WHERE

ENTIQUEST~Chapter 1: Where.

People ran and panicked in mutiple directions. And for such a silent Area such as… whatever this place was called, anyone from towns over could tell that It must have been serious.

Armorous tore a tree from the side of the road. He madly swug his head, as leaves scattered along the streets. Small animals scurried out of harms way, as the Merciless monster flung the tree a mile away. His wings spread, as he roared in fury, the puny houses seemed to cower under his might.

Armourous felt pride, powerful… mighty-
"HEY! THAT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY!" The powerful being glared down at this... disturbance. There, he met eye contact with a white-haired ghost, Danny Phantom, and a violet Alicorn. Twilight Sparkle... He snarled. He was going to destroy this nuisance; for they had ruined his moment of power and glory!

Twilight earned a glare from the teen. She sent one straight back. "What? I wasn't going to let him-"
Suddenly, a loud, ferocious roar, which probably overpowered any other sound in existence, had the residents and the ground quivver before him. The Princess winced, barely able to keep airborne much longer.

Armourous gained balance on two legs, becoming twice his size in an instant. Wings unfurled and flapping wildly, ears perked and tinted bright red, claws dug into the ground, while four arms clawed at the air, probably shedding it to pieces. The whirr of wings beat against the still air, as he challenged his nemesis, and prepared himself, and mercy was not an option.

An angry smirk formed on Danny's lips, as his hands instantly lit up with bright, neon green, eyes glued to the opponent. Twilight looked, just the slightest bit wary, but her horn was quickly encased in a firey lavender glow. Unknown to Twilight, Danny had instantly shot off towards the beast, but the Alicorn narrowed her eyes.

His appearance was… familiar. What, with the large size, wings, and four front legs. Her mind scanned over the years, as if a record played in reverse. Tirek, Chrysaliss, Nightmare Moon, The Shadow Pony-- No. No, no… It was all out of order… That couldn't be right…. Who else was there? How could she have forgotten?
Suddenly, Twilight yelped. An ectoblast skimmed over the top her her mane, as it flew over her head and blasted a fair sized hole in the wall of a nearby alleyway. Danny stared at her incredulously.
"Oh! Uh, sorry!" She hastily apologized.

Flying back up to Armourous, she noticed Daniel must have doen some serious damage already. He had more experience than she'd thought. But she was going to end this now. After all, she really needed to get some sleep. Her eyes shut in concentration, blocking out the sound of the battle around her, and the panic amoung the streets. Her body was surrounded in a venomous black color, as well as her horn. The magic begin to overpower her, and strained quietly, in order to keep hold of control.
BUT I AM IN CONTROL

Pitch black eyes flicked open in fright, as every ounce of magic escaped. She didn't know how it happened. But she did know that something… just... wasn't right.

They felt it all melt away.
It was gone.…
It was gone.
What did it feel like?
What…
What was it.
Were these thoughts, that bubbled up inside their head?
Who? Who were they?
They knew no more of themselves much longer.
And now. Now the prophecy was fulfilled.
What… what was it?
What was the prophecy, was it all a lie?
Death taken place, for a life that would tear apart the void itself if they had the power.
Where are You?
Why had they left?
Who's fault was it to blame?
Was it… theirs?
…
And they refused to believe such a… ridiculous tale.
The tale they had told, their very self.
Who…
Who was I?

Black. White. Blinding colors flickered and flashed. The voice… No… it all had to be a dream!

"RIGHT?" Twilight awoken from whatever it was she'd fallen into. Her heart was more than in her throat, she felt as if it was going to burst out of her chest. She glanced up, shakily, as a pair of worried, green eyes started down at her.

"Uh…" He rubbed the back of his neck, eyes darted off in a completely different direction. "It would probably be awkward for me to say anything, but…" he dropped his arm, and gestured to their surroundings. Twilight gaped, and rose to all fours. The Polyverse… she'd always heard of it, but she never thought…

"What? Never been here before?" She spun around, with a confused eyebrow raised, almost amused. Danny found his hand gripping the ends of his hair. "I thought you've been here before?" He squinted awkwardly.
"How would you have been able to travel from one universe to another, anyway?" This was suddenly his burning question the halfa didn't hesitate to ask.

Twilight tapped her chin for a second. "Eh… Teleportation spells, Direct portal transportation?" She motioned to the gadget strapped to Danny's wrist. "Besides, I never had an... Inverse Portal... thingy, anyway. You do know that Equestria is just catching up on technology just now, ri-" she suddenly stopped. "SPONGEBOB!"

Danny winced at her sudden outburst. "You… watch too many cartoons," Twilight opened her mouth to retort, but caught the humorous expression. She rolled her eyes. "Funny," she deadpanned. "…but I seriously just remembered something-- Important!"

YESTERDAY?,
10:37 AM
Tasty's Snack Shack

A well known, bright yellow sponge hummed a tune while he wiped down the counters. Tasty's was busy today, and that's exactly how he liked it. So many characters from so many famous cartoons…. If he hadn't learned any self control, he could just guarantee that he would have just about every autograph. Especially the ones that would soon be sent to elimination.

His expression darkened a bit at the thought.

A few seconds later, somehow over the noise, came the clip-clopping of an overly cheerful Unicorn-Cat thing… Spongebob was a bit surpised when she didn't trot her way over to the counter to have her usual sugar filled breakfast. He shrugged it off, and tossed out the dirty table napkin. He poured himself some coffee, and flipped through a new crossword he hadn't been able to get to yet.

There was a sudden thud at the doorway, causing his coffee to splash onto his book. He quickly turned in his seat, only for his expression to brighten at the sight of his other two friends. Crossword quite forgotten, he flung it at a random corner, and with his now free hand, waved wildly. "HEY GUYS!" He exclaimed, slightly over the sound of music, chatter, and clanging dishes and silverware.

But everything after…. Was a messy blur. Something went down. They all knew it. But it was erased from their memories, as if.

A pounding headache began at the back of the alicorn's head. She shut her eyes, and took slow, deep breaths. When they reopened, her violet irises quivvered.
"W-we're… not going back…" it was barely a whisper, but the halfa picked up on this, eyes shot open. He opened his mouth to argue back, but Twilight shook her head.
"No. Just… trust me," Twilight quirked an eyebrow as Danny seemed to flinch at her words.
"…I just know that there was…. Something…."

She trailed off, and sat back on her haunches, as if in either deep thought or question. It felt like both. Her eyes darted about in the endless teal-green abyss, every portal suddenly worth her attention. Her ears flattened against her head in shame, as she realised she truly had no logical explanation for this. Any of this. A frustrated sigh escaped her lips.

"I… look. Just take my word, okay? I-I know what I'm talking about!" She seemed to suddenly snap, as her body twisted around and stood itself up, without warning. The teen crossed his arms.
"I… I didn't even say anything!"

"How long has it been?"

"Hello?"

Nothing.

"Are you even listening? Do you even know where we're going?" Twilight grunted. The retort at the tip of her toungue was killing her, and for the past few hours, she'd had to hold onto it, like a wild animal, tearing at her chest, fighting to free itself. She bit her lip and exhaled.
"That's it. We're stopping."

The Princess cocked her head.

"What?" She mentally slapped herself for even replying. And that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that he actually seemed pleased with it. She growled quietly.
"I said…" Danny refolded his arms. "I'm not moving."

The scary thing was that he seemed genuinely serious with his decision. His feet firmly planted to the ground… err, whatever ground this was…

Twilight flashed him a suspicious glare, which he returned, and a bit of green visible in his eyes. She raised an eyebrow. He really was serious.
"Stop being so childish." She muttered. Danny smirked. "Huh, I guess you did need to remind me of my age, after all,"

"You're not moving, are you?" It sounded more of a statement.
"Not a muscle."

In that instant, The alicorn's horn ignited, as the halfa's body was encased in a purple glow. Eyes suddenly wide open, he groaned in protest. He certainly was moving. Whether he was doing it himself or not.
