He summons his Stand which has changed and punches a glass wall before eventually punching through it.) I woke up, cracking my my joints in my body. It was a school day unfortunately for me, Year 7 wasn't a much as a hell as I thought it would be. Exiting my room, I walked to my kitchen to eat my breakfast and make my lunch. It was 6:50, I had about 45 minutes to get ready and catch the bus. Realisation flashed on my face as pored myself Frosties, it was my birthday Valentines Day, today I was officially 12 years old. Finishing my breakfast, I started getting my school clothes on (not before applying deodorant.) checking the time again I found it was 7:00 so to burn some time, I opened Soundcloud and sang long to Sono Chi No Kioku ~ End of the World, my favourite JoJo OP (opening). 7:40 I stood at the bus stop, reading fanfiction online as I usually do Until the number 11 appeared. Readying my bus pass I step up onto the bus, uttering a "Thank you." to the driver. I exited the vehicle at my stop, again uttering the same "Thank You." 15:21 As I entered my home, noticed a note on the fridge "Gone to town, be back at 8:00 and you can open your presents! -Mum I opened the presents with enthusiasm and was surprised by what they were. The Requiem Arrow, Jotaro's Clothes (they even got the chain right.) and a Sword with "Anubis" engraved in it,other than that it was almost identical to the stand Anubis, although I was blunt. After sheathing the weapon, I felt oddly tired, well I had been up particularly late that night. Complying with my body's fatigue, I undressed, putting my school clothes in my closet, practically falling down the bed and promptly fell asleep. Groaning, I lifted my head from position on the ground and I immediately noticed that I was no longer in my room and in a dank forest. I also noticed that I was wearing Jotaro's Clothing, along with my phone which was in a hidden pocket. I reached in into the pocket, failing to realise what else was in there until grazed it, The Requiem Arrow had somehow scratched me even though It was supposed to be blunt. I finally got my phone out, checking the service. Unluckily for me, there was none. Out of options, I picked up Anubis and started walking in a direction, hoping to get out of this place. After twenty minutes of straight walking, I heard a shout "Somepony help me!" the voice screamed. Somepony? I must had heard that wrong. Drawing Anubis, sprinted towards the voice at full speed, that is, until saw what, or rather who that voice belonged to. Cornered by what I had identified as a pack of timber wolves (five to be precise) was Sweetie Belle. From behind, I cut down one of the five, killing it instantly. The four remaining growled at me menacingly. "If you want to die, come at me!" I bellowed with all my might. They got the message and fled, likely wanting to live. Before Sweetie reacted I simply stated "Do you know where I can find the nearest town?" I questioned. "Y-You're not going to hurt me, are you?" she responded, this got awkward faster than a Sonic Rainboom. "No, why would I do that?" I countered, she smiled at me. "In that case I'll take you back to Ponyville with me Mister... Uhh what is your name?" she inquired. "I'm Tierique, Tierique Stapleton nice to meet you." The walk (or trot in Sweetie's case) didn't take particularly long, we talked about ourselves long the way(she told me that she had been in the Everfree Forest because she was dared to). I didn't know why but I felt like I had a high fever. I made me think, if Anubis had become a real sword, what if The Requiem Arrow was real as well? . It was a possibility, given how bizarre this already was. Believing that I could be a Stand User, I focused on my emotions when I killed the timber wolf as remembered how to summon a Stand. Much to my annoyance it hadn't worked, I groaned in frustration, guess it would take longer than I expected for it to manifest, well, assuming that The Arrow was real. We had reached the end of the forest, Poniville was just a few hundred metres away. As we made our way down the town(which was decorated, as if for a celebration) , I got stared at by the locals, probably suspicious of me. "Sweetie Belle, they're all staring at me." I voiced my concerns. "Don't worry about it Tierique, they've just never seen you before, and by the way, are you okay? Still got a fever?" she asked, concerned. "I'm better than I was earlier, and by the way, what's with the decorations?" I asked. "It's for the One Thousandth Summer Sun Celebration! The Princess will raise the sun and lower the moon right here in Ponyville!" The One Thousandth Summer Sun Celebration, so I must have arrived here at the start of Season 1. I now knew that I would see Nightmare Moon today, That was worrying... Ah! How could I forget! "I forgot to ask but, where are we go-" just as I was finishing my sentence, I felt water drench me from above. I looked up, seeing a certain pegasus. "Sorry about that! Didn't see ya there!" Rainbow Dash called out apologetically. "Want me to dry you off?"... That sounded sowrong. "Definitely, considering that you're the one who did this." I replied somewhat angrily. She descended to my height and began spinning around me, my wet clothes blowing in the intense winds she was creating (I had to hold on to my hat, lest it blew away). I just a few seconds I was dry, albeit a bit dizzy from being spun around like that. Once I had gotten my composure back, she asked me a simple question. "What and who exactly are you?" I chuckled at the question before posing dramatically. "Yare Yare Daze" I uttered "Tierique Stapleton, a human, at your service!" the two deadpaned at my shenanigans. "That was unnecessary." Rainbow said, certainly fazed by me. Not wanting to be delayed any longer, we said our goodbyes and continued on and before we knew it, we were there, Carousel Boutique. Sweetie trotted ahead, clearly nervous about something, rapping on the door thrice. The clopping of hoofs could be heard from behind the door until they stopped suddenly before the door opened to reveal a stressed Rarity in the doorway. "Sweetie Belle! Where have you been, I was looking for you after finishing in the town hall!" she shouted disappointed in her. Before she spoke again, she noticed me watching the scene unfold "And just what hideous creature did you bring with you!" Annoyed by her insult, I responded with "1. I have a name, it's Tierique. 2. Have you looked in the mirror recently, you look like a mess! And thirdly, you shouldn't insult a human because chances are, they're better than you at doing it." i countered, annoyed by her attitude towards me. "Why you litt-" "Guess I'll be leaving now, thanks for leading me to Ponyville from the Everfree Forest, Sweetie Belle." I turned around and started walking away that is, until she spoke to me again "*Sigh*... I sorry for calling you that as long as take what you said back." "Agreed." I stated satisfied. "What was that you said about the Everfree Forest?" I knew this was gonna be a long ride. After explaining for 10 minutes straight, she offered to let me live here for saving Sweetie Belle, which I thanked her for. I wonder where Twilight is? I hadn't seen her yet even though she should be here. Several hours later nighttime. I stood in the town hall awaiting the inevitable, Celestia was no longer there and in her place was Nightmare Moon... To Be Continued... Author's Note Just to be clear, this isn't a variation of the displayed format, Tierique didn't become Jotaro. Also make sure to leave comments, like and leave criticism!

He summons his Stand which has changed and punches a glass wall before eventually punching through it.) I stared at the Mare In The Moon. She hadn’t noticed me, at least not yet anyway. “Oh, my beloved subjects, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen your precious little sun-loving faces.” she said “What did you do to the Princess!” Rainbow Dash demanded. She tried to fly towards her before being held back by Applejack. “Woah nelly!” she exclaimed, although slightly muffled. Nightmare chuckled “Oh, my subjects, don’t you recognise me? Can any of you tell me my name?” Pinky Pie grinned excitedly “Oh! Is it Soot Mare? No, Mist Mane! Wait... Wrong pony. Uh Puc-” Before she say anything else, Applejack silenced her with an apple she had tucked under her hat. “I do! You’re the Mare In The Moon, Nightmare Moon!” Twilight Sparkle declared! Gasps echoed around the room. Everyone realised what danger they were in. I decided to make my self known. “Hey Nightmare!” She looked at me with curiosity. “Oh? And who might you be?” she eyed me suspiciously. Why do feel like I’m going to regret this? “I’m Tierique, and I’m going to beat you!” I drew Anubis as watched her carefully, looking for any sudden movement. “Do you really think that you can beat a goddess!?” she retaliated. She aimed her horn towards me as her ‘mist’ raced towards me. It was too fast to dodge! As I raised Anubis in defence, name came to mind. Backed into a corner (figuratively speaking), called out the name. " 『End of the World! 』” The mist had parted around me as figure that I could only identify as a Stand, although it wasn’t one I recognised. The Stand was a Pony with wings and horn, it’s coat was a brilliant orange , the left wing was light blue and its left, yellow, its tail and mane was dark pink and unkempt and the horn in the middle of its forehead was both purple and white. It was about 4”5, whilst I was 5”3. “Pass me that sword of yours and hop on.” My stand spoke to me in a feminine voice. After experiencing everything I did today, it speaking didn’t surprise me. Complying with their (her?) command, I mounted her and gave her Anubis, her horn lit as she held it in a grip of wind beside us. “Hold my mane if you need to, hold on tight!” Following her advice, we took off at great speed towards Nightmare and before she could react, End of the World slugged her in the face sending back few meters. “MUDA! (無駄！)” She cried as she punched Nightmare Moon. I swore I saw blood trickle down her nose. “How dare you attack royalty! And how are you flying without wings?!” she spat. Good, she’s not a Stand User then. Nightmare morphed into mist and retreated to the Everfree Forest. “After her!” I heard Mayor Mare order the guard and I heard more flapping wings behind me. “So, do you want to come with me?” I asked them as they flew past me. They observed me suspiciously, likey confused about my ‘ability’ to fly. “Aa much we could use your abilities to help us, you are still a civilian. " One of them responded with a neutral expression. “Just don’t get yourselves killed, okay.” I seems like they don’t now how much danger they were in. I watched them disappear past the edge of the forest and also saw six mares enter the forest moments later. “Let’s watch the Mane 6 and make sure nothing bad happens to them.” I told 『End of the World』 quietly. Moving at a much slower pace, we tailed them and made sure I wasn’t seen. An Hour Later We watched as the Mane 6 entered The Castle of the Two Sisters and into the room containing the Elements of Harmony. We viewed them from a distance, they had assembled the Elements together and had Twilight make the sixth appear. The others left the room to help Twilight focus on igniting the spark. Suddenly, a ghostly mist swirled around the Elements and for a split second she opened her eyes but it was too late she was swept into the tornado before vanishing in a flash of light. The spire nearby flashed with light, drawing my attention to it. Still riding 『End of the World 』, we flew over to the spire ready to finally face Nightmare Moon. I touched base next to Twilight who jumped slightly at my sudden appearance . "Did you forget about me Nightmare?" I taunted. "Were you following us?" Twilight asked. "That's not important right now, we need to get the Elements before she destroys them! I'll Distract her while you get the Elements, now let's charge!" I whispered to her. I grabbed Anubis and with 『End of the World』's help, launched towards Nightmare Moon ready to swing. However, she anticipated my attack and sidestepped. I then bounced back off the wall to strike again, but I only grazed her face. As we fought, Twilight had cast a spell on the Elements. Nightmare Moon noticed what she was doing and immediately teleported in front of Twilight and kicked her several meters back, winding her. Elements of Harmony were glowing, sparks connecting them, before it seemingly shut off. "But where's the sixth Element?" she asked deeply confused. Nightmare Moon laughed evilly and slammed her hooves down, shattering the Elements of Harmony into shards. "You little foals, thinking that you could defeat me. You'll never see the sun or your princess again, the night will last forever!" she laughed maniacally. Just then, we heard Twilight's friends calling her, Twilight gasped in realisation, she knew how to make the last Element appear. "Did you really think that you could destroy the Elements just like that?" "Yare Yare, it doesn't take genius to figure it out" "Well you're wrong! The spirits of the Elements are right here!" The shattered Elements started to react to our words. "Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the Element of Honesty!" "Fluttershy, who tamed a manticore with her compassion, represents the Element of Kindness!" "Pinke Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the Element of Laughter!" "Rarity, who calmed a serpent with a meaningful gift, represents the Element of Generosity!" "And Rainbow Dash, who couldn't abandone her friends for her own heart's desires, represents the Element of Loyalty!" "The spirits of these five ponies got us through all of your challenges." she declared "But you still haven't got the sixth Element, the spark didn't work!" she said triumphant "But it did! A different kind of spark!" She turned to her friends. "I felt it the very moment I realised how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realised that you were all... " she turned back to Nightmare Moon. "My friends!" The sixth Element appeared above us. "You see, Nightmare Moon, when these five Elements come together and are ignited by the spark, inside us all it creates the sixth Element, The Element of Magic!" The Elements of Harmony began to shine intensely, the shattered remains of each respective Element fused together into necklaces on their bearers whilst Magic became a crown. Twilight floated towards the other Elements and a rainbow of magic crashed down on Nightmare Moon and everything went white. To Be Continued... Author's Note Remember to like and comment!

He summons his Stand which has changed and punches a glass wall before eventually punching through it.) I woke up after the Element of Harmony were set off, face flat against the ground. As I got up I heard several other groans behind me. “Is everypony alright?” Applejack said. There were several murmurs of confirmation from the ponies. A bright light shun out of the broken window as the sun rose as if by magic. The bright light disappeared to reveal the Princess her self, Princess Celestia. Five of the six mare bowed to her and Twilight looked on with a smile on her face. “Princess Celestia!” she practically squealed with happiness. “Twilight, my most faithful student. I knew you could do it.” she nuzzled Twilight affectionately. “But you told that it was an old ponies tale.” she questioned her mentor. “I told you to make some friends Twilight, nothing more. I saw the signs of her return and I knew that you had the magic inside you, you just needed true friendship to let it out, if only another did the same, Princess Luna.” she drew everyone’s attention to the pony on the floor. “It’s time to put our differences aside sister, we were meant to rule together.” she said sadly “Sister?!” they exclaimed, not knowing that information. Celestia carried on. “Will you accept my friendship?” she asked Luna. She looked conflicted for a few moments before embracing her sister. “Yes sister! I wish I never had left you!” she cried with happiness. We looked on at the scene, it was quite heartwarming to see. Five Minutes Later... “Now, young one, who are you and what do my little ponies mean by ‘Special Powers’?” Celestia asked me with a neutral expression. “My name is Tierique Stapleton, Princess Celestia, and they were referring to my Stand.” I explained to her, she looked at me curiously. “What exactly is a ‘Stand’ as you put it?” This was going to be a very long discussion, wasn’t it? “Stands are manifestations of someone’s soul, they come in many shape sizes, only a few have them naturally and they can only be seen by Stand Users like me. The most common types of Stand are short range and long range Stands. Every Stand has at least one ability and some of them are very powerful like stopping time or rewinding time whilst others are weak under normal circumstances. Stands are also named after songs, bands and albums. If you aren’t born with a Stand you’d have to use one of these-” I carefully pulled The Requiem Arrow from my pocket to show her.” -Stand Arrows, oh! Do you have a question?” I asked her. “How do these ‘Stand Arrows’ work exactly?” she inquired. “Simple, you cut yourself on it, wait out a fever that lasts a few hours and then you summon your Stand! It’s really that simple to do.” I answered. She hummed to herself thinking about something. “Could you show me your Stand’s Ability, Tierique?” she asked in a soothing tone. I gave her a nod before summoning my Stand. “『End of the World 』!” I called out as my Stand manifested in front of me. I focused on the air around my legs, imagining it ‘moving up’ as I started to float in mid-air. “My Stand can manipulate fire, water, air, earth and lightning. It cannot create them and she can only manipulate one at a time.” I explained. “Now that’s out of the way, I want to know, what are your plans here in Equestria?” she inquired. “Get a place to live, go to school and generally live a good life.” I replied nonchalantly. She giggled a little. “I’ll see what I can do.” she answered with a smile. Two Days Later Celestia was able to get me my house and got me into Ponyville School in a very short period of time. She also said that she would give me an allowance of 75 bits a week as thank for helping save her sister(she had already paid full price for the house). I had gone shopping yesterday for school supplies and food. I made lunch the same day so I wouldn’t have to today. I had about fifteen minutes to get to school! Wearing my new backpack I had bought full of school supplies, I flew as fast as I could, remembering route I needed to take to get there. I took me about five minutes to get to the schoolhouse thanks to 『End of the World 』. I noticed a distinct lack of ponies around the school area. Maybe they’re inside? I thought to myself. Just as I was going to enter, Miss Cheerlie walked out. “Oh! Good morning Tierique, you got here just in time to introduce yourself to your new class, follow me!” she told cheerfully heh heh cheerfully . It didn’t take us long to reach my class. Miss Cheerlie left me just outside the class and told me to come in when she signaled to me through the open door. “Attention class!” Everyone ceased their conversations and paid attention to Miss Cheerlie. “Today we have a new student joining us, he may different to us but want you to accept him all the same.” she then signaled to me, indicating that I should enter. The foals gave me many odd looks, ones of curiosity, fear, indifference and bewilderment. “Sup everyone! I’m Tierique the new student.” I introduced myself. “You’re the creature that helped defeat Nightmare Moon!” A colt called out. “That’s correct! Where’d you hear that?” I asked, curious myself. “You’re in the Ponyville Newspaper! ‘Strange creature with strange powers helps defeat Nightmare Moon.’” Well this news for me. “Huh, neat. So does anyone else have a question?” I asked the class. A certain white filly raised her hoof. “Do humans get cutie marks?” Sweetie Belle asked. “No, humans don’t have cutie marks.” I confirmed “Then how do you know what you’re good at without one?” she questioned “Simple, we don’t. Instead we usually get jobs that appeals us when they’re available. Heck, if anything, it’s a good thing we don’t, just give us more options.” I answered. “Hah! You’re a blank-flank for life!” a certain filly mocked. “Diamond Tiara! Don’t be rude!” Miss Cheerlie scolded her. “You do realise that I don’t care, right?” I countered Diamond Tiara. She sputtered for a moment but couldn’t think of something clever to say. There was one other colt that held his hoof up. “What are your strange abilities?” The colt questioned. The colt had a messy light blue mane that faded to black at the ends, a short horn, a light blue tail that faded to a forest green at the ends, black irises and a ruby-red coat. “It’s called a ‘Stand’, all ‘Stands’ are unique to their users and invisible to non-stand users.” Even though they aren’t stand users, I summoned 『End of the World 』anyway. However, to my surprise, the colt who asked the question reacted to her. “Is that your Stand?” he pointed to my Stand. “The fact that you can see it... Then, you’re proof that Natural Stand Users exist!” I excitedly exclaimed. “’Natural Stand User?” he inquired. “Uhh, I’ll tell you later, that’s enough questions for now.” I said sheepishly. I took the desk next to him. “Oh yeah! I forgot to ask but, what’s your name?” I asked him. “Frostbrand, Starstorm Frostbrand.” To Be Continued...

He summons his Stand which has changed and punches a glass wall before eventually punching through it.) I woke up, cracking my my joints in my body. It was a school day unfortunately for me, Year 7 wasn't a much as a hell as I thought it would be. Exiting my room, I walked to my kitchen to eat my breakfast and make my lunch. It was 6:50, I had about 45 minutes to get ready and catch the bus. Realisation flashed on my face as pored myself Frosties, it was my birthday Valentines Day, today I was officially 12 years old. Finishing my breakfast, I started getting my school clothes on (not before applying deodorant.) checking the time again I found it was 7:00 so to burn some time, I opened Soundcloud and sang long to Sono Chi No Kioku ~ End of the World, my favourite JoJo OP (opening). 7:40 I stood at the bus stop, reading fanfiction online as I usually do Until the number 11 appeared. Readying my bus pass I step up onto the bus, uttering a "Thank you." to the driver. I exited the vehicle at my stop, again uttering the same "Thank You." 15:21 As I entered my home, noticed a note on the fridge "Gone to town, be back at 8:00 and you can open your presents! -Mum I opened the presents with enthusiasm and was surprised by what they were. The Requiem Arrow, Jotaro's Clothes (they even got the chain right.) and a Sword with "Anubis" engraved in it,other than that it was almost identical to the stand Anubis, although I was blunt. After sheathing the weapon, I felt oddly tired, well I had been up particularly late that night. Complying with my body's fatigue, I undressed, putting my school clothes in my closet, practically falling down the bed and promptly fell asleep. Groaning, I lifted my head from position on the ground and I immediately noticed that I was no longer in my room and in a dank forest. I also noticed that I was wearing Jotaro's Clothing, along with my phone which was in a hidden pocket. I reached in into the pocket, failing to realise what else was in there until grazed it, The Requiem Arrow had somehow scratched me even though It was supposed to be blunt. I finally got my phone out, checking the service. Unluckily for me, there was none. Out of options, I picked up Anubis and started walking in a direction, hoping to get out of this place. After twenty minutes of straight walking, I heard a shout "Somepony help me!" the voice screamed. Somepony? I must had heard that wrong. Drawing Anubis, sprinted towards the voice at full speed, that is, until saw what, or rather who that voice belonged to. Cornered by what I had identified as a pack of timber wolves (five to be precise) was Sweetie Belle. From behind, I cut down one of the five, killing it instantly. The four remaining growled at me menacingly. "If you want to die, come at me!" I bellowed with all my might. They got the message and fled, likely wanting to live. Before Sweetie reacted I simply stated "Do you know where I can find the nearest town?" I questioned. "Y-You're not going to hurt me, are you?" she responded, this got awkward faster than a Sonic Rainboom. "No, why would I do that?" I countered, she smiled at me. "In that case I'll take you back to Ponyville with me Mister... Uhh what is your name?" she inquired. "I'm Tierique, Tierique Stapleton nice to meet you." The walk (or trot in Sweetie's case) didn't take particularly long, we talked about ourselves long the way(she told me that she had been in the Everfree Forest because she was dared to). I didn't know why but I felt like I had a high fever. I made me think, if Anubis had become a real sword, what if The Requiem Arrow was real as well? . It was a possibility, given how bizarre this already was. Believing that I could be a Stand User, I focused on my emotions when I killed the timber wolf as remembered how to summon a Stand. Much to my annoyance it hadn't worked, I groaned in frustration, guess it would take longer than I expected for it to manifest, well, assuming that The Arrow was real. We had reached the end of the forest, Poniville was just a few hundred metres away. As we made our way down the town(which was decorated, as if for a celebration) , I got stared at by the locals, probably suspicious of me. "Sweetie Belle, they're all staring at me." I voiced my concerns. "Don't worry about it Tierique, they've just never seen you before, and by the way, are you okay? Still got a fever?" she asked, concerned. "I'm better than I was earlier, and by the way, what's with the decorations?" I asked. "It's for the One Thousandth Summer Sun Celebration! The Princess will raise the sun and lower the moon right here in Ponyville!" The One Thousandth Summer Sun Celebration, so I must have arrived here at the start of Season 1. I now knew that I would see Nightmare Moon today, That was worrying... Ah! How could I forget! "I forgot to ask but, where are we go-" just as I was finishing my sentence, I felt water drench me from above. I looked up, seeing a certain pegasus. "Sorry about that! Didn't see ya there!" Rainbow Dash called out apologetically. "Want me to dry you off?"... That sounded sowrong. "Definitely, considering that you're the one who did this." I replied somewhat angrily. She descended to my height and began spinning around me, my wet clothes blowing in the intense winds she was creating (I had to hold on to my hat, lest it blew away). I just a few seconds I was dry, albeit a bit dizzy from being spun around like that. Once I had gotten my composure back, she asked me a simple question. "What and who exactly are you?" I chuckled at the question before posing dramatically. "Yare Yare Daze" I uttered "Tierique Stapleton, a human, at your service!" the two deadpaned at my shenanigans. "That was unnecessary." Rainbow said, certainly fazed by me. Not wanting to be delayed any longer, we said our goodbyes and continued on and before we knew it, we were there, Carousel Boutique. Sweetie trotted ahead, clearly nervous about something, rapping on the door thrice. The clopping of hoofs could be heard from behind the door until they stopped suddenly before the door opened to reveal a stressed Rarity in the doorway. "Sweetie Belle! Where have you been, I was looking for you after finishing in the town hall!" she shouted disappointed in her. Before she spoke again, she noticed me watching the scene unfold "And just what hideous creature did you bring with you!" Annoyed by her insult, I responded with "1. I have a name, it's Tierique. 2. Have you looked in the mirror recently, you look like a mess! And thirdly, you shouldn't insult a human because chances are, they're better than you at doing it." i countered, annoyed by her attitude towards me. "Why you litt-" "Guess I'll be leaving now, thanks for leading me to Ponyville from the Everfree Forest, Sweetie Belle." I turned around and started walking away that is, until she spoke to me again "*Sigh*... I sorry for calling you that as long as take what you said back." "Agreed." I stated satisfied. "What was that you said about the Everfree Forest?" I knew this was gonna be a long ride. After explaining for 10 minutes straight, she offered to let me live here for saving Sweetie Belle, which I thanked her for. I wonder where Twilight is? I hadn't seen her yet even though she should be here. Several hours later nighttime. I stood in the town hall awaiting the inevitable, Celestia was no longer there and in her place was Nightmare Moon... To Be Continued... Author's Note Just to be clear, this isn't a variation of the displayed format, Tierique didn't become Jotaro. Also make sure to leave comments, like and leave criticism!

Then the Mane 6 with their Elements of Harmony, look forward determinedly, standing their ground.

Soshite tsudoishi STAR DUST (The screen passes through clouds to reveal a eclipsed sun before five shooting stars move pass it. A six other stars join them.)

All right now All right now All right now Hokori no Bullet (The team then show their Stand Abilities.) (JoJo, Jojo Jojo!) Break you down Break you down Break you down Kobushi hanatsu seinaru VISION Stand Proud! (Celestia and Luna give the camera a small smile before closing their eyes and fading to black. The Mane 6 keep their eyes open and look forward, determined. Tierique and his group open their eyes with smug grins on their faces. A staircase of cards fly by the camera which then zooms into the face of Tierique's Stand which is attacking a mysterious figure. Tierique appears in a starry void. He summons his Stand which has changed and punches a glass wall before eventually punching through it.) I stared at the Mare In The Moon. She hadn’t noticed me, at least not yet anyway. “Oh, my beloved subjects, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen your precious little sun-loving faces.” she said “What did you do to the Princess!” Rainbow Dash demanded. She tried to fly towards her before being held back by Applejack. “Woah nelly!” she exclaimed, although slightly muffled. Nightmare chuckled “Oh, my subjects, don’t you recognise me? Can any of you tell me my name?” Pinky Pie grinned excitedly “Oh! Is it Soot Mare? No, Mist Mane! Wait... Wrong pony. Uh Puc-” Before she say anything else, Applejack silenced her with an apple she had tucked under her hat. “I do! You’re the Mare In The Moon, Nightmare Moon!” Twilight Sparkle declared! Gasps echoed around the room. Everyone realised what danger they were in. I decided to make my self known. “Hey Nightmare!” She looked at me with curiosity. “Oh? And who might you be?” she eyed me suspiciously. Why do feel like I’m going to regret this? “I’m Tierique, and I’m going to beat you!” I drew Anubis as watched her carefully, looking for any sudden movement. “Do you really think that you can beat a goddess!?” she retaliated. She aimed her horn towards me as her ‘mist’ raced towards me. It was too fast to dodge! As I raised Anubis in defence, name came to mind. Backed into a corner (figuratively speaking), called out the name. " 『End of the World! 』” The mist had parted around me as figure that I could only identify as a Stand, although it wasn’t one I recognised. The Stand was a Pony with wings and horn, it’s coat was a brilliant orange , the left wing was light blue and its left, yellow, its tail and mane was dark pink and unkempt and the horn in the middle of its forehead was both purple and white. It was about 4”5, whilst I was 5”3. “Pass me that sword of yours and hop on.” My stand spoke to me in a feminine voice. After experiencing everything I did today, it speaking didn’t surprise me. Complying with their (her?) command, I mounted her and gave her Anubis, her horn lit as she held it in a grip of wind beside us. “Hold my mane if you need to, hold on tight!” Following her advice, we took off at great speed towards Nightmare and before she could react, End of the World slugged her in the face sending back few meters. “MUDA! (無駄！)” She cried as she punched Nightmare Moon. I swore I saw blood trickle down her nose. “How dare you attack royalty! And how are you flying without wings?!” she spat. Good, she’s not a Stand User then. Nightmare morphed into mist and retreated to the Everfree Forest. “After her!” I heard Mayor Mare order the guard and I heard more flapping wings behind me. “So, do you want to come with me?” I asked them as they flew past me. They observed me suspiciously, likey confused about my ‘ability’ to fly. “Aa much we could use your abilities to help us, you are still a civilian. " One of them responded with a neutral expression. “Just don’t get yourselves killed, okay.” I seems like they don’t now how much danger they were in. I watched them disappear past the edge of the forest and also saw six mares enter the forest moments later. “Let’s watch the Mane 6 and make sure nothing bad happens to them.” I told 『End of the World』 quietly. Moving at a much slower pace, we tailed them and made sure I wasn’t seen. An Hour Later We watched as the Mane 6 entered The Castle of the Two Sisters and into the room containing the Elements of Harmony. We viewed them from a distance, they had assembled the Elements together and had Twilight make the sixth appear. The others left the room to help Twilight focus on igniting the spark. Suddenly, a ghostly mist swirled around the Elements and for a split second she opened her eyes but it was too late she was swept into the tornado before vanishing in a flash of light. The spire nearby flashed with light, drawing my attention to it. Still riding 『End of the World 』, we flew over to the spire ready to finally face Nightmare Moon. I touched base next to Twilight who jumped slightly at my sudden appearance . "Did you forget about me Nightmare?" I taunted. "Were you following us?" Twilight asked. "That's not important right now, we need to get the Elements before she destroys them! I'll Distract her while you get the Elements, now let's charge!" I whispered to her. I grabbed Anubis and with 『End of the World』's help, launched towards Nightmare Moon ready to swing. However, she anticipated my attack and sidestepped. I then bounced back off the wall to strike again, but I only grazed her face. As we fought, Twilight had cast a spell on the Elements. Nightmare Moon noticed what she was doing and immediately teleported in front of Twilight and kicked her several meters back, winding her. Elements of Harmony were glowing, sparks connecting them, before it seemingly shut off. "But where's the sixth Element?" she asked deeply confused. Nightmare Moon laughed evilly and slammed her hooves down, shattering the Elements of Harmony into shards. "You little foals, thinking that you could defeat me. You'll never see the sun or your princess again, the night will last forever!" she laughed maniacally. Just then, we heard Twilight's friends calling her, Twilight gasped in realisation, she knew how to make the last Element appear. "Did you really think that you could destroy the Elements just like that?" "Yare Yare, it doesn't take genius to figure it out" "Well you're wrong! The spirits of the Elements are right here!" The shattered Elements started to react to our words. "Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the Element of Honesty!" "Fluttershy, who tamed a manticore with her compassion, represents the Element of Kindness!" "Pinke Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the Element of Laughter!" "Rarity, who calmed a serpent with a meaningful gift, represents the Element of Generosity!" "And Rainbow Dash, who couldn't abandone her friends for her own heart's desires, represents the Element of Loyalty!" "The spirits of these five ponies got us through all of your challenges." she declared "But you still haven't got the sixth Element, the spark didn't work!" she said triumphant "But it did! A different kind of spark!" She turned to her friends. "I felt it the very moment I realised how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realised that you were all... " she turned back to Nightmare Moon. "My friends!" The sixth Element appeared above us. "You see, Nightmare Moon, when these five Elements come together and are ignited by the spark, inside us all it creates the sixth Element, The Element of Magic!" The Elements of Harmony began to shine intensely, the shattered remains of each respective Element fused together into necklaces on their bearers whilst Magic became a crown. Twilight floated towards the other Elements and a rainbow of magic crashed down on Nightmare Moon and everything went white. To Be Continued... Author's Note Remember to like and comment!

He summons his Stand which has changed and punches a glass wall before eventually punching through it.) I woke up after the Element of Harmony were set off, face flat against the ground. As I got up I heard several other groans behind me. “Is everypony alright?” Applejack said. There were several murmurs of confirmation from the ponies. A bright light shun out of the broken window as the sun rose as if by magic. The bright light disappeared to reveal the Princess her self, Princess Celestia. Five of the six mare bowed to her and Twilight looked on with a smile on her face. “Princess Celestia!” she practically squealed with happiness. “Twilight, my most faithful student. I knew you could do it.” she nuzzled Twilight affectionately. “But you told that it was an old ponies tale.” she questioned her mentor. “I told you to make some friends Twilight, nothing more. I saw the signs of her return and I knew that you had the magic inside you, you just needed true friendship to let it out, if only another did the same, Princess Luna.” she drew everyone’s attention to the pony on the floor. “It’s time to put our differences aside sister, we were meant to rule together.” she said sadly “Sister?!” they exclaimed, not knowing that information. Celestia carried on. “Will you accept my friendship?” she asked Luna. She looked conflicted for a few moments before embracing her sister. “Yes sister! I wish I never had left you!” she cried with happiness. We looked on at the scene, it was quite heartwarming to see. Five Minutes Later... “Now, young one, who are you and what do my little ponies mean by ‘Special Powers’?” Celestia asked me with a neutral expression. “My name is Tierique Stapleton, Princess Celestia, and they were referring to my Stand.” I explained to her, she looked at me curiously. “What exactly is a ‘Stand’ as you put it?” This was going to be a very long discussion, wasn’t it? “Stands are manifestations of someone’s soul, they come in many shape sizes, only a few have them naturally and they can only be seen by Stand Users like me. The most common types of Stand are short range and long range Stands. Every Stand has at least one ability and some of them are very powerful like stopping time or rewinding time whilst others are weak under normal circumstances. Stands are also named after songs, bands and albums. If you aren’t born with a Stand you’d have to use one of these-” I carefully pulled The Requiem Arrow from my pocket to show her.” -Stand Arrows, oh! Do you have a question?” I asked her. “How do these ‘Stand Arrows’ work exactly?” she inquired. “Simple, you cut yourself on it, wait out a fever that lasts a few hours and then you summon your Stand! It’s really that simple to do.” I answered. She hummed to herself thinking about something. “Could you show me your Stand’s Ability, Tierique?” she asked in a soothing tone. I gave her a nod before summoning my Stand. “『End of the World 』!” I called out as my Stand manifested in front of me. I focused on the air around my legs, imagining it ‘moving up’ as I started to float in mid-air. “My Stand can manipulate fire, water, air, earth and lightning. It cannot create them and she can only manipulate one at a time.” I explained. “Now that’s out of the way, I want to know, what are your plans here in Equestria?” she inquired. “Get a place to live, go to school and generally live a good life.” I replied nonchalantly. She giggled a little. “I’ll see what I can do.” she answered with a smile. Two Days Later Celestia was able to get me my house and got me into Ponyville School in a very short period of time. She also said that she would give me an allowance of 75 bits a week as thank for helping save her sister(she had already paid full price for the house). I had gone shopping yesterday for school supplies and food. I made lunch the same day so I wouldn’t have to today. I had about fifteen minutes to get to school! Wearing my new backpack I had bought full of school supplies, I flew as fast as I could, remembering route I needed to take to get there. I took me about five minutes to get to the schoolhouse thanks to 『End of the World 』. I noticed a distinct lack of ponies around the school area. Maybe they’re inside? I thought to myself. Just as I was going to enter, Miss Cheerlie walked out. “Oh! Good morning Tierique, you got here just in time to introduce yourself to your new class, follow me!” she told cheerfully heh heh cheerfully . It didn’t take us long to reach my class. Miss Cheerlie left me just outside the class and told me to come in when she signaled to me through the open door. “Attention class!” Everyone ceased their conversations and paid attention to Miss Cheerlie. “Today we have a new student joining us, he may different to us but want you to accept him all the same.” she then signaled to me, indicating that I should enter. The foals gave me many odd looks, ones of curiosity, fear, indifference and bewilderment. “Sup everyone! I’m Tierique the new student.” I introduced myself. “You’re the creature that helped defeat Nightmare Moon!” A colt called out. “That’s correct! Where’d you hear that?” I asked, curious myself. “You’re in the Ponyville Newspaper! ‘Strange creature with strange powers helps defeat Nightmare Moon.’” Well this news for me. “Huh, neat. So does anyone else have a question?” I asked the class. A certain white filly raised her hoof. “Do humans get cutie marks?” Sweetie Belle asked. “No, humans don’t have cutie marks.” I confirmed “Then how do you know what you’re good at without one?” she questioned “Simple, we don’t. Instead we usually get jobs that appeals us when they’re available. Heck, if anything, it’s a good thing we don’t, just give us more options.” I answered. “Hah! You’re a blank-flank for life!” a certain filly mocked. “Diamond Tiara! Don’t be rude!” Miss Cheerlie scolded her. “You do realise that I don’t care, right?” I countered Diamond Tiara. She sputtered for a moment but couldn’t think of something clever to say. There was one other colt that held his hoof up. “What are your strange abilities?” The colt questioned. The colt had a messy light blue mane that faded to black at the ends, a short horn, a light blue tail that faded to a forest green at the ends, black irises and a ruby-red coat. “It’s called a ‘Stand’, all ‘Stands’ are unique to their users and invisible to non-stand users.” Even though they aren’t stand users, I summoned 『End of the World 』anyway. However, to my surprise, the colt who asked the question reacted to her. “Is that your Stand?” he pointed to my Stand. “The fact that you can see it... Then, you’re proof that Natural Stand Users exist!” I excitedly exclaimed. “’Natural Stand User?” he inquired. “Uhh, I’ll tell you later, that’s enough questions for now.” I said sheepishly. I took the desk next to him. “Oh yeah! I forgot to ask but, what’s your name?” I asked him. “Frostbrand, Starstorm Frostbrand.” To Be Continued...
