But other than that it is completely original charecters and story. Prologue:The Vision It was very dark out and very late. Bout 6:00. Sunset Shimmer was only walking home from a late school project she had to finish when she saw what appeared to be a rainbow comet about two feet wide falling from orbit. It was even creating a rainbow trail. It crashed several yards away from her, leaving a large crater in the sidewalk. She was curious and walked into the crater Sunset was shocked to see it was not a comet or meteor, but a golden orb shaped container, with a diameter of 4 feet, and it landed 6 feet in front of her. "Hmm, should I?" Sunset asked herself, pangs of curiosity sparking in her, as she contemplated whether or not to get a closer look. Maybe even take it home and study it. But just when she decided to leave it (whatever "it" is) she heard an elder female voice speak. "Come closer, Sunset Shimmer. I don't bite." The voice said. Sunset was shocked by the fact that whatever or whoever it is it, knew her somehow. "Um, hi." Sunset said slightly nervous at the speaking orb, she had a million questions, but she went with what seemed most important right now. "Um, if you don't mind me asking. Who or what are you? " The voice took no offense, at least none that sunset could tell. I mean, it's a disembodied voice coming from a mysterious orb. "Allow me to tell you a story." The voice said simply. "The story of what?" asked Sunset nervously. "Mine, and my world's." The voice answered. "Alright." Sunset allowed hearing no harmful intent in the voice. "What do I do?" "You are an empath and telepath correct?" The voice asked. "Ummm, Yes?" Sunset answered nervously. "Then touch the outside of the container. And see my life." The voice instructed. When Sunset touched the container she could feel more magic than she ever thought possible from such a small container. "My name was Necarina, and, I was once the most loved and renowned prophet to the most powerful Gods in the multiverse, Nebulass, the God of Light, and his elder brother, Nebulon, the God of Darkness, and Their story overlaps with my story, and my story is quite tragic. My world was torn by war. Nebulass's twin brother, the once kind and loving God of darkness, Nebulon wished for his brother's power to take over my world, it was named Cinnigara." Sunset Shimmer was amazed by all this knowledge, power, and wisdom the female prophet's spirit held and was sharing with her, but yet Sunset had a question buzzing in her mind, and if she didn't ask it, she would regret it. She opened her mouth to ask when the prophet answered for her. "You and your friends are the subjects of my most known, feared, and loved prophecy: the Prophecy of the Seven, and it has yet to pass, but my multiversal travels have weekend my spirit and I'm dying and I haven't long. Just know you and your friends are destined for great things." And with those words sunset could see it. The spirit told her it was called Cinnigara, but how the spirit said it was Sin/a/gar/a. When sunset saw it she knew instantly that It was what many thought to be heaven. Sunset could see a beautiful gold-haired woman she somehow knew was Necarina being dubbed royal prophet by the two divine-looking brothers. She then saw a bloody war, of angels, speedsters, wizards, humans, and demons. A battlefield littered with bodies. Red, gold, and black puddles riddled the field. Fires and craters littering it. She was taken into some sort of heavenly palace. And she then saw the two brothers dueling and a pearl white pitch black orb on a wooden display in some sort of treasure room-cum-library that would make both Twilights squeal in delight. Then two brothers dueling. One in black robes, one in gold. Then the black-robed one said: "The power of the Pandorax orb belonged to father Dakar, thus it belongs to me!" And as the brothers dueled, the orb shattered in the process and the shattered orb's energy created the Big Bang, destroying Cinnigara and creating the multiverse. It was too far fetched to be true yet somehow in the back of Sunset's mind, she knew it was. When the vision ended so did the prophet, and with her, any chance for further answers. The comet disappeared with the crater Sunset was shocked, but decided to go home and sleep on it to think the whole thing over and try to comprehend it. In the end, she decided she was gonna ask Sci-Twi. Yet the girl was not alone. Two winged scout demons were watching her, they both had Hellish black skin and bat-like wings. They wore black armor with spikes on the shoulder pads. The veteran had blood painted on the torso and a crystal black scabbard with a sword in it. After a minute the younger one, the rookie, spoke. "What are we gonna tell lord Nebulon about his royal prophet?" He asked. "The truth." The veteran said. "But we'll go back to Tartarus!" The rookie cried in fear of Hades. "Not, If we kill the Seventh warrior destined to defeat him." The elder demon planned. "Evil." The rookie agreed as he bared his fangs and claws. They flew after her, stalking for the kill. Following Sunset the best they could. But before they could strike they heard a booming, commanding voice cast a powerful spell. "NECRIO CINNIGARA LAVALUKE!" A golden ray of pure light knocked the two demons into a rooftop next to sugar cub corner. "Nebulass!" The demon elder snarled. A figure clad in golden-white armor floated toward them with a golden bastard sword drawn. "You and your kin are more than aware that the Seventh and her friends are under my protection," The God warned the demons. "Oh we know but we thought too, uh, make ourselves known to her." The younger demon quipped at the Lord of Light "I'll destroy you If you touch them" the God bellowed. The younger demon charged and surprised the Golde deity with his skill. But the rookie left his guard down and allowed Nebulass to cut out his liver and cut off his head. The body evaporated and was blown away in the wind. "Bloody death. I wasn't expecting the God of Light to enjoy gore, but then again, teenagers, go figure," The elder demon said in surprise, slightly impressed. Nebulass said nothing, he only readied his blade. The demon was amused by this. "Heh, heh, heh you really wish this? I've destroyed thousands of your Freedom Fighters with this blade." The demon boasted as he drew a gnarley, jagged, jet black sword. "Dark blades don't faze me, demon," The God said as he charged. They dueled. A jab. A block. A slice. Yet as they got ready to clash, down below Octavia and Vinyl scratch were watching with interest as they were in front of Sugar cube corner. All as Vinyl got it all on her phone. "Are you seeing this Octavia?" Vinyl asked her cellist friend. It took her a minute to respond. "Seeing, but still working on believing." The classical musician said in awe. Meanwhile back at the fight. The two warriors charged. Blades swiped. They each had skill able to match the greatest fighters in the multiverse. But in the end the demon fell to the God of light. Now only a mangled body on the rooftop. Entrails and organs exposed Hell-fire red blood in a puddle. "Well, that was....fun," The God said before the body vaporized and he flew off into the night. "Please tell me you filmed that," Octavia said to her best friend. "Because the school needs to see that." Vinyl looked at her friend like that was the dumbest query in the multiverse while looking at Octavia as taking her shades to her nose, revealing magenta eyes. "Oh, heck yes I got that Octavia. Recorded and posted. I'd never miss a chance like that. I mean we got a superhero here Canterlot!" The DJ cheered. "Hmm. I wonder who those other guys were though." Octavia wondered. "They looked....." The cellist paused. "Like what, Octavia?" Vinyl asked, eager for the rest. "Like demons my friend." Octavia finished. "Heh, heh, you scared me, Octavia. Everybody knows demons aren't real." Vinyl scratch laughed. "Oh, really? Remember the fall formal?" Octavia asked smugly. "You got me there, but full-blown nether-beasts? I mean, who do we ask about this? We've got no defense from this sort of thing." The young DJ complained in fear. "Oh, but we do, the Girls are our defense." The cellist pointed out. Seeing her friend's point the DJ finally said."Well, then what are we waiting for." They walked home, eager to tell everyone at school about their night as Vinyl posted the video. //-------------------------------------------------------// The new kid //-------------------------------------------------------// The new kid "Whoa. "The girls said in awe as Sunset Shimmer concluded telling them about their night. "Whoa is right but, this video Vinyl Scratch recorded shocks me," Sunset said after pulling up the link for the video. "I mean, this gold guy in the video looks exactly like one of the two brothers in my vision." "I'm more fascinated with the fact the entire multiverse is an accident, as is the entire human race's existence," Twilight said in sadness, but interest in how this works. "What did the orb look like?" Velvet Breeze, an ex-Assassin, asked. "Because it sort of reminds me of the Apple Sombra used." The young ex-Assassin said with a worried interest in her voice. "I'm wondering if it might have some sort of link or connection." Twilight was dumbfounded by this comment. "Wait, who in the name of pi is this 'Sombra'?" Twilight asked. "A really bad dude who almost killed us all and tried to take over Equestria during last year's exams, Twilight." Rainbow Dash told their friend. "But we kicked his can." "Oh, that's scary and weird, well I'm glad he's dead," Twilight said a little less dumbfounded. "Pearl white mixed with pitch black," Sunset said answering Velvet's question. "It was about the size of the apple though, but the really scary part is the Big Bang originated from the orb. Which means it can do much more than mind control. When it was shattered it created the multiverse." "Anything else you can remember from the vision, darling." Rarity said while she finished filing her nails. "A name for this orb perhaps?" "The only phrase I heard name wise was 'Pandorax orb', but that might be it," Sunset told her friend. "Wow, this is quite the Big Bang Theory, isn't it Girls?" Pinkie asked. But as she said the word "Pandorax" the loud noise of multiple books dropping was heard from outside the music room. When the girls went outside they saw principle Celestia and a new teacher helping each other pick up the other's books. "So, sorry," The elder one said. "I'm such a bumbler." He had a long beard, blue robes and pointed hat with several bells on it. for some reason, he reminded Sunset of someone she saw in Princess Celestia's older books. "It's alright Star Swirl," Celestia said shocking Sunset a little. "I myself wasn't paying attention." The old man known as Star swirl smiled to console Celestia and tell her it is alright. Picking themselves up, they said "good day" to each other and walked off in different directions. "Weird, very weird." Velvet breeze said. "Very, because I think that was the human Star Swirl the bearded," Sunset guessed. Later that day on the PA Sunset Shimmer was called down to meet a new kid and give him a tour, yet he was very strange. There weren't any definitive details, but go just gave off this Strange Vibe, like when Sunset went to shake his hand, he reflexively stopped her, even though he said sorry. He was still strange. "And that's the music room," Sunset said as she and the new kid finished the tour "So, how do you like CHS?" He had sea-green eyes, dirty blonde hair that looked like it wasn't well kept. His face had pimples here and there. But what was strangest to Sunset was his skin. It was a dull normal human white, he was wearing blue sneakers and jeans and a green polo, he had a brown leather belt with a golden buckle, his watch was a golden white analog, yet it seemed magical for some reason. When he spoke it sounded like his age was no older than thirteen, but it had seasoned wisdom to it. "It's great, like a dream come true, CHS seems really....magical, but I'm curious about that statue base in the courtyard I saw coming in. What happened to it?" He asked, getting to the point. He asks the right questions, Sunset wasn't sure what to say, she was at a loss for words, but when she heard Rainbow dash speak, she felt better. "Who wants to know?" Rainbow asked walking up to the two with the Girls. When the girls came over the new kid first looked shocked like a dream just came true, then he calmed down and answered. "Marc, Marc Wayne Kurtzman." He said calmly while extending his hand for the girls to shake. And at this gesture Pinkie leaped forward and shook it vigorously. "Hi, I'm... " Before she could finish Marc did for her. "Pinkie Pie." Marc guessed. "And your Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle AKA Sci-Twi, Fluttershy, Sunset Shimmer, and Velvet Breeze." He pointed to each one as he said their names, and as Marc said them the girls looked extremely dumbfounded and shocked. "We never told ya our names sugar cube so, how in the hay do ya them?" Applejack asked. "Eh, just a hunch," Marc said shrugging it off. "Hey, that's my line when I say something random and out of the blue that's somehow spot on." Pinkie complained. "Anyway back to my last question, what happened to the Wonder Colt statue?" Marc asked again. "Did some sort of magical monster blast it?" "No, just age caught up with it and it crumbled during the last event of the Friendship Games while Crystal Prep tried to pull a prank on it." Twilight lied while adjusting her glasses. "That all you wanna know about CHS, Marc?" "Hm, for now, yes." He answered mysteriously shifting from his cheerful tone. "Well Sunset Shimmer, thank you for the tour and a chance to meet your friends. Oh, and Velvet Breeze was it, does the phrase 'nothing is true, everything is permitted' mean anything to you?" He asked smirking at her slightly shocked face. To Marc's eyes, he could see, for a split second, the eyes of Eagle Vision glaring thru him through this teenage girl. No doubt she was seeing if the new kid was Friend or Foe. When Velvet saw gold, not red, on Marc she stopped. "It does mean something to me." Velvet answered smoothly and vaguely as possible. "But, what pray tell does it mean to you, Marc?" Marc's phone chimed with a text alert, Marc took a minute to see what text he got. After reading it he went back to the conversation at hand. At this question, Marc had no immediate counter, but after a minute he finally said. "It just means that if someone follows that code or Creed shall I say? I can trust them." He answered equally smoothly and calmly activating his own Eagle Vision. When he saw blue on her he finally said. "I bid all you good day." And walked off toward Celestia's office. After a minute or so, everyone thought over what just happened. Finally, after the minute Velvet thought aloud. "Strange, he asked the right questions. And how in the hell did he know my Creed?" Velvet mused aloud. "So, I assume we're going to follow him?" Rarity asked saying what they all were thinking. And much to her dismay, they walked after him. //-------------------------------------------------------// Marc's secret skill //-------------------------------------------------------// Marc's secret skill As the girls walked down the hall following Marc they noticed him go into Celestia's office, wondering why he went in there, they sneaked to the door and listened closely. He locked the door behind him and the girls heard Him say: "Report agent Day, what is that you have that's so important that I can't get to know the Seven warriors?" Marc asked extremely, deeply, truly annoyed. "Sorry, Head of Council, but our spy in Crystal prep just called in. He just verified the rumor, it seems the enemy also has a sleeper there as well." Celestia reported from behind the door. "Do we know her name, or why Nebulon sent a spy to CPA?" Marc asked, keeping to the point. Celestia shook her head. "We only know she's a new student, we don't know the details, yet agent Shadow does and is following protocol," Celestia said. "Tell agent Shadow to look into why she is in CPA," Marc ordered as Celestia nodded. "Anything else?" "Yes, it seems CPA wants a rematch of the Friendship Games," Celestia said. "No doubt the work of the new student/sleeper agent." "I assume agent Change and agent Frigid want to meet in light of this news? " Marc asked. "6:00. Sugar cube corner. They'll brief you on the rest." Celestia said. "Good day, Marc." "Good day, Celestia and may the Light guide you," Marc replied. He went to unlock the door and the girls broke into a run in down the hallway, and round a corner, but turned their heads around it to watch what was gonna happen next. They saw Marc leave the office with a silver laptop in his arms with the Assassin logo on it. When Velvet saw the all too familiar laptop she went after Marc. "No, Velvet, Don't!" The girls whisper-yelled after their friend but she ignored her friends. If there's even a chance that Marc stole that laptop she has to get it back from Marc and see what new secrets are downloaded on it. She sprinted after Marc now a left round one corner. A right round another. He's heading for the front entrance. 'First mistake' Velvet thought, she could take care of Marc there without any witnesses. Then, Marc caught on to Velvet following him somehow and broke into a run, she attempted to copy him, and follow him exactly as he ran, yet it was strangely difficult. Whoever Marc really is, he is skilled. When she exited onto the courtyard with wrist blade drawn on her left hand. Knife in her right. Fully ready for a death battle, one where she wins. As she neared the what's left of the Wonder Colt statue, she felt a strange breeze tickle down her spine. She suddenly felt cold which was quite strange because of the fact that she's wearing two jackets, one from Sunset Shimmer, and the other was a trademark Assassin brotherhood white jacket with a red scarf tied around her waist. Then just as suddenly as her chill, the laptop was at her feet. She was surprised to see it there at her feet. Naturally, at first, she was skeptical. 'No doubt it's a bomb.' She thought at first. She used her eagle vision to look for an explosive of, yet she found none. Then suddenly she heard a wrist blade out unfurl from under a sleeve. And just as sudden as death itself young Velvet Breeze was as defenseless as a civilian. A wrist blade to her liver, and a pen to her neck. ‘Wow, deja vu.’ She thought at the pen trick. Then she heard the voice of her captor speak. "Now, now, young ex-Assassin, I don't know what you wish to accomplish by killing me." Velvet Breeze was surprised, confused, and a little bit impressed by the fact that the one skillful enough to successfully take an ex-Assassin like her hostage was none other than the cryptic new kid, Marc Wayne Kurtzman. "But, let me tell you that those more skillful, and more dangerous than you have tried. And let me tell you, and that did NOT end well......for them." "More dangerous than me? who?" Velvet asked faking offense. "Wolfgang, Templars, Ebony wings, Changeling spies, speed gods, demons," Marc answered flatly. "Ebony Wings? As in the actress that plays Daring Do?" Velvet asked trying to distract him. "She's secretly Queen Chrysalis of earth, and personally I prefer Indiana Jones to Daring Do, but the point is I've Killed people more kick-butt than you, young ex-Assassin, minus Ebony." "If you're such a good fighter why don't you kill me? Keep your secret?" Velvet asked, this time a little afraid. "Because I already told you this, I trust members of the Brotherhood, and followers of the Creed, and thus, I trust you. At least enough to give you back your laptop." Marc told Velvet. "Now, I already downloaded all the files on that computer onto my mobile phone, but you can look through the laptop if you wish. Everything and more is still on it, but my more, sensitive secrets, are hyper encrypted in ways only I can solve, everything else is yours to read though, now I have somewhere to be." And with those words, he neck pinched Velvet, but conveyed three psychic messages: Nebulass, Nebulon, and Pandorax and ran off just as the Mane 7 came to check on Velvet. "Is she.....?" Fluttershy began to ask as Twilight checked her pulse and Sunset used her telepathy to see what happened here. "Alive, she's alive," Twilight said with a breath of relief taking a sweat build up off her forehead. "I can't believe it. I just can't." Sunset said in shock at what she saw. "What is it, darling?" Rarity asked in concern for her friend. "It was Marc, Marc did this," Sunset said to her friends. Disbelief struck the six other girls. As Velvet came round she spoke. "It's true, he gave me back the laptop, but not without knocking me out." Velvet explained. The girls were a little startled at the sound of her voice but, relieved she was alright. "The weird part is when he nerve-pinched me I could see a grand heavenly world and in my mind, I could hear a few words," Velvet continued. "And what were these words ya heard, sugar cube?" Applejack asked. "Three, uh, Pandorax, Nebulon, and Nebulass." Velvet told the girls. "But I haven't the foggiest of what they mean." "Nebulon and Nebulass are the names of the two gods in my vision," Sunset said. "But I don't know what Pandorax is, aside from the orb, but that's it." "Perhaps I can answer that." Said a voice behind them. When the girls turned around, they saw vice principle Luna standing in front of the statue. Yet this Luna was different for some reason. Her hair was very flowing and bright. she wore a great, flowing dark blue gown. Yet what really caught Sunset's eyes was the dark silver tiara Luna was wearing. Then, it hit Sunset like a frying pan, and almost as if it was a reflex, Sunset bowed in front of this Luna. "Princess Luna welcome to Earth," Sunset said still bowing. Then as the others realized what is happening, they bowed as well. Repeating Sunset's welcome. "There is no real need to bow, my friends." Princess Luna reassured them "On Earth, I'm not an official Princess, may I remind you." "If you don't mind my asking ya," Applejack began, getting up and getting back to the matter at hand. "But what are ya doin' on earth, and ya know what this 'Pandorax' is?" "Indeed, Pandorax is an ancient magical skill, art, spell, and discipline that requires, the perfect harmony of light and darkness to even access," Luna answered. "Very few people in the multiverse can use it fully without killing themselves, and as for why I'm on earth, well that's my business." "Why does it kill people, Princess Luna?" Fluttershy asked, slightly more scared than usual. "Because any mere mortal that uses it will be destroyed by its vast power, young Fluttershy," Luna answered. "But that's all I really know, Yang, a friend of mine, is the real expert on it don't know how or why though. Anyway, I must make my leave. I must raise the moon later. Goodbye girls." And with that Luna was gone leaving the girls with more questions than answers. "What do we do now, ah mean This 'Yang' has the answers, but we don't know who he is." Applejack said. "I wonder if Marc might know." Twilight guessed. "What do we do then if he knows?" Velvet asked, "He's as sealed as a Templar vault in Trottingham." Then Pinkie pie's hand shot up into the air, and everyone in unison said: "Yes, Pinkie." "The answer is obvious girls, we have a slumber party at AJ's house, then either he'll feel so welcome he tells us everything. Or while he's asleep, Sunset can use her telepathy and find out the answers in his thoughts anyway." Pinkie said. "That's actually......a good plan, Pinkie Pie." Velvet Breeze complemented Pinkie. "And I'll come to in case you girls need help." And with that, they each went home to grab their things for the party tonight. "7:00 on the dot girls, don't be late" Pinkie yelled as she was texting the same message to Marc. It was about 6:00 when Marc got Pinkie's invite. 'Same old Pinkie Pie, always planning silly, fun parties.' He thought to himself as he sat down at the table where Ivory Wings said to meet her and Frigid Night. Five minutes passed and still no Ivory Wings nor Frigid Night. 'Not very punctual agents. Are they?' Marc thought as he finished his peanut butter chocolate milkshake. A few more minutes later Ivory Wings and Frigid Night walked through the doors. "You're a little late agents." Marc began sternly. "But lateness aside, report." "It seems we got a name from agent Shadow, that's why we're late, Marc." Ivory Wings said. "That and a few Blighters tried to get us, but nothing we could not handle." Frigid Night said. "What's the name of the sleeper?" Marc asked. "A false name, Crystal List, we believe." Frigid Night said. "Ivory says Crystal List smells familiar." "She does. She smells like another Changeling, my sister mainly." Ivory Wings reported. "Alright, this is good, very good. Go into the shadows and wait for my signal, oh, and Psithyra, come by Sweet Apple Acres later in the guise of Mirror Match, I might need you later." Marc ordered knowing that his enemy will send their latest card to kill him or the Seven. "Clear?" Ivory wings and Frigid Night nodded knowing what to do. "Good, now if you'll excuse me I have a slumber party to get to," Marc said as he paid the check and began to leave. But then he looked at Psithyra and said: "Psythyra, The time of the Prophecy is nigh.." Then Marc left leaving a shocked Ivory. "Thy?" Frigid asked. "What is it." "Marc just spoke in fluent Cinnigaran, but he simply said that the time of prophecy is nigh." "May Nebulass help us," Frigid said scared of what it means. "I think he just might," Ivory said grinning because she knew the truth that Marc told her centuries ago. Author's Note So it seems Frigid night is alive and well. Marc is skilled enough to kill a fully seasoned Assassin without breaking a sweat. Who is Marc really? What is Pandorax? What does princess Luna and Principle Celestia have to do with this Mystery and how do they know Marc? And what are Psithyra's true motives? Find out as the plot thickens //-------------------------------------------------------// The slumber party //-------------------------------------------------------// The slumber party As Marc was walking to AppleJack's house he kept pondering. 'Why is he making a move now. why is their spy in CPA, and what does he have to gain from this?' He thought to himself. These questions would have to wait until tomorrow because he was finally at AJ's house ready to party. Ready to play along with the girl's attempt to find out truths they shouldn't even know of. As he walked toward the front door, he took in his surroundings, planning a possible escape or pursuit routes should a battle ensue. Next, he used his Eagle Vision to look for traps and threats the enemy might have laid. Next, he used his hyperactive telepathy to sense threat his Eagle Vision could not. When he saw, and sensed, no threats, he finally knocked on the farm house's door. When it opened Marc saw standing in front of him was a teenager of age 17, he had red skin, orange hair, and green eyes. "Big Macintosh I presume?" Marc asked although he knew the answer was yes. "Ya 'presumed' right, you must be Marc, come on in the girls and other guests already inside and Granny Smith is cooking some supper." Big Mac said in a southern accent. "Other guests?" Marc repeated as he walked in the living room. In there he saw two other women in the living room, Kelia and Morning Blade sitting on the couch as Velvet Breeze finished her report to the two ex-Assassins. "Whoa." Morning Blade said when Velvet finished telling the girls about what happened earlier. "Whoa, what?" Marc said. "Nothing of your concern, Kurtzman," Kelia told Marc threateningly. It was obvious to Marc that Kelia did not like him. "Jeez, Kelia it was just a query, nothing more," Marc said in defense, surprising the ex Assassin. Then Marc's eyes found themselves looking at Morning Blade's katana. "I love a good sword, don't you, young Morning Blade?" Marc asked trying to change the still atmosphere. "Yeah, I guess a good Blade is nice." Morning answered unsurely. Marc was staring daggers at the two ex-Assassins, trying to see a friend from foe. After that, he put two fingers on his forehead peering through Kelia and Morning Blade's minds, prying loose whatever secrets he can. After a full two minutes, Marc finally spoke knowing he can trust them he took his fingers off his temple and into his pocket. "Morning Blade, no offense, but how did you get that eye patch?" Marc asked shocking her slightly, "Because, with your hair, sword, and eye patch, you look a little bit like Rose Wilson from DC comics." "Uh, mugging in my home town, Trottingham." Morning Blade lied. Marc didn't answer. He just stared. Later they all sat down at the dinner table to eat, Rainboom and ex-Assassin alike. The air was still stiff, Marc had aroused much fear. Then, desperate to get his job done, Marc stood up and raised his glass of Apple family cider and began to toast. "A toast to a great and timeless friendship in blossom," Marc said, hoping to lighten the still atmosphere again. "Friendship is a fickle thing, it is a light in our darkest hour, the thing that keeps us going. So, to friendship." Every one kept exchanging glances at his words. Until Pinkie raised her glass in agreement. Soon they all followed repeating Pinkie Pie's movement, although still unsure about him. But their dinner was not going unwatched. In a nearby Apple tree, a man in red armor, with a white mask with a red visor in his right eye socket was putting together a sniper rifle, ready to fire. As Marc was about to sit down in his chair when he heard a faint, unmistakable sound. "Gunshot! GET DOWN!" Marc yelled in fear. Everyone was thrown back as the bullet hit the table, scaring Granny Smith and Big Mac half to death, missing Marc by inches and bouncing onto the floor, all while Marc fell to the side. Marc picked up the bullet. "The shooter's getting away!" Kelia yelled as she, Morning Blade, and Velvet Breeze ran to the window. Marc saw the bullet and he knew who's it was and it shocked him to his core. He got up off the floor and then turned to the three ex-Assassins and spoke. "Ex-Assassins I want the shooter alive and don't ask why or how I know who you three really are. Just get him!" Marc ordered. The ex-Assassins said nothing, they only nodded in agreement and went after the shooter. "Why do you wanna take the shooter prisoner, Marc?" Twilight asked, "Why not let the Assassins do what they do best, even though I don't like it, it just means we won't see him again." "Because the shooter is the man who never misses, DC comic's Dead Shot," Marc said much to Fluttershy's worry at the sound of the name. "And the scary part is he shouldn't even exist in our dimensional plane." When Marc said that everyone was very confused and scared even more. Velvet Breeze, Morning Blade, and Kelia jumped out the open window and ran after Dead shot. "He NEVER misses, how is that even possible?!" Morning Blade asked in shock as she heard what Marc said about Dead shot. "Only fully seasoned Assassins has that kind of skill." "You sure about that, eye patch?" A voice yelled from deep in the trees. "Cause I never miss a shot unless I wanna." To prove his point he fired three bounce rounds off the trees while moving to a new one. The shots narrowly missed the three Assassins by inches. "See what I mean? Only when I wanna." "Come on, keep talking so I can find you, you boasting bozo sharpshooter." Velvet Breeze said as she used her Eagle Vision to find him. She nodded to Morning Blade and Kelia to do the same. They followed her actions and activated their Eagle Vision as well. After a full minute of warning shots and looking into the darkness, Kelia tapped her comrade's shoulders and pointed to the tree 3 yards in front of them. Morning readied her blade and stepped silently as Kelia saw what she was doing she went the other direction to help while Velvet kept distracting the sharpshooter. "So, back there when Marc told us all to duck and you missed, was that deliberate too?" Velvet quipped, all while getting under the sharpshooter's skin. "I'll admit when these guys told me not to underestimate this kid, I didn't expect him to hear a silenced gunshot." Dead shot said slightly shocking he Assassins with his words. "But that could explain why they want a kid dead." "Silenced gunshot, he heard a silent gunshot?!" Morning asked in shock giving away her location to the sharpshooter. Which to her credit was still out in the open. She mentally cursed herself for the mistake. He jumped from behind his tree and fired 4 shots at Morning Blade's arm and one off a tree. As expected Morning deflected the first four with her katana, but she was hit in her right forearm by the bouncer bullet, and she dropped her sword and knelt on the ground in pain, holding her wounded arm. Dead Shot then walked over to her and pointed his left wrist gun at her head and said "I don't usually kill girls or kids, but I already made one exception tonight. What's another to me?" "Hey, Floyd!" A familiar female voice said, "Don't try it!" Everyone was shocked to see Mirror Match standing on an Apple tree with her sidearm pistol aimed at Dead shot's head. "Mirror Match! this isn't your kill, witch!" Dead shot warned her, remembering her from his time in Manehatten. Mirror Match laughed at this. "You really think I'm here to kill my former sisters, or Kurtzman or, even the Seven?" Mirror asked. When she said 'the Seven' the truth dawned on Dead Shot. "Your a Freedom Fighter agent, aren't you?" The sharpshooter asked. Mirror Match only nodded at this. Then Dead Shot shot at her, but then she teleported behind him and kicked him in the leg and vanished again as Dead Shot turned to shoot her. "Changelings, always sneaky" Dead shot mused. "Guilty as charged." Mirror Match admitted from the woods. "But we need to be to survive." Then footsteps were heard and Dead shot turned ready to kill, but he stopped in his tracks when he saw his Daughter. He softened his tone and took off his mask to face her. "Zoe, what are you doing here?" he asked. "One minute I'm in Blüdhaven doing homework, next a green flame sparked round me and next thing I knew, I was here," Zoe said. "You shouldn't have my daughter into this, witch!" Dead Shot yelled in anger, but all he got was silence. "Here me! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BROUGHT MY DAUGHTER INTO THIS!!" Dead Shot screamed. But then everyone was shocked to here Mirror's voice come from his daughter speak. "I didn't," Zoe said in Mirror Match's voice. Then a green flame flurried round Dead Shot's daughter for a few seconds, but after the flame died Mirror Match stood where Dead shot's daughter did. Dead shot tried to shoot Mirror Match, but Mirror was too fast for him and did several punches and palm strikes, each one to quick for Dead Shot to counter. In the end, Mirror defeated him and said "I may have the skill of one, but I'm no Templar. I don't kidnap kids as a distraction." They all returned to the house to question Dead Shot and to see the seemingly reformed Mirror Match. "Mirror Match, are you really no longer a villain?" Kelia asked in disbelief. "Indeed, I'm a Freedom Fighter agent now," Mirror said. "Freedom Fighter?" Fluttershy asked, "What's a Freedom Fighter." "Strangely enough, It's not that different than being an Assassin, Just that they know their stuff when it comes to magic, and they are much, much older then the Assassin's Creed and the Templar order combined." "Awesome, Mirror!" Rainbow Dash complemented. "Don't so quick to trust this witch, she kidnapped, principle Celestia." Morning Blade said in anger to the ex-Templar as Marc treated her wound. "WHAT!!" everyone asked in anger towards the Changeling. "I knew that Psithyra did that." Marc said as he put away the first aid kit, receiving another "What" from the girls and ex Assassins. "Wow, I know we meet up sometimes, but I had a feeling you didn't change much from when I first met you, 'Light Sparker'." Mirror Match said while snickering. "Well, you changed a lot since when I first met you 'Moon Tide'," Marc replied. "Wait, you two know each other?" Sunset asked confused. "We met each other in the Middle Ages, even though I'm from the present," Marc answered. "How?" Twilight asked in light of this news. "During the battle of Masyaf, when the explosion detonated, the resulting energy made a temporal rift. As for what I was doing there, I was exploring the castle, but when I saw the rift I was sucked through and sent to the past," Marc explained. "Whoa." Everyone said impressed. "And I befriended Moon Tide, but I'll tell you that story later. Alright?" Marc said. "What do you mean by the fact they know their stuff when it comes to magic, Mirror Match?" Sunset asked. "They are extremely skilled in magic, so skilled they gave me full Equestrian Changeling magic on earth," Mirror said. "And Equestrian magic isn't the only magic their skilled in. They pretty much make Star Swirl the Bearded look like a Kindergartener when it comes to their knowledge of magic, and seeing I worked with him, I know what I'm talking about. And when it comes to Freedom Fighter power with magic, well let's just say they make the Pieces of Equis look like mere trinkets." "Whoa." Everyone, but Marc said in unison. "Anyway I gotta question Lawton," Mirror said as she stood up and walked away. At the sound of that name, everyone asked "Who?" Seeing the girl's dumbfounded faces, Marc explained. "Floyd Lawton AKA Dead Shot," Marc answered. "The man who never misses." "Aaaaaaaah." Everyone said. About an hour past before Mirror came back. Marc was explaining to everyone how he knows who they are and where he's from. "Let me get this straight, your from another dimension?" Twilight asked in awe. "And there, our adventures and Princess Twilight's are a group of movies and a TV show?" Asked Sunset in shock. "And I, Kelia and Morning Blade are OCs in an Ebook Fanfic?" Velvet asked in dismay. "And the writer is a guy named a Bag of Plums?" "And the rift opened in your world's Masyaf castle, and about a year after LOF?" Twilight asked. "Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes," Marc answered. "That's how ya knew which name is which afore we told 'em to ya." Applejack said. "Yes," Marc said. "Seems you told the girls a bit about your self. Eh, Marc?" Mirror Match asked. 'Only what they needed to hear.' Marc said using his telepathy before saying aloud. "A bit yes." "How goes the interrogation with Lawton, Mirror Match?" Twilight asked. "Not well, that's actually why I came out here," Mirror answered. "I need Sunset's help." "Me?" Sunset asked, "Wouldn't you like the help of one of the ex-Assassins?" "No, I need you because of your Telepathic powers." Mirror Match explained. "Go ahead." Marc encouraged. "Alright, I'll help," Sunset said seeing Mirror's logic. And they walk off toward the garage. //-------------------------------------------------------// Questioning Dead shot //-------------------------------------------------------// Questioning Dead shot Mirror Match and Sunset Shimmer walked into Applejack's garage, which Mirror Match turned into a makeshift interrogation room. The lights were all off except one in the middle. And that light was illuminating Dead Shot. Dead shot was tied to a chair in the center of the room. He had his mask off and his face showed. He had black eyes, and black hair. He had the same dull human white skin as Marc. But he had several bruises on his face from his battle with Mirror Match. "No matter what you try I'll never tell you who my buyers are." Dead shot said definitely. "Oh, I know that all too well, Lawton, that's why I brought a telepath." Mirror Match said. "This is where you come in Sunset." "She's a telepath?" Dead shot asked surprise. "Yep." Mirror answered truthfully. "Hmmm." Dead Shot said curious. Then Sunset walked over to Dead shot and put her hand on his arm to see his memories. She was sent to a meeting of sorts. Sunset saw a group of people sitting around a large table. Sitting in one chair to the right was a man with dark with hints of gray hair. He was clad in green robes with hints gold fabrics in it. He had dark green eyes. Sitting in a chair to the left was a red haired woman with brown eyes. She was wearing a puke green shirt with a black leather skirt and jacket not that dissimilar to Sunset's. In the far right chair was a bald man with a black tux on. He had dark eyes and dull white skin like everyone else in this meeting. The center chair was turned round facing the window, but it was unusually larger than the others. Sitting next too the red haired woman was a man with dark hair and eyes. He wore a black Nazi SS leather uniform with silver buttons and belt, and on that belt's center was a strange imprint of a skull with octopus tendrils sprouting from the bottom. Then a door opened and footsteps could be heard. The first to enter was a man in an orange and black mask and armor. Next was Dead Shot. Last was a man with a black mask with white outlines circling his eyes. He wore a brown coat and dark shoes. He also wore a black undershirt. "Who are you guys?" The man in orange and blue armor asked first. "Some I know, but who are the rest of you guys?" Then a dark gravelly voice came from behind the giant chair. "Role call, Council of Shadow." The robed man stood up and spoke. "I am he whom is known as Ra's al Ghul, The Demon's Head. I am from the DCU" Ra's Al Ghul stated And sat down.. Then the red haired women stood up and spoke, "I am Melanie Lemay, CCO of Abstergo, I hail from the Assassin's Creed dimension." She introduced and sat down. Next the bald man stood up and spoke. "I'm Lex Luther CEO and founder of Lexcorp, I hail from the DCU as well as The Demon's head." Lex stated the sitting down himself. After Lex sat down The man in the black Nazi uniformed stood up and spoke in a thick German accent. "I am Johan Schmidt. Many know me as the Red Skull, leader of HYDRA. I hail from the Marvel dimension." The Nazi introduced himself, and then sat down. Then the gravelly voice spoke simply and tersely. "you WILL address me as Uxas, nothing more is worth your concern nor knowledge of, assassins." "We want you three to do something for us." Melanie said "We have need of your talents." Lex spoke. "We need you to kill someone." "Not all of you will go after him, most of are needed by the sides of council members." Uxas said "Dead shot however will be the one to fire a trigger for us." "Who's the target?" Dead shot asked and stepped closer to the table. "A boy of age unknown, he resides in Canterlot, PA." Ra's al ghul said as everyone sat down and as he slid a folder with Marc's name on it toward the man who never misses. "Don't undermine or underestimate him. He's killed all the ninja I've sent to end him." "Alright I'll do it." Dead shot said putting down the folder. "Bane." Melanie said to the man in the brown coat. "You'll be my body guard." "And why would I do that, Bruja?" Bane asked. "Because we need to go to CHS if Dead shot fails." Melanie explained. "And you'll get enough money to by all of Santa Prisca." "Alright, Bruja." Bane gave in. "Deathstroke." Lex said to the man in the black and orange mask. "You'll protect me, and believe me, Melanie and I don't enjoy this either." "Same reward as Bane?" Deathstroke asked. Lex only nodded. "My blade is yours." Deathstroke said. The vision ended and Sunset was back in the garage with Dead Shot and Mirror Match. Sunset must have had a look of fear on her face because Mirror asked. "What's wrong Sunset?" "I need to talk the girls and Marc, something tells me he has something to do with the council of shadow." Sunset said as she walked out to confront Marc. Marc was talking on his phone as the girls were sweeping up the broken glass. "Yes. Agent Shadow, Dead shot. Listen are you or are not in CPA yet, oh, you are? Good. Find that sleeper and report back. See you at the games." Marc said as he hung up. "Who was that, darling?" Rarity asked. "Just an old friend, Rare." Marc answered. "Marc, may I speak to you?" Sunset asked. "Sure Sunset, what is it?" Marc said. "In my vision while me and Mirror where questioning Dead shot, I saw his buyers." Sunset said. "Yes, and who are his buyers?" Marc asked. "They call themselves the Council of Shadow." Sunset said. As soon as Sunset said Shadow, Marc's face, for a split second, was of pure, potent yellow fear. Sunset was surprised to see that level of fear on Marc. Marc recomposed himself and got his cool back. After a minute he finally spoke smoothly. "I've heard of them, so did by any chance they do a role call?" Marc asked. "Yes they did. How did you know they might have, Marc?" Sunset asked. "Hunch." Marc simply said tapping his temple with two fingers. "Ra's al Ghul, Melanie Lemay, Lex Luther, and Johan Schmidt were the ones I saw." Sunset said. "I've heard of them all, anyone else in this 'council'?" Marc asked. "Yes, one other. His voice was gravelly like stone. He was big, really big, he only called himself Uxas." Sunset answered. As soon as she said "Uxas" Marc's face was painted with that same fear as before, if anything even more so now. You could see the yellow. "Thank you for the info on this threat on my life, Mirror get Lawton back to Gotham, please." Marc ordered. Mirror nodded and went to do that. At least a minute later you could here the faint POP that a teleport spell leaves behind. "What now?" Velvet asked. "Well, I guess we should keep watch." Kelia suggested. "Well girls I don't know bout you, but I'm getting some shut eye." Marc said as he walked to AJ's room too get some sleep. Pretty soon the girls followed and in a few minutes the ex-Assassins could hear snoring. "Hi i'm back." Mirror said as she popped back into the living room about an hour later. Velvet breeze then walked toward her and punched Mirror. "That's for Dewdrop." She said and walked away. Under her breath Mirror spoke. "I'm sorry for all my sins." And aloud she said. "Oww, nice cross Velvet." "Thanks, but I don't need you of all people to complement me." Velvet said in rage. "Whoa." Morning said in impressed shock. "Look you hate me I get that, but don't let your emotions cloud your judgement, Velvet. We all have the same goals, remember that, please, after all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend ."Mirror said before she popped out of the living room. "Velvet!" Morning yelled. "That was uncalled for!" "Uncalled for?! Shse killed Dewdrop, she broke Frigid, so that's the least she deserves!" Velvet countered. "I know, but she seems less evil, she shows up blue in Eagle Vision!" Morning said rubbing her face in memory, "plus everyone deserves a second chance." "You trust her?!" Kelia said in shock. "Of course not, I just choose to give her the benefit of the doubt." Morning defended. "But if that witch is lying, I'll cut her throat." To emphasize her point she drew her sword. Everyone went back to keeping watch signaling the argument was over. Outside in the bushes, was Mirror and another. "Do you have it?" The shadowy figure asked. "Yes." Mirror answered, giving the figure a purple pendant. "You sure you need that?" "Yes." The figure answered. "Looks like Nebulon is finally making his move if your so afraid your using protocol Omega-X, Yang" "You have no idea." Yang said. "Tell me, how long have you known, Psithyra?" "Know what?" Mirror asked."Your secret?" Yang nodded. "Since I met you." "Can I trust you with that knowledge?" "Yes, Milord." "Good." Yang said before teleporting away. "Good bye, Marc." Mirror said before running off into the night. //-------------------------------------------------------// Dreams //-------------------------------------------------------// Dreams Sunset Shimmer was sleeping peacefully until she heard a strange noise that woke her up. She looked around the room and saw Marc tossing and turning and talking in his sleep. Sunset wondered what is going on in that head of his. Then she remembered. 'I'm a telepath, but this is what the old me would do, plus this was Pinkie's plan B.' As she continued to stare at Marc's restless sleep she decided 'No, the old me wouldn't use this to help a friend, but the new me would.' And that settled it. She walked over her sleeping friends and put her hand on Marc's forehead and was whipped into his dream. It was scary, she saw the Council of Shadow surround the school. Principle Celestia, Vice-Principle Luna, and Principle Cadence were held, hostage. Along with the new teacher, Star Swirl. She saw a human Queen Chrysalis floating off the ground. Alongside an extremely tall man with rock-like skin, red eyes, and blue armor. Yet it felt incomplete. Then Marc walked forward to confront the giant. "Darkseid! You want me, let the mortals go." Marc said pointing to the hostages. "No, young God of light I shan't," Darkseid spoke in the same gravelly voice as Uxas. Then it dawned on Sunset Darkseid IS Uxas. "I know they are members of the Council of Light." "You lying stone headed despot!" Marc shouted in anger "I'll kill you! Agent Shadow, NOW!" Then, a young Shadow Bolt male with black-gray skin and shadow black hair and green eyes ran forward and aimed his arm at Darkseid and shot black shadow tendrils at Darkseid, but Darkseid destroyed them with his crimson Omega Beam lasers. Then he went to Marc and stood beside him. "Hello, Yang." He said. "Long live the king, Sombra?" Marc asked the Shadow Bolt. "Long live the king," Sombra answered. "Hey, underoos!" Marc shouted through his hands. Then the rooftops were filled with white Assassin robes. "Say hello to the Assassins of the Trottingham bureau," Marc yelled as the girls were shocked, but the three Ex Assassins were shocked the most. They saw their lost mentor, Emerald Edge, Mirror Match, Frigid Night, High Noon, and their dead brothers and sisters, all their eyes were gold, standing side-by-side, blades were drawn. And then the portal started to pulse, and out of the portal came a whole squadron of eclipse guards in single file, clad in armor with a spear and shield in each hand, herded by Princess Luna. "And say hello to Luna's Eclipse guards," Marc said. "Glad you got the message, Luna." "To be honest you telling Sunset to ask for my help aroused suspicion, my sister, Cadence, the Mane 6, and Shining Armor with his crystal guard are after me," Luna said in fear for her friends. "We can use this Luna, oh surround the perimeter" Marc ordered. "We might need the help of the heroines and heroes of Equestria." "Equestria? I thought Apokolips is weird," The Flash said as the Justice League showed up. "Apokolips? Try the dark dimension," Iron man said as the Avengers arrived. "I see you both got my signal?" Marc asked. "Yeah, imagine my surprise when Hawk eye's glasses glowed gold," Iron man said as he hovered alongside Hulk, Captain America, Black Panther, Thor, Spider-man, Hawkeye, Doctor Strange, and Black widow. "And my surprise when Kara's chest symbol glowed gold," Superman said as Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Arrow, and Doctor Fate. "And mine when Raven's cloak glowed white," Nightwing said as Raven, Beast boy, Damian Wayne, Starfire, Terra, Wonder Girl, Miss Martian, Cyborg, and Aqualad was teleported in by Raven's spell. Darkseid was taken by surprise, he was outnumbered by people who are real threats to him. Not the superhero teams, but the Freedom Fighter field agents. "So, anyone wanna explaining what's happening, when did the comic con arrive?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Quiet, girl," Deathstroke said in annoyance while keeping his katana on Celestia's throat. "Young Kurtzman here has not been honest with you, seven," Red skull said keeping VP Luna at gunpoint "he is secretly the God light and your principal here is a high ranking member of Hiz council of Light." "Is this true, Marc?" Applejack asked in shock at the truth. "Is it?" Marc breathed deeply before saying "Yes, the Red Skull is correct." "Impossible, Gods aren't real," Twilight said in denial. "Yes, they are a young girl, Thor the god of thunder is right there," Red skull said. Everyone wanted the heroes to act, but as long as Ra's al Ghul had Cadence at sword point, Red skull had VP Luna at gunpoint, Death Stroke had Celestia's throat held up by his katana and Star swirl held by Bane, no one can act. Marc knew he could not act, not while there were hostages were in play. Darkseid new it as well. Darkseid grinned at this. He activated his Omega beams and hit Marc dead on, killing him. "MARC, NOOOOO!!!!!!" Dream Sunset and real Sunset screamed in unison. Then, the dream ended and she knew she was back in the real world. Marc awoke a split second after she, and throat punched her. "I'm so sorry, Sunset. Come on let's head downstairs." Marc said sincerely realizing what he did. "Let me make you some tea." Sunset tried to talk, but she couldn't. It hurt too much to even breath for Sunset. Marc hit her in her throat quick and hard, but he was sorry. 'It's must be a reflex' Sunset thought at first. Then logic struck 'only an Assassin has a reflex like that, and Marc isn't an Assassin.' But what was he then? Sunset doesn't really know who Marc is. These questions will have to wait, Sunset and Marc got downstairs. The Ex Assassins broke off from keeping watch to attend to Sunset. "Sunset are you alright?" Velvet asked. Sunset tried to reply, but her voice was raspy "Mar... Throa....refle..." "I'll get you some tea." Morning Blade said as she went into the kitchen to make some herbal tea with honey. "Kurtzman, what happened to our friend?" Kelia asked Marc. Marc sighed before answering truthfully "I throat punched her; before you say anything it was a reflex, not voluntary." At these words, everyone was shocked. "Reflex? Why the hell would it be a reflex, Kurtzman?" Kelia asked in anger. "I took MMA a while back, and I guess it just kicked in, plus while I was the royal adviser to the queen, I was trained to hold my own against the best of the best." Marc part lied part told the truth, but the Assassins were convinced and that was all that mattered to Marc. "I'm back." Morning said as she walked back in and gave Sunset some Tea. As Sunset drank it she felt her voice come back to her. "This is really good, Morning," Sunset said to Morning Blade "Where did you learn to make this?" "Trick of the Trade," Morning winked. "Coolio, miss Blade," Marc said to her. "Thanks." Morning replied. "Anyway I'm tired so I'm a gonna head up to get some shut-eye. OK?" Marc said as he walked upstairs to go back to bed. "There is one thing I'm unclear on," Kelia said. "Why were you even hovering over Marc in his sleep anyway, Sunset?" "Do you have a thing for him?" Velvet asked curiously. "What?! No!" Sunset blushed. "Then what were you doing?" Kelia asked. "I saw him tossing and turning, so I walked over and used my telepathy to see his dream," Sunset said. "But what I saw was more like a vision. You 3 were in it, as was the council of shadow and Queen Chrysalis, and superheroes, the Avengers, the Justice League, and the Teen Titans. Princess Luna and Sombra were in it too, but not exactly the Sombra we killed, he, uh, was reformed." After her sentence, she was surprised to know who all those superheroes are because she never picked up comic in her life. "Hmmmmm, strange" Kelia said deep in thought. "Very strange." "Queen Chrysalis, as in the queen of the queen Changlings?" Morning blade asked. "Yes. I'm going back up, thanks for the Tea." Sunset said going back upstairs. 'How did Sunset get past my mental encryptions? Only Worthington has even a chance of breaking through.' Marc thought to himself as he lied down in his gold and blue sleeping bag. 'Calm down Kurtzman, she got lucky.' A minute passed before Marc got out his Codex, but his personal Codex was not what he needed. He put his hand his book bag again and pulled out a strange looking journal, it was a dull brown with a leather strap, but the most interesting thing about it is the logo on the front. It was a dark blue half moon with the yang symbol consuming each other. To a normal person, it is just a diary, but its true nature is more....magical, for it is truly an Equestrian message book, to Marc's knowing Sunset has one similar to this one, the only difference is which Alicorn it reaches out to. Marc pulled out his gold and blue pen with hints of white. The button on the top was a gold gemstone. This very pen would make Rarity squeal with joy it was so beautiful. Marc took his pen and began writing in his journal. Dear Agent night, the time of prophecy is nigh. The Seven are continuing to pry into my secrets. Aside from that, the visions are getting stronger, but not all of the council of shadow appears though, only the ones that hired Dead shot, no Eobard Thawne, no Kang and still no Vlad Tepes, but when I give the signal have agents at the ready, we'll need all hands on deck, that is all. Sincerely, Agent Yang. Marc looked over the message twice, it was nice and short and to Marc, that meant less time to take to read it. Then Marc heard footsteps, he put away his codex and journal. He put his head on his pillow and readied his hook blade. When he saw it was only Sunset he put away his blade and went to sleep. Ready for the next day. //-------------------------------------------------------// Breakfast //-------------------------------------------------------// Breakfast It was a quiet day when Sunset woke up. It was about dawn when she went roused. Even though she would have much rather slept in, but she awoke to the consistent sound of wood splintering so, she was curious and went downstairs. When she got downstairs she noticed that Velvet Breeze and Morning Blade were asleep, Kelia was keeping watch when she heard Sunset walk downstairs. "How did you sleep, Sunset Shimmer?" Kelia asked Sunset. "I slept fine. You?" Sunset asked. "I didn't, but Velvet and Morning fell asleep Round 4:00 last night," Kelia responded. "Freaky," Sunset simply said. "To each her own," Kelia responded. "But Marc is outside helping Big Mac buck some apples." "Alright." Sunset shrugged and walked out. When she got outside, she saw Big Mac leaning against the barn, bottle of cider in one hand, and the other in his pant pocket. She walked over to him and spoke. "Hey, Big Mac," Sunset said, catching his attention. "Hey Sunset, how are ya?" Big Mac asked. "I'm fine. You?" Sunset replied. "I'm well. Why ya out here so early?" Big Mac asked. "I'm looking for Marc," Sunset answered. Big Mac pointed to the orchard with his free hand and said. "He's bucking apples." "Hm, does he need any help?" Sunset asked. "At first no, but to be honest; I'm not sure," Big Mac said. "He's crazy strong, but if you wanna go see if he needs help, be ma guest." "Okay," Sunset said. But then they heard singing. "He, he, he. Oh, child, things are gonna get easier. Oh, child, things'll get brighter. " Marc sang with a few buckets of apples in hand, earbuds in his ears, his phone playing the song he was singing. "Hey Marc," Sunset said waving to him. "Oh, hey Sunset, how's that throat?" Marc said turning off his phone and putting it away with his earbuds. "Better," Sunset answered, rubbing her throat. "Hey, Big Mac, another few pounds of apples," Marc said handing Big Mac the buckets of apples. "Thanks, Marc," Big Mac said as he grabbed the buckets and walked away, leaving Marc and Sunset alone. "So," Marc said trying to break the awkward silence. "So," Sunset replied. "You're probably curious about when I knocked out Velvet Breeze?" Marc said. "Yeah. Why and how did you do what you did that day?" Sunset asked. "I was in a tight spot, threatened by a trained killer, so I acted on instinct, and that stuff with Celestia is just need-to-know." Marc half lied. "Hmm, how did you sneak around her and see her perfectly in the foggy afternoon?" Sunset asked. "Eh, Eagle Vision and luck," Marc answered casually. "Oh okay-Wait what? Eagle vision!?" Sunset asked in shock. "Huh, oh yeah!" Marc answered, "A while back in New Jersey, I was almost mugged on my way home as I walked past an ally, but it suddenly kicked in and I sensed the bozo and ran the other way to my house and called 911 and ratted out the thief." "Oh," Sunset said. "Wait you aren't from Pennsylvania?" "Nope, I'm from Clifton," Marc answered truthfully "When I was younger I always complained about the fact we didn't live anywhere nicer or famous, even though we were a hop, skip and drive away from Manhattan." They shared a laugh together. "Hmmmmm," Marc said deep in thought. "What is it, Marc?" Sunset asked. "Nothing, Sunset, just, I've been thinking, that later today is the Friendship Games rematch and I'm just wondering, what are we gonna do if something happens like last time." "Oh, wait? Friendship games rematch?" Sunset asked, "why?" Marc shrugged. But these questions will have to wait because Granny Smith just yelled. "Breakfast! Come an' get it!" Granny yelled. "Come on, Sunset, we have a looooong day ahead of us," Marc said as he and Sunset went in to have breakfast. "Hey, Marc." Someone said behind him, stopping him. Marc looked at the house to make sure Sunset was inside. Then he looked for the source of the voice. "Coulson," Marc said when he saw S.H.E.I.L.D agent Phil Coulson. "Shadow says hi," Phil said. "That all?" Marc asked the agent. "No, I'm here to give you Luna's response." "What is it?" "Well, she says to keep your head on a swivel and be careful, that and all you see now is all your gonna get." "Gotcha, see ya, Coulson," Marc said as the hologram ended and he went inside. End of act I Author's Note So it seems Marc is actually very downhome, yet the Shadow Bolts are back and more dangerous than ever, what do these dreams mean though? Who is Marc Wayne Kurtzman really? What was he doing in his world's Masyaf castle? Only time can tell as you venture onward. End of act I //-------------------------------------------------------// The sponsors //-------------------------------------------------------// The sponsors The gang went to school and the ex Assassins came along in case a battle roused. As the girls got to school they noticed that the shadow bolts buses were parked in front along with two long limos, one black one with the Wayne industries logo, one white with the Lexcorp symbol on it. "Strange, very strange." Velvet said looking at the limos. The welcome party was more lively than last time Thanks to the combined efforts of Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich's skill. "Hey, girls," Marc said with a bottle of cider in hand meeting up with them. "Hey, Marc," Sunset said. "There's someone I want you to meet, once I find him that is," Marc said looking around the gym. Then Marc saw one of the shadow bolts and walked over to him. The girls and ex Assassins followed him. Marc walked toward a male shadow bolt with charcoal gray skin, dark black hair, golden eyes, and crystal black hair. Yet he was somewhat familiar. "Hey, Sombra," Marc said to the shadow bolt. "Hello, Marc." Said Sombra. Then he noticed the girls and Assassins. "You sure this is a good idea?" Sombra asked Marc a little scared. "Yes," Marc said firmly. "And if they threaten you, I'll handle it." "Like you 'handled' playing me on Injustice?" "Ahem," Sunset said. "Right, girls I believe you know the former Grandmaster/King Sombra," Marc said to the girls "SOMBRA!!" The girls yelled in shock. The former Assassins unfurled their wrist blades and threatened Sombra with it, and held him against the wall. "I don't know how you survived, but I will end you here and now for what you did to us and the pain you caused us!" Morning said in an unseen fury. "Well Marc, handle it." Sombra requested. "Girls, let him go, please let my friend go," Marc said trying to defend Sombra. "Your friends with him!" Sunset said surprised. "Oh, I'm friends with a Changeling and that doesn't shock you, but with an Umbrum teenager does!" Marc countered trying to change the subject. "How is that relevant?" Sunset countered. "Long time no see, Assassins." He said in semi-fear with a wrist blade to his throat. "Hm, arrogant to the end," Kelia said. "Let agent Shadow go!" Celestia said as she walked over to the scuffle. "Oh, thank Nebulass!" Marc said. "And why should I let him go? No one else will see us end him here and now, besides, he nearly destroyed the school." Morning Blade countered. "He's currently atoning for his sins." Marc said, "And in return for helping us he gets his full power and a place on the Freedom Fighter high council of Light." Everyone was shocked to hear these words from Marc's mouth. "Besides, all he wishes for now is friendship." Celestia continued. "Alright." Morning said as the ex Assassins reluctantly let Sombra go as he dusted himself off. Then the mic was tapped on catching everyone's attention. For a second Marc forgot that no one heard them over the party. "Hello CHS." Cadence said, "I'm glad we could have this get together once more, and I thank Principle Celestia for agreeing to have this rematch, but even more so, we've gotten sponsors." At the word, "Sponsors" Cadence earned unsure and confused murmurs from Shadow Bolt and wonder colt alike. Celestia walked toward the stage to be seen and stood next to her sister. Then Cadence handed the mic to Lex. "Hello, I'm Lex Luthor from Lexcorp Industries," He said as he handed the Mic to Ra's "Hello, My name is Ra's al Ghul from demonic economics." Ra's said as he handed the mic to Melanie. "Hello, my name is Melanie Lemay from Abstergo Entertainment," Melanie said as she handed the mic to a man with blonde hair and lightning yellow eyes with a yellow tux. "My name is Eobard Thawne, from S.T.A.R Labs," Eobard said as he handed the mic to Nathaniel Richards. "My name is Nathaniel Richards from Immortis Industries," he said as he handed the mic to a pale man with red eyes, long fangs, and dark hair, he was clad in black robes and a cape. "My name is Count Vlad Dracula Tepes of Wallachia Economics." The king of the Vampires said as he handed the mic to a young man with long dark hair, red eyes, and human white skin. "My name is Uxas from Apokolips Industries," Uxas said. The final member of the council of shadows "sponsors" was Johan Schmidt. "Hello, My name is Johan Schmidt or John Smith, if easier, from HYDRA sciences and mythology." The Nazi said. Then he handed the mic to a man with blonde hair and goatee, green eyes, green tux, and dull human white skin. The man spoke. "My name is Oliver Queen, from Queen Consolidated." Then the Arrow handed the mic to a man with dark hair, black eyes, a black tux, and dull human white skin. "Hello, my name is Bruce Wayne, CEO of Wayne Enterprises." Said the Gotham caped crusader. "And we hear the last Friendship Games were eventful, even though we don't have the details, but we know we have a prize this year for the school that wins these games." Then Melanie took the mic and said. "The grand prize is a charity from each company, an internship for the final 6 winners that take the trophy, and a tour of the company you choose to intern at." Everyone was curious at these words, yet Marc was not curious for he knew what really was going on. "Marc, are those guys-?" Rainbow began to ask when Marc finished. "Yes, Rainbow Dash," Marc said darkly. "They are the Council of Shadow, yet Oliver Queen and Bruce Wayne can be trusted." "Why?" Kelia asked. "Because Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen Are The Batman and the Green Arrow," Marc said earning impressed yet confused murmurs. "Two members of the Justice League." "You mean that team of superheroes in your dream?" Pinkie Pie asked shocking Marc. "What. Do. You. Mean. By. In. My. Dream. Pinkemena. Diane. Pie?" Marc asked through gritted teeth. "Uh, last night when Sunset read your mind. She saw your dream," Pinkie said innocently. Marc growled in anger. "Of course! Hello, Marc!" Marc said as he hit himself on his forehead. "Right The Seventh has telepathic powers. That's what she was doing last night. Now I know she saw the whole vision." "What was that Marc?" Applejack asked. "Huh? Nothing. I'm taking a walk." Marc said as he walked off and went to mingle. "Sombra, I can't believe I'm asking this, but." Morning Blade began to say but stopped. "But what?" Sombra asked after drinking some cider. "Mmm, Apple family cider is the best, whether on Equestria or earth." "Uh, thanks to King Sombra." Applejack said unsurely at the Umbrum. "Please, Applejack it is just Sombra. I'm no king. Never was, never will be." Sombra said waving it off. "I see that now." "Good, good, but how do you know Marc, Sombra?" Morning Blade asked. "Oh, he was an agent for the high council. In fact, Princess Luna was the one who recruited him. " Sombra said. These words shocked everyone a little. "His code name was agent Yang. He was so skilled the head of the council was impressed, he hand trained Marc. Soon Marc surpassed the skills of his teacher and was made the head of the council. In fact he was so quick in his studies, he was made head of the council in a week and was given Goldsword, the sword of light and sword of our founder Nebulass, but when he died the head of the council protects the sword till Nebulass returns, but Marc hid a greater power, only his closest friends knew of it, but none of the details. His friends in the council were Worthington the head of council, Councilmember Agent Mentor Steel Shine, and me, but when his parents and younger brother were kidnapped by our enemy Nebulon he left the council and searched for them, but while chasing a lead in his world's Masyaf he was sucked thru an inter-dimensional temporal rift and sucked to this world's middle ages, the reign of Queen Sunlight Radiance and King Dawn Saber to be exact, but he left an impact because he knew everything that happened and will happen back then, so he took the name Light Sparker and was made high prophet, even though only the queen and mage Moon Tide new who he really was, because he knew who they were and he trusted them. And they him. Eventually, he found a way to get back in Equestria and use the magical energy there to get to this world's modern times. With a little help from the newly formed pillars of old Equestria. But Worthington rehired Marc a little while before Nebulass hired me, and Marc helped me adjust to this human life. He enrolled me in CPA, partly to spy partly cause I need a normal lifestyle and need more than just one friend, and here we are." Sombra finished. But then he saw the girls shocked faces and held back a chuckle. "But that's what I heard from Nebulass," Sombra added. Then a timid looking Shadow bolt girl with crystal blue skin, light green eyes, and long green flowing hair walked over. "Hi, Crystal List," Sombra said faking a smile. "Hi, Sombra." crystal list said. Then Marc walked over. Yet it felt different, so he used his telepathy to see what was wrong. Peering through his friends' minds and seeing what they saw and hearing what they heard in the last few minutes. Then Marc noticed Crystal List. "Hello, Crystal List," Marc said to her. "Hello Marc, how are you?" Crystal replied. "I'm well," Marc replied while pulling up his sleeve behind his back and pressing a hidden button on his watch, sending a signal to agents Kara, Raven, and Hawkeye. "Hey, Crystal," Marc said trying to get her to guard down with small talk. "Did you know two of their sponsors are late?" "No, I didn't. Who are they?" Crystal List asked curiously. Then a figure in red-gold armor with a baby blue power source in his chest crashed thru the roof. He flew to the stage and landed with a thud! Then the armor opened up and out of it came a man in a black tux and bow tie with jet black hair and goatee stepped out of it. "Hello, my name is Anthony Stark from Stark industries, or as you better know me; the Iron man," Tony said as his armor folded into a suitcase and Tony picked it up to stand with the other sponsors. "That was needlessly flashy." Oliver Queen said. Then Bruce nodded in agreement. Next, the doors opened to reveal Ebony and Ivory Wings. The ex Assassin's were shocked by the sight of the Changeling queen and her sister. Yet, Marc, Sombra, and Celestia were as cool as cucumbers. 'Hmmm, they are the final sponsors, and everyone here knows them from the news and Ebony's Daring Do movies.' Marc thought to himself as they walked on stage to join the other sponsors and the Principal onstage. Then two other girls walked over to the group. One had purple skin and a blue blouse with a brown overcoat on. She wore two jeans with two holes on the knees and she was wearing a brown beret. "Starlight glimmer, is it?" Marc asked rhetorically to the former unicorn. "Yes." Starlight answered nervously. Then Marc looked over to the other girl. She was wearing a movie theater uniform. She had dark blue-purple hair and the same colored eyes with purple glasses that were the same design as Rarity's cloth making glasses. She also had light yellow skin. "And Juniper Montage," Marc said to her. "Um, hello?" Juniper half asked half greeted nervously. Then the girls glared at him as Crystal walked away to mingle a bit. "Um, how does he know us, Sunset?" Starlight asked in worry. "Uh, long story," Sunset answered. "Sombra, we are foregoing all secrecy, brief these two," Marc ordered pointing to Starlight and Juniper. "Sombra?" Starlight asked a little shocked. "Do I know you?" Sombra asked. "Uh, no you just remind me of a really bad dude back-uh-home." Starlight said choosing her words carefully. "You traveled through time, and in that timeline, because there was no mane 6, I was never defeated and expanded my rein all over Equestria, using my golems and brainwashed crystal ponies to almost killing princess Celestia, even though she was leading the charge," Sombra said shocking Starlight. "The old me would have thanked you for that, but right now I don't care to cause my past is not today." "Whoa, how....what......huh.......?" Starlight stammered as she was pushed along with Juniper as the girls and Marc as they followed the Shadowbolts out of the gym to start the next event. //-------------------------------------------------------// ACADECA //-------------------------------------------------------// ACADECA The Wonder Colts and Shadow Bolts all lined up across from each other as the sponsors and principals walked in between each faction. Starlight Glimmer and Juniper Montage were still trying to wrap their heads around what Sombra just told them, which was what he and Marc told the girls. "Alright, same rules as last time." Cadence began. "Good luck everyone!" Everyone broke into song, much to the annoyance of the sponsors and ex Assassin spectators and Velvet Breeze. The Shadow Bolts began. Ho, we're gonna take you down. Ho, we're gonna take you down. Take you, down, down, down. Then the Wonder Colts. Ah, we're gonna take you out. Ah, we're gonna take you out. Ah, we're gonna take you out. We're gonna take you out. The first event was chemistry, Twilight excelled yet Velvet failed, whereas Marc made a perfect solution in record time. "Just call me the Half-blood Prince," Marc said smirking at his victory, earning a slight chuckle from Sci-Twi because she got the joke. But Kelia facepalmed at his bad joke. Then (just like last time) Derpy's potion blew up in her face, making her hair stand on end leaving her covered in soot. Then the Wonder colt's continued their competitive chorus. we're not bout to let you win, so get out of our way. Think you got us beat, but we're here to stay. United strong, we're gonna take you down. You're not so tough when you're in our town All of the times we lost before. Not about to give up, we're bringing in more. We can smell your fear, we can see your sweat. Hope you didn't spend money cause your losin' this bet. This event was cooking, which of course Pinkie wowed the crowd in. Mainly for her Mona Lisa cake, earning the same looks from the principals as last time. Yet what really takes the cake (pun intended) Is Marc's depiction of Al Mualim's defeat at the hands of Altair Iban La Ahad from the Assassins Creed game in his cake. This image almost caused Melanie to faint in shock. The ex Assassin's though we're really shocked. Marc though just telepathically told them 'I'll explain more about this image and my telepathy when all this blows over.' And gave them a look to match what he just said. "That takes the cake I bet," Marc snickered seeing everyone's shocked faces. you've got nothing on us, na na Nana na na, let's go, Wonder colts! You've got nothing on us, let's go Wonder colts!!!! Then the Shadow bolts continued. Talk a little too much for a school that never wins. Maybe you should just stop fore you even begin. We Crystal Prep High and we have a reputation: every little moment is about our education. Put your ear to the ground. Listen to that sound. You're a house of cards, and it's bout to fall down, (fall down, fall down), Hit the ground! The next class was Wood Shop. Marc did his best to make a Mini replica/birdhouse of Masyaf castle, but he scraped by just barely, but Juniper wasn't so lucky. Yet Sugarcoat and Indigo Zap wowed everyone with their birdhouse, just like last time. Rainbow glared at Marc. Marc laughed nervously then said, "sorry, I do LEGO and magic, I don't do wood shop." You got nothing on us on us, na, na na na, na, let's go Shadow Bolts. You got nothing on us, let's go SHADOW BOLTS!!!!! Next was a spelling bee, (which Marc won, yet Starlight lost) and everyone was kicked off one-by-one. Then the singing resumed, with the Colts leading Pressures on, you know we're gonna beat you. Step aside it's time that we defeat you. Crystal Prep yourself cause your bout to go down, down, down! Then the Shadow bolts began to lead again. Pressures on you know we're gonna take you! Just give up fore we hafta break you. Canter-not-a lot your gonna go down, down, down, down. The next and final event of the ACADECA elimination round was the geometry test. And Marc was leading the charge against Crystal List. Take it up to the top, cause we know we can win. The girls sang cheering Marc on. Don't you dare stop, cause we will not give in The Shadow bolts said to Crystal list. Then they all sang in unison We believe in ourselves and We got what it takes. And we're not gonna stoooooop!!!! Then Crystal began to sing. I can't wait till this is all over! There is so much more going on! Then Marc continued. And when these games are over, Everyone will find out just what is going on! The pressure was intense! Marc was barely scraping by. Whoever she really is, she's as smart as Sci-Twi and princess Twilight combined. Marc was impressed, yet he did not deter. Then the two schools continued. Can he do it? Will she make it? Who will win it? Who will take it? Did he win it? Did she take it? Who's the winner? Who's the reject? Can she do it? Will he make it? How did he/she answer? "Incorrect!" Cadence said pointing to Marc. "That means the winner of the final round, is Crystal List and Crystal Prep!" Luna exclaimed. Earning Crystal applause from her school. She took a moment to inhale deeply, as if she's draining the affection, feeding off it. "Of course, 'Crystal List' now it makes sense!" Marc said to himself seeing what she was doing. "That was awesome Marc!" Rainbow exclaimed snapping Marc from his thoughts. "Indeed, you were only off by ten." Sci-Twi continued. "Yes, Sci-Twi, I knew that," Marc said to her. "But, damn, that was close." "You did well milord," Sombra said walking over to congratulate his head of the council. "Thank you, Sombra," Marc replied. Then the Final 6 from each team walked onstage. For the bolts, they lost Lemon zest and Sunny flair, for the Colts; they lost Pinkie Pie, Velvet Breeze, and Fluttershy. Then they all walked away, heading to the second round. Yet Marc stayed behind. As did Crystal List and the COS. "The Demon's head." Marc said "Kang the conquerer, Count Dracula, Professor Zoom, Melanie Lemay, Lex Luthor, Darkseid, and Red Skull." The Council of Shadow was a bit shocked to here Marc calling them by their (for those that have one) villain code name. This caught the attention of the other sponsors, ex Assassins, the Shadow Bolt mane 6, the Main 7, Juniper Montage, and Starlight Glimmer, who were just leaving. They hid behind a corner wanting to see how this will play out. "Ah, Agent Yang." Ra's said realizing who he is. "For all the stories I heard about you, I expected someone with your reputation to be a little bit.....older." "Well, I expected the great Ras al Ghul to be....taller." Marc quipped back, earning an angry glare from Ra's. "It's RA'S AL GHUL, not RAS," Ra's said in anger at that insult. "We would kill you here and now if that wasn't the plan." "Oh, I know. And seriously? Crystal List?" Marc asked chuckling. "Soooo not original. Rhymes with her real name, and I know who she really is, must have been embarrassing for her to have lost everything at the hands of powerless unicorns, and Chaos God. Along with the help of that young honorable Changeling." "How do you know that?" Crystal hissed. "In my world, Twilight's adventures are a show called MLP FIM, and that includes your defeat in the season 6 finale, Chryssie," Marc said. Crystal growled. She bared her fangs and claws ready to kill Marc. Whereas Marc just pulled out his pen. When Crystal charge, Marc dodged easily. Then he that phew his pen in the air and said an incantation. "Morphicon" Marc chanted. Then his pen turned into a golden sword and landed in his right hand. Its blade was constantly glowing, it had the design of a bastard sword. Its handle had a white leather strap on it. The hilt was blue and was U shaped. On the bottom was a giant gold-white diamond that shimmered with energy. "That sword alone just inspired me six new fashion lines." Rarity whispered, yet earning annoyed shush from everyone around her. Seeing Goldsword, Crystal backed off and sheathed her claws and retracted her fangs. "That's a good former Changeling queen," Marc said as he morphed his sword back into a pen. "I guess even the monsters of Equestria know to fear Goldsword, the sword of light." And then Marc walked to follow the class. Seeing Marc was coming everyone hurried to join back up with the larger group. Marc then joined up as well. "Can you make me something from your new line inspired by the Sword of Light, Rarity," Marc asked, signaling to everyone that he knew they watched him. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Tricross relay //-------------------------------------------------------// The Tricross relay Everyone took the places they did last time. Yet Crystal List was in the archery station and Sombra was in speed skating. And for the Wonder Colts; Marc requested to ride in motor-cross with Sunset. Sci-Twi with Applejack in archery. Rarity and Rainbow Dash in speed skating. Everyone took their positions. Then the sponsors and Principals sat down in their chairs in a special booth overlooking the whole field. "Everyone, welcome to the second round of the friendship games," Cadence announced loud enough for everyone to hear "The Tricross relay, where the competing teams will compete in archery, speed skating, and finally motor cross!" "If there are no further questions, you may begin," Celestia shouted. Applejack was first to run, Soursweet soon followed quickly. Applejack slid over a hay bale, then narrowly avoided the mud pit. She grabbed her bow and fired a quick shot at the moving bulls-eye, narrowly missing it. Then Soursweet copied her moves from the last games, allowing Crystal List to catch up to her. Soursweet earned an impressed look from Oliver Queen. Applejack then went for a second shot, this time she hit it. Utilizing the same patients as last time. She hit the bulls-eye spot on. Then Sci-Twi displayed improved agility. She hit the bulls-eye on her first try, allowing Rarity and Rainbow to begin skating round. Then Crystal List displayed superior agility and reflexes after she barrels rolled over the mud pit, she did a forward roll and hit the bulls-eye in one shot, allowing CPA to catch up. After the Wonder Colt side of the scoreboard glowed with a giant 6, Sunset and Marc began racing against Sugarcoat and Indigo Zap. "No giant man-eating plants, that's a good sign," Marc said chuckling to himself. "I wouldn't bet on that, Yang," Crystal List said to herself, she began changing an incantation. NOK! NOOK!! LEEM!!! TROM!!!! SOTH!!!!!! NI'IM!!!!!! PROT!!!!!!!!! NECKRON!!!!!!!!!! CHINTO!!!!!!!!!!! OPAN!!!!!!!!!!!! PORT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then, all too familiar portals opened. Out of them, came giant Venus pony traps. Everyone screamed in terror. Oliver was tempted to fight, as was Ivory, but defusing glances from Celestia and Bruce stopped both from revealing themselves. Then Sunset Shimmer's motorcycle was attacked by a plant. The bike was smashed and a crater in its place, Sunset wasn't hit by the plant luckily, but the plant missed her just barely. Marc sighed and chuckled. "The workday grind never ends," Marc said too himself. He then bent his back backward on his bike he waited for the dirt jump. Then Marc readied his tri-function wrist blade. The blade had a bow like a phantom blade. It had a rope dart mechanism like the one the belonged to the Frye twins, Jacob and Evie. And a hook blade for the blade. 'I'll have to thank Evie after this for giving me a copy of the blueprints for the grapple blade to improve upon and make my own custom blade.' Marc thought to himself. Then Marc shot the grapple at Sunset. The blade rapped itself round Sunset's forearm. Then Marc sat himself up and pulled Sunset onto his bike. "Whoa, Marc you saved me." Sunset thanked Marc and hugged him. "Hey, I wasn't about to let my friend become pony trap chow," Marc said chuckling. Then Marc took off his helmet while riding still. "Uh, Marc what are you doing?" Sunset asked nervously. "Something brave, a little mad, and extremely heroic," Marc answered. Then he maneuvered himself round Sunset and gave her the wheel. Then Marc stood on the back of the bike and jumped forward and forward. Mimicking a leap of faith. Then Marc did a roll on the dirt, making sure not to injure himself. He got up and dusted off. Marc walked over to a plant and pulled out his pen. Then Marc threw it up into the air and chanted "Morphicon!" Marc's pen then turned into his Sword. But then Marc turned his pen into a cane. With the golden diamond on top. Marc approached the head of the plant. "Solorom Inferno lavaluke!" Marc chanted. Then out of the top of his diamond, blazing light of pure fire emerged. The ray hit the plant head on. The plant yelled in pain, and it attempted to attack Marc. Yet Marc had kept a telekinetic shield up and it helped Marc keep his ground, then the plant began to vaporize. After it disappeared completely the portal keeping it here closed. The sponsors were in shock at Marc's magic skills. "Hmmmmmm," Marc said thinking of a plan to get rid of all the plants. Then it hit him. "Eureka!" Marc said as he snapped his fingers. Marc turned his cane back into a sword and began chanting an enchantment. "ANTI PORTAN NECRO CINNIGARA LAVAN NECRON IMPORTA ANTI PORTA NECRON." Marc chanted. When the spell ended he pointed his sword at one of the portals. NECRIO CINNIGARA LAVALUKE!!!!!!! Marc shouted. Then a golden ray emerged from the sword and hit one of the portals. The portal snapped shut taking the plant with it. Marc smirked at his success. "Test successful, now for the main event," Marc said. "Rarity I need a giant diamond prism!" "You got it darling!" Rarity shouted. Then she made a giant sparkling diamond prism that was 12 feet tall and 10 feet wide. "Good. Now for phase two." Marc said. "Sci-Twi, move it to the center of the field and get it as high as you can!" Sci-Twi nodded. Then she used her telekineses to move the prism to the center of the field and got it as high as she could. "Time for phase 3," Marc said to himself. Marc moved under the prism and aimed his sword at it. "NECRIO CINNIGARA LAVALUKE!!!!!!!" Marc shouted. Then his golden ray hit the center of the prism. After that the ray split in the prism and it all the portals, banishing the plants back to Equestria, destroying the prism, and ending Marc's enchantment The sponsors were stunned by what they just witnessed. A teenage boy and girls just used powerful magic to save everyone. "Alright everyone, why don't we all clear out to get to the next round, alright?" Melanie suggested, hoping to get answers of her own. Everyone complied and moved on, sponsor, staff, and student alike. Yet Ivory and Celestia walked down to see if Marc was alright and Melanie hid behind a mound. "Psithyra, Celestia I'm fine just dusty," Marc said to the two. "Psithyra?" Applejack asked, taking on a battle stance. "What are ya doing here?" "Marc told me to come here and make sure he has back up if he needs it," Ivory answered. "Who was responsible for summoning those plants?" Sunset asked. "Crystal List," Sombra answered as he walked over. "While skating, I saw her chant an incantation to summon those plants." "She already made her move?" Ivory asked. "We have to tread carefully from here on out men," Marc told his agents. "I'll summon Steel Shine and the Trottingham bureau. Oh, and Sunset can I use your journal? Mine's at home." "Sure," Sunset said as she handed Marc her journal. Dear Princess Luna, My vision is close to coming true. Bring ALL Freedom Fighter agents that are in the eclipse guard and bring them to earth. I don't care if your sister or her fellow princesses see this message. We are foregoing all secrecy, just get those men here. We'll need them. Sincerely, Marc Wayne Kurtzman. "Here," Marc said as he gave the journal back to Sunset. Everyone gathering caught the attention of Ebony Wings and Luna. "So, milord, what do we do about Crystal List?" Celestia asked. "Indeed, Council head, it is obvious she's the sleeper agent," Ivory continued. "Do you know who she is?" Marc nodded darkly. "Who is she?" Ivory asked. "A Changeling queen from Equestria," Marc answered vaguely. "Sister, you have explaining to do," Ebony said as she walked over here with Luna. "You too, Tia." Luna continued. "Ever since Marc arrived here, weird stuff has happened, and I mean weirder than usual." "So spill the beans. NOW!!!" Ebony completed. Both Ivory and Celestia looked at Marc seeking his wisdom. "We are foregoing all secrecy." Marc told them. "Celestia first," Luna ordered seeing she was going to get answers soon. "You see it started like this.........." Celestia began. Location: Sugarcube corner, Canterlot, PA Timeline: Post Lost connection Exact timeline: A week after it Time: 6:45 Celestia P.O.V I was walking out of Sugarcube corner with coffee in hand when I saw him. At first, I dismissed the strange boy was following me out. Ignoring him, I headed home. Yet he followed me closely, copied my footsteps exactly, it was strange, creepy, suspicious. 'I was already kidnapped once, I'm not letting this kid, whoever he is, get me.' I thought to myself. Curious and angry I confronted him. "Who are you?" I asked him directly stopping him in his tracks. "My name is Marc Kurtzman, but you may call me Yang," Marc told me cooly. "Why must I call you Yang?" I asked thinking he is crazy. "Because we don't know who might be listening," Marc answered while looking around. "What do you want, Yang?" I asked, humoring him. "I need something from you," He said simply. "What?" I asked. Instead of answering me, he pulled out a folder with a picture of me on it. "Name: Celestia. Known family: sister: Luna. Niece: Cadence. Occupation: Canterlot High school principal," Marc said reading from the folder. "Age: 32. Magical experience: She-demons, Sirens, pieces of Equis, Changeling, and will deal with much more." "How do you know all this?" I asked shocked at what I had heard. "You might not believe me if I told you," Marc answered. "Try me." "Alright, I'm from another dimension where all this....." Marc said extending his arms. ".....Is fiction. And everything that happens in and at CHS and Equestria is a movie and TV series on a channel called the Hub, or Discovery Family, anyway as for what I want from you is more complex." "What do you want?" I asked a little more calmly. "I represent a group called the Freedom Fighters, I wish to recruit you and for you to join our high council," Marc explained putting his arms back at his side. "And if I say no?" I asked in worry of what might happen. "This is your choice, we Freedom Fighters aren't like that," Marc said reassuring me. "Can I sleep on it?" I asked. "Yes," Marc answered. "May I tell my sister or niece?" I asked. "You may not tell a soul that is not a fellow Freedom Fighter," Marc answered honestly. "Why?" I asked confused. "That's is how we have survived for so long, only Freedom Fighters know about Freedom Fighters," Marc said. "Alright, can I get back to you tomorrow?" I asked. Marc nodded. "Here, you'll need this," Marc said handing me a holo-card with Marc's contact info on it. "Now I must get home, Mother is cooking meatloaf, and that's my favorite," Marc said. Then he pulled out a golden two holed ring with a flat top. Then Marc put his hands out in front of him and put his ring on his right hand. Then, keeping his right still, he started making circular motions in the air. Soon, a sparkling orange portal opened in the air. I looked at Marc bamboozled at what I just saw. "It's called a sling-ring, it allows whoever wheres it to travel around the multiverse as long as you know where you're going," Marc said. "And all Freedom Fighters get one for free." Then Marc walked through the portal back to his home. Then the portal disappeared without a trace. "Whoa," I said. But somewhere else at the home of coach Spitfire, IT teacher Crimson Beat, and their adopted daughter Green Song, a stranger is approaching, something sinister is about to happen. "Just finished my report," Spitfire said as she went to sit next to her husband Crimson Beat as she finished her report S.H.I.E.L.D "That's cool, any leads on that strange energy?" Crimson asked. "Yes, It's mainly at CHS, so our current new positions as teachers can do as well," Spitfire answered. "That's goo.........." Crimson trailed off as he got a splitting headache. "Yes, obey ME, and ME alone, Grimstone Ashenwing." A voice said. "Who's there?" Spitfire asked as she got up and pulled out her magnum. Crimson's headache got worse. It was so bad he was on the floor now, clutching his head. Then out of nowhere, a man appeared in the living room, he had scruffy, yet well-kept jet black hair, his eyes were as black as night, he wore black robes worthy of a wizard, and red armor underneath said robes that were similar to Sauron's armor, he had a tattered yet flowing cape that was connected to his robes, his face was partially covered by a black and red half-mask. Yet it looked more like a shard of a helmet than a mask because it had jagged edges, yet the really scary part was that the mask was....connected, to the skin of his face. "Who the Hell are you?" Spitfire asked pointing her magnum at the stranger. "My name is Nebulon, I am the God of Darkness, and unless you want your newly adopted daughter to die a very painful death because her Changeling cells attacked her human ones, I suggest you go to your room and lock your door and pray after I'm done here I don't come to kill you." Nebulon threatened. "Like Hell!" Spitfire answered defiantly. "I'm an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." "So be it." Nebulon said. Then, screams were heard from Green Song's room. "No!" Spitfire called not afraid. She loathed it, but she knew what to do in order to save her daughter. Afraid, Spitfire followed the orders given to her. "Good mortal." Nebulon smirked as he ended the spell and the screams stopped, replaced by labored breathing and a thud due to Green Song passing out from pain. Then Crimson changed to his Grimstone form. "What is thy bidding my master?" Grimstone asked in a monotone voice. ""Good to see my telepathic spell is still buried deep in your mind. Nebulon said smirking. "Do you know who Principal Celestia is? Grimstone nodded. "Good, kidnap her sister Luna, same tactic as Kurtzman's, make sure Celestia sees you kidnap her sister, and give her this card." Nebulon ordered his minion as he handed Grimstone a poisoned razor card. Grimstone flew out of the house, heading to his target. Nebulon began to laugh maniacally. "Soon, I'll rule the multiverse, I have already merged the Marvel universe to EQG, next is the DCU, then Kurtzman's." Nebulon said as he teleported away. "Nebulon sounds like a real party pooper." Pinkie said snapping everyone from the flashback. "I'm trying to tell a story!" Celestia said in anger she rubbed her forehead and continued. "Anyway..............." I was walking home thinking about what had just happened. 'This is incredible, a secret order, but I can't tell my sister, nor niece. Should I take Marc up on his offer though? Being a Freedom Fighter sounds dangerous.' I thought to myself as I walked home. But as I walked home I noticed a big hole in the living room. I ran into it worried about what might happen to Luna. I was shocked by what I saw when I entered. I was face-to-face with Grimstone Ashenwing. The king of Hell. Worst of all, he had my sister draped over his back. "What are you?"I asked trying to figure out what to do. "My name is Grimstone Ashenwing, and if you want your sister alive, come to this address," Grimstone said. Then he threw a poisoned razor card into my chest. Next thing I saw was Grimstone flying off before I fell asleep from the pain and poison. Then, Marc was standing over me and treating the wound. "Poison. Of course, not enough to kill you, but enough to knock you out for an hour," Marc muttered aloud. "Gotta thank Moon for that training as a doctor some time." "Uhh, what happened?"I asked in pain. "Your sister was kidnapped by a demon king, you were poisoned, and your house was wrecked," Marc answered bluntly and not sugar-coating anything. "Any good news?" I asked dryly "I cured you, fixed your house, and I know where said demon king took Luna," Marc answered honestly with a smile."If there are no further questions, your sister needs rescuing, so come on now. Chop, chop." Marc helped me up and led me to the door, I stopped in front of it confused. "What can I do to help?" I asked. "I don't have magic or fighting skill." "It is your sister, you need to save Luna while I fight Grimstone," Marc answered. Seeing his wisdom I followed Marc out. We drove to a tall rundown building at the outskirts of Canterlot, the strangest part of it though was the front door and hallway, The door was ripped off and there were several vaguely humanoid black bodies littering the hallway and entrance. "Where are we?" I asked. "The old Canterlot safe house for the Assassins Brotherhood," Marc answered. "Oh." I said, "Where's Luna?" "On the roof," Marc answered. "Well, how do we get up there?" I asked. "Is there stairs to the roof?" "I don't remember exactly, but there is another way up," Marc replied. "How?" I asked skeptically. "Ever watch Avatar: The Last Airbender?" Marc asked me. I shook my head. "Well, then you've never heard of Earthbending....." Marc said, then he spread his legs and raised his arms. "....until now." Suddenly the ground shook. cracks formed in the ground around us, and then, we started floating on a square-shaped island of land with jagged edges with a width of 3 yards. Marc then straightened his arms and made circular motions. Marc 'bent' the small island upward to the rooftop. Once we were safe on the roof, Marc placed the island back in the hole where it used to be and mended the cracks. "Why did we not use your sling ring?" I asked annoyed. "A: The look on your face," Marc answered snickering. "And B: I left it at home." "But wait, how'd you get to my house then?" "Excuse me, but can you two shut up!?" Grimstone snapped, drawing the duo's attention. Grimstone stood next to Luna with his skeletal sword, Hellwatcher, drawn. Luna was tied up to a chair, she was beaten and bruised, but alive. "Ashenwing!" Marc called out. "What do you want?!" "Your sword," Grimstine answered. "I told Nebulon already; until his evil is purged, the power of Panorax will never belong to him!" Marc stated. "Fine, if that's how you wish to play this out," Grimstone said smiling, taking up a battle stance. Then Marc pulled out his pen. "A pen?" I asked. "Your fighting that with a pen?!" "Morphicon!" Marc chanted and turned his pen into his trademark sword. "Oh," I said a little surprised. Then the two warriors clashed in an epic duel, neither weakening, neither giving up. "It's been too long since I dueled a worthy opponent," Marc said to himself as Grimstone was pushing his sword against Marc's. I ran towards my sister and went to free her. "Sister...." Luna said weekly. "Luna, wait, let me loose these ropes," I said. Then as I tried to untie the rope, they shocked me. I tried again, but it happened once more. "What happened?" Marc asked as he dodged a blast of blue flames. "The ropes, I think they're enchanted to shock whoever tries to untie them!" I shouted to him as he blasted a golden ray of light. "Well, that complicates things," Marc said while breaking out of a sword lock and creating a Force Maelstrom to push back Grimstone. "Ya think?" I asked angrily. Marc then pulled out a golden dagger and tossed it into my hand. "Use that to cut the bands and free your sister," Marc ordered as Grimstone got back up and attacked Marc. I complied to his orders and started cutting the ropes. Then the ground shook, and an armored figure appeared out of nowhere. He had silver armor that glowed blue-green underneath. "Savitar." Marc shouted, "should have known the speed lord would handle the king of Hell." Then Marc started running lightning-fast, leaving a gold lightning trail behind him. Savitar new what was next so he threw white lightning at Marc, but Marc conducted the lightning with his sword and stopped running. "Wait, wait." Rainbow stopped the story. "You're telling me, Marc has super speed?" Then Marc sighed and started vibrating his hand really fast. "Yes, it happened when Savitar attacked me when in Central City chasing down an evil meta," Marc answered and stopped vibrating his hand. "There's one thing I don't get." Luna said, "how do I not remember all this?" "Amnesia spell." Marc answered. "Do continue Celestia." "Alright..........." "What are you doing?" Savitar asked enraged. "Speed force lightning shock therapy," Marc answered. Then he aimed the sword at Grimstone and fired the lightning at Grimstone and freed his mind. Grimstone growled as he came to his senses and redied Hellwatcher and stood beside Marc. Savitar wanted to stay and fight, but it was not his time yet, so ran off. "Thank you for the save, Kurtzman," Grimstone thanked. "Your welcome and I sprinkled in an encryption spell, that way Neb's hive mind won't plague you anymore," Marc replied, neutral-faced. "Ahem," I said, with Luna unconscious, arm wrapped around my shoulder. "Celestia-Grimtone-Grimstone-Celestia." Marc introduced us. "Pleasure to officially meet you," Celestia said. "Likewise, but if I had my way we would have never met," Grimstone replied. "Uhh."Luna groaned. "Obliviate." Marc said, touching her forehead. "What was that?" I asked. "An amnesia spell." Marc replied. "Oh, so she won't remember this?" I asked. "Unless you tell her," Marc replied. "Wait you're not gonna make me forget?" I asked. "No," He stated. "Why?" I asked confused. "Well, do you wanna join?" Marc asked, extending his hand. I took a minute to consider. "Why?" I asked. "Why should I join?" "Adventure, fun, danger, but the keeper is you will be taught the skill to defend your school and family from the likes of Nebulon and the Darkness Blighters." "Alright," I said shaking his hand. "Then we sent Luna home, Grimstone is in the winds, Savitar is missing, and I trained for decades to get to my skill level." "D-decades?" Luna asked. "Don't worry, Marc sent me to a place outside time so I wouldn't age," Celestia reassured Luna. "It's called the Vanishing Point," Marc said. "Alright, my sister now," Ebony ordered. "Unfortunately, miss Wings, we haven't much time till the next event," Marc said. "But Ivory'll tell you later, now on to the main event. Allons-y!!" Then they all walked to the final event, Melanie in tow. Author's Note End of act II. //-------------------------------------------------------// Nebulass revealed. //-------------------------------------------------------// Nebulass revealed. It was the final event. The sponsors, principals, and the new teacher were lined up on the stage alongside Bane and Slade. Luna and Cadence were explaining the rules like last time, but the Mane 7 and Marc were talking. "So, the final event, huh?" Marc asked."If I remember right, isn't this the point where the boss battle started last time?" Rainbow was about to answer when Crystal did. "It was." Crystal said in an insect-like voice. "Council of Shadow, it is time to complete the mission!!!!" Then a green flame flurried around her. Her eyes became green with black slits, her hair was grasslike and pale green, she had charcoal black skin, she wore a green dress that was like Midnight Sparkle's, only green and black, she had buglike wings, she had razor sharp fangs and claws that were all too familiar to the ex Assassins. "Who is she?" Fluttershy asked. "Crystal List, CrystalList." Marc answered. "Chrysalis, Queen Chrysalis, of Equestria." Then Eobard donned his Reverse-Flash suit, which was yellow with a red lightning bolt insignia on the chest. Kang revealed his costume, Lex donned his green power armor, Red Skull pulled off his face mask, revealing his red, skull-like face, and Darkseid revealed his true form as well. Then Slade got hold of Celestia, Skull got Luna, and Bane got Star Swirl. Yet Bruce, Oliver, Tony, and Ivory got away. "No," Sunset said to herself, for she knew what was coming. Marc walked to the center of the field, yet something oddly familiar appeared in his hand. "Darkseid!!" Marc yelled. "You want me. Let the mortals go!!" "I shan't do that young God of Light," Darkseid said. "I know they are members of your Council of Light." "You lying stone headed despot." Marc yelled in anger, "I'll kill you, agent Shadow, NOW!!!" Then Sombra ran and fired shadow tendrils at Darkseid, whom easily destroyed them with his omega beams. Once Sombra was at his side, Marc asked. "Long live the king, Sombra?" He nodded and said. "Long live the king." "Hey, UNDEROOS!!"Marc yelled thru cupped hands. Then, Boom Tubes, sling-ring portals, and just plain teleportation spells gave way to white-robed figures. The Rainbooms, Wonder Colts, Shadow Bolts, and ex Assassins were shocked by what they saw. Mirror Match, Steel Shine, High Noon, Peirce Network, Frigid Night, and the rest of the bureau side-by-side, wrist blades and favored weapons drawn. "Say hello to the Assassins of the Trottingham bureau," Marc said as the COS(Council Of Shadow) looked overhead. Then, all attention went to the portal as it began to fluctuate. "And Luna's Eclipse guard," Marc said as two rows of Eclipse guard soldiers came out, spear in the right hand, shields in the left. Luna in tow."Glad you made it Luna." "As are we," Luna said. "But truth be told, asking Sunset for her journal to ask for help roused suspension. In fact, the other Princesses, Mane 6, and Shining Armor are following me." "Hmmm, well we might need the help of the victors of Equestria," Marc said. Then the Justice League, Avengers, and Teen Titans showed up and exchanged the same conversation in the vision. Then Darkseid fired on Marc dead on with his omega beams, creating a giant hole in Marc's chest, clean thru the back. "Marc, NOOOO!!!"Sunset yelled as she ran to Marc along with the Mane 7 in tow. "Darkseid!" Superman yelled in anger and tried to attack him, but was stopped by Parademons and Time wraiths that Darkseid summoned. "Marc," Sunset said kneeling over him, tears forming in her eyes. Marc appeared in some sort of starry void. "Oh, fuck, I'm dead!" Marc said annoyed as he pinched the bridge of his nose."And the COS's still at large. It seems shit has really hit the fan." "Hello, Marc," A familiar voice said "Ah, Necarina," Marc said as a woman appeared in front of him. She had golden hair and azure eyes. She wore a golden and blue dress, and she had human white skin, only it glowed gold. "Not dead, Purgatory," Marc said to the Prophet. "Yes, it is not your time though," Necarina said. "Yet there is nothing we can do unless you have a Doctor Who worthy ace in the hole." "No," Sunset said crying over Marc's death. "Wait, what's that in his hand?" Sci-Twi asked. Sunset noticed it and opened Marc's hand. "It's your pendant from the Friendship Games, Sci-Twi," Sunset said. "Well, cue the music then." Marc proclaimed while pretending to turn on the action theme from Doctor Who's victory scenes against villains. "Why?" Necarina asked. "Why and how does he have it?" Twilight asked. "I dunno," Sunset said standing up. "Unless.....Girls, we need to Pony-Up." "Do you know what a Pony-Up is Necarina?" Marc asked her. "The manifestation of Equestrian magic in a human being." "Exactly, and combine that with the seven Elements of Harmony, and my locked magic," Marc said. "Why?" Rainbow asked. "Trust me," Sunset said. Then she summoned the power from her geode to pony-up. Soon the other Girls follow her in the sequence. The display caught everyone's attention. Then the girls donned their costumes from Legend of Everfree. "Stop them!" Darkseid ordered, but he was too late and the pendent opened and conducted the girl's magic and pulled Marc's body in the air and engulfed it in a giant energy sphere. "See ya!" Was all Marc said before leaving purgatory. Out in the real world, Marc came back to life thanks to the Equestrian magic and jumped up from the ground and began floating. "Now, using the power of:" Marc yelled. "Honesty, Loyalty, Laughter, Kindness, Generosity, Magic, and Empathy!" That last bit about Empathy made Sunset confused. 'Empathy? Is that ME!?' Sunset questioned. "I unlock the golden energy of Nebulass!" Marc yelled "MORPHICON!" Then, (at the worst time possible) the Mane 6, other princesses, and Shining Armor came out the portal. After the dizziness and shock passed, (Shining and Rainbow took it worst of them all,) they turned their attention to the center field. "My wings!" Pony Rainbow Dash complained. "My horn!" Pony Shining Armor complained. Marc was engulfed in a golden aura that became skin tight on his body and became blue under armor. Then he extended his left arm and golden dust condensed on it and became golden armor on his forearm and upper arm. He closed his hand and created an armored glove. He then repeated the same with his process with the right. Then he kicked his left leg out and the leg got armored, beginning with the foot and working it's way up to between his legs, he then did the same thing with his right. Then his back, and his torso. Marc then cleared his skin of flaws, turned his eyes and hair gold. Marc then donned a golden helm that was the same build as Doctor Fate's, only a part was cut out to show his mouth and the eye sockets had blue visors. Marc opened his eyes dramatically. "Villains." Marc said in unison with a deep, wise voice that was not his own."The time of your reckoning has arrived." Netflix original Trollhunters dimension. Somewhere in Heartstone Trollmarket. "Good job, Master Jim," Blinky complemented the human Troolhunter while he was training with his friends Toby and Claire. "Thanks, Blinky," Jim said. Then a giant golden pillar shot thru the center of the hall of warriors. "The heck was that?" Toby asked when it passed. "The signal of an ancient power of good more powerful than Daylight returning," Blinky said. Transformers Robots in disguise dimension. Somewhere in the Bee Team base. "Nice to meet you," Jack said to Denny and his son Russel "Likewise," Denny said. "So, you're a mini-con?" Arcee asked Fix-it. "Yes, I bam. Clam. Am!" Fix-it answered. "Cute little guy," Bulkhead said. "If you wish," Optimus said. "My medic can try to fix you." "Thanks, but no banks. Tanks. Thanks!" Fix-it answered, banging his chest to try to correct himself. Then Optimus's chest opened and fired a golden pillar into the air. "Optimus, what was that?" BumbleBee asked when the pillar disappeared. "The foreshadowing of the return of the most powerful being in Cybertronian history," Optimus said. "Nebulass!" Darkseid spat. //-------------------------------------------------------// The final battle(of this book.) //-------------------------------------------------------// The final battle(of this book.) "Kill Nebulass!" Darkseid ordered as he activated his omega beams. Chrysalis fired green magic fire beams. Red Skull fired a few rounds. Kang used a temporal laser. Reverse-Flash used Speedforce lightning. Marc/Nebulass telekinetically redirected the omega beams into the back of Darkseid's head. Nebulass then deflected the green fire away with his sword. The energy bolts from Skull and lighting from Reverse-Flash did hit him head on, but his armor held up! Marc merely dusted off his shoulders with his hands. They didn't even scratch the armor. And the temporal beam was karate chopped by Nebulas and was split in two. Seeing they couldn't do this alone, the sponsors opened boom tubes to summon WWII HYDRA minions. Templar soldiers. Parademons. Kang's minions. Ninja from the League of Assassins in their uniforms from Arrow, black robes with hoods and veils. Changelings. And Vampires. Nebulass held up his hand and closed his fist. His army and summoned superheroes all charged into battle and all hell broke loose. The Assassins cut down the Templars with Steel Shine ponying up and leading the charge. The Avengers attacked HYDRA agents and Kang's men. The League and Titans attacked the Parademons and League of Assassins. The Eclipse guard got the Vamps and Changelings. Soon the mercs joined the fight. Allowing Celestia to get the other principals to safety. "YOU! SHALL! NOT! WIN! VILLAINS!" Star Swirl said getting his staff from a pocket dimension and using sunlight spells on Dracula and his minions. Celestia was making sure her students got in the school safely before joining the fight herself, getting out a short sword and gun. Ebony was pondering what to do about her double while watching her fight Nebulass. "Do it." Said a voice behind her, she jumped back in shock and slashed with her nails. "Ow." Said Marc, which was who she just clawed. He touched the gash in his cheek and said; "that'll take a bit to heal." "What, I thought you were fighting-"Ebony began to say when Marc cut her off. "Your double?" Marc asked. "I am, but why limit myself to one body? Besides I need your assistance Queen Chrysalis." "What can I do?" Ebony said. "You are a God." "Yes, but I need you to fight Chryssie so I can fight Dork-side," Marc stated, pointing to the new god. "Fine." Ebony caved in. "But how do you know we won't team up?" "Honor, family, humility, morality," Marc said. "Things you have learned over the centuries she hasn't. Also, you owe me." "Fine." She said. "Good, oh, and take this," Marc said giving her the same charcoal-obsidian necklace rune Mirror has. "What's that?" Ebony asked. "It'll give you your double's magic, now go behind the bleachers, put that on, change and kick ass," Marc said before evaporating. "Nebulass, you seem distracted," Chrysalis said while slashing at Marc, keeping him on the ropes. Splitting one mind between bodies is.......straining. "Just putting all my cards on the table," Marc said, then he stabbed her in the leg, with his mind whole once more. "Fuck!" Chrysalis cursed as Nebulass removed the sword and it revealed green blood dripping from the lower left leg. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, language," Marc said while waving his finger. Then he punched her to the ground in front of the statue. "Chrysalis!" Princess Twilight asked in shock. "You!" Chrysalis said in anger. "Don't try it!" A familiar voice said behind her. Chrysalis turned round to see: herself. "What are you doing?" Chrysalis hissed. "I'm not entirely sure, I just know I can't bear to see myself stoop so low." EQG Chrys said. "Well, your hive wasn't taken from you by a traitor!" Chrysalis yelled. "Well, maybe there wouldn't have been a traitor if you were a better queen!" Chrys countered. Then she was knocked out from behind and her body crumpled on the ground. "Your welcome." Peirce Network said, holding his gun by the silencer. "How are you still alive?!" Chrys asked in anger. "Resurrected by Nebbie over there," Peirce said pointing his phone at Nebulass. "Look out!" Pierce yelled. Then he fired two shots that caused Chrys to leap out of the way, but the bullets hit two Vampires that were planning on attack Chrys from behind. "Y-you saved me?" Chrys asked confused."Why?" "Honor," Peirce said simply cocking his gun. "Wanna join the real fight?" "Sure," Chrys said. "Well, it seems this is problematic," Melanie said. "SHIELD WALL!" Princess Luna ordered as her men created a shield wall to stop a barrage of Changeling fire, then Chrys helped stop the evil Changelings. Star Swirl walked over to Luna. "Hello, agent Sorcery," Luna said to the wizard. "Agent Night." Star Swirl said. "A-are you THE Star Swirl the Bearded?" An over giddy Sunset asked running from some Parademons. "Yes, now DUCK!" Star Swirl answered. Then Sunset ducked as Star Swirl vaporized the Parademons with some fireballs."Autograph later." "Okay," Sunset said. The army was easily defeated. Everyone who could fly got the flyers. Everyone else got everyone else. It was like the scenes from both Avengers movies army battles. Only more epic. "Surrender."Marc said to the villains. "Never." Darkseid spat. "It's over, Darkseid!" Superman proclaimed. "Good has one this day!" Thor added. "And evil has failed!" Steel Shine finished. "Fine," Darkseid caved in but muttered under his breath. "Hell will catch up to you anyway." "Good." Marc said. "Now to reverse this disaster." Then the COS and their army disappeared. "What happened to them?" Sci-Twi asked. "Nebulass has removed their Universes from ours, so the went along with their dimensions," Marc answered. Pretty soon, the heroes went as well. "Well, that wrapped up nicely," Pinkie said. Then the girls saw their doubles walk forward. "Excuse me," Princess Twi said. "But what just happened?" Marc then sighed and recounted what happened and explained everything. All he got was a dumbfounded mane 6 and royalty that decided to go home and Luna promised to explain once that went home. About an hour passed and everyone headed home. "Well," Marc said. "See ya tomorrow?" "Yer leaving?" Applejack asked. "Till tomorrow," Marc answered simply. "Alright." And Marc popped away. "Ahem," Celestia said walking over with Sombra. "We have another Wondercolt." "Hi, guess who's joining CHS?" Sombra said excitedly. "Wait, what?" Velvet asked confused."I thought you're going to CPA." "I was, but I've been planning to join for a while." "I don't see why not." Applejack shrugged. "Plus, your knowledge would be incredibly useful," Sci-Twi said. "Fine." Velvet caved in. Then grinned "welcome to the team." Then they all walked home. //-------------------------------------------------------// Epilogue //-------------------------------------------------------// Epilogue It was very dark in the library of Marc Wayne Kurtzman. He was reading over the past Nebulass's and his Codexes, trying to learn all he can about Sunset Shimmer and the prophecy. "Gorramit!" Marc said in failure as he threw a Codex across the room. "All these codexes reach the same conclusion about Shimmer!" "And what is that milord?" Sunday, Marc's personal AI asked. "That destiny is inescapable for Sunset Shimmer," Marc stated. "Elaborate," Sunday said. "That her destiny as The Phoenix Warrior, her destiny as the wielder of the Sword of Two Suns, as the Element of Empathy, and as my...." The sentence died in his throat. "As your what Marc?" Sunday half-asked half-coaxed. "My....successor, which also means my death. My.......destruction." Marc answered grimly. "Oh. Why must she take up such a mantle?" Sunday asked with sympathy "Because she is the Element of Empathy," Marc stated getting up and walking towards a stone carving hung on his wall. "She is the Daydream Phoenix. The user of the Sword of Two Suns. And the next Nebulass!" Marc put his hand on the carving, depicting Sunset as Daydream Shimmer holding a broadsword with her cutie mark on the hilt. And she along with the Mane 7 and Mane 6 channeling their Elements thru Daydream as she's running Nebulon thru. With Marc's dead body falling to the Earth. And Sci-Twi using Shadow magic against the Girls. And on the top is a monstrous figure rising from Limbo. "I'd pray to God, but then I'd just be talking to myself," Marc said. You fools!" Nebulon said enraged by the COS's report. "B-but sir." Melanie tried to reason but was too terrified. That's the thing about Nebulon, you know how Ares spreads rage like a plague? Nebulon spreads fear, that and he can do it at will. Even if you were the most steel-nerved, hardened, fearless person on the planet, he would have you whimpering like a dog in minutes if you get him angry, and right now, he was PISSED as HELL! "Not only did you fail to bring me the Sword." Nebulon said. "But you allowed NEBULASS TO REAWAKEN AND THE WHEELS OF THE PROPHECY TO START TURNING!" "Well, milord." Red Skull tried to say, but he was cut off. "Never mind. I've no idea why I brought you together in the first place." Nebulon said. "Obliviate." Then everything about Nebulon, the COS being together, and the Darkness Blighters was removed from the COS. Nebulon waved his hand and returned them home. "Get me, Commander Tempest."Nebulon ordered into a holo-phone. "I have a mission for her." The End? Author's Note I know this all seems rushed but this is my first fimfic, So gimme a break, but I promise to do better in the sequel if ya read it.
