Ultimate Equestria
I'm hom- HRAUGH!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs I step through the portal, three things happen in very quick succession. First, a hammer bigger than me smashes my head into the ground. Then, I feel something heavenly soft and slightly wet grace my face with the familiar taste of oranges slipping into my mouth, before immediately losing these sensations to a slap to the face that sends me into a bookshelf.
"WHAT IN TARTARUS HAPPENED?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I WAS?!" I hear Screwy scream at a volume that would give a Sonorosian a headache. "First you disappear for no reason at all, AGAIN, then you say you'll be back, then all of a sudden I feel my jewel BREAK, then when I finally feel it again, you're in a fight and you get hurt then you- you… d-do you h-have a-any i-idea h-how worried I w-was?" Screwy yells at me, hitting me in the chest before breaking down into my arms. I hug her as close as I can, my head nestled in her neck.
"I am SO sorry, Screwy. I didn't mean for you to get hurt, at all. You know I would go to the ends of the multiverse to keep you safe. As I promised." I say to her, stroking her back.
"W-well, your doing a lousy job of it." Screwy says sarcastically, hiccuping and wiping her tears. Her words hurt a little but I know she doesn't mean it.
"So, what were you doing while I was gone?" I ask her.
"Oh… nothing much. Put a few oasises in the badlands, made a few solar systems in space, they're too far away and too small to see though, you'd need a telescope or something. Oh, and I named a star after you." Screwy says, calmed down.
"Wait what? You named a star after me?" I ask her.
"Yep, the Sentinel star. Get it? Sentinel, Seth. Not to mention, a Sentinel is said to be a protector. Just like you." Screwy says.
"Wow. Can you show it to me?" I ask.
"Sure." Screwy says, standing up and summoning her staff out of what looks like a spacial vortex.
Did she just kamui her staff?
She then taps it on the ground, teleporting us into space inside a sphere of light. "Now, to the Sentinel star." Screwy says, pointing her staff upwards. We begin moving at incredible speed, leaving Equis behind in a second. After a few seconds, we stop, now hovering 'under' a red star.
"Wow. You did an amazing job." I compliment.
"Thanks, I take my work very seriously." Screwy says. I now notice I'm holding something.
"Oh." I say as I look at Monika's token.
"That a token?" Screwy asks.
"Yeah." I answer.
"A book? Okay. Hey, how many tokens do you have?" Screwy asks as she points her staff back down, sending us back in the direction of Equis.
"Two, I think. Sunset and Yulo don't have a token because they aren't actually Displaced, we never got a token from Whisper, me and Bella found a token from another Displaced back when I sparred with Luna, Jet doesn't have a token, I don't think and then we have this token and I don't think we have any others." I say. Screwy hums in thought as we approach Equis. "Ya know, we should probably tell the princesses that we added a star to the sky." I tell her.
"Good idea." Screwy says, adjusting our course. Less than a second later, we arrive at Canterlot. Screwy undoes her energy bubble as we land on a balcony that Celestia is sitting on.
"Seth? And Screwball? What are you doing here?" She asks.
"Nothing big. Just coming to inform you and Luna." I say.
"Inform us? About what?" Celestia asks as a slightly tired Luna walks through the doors to the balcony, surprised to see us.
"Screwy… well, do you want to tell them or can I?" I ask Screwy.
"No, you go ahead." She answers.
"Okay, Screwy added a new star to the sky." I say simply.
"What?!" Luna shouts, seemingly no longer tired.
"She had a job to do. Oh, we should probably have mentioned that first, actually." I say.
"Mentioned what?" Luna asks.
"Okay, first, do you know that Sunset and Yulo visited again earlier today?" I ask them.
"Is that what all that commotion was?" Celestia asks.
"Yes. Now, a few things happened. The most important of which is, myself and Screwy were elevated to the positions of goddess of creation and god of destruction, respectively." I say, pointing at Screwy then myself as I tell the princesses the news. The are understandably gobsmacked.
"Our duties as these gods are as follows: destroy the old, forgotten and ruined…" Screwy says, pointing at me. "…To make way to create something new." Screwy continues, now pointing at herself. "Basically, if somewhere in this or any universe we come across, we find something that is dead but not yet gone or someplace that is overfilling in the world or even something that could possibly be a threat to the existence of this or other worlds, Seth is to destroy it. After that, my job is to fill the void that that leaves. Making new planets as Seth destroys old ones, filling corners of space where nothing exists or even reviving parts of planets that are barren, hence all those oasises I put in the badlands. In other words, we "make way for the new by doing away with the old"." Screwy explains.
"To help us accomplish this, Sunset gave both of us a power boost. I now possess the ability to produce what I call Hakai energy, or destruction energy. Screwy also now possess better control over her chaos magic and has access to more of it, as well as her new staff to show her position." I say, first making a ball of red Hakai energy which I let fade, then showing Screwy as shows her staff. "And incase you're wondering, Screwy and I are not the only gods. There are others, not counting Sunset and Yulo. So, we aren't alone doing this." I say.
"This… is a lot to process. Are you sure you are both alright? Having this power won't… negatively affect you?" Luna asks hesitantly.
"No, we are both completely fine, I promise." I reassure her.
"I will take your word for it then. Now… what is that?" Luna asks, pointing at the book in my hand.
"Oh this? I was summoned a few hours ago and this is the token of the Displaced I met." I say, holding up the book. "Speaking of, I need to find somewhere safe to put this." I say, thinking of places I can put the token.
"Allow me." Screwy says, snapping her fingers and making the token disappear into a vortex.
"A pocket dimension? Nice." I say. "Hey, can I…?" I begin to ask her.
"Use me to keep any tokens you find safe? Sure." Screwy finishes.
"Thanks." I reply.
"Well, I think I am going to go have a nap, good day sister." Luna says, teleporting away.
"Hmhm. Good night, Luna." Celestia chuckles absentmindedly. "Well, it is almost time for day court to resume. Thank you for-" Celestia is cut off as Luna reappears.
"Did you say you put a new star in the sky?!" She yells
