The waterfalls roared as the ship laid safely in our hidden cave. It has been about a full week or so since Flash Sentry went kookoo crazy with power and tried to get revenge on the Dazzlings and me. And since then, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata have just been chilling out here on our ship. Of course, everyone has their jobs to keep us afloat. And I mean that financially, not literally. Cause obviously, the ship's doing that for us.
"Anyone else bored to death?" I called out to check if the Dazzlings are as bored as I am.
"Yep," Adagio called out.
"Exactly that," Aria responded, pouring a can of whipped cream in her mouth.
"Can't you write anything interesting for us to do?" Sonata asked, coming up from below deck while I popped out of the Captain's cabin.
"Well, what do you expect? Us to face off against someone like the Devil? We already had to face off against Flash Sentry in combat, so I think it'd be best if we took a little break or something," I expressed as I fiddled with my pen, writing whatever I can down.
"To be honest, I wasn't thinking of us facing off against some great evil...again. In fact, I think you might be forgetting something" Sonata replied in a disappointed manner.
"Well, what could I be forgetting?" I asked, laying my head back in boredom.
"I believe she's referring to your relationship with Adagio," Aria explained. And with that, my face turned red with embarrassment, and I could seldom see the same reaction with Adagio, though her face had more frustration. During our battle with Flash, Adagio and I had a romantic kiss that everyone saw, and since then Sonata kept begging me and Adagio to be in a relationship.
"For the last time, you're rushing things," I explained to Sonata, who groaned at my excuse. As we argued about what to write, and if Adagio and I were really becoming a thing, we heard a disturbing voice from the hidden entrance to our hideout.
"Hello? Anyone there?" The voice called out, startling the four of us. And just like the snap of the fingers, Sonata snatched a nearby flintlock pistol from the stray treasure, while Aria manned one of the ship's cannons, and Adagio grabbed a cutlass ready for battle. Finally, something interesting to write about.
"Who goes there?" I called out, as the intruder descended down to our lair. The intruder had a light blue jumpsuit revealing only his mouth, a black domino mask layering over his blue mask, a large blue-and-yellow collared cape, green and yellow gloves, orange boots, and a big red star on his chest. And in his right hand, he wielded a blue banana like it was a pistol. I let out a smile as if meeting an old friend.
"Blue Banana. I'm surprised to see you here in this fanfiction of all places," I called out, as Blue Banana came closer to the ship.
"I'm surprised you're letting me in," Blue Banana replied, as the Dazzling's steadied their weapons on the strangely colored character.
"Is this one of your characters?" Adagio asked as Blue Banana climbed on board the ship.
"Indeed he is, Adagio. You can lower your weapons now," I said, as Sonata put down the flintlock pistol, and Aria came back from below deck to see this stranger. Adagio lowered her guard, but not the sword.
"So, what brings you here?" Adagio asked, suspicious as to why I'm treating him nicely.
"I heard you guys were bored, so I thought I'd like to drop by with a little something for you," Blue explained as Aria and Sonata looked at each other confused by Blue.
"Who are you exactly? You didn't give us an introduction yet," Aria noted.
"Oh, how silly of me. I am Blue Banana! Leader of the Legion of Doom, and Supervillain at your service," Blue Banana expressed, with enough showmanship to match Trixie's (maybe). The girls, however, could only react with laughter.
"That is supposed to be a Supervillain? I've seen better villains out of a 60s Power Ponies comic!" Sonata laughed as Blue pouted at their laughter.
"I would rather you didn't laugh at him like that. He's trying his best to be a good villain. You haven't even seen what he can do yet," I explain as the girls started calming down.
"Oh, sorry about that. I couldn't help myself," Adagio explained, wiping a little tear from laughing too hard.
"It's fine. I get it a lot," Blue explained.
"So, you said you had something for us?" I asked as Blue let out a giddy little smile.
"I have a challenge for you. I need you to gather these three things and then face me in combat," Blue Banana said, as he handed a small list to me. The list had the following items:
Magic Sword
Magic Arm
Magic Crystal
"That's it? We could probably find that in our sleep. Just give us a time machine, and we'll cross off 'Magic Crystal' by bringing back our past selves," Aria explained.
"I should probably mention a few more things. You need Interdimensional Travel to gather these items, and I will try to stop and capture you," Blue Banana explained, actually intimidating the girls a little.
"Oh, relax. I promise I won't torture you or anything. You'll just be stuck with me for a while," Blue Banana promised, though their reactions remained uneasy. And it didn't help Flash kidnapped them once before.
"Thanks for the tips. I've been waiting to write this kind of story," I explained, tucking the note in my pocket and shaking Blue Banana's hand in agreement.
"Great! I'll see you guys later," Blue waved, as he ran back out of our secret entrance, most likely going to prep himself for this challenge.
"So...what's the plan here?" Adagio asked as the four of us pondered what this challenge would bring.
"We could either split up and gather one item each, or we sick together as one, and gather them one at a time," I explained as Aria stroked her chin.
"Hate to be that kind of girl, but there's four of us. How can we gather one of three items each if there are four of us?" Aria asked as if I would get legitimately stumped by that.
"Answer's simple, really. Two of us get one of the magic items, while we split up and get the rest. And I know just the two," Sonata suggested, looking at me and Adagio.
"Sonata, for the last time..." I was about to explain, before Sonata collapsed, grabbing my legs like a child!
"Please! I just wanna see Antiagio set sail!!!" Sonata whined, getting a reaction out of all of us.
"You really like the pairing that much?" Adagio asked, pondering such a relationship herself.
"You named it Antiagio?" Aria asked, ruining Adagio's train of thought. I let out a sigh and forced Sonata up.
"OK, fine. You win. Adagio's coming with me, and we'll get this 'magic sword'," I explained, nudging Adagio to let her finish up the plan.
"Alright then, if that's the case, Aria, you can take the magic arm, Sonata, you take the magic crystal," Adagio assigned, as Aria and Sonata saluted in a soldier-like manner.
"That still leaves us with one little detail: Transport. How are we gonna go to other universes? I just don't think Blue meant 'go to Equestria'," Aria pointed out, stumping the other two dazzlings.
"You do forget I'm a crazy powerful fanfiction author that can mess with reality, right?" I sarcastically asked as Adagio looked at me like I was an idiot.
"OK, whatever you gotta do to cross us over, do it," Adagio commanded, as I readied my pen.
"Alrighty then. Just to warn you, I'm gonna make us all pass out, and we're gonna wake up in different worlds. It's the oldest trick in the book, and I don't wanna write stories like that because it's pretty dumb, but I don't think we have enough time to get to the portal and explain everything to Sunset," I explained.
"Excuse me? I didn't get that middle part. Could you maybe--" Sonata asked, before a sweeping feeling passed over all four of us, knocking us all out simultaneously. And wherever we were going, it had to be worth it.
A Galaxy far, far away...
Adagio slowly opened her eyes as she found me gazing into her eyes.
"Adagio? You up yet?" I asked as Adagio rubbed her temple after passing out as if being hit on the head. Adagio looked around to see us stranded together in beautiful yellow and green fields. She also found us wearing different clothes than usual. She found herself wearing a pink shirt with a black vest, tight blue pants, long dark boots, and a holster containing a blaster pistol. Adagio also examined that I was wearing a rather loose-fit white tunic, tan leggings and boots, and a belt holding a blaster pistol for myself.
"What...happened?" Adagio asked as I took a look around the place.
"Remember? I had us all pass out to get to other worlds?" I reminded, as Adagio got up and stood next to me.
"Well, where are we now?" Adagio asked as I gazed at a rather small city, though it was big enough for us to look for our selected prize.
"Adagio Dazzle, welcome to Lothal," I introduced, as I led Adagio into the city, where average citizens, some of which included colorful aliens, went about their daily lives. We wandered around the marketplace, where Adagio was bedazzled by the strange fruits and vegetables being sold.
"If you think this is amazing, you should see the rest of the Galaxy," I prompted, blowing Adagio's mind to the nth degree.
"This is just one planet in an expansive universe?" Adagio asked, wanting to see more.
"Yep, sure is," I answered, leading Adagio through the town until we got halted by a platoon of rather tall men in white armor.
"Freeze! Let me see some ID!" The lead stormtrooper demanded as the other stormtroopers surrounded Adagio and me.
"You'll have to excuse us. We just got here, and--" Adagio tried to explain.
"Bold of you to assume we take excuses. Take them away," The lead stormtrooper demanded, as the other troopers shoved us towards what was most likely gonna be a prison or a jail of sorts.
"Looks like we have to do things the hard way," I taunted, as I whipped out my blaster pistol and knocked one of the stormtroopers on the top of the head with the butt of the handle. I dragged Adagio out of the mob of troopers, as she whipped out her blaster pistol. Soon enough, all the citizens were running in fear of the firefight about to break out as the troopers aimed their blasters at us, and vice versa.
"We have you 8-2, scum! Just surrender your blasters and come with us!" The lead stormtrooper reasoned as Adagio looked at me in concern.
"Any more bright ideas?" Adagio asked as I looked around. I peered around the corner of the market and came up with a plan.
"I got one, and I betcha it'll work," I whispered, as I got up from my cover and initiated my...I guess you could call it a plan.
"Yo! Stormtroopers!!" I called out, as the troopers lowered their blasters in confusion.
"Your shoes untied!" I called out. One by one, each of the troopers examined their boots to see if their boots really were untied. And boy, were they dumb to check. Stormtroopers don't even have laces. The troopers looked back and saw that Adagio and I have hopped from our cover and made our getaway.
"Don't just stand there! Get them!" The commanding stormtrooper exclaimed as they all chased after wherever we are. But one by one, each of the troopers fell over and noticed something tying their feet together.
"Hey! I thought we didn't have laces!" One of the stormtroopers noticed, as all of their boots simultaneously got tangled up. Sure does pay to mess with reality when need be.
"OK! That should take care of them," I muttered, jotting down the final touches of my trick down in my notebook as Adagio checked around the alleyway for incoming troopers.
"Who were those guys?" Adagio asked, as I immediately remembered she doesn't exactly get my references. A lot.
"Those were Imperial Stormtroopers. They're basically the bad guys. That's the best way I can explain it," I said, as we wandered around the alleyway for a new advantage.
"AntiBronyBenSwolo, Fanfiction writer, manipulator of reality, and slayer of 'the bad guys'," Adagio Dazzle joked, as I rolled my eyes.
"Well, it's much more than Stormtroopers we have to worry about," I said, as I looked at the corner of my eye and noticed a free ship giveaway just around the corner. I gave a cheeky smile as Adagio followed me to the giveaway.
"Sure is convenient a spaceship giveaway is even going on, huh?" Adagio commented as I went up to the stand.
"And by convenient, you mean...?" I asked, holding up my trusty notebook. Adagio sighed.
"Hello. Would you like to own your own starship?" The droid at the counter offered. I'm surprised it was a droid, as I was thinking of making it a human or something, but there's no time for that.
"Yes please," Adagio said before I could say it.
"What model would you like your ship to be?" The droid asked, displaying various ships of different shapes and sizes. Many of them confused Adagio, as she couldn't imagine what each ship was capable of. And to be honest, I was feeling the same way. There were so many ships to choose from. Except there was one recognizable ship that stood out. One that I could not pass up the opportunity for.
"We'll take the YT-1300 Correllian Freighter," I decided as Adagio tried to look for the one I selected. Suddenly, the holograms deactivated, leaving the freighter of my choice open, as the droid examined my choice.
"YT-1300 Correllian Freighter: a vintage model most that are most known for the vessel known as the Millennium Falcon," The droid recapped.
"You know this means absolutely nothing to me, right?" Adagio asked as I was bedazzled by the hologram.
"We'll take it," I smiled as if I was a child opening presents.
"Am I just filler here?" Adagio asked once more as if I forgot about her. Jokes on her, if I forgot about her, I wouldn't still give her dialogue.
"And would you like to name this particular vessel?" The droid offered, as my face lit up like a tree in winter.
"Hey, I kinda have nothing to do, so you mind if I name it?" Adagio asked, as my face broke down in happiness. We basically have our own Millennium Falcon now! I think I'm having a bit too much fun on this adventure.
"Sure, go ahead," I said, letting her have this opportunity. Adagio examined our new ship carefully, as she pondered a new name. She stroked her name as she thought up a good name for our vessel, considering the mission we're on.
"How about the Scavenger?" Adagio asked as I looked over at her and thought the name over. It did fit, seeing as we're on a Scavenger hunt. So, I didn't see why not.
"Sure thing," I answered.
"Very good. Your hangar is 2-8B. 2 Ships down the left from here. Can't miss it," The droid instructed as he tossed the keys to Adagio and the two of us headed on our way there.
"Our own ship. I can't believe it! Can this day get even better?" I muttered with glee. Adagio looked on at me like she would look at Sonata with Tacos galore.
"I haven't seen you fanboy this much in one go. Care to explain why you're so excited?" Adagio asked.
"Well, I've always been a fan of this world since I was young. It's the reason why I call myself AntiBronyBenSwolo to begin with. At least in this fanfiction's timeline," I expressed as we ran into a couple of familiar faces. Or should I say helmets?
"Stop those two! Blast them!" The stormtroopers ordered as they opened fire at us, but luckily, I had plenty of plot armor to spare. We quickly ran for our newly christened Scavenger (and boy was she a beaut) and hopped on board the ship. She was a newer model of a freighter, with shiny white wall and reflective lights that made the whole place feel like a whole lot roomier. We made it to the cockpit of the ship, and Adagio was too worried about starting up a ship, so she just let me do all the flying. But I wasn't faring too too well either. It was a rocky ride, but I'm just relieved we made it out of Lothol's Atmosphere and into orbit.
"Well, that was fun," Adagio said, as she breathed relieved sighs as if she just ran a marathon. I wipe my forehead and chuckled.
"Well, we got our ship, now let's see what we have to find here," I noted as I opened up my notebook to retrace my steps.
"We're looking for a magical sword, right?" Adagio reminded me, as I re-read the previous chapter.
"Yep. And this place is the perfect place to do it. We don't just get a magical sword, we get to wield the power of the most infamous sword of all: the Lightsaber," I announced, as I...somewhat attempted to plot a course. It's much easier to narrate me plotting it than it is actually plotting it so I have a better chance of success.
"Well, should we check the progress of Aria and Sonata? I just don't want to get them hurt is all," Adagio asked, as my brain dipped down. I admit that I am a bit embarrassed that I completely forgot about those two.
"Quite right," I sighed, as I put the Scavenger into autopilot and decided to narrate the other Dazzling's escapades.
