Chapters Congratulations: You have been born
Great to know, I look around the new room I'm in. It was a simple nursery filled with toys, cribs, and other baby items. Across from my new crib was my new sister, Twilight Sparkle. It's interesting to think about it, but what exactly caused her cutie mark to look the way it does? What it her destiny to be the element of magic, did the element base itself on her mark, or was it just chance.
Congratulations: for your deep thinking and questioning, you have gained 1 point in I/W
------
You have gained the skill 'Observe' and 'Meditate'
Observe(Lvl:1): Allows you to gain more details on other ponies and objects
Meditate(Lvl:1): Enter a state of relaxation and peace, restores 5% mana per minute
That's very convenient. I then proceed to use 'Observe' on every single item and crack I could find in the room, leveling it up 7 times in total, which also got my normal level to go up twice. That gave me 3 points each which I put 2 into I/W, and 1 into L for both levels. After that I meditated until I noticed the sun starting to set, leveling that up 10 times and getting 2 more levels and increasing my total I/W by 3, for the leveling points I placed 2 points into S, E, and A bringing them up to 17 each.
I sighed internally as the door opened to reveal Night Light and Twilight Velvet... You know I never got why they gave her the same first name as the shows mainest character. I then pocketed that train of thought as the pair started talking.
"I've got to be honest, I didn't think that either of them would make it. After what happened to Shining." What did she just say?! Shining Armor is dead!?!? Oh nonononono I haven't even changed anything yet! Oh no Velvet looks like she's about to cry. I need to help. But how? I can't even walk ye- wait can I? Worth a shot.
I then roll against the bars of the crib and worm through it. Falling off I landed on the floor with a small thud. That quickly drew the attention of both of my new parents, both with looks of shock. I then shakily placed my front hooves on the floor, and pushed up slowly. I then lifted from the rear as well, drawing more shock from the pair in front of me. I then shakily placed my right hoof forward, then my back left, front left, back right. I repeated this until my downward facing head bumped against Night Lights front hooves, causing me to stumble back a bit.
I looked up to see both of my parents looking down at me with widened eyes, and I ain't talkin about just big I mean the size of dinner plates. Suddenly I was swooped up by Night Lights hooves and spun around a few time all the while laughter filled the nursery.
It's been about five years since that day in the nursery and a lot has changed. The first and most obvious part, WHAT HAPPENED TO SHINING REEEEE!!!! The answer is pretty sad honestly, apparently in this version of Equestria he died in infancy from measles. I honestly didn't even think these ponies got sick apart from those odd cases like the cutie pox. Then again there was that time that Fluttershy got sick with... Something. Was it pony pox, or some sort of pony flu... whatever MOVING ON!
Since Shining isn't here that means that we're down both a prince and a guard captain. So, in order to pick up the slack, I've been grinding all of my skills in secret to fill the position myself. I mean, to be honest, he did score pretty high. Which I wouldn't exactly say about Twilight. I mean I don't HATE the guy, I honestly kind of just find him boring. He didn't really have any unique quirks about him that made me particularly like him, but he didn't have any bad qualities that made him unlikable to me. I just kinda felt 'meh' about him, I will also NOT be intentionally changing anything to keep Flashlight from happening! Twilight deserves the happiness that a relationship with him will provide, regardless of my personal feelings about him! ...moving on.
My current stats are as follows.
S:84
P:123
E:97
C:53
I/W:233
A:67
L:74
Now that may seem op, and it is to a normal pony, but once I saw Princes Celestias stats, I nearly shit myself.
S:890
P:780
E:3200
C:5350
I/W:IT'S OVER 9000!!
A:530
L:12
That is terrifying. Especially so when you think about the strength that the villains could have. Nightmare Moon would easily be a match for Celestia, Discord fought both alicorns and nearly won, Chrysalis defeated Celestia, and as for Tirek and Sombra... FUCKING HAX!
I may be being hypocritical, but I don't fucking care!
The most important thing I discovered during these few years is the Hp, and mana bars... What do you want an explanation YOU FUCKING PONY JACKING SCUM! I BET YOU JACK OF TO LUNA EVERY NIGHT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET A FUCKING HUSBAND AND/OR WIFE!
Woah, sorry about that, I'm usually far more composed. I don't know what came over me. Also that insult is kind of a moot point because of my semi-final goal of getting in Cadences non existent panties but whatever.
Long Term Quest Unlocked
Lust or Love?:
Main goal-Get in Cadences panties
Rewards: Cadence(Wife) Royal Status Royal armor and sword Quest: Changeling Invitation
... What the fu-
Today is the day of the entrance exam for that school whose name is to long for me to care to (type)say. Anyway I was first placed in a small room siting across from a white coated unicorn mare, she had her pink mane in a bun and wore a lab coat preventing me from seeing any more features. She was the only one apart from me in the room, due to having to be separate from my parents for the first part of the test.
"Okay so now we are going to take the first part of your exam, mkay?" Oh god is this some sort of South Park BS? Whatever let's get this over with.
"Mkay." I responded with.
"Mkay?"
"Mkay."
"Mkay?"
"Mkay."
"... So your exams will be in two parts, a problem solving exam and a magic capacity exam. For your problem solving exam you'll be solving this puzzle." The examiner said, holding up a box. It had wooden pieces that fit together in a way that made part of the wood stick out. "Your goal is to take all of the pieces out, and place them all back so that no pieces are sticking out." Huh, that seems simple enough. I then tapped a few times on the mahogany table in front of me as she levitated the box to me.
"Ready... Set... Begin!" She said as she got a stop watch from nowhere.
The puzzle was easy enough to pick apart, quickly doing that I placed a pronged piece into a slot in the blocks and connected them. I then placed them in the boxes skeleton, and locked it in place. I then placed multiple blocks sliding in like puzzle board pieces. Quickly enough I got all the pieces locked in place, and I then quickly placed it onto the table. The whole time I looked down towards the puzzle, not paying attention to the time.
I then slowly looked up to the examiner, her mane was sticking up in places and her right eyelid was twitching. She then looked at the stopwatch and gained a look of shock.
"T-Tw-Two point S-Se-Seven seconds!?" She exclaimed in a low, almost mute voice.
I then chuckled slightly and rubbed my left hoof against the back of my neck.
Next up was the Magic Capacity exam. We were brought into the halls where I saw both of my parents, waiting for Twilight. Once she exited a few minutes later from her exam we were shown to the next part of the exam. This time our parents were allowed to follow into the room. Our parents decided to spilt up to give each of us support/comfort in case either of us failed. Night Light decided to go with Twilight while Velvet came with us.
In front of me was a dragon egg. Although something was different about it. I looked with my 'Observe' ability and saw that it was covered in magic resistance enchantments. (Read this in a snarky Freiza voice)It seems that this test isn't about magic capacity at all(obviously).
I then extended my pale gray magic to surround the egg.
Would you like to try hatching the dragons egg:
Y/N
mana cost: 1,200
Hp cost: 10
I then look up to my Hp and mana bars just to be safe.
Hp: 8,321
mana: 43,000
I then internally snicker and then input Y. My eyes then force themselves shut and my body clenches up. I then overhear a faint humming sound as I feel my teeth clench. Then after a few seconds I feel like my strength being drained slightly and a small *crack* fills the air.
I then bend my front knees slightly as I catch my breath, a small amount of sweat dripping from my forehead. The cracks get louder as I look at the shell breaking away. When the whole shell was scraped away I came face to face with a baby dragon, he looked just like a baby Spike only red and orange instead of purple and green.
In the distance I also hear the boom of the Rainboom, but I was completely entranced by the newborn in front of me. As I do the newly hatched dragon tilts its head innocently in while looking at me.
*Bu-Bump*
Did-Did my heart just skip a beat? I was thinking that somewhere in my conscious mind, but my body didn't respond. Instead I shakily picked up the tiny dragon. I then carefully and warmly hugged the infant, all the while hearing it purr and chirp as it worked into my hooves. All the while I couldn't take my eyes off it.
That was when the examiner spoke up. "What just happened?"
It's been 6 years since I confessed my love to Cadence, as well as finding out about her returned feelings. We've been spending that time on many dates and vacations. Another thing I have been doing is grinding and I have managed to get my 'Observe' and 'Meditate' skills to maximum level(which is 1000).
Another thing is my continued studies under Celestia, while going well, haven't created any new skills. I can use the spells she has taught me, but they have to be applied like regular spells. Which is weird because it should be, right?
Anyway, today Celestia wanted me and my sister to come to the library for a personal and important lesson. Apparently it's some sort of right of passage for the royal family and Celestia's students. Cadence went through it as well as Luna apparently, though Cadence wouldn't tell me what it was, and I couldn't ask Luna for obvious reasons. I would have ask Blueblood but decided no for two reasons. He is still a prick, and according to Cadence, he never was allowed to take this lesson due to only being legally related to the royal family.
As I entered the library I was assaulted by its columns and rows of books, possibly numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Standing at the table one row down was Celestia and Twilight. While Celestia has personality wise remained unchanged, Twilight is much different than her canon counterpart due to my influence. She is much more outgoing and socially adept, as well as making a close group of friends, including Moondancer, myself, Cadence, and a young pegasus named Flash Sentry. I know what you're going to say. Ah bUt lED FLasH iS A rEteRd BlEh! If you are saying that shut up. Twilight and Flash did date for a bit, but they eventually decided that they were better off being friends and broke up. She also has physical stats that are around half of Celestia's, which is an incredible feat.
As I approached the table I saw Celestia and Twilight look over to me and wave, Celestia in a modest and humble manner and Twilight in an coked up, child like manner. When I got there I saw Celestia looking down at me with a gentile smile. One thing that I have always been different from Twilight about is the relationship with our parents. While Twilight was inseparable, I wasn't as close. Don't get me wrong I love them very dearly, but I wasn't as close to them as Twilight.
Eventually I started to talk regularly with Celestia, and a lot has improved with her. While she has not changed personality wise, but she has gotten much of her pain off her chest due to our interaction. Most of it involved her sister Luna.
"...And that is the proper way of tuning a teleportation spell." Celestia finished, after she did so Twilight started packing up her books and notes to go home for the weekend to see our parents. I however stayed put, which caught the attention of both Celestia and Twilight after some time.
"TSBFF, why aren't you packing up?" She asked curiously, I looked over to her and gave her a small smile.
"Go ahead sis, I have to stay behind and ask princess Celestia something." I said, drawing a satisfied look from Twilight and a curious look from Celestia. While canon Twilight would have asked me what my question was, this Twilight is much more respecting of privacy and personal space than early canon Twilight.
When she left I looked up to Celestia as she put up her motherly smile once again.
"What was it that you wanted to ask, young Zeppy." Even Celestia called by that nickname, in truth I don't even know why I decided on the name 'Led Zeppelin' in the first place. I guess I was subconsciously appealing to my masculine mindset despite my now female gender.
"...Why do you wear a fake smile?" I asked, which brought a sliver of shock to her face, though it was quickly suppressed. She kept her motherly face up as she continued to look down at me.
"I don't believe I understand. What do you mean?" She asked, inside I was giving her a 'This is bull shit' look before continuing.
"I mean, every time I see you smile or enjoy something, it feels so forced, and I occasionally see pain and sadness when I look at you, then it's like it's gone the next moment." When I said that her shock was unsuppressed, I doubt that she expected a seven year old to see past a possible thousand years of carefully constructed lies and emotions.
Celestia suddenly adopted a pained and saddened face, it truly felt like the world darkened ever so slightly, the colors almost looked faded, even Celestia's appearance changed. Her mane fell flat and dark while her fur darkened to a sickly looking gray. How long has she been like this. Then, she did something that not everyone(unless you're on Fimfiction)in Equestria can imagine her doing.
She cried .
I watched as her fur darkened to an almost black shade of gray as she shivered and tear flowed from her eyes. She looked like a person who had nothing left, broken and alone with no hope. I walked up to her as I pulled her into my small, underdeveloped hooves. She then wrapped her own hoofs around me as I put up a sound barrier in the room so no one would hear.
After an eternity of tears and comfort, her fur and mane lightened up slightly, but she refused to move. I started to stroke her flat mane as she stood still.
"It's Luna, isn't it?" I asked causing a flinch from her, I hugged her slightly before continuing. "Don't worry, I know it may seem like you have nothing left, but you have family and loved ones everywhere. Equestria is your family, me, Twilight, Cadence, even Blueblood. Even though you may feel alone, you have so many around you that want to see you happy, rather than in pain. And would Luna want you to do this to yourself?" I asked, getting another, smaller flinch from her.
"No. She would want you to be happy and enjoying life, regardless of what happens to her because of her choices. It would quite likely destroy her inside to see you do this to yourself. So, if not for us, then do it for her." I ended, I then noticed that my eyes were closed. When I opened them I was met with Celestia's standard white fur as her mane brightened as well.
We both slowly stood up as she looked at me, her puffy eyes filled with comfort, sadness, and a small bit of happiness. She smiled at me once again, but this time it wasn't a motherly smile, nor a fake smile. This was a purely content and happy smile. As she wiped her eyes she gave me a small hug.
"Thank you, I haven't had any comfort like that in a long time." She said as she released the hug. I then released the sound barrier as I walked over to my desk. I looked up to Celestia and gave her a small smile of my own.
"No, thank you. I knew you had been suffering, and I didn't want the pony I've come to see as a second mother to suffer." I said, bringing more shock from her. She then gave a small smile and walked over to my desk as I packed my notes.
"Well, I've never known what having a daughter feels like, but you and Twilight have been the light of my days whenever I see you, I've see you both as the daughters I've never had, and I didn't even realize it." She said as she nuzzled me. "And as your 'Second Mother', I suggest you catch up to your sister before you miss your dinner." She said as she teleported away.
I gained a warm smile at the memory, it may not have been enjoyable to see Celestia cry, but I felt accomplished and happy for helping her with her emotions. As I sat down at the table Celestia stood up and pulled out two Japanese tea cups.
"Today is going to be very special. The two of you shall be attempting the right of passage of unlocking Kingdom Magic." She started, getting a confused look from Twilight and a surprised one from me.
"Princess Celestia, what is Kingdom Magic?" Twilight asked, to which Celestia simply smiled.
"Kingdom Magic is one of the two main magic groups that spells are derived from. Much of Equestria's magics and spells including my own are derived from Kingdom Magic, while Chaos and Dark Magic are derived from Calamity Magic." She explained, causing my eyes to widen in wonder, no wonder the spells I learned didn't count as skills! They were part of something bigger.
"The first step is one of only two, where you will drink a special elixir in order to allow your pool of Kingdom Magic to flow throughout your body." She stated sagely, her magic lighting up as a small tea kettle floated over to the table from behind her.
As she tipped the kettle over Twilights cup a light green liquid poured out. She then did the same with mine and I looked down at the cup. We then both proceeded to drink from our cups and finished quickly. The elixir tasted like a liquid Honeydew, but other than that it didn't feel like anything changed. Though I trust Celestia so I'll follow along.
"The next step will have to take place with both of you separated." She said as her horn lit up. Suddenly the world around us shifted to a flat area of white tiles. I looked around and stopped when I looked up. In front of us was a large red sand mountain, with white stairs winding up to the top. At the top seemed to be a structure, though I couldn't see it from here.
"Come on, the rest of the journey must be taken on hoof." Celestia said as she began the climb. Twilight flinched at the physical test while I embraced it and trotted after Celestia. Twilight shook out of her surprise as she hurried to catch up to us.
It was been a total of four hours of climbing before we reached the top. When we did I saw the structure I saw earlier in front of us. It had white stone walls with Japanese paper barriers covering the windowsills. As Celestia opened the door we were met with a large open garden area. There were small plants and a few Sakura trees scattered about the area.
"Welcome to Kingdom Garden. Here is where you will complete the second step." She said, getting a hyper squeak from Twilight.
"In order to use Kingdom Magic, you must look within yourself and find it. When you do, you then direct it out of its pool for you to use. Be careful not to force it, unlike normal magic where you pull it out, such a thing can't be done with Kingdom Magic. You must simply direct it like a river flowing to the ocean" She finished as she sat down.
I thought on her words for a moment, let it flow like a river. I closed my eyes and started to meditate. I spent a small time feeling out my magic, searching for its pool. When I did I felt around it, it was similar but it was, warmer, like relaxing on a warm beach shore. I then mentally pushed it, causing a small stream of warmth to exit the pool.
I then dug mental trenches and wall to change its course, leading from the pool directly to my horn. When the river reached my horn my whole body felt consumed by the warmth. I opened my eyes to see everything had a white outline, along with the sound of charging magic. In front of me Celestia looked at me with a proud smile. I then quickly felt tired as the white outline and sound dissipated. I then felt my body collapse as I fell forward.
I was then caught by Celestia, who was also holding a sleeping Twilight. She gave me a small smile as I began to fall asleep. When I did I was assaulted by a message right in my face.
New Skill Created:
Kingdom Magic: Lvl(1)
All non Calamity magic and spells are easy to come to you and easy to use. You also have a almost unlimited supply of magic to use for spells.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS"
"Twilight calm down plea-" I called out desperately, only to be interrupted by Twilight as she spun around to meet me.
"Calm down! CALM DOWN! MOONDANCERS GET-TOGETHER IS TODAY -AND I KNOW YOU KNOW HOW INPORTANT THIS IS TO HER- AND PRINCESS CELESTIA WANTS US TO GO TO A BACKWATER TOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE TO HELP PREPARE FOR A CELEBRATION THAT MANY MORE QUALIFIED PONIES HAVE DONE FOR LITERALLY A THOUSAND YEARS!" She yelled, scaring both Smoke and Spike.
If you are wondering what's going on, well congratulations! We have finally reached the pilot episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Things have already changed drastically from canon already. For one Twilight -due to having more friends and frequently hanging out with them- has not read or realized the legend of Nightmare Moon. It is this reason for why she was surprised by Celestia assigning us to Ponyville for the Summer Sun Celebration.
When Moondancer invited us to her get-together a few days ago we gladly accepted, and Twilight and the group have grown closer over the years. Are you starting to get the point? If you aren't she is upset because we got royal orders to oversee a celebration in a quote unquote "Backwater town" and this upset Twilight because neither of us will be able to go to Moondancers gathering.
"Twi I know you're upset, but we can make it up. Look we'll meet up with Moondancer and the others, drop off the gifts we got for everypony, and go prepare the celebration. Then when we're done we'll come back and make plans for the next day." I said, making Twilight think for a moment. Another thing that is different about her is that she is a lot more patient and calm than her canon counterpart.
Twilight calmed down and conceded and started walking over to pack up her things for the trip. While she did that Spike and Smoke followed me as I started to help them pack their things as well. Despite her being more friendly and close with everyone, Twilight and Spikes relationship is still that of a brother/assistant role. Twilight was five when Spike was born and obviously didn't have the same extra maturity and understanding that I got, so she wouldn't have been able to properly take care of him.
Another thing was Smoke. He was very similar to Spike in terms of personality, childish and very boyish. He also was slightly larger and taller, mostly because I would sneak to hunt for meat for him to eat. What? It's obvious that he is a carnivore. Look at the teeth that dragons have. A dragon can survive on gems, but they won't grow any larger on them alone. I would tell Twilight this, but I don't know how she will react to the idea of killing something, even if it was to feed Spike.
We all finished up packing our small bags and left the house to meet up with Moondancer and the other.
When we get there we see the Moondancer, Cadence, and Flash sitting around a table. When they see us the three wave at us and we wave back. When we get closer they see our bags, though they don't say anything. It took a while before Flash of all people decides to speak up.
"So uh... What are the bags foe." He asks, Twilight hesitated for a few moments before speaking.
"Princess Celestia gave us an order to go to Ponyville to organize the Summer Sun Celebration, so we won't be able to stay here. We decided to stop by before we go to give some gifts to all of you." She said as we passed our gifts around. Moondancer looked disappointed but nodded in understanding.
"Before I forget, Cadence I want you to wait until I get back to open your gift." I said, to which she nodded. We said our goodbyes as I charged up a teleportation spell, and in a flash we were gone.
When the flash was gone we were at the Ponyville station. Now if you're wondering why I can teleport here so easily, it's because I go to the Everfree forest to hunt for Smokes food. That and Whitetail woods.
As we walked through the streets of the town, Spike went through the list as I thought about the coming battle. Would I be able to win? I could defiantly be able to hold off Nightmare Moon until Twilight and the others get to the elements. But would they be able to even use them? This Twilight is so much different from her canon counterpart that she may not become friends with the other elements. Would that effect if they were able to use the elements?
"I just don't know. "
"What was that Zeppy?" Twilight asked.
"Oh I was just saying that I should probably go to the library we're staying at to get some stuff ready for the celebration." I lied, I need some time to prepare.
"Ok, I'll take Spike and Smoke with me while you do that." She said happily.
It has been a few hours since I got to the library, I practiced my magic a little bit and read a few spell books. Suddenly I heard a knock at the door. I got up and opened it, only for a hoard of ponies to rush past me and knock me over. When I got up I felt my hoof and by extension myself pulled as the lights went off.
When they came on the ponies yelled out their welcome while Pinkie got in Twilights face about how surprised she was. While everyone was distracted by this I took the opportunity to slip away upstairs away from the party.
About two hours later I came down to see everyone leaving the party. Unlike canon Twilight seemed to actually enjoy the party. I walked over to her to see her smiling as she said goodbye to the other elements. They seemed to be more friendly than in canon so that's good.
After a short while we sat in the back of the crowd that waited for the celebration to begin. I tuned out both Mayor Mares little opening speech and everyone freaking out over Celestia's disappearance. I zoomed back into focus when Nightmare Moon started forming. Smirking a little I stealthily crawled over to the back. When she finally formed I listened intently to her speech.
"Ah. It's good to see your sun loving faces at last." She began(AN: Look I know that's probably not what she said, but I don't actually watch mlp, I just enjoy fans interpretations of the characters, so I don't know specifics, I swear I'll take time to watch it at some point) with a saucy smirk.
"Who are you?" Twilight asked, making Nightmares smirk grow wider.
"I am Nightmare Moon, and the night shall-"
"Be a pain in my ass." I interrupted calmly, before shooting her through the wall with a blast of magic.
Author's Note
HELLO THERE BOYS, I'M BAAAAACK!!!!!!!
I'm so, so sorry I haven't posted this chapter yet!
It was between a displaced as a Nightmare Twilight story or a story where Rainbow Dash becomes Agent Venom, If you wanted Agent Rainbow then sorry you will have to wait for a little while longer. I swear I will do it as it's on the back burner but just noot yet.
As for the Twilight story then good news, it will be posted under the name 'Magic Incarnate'.
Have a good day!
As the blast of energy hit Nightmare, I quickly jumped forward to continue my offense. I was fighting to win . The blast then shot Nightmare through the wall. I then quickly turned to Twilight, who was looking at me with a shocked expression.
"Twilight, I want you to go get the Elements of Harmony, NOW!" I said, shocking Twilight. It was at this point that ponies started to run away. Twilight then shook herself out of shock and gave me a look.
"What about you? Who was that? What are those?" She asked in quick succession. I put my hoof in her mouth, keeping her from continuing to speak.
"Not right now. In the library, there is a book on the elements under the section E, ok?" I said. When she nodded I pulled my hoof away and ran over to the destroyed wall.
When I got out, I saw Nightmare standing with an angry scowl. Silently I used observe to look at her stats.
Nightmare Moon
S:6,800
P:7,000
E:12,000
C:27
I/W:8,000
A:7,500
L:-4
Overall:5,903
Ok, so she is more physically fit than Celestia, but doesn't have as high an intelligent, and JESUS LOOK AT THAT LUCK. Did she open an umbrella indoors, that knocked over a salt shaker which scared a cat to dart under a ladder, knocking it over into a magnifying glass, intensifying the suns rays to burn a field of four leaf clovers. Oh wait, that happened to Psycko (Wait what).
Looking into Nightmare's cold angry eyes was difficult to do, mostly due to her size. She towers over everyone, so looking her in the eye is kind of intimidating.
"What an incredible amount of power. It's to bad I will have to snuff it. You could have made a great commander in my new glorious empire." She spoke with a condescending voice. To be honest, it made me want to puke.
I quickly shot a blast of magic out at Nightmare, who put up a shield to protect herself. When I released the blast, Nightmare shot out a volley of magical shots from within her shield at blinding speeds. I quickly created a shield of my own by levitating a wall from the ground in front of me.
As the blasts hit the wall I levitated rubble from the wall behind me and launched them in the direction of the blasts. Immediately after that I rolled out of cover to the right and shot a blast of magic at Nightmare Moon. Nightmare retaliated with a blast of her own, which collided and resulted in a massive explosion that blinded me.
Immediately I levitated a tent structure from the road beneath me for my vision to clear. Soon after I heard pounding against my structure. When my vision returned I breathed in, and gathered a huge amount of magic in my horn.
I then exhaled and released it in all directions.
(Music pause)
The resulting explosion form Led's magic generated a massive wave of energy, one that Nightmare Moon was not prepared for. The resulting force sent her flying backwards into a building, causing it to collapse. As Nightmare sat up from the rubble, she thought to herself.
'Incredible, this pony has shown incredible power with just Kingdom Magic. She must be a prodigy, beyond any in a thousand years. It is simply to bad she's with the sun. She would have made a great commander as I said. '
Suddenly a blast came at her and she set up another shield. It wasn't the time to be thinking.
The battle, had begun.
(Music continue)
I stared down Nightmare as she put up another shield. She then put it down while shooting another beam directly at me, which I dodged and used levitation to create a large crack in the ground underneath Nightmare.
This caught her off guard and used the opportunity to fire a barrage of magic missiles at her. While she recovered from the change in terrain, she wasn't fast enough to put up a shield and got hit will the missiles.
She stood there, panting and slightly injured. I looked above her at her Health and MP to and compared it to my own.
Nightmare Moon
Health:16,342/22,000
MP:8,211/12,000
Led Zeppelin
Health:34,999/35,000
MP:18,980/20,000
Wow. I was not expecting to do that well. Shaking those thoughts out of my head, I started the next major part of my plan. I stared directly into Nightmares eyes, as she glared into mine. Then, I began to activate my spell.
(Music stop)
Her face slowly became unfocused, her eyes slowly glazed, and she started to sway from side to side. It was working. It was a surprisingly difficult thing to replicate. You know how in Naruto Obito placed Yagura in a genjutsu so strong that both him and the three tails were trapped under his power, and then made him massacre all of his villages bloodlines without resistance. Well it's a similar thing here. If Nightmare and Luna are two separate entities like some fan stories suggest, then this will still work.
At multiple points she seemed to try to focus, but she eventually stopped moving all together. I slowly walked up to her, and put up a double layered magic shield in the progress.
When I reached her, she looked back at me with glazed and lifeless eyes. I waved my hoof in front of her a few times, but got no response.
"Bow." I said, testing the commands.
She did so.
All according to my plan.
NO, it's not anything evil. I just wanted to put the mane 6 through their trails without having them be in actual danger, so putting Nightmare under an illusion was a good option.
"Stand strait." I said, she obeyed.
"You are going to put the mane 6 through the pilot episode trails, but interfere if one of them gets to close to death, also, let the Elements hit you." She nodded, and took to the skies.
I watched the Elements hit Nightmare from the entrance to the room. It worked, and the world has been saved. Once Celestia showed up and Twilight and her had their little talk (though without talking about the whole fairy tale thing), I decided to make my presence known.
"Well, that went pretty well." I said, as everyone turned to me.
"Zeppy, I'm so glad you're ok." Twilight said as she hugged me.
"Good to see you to sis." I responded, hugging her back.
"Speaking of sisters." Celestia said, walking over to the unconscious Luna.
I didn't really pay attention to their reunion, but I did when we heard a loud shriek of anger.
"Insolence! Such complete insolence!"
We looked over to the end of the room, where a shadowy alicorn stood. It looked like Nightmare, but intangible. It suddenly shot forward, shifting into a smoking orb shape. It was moving fast towards Twilight. I can't let it hit her, nobody wants a Nightmare Twilight running around. That would be catastrophic! So, I did the only thing I could think of.
I jumped in front of her, and the Nightmare hit me.
And, that moment, everything went white.
But nothing bad happened.

When everything came back into view. I was standing, looking down towards everyone, except for Celestia, who was still taller than me. I looked down at myself, My fur had turned from its rusted red into a silver grey. As sky blue hair fell down to my face, I took a look at it. My mane was much longer now, going down my neck, and it was wavy. I looked at the rest of my body. My body had become much leaner, but had visible muscle, and my cutie mark, It looked the same, but the colors were darker.
I looked back towards the shocked ponies, who were looking back with fear, but Luna and Celestia's expression quickly turned to anger, and they shot a blast at me.
I was in so much shock I could barley get out of the way. Then Celestia looked towards the mane 6.
"Use the Elements, fast, who knows what Nightmare will do now!" I was in shock. They thought I was Nightmare, I hadn't even said anything.
They nodded and started charging the Elements. They're really doing this! Why?! What did I do?!
Then, they fired. A tear streamed down my eye.
Before it hit, everything froze. I looked around, my panicked and betrayed state making it difficult to think. I did the only thing I could think of, and teleported away.
When I opened my eyes, I was in the forest, but I didn't care. I fell into the grooves in the roots next to me.
And I cried.
It felt like an eternity before I could even think again. WHY?! They didn't even say anything! Not a single one of them asked if I was okay! And no questioned like oh I don't know, WHY I WASN'T CACKLING LIKE A MADMARE!!!
Tears continued to stream down my face for what must have been at least half an hour. When I opened my eyes, there was a glow coming from my peripherals. When I turned around, I saw something I didn't expect to see for at least another year.
The Tree of Harmony.
The show never gave it justice in its appearance. The sun and moon, both symbolized in their places, gave off streams of beautiful and powerful magic that swirled around in rivers across the cavern. They were lovely colors of green, red, orange, purple, blue, gray, magenta, and gold as the magic floated through the room.
The tree itself was beautiful shades of blue and purple, and it gave off a great warmth that filled the air.
Seeing something like this was stunning, it almost brought tears to my eyes. Soon enough, I felt small streams coming down my face. I raised a hoof and wiped my eyes. When I brought it down, I gave a close look at the hoof that was now my own. I had not given myself a proper look due to what happened.
I pulled up a magic mirror to examine myself. I was taller, much taller. Although that makes since, due to the fact in the castle I was taller than everyone except Celestia.
My mane was also drastically different. When before it was slick and short, it was now set in long thick sky blue curls. My mane came all the way down my lengthened neck and barrel. My tail also gained the same properties as my mane. My fur had also become a silver gray shade that practically shined under the light.
My horn had also gained several inches, it must be at least nine inches now. It also was much less sharp as it was before, almost as if someone went to town on it with a filer.
With the physical changes out of the way, I changed what I was looking at, and looked inwards. I quickly found my Kingdom Magic as I had so many times, but something was different, like there was more. Strange since I already almost maxed the skill out. Looking around I found two changes. Where my spine met my waist, was a new, strange energy.
It felt, dark and cold if I had to give a description to it. Like as if all of my anger and sadness had been poured into the spot. It also felt strong, not like my Kingdom Magic now, but more like what it was when I first unlocked it.
The second change was at where my spine met my neck. It felt like my Kingdom Magic and my other magic was drawing power diuretically from it. It felt like both my Kingdom Magic, and my other cold magic at the same time, yet it didn't feel like either, it felt, full complete and truly neutral in its existence.

That came as a huge surprise to me, not only do I have Calamity Magic now, but also a third form of magic as well! This is absolutely incredible, but I will focus on that later. Closing that window I looked around again to take my mind off of the sudden and forced feeling betrayal.(Ya wanna catch these hands bitch, I'll make yer life a livin Hell and then kick yer ass while I'm at it)
I opened up my options menu after a moment.
Options:
Save Game
Load Game
Exit Game
Settings
I saved the game, and then took a deep breath to ready myself. Then I pressed 'Exit Game'.
I woke up after a short while, opening my eyes to the start menu I used a while back. Looking at the menu, I opened the 'Cheats' option.
When I first saw that I thought of the Konomi code but skimmed over it, after all what kind of weirdo uses cheats before getting to understand the game first.
When the screen changed I was shown a collection of tons of new options.
Cheats:
Points: 80,000
Arena: 100 An arena for you to battle characters from other series and level up your characters skills and stats.
God Mode: Developers Only Does this even need to be explained.
Cross Play: 12,000 allows skills and stats from all playthroughs to be shared and stacked.
Big Heads: 1 Everyone has big heads, what else needs to be said.
I internally laughed the 'Big Heads' option, but opted against buying it. I skimmed over the other options but didn't find anything of immediate interest with the amount of points I have.
I bought both 'Arena' and 'Cross Play', leaving me with 67,900 points left.
I left the 'Cheats' to see the Arena as an option on the main menu.
The moment I activated I found myself on a huge flat space that looked to be floating in the sky. I was looking around when a window opened in front of me.
The Arena changes to your needs, think of a location and it will change to that location.
I immediately knew what I wanted to change it to. Pushing the thought outwards I felt the world shift. When I reopened my eyes, I was met with the Earth Rumble arena from Avatar Book 2, complete with yelling fans.(They won't actually react to anything yet, as it would distract from training, so don't expect any humor from them for now)
I pushed another thought forward and shifted into my pony form. Now all I needed to do is figure out how to summon other characters and I'll be all set.
Summoning characters requires verbal commands.
I looked at the message. Now I was almost ready, but not fully. I'm still feeling the betrayal I went through. After all of that, I needed something.
"Summon Character."
What series
"Avatar: The Last Airbender."
When
"Post series."
What character
"Iroh."
Just then a sliding sound was made, and small footsteps made their way to the stage. When they got to their peak I saw fully who the man that now stood before me.
Iroh, The Dragon of The West, in his White Lotus uniform.
He silently looked around and stopped and his attention shifted to me. I slowly walked forward towards him, and he did the same to meet me half way.
He gained a look of surprise when I bowed down to him. I then looked at him with a pleading face.
"Iroh, I need your help, please."
"I see, that is quite a difficult situation to be in." Iroh said. After everything that's happened, I needed some spiritual guidance to help me through this.
It certainly wasn't easy to tell all of this to Iroh, and I almost broke down when I got to the betrayal, but Iroh had a certain demeanor and kind aura that made the prosses much easier for me.
"Yes it is, and I have no idea how to fix it or what to do. I decided that the best thing to do right now is to get help from someone, that being you, to get advice on what to do next." I said. Iroh then placed a hand on his chin, deep in thought.
He then closed his eyes while setting his tea on the counter. We were currently in a replica of the tea shop he owned in book 2, which we were using to talk more comfortably, rather than in the middle of an arena.
"The best way for you to get over your pain right now, is to help someone else through their struggles." He said as we both stood, as we walked towards the exit of the shop, he continued. "So find someone to help, and it will alleviate at least some of your pain. I'm sure your friends and mentor will come to the realization that you aren't the evil they have perceived you to be, and your bonds with them will heal." He ended.
I wiped a single tear from my eye that appeared during his speech, and smiled at him. I then took a more serious look, which caused a shift in atmosphere.
"Iroh, I have another request." I said, making him raise an eyebrow.
"I wish to become your student. I may not be able to bend, but having your guidance would certainly help me in my training." I said. Iroh then gained another thoughtful look, and then looked back to me with a smile.
"Of course! I would love to!" He said.
We spent the equivalent of 4 months maxing out my Kingdom Magic, and then dedicated 8 months to Calamity Magic, which was easier to max out due to its similarities and connection to Kingdom Magic.
? Magic was almost to simple to max out, only taking about 2 weeks. Apparently the difficulty of it is simply unlocking it, with all of its knowledge and power coming insanely quickly to those who unlock it. The requirements of gaining ? Magic is to fuse Kingdom Magic and Calamity Magic with someone who has an incredibly close connection to the spirit world, I absorbed Nightmare, and Nightmare is a Calamity Magic powered spirit of Luna's negative emotions, so boom, ? Magic.
I also came up with a name for the new magic, X-Magic, pronounced Key Magic, but referring to the variable X. Seriously, you can do anything with this magic! Want a planet? BOOM! There you go! Want a puppy? BIFF! There you go! It barley even uses any MP, it's insane!
On the day before I was going to say goodbye to Iroh, I had an idea. I then turned to him and he gave me a confused look.
"Iroh, I was thinking. X-Magic can do almost anything right?" He nodded to that. "And Firebenders get their powers from chi, right?" Another nod. "So, is it possible that I could simply make myself a Firebender?" Iroh looked at me with raised eyebrows, and set down the tea he was holding.
"It could certainly be possible. You don't seem to have any hard limits on X-Magic, so it is certainly possible." Iroh mentioned, with a nod, I began gathering my magic. I felt Iroh's chi networks, and did my best to recreating it in my own body.
Then everything went white.
New Skills:
Airbending-Lvl(1)
Waterbending-Lvl(1)
Earthbending-Lvl(1)
Firebending-Lvl(1)
Suddenly my eyes opened, and I was assaulted by the light of the waking world. As the haziness faded I noticed I was in a futon, with Iroh dabbing a wet cloth.
I also felt incredibly weak. I looked up at my Health and MP
Health-400,000/1,000,000
MP-1/80,000,000
Jesus Christ! How did that happen! I looked up at Iroh, as he looked at me with a relived smile. He placed the cloth down in cold water and poured some tea into the cup next to him.
"What, happened?" I asked, my voice a little horse. Iroh took a sip of the tea and placed it back on the tray.
"After you created a chi system in your body, it expanded itself within you. This expansion of energy caused most of your energy to be drained all at once. The initial drain put you into a coma, and your constantly expanding chi is keeping you from returning to full strength immediately. I do not think it is a very good idea to do that again anytime soon." He explained.
I attempted to lift myself up, but was stopped by Iroh, who pushed me back down.
"Your chi is constantly expanding itself to match the strength of your magic, so it will be a while before we can return to your training." Iroh said.
This was going to be a long recovery.
"You know, your original name would likely attract attention to yourself while your friends realize their mistakes. Picking a new name might be of use." Iroh said, pouring his 15th cup of fucking tea. Why would anyone need to drink that much tea?
"Well, it can't be anything close to my current name, so what is something that would have a big enough change to not be suspicious. Change." I rolled over my thoughts as Iroh drank his shitty black tea. Jasmine is way better anyways.
"You seem to be a catalyst for change, that would be a good choice." Iroh said with a chuckle, which made me smile as well.
"Well it would be to simple to just call myself that, so how about putting it into a different language." I said, mulling over the different languages. I eventually decided on one.
"In French it's Catalyseur. How about that?" Iroh gave me a smile as he poured another cup of tea, this time jasmine.
"I think it sound beautiful, like the letters flow over an ocean crashing against the beach." He said as we shared a laugh.
New Name: Catalyseur
I eventually recovered, and we began my Firebending training. It was a long process that included everything from internal heat to Lightningbending and Lightning Redirection. All in all the whole thing took about 10 months.
I can now comfortably say I can defeat Ozai during Sozin's Comet, and look badass while doin it.
Earthbending was not any harder, but it took much more time than Firebending. This was a combination of the fact that Iroh was a Firebender and just how many things Earthbending covers. Everything from Sand bending to Metalbending and even Lavabending took about 2 years.
Waterbending- like Firebending- took about 10 months to max out, and I could even Bloodbend on a level beyond Amon, which is a great accomplishment in my book.
Lastly was Airbending, yeah. That took much longer than the rest. I guess I found what my opposite element is. The gates didn't help at first, but through Iroh's help I found out how to overcome the difficulty.
I started to try to look at things differently, to ignore my instincts and look at every option, and then take the path of least resistance. It worked, and my skills in Airbending skyrocketed. Before we were pushing 3 years, but with this new method I finished mastering it in a month.
I'd say that we were pretty productive.
Today is the day, after all of the training, and the tea, I'm saying goodbye to Iroh.
I stood there, looking at him, he's done so much for me, and I can't thank him enough. I felt tears began to fall down my face, and I felt Iroh's hands wipe them away.
"Don't worry, this won't be goodbye forever, just goodbye for now. If you ever have the need, or just want to talk to an old man, then you can call upon me anytime." He said in a soothing voice. I responded with a huge hug which he returned.
Once we separated, Iroh started to leave the arena. His body was then surrounded by a beautiful whirl of fire of many colors.
And when it parted, he was gone.
I returned to my last save in the Tree of Harmonies cave. I had spent the equivalent of another 4 months to gaining combat experience, something I lacked. I did this by fighting dozens of hundreds of comet powered Firebenders all at once, then I recreated the Clone War(without actually starting a new game) to give a boost to my understanding of grand tactics and politics, and I redid it for 10 years.
I can comfortably concur the world on my own, or by commanding a small group of soldiers.
I had thought about Iroh's advice over the course of my training, and I decided to follow it. I sent out a small pulse of magic with a specific target in mind. It returned and I charged up a teleport, looking over the cave before I blinked away.
When I appeared, I was surprised to see a destroyed and burning underground city. It looked Aztec in design and the cavern looked to be as large as the country side of Ponyville.
I heard the sound of combat, and quickly moved to find it. When I did I was surprised by what I saw.
An injured Queen Chrysalis was being tended to as Changelings desperately fired magic beams at a dragon. He was an electric blue and spikier version of Smaug from The Hobbit. He then exhaled and lightning shot forward, sending the defending Changelings flying back.
"Pathetic. You should be glad that I'm only here for your riches, otherwise I would have simply annihilated you all for being so weak. "
So, this is why the Changelings invaded Canterlot during the wedding. It wasn't just for food, but they had lost their home as well, at least in this world.
The dragon inhaled again, and shot lightning towards Chrysalis, but I jumped in front of her, using Lightning Redirection to send the shot back towards the dragon, sending him flying back.
I looked over to Chrysalis, she had a look of both shock and hope on her face. She seemed unable to stand, and the Changelings tending to her didn't seem much better.
Looking back I saw the dragon standing again, glaring with a killing stare.
"Foolish unicorn. Don't you know who I am! I AM LIGHTNING BOLT ZOLT! GOD OF LIGHTNING! "
I suddenly had the urge to facehoof, but was distracted by another shot of lightning, which I also redirected towards to other end of the cavern, causing a huge stalactite to fall.
"So, foolish pony. What do you think of my power? "
"I think Nickelodeon is gonna sue someone." I said, getting a confused look from everyone.
Shaking my head, I used fire jets to launch forwards. I sent multiple shots of magic while softening the earth under the large dragon. Zolt wasn't fazed by the attacks and sent more shots of lightning at me. Instead of redirecting them immediately I caught and contained all of them while adding my own power to it.
Using Earthbending I lifted multiple pillars out of the nearby ground and sent them at Zolt, which didn't seem to hurt, but acted as a good distraction.
I then created multiple magic clones that all used Iroh's signature fire breathing technique, badly injuring Zolt. I then quickly checked his health.
Zolt:
Health: 1,800/4,000
MP: 400/6,000
...At this point that's pathetic. I landed in front of Zolt and absorbed another shot of electricity, bringing Zolt's MP down to 200.
I then used this opportunity to sink the ground Zolt was standing on, causing slight damage and angering him greatly. I then bent stone blocks to push up against his wings, keeping him from opening them.
I then landed in front of him as he charged up his next lightning blast. I quickly jumped up and ran around to the back of his neck and was ready to impress.
The pony was on the back of the dragons neck when he fired, and then large magic arms protruded out of her horn, and grabbed his ears and neck, forcing his lightning up. Suddenly the lightning started fading and turned to powerful flames, but they too faded. Zolt then fell to the ground, but quickly got up.
The unicorn then got off him and landed on the ground in front of him once again, but this time didn't seem to care about the dragon behind her. This made Zolt very angry.
"Don't you know who you're dealing with?! You insolent pony garbage! " Zolt screamed, and just as he fired another blast of lightning.
Nothing happened.
I watched as Zolt desperately tried to fire more lightning, but to no avail. After about a minute or so, he looked back down at me in anger.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME PONY!? " Zolt angerly spat.
"Shouldn't it be obvious. I took away your lightning. Now you won't be able to hurt anyone with it anymore, but I won't take any chances." I said, slowly going through what must of looked like a dance to the Changelings and the dragon.
Soon enough lightning crackled and shot off of my body, and I quickly focused it between my hooves. Then I shot the lightning directly at Zolt, an attack worth a thousand lightning bolts, hitting him directly in the face.
Time seemed to slow down, as an electric explosion pulsed out from Zolt's body as it was being destroyed by the lightning. I could not let the explosion spread, it would fly in the face of why I came here in the first place. I then created a shield that the lightning blew against, sending thunder across the caverns.
Then I teleported the barrier and the explosion inside above the ocean. Hopefully it wouldn't hurt anyone. I made sure only to teleport the lightning and barrier, so I could study Zolt's body later.
I then turned my head towards Chrysalis, who looked at me with a terrified face.
It was incredible. This pon- no! This goddess just defeated the legendary dragon Lightning Bolt Zolt without any effort. She blocked and redirected all of his attacks, and she took away his lightning, it was truly a sight to see.
But I was also very afraid of what she would so next. When she turned to me I was so scared, not only for myself, but for my Changelings. What would she do now? Bribe us, steal from us, and spirits forbid kill us!
She slowly approached as her muzzle turned to a smile. She stood over me as her horn lit up. I instantly felt like all of my wounds were just never there. I stood up and looked her in the eye.
I was still scared, she killed the dragon that put me down with ease. Her smile remained unchanged as she spoke.
"Hello. My name is Catalyseur, and I would like to offer my help to you." She said.
My introduction certainly shocked Chrysalis, if her expression was anything to go by. She then changed it back to emotionless in order to look more intimidating...
It wasn't working.
"What kind of help?" She asked, still suspicious of me. I merely let my love flow outwards, to which all the Changelings present almost gobbled up on the spot.
"It's clear you and your subjects aren't in the, best of positions. So I thought I could offer you assistance and make your Changelings more self sufficient and safe from future dangers." I said, shocking Chrysalis.
I keep letting my emotions flow as some of the Changelings present couldn't contain themselves anymore. Chrysalis was close to joining them as I saw the strain on her face.
"W-What's in it for you." Said the Changeling Queen, on the verge of gorging herself.
"My friends and loved ones in Equestria have betrayed me. While I have no intention of getting revenge, I need help in healing over that betrayal. I've heard that Changelings are masters of emotion and love, so I came here." I explained. At this point Chrysalis was salivating uncontrollably.
"*Sigh* Just go eat the love, it's going to waste just sitting there." I said, to which Chrysalis nodded and joined the rest of the Changelings in the feast.
This is going to be an interesting development.
(3rd P.O.V.)
Everyone looked at where the elements had hit. There was nothing but a charred spot on the stone. For a moment, all of the ponies stood completely still. One could hear the distant laughs of Discord from his stone prison.
"Uhhh…. anypony know what happened?" Said a very confused Rainbow. No one answered for a moment. Once again, everything was silent.
Twilight slowly made her way over to the scorched stone in front of her. She slowly dragged her hoof on the blackened, thousand year old castle floor. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, but it went unnoticed to everyone in the decaying room.
Sadness also filled Celestia as well. She just lost another close to her, a pony close enough to be her own child. She has her sister back, but lost another in the process. Someone who saw her in her lowest moment, and comforted her with a smile. Now she's... Celestia didn't even know. Whenever the elements acted before, they would always leave a clue to what they did.
The solar princess looked around the room, trying to find any evidence of her whereabouts. At this time the others present started to knock themselves out of their stunned states.
"Sister, what doth thou think happened to that filly?" Said the princess of the night.
"I... don't know. The elements always leave a clue as to what they did, but I can't find any." The elder sister said, a feeling of dread and fear rising within her.
Suddenly her search was halted by the sound of a flash. Quickly turning her head she saw that Twilight was nowhere to be seen.
(Golden Oaks)
It can't be that! Anything but that! The elements would never do that, would they?! I quickly looked through the contents of the library for reference to something like this, not even caring if I disturbed Spike or Smokes sleep. I finally found a book that might help.
I quickly opened the book and stopped at a section that was labeled 'Effects of The Elements'.
The Elements of Harmony are a very strange set of artifacts, connected to a set of users that represent one of their attributes. This allows the elements to be able to tell when the user is a fake or has lost that attribute, in which case they will either destroy the one attempting to use it or cut themselves off from the user.
Another thing to understand is their levels of use. Depending on the strength of the being they are being used against, they can do a multitude of things. They will often seal or petrify their targets, but there has been one known exception.
When the elements were first created, they were a completely different set of artifacts. This set had the attributes Strength, Prosperity, Love, Confidence, Respect, and Spirituality. These ancient elements were used by a group of sages to kill the tyrant warlord Zong Dhuo. After this the elements would go through many changes until their modern form.
While it is highly unlikely, it is possible for the elements to still possess the ability to kill.
No...
I felt my hind legs give out from under me, but I didn't stop it. I curled myself up. It can't, they wouldn't. Tears finally broke through my closed eyes.
The Elements of Harmony, the symbols of harmony and caring.
Killed my sister.
(3rd P.O.V.)
The citizens of Equstria celebrated the defeat of Nightmare Moon, and the return of Princess Luna. Though under the happy joyful partying and drunken debauchery, tears silently fell across both Canterlot and Ponyville. For so you see, for the second time in a thousand years...
The elements split another pair of sisters.
Author's Note
Hey guys, sorry for the slow upload and the shortness of the chapter, but trust me, I'll keep trying to continue this as much as I can dispite my recently bussied school sceduale.
This side story isn't required to read if you want to skip to future chapters that focus on our mane heroine. So be sure to have a nice day/night, and thank you all foal reading this story
(1st P.O.V.)
It's been a little bit since the Changelings gorged themselves on my emotions. When they were full we (Me and Chrysalis) moved into a more comfy looking meeting room. rather than the destroyed stone walls of the throne room, it was like the inside of a woodland cabin. I sat down on a purple pillow as Chrysalis sat across from me.
"Why are you here? It is not often that a unicorn or even pony of your power would come here." Chrysalis question with suspicious eyes. I rolled my own eyes at the question.
"You've already asked me that remember, as I have said before, I wish you help you and your subjects." I said. Chrysalis blushed at her blunder before quickly returning to her suspicious glare.
"How do I know I can trust you?" She said with her draconic eyes attempting to stare into my soul. I opened my mouth to respond, but then decided to try something else. I got up and moved directly towards her as she flinched at the sudden movement.
I used some subtle Bloodbending to keep her in place as I touched our horns together. I showed some of my memories to her (minus the gamer parts) and stepped back when they were over. She looked at me with a neutral face.
"Very well, I believe you. Though I am curious, what do you intend to do with us?"
"I want to create a place where species of all different types can live together in peace. I felt that splitting up the world by species was not a good idea, and since I was a child, I always wanted to see different species from all over the world come together and create something truly beautiful and harmonious." I said looking towards the window into the caverns. I turned back to Chrysalis as she listened intently.
"The first step is to get the assistance and support of all the leaders of each species. You were the closest."(also I wanted to have Chrysalis become a major character in this story)
"Well then you have my support. It would be very beneficial for us to join in on this plan, as we have fallen far behind in magical, cultural, and technological development in recent years." Chrysalis responded. I put a hoof to my chin.
"That simply won't do."
"Why?" She said with a hint of annoyance and fear, two emotions I didn't think could go together.
"In order for this to work, all of the species involved will need to be able to contribute to the project. If you are truly that far behind, then you will have to improve your situation before we can begin." I said, making Chrysalis furrow her brow in rage. Suddenly she teleported us to the desert surface.
"SURE! WE CAN JUST MAKE HUGE ADVANCEMENTS WITH ALL THESE RESORCES WE DON'T HAVE!" She exclaimed in anger as she threw her front hooves into the air. She continued to rant as I thought about a possible solution. Was I to hard on her after she barely survived a dragon attack? Probably. Am I right that the Changelings need to bring something unique to the table? Yes. What should I do?
"I have an idea." I said, interrupting the Changeling queens rant.
"You do? But how can you help us to advance quickly enough to be apart of this plan?" She asked, time to get to work.
"Simple. I turn The Badlands from an empty desert into a recourse filled tropical rainforest. It should be enough to sustain you for quite some time. And in order to solve any food shortages you have in the future, I will include plants that can be cultivated and farmed by Changelings." I said as the queens mouth opened in shock.
"Ca-Can you really do that?" Her surprise was evident in her voice. I simply nodded and proceeded to use my X-Magic. Chrysalis then flew into the air in order to not interrupt me.
The changes were almost immediate. Trees, shrubs, and other plants quickly sprouted out of the ground and filled the entire desert in seconds. Next huge varieties of earth animals filled the empty space and began to move around the new jungle.
Chrysalis landed with her jaw on the floor at the huge rainforest that had just popped up. I waved her over as she shook herself out of shock.
"What now?" The Changeling monarch questioned.
"Now I will give you the knowledge on this new forest, then you will use this opportunity to bring your species to a new age of advancement. Then when I gather the other members of the project, I will return to check on your progress." Chrysalis then put a hoof to her chin and then nodded.
Then before anything else could be said I flew off in my next destination, being sure to use an invisibility spell to not be tracked.
Speaking of my project, I need a name for it... I've got it.
New Harmony Tm
Author's Note
Hey guys, sorry for being so late to upload. School has been a nightmare
Anyways i'm going to try to upload more consistantly as well as finally getting to work on a few other stories i've had on the backburner for far to long.
So have a nice day/night and stay un poco loco
It has been about a week since I started gathering leaders for project New Harmony, and it certainly has a few involved.
First was the griffins, who have been in a depression for the last few years, not as long as the changelings, but long enough to make them want to join the project.
Next was the breezies, who were much harder to convince due to their size, but after using x-magic to make them grow a little and increase their weight they happily joined up.
After that was several tribes of diamond dogs, who quickly join when I magicked them some gems.
Then there was several dragon groups who joined up when they saw potential for gold and other riches.
Finally, the hippogriffs joined after hearing from the grapevine what I was doing. They also brought the seaponies into the mix.
I would have gotten minotaurs, but they refused, saying they already had what they needed, and I can respect them for refusing, so I told them should they change their minds they are welcomed.
Now we were meeting up on an "island" on a map I provided them with. This island doesn't exist yet, because I was going to make it.
As I reached the location I specified I gathered my magic and went to work. The outline quickly formed, being at least 250,000 square miles. Now some would think, is that even an island? That land is for the actual project, the island for the meeting I'll build after. I filled the empty space with hilly areas and flatlands that would be easy to build on, and then I filled it with wild grasses and flowers to fertilize the soil a bit more.
Then I created the meeting island. It was easy to make the foundation. after that was done I created a huge marble building, looking like a mix between the U.N. headquarters and the Taj Mahal. I then filled the empty space on the island with flowers and other garden plants, and a pool in the courtyard leading to the entrance of the building.
Slapping down some ports was easy too. After all of that was done I just have to wait for their arrival.
Chrysalis arrived first, by steam boat no less, and boy did she change. Her and her escorts looked like post season six changelings, with Chrysalis being a creamy white with bright green highlights. She smiled as she saw me.
"Hello, it's great to see you again." The queen said as she approached me, I smiled as she did so.
"It's good to see you too. I can already tell you've been working hard since I left." I said as the cream colored monarchs eyes were filled with excitement.
"Those resources you gave us worked wonders. We were able to get centuries of advancement in just a week, i's incredible! We even evolved!" She said, making me raise an eyebrow.
"Evolve?"
"Changelings normally look the way we do now, the black hole filled stage is sort of an adolescence stage. We normally evolve after consuming enough emotions, but our situation didn't give us a change to gather enough emotion for us to evolve." The cream changeling explained, as I made an 'o' face. She then was escorted into the hall.
Next was the griffins, who surprisingly sent Gilda as their ambassador, she was quiet and simply bowed before walking into the hall. She is a lot more business like than I expected.
After that was the dragons, who sent a intelligent faded blue colored dragon named Korn. An odd name, but I won't judge. We conversed for a minute before he entered the hall as well.
One by one, the different ambassadors entered the hall, or as many have already takin to calling it, The Hall of Order.
The hall was filled with sound as the ambassadors conversed with each other, but the sound was quickly extinguished as I walked on stage. I coughed into my hoof and began speaking.
"Today we are gathered to make history. The struggling times many of us face have caused much strife, and some had lost hope. Now those of us who have suffered have a chance for change, and a chance to create a world that is truly beautiful. A world where griffins, changelings, dragons, and all species from all walks of life can gather and work in harmony with one another. It is with great honor that begin this historic meeting." I stepped of the podium as everyone started to applause.
I looked over to see reporters and news journalists from multiple nations write down my speech and take pictures as I spoke. When I returned to my seat Gilda spoke up.
"The Griffin Kingdom has agreed to sent raw ores and domesticated animals to other nation as a sign of good will, as well as to show that we will do all we can to help our allies." She said before sitting down. After doing so I stood and spoke into my microphone, which many of the others present didn't know what to do with.
"The Griffins will be compensated for their contribution, as well as receive economic aid for part two of the project." I said, confusing the rest of those present.
"As you have most likely seen on the way here, this island is not the only one here. The second island is for part two of New Harmony, which will be a joint island colony between all of the nations involved." I finished, causing many to murmur among themselves for a moment before Korn spoke.
"As the representative of the dragons I must ask why we must do such a thing." He said, causing more murmurs.
"It is simple. A group of colonists from each nation working together will create new insights and exposure to new ideas that will cause an age of mutual prosperity between all of those involved. For example, the griffins are known for their vast ore and mineral deposits, and the diamond dogs know how to use those metals in many different formats, such as creating collars and sometimes strong weapons. Am I correct?" A nod from both Gilda and the diamond dog representative. "The diamond dogs would receive huge amounts of ore from the griffins, which then share what they produce, as well as giving their knowledge back to the griffins, and the griffins are also known for their stone work, which knowledge for that can also be exchanged, and this passing of ideas and resources will provide an opportunity for inspiration." I concluded, to which everyone once again applauded.
The rest of the meeting went smoothly, and multiple trade deals and economic aid plans were quickly created. In the end we all put our signatures on a treaty detailing the project and the deals. During the signing multiple pictures were takin and all of the ambassadors left to speak of the agreement.
All in all, a pretty productive day.

WAIT! DON'T LEAVE YET!
If you liked this, than you should read my other current story "My Little Program", I would love feedback and suggestions.
Please
It had been a week since the meeting in the hall and a lot is happening. The trade of minerals and metals from the griffins had kick started their economy, and allowed them to grow as rapidly as the changelings. The other nations also had a boost from this international trade, and has sparked new ideas and works all across the world.
But this isn't about that, so lets move on.
Luna was waking up from a night of watching dreams and nightmares. She had been doing so for the entirety of her time back in Equestria, trying to make up for her failures, but it will never be enough. Her time as Nightmare Moon could never be undone, and the aftermath of her actions effects her sister and those close to her.
Her sister had boarded herself in her room ever since she got back, and her student, the lavender unicorn, suffered much. Her relationships with her friends has all but ceased, especially with her niece Cadence (whom she just recently met), as if that mare was the glue that held her together, and it seems she was. At the very least, her parents seems to be comforting her through this time.
As she left her room she noticed the guards were giving her varying degrees of hateful glares. That mare seems to have been friends with many of the guards.
She entered into the empty dining hall, where a breakfast sat ready for her. As she ate a maid set down a news paper next to her before leaving in a hurry. Luna lifted pieces of her pancakes into her mouth on her fork while levitating the paper in front of her so she could read, it all was seemingly uninteresting, until she noticed she started in the wrong section, and saw the front page.
I was a picture of that mare that The Nightmare took over, signing a paper with a group of other species, and were surrounded by reporters and journalists. Knowing The Nightmare it was up to something evil, she knows it in her gut.
She immediately dropped everything and shot off towards The Hall. Intent on fixing her mistake before it could do anymore damage.
As she shot off, the paper falls to the ground, revealing the title she didn't even bother to read.
ITAGA Established And Many Are Polarized On the Development
(ITAGA: International Trade And Growth Agreement)
It has been about oh... about two days since the agreement has been signed, and I say things are going relatively well. The trading between nations is creating a small growth of economic prosperity already, with projected growth to maybe lead to first world development within the first year or two, with possible estimate of 20 million to be lifted from poverty, with more following every year.
I was standing on the island, was it even an island really? It's as big if not larger than Texas (My home state, not very accurately depicted in media for some reason), I do believe that Greenland is larger than Texas too right? And it's classified as an island, so does this count as an island?
I was brought out of my silent pondering by a blast to the back, which was more like a weak flick so I almost didn't notice it. It was Luna, and she looked like a mare on a mission. Without another word she fired more blasts of magic which I parried away into the distance with little effort.
She touched down about a few hundred feet in front of me and then shot towards at supersonic speeds. As she was less than a foot away, I shifted on my left side and let her continue to move, at what to me looked like a snail running from a piece of salt. I bended a chunk of earth and hit her in the stomach, which launched her upwards. I proceeded to follow with my levitation.
When she stopped herself she fired bolt after bolt of magic after me, which I parried once again. I responded with a bolt of my own, which she dodged. The bolt continued to travel until it hit ground beyond the horizon, and a huge explosion filled said horizon. Luna watched it in shock as it dissipated.
She turned back to me and summoned a weapon into he hooves, along with some armor. The weapon was a double sided battle axe, and Spartan style armor, both midnight black. I responded with my own weapon, and I summoned a staff into my hoof, it was similar to Whis's staff in appearance, but had no powers of its own.
Luna charged forward and swung downwards, hitting my staff. In her desperate struggle to overpower me I shot her in the eyes with some magic. As she was temporarily blinded by the attack she started swinging around angerly, like a dog whose owner is trying to take its toy. I easily avoided her flailing by simply moving back, before blasting her out of the sky with a magic beam.
A she hit the ground a dust cloud filled the air. I dispersed it with Airbending and landed in front of the panting Luna. Her armor was in pieces and her axe was split in half.
"I will not..." She said in rage, will not what?
"I will not..." She said louder, spit it out already! Why are you here?!
"I WILL NOT LET YOU HUT ANYPONY ELSE!" Oh, so I found her problem. She thinks I am The Nightmare, the one whose done so much harm.
She charged forwards with all of her remaining strength, which even to someone like Trixie would seem slow. She swung her broken axe at me over and over again, each time slowing down a little bit more, before stopping entirely, and standing shakily, still holding onto her axe with her hoof, which doesn't make any sense biologically but magic exists so meh.
She stared at me with the strength of a million deaths, but didn't move. I looked to her stats.
Health: 137/ 20,000
MP: 22/ 14,000
I took that into mind as I walked towards her. She started to look terrified before trying to move or escape, it would have worked, had I not started to pull her towards me with my Bloodbending.
She started speeding up to me before I wound up my staff in my hoof.
And I hit her in the face, knocking her out.
Author's Note
Hoped you enjoyed this chapter, I will do my best to post throughout the summer. Also if you haven't already, could you look at My Little Program, you don't have to, but I would very much appreciate it if you gave it a look.
Thank you and have a nice day/night/life.
(Is this 👆 a personal attack or something?)
I can see how Luna would know about my survival, with the publication of New Harmony and other such agreements it was bound to happen, apart from the fact no Equestrian journalist or reporters were present. I could even understand how she would once again mistake my intentions, with my lack of interaction with her to this worlds seemingly idiotic way of handling ponies personalities. What I don't understand is the fact that this fucking games definition of strength, it makes no sense!
Moving on from that, Luna. Dear Skya, (comment if you remember her) the mare was pissed. Luckily she hasn't woken up from that beat down I gave her -about 4 hours ago, so that's given me some time to prepare. I built an underground cell for her. Now, this was more like a luxury hotel room, rather than a prison cell. I went with a Victorian style with fine wall papers and the like, and I can say that, while I am not any Rarity, I am fairly good at interior decoration.
When she wakes up, she will be in a very comfortable room.
Which will be perfect for a very stern talking to.
Cadence suddenly shot upright in her bed. She didn't know why, but she felt something bad is about to happen, and it involved one of her aunties. She shrugged it off and went back to sleep with a sad expression, missing the one pony she wished to see more than anything else.
She slowly started to drift back into the dream realm, she looked across at an unopened box.
I walked into the room to see Luna, still asleep in her bed. I never truly understood why bronies shipped themselves with her. Of course she is a very stunning mare, but her problems , in my opinion, are far to many to count. (You're on thin fuckin ice my pedigree chum)
First, and the most important of her flaws is that she threw the equivalent of a catastrophe level temper tantrum. Seriously! She wanted attention! I can understand her want to not be isolated and to be appreciated by her subjects and sister, but even those subjects do incredible amounts of hard work and labor, and they don't even get payed for it! The fact that those ponies were basically forgotten and buried without any appreciation or reward. Hell, the Apple family have been harvesting and selling apples since before Lunas banishment, and I've never once heard anyone ever even mention them.
I would have kept ranting, but the sounds of the stirring lunar princess (and the sound of angry clacking keyboards over how awful I am for thinking Luna has flaws) took my attention away from that. I suddenly had a horrible, yet incredibly fun idea pop into my head. I poofed some cleaning utensils into existence with my magic, put on a maid disguise, and began cleaning the room.
(Luna's Perspective)
The pain in my skull was the very first thing I felt. What happened to me. I groaned a little before a faint noise came to my ears.
"Fly me to the moon."
The word moon quickly brought me to full attention, but what caught my attention right after was the room I found myself. It was an unfamiliar style, but it looks very beautiful. I looked around a little more and spotted a unicorn maid dusting the furniture, which also looked fairly peculiar. It was then I heard another sound.
"Let me play among the stars."
It was then that I realized that the maid was the one singing. I listened intently, hoping to hear more of her voice. To be true, it was quite a lovely voice. Suddenly the maid turned to see me sitting up. She giggled before speaking.
"Sorry, I didn't realize you were awake. I suppose I could talk to you in this form, but why should I? You already know who I am." I didn't know what she was saying, until a blue and silver magic stream formed around her. She grew to be much taller than me, and her mane and tail grew long and wavy. Memories came rushing back as I saw her face.
"NIGHTMARE!" I said as I immediately charged her, only to be frozen midair. I felt the warmth in my body be forcibly pulled away from my face to my wings and behind. I couldn't move a single muscle. I tried to use my magic, but it fizzled out as I saw a magic dampener on my horn. She had me completely defenseless. I looked to see her blank expression, her mane waved from the shockwave of my charge.
I looked at Lunas frightened face, as I mentally prepare myself some more to speak. As much as I liked that little prank, it didn't make much sense and probably wouldn't help in the long run. I took a few steps towards her and lifted her up with my bending.
"Well princess, I didn't expect you to find me so soon, considering that there were no ponies present at my little international meeting. I would like you to tell me though, why did you attack me?" I said as Lunas face filled with anger, overshadowing her fear.
"WHY ELSE!? I KNOW THOU ART UP TO NO GOOD NIGHTMARE! WHAT ART THOU PLANNING!?" She screamed out. Wow, royal voice much. I pulled her close to me and put her ear to my muzzle.
" would recommend that you keep your voice down, you are in no position to be giving me orders. Understood?" I saw her nod and proceeded with our little chat.
"So how did you know I was here?"
"I saw it in a newspaper that was imported from the griffon kingdom." Well that explains how she knew I was here, but it doesn't explain why she attacked me.
"If you knew I was here, then you should know that I've been trying to help the other nations." I deadpanned to her.
"Huh?"
"*sigh* Did you even read the entirety of the paper?" A head shake conformed my thoughts. I sighed once again and recreated the article with my magic. She quickly read through it and let it down.
"Oh."
"That's all you have to say."
"What else is there to say? Even if you're helping them, I know it's a part of your plan Nightmare. You'll use this to take over Equestria, I know it." Oh for Skylas sake, this mare.
"Let me make one thing clear to you princess." I brought her face inches from mine. "I. AM NOT. NIGHTMARE MOON! AND I NEVER WILL BE! THE NIGHTMARE IS DEAD! BECAUSE I DESTROYED IT!" I said as I threw her onto the bed, opened the door, slammed it behind me, and locked it.
Author's Note
Sorry if this chapter was low quality. I had a really hard time moving this part of the plot along. To be honest at this point I'm pulling this out of my ass. Please forgive me. I'm sorry if this was disappointing.
Here I am, back in The Arena. After being called 'Nightmare' so many times by a mare who doesn't know any better kind of pissing me off. Besides, this is the perfect chance to work out my accumulated frustrations and making myself even more overpowered at the same time.
The first thing I do in the The Arena is set it up as a cityscape. Sort of like what you would see in one of the crime shows, although not as large. I've decided that the first thing to add to my ever improving arsenal would be some JoJo stuff, or at least spells that are similar enough.
To me, the most important world is Dios stand. I've never watched Stardust Crusaders in its entirety, but I have seen enough clips to know that it's a very useful ability. Let's be honest here, stopping time is stupid strong, no matter how you slice it.
"Summon enemy."
Series
"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"
Character
"Dio"
Season
"Stardust Crusaders"
Summoning Dio: Stardust Crusaders
"What the-? Where the hell am I!?" The newly arrived vampire said to himself. I used my Calamity Magic to make myself entirely invisible and silent as I approached. He instantly could tell something was off. He looked around and homed in on me in an instant.
"I know you're there, why don't you show yourself instead of acting like a coward!" He said in his annoying snobbish voice, I can tell already he is gonna be an annoyance. I decided to shapeshift myself into a copy of Johnathan Joestar within my cloaking spell. Hey, why not? This will make it easier to possibly make it harder for Dio to fight, what with the man he's fighting not only being dead, but a dead man whose body is what his head's attached to.
As the invisibility let up I started to speak. "Well, Dio. It has been quite a long time since I've seen you." As soon as the vampire saw my face his expression turned into shock and fury.
"YOU?! HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?!!?!?" He screamed, in less than a moment, he crossed the distance between us, blowing me away with a series of punches. They didn't hurt, in fact they didn't even tickle, but I want Dio to get cocky and explain how his stand works.
"Gah!" I spat blood, fake of course, from my mouth as I hit a nearby building. I looked up to see Dio land in front of me with a slight smirk. I quickly crouched down and teleported behind him. I then bended lighting into my palms as I proceeded to punch him in the face a dozen times, before kicking him through the same building I landed in.
"Grrrrr… INSOLENT BASTARD!!!" Dio screamed as he flew up into the air. "I SHALL SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCE IN OUR POWERS!!!"
Here it comes.
"ZA WARUDO!!!"
… I can't move, though that's to be expected, what with me not having a stand, as well as not having any clue how this works. I watched Dio as he cockily approached me. He proceeded to pull out a knife he got from... somewhere and shoved it into my neck, though, time is still stopped, so I can't feel it.
"Poor JoJo, you're so outclassed by my new power. I almost feel sorry for you. You see, The power of my stand, The World, is to stop time, while being able to move around in it. Though, you won't ever know that, with that poor unsuspecting look on your face. Look at you, you don't even know that you're dead." This definitely isn't enough to kill me, but he doesn't need to know that. Yet.
In the moments time stopped I began feeling what changed in the area around me, trying to discern any difference between now and when time is moving. It's not magic, nor is it Hamon related, then what about... oh, so that's how you do it.
As time moved forward I fell onto my back in the street. I closed my eyes while using a spell to see outside of my body. I watched as Dio silently walked away, all with an unsuspecting, shit eating grin on his face. I let him get a solid thirty feet away before loudly jumping back up. I stared at Dio as his eyes widened in shock.
"How? HOW DID YOU SURVIVE BEING STABBED IN THE NECK!? I DON'T UNDERSTAND!" I let out a pulse, feeling out the change I felt, confirming my hypothesis. I let out another pulse as time began to slow, Dio's eyes widening even more as his whole body seized up.
I approached Dio as he stood frozen, aware of everything around him, but unable to do anything. It truly is pathetic, but now that I have this power, I have no further use in playing along with his games. Wow, I sounded so evil there...
When I reached Dio I decided to end it quickly. I created a flashpoint fire in my palm, before adding tons of MP into it, creating a large building size sphere of orange flames in my palm. I then compressed it as it slowing shifted to yellow, then to blue, and then to white.
I looked at Dio one last time, pointed the ball of white light at him, and released it.
He died instantly.
As I released the time stop, I saw a purple aura surround me, in an instant a pony emerged from my body, a pony I was familiar with.
Nightmare Moon, but something was different. I could also see myself, as if I were looking through her eyes. We continued to look at each other as I realized what happened, and both of us gained a shocked expression.
Nightmare Moon, is my stand.

Ping!
What the fuck was that?
Update 1.01 Released:
New cheats added to Cheats menu
Multiple game mechanics added, including a new difficulty option
Character/Skill leveling reworked (Seriously those numbers were getting ridiculous)
"Plastic Surgery" Mechanic added to options menu
Playthrough/Character Crossover added
For a better explanation, open "Update List" in the Options menu
I stared at the window for what felt like the longest time (Here ). The word repeated itself hundreds of time inside my head, until I finally just snapped.
"WHAT THE FUCK!!!!?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS FUCKIN UPDATES?!?" And that was just the start of an hour long tangent, so I'll get back to you in an hour or so *Insert walking out of studio and closing door sound effect*. (Holy shit she left... How? WAIT THERE'S A DOOR HERE!? I'VE BEEN HERE FOR DAYS AND I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT!? THE FUCK!? ...Whatever, I guess I'll have to entertain you all until she.... he... they get back. So I guess I'll make some small talk. So hey. I'm Psycko, you know, the guy who writes this story. Anyways, what do you guys like to have for breakfast if you eat breakfast? During what time do you think Minecraft was at it's peak? Naruto or Dragon Ball? Cake or cookies? *Click* Oh thank god. I never want to do that again!). "-AVING 11 GOD DAMN SEASONS ABOUT ICE TRUCKERS ON THE FUCKING HYSTORY CHANNEL WHEN FIREFLY ONLY GOT 1 SEASON!!!!!"
I heaved in a huge sigh of air, and slowly let it out. I sat down and The Arena Shifted into a small tea shop on a lake side. As it did so I summoned a cup of tea to me as I pondered what to do. Obviously I have no idea what's going on, nor do I know how I got a stand. I also don't understand (ba dun tsh) why it's Nightmare Moon. Though those are questions for later, cause right now I need to check this update.
Leveling Rework: Stats and levels were considered by multiple sources to be ridiculous and large to be an accurate statistic, so the numbers for all character over 20 in a stat is being lowered, but will keep the same amount of strength or power in that stat. As a result, all characters with stats lower than 20 are getting an indirect buff, which is to help balance the game.
Skills will also be changed, instead of working in a 1 to 1000 gradient system, the numbers will simply be 1 to 100, but will still be the same. For example, a level before would have been a 345/1000, now it is simply 34/100. The 5 is still present, but is unseen due to wishing to keep the numbers shorter.
Plastic Surgery: You can now change the appearance of any of your characters/avatars at any time, although none of those you know will recognize you, so be careful. Disclaimer: The effect of others not recognizing you will only occur if the change is significant, so if you just change your eyebrow shape others will still recognize you. P.S. This can also effects extensions of yourself such as a Stand or Spirit Weapon.
Playthrough/Character Crossover: Versions of characters from other playthroughs or avatars and those you have befriended in The Arena will now appear in other playthroughs. This means if you have a very different version of Naruto in one playthrough, he could randomly show up in your JoJo's Bizarre Adventure run. They will also retain any memories they make while involved in your other runs. You can tell them who you are, and they will then be able to recognize you if it happens again. You can also choose to replace cannon characters with the versions you meet in The Arena, so if you get trained by Whis, You can make it so that version of him will show up in your next run of Dragon Ball.
That's about all. Ciao!
.........Oh my god... That's a lot to take in. So, if I can now freely change the appearance of my characters... What a freaky/lucky coincidence.
I quickly went into the Plastic Surgery menu, and started to give my stand a severe makeover. I changed The blackish purple with a cool blue, and replaced the mane and helmet with a crown of ice spikes. I also gave her clothing resembling that of Tulius's armor from Skyrim, except cyan in color, with white highlights. I also gave her a regal white cape to mix with the other changes. Finally I finished by flattened her teeth and made her eyes less cat like.
When I was done I was much more confident in my stand. If I didn't already know who my stand was I wouldn't be able to tell. This certainly at least helped me calm down. Now to solve this problem the way I solve all of my problems.
Training.
Author's Note
Hey guys, thanksfor reading my short chapter, sorry if it was to short for your taste. I've been facing a writers block for a while, so i didn't really know what I was doing.
So if you're reading this now I want you to have a fantastic day AND High fives all around *Wa-psh* *Wa-psh* And I will see all you dudes, IN THE NEXT VIDEO!
Training, Stand Edition (Part 1)
You may now know of my new stand, thus, you may also know of its previous appearance. Yeah, lucky it's fixed, so it should be all good, right? Well, not really.
You see, assuming that they would be able to see the stand, speaking of which, it doesn't have a name. I'll do it later. Anyways, if any pony saw an alicorn type being with a menacing aura come out of a persons body, you would assume something was up. Those types of reactions could range from your eyes tricking you, to OMG SHE'S POSSESSED BY AN EVIL SPIRIT! GET THE PRIEST! JUST NOT PUCCHI! Yeah, probably not the best idea neh?
Anyways, I want to see what this stand can do. First I need to see what I can do with this time stop. I should start with something small, but that's not really my style.
Summoning: Avdol(Post Hol Horse)
From: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
The Arena shifted to an island surrounded by an infinite ocean. This should be interesting. A ball of light then filled the space across from me, as I once again made myself invisible. As the light faded, Avdol appeared, immediately on alert.
"What the? Mr. Joestar? Kakyoin? Jotaro? Iggy?..." Avdol stood there for a short while, his Magicians Red at the ready, looking like some sort of cult demon. "Where am I?" He continued as he slowly moved across the small island. I feel like this would be a good time to introduce my stand, though not myself, BECAUSE I'M A PONY THAT'S WHY!
My stand faded into existence as a cold, menacing aura filled the area. Avdol immediately saw it and prepared for a fight. I tested the movement of my Stands joints for a moment as the red hot bird stared into the chilled eyes of my Stand, who returned the glare with her cold cyan iris. As I finished testing the movement capabilities of my Stand, Avdol finally spoke again.
"What matter of Stand is this. I've never seen an equine Stand before." He said as he pulled out a collection of tarot cards. He flipped through them without looking, and pulled one out. He looked at it in surprise.
"Temperance." He said, oooooooooh. Such a cool name, just need to add an awesome first name.
"My name is Queen Temperance. I brought you here to request something of you." Oh my goodness, my own Stand just gave me chills. Avdol gained a look of mixed shock and confusion before hardening to a battle ready face.
"What do you want from me, Temperance?" He asked calmly, his own stand preparing its flames, ready for an attack.
"You see, I've only recently gained my Stand, and I don't know its full capabilities, nor its potential. So I want to battle some of the strongest stand users in history, so I can get a better understanding of where I 'Stand'." Temperance said with very little emotion (I SEE WHAT THEY DID THERE).
Avdol stood there for a moment, pondering what is going on, he had recently almost been killed by Hol Horse, and now has been spirited away to an unknown area, with this strange stand requesting to fight him, to test its own ability.
"I must say, given what has happened recently, this is certainly not the most bizarre thing that has happened to me. But i need to ask, where are my friends?" I thought he might ask this.
"Don't worry, we are in an area outside the natural flow of time. Once we are finished, you will be sent back to where you were before coming here, and to your friends, not even a moment will have passed to them." Temperance said, as Avdol started thinking again.
For a moment, everything stood still. Wind blew through the space between the two of us, neither moving an inch. As the fiery shaman pondered his reaction, he began pacing around the island, with both Stands following suit. Both Stands continued to glare at each other, their eyes filled with both anger and cold indifference. Eventually, Avdol stopped moving (thinking), and stared directly at Temperance.
"Very well. I shall engage with you in combat. Are you ready?" He said with a smirk, his Magicians Red creating chains of fire around him.
"YES! I AM!" Temperance responded, getting a chuckle from Avdol.
"THEN LET US BEGIN!" "PREPARE TO FIGHT!"

Hey you guys! This is the first part of what I am calling the Stand Towers Arc. This is a mini arc that with effect the use of Queen Temperance in the future. Why? Because the outcome of this arc will be dicided by you guys.
You comment what Stands abilities you would like to see Temperance gain, and who you think our hero would have to go through to get them. I will take the 2 best choices and incorperate it into the story.
This choice is yours and yours alone! So be sure to think long and hard! And don't forget to have a wonderful day!
Training, Stand Edition (Part 2)
"CROSSFIRE" Avdol shouted as his stand shot its signature attack at Temperance. The stand responded by dashing towards the flames, intending to power through it.
Immediately after Magicians Red broke apart the attack, spreading the flames around my stand and formed the strands of fire into needles, and proceeded to fire them at my stand from all directions. Temperance began dodging and twisting its body in multiple directions, with the flames sliding past her like bullets.
When nearly all of the flames were past her Avdol simply spun the needles of flame around to continue his assault. There's not really much I can think of in this situation besides the first power I used with my stand.
"QUEEN TEMPERANCE: THE WORLD!"
I quickly moved Temperance out of the way of the fire, and positioned it behind Avdol. I then used the opportunity to launch a hind kick into his back, moving him forward a tiny bit in the frozen gravity.
One second has passed.
"UWAAR!" Shouted Avdol as he shot forward through the air, His body flying through the flames he was using not a second earlier in his assault, causing them to disperse. He skidded on the ground mere inches from the water, scraping his arms some and dirtying his clothing.
He quickly righted himself and turned to Temperance, clutching his back in pain as he stood. His left eye closed in pain as he seemingly starting using the empty moments to think of a new plan.
Magicians Red then started shooting fireballs at a rapid pace. The fire hitting areas around Temperance, but not really the stand itself.
This continued for some time, as me and my stand shared a confused look, pointed in Avdol's direction. He then finished shooting fire and simply crossed his arms with a satisfied grin.
Suddenly, the flames on the ground started shooting strands of fire in nearly all directions, with them connecting to each other in a web of flame, somehow even creating a web in the air. The spider web of flame stretched across the entirety of the small island, apart from the area immediately in front of Avdol.
As they shot around Temperance, some managed to scrape it, singeing its fur slightly. At least that's what would of happened if the fur didn't pull away to reveal ice within the wound.
This reveal of the icy flesh surprised Avdol and myself, as I quickly tried to come up with a solution to get past this fiery spiders nest I've found my way into.
Temperance started shaking at rapid speeds, which confused Avdol out of his concentration, but he quickly steeled himself as he launched a Crossfire at Temperance. His Aim was true and Temperance was shattered into shards of ice and steam.
Avdol stood there for a moment, attentive to anything of interest around him. Moments became seconds, seconds became a minute, and a minute became a minute and a half.
Temperance's shards then turned to dark steam that formed into a large black cloud, which formed large shadows around it, which seemed to eat up the light around it.
The cloud then surrounded Avdol, who was attempting to destroy the hot steam cloud with his fire, but it would only disperse it for a moment, before it would come back together.
Within the cloud multiple hoofs formed around Avdol, which he couldn't see due to the steam in his eyes. If you've seen JJBA at any point, you should know what happens now. It's time to use these hooves in an Ora Ora attack. (Go to 0:37 in the song)
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"
"ORA!"
Avdol was sent flying up for a full twenty seconds, before hitting the ground with a loud thud. (End song)
After healing Avdol, I quickly healed him. I also made sure not to show my face and simply used my stand. I think it would be slightly awkward if he saw that I was a pony. After that I decided to ask him how I did. His response was a chuckle.
"It should be obvious that you hold an advantage over me, but I believe you still have much to learn. It was obvious from your expression that you didn't know about one of your abilities until it was uncovered by someone else. Remember, you must be properly prepared before entering a battle, as its victor can often be decided by their preparation for a conflict, rather than their actions in the conflict itself." He said sagely.
"Thank you Avdol, truly." I said, to which he smiled as he faded back to his world.
"No, I believe that my thanks should go to you. You gave me some experience that may become useful in future encounters." With that he disappeared from the island with a flash of light.

Hey guys. I know it's been far to long and it probobly wasn't a good idea to be away for this long, but i'm gonna try to get back into the swing of things.

The Green Print Run: Race Start!
It had been only a month since Led Zeppelin had (supposedly) perished due to the actions of the princesses and the wielders of The Elements of Harmony. The lands across the world were happy at the fact that they were no longer in danger of eternal night, however the relationship between teacher and student has been very much strained.
Twilight has lived in the town of Ponyville for the time since the solstice, but has kept in contact with her friends and family through Spike and Smokes' magic fire breath. Her parents have accepted the events that transpired wasn't her fault, and had repeatedly told her so, but that didn't stop her from blaming herself.
Her friends didn't completely cut her off, but their relationships were very much strained. It wasn't until now that Twilight had realized how much her friendships were built on the foundation of her sisters more outgoing nature. Moondancer and surprisingly Cadence were the most supportive about helping her, at one point even offering to visit to help her, but Twilight suspected Cadence offered it because she was in as much pain as she was.
Surprisingly the mares who she had recently become friends with had become her closest emotional pillars, offering her empathy and care when she was in that first slump of emotion.
She had recently taken up to writing to princess Luna recently as well, who kept her updated on her mentor's emotional state, which didn't seem to be improving despite what her return to the public eye would suggest.
However a strange event has taken place, one that has grabbed her attention and has refused to let go. In Luna's most recent letter to her, her style of writing and penmanship had changed, slightly, but noticeable for those who had been writing to her as much as she had been.
She had eventually wrote it off as the stress getting to her, and moved on to begin her next week as a part of her slow recovery. That was, until, this moment. Large letters pictured a very huge event to her, along with pictures on two separate newspapers.
ITAGA Established And Many Are Polarized On the Development
'The Green Print Run': A Race for The Ages
The two photos were of the version of her sister that she saw briefly before using the elements. Twilight looked up to Rainbow Dash, who had brought her the papers as soon as she found them.
"What?... I can't believe this... She's alive?" Twilight could barely even breath, much less form any sort of coherent sentence. Dash could only look back at her with a hesitant expression for a moment, before speaking.
"Well, I don't know if it is her. If it is, then we would have a very good chance of getting to her through this race." She said, causing Twilight to give a curious look.
"Why wouldn't we be able to normally? She is my sister, and I'm sure that she would want to see me at the very least."
"Yeah, but we don't want to go around to another part of the world and just barge in. Besides, if she is who we think it is, she might seek you out if you show up. If she doesn't, one of the options for a first place prize is a meeting with her. I may not know for sure, but you miss every shot you don't take." She explained, as Twilight thought on her words.
"Fine, but this is something I want to do on my own. I don't want to rely on anything that could rip me and Led any further apart." She answered, to which Rainbow Dash nodded.
The unicorn then made her way to the library to prepare for the upcoming race.
Meanwhile in the sands of Zebrica, a chase is occurring between a hooded figure, and a group of zebra warriors.
"Get your flank back here Starr! You will face Justice!" The leader of the warriors called out. This only prompted the hooded figure to run faster, while his style slowly shifted from four hooves, to a two hooved style of running.
'What type of mad dash is that?! How is he running on two hooves?!' Crossed the warriors mind, as the now named Starr started to pull away from the group.
Starr then turned the corner of a nearby sandstone mountain, disappearing behind it. Soon enough, the group of warriors rounded the same corner, only to find nothing there.
"Impossible, he couldn't have gotten away again! SEARCH THE AREA!" The lead fighter shouted out to his followers. They scrambled through the area, desperately searching for the criminal who has gotten away from them time and tine again.
Little did they know, within an enclosed cave in the mountain, the one known as Starr was relaxing. By that, it means he was panting while pushing himself up against the wall. Sweat rolled down his muzzle and neck as he felt soreness and pain settle into his hooves.
"I'm still not completely used to doing that, *Huff* that really strains my hind legs." Starr said, before pulling a bag out of his cloak. He put his coat on a rack and tossed the bag onto the table, revealing it to be filled with bread and some newspapers.
"I can't even do something as simple as fucking shopping and catching up on the news without a band of bounty hunters forcing me to bolt." Starr said to himself, the walls being the only company he had around him.
Starr was a lanky male zebra, with a long braded mane that went down to his shoulders. On his flanks was a image of a black sun, with a ripple pattern inside of it. His tail wasn't braided, and was short, barely able to fall towards the ground.
"It's all because of that damn temple, now I have a bounty on my head the size of a spirit damned alicorn!" Starr angerly said to himself. He then shook himself out of his angry reminiscing, and took up the paper while munching on some of the bread.
(Say this in an overly flamboyant fashion)
"Oooo… What's this?"
'The Green Print Run': A Race for The Ages
"A race for the sentry has been set up to show the progress and capabilities of the newly formed project 'New Harmony'. With the quick progress of this joint colony, they have decided to open a competition open to the outside world. The grand prize for the competition will be of the winners choosing, ranging from a private island to 50,000,000 bits- 50 MILLION BITS!!! That's enough to pay off my bounty and still have enough to buy a whole town!"
Starr was in shock, with this money, he could finally turn his luck around, he could do anything. He would do anything for that kind of cash.
A sly smile appeared on his muzzle, as he turned his gaze to his coat. A fire now burned in his eyes, one that was full of hope and determination.
"Looks like I'll be competing in a race."

The Green Print Run: Standing By
The starting line of the Green Print Run was packed, filled with individuals from around the world that all came to compete or spectate the event. Within the tower overlooking the field the racers were forming in, the organizer of the race, stood in the darkness surrounded by representative from the participating nations and companies sponsoring the event.
"I must say, with the prosperity of the colony exceeding 150% of its projected growth, this event seems like it would just waste away the extra profit, am I correct?" Korn questioned. "As a representative of a nation that values wealth above most thing I would suggest not angering them with funding things without payoff."
"But this event is not going to lose, if anything, it will make more." I responded.
"And why would that be?"
"Because of tourism." I simply stated. " Such an eye catching event will surly bring tourists from around the world to watch the race, and even though the events are non-profit, the amenities such as hotels and restaurants are not. After all, people need a place to sleep, as well as food to eat."
Korn responded with a bow, seemingly satisficed with the answer, and left the room, the other representatives following him. When they left a figure appeared behind Catalysuer. It was a pegasus with a dark blue mane and tail, along with a strange split down his body's fur, with a lighter blue on his right and a creamy tan on his left. On his flank was a cutie mark spit down the middle between a Scarab on the right and an eagle on the right. His right eye was a deep hazel blue, with the right being a steel gray.
Their gender wasn't immediately clear, with no features saying any gender in specific. The pegasus bowed respectfully before rising to the large mare's sign to do so.
"Lucky, its good that you're here."
"I am always ready to receive your commands."
"I need you to find and possibly recruit any possible Stand users to turn up at this race."\
"Of course my lady."
"Luck, you don't need to refer to me so formally. I am no more in power than you are in this relationship. I simply have a need I am respectfully asking you to help me with." The mentioned lady spoke in exasperation.
"You saved me from a cruel fate, I simply follow you because you have given me my life back and more." The pegasus said, before vanishing again.
"You know" Catalysuer spoke into the empty room, shaking her head as she continued. "If I didn't already know what your Stand did, I would assume it had something to do with shadows."

Twilight was practically overwhelmed by the sheer amount of racers and sightseers that showed up to the race, there had to be nearly over ten thousand in this end of the race alone. How so many could stand watching running was completely beyond her.
As she made her way to one of the sign in booths she caught glance of a cloaked figure. All she could see was their mouth and hooves, it seemed that they were a zebra. The zebra then disappear into the crowd as they moved to the starting line.
Lucky Day stood upon the spire nearest to the overlook their Lady Luck was staying in for the starting point of the race.
"Ready!" A five ringed slot machine appeared on their left hoof as they cranked the leaver.
"Set!" The first slot spun wildly through a scarab, an x, and an eagle.
"Go!" The sound of the crowds screaming went off as the slot stopped on the scarab, making Luck smirk.
"It seems that luck is on my side for the start of my mission." Luck then opened his wings, taking off to the part of the race his mission will truly begin.
The Standing Stones.
Author's Note
Merry Christmas!
The Green Print Run: The Standing Stones
As the swarms of creatures came barreling out of the starting town, they quickly all found themselves coming up on a range of plateaus, as the ground became more sandy and the weather became more intense. The droves of people found themselves splitting as they went in different directions to find the best path through.
This location is known to the locals as The Standing Stones, due to the fact that some of those who make it through the entirety of the range found themselves standing at the sides of the island's manager(our main character). The Standing Stone, however, served a specific purpose to the one who runs the island.
To those who don't know, this place is where Catalyseur creates her Stand users. The way she does this is by having either herself or her subordinates (usually Lucky Day) scout out potential users that they can draw to their cause. If they fit the qualifications, then they use an special item created by Catalyseur.
Lucky Day remembers it very well, as it was he who it was first used on.
The Hearts of Santi.
Twilight found herself, along with a few other creatures, making their way through the cracks and paths in-between the stone plateaus. Her heart was already pounding like a drum, and dust was constantly getting in her eyes, but she kept pushing forward, eventually making it to the front of the group she was in. As she did so, she spotted a familiar figure.
He was wearing a cloak that covered the majority of his head and body, the cloak was a deep brown, and seemed to be torn up in multiple different locations along its edges, and somehow was not effected by the wind blowing past them.
It took a few moments for her to get a good view of the zebra's face, but she only caught a glimpse as he sped up ahead of her.
He had dark fur for his stripe color, similar to those found the shade that one would see in polished hematite. His regular fur was the shade of white that could only be described as egg colored. His neck was thin, as was the rest of his body, but it gave off the impression that it was from constant activity rather than being weak. Twilight could see that his mane was braided, and had a gold ring close to its end.
She didn't know why, but somehow she felt gravitated towards this individual, but she couldn't quite explain the feeling.
Whoever this is, she felt the need to keep a close eye on him.
Lucky Day was standing on the top of a large plateau, where he sat on a wooden crate. To his left was another crate, filled with large heart-like objects.
They were a deep maroon in color, and had a strange gold device attached to the front, it looked similar to a clock, but it didn't have any hands on it, rather, the numbers themselves seemed to turn on their own. The numbers were also numbered one to fifteen, which was another oddity. Stretching outwards from the gold clock were vein like wires that connected to a cover on each entrance and exit to the heart. These were the Hearts of Santi.
In front of the pegasus was another crate, this one being used as a table, with a crystal ball perched on its surface. Lucky was using the crystal ball for a observation spell, so that he could keep an eye on the participants in the race, and find those who would serve his Lady Luck well.
"This one seems like a good place to start." He spoke, picking up a heart, and imbuing it with his magic. The heart started to float away from his hoof, and glowed with a large blue aura.
"I know I really shouldn't, but I should collect some more luck from 「Luck Of the Draw」 ." He said, as he cranked his stand's handle, he waited patiently as his second slot spun wildly.
Everything seemed to pause for a moment, as the slot continued to spin, and Luck held his breath.
It landed on an eagle.
"Uh oh."
Meanwhile, beneath Luck's plateau
A small group of racers, consisting of a blue dragon, an earth pony, and a pair of pegasai were racing by. They were going past a small crack, when the earth pony tripped on what seemed like nothing, causing him to push the dragon into the wall.
"WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT FOR!?" The dragon roared out, before grabbing and smashing the earth pony into the plateau, creating a large crack. That crack just so happened to be a weak point in the plateau's structure, making the entire thing unstable.
The group looked up, as the cracks grew and grew upwards. The four looked at each other, before deciding to run faster away from the now collapsing structure.
Back with Luck
Luck felt the rumble as the pony below created the crack, but he wasn't quick enough to react to the collapse of the plateau.
The entire platform tilted to the side, as everything slipped downwards towards the incoming ground.
It was at this moment that the charged heart blasted in the direction the target used to be, if the crate of hearts wasn't in the way.
When the charged heart came into contact with the other hearts, they also became charged, and all began glowing brightly.
Luck was stuck, jaw agape, as all the hearts blasted of in random directions, towards targets he didn't know. He stood their for an extended period of time, before he regained his senses and flew away from the collapsing plateau.
"Maybe it won't be so bad, I mean, it's only one platea-"
CRASH
The plateau hit another platform, as it too began to collapse.
"...F*ck."
I finished the first few chapters of the rewrite, and it is now up as Press Start. Thank you and have a good day.
I couldn't feel anything, it was as if all my senses were filled with fuzz, but nothing else. I tried to move around, but I couldn't, and it wasn't that it wouldn't, it was as if it never existed to begin with. I look down, only to see that I don't have a body, WHAT THE FUCK!? Alright calm down, breath... ok I'm good. I then see a large bright blue box appear in front of me.

Naruto has way to many things to kill you. Dragon Ball will flatten me like a pancake. Bleach is stupid. Earth I can't go to because I can't stand the thought of seeing my family again, knowing I'm dead. I know nothing about Blaze Blue. I've played both Elder Scrolls and Fallout enough to get sick at simply the sight of their title screens. And finally I just don't feel like pickin Avatar. As soon as I pick my option the screen changes once again, this time encompassing many different things.

Twinzies!: Become the twin of one of the main characters, and maybe take the spotlight from them as well.
Bastard!: be the abandoned child of a noble, and work your way up to the top!
Other options:
Child of royalty

Changeling life
I looked carefully at all of the options, If I was the child of powerful mages I would have the benefit of starting with more magic, with Nightmare Nightmare I would start as NIGHTMARE FUCKIN MOON, and the other options would also be really interesting on paper, but could easily go wrong and end really quickly. I ended up deciding on Twinzies! for the fact that it will be easier to get stronger and smarter and all of that stuff undetected. Once I did a few more options popped up.
Who is your twin?
Celestia/Luna

Twilight
Rainbow Dash
Pinkie Pie

I looked at my options once again, but quickly decided on Twilight. It would give me more of a basis to grow unimpeded. With that chosen a pop up appeared on the screen.
New Perk Obtained: Sibling of a genius -Will gain magic and intelligence based abilities 150% faster
Well, that isn't overpowered at all. I looked at the main screen again and stare at the name slot. I keep staring at it, no idea what to put. I then feel a spark in my mind as I quickly impute the name.

I first think I should stick with male, but then I realize I could get away with more if I chose female. So I choose that instead, as I did so another pop up appeared in front of me.

Once again, overpowered as hell but whatever. another screen shows up with one line and one option.

Following the logic of all the other menus I imagine a blank white unicorn mare and said mare appears next to the screen. I then go into a greater change of this character, taking great care due to the fact it will be my body soon. I changed the coat color to a rusted red hue, as well as adding a slicked back pure white mane. I then added a medium length silky tail in a similar slicked style to my mane, and then change both of their colors to a coal black.
Next I changed the curve of the horn and its ridges, I decreased the ridges giving it a more pointed look. I then point the ears giving them an elf like look. After that I make the eyes a murky gray to grab attention against the rest of my new darkly colored form.
What was the final part of my form was my cutie mark. I thought long and hard on it and my choice was an aura of red flowing magic surrounding a ball based around an eclipse design. After finishing that another menu appeared.
Distribute your points
Total: 70
I then looked at my stats, which now had 5 each due to the 'Progressive' perk. I decided to put in 10 each and ended with 15 points each, another pop up opened up and I read through it once, and then again just to be sure.

The Teacher and The(Sorta) Date
It's been a few minutes since the exam and I've been kind of thrown under a box of books at the moment. After hatching the baby dragons egg(who is named Smoke btw) the examiner tried to take Smoke to show to the princess in her confused shock, to which I literally hissed like a dragon causing her to faint. Once she woke up the four of us started to move out towards the throne room, only to stop when we saw her in Twilights exam room. The reason we saw her was... come on who wouldn't see that big thick plot. THE DOOR WAS OPEN!
"...I will personally be watching over your studies and teaching you as my student." Ah! She's finishing up her speech! Well this is gonna be good!
"Princess Celestia?" The examiner started, catching the attention of said princess. As she turned her eyes widened as she saw the sleeping infant held carefully in my magic. She sputtered as everyone else in the room turned to us as well, and they proceeded to drop their jaws.
"What... happened?" She asked, causing everyone in the room to shake themselves out of their surprise. Soon they were all listening closely as the examiner rubbed her neck with her hoof.
"Well..."
"...And that is what happened." She concluded, everyone in the room had a shocked expression on their faces. Especially Celestia and Twilight, who also had hints of bewilderment. Celestia then coughed into her hoof, gathering the ponies attention.
"I suppose that due to the fact that the distant magical explosion might have effected the magic of both of these fillies, thus causing their magic to flare and hatching the egg." She said as everyone nodded, except for the examiner, me, and Velvet.
"Actually…" Both Velvet and the examiner began, bringing everyone's attention once more. The two mare looked at each other before the examiner continued. "She hatched the dragons egg before the magical explosion ever took place." As she said this the alicorns eyes widened slightly, before returning to her motherly smile.
"Well, I suppose there is only one thing we can do." She stated as everyone(once again) turned to her. "You are clearly a pony with incredible talent, so I would like the opportunity to become my student alongside Twilight." To this Twilight responded by jumping at me and wrapping me in a huge hug which I returned, careful not to drop Smoke.
"YAY! I get to be with my TSBFF, isn't that great Zeppy!"(That's 'Twin Sister Best Friends Forever') I looked at her smiling face and smirked.
"What, you think I would let you leave me in the dust Twily?" I responded, to this nickname she blushed. Before anyone could respond a window popped up in front of me.

It has been a few weeks since I started to study under Celestia. Twilight has been mostly held up in the castles library while I have been mothering Smoke, though thanks to Velvet I have been able to take time to do other things. Right now the thing I'm doing right now is looking for Cadence.
I entered the castle courtyard to find said pink pony princess, she was siting down drinking some lemonade as two pegasus guards spared in front of her. I quickly and quietly approached, creeping up until I was right behind her ear.
"...HI CADENCE"
"AH!"
I then proceeded to laugh my flank off as Cadence jumped into the air with he wings, not only dropping her drink onto the floor, but trip up the guards causing them to fall in a... close position.
"Zeppy! Why would you do that!?" She yelled as I continued to cackle at everyone's expense.
"Because it's funny!" I responded, to this Cadence pouted which I found adorable. When I calmed down I looked up and her and smiled.
"So why are you here?" She asked, to which I smiled wider.
"I was thinking we could go hang out, just us!" I said, in response Cadence smiled as well.
"Sounds fun, let's go!" She said in a sing song voice.
We ended up going to the mall and having lunch, afterwards we went to a group of clothing stores. While I didn't wear anything I enjoyed looking at all of the things Cadence decided to wear. I can defiantly say it was very enjoyable.
As we entered the castle after our little escapade we heard the voice of a certain Blue Blooded price approaching us.
"Hello Cadence." Blueblood said, to the sound of his voice Cadences mood instantly deflated as her smile turned into a frown.
"Hey Blueblood." She said in an annoyed tone. Blueblood then flipped his mane and put on a posh and arrogant tone. "I just wanted to let you know the arrangements of our marriage are se-"
"Blueblood how many times do I have to tell you? I'm not marrying you!" Cadence said interrupting him. Blueblood then put on an egotistical grin and lowered down to meet the eyes of my lower stature.
"And what, is this your marefriend or something? Don't make me lau-" He was cut off when I used my superior strength to smack him across the face, sending him flying back a few feet. As the two were locked still in shock I grabbed Cadence by the back of her head, and smashed my lips against hers, keeping my eyes on her widened ones the whole time.
As I kept her locked in place with my hoof it was as if she melted into the kiss. She quickly stopped resisting and even started to embrace it- Oh is that tongue! After what felt like a life time of bliss(Although it was only like 15 seconds) I let the kiss disconnect as we both gasped for breath.
After a moment I turned back to the blue prick and wiped my muzzle. "Yes." I said as I grabbed Cadences hoof and we walked away, leaving a shocked Blueblood.
We walked inside Cadences bedroom, both of us with blushes on our faces. I turned my head down, my ears drooping and pawing at the floor.
"Cadence I-" I tried to start but I was quickly stopped by Cadence jumping into me, giving me a huge kiss. When she stopped she put her hoof on me, forcing me to look at her.
"Zeppy, you don't have to say anything. From the very moment I became an alicorn three years ago I knew you loved me. The truth is I eventually came to love you too. You have the perfect blend of maturity and immaturity, and you have such a kind and happy soul that I can't help to be happy when you're around. In fact, the reason I turned down Blueblood, was because I was waiting for you to ask." She concluded, making me jaw drop. I that was the case why did I wait so long. Oh wait our age gap.
"But what about our age? You're six whole years older than me. Wouldn't that cause legal trouble?" I said, to which she giggles. When she did I raised an eyebrow.
"I'm an alicorn, age doesn't matter because we won't die. Besides I'm only eleven right now, and I know you know what the legal age is." She told me. For those of you who don't know. In this version of Equstria the legal age is thirteen, but you can get married at eleven.
"Okay, but answer me this." I said, to which she gave her attention. "Would you like to be my marefriend?" I asked. She giggled and pulled me into another quick kiss.
"Yes."

Starr was sitting in the outside of a pub the night before the race, enjoying some dark red Giffonian brand beer. As he was about to put down the mug, he felt someone bump into him, splashing some of his drink behind him.
"AH! YOU LITTLE SHIT!" He heard before he was grabbed from behind and spun around.
In front of him was a earth pony stallion with a white left side and black right side. His mouth, only visible on his left side, was curled in rage.
"THIS SUIT COST OVER THIRTY THOUSAND BITS! LET'S TAKE THIS OUTSIDE-" He was then interrupted by Starr, who gave the two faced stallion an uppercut with his mug.
"You're to loud you bastard." He replied calmly kicked all over his body, leaving him bruised and bloodied all over.
He then sat back down whilst ordering a new mug.

Look. I know that a lot of people Have really enjoyed this story, and that makes me happy. I enjoy making people happy, but I feel like I can do this story much better, as well as keeping its original themes better. I rushed to much, and it feels unsatisfying when I read this story. That's not to say that I'm giving up, but I am going to cancel this story and make a (hopefully) much better reimagining of the story. One that I'm going to put all of the love and effort I can into to make it not just a good piece of fanfiction, but a good piece of fiction in general.
Thank you for reading, and I will see you all in the remake.
