Dreamer Adventures

Shade was waiting for Chara to come out of the tent. Her old clothes were torn and mucky that they had to get her a new set of clothes.

“I hate all of this!” Chara said as she held her destroyed green and yellow sweater “Shade, use your book to fix my clothes!” Chara continues as she looked over where her companion might be.

“So we went out there, stole clothes and now you want me to fix your old ones? I’m not Marry Poppins!” He sarcastically states.

“What can I say? I always liked staying in one style!” Chara said defensively as she didn't like the clothes that they had gotten, there were no striped sweaters or shirts and all of them were a little to girly.

“Well deal with it, I can’t fix things by just writing about it. Its like you try to fix a mash up art when its supposed to be just jumbled images.” He told her, frowning a bit. “I don’t understand why you even grabbed them if you're not going to wear them!”

“Because I don't want to go around naked and it was the best of a bad situation!” Chara yelled out as she was naked and glaring daggers at the clothes that she was forced to take.

“Either that or nudity and I doubt you want the latter.” He said, making Chara glare at where she thought he was standing outside. Chara continues standing there practically naked, in just her soft white cotton panties, not much to show with her flat chest. “I can’t sew anyways so just pick out an outfit.”

She huffed. “...Why does everything have to be cute…” Chara mumbled as she picks up a pink shirt that had a kitten on the front causing her glare to double in intensity. She looked down and saw the matching baby blue skirt, with white tennis shoes, and frilly socks right beside the skirt.

“Next time I pick the store we go to to get clothes!” Chara yelled at her companion as she started putting on the clothes. Luckily her underwear is still intact, less items to get. Minutes later she came out, frowning. “There is nothing about this whole situation that doesn't make me violently angry.” Chara said with a deadpan voice and a scowl on her face. She blushed however when he kissed her forehead.

“I think it's nice, though why your against pink is a complete mystery,” He said, adding sarcasm in the end.

“I don't do cute I'm supposed to be a menacing harbinger of death!” Chara says puffing her cheeks out with a red face. He shrugged before walking inside, her ears heard shuffling and clothes drop to the floor.

“Now where is that spare cloak?” Shade said to himself, things being moved around by the sound of it. Chara curiously followed the sounds of shuffling until she saw him and froze.

What was standing where Shade is isn’t a boy, but a girl! Similar height to her, she had long orange hair tied at the end. She had shorts on but her chest is shown to have one size bigger than flat chested. Her skin was peach colored and her eyes looking at the intruding Chara are brown, her cheeks flushed at herself being caught.

“Sooo~ it seems my illustrious kidnapper is female,” Chara said with a smirk. She was hit by a flying pillow from Shade who pouted.

“You know what I want to go get… a burger!” Chara said suddenly as her stomach growled.

“Go then, I’m staying here.” She answered, turning to looking for something to wear.

“But I don't know the streets like you do!” Chara says as she pulls on her acquaintance to try and get her to follow.

“I said no!” She shouted, pulling herself out of Charas grasp. “I’m not reckless like you! I want to live thank you very much!” She went back to grabbing different fabrics for something nice to wear or finding her spare cloak in this pile of mess.

“Can you at least give me an illusion so that they won't grab me on sight?” Chara asked as she put her hands on her hips. Sighing, Shade used a spell that made Chara glow for a bit before fading to see a filly in her place.

She was a unicorn filly with tan fur and brown hair her cutie mark of a red heart.

“Now I shall go get the food!” Chara says as she hurries to the exit. As soon as she exits she sees Royal Guards all over the place. It was almost like what happens when you kick over an ant hill.

Chara took a few worried steps, the guards walking past her as if they were trudging through mud. That is until one of them stopped dead in his tracks, a blue visor attached to his helmet hiding his eyes.

“Well, that certainly isn’t something you see everyday.” The visored knight said. Another knight went to his side, looking at the disguised Chara.

“Oh, don’t tell me… should we call it in?” He asked.

“No, we handle this ourselves.” As one, every knight turned and steeled themselves, some carrying mystic shock collars, and rune inscribed blades.

“u-um you wouldn't hurt a little girl would you?” Chara says stuttering a bit as she started channeling determination to her legs already preparing to leg it and she can already feel the side effects of channeling determination.

“NO QUARTER!” The twenty or so soldiers exclaimed as one, a blade finding purchase through Chara’s spine, shearing through the disguise upon contact.

Chara screamed in pain as she almost lost concentration on her determination. Gathering herself, she started running like her life depended on it as she felt the black soul energy starting to put her spine back together.

Within seconds her spine is fully healed although she felt dirty just having that stuff help her.

Fourteen of the soldiers took to the skies while the remaining six gave unfettered chase on hoof. “Stone Rune Augmentations, NOW!” The visored knight ordered as the runes on their blades began to glow with gray light. Several aerial knights began to lunge and throw their elongated blades like javelins, only managing to cut along the fleeing Chara.

Unfortunately, it seemed to be enough as stone began to run along the girl’s cuts. Chara began focusing the hate into her cuts to fight back the petrification as tears started to run down her face due to the pain she was feeling from the stone in her cuts. Chara continued to run through the city, knocking over stuff to stop the ground pursuers.

“Please I don't want to fight!” Chara yelled as she continued to run.

A unicorn had teleported to her side, ramming the broadside of his blade upon Chara’s nose. “And I really need that promotion, so do me a favor and make this hard!” Following up, the blade was plunged deep through her kidney. At the same time Chara made a blade of determination and plunged it right into his dick... Chara did not think this asshole needed to reproduce at all. Chara then produced the Shield of Kindness creating a heart-shaped green shield in front of her.

With a shrill and glass shattering squeak, the poor bastard fell to the floor in agony. “Why… why did it have to be the dick…”

“Because nobody needs you reproducing.” Chara says as if it was obvious before the ground below the guy started lighting up bright red impaling him in several non-vital areas but would cause the most Agony increasing the bastards pain.

The remaining nineteen soldiers descended upon Chara like lightning from the sky, their blades now crackling with blue energy. Eight blades pierced through her spine once again and six had been stabbed into the ground in a circle, augmenting the electric shock.

“They keep stabbing me in the spine! Why!? Why do they keep stabbing me in the spine!?” Chara said through her pain as she sent more knives in all directions stabbing, the ones stuck to the ground in the dick while the aerial ones evaded. She then had her determination knives blow up effectively neutering the ground troops. Chara felt blood pooling in her mouth as her Soul sent energy out to try and fix her wounds

As the majority of the ground forces lamented the loss of their reproductive organs, the aerial team had begun their assault anew. Some tried ramming into Chara, while those who still had swords began slicing along her body with several more enchantments, ranging from fire, ice, petrification, and at least one aromatic enchantment that smelled like a mixture of lillies and regret.

“Leave me alone!” Chara yelled out as her body starts to Glow white with red outlines.

Doing the absolute opposite, each sword bearer doubled down and instead aimed for Chara’s skull. As soon as the swords came within an inch of her skull, a wave of determination was sent outwards. The wave sent them flying, burning and slicing anything in its path.

Eighteen soldiers lay either dead or burning, some even pinned to a wall… save for one, the visored knight having bowed out after his comrades had been relieved of their “Privates”.

Chara pulled her knife out and held it in a defensive position already telling that her body could not handle any more power at this moment but she stared down the visored knight.

“Are you going to take your knights and leave? Because some of them might die if you don't.” Chara says, breathing heavily as anyone could tell she was barely standing. Her only response was the pained frightened cry of the poor sap running for his life… and a puddle of piss.

“Well that's good… I really didn't feel like destroying my body…” Chara says before walking five steps and passing out.

Shade came up to Charas side while shooting revive bullets on the ones dead before releasing healing barrage on them. The now female then throws a smoke bomb on the floor, giving her cover as she takes Chara back to camp. Shade sees the wounds on Charas body that started being covered in black goop before it disappeared showing a fully healed Chara.

Failure… that is what lieutenant Vigor thought of himself as. As he trot along the halls, a mentally broken and shambling mess, it was all he thought of himself as.

The double doors of the throne room were opened to him, his fellow knights flinching at his current state. The princesses, bless their hearts, started to quiet the cacophony of petitioners as they laid worried eyes upon him.

Vigor tore his visor from it’s hinges and tossed it before them. “I would like to resign.”

Princess Luna surprised everyone that she spoke first. “What reason do you have to resign, White Knight Vigor?” Princess Luna says with a commanding tone.

He looked up, his eyes lifeless… soulless. “I sent innocent soldiers to their deaths. That is reason enough.”

“What dost thou mean? We sent you after a mere child?” Luna says, concern in her tone.

The fractured soldier began to chuckle. His chuckle grew into a laugh. His laugh became the roar of a beast caught within a trap devised to cause as much anguish as possible. “A… a child!? A child she says! You sent us to the king of all demons itself! A child she says!” Vigor’s laughter died down, unnerving those still in attendance.

Schooling his features, he once again gave a lifeless, soul crushing stare to his diarchs. “Shining Armor shall have a full report by sundown. I will make my leave afterwards.” Luna gave Celestia a worried look as Celestia has been silent through the whole Exchange.

The broken soldier turned around, walking as if in a daze to his quarters. That's the time when Celestia spoke sadly. “I can’t believe this. Twenty, just twenty couldn’t bring in this creature. Maybe they said something to it to offend her?” She says standing up and heading out the doors.

“Did you not hear him sister!? This child is a serious threat and we may need to call your student for help!” Luna says following after her sister. Luna was worried that this would be a Discord incident all over again.

“The Elements are a last resort… We need another option.”

“Sister be reasonable! This child took on and won against some of our finest!” Luna said, completely aghast at the way Celestia was dealing with this monster.

“I will not risk my student and her friends Luna.” Celestia sternly stated.

“You did not mind at all when it was me and Discord.” Luna deadpanned at her sister pulling up times when she let her student into dangerous situations.

Her big sister turned to Luna with morn. “The reason for that is because I can’t use the elements anymore, or have you forgot that it requires both of us to represent them? I couldn’t save you because I don’t represent all the elements. As for Discord, he was a step ahead and wasn’t interested in killing and loves to have fun.” Celestia said, pointing out both reasons she couldn’t do it and ones that showed how the elements were relatively safe.

“So what are you going to do sister, fight her yourself?” Luna says with a huff as she thought that the elements would be a much quicker solution.

“Bring in outside help.” Celestia says as Luna look at her sister as if she lost her mind.

“Outside help!? From where! From whom!? No warrior of Equestria past nor present would risk their life for this!” Luna cried, only to huff and pinch the bridge of her nose. “Who?” She asked, her eyes still closed and her breathing erratic.

“I’m not talking about in Equis, I mean from another world.”

This got Luna to open her eyelids in record time. “Dost thou have such influence and reach?”

“Sister, you were the one who found the book that lets us do so remember? ‘Summoning Methods of Myths and Misplace’,” Celestia said, smiling gently to her sister.

“We di-” Luna shook her head, wracking her brains for the information she failed to recall. “I DID!? When? How!?” A light bulb went off in her head, she popped out of and popped back into the room. A heavy tome was held in her mystical grasp, a smile upon her muzzle. “Yes… we did didn’t we?”

The lunar princess began tearing through the book, before stopping on a page and raising an eyebrow.

“Sister what is the name of the creature we’re trying to capture?” Luna says as she continues to stare at the page in the book.

“Chara Dreemurr.” Celestia stated simply.

“Well sister it seems like Chara dreemurr is in this book, along with her sibling Asriel dreemurr…” Luna said that she began to read the page tears starting to prick at the sides of her eyes as she read what Chara did for her family and then what this ‘player’ forced her to become after forcing her to watch as it killed all of her family.

“By the goddess… what have I done? Is there any way to reach out to them?” Celestia pleaded.

“We could try to summon their sibling. It says here in an alternate timeline dubbed glitchtale Asriel is brought back to life!” Luna says as she points to the other page.

“Asriel? Why do they look so drastically different?” Celestia asked with a tilt of her head.

“It says that Chara was adopted after they...oh my goddess!” Luna says that's her face contorts in rage and sadness at what she read.

Celestia found a problem in calling upon a potentially worse problem than what they already had with Chara, however they did at least want to extend an olive branch so to speak. “Would calling upon this Asriel be so wise?”

“From what I have read he would be a great assistance in trying to talk to Chara, she would never hurt her sibling unless she was forced to…” Luna says still glaring daggers at the page that describes Charas past before she went to the underground.

“Alright… but we should at the very least consider a “Plan B”.” Luna nodded her head up her sisters statement. Curiosity overtook Celestia however as she peered over the tear stained pages Luna had been so fixated on.

With a cold and unflinching stare, Celestia took the tome, closed it gently and gave it a single pat… before popping out of the room. The entirety of the castle having risen in temperature, even melting and killing some vases and potted plants. Guards all over the castle could be heard screaming “Code: Solar Storm”.

When she returned, she was covered head to hoof in blackened soot. Her mane waved about in a gray and dusty glory.

“Sister, are you alright?” Luna asked cautiously, the last time she had seen her sister this angry was when they had found Sombras “personal” dungeon full of foals

“Hmm?” Celestia turned to look at her sister, her eyes were pits of blazing infernos but her facial features were smooth and calm. “I feel fine.” Luna was worried as she felt the heat that was oppressive and would have killed her if it wasn't for the fact she was an Alicorn and connected to the Moon.

“If that is all, then I believe it is time to prepare the rites,” Celestia said as she began to walk away, her very hoofsteps causing the ground she walked upon to burn and melt. Luna gathered the materials that would be needed to summon the extremely powerful Asriel. Soon the two princesses stood on opposite sides of the ritual Circle with a branch of the tree of Harmony as a power source to summon the goat child through the void.

Thankfully, Celestia had regained her composure before they began. “Well, here's hoping we make a good first impression.”

“Indeed sister…” Luna said hoping that they could save ‘Chara’ from herself.

The summoning circle was drawn, runes were inscribed unto precious stones, and the branch was charged. Turning to Asriel’s page within the book, the sisters began to chant in the dead and long forgotten tongue of their ancestors.

The room began to twist and turn, fires of ethereal blue bloomed and died in mere instances. Lightning raced along the air as it froze anything along its path… and finally, as the world seemed to be able to take no more punishment, a rift had begun to spiral into life within the circle.

Within, a tiny goat like child had been tossed upwards from the rift… only to fall flat upon his face once the rift was closed.

“Sweet Christ on a pogo stick… that's the last time I go on a bender at two A.M.” The goat child says, making Celestia and Luna look at each other wordly.

The small child pulled back, stretching his his face as it popped off of the ground. With a rather cartoonish shake, he started to gather his bearings. “Oof, hangover…” His eyes widened as he looked at his hands. “Serious hangover.”

“I do suppose that is to be expected, given you are still too young for this child.” Celestia said giving a motherly yet disappointed look.

The child looked up at the princess of the sun, his eyes threatening to pop through their sockets. “Okay… I told them not to slip me any acid. They fluffing did it an-” He immediately shut his mouth. He opened it again. “Shuckle.” He slapped his muzzle with his palms. “Gum chewing funk monster!”

This went on, much to the growing concern of those present for a minute straight. “WHY CAN’T I SWEAR!?” He yelled as he began to roll upon the floor.

“...Sister I do believe we have messed up the ritual…” Luna says as she turns to her sister a look of concern on her face.

This piqued the interest of the child. “Ritual? What ritual? Wait… no. Don’t tell me. This is a dream. A fever dream brought on by a liter of booze and delirium…” He stood up and began to pace back and forth as if in thought.

“Okay… if this is a dream… I want you two to turn into smoking hot genies!” He faced the diarchs, palms out and legs wide… as if he expected something to happen.

“Yes, I do believe the summoning ritual was botched Luna…” Celestia says once again giving the disappointed parent look.

“This isn’t a dream, is it?” The goat child asked of the diarchs. The two slowly shook their heads in confirmation.

“You’re really a pair of talking horses.” More nods of confirmation. The child blinked, and held out his hand. “May I see the spell you used for the summoning?”

Luna pulled out the ritual notes that they had written down. It showed how they used a branch of the tree of Harmony as a power source and how they wanted to summon the sibling of Chara dreemurr… Asriel.

“This… you chanted in time and everything? Made sure to pronounce the words correctly?” He asked as he looked over the chant again. “Klaatu Barada Nikto?” He asked in disbelief.

“It says ‘Nikto’?” The lunar princess asked.

Palm met face immediately as ‘Asriel’ began to grumble something about Evil Dead. “You said ‘Nokto’, didn’t you?” the Lunar princess blushed and nodded her head.

“This snozzberry is exactly why you rehearse your fraggled chants BEFOREHAND!!”

“There's no need to yell, Asriel. Everypony makes mistakes.” Celestia says chastising Asriel.

“I’m sorry, I’m not the one who played “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” across space and time! I could have died!” Asriel exclaimed in frantic fear as he waved his arms up and down at high velocity. “Worse yet, I’m not ‘Asriel’, I’m some schmuck trapped in his body!!”

“Then who are you ‘asriel’?” Luna asked hoping they didn't summon someone with something worse than Chara.

“If you must know,” He began to stand atop his tippy toes for a brief second, his hands behind his back and his eyes closed. “I’m a cook. A darn good one at that!” He began to happily list the several dishes and pastries he’s ever prepared in his career, even salivating at points.

He suddenly paused however. “Though I can’t shake this nagging feeling that I’m forgetting something… something important that’s just on the tip of my tongue.” He began to stroke a tuft of fur on his chin in contemplative thought. “Eh, I’m sure it’ll come to me.”

“But what is your name.” Luna said with a deadpan.

‘Asriel’ lifted a finger and opened his mouth… only to close it and drop his finger. He pouted, raised his finger higher into the air and opened his mouth wider… only to reel himself back in. “I’m sorry, I can’t remember…” Celestia hugged the little goat child. He moved his right hand up to her neck and began to stroke it, his eyes an endless haze.

“I’d like to go back now… I have work in the morning.” His voice began to crack as his head was buried deeper into Celestia’s coat.

“We don't know how to send you back…” Luna said as she looked at the child in sorrow.

The haze in his eyes went dark. “Oh. That’s… that’s not good. Is it?” He blinked, and the color seemed to return to his eyes. “Welp, I’m stuck in a world I know nothing about. In a body not my own and at the mercy of two incompetent summoners. What do you need done?” He gave Celestia two good pats as she let go.

“We need help with Chara Dreemurr.” Celestia says showing the legend and what she has done so far.

Taking the documents, Asriel materialized a pair of glasses from seemingly nowhere as he carefully read through what was given. “Uh huh… you want me to deal with THAT!?” he exclaimed with worry.

“We will help you master your powers before you face her,” Luna says with a nod.

Asriel’s eyes began to shine like stars. “I have powers!? Wait, of course I have powers!” He exclaimed joyfully… only to lose himself to confusion. “How do I have powers?”

They showed his page in the book of Legends to him. He scanned the page intently, taking in every detail given to him. “Huh, I guess he lives up to his name…” Asriel said absent mindedly. “Okay, I’ll bite. I can be your Asriel,” He said, and with that they started his training.
