spooky wooky abilities and the hoard of midget reptiles [UPDATED: 7/15/2021]

"Aw, fauk,"

After seeing her raise a single brow at me, I realized I should get up and greet her. Buuuut, I had an egg in my lap and dream or not if something is in my lap I ain't gettin up for shit. Clearing my throat I look her in the eye and attempt a grand introduction of myself.

"Sup," I say as I hold up my upper arm's right hand, and make a peace sign.

Truly remarkable form on my part.

Smirking she returned the look and surprised me by how she spoke. "Your an odd creature to be sure, and by the looks of this place, you are also not of our world are you not?"

Chuckling I responded simply, "you are not wrong, and this 'place' as you called it, is actually an entire dimension of it's own, even if it's in connection through two other dimension's"

"Oh? and what is this dimension of yours called?" she asked me, while giving me a curious look.

"The End, The Shadow Realm, The Void, The Abyss. Call it what you will, but it's a place not for the faint of heart, and it's a place I would call home," It's true, I would often make new permanent bases in The End whenever I could, most likely something in me trying to be edgy but not to cringe levels of edge.

With what I said she lost all warmth in her look, and looked upon me with suspicion.

"So, you hail from the same place I once summoned the Nightmare from,"

Rolling my eyes, and remembering that I'm in Equestria as an enderman. I decide to just come up with a wack ass theory that most likely aligns with my dimensional predicament. Going for it, I attempt to show an image of an endermite with some moderate success.

"Let me guess, you summoned one of these?"

Recoiling away from the shown form, she starts to back away before realizing I didn't summon anything and just showed a memory like image of a realistic endermite I saw on the internet. It looked like a stubby purple grub with one big slit red eye for a face. It also had the angry plankton from spongebob look, given it had one eyebrow contorted into a glare.

"Y-yes, that's exactly what Nightmare looked like, before I made the deal for power with it,"

Dismissing the image, I made a motion for her to sit next me, by both waving her over and patting the ground next to me.

"C'mon, let me educate you on what I know of the little parasites,"

We both sat there and talked for what felt like days, but in a place with no darkness or light. It was kinda a given for that, at first she was nervous and wary of me, but I like to think by the end of our long, LONG discussion. I would say that I probably made a new friend literally over-night, Nyeheheh!

*Deep inhale* anyway, sitting up from my bed I rubbed and blinked my eyes to clear them of the gross, then got out of bed while absentmindedly scratching my abdomen and shrinking down to a 'normal' enderman size. Walking over to the balcony, which I raised the railing a bit to fit my new stature, I leaned on said railing while watching the sun rise.

"I wonder what I should do today?"

Looking to my inventory out of habit of checking if anything went missing, I see my inventory both changed colors and shape. Being it's now a deep translucent blue, while taking on the shape of what I can best describe as a bubbly rectangle. Most likely my terraria and minecraft inventories combined into one, makes me wonder what else I'm capable of.

Shrugging then closing my inventory, I walk back into my tower and close the glass doors I made behind me.

Walking into my workshop at ground level, I grab some spare stone and wood, then make my way over to were the rope bridge is and start to tear it down adding rope to my inventory.

placing the stone-cutter down I turn the raw stone into the required blocks needed to build the stone brick bridge. about an hour later I have the basic bridge across built, making it look nice and fancy with checkerboard boarding, chiseled stone that looked extra nice, and a roof to provide cover from any weather. With some spots for birds to build nests and some vines I added here and there to give it more of an older appeal.

But it wasn't done yet, as I used the last of my stone to make the roof with pillar support. I would also need a lot more to actually make the bridge look as if it isn't just floating there and was actually made by hand, or hoof rather, since ponies.

Picking up the stone-cutter and crafting table I went back to my workshop to put back any excess material on me and put my 'tool' blocks back.

Once I did that I decided to teleport over to Zecora's place and see if I could perhaps mooch some food since I didn't feel like making or growing my own at the moment.

Upon arrival I walked around her hut to see if she was in, she wasn't but a note was one the door saying she's off to meditate in peace. Frowning at the missed opportunity, I then got an idea for both practicing something and getting some food.

Teleporting back to where I was scoping out the little chaotic town before I was summoned, I channeled some illusion magic from skyrim to go invisible, and made my way towards the town once I was able to get it down.

Walking along the sides out of the way of the main flow of the pones, I picked up some bits on the way that were dropped or forgotten about here or there. by the time I saw that Apple Bloom was sitting next to Applejack looking a little downtrodden, I had picked up about 200 bits worth of the little coins. Getting close I got down on the ground out of view behind a couple carts, then released the spell and took a breather before I tired to get her attention.

Tapping Apple Bloom on the pony equivalent of a shoulder, I saw her eyes open a bit then she turned around and saw my hand. Her eyes widened even further and a smile appeared on her face, then she calmed herself down and looked back to see her sister was busy for the moment. Sneaking away to were I was, which was eye level for her, she started to excitedly whisper at me.

"Howdy, Conner, it's been awhile since you ran off, wha' happened about that anyway, and why are you hidin-,"

Chuckling at the little one, I tried to answer her while trying to also keep her from asking a lot of unneeded questions.

"I'm hiding because I'm scary to most folks, also because they saw me running from Celestia as she chased me through town. I kinda wanted everyone to calm down before I came back and tried to make amends,"

My voice in this form being naturally quiet allowed me to not need to whisper and yet only Apple Bloom would hear me.

"Also how much is one of those pies, just wondering,"

"Oh, thar about ten bits each, also when do you think you could visit me and the girls? We've been a mite bit worried about ya. since ya up and disappeared on us,"

"Eh, no worries, I'm guessing today is Saturday and that's why your here with your sis at the market,"

After she answered me, I handed her twenty bits and asked her if I could get two pies, then told her to sit back next to her sister and watch the show as I distracted Applejack long enough.

Walking back to her sis and sitting down next to her, she waited for 'the show to begin' as I put it. When she sat down and the previous customer left, which was derpy as a side note, I fired up my magic and decided to mess with the apple pone.

Applejack was having a good day so far, she was making a lot of bits and as she looked over to her little sister. She seemed to be looking for something with an eager grin, which was weird since she was all mopey not too long ago. Then she saw her eyes widen when she looked to the left of Applejack and gasped a little. That's when she felt her hat leave her head and saw a purple glow to her right.

"I'm ApPljaCk, HowDy hoWdY HOwdY,"

The strange appleation was a facsimile of her, and was just a glowing dark purple head and hooves with her hat on it's head, all the wile doing a creepy hallow imitation of her voice.

If a person from a place of pocket monsters would see this event, they would think it's a ghost type from a different region.

"What in tarnation!?" Snorting, she was very angry at seeing this monster have her hat on it's head, and mocking her as well!

When she actually decided to try and get the ghostly nuisance, it easily zoomed around her spooking more ponies as she chased it, but soon it started singing a very odd and annoying song.

Looking away from my work, I saw that Apple bloom was laughing heavily, along with some other foals in the crowd watching the show of Applejack trying to hoof my little creation in the mouth.

Sneaking up to the little apple pony, I boop her snout to get her attention, stopping her laughter and causing her to sneeze cutely.

"The pie's if you could?" I say while holding out my hand.

"Hehe, right right, here ya go pardner,"

Thanking her, I quickly put the pies in my inventory and put my invis spell back on. As I made my way back to my base I instruct my little ghost horse to do one final thing before I teleport back to the Everfree.

Popping into existence within walking distance of my new ancient castle with a vwarp sound. I start making my way towards my workshop while eating a slice of pie and fucking enjoying it. The stuff was like pure ambrosia for my taste buds, all the while they're individually singing hallelujah to the heavens, or something like that anyway. Stepping into my workshop I collected 'some' torches, and by some I mean two stacks because fuck you I don't want zombie pones again.

That's right I said 'again', it happened once because I can apparently see in the dark just fine, so I thought I would be fine just not placing torches willy nilly like I would usually do, but then I heard groaning behind me and when I turned around, three zombie ponies apparently spawned behind me while I was picking up and putting stone blocks in my inventory.

Long story short, never forgetting torches and never in small amounts again.

After making several trips into my mines and back to the workshop to depot the stuff and putting iron, copper, tin, and coal into my auto smelters to well...smelt. I continue to mine only using an iron pick to mine the coal and just picking up the rest with my endy hands. Placing spruce log supports with accompanying fence posts acting as connectors and spruce planks as gap crossings.

I'll work on the mine-cart system later though, cause right now I just entered a what looks like a highly primative mine shaft, and from the looks of it. Someone was here earlier sense right now I can hear voices down the tunnel, which from the looks of it, was abandoned, more than likely cause no one was finding anything they wanted. Although there are still plenty of ore in the walls but there is also some empty pockets, hmmm how particularly odd. The tracks have seemed to stop about five feet away from were I entered this tunnel in the first place. Shrugging I just follow along the tracks and the tunnels slowly but surely getting closer to my goal of finding out what the frick that noise is.

As I walked along the tunnels I picked up plenty of ore and coal, I even found some redstone surprisingly. After 'pocketing' another ore block in my inventory I finally reached the place were the noise was coming from and what I saw enraged me.

Diamond dogs...wait, no these one look like actual wolves waling on two legs, some ponies and an absolute hoard of short reptiles, I decided to call the reptiles kobolds because I'm a total nerd about these type of things. Anyway I'm getting side tracked here.

The why of my current rage was due to the fact that all these creatures are wearing collars, chains, and all of them looked malnourished.

Basically all the signs of slavery, now the thing is about me and slavers is that I see still walking corpses that haven't tried the tide pod challenge. Essentially I see something that shouldn't live anymore, and that's what I decided what to do to the one in charge.

Walking in I quickly turned into my four arms form and summoned four very unique weapons.

As I walked closer to the what I heard was load arguing between two people, none of the slaves looked up at me or seem to even noticed me as I walked even closer to the arguing.

But as soon as I entered the huge ass room that contained basically a bunch of cages stacked against one wall with four creatures being in this order from left to right being, a griffin, a brown earth pony with a light brown mane that's wearing a vest, a tall and lanky purple dragon with a series of black scales that make him look like he has a zig zaging moustache, and in the final cage is....the fuckin zoologist from terraria...this is juuust great.

I really hope that you know I saying that last bit sarcastically.

Another thing about this huge room was that it essentially had all the armored diamond dogs and some un armored ones from that one episode all just watching the current argument. The two arguing is the lanky purple dragon and the other dragon in the room, the one sitting on the hoard of gems and gold. He is basically the opposite of lanky in the cage. As this dragon had the same zig zaging scale moustache as the purple one, but that's were the similarities end. The gold one is short and very fat and even I can smell his sulphur like scent all the way over here behind a wall of bipedal dogs in crappy iron armor.

By the time I finished analyzing the room I only heard the final retort of the purple one.

"-SO YOU ARE NO LONGER MY'A BROTHER YOU'A MONSTER!" he screamed at the fat one with a nasally and betrayed voice.

It was about this time that I decided to make my presence known to this lot in the room.

"So, fat one, are you the one that enslaved all these people?" when I finished speaking both he and every other creature in the room turned to me slightly angry, except those in the cages, their faces held surprise instead.

"How did you'a get in here?! wait what'a are all of you standing here gawking for!? GET HIM!!!" as he said that, all of the dogs around the room fumbled for a second before charging right at me. Their hesitation was enough for me to put one of my knuckle blades away and pull out a special whistle, specifically a dog whistle.

as a note here, I made this whistle originally to drive off a pack of timber wolves nearby, it worked quite well on the fuckin things.

Inhaling as much as I could, I put the whistle to my mouth and blew into it as hard as I could, however I never heard a sound from it, but these dogs certainly do. Especially since they all as one dropped their weapons and fell to the ground pawing at their ears trying to drown out the painful noise as much as they could in a situation like this.

After holding it for more than a minute I stopped to take a breath and give the dogs a warning.

"Leave now and you will never have to face the full sized version of this!" I say dramatically while holding up the whistle no bigger than a dry erase marker. They all started whimpering and ran away from me all the while the fat dragon on the pile of gold and gems is yelling at them as they start yelping about a black demon with a head exploding tube of pain.

"YOU'A USELESS MONGRALS! i WILL HAVE ALL YOUR'A FURS FOR'A THIS!" turning to me he glared his tubby scale brows at me, "As'a for you, I am going to burn you alive for ruiningg my gold mine! ROAR!"

When he finished roaring at me, he took to the air and flew at me at surprising speeds for someone that fat. Putting away the whistle and putting my knuckle claw back on, I teleport away to his right when his fire breath got close enough to me. To everyone still in the room they thought they saw this brave creature just get burned alive, until they saw me start running right at tubby here from my teleport.

After getting a running start I jumped into the air and sunk my upper arms knuckle blades into his leg, it was oddly a lot easier to do thanks to these insanely sharp titanium blades on them. Anyway after the blades sunk in as deep as I could get them I pulled the fatty down with me and slammed him into the ground, HARD.

I pulled out my blades and flicked the blood on them away then I slammed my left foot into were his knee ~~is~~ was, earning a very painful scream and him cursing at me about how he's going to do a bunch of quite frankly gross stuff.

I simply ignore him and jump onto him while raising all four of my hands before pressing a button on the side of the handle where my thumb can easily reach. The sound of the retracting blades shut him up as he looks up to me to see all four of the knuckle blades have now been turned into knuckle dusters.

It was about this time I started slamming all four knuckles dusters into his face at a slow beginning pace. Which sped up into a rapid repeating pattern of upper left, lower right, upper right, lower left. All into his face before he could launch a fire breath attack.

Every. Single. One. of my heavy handed blows landed, and I quickly entered a haze. I hadn't even noticed that I gathered a crowd just watching the death by beating going on.

it wasn't until I broke the block under were his head was when I snapped out of the haze of rapid strikes and heavy breathing. But when I did I just looked at my blood covered hands until one of the slave kobolds handed me a couple dirty rags.

"You have saved our lives and we are eternally grateful," he and several other kobolds behind him said at the same time.

Sighing heavily I just cleaned my hands as much as I could, put away my weapons and shrank down to my smaller form. As I looked around the now celebrating slaves, I started helping with removing the collars and chains and showed them how to do it themselves and soon all of them were freed and started helping each other. Soon they found the food and water stores, and started to ration them out to help themselves get better.

After originally teaching a couple dozen how to remove their shackles I walked over to the four in the cages, all of them looking at me with slight apprehension. Speaking up I decided to ask them a question while I worked on getting them out of the said cages.

"So, how was your guys day?"
