Gem of Imagination: Universal Forcesby SuperDescendant101ChaptersMeeting Royalty: Chapter 1Explanation and Strange Portals: Chapter 2Vs Dr. Eggman and Splitting Up: Chapter 3Meeting Royalty: Chapter 1No one expects anything in the supernatural, nor does anyone think that anything supernatural exist, but for me, my life is about to change with the chance to meet the supernatural. Hi, my name is Brian Oliver, I'm 23 years old, and just about finished with school. I hear the ringing of the school bell as everyone gets up from their seats with backpacks in tow to head outside. The doors are opened as the kids happily run outside to their buses, but for me, my dad is picking me up from school. “Hey kiddo, you got any homework to do over summer vacation?” My dad asked from inside the car. It’s true, it’s now the end of the school year and it’s now summer vacation. “Not today dad, no homework for me.” I answered him. I was wearing my favorite blue t-shirt with a rainbow gem in the middle, along with tan khaki shorts and my blue and orange shoes. “Get in bud.” He said. I walked over towards the passenger side and got into the passenger seat and buckled my seatbelt and we drove off towards my house. After 30 minutes of driving, we roll up to my house, I live in a two story building that is blue and orange in a swirling pattern on the front and back of the house and a striped pattern of black and white for the roof. We rolled into the driveway and I got out of the car and waved goodbye to my dad. He gave the return wave and drove off into the distance. As I unlocked the door to my house, something caught my eye in my peripheral vision, it was shiny to put it bluntly, but when I went towards it and picked it up to examine it up close, it was hexagonal shaped, but stretched out and 3D looking. I realized that this gem is something I made up back when I was 16 years old, the Gem of Imagination. How is this here? I thought it didn't exist. I thought to myself. I didn’t notice it shining more brightly before I needed to close my eyes to not get blind. “What the?! What is it….doing...” My speech slowed down and I started feeling woozy and I fell over onto my stomach and lost consciousness. I woke up with a groan and stood up nice and easy to avoid falling over again. I managed to stand up and opened up my eyes and looked around...and my god, was it beautiful. This void was a sight to a behold, tiny stars littered the dark sky, bright blue mist surrounded me, and many different planets placed in the night sky. “Where am I? Is this like an another plane of existing?” I asked to no one particular. “You’re mostly correct about that assumption, human.” An mysterious elegant voice spoke out of nowhere. I jumped up in surprise, but reacted quickly and put my hands up in an defensive stance. “Who’s there?! I know how to fight, so don’t try any funny business!” I exclaimed to ward off the enemy. “Oh, pardon me, I wouldn’t dream of it, I just came in to talk with you.” The voice came to my right, it sounded female, I looked towards my right and a figure stepped into full view. It was a dark-blue tall alicorn, with her hair being mostly transparent, faded coloration of blues and composed of stars waving in the wind, she also had a tattoo of a eclipse on her flank. She had blue eyes and looked to be about 6 ft tall, not counting the horn. I was not expecting to meet this familiar alicorn, because I instantly recognized her. “P-Princess Luna!! I-Its a pleasure to meet you, your majesty.” I bowed in respect as done in my training in Taekwondo martial arts, I clasped my hands together flat, one hand on top of the other and placing them in front of my waist and slowly lowering my upper body. “You don’t need to be so formal, I came here to seek your help.” This...was also unexpected, although she has been in trouble before, but to call me instead of her own kind, this must be very serious. “But why seek me out, Princess? I’m just a normal human, if I knew what to do, I would help, but I don’t know how to deal with the situation your in.” I said. Yes, I was worried, but I don’t know what their situation is, nor do I know how to combat magical beings. “Please do this for my subjects, my friends, my Sister. There is something you could do, it’s your imagination.” She was about to cry, but I kneeled down to her level and put my right hand on her neck to calm her down. “My imagination is something that I cherish for many years, if you say that my imagination is needed for this task. I will do anything to help out.” I said confidently. “Thank you. What’s your name, human?” She asked while wiping a tear off her face. “My name is Brian Oliver, Princess Luna.” I answered. She smiled. “Please come with me, I have to show you something.” I nodded and stood up and followed her through the misty black fog. I waved around to blow away the mist as I finally saw where we were, white stairs came into view and I saw a very tall mountain, with what looked like a shrine built below the massive rock formation. A pedestal stood in the middle of the shrine and something was placed on the pedestal. “What is…that?” I asked Luna as she trotted in front of me and gestured towards the item on the pedestal. “That my friend is the item you’ll need for this quest. Please take it; it is now yours to command.” She happily said. I couldn’t turn down a gift from a princess, so I walked up to the pedestal and the light was no longer there and it showed the same gem that was outside of my house. I was shocked to see it was here. “This is same gem that brought me here." I narrowed my eyes, "I now know what to do.” I breathed in and out to calm myself and willingly took the gem off the pedestal. I mentally commanded Necklace and the Gem of Imagination was hanging around my neck. Then the whole place shook like if a earthquake happened, and the pedestal was slowly sinking into the earth. The G.O.I was shining even brighter than before and I covered my eyes and feeling woozy once more and falling unconscious. Before I blacked out, I could hear Princess Luna saying in pain and fear with scratchiness in her voice, “Please...Help....us” Then I heard a loud crash and I couldn’t hear her anymore. I mentally shouted, PRINCESS LUNA!!! Then all went black. I woke up with a massive headache and I tried opening eyes, but the sun in the sky blinded me and I needed to block my eyes again. How many times am I going to get blinded today? I mentally asked myself. I finally opened my eyes to see a vast forest in front of me, beautiful yellow flowers, soft green grass, and humongous trees. I turned to my right to see a ocean blue lake with loads of animals, like a brown bear, bunnies, lizards, etc. drinking or finding food from the bushes. I got up to my feet and walked towards the lake and looked at my reflection. I was still human, with my clothes still on. If Princess Luna sent me here, that must mean I’m in Equestria, and this is the Everfree Forest. However, what could possibly be the problem here? I asked myself. The animals looked at me and by strange reasons, they didn’t seem to affected by my appearance. The brown bear, who was named Harry from the show, walked on all fours and came up to me and it spoke to me in perfect English. Who are you? Harry asked. "My name is Brian Oliver, I was sent here on a mission by Princess Luna herself. I want to know what is going on, has anything strange been happening recently?” I asked the bear. The bear growled while also frowning, There were these hairless apes who claim to be poachers and have captured many ponies, including Fluttershy and her friends. My eyes widened, this is what ticked me the most about bad guys, poachers are people who will do anything to capture and torture animals and sell them on the market for huge prices. I was angry, I scowled, “Where are they?” The bear was frightened, but this animal probably trusts me and feels the same way. He said, They are in Ponyville, go that way to get out of the forest and meet with Zecora. She knows this better than anypony else. He pointed with his right front paw to his right. I nodded my head and started running towards that direction to get to Zecora's hut. Hopefully I’m not too late. I said to myself. After a few hours of running, I managed to find the little hut in the middle of the forest and stopped running to see if Zecora has heard me or seen me. I made sure to check my surroundings just in case. A strange voice came from the hut, "Human, in here." I followed the voice and cautiously moved into the small hut and to not hit my head. I found Zecora making some type of soup or potion. Zecora is a master in making potions and brewing when it comes plants or other materials, but what you don't know is that she is actually a zebra, like from my world. "Hello Zecora, It's nice to meet you." I happily said, trying to stay to positive in this little predicament she's in. "It's nice meet you too, but what is your name?" She asked. "My name is Brian Oliver. I'm here to help with dealing with these poachers, and I for one hate poachers doing this to you. It's bad enough they're here, but capturing innocent ponies is way too far." I scowled. "Yes, I can see that, but they have captured the Princesses, Twilight and her friends with little to no effort, they had these spell binding rings for unicorns and rope for pegasi so they cannot fly." I was shocked, these poachers must have gotten some information from someone to be able to capture the Mane 6 and the Princesses. I told her about the confrontation that I had with Princess Luna. She continued, "I see, please go save them, oh and please use this to get rid of the spell binding rings." She gave me a key that had blue neon lines running across diagonally and horizontally around it. I gave her the salute to show her I will do my best to save her friends. I ran out of the hut and into the direction of Ponyville, and from what I could tell from watching the show it was not far from here. I picked up the pace by parkouring onto trees or logs to get more momentum and after a few solid minutes, I finally reached outskirts of the forest with Ponyville in my sights. Here we go. I mentally said and started running towards Ponyville. Meanwhile, we see Ponyville, a little town in Equestria, filled with happiness and friendship with the Friendship Castle in view, but it was not a happy day, these so called poachers came into Ponyville and started capturing ponies from all around. To make it even worse, they had special equipment that could contain the magical abilities of Earth ponies, unicorns, pegasi, and believe it or not, Alicorns as well. Twilight was one of those Alicorn princesses with a certain spell binding ring on her horn, rope tied around her wings to prohibit her flying capabilities as she was carried by two of the poachers, she mumbled, "This can't be happening. How could they have known how to deal with us?" She was forcefully pushed into a cell with another pony with cyan blue fur, rainbow hair and tail with her wings just like Twilights, tied down so she couldn't fly, her name was Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier of all of Equestria. "Twilight?!" She ran up to Twilight and hold out her hoof, "Are you okay?" She asked worried about her friend. Twilight took Rainbow's hoof and lifted herself up, "I'm fine Rainbow. What do we do? The Princesses are captured just like us, the only way to get out of here is for somepony to save us." "Hopefully is somepony who could kick their butts!" She scowled at the poachers who were standing guard at each cell, Celestia with Luna, Cadence with Shining, Fluttershy with Applejack, and Pinkie Pie with Rarity. Spike was still in the castle before they were captured and hid inside the Cutie Map room. "Please Spike, come save us." She whimpered while in tears. As I was running towards Ponyville, I conducted a plan inside my head to save the ponies. Spike was probably hiding in the Castle of Friendship, maybe in the Cutie Map room. I noticed the poachers were patrolling the area, so I used the houses as my cover to sneak from behind. I saw the doorway that leads to the inside of the castle. I could get to the entrance, but it was guarded by poachers. Thankfully I saw a window that was open near the Cutie Map room. One of the hallway windows probably, I activated the gems powers and gained stealth mode and increased jump. I jumped up into the open window and landed quietly and started sneaking around looking for that cutie map room. Where are you Spike? I asked myself. I finally found the room and opened up the door slightly and found Spike on the table cowering in fear. I opened up the door quietly and slowly approached Spike and tapped him on the back. He screamed, "AAHHH-!" He couldn't get it out as I put my hand over his mouth to keep him from screaming any longer. I looked back at the door and saw no movement for a couple of seconds, I sighed in relief and uncloaked myself and looked back at Spike and said, "I need you to calm down Spike, I'm going to take my hand away, you promise not to scream." He nodded his head and I took my hand off of his mouth, he breathed in and out and stuttered, "W-Who are y-you?" "Hello Spike, I'm Brian Oliver, I'm here to help with your 'poacher' problem." I said. He smiled, "Thank you, but how do you know my name, and how do you know what’s going on?" "Your first question, I will tell another time, your second is that I was given this mission by Princess Luna and with a little help from Zecora, as she figured how to get rid of the spell binding rings." I showed him the key that Zecora gave me and he gasped in happiness, "I will need your help with this Spike." I continued. He frowned, "How can I help? I'm just an assistant and a baby dragon. I don't know how to fight." I chuckled, "Come on Spike, what would you do if Twilight and her friends were in danger, would you run away or save them, and fight like a man?" He puffed up his chest, "I'll save them, even if I can't fight, I'll do my best to help." I smiled, "That's the Spike I know, now come on we got a town to save." I picked him up and put him on my shoulder and he was ready to fight and so was I. We got past the guards that were stationed inside the castle and knocked out the poachers guarding the entrance, we hid behind a house and looked at the cells that the rest of the poachers were currently guarding in the middle of Ponyville. I whispered to Spike, "Spike, I need you to get those cages open, use those claws of yours to pick the locks, I'm going to distract them as long as I can, you got that." He nodded his head and sneakily ran to the cages, and I use my recently acquired superpowers and jumped into a corkscrew frontflip to get over the cages and landed right in the middle of the poachers in a awesome pose. The poachers surrounded me, lifting up their guns and pointing them at me, I'm just smiling with confidence. "Who are you!? Tell us!" One of them yelled, keeping his gun ready to fire. I stood up and said, "Oh me, I'm just a bystander passing through the town.” I looked all around to see so many ponies in cages, “It seems you did a number on those ponies and this village.” I grinned and looked past them to see Spike using his claws to pick at the lock that both Twilight and Rainbow were sitting in, staying quiet, knowing what would happen if they find him. They both looked at me, waiting for the signal to jump in. "Oh yeah, but then why are you a here human, just like us?" The leader I suppose scowled at me. "Well lets just say we all are not from around here, especially poachers, who I can't stand doing this to innocent ponies." My eyes were intimidating them, it showed that I had no fear. A tiny bright flash of rainbow shined through my eyes. The leader gained the courage to step up, "If you can't stand us, then why are you here?" "A special pony told me of this problem and asked me to help. I wasn't going to stand quiet while you just torture this ponies, you have any idea who you are messing with!" I walked menacingly towards the leader while he just stood there with a smile on his face. I looked past them again to see Spike had finally opened the cage and hid under it, while Rainbow looked at me and gave a nod to attack from behind. "You're just a human, what chance do you have against us all?" He pointed the gun at my face, while the ponies were in shock to see me not being scared by this threat. With a gust of wind rushing past the leaders face, I instantly grabbed the rifle from his hand, pushed him so hard he stumbled, and like breaking a tree in half, I snapped the rifle in two pieces with my knee and threw it behind me. The leader was speechless, he couldn't believe this human was that strong to break a rifle strong enough to withstand the magical powers of an Alicorn in half. I lifted my right hand up in the air counted down from 3...2...1, the leader was confused, until my last finger hit my palm and Rainbow Dash jumped up and kicked the leader in the back of his head. Rainbow Dash was smiling, the leader shouted, "How did you-?!" He stopped his sentence and saw that Twilight was untied and ready to fight along with Spike, who is the one who untied her. The leader was furious and looked at me, "You sneaky little vermin!" He yelled. "Oh I'm the sneaky one, what about you? You came in here and decided to ruin these ponies fun, so it's only fair that I ruin yours. In fact, here's a little present from me to you!" I rushed him with such speed, he never had a chance to react and was given a thrust kick to his stomach. He doubled over the pain and I surrounded my right arm with flames and gave him a flaming powered uppercut as I shouted, "Sky Uppercut!" That sent him flying over 50 feet in the air. I grinned and walked towards Twilight and pulled the key out that Zecora gave me, "Here you go Princess." I inserted it into the ring and the ring glowed white and it magically disappeared. Feeling her magic coming back, her horn sparked to life in a transparent purple waving aura and she used her magic to open up all the cages with no effort, except the cages that held her brother and the other Princesses, she couldn't seem to open the lock. She said, "I can't open those cages, the only way to open them is with another type of magic that I don't possess." The other poachers all pointed their at rifles and were ready to end their lives. "How about we show these wannabes what for, eh?" I smiled, dropping into an Canadian accent. Twilight smiled as well, with Rarity sparking her horn, Pinkie readying her party cannon by pulling out of her mane, Applejack kicking her legs, Rainbow flying in style, and Fluttershy staring at her enemies. "Poachers, get them!" One of them shouted and all of them started shooting their rifles, while Twilight conjured up a magic shield to protect us. "Whoever you are, if you have magic to release them, do it now!" Twilight shouted at me, I nodded my head and ran towards the cells holding Shining and the other Princesses. I kneeled in front of the lock and put my hand over it and closed my eyes and concentrated. Twilight looked at me seeing my posture and yelled, "Girls, we need to buy him some time, are you ready!?" "YEAH!!!" They all shouted. Twilight yelled, "CHARGE!!!" All of them charged at the poachers and the poachers charged at them for this epic battle. Applejack and Rainbow were punching and kicking poachers left and right, Applejack bucking a poacher in the gut while saying, “These poachers are really gettin’ on my nerves, rainbow can you set some of them into a line so I can ‘bowl’ them over yonder?” She smiled, knowing her idea, “You got it AJ!” She grabbed about 5-6 poachers and put them into a line and gave Applejack a barrel. Appejack turned around and bucked the barrel right into the poachers, knocking them over. “YEE-HAW!! Now that’s more like it, what’s next?” She eagerly smile while running towards my position with Rainbow Dash. On the opposite side of the battlefield, Pinkie was firing batter at poachers to blind them, while Rarity was firing off bolts of magic at them to show she means business. “So Rarity, what do you think about their choice of clothes and weaponry?” Pinkie asked while shooting another batch of batter. “Hmph. They’re most certainly disgusting and not well made, and their weaponry is so tachy, even I wouldn’t make them, even they are pretty good looking, but it’s not very fun to have them” She was absolutely disgusted. “Rarity, they’re firearms, of course their going to look pretty, but no1 as pretty as my party cannon, oh did I tell you the time where I painted my-” She couldn’t finish her story because Rarity put her hoof in her mouth to quiet her. “Pinkie, I think were done here.” Pinkie looked back at the battle and saw that the poachers were covered in batter and unconscious. “Oh, alright!” Pinkie bounced away from the carnage while Rarity just smiled at a job well done and headed back to the cages. Twilight and Fluttershy were trying to fend off the poachers as best as they could while protecting me as I was still concentrating on the lock. “Come on Fluttershy, we can do this!” She encouraged Fluttershy while she was throwing barrels and food at the poachers, and with the words of Twilight, she was doing it faster than ever. The other girls came up beside them and stood ready for more. Applejack comes up to Twilight and asks, “How’s he doin’ with the lock, he’s been doin’ it for a coon’s age.” She looked at me and saw that the lock was open, but needed to be unlocked from the outside, but I can’t do it, someone else has to unlock it. “I think it’s unlocked, but I’m willing to bet it needs to be unlocked from the outside” She assumed. Applejack nodded and ran over to me and kicked the lock off the cage itself, while I opened up my eyes and smiled at her, and she smiled back. We both opened the cage and I pulled the key and stick into all the rings in the Princesses horns and Shining's horn, while AJ bit at the ropes to untie the Princesses. Celestia stood up to her full height at 6’1 and smiled, “Thank you for saving us, human.” Luna chuckled, “Sister, this human’s name is Brian Oliver.” I smiled, she remembered the talk we had, while Celestia looked confused at her sister. “Luna, you know this human?” She asked, Luna nodding her head. “I met her while I was still my world and found this gem and she came to me for help.” I showed Celestia the G.O.I I got from Luna. She eyed it and smiled at her sister, “Thank you Luna for seeking help.” She hugged her sister, tears flowing down her face. “Not to sound rude, but your name is Brian, right?” Shining asked. I nodded my head confirming it. “Are you even properly trained as a fighter, I mean you don’t like your-” he was cut off by his wife Cadence when she put her hoof in front of his mouth. “Sorry about my husband’s reaction, Brian.” She smiled sheepishly. I chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’ve been in the army for about 3 years, a black belt in Taekwondo, Karate, and a master at wrestling.” Shining Armor was shocked to hear I was in the army for that long. “I guess I misjudged you, Brian, thank you for your service. What do you specialize in?” He asked. “I specialize in explosives and demolition, and thank you for trusting me Shining.” We both gave the salute to show respect for each other. “I hate to ruin the moment, but we need to get rid of these varmins once and for all, any ideas Brian.” I was thinking, but then Celestia said, “I handle it Applejack.” She walked towards Twilight and the others with a stern face and uses her magic to seize the rifles of the poachers and destroys them. She then grabs the poachers leader and looks at me and with the look saying ‘would you care to do the honors,’ and throws the leader into my direction. "You should have left when you had the chance," I growled. I then started to pummel the leader with elemental attacks, dubbed, "Thunder Punch!" As I slugged him in the stomach with a electric charged left hook, shifting to my right hand, encasing it in a cold icy aura, I jabbed the leader in the face while shouting, "Ice Punch!" He stumbled back a few steps as I wound up my right hand again, but instead thrust it into the ground while yelling, "Stone Edge!" Large jagged stones erupted from the earth heading towards the leader, and then smashed into him causing him to be thrown into the air. I rushed towards him and caught him in a suplex position, forcing him to be upside down, then twisting him so that is back was facing away from me, and with force, drove him downwards head first into the earth in a piledriving move, I dubbed, the Starlight Driver. A crater formed as we landed, I stood up and narrowed my eyes at the poachers, they were shaking in fear, my face contorted in anger and confidence, I picked up the leader by the scruff of his uniform and growled, “Get out.” I threw him into the other poachers and they caught him and they all scurried off into the distance. I breathed heavily for few seconds before Celestia came over and uses her magic to make me fall asleep. I knew this was a decision she wanted to make because it seems like she knew I was exhausted and I smiled for her action. “Sweet dreams, our savior, bring him to the castle. We have a little explaining to do when he wakes up.” She said to everypony. Everypony nods their head and with Celestia using her magic teleport us to Canterlot, all was silent. Author's Note Note: I'm not going to be able to write about how Luna or Zecora talks in this story, so please excuse my writing. Overall, I hope you enjoyed this little bit of my imporved story, but feel free to see my old one if need be. Explanation and Strange Portals: Chapter 2The bright sunlight shone through the curtains in one of the guest room that I was currently sleeping in, I slowly opened up my eyes and rose up to take off the blanket that I was covered by, I saw a alarm clock on my right on a dresser that said 8:30AM in the morning, I slowly grabbed the blue and white blanket off of me and I got off the bed that was...slightly smaller than me, what, if you were 6'5 and had to sleep on a bed that was smaller than you, you would feel insulted. I walked up to the door to the bedroom that I resided and opened it up to reveal two guards standing at the doorway, both of them nodded their heads and turned to look at me. The one on the right said, "The Princesses has requested your presence in the throne room." I nodded my head, and they stepped back a bit for me to walk through, escorting me down the hallway that veered off to the right. Suddenly, I stopped, and felt a little tingle on my spine like some sort of Spider-Sense, I think I'll call it, "Chaos Sense," the guard to my left noticed me stopping and asked, "What's the matter?" I answered, "I felt something, but I don't know what it is." Something was going to happen and it is big, whatever it is, but I didn't dwell on the sensation nor did the guards as they kept on walking with me following behind them. We walked from door to door, and just like all castles, the biggest out of all of the doors will lead to the throne room, with two more guards standing guard as they opened the doors with their magic to let me see Twilight and her friends, along with Spike, Shining Armor, Cadance, Luna, and Celestia, all waiting for my arrival. I walked in and immediately gave the same bow I gave to Luna when I met her for the first time to Celestia. Celestia waved her hoof with her golden shoes, "Please come in human, no need for formalities." I rose up and walked up to them and saw all of the Mane Six were smiling at me, considering Spike and I saved them. I smiled, "Pleasure to meet you, your majesties, thank you for putting me to sleep, I had very long day at school." Celestia smiled back and grabbed a cup full of tea, strawberry flavored from what I can smell from the aroma, "It is no trouble, human." I noticed that she said 'human,' and not my name, I mentally facepalmed, "Oh wait, forgot introduce myself properly, my name is Brian Oliver, personal student of Master Hong of the Taekwondo martial arts. Ranking at blackbelt for Taekwondo and Karate, also a wrestling prodigy and explosive Army General." I said proudly. Rainbow Dash came up to me and gave me a hoof bump, "Your a blackbelt in both Taekwondo and Karate! Man, I want to be a blackbelt in other martial arts." "Believe it or not, Taekwondo is one of the harder martial arts to use, especially if you were young as 12 years old." "You started when you were twelve!! Awesome!" She smiled to find somepony to teach her a another martial arts. "Anyways, we ask you to come here to help us understand something so weird, even Discord is stumped." Cadance worriedly said. "What kind of weird? What would stump the God of Chaos?" I questioned. "There has been strange portals that have been popping up all around Canterlot. Thankfully, nothing terrible has come out of them, but I'm worried that one of my pony subjects will go in one of them, so we ask every guard available to quarantine everypony from the portals until further noticed." Celestia sighed. "How many portals are there?" I asked. "Well darling, we conclude that they're 3 portals in total, from what the guards of Canterlot could see, two portals are stationed in Canterlot, while the third one is believed to be in Ponyville." Rarity said. "And you want me and I guess the girls and probably Spike to go into these portals and see what is going on?" I asked. "Yes, if you insist on them coming with you-" Celestia never got to finish her sentence as the ground started to shake violently. The castle walls were starting to crumble by massive shake. "What is happenin'?!" Applejack shouted. "I don't know, there wasn't supposed to be an earthquake today, let alone any!" Twilight shouted back. The shaking stopped after a few more seconds, with everyone relaxing, but then, I felt the same ominous vibration that I sensed during my path to the throne room, "Everyone, I think we got company." Everyone heard my statement and checked their surroundings for anything suspicious, I sensed it again, with it being on the right side of throne room, I looked towards that direction, and saw a glowing purple swirling circle was floating in midair. Everyone else was looking in my direction as they heard noises from that direction and saw the purple wormhole. "W-What is t-that??" Fluttershy whimpered. "I have no idea sugar cube, but I have one thin' to say and that is it doesn't look friendly." Applejack answered her shy friend. The portal, I'm gonna assume it's a portal, grew in size and it looked like it was summoned by someone powerful. As I got closer, I saw a figure beginning to materialize into the throne room, I saw it's feet come in first as they looked it had...my blue shoes? Then came the legs as they wore...the same of color of shorts I have on? Next the body and the head, which the body had the same shirt that I have on, but the color was red and white instead of blue and orange. What made me gasp was the face of the figure, it was me, but red eyes and red and white hair. Now I know who this person is, he is my evil counterpart, Evil Brian, or aka, Suski Kamuthi. I smirked, "Well I'll be." Rainbow shouted, "Hey, who are you?! You better start telling or I'll-" I put my hand in front of her to signal her to stop talking. I smiled while walking up to my counterpart, giving him a bro hug, I turned towards the other occupants in the room and explained, "Everyone, this is a friend of mine that was imagined by me." Everypony gasped as Suski smiled. "This is my evil counterpart, Evil Brian, or aka, Suski Kamuthi. Now the reason I know this, because a long time ago when I was 16, I used to imagined stuff that couldn't be possible, like the Gem of Imagination here." I showed the gem for emphasis. "And believe it or not, but I was the one who thought of the Gem of Imagination, the creators are the Imaginators. These unbelievable powers is what made me happy, made me feel like a hero. However, as I grew up older, I just sort of forget about it and didn't remember, but when Luna came to me in my dream, all of my little roleplay finally came back to me." Everyone in the room were in shock with Pinkie...with her jaw literally hitting the floor. Then, a mysterious cackle echoed into the throne room. "Oh I just love surprises today, ooh ooh! It's making me all jittery!" A booming voice said as both Suski and I both looked up into the direction of the glass paintings as we saw the picture of Discord, that's not supposed to be there, trying to be as still as possible, but Suski and I know Discord very well. "Discord, you know we can see you, right?" Suski growled, his voice being raspy and demonic. "Oh I know you can, I was just having fun!" He giggled as the picture of him started moving with the mouth moving up and down, then he slithered or flew downwards and magically appeared out of nowhere, with a very happy smile adorn on his face. Discord is the God of Chaos, he can shapeshift, switch gravity, etc., he can basically do anything if he wanted, but he's reformed as he was once a villain. "What are you doing here, Discord?" Twilight sternly spoke as she got out of her shock. "Oh I came by to check up on you, plus with these two friends of yours, maybe will have a chance to stop the portals from popping up!" He exclaimed as he grabbed us into a group hug. "Well, we were goin' to the first portal as you interrupted us. Luckily the first portal is near the castle, basically in front of the hedge maze." Applejack said. "Alright, let's go then!" Discord shouted. I rolled my eyes at Discord's enthusiasm as we walked out the castle to find the portal in the hedge maze. We got to the maze, and like Applejack said, the portal sitting right in front of the hedge maze, it was blue with white flowing in a circle. Although the coloring could be my imagination, but it does look familiar. We walked up to it as the simmering surface revealed a green and dark green checkerboard pattern with palm trees and animal looking robots. My mind was racing and I had a smile on my face as I recognized the pattern of the landscape. "What is that?" Fluttershy asked, while I looked at Suski as he knew the place as well, everyone else, no idea. "Well Fluttershy, Suski and I know this place very well, plus we will meet some new friends who have the passion to save the world and one of them is just like Rainbow Dash, but a little bit different. I think you will instantly love them." I answered her. "If this friend is just like me, I bet he's not as fast." Rainbow said while showing her muscles. I shook my head, "Oh I think this 'friend' is much faster than you think Rainbow, even I have seen his speed. He once ran all the way to one of the oceans in his world and then ran back across the whole world in under 5 seconds when at full force." When I said this, everyone was in shock at what speed this creature can go, even Rainbow almost fainted, but luckily kept her composure. "Not even I can go that fast! How would that guy be able run that fast without burning his legs off?!" She protested. "You'll see soon enough. Come on!" I shouted as I ran toward the portal and jumped in and disappeared while Suski followed behind. "Alright girls, let's just hop in and find this 'friend' he's talking about." Dash said while hovering along side Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Fluttershy, and Rainbow as they all ran or flew into the portal along with Discord who stood by, making sure the portal stays open for them to get back. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=OEboG4LnUBITo see this place was a vacation for the girls including the other Princesses. They could see ocean for miles to the east side along with grass and plenty of animals to see, which made Fluttershy all excited. I was running side by side with Suski with our hands dangling behind us to reduce wind resistance to go faster. We were all dodging obstacles left and right, and I told the girls to smash any robot they could find, and Rainbow and Applejack were betting who could smash the most. Rainbow obviously won because of her speed and agility, while Applejack was fairly close. We neared a cliffside as we stopped in front of it to see a battlefield with many robots and cages that housed the heroes of this world, the Freedom Fighters. The blue hedgehog was constantly running on a hamster wheel that kept him from running away. The others were locked up in cages with their most precious items or abilities hindered because of the shackles they were wearing. "Oh those poor creatures, are those the friends you were talking about?" Fluttershy asked me. "Yes, the blue one is named Sonic, the fastest thing alive on this world, the yellow two-tailed fox is named Tails, he's a master genius and Sonic's best friend, Sonic literally treats him like a brother. The chipmunk is named Sally Acorn, she's the heir to the throne of Prince Acorn and the brains of the group. The pink hedgehog is named Amy, she's Sonic's fangirl and wields a very powerful hammer. The red echidna is called Knuckles, the brawler and the strongest fighter here, but does have a little problem with his brain and has anger issues, he has gotten over them, but he still has them." I explained. "So, who is that?" Shining asked, eyeing the human. The human in question was non other than, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, or Dr. Eggman, he is depicted as being rotund in appearance. He possesses a dome-shaped head and no visible neck, a bald head, a bright red nose, and a very bushy mahogany moustache. Wearing red-black-yellow clothing, combined with a black onesie. "That my friends, is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, or Dr. Eggman, the arch-nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog. He's notorious for trying to take over world and trying to build his Eggman Empire. Although he has made many inventions and accomplished many goals in his life, he will always be thwarted by the Freedom Fighters." I answered. "We need to get in there without being noticeable." Twilight said. My eyes widened with an idea. I came up to Suski's left ear ear and whispered something that no one else heard. Applejack asked, "Alright, what are you two nutcases whisperin' about?" Both Suski and I looked as we smirked. I came up with the idea of actually transforming into hedgehogs ourselves. Suski volunteered to help me out with the plan while Rainbow and the Princesses will distract Eggman and lead him away from the battlefield. I transformed into a hedgehog mostly with a red coat and green stripes or palette for my spines, with my shoes being blue still, but with a ring attached with a couple of whites around the edges. Suski looked exactly like me, but with a blue coat and white palette for the stripes, and his shoes being purple instead of blue and red around the edges. The girls looked at us with Rarity saying, "You two look great, I might need to figure out how to make clothing for these type of animals." "We will figure that out later Rarity, Princesses and Dash, get Eggman away from here." I told them. The Princesses nodded their heads and flew ahead while Rainbow saluted and followed them. The girls all had their game faces on and we waited for the signal. 1st POV: Sonic Eggman was laughing his heart over the defeat of his spiny blue pest named Sonic, that would be me, as I growled as I'm still running, I have to keep doing it or I will suffer the consequences, as he built something that turned my speed against me, lacing it with high explosives' if I stopped running. As for everyone else, they were all worried about me not being able last much longer, even Tails was worried, he has seen me passing out before and hopefully I can keep this up. Suddenly, a blue rainbow blur blew past Eggman's right side as his flying saucer was sent spinning, he stopped spinning and screamed, "What in the world?!" The rest of the group were speechless, the only person who could go that fast was me, who was this person. More like what was this person, because it's not even a person, it's a cyan blue pony with Rainbow hair as she shouted, "Hey, Eggman, you want to pick a fight with somepony, you can fight me and my rulers!" As she said that, three new ponies showed up behind her, flying in tandem, two of them were significantly taller than the rest of us, with the third one being slightly smaller, one being midnight blue, and the other pure white, the last one was pink and they had wings, but the rainbowed hair one didn't have a horn on it's head. "What are you? That doesn't matter, you want to fight, fine, be my guest." Eggman scowled. "Were not fighting here as to not get them into the crossfire in our fight, Eggman." The white one said as she pointed at us. "Alright, follow me to your demise!" He shouted as he flew away along with other bots following him. The rainbow one said, "Stay right here everypony, will get this Eggman for ya, while my friends help you get out." She flew past us with speed that could match me, but I doubt it, but the group didn't know what to think. Knuckles was dumbfounded, "Did that pony just talk and told us to stay put?" Sally facepalmed, "Were talking animals Knuckles, I don't think a talking pony is any weirder." Knuckles tried to say something, but said nothing, meaning he knew she was right, he spoke a few moments later, "Ok, but she said her 'friends' will come get us. What does that mean?" "She's talking about us." A voice carried over. We all turned to see more ponies, colors mostly in rainbow being purple, white, orange, yellow, and pink, with a little green and purple baby lizard on the back of the purple one. The other two looked just like Shadow but had different colored shoes, fur, and stripes on the spines. The robots that were guarding us were alerted and stood for battle, while the red hedgehog said, "Everyone, you keep them busy, while we destroy the cages and machine that holds them." They all nodded their heads and started fighting the robots with good combos and serious teamwork. The white one was named Rarity as she teamed up with Twilight Sparkle as they started blasting the Badniks apart, Rarity looked disgusted about the detail on the robots, "Although they are good looking, I have to say they're definitely not my style, especially if they are meant harm innocent little creatures such as those birds and piglets." She said. I said, "Hey, if it makes you happier or angrier, I don't know, those robots are called Badniks and house the animals you were talking about. I smashed them plenty of times to ensure they're safety, but now it's been little less troubling because Eggman found a way to use them without using the animals." Rarity looked at me while blasting a ray of magic behind her to destroy another Badnik, which I learned from my adventures, as she asked, "How are you holding up? I heard from a friend of mine that you could run very fast, but every now and then you have to take a break." "I've been better, but not for long. I can't keep this up, and if I stop, a bomb will go off that will destroy everything in this area." I answered. "Well, this Eggman fella doesn't seem like to be a charming individual." She explained. "No kidding." I said while I was keep running. The red hedgehog came up to the console and saw the controls of the machine. He messed with some buttons and saw 'Access Denied' on the screen flashing red. "Hey, if it helps you, Eggman said something about a password named, 'Sonic' something." I told him. The hedgehog gave me the 'seriously' kind of look and typed in 'Sonic is a pest' and gained access. I had the same type of look he had as he looked at me smirking. He pushed some more buttons and a panel opened up in front of him. He grabbed the components from inside and the bomb made a loud whining noise, which was getting slower and slower, as it died, the machine gave off a loud puff of steam which signaled that it had been shut down. I stopped running to catch my breath as I saw the rainbow one came up to me and hold out it's hoof to me, I grabbed it and pulled myself up to see the taller of the ponies standing near the cages and using it's magic to release everyone. "I definitely need to stop messing with something that's out of my power." I asked the big white one, "Where is Eggman?" "We tried as hard we could, but he soon knew our plan and went back here, thankfully my teleportation got here faster than he did." She said. "So, as we wait for him to get back, can you please introduce yourselves so we introduce ourselves as well." The yellow pony said to me. "Well my name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog." I said while giving thumbs up. "My name is Miles Tails Prower, but everyone calls me Tails." Tails said. "Hello, my name is Sally Acorn." Sally said as she bows. "My name is Knuckles, enough said." Knuckles said while looking away. "At least be nice, I could tell the taller ones were royalty because of their crowns and they seem more powerful than the other ponies." I told him. "Alright." He grumbled. "Hi, my name is Amy Rose." Amy said as she bow in a kirtsie. I smiled as I looked at the two hedghogs and asked, "Who are you two?" "Well, my name is Brian Oliver, or Brian the Hedgehog for that matter. This is my evil counterpart and don't worry he's not evil if your thinking that, anyways, this is Vernex the Hedgehog or Suski Kamuthi or Evil Brian, whichever you prefer." I answered. "Hello." Suski greeted. I looked at the ponies as they stepped up and the purple one said, "Well, my name is Princess Twilight Sparkle, or Twilight and this is my assistant Spike the dragon." "Hello everyone!" Spike screamed. "Hi, I'm Fluttershy the animal caretaker." Fluttershy said in her quiet voice. "My name is Rarity, darlings, I work at the Carousel Boutique because fashion is my calling." Rarity said. "Hi my name is Pinkie Pie and the best party pony you can ask for!" Pinkie said cheerfully. "Howdy partner, my name is Applejack, my friends usually call me AJ for short and I'm the farmer on Sweet Apple Acres, we have the Bettermost apples you have ever dreamed of." Applejack said in a western accent. The one wearing the armor came up and said, "Nice to meet you, I'm Shining Armor, Twilight's brother and husband to her foalsitter Princess Cadance." Princess Cadance waved her hoof. I saluted him to show a sign of respect along with Tails as he saluted back. The taller regal pony came up to me and said, "I am Princess Celestia and this is my younger sister Princess Luna." Luna walked beside her sister and gave a smile. I went down on one knee and lowered my head in a knight's position. Celestia and Luna didn't expect this, but Brian did somehow, "Well, if you must know Princess, like I said I know a lot and from what I've learned, Sonic here have been experienced with magic before as he was sucked into a book of the Knights of the Round Table, although King Arthur is the evil of the story, Sonic is actually the true King Arthur as in the king of the knights." Brian smiled. I sheepishly smiled as I raised to see my friends also bowing their heads to show a sign of respect. I looked at Brian and asked, "How did you know that?" He smiled, "It's a secret." He puts his index finger to his lips to be quiet. I definitely know not to mess with a specific timeline, if you change one thing, it could mess up the entire thing completely. My ear twitched at the sound of buzzing as I looked behind me to see Eggman flying in his machine by himself. I smiled that he could handle such powerful magic ponies. His eyes twitched to see all of us standing here unaffected by the machine. "How did you escape my traps?!" He screamed. Brian came beside me and answered, "Well if you must know Egghead, we managed to disable the bomb connected to Sonic's running wheel and blasted your robots apart." His entire face was boiling red as steam started shooting out of his ears as he screamed his heart out. He stopped as he smirked and pressed a button that made a loud noise as the ground started shaking. A huge explosion came from behind us to see a giant hawk like robot that I was not amused about. "Really Eggman, the Egg Hawk? Isn't that just old school and we defeated it already. Can you just make it harder for us?" I asked smirking. "Come on Sonic, you know as well as I do that I will not forget my mission of making my Eggman Empire, and you're not going to stop me!" He shouted. "Believe it Eggman, we stopped you once before and we can do it again. And we have new friends to back us up. You ready Brian?" He got into a low stance to shoot off. I mimicked his position and said, "You don't have to say anything, I'm ready." Vs Dr. Eggman and Splitting Up: Chapter 31st POV: Me When I saw the Egg Hawk I internally laughed at the Doctor's stupidity, I mean the circuitry and electronics hidden inside the machine are just poorly designed, and this is one of his more powerful machines. It was very lackluster and not even close to the technology I can create in my fantasy world, and plus I’m probably as smart or even smarter than him. I shook my head in disappointment and tried my hardest to not roll my eyes and stated, “Man, if I were to give your little machine there Eggman, I would give it a 10...” I prolonged for Eggman to grin while everyone else was glaring at me. “Why thank you strange hedgehog, I think I’m starting to like you. You know for being so smart, I believe that I could at least get a-” He stopped because I interrupted with, “-out of 1000.” Everyone stared at me and then started to laugh uncontrollable, what's even funnier is that it really made Eggman fume in his mech, whining like a little baby, even puffs of steam came out of the ears of the robot if it has any. “YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT YOU LITTLE RODENT!!!” He screamed. He fired off a couple of missiles at us. Everyone except Sonic, Vernex, and myself dodged all the missiles with their respective attributes like magic shields or any other ways to defend themselves. A missile was headed straight for Rarity as she was distracted from all of the explosions and I yelled, "RARITY, LOOKOUT!" I rushed towards her. Rarity gasped and closed her eyes and waited for the inevitable explosion. It never came... Rarity opened her eyes and saw a large cloud of smoke in front of her, she could see an outline of a large being inside the smoke. Whatever this being was, it protected her. Rarity glanced over to the being that saved her but froze upon laying eye contact with it. She was looking at me, but I transformed into my werewolf form. While my shirt has exploded off from the bulge of muscle, the pay off was worth it. I was at least 7 foot 9-10, the fur that covered my muscle-bound body was silvery dark blue with patches of blue on my face. Speaking of face, a long muzzle stretched out from my face that had razor-sharp teeth and my eyes are midnight blue with the pupils being a slit, just like snakes. My legs bended awkwardly to form massive three toed wolf-like feet while my arms grew longer to form massive claws. I breathed in and let out a huge roar that caused a massive shockwave that knocked everyone except Vernex on their butts. Rarity looked at me and stuttered, "B-B-Brian, i-is that y-you?" I looked a Rarity with a smile, "Yes Rarity, it's me." My voice changed into a much deeper and dark tone with a bit of rasp in it. Everyone's eyes were wide, well except for Vernex as he smiled upon my transformation. "Well, are you going to join me, Brother?" I asked Vernex. He chuckled, "Of course." His body glowed brightly and became smaller and smaller until he changed into a ball of light and floated towards me. He seeped into my chest as I breathed in to feel my power increase dramatically. I turned around to see Eggman's face full of fear. I laughed, "Ah man, Eggman, if only you could see your face right now. Believe me, I would feel the same way if I could see myself. Besides, I think your the 100th person to see me like this. So great job!" Fluttershy ran up to me and hugged me, but she only came up to my knees so she was trying to hug me which she was failing laughably. "Oh, you are so cute! While you may look scary, you are so fluffy!" She yelled inside my fur. I smiled and gave Fluttershy a pat on the head, "Thanks Fluttershy, you are one of the few people or ponies who call me cute. One of them happens to be my girlfriend." Celestia came out of her shocked state and said, "You have a girlfriend? I'm actually shocked your here without her, won't she miss you?" I looked at Celestia, "Actually, she is much of an adventurer as I am, plus I got two daughters waiting for me, but she knows that I do this type of hero work for a living, and believe it or not, I am actually over 1,000 years old." Everyone gasped including Eggman, who was currently staring wide eyes at me, he composed himself and stated, "Even if you are a werewolf of lore, YOU WON'T STOP ME FROM CONQUERING MOBIUS, ALONG WITH THEIR WORLD! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA!" He almost choked on his own laugh. I closed my eyes and transformed back into my hedgehog form and chuckled, "Well, we won't let that happen." I closed my eyes once more, feeling the energy around me, absorbing it into my body. As soon as I opened up my eyes, my hands lit up in flames. I shouted, "CHAOS BOOST!" I glowed an ethereal golden orange as my fur changed into a light orange with my spines changing into a aqua color, a orange aura surrounded me, I smirked, "It's time I showed you that Shadow isn't the only Chaos powered being in this world." Everyone else got into battle positions beside me, charging up with their respective abilities. Eggman shouted, "ATTAAAACK!!!" All of his remaining Badniks charged forward in groups, while me and my friends charged forward, intercepting them. Once when were close enough, Shadow and I charged up and threw sparks of Chaos powered fireballs, exploding a group of Motobugs. Sonic and Amy teamed up, Amy swinging her hammer at Sonic in his ball form, destroying Badniks in front of them, then with one last hard swing, Sonic boosted forward for more speed sand strength, crashing right into 5 more Badniks. The Mane 6 grouped up, with Shining Armor and Cadance helping out Twilight and Rarity, while Celestia and Luna helped out Knuckles and Tails. Magical beams were being casted left and right, kicking, punching, bashing, and crushing were heard all throughout the battle. I saw opportunity to show off my Chaos powers, I crouched down with flames surrounding me, everyone else watched on from afar, Shadow smirking in anticipation. I jumped up high into the air, disappearing into three small fireballs, then reappearing when the fireballs combined, with my back turned towards the ground and a smile on my face, I shouted my technique, "CHAOS..." With the power over fire, I used my flames as thrusters through my hands, and sped towards the ground in stylish fashion, then shouting the other half of the technique, "INFERNO!" With an explosion of flames, I struck the ground hard and every single Badnik that was in the crossfire was burned beyond repair. I looked up at Eggman, keeping my smile on at all times throughout my power display. Eggman was shocked, but then gritted his teeth, "ONE DAY, I WILL GET YOU, YOU RODENT!!! I WILL FIND THEIR WORLD AND CONQUER IT, BOTH WORLDS WILL BE REMADE IN MY IMAGE! YOU'LL SEE! UNTIL NEXT TIME, RODENT!" After that long screaming fit, he fired up the Egg Hawk and flew away, and here I thought he was gonna use it, but I guess not. Discord sat impatiently playing some type of device that shouldn't exist in his world. He kept his eye on the portal as it shimmered, then me and the Mane 6 plus Shining, Cadance, Celestia, Luna, and the Freedom Fighters popped out, landing on the ground. Discord smiled, "Ah, your back, so, how did it go?" I gave back a smile, "Went off without a hitch!" I transformed back to normal as we went through the portal. The rest of the Freedom Fighters stayed behind just in case old Egghead decided to come back. Sonic and Shadow came with us for some extra power and allies. Celestia suggested that the princesses should go back to their duties while rest of us deal with the portals. I agreed with her as she and rest of princesses have jobs, Shining decided to stick around for a while just for Twilight's safety and the fact it is always good to have more hands or hooves on deck. "Well then, let's get rolling towards that next portal." I said. "Right, let's move." Shadow stated while getting a head start. All of us ran after him in an effort to catch up, but what adventure awaits us through this next portal, who knows?
Meeting Royalty: Chapter 1No one expects anything in the supernatural, nor does anyone think that anything supernatural exist, but for me, my life is about to change with the chance to meet the supernatural. Hi, my name is Brian Oliver, I'm 23 years old, and just about finished with school. I hear the ringing of the school bell as everyone gets up from their seats with backpacks in tow to head outside. The doors are opened as the kids happily run outside to their buses, but for me, my dad is picking me up from school. “Hey kiddo, you got any homework to do over summer vacation?” My dad asked from inside the car. It’s true, it’s now the end of the school year and it’s now summer vacation. “Not today dad, no homework for me.” I answered him. I was wearing my favorite blue t-shirt with a rainbow gem in the middle, along with tan khaki shorts and my blue and orange shoes. “Get in bud.” He said. I walked over towards the passenger side and got into the passenger seat and buckled my seatbelt and we drove off towards my house. After 30 minutes of driving, we roll up to my house, I live in a two story building that is blue and orange in a swirling pattern on the front and back of the house and a striped pattern of black and white for the roof. We rolled into the driveway and I got out of the car and waved goodbye to my dad. He gave the return wave and drove off into the distance. As I unlocked the door to my house, something caught my eye in my peripheral vision, it was shiny to put it bluntly, but when I went towards it and picked it up to examine it up close, it was hexagonal shaped, but stretched out and 3D looking. I realized that this gem is something I made up back when I was 16 years old, the Gem of Imagination. How is this here? I thought it didn't exist. I thought to myself. I didn’t notice it shining more brightly before I needed to close my eyes to not get blind. “What the?! What is it….doing...” My speech slowed down and I started feeling woozy and I fell over onto my stomach and lost consciousness. I woke up with a groan and stood up nice and easy to avoid falling over again. I managed to stand up and opened up my eyes and looked around...and my god, was it beautiful. This void was a sight to a behold, tiny stars littered the dark sky, bright blue mist surrounded me, and many different planets placed in the night sky. “Where am I? Is this like an another plane of existing?” I asked to no one particular. “You’re mostly correct about that assumption, human.” An mysterious elegant voice spoke out of nowhere. I jumped up in surprise, but reacted quickly and put my hands up in an defensive stance. “Who’s there?! I know how to fight, so don’t try any funny business!” I exclaimed to ward off the enemy. “Oh, pardon me, I wouldn’t dream of it, I just came in to talk with you.” The voice came to my right, it sounded female, I looked towards my right and a figure stepped into full view. It was a dark-blue tall alicorn, with her hair being mostly transparent, faded coloration of blues and composed of stars waving in the wind, she also had a tattoo of a eclipse on her flank. She had blue eyes and looked to be about 6 ft tall, not counting the horn. I was not expecting to meet this familiar alicorn, because I instantly recognized her. “P-Princess Luna!! I-Its a pleasure to meet you, your majesty.” I bowed in respect as done in my training in Taekwondo martial arts, I clasped my hands together flat, one hand on top of the other and placing them in front of my waist and slowly lowering my upper body. “You don’t need to be so formal, I came here to seek your help.” This...was also unexpected, although she has been in trouble before, but to call me instead of her own kind, this must be very serious. “But why seek me out, Princess? I’m just a normal human, if I knew what to do, I would help, but I don’t know how to deal with the situation your in.” I said. Yes, I was worried, but I don’t know what their situation is, nor do I know how to combat magical beings. “Please do this for my subjects, my friends, my Sister. There is something you could do, it’s your imagination.” She was about to cry, but I kneeled down to her level and put my right hand on her neck to calm her down. “My imagination is something that I cherish for many years, if you say that my imagination is needed for this task. I will do anything to help out.” I said confidently. “Thank you. What’s your name, human?” She asked while wiping a tear off her face. “My name is Brian Oliver, Princess Luna.” I answered. She smiled. “Please come with me, I have to show you something.” I nodded and stood up and followed her through the misty black fog. I waved around to blow away the mist as I finally saw where we were, white stairs came into view and I saw a very tall mountain, with what looked like a shrine built below the massive rock formation. A pedestal stood in the middle of the shrine and something was placed on the pedestal. “What is…that?” I asked Luna as she trotted in front of me and gestured towards the item on the pedestal. “That my friend is the item you’ll need for this quest. Please take it; it is now yours to command.” She happily said. I couldn’t turn down a gift from a princess, so I walked up to the pedestal and the light was no longer there and it showed the same gem that was outside of my house. I was shocked to see it was here. “This is same gem that brought me here." I narrowed my eyes, "I now know what to do.” I breathed in and out to calm myself and willingly took the gem off the pedestal. I mentally commanded Necklace and the Gem of Imagination was hanging around my neck. Then the whole place shook like if a earthquake happened, and the pedestal was slowly sinking into the earth. The G.O.I was shining even brighter than before and I covered my eyes and feeling woozy once more and falling unconscious. Before I blacked out, I could hear Princess Luna saying in pain and fear with scratchiness in her voice, “Please...Help....us” Then I heard a loud crash and I couldn’t hear her anymore. I mentally shouted, PRINCESS LUNA!!! Then all went black. I woke up with a massive headache and I tried opening eyes, but the sun in the sky blinded me and I needed to block my eyes again. How many times am I going to get blinded today? I mentally asked myself. I finally opened my eyes to see a vast forest in front of me, beautiful yellow flowers, soft green grass, and humongous trees. I turned to my right to see a ocean blue lake with loads of animals, like a brown bear, bunnies, lizards, etc. drinking or finding food from the bushes. I got up to my feet and walked towards the lake and looked at my reflection. I was still human, with my clothes still on. If Princess Luna sent me here, that must mean I’m in Equestria, and this is the Everfree Forest. However, what could possibly be the problem here? I asked myself. The animals looked at me and by strange reasons, they didn’t seem to affected by my appearance. The brown bear, who was named Harry from the show, walked on all fours and came up to me and it spoke to me in perfect English. Who are you? Harry asked. "My name is Brian Oliver, I was sent here on a mission by Princess Luna herself. I want to know what is going on, has anything strange been happening recently?” I asked the bear. The bear growled while also frowning, There were these hairless apes who claim to be poachers and have captured many ponies, including Fluttershy and her friends. My eyes widened, this is what ticked me the most about bad guys, poachers are people who will do anything to capture and torture animals and sell them on the market for huge prices. I was angry, I scowled, “Where are they?” The bear was frightened, but this animal probably trusts me and feels the same way. He said, They are in Ponyville, go that way to get out of the forest and meet with Zecora. She knows this better than anypony else. He pointed with his right front paw to his right. I nodded my head and started running towards that direction to get to Zecora's hut. Hopefully I’m not too late. I said to myself. After a few hours of running, I managed to find the little hut in the middle of the forest and stopped running to see if Zecora has heard me or seen me. I made sure to check my surroundings just in case. A strange voice came from the hut, "Human, in here." I followed the voice and cautiously moved into the small hut and to not hit my head. I found Zecora making some type of soup or potion. Zecora is a master in making potions and brewing when it comes plants or other materials, but what you don't know is that she is actually a zebra, like from my world. "Hello Zecora, It's nice to meet you." I happily said, trying to stay to positive in this little predicament she's in. "It's nice meet you too, but what is your name?" She asked. "My name is Brian Oliver. I'm here to help with dealing with these poachers, and I for one hate poachers doing this to you. It's bad enough they're here, but capturing innocent ponies is way too far." I scowled. "Yes, I can see that, but they have captured the Princesses, Twilight and her friends with little to no effort, they had these spell binding rings for unicorns and rope for pegasi so they cannot fly." I was shocked, these poachers must have gotten some information from someone to be able to capture the Mane 6 and the Princesses. I told her about the confrontation that I had with Princess Luna. She continued, "I see, please go save them, oh and please use this to get rid of the spell binding rings." She gave me a key that had blue neon lines running across diagonally and horizontally around it. I gave her the salute to show her I will do my best to save her friends. I ran out of the hut and into the direction of Ponyville, and from what I could tell from watching the show it was not far from here. I picked up the pace by parkouring onto trees or logs to get more momentum and after a few solid minutes, I finally reached outskirts of the forest with Ponyville in my sights. Here we go. I mentally said and started running towards Ponyville. Meanwhile, we see Ponyville, a little town in Equestria, filled with happiness and friendship with the Friendship Castle in view, but it was not a happy day, these so called poachers came into Ponyville and started capturing ponies from all around. To make it even worse, they had special equipment that could contain the magical abilities of Earth ponies, unicorns, pegasi, and believe it or not, Alicorns as well. Twilight was one of those Alicorn princesses with a certain spell binding ring on her horn, rope tied around her wings to prohibit her flying capabilities as she was carried by two of the poachers, she mumbled, "This can't be happening. How could they have known how to deal with us?" She was forcefully pushed into a cell with another pony with cyan blue fur, rainbow hair and tail with her wings just like Twilights, tied down so she couldn't fly, her name was Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier of all of Equestria. "Twilight?!" She ran up to Twilight and hold out her hoof, "Are you okay?" She asked worried about her friend. Twilight took Rainbow's hoof and lifted herself up, "I'm fine Rainbow. What do we do? The Princesses are captured just like us, the only way to get out of here is for somepony to save us." "Hopefully is somepony who could kick their butts!" She scowled at the poachers who were standing guard at each cell, Celestia with Luna, Cadence with Shining, Fluttershy with Applejack, and Pinkie Pie with Rarity. Spike was still in the castle before they were captured and hid inside the Cutie Map room. "Please Spike, come save us." She whimpered while in tears. As I was running towards Ponyville, I conducted a plan inside my head to save the ponies. Spike was probably hiding in the Castle of Friendship, maybe in the Cutie Map room. I noticed the poachers were patrolling the area, so I used the houses as my cover to sneak from behind. I saw the doorway that leads to the inside of the castle. I could get to the entrance, but it was guarded by poachers. Thankfully I saw a window that was open near the Cutie Map room. One of the hallway windows probably, I activated the gems powers and gained stealth mode and increased jump. I jumped up into the open window and landed quietly and started sneaking around looking for that cutie map room. Where are you Spike? I asked myself. I finally found the room and opened up the door slightly and found Spike on the table cowering in fear. I opened up the door quietly and slowly approached Spike and tapped him on the back. He screamed, "AAHHH-!" He couldn't get it out as I put my hand over his mouth to keep him from screaming any longer. I looked back at the door and saw no movement for a couple of seconds, I sighed in relief and uncloaked myself and looked back at Spike and said, "I need you to calm down Spike, I'm going to take my hand away, you promise not to scream." He nodded his head and I took my hand off of his mouth, he breathed in and out and stuttered, "W-Who are y-you?" "Hello Spike, I'm Brian Oliver, I'm here to help with your 'poacher' problem." I said. He smiled, "Thank you, but how do you know my name, and how do you know what’s going on?" "Your first question, I will tell another time, your second is that I was given this mission by Princess Luna and with a little help from Zecora, as she figured how to get rid of the spell binding rings." I showed him the key that Zecora gave me and he gasped in happiness, "I will need your help with this Spike." I continued. He frowned, "How can I help? I'm just an assistant and a baby dragon. I don't know how to fight." I chuckled, "Come on Spike, what would you do if Twilight and her friends were in danger, would you run away or save them, and fight like a man?" He puffed up his chest, "I'll save them, even if I can't fight, I'll do my best to help." I smiled, "That's the Spike I know, now come on we got a town to save." I picked him up and put him on my shoulder and he was ready to fight and so was I. We got past the guards that were stationed inside the castle and knocked out the poachers guarding the entrance, we hid behind a house and looked at the cells that the rest of the poachers were currently guarding in the middle of Ponyville. I whispered to Spike, "Spike, I need you to get those cages open, use those claws of yours to pick the locks, I'm going to distract them as long as I can, you got that." He nodded his head and sneakily ran to the cages, and I use my recently acquired superpowers and jumped into a corkscrew frontflip to get over the cages and landed right in the middle of the poachers in a awesome pose. The poachers surrounded me, lifting up their guns and pointing them at me, I'm just smiling with confidence. "Who are you!? Tell us!" One of them yelled, keeping his gun ready to fire. I stood up and said, "Oh me, I'm just a bystander passing through the town.” I looked all around to see so many ponies in cages, “It seems you did a number on those ponies and this village.” I grinned and looked past them to see Spike using his claws to pick at the lock that both Twilight and Rainbow were sitting in, staying quiet, knowing what would happen if they find him. They both looked at me, waiting for the signal to jump in. "Oh yeah, but then why are you a here human, just like us?" The leader I suppose scowled at me. "Well lets just say we all are not from around here, especially poachers, who I can't stand doing this to innocent ponies." My eyes were intimidating them, it showed that I had no fear. A tiny bright flash of rainbow shined through my eyes. The leader gained the courage to step up, "If you can't stand us, then why are you here?" "A special pony told me of this problem and asked me to help. I wasn't going to stand quiet while you just torture this ponies, you have any idea who you are messing with!" I walked menacingly towards the leader while he just stood there with a smile on his face. I looked past them again to see Spike had finally opened the cage and hid under it, while Rainbow looked at me and gave a nod to attack from behind. "You're just a human, what chance do you have against us all?" He pointed the gun at my face, while the ponies were in shock to see me not being scared by this threat. With a gust of wind rushing past the leaders face, I instantly grabbed the rifle from his hand, pushed him so hard he stumbled, and like breaking a tree in half, I snapped the rifle in two pieces with my knee and threw it behind me. The leader was speechless, he couldn't believe this human was that strong to break a rifle strong enough to withstand the magical powers of an Alicorn in half. I lifted my right hand up in the air counted down from 3...2...1, the leader was confused, until my last finger hit my palm and Rainbow Dash jumped up and kicked the leader in the back of his head. Rainbow Dash was smiling, the leader shouted, "How did you-?!" He stopped his sentence and saw that Twilight was untied and ready to fight along with Spike, who is the one who untied her. The leader was furious and looked at me, "You sneaky little vermin!" He yelled. "Oh I'm the sneaky one, what about you? You came in here and decided to ruin these ponies fun, so it's only fair that I ruin yours. In fact, here's a little present from me to you!" I rushed him with such speed, he never had a chance to react and was given a thrust kick to his stomach. He doubled over the pain and I surrounded my right arm with flames and gave him a flaming powered uppercut as I shouted, "Sky Uppercut!" That sent him flying over 50 feet in the air. I grinned and walked towards Twilight and pulled the key out that Zecora gave me, "Here you go Princess." I inserted it into the ring and the ring glowed white and it magically disappeared. Feeling her magic coming back, her horn sparked to life in a transparent purple waving aura and she used her magic to open up all the cages with no effort, except the cages that held her brother and the other Princesses, she couldn't seem to open the lock. She said, "I can't open those cages, the only way to open them is with another type of magic that I don't possess." The other poachers all pointed their at rifles and were ready to end their lives. "How about we show these wannabes what for, eh?" I smiled, dropping into an Canadian accent. Twilight smiled as well, with Rarity sparking her horn, Pinkie readying her party cannon by pulling out of her mane, Applejack kicking her legs, Rainbow flying in style, and Fluttershy staring at her enemies. "Poachers, get them!" One of them shouted and all of them started shooting their rifles, while Twilight conjured up a magic shield to protect us. "Whoever you are, if you have magic to release them, do it now!" Twilight shouted at me, I nodded my head and ran towards the cells holding Shining and the other Princesses. I kneeled in front of the lock and put my hand over it and closed my eyes and concentrated. Twilight looked at me seeing my posture and yelled, "Girls, we need to buy him some time, are you ready!?" "YEAH!!!" They all shouted. Twilight yelled, "CHARGE!!!" All of them charged at the poachers and the poachers charged at them for this epic battle. Applejack and Rainbow were punching and kicking poachers left and right, Applejack bucking a poacher in the gut while saying, “These poachers are really gettin’ on my nerves, rainbow can you set some of them into a line so I can ‘bowl’ them over yonder?” She smiled, knowing her idea, “You got it AJ!” She grabbed about 5-6 poachers and put them into a line and gave Applejack a barrel. Appejack turned around and bucked the barrel right into the poachers, knocking them over. “YEE-HAW!! Now that’s more like it, what’s next?” She eagerly smile while running towards my position with Rainbow Dash. On the opposite side of the battlefield, Pinkie was firing batter at poachers to blind them, while Rarity was firing off bolts of magic at them to show she means business. “So Rarity, what do you think about their choice of clothes and weaponry?” Pinkie asked while shooting another batch of batter. “Hmph. They’re most certainly disgusting and not well made, and their weaponry is so tachy, even I wouldn’t make them, even they are pretty good looking, but it’s not very fun to have them” She was absolutely disgusted. “Rarity, they’re firearms, of course their going to look pretty, but no1 as pretty as my party cannon, oh did I tell you the time where I painted my-” She couldn’t finish her story because Rarity put her hoof in her mouth to quiet her. “Pinkie, I think were done here.” Pinkie looked back at the battle and saw that the poachers were covered in batter and unconscious. “Oh, alright!” Pinkie bounced away from the carnage while Rarity just smiled at a job well done and headed back to the cages. Twilight and Fluttershy were trying to fend off the poachers as best as they could while protecting me as I was still concentrating on the lock. “Come on Fluttershy, we can do this!” She encouraged Fluttershy while she was throwing barrels and food at the poachers, and with the words of Twilight, she was doing it faster than ever. The other girls came up beside them and stood ready for more. Applejack comes up to Twilight and asks, “How’s he doin’ with the lock, he’s been doin’ it for a coon’s age.” She looked at me and saw that the lock was open, but needed to be unlocked from the outside, but I can’t do it, someone else has to unlock it. “I think it’s unlocked, but I’m willing to bet it needs to be unlocked from the outside” She assumed. Applejack nodded and ran over to me and kicked the lock off the cage itself, while I opened up my eyes and smiled at her, and she smiled back. We both opened the cage and I pulled the key and stick into all the rings in the Princesses horns and Shining's horn, while AJ bit at the ropes to untie the Princesses. Celestia stood up to her full height at 6’1 and smiled, “Thank you for saving us, human.” Luna chuckled, “Sister, this human’s name is Brian Oliver.” I smiled, she remembered the talk we had, while Celestia looked confused at her sister. “Luna, you know this human?” She asked, Luna nodding her head. “I met her while I was still my world and found this gem and she came to me for help.” I showed Celestia the G.O.I I got from Luna. She eyed it and smiled at her sister, “Thank you Luna for seeking help.” She hugged her sister, tears flowing down her face. “Not to sound rude, but your name is Brian, right?” Shining asked. I nodded my head confirming it. “Are you even properly trained as a fighter, I mean you don’t like your-” he was cut off by his wife Cadence when she put her hoof in front of his mouth. “Sorry about my husband’s reaction, Brian.” She smiled sheepishly. I chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’ve been in the army for about 3 years, a black belt in Taekwondo, Karate, and a master at wrestling.” Shining Armor was shocked to hear I was in the army for that long. “I guess I misjudged you, Brian, thank you for your service. What do you specialize in?” He asked. “I specialize in explosives and demolition, and thank you for trusting me Shining.” We both gave the salute to show respect for each other. “I hate to ruin the moment, but we need to get rid of these varmins once and for all, any ideas Brian.” I was thinking, but then Celestia said, “I handle it Applejack.” She walked towards Twilight and the others with a stern face and uses her magic to seize the rifles of the poachers and destroys them. She then grabs the poachers leader and looks at me and with the look saying ‘would you care to do the honors,’ and throws the leader into my direction. "You should have left when you had the chance," I growled. I then started to pummel the leader with elemental attacks, dubbed, "Thunder Punch!" As I slugged him in the stomach with a electric charged left hook, shifting to my right hand, encasing it in a cold icy aura, I jabbed the leader in the face while shouting, "Ice Punch!" He stumbled back a few steps as I wound up my right hand again, but instead thrust it into the ground while yelling, "Stone Edge!" Large jagged stones erupted from the earth heading towards the leader, and then smashed into him causing him to be thrown into the air. I rushed towards him and caught him in a suplex position, forcing him to be upside down, then twisting him so that is back was facing away from me, and with force, drove him downwards head first into the earth in a piledriving move, I dubbed, the Starlight Driver. A crater formed as we landed, I stood up and narrowed my eyes at the poachers, they were shaking in fear, my face contorted in anger and confidence, I picked up the leader by the scruff of his uniform and growled, “Get out.” I threw him into the other poachers and they caught him and they all scurried off into the distance. I breathed heavily for few seconds before Celestia came over and uses her magic to make me fall asleep. I knew this was a decision she wanted to make because it seems like she knew I was exhausted and I smiled for her action. “Sweet dreams, our savior, bring him to the castle. We have a little explaining to do when he wakes up.” She said to everypony. Everypony nods their head and with Celestia using her magic teleport us to Canterlot, all was silent. Author's Note Note: I'm not going to be able to write about how Luna or Zecora talks in this story, so please excuse my writing. Overall, I hope you enjoyed this little bit of my imporved story, but feel free to see my old one if need be.
Explanation and Strange Portals: Chapter 2The bright sunlight shone through the curtains in one of the guest room that I was currently sleeping in, I slowly opened up my eyes and rose up to take off the blanket that I was covered by, I saw a alarm clock on my right on a dresser that said 8:30AM in the morning, I slowly grabbed the blue and white blanket off of me and I got off the bed that was...slightly smaller than me, what, if you were 6'5 and had to sleep on a bed that was smaller than you, you would feel insulted. I walked up to the door to the bedroom that I resided and opened it up to reveal two guards standing at the doorway, both of them nodded their heads and turned to look at me. The one on the right said, "The Princesses has requested your presence in the throne room." I nodded my head, and they stepped back a bit for me to walk through, escorting me down the hallway that veered off to the right. Suddenly, I stopped, and felt a little tingle on my spine like some sort of Spider-Sense, I think I'll call it, "Chaos Sense," the guard to my left noticed me stopping and asked, "What's the matter?" I answered, "I felt something, but I don't know what it is." Something was going to happen and it is big, whatever it is, but I didn't dwell on the sensation nor did the guards as they kept on walking with me following behind them. We walked from door to door, and just like all castles, the biggest out of all of the doors will lead to the throne room, with two more guards standing guard as they opened the doors with their magic to let me see Twilight and her friends, along with Spike, Shining Armor, Cadance, Luna, and Celestia, all waiting for my arrival. I walked in and immediately gave the same bow I gave to Luna when I met her for the first time to Celestia. Celestia waved her hoof with her golden shoes, "Please come in human, no need for formalities." I rose up and walked up to them and saw all of the Mane Six were smiling at me, considering Spike and I saved them. I smiled, "Pleasure to meet you, your majesties, thank you for putting me to sleep, I had very long day at school." Celestia smiled back and grabbed a cup full of tea, strawberry flavored from what I can smell from the aroma, "It is no trouble, human." I noticed that she said 'human,' and not my name, I mentally facepalmed, "Oh wait, forgot introduce myself properly, my name is Brian Oliver, personal student of Master Hong of the Taekwondo martial arts. Ranking at blackbelt for Taekwondo and Karate, also a wrestling prodigy and explosive Army General." I said proudly. Rainbow Dash came up to me and gave me a hoof bump, "Your a blackbelt in both Taekwondo and Karate! Man, I want to be a blackbelt in other martial arts." "Believe it or not, Taekwondo is one of the harder martial arts to use, especially if you were young as 12 years old." "You started when you were twelve!! Awesome!" She smiled to find somepony to teach her a another martial arts. "Anyways, we ask you to come here to help us understand something so weird, even Discord is stumped." Cadance worriedly said. "What kind of weird? What would stump the God of Chaos?" I questioned. "There has been strange portals that have been popping up all around Canterlot. Thankfully, nothing terrible has come out of them, but I'm worried that one of my pony subjects will go in one of them, so we ask every guard available to quarantine everypony from the portals until further noticed." Celestia sighed. "How many portals are there?" I asked. "Well darling, we conclude that they're 3 portals in total, from what the guards of Canterlot could see, two portals are stationed in Canterlot, while the third one is believed to be in Ponyville." Rarity said. "And you want me and I guess the girls and probably Spike to go into these portals and see what is going on?" I asked. "Yes, if you insist on them coming with you-" Celestia never got to finish her sentence as the ground started to shake violently. The castle walls were starting to crumble by massive shake. "What is happenin'?!" Applejack shouted. "I don't know, there wasn't supposed to be an earthquake today, let alone any!" Twilight shouted back. The shaking stopped after a few more seconds, with everyone relaxing, but then, I felt the same ominous vibration that I sensed during my path to the throne room, "Everyone, I think we got company." Everyone heard my statement and checked their surroundings for anything suspicious, I sensed it again, with it being on the right side of throne room, I looked towards that direction, and saw a glowing purple swirling circle was floating in midair. Everyone else was looking in my direction as they heard noises from that direction and saw the purple wormhole. "W-What is t-that??" Fluttershy whimpered. "I have no idea sugar cube, but I have one thin' to say and that is it doesn't look friendly." Applejack answered her shy friend. The portal, I'm gonna assume it's a portal, grew in size and it looked like it was summoned by someone powerful. As I got closer, I saw a figure beginning to materialize into the throne room, I saw it's feet come in first as they looked it had...my blue shoes? Then came the legs as they wore...the same of color of shorts I have on? Next the body and the head, which the body had the same shirt that I have on, but the color was red and white instead of blue and orange. What made me gasp was the face of the figure, it was me, but red eyes and red and white hair. Now I know who this person is, he is my evil counterpart, Evil Brian, or aka, Suski Kamuthi. I smirked, "Well I'll be." Rainbow shouted, "Hey, who are you?! You better start telling or I'll-" I put my hand in front of her to signal her to stop talking. I smiled while walking up to my counterpart, giving him a bro hug, I turned towards the other occupants in the room and explained, "Everyone, this is a friend of mine that was imagined by me." Everypony gasped as Suski smiled. "This is my evil counterpart, Evil Brian, or aka, Suski Kamuthi. Now the reason I know this, because a long time ago when I was 16, I used to imagined stuff that couldn't be possible, like the Gem of Imagination here." I showed the gem for emphasis. "And believe it or not, but I was the one who thought of the Gem of Imagination, the creators are the Imaginators. These unbelievable powers is what made me happy, made me feel like a hero. However, as I grew up older, I just sort of forget about it and didn't remember, but when Luna came to me in my dream, all of my little roleplay finally came back to me." Everyone in the room were in shock with Pinkie...with her jaw literally hitting the floor. Then, a mysterious cackle echoed into the throne room. "Oh I just love surprises today, ooh ooh! It's making me all jittery!" A booming voice said as both Suski and I both looked up into the direction of the glass paintings as we saw the picture of Discord, that's not supposed to be there, trying to be as still as possible, but Suski and I know Discord very well. "Discord, you know we can see you, right?" Suski growled, his voice being raspy and demonic. "Oh I know you can, I was just having fun!" He giggled as the picture of him started moving with the mouth moving up and down, then he slithered or flew downwards and magically appeared out of nowhere, with a very happy smile adorn on his face. Discord is the God of Chaos, he can shapeshift, switch gravity, etc., he can basically do anything if he wanted, but he's reformed as he was once a villain. "What are you doing here, Discord?" Twilight sternly spoke as she got out of her shock. "Oh I came by to check up on you, plus with these two friends of yours, maybe will have a chance to stop the portals from popping up!" He exclaimed as he grabbed us into a group hug. "Well, we were goin' to the first portal as you interrupted us. Luckily the first portal is near the castle, basically in front of the hedge maze." Applejack said. "Alright, let's go then!" Discord shouted. I rolled my eyes at Discord's enthusiasm as we walked out the castle to find the portal in the hedge maze. We got to the maze, and like Applejack said, the portal sitting right in front of the hedge maze, it was blue with white flowing in a circle. Although the coloring could be my imagination, but it does look familiar. We walked up to it as the simmering surface revealed a green and dark green checkerboard pattern with palm trees and animal looking robots. My mind was racing and I had a smile on my face as I recognized the pattern of the landscape. "What is that?" Fluttershy asked, while I looked at Suski as he knew the place as well, everyone else, no idea. "Well Fluttershy, Suski and I know this place very well, plus we will meet some new friends who have the passion to save the world and one of them is just like Rainbow Dash, but a little bit different. I think you will instantly love them." I answered her. "If this friend is just like me, I bet he's not as fast." Rainbow said while showing her muscles. I shook my head, "Oh I think this 'friend' is much faster than you think Rainbow, even I have seen his speed. He once ran all the way to one of the oceans in his world and then ran back across the whole world in under 5 seconds when at full force." When I said this, everyone was in shock at what speed this creature can go, even Rainbow almost fainted, but luckily kept her composure. "Not even I can go that fast! How would that guy be able run that fast without burning his legs off?!" She protested. "You'll see soon enough. Come on!" I shouted as I ran toward the portal and jumped in and disappeared while Suski followed behind. "Alright girls, let's just hop in and find this 'friend' he's talking about." Dash said while hovering along side Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Fluttershy, and Rainbow as they all ran or flew into the portal along with Discord who stood by, making sure the portal stays open for them to get back. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=OEboG4LnUBITo see this place was a vacation for the girls including the other Princesses. They could see ocean for miles to the east side along with grass and plenty of animals to see, which made Fluttershy all excited. I was running side by side with Suski with our hands dangling behind us to reduce wind resistance to go faster. We were all dodging obstacles left and right, and I told the girls to smash any robot they could find, and Rainbow and Applejack were betting who could smash the most. Rainbow obviously won because of her speed and agility, while Applejack was fairly close. We neared a cliffside as we stopped in front of it to see a battlefield with many robots and cages that housed the heroes of this world, the Freedom Fighters. The blue hedgehog was constantly running on a hamster wheel that kept him from running away. The others were locked up in cages with their most precious items or abilities hindered because of the shackles they were wearing. "Oh those poor creatures, are those the friends you were talking about?" Fluttershy asked me. "Yes, the blue one is named Sonic, the fastest thing alive on this world, the yellow two-tailed fox is named Tails, he's a master genius and Sonic's best friend, Sonic literally treats him like a brother. The chipmunk is named Sally Acorn, she's the heir to the throne of Prince Acorn and the brains of the group. The pink hedgehog is named Amy, she's Sonic's fangirl and wields a very powerful hammer. The red echidna is called Knuckles, the brawler and the strongest fighter here, but does have a little problem with his brain and has anger issues, he has gotten over them, but he still has them." I explained. "So, who is that?" Shining asked, eyeing the human. The human in question was non other than, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, or Dr. Eggman, he is depicted as being rotund in appearance. He possesses a dome-shaped head and no visible neck, a bald head, a bright red nose, and a very bushy mahogany moustache. Wearing red-black-yellow clothing, combined with a black onesie. "That my friends, is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, or Dr. Eggman, the arch-nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog. He's notorious for trying to take over world and trying to build his Eggman Empire. Although he has made many inventions and accomplished many goals in his life, he will always be thwarted by the Freedom Fighters." I answered. "We need to get in there without being noticeable." Twilight said. My eyes widened with an idea. I came up to Suski's left ear ear and whispered something that no one else heard. Applejack asked, "Alright, what are you two nutcases whisperin' about?" Both Suski and I looked as we smirked. I came up with the idea of actually transforming into hedgehogs ourselves. Suski volunteered to help me out with the plan while Rainbow and the Princesses will distract Eggman and lead him away from the battlefield. I transformed into a hedgehog mostly with a red coat and green stripes or palette for my spines, with my shoes being blue still, but with a ring attached with a couple of whites around the edges. Suski looked exactly like me, but with a blue coat and white palette for the stripes, and his shoes being purple instead of blue and red around the edges. The girls looked at us with Rarity saying, "You two look great, I might need to figure out how to make clothing for these type of animals." "We will figure that out later Rarity, Princesses and Dash, get Eggman away from here." I told them. The Princesses nodded their heads and flew ahead while Rainbow saluted and followed them. The girls all had their game faces on and we waited for the signal. 1st POV: Sonic Eggman was laughing his heart over the defeat of his spiny blue pest named Sonic, that would be me, as I growled as I'm still running, I have to keep doing it or I will suffer the consequences, as he built something that turned my speed against me, lacing it with high explosives' if I stopped running. As for everyone else, they were all worried about me not being able last much longer, even Tails was worried, he has seen me passing out before and hopefully I can keep this up. Suddenly, a blue rainbow blur blew past Eggman's right side as his flying saucer was sent spinning, he stopped spinning and screamed, "What in the world?!" The rest of the group were speechless, the only person who could go that fast was me, who was this person. More like what was this person, because it's not even a person, it's a cyan blue pony with Rainbow hair as she shouted, "Hey, Eggman, you want to pick a fight with somepony, you can fight me and my rulers!" As she said that, three new ponies showed up behind her, flying in tandem, two of them were significantly taller than the rest of us, with the third one being slightly smaller, one being midnight blue, and the other pure white, the last one was pink and they had wings, but the rainbowed hair one didn't have a horn on it's head. "What are you? That doesn't matter, you want to fight, fine, be my guest." Eggman scowled. "Were not fighting here as to not get them into the crossfire in our fight, Eggman." The white one said as she pointed at us. "Alright, follow me to your demise!" He shouted as he flew away along with other bots following him. The rainbow one said, "Stay right here everypony, will get this Eggman for ya, while my friends help you get out." She flew past us with speed that could match me, but I doubt it, but the group didn't know what to think. Knuckles was dumbfounded, "Did that pony just talk and told us to stay put?" Sally facepalmed, "Were talking animals Knuckles, I don't think a talking pony is any weirder." Knuckles tried to say something, but said nothing, meaning he knew she was right, he spoke a few moments later, "Ok, but she said her 'friends' will come get us. What does that mean?" "She's talking about us." A voice carried over. We all turned to see more ponies, colors mostly in rainbow being purple, white, orange, yellow, and pink, with a little green and purple baby lizard on the back of the purple one. The other two looked just like Shadow but had different colored shoes, fur, and stripes on the spines. The robots that were guarding us were alerted and stood for battle, while the red hedgehog said, "Everyone, you keep them busy, while we destroy the cages and machine that holds them." They all nodded their heads and started fighting the robots with good combos and serious teamwork. The white one was named Rarity as she teamed up with Twilight Sparkle as they started blasting the Badniks apart, Rarity looked disgusted about the detail on the robots, "Although they are good looking, I have to say they're definitely not my style, especially if they are meant harm innocent little creatures such as those birds and piglets." She said. I said, "Hey, if it makes you happier or angrier, I don't know, those robots are called Badniks and house the animals you were talking about. I smashed them plenty of times to ensure they're safety, but now it's been little less troubling because Eggman found a way to use them without using the animals." Rarity looked at me while blasting a ray of magic behind her to destroy another Badnik, which I learned from my adventures, as she asked, "How are you holding up? I heard from a friend of mine that you could run very fast, but every now and then you have to take a break." "I've been better, but not for long. I can't keep this up, and if I stop, a bomb will go off that will destroy everything in this area." I answered. "Well, this Eggman fella doesn't seem like to be a charming individual." She explained. "No kidding." I said while I was keep running. The red hedgehog came up to the console and saw the controls of the machine. He messed with some buttons and saw 'Access Denied' on the screen flashing red. "Hey, if it helps you, Eggman said something about a password named, 'Sonic' something." I told him. The hedgehog gave me the 'seriously' kind of look and typed in 'Sonic is a pest' and gained access. I had the same type of look he had as he looked at me smirking. He pushed some more buttons and a panel opened up in front of him. He grabbed the components from inside and the bomb made a loud whining noise, which was getting slower and slower, as it died, the machine gave off a loud puff of steam which signaled that it had been shut down. I stopped running to catch my breath as I saw the rainbow one came up to me and hold out it's hoof to me, I grabbed it and pulled myself up to see the taller of the ponies standing near the cages and using it's magic to release everyone. "I definitely need to stop messing with something that's out of my power." I asked the big white one, "Where is Eggman?" "We tried as hard we could, but he soon knew our plan and went back here, thankfully my teleportation got here faster than he did." She said. "So, as we wait for him to get back, can you please introduce yourselves so we introduce ourselves as well." The yellow pony said to me. "Well my name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog." I said while giving thumbs up. "My name is Miles Tails Prower, but everyone calls me Tails." Tails said. "Hello, my name is Sally Acorn." Sally said as she bows. "My name is Knuckles, enough said." Knuckles said while looking away. "At least be nice, I could tell the taller ones were royalty because of their crowns and they seem more powerful than the other ponies." I told him. "Alright." He grumbled. "Hi, my name is Amy Rose." Amy said as she bow in a kirtsie. I smiled as I looked at the two hedghogs and asked, "Who are you two?" "Well, my name is Brian Oliver, or Brian the Hedgehog for that matter. This is my evil counterpart and don't worry he's not evil if your thinking that, anyways, this is Vernex the Hedgehog or Suski Kamuthi or Evil Brian, whichever you prefer." I answered. "Hello." Suski greeted. I looked at the ponies as they stepped up and the purple one said, "Well, my name is Princess Twilight Sparkle, or Twilight and this is my assistant Spike the dragon." "Hello everyone!" Spike screamed. "Hi, I'm Fluttershy the animal caretaker." Fluttershy said in her quiet voice. "My name is Rarity, darlings, I work at the Carousel Boutique because fashion is my calling." Rarity said. "Hi my name is Pinkie Pie and the best party pony you can ask for!" Pinkie said cheerfully. "Howdy partner, my name is Applejack, my friends usually call me AJ for short and I'm the farmer on Sweet Apple Acres, we have the Bettermost apples you have ever dreamed of." Applejack said in a western accent. The one wearing the armor came up and said, "Nice to meet you, I'm Shining Armor, Twilight's brother and husband to her foalsitter Princess Cadance." Princess Cadance waved her hoof. I saluted him to show a sign of respect along with Tails as he saluted back. The taller regal pony came up to me and said, "I am Princess Celestia and this is my younger sister Princess Luna." Luna walked beside her sister and gave a smile. I went down on one knee and lowered my head in a knight's position. Celestia and Luna didn't expect this, but Brian did somehow, "Well, if you must know Princess, like I said I know a lot and from what I've learned, Sonic here have been experienced with magic before as he was sucked into a book of the Knights of the Round Table, although King Arthur is the evil of the story, Sonic is actually the true King Arthur as in the king of the knights." Brian smiled. I sheepishly smiled as I raised to see my friends also bowing their heads to show a sign of respect. I looked at Brian and asked, "How did you know that?" He smiled, "It's a secret." He puts his index finger to his lips to be quiet. I definitely know not to mess with a specific timeline, if you change one thing, it could mess up the entire thing completely. My ear twitched at the sound of buzzing as I looked behind me to see Eggman flying in his machine by himself. I smiled that he could handle such powerful magic ponies. His eyes twitched to see all of us standing here unaffected by the machine. "How did you escape my traps?!" He screamed. Brian came beside me and answered, "Well if you must know Egghead, we managed to disable the bomb connected to Sonic's running wheel and blasted your robots apart." His entire face was boiling red as steam started shooting out of his ears as he screamed his heart out. He stopped as he smirked and pressed a button that made a loud noise as the ground started shaking. A huge explosion came from behind us to see a giant hawk like robot that I was not amused about. "Really Eggman, the Egg Hawk? Isn't that just old school and we defeated it already. Can you just make it harder for us?" I asked smirking. "Come on Sonic, you know as well as I do that I will not forget my mission of making my Eggman Empire, and you're not going to stop me!" He shouted. "Believe it Eggman, we stopped you once before and we can do it again. And we have new friends to back us up. You ready Brian?" He got into a low stance to shoot off. I mimicked his position and said, "You don't have to say anything, I'm ready."
Vs Dr. Eggman and Splitting Up: Chapter 31st POV: Me When I saw the Egg Hawk I internally laughed at the Doctor's stupidity, I mean the circuitry and electronics hidden inside the machine are just poorly designed, and this is one of his more powerful machines. It was very lackluster and not even close to the technology I can create in my fantasy world, and plus I’m probably as smart or even smarter than him. I shook my head in disappointment and tried my hardest to not roll my eyes and stated, “Man, if I were to give your little machine there Eggman, I would give it a 10...” I prolonged for Eggman to grin while everyone else was glaring at me. “Why thank you strange hedgehog, I think I’m starting to like you. You know for being so smart, I believe that I could at least get a-” He stopped because I interrupted with, “-out of 1000.” Everyone stared at me and then started to laugh uncontrollable, what's even funnier is that it really made Eggman fume in his mech, whining like a little baby, even puffs of steam came out of the ears of the robot if it has any. “YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT YOU LITTLE RODENT!!!” He screamed. He fired off a couple of missiles at us. Everyone except Sonic, Vernex, and myself dodged all the missiles with their respective attributes like magic shields or any other ways to defend themselves. A missile was headed straight for Rarity as she was distracted from all of the explosions and I yelled, "RARITY, LOOKOUT!" I rushed towards her. Rarity gasped and closed her eyes and waited for the inevitable explosion. It never came... Rarity opened her eyes and saw a large cloud of smoke in front of her, she could see an outline of a large being inside the smoke. Whatever this being was, it protected her. Rarity glanced over to the being that saved her but froze upon laying eye contact with it. She was looking at me, but I transformed into my werewolf form. While my shirt has exploded off from the bulge of muscle, the pay off was worth it. I was at least 7 foot 9-10, the fur that covered my muscle-bound body was silvery dark blue with patches of blue on my face. Speaking of face, a long muzzle stretched out from my face that had razor-sharp teeth and my eyes are midnight blue with the pupils being a slit, just like snakes. My legs bended awkwardly to form massive three toed wolf-like feet while my arms grew longer to form massive claws. I breathed in and let out a huge roar that caused a massive shockwave that knocked everyone except Vernex on their butts. Rarity looked at me and stuttered, "B-B-Brian, i-is that y-you?" I looked a Rarity with a smile, "Yes Rarity, it's me." My voice changed into a much deeper and dark tone with a bit of rasp in it. Everyone's eyes were wide, well except for Vernex as he smiled upon my transformation. "Well, are you going to join me, Brother?" I asked Vernex. He chuckled, "Of course." His body glowed brightly and became smaller and smaller until he changed into a ball of light and floated towards me. He seeped into my chest as I breathed in to feel my power increase dramatically. I turned around to see Eggman's face full of fear. I laughed, "Ah man, Eggman, if only you could see your face right now. Believe me, I would feel the same way if I could see myself. Besides, I think your the 100th person to see me like this. So great job!" Fluttershy ran up to me and hugged me, but she only came up to my knees so she was trying to hug me which she was failing laughably. "Oh, you are so cute! While you may look scary, you are so fluffy!" She yelled inside my fur. I smiled and gave Fluttershy a pat on the head, "Thanks Fluttershy, you are one of the few people or ponies who call me cute. One of them happens to be my girlfriend." Celestia came out of her shocked state and said, "You have a girlfriend? I'm actually shocked your here without her, won't she miss you?" I looked at Celestia, "Actually, she is much of an adventurer as I am, plus I got two daughters waiting for me, but she knows that I do this type of hero work for a living, and believe it or not, I am actually over 1,000 years old." Everyone gasped including Eggman, who was currently staring wide eyes at me, he composed himself and stated, "Even if you are a werewolf of lore, YOU WON'T STOP ME FROM CONQUERING MOBIUS, ALONG WITH THEIR WORLD! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA!" He almost choked on his own laugh. I closed my eyes and transformed back into my hedgehog form and chuckled, "Well, we won't let that happen." I closed my eyes once more, feeling the energy around me, absorbing it into my body. As soon as I opened up my eyes, my hands lit up in flames. I shouted, "CHAOS BOOST!" I glowed an ethereal golden orange as my fur changed into a light orange with my spines changing into a aqua color, a orange aura surrounded me, I smirked, "It's time I showed you that Shadow isn't the only Chaos powered being in this world." Everyone else got into battle positions beside me, charging up with their respective abilities. Eggman shouted, "ATTAAAACK!!!" All of his remaining Badniks charged forward in groups, while me and my friends charged forward, intercepting them. Once when were close enough, Shadow and I charged up and threw sparks of Chaos powered fireballs, exploding a group of Motobugs. Sonic and Amy teamed up, Amy swinging her hammer at Sonic in his ball form, destroying Badniks in front of them, then with one last hard swing, Sonic boosted forward for more speed sand strength, crashing right into 5 more Badniks. The Mane 6 grouped up, with Shining Armor and Cadance helping out Twilight and Rarity, while Celestia and Luna helped out Knuckles and Tails. Magical beams were being casted left and right, kicking, punching, bashing, and crushing were heard all throughout the battle. I saw opportunity to show off my Chaos powers, I crouched down with flames surrounding me, everyone else watched on from afar, Shadow smirking in anticipation. I jumped up high into the air, disappearing into three small fireballs, then reappearing when the fireballs combined, with my back turned towards the ground and a smile on my face, I shouted my technique, "CHAOS..." With the power over fire, I used my flames as thrusters through my hands, and sped towards the ground in stylish fashion, then shouting the other half of the technique, "INFERNO!" With an explosion of flames, I struck the ground hard and every single Badnik that was in the crossfire was burned beyond repair. I looked up at Eggman, keeping my smile on at all times throughout my power display. Eggman was shocked, but then gritted his teeth, "ONE DAY, I WILL GET YOU, YOU RODENT!!! I WILL FIND THEIR WORLD AND CONQUER IT, BOTH WORLDS WILL BE REMADE IN MY IMAGE! YOU'LL SEE! UNTIL NEXT TIME, RODENT!" After that long screaming fit, he fired up the Egg Hawk and flew away, and here I thought he was gonna use it, but I guess not. Discord sat impatiently playing some type of device that shouldn't exist in his world. He kept his eye on the portal as it shimmered, then me and the Mane 6 plus Shining, Cadance, Celestia, Luna, and the Freedom Fighters popped out, landing on the ground. Discord smiled, "Ah, your back, so, how did it go?" I gave back a smile, "Went off without a hitch!" I transformed back to normal as we went through the portal. The rest of the Freedom Fighters stayed behind just in case old Egghead decided to come back. Sonic and Shadow came with us for some extra power and allies. Celestia suggested that the princesses should go back to their duties while rest of us deal with the portals. I agreed with her as she and rest of princesses have jobs, Shining decided to stick around for a while just for Twilight's safety and the fact it is always good to have more hands or hooves on deck. "Well then, let's get rolling towards that next portal." I said. "Right, let's move." Shadow stated while getting a head start. All of us ran after him in an effort to catch up, but what adventure awaits us through this next portal, who knows?
