as Sekai, Yuuma, and Fumina rejoined them as a few guards waved at them. “Well, I have gotten a little better and even made a few other models too.” She grinned showing the small fangs she still had from her vampire fruit bat moment. “I just thought seeing my first Gunpla would help you guys believe it was really me.”

Fumina sighed. “Well it did help in believing that you at least grew up.” She said with a smile before frowning at the look from Ral. “I’m still not sure I believe she got younger when she appeared.”

“I believe it.” Sekai said with a straight face. “Remember how big her clothes were on her when Fluttershy tried to run? Well look at her now.” He said pointing to the mare with a cheeky grin. “You really can’t see it?”

The girl sighed looking over Shy again taking in the build of the Pegasus mare, and that’s when it hit her. “The heck?! You’re right, Sekai-kun!” Fumina was dumb struck seeing how those clothes really did explain it. Plus, Shy was wearing clothes that kind of hugged her body. “This is so weird now that I see it.”

Shy nods her head. “Every time I look at the picture it still makes me wonder why it happened. At least it let me meet all of you, and enjoy playing Gunpla as well.” She hugged Fumina making the girl blush with a little envy.

Yuuma looked away, blushing a little before he saw the newest group join them. In a bit of a rush as three more Alicorns, two Pegasi, and one Earth Pony trying not to trip over the lead white, he wasn’t sure if her fur color was really white or a light silver, Alicorn. It failed as the mare in front tripped over her hooves and the group fall on top of her. “More friends or family of yours, Princess?” He asked a little surprised at the now crashed group.

“Hey, Aunt Tia.” Excalibur groaned from under Luna, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Spitfire. Applejack stood back looking at the group and let out a sigh.

Celestia chuckled looking to the mares and helped them up with her magic. “Yuuma, Sekai, Rumba, and Fumina I’d like you to meet my sister Luna. She rules over the night and protects the dreams of our ponies.”

Luna walked over to Celestia’s group. “Nice to meet you all, and welcome to our world everyone.” She said with a warm grin. “This is my daughter Excalibur Edge. I just adopted her today so she’s new to a lot of things like you.”

“Thanks mom, but I can take it from here.” The light silver mare said getting a few chuckles from the kids. “It’s nice to meet you guys, and look forward to hanging out.” Excalibur said offering a hand shake. “I’m a fan I guess you can say.”

Sekai shook her hand. “It’s nice to meet you, Excalibur. Do you play Gunpla like Fluttershy?” He grinned at her before Yuuma slapped him on the back of the head. “Hey?!”

“She’s a princess, so show some respect.” Kousaka stated fixing his glass before bowing to the mare. “Please excuse this idiot.”

Excalibur rolled her eyes poking Yuuma’s shoulder. “You need to chill, Yuuma. You did meet my aunt after all, right?” She chuckled as Yuuma blushed getting the hint. “Just call me Excalibur , or Cali please. Would you guys mind helping me later with some lessons on building Gunpla?” The mare chuckled softly. "I'm having to relearn and could really use the help."

“We’d love to Princ..Huh…Excalibur.” Fumina said catching herself before also shaking hands with the young Alicorn. “What kind of Gunpla are you going to build?”

“I’ll share it later.” Excalibur said with a wink and grin. “This lavender beauty here is Twilight Sparkle, and my magic teacher.”

Twilight was about to launch into a list of questions, but Sekai cut her off. “Nope. No idea. Maybe. You have to ask Yuuma, or Fumina. Ral is the best one for that, and only if you really want to get into trouble.” He said making everyone just look at him in shock. “Shy was really clear in that you’d ask a lot of questions. I just went with what felt right.”

Twilight blinked a few times before her mind got back in gear. “He just did a Pinkie, and that worries me.”

Rainbow stepped forward. “Let’s try to keep them from getting into a prank war." She whispered before grinning. "Hey, I’m Rainbow Dash! Fastest flier in Equestria, and this is Spitfire the Captain of the Wonderbolts.” She said with a grin and high fived Sekai as Spitfire shook hands with Yuuma and Fumina.

“Howdy ya’ll I’m Applejack.” AJ said with a big grin, but she shook hands with Rumba. “Keeping up these kids must really be fun. Kind of makes me think of my sister and her friends.”

“You have no idea.” Rumba chuckled. “I take it you, Rainbow, and Captain Spitfire are young Excalibur’s teachers like Twilight? Would I be wrong in guessing she wasn’t always an Alicorn?”

“Yeah, and just leave it there please.” Luna said with a worried look. “So how about we find a place for you all to stay her in the castle? Plus, Cali gets an extra flight teacher and some more friends.” She hugged the butter colored mare and got hugged in return. “I’ll go get a few models for myself and a battle system for training.”

Celestia and the others sighed. “Fantasy here already has rooms covered for them.”

“Yeah, and I’m sure we can set something up for everypony, uh, everyone at my shop or here.” Dream said with a cheeky grin. “Not like the guards will keep these guys out of here anyway.” She looks at Sekai making everyone understand who she's most worried about.

Sekai looked around the group with varying looks of worry, humor, and knowing. “But I haven’t even asked a guard for a fight yet!” He exclaimed giving a huff as the others laugh.

Author's Note

Sorry it took so long, but here's the next part and I'll try to speed it up from here by time skips. I'll leave you to wonder where Rarity, Pinkie, and Rainbow all were during their little multi-verse drop off. You'll just have to wait till then.

Let me know what you think please, but no flames. I still have Deadpool and Discord on speed dial.

A Fun Week For All!

Excalibur’s Adventure CH. 4
By Knightwolf1875

The next day found Excalibur up in the sky with RD, and Spitfire for her flying lessons in the castle gardens. She was wearing a flight suit that hugged her body and protected her from when she crashed. The black and red colors made it easy to see the mare as she tried to keep in the air going between Rainbow and Spitfire for just getting her wings strengthened. It was a very tiring kind of workout, but also the quickest way to help Excalibur. For the others watching from the ground it was kind of surreal while also helping with lessons on model building. Twilight, Celestia, and Applejack were enjoying the lessons thanks to Fluttershy helping out. Two maid stood nearby that were Excalibur’s personal helpers, but were also taking note of the building lessons from the humans.

Joining Team Try Fighters was the silver haired and blue eyed Shia Kijima. She was busy watching the three airborne mares, studying their movements, and trying to understand how they could look so relaxed flying. Well, Excalibur didn’t look relaxed as said Alicorn was fighting to keep herself in the air.

“Maybe they should take a break?” Shia asked looking to her right at Celestia a little worried. “Excalibur is looking tired enough to crash at any moment.”

The solar mare sighed seeing what she meant as Excalibur was slowly down with each pass overhead, and RD went to get a cloud under her in case she did fall. “She’s in the best hands for her flight training. Spitfire and Rainbow will make sure she doesn’t over do it, or fall.” She sighed when her niece fell hand over hooves into the cloud. “She does have a stubborn side that matches Luna’s in a lot of ways though.”

Shia giggled as the tired young Alicorn was brought down to earth. “Where is your sister by the way?”

“She’s sleeping right now.” Celestia said with a grin. “Night court had to deal with an Owlbear attack near Everfree Forest, and Luna led the guards in pushing the beasts back.” She sighed as RD and Spitfire helped Excalibur walk over to the group. “She might have had a little too much fun fighting them to save the town.”

“By fun you mean fighting those things, right?” Fumina asked not sure if she liked Luna’s, or Celestia’s idea of fun as it were. She was making extra parts for her Star Winning Gundam and using them as a means to teach the other mares. “That seems a little weird to me.”

Applejack gave the human a flat look. “This coming from the girl that lives for Gunpla battles and the like?”

“Hello pot meet kettle.” Rarity said having joined them after delivering some of Excalibur’s new clothes, and stayed wanting to get to know the humans and Excalibur a little more. She enjoyed building the parts to her own Gunpla, The Tallgeese III.
Fumina groaned being called out. “It’s not the same thing as fighting living animals.”

“Even if those animals were attacking a town and everyone in it? Those Owlbears don’t seem to be known for attacking without reason through.” Excalibur said weakly laying on her front as a pair of maids massaging her wings. “You two really don’t have to keep doing that for me.”

Celestia sighed. “The guards are still looking into why the attack happened.” She looked over the arm of her Seven Sword Gunpla with a soft grin. “Hopefully it wasn’t because of something foolish.”

Spitfire sighed nodding her head and looking at the young Alicorn. “You’re going to need those massages if you want to keep going like this. I still can’t believe you made it this long before getting this tired.” She was worried at first when both she and Rainbow Dash got Excalibur at dawn. That was nearly three hours ago, so Spitfire had to give Excalibur points for that.

“Besides, we like to help out like this.” The Pegasus mare with jade green mane and tail with a coat of pearl white with blue eyes said. “But didn’t you go a little over the top flying around like that, Excalibur?”

“I’ve got to get ready before Nightmare Night, Pearl.” The silver Alicorn said trying not to moan or groan from the maids touching her wings. “I’m not sure if I should enjoy it or say it hurts.”

The other maid was an Earth Pony with a mane and tail of pearl white with a coat of jade. Her eyes were also blue just like her sister Pearl Wind. “Just enjoy it while you can, Cali.” Jade Earth said grinning pushing her fingers deep into Excalibur’s back. “Geez, even your back is in knots.”

“I still can’t believe they’re twins.” Yuuma said flinching a little hearing the pained groan from the silver/cyan Alicorn. “Just goes to show how amazing things are here. By the way Excalibur I’d like to hear a little more about your Gunpla.” He had two reasons for asking. One, he was wondering what kind of idea she had for a Gundam, and two was to help her take her mind off the massage.

“Why are you even asking me that now?” She asked before letting out a grunt. “I see why now, Yuuma. I’m wanting to make it based on the Wing Zero from Endless Waltz with armor from Crossbone Full Cloth, but I also want to base it on a my body type.” Excalibur explained but the look from Yuuma made her roll her eyes. “Anthropomorphic Alicorn mare body.” She stated flatly.

“As in a Gunpla girl?” He asked before the mare glared at him. “Okay, so not like that.” Yuuma face palmed after thinking for a moment. “Keep it mecha but like it was built like the mobile suits are for us. I can’t believe I didn’t see it sooner.”

“Maybe it’s because we’ve had to deal with Minato making those models of me.” Fumina huffed. “He’s just asking for me to bet him into the ground every time he shows one.”

As Rarity started asking Fumina about what she meant. Fluttershy rolled her eyes having been another one Minato used for a model base. She had to spell it out that if he did it again she’s have the police after him, and it sounded like she’d have to send the guard at some point. “So besides dealing with the everyday normal has anything else happen since I left?”

“Just the weird things that happened on the island and the girl that turned out to be a ghost.” Shia said still not really believing it was a ghost girl. “I’m glad you won’t there for it, Fluttershy.”

“Please, I watched the anime when I got home.” Shy said grinning like a fox. “She was no ghost.”

Excalibur sighed. “Now that’s not fair to them, Fluttershy. It is an unspoken rule that you never give out to much, or anything when dealing with other worlds viewed by anime.” She flinched getting poked in the side by Pearl. “I know, but at least I’m not going to tease too much. Besides I’m going to keep my mouth shut on things till the girls say it is okay.”

“This coming from my niece that isn’t from here?” Celestia asked with a smirk. “Well, I’m proud of you for at least trying.”

The sound of a body hitting the ground made everyone look towards Rainbow and Sekai. The mare had gotten flipped by the human, and accidentally ripped the sleeve on her left arm. There was an odd tattoo near her shoulder that looks like a running fairy.

Something that clicked in more than Excalibur’s mind as the maids, Shia, and Fumina all asked with the Alicorn. “You’re a fan of Fairy Tail, Rainbow Dash?”

The cyan mare tried to cover the tattoo. “Y-yeah. Great show with lots of action, a-and…Bye!” She shot into the air but was pulled back by Twilight’s magic. “Come on! Really, Twi?!”

“Oh no.” The lavender alicorn mare said grinning. “I had to explain my adventure yesterday to you all when I was pushed. It’s now your turn to spill about yours.” Twilight said grinning as she pulled Dash back to the group.

“Do I have too?” Rainbow asked as the group looked at her. The girls giving Dash their best puppy eyes, with Excalibur turning away to hide her laughter. “Fine! I’ll talk! Just stop with the cute act!”

Rainbow Dash spent a few hours telling her adventures with the Fair Tail guild. It turned out she was with the guild just before they went to the Grand Magic Games, and the resulting battle with the Eclipse Sprits too. RD finished up with how she got back thanks to an old spell book.

This lead to Twilight going a little nuts asking Dash about the magic she learned. Both Reequip and wind magic. During those few hours Excalibur was getting more flight training in with Spitfire and fair amounts of rest every so often.

The young Alicorn was resting again as Twi tried to get Dash to show her reequip magic The Knight. “Here I thought she’d be use to Twilight doing this by now.” Excalibur muttered before waving the maids off. “I’ve got feeling in my wings again ladies. Thank you.” Her ears twitched as Pearl Wind and Jade Earth kept massaging her back with a soft giggle.

“I think we’re done for the day, kid.” Spitfire said taking a drink of water. “You just might be ready for Nightmare Night at this rate.

However I need you to rest your wings for now.” She smirked seeing Cali frown a little. “It’s nearly lunch so I can say for a first time flier like you. Getting down the basics of flight and doing nearly six hours of near constant flying is a solid start.”

Excalibur smiled softly. “Thanks, coach. I better hit the shower before we eat.” She got up and started heading for the castle doors. Pearl and Jade right behind her making the young Alicorn grumble about how she can take a shower herself.

“She reminds me of Luna when we were younger.” Celestia said getting up and stretching. “So what’s the lesson plan this afternoon for her, Twilight?”

The lavender Alicorn looked up from her notes like she just remembered something. “ACK! I have to go and get everything ready!” Twilight was about to run off, but Celestia grabbed her shoulder.

“Not before you tell me what the lesson plan is, Dear Twilight.” The solar mare said making Twilight very afraid for some reason.

The Dining Hall

Applejack, Rarity, Shia, Yuuma, Fumina, Rainbow, Spitfire, and Sekai were still in a little shock at seeing Celestia drag Twilight off. Something about needing to tone down the magic lessons for Excalibur was all they could make out of the solar mare’s mumbles.
“Remind me to never try teaching Cali any of my tricks.” Rainbow said with a sigh. “Celestia went full mother back there on Twilight.”
“Well, it is Twilight we’re talking about, darling.” Rarity said sipping her ice tea. “She has been known to go a little overboard after all.”
Yuuma raised an eyebrow looking toward Rarity across the table. “A little? Fluttershy made it sound like Twilight made mountains out of mole hills.”

Everyone giggled as it was true at the lavender mare, and the freak outs she sometimes had with it. Applejack defended her friend since she wasn’t there to do so. “Maybe we should change the lesson to dealing with her Earth Pony powers? Ah know Twilight means well, but it’ll take Celestia awhile to fix whatever Twilight had planned.” The orange mare sighed. “Twi means well and only wants to do her best.”

“It doesn’t mean I can deal with the advanced magic like she could.” Excalibur said walking in wearing blue jeans, a blue t-shirt, and white vest. She had her mane pulled back in a braid. “Sorry it took a bit. My mane and tail had some knots. Plus, Jade and Pearl wanted to brush my coat to thin it out.” She pulled her tail around to show it was braided as well. “Thanks again for the clothes Rarity. They’re really comfy.”

“You’re welcome, darling. We were just talking about what your next lesson should be.” The white unicorn mare grinned softly. “How about I teach you instead of Twilight? I think a more refined control is what you need.”

Excalibur sat down near the head of the table. “Well, I do seem to have a grasp on using my magic. I just burn up to much of it on the simple things like floating a book.” She sipped the ice tea Jade brought her from the kitchen. “You’re going to have to teach me those short cuts, Pearl.”

“I think your mother knows more than my sister and I do.” Pearl said with a grin. “Also, if I may say something?” She waited till Excalibur nods her head. “I think control is the more important thing you need to learn right now. It’ll help you with many magic lessons down the line.”

“I’ll take it.” Excalibur said grinning. “Where’s Aunt Tia and Twilight? Did Twi have a ‘lesson plan’ my aunt didn’t like or something?” She asked looking around the group.

Spitfire chuckled. “Something like that, kid. I’m sure everything is fine.”

“YOU WANTED TO TEACH HER WHAT!?” Celestia’s voice boomed, shaking the room.

“Maybe I spoke too soon?” The Wonderbolt captain muttered. “Maybe we should just have lunch before anything else happens?”

Day Three
Troop Training Yard
Late Evening

Excalibur was matching Celestia blow for blow with Luna watching. It was evening with the full moon helping to light the training yard. The two Alicorns trading magic blasts with Celestia blocking her niece’s crafted weapons. The solar mare was shocked at first that Excalibur could craft weapons and armor from the elements around herself. Luna really couldn’t be more proud of the young Alicorn, or pleased that Rarity’s lessons helped unlock this skill.

“Better watch your left!” Luna called out to her sister. She chuckled getting a glare from both mares. “Couldn’t help myself. Sorry.”

“Really, mom?” Excalibur muttered dispelling her batons, and gauntlets. “I had her that time.”

Celestia sighed. “I left myself open to see if you noticed. It’s been to long since I got to just spar with anypony.” She yawned softly. “I think that’s enough for now anyway. You’re learning a lot quicker than I hoped you would.”

Excalibur shrugged. “Truth is I’m surprising myself too. I just hope I’m not going too fast for my own good.”

“I don’t think your little freak out this morning helped much.” Luna said walking over and hugging her daughter. “That was a nasty nightmare you had, and the stress didn’t help either. You’ve been putting a lot of it on yourself.”

“I had hoped I’d have a break down later.” Excalibur muttered returning the hug. “Guess we should have seen it coming. I don’t even know why I was so worried about turning evil.”

Twilight lands next to them looking very mad, and holding a spell book. “Blueblood had this in his room.” She stated handing it to Celestia. “It’s filled with nightmare and other dark spells. I guess this explains why he left for the islands.”

The solar mare looked through the book and sighed. “I’ll have him stay there for a bit. I was going to need somepony there any way to deal with new trade.” Celestia smirked. “For the next year, or more to teach him a lesson.”

“A good thing I countered the spell before coming down then.” Twilight said grinning. “It could only be placed on something like the pillow, or bed. There shouldn’t be any more nightmares.” She giggled. “The girls wanted to have a sleepover with Excalibur tonight as well. I think they were worried about her.”

“I just hope I can survive my first girl’s night.” Excalibur joke before they started toward the castle.

“Well, it’s just going to be us girls.” Twilight said trying to lighten the mood. “Fumina and Shia are going to be over too. I wish Spitfire, and Fluttershy could have stayed. However somepony had to go check on Ponyville.”

Luna and Celestia chuckled knowing she meant keeping Pinkie Pie busy. The last thing Excalibur needed after her rough day was Pinkie showing up out of nowhere, again. The lunar mare had to ask Twilight something. “So what was the spell on anyway, Twilight?”

“That silk pillow Blueblood gave as an apology gift.” The lavender Alicorn said flatly. “I had it burned for good measure, Luna.”
Excalibur groaned. “And it was really comfy too.”

The four mares made their way into the castle and through the halls toward the young mare’s room. Celestia spilt off to go to her room and get some sleep. Luna teased her sister about “wild times” in her dreams before getting just out of arm's reach. It brought a smile to Excalibur’s face a she hugged her aunt goodnight.

In Excalibur’s room Discord was setting up her TV and Xbox so the girls could have a fun night. He even got the network running, so they could play online if they wanted. He chuckled looking through the young Alicorn’s games, anime, and movies. “She has some very odd ideas of fun games. I mean this Dead Space doesn’t seem fun.”

“Not a single Gundam game either.” Fumina said looking a bit put off. “What the heck is Skyrim anyway?”

Excalibur entered her room telling Luna goodnight. “Sure you don’t want to join us Twilight?” She asked as her mother heads off to deal with Night Court.

“I think I’ll just get some sleep, but thanks for asking.” Twilight said stretching. “Applejack and I have to make a run to Ponyville in the morning. We’ll be back in the afternoon and I asked Rarity to come by again to help you with your control.”

“Okay. Thanks for putting up with me being so down today.” Excalibur said with a sad grin. “Not sure if it was the spell or just the stress of overdoing things. I guess I still never stopped putting too much on myself.”

Twilight sighed. “Please don’t end up like me. One princess having stress freak outs is enough for this world.” She teased before hugging the young mare. “Now go enjoy your girl’s night.”

“I best be on my way then.” Discord said with a grin. “Pearl and Jade should be along shortly like normal.” He teased before snapping him claw and blinking to who know where.

Shia groaned. “All this teleporting is making my head hurt. Can’t he use the door like everyone else?”

“Then it wouldn’t be Discord.” Rainbow said looking up from the Skyrim hardcover game guide. “Besides, we’ve got lots of game to play. We should be having fun! Right, Cali?”

“Right.” Excalibur said letting go of Twilight. “Goodnight, Twi.”

“Night everypony.” Twilight said heading down the hall toward her room.

Pearl and Jade showed up a little later to help Excalibur get cleaned up and dressed for the night. It was getting easier for Cali to wash herself and dress. However there was still one thing or another that she’d get hung up on. Like her wings when pulling a shirt up and getting stuck somehow.

“Are you sure you want to wear just that?” Jade asked looking at what was left of the large t-shirt Cali wore to bed.

“I’ve had enough trouble for today.” Cali said sitting on her bed in just her black bra and panties. This led both human girls and Rainbow Dash to blush lightly. “Besides, it’s just us girls and I’m still feeling over heated. So I’m very sure, Jade.”

Pearl finished brushing Excalibur’s tail and hopped off the bed. “Anything else before we leave, Cali?”

“Nope.” She said standing up. “Thanks again for the help, ladies. Enjoy the rest of your night.”

Both maids bowed and left the room. Excalibur sighed flopping on the floor and started looking at her games. “So what shall we play first? Borderlands, Mass Effect Andromeda, Gears of War Four?”

Rainbow could tell something was up. “How about putting in that Outlaw Star anime and we work on our Gunpla some?” She offered seeing the light go off in Cali’s eyes made her grin.

Fumina and Shia were already holding their building tools. They built, played, and laughed into the late hours of the night. Excalibur’s spirits lifted a lot thanks to the girls helping her put a rough day behind her.

Day Five
Castle Game Room
Afternoon

Minato Sakai was amazed at the Gunpla he was looking at with Yuuma and Rumba. Excalibur’s Crossbolt Saber was truly a machine to be respected by any builder. The body looked to be based soundly on the anthro form of a pony, the wings held a solar reactor each, and the colors matched Excalibur’s own. The red armor pieces of the Crossbone Full Cloth were redone to fit the body with the skulls on the shoulders being replaces with wolf heads. Twin beam sabers were on her hips just above a wicked looking gun. It was black with an oddly dark feel to its looks, and the hidden Buster Rifle in the chest was just perfect.

“I have never seen a Gunpla like this.” Minato whispered in awe. “Even the mane and tail is perfect.”

Yuuma nods his head walking around the table to look at the model from every angle. “Fumina-san said Excalibur used her own hair for it. I thought it was a bad idea, but it doesn’t even look like her hair at all now.” He poked the machine’s mane gently. “I wonder if she used silk. It feels soft enough, but it’s not like any cloth I know.”

“It is a great looking Gunpla.” Rumba Ral said crossing his arms. “However, does it hold up to a battle? That’s what we’re going to see today.”

“It’s her first time, Ral-san.” Yuuma pointed out. “Let’s go slow and see just what she can do.” He looked around the room taking in the large battle system. “I guess Celestia and Luna really wanted in on this too. It’s not as big as the National’s system, but it is still big.”

Excalibur was blushing standing off to the side wearing grey shorts, and a t-shirt with Darkrai on it. “I used a silk Rarity made that matched my mane, and yeah.” She looked at the battle system that was as large as eight pool tables. “They wanted to make sure it was big enough for team matches.”

Minato looked the mare up and down with a smirk. Trying to envision a Gunpla based on her. He was slapped upside the head by Yuuma before Cali leered at him. “Don’t you even try, Minato. I can do more harm than Fumina has to you, and it’ll not be pleasant.”
“G-got it, ma’am.” He said fearing for his life. Fumina had left him buried up to his neck in sand once for his last model of her. Minato wasn’t about to find out what was worse than that.

Battle System
Field One Space

The Lighting Gundam Strider moved through the colony streets using the builds for cover. A Gouf R35 right behind him watching the street they just come from. Ral was still shocked by how well Excalibur could use her Crossbolt, and that she learned how to control it yesterday. Fumina and Shia really are great teachers.

Yuuma asked looking around the corn before moving his machine across the street quickly. “I can’t believe the weapons she has on that thing. Where did she even learn of them?”

“Must be some of her games.” Ral pointed out. “I hate to see what some of the heavy weapons are like. Those Thorns are truly terrifying and that machine gun that coats the bullets in lighting. I nearly lost a shield.” The left shield melted from the Thorn’s rounds survived as a reminder. He was also very pleased with the skill the mare could use her machine with. Ral sighed. “Of course we wouldn’t be in this mess if Minato hadn’t made that bet.”

-Flashback-

“How about we make a small bet.” Minato offered getting his trademark smirk. “If we win a battle you have to let me build a Gunpla of you. My pick of the theme of course.” He was going to get his fun out of this somehow. Fumina, Fantasy, and the other girls kept taking the Gunpla girl models he built. “I’m sure if you really learned from Fumina-chan, and Shia-chan you’ll have no problem winning.”

Ral and Yuuma sighed at the pervert already forgetting the threat made by Excalibur. They won’t going to help him out of this one and sure won’t be dragged into it. The grin on the mare’s face only made them worry more.

“I see someone needs a lesson about respecting females.” Cali said getting an evil grin. “Fine, but if I win you’re going to…Well I’m sure you can image something really terrifying, yes?” She turned to Ral and Yuuma. “You two are free to join if you want, but aren’t held to the bet. No need for you guys to be hurt by his pride.”

-End Flashback-

“At least she’s fair about this.” Yuuma muttered before hearing weapons fire. He looked around the corn and what his Lighting saw made him gulp. “I think we found them, and it’s kind of one sided.”

Ral leaded his Gouf around the corner of the building to see. He just grinned like a proud father as funnels moved through the air attacking the ZZ II. “So that’s what blocked your attack. Looks like sixteen or more funnels Cali is controlling at once.”

Yuuma shook of his shock to watch the battle. Each funnel looked like a feather to match the Crossbolt’s wings, and not only moved well. But also had an edge that let them cut into another machine. “The detail must be from her magic lessons. Miss Rarity must be very proud of how far Excalibur has come.”

“True, but I don’t think Minato is as happy as we are.” Ral chuckled as the shoulder cannon, left arm and right leg were cut off the ZZ II.

Cali chuckled spinning the dual heat rods in the Crossbolt’s wrist. “Ready to give up yet, big mouth?”

Minato growled trying to get his ZZ II to move away from the funnels, but couldn’t find a way to escape. “I’m not going to loss to you! I’ll have a win and all those lovely models built on y-“. He didn’t get to finish what he was saying as the Crossbolt fired its Chestbuster Rifle.
Yuuma and Rumba gulped. “Yeah, I think that is a scary weapon to hide.” Kousaka said as the rifle pulled back into the Crossbolt’s chest and the skull hides the weapon. He and Ral quickly attack the Alicorn’s machine hoping to catch her by surprise.

After the match.

Minato was grumbling about how he lost as Excalibur explained to Luna what just happened. Yuuma and Rumba took the moment to check their Gunpla for damage. Neither of them thought to check for the funnels that could be watching them. Just another lesson in battle, and Excalibur asked why no-one else thought to use them for watching others in battle.

“So what shall I do with you, and your little dreams of lust?” Luna asked dragging Minato out of the room by his jacket.

“Please save me!” The human begged as Ral and Yuuma talked more with Excalibur.

Day Seven

Fantasy’s Hobby Shop

“It’ll only be for another week.” Fluttershy said trying to help Mira, who was Minato, as the earth pony mare huffed. “At least you know how it feels when you treated us like this.”

Gyanko was trying very hard not to laugh. “I still can’t believe he even tried making that bet.” She chuckled. “What a heck of a way to lose too.”

“I still think it was a little much.” Twilight said glaring at Luna. “However I find the models that were made to be very…uncomfortable.” She sighed really unhappy about Minato/Mira trying to push making more with the bet in the first place.

Mira huffed. “I’ll find a way to get you all back for this!” She yelled before covering her bust. “Why won’t they stay still?!”

Discord chuckled as the group said their goodbyes, and a promise to battle next time. “Oh, I knew this was going to be fun, but the chaos was even better. To think I didn’t even need to help make it happen either.” He smirked.

“Next time we have to have you try on a few dresses, dear.” Rarity said to Mirai. “I’ve never had to make anything for a human before.”

“I’d be happy to model your dresses, Rarity-san.” Mirai said hugging the mare. “And I hope to see that dress you made for Excalibur-chan as well.”

Excalibur blushed looking away. “I’m still not sure how to feel about a dress based on my colors. Just don’t make me wear it please.”

“You guys make sure to visit us next.” Sekai said grinning. “We’ll go to the islands again and have a battle!”

Celestia smirked at the red haired boy. “You sure it’s not to just see use in our swimsuits, Sekai-kun?” Most of the group blushed at the solar mare’s words.

“What else would you wear to the beach?” He asked not catching the tease Celestia making her face palm.

“You’re right, Cali. He really is clueless.” Celestia groaned.

Rumba just chuckled shaking hands with Applejack. “I look forward to the next time, AJ. You battle with a GOUF like no one I’ve seen. It’s been a real honor.”

“Shot, Ral. You taught me most of what I know.” Applejack said with grin. “Now you show those kids how it’s done.”

Another round of goodbyes and best wishes were given before Discord took the humans home. Now it was time for Excalibur’s group to head for the train station. Cali was more than a little nerves about leaving for Ponyville, but it was so she could learn more. Plus, she did want to be part of Nightmare Night.

“Make sure to write if you need anything, daughter.” Luna said hugging Cali. “I’ll be there in no time at all.”

“Mom, I’m going to be staying in Twilight’s castle.” Excalibur said pulling back from the hug with a grin. “I just have to worry about her blowing something up in the room next to me.”

“Hey!”

“Just teasing, Twi.” Cali said giving Celestia a hug. “You two try talking more, or I’ll find a way to switch your cutie marks.” Excalibur had to deal with her, aunt and mother not talking about how they were hurting each other. She made them promise her to work on it for her sake.

“I’d love to see somepony do that someday.” Celestia said messing up her niece’s mane. “Now hurry before the train leaves or we change our minds.”

Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow, Twilight, and Excalibur got on the train as the whistle blow. The group waved as they left the station leaving Celestia and Luna on the platform.

“So do you think I still messed up?” Luna asked her sister as they started towards the castle.

“How could I after this past week?” Celestia said grinning. “Cali has added to our life like I wouldn’t have guessed. It almost makes me wish I had adopted her instead.”

“I’m sure you’ll get the chance, sister. After all there are those in other worlds that need a loving mother.” The Lunar mare pointed out.
As if proving the point a black Pegasus dropped from in front of Celestia. His white mane a mess as he pulled it back to show red eyes that looked up at the solar mare. “Where the hell am I?’

“Equestria at the train station in Cantorlot.” Celestia said with a half grin. “It looks like I’m going to be busy with flying lesson.”

Next stop on the crazy train PONYVILLE!

Diving into the Past.

Excalibur’s Adventure CH. 5
By Knightwolf1875

Excalibur sighed watching the trees go by as they made way to Ponyville by train. She was a still unsure of what to expect, and there was still Pinkie Pie to deal with. The young Alicorn was kind of dreading meeting the party pony for many reasons. The big one was she always, always, knew what was going on.

“Worried about something still?” Rainbow Dash asked poking the young Alicorn in the side. “What could you be so worried about now?”

“Pinkie and her run away mouth.” Excalibur said without turning from the window.

“Oh! Right.” Dash said getting an understanding nod from the other girls. If there was one thing Pinkie didn’t get under control fast. It was her mouth when some information was best left out.

“Seems a little mean of ya to think that Pinkie would go telling everypony what happened to you.” Applejack said. The flat glare even Fluttershy gave her had the mare rethink what she said. “Right, it’ll happen when she’s right next to ya.”

“The number of times we could count.” Fluttershy said as the train slowed as it neared Ponyville. “I’m sure she’ll be better this time.”

“Better about what?” A voice asked making Excalibur jump out of her seat. Pinkie was leaning over the back of the seat holding a cupcake. “Oh, you guys are worried I’ll just tell everypony that she’s from…MMPH!?” A mix of colored magic fields shut the mare’s mouth.

“PINKIE!” Everypony shouts at the pink party pony.

She shook for the magic off. “What?!”

“We don’t want everypony to know where she’s from, or what she was!” Rainbow growled at Pinkie. “It needs to be kept a secret!”

“Aawww. Okay, but it’s not as much fun.” The pink mare grumped.

Present Day

Excalibur sighed remembering her time in Ponyville and the few close calls in that town. “Maybe I should invite the girls? No, that’s last thing I want. I don’t want Twilight getting ideas again.” She sighed heading to the beach and anchoring her boat a little ways out. Opening her wings she flies over to the sandy shore. Her plan was to meet the new mane six but first she need to setup for the dive. A little magic and the nearby restrooms would do just fine as changing rooms.

Once done she went down the beach looking for the group and wondering how the others were doing back in Ponyville at the moment. She felt like she needed to swat Twilight for something again, but wasn’t sure what. It wasn’t long before she saw the group and one very troubled looking Twilight. “Oh, dear. Well at least she’s not like Twilight from home with her worry.” Excalibur muttered getting closer before letting them know she was there.

Twilight brought her hands to her temples and rubbed them, thinking of anything to rectify their predicament. However, all of Twilight’s ideas seemed to result in their untimely demise and left the alicorn to growl in frustration. The lavender girl was about to give up hope when a familiar voice spoke out to the six friends. “I hear you want to scuba dive to a wreck out at sea. Is that correct?” the voice asked.

Twilight spun around to face this person and was met face to face once again with Excalibur Edge. “Excalibur? What are you doing here… and what are you wearing?”

The alicorn, wore only a red bikini over her white fur, easily showing off her cutie mark and her blue coated legs. She donned an almost seductive grin upon her face that left Twilight a little embarrassed. Excalibur twirled about on the spot. “You like it?”

Twilight stared at the bikini and began to feel her face heat up. She tried to formulate a response but it only boiled down to her mumbling a couple of incoherent words. Excalibur giggled as a result.

“She’s way to much fun to tease.” Excalibur thought still grinning.

Ashley, however, was more confident to speak up. “Are ya sure y’were a guy before all’a this?” Excalibur just giggled once more as her response.

After her giggling stopped, Excalibur decided to explain her presence. “Well, I got a hold of the Analysts and found out about the wreck and this relic that you need. So I came to help out.”

Twilight shook off her flustered state and eagerly proceeded to ask Excalibur a flurry of questions, only one of which caught her attention. “Can you help us dive to the wreck?” Twilight asked.

With a nod, Excalibur replied. “Instead of using Terrance’s money to acquire the equipment, we can just use my own boat and collection of wetsuits, free of charge, unfortunately you'll need to learn how to deep dive while we're out there.”

“Really? You mean it?” Rina bounced out of nowhere, her words sounding incredibly giddy.

Excalibur nodded once more.

The group appreciated the help, but Matt brought them back down to a question that Twilight completely forgot about “Uh, Twilight? Remember we don’t know how to dive?”

Once more, Twilight slumped her shoulders “That’s right. We don’t actually know how to dive” she explained to the white alicorn.

Excalibur seemed unfazed by the explanation. Somehow this girl knew what she was doing and it resulted in Twilight feeling a little less worried about the doing the dive, although seeing a 17th century wreck up close on the bottom of the sea already helped with that earlier.

“Don’t worry. If you want, I can show you a spell that could give us the ability to breathe underwater.” Twilight perked up at the mention of a spell. “Granted, it’s not guaranteed to work for as long as you wish. It frankly could just cut out at any moment and if you are more than 50 metres under water… you won’t be having a good time.”

Twilight broke out into a sweat. “I-I think we should just go with the conventional way, I’d rather not leave our safety in the hands of something that I thought a few weeks ago was just myth.”

“That’s probably for the best, but keep it in mind just in case.” Excalibur let out a deep sigh. “Anywho, are you set to get ready for the dive?”

Everyone nodded, with a small semi shake of the head from Terrance. “Well, follow me, then.”

Speaking of the shy boy turned shy girl, Twilight noticed that as the 6 followed Excalibur, Terrance lagged behind with a distant look on her face. The sun shone upon her butter yellow fur, making it glow almost mystically. Twilight couldn’t deny how beautiful she looked. Covering a blush, the lavender girl turned around and asked Terrance what she was wondering about.

“Hey Terry, what’s eating at you?”

Everyone halted on the spot, all lights on the shy girl, who covered her face at the sudden stares “I-It’s my name.” she said, barely audible.

“Yeah, what about it?” Matt said with slight agitation. The athlete always hated having to stop for problems when they were in a group going to do something, and the current halting was no exception to that.

“W-Well, think about it for a second, doesn’t exactly work with how I currently look.” she emphasized her point by waving both hands over her overly curvy body. The others stood stock still, a few blushes made their ways across the group. Even Excalibur, who seemed all too used to the female body and exploiting her own, was hot under her metaphorical collar after staring at the timid girl.

Harry decided to break the silence by speaking up. “Terrance does have a point, guys. It would make sense if we all had female names. Considering we’re turning into girls… with the exception of Rina, of course.”

“I get to keep my name as it is if I want to, right?

“And I already changed mine.”

Harry looks over briefly at Rina and Ashley, rolling his eyes. He replied to the two, one after the other “Firstly, yes you can Rina, and secondly, alright I get it.” With a sigh and a rub of his eyes, he continues on from before “What I’m trying to say is, the rest of us that are guys -or were guys- that haven’t picked out a female name should pick out a new one.”

Matt continued the discussion. “That does make sense, but picking out a new one isn’t the easiest thing to do. Plus, for an athlete like me, who is frankly more masculine than all of ya, it’ll probably be harder to choose.”

While Matt was right about choosing one being difficult, the gang didn’t take lightly to her declaration of being the most masculine. Ashley, being the good sport, did the right thing...and punched Matt in the shoulder. Hard.

Matt, rubbing her shoulder, gave the farm girl a disapproving look, which only encouraged her to chuckle.

“Yup. Just like Aj and Dash back home.” Excalibur thought trying to not roll her eyes.

“So. What name did you have in mind, Terrance?” Harry asks.

Terrance shuffled about a bit, fiddling with her (unnecessarily) girly dress. “I was thinking about the name… Florence”

“Florence.” Twilight said experimentally. “I like it.”

“Oh um.. Or Flora for short. It kinda was the name I would’ve had if I was born a girl.” Terrance -now Florence- continued.

“Plus, it doesn’t stray far from your actual name. So that’s a bonus.” Harry added.

“Yes, so I would like you all to call me that from now on. Is that ok?”

The group nodded almost in sync, with the exception of Rina, who frankly nods in her own unusual way.

Excalibur gave a brief glance out to sea. “Guys, let’s get ready. If we mess about here, we’ll never get out on the water today. We don’t exactly have all the time in the world.”

Twilight agreed. “Excalibur’s right. Let’s get to it.”

Once more, the group proceeded to follow Excalibur to where she had all the equipment ready and waiting.

After a boring 15 minute walk, the group halted at the far side of the beach, where a medium sized boat was moored. It was a basic boat, had a color coat of mainly blues and whites and a roof cover was attached to the top. Nothing too powerful, but still looked hardy enough for what they were about to do.

“So that’s the boat, but where are our wetsuits?” Matt asked.

Excalibur looked over at the girl and grinned. “See that toilet block over there?” The alicorn girl pointed a dexterous finger at a nearby washroom.

“Yeah?” she replied, becoming a little cautious of the girl's words.

“Go have a look inside and take a look - and, of course, on the side that is your gender. So basically all of you except Harry.”

“Why do I have a bad feeling about what’s in there?” Twilight groaned, the fellow alicorn only extended her creepy grin further, pushing the lavender girl down a nervous path.

Twilight appreciated Excalibur and the info she leaked to them, but she was rather odd and the way she settled into being a girl, gave her the same question Ashley asked, yet she knew that Excalibur wouldn’t give a different answer...or a useful one at that.

A little while later, after some surprisingly high pitched protests from Matt, the group returned donning full body wetsuits and red faces, all but Rina and Harry, that is. The latter not being in the same room with them.

“What happened in there, guys?” Harry asked nonchalantly. He was given almost angry looks from the others in return.

“You don’t want to know... and I mean it.” Matt shivered.

“I have to agree with Matt, Ashley. It’s for your own good” Twilight added.

“Are you guys done chatting over there?” Excalibur said, her voice was a bit more stern now.

“Ah y-yes. Sorry, Excalibur.”

“Ok, then.” She paused to look over the group, satisfied with the suits fitting them well, except Florence, who seemed a tad tight around the chest area "That girl is bigger than me! I’m a bit envious.” Excalibur thought. Glancing to the boat, she proceeded to explain what was about to go down. “I’ve done a little digging on the web and I managed to find some coordinates of the wreck. Once we arrive at the location, you’ll need to get your gear on and jump in so that you can get a feel for the suits and practice using the equipment. I’m sorry we can’t test diving in a pool, but we simply have no time to waste. We either do it now or not at all. I need to stay with the boat, so you're all on your own. You guys ready?”

Everyone nodded, “Well, let’s swim over to the boat and get going. Hop to it, ladies… Literally!”

“When did you turn into a drill sergeant?” Twilight sighed.

“Just then. Now let’s go, go, go!” Excalibur said as they jumped into the water and swam toward her boat. “Oh I’m going to enjoy this a little. I’m just glad Shy isn’t here to see her counterpart. Even if they have the same bust line.” She muttered before taking to her wings and flying to her boat.

“Hey! How come you got to fly?” Matt yelled as she climbed into the boat.

The bikini wearing Alicorn chuckled. “Because you needed the swim to get a feel for the suits.” She pointed out helping the others out of the water. Florence acting just like Fluttershy before her time with Try Fighters, and her adventures.

The boat sped across the sea swiftly, the small waves licking at the boat’s hull as they went along. Occasionally the sound of these waves could be heard slamming into the hull and echoing out for all to hear. Florence, unfortunately, took the sounds as the most terrifying thing and claimed that the boat was breaking apart. All of us knew that this was complete rubbish, but poor Florence couldn’t stop shaking like a fragile leaf every time the sound made itself known.

Twilight had half a mind to slap the girl and bring her back to her senses. However, Twilight couldn’t bring herself to inflict harm upon another (minus Trixie), especially one of her friends. Even if it was for a good cause. Ashley decided to use a different method.

Scooting over to the shy girl, the farmer brought her into a hug and explained that everything was fine and that the boat would not sink, despite Florence’s protests. Eventually she calmed down after confirmation from Excalibur that her boat was perfectly safe and that she'd had only one case of the boat sinking...although she probably intended it as a joke. Something Matt found hilarious.

Speaking of which, during the trip, the others forced Matt to use a new name, now that he/she was anatomically female. She dreaded it, but admitted that it would be strange if she kept the name Matt, and so she went with the name Micaela. With that minor dilemma resolved, everyone went back to casual chatter and Twilight stared out at the clear water, pondering on the wreck and the relic aboard it.

The trip reminded Excalibur oddly of her first Nightmare Night. Something she felt like sharing with the group. “So you girls got plans for Halloween?” She asked keeping her memory to herself for now.
