I wish now that I knew what was going to happen. “What are the point of toungs really?” I ask my friends with my usual ‘not high but I’ll sound like I am anyway’ routine. “Seriously, I mean, we use them to taste and stuff. I know that, but why do we need them? We could just have had taste buds in our mouth, would have stoped a ton of pain in the world.” “Kendrick,” one of my friends say. “Yessssss?” I respond. “Save it for later, I don’t want to question my life this early in the day.” I was going to respond in a confusing, and sarcastic way, but I was so rudely interrupted by several pops and screams. Good thing to mention here, I’m a stocky kinda fat 6ft5 man, and when I need too, I will be the strongest of anyone around me. I’ve always appreciated the art of the fight, and had learned how to use weapons of all kinds, except guns, guns were a cowards weapon for those that just want to kill, not for those who wish to be an actual fighter. I despise guns for that reason, but my other half, the scholar, loved the efficiency of the small explosive weapon. Being the paranoid basterd I am, I immediately assume school shooter, and I become a very dark joker when life is in danger. My adrenaline starts pumping, and before I rush off to confirm my fears and to face the one killing, I make one last dark comment to my friends,”Might not have a life to question soon. I’m going to stop him, come along if you wish to save lives.” I rush off, 2 of the 5 join me, wow, it seems just like a MLP episode in real life. A group of 6 friends with half of them rushing off to deal with a great evil, the others help those fleeing. Little did I know this was the ultimate irony. We find a kid in a black hoodie standing over two dead bodies, laughing and crying at the same time, literally listening to Pumped Up Kicks. Of course it enters the chorus as we arrive, the kid looks up at us, an inconspicuous Colt M1911 in his hand. Even if he has killed two, and has obviously broke, I will never say that people can’t change. Motioning to my friends to get behind me, I try to reason with him, “Please, just put the gun down, no one will judge you if you stop. Your honer and life can be saved here.” He starts to laugh/cry harder, “I must commend you for trying to stop me with words, I’m afraid others wouldn’t do the same. But, you have lied, I did reaserch on this of corse. I would be in prison for way to long, that is unacceptable.” “Well, I can’t say your wrong, and I will say the reasoning is understandable, but still, I would imagine you have taken down the worst on your list first, so stop and let the innocent live!” “Still determined huh? I feel we might have been friends, maybe we have before and have forgotten. But that’s beside the point, you aren’t wrong about me taking out the worst first. But you’re wrong about innocents. All those who stood by and watched, never brave enough to step in. Those are the real cause, to see me suffer and do nothing! The one where he fails his classes and is clearly depressed, but NO! He’s just an attention whore! He’s just a fake, he must be a retard, he must just be goofing off, he must be a privileged little white kid! There is no one who accepted the facts! Turned away by family, friends, guidance counselors and teachers! Now do you see! No one is innocent here! I’m only here because I decided that I may as well take down the fucking shitmonkeys in the middle of my suicide attempt.” He was slowly walking foreward as he ranted, becoming more lucid as he went on. I was holding back tears, because now I knew the depth of his torture. “Here mate, I have an offer to make. I will not let you kill anyone else, just because they were cowards and idiots does not justify death. But, I can kill you, just like that. If you truely want to die, than allow me to give you the most honorable execution I can.” I say, finally making my claim. “No... no. If I an to go out I will take the satisfaction of killing my killer!” He shouts back. “I’m sorry.” I say before I spring into action. Instently he fires off a shot, I get hit through the shoulder but shrug it off with the pure power of adrenaline. He fires a few more, hitting me twice before I reach him. I punch him in the face, to stagger him, before I push him over and mount him. I start punching, and receive a few myself, this exchange goes on for a minute before his face is pulped enough he looks like orange juice. Thincking him dead or unconscious, I get off to retrieve the gun in his hand. *BANG* he had enough energy to shoot one more time, right through the lung. I collapse and realize how I wouldnt make it out alive, lung punctured and already delirious of blood loss. I barely make out my friends putting him to eternal rest through my cracked glasses. They come over to me, “Kendrick, the police are here, they are commending you for your bravery.” “Haha,” I rasp, “That was not bravery, that was honer.” I turn specifically to my friends, “At least I got an actual fight. I’m going to die, it’s that simple-“ I am interrupted by my friend, “Don’t say that, you’ll live, you have to.” “Mate, I’m bleeding from multiple gunshots, have a punctured lung, and I’m only a senior.” I say with a smile, “Great way to go really, me protecting those who need it.” My other 3 friends come up to me, “Good, all are here. Better this than the prison execution I thought I would get.” We all share a small sorrowful laugh, “I want my funeral at night. And there is one thing I want you to put on my grave.” “What?” They all ask. Shot through the lung! And your too late! I give bronies, a new name!” Always the type for a reference, they laugh with me, until my last breath comes, and I die with a smile on my face. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Plane of unknown I find myself in a blue colored abyss, before I land on the floor. “Guess this is an afterlife? Cool.” “Not exactly.” Replayed someone as they appear, looking like a blue, cystiline female like figure who looks like she steeped out of Elder Scrolls. “Who are you? A god?” “Yes, kinda, I could be considered a god if you wish. But I prefer to be called a concept with powers. As for who I am, brave Kendrick, is simple. I am Karma, and are here to reward your good karma at the end. Trying to talk even though you know it won’t work, then fighting for others behalf, all the while doing it for the killer. You are a shining beacon of karma in your world, like the sun on a cloudy day.” “I’m nothing special really, but I’ll take a reward, Sure.” “Even in death, you are humble. For a reward, you will be givin another life. This land called Equestria, sound familier?” “Yes, I recognize that from MLP. Are you saying you will send me there?” “Yes, that is where you will be sent. But it is diffint than what you know. And for this you shall get powers from different media you enjoyed for the more good deeds done.” “So for the good I do I get more superpowers? What do I get first!?” “I’m quite happy to see you this enthusastic. You shall be givin the greatest from the start. One, a Pip Boy from your Fallout games, for inventory management and instant equipping. Second, all the characters you created in the Dark Souls series will be fused and powers givin to you.” I instantly start bowing, “I cannot thank you enough for this chance my fair lady Karma.” “Oh, get up. I hate being treated like I’m above people.” I follow her instructions and stand, “You will be able to thank me by preforming good deeds and delivering justice. Now go! Justice shall be delivered by you, brave Kendrick!” “Good bye!” I yell as she sends me away. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— I land in a clearing (more like a crater) in what I presume the Everfree. I have on a full Mirror Knight armor set, have my trusty strength and health build Lightning Lost Sinners Sword +5 on my back, a dagger from my assasin endurance and poise build, a staff and all the sorcery’s I would ever need on my back, and a Ughikatana +15 from my DS1 run, with dexterity and not much else. A Pip Boy on my wrist shows me having 99+ of every item, and my armor feels like it weighs almost nothing, but I equip some random cloths that were on my Pip Boy anyway. Standing up I hear a scream in the distance, either manticore or Timberwolves attacking a foal. I grin like a mad man and try to say ‘bring it on’ but I can’t speak for some reason. So instead I shall thinkBRING IT ON! Author's Note New story, because I kept having good story ideas. Power GrowsKarmic deeds! DONE DIRT CHEAP! I find myself running to the source of the screams, and arrive 10 seconds after my mad dash. Finding an edge to a clearing, I instinctively reach up to push my glasses up my nose. I find however, that I have no glasses, and that my vision is perfect without (thanks karma). With that out of the way, I peer into the clearing. Timberwolves, of course it’s them (this is almost sounding like an old fanfic I use to read). They are cornering a greyish purple unicorn against a tree, and I plan to stop this. Knowing what I do from wolves, if I intimidate them as to where they realize that the causualtys won’t be worth it they won’t attack (Don’t Timberwolves regenerate though?). I decide to put this to the test, and use terror tactics, looking through my Pip Boy, I equip the Mirror Knight armor (the heads will freak them out) the Ughikatana (sharp, fast, and will tear through them with style) and, the most important part, a pyromany hand to cast immolation (the image of a man on fire will freakout the consructs of wood and leaf). Two handing the katana, I walk out, shiny silver of the faces reflecting off my helmet. The Timberwolves recognize this imminent threat, and face me, cowering at first, but standing fast as the alpha strategists. As the Timberwolves surround me, and I spin to always face the alpha, the filly cowers against the tree more but watches in badly contained fear. Over witch party, I know not, but I was still there to protect. Without warning, the four wolves spring into attack. Dealing with the alpha first, but still realizing there was one leaping to me from behind, I stick my sword through the alphas mouth as I duck, this causes the one leaping from behind to miss and cut open his underbelly from the sword sticking out the top of his comrades mouth. Those two delt with, I backstep, anticipating a low attack from the right, and swing my sword that way as I do it, cutting the top of the wolves head off. Turning to the last one to my left, I dodge a hevely telegraphed attack and decapitate him. Thinking the fight is over, and how stupidly suicidle those wolves were, I turn to the filly and sheath my katana as immolation runs out. There is one expression on her face. Fear. Unadulterated fear. Weird thing is, she was looking behind me? Oh, fuck, Timberwolves regenerate into a bigger one when defeated, the deep growl behind me confirms this. Realizing that the big one would be salty from its loss, and too damaged to afford another fight, it would be jumping for its prey, the filly! Diving right to her, and pushing her out of the way, I get her to safety seconds before the big one. I have no time to prepare as I feel it land on me, and start biteing, getting me into its mouth. I wouldn’t die anytime soon, but I was still in danger and couldn’t escape. Contemplating how to escape, I see everything pause as a video game like message appears in the center of my vision. +1 karma! You sacrificed yourself for a stranger! Karmatic energy rushes through you as a power unlocks! You gained Firery Breath! Instantly realizing the name, I try to use the Thu’m of fire. Yol Toor Shul! The inside of the wolf instantly starts to catch on fire and burn til all that was left was me standing in a pile of ash, fire not burning the surrounding area. Comeing over the adrenaline of that fight and close call kill, I realize how powerful and scary I was. To make sure not to scare the filly, I take off the armor and put on my school clothes instead. I walk and kneel in front of her, opening her eyes, since they were closed in fear when I jumped in her way, I make sure she sees me there and the pile of ash behind me. (Looks like I’m not the Ashen One, haha.) “Wow! You saved me! Thank you Mister Human!” Wait, she knows what a human is? Interesting, “You look like you belong to some noble pony with your clothes and fancy tricks.” Own!? This makes Karma’s words make more sense, I probably will need power if i am in a world where I’m a slave. What happend to Love and Tolerate? “Follow me Mister Human, my mother can find you your owner as reward.” She starts to skip away. Well might as well play along to hopefully understand how humans are slaves. “Oh! I forgot!” She says turning around on a dime, “I’m Dinky Doo! I got into that situation back there when I wasn’t looking where I was going. Oh, I’m also tired, can you carry me?” She talks a mile a gram, good thing I am a master of talking a light year a mililieter, so we are kindred spirits of speed and randomness. I do decide to carry her (she’s just a kid after all, and went through a dangerous situation) and the weirdness grows. A horse riding a human! It’s unnatural! Luckily for me, and her, no incednts happen on the path back, and Dinky falls asleep to my rhythmic steady gait. When we break the forest boundary and see daylight (looks like it’s about 3) her eyes flutter open, “Oh, were here! Allow me to lead you home Mister Human!” She says as she jumps off my back, only my near unlimited poise allows me to walk without a single stagger. We got a lot of weird looks, from human and pony alike, of this dynamic duo. I study the human/pony interactions, and come to a simple conclusion, humans aren’t slaves they’re animals. The look in the eyes of them suggests a lack of higher thought (i was going to be a biologist, so trust me) and the appearance looks more like a Neanderthal than a proper human. However, I did catch the eyes of one who was different, but he was pulled away before I could conclude anything. Looked like he was being led by a purple pony to a... train station? Either way, I need to follow Dinky. Eventually we come to a cottage on the edge of town, Dinky walks up and opens the door, “MOM!” She shouts, “Yes my little muffin?” Reply’s a grey pegasus with a blond mane and her eyes... wait, pegasus, blond mane, derped eyes, muffin? It’s Derpy! How could I forget Dinky was the daughter of Derpy!? Good thing there’s no internet here. “When I went out today I was attacked by Timberwolves, but this’ll human saved me!” “Oh no!” Derpy yells as she quickly hugs her daughter, “are you alright?” “Yes mom, as I said Mr.Human here saved me!” Dinky explains as she points to me. “I brought him with me so we might find his owner.” “Yes, it would only be our service to return the human who saved you to his owner.” Derpy says, “But we don’t have enough room for him. Maybe the Doctor will house him as we search.” Guess the mother has made her desicon, onto wherever this ‘Doctor’ lives. Turns out it was a two minute walk, to yet another building on the edge of town. It had a sign out front ‘clock store’. Y’know I was always good with clocks and watches, making minimum changes basically, I’d be able to help here. Derpy opens the store and yells out into it, “Doctor? Are you here?” “Yes, Yes, right here!” Says an almost familier voice, “What can good old Doctor Whooves do for you, my dear.” A stallion with a brown coat, and a distinct mane style says, popping around the corner, I’m able to see a hourglass cutie mark. Device of time, that mane, that voice, they all sound so familiar! Not from an MLP charichter persay, but still too familiar. Wait... store and mark about time, the voice... AHA! Ten/Eleven (old debate, don’t care about it) best Doctor! TARDIS, time, looks like David Tennet, it has to be the Doctor! Doctor Who! “Well you see Doctor, this human saved Dinky from Timberwolves, can you keep him until we find his owner.” Derpy says. The Doctor then looks at me, eyes slowly opening in surprise as he gets to my eyes. “Well, if he saved Dinky then sure, I’ll house him.” Derpy then hugs him, “Thanks so much Doctor, I got to go make sure Dinky hasn’t caused a mess. Bye.” She says as she’s leaving. “Yes, bye.” The Doctor says, closing the door. Turning to me He says one simple thing, “Tell me how you got here. Be honest.” He places a hoof on my shoulder, “Trust me, I’m The Doctor.” Author's Note Boom! The Doctors In! HelloKarmic Lucid Dreams, YAY! i’m The Doctor there, all done. After making it clear I couldn’t talk (non dragon anyway) to The Doctor, he asked me to write it down. It has taken a whole hour to make sure my writing was legible, but it had to be done. “School shootings, Karma, powers from Dark Souls? You sure you didn’t hallucinate this during a mid dimension jump?” The Doctor askes, making sure it was true. I nod my head, and he says, “Well, I will believe you, still more believeable than when I woke up in this world, but could I ask for a demonstration? Preferably of that power you defeated the Timberwolf with.” Nodding, I turn to an unoccupied spot in the room, hoping fire breath will work like it does in the games and not continue burning. Yol Toor Shul! As expected the spout of fire hits the wall, freaking out The Doctor, “What the bloody hell! Your going to burn this place down!” I calmly point to where I shouted, showing him that the wood was unharmed, didn’t even have burn marks. “Well, turns out what you said is true! I must say, it will be marvelous to have someone understand all the history! You can help me build things as well! I must say, trying to build modern human technology by yourself is difficult, especially when I can’t use the TARDIS yet.” Quickly I write down ‘what do you mean you can’t use it yet?’ Reading the paper the Doctor respondes, “Well, this is a point in time which is in flux all the time. The very time energy feels chaotic, and the TARDIS would be in danger should I try to fly her in this ‘weather’. Wait, how did you know what the TARDIS was?” Hastily I write down about how his adventures were a t.v show back home, and how I watched it. “A show on the Telly? Someone must be transmitting my adventures to someone in your world. Strange, say, what does it show about this?” I write down about how the Tenth going into a world like this is never used. “Very peculer, but I have time to think about this later. Come, I will show you where you can sleep. Fair warning, I was not expecting a visitor, so accommodations won’t be the best.” He explains leading me to a smallish bed. “Good night Kendrick, we have much to discuss tomorrow.” He leaves me then and walks down the hall as I fall asleep. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Dream Relm. I find myself just in a void befor it turns blue and Karma steps out. “Kendrick our time is short. You now are a lucid dreamer, glad to see you settle in, and expect a visitor. OK, bye!” She says within 15 seconds, not even pausing for breath. So, lucid dreaming and a visitor eh? I think I know who that visitor is. Let’s get this dream as weird as possible. *1 minute later* When Luna stepped into my dreamscape, probably wondering what new creature was having a dream, this is what she saw. Me and every class from TF2 dancing to Pumped Up Kicks in the middle of a school shooting where Trump and Pepe the Frog were shooting Shreks at running Hillery’s, all the while this little room where we are is orbiting Earth with a ton of Sheogoraths and Loki’s drincking tea as they discussed the meaning of life and the universe. Luckily I could talk in my dream, and also luckily Luna landed in the dance party. “Ah, Good! I was expecting a visitor!” I say as I stop everything around me, “How are you this lovely night, dreamwalker?” “Who are you who could come up with such madness?” Luna says with surprise and worry. “Me? Oh I’m just a good ol’ human who spent to much time on the Internet.” I state back with infinite calm. “Human? But you are talking! Humans are not intelligent and can’t dream, now show us your true form creature!” Luna shouts at me. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Who here is the one invading privacy? That’s you. Now why should I awnser someone who has breached my mind, the ultimate crime, and who is being rude to her host? Shame on you.” I retort. “You do not know who you talk to creature. We are Princess Luna of Dreams, and you would do well to awnser me and give into my demands. If you dont then I will force you to for the protection of my ponies.” Luna replys with fury. “You know, your starting to remind me of somebody... oh yes! I remember who. Please princess, let me show you who I remember.” I say as I change my surroundings to that of a Consentration Camp, next to a Gas Chamber executing its next batch of victims. “What type of horror is this?!” “That my dear Luna, are the SS, who killed to ‘protect’ the people.” I say as I watch her expression change from disgust, to pure anger. “These, SS, where are they?” She askes, clentching her hand. “Why, they’re allready dead. Been dead for a long time, but such is humanity.” “Such images, not even the most twisted of minds could create this. It is clear this must be real, but no recollection of humans being able to do such things can come to my mind.” “Because,” I say, face grinning, “we weren’t animals, unlike they are here. I’m an anomaly who dosnt belong. Now, how about we drop that, and do something more fun?” “Fun you say? Fine, was not a busy night anyway.” And so I spent the rest of the night teaching Luna about video games. TurnerIsn’t Murphy’s Law basically Karma? Unsurprisingly, I woke up earlier than the Doctor. Even though I can dream lucidly, my natural clock still makes me wake up at 6:30. I blame High School. Might as well make breakfast just Incase, hope the Doctor has eggs. *five minutes later* Just a touch of mayonnaise, salt and pepper, stir around as even as possible... done! And there’s the Doctor coming down the stairs. “Kendrick! What are you doing! Ponies could see you!” Hmm, didn’t think about that. Wait... it’s 6:35, we’re like the only two awake at this ungodly hour. I’m gonna respond with that. “Hmm... yes I suppose that’s true. But still, be more careful. Now, let’s eat!” We sit down and start devouring the gigantic mound of eggs I made. “Quite good, not the best, but still very good for one of your age.” ‘Thank you.’ I write down in response. “Your welcome. Usually I have to cook, and that is... worse. Anyway! I will have to get you a collar and some protein pills. We have to uphold apprences and there is no meat eating.” I nod in understanding. Walking out the door he says, “Now take a nap or something until I come back. Bye!” I decide to take his advice to take a nap. As I settle down, not paying attention to anything else, I start to think. Maybe I can be happy- CLUNCK! ******************************************************************************************************* Unknown time later, location unknown. Fuck! My head! What happened! Oh no, I was thinking happy thoughts about the future! MURPHY WHY?! Well, time to acces the situation. Opening my eyes, I find myself in a cage hanging above a pit/arena. Inside the arena I can see two humans, the different one from yesterday, and one holding a shiv. Comeon Outlier, beat him! It’s obvious these are fighting pits, and I’m a fighter. Oh, looks like Outlier just took a massive hit! Wait, Outlier’s got the shiv, and there goes the animals neck. He knows how to apply a weapon to a weak spot, not a fighter, but definitely intelligent like me. Oh, looks like I’m moving forward into the pit now. “Let’s bring out the next competitor! The savior of one Dinky Doo from a Timberwolf pack, and a sure savage, bring him out!” Ohh! Must be talking about me, the flattery is appreciated guys! Now the floor drops, I land and try to show peace. I hit the ground hard, dosnt matter, and look the Outlier in the eyes. He looks back, and I raise my hands like the French. He seems to understand this, and looks very surprised by it, but nods his head and starts walking towards me. I do the same. When we meet in the middle, I hold out my hand in a sign of an alliance. He reaches out and shakes it, accepting my offer. Now, a shiv just doesn’t seem right, but I don’t have any weapons he could use. Oh well, I’ll just put on my Mirror Knight armor and prepare my katana. At my suddenly appearing weapons and armor, Outlier jumps back, until he realizes what I’m doing. Probably writes it off as magic. “Ohhoho! What have we here! Looks like the fighters are allies! And one has armor and a weapon! This should be worth your money! Onto the duo fights! Bring out the competitors!” Two humans appear, weilding clubs and looking similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger. The both of us intelligents look at each other and nod, accepting our fate of fighting. Together we charge. ******************************************************************************************************* Several fights later. Killing the twentieth human they sent against us, I take note of our two health’s. I was bruised and batterd, armor almost painted red, unable to use Estus Flasks or Lifegems, I was as damaged as ever. My friend the Outlier, was bleeding from so many wounds it wasn’t even funny, I am surprised he could still stand. “Now for the grand finaley! Our new champions, the Mirrored Death, shall go against our two strongest humans left! Bring out the Tanks!” The crowd erupts into applause as two cages open. Holy shit... Bill, Louis, Francis, grant me your strength. For, across the arena, are two hulking monsters that put one message in my head. TANK! TANK! FUCKING TANK! Me and Outlier look at each other, both of us seemingly recognizing these behemoths from Left4Dead. Not one but two are what we have to face. Wanting to protect Outlier, being as damaged as he is, I charge first at the tanks. I get to one as the other goes to Outlier, and I slice at his arm with the katana, +15 and everything, and it gets lodged into his arm. Before I can even process the fact that a +15 katana was lodged in a things arm, I am punched away, flying across the arena. This motherfucker just took my katana into his arm! I pull out my staff. This man right here is about to receive the biggest Soul Spear attack ever! He slowly limps to me on one arm as I charge up my attack. When he gets close enough to where he could hit me if he jumped, I fire, mixing in my shout as well. My katana just gets returned to my inventory as the tank goes flying, body torn in two. Hahahahhahahahahhhahhahahh! Take that motherfucker! I turn to find Outlier pinned with the tank pressing down on him. I take out my katana again and rush to help, oblivious to the sounds of battle from the crowd. I arrive, but I do not save him, by the time I arrive a beam out of nowhere hits the tank. The body can’t even fly because the entire thing is now ash. Looking down at Outlier, I want to see the damage. Oh... no... his eye! I must try to help him! I take out a chime filled with the only miracle I ever learned in Dark Souls, Heal, and start to use it right over him. Golden circle, kneeled down, look up, and finally- ouch! Why is there a dart in me? Wait, why am I becoming tired? What’s happening... +1 Karma! You made peace and helped a stranger at the risk of your life! With negotiations and peace down, your body feels a new part of it unlock! You can now speak! Author's Note My posting time, SparkleKarmatic truth. “Doctor...?” Wait, was that my voice? Wait, what happened, i was knocked out, so where am i? Opening my eyes I see the Doctor in the doorway looking quite shocked, “Well Kendrick, I didn’t expect that. Be glad it’s only me.” “I can speak now, apparently. Wait, why am I not in a hospital?” I say my first sentence in this world. “Ah, I joined the guards on the raid to see if I could find you, and I did. About to strike down that Apple monstrosity from attacking your friend, good job by the way, and when you started doing... whatever you were doing on the chimes above your friend the guards tranquilized you. What were you doing anyway?” “I was going to heal him with that. How is Outlier anyway, last time I saw him he wasn’t in the best condition? And you didn’t awnser me.” “Outlier? Is that what you call him? His real names Max, the new human of Princess Twilight. And for your hospital question, you only had bruises, nothing major happened to you. Although they did say you would need a bit of bed rest.” “Screw bed rest, I’ll just down an Estus.” I say as I pull out said green flask. “Estus? What’s Estus?” He says as I take a sip. “This.” Oh, wow that’s good! Feels like I just took a 50 hour energy. “Wow! First time I did that, feels wonderful!” “Oh, Okay whatever. Oh yeah, when we took your armor off it dissolved.” “Oh, no need to worry, it just jumped back into my inventory.” We hear knocking on the door. “I’ll get that, follow if you wish.” He says as he starts walking. I follow. “Ahh Derpy! What is it your here for?” I walk into the sight of the door, “Oh it’s about him actually. We searched and searched but couldn’t find any noble missing a human of his description. Wait... are there any brands on him?” “Haven’t checked, but with the amount of cloaths he wears it would be printed on there.” “Oh, Okay. So... what happens to him now?” “I’ve taken a likening to him, might as well keep him.” “Okay Doctor. Got to go pick up Dinky now, be safe!” “Goodbye to you to my dear.” He says as he closes the door. “I ship it.” I say as he turns to me, “You match together so perfect, I think I might just set you up.” His face turns red, “OI! I’ll have you do no such thing! I don’t need some ‘wingman’ even if I wanted to do that!” “Ohho, get the century old Timelord to blush? I know I have to see it now, your perfect for each other!” knock, knock. The Doctor fixes me with a ‘this is not over’ glare I received on a daily basis by friends. Opening the door we can see the purple alicorn, probably this Twilight I’ve heard about, and my intelligent friend Max right behind her, missing... an eye... dang. “Ah, hello Princess Twilight, how may I help you?” The female voice responds back, “Don’t call me princess please. Are you the owner of the human who fought with Max in the fighting pits?” “Yes, of corse I am! Kendrick’s right here.” Doctor says, pointing at me. Turning to Max Twilight says, “Is this him?” The human nods in confirmation. “He’s intelligent?” “Yes He is Doctor, and I think he’s not the only one here.” Twilight accuses. Looking deadpan the Doctor simply says, “How about we chat over tea instead of in the streets?” Inviting them inside. “Of corse, thank you Doctor.” She says as the Doctor sets out four tea cups with a pot in the middle. “Come, come, everyone sit.” And so all four of us do so. “Now Doctor, Kendrick here is intelligent like Max, right?” Not wanting to stay mute for much longer, I simply say, “Yes, I am as intelligent as any of you.” Everyone looks shocked or surprised as Max makes some symbols with his hands that look like sign language, “Max here says you only communicated non-verbally in the arena, why do you talk now?” “Because through the karma gained in that fight I was able to unlock speaking.” “Well, that’s... strange. But let’s continue on.” And so we had a long discussion telling our separate tales of how we got here to Equestria. My school shooting story got me a look of sympathy from everyone, especially Max, who looked like a college age student. Eventually we decide I should teach Max how to defend himself, and that I should come along on all excursions to act as a friend, bodyguard, and teacher for Max. Karma +1! You have finally come clean with your intelligents! From now on you can summon a random orc from Shadow Of War to protect you from those who would wish to claim a special prize. Forging a PathNo Karma, just Tanks. Knock, Knock, Knock. Why is it always knocking that signifys the start to a weird day? Only been here for a week and trends already are starting up, well, maybe it will give me something to do considering I’m not training Max today. “Ah, hello Dinky!” The Doctor says as he opens the door. “Hello Doctor! I need some help.” Oh, help is it? Such a sweet and innocent child, I think I could help. “Oh? And what is it that you wish for me to help with?” Ahh, the Doctor, always helping. “Well, the Applewood Derby is next week, and I was wondering if you could help build, and be my driver?” “Why, of corse I will! But what about your mother, shouldn’t she help you?” “Well, no offense to her of course, but her corridination wouldn’t be good for driving and building. I asked permission!” “Well, I’m pretty sure me and my assistant can build one for you, if that is what you wish.” Assistant, nickname givin to me by the Doctor, and I quite like it. “Thank You Doctor!” “My pleasure dear Dinky, now run along and go play as we get to work.” Dinky does so, as the Doctor closes the door. “Well, I think a regular cart would be boring, right Kendrick? How about we create a bear of industry?” I hope he’s thinking what I’m thinking. “T-34?” I ask hopefully. “T-34.” He says back as I start jumping for joy. “I have plenty of metal to build it, so let’s start.” The Doctor says. *Music starts playing.* “In this small town I think we’re the smartest here.” “Of our intellect many will fear.” “So let’s start building history’s best” “This one tank better than the rest.” “Let’s start some industry!” “Us two smartest, you and me!” “This is a mark on history!” “Bring the metal, that’s the key!” “Our cart shall be the best!” “All others shall fear our quest!” “So let’s join together you and me!” “Create our mark on history!” “We shall sieze the means of production!” “Stop the worlds corruption!” “I’m the Stalin, you the Lenin.” “Revolution, referendum!” “Together we shall send them...” “Back In History! “We’re the Soviets you and me!” “Become captains of industry!” “Ohh! The cannon, that’s the key!” “We’re the smartest you and me!” “This is a mark on history!” “Our cart will be the best!” “All others will fear our quest!” “So let’s join together you and me!” *music ends.* “Well,” the Doctor says first, “first time song magic has effected me in such a strong way.” “It’s been three days. Why were we singing? Why did time speed up for us?” “Song magic, and unknown.” “Right, I’m going to sleep, wake me up when we drive that thing.” “Okay.” *few days later.* “Oi!” The Doctor says, poking me, “It’s time to drive it!” “Really! Ohmigash!” I say jumping out of bed. “We have about half an hour until we have to arrive. Let’s go!” “Remember to bring the fireworks to fire out the cannon, and we need to stop by Dinky’s to pick her up.” “Gotta say, the hammer and sickle you added makes this look great.” The Doctor says as we climb into the first tank ever. “Is Max gonna be there?” I ask, wanting to see his face. We start driving. “I think he will be. He is going to love this!!” The Doctor says maniacally as he drives with perfect coordination. I start laughing insanely and the Doctor joins in. Then we arrive at Dinky’s house, really Derpy’s but whatever. “Let’s invite those two in for a drive my good assistant.” He says as we hop out the top of the tank, seeing the awed faces of ponies staring at our tank. Knocking at the door three times, the Doctor and I wait for Dinky and Derpy. When they eventually open the door, the Doctor gets a morbidly sarcastic smile, pointing at the tank saying, “Your ride has arrived ladies.” “It’s so cool!” Dinky says as she tries to get in, needing help from me, “What is it?” She askes as we all get in. “This my dear friends is a tank. A Soviet design called a T-34.” Piping up Derpy askes, “Why build this ‘tank’ instead of a cart?” “Ah,” the Doctor says, feeling a lecture coming up, “two reasons. One, this can accelerate by itself without aid of magic, unlike carts, and is a lot faster a lot quicker. Right now my assistant is keeping it at a cool, slow, 30 KMPH, still faster than a lot of carts. Two, the cannon,” He says pointing to the said cannon, “can shoot off fireworks, or tank shells. With armor this thick, and a cannon on the front, this is the perfect war tool.” “Oh,” both mother and daughter say at once, “Okay.” I tap the Doctor on the shoulder as the others look away to study the inside. “I want to be out the top of the roof like an old propaganda poster.” “Okay, do that, I’ll take over driving.” He turns to the others as I climb to the hatch, “we have a switch of drivers.” I put the hatch up and see we are near the school. I climb back down and load the cannon with some fireworks for an entrance. The Doctor sees this and says, “Dinky allow my assistant to do as we’ve practiced to make the entrance even better.” She complies and walks up to me as I fire off the fireworks, and climb the ladder with her in my arms. I open the hatch, hold her up soft but firm, and point forward over the hill we were emerging from, fireworks lighting up the sky. https://goo.gl/images/KkoAPf Everyone gawks at us as we arrive just in time to hear the ‘start in one minute’ whistle. We stop at the start line and prepare. *5 minutes later* We won, the Doctor got asked a ton about what the T-34 was, Dinky got most Modern and Fastest award, me and Max shared a laugh. Overall a very good day, I even got a tank out of it. +1 Karma! You used your craftsmanship to help a child in need look cool! You can feel the spirit of the craftsmanship as you gain a new ‘limb’! You can now use Celebrimbor’s hammer! Author's Note Note, bold means they are singing together. A Final PlanLetting the... human out of the.., crate? “We got something to do today Kendrick!” The Doctor says after talking to Twilight. “And what would that be Doctor?” I say, looking up from my book. “Two things. One, Twilights friends know Max is intelligent. Seem they were good with it, maybe we could reveal you today.” “And what is today?” “Camping! Twilight has invented us on a camping trip, I thought it would be fun, and you can train Max. And with us secluded in the woods without anyone watching, we can reveal you safely.” “Alright, I’m good with all parts of that plan. But I want to do it in my own ‘special’ way.” I say getting up to pack. The Doctor stands there for a second before saying, “I haven’t thanked you yet.” Still packing I say, “For what? Draining your reasorces? Getting you into trouble?” “No, Kendrick, you act like you haven’t done anything. You’ve made this Ring for me, as a show of friendship, you gave me a chance to know Twilight, and so far we seem to be good friends. You’ve made me more money than you’ve drained, and givin me a bargaining chip with royalty! But that’s not the most important, you may help, you may be useful, but that’s not what matters to me, you said there was a show on the Telly about me, that you watched, you should know why I like you!” “Act like i don’t know. Tell me.” I say, packing up the rest before sipping up the backpack we were using. “You are the one person here for me to talk to! I would’ve gone insane had you not shone up, having no one to talk to, it’s terrifying.” “Yes... that’s why the Pandorica was used.” I say, remembering the Doctors struggle. Wait, that was the next Doctor... shit. “What do you mean the Pandorica was used? It’s a fairytale!” “Are you not the one who says anything was possible?” “That does not awnser my Question.” “Well, the show went beyond 10, into your next regeneration.” “So... you’ve seen Eleven. Huh, knew the universe would at least keep a copy. But that doesn’t matter, I wasn’t finished! Now, as I was saying, you are also another Mad Man for me to talk, and bounce ideas off of as I receive the same.” “So, you truely care for me?” I ask, not believing a minor hero of mine could say such. “I’ve had many companions, many partners, many friends, you Kendrick, you are in the top ten. Low, Yes, but mainly because we haven’t been able to use the TARDIS.” I can’t believe it. The Doctor, a hero I’ve had most my life, saying I’m his friend, “Thank you Doctor, you don’t know how much that means to me.” “Now,” the Doctor says after about a minute, “enough emotional talk, let’s go camping!” *3 hours later.* We stop in a clearing to set up camp, making good time. Max and I put down Rarity and Pinkie Pie respectively. Our stamina and endurance almost limitless because of the Rings, same with Twilight and the Doctor, Applejack, Rainbow, And Fluttershy were able to walk that distance without rest. “Thank you Max for carrying me.” “How much suger did you digest to walk like that Kendrick?” I can’t respond, want to keep the surprise. The Doctor motions me over asking when I will reveal myself. “When the fire is set up, you’ll know what to do.” He shrugs in response. *few hours later* It’s dusk, nearing night, when we decide to build a fire. Applejack brings over a pitiful stack of sticks for a fire. I see this as the perfect moment, and put a thumbs up to the Doctor, “Hold Up Applejack. Think Kendrick wants to do something.” And do something I shall, I go over to a tree a make sure everyone is watching. I punch down the tree, leaving naught but a stump that grows back instantly with the power of the One Ring. I then chop up the tree into logs to build a bonfire. I put them all in the fire pit as everyone gawks at me. Turning around I say in a booming tone, “Ladies and Gentlemen! Creatures of all ages! Prepare to see something wonderful!” Turning back to the bonfire, I light it in the best way possible, Yol Toor Shul! With the One Ring aiding me, the fire that comes out of my mouth is hotter than even dragon fire of Alduin. As soon as the fire touches the logs, they are on fire. I turn around and bow in an overly theatrical style, “Don’t hold your applause, I know I was great.” Twilight turns to the Doctor, “Well, I guess that’s a way to say he’s intelligent. Was this your plan?” “Nope, he decided to do this on his own.” Pinkie Pie bursts out with applause as Applejack says, “Well, two intelligent humans in one week! That has to be some record.” And so on an so forth, average stuff really. Awnsering questions from the ponies, and shutting up Pinkie. There are a few parts that stood out, for example is when Rarity pointed out the Rings. “I can’t help but notice how only those who knew about you has these rings. And yours looks different than the rest.” I was starting to sweat by now, “And in the newspaper it said that a note came with the Rings givin to the world leaders, and it was missing four, the three to friends, and the one to the creator. Would this happen to be you?” I give her a round of applause, “Well done, Rarity, should’ve known you would spot that! Yes, you’re correct, I was the one who forged the Rings of Power.” After considering this Rairity says, “Well, could you make some for the rest of us? I would love to have a ring like that, and it could help in life threatening situations!” “Well, sadly, no. To put it simply, there can only be a set amount of Rings of Power. And they all have to be forged at once, with one exception, but that can’t happen, so don’t ask. Also, I made these so they could only come off when the limb they’re on is cut off, or the host dead.” “Oh... okay.” And when we finally went to sleep, I got to use a new power before everyone turned in. I summoned a captain. I CAN’T FEEL IT! “Oh god no!” I yell as an Olag-Hai comes over a hill. Pinkie moves to meet him. “Hi! Who’re you? Are you happy?” ”I CAN’T FEEL IT!” “Oh, well I’ll have to work on fixing that. Bye bye!” “Olag!” I yell out and he comes to me. “Are you feeling it now Mr.Krabs?” ”I CAN’T FEEL IT!” Me and Max start laughing our asses off, the Doctor even joins in when he remembered where that refence was from. Recovering I order, “Gaurd us as we sleep.” He gets up and starts patrolling, but not before he shouts. ”I CAN’T FEEL IT!” Great, now I have this guy as a permanent bodyguard. Fuck my life. Author's Note I CAN’T FEEL IT! A Final ExecutionThe time the mind took over “Hello there Luna! Ready to go on an adventure never before seen?” I ask Luna as she drops into my Dreamrelm (for relaxation and video games) “Throw whatever you can at me! MemeMoon_8 shall survive!” Luna shouts excitedly back, always enjoying this. She has even mastered modern day launguge, though Celestia did suspect something else (love) it was not any of that... I think. “Tell me Kendrick, what shall we play today?” “Well, you want creepy horror?” I ask. “Please, after all those war videos you’ve shown me, try your best and prepare to fail.” Luna says overconfidently. “Fine, I shall do one thing. Mind, take over my dream!” I say shouting up. “Ohh, This should be interesting. Ready when you are ‘Chemtest’” “Then let’s go M@M.” M@M is my shortened version of her name. Meme, Moon, M@M, see? Then we are dropped in a room, dark, smells of lemons, and has two tables, each with two weapons on it. Luna walks towards a table that has a M1M4 and a Degle from CS:GO, and I walk towards the table that has a katana and a MP40, thing of my dreams, literally! Luna and I look towards each other and nod, reaching for our automatic weapons first. As soon as I touched the MP40 I was thrown into a vision. The person I was seeing it as was having all his organs cut out and drilled his teeth all the while showing it on a camera in front of him. I snap out of it, and see Luna in a similar state, “Maybe that was a unique thing to those weapons?” Luna says. We grab our second weapons and the same thing happens. This time I was a surgeon who was moving in beat to a jaunty and happy music as I drilled through another mans ear, Yes the eardrum, not the cartalidge. The screams of the one below me didn’t matter, the happy tune kept me going. This time Luna turns to me and says, “Maybe we can put this off.” “Yeah, probably.” Outside my Dreamrelm I hear ”I CANT FEEL IT!” “Ah, that’s my que to go, goodbye Luna, see you tomorrow!” “Same to you Kendrick!” Author's Note Sorry I couldn’t write, I was sick. Still recovering a bit. Here’s a dream I had as I was sick though. Grey ShinesDid somebody ring? ”I can’t feel it!” I spring out of my bed, and quickly zip my way out of the tent I rested in, “Shit, Olag, you better not be fucking up this early in the morning!” I burst out into the campsite, only to have my armor be coated in a thin paint of blood, “Fuck, I just washed this!” I look up to see what the blood is from. What I see is a chimera being torn apart by an Olag. Painless grabs the snake’s head, and rips it off. He uses this same head’s neck to choke out the tiger head. Then, he hits their leg with his mace, and tears off the leg, ”I can’t feel it!” He brings the leg down. *Oof!* He raises it up again. *Oof!* He hits the last head a third time, smashing it in. His green skin is turned red by his prey, and my fucking armor is coated! He holds the mace up in celebration, and laughs, ”I can’t feel it!” I walk up to him, unequiping and re-equipping my armor to clean it. I finally stand at the chimera’s corpse, “Well, I guess you protected us.” I look up at him, “Good job!” He gets a dumb smile on his face, ”I can’t feel it!” I pat him on the leg, “Go ahead and take the rest of the day off. Your already level thirty, and I don’t think I will need you. Hopefully.” He nods, and fades away. I wonder where they go when that happens? Anyway, I have a body to deal with. Upon thinking, I decide one blast of Yol should turn this all to ash. ”YOL, TOOR, SHUL!” Yep, turned to ash. And most of the blood is gone as well! Karma up! You protected the ponies from the chimera that would have killed them. Good job! For this deed, you have been gifted a new power! If you wear a costume, you will become the thing you are dressed up as! So, please, don’t dress up like a rock. I know Nightmare Night is this week, but really... don’t dress like a rock. Huh, costume changing? Sounds powerful, and I think I have the perfect costume in mind. I hear the tents rustle, and out come the ponies and Max, he signals out, ”What happend?” I turn around to them, “A chimera attacked, No-Pain ‘took care’ of it.” Fluttershy looks around, “But if he took care of it, why is there blood?” I hiss in a breath, “Well, um, he didn’t take care of it, per say, not like you do. He ‘took care’ of it like the Mafia would a betrayer, if you catch my drift.” She tilts her head curiously, “With a nice soup, and plenty of bed rest?” Oh Karma, why do I have to describe this to her, “I guess I’ll put it bluntly then. Fluttershy, he killed it, with a mace and its own heads. I burned the body so you wouldn’t have to see it.” Fluttershy gets a look on her face, “Oh...” then she passes out. I look around at everyone else, “Okay, I’ll carry her back to town. You guys go ahead with the tents, and I’ll wait for you.” Rainbow flies over to me, having not used a tent and instead a cloud, “So, Kendrick, Nightmare Night is two days from now. What are you going as?” I smile as I think about what I will need, “I won’t spoil the surprise, but I’m sure the town will love it.” —(Back at Ponyville)— “Doctor, I need supplies!” “What for?” “Nightmare Night.” “What do you need?” “Cardboard, black paint, and a human maniquine. And... an auto-extending umbrella.” “What are you going as?” “Just wait, and you’ll find out.” Silver is BrighterNightmare Night (part 1) I slip on all except one part of my costume. With meticulous work, and fond memories, I finally got the grey the right color, and the spikes the right length. On the inside, my armor was cardboard and other such materials. Outside was coated in a thin metal, knowing it would change to mithral when I transform. Now, I haven’t tested it, but I’m sure it will look awesome. I reach for my ‘mace’, and strap it onto my back. Of course, my ‘mace’ is just a auto extending umbrella painted grey with some spikes on it. Why an auto extending umbrella? Because those things look cool, and block out the rain as they are still compactable. I look down at my ring, and make sure the both of them were not glowing yet. They should only glow when I transform, and it should look beautiful. I placed the helmet over my head, and take a step out of my room. I see the Doctor there, painted a dark grey color, switched out his green bow tie for a black one, somehow made his eyes be shaded and smaller. He’s also strapped toe wings of the same grey to himself, and made his hourglass mark become broken looking. Overall he made himself look darker, and more melancholy in gerneal, and he definitely looks like he could be a villain like that. So, a pretty good costume. His sinister frown he wears like a well made mask returns to his normal grin as he looks me over, “Very nice, good character, lovely story he’s from, you even got the grey right!” I smile under my helmet as I look at him as well, “I don’t really recognize what your going as.” He laughs a bit, before shruging it off, “Oh, the idea just came into my head about a week ago. It took a lot of preparation, but nothing I’m not used to.” I nod, “It looks very good, very well made. It actually seems like you have changed into something else, if not for that smile of yours.” He try’s to look down at his muscle for a while, before giving it up, “Dang, got to make sure I keep that frown! It falls apart if I don’t do that!” I shrug back as an awnser, “Maybe it would be a little too real if not for that smile.” He shrugs as well, “So, out the door, and into the frey?” I nod, “Yes, into the frey.” *knock, knock, knock!* I walk over to the door and open it. Standing there are three kids all with baskets in their mouth and eyes closed, “Nightmare Night, such a fright, give us something sweet to bite!” Then Doctor walks over, “Well kids, I do apologize heavily, but I do not have any. We planned to walk around the town, so we don’t have any candy. I do apologize if your disappointed, after all, it wouldn’t be the first time...” I can feel his voice shift in that last line as he switches to his character. The kids finally open their eyes, and get greeted by the sight of me. Beginning at my feet, they draw their eyes up until they see my helmet. Then they run off screaming, “Ahhh!” I close the door, and smile, “Ah, it’s fun to get into that Halloween spirit!” Doctor continues to look out the window as they run, “Are you sure they are fine?” He asks with a hint of concern. I look out as well, “Doctor, they’re laughing. That’s the whole Halloween spirit!” Doctor takes a closer look, and then sees they are in fact laughing, “Well, that’s a relief.” With a smile and a nod, he opens the door, “Come along Kendrick, there is a costume contest, and I believe you might just win!” Author's Note So, who are they? HuntingNightmare Night (part 2) I crack my neck underneath my helmet as I step out into the autumn night. I whisper to Doctor, “Nice and cool, type of weather we would never get back in Florida.” Doctor and I start to walk down the street, and he simply nods his head, “I’ve been to Florida, nice place, nice people, devilish weather. It’s not rainy enough to be Britain, but not sunny enough to be Hawaii. A bit of a middle place, and the alligators, those things are everywhere.” He looks over to me, “So, your from Florida?” I nod, “Yep, the land of sun, and rain. I like the climate here better.” Doctor shakes his head, “This place has no climate. The Pegasi control the weather, and thus, the climate.” He then shrugs, “At least global warming isn’t a problem.” I look around, and see no ponies reacting to my talking, “Say, why isn’t anypony reacting to me talking?” He touches my shoulder plate, and pulls out a orb like thing, “An audio perception filter. They see you, but ignore your talking.” He looks up at me, “I just realized I don’t even get to explain things to you. You already know a lot of my tricks... this is new. I like new things.” I pop it back in, and look up, “We’re here.” There is a huge stage, and a bunch of humans in costumes with pony handlers right next to them. Me and the Doctor walk into line, “Alright, Kendrick, I trust you know what your doing.” —(30 minutes later)— I step up to the stage with the Doctor. The announcers yell out, “Here now is Time Turner with his human, Kendrick!” Doctor steps up, smiling, “Well, Kendrick, give them the old razzle-dazzle!” Some music starts to play from... somewhere. I take out the umbrella with spikes on it... my ‘mace’ and flick it open. As soon as it reaches the apex of the opening, I feel my hand start to burn and freeze at the same time. I hold up my hand, and see both rings Light and Dark start glowing together, putting their strength together into me as I become Sauron. Fire forming the shape of an eye appears behind me, one half blue, the other red. I feel my bones start to crack and reform to become so much more taller, and to match how he looks. I can feel myself grow more power than any mortal man should know or feel. My mind runs at least ten times faster, and I know in my mind that I have now become the most powerful being to exist on this world. Even the Elements couldn’t stop me now, with both Rings powering me up. I look out over the crowd as I feel my cardboard armor shift to become Mithral and to be picture perfect to the movies. My helmet has long spikes, my finger become thin, and the entire suit becomes heavier. But I can’t feel the change, my muscles are now beyond feeling what now is the negligenable weight of the armor and mace. I clear the fire out by swinging my mace around. *SSSSSSWWWWWWWW- CRACK!* I hit the stage, and take an entire chunk out of it in an explosion of magic, like the game Lord of the Rings: Conquest. I open my mouth, and words spill out. “Burz goth, shendrautsham goth, izg am rad ukmash, agh none na the same koh. Fuk ob rings, rings ob fuk, shun rings u unite fuk, agh izg gazog ul rad! Mordor, Gondor, Isengard, Equestria, izg could marr ul uluk, izg could become ul uluk! izg could be greater snu kuluk parhor, izg could durb! naan... Izg kramp nar wish u kramp za, instead, izg can urdan what u kramp sha za fuk. Izg will maprog, za kul what izg will kramp. Know katu, lat brus gained the most fukaush being mab latob side as a protecter!” I look over the crowd after my speech and monologue. Then, I turn and walk off the stage. I find a shaded park, and take off my helmet. My transformation goes back to normal, leaving me wearing cardboard and carrying an umbrella. I decide to test, and put it back on. The whole transformation look happend, with the fire and glowing and changing of bones. But the pain was gone, and the transformation was done before the look had even finished. I am back to my higher state of being, and I sigh in relief that I wouldn’t have to go through that every time I used this. I mean, I will want this costume on all the time now, but to get into places I will need to take the helmet or something off. I stand up and stretch in my new, god like body, and walk into town. I look around when I’m there, and I see someone in a Big Daddy suit. I stride my way over to him, and lean down to look him in the multiple eyes. Quick fact, Black Speech as said from Sauron’s Mouth is actually every language. So, back when I talked in Black Speech on the stage, everyone heard it in English, or whatever they speak. ”Brosh max, hontum lat chose a mir suit. Oh, agh a kafaz ob children mab latob kurrauz? izg didn’t marr lat for za type ob shara, unless latob dhuzud doing it as a brog?” Max shakes his head yes. But then he suddenly stops, and points behind me. ”What kul za?” I look in the direction of the Doctors house, and above it is a massive storm, but it’s... differnt. *Clip, clip, clop!* The Doctor runs past me, “Kendrick, follow me now!” I rise to my feet and rush off after him. I take off my helmet and go into the door, I rush down to the basement where I can hear shouting, “No! No! What’s wrong?! Speak to me, TARDIS!” I rush into the basement, and see the Doctor inside the TARDIS. Never thought I would actually be able to see this in real life. The TARDIS is takeing blasts of lightning, and putting out the clouds floating around above the house, “Woah.” I hear some banging, “The time has came! Why are you doing this, what happend during the Time?!” I enter into the TARDIS, and the Doctor rushes around it, “What’s happening!?” He flips a few things, “Something wrong! And when I say wrong, I mean very, very, wrong!” History FallsReturn The TARDIS voices its dislike of traveling through the fabric of the very multiverse with a series of cranking noises, and explosion noises. The Doctor consoles it as he runs around the console, “Come on, we have to get back. You can survive this, yes you can.” It responds with another crank, “Oh, come off it, you aren’t doing this all your own! You had a portal opened for you by Survivor, a powerful portal might I add!” I cling onto a pole as much as possible. I’ve become to used to wearing the Ring, I find it hard to keep my balance on here. Why doesn’t my poise skill cover this? I shout at the Doctor, “Is this supposed to happen!? You’ve been using the TARDIS for two months without complications, why is it bad now!?” He runs around, “We weren’t going through the fabric of existence before! Other than that, I have no idea. There shouldn’t be any barrier.” He takes down a screen, and looks at it, “There is chaos magic forming a barrier to stop any outsiders from getting in. That’s why. We can’t bust through that using just space.” He starts to run around more, “What does that mean?” He flips switch after switch, “That barrier can’t be burst though using just our kinetic energy. The TARDIS is good, but not even it can travel fast enough to break that barrier. So we add on Time Energy to our kinetic, so it will be like multiple TARDIS’s breaking in at once. One TARDIS can’t do it, but multiple can. Take our time energy so we attack with five in a single second to get through the barrier! I think.” I shake my head, “You think!?” He flies around the console like a bat out of hell, “This is the first time I did this, okay!? I never had to take magic into account, so it’s an unknown variable. I have never had to use time energy to increase force before. This is the first time this has happened, and I’m a pony no less. I do not know the consequences from using time energy. I don’t know if this magic can be broken. I don’t know, and I love it!” He wraps a hoof around a final switch, “This is going to be dangerous!” I smile, “It’s like you said! I don’t know, and I love it! Let’s go!” He smiles, and laughs as he pulls the switch, “Geronimo, Kendrick, geromino!” I laugh along with him as we go hurtling into the barrier. The feeling made is near impossible to describe with words. It felt like you existed fifty times at the same time, all fifty of you inside of each other thinking the same thing. It’s like every cell and microscopic organism on you all exist two times over, each one of them existing two times over again. My ears heard every sound made in my entire body, and it was deafening hearing fifty hearts with fifty ears hearing fifty barriers fall and cells producing ATP and to hear your left and right brain argue as if they are their own people. My eyes saw themselves, an infinite loop of me looking into my own soul fifty times over. I felt my cells, the oxygen I breathe and the water I produce, the bacteria and bugs too tiny to see, every atom of my being times fifty. I smell the fabric of reality. I taste the colors, red, blue, green, pink, even some that haven’t been discovered! Then, it all ended. My senses return to normal, and I feel almost cheated. Then, I see the door of the TARDIS blown open, flying into the Equestrian sky. The TARDIS is burning quite a lot, and with the doors being gone, I can see Equestria from a bird’s eye view. The Doctor springs to the ground, “Kendrick, hold on!” I grapple the pole with even more strength as we go through a random mountain. I hear squawks of pain, “Doctor, I think we hit a Pegasus!” He grips hold of something, “Collateral damage!” We start to slow down, but still move quite fast. I see Canterlot approaching quickly. “Brace for impact!” I hold on with all my might when we hit the ground. We don’t bounce, just travel on until it stops. I let go, and stand up. Looking out the door, I see a trench cut through the Canterlot Gardens from our decent. I take a step outside, and look at the state of the TARDIS. On fire, and pouring out smoke. The Doctor comes rushing out, leaning on a tree and coughing heavily. I sigh in relief, “We made it. We made it!” We rush together, laughing our excitement, “We made it!” Then, he looks at the TARDIS, “Oh no, not again! This is going to take a week to fix at least!” I’m about to say something. But I’m interrupted by a female voice from behind me, “And where the hell have you been?!” I turn around to see someone blue, crystal like, and female, “Karma.” She walks up to me, gets right up in my face, “Do you know how long you were gone?!” I shake my head, “No.” She leans back, “Dang, I hoped you did because I forgot.” She leans back in, “It was a long time, okay! Everyone thought you had all died! Ditzy and Dinky Doo mourned you, they cried for months! Not just you, but the Doctor as well! Max has gone missing after the Elements were used on him! I was worried, Kendrick! My champion on this world! Just hopped into a box and disappeared for about a year! I thought you were dead! Do you know what that did to me!? I feel like your mother, saving you from death and giving you powers like an adopted son, loving you! Then you just disappear into nothingness!” I lean back a bit, “I offer my face up for slapping, if that would make you feel better.” She looks right at me, before laughing hard, “Oh, that’s wonderful. I couldn’t do that. Your like a son to me, I can’t just slap you for personal pleasure.” I hold out my arms, “I offer my body for hugging, if that would make you feel better.” She accepts the offer, “I’m just glad your back. Be careful, I worry about what will happen in the near future. And you are to tell me before you go off to save the multiverse next time!” I smile, “Of corse.” She breaks the hug, “Now, I’m sure Celestia will want words with the both of you. Good luck with that.” She disappears. The Doctor blanches at her words, “Celestia is coming?” I turn to face him, “Run?” He nods, “Run.” Final FoeRun “In the name of Equestria, stop!” My long legs are a blur of motion as I run along. The Doctor looks back at me, “Faster, Kendrick, faster!” I pant for breath as I run along, and look behind me. At least ten guards are chasing after us. Another pony in the distance flies up into the air, and takes off after us at subsonic speeds. Oh shit. I look forward again, only to see the Doctor trip, “LEGO trap!” I see him shout out in pain as he grasps his hoof, and try to slow down. At my speed, it’s impossible. My armored boot finds itself above a lego, stepping down upon it. Even with the steel plating and enchantments on that boot, I can feel the LEGO find it’s way into my foot. I trip in place, and land on more lego’s, that also hurt a lot, “Ahhhhh!” I land on top of the Doctor, and go rolling off of him. He smacks the LEGO’s away from him, “That is surprisingly effective!” The subsonic pony lands next to us. Rainbowish hair, white coat, horn and wings. Aww shit, it’s Celestia. The Doctor looks up at her, “Hello Princess, fine day we’re having, isn’t it?” She looks at the both of us, “Well, I do suppose it is fine weather, my Pegasi have made a truely brilliant day. What wasn’t so fine was seeing two ponies running from my guards, and a trench through my gardens. But, seeing that blue box has helped things out considerably.” The Doctor and I exchange glances, before he speaks again, “What?” She smiles, “Seeing at your face, surpise, and general tone about you, I assume this is the first time we’ve met. Something old, something new, Doctor. You are looking different from the last time I saw you.” He slightly smiles, “Oh, so you know me? Good, good, I don’t want to anger the god of the world. See, what happened there was beyond my control. Now, I’m sure me and my human have something to do...” She looks directly at me, “Oh yes, you two always have something to do. Now, I do recall hearing from my fellow Princess about her meeting a new friend. A raggedy old watchmaker with a human. A scientist. I remember hearing naught about that for near a few months now. Something you did, Kendrick, or was it the Doctor?” He clears his throat, “Well, you see, Kendrick is-“ She interrupts, “An extraterrestrial intelligent human who is quite the pleasure to talk to.” I smile behind my helmet, before stopping through nervousness, “I don’t know about that second part, but yes.” She nods, “Oh, no need to be so humble. I’ve had many conversations with you in the past, found you a great speaker. Luna seems to think so as well. Talks of how she became friends with somepony in Ponyville, and didn’t expect me to do some snooping.” She smiles, “It is so fun to tease my dear sister. Even if today isn’t much fun at all.” I stand up, making sure to dodge the LEGOs, “What’s happened?” She sighs, “Max has gone missing, and Twilight is worried out of her mind. He was waking in the gardens, and just up and vanished. Now I have to decide wether to look for him or console Twilight.” I look towards the Doctor, and we mentally agree upon the same action, “You comfort her. We can look for Max. I have to apologize to him as well.” She nods, and smiles with nostalgia, “Every time you two are around, something bad happens. With Max missing, and you two showing up, I fear for the worst. But you’ll solve it, you always do. Good luck.” I nod back, “Good luck.” She flies off, and I help the Doctor to his hooves. We haven’t left the gardens in their entirety, only having ran for thirty seconds. The shrubs around us are thick, and Max could be in any of them. The Doctor gets up, and brushes dust off his coat, “Well, that was something that happened.” He puts his back to a nearby bush, “Well-“ His words are cut off by a club to the back of the head. A human stands there, holding the offending club. I instantly draw the Ugikatana, and point it at him. He puts his hands up, “Come?” I look at him in a mixture of shock and excitement. He spoke, “You speak?” He backs up slightly, “Come, see. Follow.” I slowly return my sword to its sheathe, “Follow where?” He looks at me intensely as I put away my weapon, “Den, follow. Not pony place” I point at the Doctor, “I’m taking him with me.” He shakes his head, “No pony come. Den no pony place.” I cross my arms, “It’s either both of us or neither of us.” He crosses his arms back, “You come, no pony.” I shake my head, “That ain’t happening. I won’t come without him. You say yes, I go willingly. You say no, I won’t go. You try and force me, the only thing going back will be your head.” The guy stares at me, before relenting, “Bring pony then. Follow.” Final FrontierHumans I follow the human through some caves right under Canterlot Castle, “Nice caves I guess. This what you take me to see? I like the style, but the sight ain’t worth it.” He shakes his head, and points forward, “Den ahead, you see.” I shrug as we walk through another opening, “I don’t know if you remember how heavy a pony is. Let me remind you, pretty fucking heavy added onto my armor and weapons. So, it better be pretty shitting close. Else I’m gonna turn around and leave you.” He walks through an opening, “We here.” I walk through, “Oh yeah, sure-“ Then I look at the cave. Tents everywhere, humans everywhere, fires. My sarcasm is cut off instantly, “Holy shit, there’s more of you.” He points to a fire, “Go to fire, human not human see you.” I nod to him, “Thanks, umm... Probus.” He tilts his head, “Probus?” I give a thumbs up, “If you need a name, have one that fits.” He looks at himself, “Probus. Name, Probus.” I nod, “Wear it proudly. Stay safe.” He nods back, “Safe, Silver. Will be safe.” I slide down a slope, and stumble into the light of the fire. Three humans sit around it. One of them looks up at me as I slide in, “Careful there, don’t want you injured. Hurt even more, considering all that armor.” I look right at the man through my armor, “Holy shit, one that can actually form compete sentences.” He gets a surprised twitch in his eyebrow, before smiling, “Well, we have another one! Names Dustin Revees. Nice to meet you.” I slightly nod, “Kendrick. I take it your not like the normal humans?” He shakes his head, “We’re from Earth, like you. Pleasure to meet you- why is there one of the ponies on your shoulder?” I look back at the Doctor, and place him down, “Well, I had to carry him somehow.” I settle myself down to the ground as Dustin speaks, “What is he for? Some type of sacrifice? Your captor that you killed?” I shake my head from behind my helmet, “No, he’s a friend.” He looks directly at the Doctor, “You’re friends with one of them?” I nod, “He’s different. Used to be human, well, near human.” Dustin leans in closer, “Near human? How can you be near human?” I sigh, “Right, I may sound a bit crazy, but what I say is true. Dustin, this is the Doctor.” He looks at me blankly, “The Doctor? What does that even mean?” I look right back, “It’s his name. Was torn here after dying, became a pony.” He shrugs, “Well, that makes two within that case.” He tries to look me in the eyes, “Take off you helmet, please. You’re among friends. I like to look a man in the eyes when I speak to him.” I reach up to my helmet, my hands touching the cool silver. I stop there, struggling with myself, “I haven’t taken this thing off for months. It’s... hard to take it off.” He reaches over, and puts a hand on my armored shoulder, “Then take a breath of air with it off. Let the wind go through your hair.” I grasp onto the metal, and slowly lift it away from me. My field of vision is increased considerably, and I feel a cross breeze running through the cave. I reach up to my face, only to feel a scratchy beginning of a beard, and the roughness of my face’s skin. My hair is greasy and dirty, spreading off my hair like a dirty mop. Dustin shakes his head as he looks at my face, “That ain’t the face of the person I’ve been speaking to. Your voice, your words, both speak of a veteran of war, one who has seen too much. Your face is one of a boy, barely even an adult. What happened to you Kendrick? Be proud of your scars, we all carry them.” I sigh, and remember everything, “It started off with me landing in the middle of a forest. Heard a scream, ran off to help. Ended up saving a cute little filly by the name of Dinky, she took me to the town of Ponyville. Doctor found me, brought me in, talked with me. Built a tank, made the Rings, we’re good friends. Got sent to a fighting pit, knocked out and carried there. I teamed up with this guy, Max, another one of us. They sent more and more humans after us... we killed all of them. So many died... but they were animals, we had to. Things returned to normal until Nightmare Night.” Dustin interrupts, “That’s Halloween, right?” I nod, “Dressed as Sauron, had a grand time. Then this... storm appears over our house, no rain but something so wrong. Got sucked into it, went somewhere else. There were guys there. Raven, Slendy, Courier, Avatar, Chem, Survivor. We fought so much, Solare, McBad, Wanderer, Clyde, Jack. Some creatures in suits, like humans, had a kill-on-sight order for us. We lead a rebellion, very outmanned and outgunned. If not for the others, I would have died in that war. If not for Solare, I wouldn’t be here today. There was just so much death, and the enemy were intelligent this time. They would come out with their hands up and we just killed them. No Geneva Convention out there.” Dustin leans back a bit, “You fought a war?” I put my head into my hands, “There was a child in the streets of the final battle. One of the enemies children, and their ungodly machine took aim at them. That was my turning point, I saved the child. They were just a child, nothing more. I took the shots into the back, almost died from that alone. I still don’t know why I saved that child, and yet none of the soldiers. They were just trying to protect their people, they wished no ill will to us. They were slaughtered, like animals. They didn’t see anything wrong with it, I didn’t see anything wrong with it. I was a monster, maybe I still am.” Dustin grasps my metal hand firmly, “Don’t say that, you are not a monster. You are a child forced into a situation beyond you. We’ve all done stuff we regret, but that’s the important part. The difference between monsters and us is regret. If I take a ponies life, I will live to regret it for the rest of my life. If they take my life, the only thing they’d regret is getting blood on them. Keep that regret, and you shall never become a monster.” I look up into his eyes, and nod. I take a deep breath, “We arrived back here, in the gardens, and Probus found us. You know the rest.” I hear footsteps from behind me, rushing up to me. I hear a familiar voice shout out, “Is that who I think it is? Kendrick!?” I slowly turn around, and see a boy there, around my age, “Bill?” ExperimentRings. “Celebrimbor’s hammer. I must test if it works, Doctor.” I say at breakfast the next morning. “I’m the second richest pony here, other than princess Twilight with her acces to the armory, so tell me what you would need.” The Doctor says, ever helpful. “Mithrel, I need Mithrel. An anvil, and a trip to the nearest volcano.” “Sure, I can do that. What are you making by the way?” “Rings, Doctor, the Rings.” “Can’t say I know what your talking about, but okay.” *1 week later* Getting all the molding was time consuming, just like all of this, but now I just need to hammer them. We are standing in a volcano that was previously a dragon cave, and I start hammering. Clank Clank Clank Raising up the hammer hard, I bring it down as hard as possible. When I strike the Rings this time, I am blasted back by magic. I look back up at the anvil with the Doctor, and see two ghostly people. Sauron And Celebrimbor! They take off their two Rings, and put them over my one ring of power, and hammer one last time. A blast of energy comes out, and can be felt all over Equis, causing earthquakes and tsunamis. New power has arrived! The two turn to me and say, “Use it wisely.” Before vanishing. *2 days later.* Equestria Times. World gathering held in Canterlot! Yesterday, Princess Twilight was said to receive a box of unknown orgines. She sent said box to Celestia, where she found that there were 14 Rings In there, and a note that said. 10 Rings to the world leaders, for peace and prosperity. 7 Rings to the Princess’s and the commoners, both noble and just. 3 to be givin to friends, and those around me. And one, givin to the creator, one ring to rule them all. Princess Celestia says to look for any pony with new rings, so they can find the creator of what has been dubbed, the Rings of Power, for they grant things who wear them power. I read outloud, looking over at the Doctor admiring the power the Ring gives him. The One Ring! Everything is at least 5X more powerful! Author's Note As G-Man once said, “Prepare for Unforseen Consequences.” Ancients RiseThe Harmonic Blast In a far away universe, Elements are reunited by Champions. The blast across all the universes has many effects. —(Kendrick)— “There are not words in any language that can accurately describe how bad this is!” The Doctor runs around the console, “What is it!?” He stops, and looks me in the eye, “Something we have very, very good reason to be afraid of. The Time was planned out by Time Lord’s past, of every Multiverse! We were told by the Creator Chem himself that this would go off exactly to plan! The Time went so wrong, it’s pulling the TARDIS across more than time and space, but the void between Multiverses! Something happend, or is going to happen that isn’t supposed to happen, and that can only mean something bad!” I feel shook up by his calm panic, “What do we do?” He looks around, “Right now? Grab onto something, and brace as best you can. We will find what’s wrong when we get there, and you and me are going to fix it so the Time can go off perfectly.” I nod, “I will be overjoyed to assist you with this, as a Companion.” He dives beneath something, and looks back up at me, “Why are you still standing!?” *Slam!* The TARDIS doors slam shut, “Get down now!” I dive and grab onto a handrail. *Fwoooshhhh-fwooo- fwohhhhhh- fw- fwo- Bang! Fwoshhh- Thud!* I shake as the TARDIS sounds like it’s being torn inside out, and I feel my everything start flipping. *BANG!* The TARDIS doors fling open, and I take a hesitant step outside. I take a look around, and see we crash landed in a field, in what looks kinda like Equestria, but differnt. I see a man and a pony also standing in the field. Both look off into the distance. I look where they are, and see something that shakes me to the bone. A city on a mountain, Canterlot. And dark grey gunships surround it. That’s the color of the Combine... “This Time has gone far past wrong and bad now.”
Karma StrikesKarma strikes It all starts off an average day for a senior, waking up too early, not eating enough, and chatting with friends as we wait for class to start. I wish now that I knew what was going to happen. “What are the point of toungs really?” I ask my friends with my usual ‘not high but I’ll sound like I am anyway’ routine. “Seriously, I mean, we use them to taste and stuff. I know that, but why do we need them? We could just have had taste buds in our mouth, would have stoped a ton of pain in the world.” “Kendrick,” one of my friends say. “Yessssss?” I respond. “Save it for later, I don’t want to question my life this early in the day.” I was going to respond in a confusing, and sarcastic way, but I was so rudely interrupted by several pops and screams. Good thing to mention here, I’m a stocky kinda fat 6ft5 man, and when I need too, I will be the strongest of anyone around me. I’ve always appreciated the art of the fight, and had learned how to use weapons of all kinds, except guns, guns were a cowards weapon for those that just want to kill, not for those who wish to be an actual fighter. I despise guns for that reason, but my other half, the scholar, loved the efficiency of the small explosive weapon. Being the paranoid basterd I am, I immediately assume school shooter, and I become a very dark joker when life is in danger. My adrenaline starts pumping, and before I rush off to confirm my fears and to face the one killing, I make one last dark comment to my friends,”Might not have a life to question soon. I’m going to stop him, come along if you wish to save lives.” I rush off, 2 of the 5 join me, wow, it seems just like a MLP episode in real life. A group of 6 friends with half of them rushing off to deal with a great evil, the others help those fleeing. Little did I know this was the ultimate irony. We find a kid in a black hoodie standing over two dead bodies, laughing and crying at the same time, literally listening to Pumped Up Kicks. Of course it enters the chorus as we arrive, the kid looks up at us, an inconspicuous Colt M1911 in his hand. Even if he has killed two, and has obviously broke, I will never say that people can’t change. Motioning to my friends to get behind me, I try to reason with him, “Please, just put the gun down, no one will judge you if you stop. Your honer and life can be saved here.” He starts to laugh/cry harder, “I must commend you for trying to stop me with words, I’m afraid others wouldn’t do the same. But, you have lied, I did reaserch on this of corse. I would be in prison for way to long, that is unacceptable.” “Well, I can’t say your wrong, and I will say the reasoning is understandable, but still, I would imagine you have taken down the worst on your list first, so stop and let the innocent live!” “Still determined huh? I feel we might have been friends, maybe we have before and have forgotten. But that’s beside the point, you aren’t wrong about me taking out the worst first. But you’re wrong about innocents. All those who stood by and watched, never brave enough to step in. Those are the real cause, to see me suffer and do nothing! The one where he fails his classes and is clearly depressed, but NO! He’s just an attention whore! He’s just a fake, he must be a retard, he must just be goofing off, he must be a privileged little white kid! There is no one who accepted the facts! Turned away by family, friends, guidance counselors and teachers! Now do you see! No one is innocent here! I’m only here because I decided that I may as well take down the fucking shitmonkeys in the middle of my suicide attempt.” He was slowly walking foreward as he ranted, becoming more lucid as he went on. I was holding back tears, because now I knew the depth of his torture. “Here mate, I have an offer to make. I will not let you kill anyone else, just because they were cowards and idiots does not justify death. But, I can kill you, just like that. If you truely want to die, than allow me to give you the most honorable execution I can.” I say, finally making my claim. “No... no. If I an to go out I will take the satisfaction of killing my killer!” He shouts back. “I’m sorry.” I say before I spring into action. Instently he fires off a shot, I get hit through the shoulder but shrug it off with the pure power of adrenaline. He fires a few more, hitting me twice before I reach him. I punch him in the face, to stagger him, before I push him over and mount him. I start punching, and receive a few myself, this exchange goes on for a minute before his face is pulped enough he looks like orange juice. Thincking him dead or unconscious, I get off to retrieve the gun in his hand. *BANG* he had enough energy to shoot one more time, right through the lung. I collapse and realize how I wouldnt make it out alive, lung punctured and already delirious of blood loss. I barely make out my friends putting him to eternal rest through my cracked glasses. They come over to me, “Kendrick, the police are here, they are commending you for your bravery.” “Haha,” I rasp, “That was not bravery, that was honer.” I turn specifically to my friends, “At least I got an actual fight. I’m going to die, it’s that simple-“ I am interrupted by my friend, “Don’t say that, you’ll live, you have to.” “Mate, I’m bleeding from multiple gunshots, have a punctured lung, and I’m only a senior.” I say with a smile, “Great way to go really, me protecting those who need it.” My other 3 friends come up to me, “Good, all are here. Better this than the prison execution I thought I would get.” We all share a small sorrowful laugh, “I want my funeral at night. And there is one thing I want you to put on my grave.” “What?” They all ask. Shot through the lung! And your too late! I give bronies, a new name!” Always the type for a reference, they laugh with me, until my last breath comes, and I die with a smile on my face. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Plane of unknown I find myself in a blue colored abyss, before I land on the floor. “Guess this is an afterlife? Cool.” “Not exactly.” Replayed someone as they appear, looking like a blue, cystiline female like figure who looks like she steeped out of Elder Scrolls. “Who are you? A god?” “Yes, kinda, I could be considered a god if you wish. But I prefer to be called a concept with powers. As for who I am, brave Kendrick, is simple. I am Karma, and are here to reward your good karma at the end. Trying to talk even though you know it won’t work, then fighting for others behalf, all the while doing it for the killer. You are a shining beacon of karma in your world, like the sun on a cloudy day.” “I’m nothing special really, but I’ll take a reward, Sure.” “Even in death, you are humble. For a reward, you will be givin another life. This land called Equestria, sound familier?” “Yes, I recognize that from MLP. Are you saying you will send me there?” “Yes, that is where you will be sent. But it is diffint than what you know. And for this you shall get powers from different media you enjoyed for the more good deeds done.” “So for the good I do I get more superpowers? What do I get first!?” “I’m quite happy to see you this enthusastic. You shall be givin the greatest from the start. One, a Pip Boy from your Fallout games, for inventory management and instant equipping. Second, all the characters you created in the Dark Souls series will be fused and powers givin to you.” I instantly start bowing, “I cannot thank you enough for this chance my fair lady Karma.” “Oh, get up. I hate being treated like I’m above people.” I follow her instructions and stand, “You will be able to thank me by preforming good deeds and delivering justice. Now go! Justice shall be delivered by you, brave Kendrick!” “Good bye!” I yell as she sends me away. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— I land in a clearing (more like a crater) in what I presume the Everfree. I have on a full Mirror Knight armor set, have my trusty strength and health build Lightning Lost Sinners Sword +5 on my back, a dagger from my assasin endurance and poise build, a staff and all the sorcery’s I would ever need on my back, and a Ughikatana +15 from my DS1 run, with dexterity and not much else. A Pip Boy on my wrist shows me having 99+ of every item, and my armor feels like it weighs almost nothing, but I equip some random cloths that were on my Pip Boy anyway. Standing up I hear a scream in the distance, either manticore or Timberwolves attacking a foal. I grin like a mad man and try to say ‘bring it on’ but I can’t speak for some reason. So instead I shall thinkBRING IT ON! Author's Note New story, because I kept having good story ideas.
Power GrowsKarmic deeds! DONE DIRT CHEAP! I find myself running to the source of the screams, and arrive 10 seconds after my mad dash. Finding an edge to a clearing, I instinctively reach up to push my glasses up my nose. I find however, that I have no glasses, and that my vision is perfect without (thanks karma). With that out of the way, I peer into the clearing. Timberwolves, of course it’s them (this is almost sounding like an old fanfic I use to read). They are cornering a greyish purple unicorn against a tree, and I plan to stop this. Knowing what I do from wolves, if I intimidate them as to where they realize that the causualtys won’t be worth it they won’t attack (Don’t Timberwolves regenerate though?). I decide to put this to the test, and use terror tactics, looking through my Pip Boy, I equip the Mirror Knight armor (the heads will freak them out) the Ughikatana (sharp, fast, and will tear through them with style) and, the most important part, a pyromany hand to cast immolation (the image of a man on fire will freakout the consructs of wood and leaf). Two handing the katana, I walk out, shiny silver of the faces reflecting off my helmet. The Timberwolves recognize this imminent threat, and face me, cowering at first, but standing fast as the alpha strategists. As the Timberwolves surround me, and I spin to always face the alpha, the filly cowers against the tree more but watches in badly contained fear. Over witch party, I know not, but I was still there to protect. Without warning, the four wolves spring into attack. Dealing with the alpha first, but still realizing there was one leaping to me from behind, I stick my sword through the alphas mouth as I duck, this causes the one leaping from behind to miss and cut open his underbelly from the sword sticking out the top of his comrades mouth. Those two delt with, I backstep, anticipating a low attack from the right, and swing my sword that way as I do it, cutting the top of the wolves head off. Turning to the last one to my left, I dodge a hevely telegraphed attack and decapitate him. Thinking the fight is over, and how stupidly suicidle those wolves were, I turn to the filly and sheath my katana as immolation runs out. There is one expression on her face. Fear. Unadulterated fear. Weird thing is, she was looking behind me? Oh, fuck, Timberwolves regenerate into a bigger one when defeated, the deep growl behind me confirms this. Realizing that the big one would be salty from its loss, and too damaged to afford another fight, it would be jumping for its prey, the filly! Diving right to her, and pushing her out of the way, I get her to safety seconds before the big one. I have no time to prepare as I feel it land on me, and start biteing, getting me into its mouth. I wouldn’t die anytime soon, but I was still in danger and couldn’t escape. Contemplating how to escape, I see everything pause as a video game like message appears in the center of my vision. +1 karma! You sacrificed yourself for a stranger! Karmatic energy rushes through you as a power unlocks! You gained Firery Breath! Instantly realizing the name, I try to use the Thu’m of fire. Yol Toor Shul! The inside of the wolf instantly starts to catch on fire and burn til all that was left was me standing in a pile of ash, fire not burning the surrounding area. Comeing over the adrenaline of that fight and close call kill, I realize how powerful and scary I was. To make sure not to scare the filly, I take off the armor and put on my school clothes instead. I walk and kneel in front of her, opening her eyes, since they were closed in fear when I jumped in her way, I make sure she sees me there and the pile of ash behind me. (Looks like I’m not the Ashen One, haha.) “Wow! You saved me! Thank you Mister Human!” Wait, she knows what a human is? Interesting, “You look like you belong to some noble pony with your clothes and fancy tricks.” Own!? This makes Karma’s words make more sense, I probably will need power if i am in a world where I’m a slave. What happend to Love and Tolerate? “Follow me Mister Human, my mother can find you your owner as reward.” She starts to skip away. Well might as well play along to hopefully understand how humans are slaves. “Oh! I forgot!” She says turning around on a dime, “I’m Dinky Doo! I got into that situation back there when I wasn’t looking where I was going. Oh, I’m also tired, can you carry me?” She talks a mile a gram, good thing I am a master of talking a light year a mililieter, so we are kindred spirits of speed and randomness. I do decide to carry her (she’s just a kid after all, and went through a dangerous situation) and the weirdness grows. A horse riding a human! It’s unnatural! Luckily for me, and her, no incednts happen on the path back, and Dinky falls asleep to my rhythmic steady gait. When we break the forest boundary and see daylight (looks like it’s about 3) her eyes flutter open, “Oh, were here! Allow me to lead you home Mister Human!” She says as she jumps off my back, only my near unlimited poise allows me to walk without a single stagger. We got a lot of weird looks, from human and pony alike, of this dynamic duo. I study the human/pony interactions, and come to a simple conclusion, humans aren’t slaves they’re animals. The look in the eyes of them suggests a lack of higher thought (i was going to be a biologist, so trust me) and the appearance looks more like a Neanderthal than a proper human. However, I did catch the eyes of one who was different, but he was pulled away before I could conclude anything. Looked like he was being led by a purple pony to a... train station? Either way, I need to follow Dinky. Eventually we come to a cottage on the edge of town, Dinky walks up and opens the door, “MOM!” She shouts, “Yes my little muffin?” Reply’s a grey pegasus with a blond mane and her eyes... wait, pegasus, blond mane, derped eyes, muffin? It’s Derpy! How could I forget Dinky was the daughter of Derpy!? Good thing there’s no internet here. “When I went out today I was attacked by Timberwolves, but this’ll human saved me!” “Oh no!” Derpy yells as she quickly hugs her daughter, “are you alright?” “Yes mom, as I said Mr.Human here saved me!” Dinky explains as she points to me. “I brought him with me so we might find his owner.” “Yes, it would only be our service to return the human who saved you to his owner.” Derpy says, “But we don’t have enough room for him. Maybe the Doctor will house him as we search.” Guess the mother has made her desicon, onto wherever this ‘Doctor’ lives. Turns out it was a two minute walk, to yet another building on the edge of town. It had a sign out front ‘clock store’. Y’know I was always good with clocks and watches, making minimum changes basically, I’d be able to help here. Derpy opens the store and yells out into it, “Doctor? Are you here?” “Yes, Yes, right here!” Says an almost familier voice, “What can good old Doctor Whooves do for you, my dear.” A stallion with a brown coat, and a distinct mane style says, popping around the corner, I’m able to see a hourglass cutie mark. Device of time, that mane, that voice, they all sound so familiar! Not from an MLP charichter persay, but still too familiar. Wait... store and mark about time, the voice... AHA! Ten/Eleven (old debate, don’t care about it) best Doctor! TARDIS, time, looks like David Tennet, it has to be the Doctor! Doctor Who! “Well you see Doctor, this human saved Dinky from Timberwolves, can you keep him until we find his owner.” Derpy says. The Doctor then looks at me, eyes slowly opening in surprise as he gets to my eyes. “Well, if he saved Dinky then sure, I’ll house him.” Derpy then hugs him, “Thanks so much Doctor, I got to go make sure Dinky hasn’t caused a mess. Bye.” She says as she’s leaving. “Yes, bye.” The Doctor says, closing the door. Turning to me He says one simple thing, “Tell me how you got here. Be honest.” He places a hoof on my shoulder, “Trust me, I’m The Doctor.” Author's Note Boom! The Doctors In!
HelloKarmic Lucid Dreams, YAY! i’m The Doctor there, all done. After making it clear I couldn’t talk (non dragon anyway) to The Doctor, he asked me to write it down. It has taken a whole hour to make sure my writing was legible, but it had to be done. “School shootings, Karma, powers from Dark Souls? You sure you didn’t hallucinate this during a mid dimension jump?” The Doctor askes, making sure it was true. I nod my head, and he says, “Well, I will believe you, still more believeable than when I woke up in this world, but could I ask for a demonstration? Preferably of that power you defeated the Timberwolf with.” Nodding, I turn to an unoccupied spot in the room, hoping fire breath will work like it does in the games and not continue burning. Yol Toor Shul! As expected the spout of fire hits the wall, freaking out The Doctor, “What the bloody hell! Your going to burn this place down!” I calmly point to where I shouted, showing him that the wood was unharmed, didn’t even have burn marks. “Well, turns out what you said is true! I must say, it will be marvelous to have someone understand all the history! You can help me build things as well! I must say, trying to build modern human technology by yourself is difficult, especially when I can’t use the TARDIS yet.” Quickly I write down ‘what do you mean you can’t use it yet?’ Reading the paper the Doctor respondes, “Well, this is a point in time which is in flux all the time. The very time energy feels chaotic, and the TARDIS would be in danger should I try to fly her in this ‘weather’. Wait, how did you know what the TARDIS was?” Hastily I write down about how his adventures were a t.v show back home, and how I watched it. “A show on the Telly? Someone must be transmitting my adventures to someone in your world. Strange, say, what does it show about this?” I write down about how the Tenth going into a world like this is never used. “Very peculer, but I have time to think about this later. Come, I will show you where you can sleep. Fair warning, I was not expecting a visitor, so accommodations won’t be the best.” He explains leading me to a smallish bed. “Good night Kendrick, we have much to discuss tomorrow.” He leaves me then and walks down the hall as I fall asleep. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Dream Relm. I find myself just in a void befor it turns blue and Karma steps out. “Kendrick our time is short. You now are a lucid dreamer, glad to see you settle in, and expect a visitor. OK, bye!” She says within 15 seconds, not even pausing for breath. So, lucid dreaming and a visitor eh? I think I know who that visitor is. Let’s get this dream as weird as possible. *1 minute later* When Luna stepped into my dreamscape, probably wondering what new creature was having a dream, this is what she saw. Me and every class from TF2 dancing to Pumped Up Kicks in the middle of a school shooting where Trump and Pepe the Frog were shooting Shreks at running Hillery’s, all the while this little room where we are is orbiting Earth with a ton of Sheogoraths and Loki’s drincking tea as they discussed the meaning of life and the universe. Luckily I could talk in my dream, and also luckily Luna landed in the dance party. “Ah, Good! I was expecting a visitor!” I say as I stop everything around me, “How are you this lovely night, dreamwalker?” “Who are you who could come up with such madness?” Luna says with surprise and worry. “Me? Oh I’m just a good ol’ human who spent to much time on the Internet.” I state back with infinite calm. “Human? But you are talking! Humans are not intelligent and can’t dream, now show us your true form creature!” Luna shouts at me. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Who here is the one invading privacy? That’s you. Now why should I awnser someone who has breached my mind, the ultimate crime, and who is being rude to her host? Shame on you.” I retort. “You do not know who you talk to creature. We are Princess Luna of Dreams, and you would do well to awnser me and give into my demands. If you dont then I will force you to for the protection of my ponies.” Luna replys with fury. “You know, your starting to remind me of somebody... oh yes! I remember who. Please princess, let me show you who I remember.” I say as I change my surroundings to that of a Consentration Camp, next to a Gas Chamber executing its next batch of victims. “What type of horror is this?!” “That my dear Luna, are the SS, who killed to ‘protect’ the people.” I say as I watch her expression change from disgust, to pure anger. “These, SS, where are they?” She askes, clentching her hand. “Why, they’re allready dead. Been dead for a long time, but such is humanity.” “Such images, not even the most twisted of minds could create this. It is clear this must be real, but no recollection of humans being able to do such things can come to my mind.” “Because,” I say, face grinning, “we weren’t animals, unlike they are here. I’m an anomaly who dosnt belong. Now, how about we drop that, and do something more fun?” “Fun you say? Fine, was not a busy night anyway.” And so I spent the rest of the night teaching Luna about video games.
TurnerIsn’t Murphy’s Law basically Karma? Unsurprisingly, I woke up earlier than the Doctor. Even though I can dream lucidly, my natural clock still makes me wake up at 6:30. I blame High School. Might as well make breakfast just Incase, hope the Doctor has eggs. *five minutes later* Just a touch of mayonnaise, salt and pepper, stir around as even as possible... done! And there’s the Doctor coming down the stairs. “Kendrick! What are you doing! Ponies could see you!” Hmm, didn’t think about that. Wait... it’s 6:35, we’re like the only two awake at this ungodly hour. I’m gonna respond with that. “Hmm... yes I suppose that’s true. But still, be more careful. Now, let’s eat!” We sit down and start devouring the gigantic mound of eggs I made. “Quite good, not the best, but still very good for one of your age.” ‘Thank you.’ I write down in response. “Your welcome. Usually I have to cook, and that is... worse. Anyway! I will have to get you a collar and some protein pills. We have to uphold apprences and there is no meat eating.” I nod in understanding. Walking out the door he says, “Now take a nap or something until I come back. Bye!” I decide to take his advice to take a nap. As I settle down, not paying attention to anything else, I start to think. Maybe I can be happy- CLUNCK! ******************************************************************************************************* Unknown time later, location unknown. Fuck! My head! What happened! Oh no, I was thinking happy thoughts about the future! MURPHY WHY?! Well, time to acces the situation. Opening my eyes, I find myself in a cage hanging above a pit/arena. Inside the arena I can see two humans, the different one from yesterday, and one holding a shiv. Comeon Outlier, beat him! It’s obvious these are fighting pits, and I’m a fighter. Oh, looks like Outlier just took a massive hit! Wait, Outlier’s got the shiv, and there goes the animals neck. He knows how to apply a weapon to a weak spot, not a fighter, but definitely intelligent like me. Oh, looks like I’m moving forward into the pit now. “Let’s bring out the next competitor! The savior of one Dinky Doo from a Timberwolf pack, and a sure savage, bring him out!” Ohh! Must be talking about me, the flattery is appreciated guys! Now the floor drops, I land and try to show peace. I hit the ground hard, dosnt matter, and look the Outlier in the eyes. He looks back, and I raise my hands like the French. He seems to understand this, and looks very surprised by it, but nods his head and starts walking towards me. I do the same. When we meet in the middle, I hold out my hand in a sign of an alliance. He reaches out and shakes it, accepting my offer. Now, a shiv just doesn’t seem right, but I don’t have any weapons he could use. Oh well, I’ll just put on my Mirror Knight armor and prepare my katana. At my suddenly appearing weapons and armor, Outlier jumps back, until he realizes what I’m doing. Probably writes it off as magic. “Ohhoho! What have we here! Looks like the fighters are allies! And one has armor and a weapon! This should be worth your money! Onto the duo fights! Bring out the competitors!” Two humans appear, weilding clubs and looking similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger. The both of us intelligents look at each other and nod, accepting our fate of fighting. Together we charge. ******************************************************************************************************* Several fights later. Killing the twentieth human they sent against us, I take note of our two health’s. I was bruised and batterd, armor almost painted red, unable to use Estus Flasks or Lifegems, I was as damaged as ever. My friend the Outlier, was bleeding from so many wounds it wasn’t even funny, I am surprised he could still stand. “Now for the grand finaley! Our new champions, the Mirrored Death, shall go against our two strongest humans left! Bring out the Tanks!” The crowd erupts into applause as two cages open. Holy shit... Bill, Louis, Francis, grant me your strength. For, across the arena, are two hulking monsters that put one message in my head. TANK! TANK! FUCKING TANK! Me and Outlier look at each other, both of us seemingly recognizing these behemoths from Left4Dead. Not one but two are what we have to face. Wanting to protect Outlier, being as damaged as he is, I charge first at the tanks. I get to one as the other goes to Outlier, and I slice at his arm with the katana, +15 and everything, and it gets lodged into his arm. Before I can even process the fact that a +15 katana was lodged in a things arm, I am punched away, flying across the arena. This motherfucker just took my katana into his arm! I pull out my staff. This man right here is about to receive the biggest Soul Spear attack ever! He slowly limps to me on one arm as I charge up my attack. When he gets close enough to where he could hit me if he jumped, I fire, mixing in my shout as well. My katana just gets returned to my inventory as the tank goes flying, body torn in two. Hahahahhahahahahhhahhahahh! Take that motherfucker! I turn to find Outlier pinned with the tank pressing down on him. I take out my katana again and rush to help, oblivious to the sounds of battle from the crowd. I arrive, but I do not save him, by the time I arrive a beam out of nowhere hits the tank. The body can’t even fly because the entire thing is now ash. Looking down at Outlier, I want to see the damage. Oh... no... his eye! I must try to help him! I take out a chime filled with the only miracle I ever learned in Dark Souls, Heal, and start to use it right over him. Golden circle, kneeled down, look up, and finally- ouch! Why is there a dart in me? Wait, why am I becoming tired? What’s happening... +1 Karma! You made peace and helped a stranger at the risk of your life! With negotiations and peace down, your body feels a new part of it unlock! You can now speak! Author's Note My posting time,
SparkleKarmatic truth. “Doctor...?” Wait, was that my voice? Wait, what happened, i was knocked out, so where am i? Opening my eyes I see the Doctor in the doorway looking quite shocked, “Well Kendrick, I didn’t expect that. Be glad it’s only me.” “I can speak now, apparently. Wait, why am I not in a hospital?” I say my first sentence in this world. “Ah, I joined the guards on the raid to see if I could find you, and I did. About to strike down that Apple monstrosity from attacking your friend, good job by the way, and when you started doing... whatever you were doing on the chimes above your friend the guards tranquilized you. What were you doing anyway?” “I was going to heal him with that. How is Outlier anyway, last time I saw him he wasn’t in the best condition? And you didn’t awnser me.” “Outlier? Is that what you call him? His real names Max, the new human of Princess Twilight. And for your hospital question, you only had bruises, nothing major happened to you. Although they did say you would need a bit of bed rest.” “Screw bed rest, I’ll just down an Estus.” I say as I pull out said green flask. “Estus? What’s Estus?” He says as I take a sip. “This.” Oh, wow that’s good! Feels like I just took a 50 hour energy. “Wow! First time I did that, feels wonderful!” “Oh, Okay whatever. Oh yeah, when we took your armor off it dissolved.” “Oh, no need to worry, it just jumped back into my inventory.” We hear knocking on the door. “I’ll get that, follow if you wish.” He says as he starts walking. I follow. “Ahh Derpy! What is it your here for?” I walk into the sight of the door, “Oh it’s about him actually. We searched and searched but couldn’t find any noble missing a human of his description. Wait... are there any brands on him?” “Haven’t checked, but with the amount of cloaths he wears it would be printed on there.” “Oh, Okay. So... what happens to him now?” “I’ve taken a likening to him, might as well keep him.” “Okay Doctor. Got to go pick up Dinky now, be safe!” “Goodbye to you to my dear.” He says as he closes the door. “I ship it.” I say as he turns to me, “You match together so perfect, I think I might just set you up.” His face turns red, “OI! I’ll have you do no such thing! I don’t need some ‘wingman’ even if I wanted to do that!” “Ohho, get the century old Timelord to blush? I know I have to see it now, your perfect for each other!” knock, knock. The Doctor fixes me with a ‘this is not over’ glare I received on a daily basis by friends. Opening the door we can see the purple alicorn, probably this Twilight I’ve heard about, and my intelligent friend Max right behind her, missing... an eye... dang. “Ah, hello Princess Twilight, how may I help you?” The female voice responds back, “Don’t call me princess please. Are you the owner of the human who fought with Max in the fighting pits?” “Yes, of corse I am! Kendrick’s right here.” Doctor says, pointing at me. Turning to Max Twilight says, “Is this him?” The human nods in confirmation. “He’s intelligent?” “Yes He is Doctor, and I think he’s not the only one here.” Twilight accuses. Looking deadpan the Doctor simply says, “How about we chat over tea instead of in the streets?” Inviting them inside. “Of corse, thank you Doctor.” She says as the Doctor sets out four tea cups with a pot in the middle. “Come, come, everyone sit.” And so all four of us do so. “Now Doctor, Kendrick here is intelligent like Max, right?” Not wanting to stay mute for much longer, I simply say, “Yes, I am as intelligent as any of you.” Everyone looks shocked or surprised as Max makes some symbols with his hands that look like sign language, “Max here says you only communicated non-verbally in the arena, why do you talk now?” “Because through the karma gained in that fight I was able to unlock speaking.” “Well, that’s... strange. But let’s continue on.” And so we had a long discussion telling our separate tales of how we got here to Equestria. My school shooting story got me a look of sympathy from everyone, especially Max, who looked like a college age student. Eventually we decide I should teach Max how to defend himself, and that I should come along on all excursions to act as a friend, bodyguard, and teacher for Max. Karma +1! You have finally come clean with your intelligents! From now on you can summon a random orc from Shadow Of War to protect you from those who would wish to claim a special prize.
Forging a PathNo Karma, just Tanks. Knock, Knock, Knock. Why is it always knocking that signifys the start to a weird day? Only been here for a week and trends already are starting up, well, maybe it will give me something to do considering I’m not training Max today. “Ah, hello Dinky!” The Doctor says as he opens the door. “Hello Doctor! I need some help.” Oh, help is it? Such a sweet and innocent child, I think I could help. “Oh? And what is it that you wish for me to help with?” Ahh, the Doctor, always helping. “Well, the Applewood Derby is next week, and I was wondering if you could help build, and be my driver?” “Why, of corse I will! But what about your mother, shouldn’t she help you?” “Well, no offense to her of course, but her corridination wouldn’t be good for driving and building. I asked permission!” “Well, I’m pretty sure me and my assistant can build one for you, if that is what you wish.” Assistant, nickname givin to me by the Doctor, and I quite like it. “Thank You Doctor!” “My pleasure dear Dinky, now run along and go play as we get to work.” Dinky does so, as the Doctor closes the door. “Well, I think a regular cart would be boring, right Kendrick? How about we create a bear of industry?” I hope he’s thinking what I’m thinking. “T-34?” I ask hopefully. “T-34.” He says back as I start jumping for joy. “I have plenty of metal to build it, so let’s start.” The Doctor says. *Music starts playing.* “In this small town I think we’re the smartest here.” “Of our intellect many will fear.” “So let’s start building history’s best” “This one tank better than the rest.” “Let’s start some industry!” “Us two smartest, you and me!” “This is a mark on history!” “Bring the metal, that’s the key!” “Our cart shall be the best!” “All others shall fear our quest!” “So let’s join together you and me!” “Create our mark on history!” “We shall sieze the means of production!” “Stop the worlds corruption!” “I’m the Stalin, you the Lenin.” “Revolution, referendum!” “Together we shall send them...” “Back In History! “We’re the Soviets you and me!” “Become captains of industry!” “Ohh! The cannon, that’s the key!” “We’re the smartest you and me!” “This is a mark on history!” “Our cart will be the best!” “All others will fear our quest!” “So let’s join together you and me!” *music ends.* “Well,” the Doctor says first, “first time song magic has effected me in such a strong way.” “It’s been three days. Why were we singing? Why did time speed up for us?” “Song magic, and unknown.” “Right, I’m going to sleep, wake me up when we drive that thing.” “Okay.” *few days later.* “Oi!” The Doctor says, poking me, “It’s time to drive it!” “Really! Ohmigash!” I say jumping out of bed. “We have about half an hour until we have to arrive. Let’s go!” “Remember to bring the fireworks to fire out the cannon, and we need to stop by Dinky’s to pick her up.” “Gotta say, the hammer and sickle you added makes this look great.” The Doctor says as we climb into the first tank ever. “Is Max gonna be there?” I ask, wanting to see his face. We start driving. “I think he will be. He is going to love this!!” The Doctor says maniacally as he drives with perfect coordination. I start laughing insanely and the Doctor joins in. Then we arrive at Dinky’s house, really Derpy’s but whatever. “Let’s invite those two in for a drive my good assistant.” He says as we hop out the top of the tank, seeing the awed faces of ponies staring at our tank. Knocking at the door three times, the Doctor and I wait for Dinky and Derpy. When they eventually open the door, the Doctor gets a morbidly sarcastic smile, pointing at the tank saying, “Your ride has arrived ladies.” “It’s so cool!” Dinky says as she tries to get in, needing help from me, “What is it?” She askes as we all get in. “This my dear friends is a tank. A Soviet design called a T-34.” Piping up Derpy askes, “Why build this ‘tank’ instead of a cart?” “Ah,” the Doctor says, feeling a lecture coming up, “two reasons. One, this can accelerate by itself without aid of magic, unlike carts, and is a lot faster a lot quicker. Right now my assistant is keeping it at a cool, slow, 30 KMPH, still faster than a lot of carts. Two, the cannon,” He says pointing to the said cannon, “can shoot off fireworks, or tank shells. With armor this thick, and a cannon on the front, this is the perfect war tool.” “Oh,” both mother and daughter say at once, “Okay.” I tap the Doctor on the shoulder as the others look away to study the inside. “I want to be out the top of the roof like an old propaganda poster.” “Okay, do that, I’ll take over driving.” He turns to the others as I climb to the hatch, “we have a switch of drivers.” I put the hatch up and see we are near the school. I climb back down and load the cannon with some fireworks for an entrance. The Doctor sees this and says, “Dinky allow my assistant to do as we’ve practiced to make the entrance even better.” She complies and walks up to me as I fire off the fireworks, and climb the ladder with her in my arms. I open the hatch, hold her up soft but firm, and point forward over the hill we were emerging from, fireworks lighting up the sky. https://goo.gl/images/KkoAPf Everyone gawks at us as we arrive just in time to hear the ‘start in one minute’ whistle. We stop at the start line and prepare. *5 minutes later* We won, the Doctor got asked a ton about what the T-34 was, Dinky got most Modern and Fastest award, me and Max shared a laugh. Overall a very good day, I even got a tank out of it. +1 Karma! You used your craftsmanship to help a child in need look cool! You can feel the spirit of the craftsmanship as you gain a new ‘limb’! You can now use Celebrimbor’s hammer! Author's Note Note, bold means they are singing together.
A Final PlanLetting the... human out of the.., crate? “We got something to do today Kendrick!” The Doctor says after talking to Twilight. “And what would that be Doctor?” I say, looking up from my book. “Two things. One, Twilights friends know Max is intelligent. Seem they were good with it, maybe we could reveal you today.” “And what is today?” “Camping! Twilight has invented us on a camping trip, I thought it would be fun, and you can train Max. And with us secluded in the woods without anyone watching, we can reveal you safely.” “Alright, I’m good with all parts of that plan. But I want to do it in my own ‘special’ way.” I say getting up to pack. The Doctor stands there for a second before saying, “I haven’t thanked you yet.” Still packing I say, “For what? Draining your reasorces? Getting you into trouble?” “No, Kendrick, you act like you haven’t done anything. You’ve made this Ring for me, as a show of friendship, you gave me a chance to know Twilight, and so far we seem to be good friends. You’ve made me more money than you’ve drained, and givin me a bargaining chip with royalty! But that’s not the most important, you may help, you may be useful, but that’s not what matters to me, you said there was a show on the Telly about me, that you watched, you should know why I like you!” “Act like i don’t know. Tell me.” I say, packing up the rest before sipping up the backpack we were using. “You are the one person here for me to talk to! I would’ve gone insane had you not shone up, having no one to talk to, it’s terrifying.” “Yes... that’s why the Pandorica was used.” I say, remembering the Doctors struggle. Wait, that was the next Doctor... shit. “What do you mean the Pandorica was used? It’s a fairytale!” “Are you not the one who says anything was possible?” “That does not awnser my Question.” “Well, the show went beyond 10, into your next regeneration.” “So... you’ve seen Eleven. Huh, knew the universe would at least keep a copy. But that doesn’t matter, I wasn’t finished! Now, as I was saying, you are also another Mad Man for me to talk, and bounce ideas off of as I receive the same.” “So, you truely care for me?” I ask, not believing a minor hero of mine could say such. “I’ve had many companions, many partners, many friends, you Kendrick, you are in the top ten. Low, Yes, but mainly because we haven’t been able to use the TARDIS.” I can’t believe it. The Doctor, a hero I’ve had most my life, saying I’m his friend, “Thank you Doctor, you don’t know how much that means to me.” “Now,” the Doctor says after about a minute, “enough emotional talk, let’s go camping!” *3 hours later.* We stop in a clearing to set up camp, making good time. Max and I put down Rarity and Pinkie Pie respectively. Our stamina and endurance almost limitless because of the Rings, same with Twilight and the Doctor, Applejack, Rainbow, And Fluttershy were able to walk that distance without rest. “Thank you Max for carrying me.” “How much suger did you digest to walk like that Kendrick?” I can’t respond, want to keep the surprise. The Doctor motions me over asking when I will reveal myself. “When the fire is set up, you’ll know what to do.” He shrugs in response. *few hours later* It’s dusk, nearing night, when we decide to build a fire. Applejack brings over a pitiful stack of sticks for a fire. I see this as the perfect moment, and put a thumbs up to the Doctor, “Hold Up Applejack. Think Kendrick wants to do something.” And do something I shall, I go over to a tree a make sure everyone is watching. I punch down the tree, leaving naught but a stump that grows back instantly with the power of the One Ring. I then chop up the tree into logs to build a bonfire. I put them all in the fire pit as everyone gawks at me. Turning around I say in a booming tone, “Ladies and Gentlemen! Creatures of all ages! Prepare to see something wonderful!” Turning back to the bonfire, I light it in the best way possible, Yol Toor Shul! With the One Ring aiding me, the fire that comes out of my mouth is hotter than even dragon fire of Alduin. As soon as the fire touches the logs, they are on fire. I turn around and bow in an overly theatrical style, “Don’t hold your applause, I know I was great.” Twilight turns to the Doctor, “Well, I guess that’s a way to say he’s intelligent. Was this your plan?” “Nope, he decided to do this on his own.” Pinkie Pie bursts out with applause as Applejack says, “Well, two intelligent humans in one week! That has to be some record.” And so on an so forth, average stuff really. Awnsering questions from the ponies, and shutting up Pinkie. There are a few parts that stood out, for example is when Rarity pointed out the Rings. “I can’t help but notice how only those who knew about you has these rings. And yours looks different than the rest.” I was starting to sweat by now, “And in the newspaper it said that a note came with the Rings givin to the world leaders, and it was missing four, the three to friends, and the one to the creator. Would this happen to be you?” I give her a round of applause, “Well done, Rarity, should’ve known you would spot that! Yes, you’re correct, I was the one who forged the Rings of Power.” After considering this Rairity says, “Well, could you make some for the rest of us? I would love to have a ring like that, and it could help in life threatening situations!” “Well, sadly, no. To put it simply, there can only be a set amount of Rings of Power. And they all have to be forged at once, with one exception, but that can’t happen, so don’t ask. Also, I made these so they could only come off when the limb they’re on is cut off, or the host dead.” “Oh... okay.” And when we finally went to sleep, I got to use a new power before everyone turned in. I summoned a captain. I CAN’T FEEL IT! “Oh god no!” I yell as an Olag-Hai comes over a hill. Pinkie moves to meet him. “Hi! Who’re you? Are you happy?” ”I CAN’T FEEL IT!” “Oh, well I’ll have to work on fixing that. Bye bye!” “Olag!” I yell out and he comes to me. “Are you feeling it now Mr.Krabs?” ”I CAN’T FEEL IT!” Me and Max start laughing our asses off, the Doctor even joins in when he remembered where that refence was from. Recovering I order, “Gaurd us as we sleep.” He gets up and starts patrolling, but not before he shouts. ”I CAN’T FEEL IT!” Great, now I have this guy as a permanent bodyguard. Fuck my life. Author's Note I CAN’T FEEL IT!
A Final ExecutionThe time the mind took over “Hello there Luna! Ready to go on an adventure never before seen?” I ask Luna as she drops into my Dreamrelm (for relaxation and video games) “Throw whatever you can at me! MemeMoon_8 shall survive!” Luna shouts excitedly back, always enjoying this. She has even mastered modern day launguge, though Celestia did suspect something else (love) it was not any of that... I think. “Tell me Kendrick, what shall we play today?” “Well, you want creepy horror?” I ask. “Please, after all those war videos you’ve shown me, try your best and prepare to fail.” Luna says overconfidently. “Fine, I shall do one thing. Mind, take over my dream!” I say shouting up. “Ohh, This should be interesting. Ready when you are ‘Chemtest’” “Then let’s go M@M.” M@M is my shortened version of her name. Meme, Moon, M@M, see? Then we are dropped in a room, dark, smells of lemons, and has two tables, each with two weapons on it. Luna walks towards a table that has a M1M4 and a Degle from CS:GO, and I walk towards the table that has a katana and a MP40, thing of my dreams, literally! Luna and I look towards each other and nod, reaching for our automatic weapons first. As soon as I touched the MP40 I was thrown into a vision. The person I was seeing it as was having all his organs cut out and drilled his teeth all the while showing it on a camera in front of him. I snap out of it, and see Luna in a similar state, “Maybe that was a unique thing to those weapons?” Luna says. We grab our second weapons and the same thing happens. This time I was a surgeon who was moving in beat to a jaunty and happy music as I drilled through another mans ear, Yes the eardrum, not the cartalidge. The screams of the one below me didn’t matter, the happy tune kept me going. This time Luna turns to me and says, “Maybe we can put this off.” “Yeah, probably.” Outside my Dreamrelm I hear ”I CANT FEEL IT!” “Ah, that’s my que to go, goodbye Luna, see you tomorrow!” “Same to you Kendrick!” Author's Note Sorry I couldn’t write, I was sick. Still recovering a bit. Here’s a dream I had as I was sick though.
Grey ShinesDid somebody ring? ”I can’t feel it!” I spring out of my bed, and quickly zip my way out of the tent I rested in, “Shit, Olag, you better not be fucking up this early in the morning!” I burst out into the campsite, only to have my armor be coated in a thin paint of blood, “Fuck, I just washed this!” I look up to see what the blood is from. What I see is a chimera being torn apart by an Olag. Painless grabs the snake’s head, and rips it off. He uses this same head’s neck to choke out the tiger head. Then, he hits their leg with his mace, and tears off the leg, ”I can’t feel it!” He brings the leg down. *Oof!* He raises it up again. *Oof!* He hits the last head a third time, smashing it in. His green skin is turned red by his prey, and my fucking armor is coated! He holds the mace up in celebration, and laughs, ”I can’t feel it!” I walk up to him, unequiping and re-equipping my armor to clean it. I finally stand at the chimera’s corpse, “Well, I guess you protected us.” I look up at him, “Good job!” He gets a dumb smile on his face, ”I can’t feel it!” I pat him on the leg, “Go ahead and take the rest of the day off. Your already level thirty, and I don’t think I will need you. Hopefully.” He nods, and fades away. I wonder where they go when that happens? Anyway, I have a body to deal with. Upon thinking, I decide one blast of Yol should turn this all to ash. ”YOL, TOOR, SHUL!” Yep, turned to ash. And most of the blood is gone as well! Karma up! You protected the ponies from the chimera that would have killed them. Good job! For this deed, you have been gifted a new power! If you wear a costume, you will become the thing you are dressed up as! So, please, don’t dress up like a rock. I know Nightmare Night is this week, but really... don’t dress like a rock. Huh, costume changing? Sounds powerful, and I think I have the perfect costume in mind. I hear the tents rustle, and out come the ponies and Max, he signals out, ”What happend?” I turn around to them, “A chimera attacked, No-Pain ‘took care’ of it.” Fluttershy looks around, “But if he took care of it, why is there blood?” I hiss in a breath, “Well, um, he didn’t take care of it, per say, not like you do. He ‘took care’ of it like the Mafia would a betrayer, if you catch my drift.” She tilts her head curiously, “With a nice soup, and plenty of bed rest?” Oh Karma, why do I have to describe this to her, “I guess I’ll put it bluntly then. Fluttershy, he killed it, with a mace and its own heads. I burned the body so you wouldn’t have to see it.” Fluttershy gets a look on her face, “Oh...” then she passes out. I look around at everyone else, “Okay, I’ll carry her back to town. You guys go ahead with the tents, and I’ll wait for you.” Rainbow flies over to me, having not used a tent and instead a cloud, “So, Kendrick, Nightmare Night is two days from now. What are you going as?” I smile as I think about what I will need, “I won’t spoil the surprise, but I’m sure the town will love it.” —(Back at Ponyville)— “Doctor, I need supplies!” “What for?” “Nightmare Night.” “What do you need?” “Cardboard, black paint, and a human maniquine. And... an auto-extending umbrella.” “What are you going as?” “Just wait, and you’ll find out.”
Silver is BrighterNightmare Night (part 1) I slip on all except one part of my costume. With meticulous work, and fond memories, I finally got the grey the right color, and the spikes the right length. On the inside, my armor was cardboard and other such materials. Outside was coated in a thin metal, knowing it would change to mithral when I transform. Now, I haven’t tested it, but I’m sure it will look awesome. I reach for my ‘mace’, and strap it onto my back. Of course, my ‘mace’ is just a auto extending umbrella painted grey with some spikes on it. Why an auto extending umbrella? Because those things look cool, and block out the rain as they are still compactable. I look down at my ring, and make sure the both of them were not glowing yet. They should only glow when I transform, and it should look beautiful. I placed the helmet over my head, and take a step out of my room. I see the Doctor there, painted a dark grey color, switched out his green bow tie for a black one, somehow made his eyes be shaded and smaller. He’s also strapped toe wings of the same grey to himself, and made his hourglass mark become broken looking. Overall he made himself look darker, and more melancholy in gerneal, and he definitely looks like he could be a villain like that. So, a pretty good costume. His sinister frown he wears like a well made mask returns to his normal grin as he looks me over, “Very nice, good character, lovely story he’s from, you even got the grey right!” I smile under my helmet as I look at him as well, “I don’t really recognize what your going as.” He laughs a bit, before shruging it off, “Oh, the idea just came into my head about a week ago. It took a lot of preparation, but nothing I’m not used to.” I nod, “It looks very good, very well made. It actually seems like you have changed into something else, if not for that smile of yours.” He try’s to look down at his muscle for a while, before giving it up, “Dang, got to make sure I keep that frown! It falls apart if I don’t do that!” I shrug back as an awnser, “Maybe it would be a little too real if not for that smile.” He shrugs as well, “So, out the door, and into the frey?” I nod, “Yes, into the frey.” *knock, knock, knock!* I walk over to the door and open it. Standing there are three kids all with baskets in their mouth and eyes closed, “Nightmare Night, such a fright, give us something sweet to bite!” Then Doctor walks over, “Well kids, I do apologize heavily, but I do not have any. We planned to walk around the town, so we don’t have any candy. I do apologize if your disappointed, after all, it wouldn’t be the first time...” I can feel his voice shift in that last line as he switches to his character. The kids finally open their eyes, and get greeted by the sight of me. Beginning at my feet, they draw their eyes up until they see my helmet. Then they run off screaming, “Ahhh!” I close the door, and smile, “Ah, it’s fun to get into that Halloween spirit!” Doctor continues to look out the window as they run, “Are you sure they are fine?” He asks with a hint of concern. I look out as well, “Doctor, they’re laughing. That’s the whole Halloween spirit!” Doctor takes a closer look, and then sees they are in fact laughing, “Well, that’s a relief.” With a smile and a nod, he opens the door, “Come along Kendrick, there is a costume contest, and I believe you might just win!” Author's Note So, who are they?
HuntingNightmare Night (part 2) I crack my neck underneath my helmet as I step out into the autumn night. I whisper to Doctor, “Nice and cool, type of weather we would never get back in Florida.” Doctor and I start to walk down the street, and he simply nods his head, “I’ve been to Florida, nice place, nice people, devilish weather. It’s not rainy enough to be Britain, but not sunny enough to be Hawaii. A bit of a middle place, and the alligators, those things are everywhere.” He looks over to me, “So, your from Florida?” I nod, “Yep, the land of sun, and rain. I like the climate here better.” Doctor shakes his head, “This place has no climate. The Pegasi control the weather, and thus, the climate.” He then shrugs, “At least global warming isn’t a problem.” I look around, and see no ponies reacting to my talking, “Say, why isn’t anypony reacting to me talking?” He touches my shoulder plate, and pulls out a orb like thing, “An audio perception filter. They see you, but ignore your talking.” He looks up at me, “I just realized I don’t even get to explain things to you. You already know a lot of my tricks... this is new. I like new things.” I pop it back in, and look up, “We’re here.” There is a huge stage, and a bunch of humans in costumes with pony handlers right next to them. Me and the Doctor walk into line, “Alright, Kendrick, I trust you know what your doing.” —(30 minutes later)— I step up to the stage with the Doctor. The announcers yell out, “Here now is Time Turner with his human, Kendrick!” Doctor steps up, smiling, “Well, Kendrick, give them the old razzle-dazzle!” Some music starts to play from... somewhere. I take out the umbrella with spikes on it... my ‘mace’ and flick it open. As soon as it reaches the apex of the opening, I feel my hand start to burn and freeze at the same time. I hold up my hand, and see both rings Light and Dark start glowing together, putting their strength together into me as I become Sauron. Fire forming the shape of an eye appears behind me, one half blue, the other red. I feel my bones start to crack and reform to become so much more taller, and to match how he looks. I can feel myself grow more power than any mortal man should know or feel. My mind runs at least ten times faster, and I know in my mind that I have now become the most powerful being to exist on this world. Even the Elements couldn’t stop me now, with both Rings powering me up. I look out over the crowd as I feel my cardboard armor shift to become Mithral and to be picture perfect to the movies. My helmet has long spikes, my finger become thin, and the entire suit becomes heavier. But I can’t feel the change, my muscles are now beyond feeling what now is the negligenable weight of the armor and mace. I clear the fire out by swinging my mace around. *SSSSSSWWWWWWWW- CRACK!* I hit the stage, and take an entire chunk out of it in an explosion of magic, like the game Lord of the Rings: Conquest. I open my mouth, and words spill out. “Burz goth, shendrautsham goth, izg am rad ukmash, agh none na the same koh. Fuk ob rings, rings ob fuk, shun rings u unite fuk, agh izg gazog ul rad! Mordor, Gondor, Isengard, Equestria, izg could marr ul uluk, izg could become ul uluk! izg could be greater snu kuluk parhor, izg could durb! naan... Izg kramp nar wish u kramp za, instead, izg can urdan what u kramp sha za fuk. Izg will maprog, za kul what izg will kramp. Know katu, lat brus gained the most fukaush being mab latob side as a protecter!” I look over the crowd after my speech and monologue. Then, I turn and walk off the stage. I find a shaded park, and take off my helmet. My transformation goes back to normal, leaving me wearing cardboard and carrying an umbrella. I decide to test, and put it back on. The whole transformation look happend, with the fire and glowing and changing of bones. But the pain was gone, and the transformation was done before the look had even finished. I am back to my higher state of being, and I sigh in relief that I wouldn’t have to go through that every time I used this. I mean, I will want this costume on all the time now, but to get into places I will need to take the helmet or something off. I stand up and stretch in my new, god like body, and walk into town. I look around when I’m there, and I see someone in a Big Daddy suit. I stride my way over to him, and lean down to look him in the multiple eyes. Quick fact, Black Speech as said from Sauron’s Mouth is actually every language. So, back when I talked in Black Speech on the stage, everyone heard it in English, or whatever they speak. ”Brosh max, hontum lat chose a mir suit. Oh, agh a kafaz ob children mab latob kurrauz? izg didn’t marr lat for za type ob shara, unless latob dhuzud doing it as a brog?” Max shakes his head yes. But then he suddenly stops, and points behind me. ”What kul za?” I look in the direction of the Doctors house, and above it is a massive storm, but it’s... differnt. *Clip, clip, clop!* The Doctor runs past me, “Kendrick, follow me now!” I rise to my feet and rush off after him. I take off my helmet and go into the door, I rush down to the basement where I can hear shouting, “No! No! What’s wrong?! Speak to me, TARDIS!” I rush into the basement, and see the Doctor inside the TARDIS. Never thought I would actually be able to see this in real life. The TARDIS is takeing blasts of lightning, and putting out the clouds floating around above the house, “Woah.” I hear some banging, “The time has came! Why are you doing this, what happend during the Time?!” I enter into the TARDIS, and the Doctor rushes around it, “What’s happening!?” He flips a few things, “Something wrong! And when I say wrong, I mean very, very, wrong!”
History FallsReturn The TARDIS voices its dislike of traveling through the fabric of the very multiverse with a series of cranking noises, and explosion noises. The Doctor consoles it as he runs around the console, “Come on, we have to get back. You can survive this, yes you can.” It responds with another crank, “Oh, come off it, you aren’t doing this all your own! You had a portal opened for you by Survivor, a powerful portal might I add!” I cling onto a pole as much as possible. I’ve become to used to wearing the Ring, I find it hard to keep my balance on here. Why doesn’t my poise skill cover this? I shout at the Doctor, “Is this supposed to happen!? You’ve been using the TARDIS for two months without complications, why is it bad now!?” He runs around, “We weren’t going through the fabric of existence before! Other than that, I have no idea. There shouldn’t be any barrier.” He takes down a screen, and looks at it, “There is chaos magic forming a barrier to stop any outsiders from getting in. That’s why. We can’t bust through that using just space.” He starts to run around more, “What does that mean?” He flips switch after switch, “That barrier can’t be burst though using just our kinetic energy. The TARDIS is good, but not even it can travel fast enough to break that barrier. So we add on Time Energy to our kinetic, so it will be like multiple TARDIS’s breaking in at once. One TARDIS can’t do it, but multiple can. Take our time energy so we attack with five in a single second to get through the barrier! I think.” I shake my head, “You think!?” He flies around the console like a bat out of hell, “This is the first time I did this, okay!? I never had to take magic into account, so it’s an unknown variable. I have never had to use time energy to increase force before. This is the first time this has happened, and I’m a pony no less. I do not know the consequences from using time energy. I don’t know if this magic can be broken. I don’t know, and I love it!” He wraps a hoof around a final switch, “This is going to be dangerous!” I smile, “It’s like you said! I don’t know, and I love it! Let’s go!” He smiles, and laughs as he pulls the switch, “Geronimo, Kendrick, geromino!” I laugh along with him as we go hurtling into the barrier. The feeling made is near impossible to describe with words. It felt like you existed fifty times at the same time, all fifty of you inside of each other thinking the same thing. It’s like every cell and microscopic organism on you all exist two times over, each one of them existing two times over again. My ears heard every sound made in my entire body, and it was deafening hearing fifty hearts with fifty ears hearing fifty barriers fall and cells producing ATP and to hear your left and right brain argue as if they are their own people. My eyes saw themselves, an infinite loop of me looking into my own soul fifty times over. I felt my cells, the oxygen I breathe and the water I produce, the bacteria and bugs too tiny to see, every atom of my being times fifty. I smell the fabric of reality. I taste the colors, red, blue, green, pink, even some that haven’t been discovered! Then, it all ended. My senses return to normal, and I feel almost cheated. Then, I see the door of the TARDIS blown open, flying into the Equestrian sky. The TARDIS is burning quite a lot, and with the doors being gone, I can see Equestria from a bird’s eye view. The Doctor springs to the ground, “Kendrick, hold on!” I grapple the pole with even more strength as we go through a random mountain. I hear squawks of pain, “Doctor, I think we hit a Pegasus!” He grips hold of something, “Collateral damage!” We start to slow down, but still move quite fast. I see Canterlot approaching quickly. “Brace for impact!” I hold on with all my might when we hit the ground. We don’t bounce, just travel on until it stops. I let go, and stand up. Looking out the door, I see a trench cut through the Canterlot Gardens from our decent. I take a step outside, and look at the state of the TARDIS. On fire, and pouring out smoke. The Doctor comes rushing out, leaning on a tree and coughing heavily. I sigh in relief, “We made it. We made it!” We rush together, laughing our excitement, “We made it!” Then, he looks at the TARDIS, “Oh no, not again! This is going to take a week to fix at least!” I’m about to say something. But I’m interrupted by a female voice from behind me, “And where the hell have you been?!” I turn around to see someone blue, crystal like, and female, “Karma.” She walks up to me, gets right up in my face, “Do you know how long you were gone?!” I shake my head, “No.” She leans back, “Dang, I hoped you did because I forgot.” She leans back in, “It was a long time, okay! Everyone thought you had all died! Ditzy and Dinky Doo mourned you, they cried for months! Not just you, but the Doctor as well! Max has gone missing after the Elements were used on him! I was worried, Kendrick! My champion on this world! Just hopped into a box and disappeared for about a year! I thought you were dead! Do you know what that did to me!? I feel like your mother, saving you from death and giving you powers like an adopted son, loving you! Then you just disappear into nothingness!” I lean back a bit, “I offer my face up for slapping, if that would make you feel better.” She looks right at me, before laughing hard, “Oh, that’s wonderful. I couldn’t do that. Your like a son to me, I can’t just slap you for personal pleasure.” I hold out my arms, “I offer my body for hugging, if that would make you feel better.” She accepts the offer, “I’m just glad your back. Be careful, I worry about what will happen in the near future. And you are to tell me before you go off to save the multiverse next time!” I smile, “Of corse.” She breaks the hug, “Now, I’m sure Celestia will want words with the both of you. Good luck with that.” She disappears. The Doctor blanches at her words, “Celestia is coming?” I turn to face him, “Run?” He nods, “Run.”
Final FoeRun “In the name of Equestria, stop!” My long legs are a blur of motion as I run along. The Doctor looks back at me, “Faster, Kendrick, faster!” I pant for breath as I run along, and look behind me. At least ten guards are chasing after us. Another pony in the distance flies up into the air, and takes off after us at subsonic speeds. Oh shit. I look forward again, only to see the Doctor trip, “LEGO trap!” I see him shout out in pain as he grasps his hoof, and try to slow down. At my speed, it’s impossible. My armored boot finds itself above a lego, stepping down upon it. Even with the steel plating and enchantments on that boot, I can feel the LEGO find it’s way into my foot. I trip in place, and land on more lego’s, that also hurt a lot, “Ahhhhh!” I land on top of the Doctor, and go rolling off of him. He smacks the LEGO’s away from him, “That is surprisingly effective!” The subsonic pony lands next to us. Rainbowish hair, white coat, horn and wings. Aww shit, it’s Celestia. The Doctor looks up at her, “Hello Princess, fine day we’re having, isn’t it?” She looks at the both of us, “Well, I do suppose it is fine weather, my Pegasi have made a truely brilliant day. What wasn’t so fine was seeing two ponies running from my guards, and a trench through my gardens. But, seeing that blue box has helped things out considerably.” The Doctor and I exchange glances, before he speaks again, “What?” She smiles, “Seeing at your face, surpise, and general tone about you, I assume this is the first time we’ve met. Something old, something new, Doctor. You are looking different from the last time I saw you.” He slightly smiles, “Oh, so you know me? Good, good, I don’t want to anger the god of the world. See, what happened there was beyond my control. Now, I’m sure me and my human have something to do...” She looks directly at me, “Oh yes, you two always have something to do. Now, I do recall hearing from my fellow Princess about her meeting a new friend. A raggedy old watchmaker with a human. A scientist. I remember hearing naught about that for near a few months now. Something you did, Kendrick, or was it the Doctor?” He clears his throat, “Well, you see, Kendrick is-“ She interrupts, “An extraterrestrial intelligent human who is quite the pleasure to talk to.” I smile behind my helmet, before stopping through nervousness, “I don’t know about that second part, but yes.” She nods, “Oh, no need to be so humble. I’ve had many conversations with you in the past, found you a great speaker. Luna seems to think so as well. Talks of how she became friends with somepony in Ponyville, and didn’t expect me to do some snooping.” She smiles, “It is so fun to tease my dear sister. Even if today isn’t much fun at all.” I stand up, making sure to dodge the LEGOs, “What’s happened?” She sighs, “Max has gone missing, and Twilight is worried out of her mind. He was waking in the gardens, and just up and vanished. Now I have to decide wether to look for him or console Twilight.” I look towards the Doctor, and we mentally agree upon the same action, “You comfort her. We can look for Max. I have to apologize to him as well.” She nods, and smiles with nostalgia, “Every time you two are around, something bad happens. With Max missing, and you two showing up, I fear for the worst. But you’ll solve it, you always do. Good luck.” I nod back, “Good luck.” She flies off, and I help the Doctor to his hooves. We haven’t left the gardens in their entirety, only having ran for thirty seconds. The shrubs around us are thick, and Max could be in any of them. The Doctor gets up, and brushes dust off his coat, “Well, that was something that happened.” He puts his back to a nearby bush, “Well-“ His words are cut off by a club to the back of the head. A human stands there, holding the offending club. I instantly draw the Ugikatana, and point it at him. He puts his hands up, “Come?” I look at him in a mixture of shock and excitement. He spoke, “You speak?” He backs up slightly, “Come, see. Follow.” I slowly return my sword to its sheathe, “Follow where?” He looks at me intensely as I put away my weapon, “Den, follow. Not pony place” I point at the Doctor, “I’m taking him with me.” He shakes his head, “No pony come. Den no pony place.” I cross my arms, “It’s either both of us or neither of us.” He crosses his arms back, “You come, no pony.” I shake my head, “That ain’t happening. I won’t come without him. You say yes, I go willingly. You say no, I won’t go. You try and force me, the only thing going back will be your head.” The guy stares at me, before relenting, “Bring pony then. Follow.”
Final FrontierHumans I follow the human through some caves right under Canterlot Castle, “Nice caves I guess. This what you take me to see? I like the style, but the sight ain’t worth it.” He shakes his head, and points forward, “Den ahead, you see.” I shrug as we walk through another opening, “I don’t know if you remember how heavy a pony is. Let me remind you, pretty fucking heavy added onto my armor and weapons. So, it better be pretty shitting close. Else I’m gonna turn around and leave you.” He walks through an opening, “We here.” I walk through, “Oh yeah, sure-“ Then I look at the cave. Tents everywhere, humans everywhere, fires. My sarcasm is cut off instantly, “Holy shit, there’s more of you.” He points to a fire, “Go to fire, human not human see you.” I nod to him, “Thanks, umm... Probus.” He tilts his head, “Probus?” I give a thumbs up, “If you need a name, have one that fits.” He looks at himself, “Probus. Name, Probus.” I nod, “Wear it proudly. Stay safe.” He nods back, “Safe, Silver. Will be safe.” I slide down a slope, and stumble into the light of the fire. Three humans sit around it. One of them looks up at me as I slide in, “Careful there, don’t want you injured. Hurt even more, considering all that armor.” I look right at the man through my armor, “Holy shit, one that can actually form compete sentences.” He gets a surprised twitch in his eyebrow, before smiling, “Well, we have another one! Names Dustin Revees. Nice to meet you.” I slightly nod, “Kendrick. I take it your not like the normal humans?” He shakes his head, “We’re from Earth, like you. Pleasure to meet you- why is there one of the ponies on your shoulder?” I look back at the Doctor, and place him down, “Well, I had to carry him somehow.” I settle myself down to the ground as Dustin speaks, “What is he for? Some type of sacrifice? Your captor that you killed?” I shake my head from behind my helmet, “No, he’s a friend.” He looks directly at the Doctor, “You’re friends with one of them?” I nod, “He’s different. Used to be human, well, near human.” Dustin leans in closer, “Near human? How can you be near human?” I sigh, “Right, I may sound a bit crazy, but what I say is true. Dustin, this is the Doctor.” He looks at me blankly, “The Doctor? What does that even mean?” I look right back, “It’s his name. Was torn here after dying, became a pony.” He shrugs, “Well, that makes two within that case.” He tries to look me in the eyes, “Take off you helmet, please. You’re among friends. I like to look a man in the eyes when I speak to him.” I reach up to my helmet, my hands touching the cool silver. I stop there, struggling with myself, “I haven’t taken this thing off for months. It’s... hard to take it off.” He reaches over, and puts a hand on my armored shoulder, “Then take a breath of air with it off. Let the wind go through your hair.” I grasp onto the metal, and slowly lift it away from me. My field of vision is increased considerably, and I feel a cross breeze running through the cave. I reach up to my face, only to feel a scratchy beginning of a beard, and the roughness of my face’s skin. My hair is greasy and dirty, spreading off my hair like a dirty mop. Dustin shakes his head as he looks at my face, “That ain’t the face of the person I’ve been speaking to. Your voice, your words, both speak of a veteran of war, one who has seen too much. Your face is one of a boy, barely even an adult. What happened to you Kendrick? Be proud of your scars, we all carry them.” I sigh, and remember everything, “It started off with me landing in the middle of a forest. Heard a scream, ran off to help. Ended up saving a cute little filly by the name of Dinky, she took me to the town of Ponyville. Doctor found me, brought me in, talked with me. Built a tank, made the Rings, we’re good friends. Got sent to a fighting pit, knocked out and carried there. I teamed up with this guy, Max, another one of us. They sent more and more humans after us... we killed all of them. So many died... but they were animals, we had to. Things returned to normal until Nightmare Night.” Dustin interrupts, “That’s Halloween, right?” I nod, “Dressed as Sauron, had a grand time. Then this... storm appears over our house, no rain but something so wrong. Got sucked into it, went somewhere else. There were guys there. Raven, Slendy, Courier, Avatar, Chem, Survivor. We fought so much, Solare, McBad, Wanderer, Clyde, Jack. Some creatures in suits, like humans, had a kill-on-sight order for us. We lead a rebellion, very outmanned and outgunned. If not for the others, I would have died in that war. If not for Solare, I wouldn’t be here today. There was just so much death, and the enemy were intelligent this time. They would come out with their hands up and we just killed them. No Geneva Convention out there.” Dustin leans back a bit, “You fought a war?” I put my head into my hands, “There was a child in the streets of the final battle. One of the enemies children, and their ungodly machine took aim at them. That was my turning point, I saved the child. They were just a child, nothing more. I took the shots into the back, almost died from that alone. I still don’t know why I saved that child, and yet none of the soldiers. They were just trying to protect their people, they wished no ill will to us. They were slaughtered, like animals. They didn’t see anything wrong with it, I didn’t see anything wrong with it. I was a monster, maybe I still am.” Dustin grasps my metal hand firmly, “Don’t say that, you are not a monster. You are a child forced into a situation beyond you. We’ve all done stuff we regret, but that’s the important part. The difference between monsters and us is regret. If I take a ponies life, I will live to regret it for the rest of my life. If they take my life, the only thing they’d regret is getting blood on them. Keep that regret, and you shall never become a monster.” I look up into his eyes, and nod. I take a deep breath, “We arrived back here, in the gardens, and Probus found us. You know the rest.” I hear footsteps from behind me, rushing up to me. I hear a familiar voice shout out, “Is that who I think it is? Kendrick!?” I slowly turn around, and see a boy there, around my age, “Bill?”
ExperimentRings. “Celebrimbor’s hammer. I must test if it works, Doctor.” I say at breakfast the next morning. “I’m the second richest pony here, other than princess Twilight with her acces to the armory, so tell me what you would need.” The Doctor says, ever helpful. “Mithrel, I need Mithrel. An anvil, and a trip to the nearest volcano.” “Sure, I can do that. What are you making by the way?” “Rings, Doctor, the Rings.” “Can’t say I know what your talking about, but okay.” *1 week later* Getting all the molding was time consuming, just like all of this, but now I just need to hammer them. We are standing in a volcano that was previously a dragon cave, and I start hammering. Clank Clank Clank Raising up the hammer hard, I bring it down as hard as possible. When I strike the Rings this time, I am blasted back by magic. I look back up at the anvil with the Doctor, and see two ghostly people. Sauron And Celebrimbor! They take off their two Rings, and put them over my one ring of power, and hammer one last time. A blast of energy comes out, and can be felt all over Equis, causing earthquakes and tsunamis. New power has arrived! The two turn to me and say, “Use it wisely.” Before vanishing. *2 days later.* Equestria Times. World gathering held in Canterlot! Yesterday, Princess Twilight was said to receive a box of unknown orgines. She sent said box to Celestia, where she found that there were 14 Rings In there, and a note that said. 10 Rings to the world leaders, for peace and prosperity. 7 Rings to the Princess’s and the commoners, both noble and just. 3 to be givin to friends, and those around me. And one, givin to the creator, one ring to rule them all. Princess Celestia says to look for any pony with new rings, so they can find the creator of what has been dubbed, the Rings of Power, for they grant things who wear them power. I read outloud, looking over at the Doctor admiring the power the Ring gives him. The One Ring! Everything is at least 5X more powerful! Author's Note As G-Man once said, “Prepare for Unforseen Consequences.”
Ancients RiseThe Harmonic Blast In a far away universe, Elements are reunited by Champions. The blast across all the universes has many effects. —(Kendrick)— “There are not words in any language that can accurately describe how bad this is!” The Doctor runs around the console, “What is it!?” He stops, and looks me in the eye, “Something we have very, very good reason to be afraid of. The Time was planned out by Time Lord’s past, of every Multiverse! We were told by the Creator Chem himself that this would go off exactly to plan! The Time went so wrong, it’s pulling the TARDIS across more than time and space, but the void between Multiverses! Something happend, or is going to happen that isn’t supposed to happen, and that can only mean something bad!” I feel shook up by his calm panic, “What do we do?” He looks around, “Right now? Grab onto something, and brace as best you can. We will find what’s wrong when we get there, and you and me are going to fix it so the Time can go off perfectly.” I nod, “I will be overjoyed to assist you with this, as a Companion.” He dives beneath something, and looks back up at me, “Why are you still standing!?” *Slam!* The TARDIS doors slam shut, “Get down now!” I dive and grab onto a handrail. *Fwoooshhhh-fwooo- fwohhhhhh- fw- fwo- Bang! Fwoshhh- Thud!* I shake as the TARDIS sounds like it’s being torn inside out, and I feel my everything start flipping. *BANG!* The TARDIS doors fling open, and I take a hesitant step outside. I take a look around, and see we crash landed in a field, in what looks kinda like Equestria, but differnt. I see a man and a pony also standing in the field. Both look off into the distance. I look where they are, and see something that shakes me to the bone. A city on a mountain, Canterlot. And dark grey gunships surround it. That’s the color of the Combine... “This Time has gone far past wrong and bad now.”
