Alex Rider: Universe Shift

Pinkamania sighed as she lead Yasha into town, yelping when she saw the dark figure cross the sun. Tracking it with her eyes, she glared storming back into the office. Storming up to Luna, Pinkimania let out an annoyed huff to get the Princess's attention.

"Do you realize what you've done right?" Pinkimania hissed, glaring darkly at her boss. "You could have put all of Equestria in danger again, with a nightmare curse, again!"

"You abandoned a small child who has no idea how this world works or where he is going, who also has a large curiosity and a traumatic past." Luna retorted turning to Pikimania. There was a short pause before a look of terror crossed there faces.

"We really fucked up, didn't we?" Luna muttered, wincing lightly, shuddering lightly. "I mean neither of them has any idea what they're doing, in a world, they have no idea how it works, and are both lethal weapons." Luna shook her head as a young lavender alicorn walked into the room, her long flowing main trailing behind her. Her dark purple eyes were narrowed slightly, like she knew what was up.

"Hello Luna, Pinkie. What seems to be the issue?" She asked walking up, tilting her head lightly. "Did you see the strange pony that flew over Canterlot?"

"Yeah, Twilight that was my fault. Unfortunately, I was trying to give Alex a bit of an alibi for joining the guard. This alibi included cursing and uncursing him, however, he took off before I could undo the curse."-Luna dropped her head, letting out a small sigh.- "As for Pinkimania, she left a traumatized child defenceless in an unusual environment. We both really messed up, and now we really feel bad about it."

"Oh, hey Pinkie, hi Luna. Look I ran into another princess." Yasha said walking out from behind Twilight's leg. "Wait what did you say about Alex?"

"He flew off after the curse was placed on him. We have no idea what he's planning or where he is going." Pinkimania reported dropping her head in shame. "Admittedly, the most likely place is the crystal empire. However we can not be certain, and it would be unwise to go after him."

"I know Alex, he's definitely going to the Empire, mainly because that's what he was told to do. However, he's not going to use your plan. I think he's going to use the fact that he was once part of Scorpia to get in, then figure out exactly what Candace is doing, then take her down." Yasha sighed lightly, shaking his head. "We really should go after him, make sure he doesn't do something that he's going to regret."

"I agree, however you have to be completely certain that he's going there. We do not want to blow out cover!" Pinkimania sighed shaking her head. "I think it would be a good idea if you got a new name. An undercover name."

"I just got my name back. I don't want to give it up again. Please, do I really need to change my name again?" Yasha whimpered lightly glaring darkly. "Are you sure I have to change it?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry Yasha. You can help pick the mane, but I would suggest a new one." Luna nodded, walking beside Yasha. "You don't have a cutie mark, so we can't go off of that. However, if you have any idea what your talent could be, you can base it off of that. I'm sorry that you had to give up your name for this. But here you don't really meat ponies names Gregrovitch, or Yasha. Heck even your old Yassen name doesn't fit."

"Forest Scope. Forest because of my coat and my scar, and scope because I'm really good with a gun." Yasha nodded smiling weakly. "It's also the name of my fan character. He's a powerful unicorn who lives in the Everfree Forest and protects Equestria with his partner and older brother, Flaming Scope who is a pyromaniac."

"You know what, I'm not going to question it. I mean, I have a human character named..." Pinkimania started only to be cut off by Twilight's hoof.

"Anyways, you should get used to your new name. So from here on out we will call you Forest Scope." Twilight nodded, gently placing a hoof on Yasha's shoulder. "Do you understand Forest?"

"Of course Twilight. I understand fully." Yasha nodded letting out a small sigh. "I'm a bit upset, but I do understand. Also, I will find Alex. I swear I will find him and bring him back so that you can remove the curse."

"Thank you Forest, however, you will not be alone. I am going to come with you. You do not know how to get around Equestria, and I do. I can help you, and that is what I plan on doing." - Twilight smiled gently wrapping her wing around Yasha. - "If you kneed anything, I will be right here for you I promise I will help rais you again."

Yasha nodded dropping his head lightly. Taking a deep breath he smiled, turning to the young princess. "It's getting late, perhaps we could look for him in the morning. I mean, I should probably go to bed. Where am I staying?"

"Oh, you going to be staying in the room next to mine. Follow me alright?" Twilight responded with a small nod, leading Yasha to his room.

The room was large, and Yasha had to wonder why. A large bed rested near a window, dressed in wight. The whole room was light, with pinks, wights and blues. Toys were scattered around, and Yasha noticed a small couch near the wall.

"This is amazing Twilight, thank you!" Yasha beamed, running into the room happily. Quickly he climbed into the bed and soon fell asleep.
[hr

]Yasha was awake early the next day before the sun was even raised. He always was, he rarely slept longer than four hours as that was how his body was rigged. Sleeping longer- or more attempting to- always made him anxious.

Quickly -making sure he was quiet enough to not wake anyone- he snuck out of the castle, and into the city. Looking around, he let out a relieved sigh. He was not the only person- or pony he supposed- out and about.

"Hey, kid? Were are your parents?" The voice startled Yasha, as did the pony. She was blue - Yasha cold only tell by the gap in her outfit, and her main was a rainbow. "Kid?"

"O-oh! I'm sorry! I just!" - Yasha whimpered dropping his head. - "I'm so sorry."

"Hey, why are you being so jumpy. I just wanted to make sure you were safe. I didn't mean to scare you. The name is Rainbow Dash." Rainbow soothed, wrapping her wing around Yasha. "What's your name?"

"Forest Scope. The strange Pony that just took off, that was my brother. His name is Sky Rider." Yasha whimpered, leaning into the hold.

"I am so sorry kid. Why don't you ask..."

"I can't ask the princess! It's complicated alright! I have to do this on my own!" Yasha hissed, horn glowing a bright blue. Rainbow Dash quickly gasped as it slowly turned red, a small dot appearing on her chest.

"Hey kid, look. I think I know what's going on. Look, I'll bring you to the empire under one condition. You let me help. There is no way you can do this on your own." Rainbow hissed gently, forcing herself to take a few breaths. "Not to mention the fact that we have to talk."

"Fine, where to first?" Yasha nodded, but didn't drop the spell.

"How about you don't try to run away from the people who want to help you?" Twilight hissed lightly, storming up to him in a clear huff.

"I'm sorry Twilight, I just. I didn't sleep. I can't. I never can, it's too hard. I remember too much. Now with everything that is going on, with Alex. Well I just couldn't do nothing." -Yasha dropped his head, spell quickly falling. - "Rainbow Dash said that she already knew, and well I believe her. Besides I never told her the entire story, I used a cover and everything."

"We all know, all six of us. We are here to help you Yasha. You just have to let us." Twilight sighed lightly, dropping her head. "Now, why don't we go and meet the others."
