"Huh. I guess not." Blueblood says, lighting his horn in yellow magic before the rest of us, excluding Luna, get coated in the same glow. Blueblood raises his horn straight up before scrunching up his face as his magic fizzles out around us and he falls to the his knees. "What? What's going on? Why is my… magic… so weak?" Blueblood says, panting from the floor.
Oh no. Please tell me I haven't absorbed all his magic. Wait… I can't feel anything new… maybe I'm too strong to notice but I don't think I'm absorbing anything right now. I think as Bella leans closer to me.

"Seth… are you…?" Bella questions quietly.

"No, I don't think I am." I say just as quietly. "Are you alright, your highness?"

"I… I think so? It seems teleporting you and your friends is… harder than I thought. Let me try again." Blueblood says, obviously tired. Blueblood stands and relights his horn before Bella stops him.

"Let me help." She says, placing a glowing hand on Bluebloods back. Bluebloods magic lights up with a slight pink tint before he, my friends and I glow the same tinted colour, all four of us disappearing instantly, much to Bluebloods surprise. We reappear in what looks like the throne room, the glass windows displaying some of the feats of the elements of harmony. I see Celestia sitting on her throne with a unicorn pony in fancy clothes in front of her. She and the unicorn both gasp at our sudden arrival, obviously not expecting to see us all.

"Seth? Bella? What are you doing here?" Celestia asks.

"Prince Blueblood said you wanted to see me." I answer.

"I wanted to see you tomorrow, aren't you tired?" Celestia asks.

"No, I'm fine." I say, the unicorn in front of Celestias throne looking like he wants to say something. "Sorry, it seems we interrupted you. If you wish you can continue." I say to the pony, giving him and Celestia a step of space.

"Uhh… yes. As I was saying… I saw something strange happening close to the outer edges of the city, strange noises and such." The pony, who I now recognize as Fancy Pants, says.

"If I may," I say, getting Celestia and Fancy Pants's attention. "What kind of noises? And did you find anything else strange?" I ask them.

"The… the sound, I can only describe it as 'warping'. And it also seemed as if the area around me kept changing. I thought I was seeing things." Fancy says.

"Hmm… it might be a good idea to look around there and see if I- no, we can find the source." I say to Celestia.

"Are you sure? You just had a battle with my sister after all." Celestia questions.

"I'll be fine, princess. Really." I assure her.

"And I'm coming too." Bella says.

"Don't forget about me!" Screwy says, moving out from behind me. Celestia gasps as she sees her.

"Screwball. I didn't see you there. It is good to see you." Celestia says, surprised at my friends entrance. Screwy looks at Celestia angrily.

"Hey princess, nice to see you too." Screwy says. Celestia looks down at her tone.

"I am sorry about what I did, Screwball. When I first met you, I thought you would be no better than Discord. I am sorry I let my hatred for him cloud my judgement." Celestia apologizes. I take a deep breath before I take a step closer to the throne.

"I'm glad you apologized to my friend, Celestia. And I think you'll be glad to hear that I've decided to make her my responsibility… but… please, never do that again. To any of my friends." I say, my voice not threatening but noticeably hard.

"Of course Seth. I promise." Celestia says. I smile and reply.

"Thank you. Now then, now that that's out of the way," I say, looking to Fancy. "Where did you say these strange things happened?"

"Oh, uh… down near the edge of Canterlot, on Jasmine street."

"Perfect! Princess! Would you mind if my friends and I went down to investigate?" I say, looking to the matriarch.

"Oh, not at all. I'll even send you there." Celestia says, standing from her throne with her horn lighted in magic.

"Perfect. When ever your ready, if you could send me, Bella and Screwy to Jasmine street, it would be great." I say.

"Wait, can't I come too?" Blueblood asks, his eyes pleading.

"I… don't think that would be a good idea. If there's something dangerous there, we can't risk you getting hurt. Your are royalty." I explain. Blueblood only deflates.

"Don't worry, my dear nephew. You may stay hear and help me with day court until they return."

"Thank you, aunty." Blueblood says smiling.

"Alright. You better be off." Celestia says before her horn flares and the three of us all disappear in a golden flash.
We look around to see a line of normal one and two story buildings.

"Alright, let's look-" My sentence is cut of as the air around us seems to bend and shimmer, a strange *voouw* noise passing through the area. "This must be what he meant." I say.

"What was that guys name? I don't think we asked." Bella questions.

"He's Fancy Pants. A pretty nice noble." Screwy answers.

"Thank you Screwy. Now then, let's see if we can find the source of this." I say. Bella looks to her right before saying.

"I think I know where it is. I'm sensing something from over there." She points to a alley not far away.

"Let's check it out." We walk to the alley to see a strange sight. A large white crack on the yellow wall at the end of the alley. Except it isn't on the wall, it's in front of the wall. In the air. And it's getting bigger.

"What is that thing?" Screwy asks.

"I don-" I am interrupted by a distorted voice in front of me. Directly by the crack.

"HeLlO?" The voice says. I am unable to determine who it is. "Is AnYoNe ThErE?"

"HoW cAn ThErE bE sOmEoNe On ThE OtHeR sIdE oF tHe PoRtAl?" Another voice says, this one seems to be male.

"Excuse me? Can you hear us?" I ask the now identified portal.

"YeS wE cAn HeAr YoU, yOuR vOiCe SoUnDs A lItTlE sTrAnGe BuT wE cAn HeAr YoU."

"Your voice sounds strange too. Must be this crack your talking from." Screwy says.

"CrAcK?" A new voice says.

"Yeah. We're speaking to you through a crack in the air, from the looks of it." I respond to the voice.

"Oh. It MuSt Be WhAt ThE pOrTaL lOoKs LiKe FrOm ThAt SiDe." The feminine voice from earlier says.

"Hey. Who are you?" Screwy asks. The voices seem to whisper for a second before replying.

"WhO aRe YoU?" The second voice asks.

"We asked you first." Screwy rebuttals. More whispering is heard before the second voice comes back.

"I'm KeViN."

"I'm BeN."

"AnD I'M GWeN." Bella and I are wide eyed. Screwy, not so much.

"Well hi. I'm Screwball. And these are my friends, Seth and Bella."

"ScReWBaLl? WhAt KiNdA nAmE iS tHaT?" Kevin asks.

"You think that's bad? You should see my eyes." Screwy says.

"YoUr EyEs? WhY?" Gwen asks.

"Simple. I don't have pupils. My eyes are just lollipop swirls." Screwy answers. I snap myself out of my funk and ask.

"Listen. Question: why is there a portal here?"

"Oh, We ArE lOoKiNg FoR sOmEoNe. HiS nAmE iS A- No, KeViN, wE nEeD tO aSk FoR hElP. SoRrY aBoUt ThAt. HiS nAmE iS AgGrEgOr. HaVe YoU sEeN hIm? HiS bOdY lOoKs LiKe A aMaLgAm Of OtHeR pArTs. We ThInK hE gOt SeNt To YoUr DiMeNsIoN." Gwen says.

"Oooh. Yeah. He showed up about a week ago. Got pummeled into the ground by Seth. We can take you to the place he's being held." Screwy says.

"WaIt WhAt? He WaS bEaTeN? AnD dO yOu MeAn SeTh As In, ThE gUy We WeRe JuSt TaLkInG tO?" Ben asks.

"Yep. That's me." I say.

"WoW, hOw'D yOu BeAt HiM?" Kevin asks.

"I was stronger than him. And I absorbed his powers."

"WhAt?! YoU aBsOrBeD hIs PoWeRs?! HoW?!" Kevin asks.

"He's an Osmosian." Bella says.

"Oh No. ThIs Is BaD." Gwen says.

"What? Why?" Screwy asks.

"ThE bEiNgS AgGrEgGoR gOt HiS pOwErS fRoM aRe StIlL aLiVe! We NeEd To ExTrAcT tHeM oUt Of HiM!" Gwen shouts.
Oh dangit. I should of known I forgot something. The aliens are probably all stuck in me now. I mentally chastise myself.

"Well we need to do that then! They're probably now stuck in me! Wait. Do you have a way to extract them?" I ask the dimensional crack.

"We MaY. BuT wE'lL nEeD SeTh In OrDeR tO dO iT." Gwen says.

"Alright, what will I need to do?" I ask.

"…WaIt. YoUr NoT gOiNg To TrY tO hOlD oN tO tHe PoWeR?" Kevin asks.

"No. Not when innocent lives are in danger. Besides, I have enough power." I respond.

"…OkAy? WeLl In AnY cAsE, wE'lL eItHeR nEeD tO bE oN tHaT sIdE oR yOu'Ll NeEd To Be On ThIs SiDe So ThAt We CaN dO tHe TrAnSfEr." Gwen says.

"Okay, is there any way for any of us to cross over?" Bella asks.

"NoT yEt. We NeEd To WaIt FoR ThE pOrTaL tO sTaBiLiSe FiRsT." Gwen says.

"Is there any way to… help it along?" I ask.

"I dOn'T kNoW. MaYbE iF tHe PoRtAl GeTs StRuCk By LiGhTnInG tHeN iT cOuLd Be BoOsTeD aLoNg?" Gwen says.
Struck by lightning? Wait.

"Aggregor had electric powers. Would that work?" I ask them.

"MaYbE? YoU wOuLd NeEd a LoT oF LiGhTnInG tHoUgH." Gwen responds.
Alright. Let's hope this works.

"Okay. All of you, stand back." I say to the Plumbers. "You two as well." I say, looking to my friend and Screwy. After a second, I hear.

"AlRiGhT. We'Re ClEaR." Ben says.

"Be careful." Screwy says with her hand on my arm.

"I will." I say, smiling reassuringly.
Ok. I can do this. Just follow my instincts. I think, closing all my eyes and focusing on what I know of the powers of a Amperi. I start to feel a familiar surge of power within myself. It feels like a massive ball of power within me. I start to see a large multicoloured circle in my dark vision. The ball of power I feel is made up of multiple smaller spheres, each their own colour. One sphere that is a orangey pink is the largest of them all.
That must be S+Ps power that I absorbed. Wow, that's a lot. Beside the large ball is several other much much smaller but still noticeable spheres as well as a rather large green sphere. All of these are enclosed by seven different coloured curving lines, the center of six of them being a different colour, the seventh being a total white peach colour, the curved lines forming a ring, making the whole thing into a tight ball.

"HaVe YoU StArTeD yEt?" Ben asks.

"Trying to focus. Gimme a minute." I say before returning to my inner power. I start to focus on Amperi tentacles and see one energy ball surging and moving to join the seven outer curves. After two seconds, the energy joins the outer edges and stops moving. I feel my hands have changed. I open my eyes to see my metal knuckles have disappeared and the skin where they were has turn a bluish white.

"Alright. I think I'm ready." I say, pointing my hands at the crack in reality. Sparks start to fly off my fingers before I focus Ra'ads power and a large arc of lightning jumps from my hands into the crack, causing it to glow brighter and start to grow.

"❄︎♒︎♋︎⧫︎🕯︎⬧︎ ♑︎□︎□︎♎︎✏︎ 🙵♏︎♏︎◻︎ ♑︎□︎♓︎■︎♑︎✏︎" I hear a garbled mess from the expanding crack.

"What?! I can't understand you! Your voice is being messed up!" I yell over the arcs.

"🕈︎♒︎♋︎⧫︎✍︎" I hear before I am hit by a shock wave from the portal. My hands revert to normal and I see a perfectly round white portal.

"Huh. I'm glad to see that worked. Hello? Are you still there?" I ask.

"Yes, we're here." I heard Gwen say, much more clearly than before. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, we're fine." I say.

"Speak for your self." Screwy says from the ground. I see both Screwy and Bella getting up from the ground, having been knocked over by the blast.

"Whoa, are you two okay?" I ask them.

"We'll live." Bella says.

"Hey! We're coming through so stand back." Kevin's voice comes through the portal. My friends and I stand back and I say.

"Alright. Go ahead." The portal ripples for a second before a shape forms and a guy wearing a green jacket steps out. This is Ben Tennyson. Ben takes two steps forward, looking around before he stops as he sees me, looking up at my face. Another shape forms in the portal forms before a teenager walks out, this is Kevin Levin. Kevin takes a step before walking into Ben.

"What the? Ben, what're you… doing…?" Kevin asks before he sees me too.

"Guys? Is something wrong?" Gwen asks from the portal before walking through. "Guys? Wha…? Oh." Gwen sees me and does the same as her friends.

"Wow. You really stumped them." Screwy says, drawing the teens' attention.

"What the? The heck are you?" Kevin asks, pointing at Screwy.

"I'm Screwball." Screwy responds.

"Wait, your Screwball? What are you?" Gwen asks.

"Well… I'm not entirely sure. I look like a pony, but a pony can't do this." Screwy says, snapping her fingers and making a milkshake appear out of thin air which she begins drinking. Gwen just stared at her for a second before looking to me.

"Okay. Back to you. What are you? You look like a Vaxasaurian. No, wait. You look like a ultimate Vaxasaurian. Did Aggregor do this?" Gwen asks.

"No… it's kinda hard to explain." I say.

"Perhaps I can help." I hear a familiar voice say from the portal. A middle age man walks out of the portal, wearing a lab coat and safety goggles around his neck.

"Professor Paradox?" I ask.

"Oh good. You've heard of me. It saves me the time to introduce myself. Now, as for why Seth looks like he does, it would probably be best if we consult who did this to him." Paradox says, holding out his signature pocket watch.

"Wait, what do you-?"
Click.
"Oh don't you da-!" My sentence is cut off as the portal behind Paradox changes to a psychedelic black and He pops out, landing on his face. The portal shuts afterwards.
The Genie looks up, showing a new looking scar over his right eye, confused.

"What am I? Oh no-" The Genies sentence is cut off as I hurl lightning at him, surprising the three Plumbers and making Paradox raise an eyebrow. After three seconds, I stop, the Genie smoking on the ground.

"Are you going to attack me every-" His sentence is ended as I step to the side, letting a mana disk nail him in the chest, sending him onto his back.

"Yes." Bella says, answering his interrupted question. The Plumbers run up to the Genie.

"What's your problem?!" Ben shouts at us.

"He," I say, pointing at the Genie. "Turned me into this!" I point to myself.

"He did that?" Gwen asks.

"Yes, and he did this to me." Bella says, taking her now true Anodite form.

"He turned you into an Anodite?" Gwen asks. "How?"

"There are very few things a Void dweller cannot do, let alone a Displacer like myself." The Genie says, smiling.

"Why did you bring him here?" I ask Paradox as Bella retakes her human form.

"I thought it would be better if that the one who did it should explain it." Paradox says.

"I can explain it." I say to him. Paradox sighs.

"Would it make you happy if I sent him back where he came from?" Paradox asks. I nod and say.

"Yes please."

"*Sigh* As you wish." Paradox says as he looks behind him to the Genie who is now standing and pulls out his pocket watch again.

"Wait. Before I go, I wanted to say one thing." The Genie says, looking to Bella, the professor and me.

"What is it?" Bella asks.

"Oh, nothing much. Just… This!" The Genie shouts, pointing his finger and firing a white beam at me. The beam hits me, stinging and burning me slightly, the point of impact shows some exposed underskin and smokes before it regenerates. The Genie looks at me with his head tilted before exclaiming.

"Just how strong are you?!" I answer by leaning to the left as I hear mana charging from behind me. The Genie is then blasted by two large mana blasts, courtesy of Bella, straight into a Void portal. Paradox puts away his pocket watch as the Plumbers look at us completely confonded.

"Okay. What is going on?!" Kevin shouts.

"Sorry about that. I thought we could learn about our friend Seth's condition straight from the source but it seems that was a bad idea. Seth, would you kindly fill us in?" Paradox says, looking to me.

"Sure. You may want to get comfortable, this is pretty hectic. So, let's start about me first. My name is Seth, Seth Trian. I-"

"So that's your full name." Screwy interrupts.

"Hush. Anyway, I, as well as Bella, am a being known as a Displaced. A Displaced is a human who has been taken from their own reality and… been trapped? No, let's say been transported to another. In my and Bellas case, as a different species. I was once a human being. I am now a Osmosian amalgam, as you can see. Bella was once also a human being, she is now a Anodite, as you saw. In my old reality, none of this is real." I explain before Gwen cuts in.

"Wait, what do you mean, none of this is real?"

"Back home, everything you see here doesn't exist, not Screwy, not this place and not you four."

"What do you mean, 'we don't exist'?" Kevin asks.

"I mean, that where I'm from, if I told anyone about any of what has happened to me this past week, they'd either think I was crazy or telling a story." I answer.

"So… wait. If we don't exist, how do you know who professor Paradox is?" Ben asks.

"Hah. Should I tell them?" I ask the timewalker.

"It would probably be best, they All, disserve to know." He says. I look to Screwy, knowing what his words mean. I sigh.
Another time but for now…

"In the universe I'm from, all of you are fictional characters."

"What?" Ben, Gwen and Kevin ask at the same time.

"What's that supposed to mean? Paradox, what's he talking about?" Kevin asks.

"Exactly that. In his home, all of us are nothing but characters on a TV show." Paradox says.

"So, what? Everything we are, everything we've done? None of it matters?" Kevin asks, looking disheartened.

"Oh no, not at all. All of us matter. Yes, in his universe, all of us are fictional. But! Since we are all standing here, we do indeed exist." Paradox explains, smiling.

"Wait, but then, how do you explain…?" Gwen asks.

"Us being a TV show? Simple. Have you ever heard of dimensional leakage?" Paradox asks.

"Dimensional what?" Ben asks.

"Dimensional leakage. Sometimes, dimensions come to close together in the infinite Void. This can sometimes cause dimensions to 'leak' into others. This leakage can come in many forms. Strange occurrences, memories about things that never happened or… people having ideas about things that don't exist in their world." Paradox explains.

"So that means some of their dimension leaked into my dimension as a concept. Then that concept became a TV series." I say, figuring out what Paradox meant.

"Precisely." Paradox says, pointing at me.

"So, from your point of view, our lives is TV show." Ben says.

"And possible TV shows in your dimension might even be it's own dimension that leaked through." I say.

"And even games and other media." Paradox says.

"Wait. Does that mean Sumo Slamers is real too?!" Ben asks Paradox.

"It could be. But not everything is from another world, you know." Paradox answers.

"Wow. That's pretty awesome."

"What's awesome about us being TV characters?" Kevin asks.

"Hey. Nothings wrong with being characters. You have hundreds of thousands of fans." I tell them.

"Oh, I know about that. I keep getting swarmed on the streets." Ben says.

"Hey, at least your not like Ben 23." I comment.

"Who?" Ben and Gwen ask at the same time.

"Oh. You haven't… wait. What's the last important thing that happened to you?" I ask the trio.

"What? Why?" Kevin asks back.

"Just answer the question." I retort.

"We… were going into the Forge of creation to stop Aggregor from absorbing the powers of a baby Celestialsapien." Gwen says, me finishing Her sentence with her.

"Okay, that's weird." Kevin says.

"Well okay. I think I know where your at. But… something must of happened." I say.

"Yeah, on of the Alien X's waved its hand above us and then a portal opened up behind Aggregor and sucked him through. Paradox showed up and said that -" Kevin says before Paradox cuts him off.

"He has been sent to another dimension. After that I took young Ben home and left a clue where they could find Aggregor."

"Yeah, that was really annoying. We almost didn't get it." Kevin says.

"Wait. Where is Aggregor? You said he's being held? Held where?" Gwen asks.

"Good question. Screwy?" I ask, looking to my friend.

"Why are you asking me?" Screwy asks back.

"We vanished of the face of the world for… what was it? Four days?"

"Oh right. And yeah. Four days. Anyway, Aggregor was moved to the Canterlot dungeon. Oh. And his hands were secured like you said."

"There we go. He's in the dungeon." I say to the trio.

"Okay. May we take him back to our dimension so that he can be detained in a Plumbers base?" Gwen asks.

"Plumbers? What's plumbing got to do about this?" Screwy asks.

"Another time." I answer.

"Well, can you take us there so we can-" Gwen says but is cut off as Kevin asks.

"Where's the portal?"

"What- where is the portal?" Gwen asks, looking at the alley wall.

"It disappeared when the Genie showed up." Screwy says.

"Oh no. How we gonna get home?" Kevin asks.

"Paradox?" I say, looking to the man.

"Yes, I can make another." Paradox says, fiddling with his pocket watch for a second before the portal reappears.

"Wait, if you could make a portal here, why did we have to make one?" Ben asks.

"Because I can make a portal out, not in." Paradox retorts.

"Then how did you get here?" Kevin asks.

"By walking through the one you made." Paradox answers.

"Anyway." I say, getting everyone's attention. "Shall we go and see the princesses?"

"Princesses?" Gwen asks.

"Princess Celestia and princess Luna. The matriarchs of this world." I say.

"Wouldn't that make them the diarchs?" Gwen asks.

"Oh, is that the word? Yes, their the diarchs." I respond.

"Oh. Wait, if their the diarchs, shouldn't it be queens, not princesses?" Gwen asks.

"Hm. Ya know, I don't know. That's who they say they are." I answer, wondering the same thing. "Anyway, we better go see them so… shall we go?" I say.

"Oh, just one thing first." Paradox says, walking up to me and laying his hand on my arm.

"What are you-?" I am interrupted as the energy in me changes, my body shrinking in on itself. I feel my inner power shifting so I close my eyes and see the pure peach-white section of ring surrounding my power has changed that it now is its own ring around the other six outer colours, keeping them inside itself. I open my eyes to see my face is now level with everyone else who are all looking at me shocked, Bella looking like she's crying.

"Ok what-" I stop at the sound of my voice being normal again. "Test, test. Okay, what just happened?" I look down at my self to see…

My body is back to normal.

I am standing there. I am wearing a red and black hoodie, black pants and my silver wrist watch.

"Your welcome." Paradox says. Paradox then turns around, reaches into his pocket and pulls out a folded piece of paper, walks up to Kevin, gives him the paper, says. "I believe this is for you." And walks through the portal.

"What just happened?"

Author's Note

Dialogue heavy but I'm starting to think that may be my style… Oh well!

Also, sorry this took so long.
