[Chris' P.O.V.]

I rubbed the sleep from my eyes as the early morning sun streamed through my bedroom window, illuminating my room. The remnants of last night's party still lingered in my mind. "Fuck me...I shouldn't have drank so much last night..." I said, groaning as I sat up on the edge of my bed. I was about to get up, but before I could move, a loud popping noise came from my living room downstairs. "What the fuck was that?!" I exclaimed, jumping a bit. I rushed downstairs to investigate the noise. However, what greeted me when I stepped into the living room was far more than anything I could have ever imagined.

There, standing in the center of my living room, surrounded by a shimmering aura of purple magic, was none other than Twilight Sparkle. The beloved princess of Equestria stood majestically, her violet eyes wide with an expression that mirrored my own astonishment.

I blinked in disbelief, half-expecting this to be some elaborate dream, or ill effects of last night drinking. “What?” I murmured, bewilderment lacing my voice, my breath heavy and my heart pounded.

Twilight perked up her ears, her long, ethereal mane dancing gently in the air as if stirred by an unseen breeze. “Oh! I—” She paused, glancing around the unfamiliar environment, her brows furrowing with concern. “Wh-where am I?”

I absorbed her words, her voice. Feelings of excitement and confusion swirled within me. There was a talking pony that had appeared out of no where, a talking pony that I grew up watching in a show targeted towards girls no less! Something you would only see in a fantasy/isekai story. Now said pony was standing before me, flesh and magic bursting with life.

“Y-you're in my house...” I said, my voice low and near a murmur.

Twilight's eyes widened, frantically looking around. Tears began to well in her eyes. “No! No, this can't be happening!" Her voice breathy and also frantic. "For over two thousand years, I have been working on this spell!” she said, her voice shaky and filled with disbelief. “Nothing should have went wrong! The portal was stable, my notes were perfect...so why?!" She exclaimed, her voice slightly breaking as more tears flowed from her eyes. "This isn't in Equestria...this isn't where I was trying to go!" She said, her voice cracking once more. "Starlight Glimmer warned me about this—yet still...I didn't listen...I failed..." Her voice, almost a whisper, squeaks out those last two words.

As Twilight paced the room, I felt a pang of guilt for her current situation. I was starting feel unexpected connection to her, as if I were in her "shoes". I couldn’t just let her suffer through this alone, so I decided to act. "Hey, hey, hey...don't beat yourself up!" I tried to comfort her. "Tell me, where was it you were trying to go?" I asked, squatting down to be at eye level, in an attempt to be her equal in this.

Twilight sniffed and looked me in the eye; explaining that she had been studying a spell that would allow her to travel through time and space, but something had gone wrong, and she had ended up in my living room instead of her intended destination. She was attempting to go back in time to see her friends one more time before retiring her role as ruler of the kingdom, allowing her student, Luster Dawn, to take over as she felt that Luster was finally ready to take up the mantle.

I sighed heavily, kneeling on the ground with my hands on my lap. “Okay...what if I helped you search for a way back?" I asked, causing Twilight to look at me with surprise. "We can sit down and retrace your steps, and maybe, just maybe, we can find something that could bring you back." I suggested softly, gesturing to couch behind me. "Though, first thing's first..." I paused, as I inhaled and exhaled. "I think introductions are in order?" I said, smiling. "I mean it's not everyday that a purple winged unicorn just appears in one's living room randomly." I slightly deadpanned.

Twilight paused, her eyes widen, cheeks turning a slight red. “Oh...right...” She chuckles sheepishly. "I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I'm an Alicorn, not a winged unicorn, though that is a valid descriptor." She said, sadness still in her voice, but more calm this time.

“Good to meet you, Twilight! The name's Chris!” I said, smiling further. 'I can't let on that I know who she is, it might scare her enough to make her run away.' 'I mentally shook my head. If the government finds her...eugh...I don't even wanna think what could happen!'

A warm smile broke across her face, lifting the mood a bit. She sighed, frowning again. "To be honest, I was too deep in my own head and didn't listen to my friend's warning..." She trailed, staring off in the distance. "If I had listened and—" her voice hitched.

I took this as a sign of it being too much for her and tried to change the subject a little. "Well hey! At least you got lucky that you appeared in my living room!" I said, chuckling at the situation.

Twilight looked at me, head tilting quizzically. "What do you mean?" She asked, sniffling. Her body shifted in a more comfortable position as she relaxed a bit.

I looked around the room, unsure if I should go into full detail—or just leave it to the basics. "Well..." I started, deciding to just go for the basic explanation. "You see, I too, am a bit of a dabbler in the arts." I say trying to explain it in a simplified manner. "I am the only—to my knowledge—human to be able to actually use magic!" I pose in a bit of a stoic position. "I am well-versed in Storm Magic." I smile, looking to her.

Twilight's eyes widened. "Storm Magic?!" She exclaims. "That's a VERY rare type of arcane manifestation!" Her eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

I chuckle. "Well...the only two things I can do is emotionally making it rain or thunder storm...and...call upon 'him'" I say disdainfully.

Twilight once again tilts her head. "Him? Who's 'him', and why does it sound like you don't like him?" She asks, her wings shift in concern.

I weigh my options. 'Well, telling her that I can summon Zeus' powers for a limited time will take more explanation than I have time for...I guess I could tell her a small portion and...ugh...show her.' I thought, a bad taste forming in my mouth by thinking about summoning that prick. While in thought, I hear a muffled crash of thunder in the distance. I close my eyes tight at the decision I am going to make. "Alright." I sighed. "This is going to sound strange so bare with me here," I take a deep breath. "There is this ancient god known as Zeus, and for some unknowable and unholy reason, I have been gifted the ability to not only control storms with my emotions, but also summon Zeus and will that he allows me a timed "power up" that allows me to use his abilities at my own discretion." I say, almost too fast to understand.

Luckily, however, Twilight nods and smiles at me, eyes wide at the implications. "Would you be able to show me?!" She says in a voice so quizzical it sounded manic.

I roll my eyes. "Very well, Twilight. But we have to go in my backyard and it involves a...lyrical incantation." I groan out the last part.

Twilight eyes lit up like a fucking Christmas tree and she gasped. "A song?!" She very loudly and FAR too happily said. I groan again and nod. "This is going to be fun!" She exclaimed once again.

"Let's not have this become a 'thing' okay? Let's just go and get it over with already!" I say in a huff. "I can't stand that smug bastard as it is." I grunt as I walk towards the door.

Twilight smiles and rolls her eyes. "It's not going to be a 'thing', okay? I am just excited to see a human do magic!" She said giggling.

I smile too and opened the door. "Alrighty then. Let's do this." I said as I walked into the center of my backyard. I close my eyes and summon my mana to envelop my entire being.

I took a deep breath, and began the incantation.

"Pride is a damsel in distress

Hiding away where only I can undress her

Try all she can not to confess

In the end, it's all the same once I apply all the pressure

Thunder, bring her through the wringer

Show her I'm the judgment call

The one who makes her kingdom fall

Lightning, wield her, use and yield her

Show her what she can't conceal

For true nature will be revealed!

I wonder who'd take the weight of the damned

And suffer a gruesome fate to the

Thunder bringer, here to ring your

Ears until you're deaf with fear

And spear you while your death is near

Lightning wielder, here to yield your

Time, for you have passed your prime

Sublime you for your act of crime!"

BOOM! CRACK!

It felt as though the very air had become charged with Godly energy. The sky lit up with lightning striking the clouds one by one, finally focusing on a central, gigantic cloud. A spark of lightning shattered the sky, and what appeared to be a massive face shown in the clouds from the instantaneous light the bolt had cast.

After a final crack of lightning split the clouds in two and a thunderous boom lashed out across the heavens, a giant figure emerged from the clouds. This mountainous figure is all but visible to other mortals aside from me and Twilight. He looked down with a smug grin on his face, his gaze landed on Twilight.

"Oi! Zeus! Over here ya prick!" I called to him, blocking his view of Twi. His eyes lazily turn to me. "I need your power again, but I want it for a few months while I try to get my friend back home!" I call once more.

Zeus scoffs. "You mortals are always asking for the gods' help when you need it! Figure it out yourse—AHH!" A pained shout came as soon as he denied my request, a red symbol that looked like a snake with a spike through it started to pulse a hellish red-orange.

I scoffed myself as I looked up to him with a neutral stare. "You know you aren't allowed to say no, we're bound by the universe...unfortunately." I yelled to him, rolling my eyes. "Hell, everyone knows you deserve it, you womanizing prick!" I said as my anger caused an abnormally strong surge of mana feedback to shoot at Zeus like a wave.

Once the surge reached Zeus, he seemed to freeze where he stood and his eyes started to go white. He tried to scream or say something but only a croak flitted out of his voice.

"The fu—ACK!" I yelled, my mana tightly wrapping itself around me, my eyes going white as well. A high pitched hum manifested in my ears as the very fabric of the Ether twisted around me. I tried to call to Twilight, but I only managed a choked grunt. My eyes grew wide as I felt the Ether pulling Zeus' mana towards me. After a few seconds the Ether shifted from the mana to the god, pulling him towards me.

The god shrunk down to human size as he was seized out of the sky, still frozen in a shocked expression. Zeus started to become less opaque and reality around him begun to warp, like a black hole. The white glow our eyes produced also became brighter as Zeus was pulled into me. The world looked as though it was spinning inside-out, and then darkness.

[Twilight's P.O.V]
Time seemed to stop when Zeus and Chris seemed to merge, a massive bolt of lightning struck them as the glow of their eyes grew brighter. After the flash of the lightning I saw only one person; Chris. The storm seeming to vanish as quickly as it started. "Chris!" I called to him. Galloping over to him, and sliding on my hooves to stop at his body. "Oh no! Please! Don't be dead! I'm sorry I had you do this!" I cried, tears welling up in my head. I bent down and put my ear up to his mouth, listening for any signs of life. Thankfully there was a shallow gust of air that came from his lips. "Oh, thank Celestia!" I breathed in relief. My heart was pounding from what happened not but a few minutes ago. 'Okay, Twilight, think!' I looked around to judge how far the house was from the yard. 'Alright...I just need to lift him up and lay him on the couch and then....' I honestly didn't know what to do afterwards, but a start to a plan was still a plan, so I lit my horn and tried to lift him.

fizzle

...wat?

I blinked a few times. I lit my horn once more and tried to lift.

fizzle

I try again.

fizzle

"Welp...fuck me..." I deadpanned.

Author's Note

YESS I KNOW THE PACING IS WEIRD, GIMME A BREAK lol

Ive been trying to find a way to make this come together and a new song that recently appeared in my YT reccomended helped A LOT! It's Thunderbringer from the EPIC musical! I reccomend giving it a watch! I just decided to use a few bits of the song as a summoning incantation is all! That's probably the last you'll see of it...maybe
