3rd Person POV

Sight returned to Nat in an instant, alongside a quick inhale of air. Blinking a couple times, she was confused as she found herself on her side, on the ground. With barely a sound, she lift herself up and looked around the figure out where she was.

She didn’t see much that would help.

All around her was space. Near the ‘ground’ where she sat was a light fog that got thicker the farther away it was, darkening the distance. All around her looked to be nothing by space, the dark voids being lit up by a multitude of stars, constellations, nebulas and galaxies.

She blinked a couple times, getting her bearings as she managed to get to her feet. It was only when she heard her feet hit the ground that she noticed her shoes were gone.

Along with her shirt.

....and pants....

And underwear.

“WHAT THE HELL!?” The Diclonius immediately crouched into a ball, covering herself as she did, before noticing she didn’t feel anything. She wasn’t cold, or hot, she just felt normal.

“Ok, calm down Nat.” She mumbled to herself. “First, figure out where you are. Worry about your lack of clothes later.” She frowned as she got back to her feet and began walking in a seemingly random direction.

She didn’t know how long she was walking for, but she didn’t let herself get bored as she began to think about her currently situation.

‘Alright, let’s backtrack for a minute. Before I woke up, I was with Twilight, Nyx and Sora at the Tree of Harmony. Twilight put on the Alicorn Amulet, then her magic seemed to resonate with the Tree. After that, there was a large build up of magic, and then I am here.’

With a second to pause, something seemed to click in her head, before she proceeded to facepalm.

“Duh, this is the astral realm.” She muttered. Knowing this, Nat didn’t allow herself to be self-conscious with her apparent nudity, and allowed herself to wander with more confidence. “Alright, so this is the astral realm, then....that would mean-”

“Twilight went Alicorn.” Nat turned to her right as she heard her sisters voice, said girl walking through the hazy fog. Like Nat, Sora lacked any clothes, but she was also in her original child form. Oddly, Nat wasn’t really bothered, just running up and grabbing her sister. “Wait, Nat wai-”

She couldn’t finished as Nat proceeded to smother her little sister with her proud chest. Nat knew what she was doing, but did it anyways. Mostly to annoy her sister. Sora’s squirming continued for a minute before she finally rolled her eyes and stopped, before hugging her big sister back.

Nat smiled as she let the younger Diclonius down as they looked around the foggy area. They began to wander, no knowing where the other two who would be there are specifically.

Sora looked around with a raised brow, before blinking at a faint light in the distance. Tapping her sisters arm, she pointed to the light, earning a smile and nod from Nat. The duo walked towards the area with a slightly fast gate, wanting to meet up with the others and return to Equestria as soon as possible.

Nat and Sora raised a brow as they got close, seeing Nyx standing still, just as naked as the sisters, though she had her fur to cover her. What confused them was that the Alicorn was standing in front of a large orb of magic. It was black, red, purple, blue, gold and white, with all the colours alternating as the magic shifted.

Nat and Sora just walked up silently, looking at the orb with curiosity while already knowing Twilight was in it. Nyx saw them walk up, but stayed silent and smiled as the orb kept shifting.

“I didn’t think I would be here to see this.” The Dicloni turned to Nyx. “Aside from that Cadance mare, I truly didn’t think there would be another Alicorn this generation. It had long since just been me and my sisters.”

“I suppose this is a very momentous occasion.” Nat muttered, just watching the orb her marefriend was within. “Though, she will need to wear an illusion after this to hide any changes.”

“True. I don’t even want to think about how Celestia will react to this.” Sora muttered to her sister.

Nyx nodded, before smiling as she laid a hand on the girls shoulders, carefully dragging them back a bit as she sensed the magic sphere beginning to finish the transfiguration on her descendant.

The orb began to alternate colours faster, the magic within finishing up what it was doing. Nat and Sora took an extra step back as the magic began to pulse. The orb began to shrink, before the magic turned from solid into gaseous, the multicoloured mist quickly beginning to evaporate, before there was one more pulse of magic and the orb exploded outwards.

Nat and Sora had to shield their eyes from the flash, the wind in the empty world making them stumble back a could steps before it quickly died down.

Nat was the first to step forwards as the fog began to clear, making her eyes widen as she got to see her marefriend.

At first Twilight looked exactly the same as before, but as the mare slowly got to her hooves from the ground, a couple things were more prevalent. First was a large pair of purple wings sprouting from her back, the new limbs unconsciously flexing as Twilight tried to get her bearings. Second was something that made Nat blush, Twilight’s chest had grown at least a full cup size. Thirdly, Twilight’s horn had become slightly longer and sharper than before, with the swirling grooves of her horn having a darker, nearly black, tint to the cartilage.

Finally, when Twilight looked at Nat, the latter managed to get a look at her marefriend eyes, seeing that the pupils had narrowed into a slits like her ancestor with a red dot in the centre of her pupil. Nat’s own eyes widened at the change in her marefriends appearance.

“Nat? What’s wrong?” Twilight looked slightly down and blushed. “And why are you naked!?” She then looked at herself. “Why am I naked?!” Twilight crouched, wrapping her arms and wings around herself. The moment she felt her own feathers though, she froze and slowly looked at the pair off wings wrapping around herself.

“Twilight, no freaking out now.” Nat said, carefully taking her marefriend into her arms as Twilight unwrapped her wings. Nat carefully rubbed Twilight’s head, before getting a mischievous grin and lightly rubbed her new wings.

Immediately Twilight’s wings sprang open, her face turning red through her fur as the new pleasurable sensation ran through her body. Sora blushed and turned away, remembering the biology book she and Nat read when they were still in one body and knowing just how sensitive a mare’s wings are.

Nyx eyes went wide at her descendants girlfriend did that right as Twilight came out of the orb. The princess took a moment to try and regain her composure as Nat was smirking at the red Twilight as she carefully rubbed her wings.

“Um, Natali. Can you please stop that for a moment so we can get this over with and leave.” Nyx interrupted, making Nat pout as she let go of her marefriends wing. Twilight barely managed to keep herself on her hooves as Nat supported her. Once she managed to regain her composure, Twilight looked at her wings in awe and confusion, lightly flapping the new appendages as Nat, Sora and Nyx gave her a moment to get used to her new additions.

“Are you alright dear?” Nyx questioned. Twilight nodded as she got herself back together.

“So, I ascended to an Alicorn.” Twilight muttered. “I...I know it was possible from what Nat said about the original timeline.”

“Quite. I didn’t expect this myself, but somehow I knew you would be able to do so. You are my descendant after all, so if anyone could ascend, it would be you.” Nyx said with pride, looking over the new alicorn with a maternal touch. “You really look like my daughter you know.”

“Heh, I guess your genes are strong.” Twilight replied as they duo shared a quick hug.

“So, how do we get out of here?” Nat questioned as the duo let go of one another.

“Well, there should be an exit nearby that will take us back to the castle. We will have to go through some of Twilight’s memories first.” Nyx said, but Nat didn’t believe that second part for a second.

“Do we need to?” Nyx looked back and forth quickly, before sighing with a small smirk.

“Alright not really, I just want to see my descendants adventures.” Nyx revealed. Sora and Nat rolled their eyes with matching grins while Twilight fondly shook her head before turning to her ancestor.

“Lead the way granny.”

“Don’t call me that!”

The quartet all laughed as they made their way through the area. Not long after they began, what appeared to be several screens appeared above them, each screen showing a scene from Twilight’s life in each screen. Nyx was particularly interested as she made sure to glance at nearly all the screens they past to see her great-something granddaughters adventures.

Nat smiled with a small blush as she saw the screen showing the first time she met Twilight, the blush coming from just how close the two of them were when Twilight fell on her.

Sora smirked as she saw her sister and Twilight go on a couple of dates after they returned, making mental notes of things she can use as teasing or blackmail material.

Nyx smiled, then grimaced as she watched Twilight, Nat and Sora’s first major Displaced adventure, especially when she watched the mare go through physical therapy. All the while, Nat stood beside her, making her truly thankful for the Royal Diclonius. Her last descendant was in good hands it appeared.

The four spent another couple of minutes walking through the halls of memories, many of them causing them to smile as they remembered themselves what they went through. Once they reached a certain point, they stopped. Near the end was the most recent memories, those of their recent training with Nyx and Twilight’s fight against Trixie.

Past that, was what could only be described as a white Doorway of Truth. The white stone making up the door had purple stained glass near the top, acting like a window to the outside. It had many names engraved on it, the clearest being those of Twilight’s family, the other Element Bearers, Spike, Nat and Sora and higher up, barely in sight were the names of the other Displaced they have met like Adam, Simon and Edward.

Nyx placed a hand on Twilight’s shoulder, before noticing Nat looking at the door, then her hand with a curious expression. Nyx, Sora and Twilight looked where she was looking, and saw what appeared to be a black keyhole on the door.

“Why is there a keyhole on the exit?” Twilight questioned. Even Nyx looked confused.

“I am not sure. The Astral Plain tends to shift and change depending on the individual who comes in. The doorway is clearly meant to represent you Twilight, but I am not sure about the keyhole.” She turned to Sora. “Can you think of anything dear?”

“I got nothing. Or, at least, I can’t really remember. There is something, just on the tip of my tongue that makes me think I have an idea, but I just can’t figure it out.” The youngest person in the room stated, scratching around her horns to try and think. “Nat can you-” Sora stopped as she saw her sisters expression. It had changed into one of realization, then to determination very quickly.

Nyx and Twilight raised a brow each as Nat simply held her right arm out, fingers spread and took a breath. Their eyes then widened as what appeared to be pure light gathered in her hand before she closed her hand to grab it. The light darkened until a black handle appeared, a pink and gold cross guard that appeared to be shaped after the winds wrapped around the handle to the back, there it was locked in place with an upside down pink heart at the bottom. The shaft was straight like a blade, mostly being gold with several pink and black details and outlines of handprints. The teeth were standard trio of triangular shapes, with a gold, black and pink outline. What appeared to be a translucent keychain made of glass in the shape of a hand with a pink heart in the centre was connected by an invisible glass chain to the guard.

Nat didn’t react visibly as she swung around the newly summoned Keyblade, but if one were to look into her head, they would see her doing a small excited dance as she summoned the legendary weapon. With a small swing of the blade, the fog around the area shifted away form the breeze, before Nat pointed it at the doorway.

Form the tip of the keyblade, a tiny ball of light appeared, before shooting at the keyhole. The beam of light lit up the keyhole before the sound of old hinges echoed through the area as the door slowly began to open, nearly blinding everyone from the light within. Nat placed her keyblade on her shoulder and looked to the others, who were wide eyed at the suddenness of the act.

“Time to go home.” The trio shook themselves and nodded, walking towards the doorway. Nat glanced back into the astral plain right before she entered the door, and smirked as the memories began to disappear, making it so no one would know they were there.

With that, Nat walked though, allowing the light to encompass herself.

Castle of the Two Sisters
Nat POV

As we appeared in a large flash of light, I was infinitely thankful that the castle was in the middle of the Everfree. I felt my now boot covered feet hit the ground lightly as we appeared back in this reality, now fully clothed to boot. I smiled as I still felt the slightly warm metal of my new keyblade in my hand, while Sora took a second to turn back into her teenage form.

Twilight immediately took her coat off though as her wings couldn’t break the fabric and became tangled up. Once they were released, the mare released a thankful breath.

“Hey babe? You think you can help me here?” I nodded as I took Twilight’s coat and clapped my hands, using some alchemy to make some wing slits on the back for her. I noticed as I hand it back, she still had the Alicorn Amulet around her neck.

“Well, I suppose starting tomorrow I will be going over the ins and outs of being an alicorn my descendant.” Nyx stepped in, before sighing and lighting up her horn. “For the time being I am going to have to use an illusion on you to hide your new changes until you can do it yourself.”

With a flash of her horn and the covering of Twilight in her aura, the mare appeared to go back into a unicorn. But considering she was flexing her shoulders a couple times, it was only a visible illusion. Nyx then frowned before lighting up her horn again and the amulet around Twilight’s neck changed into a blood red choker with the red jewel at the centre.

“There, now hopefully nopony will realize you are wearing that old trinket. Though, I wouldn’t recommend taking it off for a while so that your magic can properly acclimate to the dark and chaos magic stored within it.” Nyx advised, earning a nod from us before I looked up.

“Looks like we should head back. It’s already after two in the morning.” I said, earning a nod from the others.

“We will be upping your training in a few days. For now, try and relax and get used to your new changes dear.” Nyx said as she gave each of us a hug before we headed out. I nodded to her as we made for the exit, using the wind as usual while Twilight lit herself up with her Heavenly Body magic. I barely reacted as my sister hopped onto my back again.

At least tomorrow Twilight’s wouldn’t need to hide while we go to another timeline.
