Sorry if this seems a little rushed

Chapter 45 crossover

It's been a month since Ember became the new dragon lord, I knew I should be happy about that but recently I've been filled with fear, the fear that if I used too much of my power I could turn back into that thing, and hurt applejack.

"Maybe if a displaced summoned me they might be able to help me, but what are the odds of that happening," I said as I laid on my bed, Applejack and I haven't moved into the same room yet, we thought it might be a little too early for that.

This new body of mine also lead to other changes, my book changed once I touched it, it not only changed in look but got many more pages of spells, i also have also grown suspicious that Celestia and Luna have not told me everything about this whole connection thing, even Nightmare is being quiet about it.

Then a strange feminine voice echoed through my mind. “Spyro...Dark Spyro? Please come from wherever you are from and please...please help me find my husband and help us save this world from freezing over.” then a portal opening up in my room.

"This is happening sooner than I thought. Oh well, let's see what in store for me? I said grabbing my book the cover now looked plain, but across it, glowing numbers and letters floated around the cover, didn't know why, but I liked the effect. I then entered the portal
()
As I stepped through I was met with a strange sight, a kappa dragon. Most of her body is moss green scales with peach fuzz fur of the same color. The spines of a typical Air Dragon were replaced with longer hair that was a loquat yellow, with tufts of hair at certain joints following the same color. On top of her head, where longer hair would be, were feathers of the same yellow as her other bits. As for her clothing, she wore leather armor as seen in Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, minus the helmet, with her normal, day-to-day clothes under the armor. She had a Dawnguard crossbow strapped to her back and an iron mace was strapped to her belt.

“Huh, you look different than I expected,” she said while rubbing her chin.

"I'm the Spyro from the Skylanders show, not the games," I told her.

“Good to know,” she responded. “I’m Aqua and we need to find my husband and the others before-” She was interrupted when a blue aura started to glow around her. “Oh no…”

"What's wrong?" I asked.

“I just learned today...or tonight?... that when my husband gets mad or flies into a rage, I glow blue in response to him glowing red from said rage,” Aqua explained. “I love my husband, but he can be fragile at times. You don’t know how many times I’ve kept him from killing someone, or breaking something in our first year...which was just today or yesterday.” She stopped talking and pulled the mace off her belt. “I’m rambling, we need to find him before Nightmare Moon kills him or the others.”

"Ok let's go there likely in that tower," I said pointing at it before we started moving.

As we started to ascend a spiral staircase, Aqua asked, “So, dragon, human, or other creature before Displaced?”

"Human, I died saving my grand daughter, while at a convention," I told her. "Not the best way to get displaced."

“Well, I’m a Kappa Dragon, and my husband, Jaxon, is human,” Aqua spoke. “I got, and drank, a gallon of Hist sap and he got and is wearing a set of bracers, both we got from a shady merchant guy.”

"I brought dark Spyro's horns, and Cynder's collar," I said

“So, Dark Spyro from those as a result,” Aqua said, before briefly tripping, but not falling, on some of the steps. “Whoops, sorry, bit of a klutz sometimes.”

"No problem, but my merchant wanted to send two people to my Equestria, but I died before giving it to anyone." I explained

“Well, then maybe there is a chance he could send a second person there, but not a big chance,” Aqua said as we neared the top of the stairs. “And now...what in Oblivion?!”

Looking into the room, I saw the Mane Six of this world, plus Shining Armor and Spike laying on the ground, badly beaten and bruised with a Spartan wannabe standing over them with a sword and what looks to be a dagger fashioned from a broken spear.

"Who's that?" I asked. Aqua didn’t respond, other than to drop her mace and rush to the armored figure. A few steps in and time seemed to slow before stopping entirely.

“Don’t let her get too close!” A distorted female voice warned. From Aqua's shadow’s, chain spring tieing her up stopping her from moving forward, this is my first time using it but it was a success.

"Don't rush in!" I told her.

“But Jaxon!” She protested.

“He isn’t himself,” the voice said. “Isu mind control from an artifact that holds me in it. I’m doing my best to keep him from outright killing, but Nightmare Moon will notice sooner or later and overpower my temporary failsafe.”

"Hey Aqua, you know what Isu is?" I asked confused.

“Its a term for a Precursor race in the Assassin’s Creed series,” she said. “What brings that up?”

"Lets just say my technomancy finally became useful." I told her.

“Technomancy,” She said, as if taste testing the word in her mouth. “Makes sense. Isu Artifacts are just really just advanced technology. Question is, where is the artifact that is doing the controlling?”

As if in answer to her question, a dark miasma floated into view before parting, revealing Nightmare Moon, standing up like an anthro and holding a glowing, golden orb in her hoof.

"Is that it?" I asked.

“More than likely,” Aqua answered. “See about taking care of freeing Jaxon and giving Nightmare a good bruising while I focus on helping heal the others?” Her question sounded half that and half command.

"Ok let's see how well this power is for combat." I said putting two claws in my mouth before whistling. Form my shadow sprung four shadowy copies of myself, they have most of my powers, and abilities, like I believe I mentioned before, I got this form the shadow sprite Eva summoned.

"Attack." I commanded, two of the copies charge towards Jaxon the other two towards Nightmare. Four was my maximum amount of copies I could have at any one time, which was fine.

"I've already dealt with one Nightmare let's add another to that list." I said charging towards Nightmare since she was the bigger threat. Just as I was a few meters from hitting her, Jaxon jumped in front of me, crossing his sword and dagger in front of himself. As soon as one of my horns made contact, he slid them up, knocking my head back and disrupting my charge and staggering me.

Taking a quick look around, I saw that the two shadows I sent to fight Jaxon were gone, most likely cut down. The other two were gone, and in their place were golden holograms taking their shape and standing alongside Jaxon.

“The Artifact hijacked your shadows sent at Nightmare Moon,” the voice said. “Take care of them and free Jaxon. I’ll try to minimize any injuries you might receive from them all.”

"This just got more complicated, well she can't take these." I said creating 20 living puppets, before creating their armor and weapons with my dark mist. These puppets are connected to me mentally like a hive mind, so they likely share my mental defense.

"Charge." I said all of us charged towards the trip 18 of them would take the shadows the remaining 2 would remain with me while I fight Jaxon.

The two of them charge first one holding a spear the other a sword both held shields in their free hand, the spearmen thrusted his spear, while the swordsman prepared for a slash. Jaxon quickly redirected the spear into the swordman’s throat and pulled the blade from him and threw it into the eyeslit of the spearman’s helmet. Once he lowered his guard the sword men punched him in the face. The punch didn’t seem to affect him much, and he used his broken spear to grab the spearman’s shield and wrench it out of his grip. He then proceeded to bash the swordman’s head in with said shield before throwing it at the spearman, taking off one of it’s legs in the throw.

'Looks like I've got to fight with the intent to kill to do any damage?' I thought, shooting a bolt of lightning from my mouth. The bolt knocked his sword out his hand and sent him into a twitching fit.

"That should take him out of the fight." I said then started to charge up a day bringer flame to shoot at Nightmare.

"Look out!" The voice warned a bit too late, as Jaxon rushed me and with a sweep of his broken spear, he knocked me off my feet and into the air. I flipped once before landing on my belly and felt something sharp impact my back. While there was no cut or puncture, I heard something break or shift in my back with intense pain and my wings went numb. I released my day bringer flame blowing the entire roof off the tower with a massive explosion, the shockwave of which sent Jaxon flying into a pillar.

"Buck!" I shouted, taking a look at my wings. I looked at Nightmare to see she was blinded by the explosion and had dropped the Artifact to try to clear her vision.

'Perfect.' I thought charging towards Nightmare tackling her with such force she was sent flying into a wall. I grabbed the orb, and while I have never used it before I knew what to do, as my horns charged up with purple electricity, before it struck the orb hacking it, and freeing Jaxon.

After a few seconds, Jaxon stood up and approached the Nightmare with his broken spear and his sword he recovered. She stood up as well, but was met with a flurry of slashes from Jaxon. He then stuck the spear into her skull, just below the horn. His sword then somehow lengthened and he impaled her and pinned her to the floor. Lifting up his hands, he coincidentally caught a large chunk of rubble from the ceiling and he slammed it onto the sword's pommel, wedging it deeper. He then grabbed both weapons and pulled them out so violently that Nightmare was flung into another wall, causing it to collapse on her, leaving her head unburied and somehow lacking a bloody hole in it.

"Hey catch." I said throwing him the orb. Jaxon caught the orb and raised it high, causing a few Golden beams to shoot at several crystalline shards. Said shards took varying colors before gathering in front of the Mane Six and Aqua, while an orb of fire, ice, and electricity jumped to and was absorbed by Jaxon, Shining, and Spike respectively.

Jaxon stashed the orb into a hidden satchel and began shooting a stream of fire at Nightmare Moon, with Shining and Spike following suit with their elements. Nightmare raised up a shield to block the destruction magic, unaware of the seven females charging up their Elements.

I popped my neck before gathering lighting in my mouth, just before firing a large stream of lighting at Nightmares shield. The added power shattered the shield just as the Elements fired. When the rainbow hit Nightmare Moon, the room went bright, briefly blinding me before my vision cleared, revealing the whole group unconscious on the ground and a glowing, golden hologram of a woman in a combination of an Ancient Greek dress and armor plates standing in front of me.

"Greetings, Avatar of Darkness," the woman greeted. "I am Alethia, proclaimed by your ancient ancestors as the Goddess of Truth. Speak, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge and allowance."

"I can't think of anything i want to ask." I told her I didn't really have any questions.

"Then don't, and accept my thanks for freeing me and the Artifact from the Nightmare's control," she said, giving me a brief bow. "However, I can sense some mild curiosity concerning some of the words Aqua spoke while you were traveling up some stairs earlier."

"Yes I was curious how she could be a dragon how she could be a dragon before she was displaced." I told her.

“The Multiverse applies to many worlds, not just Equestria,” Alethia said. “She and her husband comes from a version of Earth where magical creatures exist and joined human society shortly into the 15th century and have thrived since then.”

"Oh ok I guess there are multiple earth just like there are multiple equestrias, well now that everything is fine am I needed here anymore?" I asked.

“To an extent,” Alethia answered. “They will need your help in making their token, first off, and they have to be the ones to send you back.”

"I don't see why they need my help, all they need is to grab something that is theirs or is unique, give it a message explaining who they are, then throw it into the void,” I explained

“The fact still stands that they need to send you home,” she said. “Also, I am taking a ‘hands-off’ approach to guiding them through the future, so you telling them will best preserve the secret of my existence.”

"Well I can't take too long, I don't want the ponies in my Equestria to worry." I told her.

“Then with what little time you have, take your time.” The hologram faded and the group began to stir.

“Malaka,” Jaxon swore as he pushed himself into a sitting position. “My head feels like it was shoved in a blender then reassembled with a 3D printer.”

“And now I know what a hangover feels like,” Aqua said, taking a few deep breaths while cradling her head. “Thank my ancestors that I can handle alcohol without the nasty side effects.”

"Well now that the danger has passed its time to make your token, or tokens?" I said walking towards her.

“Unless you want a spear down your gullet-” Jaxon began, but was slapped in the back of the head by Aqua.

“Calm down,” she scolded. “As painful as your headache may be, you shouldn’t take it out on others.” She then pulled the rubble slab that Jaxon used against Nightmare Moon. “You see about doing some Assassin’s Creed crud, while I etch some of my kind’s ancient language on it.”

"So you already know what to do?" I asked.

“I overheard you talking with someone,” Aqua said. “Didn’t catch everything, but what you said about a token and the void stood out.”

“All I could hear was my headache pounding my brain into mush,” Jaxon said, as he placed his broken spear on the slab while holding the Artifact over it. The artifact glowed and an indent in the rough outline of said spear was made into the slab.

Aqua then took the slab and used one of her claws to etch what looked to be some form of chicken scratch, but it seemed to emanate some sort of primal power with each scratch into the stone. The power briefly intensified when she breathed some mist over it, before the power seemed to go dormant. She then turned to me with a look of curiosity on her face. “How do we ‘throw it into the void’, as you put it?” She asked.

"I don't know, my merchant was kind enough to explain everything, and take my token once I made it, so just throw it I guess." I shrugged

Jaxon stood up and took one side of the slab, with Aqua on the other side, and he tossed the slab towards the floor, only for it to get intercepted by a dark purple portal. After a few seconds of activity, the slab shot back out, hitting Jaxon in his helmeted head, knocking him back out. Aqua looked down at her prone husband with a sheepish smile. “Oops.”

"Well maybe you should get him checked, once you get back to Ponyville." I suggested.

“Sounds fair,” She said, gently picking up the armored human. “So, how will you get back to your Equestria or whatever you call home?”

"I don't know, maybe hold up my token again?" I said with no idea how to return home. Aqua pulled out the dark orb and held it up. It briefly glowed a few seconds and another dark portal opened for me.

“I hope we meet again,” she said as I walked through the portal. “Hopefully on better terms.”

"Maybe but for now take care." I told her before walking through the portal, which led back to my bedroom.
