Balancing Forces
13. Guests that are invited yet uninvited and welcome yet unwelcome.

Kazuki stood on the roof of the abandoned school, currently, he stood on a towel that was on the floor, his posture straight as he placed his hands together, he breathed in and out the cold night air. He was topless exposing his white skin with black tattoos and was only wearing simple dark gray yoga pants. He stood absolutely still and let the natural energy of this planet enter his body, he felt its anger at the scars that inflicted by the humans from two centuries ago, but that was just one of many turbulent times in the long memory of this world and from its perspective, the wound was still fresh.
The alien just smiled as he spread his feet and slowly extended his arms before lowering them along with his body, thus beginning a sequence of Tai chi chuan or Taijiquan (太极拳) and as he moved slowly and in sync with the energies and memories of this world. He saw and felt the beginning when heaven and earth were one, he felt the pull when the planet took shape, he felt the surface hardening and separating its molten body from the cosmos, he felt the tears of the sky come and flood the land, he felt life grow and spread from a single cell all the way to the humans that lived to this day and so much more. He returned to the beginning after going through all one hundred and eight forms and thus he closed this cycles, then he breathed out as the sun appeared on the horizon.
“That’s some fancy moves yah got there pal,” said Vale as she stood beside the door that was used to exit the building.
“It helps both the body and the mind,” said Kazuki as he lifted his arms as high as he could keeping his palms together and fingers pointing upward assuming the Urdhva Vrikshasana(ऊर्ध्व वृक्षासन, Upward Tree Position), then he asked Vale, “Wanna try?”
“I don't know,” said Vale with uncertainty in her voice as Kazuki arced his back until his hands touched the towel covered floor, thus he assumed the Urdhva Dhanurasana(ऊर्ध्व धनुरासन, Upward Bow Position).
“Suit yourself,” said Kazuki as he lifted his legs from the ground and straightened his posture while doing a handstand, this entering in the Adho Mukha Vrksasana(अधो मुख व्र्क्ससन, Face Downward Tree), then in a impressive show of balance he moved his legs in a upside down V before placing them on his arms and as he assumed the Tittibhasana(तित्तिभसन, Firefly Position) he asked, “Why up so earlier?”
“Lookout,” said Vale as she placed her sniper rifle beside her as she used a pair of binocular not even looking at Kazuki's feats of balance and flexibility.
“I see,” said Kazuki as he hooked his feet together and pressed his shoulders assuming the Bhujapidasana(भुजपिदसन, Shoulder Pressing Posture), then he let his bottom rest on the floor before lifting his hands and place their palms together as well as crossing his legs with the sole of his feet pointing up, thus assuming the Padmasana(पद्मासन, Lotus Posture) before saying, “A small group of humans is heading in the direction of this building straight ahead.”
Vale just pointed her binocular at the direction and sure enough, she managed to see three people heading their way.
“Hopefully the humans I agreed to take with me in addition to the others in this building,” said Kazuki as he got up and did a hand seal, then in a poof of smoke he was back in his kimono.
An hour later
Kazuki stood on the roof in seiza as he felt the sunlight against his skin, he could feel the presence of three additional human and they were probably talking about what happened. He “looked” at the eldritch abomination that was staring at him with a myriad of eyes and its tentacles just moved between the space between spaces as it “spoke” with Kazuki.
“It's not like it will bother your connection to your artifacts that much,” said Kazuki to Ug-Qualtoth and the Outer God replied in an unknowable way, which caused Kazuki to answer, “I see what I can do, but sometimes humans can be annoying and stubborn.”
After his brief conversation with the Outer God Kazuki turned “away” from the eldritch abomination and returned his attention back to the humans below. It seemed that they were done talking and were climbing the stairs, soon all of them were on the roof.
“Kaz…” started Aria as she looked at Kazuki’s back.
Kazuki just got up gracefully and turned around, then his lilac pupilless eyes gazed at the new arrivals. The first was a red-haired woman with green eyes and she was wearing a simple dress and a jacket and in her arms was a blonde kid with the same green eyes not older than two years if what Kazuki was seeing was right. Besides the mother and child was another woman with cerulean colored hair and azure eyes, this one with rust pieces of armor, clearly, scraps and leather put together. Kazuki sighed, he really didn’t want to just take in a bunch of kids but he made a promise and he will fulfill it. However, his caught something that he barely noticed at first glance, so he just walked toward the redhead but the one with cerulean hair got between Kazuki and the redhead.
“Um, fascinating,” said Kazuki as he phased through the startled woman with cerulean colored hair and looked directly at the paralyzed redhead. Then he just commented to himself, “Who knew I would come across such as rare finding?”
The woman with cerulean colored hair just jumped to the side and aimed her gun at Kazuki’s head while the redhead remained frozen while looking at the red eyes with spiral pattern that Kazuki now possessed, however, she came back to reality after the child extended her arms and tried to touch his face, her failure to touch him seemed to be more amusing than anything. That caused the redhead to came back to reality and take a step back, clearly in fear at the display of his Kamui.
“You really need to work on your first impression,” said Sunset as she placed a hand on the redhead’s shoulder to reassure her that everything was fine.
“So, who I’m transporting today?” asked Kazuki while he ignored Sunset's jab/advice.
“That’s Juniper Montage,” said Aria pointing at the woman with cerulean colored hair, then she pointed at the redhead and said, “That's Gloriosa Daisy and her daughter Gloriosa Lily.”
Kazuki just nodded and opened his third eye with the Rinne Sharingan and opened a Yomotsu Hirasaka before saying, “Now take off your clothes.”
“What?!” shouted Juniper in disbelief.
“Have you not explained the situation to them?” asked Kazuki.
“I have but I don’t remember you mentioning anything about removing our clothing,” said Adagio as she approached Kazuki.
“I said ‘gather anything you want to bring with you and don't want to left it behind in absolutely any circumstance’ and clothing isn’t that essential,” commented Kazuki before he continued, “Anything you take with you will have to undergo decontamination, so fabric will most likely just be burned in an incineration chamber.”
Sunset sighed before she and the sirens took off their clothes, the others did so with many degrees of resistance but eventually, they just took off their clothes, the only exceptions where River Lily’s bow and River Vale’s cowboy hat, those items were placed in their bags.
“No weapons either, I can make replacements later,” said Kazuki and everyone just dropped their weapons, the one that did it with the most hesitation was Vale not wanting to part with her sniper rifle. Eventually they all stepped through the portal, however, Kazuki stopped Gloriosa Daisy and said, “Leave you necklace behind.”
“Bu-but it’s the last thing I had to remember my brother,” pleaded Daisy and Kazuki just sighed.
“That crystal can’t leave this planet, unfortunately, you will have to choose between the memory of your brother and a possible future far from this forsaken land,” said Kazuki coldly and Daisy just looked at her daughter before taking her necklace off and giving it to Kazuki and stepping through the portal. Kazuki just dropped the crystal and stepped through the Yomotsu Hirasaka and he closed the window leaving the group in an endless dark void.
The window opened in front of the group and Kazuki disintegrated his clothes as he stepped into a white and sterile chamber, then he did some gestures and a shimmer passed over the window before he motioned for them to come. Sunset and the sirens were the first to walk through, however, as soon as Dawn walked out her form changed and a clopping sound was heard, when she looked down she saw that she turned into an anthropomorphic pony like Sunset and the sirens, she looked mostly the same but she could see the tip of her new muzzle, hooves and light pink coat of fur.
Dawn stumbled not used to her new body but luckily Sunset caught her and helped her walk to a nearby bench, Firefly and Penny went after Dawn and the moment they crossed they acquired the same light pink fur coat. Haven, Sugar and Alexis walked out and they all acquired a white coat of fur, then Daisy and her daughter went next acquiring a pale amaranth coat. Michael, Vale, Lily and Windy went next, Michael acquired a light orange fur while Vale gained a light yellow coat, then Lily and Windy gained a light green coat. Oz became a dragon hatching with purple scales and eyes along with golden spines and horns while Bee gained a dark yellow coat, lastly, Hild acquired a dull gray coat.
Kazuki just took their bags and placed in a container that would be taken to a different chamber where would be sorted and decontaminated before sitting on the bench and close his eyes before waiting, he was rather disappointed that all of them turned into the same species as their counterpart while Juniper, Daisy and her daughter became earth ponies, but considering Daisy's potential it was to be expected.
Decontamination chamber, present time
“Kazuki, what are those three doing here?” asked Nameless through the intercom and he immediately knew who she was referring to.
“We happen to cross paths and I decided to bring them with me,” said Kazuki casually and while the others were surprised they figure that they were being observed.
“Do you even know what those three did?” asked Moon through the intercom.
“Of course, I was the one that though Strife Magic to them in the first placed,” said Kazuki and an awkward silence followed.
“We will talk about this later,” said Moon with a serious tone and Kazuki just shrugged.
A few hours later, early afternoon
Kazuki was wearing a tight fishnet shirt, black pants and blue sandals as he made some Japanese clothing for the newly arrived guests and ordered some thestrals to arrange some rooms for the new guests. Sunset was with Nameless and the alicorn teleported them to Kazuki’s room where they are probably talking, Moon and the dragon sisters decided to accompany the guests to their rooms. By the way they all tensed, except for Sunset, they were probably expecting a fight when they saw Nameless, Moon, Song and Jewel, probably because the only beings they had any experience in dealing with that were that massive compared to them were Super Mutants, although the sirens were expecting a fight for a different reason.
Even after sorting out that simple misunderstanding Sunset and the sirens expressed their confusion at the alicorns, Sunset because she only knew about Celestia and Cadence who was a recently ascended and adopted into the royal family not long before her departure while the sirens because they only knew Celestia and Luna before the “Nightmare Moon Incident” and while they knew of Faust she was already dead by the time they started to spread and feed on strife on Equestria.
Kazuki summoned a scroll with the schematics that he managed to acquire from the various factions and organizations in that version of the Fallout Universe and was ready to catalog them before relaxing, that and the fact that he no longer had an eldritch abomination over his metaphorical shoulder. Since he probably will have a serious conversation with Moon and Nameless tonight. He just picked his lab coat and headed for the archive he built underground while his guests settle down and have their first decent meal in years, or their lives really, after their transformations into native species he observed that they had great potential and it would be fun to train them in the future.
Kazuki’s room, the night of the same day
“So, what exactly is there to talk about?” asked Kazuki as he sat cross-legged assuming the Padmasana only wearing his dark gray yoga pants —a different pair from the ones he desintegrated— while his hands were on Dhyana Mudra(ध्यान मुद्रा, Seal/Gesture of meditation) by resting his hands, palm facing upward, at his navel with the right hand on top. His question was directed at the two alicorns that were sitting cross-legged in front of him on his bed, it would have been awkward if it wasn’t for the fact that they wore biker shorts under their short kimonos and if Kazuki cared at all about the awkwardness of the situation.
“Man, I can’t believe I missed this,” said Aria, which caused the eyebrows of the alicorns to twitch, then they looked behind them and saw the sirens and Sunset sitting around the chabudai that Kazuki normally used to serve tea and snacks for guests.
“Yeah, who knew that those boring games that Kazuki taught us would be this entertaining?” said Sonata in a happy and jovial tone that exuded her natural bubbly and seemingly naive personality before popping some snacks in her mouth.
“Not to mention useful, it was because of these strategy games that we managed to survive through many complicated situations,” said Adagio as she placed another piece on the board.
“Such a fascinating game,” said Sunset as she looked at the board, a variant of a game that Kazuki taught them that was meant to be played by two players, of course, this variant was meant for four players and the game was called Go.
“Isn’t it? Kaz taught us a bunch of different games and their variations,” said Sonata after swallowing her sweet snack and place another piece on the board.
“Why are they here?” asked Moon as she pointed to the four mares in kimonos playing board games.
“They are guests and this is about them anyway,” answered Kazuki who still with his eyes closed and in a meditative position.
“But we are here to talk about them,” argued Nameless.
“Exactly,” said Kazuki simply and Nameless just sighed at Kazuki’s attitude but Moon just placed a hand on the shoulder of her sister since she was, at this point, used to Kazuki strange attitude. Then Kazuki said to them, “Besides, it’s not like they won’t ask about it.”
“You know what those monsters are, right?” asked Nameless bluntly and that caused the sirens to stiffen, Sunset to frown and Kazuki to open his eyes.
“That was terribly rude, besides being a monster is relative but yes, I know what they are, it is the whole reason I brought them back in the first place,” said Kazuki just as bluntly as Nameless.
“They almost plunged Equestria into an Age of Strife and they probably planned to do the same with the rest of Equus,” said Moon.
“Plus, Starswirl disappeared not long after they did and I still think they had something to do with it, that and the repercussions of their influenced could still be felt many years after they were banished,” said Nameless.
Each comment affected the sirens, while they didn't exactly regret their actions they were simply more aware and had more sympathy than before. Sunset, on the other hand, just frowned at the comments directed at her friends and while she knew and understood that Nameless was a more emotional and somewhat brutal version of her former mentor it was still jarring to compare Nameless with the mental image she had of Princess Celestia. However, Sunset could appreciate Nameless far more than Celestia for the simple fact that Nameless cared enough to try and bring Sunset back while Celestia decided to just forget about her, move own and hope she was ok.
“You know that I'm an existence far more monstrous than them, right?” asked Kazuki and the sisters just looked at each other with uncertainty, then Kazuki added, “Besides, do you even know what a siren is?”
That question caught those present off guard and the quartet stopped their game to look at the trio.
“Obviously, they are equine-like sea monsters that wear the shape of a pony not unlike a changeling and use their song to cause and spread strife so they can feed,” said Nameless bluntly and Sunset had to place a hand on Aria’s to not just go up to the fiery alicorn and either give a slap on the face or a piece of her mind.
“Thank you for your opinion,” said Kazuki plainly and that hurt the three a bit but that changed when he added, “Despite being factually wrong and filled with prejudice based on ignorance and/or misinformation.”
“And what is wrong with it?” asked Moon.
“For one, siren is not even a species its a condition and my students are not sea monsters they are a very rare type of sea pony,” said Kazuki and that honestly shocked the sister but he didn't stop, “If you want to just eliminate the sirens them you would have to kill a few ponies as well.”
“What do you mean by that?” asked Nameless as she clenched her fists at the idea of killing her own little ponies.
“Exactly what I said, being a siren is a condition and some ponies regardless of tribe are born as sirens, those that can infuse their magic into their voice and sing melodies that stir the heart of those who hear it, all that instinctively, I would say there are more than a few famous ponies that are sirens but don’t know it,” explained Kazuki as he looked at the two alicorns.
“Even if what you say is true, how come none of them reached remotely close levels of power as those three?” asked Nameless as she pointed to the three behind her.
“Because none of them have foci that were made to amplify Song Magic, even if the ones that my students stole after advancing in Strife Magic weren’t specifically made for that type of magic they are still far more powerful than what the average pony has access to,” said Kazuki to the two alicorns and their eyes widen in surprise when they processed what he said but he ignored them in favor of looking to the three sirens and say, “Which reminds me, tomorrow morning I want the three of you in my lab to do a check up and see what I can do about those bloodstones.”
“They were your students?” asked Nameless but it clearly more of a statement than a question.
“Indeed, three rebellious and ambitious students that left my tutelage to search for ‘power that was rightfully theirs’ or ‘their true destiny’ because in their mind I was holding them back. Sounds familiar doesn’t?” asked Kazuki as he focused on Sunset for a moment before focusing on Nameless.
*groan* “Fine, I won’t complain about their presence anymore but don’t expect me to be too friendly with those three until they prove to me that they aren’t a threat,” said Nameless.
“Agreed,” said Moon reluctantly.
An awkward silence followed and Adagio looked at the window, where she saw the dark sky before saying, “Look at the time, I think it's better for us to go and get some rest since we have an appointment first thing in the morning, right girls?”
“Yeah, appointment,” said Aria as she got up and followed Adagio out of the room.
“Night Kaz,” said Sonata before leaving the room.
“Well, I better go as well, it’s been years since I slept on a proper bed,” said Sunset before leaving the room as well.
Nameless and Moon just wished a good night and left Kazuki alone, he laid down on his bed and closed his eye because he figured that since he was here he might as well get some sleep, besides a rest would do wonders for his mind.
Next morning, Kazuki’s lab
Kazuki woke just before the sunrise and like always he headed to his lab, more specifically the archives, where he started to take notes of the information he got from that version of the Fallout Universe and he remained like this until the sirens arrived.
“Take off your clothes and lay down on the tables, also assume your true forms,” said Kazuki as he pointed at three long tables that he prepared for them. Then he asked just as they finished taking off their clothes, “Do you want me to use my Hatsu or traditional tools? The former will be quicker but the latter will probably be more comfortable.”
“Your Hatsu is that gross looking thing that healed Firefly, right?” asked Aria and Kazuki nodded, the sirens shivered at the thought of that thing hovering over them but they wanted to get this over with as soon as possible, so Aria simply said, “The former.”
“Former,” said Adagio and Sonata nodded before the three laid on the table and assumed their true form.
Their coat of fur gave way to small scales but kept their color, however, their legs fused and became beautiful fish tails that shared the color of their manes and was covered in darker scales, thin wing-like fins that grew on their back that possessed membranes with the same shade as their lower bodies and lastly small fins on their forearms, back of lower body and sides of their head.
“Can you please hurry up we don’t want our scales to dry,” said Aria and Kazuki just tied his hair into three braids.
“Dr Frankenstein,” said Kazuki as each braid became a Nen Beast that represented that particular Hatsu.
Each siren squirmed uncomfortably as that faceless monstrosities hovered over their vulnerable and exposed forms, it became increasingly more uncomfortable when it opened its seven eyes as it approached their chest to inspect the gems embedded there. However, they sighed in relief when many of the mechanical appendages started to spray salt water on their scales and it was around that time that Kazuki spoke, “It appears that the stones have merged with your bodies but it seems that their composition changed from the original makeup, fascinating.”
“So, are you going to take them off?” asked Sonata.
“At this point, it would be more advantageous to keep them in your bodies since they seem to have adapted, however, I will be taking a sample,” said Kazuki as each Frankenstein approached a tentacle with a serrated disc that started to spin and another tentacle with surgical pincers approached as well.
It left a rather uncomfortable feeling on them as the saw’s teeth scraped against the bloodstone on their chest, had they been acquaintance with modern medicine they would have probably compared the sound and the feeling to a dental drill of a dentist scraping against their teeth. Their torment was ended when a pieced the size and shape similar to a splinter was taken, then another tentacle with an opening approach before releasing a cool gel on the crack part of the gem.
“Now just rest and the gems should be healed by tomorrow morning, also don't use the stone during that time unless you want to damage it,” said Kazuki as he stopped beside Sonata and used his right hand to spread the gel over the gem while his left picked a petri dish from his pocket. The Frankenstein just placed the shard on the dish before sealing it and disappear.
Ignoring Sonata's moans Kazuki repeated this process with Aria and Adagio. While they did a better job at hiding their reaction when Kazuki made contact with the sensitive crystal that was part of their bodies the results was still evident by the blushes on their faces. They sat up and their tails split into three parts forming a pair of legs with hooves while the third part remained a fish-like tail with fins but smaller almost touching the floor. Once they were off of the wet table they returned to their pony form and put on their kimonos.
“Is that all?” asked Aria as she adjusted her green kimono.
“Yes, that will be all,” said Kazuki as he stored the Petri dishes in the cabinet.
“Um, Kaz, is there someplace where we can swim? I kinda miss the feeling of water on my scales and fins,” asked Sonata after she put on her pink kimono.
“It doesn't need to be salt water it can be just a freshwater lake for us to swim, while we prefer salt water we have to make due with what we have,” said Adagio as she finished adjusting the obi of her purple kimono.
“There are some lakes in the surface and underground springs, just ask one of my assistants,” said Kazuki and the sirens nodded before leaving.
After making sure that everything was in place Kazuki used fire chakra to dry the tables before moving them to the storage room, he left that lab and headed for the underground village, time to do some recruitment for a mission he to fo in a long time.
Underground hangar where the portal is located, noon
Kazuki stood before the finished portal that will be used to attempt a connection to the other portal in his workshop, the one in his flying fortress if it still intact. If not, then his fortress didn't survive and/or the original portal was badly damaged, either way, he will have to reassume searching for his original base the hard way.
The portal itself was a ring of crystal with many runes and seals carved and painted on its surface while having cables and wires of different metals weaved around it in spiral patterns, the structure remained in a vertical position because of metal supports on the ground that created a base for the ring. In front of the ring was a small but wide ramp to allow access when its open and on the right side of the ramp was a console made of the same materials as the rings connected by some of the cables and wires that were weaved around the structure, essentially Kazuki just made a Stargate.
“So, what's the plan boss?” asked Rex wearing his Zetsu as he stood behind Kazuki with a squad of Diamond Dogs and thestrals as well as some of the former slaves that were at an acceptable level to take this mission, at least Kazuki hoped so, along with Song and Jewel. Nameless was still adapting to her new body and Moon was helping her, the other pack leaders wanted to come but Kazuki reasoned that it wouldn't be wise to leave with all pack leaders, especially if something went wrong on this mission.
“First we activate the Gate, if the connection is established I will send a clone to check the other side, then we move in if its safe and secure the facility, if a connection cannot be established then we will connect the Gate with one of the other Gates that I built throughout the millennia and start connecting all my scattered bases and followers,” Kazuki verified those present and they all nodded with a loud “hai”.
Kazuki made two clones, one moved to the console and started to type the codes and calculation necessary to create a stable connection. The glyphs started to glow and move as a small marble sized ball of black substance with blue watery edges, the moving glyphs moved in all directions in different speeds until eventually, some of them started to cluster on the right side of the ring into the shape of an arrowhead and from its tip that was pointing inward a light shot in the direction of the small rear into the fabric space-time. The same process repeated itself from the top, bottom, between the left and bottom, left, between the right and top, between the right and bottom as well as the between the left and top, in the end, the eight beams disappeared and left the tear that expanded quickly like a explosion but was contained by the ring.
The second clone walked forward and once he was in front of the black and oily-like veil that looked like a starless void he stepped forward and was engulfed by the portal like he would if he sunk into a vat of black oil. A tense silence followed the departure of the second clone, however, that changed when the original Kazuki motioned for them to advance and follow him through the portal. Passing through the portal was interesting, it felt like they were falling while inside a tunnel made of dark blue particles of light that were moving so fast and disappearing that they looked like small lines of see-through distortions in the air. Then that disappeared when their feet touched the ground on the other side.
Kazuki and his forces emerged from the portal in a dark place where visibility was almost zero but their training took over and they kept walking to not impede the forces that were behind them while channeling chakra to their eyes to enhance their vision enough to allow them to see Kazuki and some of the place they emerged, the only exceptions were the dragon sisters since they had natural night vision. When the small platoon crossed the portal completely the portal was closed and they stopped by Kazuki’s hand sign as he used his Byakugan to navigate the placed, his geta clanking against the floor until he reached the wall, more specifically the panel on the wall that he opened showing an electric panel and from there he just flipped the switch.
The neon lights of the place came to life bathing it in white light, that caused the troops to cover their eyes as they slowly adapted to the sudden change in brightness and when they could see their vision was filled with white. The floor and walls were white and made of unknown material, many mechanical cylinders and arms came down from the ceiling and many computers were placed against the walls with many screens that looked panels made of either plastic or glass on the walls as well as some colored cylinders filled with an unknown liquid.
*whistle* “Damn, you weren't kidding about these place,” said Song as she looked around.
“Prepare for battle,” said Kazuki simply as he jumped back to his place in front of the troops while facing the sliding doors that were not far from the electric panel.
“Why? This place looks empty,” said Song.
“And clean,” interjected Jewel as she knelt down and rubbed her claw on the floor.
“Exactly, who cleaned and fixed a lab that was supposedly abandoned for thousands of years?” asked Kazuki and Song’s eyes widen just as his troops got into fighting position.
*ALARM* “Intruder alert! Intruder alert!” *ALARM*
As the alarms blared and some red lights blinked while synthetic voice informed his probable enemy of the situation the doors slide open and a squad of humanoid figures with silver skin and armor that seemed to be part of their bodies, visors covering the two glowing eyes that were clearly optical sensors while the little bit of fur that was exposed was similar to natural fur but Kazuki could see that was made of synthetic fiber and their mane and was made of very thin optic fiber. The ponies that stood in the doorway were clearly of artificial origin and their armor had chakra being conducted in its plates, which interfered with his Byakugan and didn’t allow to see their internal working without using his Jōgan but what he was seeing made Kazuki compare them to either synthezoids, synthoid or reploids.
“Identify yourselves and state your purpose,” ordered the one in the middle as he or she —Kazuki couldn’t tell at the moment— aimed an advanced assault rifle at Kazuki and his troops.
“I’m the owner of this lab,” said Kazuki as he started to channel chakra into his fingers.
“Impossible,” said the enemy soldier as he or she activated something on their guns, evident by the whirring noise that was probably charging so form of energy.
“How did you invade our base without being detected?” asked another soldier, one that was at the right of the one that started the conversation.
“Through the Gate behind me,” answered Kazuki and that caused the enemy soldiers to look at each other with uncertainty and they seemed to stop and hear something in the distance probably from a hidden communicator. Then the noise from their guns stopped but they kept their weapons at Kazuki and his troops that were ready to fight, after an intense and silent standoff something was heard from the hallway.
*thud* *thud* *thud* *thud*
The sound of something heavy hitting the ground was heard and by its repeating pattern and steadiness it was the sound of steps, then eventually a very tall figure appeared behind the enemy soldiers and Kazuki’s eyes in surprise and disbelief.
The figure was that of tall and proud mare over 10ft tall, almost the size of the dragon sister, not counting her long and sharp horn, her long and silk red mane and tail, her beautiful marble colored wing wider than she was tall, she was wearing a white and golden skin tight bodysuit with armor on her arms, shoulders, thighs and shins that had red glowing lines. That fact, of course, left nothing for the imagination from her bountiful bosom, her wide child-bearing hips, her round and soft behind as well as her strong looking muscles beneath the tight suit, on her hooves were a pair of gold-plated shoes with hook-like blades that were folded. The mare that had a body that even Celestia and Luna, probably Moon and Nameless as well, would envy and it was understandable since it was their mother, Queen Faust.
“Hello Kaz,” said Faust as she placed her right hand on her hips, however, Kazuki immediately knew that something was wrong the moment he met her stunning light blue eyes, enough for him to activate his Jōgan and that only caused further disbelief, which was confirmed by the Rinnegan on his third eye.
“Faust, what have you done?” asked Kazuki with undeniable incredulity in his voice.
Author's Note
Sorry for the wait, at first I decided to wait and see what new information we could get about the Ōtsutsuki clan in the Boruto anime but since it was taking too long I decided to continued writing. Also, if you need a reference for the portal it looks similar to a Realm Tear from the new God of War(2018) and the particle effect in the tunnel between portals are like the lights from the Bifrost. And for those that don't know Reploids and Synthezoids are artificial life forms from Megaman X and Marvel Comics respectively while Synthoid is basically the same thing but from multiple other media such as Transformers/G.I. Joe and DC, for more information click HERE, HERE and HERE.
Anyway, the inspiration for Sunset and the sirens' clothing is HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.
The inspiration for the sirens true form is HERE.
The inspiration for the laboratories(the ones in his old base) are HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. Also if you are having dificulty picturing the underground labs just imagine something similar to Orochimaru's labs.
The inspiration for the enemy soldiers are HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE but with Megaman style helmets.
Lastly, inspirations for Faust's suit HERE but with the teal/blue replaced by yellow and the yellow lines replaced by red.
