Six new Yokai, Mystery Girl, Prisoner, and Meanwhile in Equestria

Tamamo no Mae looked down into the churning, bubbling vats as the tengu and her thralls worked to finish everything before the ritual was completed. She watched as the other tengu and the few nekomatas she had brought began the last part of chanting the spells while Tomoyo and her team monitored the sensors to the additions they had added to the six corpses inside of the vats and checked one last time to make sure the souls were still bound to the bodies for when they were brought back. At Tomoyo's signal she called all of her thralls to the top of the vats and watched as each and every single one slit their own throats and fell into the vats at the exact moment both the the last word was chanted and switches were thrown flooding the vats with electricity. She couldn't help but grin as she watched the liquid evaporate at a much more controlled rate than lightning ever did as humanities creativity once again would prove to be their folly.

As the levels of liquid dropped she thought of the old days when lightning might bring just one out of hundreds back as a yokai, but now it was a much safer and more controlled version that was about to bring back the exact number they wanted. Even the alchemical brew in the vats were now more exact and precise than they had been in the past. Then there was the additions, humans dreamed of augmenting their bodies with metal, but they lacked the magic to work around what their current technologies couldn't do. These six would be just the first amongst many 'Cyborgs' powered by magic and their own souls. For this alone human kind would pay any price for, at least until they realized that these six were also now immortal and would never grow old or sick or even die.

She watched with glee in her eyes as Glenda and Gabby emerged from the liquid first, their heads partially encased in metallic helmets that were permanent and would control their more psychotic natures through direct applications of orgasmic pleasure and unspeakable agony to the pleasure and pain centers in their brains with just a press of one of the two little buttons. She watched as their metallic claws began twitching as they took their first breaths and the restraints holding them began to groan from the strain, but they held. She looked over their now bulging muscles that hid the armored steel plates and reinforced bones underneath, giving them the ability to soak up damage as if it was nothing. She smirked as the first technician pressed the agony button and Gabby began screaming in pain after trying to bite him, they would learn very quickly to know their place at her feet.

She then looked over at the only two who had volunteered and watch as Dr. Stygian was surrounded by shadows before disconnecting himself from the monitoring equipment and then disappearing and reappearing next to her. "My Lady, this is more than I ever dreamed of. To finally have a young body once more was all I ever wanted, but I am truly in your debt for this and am glad to pledge myself to your cause."

"I'm with the Doc, they can keep their retirement package if working for you means I'm young and strong again." Shadowfright said as he flowed out of the vat and took on the vague shadowy shape of his former self.

"Trust me gentlemen, there is much more to be had than just better bodies." Tamamo no Mae told them. "The world itself will come crawling to us for all this and more. Serve me faithfully and you will have more than you ever dreamed you could possibly have in a hundred lifetimes."

She then turned to look at the last two as Tengu led Shadowfright and Dr. Stygian away to do a medical check up on them. She watched as Zephyr Breeze's body became ethereal and was flowing into the cables attached to it. She watched the glowing cables as his mind, body, heart, and soul flowed along them and into the mainframe that would hold him until he could be moved to where he would be partially released into the internet, while being kept on a tight leash, so he could cause mayhem and keep the authorities occupied while delivering messages and information packets to every country on Earth. She had had the tengu technicians put every safe they could, including the fact that if he did anything she did not like the thermite in the mainframe would turn it into a molten puddle of metal and take his soul and life force with it. Out of all of them he was by far the most dangerous and was bound with as many chains as tightly as possible to the mainframe.

She had been about to ask for status update on his containment when she heard the shattering of the metal bindings in the last vat. Turning her breath caught in her throat as the tall lithe figured shot out of the vat and landed next to Tomoyo. Her wing span alone had to be 15 feet and she stood well over 7 1/2 feet tall with long purple hair with orange feathers interspersed through it cascading down her bright orange back. She had been the late comer to being converted and had only minor cybernetics, but some how the few glimpses of the enhanced nervous system showed it had been integrated into her body in such a way that it looked organic like a living metal tattoo along her arms, legs, neck, face, and body. that brought her hands and feet to her attention, from the elbows and knees down was bright yellow and ending in razor sharp talons at the end of her fingers and toes with a sharp talon coming out of the back of her feet as well. Some how her feathers on her wings had taken on a sharp glowing metallic orange and purple look. Tamamo no Mae reached out and felt the shear power rolling off of her and realized they had actually created a true Daitengu. She then looked at the vat she had come out of and saw the metal table she had been laying on had the outline of her wings where she had pulled the metal in her feathers from. Not only that but all around the vat she could see plain rock where she had pulled the extra magic she had needed from The girl's clothing she had been wearing had been replaced repeatedly, but her transformation had shredded even that and what little remained barely held back anything for the imagination.

As she stood there trying to figure out how this Scootaloo could be a true Daitengu as Tomoyo led Scootaloo over to her. The tengu were now bowing to her as she passed them because they knew she what she was. But that brought a new question to Tamamo no Mae's mind, Daitengu's always had a mountain they were connected to on a spiritual level, where was her's? or did they find their mountain's after becoming one?

"My Lady, Tamamo no Mae, I am proud to introduce the first true American Daitengu ever, Scootaloo." Tomoyo said before turning to Scootaloo and saying. "Scootaloo, this is our, and now your, benefactor, Tamamo no Mae..."

"My Lady, we encountered unexpectedly heavy resistance and were forced to flee..." Another tengu said as he ran up to report only to stop when he saw Scootaloo.

"You!" Rarity yelled from another entrance as soon as she saw Scootaloo. "What are you doing here and how are you now an adult?" She demanded as Tamamo no Mae felt the beginnings of a headache. Looking around she saw Aloe and Lotus coming towards her with a letter and felt it become a real headache.

The girl grumbled as she pulled her hood back over her head, pulled the bandanna back over her mouth an nose to hide them, and put back on her sun glasses. She wasn't to sure what an ANTIFA was, but apparently the so called patriots at the U.S. boarder thought she was one and now they were all dead. The Mexican family she had crossed with had fled as soon as they could and with luck would make it to where ever they were heading. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out a notepad and turned the page before reading:

The last of her kind shall cross into the land of plenty and meet those with hate in their hearts and evil in their souls.
Her gaze shall still them and leave them as a reminder of to all that follow their path.
She shall find one of their horseless horses and ride towards the city of the gateway where she shall aid allies from a far.

"Can't you three ever give me something less cryptic?" She asked out loud before looking at the next page:

NO!

Giving up, she looked around and soon found several ATV's and dirt bikes with the keys in them. "Well at least the jerks didn't leave me high and dry." She quickly grabbed two gas cans from one and put them on the best bike there before grabbing a canteen and taking a drink. She then rode away leaving a mystery of why someone would put up statues of heavily armed men at the boarder for the boarder patrol to ponder over.

Toshi and the Kama Itachi sisters moved through the shadows as they tried to track an injured tengu through the city, but at some point it realize it was being followed and began trying to evade them and almost got away several times. Originally the plan had been to just track it back to where ever it came from in hopes it would lead them back to where Tamamo no Mae, but now he was ready to just capture it and drag it back to the mansion. "Tsumeato go right and Hotai go left and flank them." Toshi directed as the other two blocked off where the alley way split off into other side alleys. The tengu kept running straight until the alley turned the corner sharply and right into Tataku's baseball bat.

"So do we just hang her off the side of a building Batman style and threaten to drop her if she doesn't talk or what?" Tataku asked as she cleaned her bat.

"I vote we duct tape her to the front of Aria's SUV and go off roading." Hotai said as she held up her roll of duct tape.

"I say we take her home and fix a chicken dinner in front of her while hinting that she's next if she doesn't talk." Tsumeato said with a wicked grin.

"First we see if she has any useful clues in her pockets and then we drag her back to the mansion for interrogation." Toshi said as he searched the female tengu with a bloody bandage where one of her arms use to be. "Many tengu start out as human and live amongst them as human these days. So they often keep the old human habit of shoving things in their pockets... Huh, a business card for a spa with an appointment date on it for this morning." He then looked at the sisters. "Hotai, re-bandage that wound so she doesn't die on us. Tsumeato, you hang out around spas, has she been to one today?"

Tsumeato sniffed the tengu and said, "message oil, cucumbers, seaweed, and mud, yeah she was at one, but there is a sulfur and burning smell mixed in with that. I also smell cave fungus like in the cave near where mom lived."

"Well where ever she has been has crystals because they're stuck in the treads of her shoes." Tataku said while prying out a blue crystal from the bottom of the shoe.

"Well, she'll live." Hotai said as she finished using the purple glowing duct tape on the stump.

"Then I'll call Aria for a pickup." Toshi said as he pulled out a phone and walked to the end of the alley way and made the call.

"So have either of you thought about what we are going to do after all of this is over?" Hotai asked as she sat down next to the tengu. "I mean after Tamamo no Mae is taken care of?"

"Not really." Tataku said as she leaned against a wall. "I figured we would just go back to harassing humans like we did in Japan."

"Like I want to spend all of my time tripping drunk idiots like our mother did with her sisters." Tsumeato said as she climbed up on a trashcan to sit. "I plan to visit a spa and buy a meal in a restaurant since they don't have those annoying little spell charms over here to keep us out. Even going in and sitting down to eat at McDonald's would be a treat compared to eating from vending machines all the time. Imagine buying and wearing clothes that we didn't scrounge from the trash or make ourselves."

"I want to go to school and learn more than a few hundred words we were taught from human signs. I want to read those 'Lord of the Rings' books those movies Sonata told us they were based on." Hotai said. "I want to sit down and read books on healing...So I don't loose you two like we did mom because I wasn't good enough." She tried to hide the tears but her sisters were still there to hug her

"Then... join... the... lady... not... fight... her." The tengu croaked out. "She... promised... us... a... world... with... no... more... hiding."

"Do you really think you will get your utopia where you all will live like kings and queens over the humans?" Toshi asked as he walked back.

Sitting up and leaning against the wall, the tengu changed back to looking human and said, "After all of this is done and over with Tamamo no Mae doing whatever she wants because once they see the truth they will either except us or be left behind by those nations that welcome us with open arms. The poorest nations will beg us for our magic while the richest nations squabble and once our magic turns one of them into a new super power the rest of the world will accept it or be left in the dust. Once we help a nation build a city on the moon and mars in ten years even the hold outs will give in."

Toshi thought about what she had said as he heard Aria pull up and get out. "It will never work, the humans have a spell charm that keeps the Kama Itachi sisters out of a lot of places..."

The tengu just laughed at that, "That's old magic and the Japanese don't even know what it is anymore or how easy it is to counter the 'good luck charm' with a tattoo." With that she lifted her shirt and bra and showed the tattoo just above her left nipple. "A Kijo invented this 195 years ago." She then pulled her shirt back down. "You so called Good Yokai are the ones living in a fantasy world called the past and tradition. You cling to it so hard that billions of innocent people have died for your faith and then call us the monsters when ever we dare try to change the way things are."

"Says the one armed woman who tried to kidnap school children." Aria said.

Forcing herself up onto her feet she looked at Aria and said, "Tamamo no Mae asked for a few hundred children and we were sent out to collect them. We need her, Bobu, and the new one's power and strength if we're going to make this work."

"What new one?" Hotai asked.

"Some local girl, don't know her name, just that she recently gained a lot of power." The tengu said.

"OK then, where is your base of operations at?" Toshi asked. "Also how many Yokai do you have?"

"Not saying." the tengu said. "And by the time you find out it will be too late."

"Then you're of no further use." Toshi said as he unsheathed his sword.

"No." Aria said as she stepped in front of the tengu and here crossbow unfolded as she pointed it at Toshi. "She is unarmed and already a prisoner."

"Her life was forfeited the moment..." Toshi started to say.

"Bull Shit!" Aria said. "This isn't feudal Japan and I'm not going to just stand by and let you commit murder."

"Stand aside or else." Toshi said as he watched her.

"Or else what?" Aria said.

"Or he'll kill you like any human who stands up for one of us." The tengu said from behind her.

"Well news flash, that Bull Shit doesn't work here." Aria said. her aim never wavering even for a moment.

"Stand aside so I can kill that abomination or else I will be forced..." Toshi started.

"Or else what? Lose your head maybe?" Sonata said from behind him with a overly sickeningly sweet voice as Day Ender rested on his neck. "Or have your soul sucked up by my little toy? Or perhaps you should actually have looked when she pulled in since I hopped out to watch the entrance to the alley way?"

"You forget that the Kama Itachi sisters are here and more than even up the odds." Toshi said.

"They're not murderers." Aria said without even looking.

"For realizes!" Sonata add as she removed her axe from his neck. "They totally don't have the eyes that says they have kill in cold blood."

"But we on the other hand have killed so many we could fill an ocean with the blood of our victims." Aria said.

"In two completely different worlds no less." Sonata added, ready to swing if he so much as twitched funny and feeling Day Ender's strings vibrating under her hands in anticipation.

"And you wouldn't be the first Mujina we have had to put down and most likely not the last either." Aria added, "So the big question you should be asking is..." With that she fired as Sonata leapt backwards. The seed at the end of the bolt sprouted in mid air and Toshi soon found himself wrapped up tightly in thousands of vines as Aria spun and shot the tengu with another seed before turning to find Tataku duct taped on the ground and Tsumeato and Hotai sitting on top of her as her bat clattered to the ground.

"Tangle nettle?" Hotai asked with a grin. "Personally I prefer duct tape, more versatile and easier to put a self regenerating spell on."

"We had a rather heated vote and you won 2 to 1 for which side to choose." Tsumeato said as she sat there.

"Fine." Aria said as she folded back up her crossbow and collected Toshi's sword and Tataku's bat and put them in the SUV before helping Sonata load the tengu, Toshi, and Tataku in the back. "Let's go home."

After two hours of chasing Pinkie Pie through the castle Twilight finally got a silly ideal and went to the kitchen and pulled out a cake, casted a spell on it, and put a sign on it that said:

Definitely not a trap!

One minute later Pinkie was stuck to the floor by the super bubble gum cake and yelled, "The Cake was a lie!"

"Yes and also tag." Twilight said as she teleported in next to Pinkie Pie and booped her on the nose. She then watched as the castle was returned to normal and the other princesses were teleported to her location along with Discord, Derpy, Lyra, and Fluttershy.

"I give the guards a B+ on response time and a C- for reaction time, but only for how hard it was to nail Flash Sentry with a pie." Discord said as he held up a picture of Flash Sentry as the M.V.P. "He even out lasted the Wonderbolts, though Soarin doesn't count since he was actively chasing the pies." With that he tossed the picture out the window and got a more serious look on his face. "Now on to our two guests in the library and why I used the quickest method I could think of to summon all four of you here." With that he pulled a screen down out of the air with the image of the other Twilight Sparkle reading a book in the library while her spike slept on the floor. "It seems the other you from the other side of the mirror found a loophole and ended up here as a human. Normally this wouldn't be a problem except if we shove her through the portal she'll exit a pony in the human world and if I send her back she will appear in a random place, maybe even in a wall or 50,000 feet up without a parachute." With that the image changed to a cartoon human Twilight and the mirror. "Which means we need to override the safeties on the mirror so she can pass through as a human and stay a human." The cartoon Twilight went through the mirror and stayed human, only then the portal exploded. "This has the side effect of the portal destabilizing unless two princesses go through as ponies first and all four of you act as temporary anchors on both sides while I stabilize it permanently, but this means the portal will be opened permanently between worlds." With that the screen rolled up and disappeared as Discord pulled out pipe and blew bubbles. "So do we send her to her probable doom and hope she rolls a good saving throw, tell her to run like heck through an unstable portal and hope she clears the blast zone, or open ourselves to the chaos of official interdimensional contact with the next door neighbors who are sometimes violent, but have a soft spot for cute things and ponies would count as cute to them? That is of course if none of you can figure out another way of sending her home."

Author's Note

You didn't think Tamamo no Mae would get everything her way did you? As for the six, Glenda and Gabby might be more powerful now, but they are slaves to who ever holds their remotes. Dr. Stygian and Shadowfright both willingly did it because Tamamo no Mae gave them something money can't buy yet, she really did give them back their youth. Zephyr Breeze is just one sneeze away from having his life and soul turned into a bubbling puddle of slag. Finally Scootaloo is the only one to come out of this ahead of the game with a body Rainbow Dash would kill for. And yes her hands and feet are chicken talons scaled up to human size.

Imagine the damage four of these can do on an angry teen now the size of a professional basketball player with enhanced speed, agility, and reflexes and wings with razor sharp metallic feathers. Oh and Tamamo no Mae had a Basan's entire body liquefied and added to her mixture. A Basan is a 10 foot tall fire breathing chicken from Japanese folklore, so anyone still laughing about Scootachicken jokes better start running now because this Scootaloo is no laughing matter.

Who's this, a new mystery girl headed to Canterlot? She was briefly mentioned in the last story and is on a mission from Fate.

I wanted to do something with the Kama Itachi Sisters as well as give a peons view of Tamamo no Mae's plan and why they follow an obviously genocidal psychopath. To them the so called good yokai are the bad guys and they could careless about Tamamo no Mae's machinations after it's all out in the open. Toshi's attitude didn't really help his sides case. I feel I should also point out that the Kama Itachi Sisters are sort of like the ideal of Id, Ego, and Super Ego, I'll let you figure out who is who.

Mean while in Equestria...
