Comic Con

One day at a certain comic con that you may all be familiar with if you read the previous story, Maria Dreemur decided to go to the comic con for old times sake. She parked her car near the entrance of the comic con and got out of the car along with her friend Jax. Maria is Japanese, 18 years old but is younger than Connor, has black wavy hair, hazel eyes, black jacket with fur linings, white scarf, blue jeans, white shoes, and red shirt. She pretty much looks like my cover art except she is not wearing the same outfit or at least not for now. Jax is an African who was born in Japan, 18 years old but is older than Connor, has dark brown spiky hair, dark brown eyes, red headband, black jacket, black pants, red shirt, and black shoes. Wait a minute, isn't Maria dead you say, well she isn't in this universe. You see this is yet another alternate universe where instead of Maria dying to the thug in the street that fateful night in The Price To Pay For Power, it was Connor who died that night. Now you pretty much know Maria's background story but if you want to learn more, I may reveal more information further in the story if you comment below. Now it's time to see what Maria and Jax are up to.

"Hey Jax, what was it like when you and Connor used to go here?", asked Maria.

"It was great, I miss those days. Basically we would look for cool stuff or we would check out new stuff for the stuff we like.", answered Jax.

"That sounds like fun. Why don't we check out that shop over there?", said Maria while pointing at the iconic shop that Connor and Travis used.

"I don't know Maria, that place looks a little creepy and we're not even in the horror section of this place.", said Jax.

"Oh come on, don't tell me your scared. Let's take a peek, it'll only take a few seconds.", said Maria.

"Fine but if something creepy jumps out at me, I'm getting outta here.", said Jax.

When Maria and Jax walked into the shop, they saw many novelty items that look old and valuable. Then they saw a relatively creepy old lady sitting at the cash register and the old lady said, "Come in, come in, don't be shy. What would you like to purchase today?"

"Maybe that cool looking book over there.", said Maria while pointing at a book that looks suspiciously like the book Travis stole.

"Out of all the things in this place you pick a book. Why don't you just pick up that feather duster over there?", said Jax sarcastically.

"Well I'm getting it anyway. How much does this book cost?", asked Maria.

"That'll be 5 dollars young lady.", answered the old lady.

"Okay, um, here's 5 dollars.", said Maria as she handed the 5 dollars to the old lady and after that the old lady put the 5 dollars in the cash register.

The old lady then said, "I have a question that I would like to ask before you go."

"Sure, what is it?", asked Maria.

"I don't know about this Maria, this just getting all kinds of creepy right now.", said Jax.

"Don't be such a baby Jaxxie.", said Maria.

"Don't call me that, you know I hate it when you call me that.", said Jax.

"To answer your question young lady, my question is: if you could wish for one thing, what would it be?", said the old lady.

Maria then mumbled something in the first sentence but spoke up in the second sentence, "I wish I had the power to protect Connor. Wait a minute, why would you ask this question in the first place, sounds kinda personal?"

"The reason why I asked you this question is because I can grant your wish but at a price.", said the old lady.

"What price are we talking about?", asked Maria.

"Oh come on, you can't be taking this seriously are you?", asked Jax.

"Whatever gets us out of here faster works for me.", said Maria in a hushed voice to make sure the old lady didn't hear her.

"Oh, I get it.", said Jax in a hushed voice.

"The price is simple, all you have to do is go to the dimension where a monster lies and slay that beast. This monster was responsible for killing my husband and I want you to kill this monster to avenge my poor husband.", said the old lady.

"Sure, I know how it feels to lose someone you love.", said Maria.

"You can't be serious about this Maria. Are going to just go to who knows where and just kill a monster for an old widow?", said Jax.

"Yes I am Jax.", said Maria.

Jax then thought to himself, "How does Connor put up with this crap?" Then Jax said, "Fine, I'll come with you. How are we going anyway?"

"I will open up a portal to send you two to the realm in which the monster lies. Be careful though because he has supernatural abilities even beyond my own and I'm am a former void god.", said the old lady.

"Wait a minute, a void god, you mean those people who watch over different dimensions and stuff?", asked Jax.

"Yes, or at least I used to be. I retired a few years ago, so did my husband before that monster killed him. Now go through the portal or it may be too late for me to send you through.", said the old lady while opening a portal.

"Bye lady. I'll be sure to avenge your husband.", said Maria before Jax and Maria jumped through the portal.

The old lady then sat back down on her chair. She then picked up a picture of herself and her husband. Her husband was the old man that Travis killed. She put the picture back where it was and waited.

Ponyville

Maria and Jax landed at the gates of Ponyville without a scratch on them. Jax then went all brony mode and started pointing out all of the landmarks that were in Ponyville. Maria wasn't really paying attention, she was just looking at all of these buildings in disbelief. Then ponies saw Maria and Jax.

One pony asked, "Who are you two? Aren't you 2 humans or something?"

"Yes we are, why do you ask?", answered Maria.

"Because we knew a human named Connor.", said the pony.

"Connor?", asked Maria.
