Fly to the Stars and Back (Redone)
Chapter 37: Water Bubbles
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Finally, back to school.” Rainbow says as Blitz and Twilight walk near her.
Twilight smirks. “Geez Rainbow, didn’t know you like school that much.”
“She is such a egg head, don’t you think?” Blitz jokes.
Twilight giggles as Rainbow blushes. “Shut up before I send you two to next weekend.”
“If she had her wings, they would be poofed right now.” Blitz whispers to Twilight.
Twilight snickers to which Rainbow glares.
“I’m kidding, you look great Rainbow.” Blitz says.
Rainbow clicks her tongue. “Jerks.”
“Keep that up Rainbow and I might get my brother to kiss you.” Twilight jokes.
Rainbow growls. “You guys are honry jerks.”
“She’s adorable when blushing like crazy.” Blitz says.
Rainbow glares and grabs his collar. “Listen jerk, you better tone it done or else.”
“Rainbow, you having a lovers spat or something?” Fire Streak, one of the male wonderbolts, asks.
Rainbow quickly drops Blitz. “No, now get inside and hope those grades of yours are enough to stay on the team.”
“Sorry, I will clear out so you can have a moment with him.” Fire Streak says walking away.
Rainbow huffs. “You better.” She calls to him before turning to Blitz and sees him smirking. “Shut up.”
Blitz motions her closer. “You know that is how my Rainbow treated me for a while.” Blitz whispers into her ear.
Rainbow sighs. “I’m really starting to not get why she fell in love with you.”
Blitz takes off his sunglasses, looks her directly into her eyes and they just stand there for a bit. “Understand a bit now?” Blitz asks, putting his sunglasses back on as Rainbow is still staring.
“Wha…what was that?” Rainbow asks in a daze.
“Like my eyes?” Blitz asks.
Rainbow nods as she reaches for him only for him to walk to the school and Twilight pulls her along.
The classes proceed normally, but in one Blitz noticed one of the Dazzlings staring at him every so often.
“Hum.” He thought to himself as he sat at lunch with the others.
“What’s wrong?” Rainbow asks, her tone different from this morning.
“Take a look at the table over there.” Blitz says gesturing with his head ever so slightly.
They looked over to the table with the dazzlings sitting alone as they all kept looking around, but one stared most at Blitz.
“She has been staring at me for a while.” Blitz says.
Twilight glares at her as Dusk didn’t notice. “This is getting to be trouble now.”
“I’m still open to using explosives on them.” Blitz says.
Twilight turns back to him. “Home, then you can make all the explosions you want.”
“So the battle of the bands starts after school right?” Blitz asks.
Applejack nods. “Yep, don’t want to bother the classes.”
“So they announce any leads on the battlefield?” Blitz asks.
Twilight smiled. “You’re lucky my big brother. At least they are getting stumped and turning to other counties for accusation now.”
“Oh, so then, Twi, I think I will be gone for tonight.” Blitz says.
Twilight looks at him. “You will be there for us soon, right?”
“I will.” Blitz says.
Twilight smiled. “Great and my protection?”
“You got these five, right girls?” Blitz asks.
“Right.” They chorused.
“See.” Blitz says.
Twilight giggles. “Blitzy.”
“It’s Blitzkrieg, little sis.” Blitz says faking his annoyance.
Twilight grins. “Mom doesn’t.”
Blitz gets up muttering under his breath as he walks away.
Twilight giggles. “Love ya big bro.”
Blitz walked down the hall to the gym on his way, running into Spitfire. “Hey.” Blitz says faking a somewhat fowl mood.
Spitfire smiled. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Sister bugging me.” Blitz says.
Spitfire chuckles. “Yeah, that would tick off a brother. Hey listen, Vinyl gave me these for some reason. Don’t know why. She wanted me to give it to you.” She said, taking out a pair of earbuds.
“Thanks, so I have been talking to Vinyl a lot lately. She mentioned she had an ex girlfriend on the wonderbolts, would that be you by any chance?” Blitz asks.
Spitfire blushes. “Shut it.”
“The reason I ask is because I was wondering if you and I had a chance?” Blitz asks, a blush forming.
Spitfire opens her mouth to speak before stopping. “I don’t…maybe…I don’t know honestly.”
“If there is a possibility, it is worth pursuing.” Blitz says.
Spitfire nods. “Yeah, guess that’s true.”
“You mind if I tell you something confidential?” Blitz asks.
Spitfire nods as they enter the empty gym. “Sure, what?”
“To me, sports are fun and all, but I don’t think they are for me. To tell the truth, I am far more interested in science and medicine.” Blitz says.
Spitfire looks at him surprised. “Really?”
“Yeah, so one with my physical abilities is more interested in studying and learning to be a medic. Unusual, isn’t it?” Blitz asks.
Spitfire giggles. “Yeah, it is, but I don’t mind.”
“I assume Soarin has told you about asking me to try out on the next Wonderbolts try out?” Blitz asks laying on the bleachers.
Spitfire nods and sits down with him. “Yeah, I got to make him stop doing that, why?”
“I’m hesitant to do that. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed playing with you guys, but I’m not sure I can put my heart into it like you guys.” Blitz says.
Spitfire nods. “Okay, so what are you going to do?”
“I don’t know, but I have almost fully convinced myself to become a doctor.” Blitz says.
Spitfire smiled. “How about what girl you want?”
“I thought that question was a little redundant after what I asked you.” Blitz says.
Spitfire blushes. “You want me?”
“Maybe, I haven’t decided. After all, such a decision could chart my course in life.” Blitz says looking up at her.
Spitfire looks at him carefully. “And more than one?”
“I’m the kind of guy who thinks heavily on these types of things before pursuing them with all my heart. I also have a good eye for detail. For example, I would say that one of your dreams is to fly.” Blitz says.
Spitfire sighs. “Yeah, at least you are here to deal with things we were going through sometimes.”
“So what do you think is happening around here recently?” Blitz asks.
Spitfire looks around. “Don’t know, but the principles are certainly strange.”
“What about the battlefield near the old church? All that damage and all those bones and yet no one heard or saw anything? Doesn’t that sound far too suspicious?” Blitz asks.
Spitfire nods. “Yeah, it does. Do you know anything about it?”
“Well I did sneak out there to take a look. Found some of the bones. Looked like an animal had picked them clean a long time ago. My guess, they used something like napalm.” Blitz says.
Spitfire sighs. “Well, at least it’s over for now.”
“For now, being the phrase. Makes me wonder, was it really a battle or a mass execution in disguise.” Blitz says.
Spitfire sighs. “Could be anything, but for now, let’s concentrate on our end.”
“Gotcha, also a favor, could you keep an eye out for the Dazzlings for me? I notice one follows me around the place.” Blitz says.
Spitfire nods. “Yeah, I can help with that.”
“Something about those girls doesn’t seem right. You get that vibe?” Blitz asks.
Spitfire nods. “Yeah, it’s weird and heavy at times.”
“And the way they walk around and interact. My first thought was open lesbians but they showed interest in guys as well.” Blitz says.
Spitfire smirks. “Maybe they’re bi.”
“Or possible sexual predators like that new science teacher. She kind of reminds me of my sister.” Blitz says.
Spitfire looks to him. “New science teacher?”
“Don’t ask.” Blitz says.
Spitfire chuckles. “Alright, I gotta get going. Last class is coming up and soon the battle at the auditorium.”
“Isn’t P.E. your last class?” Blitz asks.
Spitfire looks to him. “Got to change.”
“One thing before you go. You talked about sibling problems like you have experience.” Blitz says.
Spitfire chuckles. “Yeah, you can count Soarin as my brother. Not really though. Though he’s still acting like an obnoxious brother.”
“I get the feeling you have a true sibling.” Blitz says. ‘Note to self, get my Spitfire to talk about her family when I get home.’ Blitz thinks.
Spitfire smiled. “Yeah, I kinda do, but she’s isn’t much in my opinion.”
“I’m willing to listen if you want to talk.” Blitz says.
Spitfire sighs. “Maybe later. I got to get to class now.”
“Ok, I’ll see you on the field.” Blitz says getting up and heading to the men’s changing room.
He soon opens his locker and finds his bag full of his armor. “I think you and I are getting closer.” He said putting the earbuds in.
“Want to get closer on our own?” A female voice asks from the end of the line of lockers.
Blitz looks to see one of the dazzlings standing there. “Who are you and what are you doing in the boy’s locker room? You know what, let us drop the act. I know you are a siren.” Blitz says.
Dusk raises an eyebrow. “Wow. You’re good, but somewhat bad. However, do you know what we do?”
“Yeah, but I got a question for you. Why do you hang around those other two when they treat you like dirt?” Blitz asks.
Dusk glares at him. “Shut up. Look, just listen to my song and at least give a crap.”
“You know, you have failed to take something into account.” Blitz says turning on the music.
Dusk tilts her head. “What are you doing?”
“Oh nothing, just getting my 9mm pistol.” Blitz says withdrawing the pistol from his backpack.
Dusk starts backing up. “Wait, what are you doing?”
“Like I said, you didn’t take into account I might be armed. So what if we make a deal?” Blitz asks tapping the pistol in his hand before removing the ammo to inspect them.
Dusk gulps. “Um…what’s stopping me from getting you now?”
“What, I can’t hear you.” Blitz says pointing to the earbuds.
Dusk’s eyes widen. “Um…oh boy.”
“So you’re feeling up to a deal?” Blitz asks.
Dusk kept backing up as Blitz approached her. “Um…well…oh crap…maybe.”
“Ok, tell me how much do you want to go home to Equestria?” Blitz whispers into her ear.
Dusk gulps as she hits the wall. “Um…yeah.”
“What if the deal involved that?” Blitz asks, getting her attention.
Dusk looks at him. “If…I could go.”
“I came from there.” Blitz says.
Dusk kept trying to look behind him and see the many doors. “Um…that sounds good.”
“And you get to come with me back there if you do as I ask, ok?” Blitz asks, putting the gun away.
Dusk watches the gun. “Okay.”
“Alright, first off, ditch the other two after the battle of the bands. Say you’re going on a date. You’ll be with me for tonight. Oh and you’re going to get to feed on negative energy a lot.” Blitz says.
Dusk nods as she tries to move side to side to get away slowly. “Okay.”
“Also, I will say four things now. First, don’t feed too greatly on me as it could end up costing you, second, you best go because this is the boys changing room, third, tell the other two and the deal is off, and finally, you are quite cute.” Blitz says walking away.
Dusk was left still and blushing as he grabbed his bag and closed the locker door and grabbed his gym clothes to which Dusk rushed out before anyone saw her.
“Vinyl, do me a favor and watch her. I don’t trust her.” Blitz says as he starts to change.
Vinyl comes out from the door and hides behind a wall. “Gotcha. But is the deal a good idea?”
“We shall see, but if she happens to start going back on it, you could hypnotise her.” Blitz says.
Vinyl chuckles. “Got it. Want me to bring in my twin?”
“You need someone to attend classes, don’t you?” Blitz asks.
Vinyl grins. “I need to pass my grades anyway.”
“Alright, you best go before the rest of the boys get here.” Blitz says tying his shoes.
Vinyl chuckles. “Alright. Just call us both when they do their show.”
“I’ll be setting a few things up for later tonight.” Blitz says.
Vinyl nods. “We’ll be ready just in case. Remember, we got headphones when they started, okay?”
“You know, I haven’t turned them off. I’m lipreading right now.” Blitz says.
Vinyl chuckles. “Great job. Alright, I’ll see ya later.” She said walking away.
Blitz nods as he heads out to the gym just in time to see Rainbow come in.
“Hey Blitz, how’s it going?” Rainbow asks running over to him.
“Fine, just waiting for the gym to start.” Blitz says.
Rainbow smiled. “You ready for the battle at least?”
“I won’t be able to be there for the qualifying round, but I can be there for the finals for you girls.” Blitz says.
Rainbow smirks. “Good, I don’t think your sis would want her big brother to miss that one when she and her friends wins it.” She said poking his chest.
“Oh, I won’t miss it.” Blitz says smiling at her from behind his sunglasses.
Rainbow clicks her tongue. “And don’t use that eye trick.”
“That’s not a trick. Females usually react that way to me if they stare into my eyes too long. Why do you think I wear these?” Blitz says.
Rainbow huffs. “At least you’re cute.” She said turning away and hiding her blush.
“I look forward to your performance Dash.” Blitz says.
Rainbow growls. “Hate ya.”
“What? I’m sure it will be amazing. I mean you practiced a lot on it.” Blitz says naively.
‘That naivety of his is so annoying, yet it is also kind of cute and endearing.’ Rainbow thinks as other students started entering for the class and Rainbow headed to the girls locker room.
Blitz chuckles at the sour look on her face. “Still cute.” He said before heading to the field and waited for the teacher.
Blitz sighs as he waits for the siren at a mexican restaurant. He checks his watch again as Dusk walks in. “About time. Anymore and the deal is off.”
Dusk rubs her arm. “Sorry.”
“I wasn’t waiting long. You eaten yet?” Blitz asks.
Dusk shakes her head. “No, we don’t eat much.”
“Well order what you want.” Blitz says.
Dusk sighs and sits down as she tries to decide what to eat.
Blitz just sits there as she orders and eats.
Dusk notices him watching and tries to look away. ‘What does he have planned?’
“Tell me how good is your siren manipulating ability?” Blitz asks.
Dusk jumps a little and drops her food. “Um…well, it’s good.”
“I just need it to manipulate two people at max.” Blitz says.
Dusk nods. “And…it depends how strong they are.”
“Normal humans.” Blitz says.
Dusk nods. “Okay then. I think I can do that. I do this and I can go back?”
“After the battle of the bands, yes. I will also let you live at my expense if you want. We have a castle made half out of crystals if you want to live there.” Blitz says.
Dusk gulps. “Um…why?”
“I take care of people in my employ. Did I forget that was part of the deal?” Blitz asks.
Dusk nods and pushes her fingers together nervously. “Um…kinda.”
“Well now you know. You’ll get to live the high life as well.” Blitz says.
Dusk looks at him carefully. “Why?”
“Well I was just thinking you keep working for me when we get home just in case I need you.” Blitz says.
Dusk tries to speak. “Why treat me like this?”
“Why not? I like you. You’re cute and quirky, but I am also cautious too.” Blitz says. “So do we have a deal after we get home?” Blitz asks.
Dusk watches him as she gains a blush. “Yeah.”
“Ok.” Blitz says extending his hand.
Dusk looks at it before taking it and shaking it. “Yeah.”
“Ok, when you finish up, we will go do the job for tonight.” Blitz says.
Dusk nods before going back to eating. After she was done eating she followed him to the docks. “So who do I go for?”
“Oh, your target is on their way.” Blitz says as a car comes into view. “Time for the show.” Blitz says.
Dusk inhaled and started singing and the car soon came to a stop and the driver and a middle aged man with a scar on his mouth stepped out. The two men walk up to Blitz and Dusk and stare blankly. Blitz pulls out a pack of white stuff with a cord and hands it to the scared man. “Have him pull the cord and throw it at the driver when it starts to smoke after we are far enough away.” Blitz wraps an arm around Dusk and leads her away with him.
Dusk kept singing as they walked away and soon after they rounded a building, they heard an explosion from where they left them. Dusk sighs as she stops singing. “So…am I good?”
“You are golden. Now one moment, I have to make a call to the police.” Blitz says getting out his phone.
Dusk waits at the corner as Blitz steps away for a bit and calls the police before her own rings. She takes it out and answers it. “Hello?”
“Police, I think I just witnessed a gang execution.” Blitz says faking a frantic voice.
“Stay on line. We will be there soon. Where are you?” The operator asks.
“At the docks at warehouse number 7.” Blitz says as he starts to assemble two fishing poles.
“Alright, police will be there soon. Stay around and stay on the phone.” The operator said.
“Oh no, I think we have been spotted.” Blitz says suddenly as he plays a pre-recorded gunshot. ‘No one stays on the phone anymore.’ He thinks as he smashes the phone.
Blitz sighs as he looks to Dusk on the phone as well and shakes a bit. “Yeah, yeah, I got him.” Blitz eyes her. “Oh yeah, completely under my control.” Dusk says. “Yeah, okay I will.” She said before hanging up.
“Want to tell me what that was about?” Blitz asks as they quickly move away from the docks.
Dusk looks at him. “They were wondering if I got you yet.”
“I see, so I noticed your amulet sucking in something green. You get any energy from them?” Blitz asks.
Dusk nods. “Yeah. Lots of negative.”
“I think you girls have the wrong idea as high school is low time, manipulate gangsters, they require less work and you get more energy.” Blitz says walking with his arm back around her.
Dusk blushes as she tries to keep some distance. “We also need an army. Those that are young don’t need much effort.”
“But gangsters are armed and have contacts. Those kids most likely have never held a gun before.” Blitz says.
Dusk gulps. “Who said we needed them armed?”
“You want an army, right. What good are they if they are not armed and organized?” Blitz asks.
Dusk looks at him. “They are controlled.”
“So were those two, but enough about, that you can bunk with me at a friends house tonight.” Blitz says. ‘Glad Twi is spending another night at Pinkie’s.’ Blitz thinks.
Dusk shakes her head. “No, I have to head back.”
“Alright. Oh, by the way, you are curious what caused that battlefield and what those bones belonged to?” Blitz asks.
Dusk shakes her head. “No, it’s not helpful to us so there’s no point.”
“Well, I will tell you anyways, the victims were vampires and their thralls and you’re next to the one who walked away after finishing them.” Blitz says.
Dusk shuts her mouth as she tries not to look at him.
“And as such, I will protect you.” Blitz says.
Dusk blushes a bit as she looks away.
“I will see you later. Take care, because tomorrow night, you go home.” Blitz says.
Dusk was then left at the bus station as Blitz walked away, whistling a tune.
‘Home.’ Dusk thinks smiling.
Blitz sighs as he walks inside the house and lays down on the couch again. “Always feels good to lie down again.”
“So the police managed to follow the underboss to his hideout and are in the middle of raiding it.” Vinyl says from beside him as she watches the tv.
Blitz chuckles as he puts his head on her lap. “Yeah. Knew that would work.”
“Why did you do that anyways?” Vinyl asks.
“Call it a favor to myself.” Blitz says.
Vinyl shakes her head. “Oh Blitz.” She said now petting his head.
“So how is S. Vinyl dealing with Terran?” Blitz asks.
Vinyl smiled. “Oh playing here and slobber there.”
“I see he is kicking his leg again.” Blitz says watching him sleep.
Vinyl giggles. “Yeah, it’s kind of cute. Are you okay for now?”
“Yeah, everything is in place and all that is left is for the finals.” Blitz says.
Vinyl sighs. “So, what do you want to do in the meantime?”
“I heard Octavia lost to Twi and the rest so lets cheer her up.” Blitz says.
Vinyl smiled. “What did you get planned?”
“You think you can stand some classical tonight?” Blitz asks.
Vinyl groans. “For her.”
“Set up the music to play in here, I’ll go get her in her room.” Blitz says getting up.
Vinyl sighs. “Yeah.” She said getting up.
Blitz walks to Octavia’s room and knocks on the door.
“Come in.” A tired voice said.
Blitz opens the door and enters. “Hey Octy.” Blitz says.
Octavia looks at him from her laying down in bed. “Hey.”
“You ok?” Blitz asks sitting on her bed.
Octavia sighs. “More or less.”
“Come here.” Blitz says, bringing her into a hug.
Octavia sighs as she hugs him back and puts her head in his chest. “Thanks Blitz.”
“Come on, I know something that will make you feel better.” Blitz says picking Octavia up and carrying her bridal style to the living room.
Octavia wraps her arms around his neck. “What’s going on?”
“You tell me.” Blitz says as they start hearing classical music.
Octavia smiled and put her head on his chest. “Thanks Blitz.”
“Thanks, but Vinyl she choose the song.” Blitz says.
Octavia giggles as they sit down on the couch with Vinyl joining them. “Thanks Vinyl.”
“Nice to be appreciated.” Vinyl says.
Blitz chuckles as he holds Octavia closer. “Please, you have been getting it from a lot.”
“I’m curious now.” Octavia says removing Blitz’s sunglasses.
Octavia just ends up staring at them as Vinyl puts on her headphones.
“V…Vinyl, are you seeing this?” Octavia asks.
Vinyl chuckles. “Already did.”
“Are you sure your eyes don’t have a hypnotic effect?” Octavia asks.
Blitz shakes his head. “No, girls just like my eyes. Do you?”
“I want you.” Octavia says.
“So they can’t find Twilight or any of the girls anywhere?” Blitz asks Octavia.
Octavia shakes her head as they walk through the school, the earbuds in Blitz’s ear. “No, none of them.”
“Octy, I’m going to go get Vinyl. We can find them with my pet.” Blitz says.
Octavia nods. “Okay, she should be nearby in the parking lot. She was going to the music store with him, but I think she’s on her phone still.”
“Can I use yours, I kind of had to smash mine.” Blitz says.
Octavia sighs and takes hers out. “Don’t smash it, it’s expensive.”
Blitz nods before calling Vinyl. “Hey Vinyl, it’s me. Something has come up, can you bring my pet to the school for me?” Blitz asks.
Vinyl sighs. “Sure, we’ll be right there.”
“Thanks, sorry to inconvenience you.” Blitz says.
“Eh, anything for my mate. Coming now.” Vinyl said before hanging up.
“Thanks Octy.” Blitz says, handing her phone back to her.
Octavia nods. “The finals are coming up. You better suit up just in case.”
“I doubt there will be a need. I have faith.” Blitz says.
Octavia chuckles. “Alright. Let’s go.” She continued to walk.
“You go on acting as nothing unusual is happening, ok?” Blitz ask.
Octavia waves at him. “You got it.”
“Thanks.” Blitz says before waiting behind the school until Vinyl’s car pulls up.
Vinyl sighs as she gets out with Terran. “Alright, what do we get?”
“Twi and her band have been missing for quite a while and no one can find them.” Blitz says going around back and opening the back allowing Terran to jump out.
Vinyl nods. “Alright, I’ll hit the top floor and search for them there.”
“No need. Terran, find Twilight and stay hidden.” Blitz says.
Terran barks before heading inside.
Terran eventually led them to a door under the stage. As Blitz was going to open it, he heard six thuds against it.
He leans down and looks under the door and sees a pile of bodies blocking most of the way. “Dang it. Vinyl, find another way. Preferably, the ceiling.” He whispered. Blitz then knocks before he hears movement before trying again, this time opening the door. “Hello, is everything okay in here?” He asks, checking where his gun is before he steps through.
“Blitz.” Twilight says hugging him. “Wait, how did you find us?” Twilight asks.
“With a little help from my companion.” Blitz says as Terran popped his head around the corner.
Twilight steps a bit back before nodding. “Okay, let’s get back up. The show is about to start.”
“What in tarnation is that?!” Applejack yells.
Blitz smirks. “My pet.”
“It’s as big as a bear.” Rainbow says.
“Oh, he is like a fish dog.” Fluttershy says scratching its head.
Terran happily pants as he nuzzles her hand back.
Blitz sighs. “You girls better get going. Like Twilight said, the show is about to go on.”
“Oh right.” The girl says as Vinyl goes to get her car.
They quickly run out and head outside and run to the stage nearby and Blitz follows as he heads for the crowd to stay hidden a bit as they reach the hill on the other side. “Okay, how are we going to get them to listen from up here?” Rainbow asks.
“You really can’t get a good set up, can you?” Vinyl asks as she drives up in her car before it transforms into a mini DJ stand with lights and everything.
‘Where did Vinyl even get that?’ Blitz thinks.
Vinyl chuckles as she sees the shocked faces. “What? I have a lot of cash on the side.”
Rainbow shakes herself out of it. “Alright girls. Let’s do this.”
Blitz watches as the two groups notice each other and start to play as the dazzlings sing louder. After a bit, he walks closer to the dazzlings as they both light up with an aura around them and their magic clashes with each other and Sunset starts singing with the group.
Blitz chuckles. “Nice job Twilight. You really know how to bring others together.” He said to himself as he notices the other people in the area were either going blank or cheering at the two groups. “Come on. Snap out of it…oh boy.” He said to himself as he notices more people stop cheering and the dazzlings magic gets closer to Twilight and the others. “Crap.” He said to himself as he walks out of the crowd and slightly up the stage before peeking out and sees the magic now too close to Twilight and the others. “Dang it. Why?” He asks himself before looking to the dazzlings and sees them smirking, expect Dusk, but then feels the girder he’s touching shake a bit and looks to it before following it and sees S. Vinyl on top above the dazzlings.
He smiles before screams were heard from the hill and he quickly turns to look at Twilight and the others hit by the dazzlings’ magic and eventually stops playing. “Not good.” He said to himself as he sees Vinyl trying something and waves at him…or was it him? Soon the music from the Rainbooms came back to life and was stronger than ever. He chuckles as the dazzlings try even harder and actually started to change with their skin going to scales. “Huh, so this is a siren.” He said to himself as he used his glasses to take images of them for the database and tilts his head as Twilight and the others change their forms too.
Blitz smirks and looks to see the sirens start to change their forms and soon a heavy fog came out from around them and soon covers them up before three dragon like heads with horns came out and still singing could be heard even through the dragon’s mouths aren’t moving. Blitz looks over to Twilight and the others as they also gain an aura around them and soon was covered by a bright light before an alicorn figure came out and both groups clashed against each other.
The alicorn soon pushes the dragons back before smacking them across the faces and then pushes away and once they reach back to the stage does the alicorn rear back and fires a spell at them and everything and the songs stop. Blitz watches as the alicorn heads back to Twilight and the others and disappears as the fog and aura disappear as well. He soon sees the dazzlings on the ground as they try to stand up again and Blitz sees some shards on the ground. “Not bad. Not bad at all.” He said to himself as he scans the shards.
The dazzlings soon get back up as the crowd groans as they rub their heads and Twilight and the others cheer. Dazzle growls as she gets up before grabbing something from her blouse and squeezes it in her hand before another aura appears around her and the other two backs away as Dazzle soon is covered up by a fog and makes a dragon come out again and roars at them. Blitz growls before S. Vinyl drops from the girder and actually flies straight down and punches it right in the head before hitting the horn and then quickly flies up. The dragon soon disappears in thin air as Dazzle groans and falls flat on her face.
Blitz raises an eyebrow as he sees S. Vinyl give him a thumbs up. “Thanks V.”
“Anytime.” S. Vinyl says disappearing again.
Blitz sighs in relief as the crowd watches the dazzlings for anything else as Twilight starts to walk down to the stage. “Hey Blitz.” She said walking past him in her half pony form.
Blitz waves back as Flash Sentry runs up to her. ‘See you soon.’ Blitz sends.
Twilight nods before Flash stops her. “Twilight, woah. Again, huh? What the heck happened this time?”
“Sirens. Close to the mythology.” Twilight says.
Blitz leans against the exit door as the Dazzles approached. “Hey.” Blitz says smirking.
Dusk sighs as the other two glares. “Hey, so do we still have a deal?” Dusk asks.
“You already fulfilled your end of the bargain. So got an argument for why I should include the other two?” Blitz asks.
Dusk looked at them as they looked surprised at her. “Actually, they need time or none at all.”
“Want to leave them stranded in this world then?” Blitz asks.
Dusk nods. “Yeah, until they get the message.”
“I gotcha.” Blitz says opening the door.
Dusk sighs as she walks through the door as Twilight and the others were being cheered at and getting their prize. “Thanks again.” She said walking past him.
“Don’t mention it.” Blitz says as Octavia was waiting with Terran in her car.
Blitz sighs as he looks to the other two just standing there surprised. “Yeah, she’s coming back home. You two are officially staying here to learn your lesson. Or whatever Twilight said and spoke of the queen, here she is. Bye now.” Blitz said as he walks out while Twilight walks up to the slack jawed dazzlings.
Blitz smiled as he approached Dusk. “You okay?”
Dusk sighs. “I just abandoned my only friends. How do you think I feel?”
“From what I saw, they were only using you.” Blitz says.
Dusk looks at him. “At least they treated me like that counted something as a friend.”
“Well now you are with me and will make new friends soon.” Blitz says holding her shoulder to give her emotional support.
Dusk sighs. “Fine. Can we go now?”
“Sure after we pick up two others.” Blitz says as they get in the car.
Dusk sighs as she looks back and sees Twilight still talking to the other two. “At least they have a chance.”
“Let’s hope they take it and maybe we can fix your amulet.” Blitz says.
Dusk looks surprised. “What?”
“Twilight and me are very smart unicorns. We may be able to fix it.” Blitz says as Terran sticks his head up in between the middle seats. “Oh and meet Terran, my pet.”
Dusk looks surprised and stares at him as he does as well before he licks her cheek and she giggles. “He’s cute and a…fish?”
“Actually, he is a verran which I guess most think he is a hybrid of a fish and a dog.” Blitz says.
Dusk laughs as she pets Terran and he licks her cheek. “Still cute.”
“Good, because you will see him a lot.” Blitz says.
Dusk was still laughing as she played with Terran and Octavia drove them to the spot where Blitz asked her to. “So, you got everything?” Blitz asks Octavia.
“Yeah, Vinyl says we’ll leave tomorrow.” Octavia says coming to a stop.
“I’ll be back soon. Don’t leave the car, ok?” Blitz asks.
Octavia nods as he steps out and walks into the club and is escorted to the V.I.P. booth. “So I did as you asked and have set everything in place. All you have to do is take my place tomorrow.” Blitz says.
The person that looks like Blitz, sitting on a couch, sighs. “Hope I can live up to your reputation.”
“Of course you can, you are me after all.” Blitz says sitting on the couch and slips on the metal helmet.
The other Blitz sighs and grabs the helmet. “I don’t have to do the things you do, right?”
“You are your own person. I have already let it slip to one of the members of the wonderbolts that you don’t really have an interest in joining and want to become a medic or a scientist.” Blitz says.
The other Blitz chuckles. “Yeah, never was that interested in sports.” He said putting on the helmet.
“It’s funny, we are both still mandalorians. Well no use in putting this off any longer.” Blitz says switching on the machine and the Blitz of this universe lived the memories of the since he came to this universe in an instant.
The other Blitz groans as he takes off the helmet. “You think I can score all of them?”
“Easily, we are the same, just be yourself and if anyone asks, Twilight has gone with your parents and you’ve decided to stay here instead of traveling the country.” Blitz says.
The other Blitz nods. “Got it. Well, you better get going. I think time is now getting close to ending and I have to take your place.”
“Just go slow with Spitfire, she…” Blitz was cut off by his counterpart. “In an uncertain stage in her life and unsure if she wants a guy.”
“Great minds read the same way.” Blitz says.
“Or just share memories to speed things along.” The other Blitz said with a smirk.
“Well, I best go. Got a few things still to do and you best get ready to start high school.” Blitz says.
The other Blitz groans. “The things I do for love.”
“And yourself.” Blitz says leaving.
“So…did you deal with anything you needed?” Octavia asks after he got back into the car.
“Yes, my replacement starts tomorrow.” Blitz says as Octavia starts driving as Blitz notices Dusk scratching Terran’s stomach.
Octavia smiled. “Ah, good. Then you better leave before he comes.”
“Don’t worry about that.” Blitz says.
The next morning Octavia stops at the entrance to Canterlot high and she drops them off at where Twilight was standing. “Here we are, last stop for you. Me, Vinyl and S. Vinyl will be with you guys shortly.”
Blitz sighs as he gets out with Dusk who had a pretty small bag and walks over to Twilight. “Hey Twi. So are we ready to go?” Blitz asks.
“Just saying bye to my frie…Pinkie, please stop looking through the portal.” Twilight says, pulling at her collar.
Blitz chuckles as he looks behind himself and sees Dusk getting out with Terran. He smiles as she walks over and keeps petting Terran’s head before he nuzzles her hand back and jumps through the portal. “You ready?” He asks her.
“Yeah, but just to be safe, can I wait till I walk through with both of you?” Dusk asks nervously.
Blitz smiled. “Of course. After all, you got another world to explore.” He said as Twilight was just finishing up.
Twilight sighs and looks to Blitz. “Better get going. Who knows how long we left them worrying?”
“Did I forget to mention, it appears this portal hooked up our universe’s times to run parallel to each other?” Blitz asks.
Twilight frowns. “No, you missed that part.”
“Awesome, that means we have less trouble.” Vinyl said walking up with a bag.
“Yeah.” S. Vinyl says, causing the girls to stare.
Sunset could only point between the two. “If there are two Vinyls, then who was with us at the hill?”
Vinyl raises a hand. “Oh, that be me. Got a shop to run you know.”
Octavia giggles as walks over. “Don’t forget about me. Oh and you girls can have this.” She said give them some keys.
Vinyl chuckles as they stare at the keys. “Yeah, that’s our cars, my shop. Keep running it, pay the bills and all that crap and of course our house.”
“Sunset is smart enough to handle that.” Blitz says.
Vinyl grins. “Good and now she officially has a home in this world, well legally.”
“Ok, put those two to work as well.” Twilight says.
“We will. Don’t worry your smarty, smart head.” Pinkie said.
“Oh, that reminds me. I got a surprise for you girls staying here.” Blitz says.
They all tilt their heads. “What is it?” Fluttershy asks.
“Oh look, here he comes now.” Blitz says as someone rode up on a motorcycle wearing the same outfit as Blitz.
The person looks to them before removing his helmet and shows his face. “Hi there.” He said giving a wave.
Twilight looks surprised. “Is he the same as you, mandalorian and all?”
“Oh I’m unsure about that, why don’t you ask him.” Blitz says as the other Blitz walks up.
Twilight looks at him and studies him carefully. “So…you are a mandalorian and have almost the same skills and everything as this Blitz?” She asks, pointing to the Blitz beside her.
“We haven’t had a formal competition.” This world’s Blitz says.
“Well there is a big difference. He studies medicine and science.” Blitz says.
Twilight looks to this world’s Blitz. “Our Blitz isn’t a doctor and mostly is a master at commanding.”
“Like how this world’s version of you is older and a cougar.” Blitz says.
The other Blitz chuckles. “Yeah, just need to deal with love a little better than you. You really got lucky in that department.”
“Wasn’t until I met my girls and you are a few years younger than me.” Blitz says.
The other Blitz smirks. “Thought you have been whipped.”
“No comment on those activities. Now we best go before someone spots two Vinyls and two Blitzkriegs.” Blitz says.
Twilight quickly grabs her bag and grabs his wrist and pulls him along. “Come on.”
Dusk bows to them before going through the portal with Octavia. “See ya.” Vinyl says as she and S. Vinyl walk through.
The girls were still staring at the other Blitz as Pinkie jumped excitedly. “So…are you a bounty hunter like that Prey game?” She asks.
“Mandalorians usually work as bounty hunters if we are not at war or if we have free time.” Blitz says.
Pinkie giggles and hugs him. “I like this Blitzy. Can we keep him?” She asks the slack jawed others.
“Good to be home. Now, I’m going to go find Arcane.” Twilight says running off.
Blitz chuckles as he hears Dusk behind him. “Well this is unexpected.” Turning around, Blitz saw a pony instead of a siren.
Blitz smiled. “Welcome back home to Equestria. Just be careful of the princess and all the archivists. They might turn you in or banish you. Also, because of the time lapse that was originally between those two worlds, it’s been close to a thousand years since you were banished by Starswirl the Bearded.”
Dusk looks herself over and sees the necklace still there, but the jewel was broken. “I think I might be sleeping more without any energy.” She said touching it.
Blitz nods, taking it with his magic and puts it in his saddlebag. “Me and Twi will work on it.” Blitz says as somepony lands on him.
“Hey love, you’re finally back.” Vinyl says.
Blitz smirks before looking to the portal and sees Octavia coming through and then two more Vinyl comes through. “Got a surprise for you.” He said walking over to them as S. Vinyl had demonic wings.
Vinyl looks over to the group and grins. “Cool.” She said before jumping off and checking them out. “So…what’s different and you found her? Where was she?” She said, pointing to S. Vinyl.
“Different universe.” Blitz says as S. Vinyl tackles her.
“V! V!” S. Vinyl cheers. “It’s so good to see you again. Do you still like me?” She asks, hugging her tightly.
“I have been having my husband look everywhere for you, what do you think?” Vinyl asks.
S. Vinyl chuckles and starts peppering her with kisses. “I love ya V.” She said, still kissing her.
“Well I’ll show you three around and introduce you to your counterpart here Octavia.” Blitz says.
Octavia smiled. “Thanks Blitz. Mind if we see this Arcane Twilight keeps talking about?”
“That’s the name of her foal and I would think you would prefer to see Azure, your counterpart’s foal.” Blitz says.
Octavia giggles. “I think I would like that.”
“Ok and take your time, using hooves isn’t that easy.” Blitz says noticing the three were struggling to stand.
Vinyl, who was still wearing the same kind of clothes as the human one, was struggling to walk over. “How about me? Did Vinyl ever have kids?”
“I’m actually pregnant right now.” Vinyl says.
“That makes four who are currently pregnant.” Blitz says.
“Five, Shadow, was confirmed to be pregnant yesterday. I think she stopped bouncing now.” Vinyl says.
Blitz chuckles. “Oh, that’s how I expected her to react. At least she finally has that foal she’s been asking for.”
“You bet, she is already tearing through foal name books.” Vinyl says.
Blitz laughs. “Yeah, better get to her before she picks an oh so obvious name.”
“She was thinking Hurricane last I heard from her.” Vinyl says.
Blitz’s eyes widen. “Better hurry before she makes it permanently.” He said before rushing off.
“I’ll show you the way if you can get S. V. off me.” Vinyl says.
The other Vinyl and Octavia laugh as S. Vinyl nuzzles Vinyl happily.
Blitz opens the door to Shadow’s room. “Shadow, you here?” Blitz calls looking to the books strode along the floor.
Shadow looks up and smiles greatly and rushes over to him and hugs him. “Blitzy! You won’t believe it!”
“You’re pregnant.” Blitz says hugging back.
Shadow nuzzles him. “I’m so happy right now, but can you stay for awhile and help me with a name?”
“Now, now love, there is no need to rush, you have quite some time before the foal arrives.” Blitz says petting her.
Shadow purrs. “I love you Blitzy.”
“Also I brought home three more ponies. I will go into full details later.” Blitz says.
Shadow was still enjoying the petting. “Still love ya.”
Blitz smiles and hugs her again. “Love you too.” He said before looking around the room. “When did you eat last?”
“At breakfast, the chefs sent me two helpings.” Shadow says.
Blitz smiled. “And what time is it now?”
“Um…near lunch.” Shadow says.
Blitz chuckles. “Come on, we are all going to have lunch here as a family.” Blitz says.
Shadow keeps hugging him as they head down to the dining room and finds most of the mares and foals there. “Hey guys.” Blitz said sitting down after Shadow lets him go. “So what did I miss?”
Blitz’s answer came in the form of a wave of foals. “Alright guys, that’s enough.” Blitz pleaded as all the kids hugged him.
“Oh they are almost as cute as Terran.” Dusk says.
Blitz chuckles as he hugs them back. “Yeah, they are and maybe better. After all, they are my foals, right?” He asks the foals.
The foals somehow made little halos appear over their heads.
Blitz laughs and hugs them again. “I love and miss you guys.” He said nuzzling them.
“Kind of disappointed you didn’t bring back another me. But I guess you couldn’t handle two mares like me.” Rainbow says.
Blitz smirks. “Fifty bits says you’re wrong.”
“Oh, I don’t see one. So I’ll take a different sort of payment.” Rainbow says, smirking.
Blitz chuckles deviously. “Got it, though bring a cup and I’ll make a pretty good payment.”
“Oh no, I get to decide.” Rainbow says.
Blitz laughs. “It’s great to be back Rainbow. That place for some reason was stupid. And Twilight, what did that Flash guy want with you?”
“He wanted to talk about our relationship. He was shocked to learn it had been years for me and I was married. Though to mess with him, I told him it was to a mare which is technically true.” Twilight says.
Blitz grins. “I’m guessing I’m rubbing off on you.”
“But I’m still better, aren’t I Arcane?” Twilight asks, nuzzling him.
Arcane cheers and hugs her nose and kisses it.
“That’s my colt.” Twilight says.
Arcane cheers and climbs up onto her head.
Blitz sighs. “Great to be back.”
“Yeah love and you need to be here for a few other reasons.” Applejack says.
Blitz raises an eyebrow. “Oh?”
“Five to be exact darling.” Rarity says.
Blitz sweatdrops. “Oh dear. I’m not getting sleep, am I?”
“Probably not when all five foals we are expecting are born.” Daring says.
Blitz sighs. “Alright, but you better get ready for your sleepless nights too.”
“I know, I have helped a little with Azure and Arcane already.” Daring says.
Blitz groans. “Oh boy. Out of one area and into another.”
“So Blitzy, is the siren included?” Twilight asks.
Blitz nods. “Yeah. She has to learn this area and things going on before real…oh ho, you mean she is included in our family now.” Twilight nods and Blitz smiled. “Yes, she is. What kind of stallion would I be if I treated her like a prisoner?”
“Oh so we’re going to aim for her to carry a foal soon too?” Twilight asks.
Blitz looks to Dusk trying to eat. “Her life, her choice.”
“I’ll make another place.” Octavia says as Dusk was now shocked speechless.
Blitz smiled. “Thanks Octy.” He said as Dusk stared at Octavia.
“How…?” She tries to ask.
“Dear, I am a vampire.” Octavia says flashing her fangs.
Dusk recoils a bit. “I thought they were myths.”
“Like Sirens?” Octavia asks.
Dusk frowns a little. “Good point.”
“Don’t make the choice so soon.” Blitz says.
Dusk was still trying to think.
“Now after lunch, how about we…” Blitz whispers into Twilight’s ear and she nods to him before whispering to another mare.
Blitz smirks as he looks to the new mares who were confused. “What?” Dusk asks.
Blitz chuckles as he watches the new mares try to float around. “Having fun?” He asks as Minerva pilots the Darkstar and heads to the Darkline.
Azure laughs as he spins around in the air. Octavia chuckles and grabs him and brings him into a hug. “You like this, don’t ya?” She asks, nuzzling him.
Rainbow smiles as Spectrum and Blast hang onto her wing as she floats by. Twilight giggles as Arcane tries to flap his wings and nearly moves. “My little smart colt.” She said, grabbing him and kissing his head.
Sunshine laughs as she rolls with Pinkie. Blitz sighs as Blazer floats on by and uses his swords as stopping sticks. “Take it easy with those.” Blitz warns.
“Sorry dad.” Blazer says.
“We are in a stable orbit.” Lightning says in the co-pilot seat.
Blitz smiled. “How has the hunting been going?”
“Not bad. Killed a Hydra that was harassing a few settlements, not sure where to mount the skulls.” Lightning says.
Blitz chuckles. “That’s my girl.” He said as they saw the Darkline coming into view. “Hey, where’s the fillies? It has been a while.”
“There grounding ended earlier today.” Lightning says as Dusk came spinning uncontrollably at them.
“Help.” Dusk said as she floated by.
“I’ll handle that.” Blitz says unbuckling and floating after her.
Dusk flails in the air until Blitz grabs her and holds her as he floats back to his seat. “Having fun getting your space legs?”
“How do you do this?” Dusk asks.
Blitz smiled as he sat down. “Experience and time. Besides having fun.” He said as they docked.
Dusk chuckles nervously. “Then do you have any tricks?”
Blitz shrugs. “Well, there is using the walls and that and keeping yourself level and flat against the surface. Everything else, you can learn.”
Dusk smiles. “That’s a good trick.”
“Getting used to hooves or the fact that it has nearly been a thousand years since you were banished?” Blitz asks.
Dusk looks around to the others having fun moving around except for S. Vinyl and the Vinyl and Octavia of the other world. “Both, maybe.”
“You can sit here if you want.” Blitz says.
Dusk smiled. “That sounds nice.”
Blitz nods as a shake rattles through the ship and the doors open. “Call Spike and have him meet us.” Blitz said as he got up and floated out the cockpit. They all start to follow or grab a fellow pony and get dragged or floated out the door and follow Blitz.
Soon they hit the artificial gravity and started walking towards the bridge. “That’s better.” S. Vinyl said.
Blitz chuckles as they enter the elevator and head down before the door opens and Spike was standing there in his commander’s outfit. “Hey Spike. How’s it been around here?” Blitz asks.
“Busy. Please make this quick, I have to go to Omega to link up with the tankers Aria is sending to deliver the fuel we bought for our reserves.” Spike says.
Blitz smiled. “Ah good. At least you are really working. Say hello to the newest additions to our new family.” He said, stepping aside and showing the new mares.
“Really, can’t keep it to yourself can you?” Spike asks.
Blitz frowns. “Shut up.”
“Spike, this is your brother in law.” Twilight reminded me.
Spike huffs. “Yeah, now, what are you planning to do here? I have to take the Darkline soon.”
“Well wanted to show the new additions and the foals what it is like in space. Also, buy some of this jewel from Aria and don’t eat any.” Blitz whispers the last part.
Spike raises an eyebrow. “You know I’m past that.” Blitz holds out a ruby. “I’ll try not to eat any.” Spike said taking it and eating it.
Blitz smiled. “Good. And try to pick up our favorite mod for our weapons.”
Spike chuckles. “You do realize there are now EMP guns based on my system, right?”
Blitz raises an eyebrow. “And you ordered?”
Spike huffs. “You kidding? They are ours so technically we could use them for free. After all, we are nicknamed the ‘Testing Ship’ a lot.”
Blitz smiled. “Great. Well, I’m going to get them some food for them and the foals. How long until you ship out?”
“Thirty minutes. We delayed for you.” Spike says.
Blitz nods. “Ah, got that. Well, we might be quick, we might not. We might even stay ‘accidentally’.” He said, smirking.
“Nope, all unscheduled arrives must leave before, then no exception besides the Griffon king sent a message, he wants to meet with you.” Spike says.
Blitz looks at him. “He sent it to you?”
Spike huffs. “You kidding, he sent it to the main command.”
Blitz sighs. “Alright, I’ll give them a quick show around and maybe mark their rooms for once they are ready to come along. After that, we’ll get out of here.”
“Please be quick.” Spike says.
“You’ve really grown Spike. I can hardly recognize you.” Blitz says smiling.
Spike sighs. “At least Slender and the girls are keeping me in check. I think I almost lost myself a few times.”
“By the way, the CMC finished their grounding so when you get back, go see them, ok?” Blitz asks.
Spike smiled. “That was my plan for a long time. At least I was able to talk to them in the meantime. Though, are they going to allow long trips now?”
“Got to get their sister’s permission first, remember what happened last time they took off without their permission?” Blitz says.
Spike huffs. “How could I not?”
“Remind them of that so we don’t have a repeat, ok?” Blitz asks.
Spike nods. “Yeah, they really don’t repeat anyway.”
“Ok, see you Spike.” Blitz says walking past.
“Come home next chance you get.” Twilight says before kissing his cheek.
Spike blushes. “Twilight. Save that for your son. I’m not going to get those anymore.” He said before a few tendrils appeared behind the group. “Well…from you Twilight.”
Rainbow lightly hits his head with a hoof. “Stay out of trouble, squirt.” Rainbow says walking by.
Spike chuckles as her foals try to hit his head. “Yeah and you can’t.” He said as a door opened to a black room.
“Stay close girls, we don’t have long.” Blitz says.
Spike smiled as the other foals hugged him and ran after their family as Slender came up behind him. “Such cute foals and family.” She said.
“You noticed Daring is pregnant?” Spike asks.
Slender huffs. “How could I not? She’s huge.” She said emphasizing with her hooves and her tendrils catches a chair behind thrown at her. “At least her hearing hasn’t lessened. So what about the other four?” Slender asks.
Spike sighs. “Blitz mentioned that they are still in the early stages. Half of them are already showing, but healthy and everything important.”
“Especially the fat pegasus.” Slender says.
Another chair was thrown and Slender caught it. “She’s got quite a throwing leg though.”
Spike shakes his head. “What would I do without you Slender?”
Slender shrugs. “Eh, go crazy, maybe make a killing.”
Spike smiles. “Good point. So…dinner?”
Slender giggles. “Please.” She said as they walked off.
