Chapters It was the first night of Summer, Spike didn't go to school, but Twilight did give him a vacation from work this time of year, and there was no way he was gonna waste it, or at the very least he was gonna waste it his way, he had planed to stay in his room, but Twilight was having a sleep over, and they had started playing music from some stupid colt band, naturally he had fled the castle to spare his ears, as he walked he looked to the stars, the girls where celebrating to defeat of some chimera that had rampaged threw town. Spike sighed
"I wish I could be brave like them, but all I did was run and hide" Spike closed his eyes and sighed once more "I wish I could help them out" he opened them and saw a shooting star "wow....WHOA!" Spike yelped as the star suddenly acted like it had hit an invisible wall and ricocheted down to earth, in a flash of light a crater was formed 20 feet in front of Spike. Spike was silent for a second, then ran to the crater and looked in to see a stage metal orb. before he could do more it opened up to reveal a cool looking watch.
"Whoa!" Spike said as he made his way into the crater and reached for it, his hand stopped when he realized it might not be smart to touch some weird space watch, but too late, the Watch moved on its own and clamped down on Spikes' wrist, Spike did the reasonable thing, he freaked out 'GEA!! GET OFF!!! GET OFF, GET OFF, GET OFF!!" After a good minute of freaking, Spike calmed down...
"OK, so maybe if I hit this button it might co..." the Watches top popped up and showed a black figure on the dial, Spike looked at it for a second then sighed "I know I'm gonna regret this, but I'm just too curious" Spike pressed down on the dial and was blinded by green light, when he opened his eyes he found
"I'm now on fire, good thing I'm a dragon, I'll just....no....no I'm not on fire...I'M MADE OF FIRE!!!" Spike looked around at his new body. As he looked around he held out his hand and shot jets of fire out of his palms.
"Dude! this is so cool, I look and sound like some weird monster dude!!" the symbol on his chest suddenly beeped and talked to him.
"Incorrect, Current Alien Species: Pyronite. Home Planet: The Star Pyros " Heatblast looked down at the symbol.
"So are you alive or something?" The Symbol did not reply "Weird...everything about this is weird and cool at the same time" he looked around and was just about to turn around and go back to the castle to tell Twilight when he heard a familiar Scream "That was Apple Bloom!" Heatblast turned and ran in the direction of the scream and ended up at the edge of Sweet apple acres. in front of him, a small group of Timber Wolves where attempting to get at Apple Bloom and Big Mac, Big Mac was fighting them off with a Shovel, but they were closing in
"Hold on" Heatblast said as he jumped into action and punched one of the Wolves on the top of its head, it turned and snarled, but instantly whimpered at the living Fire in front of it, it ran back and as soon as all the Timberwolves noticed all they turned tail and ran as fast as they could. "hu..Guess they're scared of Me" Heatblast remarked as he looked at the stunned duo in front of him "You two all right?" after a second Apple bloom looked at him and asked, "Are you a superhero?" Big mac cut her off "Doesn't matter, if it weren't for you me and my sister would be dog food" Heatblast smiled and after thinking for a second he said "No problem, I just um...crashed here, but I'm Glad I could help" and with that he turned and with his palms down, Blasted off into the night. "Wow," Apple Bloom said as she and Big Mac hurried home "That guy was cool"
Heatblast flew back to the field he had found the watch when the symbol on his chest turned red and with a loud beep and a flash of red, He was Spike again. He was Silent for a second then looked at the now red watch and said "Look's Like my wish came true"
Author's Note
(he's Heatblast, if you don't know how he looks, then stop reading and go watch Ben 10)
When Spike woke up in the morning he quickly checked his wrist to see if it had all been a dream. Nope the watch was still there
"Oh this is awesome!" he said as he opened to door and went downstairs for breakfast but stopped when he heard the Mane 6 freaking out, he decided breakfast could wait until after he apologized for freaking them out. He walked in the room and found them deep in debate
"We need to find that creep before it can do any harm, It could cause some serious trouble!" Twilight was saying as Spike walked in
"Hey, guys..."
"Not now Spike, I think if we search through the library we could possibly find a good spell so can track it and...
"Twilight I..."
"Not now Spike, and if we can track it maybe we can find out what it wants"
"HEY!!!" Spike yelled causing them all to turn to see him press the button on the watch and see the Dial come up "Check it!" he said before pressing the Dial down and ,in a Bright Flash, Ghostfreak was back. The 6 looked at him in complete shock "I can do this now! Sorry for the scare but the opportunity was too good to pass up!" he said as he phased through the door "see you guys at breakfast" and with that Ghostfreak flew to the Kitchen waving a peace sign at them, by the time the Mane 6 came to the Kitchen the Watch had timed out and Spike was eating a bowl of cereal with gems in it.
"Spike...." Twilight said, "You have some explaining to do."
"where to start...I guess I should start wi..." Spike was interrupted by a loud explosion outside "Explanation later, Explosions now!" the 7 ran out to the sight of a large 3 legged robot destroying the town
"Girls lets go, and where not done with this Spike" Twilight said before they all ran to deal with the robot, after they had gone far enough Spike pressed the button and looked at the Icons.
"Who here can take on a robot....um..." Spike closed his eyes, spun the dial and hit it.
"OK," Upchuck said "Let's see what this guy can do" He ran as fast as he could after the mane 6, Applejack and Pinkie were helping to evacuate the town while Fluttershy and Rarity were attempting to help the Cakes out of the partially collapsed Sugar cube corner. Rainbow and Twilight were attempting to take down the robot. Upchuck finally made it just as Rainbow got slapped out of the air and landed on him
"Ow, hey watch it you...." Rainbow saw the symbol on his hand "Wait.I thought you turned into a ghost...what even are you?"
"I don't know...but I'm hungry."
"Then Figure out if you can fight, or flee, I don't care which, but figure it out fast!" she said as she flew back into the air. Upchuck looked around and saw the collapsing building. His body reacted on its own and his many tongues shot out and he began eating the wreckage, almost as fast as he started he finished.
"What in the name of Celestia," Rarity asked
"Ohh...I don't feel so good" Upchuck turned towards the robot trying to think of something cool to say, but as soon as he opened his mouth he shoots out an atomic loogie at the robot blasting off one of its arms. There was silence for a second before he threw up his arm and yelled "I HAVE UPCHUCK POWERS" the Robot held up its other arm and shot a laser at him, he opened his mouth and swallowed it, the spat it back out, destroying the other arm, "Hey Rainbow" He yelled "How about a lift to the head"
"Sure thing Captain Vomit," She said as she picked him up and with a mighty spin, he landed on top of the head and with a mighty gulp he ate it, jumped up and destroyed the upper body, leaving only the legs witch fell to the ground. Rainbow Managed to Catch Upchuck before he hit the ground
"My names not Captain Vomit its...its Upchuck!"
"That doesn't sound much better"
"I think it does," he said before the Symbol started beeping red and in a Bright red Flash, Rainbow was suddenly holding a considerately heavier Spike. The Two tumbled to the ground
"OK," Twilight said looked down at Spike "Now you can Explain"
After Rainbow Dash Got off him Spike looked up at Twilight.
"I got a space watch" he explained lamely. Before Twilight or Rainbow could comment back, a huge crashing sound came from behind them, The trio turned to Sugar cube corner, Rarity, the Cake twins and Mrs.Cake had gotten out, but Mr.Cake and Fluttershy had been trapped inside the now rapidly collapsing building.
"Explain later!" Twilight yelled as she ran to help Rarity support the building with her magic, Rainbow looked back at Spike.
"Don't suppose you got a strong guy?"
"Still red" *Beep* "Never mind" Spike popped the dial and yelled "Blind luck" before slamming down on the dial. Fourarm's looked down at Rainbow, who had jumped back in shock
"Holly Celestia your huge"
"No time, I'll lift the rubble, you pull them out!" he replied back as the two ran past the other, judging by the sound she made, Mrs.Cake hadn't seen Spike's transformation
"What is that thing!" She yelped. ignoring her, Fourarm's grabbed the collapsed doorframe and slowly lifted it,
"Go!" he yelled, and in a flash, Rainbow had flown in and back out with Fluttershy. She turned back for Mr.Cake, but the top half of the building crumbled forward, and she and the other's scattered out of the way, as the entire building was lost.
Mr.Cake had covered his head, but after a few seconds came to the realization that he wasn't dead
"How am I...." his question was answered before he even finished asking it. Fourarm's was supporting the weight of the collapsed building with his upper arm's while using his body and lower arm's to protect Mr.cake
"Sorry about you shop....um...sir." He said awkwardly as he picked him up.
"Do....don't worry about it?" Mr.Cake replied
"Might want to cover your head again," Mr.Cake did so, and with a Might punch and an immediate jump, the two where safely out of the wreckage. Mrs.Cake came running forward as Fourarms put Mr.Cake down and tackled hugged her husband.
"You're alive!" She said "Oh thank Celestia" She then turned to Fourarms "And thank you, so much without you...my Husband...and Poor Fluttershy would have..."
"Don't mention it, ma'am, it's...just what I do?" Fourarm's said when the Icon on his shoulder started beeping "oh, um, got to go!" he said and with a mighty leap, he jumped away, landing behind a row of housed and out of sight. Mrs.Cake turned to Twilight
"Who was that?" Rainbow answered before Twilight could
"I'm gonna go on a limb and say he's called Fourarms."
"Was that a joke?" Twilight asked
"Maybe." Rainbow replied as she took flight after Fourarms, she found Spike laying on his back in a small crater. "didn't make it to the ground did you?"
"I did not" Spike confirmed as Rainbow helped him out of the hole.
"Listen, Spike...not gonna lie...that was bucking epic."
"What the crater I made with my back?"
"No, the whole, saving Mr.Cake's life thing!" Rainbow picked Spike up "Do you know what this means?"
"I'm quote-unquote "bucking epic"?" He asked
"It means you are so never getting left behind again!" Rainbow said "With these powers, you can not only join us on our adventures....you can have your own adventures! You could write a freaking book...with me in it of course." Rainbow patted Spike on the back, and the two walked back to the castle. Talking about how awesome they and his adventures were gonna be.
It had been a week since Spike had gotten the Watch, and so far so good. He'd saved Applebloom and Big Mac, Scared his friends. and Saved Mr.Cake and Fluttershy. Not much had happened since, The three new heroes of Ponyville had already been honored in different way's. Heatblast had had a special Drink named after him by the apples. Upchuck had been mentioned by the mayor and had been given a medal, Rainbow dash had accepted in his place, saying Upchuck and her where old buddy's. and once it was Rebuilt, Fourarm's was getting a statue in Sugar Cube corner. Spike looked at the construction sight, when an Idea hit him, he pressed the button, selected Ditto, and slammed it down.
Ditto made a clone, and they quickly tossed a coin.
"OK" The original said "I'll go help with Construction...you stay here and do our chorus!" the clone, cloned himself several timed
"Aye aye!" they said and all ran about to pick a job, Ditto ran out the front door and ran down to the construction sight. He ran to the nearest Pony helping ,Big Mac.
"Hey buddy, don't suppose I could give you hand?" Big Mac turned and dropped what he was carrying in shock, he looked at Ditto for a second, then turned and yelled
"Alien hero here to help" with in a minute Ditto was surrounded by a crowd asking a million questions at once, but they where silenced and made a path as Mr.Cake came down.
"Your friends with Fourarms"
"How can you tell?" Ditto asked retoricly
"The thing on your forehead" Mr.Cake replied, Big Mac nodded "All the other have it on them, some kind of Badge for your hero's club or something right?"
"um...yeah, sure, let's go with that" Ditto replied as Big Mac picked up a bag of insulation.
"OK, well Big Mac here is helping with insulation and the roof, I'm helping with the walls, witch on you gonna help with.
"Both" Ditto said matter of factly
"Both?" The two asked in equal confusion. Ditto split into two and they both confirmed
"Both!" The two separated. One went with Big Mac, the other with Mr.Cake. after about an hour, Ditto was the only one still working, mainly because every couple of minutes, the Icon on his head would start beeping like mad, then stop. Big mac and Mr.Cake where watching them with a few others, all eating popcorn as they watched. Some of the Ditto's where attempting to use the pulley system to get a large chunk of wood in place, they got it half way up before one of the rope's broke and crushed several of the Ditto's causing them to burst into Green light. A large mob of Ditto's proceeded to gang up on the wood, beating it with hammers several of them accidentally hitting other Ditto. Soon the mob split into two group's, some still attacking the wood beam, the rest attacking each other. Soon they reformed back into a single mob and carried to wood beam off, dropping it in the river and cheering as it floated away.
"HEY NIMRODS!" One of the Ditto's on the roof yelled "We need that to fix the wall" after a short pause they all started blaming each other. "I DON'T CARE WHO STARTED IT...JUST GO GET IT BACK!" He yelled, this ended with several ponies coming over to help the Ditto's get it out of the water. Another Ditto on the roof turned to the first one
"If there all nimrods....doesn't that mean we are to?" there was a pause, then the ditto's on the roof started all arguing with each other. Mr.Cake sighed
"Were still at the same progress as when we started....but dam if these guy's are funny" he giggled and picked up his megaphone "excuse me Ditto's?" They all froze where they where and looked at him "Thank you for your help, but.....I paid these good ponies in advance and I'd like to get my money's worth out of them, so thank you so much for your help, but you've done more than enough. There was another moment of Silence, they a cheer erupted form the Ditto's all yelling about how awesome they where as they made their way back to the Castle
"That guy was a blast" Big Mac said as he Picked up the Bag of Insulation again and made his way up to remove the many pointless nails that had been hammered into random spots.
Ditto walked back into the castle and Found Twilight pleading with the other group of DItto's
"......so just tell me how to turn you back already!" The Ditto she was talking to noticed the other group's return.
"Say Please"
"PLEASE TURN BACK!!" There was beeping, and the Ditto's all flew into each other and in a red flash Spike patted Twilight on the head
"Please always works" he said happily as he went back up stairs.
"Thank fucking Celestia....I can hear myself think again."
Author's Note
Omniverse rules. Ditto's don't share pain, and explode into Green light when destroyed.
Spike walked into Sugar Cube corner, he had come for one reason and one reason only, To look at "his" Statue, He walked over to the renovated Dining area and looked at it in all its glory. Fourarms was holding up a Pillar that connected to the roof, while the entire thing was just for show, it looked like he was holding up the roof, in one of his lower arms was a Ditto, Spike smiled and walked back out to look at the building properly, there where a total of 3 Ditto Statues beside the one in Fourarms arm, One was sitting outside the door, holding up the Daily Special sign, one was on the roof eating a cupcake while hammering into the roof, and the last one was just inside, next to the counter, holding the tip jar.
"I'm loving this" Spike said as he turned and made his way the Apple's Cyder booth to get a taste of The Heatblast Special. he had just spotted the cart when a huge explosion went of behind him, Spike fell on his face and turned to see a Huge Robot step out of the Huge Crater it had just made, It looked at its arm, looked around, then looked back at its arm, it pressed several buttons and from it's shoulder popped out two smaller flying robots. the loud robot made a sequence of Robot noises and the Two Smaller ones responded and flew off, without hesitation the big one turned and started stomping its way towards the Castel. Spike got up and, along with the rest of the ponies, ran in the opposite direction, Spike slid into an alleyway and flicked through the watched. "Gota gets the little guys first," He said as he Spun the dial and slammed it down, with a loud growl Wildmutt jumped out of the ally and sniffed, he ran through the crowd causing them to stop running and gawk at him in amazement. Wildmutt jumped over a cart, then jumped again when he sensed the laser that had been blasted at him, One of the two Smaller ones had locked onto him and was blasting at him in rapid-fire mode. Wildmutt jumped and started climbing a building, dodging the blast, the Robot raised an antenna to alert the other two, when a Rock collided with it, breaking the antenna. The Robot spun around and was struck with another rock, Scootaloo picked up another one and threw it.
"Who do you think you are? Attacking our town!" She yelled out as she picked up another rock, she threw it and the Robot blasted it into rubble, Scootaloo backup as it charged, when Wildmutt landed on it, causing the robot to miss it's shot and shoot into the sky, Wildmutt opened his mouth and with a mity chomp, he bit the Robot's head off, The Robot spun out of control and Wildmutt jumped off, the Robot flew off and collided with the ground, exploding on impact, Wildmutt turned to Scootaloo and spat out the Robot head, he made a series of growls and grunts, Scootaloo looked at him bluntly. "I don't speak alien Police dog." She said in confusion as Wildmutt grumbled, He turned and was met face to face with the second robot, before he could react he was blasted in the face and was sent flying into a wall, destroying it and landing inside the building, Scottaloo turned to the Robot, but before she could assault it She was plucked into the air by miffed looking Rainbow Dash.
"Kid, you are in so much trouble when this is over!" She called as the Robot turned to the building, Inside Spike rubbed his head, looking at the watch.
"You've got a lousy sense of timing for a watch." He muttered as the Robot flew in through the hole. "Oh hey...buddy...the, um, dog went that way?" The Robot charged it's laser "Worth a shot" Spike yelled as he jumped out of the way, the Robot chased after him, Spike jumped over a couch and ran out the front door, slamming it behind him, he ran as fast as he could in the opposite direction when the Watch flashed Green. " give me somebody good please!?" Spike yelled as he pressed the button and slammed without looking, in a flash Diamond Head came to a halt and looked at his hands.
"Wait...I haven't tried this guy out yet." He said as he turned on the spot and was hit with a flaming door, the Door splinted on contact and fell to the ground, leaving Diamond head without a scratch, He looked back at his hand for a second. "Rarity's gonna have a Heart Attack when she sees me." He said as he looked up at the Robot, it fired its laser, which ricocheted off Diamond head and back at the robot, destroying it. Diamond head shook his head. "That's...that's just sad," he said as he turned and ran to go after the Big Robot, Diamond Head turned just in time to see Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo land.
"Kid I swear if you...holy walking Chandelier!" Rainbow Dash took a back step when she saw Diamond Head "That's a new one!" Scootaloo looked at him and looked behind him.
"Is the Orange Dog guy ok?"
"Wildmutt's fine, I just tagged out with him." Diamond head said as he looked down at her "He told me you threw rocks at one of the small guys."
"Man, I don't need another lecture." Scootaloo moaned, Diamond head smiled as he got on his knee and lightly patted her head
"He also told me he got the jump on it because of that, and he told me to tell you thanks for him since you don't speak Space Police dog." He said with a smile. Scootaloo looked up at him in awe as he got up and ran past them, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a giant robot to destroy." He called back at them as he turned a corner. Scootaloo watched him run off and turned to Rainbow with a smug look.
"See, The oran...Wildmutt I mean, Appreciated my help." Rainbow sighed
"Just stay here, or I'm telling your Aunts," she said as she flew into the air and followed Diamond Head. once she was overhead she looked down. "So...name please?" she asked.
"I'm going with Diamond Head." He said as he took a corner and was met with the sight of Twilight trying to destroy the Robot, with little no effect.
"WHAT IS THIS THING MADE OF!?" She screeched angrily as her magic spell hit it with no effect. Diamond head, still running, held up his hand and shot shards at the robot, piercing its body. the Robot turned and looked at him, Dimond Head slid to a stop as Rainbow joined Twilight.
"Say hello to Dimond head, our new friend." She said as the two watched the battle, The Robot raised it's hand and shot a laser, Diamond head stood his ground, thinking it would ricochet off him, instead it blasted him into the ground.
"Ow," He groaned as he pulled himself out of the ground. "I thought that would go differently." He Turned his hand into a Sword and charged, only to get stepped on and picked up, Diamond head looked up at the Robot for a moment, then with a loud explosion it's hand was stabbed through with a lot of Diamonds. Diamond head hit the ground and The Robot raised it's other hand and shot a laser at him again, this time it reflected of his sword and hit the ground, Diamond head looked at this and thinking quickly he turned his other hand into a sword and reflected the laser into the Robot's face, destroying it. Diamond head watched as it fell down and hit the ground. Twilight and Rainbow ran over to him just as he timed out.
"What's with all the robots?" Spike asked as he looked at its remains.
Meanwhile
"Lord Villgax, another drone has been destroyed, shall we send another to fetch the Omnitrix?" The Robot minion asked Villgax looked down over the planet.
"This wretched planet...no, we don't need this plants rulers on defense," He said as he turned to the robot, "It's time for a different approach."
Heatblast vs Rainbow Dash
Spike was eating lunch, or at least he was trying to, Rainbow was fiddling with his watch.
"Who's this guy?"
"Stinkfly."
"And this one?"
"Articguana?"
"How about this guy?"
"XLR8."
"where do you come up with these names?"
"They reflect my alien, Stinkfly is a giant foul smelling Fly. Articgunna is an Ice guy. XLR8 Is super fast." Spike said bluntly not looking at Rainbow as he took a bit out of his sandwich when in a flash he was XLR8.
"Hey!" He yelled, falling out of his chair and sending his Lunch flying "No! My lunch!" he turned to Rainbow "What was that for?" Rainbow was inspecting him.
"You don't look that fast, I bet I could outfly you in an instant"
"Of course you could." XLR8 Said as he blurred for a second then took a bite out of his new sandwich "I can't fly." Rainbow jaw dropped as XlR8 blurred for a second and struck a pose "I just finished all my chores for the day, cleaned up the sandwich mess, and braided your mane." Rainbow's hand shot up to her mane, with was indeed braided.
"HEY!! Undo that right now!!" she felt a soft breeze and her mane fell back into place. She started shaking and mumbling angrily as XLR8 relaxed in his chair.
"Thanks, now I have the rest of the day off, Twilight banned me from using the watch in the castle, but since you did it I call a loophole." XLR8 yawned and leaned back when Rainbow stuck her finger in his face.
"I challenge you to a race!" XLR8 Blurred out and was suddenly holding a slice of cake
"Before you ask, yes, I paid for it." XLR8 looked at her and smiled "I'd accept, but I don't want to outshine you." He said as the symbol started beeping and he flashed back to Spike.
"But If you want you can Give Heatbast a run for his money...Altho I suggest you ask Twilight to Give you a heat shield."
"Why?"
"I'm not exactly good at flight mode yet, and there's no way Stinkfly would have a chance against you," Spike said as he got up and Stretched. Rainbow leaned down and put her arm around his neck.
"Fine, I guess you can take the title of the fasted runner, But I'm definitely the fastest flyer!" she said as she gave him a noogie. "Meet me in front of the Castel tomorrow at 5 pm, well race to the top of that mountain where that Red Dragon slept that one time.
"Sounds like a plan," Spike said with a smile as he left to enjoy the rest of his day "See you then." he said with a wave, only to be stopped when he walked into Starlight, "oops, sorry Starlight," Spike said as he walked around her, Starlight watched him go and looked at Rainbow with a raised eyebrow
"You challenged him to a race?"
"Yeah, me vs Heatblast, I'm gonna win, but still, it should be fun for the first 8 seconds."
"Ok...so what are you gonna do if...time out midflight?"
"I just...wait..." Rainbow seemed lost in thought, after a moment she turned to Starlight "I hadn't thought of that, how long does he stay transformed?"
"I'd say 10 - 15 minutes if he doesn't use it too often, I'm sure you noticed that he was only XLR8 for like 2 minutes, he's been running around as Wildmutt for most of the day helping out Fluttershy, and then as Ditto for a long time to go do three things at once, I'd say he was Ditto for about an hour" Rainbow rubbed the back of her head
"Got so caught up in the moment, Guess I forgot he's just a Kid playing with his new toy."
"Gonna be a lot worse next month when Twilights School is finished being built" Rainbow smacked her head
"There'll be Dragon students, and so many other species, He's gonna make at least one friend, and when he does"
"Oh how Tartarus will break loss" Starlight waved her hand "Just told Twilight the same thing, gonna go tell the rest of the girls before they challenge him to a race or something"
"And don't worry, I'll stand by to rescue him if things go wrong, and I'll extinguish any unintentional flames." Starlight said with a wave as she left the room, Rainbow nodded
"Alright, I won't challenge him to any more races, after I win the next one." Rainbow turned to get ready for the race as Spike walked outside
"Time to Practice" he turned the Dial and in a flash Heatblast stretched "Time to fly." he placed his hands to his side and blasted off, once in the air he managed to fly in a wobbly line "Alright, now I..uh...how do I land?" He ponded "Maybe I should just" he tried reducing the flamed but ended up plummeting "AH NO!" he shot flames out of his hands again, but just ended up slamming in front of the castle in a flaming crater, Spike pulled himself out of it
"Alright, I need some serious practice," he muttered as he patted out a flame
"Nice heat-shield" Heatblast said as he got into position "Ok so first one to the top and back?"
"Oh yeah," Rainbow said as she started hovering in the air, there was a loud crunching sound and everypony turned to look at Heatblast, who was now hovering on a flaming chunk of rock
"I've been practicing," He said with a smile and Rainbow smiled back
"So Have I" the two turned and Applejack walked behind to two with a flag
"Ready?" the two nodded
"Then go!" the two blasted off, Heatblast doing so quite literally. Rainbow pull ahead as she flew through the clouds, but Heatblast started catching up when he added the boost of spewing fire from his hands, this added to his speed but he started wobbling.
"Maybe. I should have. Thought this threw!" he said as he unintentionally did a loop that almost knocked him off his rock. Rainbow started gaining speed when something Spike had said hit her
"Wait," she turned in the air "When did you practice!"
"Yesterday and most of the morning" Heatblast called back. Rainbow remembered Starlights words
" he was only XLR8 for like 2 minutes" Rainbow turned on the spot
"Spike... I mean Heatblast wait!" Heatblast looked at her just as his Icon went red "oh man, not now" he complained as in a flash Spike was thrown off the flaming rock which crashed into a nearby lake, Spike plummeted only to be enveloped in Magic. Starlight lowered him to the empty streets below, then looked up at Rainbow
"You two can have your race another day" she looked down at Spike "And we're gonna have a chat"
"Man"

coop-out
Spike yawned as he leaned back in the chair, Twilight was examining the watch.
"I just don't like it, most of your transformations are ok, some are heroic, some are annoying, but this guy...he's just...just..."
"I said I was sorry for scaring you guys," Spike said as Twilight continued staring at the Ghostfreak Icon. She squinted at it
"He freaks me out."
"That means he's effective." Spike replied as he moved his hand "Besides, I've only used him those two times to scare you and apologize...hm...I should use him again, just to even things out." He said as he pressed the button on the side and deactivated the selection. Twilight looked at him,
"So what did Starlight wanna talk to you about?"
"She told me not to use the watch so much, said extensive use lessens the time of the Transformations or something;"
"I think It's a good Idea, you use it way too much." their conversation was put to a stop when the sound of screaming was heard. The two ran outside and saw a large Cragodile terrorizing the town.
"Dammit, I have to much work to do today to deal with..." She stopped when Spike waved her off.
"I got it." He said and in a flash he was Arctiguana.
"I'll cool this guy off in no time," He said as he ran down the hill towards the town. The Cragodile had a chunk of a building in its mouth when Arctiguna yelled "YO!" The Creature turned and was blasted in the face with an Ice Blast, freezing its face. after a moment The Entire Creature was Frozen, Arctiguana looked up at it. "well that was anti-climatic." He turned to leave when the Cragodile jaw snapped open, breaking the ice and dropping chunks of it everywhere. "Spoke to soon." He said as he turned to face the angry creature as it broke free and made its way towards him, SLowly Arctiguana walked backward, blasting it every now and again to slow it down, and keep it angry at him so it would still follow. Arctiguana then turned and yelled out
"I Was Wrong, I can't cool him off Tag-in, Tag-in!!" Twilight sighed and lit her horn, the Cragodile was engulfed in her magic and was teleported back to where She had last seen one in the Everfree forest. Artiguana walked over to her and nodded "Kewl, Kewl" he said when Rainbow Dash made her appearance,
"Darnit I missed another one" she turned to Spike "Come on dude leave some for the rest of us!"
"Not my fault you were late," Arctiguana said with a shrug. "Things needed doing, and we were to only ones doing em," He said pointing to himself and Twilight. Rainbow made an irritated noise and shook her head
"Fine whatever, I was gonna come here later, but since I'm here now," Rainbow tossed Twilight a letter
"Princess Celestia tried to send that threw Spike mail, but He was Ditto so she couldn't get it threw, so she sent it through the normal mail
"Spi..." Arctiguana covered Twilights mouth as some of the ponies of Ponyville made their way towards them
"Arctiguana" he whispered angrily "Secret Identity yo!" Arctiguana made his way towards the crowd while Twilight opened her letter and read through it
"Wha's it says?" Rainbow asked when Twilight read the letter
"Princess Celestia is coming over for tea" Twilight stood in silence, then turned To Rainbow "Distract Spike at all cost, if the princess found out about this it could...could.."
"Could what?"
"I don't know, and I don't wanna find out. If he turns into that Freaky ghost thing she..."
"Ghostfreak." Rainbow corrected, there was silence for a moment
"why do you know that?" Rainbow shrugged
"We've ended up hanging out a lot since he got that watch." she said "I'm sure I can think of a good way to distract him" Rainbow turned and looked as Arctiguana tried to sign something,
"I don't think my fingers bend right to hold it," he said as a pony offered him a pen, Rainbow shook her head as the two watched Arctiguana try to hold the pen only for it to fall to the ground, Arctiguana scratched his head and started talking to the guy as Rainbow turned back to Twilight
"I'll think of something to distract him" Rainbow walked over and stopped in her tracks as she held in a laugh, Arctiguana had broken an Ink bottle on the ground and was signing the papers with his handprint
"Innovation, Don't cha know?" he said when he saw the look on Rainbows face, she walked over to him and placed her hand around his neck
"Come one Arctiguana, you have the stuff to do" It took a minute but Rainbow finally managed to get the fans to leave
"Keep going on like this, and your gonna have 10 fan clubs fighting over witch you they like more," she said as the two made their way to the Castel.
"Ya know, I Think it be fun to see who'd win in a fan fight," Arctiguana said when the Icon beeped, Rainbow and Spike made their way up the stairs
"Or at least, I'd be fun to watch," he said as they walked inside
"Rainbow Dash you idiot, why are you taking him into the Castel."
"Taking who into the Castel?" Twilight almost had a heart Attack when she heard Celestia's voice
"PRINCESS!!! So sorry, Spike and Rainbow Dash have just become good friends and I was just trying to get her to get him out and about, you know how lazy he can be." Celestia looked down at her and nodded
"Indeed, He has gotten a little chubby, befriending an Atletic friend like Rainbow Dash might help him get back into shape, some friendly competition, like a race.." Celestia raised an eyebrow as Twilight flinched at the word race "Something wrong my dear student?"
"No Princess, why don't you come in? We can talk more Once I make the tea." And on that note, the two Princesses made their way into the Castel.
Twilight quickly check that the room was empty before opening the door and letting Celestia in the room,
"Just...making sure nopony else was in here, Starlight lived here too," She said as she let Celestia past "Why don't you get comfy? I'll go get the Tea." Twilight turned out of the room, and as soon as she was out of Celestia's sight ran as fast as she could to the kitchen "Oh, I hope their upstair's playing video games, or watching a movie, or..."Twilight fell into silence when she opened the kitchen door and found Heatblast sitting on the floor as Rainbow used his head to heat roast marshmallows, in his hand's he held a tea kettle.
"Hey, Twilight" Heatblast greeted "Heard Celestia was here, just heating up the tea for you" Twilight glared at him in silence, then sighed as her facial expression softened.
"Thank you, Heatblast." She said as she walked over to Rainbow, her look turned from soft to less than happy. "I Told you to distract him"
"I Am distracting him" Rainbow retorted
"so you brought him in here, what if I'd brought Celestia in here with me?" Rainbow shrugged before they could argue more the Kettle whistled
"Tea's done!" Heatblast called, after thanking him, Twilight levitated the kettle and walked out of the room with a wave "Distract me?" Spike asked as he timed out
"Yeah, she thinks Celestia will explode or something if she found you were a superhero."
"If she found out I'm 10 Superhero's you mean?!" Spike corrected, Rainbow scoffed
"oh yeah, 10 hero's, that you can turn into for a short time." Rainbow smiled "You're still a noob kid, give it some time and you can boast about the 10 heroes, but for now you're shackled to the limit's set by the watch." Before Spike could respond there was an explosion outside
"Dibs!" Spike yelled
"Di..ah dang it" Rainbow sighed and motioned to the window, in a Flash Stinkfly was flying to action. The Action turned out to be less than exciting, Stinkfly looked down at a flaming cart as the CMC watched it burn
"Shoot" he heard Scootaloo complain "I guess transporting firework's is a dangerous job." as the trio looked at it Applebloom brought up the question
"How do we extinguish it?" before the other two could answer the fire was covered in green goo. after a second Stinkfly landed next to the goo and tapped it with one of his legs
"Die fire, die!" he said with no seriousness in his voice, before turning to the CMC "You should be more careful" he advised, the CMC squealed
"Oh! WHO'S THAT GUY!" Scootaloo demanded, "HE'S GOT THE SYMBOL SO HE MUST BE PART OF THE GROUP!"
"Is Heatblast your leader?" Applebloom asked
"Is Arctiguana as Cool as people say he is?" Sweetie asked
"What would happen if I did this?" Scootaloo asked, holding up her hand. the three others stared at her in silence for a moment.
"Wait...what are you doing?" Stinkfly asked in confusion, walking closer and looking at her hand "Is there something written on it or.." Scootaloo's hand sprang forward as she hit the Symbol.
"YES! Touched it!" before anything more could be said, a voice rang out as the Symbole turned yellow.
"Warning, Randomizer function activated!" Stinkfly looked at it
"Wait, what?" He asked as Green Electricity began sparking from it
"Da!" Scootaloo screamed as the other two facepalmed "I just wanted to touch it! I didn't break you interstellar police badge did I?" Before Stinkfly could answer the symbol glew and electrocuted him. The three watched as in a Flash Stinkfly was replaced by a Confused Ditto
"WAIT, WHAT?" Ditto yelled in confusion, "WHY AM I HERE!?" as Ditto looked around he was zapped and replaced with Heatblast
"Oh, This isn't good." He said as the three stared at him in amazement
"It's a Teleported," they said in amazement before Scootaloo got a wack on the back of her head by her friends
"AND YOU PUNCHED IT!" Applebloom yelled at her before turning to Heatblast "Mr.Heatblast I'm so sorry!" She added before Heatblast could respond he was zapped and Replaced by Fourarms
"That's very uncomfortable" He complained, "Listen I gotta go!" He said as he turned and jumped in the air, at the apex of his jump he was zapped and turned into Diamond Head
"Whoa!" He Yelled as he plummeted, as the CMC Watched DIamond head disappear they gasped
"Who was that guy?" Sweetie asked, "He was all shiny!" Scootaloo patted her on the back of the head
"Let me tell you about the cool guy that is Diamond Head"
Diamond Head brushed himself off and began running to the castle, zapping into Wildmutt just as he left the town, Wildmutt ran to the door, zapping into Upchuck as he got to the door,
"Dangit!" Upchuck complained, "I'm, To, Short!" Upchuck jumped for it before turning into Arctiguana,
"I Don't have time for this!" He turned and jumped through a Window, he got up and ran to where Twilight was having Tea, with another Zap XLR8 Zoomed past the door and slammed into a Wall
"Ow!" he said as he fell to the floor, he turned to the door and Zapped into Ghostfreak
"She'll forgive me," he said as he phased through the Wall, making Twilight drop her cup, Celestia didn't react in any way as she took a sip.
"Ghostfreak!" She screeched "What did I..." before she finished Ghostfreak zapped into DItto
"I think..." Ditto began
"...I might..." Dimond Head continued
"...have broken the..." XLR8 added
"Growl" Wildmutt finished. Twilight watched as he zapped into a different form in confused silence
"What?" She asked as Celestia calmly got up and without a word slightly turned the Symbol and calmly said
"Deactivate Randomizer"
"Voice command accepted" The watched said as in turned red and Spike sat on the floor in confusion
"What just happened?" The Duo demanded looking up at Celestia
"It would seem you activated the Randomizer function," Celestia said calmly, she looked at them then chuckled "Oh, you're asking why I'm not freaking out about the Omnitrix being on your wrist"
"The what?" Spike asked Twilight.exe seemed to have stopped working, Celestia looked over at Twilight and poked her
"Twilight?" She asked, Twilight blinked then looked up at Celestia, who smiled back "You good?" she asked, Twilight nodded and Celestia cleared her throat
"The reason I'm not surprised is that it's the reason I'm here" Celestia turned to Spike "How was the Randomizer activated?"
"I was putting out a fire, and some kid's where geeking out over me, and one of them hit the symbol so they could say they touched it." Celestia nodded
"And it's not because you slammed down on the dial?"
"Wait, That'll happen if I slam on the dial?" Spike demanded, earning a chuckle from Celestia.
"That proves that then," Celestia took her seat again and took a sip, while the two continued staring at her.
"But how do you know what it is?" Twilight asked
"Oh, I'll tell you that...when the time is right," She said with a Smile as Spike ran past her, already losing interest in the conversation.
"I'm so telling Rainbow about this," he said as he turned the corner and disappeared, Twilight shook her head
"Why me?" she asked as she slammed her head on the table. Celestia smiled
"I think I'm going to enjoy this summer," she said before taking another sip of her tea.
"What?" Rarity demanded as her Sister repeated herself
"Oh Hey Rarity what...?"
"Is it true one of your hero's are made of Crystals?"
"Oh, You mean Diamond Head?" Spike asked as he hit the button, spun through his playlist and turned into him
"Pretty cool right?" he asked striking a pose, he looked down and found Rarity with sparkling eyes "jackpot!" he realized as she looked at him like he looked at her "I don't suppose you need some assistance?"
"I DO, oh, but Sweetie's home, and if you timed out..." Diamond head held up his hand
"Let me show you something Celestia showed me before leaving, He turned him symbol counterclockwise with three twists and said slow and clear "Life, Form, Lock" the Symbol twisted around and rang back
"Voice command accepted, commencing Petrosapien Life form lock" The Symbole turned sideway's and with a green glow a cap covered the symbol, making look like nothing more than a part of his outfit
"And now I won't time out, but the longer I'm like this, the longer the recharge, so let's make it as quick as we can." Diamond head said as Rarity escorted him home, as Diamond head looked around, quite a few ponies gathered around him
"Hey!" he heard Mr.Cake call "He turned and waited as Mr.Cake walked over to him "You one of those Heros?"
"Yes sir I am"
"Hmm. I don't see one of those symbols on you" Diamond head pointed to the cap
"I'm off duty" He said, "Don't wanna be, Teleported off to some random space battle on my Day off" Dimond head stood in silence, hoping that sounded convincing, Mr.Cake nodded and he looked at the Cap, Diamond head briefly pulled it down, showing the now Yellow symbol, causing Mr.Cake to light up
"Ah! I see, in that case, Mr.Cake held up a finger and ran off, after a minute of waiting and taking a few pictured Mr.Cake handed him a Box
"Could you give this to that Four Armed Fellow?" He asked "My Wife got it made for him" with that Mr.Cake left with a wave as Diamond Head carried to Box, Rairy was waiting at her door, with an impatient look in her eyes
"Hey, What was I suppose to do?" he asked, Rarity sighed
"True, you were very polite, now let's get this over with, My Sister is going to bombard you with questions about Arcticguano."
"Arctiguana" Dimond head corrected ad Rarity opened the door
"Sweetie we have a very important guess you might want to meet," Sweetie walked in with a bored look
"I don't care about your client Ra..ra...oh my sweet Princess" She gasped as Diamond head walked in,
"Afternoon." He said Politely. Sweetie's scream of joy could be heard across the town
-Later-
"So what's his favorite food?" Sweetie asked
"Pizza" Diamond head responded as Rarity began attacking his back with a Pickaxe.
"Who's Arctiguana's Best Friend?"
"Wildmutt" DIamond head reasoned as Rarity's Pixaxe broke
"Who's your best friend?"
"Four Arms" He Replied,
"Cool," She said in awe, Rarity meanwhile was trying to use magic to get a chunk of Diamond head's back, who sighed
"Hold on a second," he said as he turned to Rarity "Here" he held his hand palm down and began making a massive pile of Gem's in a multitude of shapes and sizes, after a good pile was made he turned back as Rarity took them all and ran off squealing in joy.
"It was super nice of you to agree to do this for my sister," Sweetie said before falling into an awkward silence, after a moment she took a deep breath and ask "Are you and your friends still made about Scootaloo hitting your Teleporter thing?"
"Naw gave me a head ace, but otherwise it was all good." He replied.
After about 2 hours of doing nothing but Talk to Sweetie and making thing's up while making Gem's for Rarity on command, Diamond head got up.
"Well it's time for me to go" He Declared "I have other thing's to do today" as he got up Sweetie opened the door for him and handed him a letter
"Could you give this to Arctiguana for me?" she asked,
"Certainly" he said as he took it and put it in the bag Rarity had given him to hold the present, as he walked out, he made sure no one saw him as he hide in an alley and removed the cap "Decavitave, Life, Form, Lock" he said slowly and clearly, with a beep the cap disappeared and Spike was back, walking back to the castle with his bag, once he was back to his room, he opened the letter first, it was a Hand-drawn Picture of Arctiguana with Sweetie on his back, The Word Adventure was written over them in large letters, with a note on the Back
"For the Coolest Hero, ever" Spike smiled
"Well, at least I know who's side of the fan war she'll be on" Spike chuckled as he got a tack and hung the picture up on his wall, he proceeded to open the box, and stare at it's context in awe, inside was a pair of small, but very detailed figure of Four Arms, One with Three Tiny Ditto's hanging off him, Spike held it up and read the small note
"Sugar Cube Corner's Newest Series of Cake toppers" Spike smiled as he looked at the two figures
"Guess the Cake's have a fav and a second fav" Spike said with a smile as he placed the figures on his bedside table, Spike smiled as he looked down at his still Red watch. "This Summer is so the Best Summer ever."

I'm still 50/50 on rather or not Stinkfly should be original, or Reboot
10thChapter
The Beginning of something Aweful
Heatblast looked up at the problem, an oddly colored house was burning down, he didn't know how or why all he knew was that somepony might need his help. He opened the door and looked around, the entire place was blazing, he held up his hand and began sucking up the flames, once the room was secure he moved to let the firefighters move in,
"Thank you so much," one of them said as they walked in "Can you lead the way upstairs?"
"On it" he replied as he ran to the stairs and up them, the hallway was burning and with another raise of his hand he put out the flames. Following him two firefighters moved to each door, the unicorn light his horn,
"Two are inside this room!" he moved to cover and opened the door, flames shot out again, Heatblast walked through them and looked inside the room, there was a small area that wasn't burning, Viynle scratch was standing fire next to the unconscious Octavia, she had a small shield around her and her friend, heatblast lifted his hands and the room was extinguished, the firefighters ran in and helped to two, Heatblast stood back and began working on the next room, as the two where removed. Once he was sure no fire was left lit, he followed them out, he stepped out to cheers, a small group had surrounded the place while he had been inside. As the crowd cheered him he waved
"uh...don't forget your friendly neighborhood firefighters, without them it would have been hard to save those two." With a wave, he shot off into the sky, wobbly landing next to the castle, with a flash Spike walked in to finish his dinner, meanwhile back at the scene of the fire
"That was so cool," Applebloom said, "Heatblast is the coolest!"
"I think you mean Arctiguana's the Coolest" Sweetie cut in "Altho Diamond head is admittedly very nice"
"I haven't seen him yet" Scootaloo added, "But I heard Rainbow dash talking about one of them being the fastest runner!" Scootaloo nodded "and that guy has got to be to coolest dude ever!"
"Girls Don't fight," Big Mac said, as the three turned to him he added "Because Applebloom's right, Heatblast is the best"
"Pardon me" Mrs.Cake cut in, "I think you meant to say Fourarms."
"What about that dog thing?" Cheerlie asked "I didn't catch his name, but he destroyed some of those robots,"
"his name was Wildmutt" Scootaloo cut in "and he is pretty cool, tho Diamond Head was the one who destroyed the big one, Wildmutt had the common sense to know he was beaten and called in the big guns, tho I think the fast guy is gonna be the coolest"
"But Arctiguana is Literally Ice Cold!" Sweetie argued. As this went on more and more ponies began arguing, some splitting into groups. Some standing alone
"Come on! Nopony else thinks Ditto is awesome!?" Nurse Redheart asked, "He was hilarious!" as she tried to pull people into the Fanclub of Ditto, the Spa twins nodded in agreement
"I have to agree," Aloe said "he does sound amazing, I can't wait to see him"
"Rainbow said he was super fast!" Scootaloo said "Like, impossible! And he wasn't even trying!" as this went on Raibowdash watched from above
"Oh, my Celestia" She laughed "It's happened!"
-Next Day-
Spike laughed with Rainbow after receiving the news
"Already!?" he asked, "I haven't even used all 10 of them publicly yet!" Spike popped the dial and spun threw it "I haven't used XLR8, Ghostfreak, and some haven't been used more than once!" Spike sighed "I should try some variety now that I think about it" Rainbow nodded and smiled
"Can I pick?"
"Sure" Spike responded
"Alright, use Ditto!"
"Wait why Ditto?"
"Trust me" She smiled "You'll make one person supper happy!" Spike looked at her and shrugged
"Sure, next catastrophy Ditto will solve
-Meanwhile-
"Lord Vilgax, all robot's ready for deployment"
"did you follow my instructions?" He demanded
"Yes sir, 3 Large Droids, all outfitted with 6 smaller droids, ready to be deployed on the area of maximum Omnitrix use.
"Good, send them down at 1-minute intervals, and start immediately"
"As you say sir" the small droid bowed and made his way to do as he had been told, Vilgax looked out at the planet
"The Omnitrix will be mine, nothing and no-one will stand in my way"
"Alright," Spike said as Rainbow watched "I Have Ditto selected on the Dial" Rainbow looked down at him
"Just make sure you don't screw up."
"I've used Ditto a few times, I'm not gonna mess up."
"Yeah, a few times. I'm not worried at all"
"That's the spirit!" Spike shot back when the ground beneath them shook and Spike smiled and dialed up Ditto with a flash Ditto held up his hand
"Let's go!" He ran outside and froze at the giant robot with 6 smaller ones floating around it "of course this is happening now" he sighed as he began running at full speed to the robot, he had just reached the town limits when there was a second earth-shaking boom. Ditto spun on the spot and watched as another robot emerged with 6 more small robot's detaching from it "OH COME ON!" Ditto sighed as he split into four
"ok you two that way, you with me!"
"BREAK!" the four split up and headed towards their individual robots, just as the first group arrived the third robot landed
'Oh, Come, ON!" Ditto sighed irritably "How is this a thing!?" the two Ditto's of both groups made doubled themselves and split up,
"Hey!" the first pair called out to the massive robot looming above them "Down here!!" The robot turned to them as did the 6 smaller ones, all 7 of them immediately locked onto them, the two Ditto's blinked then pointed at each other and said in unison "He said it!" before being blasted at, the two turned tail and ran for cover. as the lasers fired they jumped behind a pile of rubble and looked at several ponies watching them, several of them where ponies they didn't know by name, but one stood out "Oh, Hey SweetieBell" They said in unison. Sweetie gasped
"You know me! Did Diamondhead talk about me! Does Arctiguana know me?" She asked in excitement before anything else could be said the robots moved around and 2 Ditto's Split into 4, each on gripping a pony and moving out of the way. one of the Ditto's and Sweetie ran into the empty Sugar cube corner. ducking in cover as the glass shattered, Sweetie turned back to him "So Does Arctiguana know me? Did her get my gift!?" the Ditto sighed
"Why did I say hi? " he thought "that was just stupid " Outloud he responded, "Yeah, he knows of you, listen I gotta go, robot invasion and what not, Just stay here..." the two turned as Mr.Cake cleared his throat
"We've got a couple dozen ponies hiding in Fridge."
"Safety awaits," Ditto said with a smile motioning Sweetie in the direction "Also I thank you for that" the Ditto added pointing to the Fourarms statue with 4 Ditto's on it "Upchuck is super jealous"
"Oh your...hm...hu..." Mr.Cake muttered into Silence as Sweetie made her way past him to the freezer and the Ditto ran out to rejoin the fight, as Mr.Cake walked back into the fridge he looked over at his wife "Our little cloning friend has just brought a great Business opportunity to mind."
Meanwhile
"Sweet mother of the moon" Rainbow Dash said in awe as she watched the mechanized chaos from the Castel "I sent Spike into that...AS DITTO!" She stood in silence before turning back into the Castel "TWILIGHT! ERROR'S HAVE BEEN MADE!!"
Meanwhile
"Bad Idea, Bad Idea, BAD IDEA!" a Trio of Ditto's where all yelling in unison as the Robot's hunted them down, one of them was cut off as he was blasted to green dust "We should have gone in stealthy!!" a second Ditto managed to say before being blasted to dust as well "Probably!" The last one agreed as he was also blasted away, the robot's stopped, scanned the area and they and the big robot began moving towards one of the middle robot, the one of the far side doing the same, meanwhile Ditto exited Sugar cube corner and looked around, he spots a noticeable lack of Ditto's around him "Alright, So I'm never taking a beat ever again" He Decided as the Robot army gathered around him the three robots scanned him and confirmed
"Orignal found"
"Neat" Ditto said as split into a small army and help up a broken wagon wheel "DItto's, throw stuff!" with that the Ditto's began running around and throwing what few items they could while being vaporized, at the same time one of them snuck into Sugar Cube corner and into the Freezer much to the amazement to the ponies
"Is it safe to come out?" Mr.Cake asked
"Actually I have just come to tell you all that you might wanna run as fast as you can to the Castel before the robot armada outside finishes vaporizing my clones." The crowd blinked
"So let's use the backdoor then?"
"And I suggest you refrain from screaming." Ditto added before splitting in to and playing rock paper scissors, the winner walked over the Mr.Cake and the loser ran back out the front
"To The Castel!"
"Wait...Are you the original? or was that the Original?" Sweetie asked, Ditto opened his mouth, shut it, then answered
"I don't know." He confessed "Never thought about it before." he blinked "How do my powers work?" Ditto stood in silence before turning to the door "Well that brought up a lot of weird questions but as I don't wanna die I suggest we all move as I suspect you all wish to not die as well!" With that Ditto hightailed it out of the fridge, split into three, the middle one ran to the door and let one of the other Ditto's run out calling for everypony to follow him, Ditto held open the door and once they were all gone closed the door.
"Ok time to think of a..." He turned, and was then jump scared by Sweetie Bell "AHH!!" He screeched before coving his mouth "Need to put a bell on you...ha...cause your name's bell, that was unintentional but still kind of funny" DItto laughed before clearing his throat. "Anywho, Sweetie if you'd be so kind as to join the mass of screaming ponies so I may focus on stopping the Robo-apocalypse..."
"Why don't you just call in Diamond Head? Or Four Arms..."
"You just said a sentence to me without mentioning Arctiguana...that's pretty deep."
"I'm serious, we need a heavy hitter, someone who won't explode when hit with lasers."
"Hey!" Ditto snapped back "I bet you'd explode too! my Clones or at least their memories, all return to me after they've been destroyed, which leaves the confusion of how this power works slightly less in the air, but still in the air non the less!" Before this could continue a Ditto slammed open the door and blinked at the sight of sweetie bell
"So...you two have about 7 seconds before your stepped on.."
"Wha..." was all Sweetie bell could say before the first Ditto grabbed her and threw her to the second one just as the Robot for broke through the floor, Ditto rolled backward with Sweetiebell and the two looked up at the destroyed Sugar cube corner
"Hey, Sweetie?" Ditto asked
"Yeah?" She answered in silence
"Could you run to the Castel and get Twilight...I need to call someone else...anyone else... to do this." Ditto set down Sweetie, who ran at full speed away from the giant robot directly in front of them. Ditto squinted as he looked up at the robot and picked up a rock. "You're A WASHING MACHINE!" He yelled throwing the rock at the robot, who responded with a laser blast, Ditto jumped out of the way and ran full speed into a nearby collapsed building. "Ok...So it's been a while, so if I'm the last clone then I should..."There was a loud beep and a flash and Spike sighed with relief
"Thank goodness I'm not Ditto...wait." Spike looked down at the depowered watch and panicked "I should have tried to run farther!" He realized when a giant robot foot hit the ground next to him and three drones joined him, Spike blinked and jumped over a partially destroyed wall, running at full speed "Come on Watch! I need to XLR-8! I'm gonna Die here!" To his surprise, the watch responded
"Scanning area." A laser blasted over Spike's head and the watch beeped "Life threat confirmed, Activating Survival mode, please select number." Spike blinked in silence
"What?" He demanded when a laser shot over his shoulder, Spike skid around a corner and jumped into a trashcan, he sat in silence as the drones flew over him and away, he sighed with relief before turning back to the watch "Number?
"Please select a number." Spike blinked
"20?"
"Denied" The watch responded "Try again" Spike muttered when the watch clarified "Number to high, Training wheel program in place, please try again or deactivate Traning wheel program." Spike blinked.
"Uh...15?"
"Accepted." The Watch beeped and turned green
"Active playlist, 10. 5 available slots unlocked." Spike blinked
"Figure it out later" he sighed "Survive now" He turned the dial "Let's go..." in a flash Ghostfreak floated out fo the trashcan
"Wrong alien." He sighed "Fine, work with what you're given." He flew up high and looked to one of the large robot's, he flew at top speed and inspected for a moment "I wonder?" He phased through the robot, and looked around at it's complex inside, "Wonder what would happen if I did...this?" He when tangible and began pulling out wires. outside Rainbow Dash looked at the robot walking towards the castle with Twilight and several over citizens of Ponyville.
"Oh no." Rainbow facehovved "I had to go Ditto." She muttered before speaking loud "Is Ditto still here?"
"He said he was calling in someone else" Sweetie replied when suddenly the robot that was approaching's arm suddenly started smoking, with a loud band the arm blasted off and into another robot, the broken robot took another step and with more smoking, it's entire upper body self-destructed. The ponies watched in amazement when a large chunk came right at them before Twilight could react several tendrils wrapped around it and Ghostfreak tossed it away
"My bad," He said looking down at the stunned crowd "didn't think it would blow up like that."
"A ghost!?" Sweetie asked in shock "That's so cool, I think that makes...what 9?"
"10! Scootaloo called out, Rainbow said there was a speeding guy." Ghostfreak thought for a second
"well, actually there are going to be..." He stopped when several droend made their way toward them and opened fire "Hold that thought." Ghostfreak turned and charged the drones, they all beeped and turned to show Ghostfreak their tops. "Ok?" Ghostfreak said in confused silence when their tops opened and shot out a fair amount of green goo on him.
"How did you go down!?" Scootaloo demanded as Rainbow helped him up, the answer came from the watch
"Warning Protoplasm has been solidified." The ponies and Rainbow looked down at it
"Since when does that thing talk!?" Rainbow demanded
"It's new," Ghostfreak responded before the watch spoke again
"User in Danger, switching form." in a green flash Arciguana stood in confusion
"So I guess I'm here now." he said in confusion "That's kewl." Everpony and Arctiguana flinched when Sweetiebelle squealed
"IT'S HIM!" She sighed before passing out on to the grass.
"Whoa!" He said stunned "That's unfortunate." Applebloom and Scootaloo came to her aid
"We got her." They said as the hauled her off, Arctiguana broke through the crowded and with one break froze all the drones, who subsequently fell and shattered.
"Hold it," Rainbow said jumping on his back.
"You said something about funny in response to ponies saying you have 10 aliens?"
"I..might have 15 now, or maybe it was referring to something else. Kind of busy right now." Articiguana froze the ground in front of him and began sliding down to ponyville with Rainbow.
"You say that like it isn't the coolest thing ever!" Rainbow called back, maybe you'll get something that can fly as fast as me!"
"Maybe." He responded as they made it to ponyville. "Ok, I'm gonna freeze the big guy's legs, and you sonic rainboom it so it shatters!"
"Aye, aye oh captain," Rainbow responded as she Jumped into the air and began flying up. Arctiguana slid to a stop and looked up at the giant robot in front of him
"ok, deep breath's Spike," He said as he took as big of a breath as he could before blasting the robot's leg's, the Robot turned to him and held up its hand to blast him, with a loud boom and the yelling of the word
"Uh oh." Articguana said before being blasted into the sky "I CAN'T FLY!!" He screamed when suddenly he was frozen in the air, he blinked and looked to his left at the sound of heavy breathing, Twilight gasp for air at the speed she had flown
"You...are never making a plan without me again!" she said angrily
"Fair 'nuff." Artiguana responded before he turned back into Spike in a flash of red, Twilight looked down at the robot and when it held up its hand to fire again covered it in a bubble, the bubble reflected the blast and the robot went down.
"Nice play!" Rainbow called, flying back to her friends "But we still got...there were screams and the three turned to see the remaining 12 drones attacking the castle and the ponies of ponyville.
"You two get papa robot!" Spike said as his watch went green "Time for XLR-8 to make his big Debut"
Scootaloo had come back outside after dragging Sweetie inside and was now stuck with Nurse Red Heart and Mrs.Cake hiding behind a section of wall Ghostfreak had knocked down
"Any last words?" She asked her fellow doomed friends
"Don't be so grim, I'm sure somepony will help."
"Maybe Ditto will come back?" Nurse Red heart asked
"You almost as bad as Sweetie" Scootaloo sighed "I Just wish I could have seen the speedy guy"
"Who me?" A fourth voice asked, the trio turned and looked over at XLR-8, who waved "Give me a second." He flipped his visor down and ran out of cover, the trio watched in amazement, He ran in a large circle and the drones where one by one slammed into the ground, XLR-8 proceded to jump in the air and crush them one by one then in a flash he was behind them again, all of this taking place before anyone could even blink, Scootaloo had stars in her eyes and held up the only thing she had on her
"Will you sign my backpack?"
"I already did." She looked in shock as she saw XLR-8 already written on it "ah...that's so cool" She said in silence, XLR-8 saluted and ran off, immediately afterward the last large robot exploded, Scootaloo looked on in stunned silence.
"TEAM XLR-8!" She screamed out in glee! the other two mare's behind her shrugged
"Team Ditto" Red Heart said bluntly
"Fourarm's saved my husband, so Team Fourarms." within minutes the 10 factions had started a fight over the best alien, meanwhile Spike and Rainbow watched from the side and chuckled
"How does Ghostfreak already have that many fans?"
"How do XLR-8, Stinkfly, and Upchuck?" Spike responded "I've only used them once in public!" the two turned and looked as Twilight began removing robot's from the town and workers moved in to help with repairs.
"So...15 now hu?" Rainbow asked The Watch responded
"Active playlist 10 out of 15." The two looked at it and Spike shrugged
"well, on the bright side if my life is ever in danger the watch will save me. so that's a win."
"All Droids destroyed Lord Vilgax." Vilgax sat in silence for a moment
"Leave me" he responded, his robot servant bowed and left the room, he sat in angry silence for a minute looking down at the mud ball that was hiding the Omnitrix from him, the Robot's hadn't been his original plan, but he felt he was giving the wielder of the watch to much time to learn how to use it, he pressed a couple of buttons on his chair
"How many have responded."
"6 in all sir."
"Send them in."
Author's Note
This was fun, and I hope you loved it
oh, what's this? 5 new aliens? does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm only taking 3 alien suggestions, 2 of them have already been preselected.
"I'm not enjoying this" Stinkfly grumbled as Fluttershy moved his wings up and down with her hands, They where in her cottage, Spike had been kicked in the shin by Angel and the watch had reacted before Spike could
"This could be a problem" Fluttershy sighed "If you transform randomly whenever you attacked the things could get dicey quick if somepony accidentally runs into you in the streets."
"Oh it's not that bad" Stinkfly responded "I don't really care about the Secret Identity thing, I just think it's funny to see others argue over witch me is the better me, he blinked before adding
"I heard Nurse Redheart has a crush on Ditto, but you didn't hear that from me" Fluttershy sighed
"It's not very nice to gossip..." Fluttershy stopped when there was a knock on the door "Oh that must be Cheerlie, I forgot we had tea this afternoon, Fluttershy walked over to the door then froze when she realized she had a giant alien bug in her house, who was now attempting to nail angel with a buggy kick
"I must defend my honor," Stinkfly said as he chased after the rabbit, who was still mocking him with faces. Taking a deep breath she opened to the door and greeted her friend
"Hi Cheerlie, I'm sorry about this but I...invited a guest over to join us."
"Oh? Well as long as their...whoa." Cheerlie stood in silence as she watched Stinkfly poke at the couch Angel was hiding under
"Shin Kicker" Stinkfly muttered before turning and facing Cheerlie "Whoa! Where'd you come from!?" he asked looking around "How long was I chasing Angel for?" he turned his eye's to look at the clock behind him "hmm...not that long actually."
"Your...one of those alien hero guy," Cheerlie said in awe.
"yes nice to meet you Cheerlie," Stinkfly said before realizing he had no reason to know her name
"Oh, Fluttershy already told you about me then?"
"Um...yup, you're a teacher and what not." panicky slightly as he felt like his time as Stinkfly was almost up he added lamely while still looking at the clock "Oh would you look at the time, I've double booked the evening, so sorry but I have to fly, maybe we can have tea another time Fluttershy!" Cheerlie moved out of the way as Fluttershy helped Stinkfly leave and the two watched as he flew away.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that Chee..." Fluttershy stopped mid apology when Cheerlie turned to her shaking with excitement
"Oh my Celestia that was awesome! I didn't know you knew some of those hero guys! I don't suppose you could introduce me to Wildmutt could you? I saw him saving Scootaloo and I really need to thank him, anyone who saved one of my students is a friend of mine."
"Um...sure, yeah I know Wildmutt, I'm sure I could find some time where you two could meet, might not be for long tho, they tend to be...you know, very busy what with being hero's and what not." As the two made their way to Fluttershy's kitchen Angel poked out from under the couch and shook his fist, swearing Vengeance on Spike for the chase."
Meanwhile, Spike was on his way to Sweetapple acres, he actually had accidentally double booked the evening and had timed out just as he was about to arrive.
"I guess this worked out in the end, this way I didn't have to run out on Fluttershy." As he turned the corner he was met with the line for admission, at the front of the line was a large stand with the words "Meet Heatblast today at 7 pm" he was lucky, as it was current 6:52. He walked around the line and meet Applejack at the appointed meeting place
"What took so long?"
"Long stupid story, turns out I auto transform now if I'm kicked by a rabbit, and it also turns out it's hard to get out of a door as a Giant fly." Applejack nodded
"Fair enough." she responded, "Alright, you said that activating survival mode fixed that thing where each transformation lasted less time than the one before right?"
"As it is at the moment I can now stay in alien form for 10 - 15 minutes, depending on if I activate it or if survival mode activates it."
"Alright, remember, you pop in as Heatblast, say hi, make a few of your fans happy, Tell my Sister you know about her existence since she's such a fan of yours, then you leave, join in the crowd when you time out, and I pay you for your time, and a free Heatblast Cider to go with your trouble."
"What exactly make's the Heatblast Cider different from normal cyder?"
"It cost's twice as much, and thanks to Big Mac calling in a few favors..." Applejack walked reached into her bag and pulled out a Cup in the shape of Heatblast's head "They all come in this collectible cup, and they have a little bit of Mango added since you like them so much" Spike smiled
"I approve of this drink." He said as he looked at the cup "I'm gonna put you next to Fourarms" He decided as he looked over at the crowd "You do have enough cup's right?"
"Oh yeah, We've gone big on this promotion, even imported some apples from Applelossa and a few other Apple family orchards just to make sure each cup is filled, and look at this turnout!" Applejack smiled "Oh, I smell a new plow." Applejack stepped out from the field as Spike dialed up Heatblast, in a Flash Heatblast waved as the crowd cheered him and Applejack on as the got on the stage, Heatblast standing on a special metal plate, Big Mac stood at the ready with a Fire Extinguisher.
"Hey Ponyville" Heatblast said with a wave,
"I Love you Heatblast!" Octavia called from the crowd "You saved our lives!"
"I'm making a song about you!" Vinal scratch called out
"I saw the entire thing!" Junebug called out "It was awesome!" A large roar of woot's came from the Fire Fighters who had shown up to the event. several of them yelling thanks, and a few thanking him for making sure they were recognized along with him. Heatblast threw a fireball into the air, it exploded and formed the Word Apple before smoking out.
"You Three, go to the area I have designated, should team A fail, you will draw the Omnitrix and it's user far from their home territory, and team A," He turned to his second team of Bounty Hunters, "You three are to go to the area of most Omnitrix use and should you fail, make sure to 'accidentally drop' your communication device so they can be driven into the trap. his two teams saluted as they made their way to their destinations, One of his robot droids looked over at him,
"I thought you only required three Bounty Hunter's my Lord." The Droid said in confusion, why allow three more?"
"I have my reasons!" Villgax responded waving the droid away "Go Get Psyphon for me." as the Droid did as it was Ordered Villgax waited till the room was empty then opened a screen, "I did as asked"
"Good, Make sure my boys are paid good for their time, I just made 'em and I want them well taken care of, Capiche?"
"Yes Ma'am," Villgax said with a nod before ending the call, he sat in silence for a second before shivering "She scares me" he muttered to himself while waiting for his lackey."
Applejack and Heatblast both gave a bow, cameras where going off in the crowd as Heatblast waved at Applebloom who was shaking in excitement. Heatblast gave a peace sign before walking off the stage and going behind it, Big Mac made his way to the stand and began selling the sider with Applebloom and Granny Smith, Applejack made her way backstage.
"Seriously thank you." Applejack said happily "This is gonna bring in so many bits, oh That new plow is as good as mine!"
"What with you and plows?" Heatblaste asked, "What do you even need a plow for? this is an Apple Farm! what do you have a secret corn crop?" before Applejack could reply to that she was silenced when a Red Dot appeared on the Heatblasts chest symbol. her head flashed to the side as three cloaked figures stood next to her barn, two of them holding Blaster cannons aimed at Heatblast. "Duck!" She yelled loudly, she and Heatblast just moving in time, the stage being blown to pieces.
"Hey, that was expensive!" Applejack yelled at the figures, the crowd murmuring at the flaming wreckage. Heatblast looked back at them before walking towards the figures.
"Alright judging from what's in your hands and how you're using 'em, guess you wanna take me down?"
"That would be the correct assumption to make, yes." The Tall slim one with the Gun said. The one on the opposite sides was much larger in shape and size, the one in the middle was silent and covered head to toe in a cloak, the middle one stood his ground while the first two stepped forward."Now I'm gonna have to be asking you to be kindly handing over that which is called the Omni Matrix." Heatblast blinked at him.
"The what now?"
"That thing there on your chest." The Big one said as he walked forward to attack when the smaller one stopped him
"Why'd you do that?" Applejack asked while the rest of the Apples tried to evacuate their customers.
"Because one tiny miss fire will set your home and your lively hood on fire." Heatblast responded as he waved around them "I'm gonna start a forest fire, and it's your forest!" Applejack looked around her farm, her rather flammable farm."
"Change aliens." Applejack demanded.
"Oh I can just do that at will now can I?" Heatblast asked as he and Applejack ran from another attack from the brothers, Applejack shook her head.
"We can rebuild the Barn, it's better than letting these bastards blasts our tree's down."
"Alright then let's get coo-" Heatblast had raised his hands to attack when two blue beams shot out from the cloaked figure where its hands would be, in a flash Heatblast's arm's where frozen from his shoulders to the tips of his fingers. "-Of course." He managed to say before a larger blast fired from its chest and froze him from the waist down. The two brothers aimed carefully at Heatblast when Applejack threw a rock at them, she hit Rhomboid and Octagon shot at Heatblast, just as it was about to hit the Symbole beeped.
"Danger." Heatblast disappeared in a flash and the rocket flew over Upchuck, who reacted on instinct and shot out his tounges, snatching the blast up before it hit the crowd behind him and spitting it back at Octagon.
"Uh-oh." The two brothers managed to say before being blasted through the Barn walls.
"Oh yeah!" Upchuck cheered before noticing the lack of a third hole, "Wait where did the-AH!" The Figure shot out from the tree's and kicked Upchuck into the air before blasting him into the air, Applejack watched as he flew far into the orchard, the Cloaked figure already speeding off after him, She turned to give chase when a blue beam froze her hooves to the ground. She wobbled for a second before turning to the crowd.
"The heck you waiting for? Somepony go get Twilight!"
Meanwhile
Upchuck hit the ground and rolled through the trees, he lay on the ground for a moment before pulling himself up
"Heck of a Sucker-Ah!" The Figure slid to a stop behind him and grabbed him by the tail, he proceeded to swing him around and launch him into the air, blasting him into the distance once more. "You suck!" Upchuck called back at him as he flew off once again. the Figure ran after him to repeat this action a total of 5 times before stopping and letting Upchuck get back up. "Alright chicken, lets fight." Upchuck made to eat some rocks and got his tounges lasered. "AH! I thought you had Ice powers!"
"I have many powers." The Figure replied as he held up one of his hands "Not that I need them since I'm about to win in 3 seconds."
"Oh, and how are you..." With a loud beep and a Flash Spike blinked "...I see." before more could be said or done Spike got lasered in the chest. "You suck!" Spike said as the Figure walked over calmly and picked Spike up by the arm.
"Now, I'll be taking this, and probably your entire arm!" Spike reacted to that by flailing wildly, which accomplished several things, it made him drop a little and let the Aliens claws drag across the faceplate, causing it both glow yellow and Spin and causing Survival mode to kick in.
"Alien DNA Scanned." The Watch said "Danger." It added, in a Flash, The Figure jumped back as it stared at an almost identical copy of its self.
"Eye, eye, eye!" Eye Guy said as he blinked his many eyes "Is this what you look like?" He used his hand eye's to look at himself "Cause if so you look awesome." Eye Guy smiled as he turned to face his foe. "Alright, let's see how you favor on an even playing field."
"I am a trained mercenary." The Figure said simply as he got to his knees "Even if you where to gain total mastery over your body, I have a Single advantage that you do not have." Eye Guy looked at him.
"Wait...how can you see me through your..."
"My Cloak is See-through, and protects my eye's from hazards." Eye Guy realized what was happening just as it happened, His foe dug his hands into the dirt and shot forward, coating Eye Guy in it before rubbing some into his shoulder eyes.
"GEAH! MY EYES!" Eye Guy screamed as he started tearing up "Your such a dirty fighter!"
"Say what you will, I am the Victo-" without warning the unconscious Vreedle brothers fell from the sky and landed on top of the evil Eye Guy. after a moment Twilight landed in front of him
"Hey there," She said angrily "I'd like to have chat with you Eye Guy."
"Oh, I'm a use that." Eye Guy said as he began whipping the dirt out of his eyes.
"How dare you! My name is Sight Soreeyes the 4th!" Soreeyes freed his hand and reached out to one of the Vreedle brothers activating the teleported to their ship, after a moment all that remained was a small flat disk. after a moment of silence, Eye Guy began laughing.
"His name was Sight 4 Soreeyes!?" Twilight looked back at him.
"The 4 would be at the end of his..." Eye guy was to busy laughing to hear her as she shook her head and picked up the disk "I'll have to figure this out later, Come on Eye Guy." Twilight shook her head "Suck a stupid name."
"Oh don't be like that, after all, it was your name." Eye Guy replied, "Even if it was directed towards the other guy."
Meanwhile
Soreeyes muttered as he buckled the two unconscious brothers up and took on of their communicators, he pressed on it a few times before it activated.
"Lord Vilgax, team A has failed, Communication device left at the scene, Omnitrix user will be ready to fall for your trap."
"You have done well, I have sent you the credits, you are relieved of duty." after checking that he was paid he hung up and set the ships Auto Pilot.
"Stupid magic pony." He muttered angrily "I could have gotten 6 times as much if she hadn't interfered, should team B fail, which they will, I shall make plans for my return, and this time I'll make sure no purple ponies get in my way!"
Author's Note
and the 11th alien arrives, along with an original villain (Name of Sight Soreeyes the 4th Provided to me by Viper Pit )
Twilight was trying to figure out what the Disk she had gotten from Spike's would be assassins was and how it worked, and just to keep the castle quiet she had convinced Spike to go check out the town and see if any new stuff was going on thanks to his Aliens, Spike had been happy to oblige and had been on his way to town when screaming told him a monster was attacking, Spike ran down to the town and was met with the sight of a dozen Timberwolves raiding the market, the animals of Everfree seemed to be getting more agitated and had started attacking the town more often, this proved it as Timberwolves had never gotten so close to the town before, Spike dialed up an alien and Stinkfly flew overhead as they closed in on Bigmac defending his stand. The Wolves where slowly closing in when Stinkfly got to close, the wind was blowing on Stinkfly's back and coating the entire street in his horrible stench, It smelt bad to Bigmac, but to the sensitive nosed Timberwolves it was on a special level of terrible, the stink was causing them to fall apart on the spot, the entire pack began running back to the forest to get away from the stench, Big mac watched in silence as Stinkfly landed.
"Hey come back!" he called "I haven't done anything yet!" Stinkfly began giving chance and Big mac watched in silence as the rest of the hiding ponies of the town came out and watched Stinkfly chase after the wolves.
"Oh wow," Carrot top said "That's an unfortunate superpower,"
"Eeyup" Big mac agreed. The Wolves ran into the forest and Stinkfly watched from the air as they ran into their cave, he landed and kicked dirt at them.
"Fear my smell!" he declared, he was about to start flying back when a voice echoed through his head, faint and impossible to make out, he blinked as he looked around, he was a good way into the Everfree forest, and it was complete silence, no sound of birds, no sound of small animals scurrying in the grass, just wind. "Oh heck naw," Stinkfly declared "This ain't right, this isn't even a little right," He took a breath and called out "Hello!? Scary monsters? Small animals? Annoying insects?" He looked around, the echoing voice was beginning to give him a headache "Nope! Nope, nope, nope!" Stinkfly spread his wings for takeoff and proceeded to time out.
"I hate you," Spike said staring at his watch as the echoing continued before Spike could move his watch began beeping.
"Danger," and in a flash Spike was Turning into Heatblast,
"What the..." He started when it stated Danger again and turned him into Fourarms, who blinked and began backing up, looking around for the source of the danger when the watch beeped again and turned him into Ditto,"
"This is starting to freak me out a little," Ditto said, "If you're some big evil scary bad guy, congrats on..." the watch beeped and turned him into Diamondhead.
"...really nailing the scary," Diamondhead looked around, his heart racing as the watched beeped and began shuffling him threw his entire playlist until he was Ghostfreak, and it made a deduction.
"All Aliens in Active playlist compromised, searching Omnitrix alien database for a solution," and with that, the watch went silence, the Echoing seemed less prominent, but was still present, Ghostfreak blinked and moved across the clearing to where the Timberwolves had fled to, they where at the back of their cave, all poised to attack, their eye's staring past Ghostfreak, their ears moving as to trying to find sound, he looked at them in silence as he thought, the Echoing had turned to scream when he had briefly shuffled to Wildmutt, so much so that he had ended up on the ground in pain, the Wolves with their sensitive ears seemed fine,
"They don't hear the Echo, they just hear the unnatural silence of the forest," He realized when suddenly the Echo turned into a voice, a voice behind him.
"Yes, I'm afraid my device has no particular effect of plants," Ghost freak turned around and looked up at an old looking pony standing on a Cragodile, a large assortment of Monsters standing silently around the clearing. "I must say you have a very interesting device, that puny town I've been using as my testing site seems to think you are a different entity with every transformation, but I see past that nonsense, I can see the power of DNA in that device, I can see it flowing through you, you will be my most powerful minion,"
"Sorry," Ghostfreak said as he looked over the many Animals around him "But I'm not currently looking to apply at the moment,"
"Oh you have a mouth on you I see, I hate that but don't you worry, the only reason you still resist is because you possess higher intelligence than that of the creature you see before you, but even that will not save you, Turn into your Fire from, your Chrystal form, the one with the eye's, the one that can clone itself, you can turn into whichever one you want, but I promise you this, in a Matter a minutes even your ghost form shall bow before the all inspiring might of the Great Doctor Aloysius Animo!"
Author's Note
My Fav Villian.
Ghostfreak didn't have much time to try and think out a plan as the animals began surrounding him, he knew he was a ghost and could just fly through them but the Echoing in his mind had shifted, it was now clearly Animo's voice telling him to obey, echoing through his head and messing with his mind, try as he might Ghost freak kept shifting back and forth between being tangible and not.
"Danger," he said, the Omnitrix agreed and he was Ditto.
"Alright time to spli...geah!" Ditto had begun splitting into two when the voice in his head gave him a splitting head ace, with a snap he was one Ditto again, "Plan B!" he decided as he turned to the Timberwolves cave and ran in, "Ha-oh snap," Ditto slid to a halt as the Wolves began growling and getting closer, circling the sides of the cave to trap him in, the largest one was getting closer when the Omnitrix beeped.
"Alien found, Species Florauna and Species Methanosian Immune to..."
"Fine whatever give me one and..."
"Selecting first option, Florauna now active in playlist," the Watch beeped and in a flash, Wildvine blinked.
"Oh hey that stupid voice is...oh boy," Wildvine took a step back as the Timberwolves came full circle, "Wait don't eat me! Where Plant bros!" Wildvine held up his hands and the Big Timberwolf sniffed him, growled and turned the other way, It took Wildvine a second to realize what had happened, "Oh yeah, you guys are Carnivores, and I'm not made of meat!" he managed to get a fist pump off when a Huge hand dug into the cave and pulled him and several Timberwolves out, WIldvine was left staring face to face to an Ursa Minor, which turned and presented him to Animo.
"Well now, It seems your little device saved you from my mind control, how interesting, I'll have to..." Wildvine hear a crack and suddenly he was covered in a huge plum of Smoke, he fell to the ground as the Ursa fell back, several small black objects fell near him and with a weird feeling, he felt something grow on his back and, after a quick check, he smiled.
"I got smoke bombs, I'm mean, smoke seeds, seed bombs? Whatever they are that's Sweet," he got on his feet and made a judgment call. "To Twilight," He decided as he turned tail and tried to run for it, only for the Cragodiles tail to nail him, sending him flying back into the Timberwolves cave. "That was Bogus!" He called back as he got up, several of the Timberwolves had walked over to him and before he could react they began licking him. "Oh, we plant buds now or something?" He asked when the Cragodiles jaws began reaching into the cave, Vines shot out of Wildvnes back as he grabbed the Three wolves around him and carried them to the back of the cave with him."OK plant buds, you got a back door or something?" one of the Timberwolves barked at him and Wildvine nodded, "Yeah, I suppose that would require an extra set of guards to cover..." Wildvine blinked "...I actually understood that" Wildvine stared blankly before smiling "I am the Fluttershy of the plant world...I hope," Wildvine closed his eye and focused, Sending his energy to the trees around the clearing before yelling out "Help a Plant bro out?" there was a loud ruckus outside and Wildvine checkout outside to find the entire clearing had come to life and was wrapping around the animals, "Just hold them there plant buds! I'm gonna go get the Princess to set that....that..." Wildvine looked at Animo and realized something, he was wearing the dumbest outfit he had ever seen in his life, "What the heck is up with your hat?" Wildvine asked with a laugh,
"You dare laugh at my Transmodulator?" Animo demanded, "This is the most powerful device across all of Equestria and with it I shall..." A Vine wrapped around Animo's mouth and Wildvine gave him a peace sign.
"I'm sorry you said Transmodlarator and I just stopped listening." He said "Bye!" Wildvine be-lined it to Ponyville, he made it 3 steps when a Timberwold knocked him off his feet, before he could hit the ground he was on the back of another and as one the entire pack began running in formation with Wildvine riding up front.
"Oh this is Wild!" he blinked "That's it Wildvine! I'm so awesome at names, Forward my Wolf pack, to Ponyville, and try not to eat any of the ponies when we get there," The Pack ran uninterrupted for about 5 minutes and was just about to make it out of the forest when loud earth shaking thumping could be heard from behind them.
"Oh boy," Wildvine said as he looked back just in time for Ursa to sideswipe at the Timber Wolves in the back. "Plant bro's fall to the sides and stay out of the line of fire, I'll whistle if I need you!" All the Wolves save the one Wildvine was riding began splitting off into the forest, Wildvine looked back at the Ursa, on top of which stood Animo with a crazy smile.
"I dunno what your overall goal is, and I don't know what stage this is on your plan, but It's all gonna come crashing down thanks to Wildvine."
"How quaint, you've already named it, no matter soon you will time out, and when you do I'll make sure you don't get the change to transform again!" Wildvine decided not to mention the survival function which he was pretty sure had traped him as Wildvine for as long as Animo's Mine control thing was focused on him, Wildvine patted the Wolve.
"Alright bud, when we get to the edge of the forest, loop back around and join your pack, I'll hoof it from there, the Wolf barked back that it understood and Wildvine got on his feet, before looking back. "Your hat get's even stupider the more I look at it, I recommend a Change in fashion,"
"Insolent fool, this helmet it the source of my power, with it I control all the animals of this forest!" Animo seemed to think that would make him seem more fierce, instead, it made him look stupid.
"Did you just straight up tell me how to beat you?" Wildvine asked "Really?"
"Oh don't worry child! You'll never get close enough to me with my pets around!" Wildvine decided that was a red flag and patted the wolf.
"Now!" The Wolf took a mighty leap forward and dissolved into a pile of sticks, sending Wildvine flying out of the forest, he landed on his feet and slid a fair way before getting his footing and running towards the town just as the Ursa broke through the tree line.
"Why would he chase after them?" Fluttershy asked as she and Rainbow made their way towards Everfree.
"Probably got caught up in the moment," Rainbow replied, "Or maybe he saw something odd and chased the lead." She shrugged "We can ask when we find..." Rainbow's response died in her throat as Wildvine came running into view "...Is that another new one...oh what?" Rainbow was cut off in her own surprise when Animo and the Ursa came into view, she and Fluttershy could hear the two yelling at each other.
"You can't escape from me!" Animo called as the Ursa began catching up. "I was going to let you live, but for causing this much trouble I'm going to dissect you and use you to Mutate these creatures into an unstoppable army with your Powers."
"Is that supposed to make me slow down?" Wildvine called back as he speed up, only just noticing his two friends "Wanna stare or you wanna move?" he asked, grabbing them in his vines.
"What the heck is happening right now?" Rainbow demanded as he let her go and she flew next to him
"Crazy guy using a mind control device to control monster into attacking the town, doesn't work on plants." Fluttershy's facial expression as she stared at Animo, and his face staring back, indicated to Wildvine and Rainbow that they had met before.
"You!" Fluttershy said, her voice filled with more hatred than either had thought she could muster.
"Me," Animo agreed.
"Your that dirtbag that was Harvesting Breezies!"
"I was doing the Scientific community a favor, we can not learn if you do not study, and we can not study unless we are the ones in control."
"Hey so just a F.Y.I," Wildvine cut in "Doctor crazy hat's powers come from his crazy hat."
"No offense but that is an Ursa, Sorry but I don't wanna lose a wing," Rainbow replied.
"Alright then start an evacuation," Wildvince snapped back. "Fluttershy.."
"Spike" she replied "Help me take this guy down,"
"Wildvine will gladly help, and so will his buds," Rainbow was gonna ask if that was a plant joke when Wildvine put his fingers in his mouth and began whistling, in the forest, the Timberwolves made their move as they combined into the Mega wolf. Wildvine turned on the spot, letting go of Fluttershy, Rainbow shot past them, having not expected them to stop, most of the Citizens of Ponyville had taken notice by now.
"Wow," Applebloom said "A Plant guy."
"He looks kind of cool," Scootaloo replied as the Ursa skid to a halt, Animo stood up and raised his hands.
"Residents of Ponyville, I am Doctor Animo! soon you will know me as your ruler, help me take this hero down and you will be rewarded, don't and your enslavement shall be painful!" The sound of running hit Animo's ears and he turned just in time for the Mega Timber wolf to jump over him and the Ursa, Wildvine let go of Fluttershy and whistled again, the Wolf slid to a stop and lowered it's head, letting Wildvine climb up, the Wolf turned to Animo and Wildvine stared at him.
"You want a Monster fight? I can get down with that!"
Author's Note
1st - Yeah, I used Wildvine's reboot design, and I don't regret it.
2nd - I'm thinking of doing something like Omni-Enhanced since I like it more than the Ultimate feature, but that would require Shock-rocks, Comment below if your against that Idea or not, you have time so don't worry.
3rd - there will be chapters in the future where Spike will be stuck as a single alien due to reasons.
Rainbow dash looked at the standoff in silence, Fluttershy was cheering for Wildvine, with some of the townspeople joining in as he rode on top of the Mega Timberwolf, Dr.Animo was monologuing to Wildvine about D.N.A and Mega Monsters, and Rainbow couldn't tell if Wildvine was listening or pretending to listen.
"...and then no pony shall stand in my way!" Animo cheered, Wildvine nodded.
"Sound logic, one small problem tho," Animo raised a brow "I'm not a pony, Wolf surprise attack!" The Wolf jumped at Animo who commanded the Ursa to catch it. "I'm gonna take you hat and feed it to Upchuck!" Wildvine managed to say before the Ursa used the fact that it was more than just a giant pile of sticks to shatter the Mega Timberwolf and sent Wildvine flying, he flew up to where Rainbow was and looked pretty chill. "Probably should have seen that coming," He said before plummeting "Get Twilight!" he added to Rainbow who flew in place for a long moment.
"I can't not watch this," She decided, Wildvine hit the ground and lay on his back in silence.
"So if your helmet hypnotizes all living things, why not hypnotizes the town folks?"
"Fool, it specially tuned to not affect ponies, otherwise it affects could be used on me,"
"Fair, fair," Wildvine replied as 4 large vines grew out of his back and picked him up "Props to you for thinking of that,"
"Thank you," Animo replied as he pointed at Wildvine, the Ursa swung down and Wildvine booked it on his back tendrils, the Ursa carved out a large chunk of the ground as it's claws barely missed Wildvine. As the Ursa began following after Wildvine the Mega wolf began to reform behind it. Wildvine managed to doge the Ursa's second attack, and failed to get out of the third ones way. He was sent flying and flew threw a wall and into coming to a sudden stop, he blinked and found himself sitting in the extended arms of a Fourarms statue. He looked around at a small crowed held up in Sugar Cube corner before looking at the statue of Fourarms and the Ditto's.
"I have the sudden desire to buy a cupcake," He muttered before jumping off the statue and rushing out of the building before the Ursa could bring it's wrath upon it. The crowd watched in silence as he ran out into the street.
"I kind of want a cupcake," One of the ponies muttered, from behind the counter Mr and Mrs Cake looked at each other.
"We could add a Vegan menu and commission another statue," Mr Cake said to his wife.
"After the attack honey," Mrs Cake replied simply "For now lets get some Cup Cakes ready,"
Wildvine slid to a stop and pointed up at the Ursa and Animo dramatically. "I failed to think up a cool line" He said lamely "Don't judge me, I had like 12 second to think of one," Animo gave no reply as the Ursa slammed it's large paw down on Wildvine, who moved out of the way and wrapped one of his vines around the bear and began climbing up to Animo, the Ursa smacked at him, only to end up slugging itself in the arm. The Ursa let out a roar and Wildvine laughed at it just in time for Animo to turn his back and reveal his back up plan, a cat was on him and it jumped and latched onto Wildvine's face, prompting him to scream out, "Ah, my field of Vision!" Animo managed to get out a laugh when a howl filled the air, he just had time to turn before the Reformed Mega Timber Wolf tackled the Ursa and sent it, along with Animo and Wildvine flying threw down the street, Wildvine rolled down the street of Ponyville a fair ways before finally coming to a halt. He had a look of annoyance on his scratched up face.
"Hey," He Called out, looking strait up at the still spectating Rainbow. "So what's this called?" He asked, much to her confusion "It that the, standing very still and letting the plant do the work move? Or is it the Twilight will just show up at the most convenient time move?" Rainbow gave a guilty smile as she flew down next to her friend.
"Sorry?" She tried.
"Apologies after you get Twilight," Rainbow nodded and took off, Wildvine turned to the downed Animo just in time for the Cat to return and latched onto his face, Wildvine went wild trying to get it off his face. And Animo got to his hooves laughing.
"You see, there is no creature in Equestria who can stop me," Animo's laugh quickly stop when he hat was shoved off his head, he turned and was slapped across the face by a very angry Fluttershy. The Cat blinked and dropped off of Wildvine who rubbed his face before looking up at Fluttershy.
"Great job Flutter, kind of forgot you where here to be honest, but so did Animo so good job," The was a confused grumbling sound and the two looked over at the Ursa, who looked lost as the Timberwolf stood atop of it. It Growled angrily and once again tossed the creature across the clearing, Wildvine rushed to his Wolf friends as Fluttershy picked up the helmet and up to the Ursa to try and calm it down, The Wolf looked up at Wildvine. "You know, I think you guys are good to head on home, and if you head that way," Wildvine pointed to a path heading into the Everfree forest "And make your way that way till you find an old castle I think you may just find a few Puckwudgies hanging around," The Wolf pulled itself together and Licked Wildvine, who gave a chuckle and waved as the Wolf split back into a pack and ran down the path towards there soon to be Dinner. "I'm gonna miss those guys," he said before finally timing out.
"Oh thank goodness that's over," Spike said with a sigh before a roar sounded behind him, he turned on the spot and was met with the sight of an angry Ursa pounding on the ground, Fluttershy flew to Spike with a worried look.
"I don't think she's old enough to understand me," She said worriedly as it began tearing up the ground.
"Maybe Twilight can just come and put it to sleep?" Spike tried as he looked at his red watch, the Ursa growled and looked down at the duo before raising its hand. "Better plan, RUN!" The two booked it as fast as they could and the Tantruming Ursa followed in suit. Animo got to his hooves and smirked.
"Now to make my escape!" He declared as he turned and proceed to run immediately into Big Mac, Animo looked up at him and gave a guilty smile as a few ponies came out of their hiding placed and surrounded him. "I surrender?" He asked Big Mac smacked him atop the head and he fell unconscious.
"Eeyup,"

Sorry this is so late, Hope you enjoy it.
Twilight was writing as fast as she could as she looked up at the map in front of her, she had just finished the letter and was about to head out to find Spike and have it delivered when Rainbow burst in threw the doors.
"Hey, Crazy guy attacking the town with an Ursa," Twilight's eye twitched.
"Come on, we gotta hurry,"
Meanwhile
Spike and Fluttershy were hiding in the currently empty Fan shop having a small fight
"Four Arms," Spike said as he tried to free his hand from Fluttershy.
"No, you can't hurt her," She objected "she's just a baby, she doesn't know what she's doing, just Turn into Ghostfreak and lead her out of town,"
"It'll be easier to carry her out,"
"But you might hurt her," Fluttershy pushed the button to lift the faceplate just as Spike gave his best tug, causing it to hit her arm and transform him, in a flash Wildmutt and Fluttershy were standing in silence, Wildmutt gave several irritated noised and Fluttershy gave a nervous laugh.
"Oops," was the best she could come up with before Wildmutt picked her up and placed her on his back after a mighty roar Wildmutt ran outside the fan store and looked towards the Ursa, who was digging a hole into the ground, Wildmutt chucked a small rock at it and the Ursa was on them immediately. Wildmutt kept her on his tail with his noise-making, with Fluttershy joining in once she got the idea, the Ursa chased them down as they lead it to the outskirts of the town back towards the Everfree forest, They were just about to make it to the forest when the Ursa slashed into the ground and sent a giant chunk of dirt into Wildmutt and Fluttershy who were sent flying, Fluttershy managed to take flight as Wildmutt ended up flying into the forest and out of sight. Fluttershy kept the Ursa's attention as she dogged its angry swipes.
"Oh please calm down," Fluttershy begged as she slowly began leading it back to the forest. The Ursa swiped at her a few more times before it was suddenly enveloped in Lavender Magic.
"I got it," Twilight called as she began doing the complex ritual of putting the baby to sleep. With the Ursa now in good hands Fluttershy flew to the forest to check on Wildmutt, she found him snuggly lodged in a tree.
"Oh dear, are you ok?" Wildmutt gave a snarl as a reply and she frowned "There is no need for that kind of language," Wildmutt gave a few barks and she smiled at him "Yes I know, now let's see if I can't unstick you,"
The 4 watched as Animo was carted away, he was tied up and muzzled and on his way to Celestia's Dungeon.
"Man that guy was something else," Spike said with a head shake as he waved goodbye to the villain.
"Yeah, Something awful," Fluttershy replied before patting Spike on the head "Thanks for stopping him, I've gotta go make sure none of my Animal friends were hurt in his chaos," Fluttershy left the group with a wave before Twilight turned her attention to Spike.
"Spike I need you to send this to Princess Celestia, you and I are going to the Crystal Empire,"
"Yeah ok," Spike replied as he blasted the letter off "So why we going to the Empire?" Twilight pulled the Disk out of her pocket and held it up to Spike before turning it on.
"Because those guys who attacked you at the farm dropped this," Spike and Rainbow looked at the map of Equestria that appeared out of the disk, a large red x was resting over the Crystal Empire.
"Ah," Spike replied as he looked up at it "That might be bad,"
"Yeah, good thing you're like," Rainbow thought for a moment "12 different aliens," Twilight processed that and looked over at Spike, who smiled at her with a shrug.
"I got a new on,"
"Of course you did," Twilight replied with a sigh, "Well Rainbow thanks for coming to get me, Spike and I will be heading out-" Rainbow Gave Twilight a smile and she sighed yet again "-but of course, your welcome to come with,"
"Oh, you know I am, Rainbow Dash and a team of Alien Heros?" Rainbow Scooped Spike up in her arms and tossed him up into the air "We're gonna be freaking Legends!" Spike laughed as she tossed him up.
"Yeah, Maybe when I have like 20 or so Aliens I'll make the announcement that all the aliens and I are the same people," Rainbow's eyes sparkled.
"Oh man just think of all the cools guys you could get, maybe you'll get one that can fly as fast as I can,"
"Maybe even faster," Spike replied as Rainbow stopped tossing him and set him back on his feet.
"You wish," Rainbow replied with a grin as the two made their way to the Train station, Twilight Teleported away and packed a few books and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. She Teleported to the Trainstation and looked around for Rainbow and Spike, who seemed to have started a conversation with a few other Ponyville residence.
"Ditto is without a doubt the best one," Red Heart said as Twilight got close enough to hear.
"He's ok," Mr.Cake replied "He definitely tries," He paused for a second and scratched his chin "Or...they definitely try?" There was a moment of silence as the group pondered the odd question before Mr.Cake shrugged "either way, gotta go with Four arms, personal bias,"
"Heatblast," Octavia decided "Personal bias,"
"XLR8," Rainbow decided "Kind of scary how fast that guy is,"
"Um," Spike said as the group looked at him "I dunno, I don't think I have a favorite, just kind of like them all,"
"Hey, I've been meaning to ask," Mr.Cake said pointing to Spike's wrist "Where'd you get that cool watch, it has there alien police badge thing on it and everything,"
"Twilight," Spike said without hesitation, The entire group shifted their focus on Twilight who had frozen, Rainbow was snickering,"
"Don't ask for one," Twilight called out immediately "The thing was expensive, and basically covers Spike's birthday and Christmas for the next 10 years,"
"Dang," Mr.Cake said as the group began breaking apart so they could sit and wait for the train, "Custom made?"
"You know it," Spike said with a smile. "And it was so worth it,"

the chapter name refers to Wildmutt being send flying, couldn't think of a better chapter name sorry.
The cold winds of an endless winter blew for as far as the eye could see as Spike and Rainbow looked out the window.
"So what do you think?" Rainbow whispered to Spike as she gazed off into the frozen horizon.
"I think..." Spike paused for dramatic effect as the sound of the winds buffering the train cart echoed through it "...Heatblast could walk through it," he declared with a nod.
"No way!" Rainbow snapped back "he'd be blown out like a birthday candle by the wind alone, add the freezing snow and there's just no way it's happening," as the two continued their debate as to which of Spike's Aliens could make it through the harsh environment surrounding the Empire for miles Twilight was two seats away from them with her headphones on and scribbling down a report on everything that had happened with the Omnitrix so explaining it to her brother and sister in law would be easier, the Train has a few more occupants Like Mr.Cake who was on a delivery, and Octavia who had a gig at a nice restaurant in the Empire, along with a handful of other ponies out on their own business. Mr.Cake was looking out the window when he saw it, a light off in the distance that was slowly getting closer and closer. He watched it get closer and closer before he got a good look at its source, a menacing-looking creature was closing in on the train with the aid of a jet pack, on the other side of the train Octavia was watching as a large bulking creature got closer to the train on a floating board. Both cried out in alarm and very quickly started a panic.
"Hey," Rainbow said as she and Spike looked at the one with the jet pack "Think there with the Vreedle boys and Soreeyes?" Spike looked at Rainbow then at the guy outside and held up his arm baring the watch and pointed at it, their new friend proceeded to pull out two blasters.
"Yup," Spike decided before both he and Rainbow ducked as a laser was shot through the window, melting it instead of shattering it.
"Panic!" Spike cried out loudly, the residents of their train car were happy to oblige, it didn't take long for Twilight to notice the panic, she took off her headphones just as the one with a Jetpack tore a chunk of the wall off.
"Um Princess," Octavia said as she peeked out from under Twilights seat "Can you teleport a hero here by chance?" Twilight sighed before lighting her horn and declared loudly.
"Alien Hero," without hesitation a blinding Green light filled the cart and Heatblast stood tall for about half a second before the wind from the open wall hit him.
"Oh, my starts it's Freezing!" He managed to cry out before being decked in the face by the Jetpack Alien, who was in turn kicked in the chest by Rainbow, dealing no damage but knocking him out of the hole in the wall.
"You couldn't have been more specific?" Mr.Cake demanded. "Maybe asked for the one not made of fire to appear in the middle of a snowstorm!?" Twilight gave the baker the stink eye and he slinked under a nearby seat with a nervous laugh. Heatblast got to his feet and started shivering.
"It's even worse than I thought it would be," he managed to say before the one on the hoverboard broke through the other side and grabbed Heatblast by the back of the head before flying out the hole with him and throwing him into the snow, Heatblast was sent tumbling at high speed through the snow with a few choice words of anger before something shot out of the ground and hit him hard in the side just as the symbol on his best beeped and in a flash turned him into Ghostfreak.
"Better," Ghostfreak said as the thing that hit him came out of the ground and revealed itself to be a Robot Crab, "Hu," He said before going intangible, the Crab Robot looked around for a moment.
"An Ectonurite," he said with some amusement in his voice "What are you gonna do? Scare me to-" The Crab was interrupted as Ghostfreak punched him in the back of the head, The Crab turned on the spot only for Ghostfreak to do it again, He turned and faced his claw behind him, shooting something onto Ghostfreak who went Tangible.
"Did my Protoplasam just solidify?" He asked with a tone of irritation
"It did," The Crab confirmed before decking Ghostfreak in the eye and sending him flying back towards the train tracks, he chased after the ghost as he landed and punched at the Ghost again with his not claw hand when there was a beep and a flash of green. The Crab blinked as he found his fist not in the face of an Ectonurite, but in the midsection of a much big, much Redder Alien.
"This is gonna hurt isn't it?" Crab asked in fear as his arm was grabbed hard. The Symbol on Fourarm's shoulder beeped.
"Correct," Fourarms smiled before slamming down on the Crab robot only to be shot in the back by the Jetpack one with little lasting effect save for a stinging pain.
"You know," Fourarms said irritable "The Last guys at least introduced themselves before shooting at me,"
"That's cause they were idiots," The One on the Hoverboard said as he fired a blaster at Fourarms to little effect again.
"What about you jet pack?" he asked, the Alien with the Jet pack proceeded to make many noises, none of them Fouramrs understood in the slightest. "What about you Crab?" there was a moment of silence as the Crab back up.
"How do you know my name?" Kraab demanded indignantly.
"Lucky guess?" Fourarms replied as Twilight and Rainbow made their way to him.
"Lazer horse!" Kraab cried out "Fallback!" Kraab ducked his neck in and duck into the ground in retreat with the Jetpack guy following his lead and blasting off.
"See you soon kid," Hoverboard said before throwing something onto the ground and enveloping the area in smoke, after a moment Spike stood coughing as Twilight and Rainbow landed.
"Good," Spike grumbled as he rubbed his face "My face hurts,"
"You did get decked in the face and carried out by the back of your head," Rainbow reasoned.
"And hit in the face a third time," Spike added, as Twilight helped him onto her back she heard him grumbling about solidified protoplasm.
"Something wrong?" Twilight asked as they took flight.
"My face hurts," Spike repeated irritably as they headed to the Empire.
as the trio was flying through the snow and wind Spike was holding on for dear life doing his best to not be sent flying.
"Why is the wind so bad?" He called out, his words being swept away with the winds as he tried to speak, He saw Rainbow's mouth moving but failed to hear them, though he figured she had probably cried out to turn as she proceeded to sharply turn and crash into Twilight sending the three all falling, in a flash Stinkfly was there to try and save the day, only to be sent away from his friends as he tried to take flight and was instead sent flying.
"Curse you Hindsight!" he cried out as he was sent blasting off with the wind, he was sorta saved when the wind and cold became too much for Stinkfly and he suddenly turned into Artiquana in midair, He had a second to enjoy his immunity to the harsh cold before he plummeted and hit the ground. Artiquana lay in his snow crater for a moment before sighing.
"Well, least I ain't cold no more," he crawled out of his hole and looked around. "Which way did I come from?" he questioned as he looked across the snowy expanse, before picking a direction at random he loudly told the Omnitrix to activate the Life form lock, and a metal cap covered the symbol on his hand, no longer having to worry about the cold Artiguana set out to search for either his friend or Train tracks. all he could see was hills of snow and ice, no signs of the train tracks or his friends. "How far away was Stink fly sent flying?" He wondered aloud as he climbed to the top of one of the snow hills, in the far distance he could see the shine of the Crystal Empires protective barrier. Waisting no Time Artiguana began moving as fast as he could to get to the empire, he was about halfway down the hill when he heard someone cry out in alarm, he looked over to the source of the cry just in time to be hit in the side by an electisity spell, causing him to fall over and roll the rest of the way down the hill, landing hard on some ice at the bottom.
"Today is not my day," he decided as he pulled himself back up and was instantly met with multiple spears being pointed at his face as several Crystal Empire guards surrounded him. Before he could say anything one of them spoke up.
"Stand down and surrender creature, or we will be forced to take you down with force,"
"I'm sorry what?" Artiguana asked in confusion, the unicorn guards all instantly hit him with more taser spells
"Surrender!" The guard repeated, instantly followed by more tasers, after this was repeated twice more Artiguana managed to get a word in.
"I surrender, just stop tasing me!"
"Detain him!" The guard said loudly, Artiguana was expecting to be bubbled by a spell or tied up with magic, instead, they all started tasing him again. Instantly Artiguana let spat out a stream of ice at his feet sending him flying away from the guards and scattering them with the blast, as soon as he landed he made a wall of ice between him and the guards and turned tail and ran for it, the guards blasted down the wall and gave chase, several throwing their spears and thankfully missing by a mile. their taser spells were on point and Artiguana was hit several more times, one of them hit his arm and he fell on his face and was instantly overtaken. he to get up but was overwhelmed by taser spells and fell unconscious.
Articguana opened his eyes in confusion, every inch of his body stung and his arm and legs had been tied down with magic, he was being carried to the Crystal empire by the guards, who all seemed very proud of themselves for tasing him.
"Did you see me out there?" one of the guards said, "It was terrified of me, the look on its face when I struck it with the old tase spell,"
"We all hit it with the tase spell," One of the other unicorns replied as he rolled his eyes at the boasting guard "I'm just glad we caught this guy before he could join those other three,"
"You better not have just tased the heck out of me for no reason other than being an alien," Artiguana said angrily making the guards jump.
"Oh look who's awake," The leader of the guard group said as he eyes Artiguana "You know maybe if you have just cooperated and surrounded we could have done this the easy way-"
"I did surrender!" Artiguana snapped back, "You tased me anyw-" one of the guards tased Artiguana again and told him to be quiet. Artiguana stopped talking but was very close to turning them all into guard-sicles when he was suddenly tased again with a snicker from one of the guards, followed by a third tase.
"Tase me again," He said loudly and angrily "Go ahead, do it again, see what happens," instantly every unicorn began tasing him again and he let out a scream before blasting his icy breath below him and once again sent himself flying, breaking the spell holding him in place as the unicorns holding him jumped away at his attack. As soon as he landed he stood his ground and began firing ice's blast at the guards, scattering them as he did so, instead of stopping Artiguana aimed up and blasted his ice beam into the sky, he didn't stop until he ran out of breath, and by then he had done what he had set out to do as Rainbow Dash flew to him from the direction of the empire.
"There you are," she said, looking out of breath, she quickly changed one when she got a good look at him and noticed a lot of singe marks and even a few burns. "What happened to you?" her answer was given when one of the guards fired the tase laser at him again and he fell to the ground in defeat.
"That," he said into the ground as the guards regrouped and began detaining him again only to be stopped by Rainbow.
"Hey," She said angrily "Who's in charge here,"
"That would be me," The leader said proudly "No need to thank us for capturing this alien criminal, just part of the-"
"This guy is here specifically to help you take down the alien criminals, he came here with Princess Twilight and was separated after a fight with your alien criminals,"
"Well then the princess can come here and tell us that, until then I'm afraid I'm going to have to place you under arrest,"
"I'm sorry what?" Rainbow demanded as she and Artiguana were both put in a magic bubble.
"You'll be questioned for any connections between these alien invaders and will be tried fairly for your crimes again your own kind,"
"What are you stupid," She said angrily "I'm Rainbow Dash, Element of Loyalty!"
"Yeah, yeah, sure you are," The guard said with a laugh "Any pegasus can dye their mane, now let's deliver these two to the dungeon and report back to the guard captain,"
Author's Note
the reason Spike didn't get an Electricity alien when he was getting tased as Artiguana was because he was in Life Form Lock.
Stupid guards are stupid.
Rainbow dash sighed as she lay against the side of the bubble with her back hooved resting on Atriguana, the guards had moved into an odd formation with the leader now standing in the back and two other's flanking the side while the remaining 4 guards all stood in a line in front of the bubble.
"This sucks," Rainbow declared, one of the front unicorns scoffed.
"Shut up we're almos..." The Unicron was cut off sharply as he and the other three in front were all suddenly coated in Crimson lightning shot at them from the three in the back, they screamed before falling to the ground unconscious.
"Ah," Articguana said as the 'leader' and his two companions made their way to the front of the bubble "So it was some idiot guards and some traitor guards,"
"No, sadly most guards are like this," The leader said as he reached for his face and pulled it off, revealing his entire body as an illusion, with his real face under yet another mask.
"Mask-seption," Artiguana said with a nod, "confusing but kinda kewl,"
"What is happening?" Rainbow demanded as the two other ponies revealed themselves to be of similar ilk.
"I am Enoch," the leader said "His voice sounding infinitely different from before,"
"This has helped explain nothing," Artiguana noted before blinking and staring at Enoch's face then his companions "Wait one second, none of you are unicorns but were still in a magic bubble, and you tased me and your fake friends, how in the..." the eye's of Enoch's mask began glowing and Artiguana was tased yet again, as Artiguana was being tased Enoch spoke up.
"I suggest you don't use that breath of yours, it will break the barrier but not before it freezes your friend,"
"Disable Life form lock," with a bright flash he was Spike again and smiled.
"Interesting," Enoch said as he gave Spike once over "You can turn into a dragon, this changes things," Enoch turned and motioned his two cronies forward and Spike and Rainbow were split into separate bubbles. "You are not like the three we have been researching, you warrant special study," Enoch turned to Rainbow, gave her a once over, then turned to his two goons, "take her far from the empire, and dispose of her, make sure there is nothing left to find,"
"Man this got dark," Rainbow said as the two goons set off to do their task "Good luck in escaping Spike,"
"Same to you," Spike replied with a wave as Enoch began rushing towards the Empire with Spike in tow.
"So tell me, creature," Enoch said as he made his way closer to the empire "what is your connection to the three other's aliens who are invading this land?"
"I'm here to kick their cans out of Equestria," Spike replied with a confident smile.
"Ah, rival aliens, trying to invade the same land," Enoch said "Well we shall put an end to both you and their attempts at control,"
"Dude I'm trying to help you here," Spike said as he pushed against the sides of the bubble "I'm pretty sure we're on the same team here," Spike was taken aback by Enoch's laugh.
"Yes, the same team, honestly I'd be insulted but I've heard of the aliens in Ponyville, who I know now are one alien, you. The citizens have taken your bait and welcomed you as a hero, but we are not so easily fooled, after all the technology used to attack Ponyville was of alien origin, funny how you show up not too long before it hm?"
"I swear, I have no idea who keeps sending giant Lazer robots after me," Spike's defence fell on deft ears as Enoch stopped a half-mile away from the Empire and dug his front hooves into the snow, Spike watched dumbfounded as a hatch rose up from the ground, Enoch entered, the hatching closing itself behind him and quickly being hidden beneath a thick layer of snow. Spike sat in silence as he saw multiple ponies, all dressed identically in odd-looking medieval knight armour.
"Does Celestia know about you guys?" Spike asked with a noticeable tone of concern as he looked at their rather alien-looking weapon's, glowing swords, energy mace's, and normal looking lances he suspected were less than normal. The response to Spike's question was a laugh, but it wasn't Enoch's laugh, it was a familiar laugh that made him sick as soon as he heard it, Spike turned on the spot and stared bluntly as his least favourite relative approached.
"Blueblood," Spike demanded in confusion as his cousin walked towards him "What kind of nightmarish fever dream am I in?" Blueblood gave no sign of noticing Spike and instead look to Enoch.
"Why is that in here?" He demanded with a groan "My aunt is a moron but she'll notice if her number one student's assistant goes missing,"
"I am sorry sir," Enoch said "But I'm afraid this is no dragon, it is some kind of alien changing," Blueblood made a face and made a few motions with his hoof, Enoch nodded and suddenly Spike's bubble turned from Red to Blue.
"What's this do?" Spike asked, he was given no response and upon looking back at his captures found them talking, "Oh, it a magical mute button. Like this wasn't confusing enough without knowing what's going on around me," Spike looked at his watch and sighed, knowing it would be a while before it recharged. Spike lay on his side and watched Blueblood say anything to Enoch before turning away, Spike's Bubble was left blue and he was carried around the underground system to what Spike figured was their holding cell's Spike's Bubble was placed between two small pillars and Enoch left him, Spike sat in silence and cried out in vain.
"What is happening?"
"A good question," A pony said making Spike jumped as he looked to his left, where an adult Earth Pony stallion was examining him, Much to Spike's shock, "Though I doubt you'll find your answers screaming at a bubble,"
"This situation no longer makes logical sense to me," Spike decided as she rubbed his eyes and found the Stallion was now standing outside the bubble, tapping away at several buttons on the Pillar, after a moment Spike fell to the floor and the Stallion helped him up.
"Yes, well you'll have to expect that from time to time now that the Omnitrix is clamped onto your wrist,"
"Who in the what are you?" Spike demanded as he gave his rescuer a solid once over. He was light brown, with a Black mane, he wore a white lab coat over a white shirt with a brown vest and black tie, along with a pair of goggles with green lenses dangling around his neck, the Stallion pulled out a pocket watch and nodded.
"Ah, we haven't yet met, well allow me to introduce myself, I am Professor Paradox, and I am here to save your life,"

Ta-da
Spike had so many questions, and no time to ask them as alarms began blaring.
"Now might be a good time to transform," Paradox recommended "I do apologize, but due to the uniqueness of this particular timeline I'm afraid I don't know who you have in your playlist, but if you have Buzzshock, Feedback, Frankenstrike, or Shocksquach I would recommend one of them,"
"Those sound like cool names," Spike responded "It's a shame I have no idea what you're talking about, you mentioned timelines or something?"
"Oh, good heavens," Paradox shook his head "The first meeting is always the worst," He complained "Look young Spike, if you have a transformation that can deal with electricity then I suggest you use it,"
"Uh..." Spike looked at his watch and shook it "I'm gonna be in the red for like another hour,"
"What kind of limitation is that?" Paradox demanded as he looked at the Omnitrix "Oh, survival mode, I must say I've never seen anyone actually activate it before, I wonder if that mode is unique to the equestrian branch or if other Omnitrix users from across the multiverse could use it as well?"
"Dude you keep making no sense," Spike complained irritably.
"Apologies," Paradox said "Your branch is still relatively new, I've only met you two or three times, a rare occurrence I assure you, now if I remember correctly you had...ah yes," Paradox pressed on the faceplate and in a flash Buzshock stood before.
"I'm sorry what?" He demanded as he looked at his hands in confusion.
"I typically try to avoid messing with timelines, but your timeline only exists because of Enoch's attempt at jumping to a different Omniverse connecting two Omniversal tree's that should have never connected, as such everything in this timeline is already a mess, so this is a rare occurrence where I can intervene as much as I like, not that I plan to mind you, I'm mostly just saving you because I've met you in the future, or will have met you in the future?" Buzzshock just took this random dump of knowledge at face value and proceeded to forget most of it as he tried to remember it.
"Dude, your being was too exposition-heavy, talk small," Buzzshock turned at the sound of hooves hitting the floor, and turned to find Paradox was gone, "I...I have no clue what just happened?" Buzzshock felt electricity spark between his fingers and thought for a moment. "Not feeling like a Frankenstrike or a Shocksquach, so should I be Feedback or Buzzshock?" he thought for a moment before deciding to ask Rainbow dash "Oh crap I have to save Rainbow!" Buzzshock ran on his tiny legs and found himself standing before Enoch.
"I know not how you escaped, but you shan't be doing it again," Enoch fired his fake magic at Buzzshock, and he felt power coming from it and jumped into it, using it to turn into living lightning and, now feeling all electrical power in the area, jumped into the lighting system, leaving the knights behind he quickly mapped the entire facility within second and pooled all of his energy into a camera, causing it to explode and returning him to the surface.
"Dude, there are cameras hidden in the snow, so not cool," Buzzshock felt the flow of magic in the air, and could literally smell the magic of loyalty that Rainbow embodied. "Yo, the magic in the air is so, beautiful," Buzzshock used all his will to stop himself from admiring the thousands of different frequency's of magic in the air and instead used his power to travel into the clouds, he moved through the clouds as pure energy and found Rainbow kicking at her bubble as the knights were working at making a hole in the river large enough to drop her bubble in.
"I see," Buzzshock realized "There gonna put the bubble underwater, and wait for the hole to freeze before freeing Rainbow, she'll drown long before she breaks through the ice," Buzzshock sucked in some magic around him and focused on Rainbow before coming down like a bolt of Green Lightning that lit up the sky so brightly they could see it from the Crystal Empire.
"What the actual hell?" Rainbow demanded before Buzzshock popped into existence.
"Hey Dash, need a hand,"
"Another new guy?" Rainbow demanded "and he does Lightning, oh dude I am so showing you off to all the Wonderbolts when you get bored of the secret identity thing,"
"Praise later, Survive now," Buzzshock replied as he used his electric powers to force a hole in the bubble and burst it. Rainbow and Buzzshock stood before the knights. The eyes of their masks began glowing and Buzzshock jumped at the opportunity and absorbed the taser, sucking out all the power of the masks with a distorted laugh before raising his hands and tasing them with green lighting.
"Lightning rod," Rainbow nodded "Way to make them taste their own medicine,"
"Actually That was my energy," Buzzshock replied, his squeaky voice starting to make Rainbow chuckle a little the more he spoke "I feel more like I ate their energy,"
"So, we gotta give this one a good name,"
"I'm stuck between Buzzshock or Feedback,"
"I dunno, Feedback sounds cool, but Buzzshock just has a little extra pop to it,"
"Buzzshock it is then," Buzzshock declared proudly "Let's go and..." There was a beeping sound and Buzzshock looked to his back, where his Omnitrix symbol was "...Awe man," He complained before turning back into Spike.
"Well, I'm still gonna go call Blueblood the rudest name I can think of,"
"Blueblood?" Rainbow demanded in confusion "That can't be right,"
"Yeah, it just...doesn't make sense," Spike agreed "And yet I saw him so..."
"Did you check his face?" Rainbow inquired "Could have been some guy who was pretending to be Blueblood, although why someone would willing give themself that face is beyond me,"
"Honestly," Spike nodded in response "fake Blueblood makes more sense, that little snot could never organize something this big. But if he wasn't Blueblood then I am back at no longer knowing what is happening in the slightest, but I'm gonna go get some answers dangit," Spike began trudging through the snow when he suddenly flashed into Wildmutt.
He snarled in confusion as Rainbow jumped on his back and grabbed onto some of his furs to keep herself steady.
"Oh yeah, I'm riding in style tonight," Wildmutt patted his hands, his fur keeping him warm in the snow, he smiled upon realizing that Survival mode had flipped a coin between Artiquana and Wildmutt to keep him warm while he was in the snow.
Happily accepting the faster of the two transformations Wildmutt began running across the snow at his fastest speed, easily transversing the environment and easily finding the entrance to the underground secret entrance, Wildmutt slammed his front claws into the ground and tore up the entrance.
"Secret snow door?" Rainbow demanded "That's kind of weird," Wildmutt tore his way inside, and found the place devoid of all life. Wildmutt snarled as he looked around for the knights, but was only notified to a presence when he heard a voice.
"A giant dog, how fitting," Rainbow looked up at Blueblood, staring at them from the end of a long hallway "And the element of Loyalty, two government dogs for the price of one, how nice,"
Rainbow was about to fly and attack him when Wildmutt snarled in irritation, looking in the completely wrong direction, as he searched for Blueblood. "Hey, he's over there," Rainbow pointed and Wildmutt turned, sniffed, shook his head, and continued looking. "Unless he isn't really over there, hey chuck something over to where I pointed you," Wildmutt ripped a pice of the floor our and threw it over his shoulder in response to her request.
Instead of hitting Blueblood the chunk of debris went through him, and the hallway he was down was sealed shut.
"It was a bobby trap!" Rainbow realized "Good job Wildmutt," Wildmutt snarled proudly as the watch began beeping and turned into Spike.
"How did they leave so fast?" Spike demanded, "This place is entirely empty, not even a piece of machinery is left?" Before Rainbow could guess they heard a low beeping noise.
"Say," Rainbow noted as he began backing away, "What do you think the odds of this place blowing sky high are?"
"Enough for us to run away," Spike decided before turning and running towards the direction they had come, Rainbow plucked him out of the air and the two flew out of the hole Wildmutt had torn open for them. They didn't make it far before the entire area was covered in a ball of fire, Rainbow was sent sprawling across the snow, and Spike was turned into Heatblast.
"Not appreciated," He complained as the cold began whipping at him, he was suddenly covered in a magic Barrier and looked up to see Twilight flying above him.
"I'm so happy I found you two," She said with a sigh before motioning to the crater in front of her "But would you mind explaining this?"
"I'd like to go to the empire first," Rainbow complained "The number of bad guys out here is insane and I don't wanna get tased with eye lasers again," Twilight picked up Heatblast and Rainbow flew after them towards the empire.
Twilight and Rainbow Landed, a group of guards rushing towards them as Twilight set Heatblast down, She had a moment to turn to him before he was once again blasted in the face by a spell, with life form lock-off Heatblast transformed into Diamondhead as he hit the ground.
"Ow," Diamondhead complained as a large number of spears were pointed at him "Being shot on sight is starting to get real old real fast,"
"Stand down," Twilight demanded.
"No can do," one of the guards replied "And you, your under arrest for your crimes against the Empire,"
"What crimes?" Diamondhead demanded as he got to his feet, not particularly worried about the spears "I just got here,"
"Yeah, sure," The Guards replied as Cadance landed.
"Cadance,' Twilight attempted to ask her sister-in-law for aid but was quickly assured that Cadance was heading off the problem when she shot Diamondhead in the face and sent him barreling into a wall.
"I'm gonna start taking offense to this," Diamondhead called back as Twilight rushed in Cadance's way.
"Twilight move," Cadance said angrily, cracking her knuckles "This creature and his friends need to pay for their crimes,"
"He's not with them," Rainbow said angrily "I'm taking offense on his behalf because several of your guards tased me with magic for defending him," several guards turned to her. "Don't you dare," She said angrily as they pointed their spears at her.
"Princess, it's possible these two are fakes, we have to take them in for questioning," Before Twilight could respond to that she was blasted by a spell and her eyes rolled into her head before she fell into Cadance's arms, Rainbow was given the same treatment.
"If you two are who you say you are then I'm very sorry, as for him," Cadance turned to Diamondhead, who was chilling in the wall, "Hold him in stasis until I secure Twilight and her friend," Cadance picked up Twilight in her arms and Rainbow in her magic as Diamondhead was once again bubbled.
"I officially take offense to this," Diamondhead decided, several guards attempted to tase him to no effect. Diamondhead was ready to tank it when one of the guards used a spell to grab the Omnitrix and attempted to pull it off of him. "Hey!" Diamondhead complained "That doesn't come off,"
"A likely story," The guard replied as the Omnitrix broke through the barrier, the guards attempted to pull it off before hitting it in frustration, the result was instant as it began beeping wildly before declaring loudly.
"Activating Randomizer function,"
"Oh not again," Diamondhead managed to complain before turning into Ditto.
"Great, I don't know how to turn this off you jerk," Ditto was tased and yelped in pain before turning into Wildvine.
"Chill bro," He demanded "I ain't resistant I'm complaining while already in custody, guard brutality is beyond cruel," The Guards carried him away and zapped him every time he transformed for good measure.
XLR8 Sat in the bubble with a sigh, he tapped his feet before turning into Four arms, who barely fit inside, after a short while longer he turned into Upchuck.
"Just gotta wait for Ghostfreak," Upchuck said as he sat in the bubble, doing his best to remain patient. he heard voices and the guards in front of the cell his bubble had been placed in stood at attention before Twilight spoke irritably.
"Get out of here," She demanded "Freaking calling me an impostor," Twilight opened the cell and pulled Upchuck out.
"Dude?" Rainbow demanded, "Why are you..." She received an answer to her unfinished question when Upchuck flashed into Eyeguy.
"The guards tried to rip the Omnitrix off of me," Eyeguy complained "Now Eye'm stuck in Randomizer mode,"
"You named the watch?" Rainbow asked "Omnitrix...has a nice ring to it I like it,"
"Actually the watch named itself," Eye guy replied before turning into Stinkfly.
"Send help," He added as his wings bent around oddly along the interior of the bubble, "Or at least make this thing bigger," Stinkfly gave the stink eye to the guards, knowing full well that they were slowly making the bubble smaller to mess with him.
"Now that I'm cleared of the suspicion of being a fake, let him out this instant," The Guards complied without hesitation, and upon exiting the bubble Ghostfreak floated before them.
"I do not appreciate this thing's comedic sense of timing," Ghostfreak declared angrily.
"Come on," Twilight said as she walked away "We may be too late to warn about the potential invasion, but we can still help capture the three who attacked on the train," The Trio made their way to the main throne room, Upon arriving Twilight, Rainbow, and Wildvine walked in and found Cadance and Shining talking.
"Twilight," Shining said running to her with great haste,
"Shining I..." Twilight was cut off when Shining ran past her and lit his horn at Wildvine.
"Stay behind me," He warned "These things are dangerous," Wildvine saw what was about to happen and dipped as a Bubble was formed where he had just been, losing a foot in the process.
"Ay yo, my Foot," Wildvine complained hoping in place.
"Stop," Twilight cried out, "He's with me,"
"Twilight that's an Alien," Shining said "You know, the things attacking us,"
"I take offense to that," Wildvine shot back before turning into Diamondhead.
"I have done nothing to earn this level of hate,"
"Twilight I'm sorry, but that thing needs to go back in a bubble, it's to dangerous to roam free, it's probably working with them as a poorly disguised spy,"
"Does he not know who I am?" Diamondhead asked Rainbow.
"Yeah, it occurs to me he'd have no way to know," Rainbow realized, "Hey Shining Armor," Rainbow called out to get his attention "You are aware that this is Spike with a super-powered alien transformation watch right?" Shining and Cadance looked at Rainbow in silence and Twilight facepalmed.
"Why didn't we start with that?" She demanded before turning to her older brother "I can vouch for that, and so can Celestia, speaking of whom can someone ask her to come here as soon as possible, she's the only one who knows how to turn that off," there was another flash as she spoke.
"This is starting to give me a headache," Fourarms complained as he rubbed his head.
"All the random flashes are starting to blind me," Rainbow shot back.
"I'm sorry hold up," Shining demanded "What!?"
"This is Spike," Rainbow repeated "And that's about it, in retrospect Twilight probably should have told you, he's had this thing for like a month at this point,"
Cadance marched up to Fouramrs and stared him down, "Who do you have a crush on?" She demanded.
"Rarity," Fourarms shot back before turning into Buzzshock.
"Oh hey, it's the new one," Rainbow noted.
"Where did that guy come from?" Twilight demanded in confusion "What does that make now, thirteen?"
Candace leaned down and demanded in a whisper to avoid everyone else hearing, "Why did I always buy you ice cream on Sundays?" She asked Buzzshock.
Buzzshock leaned in and replied softly "I caught you and Shining smoking Marry Jane and that was my price for silence,"
"Oh Sweet Celestia it is Spike," She cried out, backing away from it rapidly, "When did this happen?"
"A Month ago," Buzzshock declared before flashing into Ditto and immediately splitting into two copies and running across the room. Rainbow watched the two Dittos curiously as Shining stared dumbfounded at Twilight.
"It's a long story," Twilight groaned "One that I barely understand,"
"Hu," Cadance scratched her chin with a bemused look "There are two of him,"
"I don't think that's gonna work," Rainbow called out, realizing Ditto was hoping to stall out the Random Transformation the same way he stalled his time-out function,"
"Worth a Try," Ditto countered as they both felt drawn to the other like metal to a Magnet. They managed to hold out for a few moments before one of them lost their grip and was sent flying across the room, slamming into the second Ditto and sending them both tumbling to the floor before transforming into Wildmutt. Who made several irritable noises.
"That's Spike!?" Shining demanded in outraged confusion when the bright light of teleportation filled the room and Celestia appeared before them all.
"What happened?" She demanded as Wildmutt turned into Eyeguy.
"Eye want to complain about guard brutally," He demanded "They tazed me like a hundred times for no reason," Celestia didn't say anything in regards to that and instead walked over to Eyeguy and waited a moment before he turned into Fourarms and pressed the Omnitrix Simple with a figure, Turning the Fourarmed behemoth back into Spike.
"Ah, I can see again," Rainbow cheered as she rubbed the red flash of the Omnitrix timing out from her eyes.
"Alright," Celesita noted as she turned away from Spike and back to Cadance and Twilight "now Explain,"
Spike had just gotten back to the Castle when the Watch turned green again Spike looked at it then looked inside
"Maybe I can have some fun with this?" He thought, he pressed to button was pressed it down, expecting to ignite again, only to find he was floating. "whoa" Ghostfreak said in shock "It has more than one transformation in it...but this one sounds scary," as he looked around he went to open the door, only to phase threw it."I'm a Ghost! That so cool" he barley got this out before the symbol of his chest beeped and said
"Incorrect Alien Species: Ectonurite. Home Planet: Anur Phaetos "
Meanwhile inside
"So wheres Spike?" Pinkie asked
"He ran away from our scary music remember" Rainbow said with a snort then added "he was right tho, It was a horrify experience to listen to it" the others giggled and continued messing around unaware that Ghostfreak was floating above them invisible.
"Time for some revenge" he thought as he flew down and flew threw Rarity she shivered
"Oh my, It just got really cold all of a sudden!" as she shivered Rainbow giggled
"maybe its a ghost" she said mockingly,
"Don't be silly" Applejack said "Ghost aren't real"
"Who told you that?" Ghostfreak asked silencing everyone immediately
"Wh...What was that" Fluttershy whimpered
"Because who ever told you that" Ghostfreak said, becoming tangible behind Applejack and taking off her hat"was very wrong" There where screams in a flash they where all on the other side of the room with Ghostfreak and the Hat on the other side.
"Impossible" Twilight said "It a Ghost!" he horn lit "I don't know why your hear, but if you think you can take us in a fight..." It was at this moment that Ghostfreak realized he probably shouldn't have done that and did the first thing he could think of
"Good point! Bye!" and with that he fazed threw the wall leaving behind threw scared and confused mares and a hat. he floated up to his room and started laughing."That was so worth it, just to see there faces" and with a Beep and a flash Spike flopped on his bed, never having been happier to have gone on a walk.
