Chapters Like a Fox in Ponies' World
"No job is bad, bad is having to work."
I sighed slightly as the little pony happily sucked on one of my nipples, being rewarded by a small flow of milk. I held her with one hand while using the other to gently pet her head. A million thoughts were raging around in my mind, but the most important one was voiced.
“What am I gonna do with you…” I said to little Nightmare. I was of course ignored as she kept sucking from my breast, intent on getting her belly full with the delicious milk. Despite everything, I couldn't help but smile at the little black winged unicorn (I think I caught the term 'Alicorn' in passing from the other ponies) I was holding. Once a feared villain intent on plunging the world in eternal night, now a helpless little foal in need of someone to look after her.
By the time I stopped my train of thought, she had finally stopped her constant sucking and took her mouth out of my breast, letting off a cute little burp. I chuckled and once again donned my bra, shirt and coat before just sitting there with the ex-villain in my arms, humming a tune that made the foal coo in delight as my mind turned back to when I found her minutes ago.
I stood there for a good thirty seconds as my brain short circuited from the sheer lack of logic of what I was seeing. Wasn't Nightmare vaporized from the Rainbow Kamehameha? How the heck is she still alive? And so small for that matter!? That and other questions I had were put in the backburner as Nightmare continued to cry. Unsure of what to do, I approached and tried to calm her down.
"U-um... There there, don't cry anymore, the rainbow is not gonna hurt you..."
It was a little awkward to pick her up because of my melons, but I managed and started rocking her back and forth. That only worked for a few seconds before she went back to crying. I tried singing, playing, and even making funny faces at her, but she kept crying. I was becoming frantic, my classes on how to take care of a baby slipping from my mind at the moment. I would have started to panic had my ears not caught another sound amidst the crying.
*growl*
"Oh. OH!! You're hungry, aren't you? Stupid me, that's what I should have checked first..." I slapped my forehead with a free hand and dragged it down my muzzle. I sighed slightly, glancing around the room before frowning and looking back down at mini-Nightmare. "How am I gonna feed you though? There's no fridge in here with soft foods, and I don't know where to get milk..."
I paused as a muted flash happened between me and Nightmare. I blinked for a moment before my breasts suddenly felt heavier. My eyes widened before I shakily took off my coat, shirt and bra and brought a hand up, giving one of them a little squeeze. I let out a small gasp as a trail of white liquid began to run down from my nipple. My brain once again short circuited. Nightmare took this opportunity to crawl closer and latch on my breast with her mouth and begin sucking. I came out of my stupor and blinked at her, so unsure of what to do, I lifted her in my arms to make it easier for her to have her fill.
And that brings me to right now. I shook my head and looked at the foal in my arms. “I guess you're not the same Nightmare, are you?” I asked her, and she giggled and babbled what sounded like ‘mommy!’.
I sighed once again. I really should have seen that coming. Though a small part of me surprisingly didn't mind it. Back on earth, when I was still a he, I entertained the thought of adopting, since no one had accepted to be my special someone when asked. They always wanted only a one time fling. I always declined. So I eventually gave up looking for love. Friends never encouraged or dissuaded me from that thought, since most of them were online friends that I only saw when we had our "Gaming Night Party", which is where I tended to get wasted after hours of Video Games. But the desire to have children never left though. Who would have thought that dream would be fulfilled in another world? With that in mind, I knew what to do.
“Don't worry little one, mommy will take good care of you. I promise to do everything in my power to make sure you grow up to be happy instead of the villain you once were. Though we need a new name for you.”
I looked her over. Her shining dark fur reminded me of the blackness of space. And her ethereal mane, just like the night sky. So a name that is night related would be best. I let out ‘Hmm’ before smiling as the perfect name came to mind.
“From now on, your name is Selene Dreemurr.”
It's been three weeks. I have been living mostly off of some fruits I find in the forest and small animals I hunt, using a knife I conjured, since most of the food I tried bringing to existence tasted blander than toast without butter. So glad I didn't try to conjure something for Selene to eat at that moment. She would barf all over me. Speaking of Selene, I noticed how she was aging faster than normal. She can now speak simple words and form small sentences, however disconnected they were, so I took it upon myself to teach her personally how to speak. It was very slow progress. And whatever seemed to be making her age this fast, was slowing down. Call it a feeling, but I somehow knew it would stop next week.
In another matter, one night I woke up when something smacked me in the face. Looking around and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I spotted a book laying on my lap. Curiously picking it up, I looked it over. The title read "A Guide to Kitsunes' Magic, by C.S.P." The sheer coincidence of this specific book smacking me in the face made me slightly suspicious that there were bigger powers behind my coming to this world, after all, there was nothing close to my bed from where the book could have fallen from. I put it out of my mind for the moment, storing the book away in a backpack I conjured some days ago and went back to sleep.
Life in the forest was uneventful, and admittedly, a little boring. The routine was wake up, go out and search for breakfast, feed Selene, brush teeth (with toothbrush and toothpaste I conjured), play with Selene until it's time for her nap, look for lunch, play again, look for dinner, clean Selene's mess, bath, put Selene to sleep, go to sleep myself, rise, rinse and repeat. It was drilled into my mind. Me and Selene couldn't keep going like this, I need proper supplies to take care of her and a real place to stay. So, it was with that thought in mind, that I now was standing in front of the town where I first appeared in, with Selene peeking over my shoulder from inside my open backpack.
"Well Selene... Let's get this over with." I stated and casually strolled into town.
"Over with!" Selene repeated with a giggle.
I received a lot of stares while walking, some curious, some fearful, and some confused. The confused ones where probably because of my physics defying tails. I sometimes even forget about those, since despite being as long as I am tall, they don't seem to weigh anything, and constantly float behind me as if I was underwater, unless I try using them to do anything. It's like I have three reserve hands, really useful. I really love my tails.
Speaking of my tails, I felt something someone, or rather, somePONY running a hoof through one of them. Looking down I smiled seeing a young grey coated filly with a two tone blue mane looking fascinated by my appendage. I giggled, which brought her attention up to me. Her eyes were mismatched, one being a crimson red while the other was ocean blue. Cool contrast.
"Hi there, little one. Do you like my tails?" I asked with a smile.
She nodded eagerly. "Yeah! They are so soft! And the floaty thing they do is so cool!"
"Thank you. I take really good care of them. I'm Samantha by the way, and this here" I point at Selene who was looking at the filly curiously. "is my daughter Selene."
Selene smiled and waved to the filly. "Hi!"
"Nice to meet you! My friends call me Blaze!" She smiled wide, which gave me pause as I noticed the tiny fangs in her mouth. Must be a subspecies or something. Ignoring that, I ruffled the filly's mane.
"Nice to meet you too Blaze. Do you know where I can find the leader of this town?" I decided to ask, since I didn't exactly know where to go.
"You mean Mayor Mare? She must be in Town Hall!" Blaze said and pointed where I needed to go.
"Thank you, Blaze. I'll be on my way now. See you around."
So with one last smile I departed, watching the filly scamper off, probably back to her parents. While she was going, I noticed how her wings were bat like. Ah, she must be the same species as Selene then, with the exception of the horn, which she doesn't have. Ah, I love children. Their innocence, their curiousity, their imagination... Childhood is a precious time, one that must be enjoyed to the max.
During my walk, I saw how most of the stares I received morphed into smiles, seems the town approves of how I handle their youngsters, which was welcome in my part. Some even waved happily to me, and a Pegasus even stopped to make funny faces at Selene. Their memory must be really short term if they can't recognize the one that tried to plunge the world in eternal darkness, but I'm not complaining.
A few minutes later, I arrived at Town Hall. Apparently it's in the exact middle of town, and to be honest? I have no fucking clue how I missed this big building while running out of town. Maybe I was too busy trying to get my ass out of there to notice this huge thing behind me.
Sexual jokes aside, I pushed the door open, this time being careful to duck so as to not smack my face again. It was slightly frustrating now that I realized I would have to do that a lot here (either everything is too small or I'm too big. I would say a mix of both). Looking around, I spotted the receptionist behind her desk with a bored face. Approaching, I cleared my throat to get her attention. She looked up... And up, and up, before her gaze settled for longer than necessary on my chest. I rose an amused eyebrow at that.
"Eyes up here, dear." I said, making her look at my face in confusion before she realized that she was staring, taking a moment to regain her composture before addressing me properly.
"Good afternoon, miss. What can I help you with?" She asked in a professional tone, completely ignoring her earlier attitude, and not even offering an apology. Rude. But I was not about to be too, after all, I would do the same in her position.
"I would like to see Mayor Mare, I need a job and a place to stay."
"Oh, sure thing. She's not busy right now, so go right ahead."
"Thank you."
The Mayor was a surprisingly nice and understanding pony, after explaining how I wasn't from around here and in need of money to rent a place to stay, she said I could have the unoccupied home on the outskirts of town, tough I would have to vacate the place if a buyer appeared. She also gave me a map of the town and pointed out that there was a small business looking for help. I thanked her and exited the Town Hall, deciding to walk around before going to check out my possible new workplace. As I was doing that, I spotted a yellow pony with a light pink mane leading a group of ducks through town, tough as she was walking backwards, she tripped on one of my tails accidentally. I reacted fast, making my other two tails catch her before she could hit the ground.
"Are you okay there? Thankfully I managed to catch you before you fell." I said, turning to the pony.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to trip on your tail, but I was just so distracted helping my little duck friend and-"
I stopped her by scratching behind her ear. "Hey, it's alright. You didn't mean it, and my tail wasn't hurt or anything."
She gasped at first as she felt my hand on her head before leaning on my ministrations and letting out a- wait, is she purring? Aww, that's adorable! Ponies are part cat then? This is useful information for later. Anyway, now that I am having a good look at her, it occurred to me that she is one of the ponies I saw back on the castle the day I arrived here. I decided to make sure anyway. Taking my hand away from her head, I had to fight down the urge to giggle as she nuzzled it a moment longer before catching herself and looking away in embarrassment.
"Say, weren't you one of the ponies I saw back in the old castle?" I asked, making sure to lower myself closer to the ground to make me seem less threatening, she seems like the shy type after all.
"O-oh, now I remember you! You're that strange creature we were looking for back then when you walked out of the room..." She said, looking like she was deep in thought. "What are you anyway? I-if you don't mind me asking..."
God, that there is dangerous levels of cuteness. A little more, and it will cause diabetes on poor me.
"Well dear, I am a Kitsune. I am not from these parts, so you wouldn't see many of my kind going around. My name is Samantha, and this here" I indicated to the foal on my shoulder. "is my daughter Selene. May I have your name as well?" I asked with a smile.
"O-oh, I'm Fluttershy..."
Even with my improved hearing, I had to strain to hear what she said. Poor girl could use some confidence classes. I might consider helping her in that regard when I have finally settled down. Might be good to have her as an acquaintance. Yes, I said acquaintance and not friend, friends are not easy to make, it takes effort that I'm not willing to go through right now, so I'll settle for the second best option.
"Well it's nice to meet you, miss Fluttershy. I would love to continue this chat but I have to go now, I am new to town you see, so I am looking for work, and I happened to hear there was a music store that is in need of help, so I'm heading over there."
"Oh, I'm sorry for taking your time..." She apologized.
"Nah, it's alright. Now, I believe we both should be on our way. See you around, okay?" I said standing back up.
She nodded and was about to walk off with the ducks when a griffin bumped into her. A FRICKIN' GRIFFIN. I swear magical pony land is doing everything it can to drive me nuts. I watched the scene in front of me as Fluttershy apologized to the griffin, who only seemed to get more angry. When she (it looks like a she) took a deep breath to scream at Fluttershy, I knew I had to step in. So, I approached her from behind and wrapped one of my tails around her head, muffling her screa- wait, that wasn't a scream. That was a ROAR! She was going to roar at Fluttershy for no motive! She may not be my friend, but I'm not just going to let something like that happen.
It took the griffin some seconds to notice my tail muffling her roar, and when she stopped to look up at me, I spoke with a heavy frown.
"Is there a problem here?"
She pulled my tail off her face with a talon. "What is it to you, dweeb? And what the feather are you supposed to be?"
'What the feather'? Is that the griffin version of what the fuck? Would be pretty weird then when two griffins are in bed and say 'Let's feather now.' Oh god, that metal image is forever burned intomy mind...
"I am a Kitsune thank you very much. As for what is with me, I don't take kindly to jerks like you treating other beings bad for no reason. She apologized to you and wanted to ROAR at her!? That is a major level of jerkness." I stated with crossed arms.
She only scoffed. "That's none of your business! I do whatever I want to those dweebs, you freak!"
The temperature suddenly dropped as my eye twitched.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" I asked with an overly sweet smile. Selene herself burrowed deep into my backpack and zipped it up.
"What, didn't hear me? I'll repeat it then! Freak-"
I don't know exactly what happened, it was as if my body went into autopilot, I watched as my hand shot up and grabbed the griffin by the throat, her desperately clawing at my arm to make me let go. I didn't feel anything. She was then brought up to my face as my mouth opened and words started dropping out, a dangerous tone to them.
"At least I am not the failed lovechild of a feline and a birdbrain. But you know, my kind is very fond of feline meat, the same as bird meat. I wonder what they taste like together?" I was answered by more frantic clawing. "Hmm, how about a deal? Play nice with the ponies, or else I am gonna invite you to a nice barbecue, but not as a guest, if you catch my drift. Am I clear?" She nodded frantically and I let her go, watching as she took off flying. I finally regained control and noticed how I was receiving lots of stares. I shrugged and looked at Fluttershy.
"Hey, you okay?"
"W-where you really serious about what you said?"
"About bird meat? Yeah. The rest was just to make sure she wouldn't try that again." I answered as truthfully as I could, and it actually was truth. Any other meat that wasn't pig, cow or chicken never tasted right to me. During my time in the forest, I had to either suck it up or become vegetarian. You can tell what my choice was.
"Oh, thank goodness... A-also, you didn't need to help me..."
"Nonsense. I wasn't about to let her be a jerk to someone as nice as you."
"O-oh... Thank you then, miss Samantha." She gave a small smile. So cute. Hnnng.
"No problem, and call me Sam. Well, I better get going, see ya Fluttershy." I waved as I walked away. Though as I did, a thought swirled around in my mind.
What the hell was that?
I had eventually found the music store. An interesting place called 'Classical Wubs' . It sold vinyls, instruments, sound equipment, besides other things. Pretty cool. Pushing the door open and ducking inside, I spotted a pony at the cash register, she had a white coat and electric blue mane, she was wearing a pair of purple glasses, which she lifted up to rub her eyes when she saw me, letting me catch a glimpse of her crimson red eyes. I have seen some clear differences between mares and stallions (if I got the terms right), so it's easy for me to guess now.
"Uh, can I help you with something?" She asked, looking up at me.
"Yes. I was in search of a job, and heard you're hiring. I am interested, if you don't mind." I said with a nod. She let out an 'Ah' of understanding, her horn glowing as she lowered her glasses back down. Neat, wonder if I can do that?
"Yeah, me and my friend need someone to substitute us in the shop, since we sometimes can't be here. All you need to do is help the customers find what they want, and make sure they pay the correct amount. Pretty standard stuff, kinda boring sometimes." She waved a hoof around to indicate her point. So she and her friend are the owners, huh? If I'm reading the context right, she is the techno type, wbile her friend is the classical one. There's no questioning my logic.
"I see. Yeah, I can do that, because as my grandfather once said, 'No job is bad, bad is having to work.'" I said with a chuckle.
She let out a chuckle too before looking me up and down. "Say, if you don't mind me asking, who are you and what species you are? You don't exactly look like a minotaur to me..." Seems this is gonna become a trend... Also, minotaurs are real here too? What's next, dragons? Centaurs? A sphinx!? Shaking myself off of my mental tangent, I adressed the pony in front of me.
"Well, that's because I'm not a minotaur. My name is Samantha, or Sam. As for what I am, I'm a Kitsune."
She seemed to be deep in thought before shaking her head. "Nope, never heard of that species. Anyway, nice to meetcha Sam, name's Vinyl Scratch, but some ponies call me by my stage name, DJ PON-3."
"Nice to meet you too Vinyl. So, when do you think I could start working here?"
She put a hoof to her chin and thought it over. "Come back tomorrow at three, my friend might be there by that time so we can discuss the terms of you employment."
"Alright, thanks Vinyl. I'll be there." I held out my hand, which she met with a hoof and we shook.
"See ya around Sam." She waved as I turned and exited the music shop.
"See ya, Vinyl."
Alright, now to check that house.
A few hours of exploration later, I was now standing in front of my new residence. It was a nice one store with a small grassy area out front and a big fenced backyard. It was quite nice, it reminded me of my late granny's house, may her soul rest in peace.
Planning to check out the inside, I was about to enter when I noticed a note tapped to the door. Curiously picking it up, I read it over, noticing how it was the invitation for a party. Whoever put this here, must have thought there was someone living here, since there's NO way they knew I was coming, right? Rolling it up and throwing it behind me, I shuddered as if I had done something I would regret later.
Shrugging off the weird feeling, I unlocked the door with the keys the Mayor game me and pushed the door open, being hit in the face by a mountain of dust. Hacking and coughing, it took me a moment to recover before I looked over the place again. God, so dirty... Setting my backpack down, Selene peeked out in time to see me conjure multiple cleaning supplies.
"Cleany cleany!" She clapped her hooves happily.
I smiled. "Yes sweetie, mommy is gonna clean this place for us."
Looking around, I couldn't help the sigh that escaped me. This could take a while.
LATER...
Three hours. Three fucking hours of cleaning. My arms and legs are burning, no scratch that, my entire body is burning. Even my ass. But surprisingly, not my tails. I managed to use them to reduce the cleaning time a lot. But it still took too long though, it was already dark out.
I sighed and went to my backpack, taking out the container which stored the leftovers of today's lunch. Two apples and some meat. I really hope Vinyl can give me an advance payment so I can buy food. Though I guess I'll have to still rely on the forest for meat, since the stalls I saw through town only sold fruits and vegetables. Makes sense, those are ponies. Ponies are herbivore by nature. Really hope I won't have to entirely give up on eating meat, even more now that I am part fox. I mean, Kitsunes are part fox, right? Or was it part wolf? Gah, should have paid more attention to the anime.
After eating, I picked Selene and my backpack, walking to one of the rooms. I put my backpack beside the door and cunjured a bed with a pillow and mattresses. Sitting down on it, I took off my coat, lifted my shirt and undid my bra before picking Selene up again.
"Dinner time, sweetie."
"Milky!" She exclaimed happily before latching onto one of my breasts and sucking eagerly, soon being rewarded by a constant flow of milk.
Stroking her mane, which was still surprisingly cool to the touch, I took the moment to think about everything that happened up until now. You know, I seem to actually be taking all this pretty well. I mean, I lost my old home, my species, and even my gender. By all accounts, I should be going crazy right now. Honestly, if it wasn't for Selene, I guess I would be. It is my responsibility to be there for her, so I need to set a good example (regardless of my... 'performance', with that griffin. Thank god she didn't see that). Is this what being a parent feels like? It's so... Nice. Makes me feel all fuzzy and happy when I see her smile. I like this feeling.
After a while, she finished feeding with one cute burp. I giggled before putting my bra back on, deciding to sleep in my underwear once again. I laid in bed and pulled the covers over myself before dropping my tails over Selene, humming a little tune for her. It was the same one my mother hummed to me when I was younger and before I moved away to my own home. Soon, Selene was fast asleep with a little smile on her face. I smiled too.
"I guess this place isn't gonna be so bad after all. As long as I have you here with me, Selene." I planted a gentle kiss on her forehead as I slowly drifted off to dreamland too. "Goodnight, my dear daughter."
I heard her shift closer to me and mumble in her sleep.
"I wuv you, mommy..."
I can definitely get used to that.
Author's Note
Argh, my brain is burning! This is my longest chapter yet, in any of my stories!
The reason of why I skipped the interaction with the Mayor is just that, the chapter was already big enough as it was. If I could skip some more, I definitely would.
Also, third appearance of my OC Blaze in my stories, this time as an extra character. Still considering if she is gonna be only in bits and pieces or if she is gonna be a constant character here. I would like to hear your thoughts on that.
Yes, I skipped from episode two to episode five. In this story, I'm gonna try my best to make Sam not be involved in the episodes, except for some key ones. No, I won't reveal which ones, since I haven't decided yet.
Have suggestions, spotted errors, or want your OC in the story? Please comment, your opinion is welcome!
If this story reach fifteen likes, I'm gonna do a comment driven chapter, so keep your eyes on that metter!
This CroisSunnyPlay, out! Have some bread~
Like a Fox in Ponies' World
So, on the next day, I met with Vinyl's friend and fellow owner of Classical Wubs, Octavia Melody. She was a grey pony with a dark grey mane and grayish mulberry colored eyes. Her flank tatoo was apparently a musical note, a treble clef I guess.
Oh yes, that's a thing I noticed about these ponies. Almost all of them, except for the really young ones and the odd one or two adults, seemed to have pictures imprinted on both sides of their flanks. I wonder if those are painted on? Nah, if that was the case, then they would have to paint it again after bathing, making and absolute mess on their fur. I should know, my neighbor was complaining another day how her dog was rolling around on fresh paint. It apparently took her two hours to wash the dog.
Octavia was surprisingly nice, even though she had this air of upper class about her, she still carried that rural feeling everyone in this town has. The three of us agreed the terms of my employment. I would work six days a week, with Sunday being my day off. My shift starts at nine in the morning and lasts until six in the afternoon, with a one and a half hour break. I could, however, stay for some more time when my shift ended if I so desire, since they are going to give me a copy of the key, and I would be paid a sum of fifty bits a week. When I asked if those "bits" were their currency, they presented me with a golden coin. I'll admit my jaw dropped at that. When they asked why I was so surprised, I told them that where I come from, gold is very valuable, so instead we used paper for money. That made THEM surprised. If gold was so common here, how are precious gems treated? Anyway, I also asked if I could bring Selene with me to work, since I had no one to leave her with. They agreed as long as she didn't break anything, which I knew wouldn't be a problem. She was surprisingly well behaved for an infant.
We agreed that I would start working tomorrow, since I'm really in need of the money. They even gave me an advance payment of a hundred bits so I could buy supplies for me and Selene. I thanked them for their generosity, and after they gave me a copy of the key for the store, I started my walk home. Selene was asleep, so I had time to buy some things. While buying fruits, vegetables and some snacks, I noticed how some ponies were a little nervous in my presence, probably because of the stunt I pulled with the griffon, but I assured them I was just defending Fluttershy. That put them at ease. They also agreed why I didn't come for the parties, to which I asked what parties, and they told me that apparently there was one on the day before yesterday for a new arrival to the town, and one yesterday to try to cheer up the griffon. I shrugged and said I wasn't much for large parties. The ones I had with my friends was more of a get together. After that, I returned home and decided to start reading the book that fell on me that night. I discovered some interesting pieces of information.
Firstly, Kitsunes apparently used to exist in this world, thousands of years in the past. They mostly kept to themselves, so conflict with them was mostly non-existent. However, if conflict did happen, the enemy would have a hard time fighting them, since Kitsunes used a more powerful form of Chaos Magic called Will Magic, allowing them to bring even their most wild dreams to reality, but one needed to have a trained mind to be able to use it. Pausing on that tidbit of information, I decided to put it to test. So, bringing my hands in front of me, I tried something I once saw on a Undertale animation. The room around me seemed to fade as I willed my SOUL to appear. In a few seconds, I was staring at a multicolored heart floating over my hands, the colors gently shifting and changing. I was amazed, not only did it work, but my SOUL would indicate that I apparently am a Boss Monster! Smiling at that, I dismissed my SOUL and the room went back to normal.
TRAIT UNLOCKED: Monster Magic (Undertale Universe)
SOUL Manifestation Non-combat ability. Brings forth one's SOUL, for whatever purpose they want. Can also be used to see others' SOULS.
I blinked as these words appeared in my vision. It was like... "Oh! I think I get it now. Since I wasn't a Kitsune before, my brain is trying to come up with a way to interpret all of this about my abilities. I guess it settled on treating this like a video game, where I'll unlock more abilities the more I learn about them. Traits must be what the abilities of one Universe are then, and the learn rate must be the difficulty I'll have to learn them... That's nice. Hmm, I wonder..." I said with a hand on my chin. I went to mine and Selene's room and found her sleeping peacefully on our bed. I smiled before using one of Undertale's most useful ability.
Selene Dremurr
Former villain, now an innocent filly with no memories of what she did before becoming like this. Loves her new mommy.
It works! I can actually use a Judgement!
Judgment Shows a target's most basic stats. Powerful magic users can negate this ability if they know what you are doing.
That's cool. I went back to the living room and kept reading after that. That was when I reached the part about the limitations of Will Magic. For example, no matter how easy in theory one ability is, it is possible that I could suffer from side effects if I try to use it with no practice. That meant no SAVE/LOAD or RESET, not that I would want to use them anyway. That doesn't seem so bad... According to the book, side effects could include from slight pain, to open wounds suddenly appearing on the body, and even mental damage. Okay, THAT sounds downright scary. Guess I'll just stick to simple abilities for now. Continuing on, I found the section that explained the ability I have been using up until now.
Conjuration, the abily to bring things to existence. Apparently, it is very similar to Alchemy, but instead of demanding an equivalent exchange of materials to create said thing, Conjuration uses thoughts infused with some Will Magic to do it. The bigger and the more things you bring to existence, the more magic you will have to use, so one would have to have a big mana pool in order to, for example, create furniture for a two store house. Thankfully, Kitsunes are born with large mana pool, which only grows the more they train their magic. So, I'll have an easier time to use different abilities the bigger my mana pool is, eh? For now I think I'll stick with the simpler ones. Maybe in the future I'll try something else.
Of course, even Conjuration has its limitations. For example, the food I tried to create, it tasted bland and flavorless. Why? Because I didn't know a way to convey the flavor of the food in my thoughts, and I doubt I'll learn that anytime soon. Thankfully, I like to cook. Also, I couldn't bring living creatures to existence. One would have to be God for that, or a very mad and brilliant scientist. Why, I remember reading somewhere a story where character that built a living flamethrower!* Anyway, if I tried bringing living things, they would be an empty puppet with the likeness of the person I thought, and nothing more.
As soon as I finished reading that part, I heard the little clip-clop of hooves on the wooden floor, and looked up to see Selene walking into the living room. I had to pause and contain my urge to laugh at the scene in front of me. A barely awake Selene with her ethereal mane floating in four different directions. Talk about bed head. I closed the book and put it away to continue reading later, and motioned for her to join me on the couch. Oh yes, I have conjured some of the basic furniture for us, couch, table, chairs, a bookshelf (that is empty for now), and even a refrigerator. I wonder how electricity works in this place, they seem more like medieval era to me, but I'm not complaining. I felt tired afterwards, but the feeling went away a few hours later. She jumped on my lap and curled up, and I snapped my fingers, creating a hair brush and proceeding to make her mane not look like Medusa's.
When I was just about to finish, there was a knock at the door. "Huh, who could it be? I'm not waiting for anyone..." I placed Selene on the ground and created some blocks for her to play with in the meantime, before standing up and walking to the door. Thankfully, this one wasn't so small, meaning I didn't need to duck to enter or exit. Opening the door, I looked around before a blast of confetti hit me on the face. It came from a weird wagon in front of my house.
"Hi!" Said a high pitched and annoying voice. I looked down to see the pink pony I saw back on the old castle, with an unnaturally large smile. "I'm Pinkie Pie-"
slam
I slammed the door on her face and went back to Selene. I was about to sit down when another knock sounded. Sighing, I went back to the door and opened it. It was that same pink pony again!
"You closed the door before I finished, silly! I was saying that-"
SLAM!!!
I once again slammed the door went back to the couch. Thankfully, she would get the message that I didn't want anything.
*knock knock knock*
My eye twitched. The room seemed to grow darker as I went back to the door and sloooowly creaked it open. I had on a smile as large as her's, but mine twitched ever so slightly.
"Look, I'm not interested in buying anything, okay? So if you would please, stop knocking and kindly leave my property, I would appreciate that." I spoke in a strained voice. She looked at me confused.
"But I'm not a-"
"I am not interested. " I intoned. She gulped and nodded frantically, taking her wagon and taking off back to town. I sighed and took some deep breaths to calm down, subsequently making the room go back to normal. I closed the door and went back to the couch with no interruptions this time.
"Damn salesponies..."
A few minutes after that, I decided to go with Selene to the park I saw on the map. It was quite a nice an quiet place. When we arrived, we instantly spotted Blaze running around. I let Selene run off to play with her as long as she stayed within my sight. I found a bench nearby and sat down to relax, enjoying the breeze on my fur. I have conjured some more clothes for myself, and right now I'm wearing dark blue pants that were slightly torn at the knees, a light green shirt and a dark red jacket with a hoodie. Again, all the clothes fit me perfectly.
I watched Blaze and Selene play fought each other. They would pounce and roll around, giggling all the way. It was like watching two puppies. I giggled at the rather accurate comparison. Ponies are part cat and now part dog too? If this keeps up I'll get diabetes.
I was just lazing on the bench as I contemplated things. One of them was the multiverse theory. If this is a different universe, and I was transported here, would I be able to get back? I glanced at Selene. ...Do I even want to get back? I asked myself. It should have been an easy question, but for some reason, it isn't. I sighed. This would have been so much easier if I had someone who understood what I was going through. I wonder if I can make clones of myself?
I let my thoughts wander. I was thinking to the shows I liked to watch back home. Dragon Ball, Bleach, Tokyo Ghoul, TMNT, X-men, Ben 10-
smack
I was snapped out of my thoughts as something hit me on the back of the head. Cursing silently, I looked back to see what it was, and my eyes widened at what I saw on the ground.
MichaelOscar's suggestion
It was a honest to god Ultimatrix. I was at a loss of words. How did that even get here? Did I accidentally use my powers when I thought of Ben 10? I slowly picked it up and looked it over. All the details were correct... I slipped it into my arm and watched as it adjusted size. I circled on the matrix and watched as the different aliens appeared on it. Dear god, it really is the real deal... I was interrupted on my examinings as it suddenly spoke in a digitalized version of my voice.
"NEW DNA SAMPLES DETECTED. START SCAN? "
I blinked. "Err... Okay?"
I watched as a green beam appeared from its side and passed over the distracted Blaze and Selene, apparently scanning them. After a few seconds, the process finished and the beam disappeared.
"DNA SAMPLES ACQUIRED. NEW FORM AVAIBLE: THESTRAL. "
TRAIT UNLOCKED: Alien Transformation (Ben 10 Universe)
Ultimatrix A device that can transform the user into any of the species scanned by it. Can be used by anyone if the user so desires.
…Huh. This might come in handy some time. I guess the learn rate is moderate because I'll have to learn how to use each of the aliens. Eh, no problem. Not like I'll need too so soon. Or at all if thouse six I saw on the castle live here, then they themselves can just 'Rainbow Kamehamaha' the problems away. And spare me the 'With great powers comes great responsibility' shit. I'm lazy. That's the end of it.
I closed my eyes for a moment, enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature. It was quite the new experience to me, as back home, there was always the sound of cars, men working, the blaring of the neighbor's sound system... I find this a welcome change. I can actually hear my thoughts now...
You don't deserve this...
I gasped and instantly pulled myself from the depths of my mind. No no no no, leave me alone! Why must you bother me even when I'm trying to live a new life!? I shouted in my head, hearing that annoying chuckle I came to despise.
Because you can't run from the past~ Admit it, you're just doing this to try and make up for what you did~
You know nothing! Shut up! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
"Mommy?"
I was pulled out of thoughts as I heard Selene's concerned voice. My eyes focused back on the real world and I noticed how I was shaking, my fists clenching tightly as a small trail of blood stained the fur on my palms. Taking a deep breath, I unclenched my fists, letting my fast healing stop the bleeding. My healing factor may not be Wolverine's level, but it was still fast. A trait all Kitsunes have. Looking down at Selene, I saw Blaze sitting beside her, and both were looking at me in concern. Smiling kindly at them, I tried to dissuade their fears.
"I'm fine. Just some bad thoughts, but they went away. Don't worry, you two."
They didn't seem that much convinced, but nodded nonetheless and went back to playing. I sighed and leaned back, my mood partially ruined by him . I never talked to anyone about this, and I sure as hell will never. Just the thought of him makes me feel anger, sorrow, and most of all, regret. If only I could have prevented that from happening...
I was once again brought out of my thoughts by outside means, this time by a loud voice.
"COME ONE, COME ALL!!! COME AND WITNESS THE AMAZING MAGIC OF THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRRRRRRRIXIE!!!"
Looking at where the voice came from, I noticed a stage in the center of town (thanks enhanced vision) surrounded by lots of ponies. Is that what I think it is? I felt a smile form on my face as I stood up. Looking down at Blaze and Selene, I asked them.
"Girls? How would you like to go to a magic show?"

Author's Note
This chapter is only a filler, because I'm working on the Boast Busters chapter now, and it would become too big to merge the two togheter.
As you saw, I took the suggestion of one comment, and also added who suggested it. Thank you MychaelOscar, you're the first one to make a suggestion! Anyone else who wants to see something happen, just comment and I'll see about adding it to the fic.
Now, one last question. This fic is already open to crossovers, but would you like it to be a displaced fic or not? Please comment if yes or no. Also, first two comments on this chapter get a happy Twi and Flutters!
Sunny leaves now! BREAD FOR EVERYPONE!!!
Like a Fox in Ponies' World
"Now THAT, is a Major problem indeed..."
So, here was I, sitting at the very front of the crowd in a cushion I conjured and leaning against a small wall of bones I made with my Monster Magic. Some ponies close to me freaked out a little at first, but when I said that they were made with my magic and not out of another animal, they calmed down. On my lap was Selene, while Blaze clung to my head to see best, since even sitting, I was still a little taller than the ponies. The show itself was very enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, I know I am now on a land where I'm surrounded by magic, and that I myself have it too, but there's just something about magic shows that make me really appreciate them.
The magician was a unicorn mare with an azure coat, her mane being pale light blue with even paler blue stripes. The music "I'm Blue" came to head suddenly. Also, her eyes were a dark grayish violet color. I admit, she was overdoing a little on the bragging, but I don't care. She's a magician, it's part of her job to do that. Apparently, my opinion wasn't shared by some certain mares and dragon that just arrived and are now standing beside me.
"My my my, what boasting!" Said that pompous white unicorn that I knew I would never get along with.
"C'mon, nopony's as magical as Twi- Twi- Twi- Oh!" The little dragon said before stuttering as he took notice of me and cleared his throat. "Hi, Miss Fox, I, uh- Moustache!"
I rose an eyebrow at the little guy, wondering what he was talking about. Purple too took notice of me and was about to open her mouth, most likely to start asking questions, but I stared at her with a look that clearly conveyed 'No.' She sighed and turned back to her friends.
"There's nothing wrong with being talented, is there?" She asked with some hesitation.
"Nothin' at all, 'cep'n when someone goes around showin' it off like a schoolfilly with fancy new ribbons." Huh, orange pony actually is a cowgirl, by her way of talking. I'm calling her Hat Pony.
"Just because one has the ability to perform lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us." I'm definitely calling this white unicorn Whinny. I can easily hear the whine behind her voice. This one will probably make my now sensitive ears bleed one day.
"Especially when ya got me around being better than the rest of us." Oh yeah, I can't think of a better name to this one than Skittles. Also, dear god, she has an ego problem. I wonder if she ~~is gay~~ painted her mane of that color or ~~maybe a very effeminate stallion~~ if it's really natural. Teasing information in case she crossed me. She noticed her friends staring at her in disapproval and chuckled nervously. "Eh, I mean, yeah, uh, magic shmagic. Boo!"
Now let me tell you this. I can't stand haters. It gives me the desire to punt them out of where they are. I mean, people are allowed to dislike something, it's their opinion. But to bother others, or worse, bother the artist who worked hard for their project with their hate, is just asking to be knocked down a few pegs. I tried to ignore them for the rest of the show, and listened to Trixie's story about vanquishing something called an "Ursa Major". I knew it wasn't true, but magicians are allowed to either create or embellish something they did to help the magic show. I almost lost it when the mares tried to expose Trixie, this is her magic show! Who do they think they are!? I, however, refrained from doing anything when I saw Trixie herself dealing with them. I laughed a lot at that.
But when Purple ran off after refusing to challenge Trixie, she finally took notice of me. She blinked in confusion for a moment before smirking. "What about you, weird creature? Is there something you can do that you think Trixie can't?"
I shrugged and waved a hand. I wasn't about to steal her show like certain three mares. "Don't think so. But, could I maybe... Help you a little?" I asked making sure to whisper loud enough for only her to hear.
She once again looked confused but leaned closer nonetheless. "Trixie generally works alone, but she will admit she is interested. What is your idea?"
I smirked and looked down at Selene. "Here's what you will do..."
The crowd was a little confused. Trixie had stopped the show for a moment, saying that she would prepare the next trick for them and went backstage. I smiled seeing that as I leaned back on the cushion, both me and Blaze snickering. After a few seconds Trixie came back on stage.
"Trixie apologizes for the delay. Now, for the next trick, watch in awe while the Great and Powerful Trixie, summons the most feared villain ever seen in Equestria! Nightmare Moon!"
The crowd gasped in shock, hearing what Trixie was going to do. Me and Blaze played along and gasped too. Trixie then ignited her horn and smoke covered a large area of the stage. When it cleared, there she was, Nightmare Moon! (Or Black Snooty, my lovely nickname for her) She opened her cat like eyes and glared at the crowd.
"Who dareth summon Us, Nightmare Moon!? " She asked in ye old English. The crowd screamed and I think three mares fainted. It's getting hard not to laugh.
"That would be me! The Great and Powerful Trixie!" Trixie announced. "And you don't scare me! Trixie could defeat you with a hoof behind her back!"
"Thou dareth mock Us!? Foolish mortal, we shalt show thee what happens with the ones who challenge Us! " Nightmare shouted, sending a blast of magic at Trixie. The crowd screamed for her to get out of the way, but she only smiled and levitated her hat in front of herself. Me and Blaze almost burst out laughing when the jaws of all present dropped seeing the blast disappear harmlessly inside the hat, but we held each other's mouths shut to prevent it.
"Hah! As you can see, your magic can't even reach me!" Trixie laughed as "Nightmare" made a shocked face.
"Tis not possible! Our magic is the strongest there is! Who art thou, mortal!? "
"I am The Great and Powerful Trixie! And I am the strongest magic user in Equestria! Now, Trixie shall purify you!" She shot a blast of her own at the black alicorn, which swirled with a myriad of colors. The blast hit head on and Nightmare screamed.
"NOOOOO, TIS CAN'T BE!!! DEFEATED BY A MORTAL!? THOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, TRIXIE!!! " She screamed as the blast engulfed her. When it finally died down, Selene was laying on the floor of the stage before she yawned and lifted her head, looking around. "Where am I?" Her ears folded back as she noticed the crowd staring at her.
"Fear not, little one." Trixie said, smiling gently as she approached and helped her up. "For the Great and Powerful Trixie has purified your soul from that evil spirit known as Nightmare Moon! You are now free!"
Selene gasped with stars on her eyes. Don't know how ponies do that, but it is. Fickin'. Cute. Hnnng. "You saved me! Thank you, Great and Powerful Trixie!" She smiled and hugged Trixie. Meanwhile, the crowd went wild with cheers and stomped their hooves. Guess that count as them applauding. Me and Blaze clapped too, having greatly enjoyed the performance of both of them.
Trixie turned and bowed to the crowd. "Thank you, citizens of Ponyville! It has been a pleasure performing for you, but sadly, this is it for today. Be sure to tell friends about the show, have a nice afternoon!"
The crowd aww'ed but started to disperse as the curtains closed. I stayed behind, but Blaze said she had to go for now, so I waved goodbye for her. A few moments after the crowd dispersed, Selene ran out from behind the curtain and jumped at me, I laughed and caught her, and she proceeded to hug me and laugh.
"Did you see me, mommy? Did you, did you?"
I laughed some more and pet her ethereal mane. "Yes I did sweetie. I'm proud of you, you didn't stutter even once."
Now, if some of you might still be confused, let me explain. Trixie is very proficient in Illusion Magic. A big part of the fireworks weren't real to prevent any accident. So she uses her illusions to aid in the show. Nightmare Moon and the blasts where only that, illusions, that's why "Nightmare's" blast disappeared harmlessly on Trixie's hat. And, for someone this good with illusions, adding the voice to the image of Nightmare was easy peasy, so Selene didn't need to speak anything while under the illusion. Trixie has great potential, I'm sure.
"Trixie- I mean, I would like to thank you for helping in my show. You wouldn't know how hard it is to promote a Magic Show in a land of magic." She said with a sigh, surprisingly dropping the Third Person speak.
"Hey, 's'cool. The show would have been perfect, weren't it for those mares interfering. Good job handling them by the way, it was hilarious. Name's Samantha by the way, and the little one is Selene Dremurr." I said extending a hand, to which she grabbed with a hoof and shook. Now let me tell you, the feeling of being gripped with a hoof is very weird. I couldn't see anything, but I could feel the invisible force around my hand, like invisible fingers. I almost shuddered, but suppresed it well.
"Nice to meet you Samantha, my full name is Trixie Lulamoon."
We spent some time talking and getting to know each other. I discovered that she always puts up the "Great and Powerful" act because she is a little insecure. I asked why she told me that, since it apparently was a big secret, and she said that she knew I wouldn't use this information to my advantage. I decided to be honest with her too and told her who Selene was before and how I found her. When she asked what I was, I explained to the best of my abilities, and also demonstrated what I could do. So to resume, in the short time we spent together, we became fast friends.
Right now, I had just arrived home after waving goodbye to her, since it was starting to get late. Selene had fallen asleep along the way, so I immediately tucked her in and went back to my book. I decided to review on what I already learned and leave then next and more complex chapters for when I have more practice. I have now grasped the full concept of Conjuration, and boy, the side effecs still scare me. But from some information I got from the book, my mana pool is large enough to handle a big conjuration before I start to feel the side effects. That's a little reassuring. Night was just starting to fall when I decided to take a break from the book. I will miss TV… I stood up and stretched, about to head upstairs to check on Selene when a roar shook the house.
"What the!?" I exclaimed and rushed outside, but skidded to a halt at what I was seeing. That... Is a frickin' giant bear that looks like the night sky. Oh god, now I understand, Ursa Major, as in, the constellation, and that's a real living creature! I don't know what compelled me to, but I rushed into the town to get a better look. I arrived to panic and the citzens running around like headless chickens. It would have been funny if there wasn't a current situation there.
The Ursa was destroying a lot of things but, when I caught a glimpse of its eyes... Those weren't the eyes of a mindless beast. These are the eyes of a grumpy baby who was woken up from it's nap. How do I know this? Selene blew up part of the wall back at the old castle when I accidentally woke her up. I think there's still a me shaped strip of wall still standing in the middle of the hole. That's some cartoon physics there. Anyway, I knew what a grumpy baby looked like, and this is exactly what it was. A big... Angry... Rampaging baby. Snapping out of my musings, I saw that someone was in the way of the Ursa. Wait... Isn't that-!? "Trixie, watch out!"
The Ursa was swinging it's claw at Trixie, who stood frozen in fear. I was running towards her, but at the speed I was, I wouldn't be able to reach her in time. I have to reach her! I can't let her die like this!
The claw was almost upon her.
It seems you're gonna fail~ What a shame. You know, it almost remind me of what happened with R-
"NO!!!"
whoosh
SMASH!!!
I had screwed my eyes shut to not see what was about to happen. I failed again... I couldn't save- I was snapped out of my dark thoughts when I felt movement against my chest. Blinking my eyes open and looking down, I was greeted by a silverly blue mane. I was somehow holding Trixie in my arms while standing several feet away from the Ursa. She slowly looked up at me, eyes full of fear at what almost happened.
"S-Samantha...?"
"Yeah... Yeah it's me. Are you okay?"
"I-I am, but... H-how...?"
I glanced back at where I was before, seeing a small trail of flames vanish on the ground leading to where I was now.
"...I don't know..."
Honestly, I really didn't. None of the Traits i currently have has mentions anything about super speed. At least, not that I remember. Does this means this is a natural thing for Kitsunes? Blinking back to reality, I had time to see Purple performing the impressive feat of levitating the now sleeping Ursa into the forest. Did I mention that it was sucking on a giant baby bottle? Because it was. How did I miss what happened? No matter. Purple took care of it. I gently set the still shaking Trixie down on the ground and stood. I was about to breath a sigh of relief when another, much louder roar shook the entire town. There, rising from the place where the Ursa disappeared on the forest appeared another, much bigger and purple colored Ursa. Are you KIDDING!? The one who was just in town was a Ursa MINOR!?!?
I gulped. Shit. "Now THAT, is a Major problem indeed..."
The Ursa started making it's way towards the town, while I meanwhile, looked around frantically for something or someone to help. Sadly, everyone was in a panic again, and Purple seemed exhausted from using so much magic. That left... *gulp* me...
Grimacing, I started walking in the direction of the Ursa. Shouts of 'What are you doing!?' and 'Are you CRAZY!? That thing is dangerous!' were thrown my way, but I ignored them. The Ursa was almost out of the forest as I stood in its path. Due to it's size, it instantly took notice of me and roared, speeding up. I knew I had to do something, but I didn't know what. I could probably use the Ultimatrix, but I wasn't so confident that I would get an useful alien or if I would even be able to use it properly. The Ursa was almost atop me. I screwed my eyes shut and waited.
"I wish I had something that big to drive it away from the town...!"
I gasped and almost fell on my knees when I felt a good part of my magic drain away. What the-
SCREECH!!!
I looked up, seeing how the sky became clouded suddenly. Then, a hole opened in the clouds, from which light started to shine. No way, I remember what this looks like! But it can't be! It was. But not the way I expected. There, descending from the clouds, was Rayquaza. A SHINY Rayquaza. The black dragon Pokémon flew down to the Ursa and screeched again in it's face. The entire town stopped to see what was going on, and a lot of them were trembling with fear. Not only because of the sudden appearance of the Legendary Pokémon, but also because the Ursa started whimpering and backed away before finally turning and quickly returning to deep inside the forest. Rayquaza screeched once again to the skies as the clouds dispersed. It then turned to me. I locked up as it started lowering itself to me. In my mind, it was about to attack me, but I was snapped out of these thoughts as it... Nudged me. I glanced up at it, hearing the citizens shouting at me to run, but I ignored them again as I brought a hand up and rested it at Rayquaza's lowered head.
"...Ray?" I asked. It surprisingly nodded it's head. I... Can't believe it. It's Ray, my Shiny Rayquaza that I caught back when I played Pokémon Emerald on my GameBoy Advance! But... How? Is... Is this another trait?
TRAIT UNLOCKED: Pokémon Trainer (Pokémon Universe)
Pokémon Master All the Pokémon you have ever caught in the games are now yours, including the Legendaries. However, you are still gonna have to train with them if you want them to be as powerful as they were in your games.
Bag The impressive Pokémon Bag, in which a multitude of items are stored in. Including a bike. Items have a self-restoring cooldown, so use without fear.
Real Life Cheat Your Pokémon can and will learn more than four moves, limited only to their own movepool.
Wait... ALL the Pokémon I ever caught? But didn't the book say I wasn't able to create living creatures? Also I don't think I have enough magic to-!
I feel on my knees and screamed. Multiple cuts and wounds opened on my body and started bleeding as I felt my magic rapidly drain away and I neared my limit. It hurts... It hurts so much... The world around me didn't matter anymore. There was only pain. It wasn't stopping. I don't know how long I was there screaming. It could have been seconds, minutes, hours... It didn't matter. What mattered is that it felt like an eternity. Finally, it started to lessen. My vision started to darken as I rolled onto my back, catching sight of a silhouette standing over me while a faint glow flowed from it's three fingered hand and into me. I was still feeling the drain, but this glow was lessening it. The moonlight finally illuminated it's face enough for me to see what it was.
It was Mewtwo.
"Sparkle...?"
And I blacked out.
Canterlot Castle, Celestia's POV
I sat on the balcony of my room, looking down at my little ponies, sighing as I saw the nobles. I really wish they could treat one another better... Some of the pegasi that flew by waved or stopped to bow and then continued their way. I only smiled and waved back. But that smile was only a mask to hide the anger and worry I was feeling. I had just felt a massive surge of magic coming from Ponyville, and a loud screech as a strange creature descended into the town. It was too far away to properly see what it was, but I could feel the power it emanated. And I knew exactly who summoned it. I heard the door open as my sister Luna rushed in.
"Sister! Did thou feel that!? A massive magic surge happened in Ponyville!" She said.
"Yes Luna, I did. And we both know who it was." I said, keeping my anger contained.
"Sister, we should take action right now! Who knows what she could be doing to our ponies!? We should-"
"We should wait and observe, Luna. Don't you remember what happened last time we rushed head first against a member of her kind?" I glanced at her from the corner of my eye, hearing her sigh.
"Yes, We do... But, art thou sure, Tia?" She asked as her ears dropped at the memory.
"I am. Don't worry Lulu, I will notify the Elements of Harmony to keep an eye on her too. She will not harm our little ponies, I'll bring the sun down on her first." I nodded firmly. Luna raised an eyebrow.
"I thought we didn't use these type of threats these days?" She asked in amusement, and I couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not like I will really go through with that, but I have to admit, this is sure to strike fear into the enemy, so why not?" I said with a smile as I messed her mane. She giggled before pushing my hoof away with a pout.
"Tiiia! We art not a filly anymore! Don't do that!"
I smirked. "You will always be the little Lulu I know and love."
She shook her head and turned to leave, but I caught sight of the devious smirk on her face. "Whatever, Princess Molestia ~"
I sputtered as she quickly rushed out giggling. "LUNA!!!" I hate that nickname. It started when I went through my first heat. I... Would rather not think about it again... Let's just say... A lot of guards and visitors went home walking awkwardly that week. Males AND females equally.
I shook my head again and directed my gaze out of the balcony, looking at the town of Ponyville in the distance and adopting a small glare. I will NOT let that creature do as it pleases with my ponies.
Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, the memories of that time started to come back...
Author's Note
HUZZAH!!! CHAPTER DONE!!!
Sunny admits to have looked at a transcription of the original episode to do this chapter. Sunny hopes you also don't hate her for the new Trait added.
Yes, I will only use the Pokémon I ever caught in the games I played, these being: Pokémon Fire Red, Pokémon Emerald, Pokémon Soul Silver, and the hacks, Pokémon Super Mega Emerald and Pokémon Hyper Emerald.
(Yes, the Mewtwo I caught, I named Sparkle in the game. Sue me.)
This is the second-to-last Trait I have planned. The last one I think I'm only gonna introduce later in the story, probably during the wedding episode.
Next chapter, after the crossover I will have, I plan it to be a glimpse into Celestia and Luna's past with the Kitsunes, and the reason they dislike them.
Pool to decide if this fic should be Displaced or not is still open. Also, a second pool for this: Should Trixie live with Samantha or should she leave?
I admit that Trixie is one of my favorite characters, but this is a major decision, so I will let you guys choose.
As always, open to suggestions, OCs, and crossovers, just PM me. I want suggestions on OP villains to match Sam, so the story can be balanced.
Now something I will start to do from now on, the Question of the Chapter: If you could choose a Pokémon to be your starter, any Pokémon with exception of the Legendaries, which one would it be?
Like a Fox in Ponies' World
(Third Person, many years before Nightmare Moon…)
(Suggested soundtrack to listen)
At first, things were peaceful. Equestria was at peace with all its neighbouring countries, Minos, Yakyakistan*, Griffonia, Seaquestria, Dragentina*, the Changeling Country and Kitsunia. However, that peace was only due to the fear the other countries had from the King, Cosmos, the Queen, Galaxia, and the High Queen, LaurFaustia, who was dubbed the Faceless Queen, due to her appearance being unknown. To the ponies, the Royals were a sign of respect, hope, safety, a beacon of light and an example to be followed. To the other nations, the Royal family was a powerful ally who they dare not betray, or else face dire consequences.
Even though most other countries were content with being allies instead of enemies with Equestria, there was one leader who was unsatisfied: King Samuel III of the Kitsunes. His concern was that, whenever a pony set hoof on Kitsunia, they treated his people not as equals, but as trash, beings that were lower than dirt. He brought this up many and many times on the Council, which consisted of all the leaders of the countries, however, his assumption were always brushed off by Cosmos and Galaxia. And it was so, that King Samuel decided Equestria was not worthy being allies with, ordering to close off Kitsunia’s borders, cutting off any relations with Equestria. If the Equestrians didn't want to treat them fairly, then they could do without all the materials they could only find in Kitsunia.
That should have been the end for the Kitsunes, after all, most of their goods was provided by the ponies. Cosmos and Galaxia believed that the country would suffer greatly without them, and the king would crawl back to the council begging for forgiveness. They thought so not only because they were arrogant, but also because they knew Kitsunia was a precious source of magical knowledge, one of which they couldn't let be in the hands of an enemy.
Imagine their surprise however, when the country prospered greatly.
It was true, 50 years after being separated from Equestria, Kitsunia became one of the most advanced countries on the planet. Their magic, Will Magic, was one of the factors to contribute to that. They even managed to discover a new type of magic, Chaos Magic. This magic derived from their Will Magic, but it was more wild, chaotic if you would. Experiments with this new type of magic even led to them creating a new species. It was true that their Will Magic could not create fully sentient beings, however, when mixed with enough Chaos Magic, they could create a partially intelligent species, who they taught the basics before letting them learn by themselves the rest.
This new race consisted mostly of chimeras, who had a lot of different animal parts making up their bodies. The King called them Draconequus. Samuel knew however, that this new race needed their own leader, since he wouldn't be able to care for them alone. And so, it was that using the Will Magic of almost a hundred Kitsunes, his own included and mixing it with Chaos Magic, that they created a leader for this new race. Discord, Lord of Chaos and Prince of the Draconequus.
Another 50 years passed. The Kitsunes kept advancing, both magically and technologically. The Draconequus lived on a floating island above Kitsunia called Foreverfree**, where they could change the environment however they pleased. King Samuel was strolling down the streets of the capital, Wolfania. His people greeted him, and he smiled back. He walked slowly, not because the years were catching up to him, he still was in great form. He was merely enjoying the scenery.
Samuel was a big white fox, almost 11 feet tall, and his nine tails were just shy of being just as long. His eyes were a beautiful light blue, able to calm down even the most stressed kitsunes. He always wore a light purple robe, with red details on it. He mostly walked barefoot like the rest of his people, wanting to feel closer to them.
It was during this walk, that he accidentally bumped on someone. Samuel looked down at the fallen Kitsune and his jaw almost dropped. She was a female with a beautiful cream colored coat of fur and vibrant red hair. She was wearing a white shirt with a blue jacket that was open, and green pants. Opening her violet colored eyes, she gazed up to see him offering a hand to help her up. Blushing a little with her five tails swishing behind her, she accepted his hand and stood up, her height being approximately 9 feet and 6 inches.
“Are you okay miss? I didn't mean to bump into you.” Samuel asked concerned.
“Oh no, it's alright my King. I'm fine.” She answered.
“May I ask your name?” He asked with a smile, which only made her blush more.
“I-I’m Lauren.”
From there, the conversation progressed. They talked about the weather, what they did when not working, and even about embarrassing stories from their childhood. Samuel and Lauren became fast friends, but as time went on, they began to develop feelings for each other. A few months later, Samuel finally worked up the courage to ask Lauren out, to which she accepted. It was awkward at first, but soon their relationship became deeper, and a year later, Samuel asked Lauren in marriage. She accept with great joy, and the event happened under the stars. Another 100 years passed before Samuel and Lauren generated a heir. Samuel couldn't be more happy. His country was prospering greatly, he had a lovely wife and had just gotten a beautiful daughter.
However, all good things must come to an end.
Cosmos and Galaxia were none too pleased with the Kitsunes. Because of their prosperity after being separated from Equestria, the other countries were beginning to question if it wouldn't be more beneficial to close their borders off too. This couldn't continue. So, they devised a plan. A spy was infiltrated in Kitsunia. Night fell and Samuel was on the kitchen for a cup of water, but was startled by his wife’s sudden scream from their room. He ran back only to find Lauren slowly bleeding to death from a knife on her throat, and the spy already aimed to kill his daughter too.Samuel saw red.
When the guards finally reached his room, they would only find the King crying over the corpse of his wife while clutching his daughter to his chest protectively, and a red splatter on the wall in a vague equine shape.
On the next day, the ponies were startled awake by explosions. In a fit of rage, Samuel himself went and attacked Equestria. Three major cities were wiped out in his rampage, and he retreated before the Cosmos and Galaxia had a chance to confront him. However, this was exactly their plan. Now, they had a reason to declare war on the kitsunes.
The war was like none other that happened before. Cosmos and Galaxia had brought their daughters, Celestia and Luna, to observe as the kitsunes were “punished for their transgressions against Equestria”. However, they all watched in disbelief as their ponies were crushed by the kitsunes’ superior technology, with very little casualties on their side. The Royals had enough, and decided to join the battle themselves. Using their magic, they forcefully took control of the Sun and Moon, unleashing a destructive force that wiped out more than half of the kitsunes and the entirety of the draconequus, leaving Discord as the last of his race. When the Royals noticed the kitsunes backing off from the battlefield, they thought their victory was already confirmed.
That was not the case.
Stepping before the Equestrian army, was Samuel himself. He had no weapons with him, and no armor. He walked calmly, with only a mild frown on his face, as if he was only dealing with an annoyance. His eyes swept over the Equestrians, most of which flinched from his gaze. The blue orbs that once were calm and gentle, now were cold, and promised of suffering to anyone who dared cross his path to revenge. He glanced briefly over the charred remains of his army and muttered a quick prayer for them, before turning back to look as Cosmos and Galaxia landed before him.
“Come to beg for forgiveness, Samuel?” Cosmos asked harshly. “Took you long enough, but I'm afraid it's too late now.”
“I see you're still as arrogant as ever.” Samuel said as he shook his head.
“You brought this war upon your people.” Galaxia said as she took a threatening step forward. “Surrender now and we promise to spare your daughter. We shall raise her to give us he respect we deserve.”
“So, you would really step so low as to bring my daughter into this…” Samuel closed his eyes and sighed, almost as if he was disappointed. “I hoped you would see the error of your ways, that this war could be solved without any more unnecessary bloodshed… Guess I'll have to beat it though your tick skulls.”
“What are you talking about?” Cosmos said with a raised eyebrow. “Half of your forces are already gone. How do you hope to win this war?”
Samuel merely stepped back and raised his voice, making the entire Equestrian army hear his next words.
“HEAR ME, EQUESTRIANS!!! KNOW THAT WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN, IS ONLY FAULT OF YOUR ESTEEMED KING AND QUEEN!!!”
And suddenly, he was standing between the royal couple, who only had time to widen their eyes as Samuel gripped their horns and violently ripped it off their skulls. Many of the unicorns present had a hoof on their horns, and all of the Equestrian army was watching in shocked silence as their rulers screamed in agony. Samuel stepped back and muttered to himself. “It's time…” With a look and a nod to his forces, who nodded back with determination, he lowered his head and began chanting a spell along with the kitsunes who were still able to channel their Will Magic.
It began as a small sphere floating in front of Samuel, but soon it started expanding over both his and the Equestrian army. He lowered his head in acceptance of his sacrifice, a gesture which was mirrored by his army. Cosmos and Galaxia could only gasp through the pain as after the sphere passed by them they witnessed not only the Sun and Moon move by themselves on the sky towards each other, but also how their bodies began turning into only small particles of glowing dust that was quickly blown away into the wind. Many of the ponies who witnessed this screamed and tried to flee the still expanding spell. A few made it out of the range of the spell safely, though mentally scarred. Two of those few where the young princesses, Celestia and Luna, who had escaped with the help of their guardian, Starry Skies***, a unicorn from a powerful bloodline, who managed to teleport the three of them a safe distance away. On the sky, a total Eclipse had taken place.
The princesses cried for their parents, they cried long and hard. In the end, they vowed to never forgive the kitsunes for what they had done on this day. They sworn on the name of their dead parents that they would have their revenge.
Back in Samuel’s palace, Discord looked down sadly at the little infant wrapped on a blanket atop the bed. The King’s last request to the Draconequus before the war was that he brought his daughter to someplace where she could be safe, as he was the one he trusted the most, proof of that being the secret his wife shared with him and the only other who knew of it was Discord. Knowing only one way to do that, Discord snapped his claw once to create a basket for the little kitsun, then snapped once again and opened a rift in time and space. Gently picking the basket and stepping through, he looked around before finding a good enough house and lowering the basket on the doorstep. He snapped one last time, disguising the kitsune princess as one of the local race in case she were to somehow be tracked, even going as far as changing her gender. He knocked on the door and retreated through the rift, maintaining it open long enough to watch as a young female human opened the door and gasp seeing the baby on her doorstep. She picked the basket up and called for her husband before retreating inside and closing the door. With his job there done, Discord let the rift close before teleporting away from the castle. He would make the ponies sorry for having forced his best friend to sacrifice himself.
One hundred years later, Celestia and Luna would accompany their own army on a march towards Kitsunia, only to find nothing but a giant wasteland where the country once was.
I shot up to a sitting position while breathing heavily. I just had a weird and frightening nightmare, but I couldn't remember fully what it was about. I only remember a war and an Eclipse…
“Ah, I see you're finally awake, Master.”
I gasped hearing a voice in my mind, before snapping my eyes to the figure hovering by my side.
“What, is there something on my face?” Sparkle asked telepathically, feeling her face with her three fingered hands.
I just stood there, staring dumbly at the Mewtwo, who I knew for a fact was mine.
Author's Note
*I don't know if the yaks’ country is really spelled this way, and Dragentina is a different place than the Dragon Lands;
**No, this is not the future Everfree Forest;
***Yes, this is an ancestor from Starswirl the Bearded, I wanted to make my point that this was very far into the past.
Hello, my lovely readers! This is just a little something I wanted to get out of the way before I proceed to the next chapter of the story. Now you know why Celestia and Luna hate the Kitsunes. Now, before you start commenting on how Cosmos and Galaxia looked a little underpowered in this (pfft, as if), I want to explain that in this AU in the past, the Sun and Moon weren't under control of the ponies, hence why I said they "forcefully" took control of them. Thus, the celestial objects now needed to be put back on their original path by magic, which befell first on the unicorns, then on Celestia and Luna when they became of age. As their connection to the Sun and Moon grew, so did their magic, ascending to the point where they became the immortal rulers everypony knows today. That's how I see it at least, and its an explanation that justifies how OP they truly are. On that subject, I think the only reason Celestia was overpowered by Chrysalis on the wedding episode was because she underestimated her opponent and was caught off guard, thus making the blast become more harmful than it should have been. She may be immortal, but she's no goddess.
Changing the subject, I decided that I shall keep this fic as not a displaced one, since I already have a displaced fic on the works. Hint: It's a DBS character as the main one.
Also, the results on the poll: THE REGRETFUL AND FRIENDLY TRIXIE SHALL STAY WITH THE KITSUNE!!! HUZZAH!!!
~~Don't expect another chapter so soon.~~
As always, open to OCs, suggestions, and ideas, just comment or PM me. Please tell me of any errors you find so I can corrige them.
I'll give bread to whoever can guess what the secret Samuel's wife told him and Discord was.
Like a Fox in Ponies' World
Here we see our cast chilling in a big room. Everyone is there, Samantha with Selene or her shoulder, the mane six, the princesses, and the other background ponies. They were all talking about random things to pass the time until the Author wrote the next chapter. A young grey bat pony filly with a two tone blue mane and different colored eyes, the left one being ocean blue while the right one was crimson red, walked into the room with a clipboard, adjusting her glasses as she scanned everyone in attendance.
"Hey, has anyone seen Sunny?" Blaze asked, getting shrugs from most.
"She has been too lazy lately for my tastes. We were supposed to have a new chapter already!" Sam complained, the others nodding in agreement.
"Guys, she has made this clear various times," Blaze explained with a sigh. "She can only write something if she finds inspiration, and that inspiration only comes when she's distracted."
"Sooooo she's just lazy." Rainbow simplified, causing the filly to huff and some among the crowd to laugh.
Before things could escalate into an argument, a loud slam was heard as the door smashed against the wall. There, standing in the doorway, was a pony who to most would look like Sunset Shimmer, but with a few differences. Firstly, her cutie mark was that of a bread and a play button. Second and most obvious, she was big . Not tall, just big. She was just a few inches shorter than Celestia, but her overall figure wasn't lanky by any stretch of the imagination. Most could even say she was a little chubby, and-
"Keep going and I'll fire you!" She shouted at the ceiling- err, me. Anyhow, this was the Author, CroisSunnyPlay, simply referred to as Sunny.
"Everyone!" She exclaimed.
"What is it Sunny? Are you finally gonna make a new chapter?" Sam asked as she approached.
"It's not that! Look!" Her horn glowed and a screen popped up. Luna rose an eyebrow at what she was seeing.
"It's our story's page on Fimfiction. What of it?"
Sunny groaned. "Not that! This!"
The image zoomed in to a specific part of the page and everyone gasped. Except me, I already knew since I'm the Narrator. Anyway, what made everyone gasp was simply the number displayed at the "Views" part: 1.5k. Quite a few jaws dropped. Pinkie's unhinged. Samantha conjured a cup of water and sipped it before spraying it all over Sunny. Sunny was not amused.
"Okay, first: Eww." She huffed as her horn glowed, a heating spell drying her fur. "Second: You guys know what this means!"
Everyone in the room instantly scramble into action, pushing couches and chairs out of the way while the others set up a projector in front of a blank wall. Sunny approached and turned it on before smiling as everyone took positions to watch, Pinkie giving out popcorn to those that wanted. As soon as the countdown finished, everyone could see the bold letters displayed.
THE START OF A NEW JOURNEY
Sam stood in the forest, complaining about the scene.
"Do I really have to do this only in a bra and panties?"
"For the last time, yes!" Sunny shouted from her position. "This is the scene where you poke yourself on a branch, which will lead to you wishing to have clothes and conjuring for the first time!"
"Uugh, fine..." She said defeated.
"Alright, Scene one, Take one, Action!" Sunny ordered.
Sam walked towards one of the trees with a low branch, making sure it would poke her as she passed. She felt it only graze against her and was about to ask to go again before a loud "RIIIIP" was heard and she suddenly felt a breeze down south.
Looking down, she finally noticed an absence of her undergarments, letting out a startled "KYYYYAAAAAAAA!!!!" and wrapping her tails around herself to try and cover her bits.
"CUT!!! CUT DAMMIT!!!" Sunny yelled as she squeezed her eyes shut with a furious blush, using her hooves to block Blaze's line of sight.
"Hey stop that! I'm older than I look!"
"Hah, I wish I could have seen that!"
"Fuck you Rainbow."
Sunny looked at Nightmare, who was just Luna with a rubber mask, and Twilight while Samantha waited in the next room.
"Alright, in this scene Samantha will come in from the next room and start talking to you two, and then the rest of the mane six will rush in and you will do your rainbow kamehameha thing."
"It's not a-" Twilight began, but was interrupted by Sunny.
"Whatever! Anyway, any questions?"
"We have one." Luna said and gestured to her mask. "You're kidding. You're kidding, right?"
Sunny smiled sheepishly. "Well uh... We didn't have the budget for a full body suit... And besides, they will fix that in the edition!"
Luna groaned. "Fine, let's get this over with."
"Alright, Scene three Take one, Action!"
The scene played fine for the most part. The problem happened when the others rushed in and Fluttershy tripped. Panicking, she spread her wings to catch herself only to be sent flying into Samantha, knocking the fox on her back while the timid pony straddled her waist. Fluttershy for her part, noticing the position she was in, blushed with a nervous smile as she looked at Sam.
"O-oh my... Do you... Come here often?"
"FLUTTERSHY!?!?" Everyone exclaimed, except for Sunny.
"CUT!!!"
"Ah still can't believe ya said that."
"I-it was probably a reaction..."
"So you're saying that I will willingly let myself be smacked in the face by a book in this scene." Sam deadpanned.
"It's just a book." Sunny said with an eyeroll. "Blaze will make sure only the flat side of it hit you." She pointed at the filly, who waved from her perch.
"Arrgh fine! Sometimes I think I'm just your scapegoat." Sam grumbled, getting in position under the covers.
"Scene six Take one, Action!"
The scene started and, when she saw the signal, Blaze tipped the book just enough to make the flat side fall on Sam's face. Everyone waited for the practiced gasp that would come, however what they got was an-
"AAAAHHHHH WHY IS IT SO HEAVY!?!?!?"
Samantha had her face smashed under the book. Everyone looked in confusion, the book for this scene shouldn't be so heavy. Twilight approached the pained fox, glancing at the book on top of her face.
"I think I see the problem." She said, levitating the book and turning it to face the others. That was most definitely not the book for the scene, as the title at the cover read The Pranking Encyclopedia, nothing useful, just heavy enough for pranks . Rainbow and Pinkie couldn't hold it in anymore and began rolling on the ground in laughter, their prank having gone off smoothly. Well... Almost.
A shadow suddenly loomed over the two, causing their laughter to cease as a chill went down their spines. Looking up, they saw Samantha with a blank expression, the side of her face that was hit by the book sporting a black eye.
"Omae wa mou shindeiru." She said, and the two gasped.
"NANI!?!?"
"CUT!!!"
"Serves you two right, my face was swollen for three hours."
"And you didn't have to spank us like that!"
"Yeah, my bottom is still sore! Owie!"
Sunny stared. The next scene was playing out so perfectly. The cast all had memorized their lines, the background ponies were doing their parts flawlessly, even Selene was doing great.
So why, oh why, did this have to happen?
"...Tell me again how you got tangled in her tails."
Blaze pouted. "I don't know! I was following the script, petting her tails while she was distracted, then this!"
Indeed, the filly was very much looking like she was in a cocoon made of Samantha's three tails. Said fox was blinking owlishly down at them, while Selene giggled in the backpack.
"Me next, me next!"
"Speak of this to anyone and I'll vaporized you slowly and painfully." The vampony said darkly. Everyone wisely took a step away from the filly.
Now we see our cast inside town hall, while Sunny was in the Mayor's office with Samantha.
"You're not serious. You're aren't, right?" Sam asked.
"Well, I needed an excuse to have the Mayor let you have a house for free. This was the first thing that came to mind. Besides, the Mayor is not old, she just dyes her mane grey."
Mayor Mare blinked. "Wait, she thought I was-"
"Fine! I'll do it... It's not like I have any choice, do I?"
Sunny grinned. "That's the spirit! Almost. Anyway, everybody to their positions! Scene nine take one, action!"
A FEW MOMENTS LATER...
Town Hall was shaking furiously. There were sounds of howls and screams and the slapping of flesh. Everypony who was inside had wisely evacuated and was now staring wide eyed as the voice of the Mayor could be heard from inside.
"Who's old now!? I still have very much youth to share!"
Sunny opened the door, a trail of blood dripping from her nostrils and down her chin.
"C... Cut..."
"I-I thought you said you got rid of that recording!"
"Relax Mayor, it's not like anypony would be stupid enough to share this."
Luna kept a straight face as she discreetly typed furiously on her phone.
Gilda struggled against the tails constricting her.
"This wasn't in the script!" She screeched.
Sunny took one look at the situation, sighed and turned around.
"Blaze! Bring me my bottle of 'Not Medicine'!"
"What is Not Medicine?"
"Something you will be having a lot should you one day be in the same position as me, Pinkie..."
Sam patted Sunny's head comfortingly.
"Alright Vinyl, Samantha. This scene is simple. Just a normal interaction between employer and future employee." Sunny explained, reading the script.
"Seems easy enough." Sam said, Vinyl nodding in agreement. Sunny returned to her chair, and took a megaphone.
"Action!"
Vinyl lowered her glasses with a sly grin. "So ya wanna work for me? I can say you have the right curves for it."
Sam giggled with a little blush. "That's kind of you. I can't wait to work for a pony like you, Mistress ~"
"CUT!!!" Exclaimed a red faced Sunny. "What the hell was THAT!?"
Sam and Vinyl looked at each other and shrugged. "You asked for a normal interaction between employee and employer. This is considered normal in this situation." Vinyl pointed out.
Sunny sputtered for a moment while Blaze rose an eyebrow.
"I'm actually afraid to ask."
"I still am actually."
Sunny screamed on a pillow she took.
Sam closed the door to Selene's room after having used her Judgement . The scene was going smoothly this time, and she headed back to the living room. She found a certain skeleton in a blue jacket waiting for her.
"Hey there lady. You don't happen to know a certain demon child and flower, do you?"
Sam blinked then turned to side, glaring at a child in a green sweater raiding her chocolate stash with a yellow flower in a pot glaring back at her.
Sunny wept that even the multiverse wouldn't let her have a perfect scene.
"I still think you didn't catch my best angle." Sans said as he sipped on a bottle of ketchup.
Sunny wept yet again.
"Okay," Sunny said. "This is a fairly simple and short scene. Pinkie will knock on the door to Sam's house and try to use her welcome wagon. Samantha will then think she is a salespony and say she's not interested in anything before slamming the door on her face."
"I can already feel something will go wrong..." Sam mumbled.
"Shush you. Alright, everyone ready? Action!"
The knock never came. Instead, an axe made a hole in the door suddenly, making everyone jump back in surprise as a straight-maned Pinkie put her head through the hole and smiled widely.
"Heeeeeeeeere's Pinkie~!"
Everyone ran away screaming.
The cast took a collective step away from the pink pony, who rolled her eyes.
"It was just a prank, sillies!"
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Blaze ignored the bloody axe in the fridge as she took a box of juice.
Sam read the script for the next scene.
"An Ursa Minor about to smash Trixie while I will suddenly have an incredible boost in speed to save her? How the hell are you gonna do that?"
The large frame of the Ursa stomped into view while everyone stared. Atop it's head, Fluttershy was teaching Blaze how to deal with the big baby.
"...And if you scratch her right behind the ear like this, you can see how happy she will be in a few minutes!" The shy pony spoke with a smile.
Blaze nodded and went over to the ear that was bigger than herself, starting to scratch behind it with her hooves. The Ursa closed it's eyes in bliss before laying down and rolling on it's back, where Blaze and Shy proceeded to start rubbing it's belly. Everyone blinked before Trixie turned to Sunny.
"Trixie is not paid enough for this."
Everyone shared a good laugh as the projector was turned off. Sunny, even though these laughs were at the expense of many hours lost with the story, it was good to see the cast just enjoying themselves like this. They worked just as hard as herself, and deserved to relax every now and then. She would say these 1.5k views were well deserved. When they calmed down, Sunny walked in front of them.
"I would like to thank everyone who suppoted and still support me with this story, it was hard getting where I am today. To think when I first joined this site I had no clue on how to do a good story, now sometimes I look back and don't believe those old things were written by me."
She took a deep breath, looking at everyone of the cast before turning to look at the reader.
"It means a lot to me when you take the time to read through what I wrote, and every like that is added to the story is another one to brighten up my day. I can't say it enough: thank you all so much."
Everyone joined together in smiling at the reader.
"THANK YOU FOR 1.5k VIEWS!!!"
Author's Note
You guys are awesome.
Like a Fox in Ponies' World
"Like a broadsword being shoved up my-!"
I was laying down on the couch, groaning in pain. After going to the backyard and seeing over a hundred different Pokémon playing around, the pain came back, thankfully a lot less intense. Imagine having your blood drained from you by a power vacuum. Having your magic drained is ten times worse than that. I glanced to my side, seeing Sparkle sending a constant stream of that energy at me.
"Explain to me again how you're healing me, I don't remember a Mewtwo having moves to heal partners." It's true, I once leafed through a site that had all of Mewtwo's moves to think up what would be the better combination. If there was a move to heal others, I would know.
"Well it's nothing too complicated, just a combination of Rest and Recover, but instead of focusing it on myself, I'm directing it outwards to you."
"It's possible to do that? Huh... Guess that's why I'm so sleepy... And another thing... Why do you sound female on my head? I always thought Mewtwo was genderless."
She blushed a little. "I wouldn't know. I have only been truly alive for a few hours now..." My face morphed into a grimace.
"So all the Pokémon out there are basically newborns, is what you're saying..."
She shrugged as if to say 'Pretty much' and kept healing me. Sparkle also told me that while I was blacked out she went to check on Selene and found the filly still sleeping peacefully on her room. I envy my daughter sometimes, being able to sleep through all this crap with a smile on her face. A few minutes later Sparkle had finished healing me and I was able to move without any pain. I was thankful for finding that no scars were left on my body, that would have been an ugly sight. Badass, but ugly.
My musings were interrupted by a knock on the door. Getting up and popping my back in several places, I went and opened the door, finding Trixie there with a bag on her back, but that wasn't what caught my attention. She was dirty, her mane was unkempt and she seemed to be favoring her left foreleg. I ushered her in and asked what happened. She sat down at the couch and told me she was ran out of town because everypony thought what happened was her fault, and that she had ran into the forest to escape the angry mob. While she was there, she had tripped and injured herself, that's why she was limping. She also said that after a few hours of crying she had remembered I told her she was welcome in my house whenever she wanted, and pleaded that I let her stay, since her wagon was completely destroyed.
"I have nowhere else to go, please, I'll do anything if you let me stay here!" She said with tears on her eyes. I wiped her tears away and hugged her gently, being careful of her injured foreleg.
"Of course you can stay, I wouldn't dream of sending you away on this state. We're friends, aren't we? You can stay for as long as you need." I said with a soft smile. She buried her face on my chest, sobbing and mumbling 'Thank you' over and over again. As a kid, I was taught by my mother that as a man, it was part of my job to always comfort a crying woman. Does that still counts now that I'm female myself?
Well, no matter. After a few minutes, Trixie had calmed down and I introduced her to Sparkle. I explained to the best of my ability what Pokémon are and from where they came from, especially the ones outside. She more or less understood, and I asked Sparkle to heal her leg. While we talked, Mew had flown in through a window, and was seemingly fascinated with Trixie. I laughed a little at how Trixie gushed at the 'Cute, floating pink cat'. I left them to their devices and went upstairs to check on Selene, Sparkle following on my wake.
When I opened the door to her room, I almost had a heart attack. The back wall had a huge hole in it, and beyond said hole, Selene was laughing loudly as she rode on Giratina's back, who seemed oddly amused with the filly. I took a deep breath, counted to ten, and asked Giratina to be careful with her. Walking back downstairs, I told Trixie I would go out for a second to run some errands. That was a lie. I was going to Purple's house to demand some answers. I also asked Sparkle to accompany me, she would be able to tell if Purple was lying or not. Walking through town, the both of us got some uneasy looks, probably due to the fact I had an unknown creature to them following me. Now that I think about it, looking back towards my house I could see Ray drifting lazily above it, seemingly content to just observe it's new surroundings. Others were also visible, like Latios and Latias playing with each other, Dash the Lugia seemed to be looking around for a deep body of water, the previously mentioned Giratina flying around with Selene, I could also see Moltress, Zapdos and Articuno flying about as well. I made a note to find a place to some of these Legendaries to live comfortably, meaning I would have to get a map of the land.
That's for later, right now I have found Purple's treebrary again finally. Though it wasn't so hard, it was more or less visible from Town Hall. Walking up to the door and knocking on it, I asked myself what's wrong with this world as the door opened. Beyond it, there were books strewn about everywhere with Purple being surrounded by at least ten of them, but that wasn't in my focus. Said focus was in the small lizard (I was informed by Trixie the correct term was baby dragon) wearing a pink apron with a heart in the front. Blinking slowly while he seemed to panic before throwing the apron off and smoothing his scales (What?), before giving me a smile.
"W-welcome to Golden Oaks Library, miss Fox! How can I help you?"
Did he stutter? Maybe he was a little put off by Sparkle behind me. It's not like he may have some kind of attraction to me, I mean, he's just a baby. Heh, that would be ridiculous.
"Right uh... I'm here to speak with Purple." I told him, looking at what could probably become a book hazard. Have you ever accidentally stepped on a hard cover? I have. Must have made a new record in string cussing that day.
"You mean Twilight? Sure, she's just looking at some books in search of what was that giant creature of yesterday. Come in, I'll get you some tea."
I lowered my head and stepped in, being mindful of the sea of books. I could now imagine Purple as some kind of book shark, hah. I found my way to a couch and sat my impressive ass down, making it creak in protest. Sparkle opted to sit in a lotus position in the air, her tail braced on the ground making it seem that she was balanced atop it. Or maybe she was, I don't know how strong her tail is. Anyway, we watched as the little dragon shook Purple out of her zone where she finally took notice of us, mostly Sparkle, and rushed over, about to bombard the Mewtwo in questions. How did I know? She reeks of someone who has a deep desire of knowledge. No really, she literally reeks, I could see some flies around her. Regardless of that, I covered her mouth with one of my tails to prevent the interrogation, successfully grabbing her attention. She glanced at me as if she just noticed I was in the room and I gave her a blank stare.
"I am the one who shall ask questions here, agreed?" I removed my tail and waited for any noise of confirmation- nope, she is now bombarding ME with questions. Getting fed up of this, I decided to take on drastic measures. By nature, foxes are predators, while ponies are prey, so this should work.
Peeling my lips back to exposed my sharp teeth, I snarled right at her face. The effect was immediate, she clammed up, her ears flattened against her head, her eyes widened and her pupils shrunk. I knew it was wrong to laugh at that, but I must admit I snickered a little at her face. I think that she almost wet herself. That aside, she was quiet now, which was good, I could finally ask what I wanted to. So, taking a deep breath, I adopted a serious expression.
"Purple, answer me. Why was Trixie ran out of town?"
She seemed to recover a little and proceeded to tell me the exact events that happened while I wasn't present. The little dragon, whose name I learned was Spike, joined us after a few moments, bringing with him a pot of tea and some cups, of which I took one for myself while I listened. Apparently the mix of the Nightmare act and Trixies story about defeating an Ursa Major led two brats to think that they could bring one to town so she could "defeat it like in her story". From Purple's description, the two foals were two dimwits that believed in everything they heard and were punished accordingly. But even when the truth about who was at fault came out, it seems some ponies still thought it was somehow Trixie's fault, leading to the mob running her out of town. When I asked if she at least tried to speak up in Trixie's defense, Purple stayed silent. I rubbed my face in disappointment and told her how Trixie appeared in my house dirty and injured. Purple looked very ashamed of herself.
"You know, ponies like you are such a pain." I said with a groan. "Like a broadsword being shoved up my-!"
"Okay! I get it!" She interrupted with a deep blush. Before sighing and looking away. "Please tell Trixie I'm sorry..."
I nodded and stood up, turning to leave. Before I was out of the door, I looked at her over my shoulder.
"By the way, I'm pretty sure you won't find anything about the creatures of yesterday in any if your books, so no need to search. I know what they are, but I don't want to tell you at this point in time. Maybe someday down the line, who knows." I ducked outside with Sparkle and closed the door behind me before she could open her mouth. I could swear I heard a loud belch from inside before I left. Gross.
"So..." I heard Sparkle ask. "Now what?"
"Well first, try to make this," I gestured in the direction of my house and the Pokémon flying around it. "Part of our 'normal' routine. Second will be find some places that would be good to some of these Pokémon, I'm sure some of them won't like the weather here."
Sparkle glanced at the backyard of my house, seeing the sky divided in certain parts by Hail, Rain Dance and Sunny Day.
"...That's a good point."
"Anyway, I'll discuss this later with my bosses, for now I just want to relax and maybe get to know my new friends for a while."
Sparkle nodded as we walked through the market. I found a place to buy the map I needed and started planning where some of my Pokémon could stay. I already see some good ones but I would have to make sure first. I showed the map to Sparkle and we discussed who could potentially go where, as she explained to me how this land's (which I finally learned was named Equestria) natural energy had enhanced her telepathic abilities a lot, so she could contact the other Pokémon whenever they were if we needed it. Putting the map away as I approached the house, I stopped just as I grabbed the handle. There was a huge presence in the backyard, I could feel. So, walking around the house, me and Sparkle went to investigate. The sheer absurdity of what I found made my jaw drop a little.
"Ah, welcome home Creator! I have been waiting for you to come back to meet you properly!"
It was. Frickin'. Arceus.
...I think that broadsword just reached my brain.
Author's Note
HUZZAH!!! I AM NOT DED!!!
Sunny apologizes if it seemed like a new chapter wouldn't come out, it's been a little hard to come up with good scenarios to continue with this, but here you go! A brand new chapter!
Now for some announcements. Included in the story are now all the Pokémon I ever caught in the games I played, including hack roms, but I want suggestions of where some of the Legendaries could reside. Also, changed the rating to M just to be a little safer, but don't worry. Nothing too extreme will happen for now. Now please, wait patiently for the next chapter, because I am now working on new chapters for 'Tails of Fate' and 'The Chaos Has Been Tripled!'. It's been some time since I last updated these two, so I'm gonna fix that.
As always, let me know in the comments if I made any error, and keep your suggestions coming! I'll end up using them, just wait. In a side note, when this story hit 3k views I'll have a special comment driven chapter, so wait for the blog post with that announcement!
Sunny shall leave now! BREAD FOR EVERYPONY!!!
Like a Fox in Ponies' World
"You know, smoking is bad for your health."

Okay, so... After having my brain restarted properly, I took a moment to process everything. The most prominent thought was 'Wut?', followed closely by 'Wat?'. Pushing those aside, I finally cleared my head enough to start coming up with some speculations. I know for a fact that I couldn't have possibly survived the backlash of having created Arceus alongside the rest of the Pokémon outside, but the fact he called me Creator dismisses the idea that he's the original one coming to see why some of his creations suddenly appeared in a different dimension. Let's see if the theory I have is true.
"Arceus," I began. "I have a question for you."
"Of course Creator, what would you like to know?" I tried to ignore a shudder at my apparent new title as I posed my question.
"Did you help me create all the other Pokémon that are here?"
He nodded. "Oh yes, I came into being right after young Sparkle there, and sensed you were in a lot of pain, so I decided to alleviate the strain in your body by directing your power into myself and amplifying it so you wouldn't have to keep providing all the energy needed for the others to come into being. The drain was still considerable, but thanks to the combined efforts of Sparkle and me, it wasn't fatal."
Well that's just great. Barely a month in this new world and I already almost died. I wonder how I am not freaking out over this. No wait, I am, it's just buried very deep on the back of my head. Huh. That aside, I at least confirmed my theory, if I almost didn't survive only creating three legendaries, no way I would survive creating the rest of them. Yes, the rest. Like any normal Pokémon player, I too would actively search and catch all the legendaries in the game. Let me tell you, I wasted a lot of save states doing that, but I happen to think it was worth it. But it seems this has come back to bite my big ass, as I'll have to find places where my Pokémon could feel comfortable. I mean, I could see Kyogre over in the further part of my backyard in a big, apparently artificial made lake that was barely big enough for him.
I sighed and decided to present my concerns to Arceus. Turns out I apparently won't need to worry too much about some of the Legends, namely the ones who can easily go from one place to the other. Articuno, Zapdos and Moltress are just waiting for me to give permission so they can leave to find someplace good to live, same with Dash the Lugia and some others. Still, the majority of the other Pokémon apparently want to stay close to me, so I guess I'll have to make some alterations to my backyard...
Better not delay then.
It's been a few days already since I started remodeling the backyard. With Trixie living with us now, I could finally do my things without worrying Selene is unsupervised. The fact that she is easily distracted by the Dark and Ghost types that hang around inside also helps only that regard. In that time I have managed to use my powers to make some things that would help my little friends. Just to the side of my house I made my own Pokémon Center, in case something happened. Again, took a lot of energy to create the complicated machines I knew I would need. Also another thing to make was a warehouse inside the center where I could store all the Pokeballs I was apparently carrying in the Bag. See, one day I was wondering where all the Balls were, and almost flooded my room with them when they suddenly flowed like a river from the Bag. In the warehouse I decided to store the balls in alphabetical order, just to be safe.
It may not look like it, but I am a organized person- Err, fox.
Back on topic, my backyard now had some separated lakes where everyone could have fun, areas where the Pokes could train themselves if they wanted, enough flatlands so that they don't have to run in circles, some rock formations for the ones who liked that, and even a pool of magma for the fire types.
I have a big backyard.
That all aside, I believe the hardest part of all are the tunnels and caves that are still in progress under my property. Thankfully there were already some natural caves there, it was only a simple matter of branching them with enough caution so it wouldn't collapse everything above. Makes me thankful Pokémon are smart and understand when to not risk unnecessarily.
Taday was my day off from working at the Classical Wubs , and I decided to search for somewhere that would be good enough for Kyogre and Groudon to live. With Kyogre was a simple matter of finding the ocean, which I could ask Dash to fly me to. I am lighter than I look apparently, women back on Earth would be so jealous. Anyway, a few minutes ago I spotted some smoke coming from a nearby mountain. Okay, a LOT of smoke. Maybe it's a volcano or something, so I decided to climb it for two reasons. The first is that that is probably a good place for Groudon to stay. The second?
Fire Leon's comment
Because I found a cool Grappling Hook. I don't know from what game or series it is, I don't know how it got here, I don't know why, but I don't care. It's here now, and it's mine.
So I'm gonna put it to use. Oh yeah, and also because Groudon might be able to keep the volcano under control, I won't have my house burning down in lava so soon after I moved in. Anyways, I asked Trixie to watch over Selene and the house while I was gone, got some things that I thought would be necessary, picked Groudon's Ball from the warehouse and set on my trek.
This was gonna be fun!
This is not fun.
On my way up the mountain, I somehow missed a gap on the ground when there was a tremor somewhere nearby and almost fell down a somehow big cliff that was on it. The Hook saved my butt on that. Further up, I was forced to deviate from the main path, because apparently the tremor I felt earlier was an avalanche that blocked off the way. Wait, should I call that an avalanche or a rock slide? Hmm, question for later. At least I erred on the side of caution and conjured some mountain climbing clothes and other stuff. (I look sexy on these too.)
My poor feet were hurting from the uneven ground when I finally reached the top where the smoke was coming from. And guess who I found there? Surprise surprise, it was Purple and her band. We stared at each other for a moment before pointing and exclaiming at the same time.
"Are you following me or something!?"
"My luck, you owe me a soda." I added quickly with a snicker, watching in satisfaction as she sputtered in confusion.
My fun was cut short when a big cloud of smoke came out of the giant cave, sending us all into a coughing fit. That was followed shortly by Skittles darting into the cave and yelling something I couldn't hear from over here. But then a loud roar echoed and I saw her doing a great impression of Sonic's Hooming Attack mixed with a bowling ball when she knocked her friends down like bowling pins. I was lucky to be standing a little to the side, and would have laughed at that if a literal DRAGON hadn't walked out of the cave.
The universe just loves to spite me.
So there was I, staring blankly up at the dragon, when there was this loud shout of "HOW DARE YOU!?!?" from behind me. Imagine my surprise when I turned around to see sweet and kind Fluttershy with an angry face as she glared at the giant lizard. Imagine my further surprise when she flew up to it's face and started SCOLDING the dragon! And for a moment it even seemed to be working. But whatever it was that she did, the dragon shook it's head for a moment before roaring at her, making her eyes widen in fear and her wings snapped shut, making her plummet to the ground.
"I got her!" I shouted as my left eye gained a blue glow, the same glow enveloping Fluttershy's body and slowly her fall as I set her gently on the ground. Guess I learned something new due to the situation.
Gravity Manipulation Change the gravity of one or more targets by using your SOUL's magic.
After making sure the yellow pegasus was alright and ignoring the many looks I was receiving from the other ponies, I turned my attention back to a certain dragon, who was currently venting smoke from it's nostrils and the corners of it's mouth. Huh, so this was the source of all that smoke I saw? This dragon has serious problems.
"You know, smoking is bad for your health." The comment slid out before I could contain myself, which had the undesired effect of making the dragon take notice me, and I barely ducked under the claw swipe that followed.
"Hey! Why don't you pick on someone your own size!?" I shouted while taking Groudon's Ball from the bag and throwing it on the air. "Groudon, come teach this overgrown lizard a lesson!"
I ignored the shouts of surprise made by the ponies as Groudon appeared in a flash of light and roared at the dragon, who roared right back. Let's see if I'm still good at this.
A WILD DRAGON APPEARED!
Right away I noted that the sunlight seemed a little bit brighter. Apparently Groudon's ability Drought is now active and OH SHIT ATTACK INCOMING.
Apparently at the 0.5 seconds I took to think about Groudon's ability the Dragon charged right at him, tackling him down the mountain. Welp, gotta go after them and see if Groudon is okay after that one, and also to make sure they don't wreck anything important. But how am I gonna get... Down...
I facepalmed.
Oh look at the silly MAGICAL Kitsune who forgot she could MAGICALLY do things with MAGIC.
I wanted to kick myself for this, but I'll have time to experiment with clones later, so with a running start, I dove off the top of the mountain head-first, ignoring the second round of gasps behind me. I forgot the ponies where there in the first place, but that's not important. Calling in my Monster Magic , I made the upper half of a blaster under myself and rode my way to the ground before dismissing it. Apparently Groudon had managed to throw the dragon off and was now facing it, sparing a small glance when I landed by his side.
"You okay, buddy?" I asked, knowing that like all the others, he could understand me perfectly. My response was a single nod, and I let out a sigh of relief at that. Turning back to the dragon I decided to go with my normal strategy in the games.
First half, analyze the opponent.
"Just hold out for now, okay? We'll get our chance to strike back."
Groudon nodded again and braced itself. The dragon seemed to take that as it's cue to attack again, this time with a Flamethrower. It didn't seem to do all that much damage to Groudon though, and that seemed to anger the dragon even more, who swopped down to Slash with it's claws. Again, the lack of any apparent damage seemed to make the dragon angrier, and it looked like it was preparing a stronger Flamethrower, but I had finished my analysis. This dragon can be considered a Fire/Dragon type (no shit), so Ground, Rock and Dragon type moves will deal more damage. Now for the second half...
Destroy my opponent with super effectiveness.
"Alright Groudon, you ready to fight back?" A nod. "Then let's bring that overgrown lizard to the ground! Use Rock Slide!"
Groudon roared as multiple rocks started materializing above the dragon before falling atop it. The dragon did notice and tried to dodge the attack, but still got hit multiple times, making it lose altitude, which lead to the next part of our attack.
"It's close enough now! Use Dragon Claw!"
His claws covered in green energy, Groudon dashed up to the dragon and slashed at it, sending it tumbling through the ground with a pained roar.
I grinned. "Now, finish it with Earthquake!"
With yet another roar, Groudon brought a foot up before stomping down hard, making the ground start to tremble and undulate like waves in an ocean. The result was the dragon being tossed around, unable to get a proper footing to take to the air again. When the ground finally stopped rumbling, I watched the dragon, daring it to get up and attack again.
"I yield..." Well would you look at that! The overgrown lizard can talk after all. I signalled for Groudon to stand down as I approached the dragon.
"Alright buddy, start explaining yourself. What did the ponies do to you to make you go all ballistic on us like that?"
It- no, not it, he- huffed in annoyance and spoke in a rumbling voice. "They were trying to make me leave my nest. I assumed you would do the same."
I rose an eyebrow. "Okay, I understand this part, but the question is WHY were they trying to do that?"
He harrumped. "Something about how I can't take my one hundred years nap here because the smoke is covering the place or something. A little smoke never made bad to anydragon."
This time both my eyebrows rose in disbelief. "A LITTLE smoke!? Fuck's sake man, all that smoke blocked the sun almost completely! Also, you have some serious anger issues! They wanted you to leave because there's a village on the base of this mountain, you can't just sleep and cover them in smoke for a hundred years! Why did you even picked this spit anyway? It's not like it's the only mountain in the world!"
I had to stop myself when I noticed that I was ranting like an angry mother. And the dragon seemed to look away in a little embarrassment. I took a deep breath, rubbing my temples a little.
"Look, can't you just... Find someplace else to sleep? Somewhere where nobody lives preferably."
He let out a sigh, blowing out some smoke but agreed nonetheless. I reached in my bag and retrieved a Full Restore, applying it to his injuries. A few moments later and he was back to full health, to which he thanked me, albeit in his own way.
"You did an adequate job." Is what he said.
I took a few moments to get to know the guy, who was named Kor'vak. He told me a little bit about himself and I did the same in turn. He kept praising Groudon's prowess in combat, and said he wouldn't mind sparring with him in a later date. We finally reached an agreement that he would pack his hoard and find somewhere uninhabited to sleep and Groudon would live in the depths of the cave atop the mountain, where apparently there is some veins of lava after all. Also, according to some dragon battle code or something, for defeating Kor'vak in battle I now had a right to one fouth of his hoard. Cool.
After returning Groudon to his pokeball for a moment, Kor'vak flew me back to the top of the mountain, where we spotted Purple and the others just standing there staring at us. Fluttershy also seemed to have recovered from he fear induced paralysis. Kor'vak glanced at me for a moment and I shrugged, not knowing what to do of them also. He stood there for a moment before walking past them and into the cave to pack up. I meanwhile just stood there awkwardly with six pairs of eyes on me. Purple's mouth seemed to be moving uo and down like a fish while her manewas sticking up in various places. Heh.
"I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!" She finally managed to get out. I crossed my arms.
"Well too bad, I ain't answering anything."
I snickered to myself as her eye started twitching before Kor'vak exited the cave with the part of the hoard he would take with him.
"Well, I shall depart now, young Samantha. I hope our paths cross on better terms in the future." He said before taking flight.
I waved to him for a moment before I heard Purple shout again. "You made friends with a dragon so fast!?"
I stuck my tongue out at her. "Jealous?"
I laughed as her friends had to drag her away after that one, with Fluttershy sparing a moment to thank me for saving her again. Once they were gone, I walked into the cave and let Groudon out again so he can start finding his way around while I took a look at my part of the hoard. And holy shit that pile is bigger than myself! Gold, jewels and other shit, it was all there in a pile I don't even know how tall is. I stepped closer and picked up one of the gold coins.
"How am I gonna carry all that?"
My answer came as the coin in my hand disappeared, followed by the entire pile also vanishing as a small screen appearing in my vision with a lot of numbers rolling for a moment before stopping.
1.754.329 bits acquired. Sent to bag.
"Oh. That's... Useful. That screen is interesting though, what if..."
I narrowed my eyes at the little screen, pulling on my Will Magic and using my imagination to shape it to my tastes. Soon, the screen was replaced by one full of small squares with the image of my bag on it's left side, with one part highlighted. Haha, now this is a lot more useful.
Inventory Screen A more organized way to take, store and see what's in your bag.
Good, this will do for now. I might personalize it in the future with some other things, but this is enough for now. Taking a moment to glance at the area I place the bits counter, I saw it was marked 1.754 329 bits, just like the screen I had before. Well, money won't be a problem for a long while. I dismissed the screen and watched Groudon for a moment, seeing he walk deeper in the cave, probably to look for the lave veins Kor'vak talked about. Seeing nothing else for me to do, I decided it was time to head home.
Which is what I would have done, if the floor hadn't suddenly disappeared from under me.
I didn't manage to take two steps before a portal opened under my feet, swallowing my bottom half. I managed to grab the edges, straining to pull myself out of the hole in reality, but whatever it was it seemed to be sucking me in. I opened my mouth to call out to Groudon for help, but my hand slipped before I could get any sound out.
I fell for no more than five seconds before my back impacted something hard, probably the ground, and knocked the air from my lungs. Followed by my bag landing on top of me right after, knocking even more air from me. My vision slowly darkened, but before I lost consciousness completely, I managed to catch a glimpse of three more rifts like the one I fell through, and witnessed Trixie, Selene and Sparkle fall through them on the ground somewhere to my side.
And then I blacked out...

"I should have seen if the drink was alcoholic..."
I groaned, head pounding as I lay on my back on the cold wooden ground. There was no sunlight in my eyes, so I assumed I must have slept through the whole day. That's is a new personal record.
Must have been one pretty wild party... I thought to myself. I need to get up to wash myself though. I slowly started to lift my head and- Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow, bad idea, bad idea! Oh god, it hurts so much! I immediately laid my head back down carefully, feeling the pain dull somewhat. While on the ground, the smell of paper assaulted my nose, leading me to believe I was either on my sister's room (she's a bookworm) or in a library somewhere. Either one was possible, since I tend to get wasted easily on most parties I go to, and I can be easily swayed to do anything, like going to a library butt naked, which I don't doubt is what happened. I had friends that really loved to troll me. After a few minutes, I slowly picked my head up again. Still hurts a lot.
"Ugh, I should have seen if the drink was alcoholic..."
I slowly trailed off at the sound of my voice. That... That's a woman's voice. A hot one at that. I must be more wasted than I thought. Slowly opening my eyes, I was greeted by a curtain of yellowish orange hair. Dafuq? My hair is not that big. Must be a wig or something.
Thinking that it was part of a prank some friends are playing on me, I reached up with my hands to move it out of my eyes, but stopped at what I saw. It were my hands but... Not. Connected to an arm covered in fur the same color of the wig that covered my eyes, it started to turn a light brown from the forearm down until the fingers. My mouth opened in disbelief. This must be a really elaborated prank. I wiggled my fingers, and the appendage in front of me mimicked it. The other hand was the same thing. I reached one hand on the other and pulled on the short fur, feeling it pulling on my skin. Same with what I thought was a wig, when I tried to pull it off, I felt it pulling on my scalp. I reached to the sides of my head, but didn't feel anything there. Slowly moving up to the to of my head, I felt two soft furry protrusions that must be my ears. Dread started to fill my being as I urgently sat up, but almost fell forward due to a weight on my chest. I froze and slowly reached a hand up to my chest, but instead stopped when I felt something soft and round. I looked down and was greeted by two breasts. They were almost the size of a football, I think even a little bigger. Those were some sexy pair of knockers. I started to droll a little before remembering that they were actually attached to my chest. I gulped, reached a hand down south and patted the area between my legs. It... It was gone. MY PAINIS IS GONE!!!
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
I started hyperventilating. My PINGAS is gone. I am not male anymore. Oh god, how am I gonna get laid now!? I gulped at the thought of receiving the D instead of giving it. During that moment, I felt movement behind me. Risking a glance behind me, I was greeted by three tails attached to my backside. They were the same color as the rest of my fur with the tips being white.
"Wait, three? That's not normal... No wait, I remember watching an anime about something like this, what was the name of the creature again? It was some sort of fox... A karin... A kochi... A Kit...sune? Is that what I am now?" I gulped again hearing my new voice. "A female Kitsune...?" Oh god I'm gonna be sick. But I need to calm down to find out what the fuck is going on. I stood up but wobbled a little.
Holy shit I got freaking tall! I went from being a shorty 5 five feet 9 inches to the impressive height of 8 feet 4 inches. And I was not awkwardly high, my figure was actually rather curvy, and dare I say, extremely sexy. While I examined myself, something finally came to light. Aside from a bra and panties, I was completely naked. There was a beat. And then my whole face went red as I physically tried to stop a nosebleed with my hands over my nose.
A few minutes of that later, I again brought my hands up to my breasts and gave them an experimental squeeze. It was... A little weird to say the least, but the sensation was actually good. So distracted was I by my knockers that I didn't notice the door opening until the lights turned on. I looked at the entrance to see who it was, but had to look down as I noticed the small purple equine with an even smaller purple lizard on her back. We stared at each other for a moment before the lizard fell off the equine's back with a severe case of nosebleed. That in turn prompted my brain to catch up with me again, and I yelled the first thing that came to mind.
"PERVERTED TINY HORSE AND LIZARD!!!!"
The horse's purple face took on a red tint and it started sputtering incoherently, while I took the opportunity to vault over it and run outside. It was... Partially successful, since I smacked my face on the top of the door due to my new height before I ducked and ran outside, taking off on a random direction, never even once noticing how everything seemed rather silent.
I don't know for how long I have been running, but I must say I was quite impressed that I was only slightly winded. I decided to stop running and look around my surroundings. I was in some forest, the dark and creepy kind. And there was a branch poking my ass. I sighed, wishing I had some clothes my size to not wander around naked. My new ears swiveled around at the sound of a POP behind me. Turning around to investigate, I was greeted by a pile of neatly folded clothes consisting of light blue pants, a light blue shirt and a black sleeveless coat. I blinked and picked the clothes up. Deciding to try them out, I was surprised that not only the clothes fit me perfectly, but they were loose enough to not squeeze my now large assets. But where did those come from? I was thinking of clothes that fit me tben I heard a pop... Could it be? I then closed my eyes and imagined my phone, and with another POP, I felt a square shape in my new pants' pocket. Taking it out and turning it on, I was happy to see that it was indeed my phone, with everything still saved in it's memory. I turned it off and put it back on my pocket before deciding to take another look around.
It's been some minutes since I entered this forest, and the only thing of interest that happened was my encounter with a wooden wolf. No, I'm serious: it was literally a wolf MADE of WOOD! It took one sniff at me and sat down wagging it's tail, and I said 'Fuck it' and scratched it behind the ears before continuing in my way, the wood wolf going back to wherever it came from. I honestly ran out of my post-waking up fucks to give, I mean, I am a (very sexy) female Kitsune, and I witnessed a purple lizard have a nosebleed and fall off the back of a purple miniature horse. Seriously, the thing didn't even reach half of my height, I think it was approximately 4 feet tall. Shaking my head, I noticed ahead of me what appeared to be a rope bridge. Peering down, I was greeted by a black abyss under the bridge, which caused me to gulp. On the other side, there appeared to be some abandoned castle. I won't deny that the first thing that came to mind was-
"LOST TREASURE!!!"
Carefully making my way to the other side, and thankfully managing to make it safely, I walked in the direction of the castle, pushing aside the busted doors with a CREEEEEAK. Wincing slightly from the loud noise, I started my exploration for lost trasures. Hopefully there wold be some left if some exploration party came here. Some unknown time later, I started hearing voices. So, against better judgement, I followed the sounds, which lead up to the old throne room. There was the pervert purple horse thing I saw in the library on one side of the room, and now that I paid attention, I noticed a horn on her head. A tiny unicorn then? On the other side of the room, there was this taller black horse, and from my perspective, she sported a horn and a pair of bat-like wings. Both turn to me with looks of confusion until the tiny unicorn recognized me!
"You!?" She exclaimed.
"Me! Hello again, perverted tiny unicorn horse thing!" Again, ran out of fucks to give.
I snickered as she (at least I think it's a she) started sputtering again. "Wha- but- I'm not- you- I-I'm not a horse! I'm a pony!"
"Whatever." I said and turned my attention to the other horse- well, pony according to Purple- in the room. She (again, assuming it's a she) was standing over the broken shards of something. Not my problem. She was also looking between me and purple pervert (I think I'll call her that from now on) with what I assume was confusion. I walked over to her as she looked up at me. She barely came up to my chest, not counting the sharp horn. That thing looked like it can impale anyone. Now that I am this close, I noticed how her cyan eyes are cat-like: slits in place of normal pupils. I took a step back and started scratching my chin in thought.
"Are you some sort of unicorn-bat-cat hybrid?" I decided to ask, because why not?
I resisted the urge to laugh at black snooty (it just seemed right to call her that) as she started sputtering. "Wha- you- I'm-" She then glared at me and started shouting. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, TO DARE INSULT ME!? I AM NIGHTMARE MOON, BRINGER OF ETERNAL NIGHT, YOU FOOLISH CREATURE!!!"
I was covering my ears as the force of the shout was enough to make my hair be blown back. Shaking my head and unplugging my fingers from my ears, I frowned at black snooty, or Nightmare Moon.
"Firstly, ouch! That fucking hurt! Learn to talk without shouting! Secondly, I am..." I paused a little to think. I couldn't really say that my name is Samuel, it's a male's name, and I definitely am not male anymore. "...Samantha. Samantha the Kitsune. And thirdly, why the hell do you want to destroy the world!?"
Confusion flashed on Nightmare's face before she frowned. "What do you mean, I said that I would bring eternal night, not world destruction."
I gave her a 'Are you serious' look. "Um, you do know that without the light of the sun, the planet will slowly start to freeze over, right? Since the sun that provides warmth during the day will never come. And that is only on this side of the planet. What about the other side, that will have eternal day? Everything there will start to wither and die in the heat, before the land starts to get scorched, since the night that was supposed to come and give things time to cool off wouldn't exist there. So yeah, eternal night actually means world destruction."
By the time I finished with my explanation, both Nightmare and Purple were looking at me with dropped jaws. "What? Didn't you know that? It's common sense!"
Nightmare shook her head before looking at me with a glare that could melt steel. "Y-you're lying! You must have been sent by Celestia to stop me!"
"Who?"
"But you won't succeed! The Elements of Harmony are gone! Nothing can stand in my way!" With that she started to cackle like a true villain. I merely massaged my temples in annoyance and looked over at Purple. She seemed to be looking me up and down.
"Try to catch another glimpse, pervert?" However, she ignored me when some voices started to come from behind the door, from were five ponies came through. A cyan one and a yellow one with wings, a white one with a horn, and a orange one and a pink one with neither. God, those colors are making me feel nauseous. What followed next, was some speech about aspects of friendship or some crap from Purple, and then they all started floating in the air with the shards I saw earlier floating around them, as a spherical rock appeared over Purple's head. What happened after that, I can only describe as a 'Rainbow Kamehameha'. I wisely took some steps to the side and watched as Nightmare was engulfed by the blast before protecting my eyes from the light show.
When my vision had cleared enough, I saw that black snooty was gone, and on the ground in her place was a smaller dark blue horse. She appeared to have a horn, but normal feathery wings. Panning my attention to the other side of the room, I saw Purple and her friends slowly picking themselves up from the ground. They all were wearing some sorta golden necklaces, except Purple had this tiara/crown thingy. So, magical artifacts maybe? Should have swiped the shards for myself then. And then suddenly this big (in comparison to them at least) white winged unicorn appeared in a flash of light and started talking with Purple and the others before walking to the blue winged unicorn and addressing her. I just sort of awkwardly stood there for a moment, before coughing slightly. And then all the attention in the room was at me.
"..." I stared.
"..." They stared back.
I decided to do the only thing I could at the moment. So, smiling, I turned around and began walking out while singing to myself.
🎵"Fuck this shit I'm out."🎵
"Wait!"
But I was already gone, deeper into the castle.
It's been two hours. I am assuming they tried looking for me but gave up and left, since everything is silent again. That's good, because I am most certainly gonna be crashing into this castle for a while. During my constant wandering, I found plenty of secret passages, and one even led to a library. But that's not what I'm looking for right now, I am in search of a bedroom with a bed that was in at least ok conditions. Having found another empty one, I was starting to dread that I would be sleeping on the ground until I remembered something. Focusing on a the empty space of the bedroom, a small flash went off followed by a POP! And one second later there was a bed complete with mattress and a pillow in front of me. I smiled and laid down on it, covering myself with the mattress to sleep. But I started feeling really uncomfortable, so I reluctantly stripped down, leaving only my bra and panties on. It was still a little weird to be the opposite gender, and a small part of me still hoped this was only an alcohol induced dream, but a bigger part knew better. So with a sigh, I laid back down. I was almost asleep when my now sensitive ears caught a sound.
It was the sound of a baby crying.
How's that possible? I'm sure nothing lives here, and there's no way a family with a small child would travel this forest and come here with their child. Curiosity got the better of me, and I put my clothes back on before going to investigate. Looking around, I was confused when the crying lead to a wall. Running a hand over it, I found a loose brick and pressed down, being rewarded by the sound of rumbling before the wall slid aside, revealing a bedroom in perfect state, even the curtains on the window were intact. Everything had this night sky theme to it, which I admit, was kinda nice. However, my analysis was interrupted when I found the source of the crying, which happened to be on the bed. I approached, and when I caught a glimpse of what it was, my jaw dropped.
"What in the flying fuck...?"
There laying on the night themed mattress, was a black baby unicorn with bat wings. It was a foal Nightmare Moon.
