//-------------------------------------------------------// Nuclear: The Radioactive Changeling -by TheRadioactiveChangeling- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue: Disaster for the 413th time //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue: Disaster for the 413th time Death. That's all he saw from the cliff point. Fire and storms ravaging the entire country. Ponies, changelings, dragons, griffons, and all other creatures were just burning to a crisp as he watched it all happen. He tried to resolve it, he really had. He had tried everything he could think of to beat it to the punch, but nothing was working. He had to keep trying to solve it. Maybe he missed something, or he needed to go somewhere. It was unlikely, but maybe it was possible. He grabbed his pack, and ran for the base. Now the creatures all around the castle had already gone insane and tried to kill him for meat, for some reason. I guess going wild just makes it so that you abandon your biology. However after doing this 413 times, you know everything that happens. He was being chased with spears, axes, swords, and just knives, but again, it was easy to beat them if you know everything. He pulled out the explosive, bit the string, waited, and threw it at the right time too explode in mid-air, and the head of the pony chasing him landed right in his hands. "I'm gonna try to fix this, just...stay sane," He said to the head. He then sat it on the ground, and ran to canterlot. Canterlot was probably the most dangerous place in the apocalypse as the ones in it had actual training. However, they didn't have guns, which He did have. I'll just say, It was a massacre on one side, although the other side did get a injured leg. "Ah... great. Good thing I've gotten used to it," He said as he covered his leg with a wrapped bandage. He then went to the throne room, which he knew where it would be. He enter the throne room, which had the injured versions of the princesses, almost looking dead. "Princesses...I'll try again, and I can do it this time," He said to the bodies. The princesses were unconscious, yet he could tell that they were rooting for him...somehow. Or maybe he was just a narcissist. Either way, he then looked at the door behind the throne. "Mind of gods, Power of Gems, Space of all, Time to kill, Reality is broken, Let me see all the souls!" He Chanted to the heavens. The secret area was then lifted from the wall and out revealed the the machine that had the ability to send anything to any time. He opened the door with the code, 12, and then went to the date console, and imputed the date of the time he needed to go to. But before he could press the button, the ponies came back. "YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE US! WE'LL EAT YOU ALIVE!" One of them shouted. "Gonna be pretty hard. Wanna know why? Cause I'll just SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE!" He shouted back as he opened the window with his Glock, and shot like crazy, but in the chaos, he didn't realize a bullet ricocheted inside the machine and smacked the date console. The date was now march 26, 2016. The ponies were now dead, with flesh and blood everywhere. "Jeez. Maybe I should've just hit the button to operate the machine. Well, at least I'm somewhat safe. Now, let's get this thing running," He said as he smacked the button without looking at the date console. He then held onto the safety rail as the thing goes from zero to 60 in 2 seconds. Blasting through time and space, he realized he accidentally bumped into the place monitor and the machine would now appear in a random location in equestria. "Ahh...Just great..." He said as he fainted for a second. Author's Note March 26, 2016 is the time season 6 of mlp came out. He was trying to go to season 9. Now he has to go through Season 6 to season 9. see ya. //-------------------------------------------------------// Castle (Reworked) //-------------------------------------------------------// Castle (Reworked) "OK. Library, library. Where did they put the library? This Castle looked a lot smaller from the outside," Starlight was wandering the castle, opening doors, and looking around, pretty much everywhere. “Hello?” She said as she opened a gated door. Inside was, what looked like a bunch of Celestia propaganda. She sleepily closed the door and looked away whistling. “Uhh...Anyone?” She said as she opened another door. Inside this time was what looked like a rock farm. She wouldn’t have thought this was weird, albeit a bit confusing, if not for the fact that there was more Celestia and even Luna propaganda. She looked left and right, then blasted some of the propaganda, then walked away, paranoid. She opened another door, only to see a certain purple dragon shaving. "Morning, Starlight!" Spike said, not embarrassed "Whoops! Sorry, Spike! I guess I'm still trying to find my way around. You don't happen to know where the library is, do you?" She asked him, while shielding her eyes. "Next door on the left," Spike pointed to the door next to him. "Oh. Thanks," She said, with a hint of sarcasm. "Acceptance, mm-hmm. Altruism, definitely. Starlight! Good morning! Come in!" Twilight said to her pupil. "Sorry I'm late. I got a little turned around. I still can't believe you're letting me stay here. As your pupil. After everything I did," She said, slightly embarrassed. "Well, I'm not one to dwell on the past and neither should you. The castle is your home now and as far as being my pupil goes I was just trying to figure out what your first friendship lesson should be!" She continued to her pupil. "Oh. Well, it looks like you're really narrowing it down," Starlight said to her mentor, looking at the mile long list. "Oh, these are just the As," Twilight said to her student, while pointing elsewhere, "After this, I move on to the Bs!" which the elsewhere was a giant pile of papers, Which made starlight concerned. But then something unexpected happened. "What in Celestia's name is that sound?" Starlight asked as a Strange sound appeared from nowhere, as a circular machine appeared. The sound stopped as the machine stopped spinning and appeared fully. The door on the machine opened as a certain changeling plopped out with a bunch of green gas also poured out into the roof. The ponies looked at the machine and changeling in disbelief, but the changeling looked at them. "Oh...just great. Well, How are you doing?" The changeling said as he walked out of the machine. Starlight and Twilight looked at the machine in disbelief. What in the world could this thing be, and why is a changeling here? “Uhh...Hello?” The changeling said as he waved his hoof in front of their faces, snapping them back to reality. “Ahh, your back! Alright so, basically, I crashed my machine in your castle, I think that’s what this is, and I apologize for that first of all, But right now the important thing is that I get back to where I have to be. But, before I do that...I hope you don’t mind if I *Yawn* take a nap,” The changeling then passed out on the couch in the room, leaving the machine, twilight, and starlight all alone with a changeling asleep on a couch. “This is why I don’t like Mondays,” Author's Note Surprise! He actually is kinda high. //-------------------------------------------------------// Questions (Reworked) //-------------------------------------------------------// Questions (Reworked) "Ok, so we all go to him and ask 1 question, right?" Twilight asked her friends. "YES! We all heard you the first 4 times! Let's just get it over with!" Rainbow complained. "I hope so. You ponies have been yelling and asking each other for about 2 minutes now. I just need to find a way to speed up time and get a new machine," Nuclear yelled to them, which made them all realize to get on with it. Enter: APPLEJACK "So, uh, Mr. changeling?" Applejack asked nuclear. "NUCLEAR! I Told my name to you guys 6 times!" Nuclear yelled, making her jump back a bit. “Your Memory isn’t that bad is it!?” "Ok. 'Nuclear' what are you doing here?" Applejack said, using up her question. "Well, I don't know if you'd understand it, but I'm from the future where the world was destroyed by something that I'm trying to solve, and this machine, which I think is now broke, is a time machine I can use to travel anywhere, and Somepony stupid smacked the control panel and now I'm stuck here until either I find something to fix this. Or I could just wait until the world is broken again. Although I doubt that you ponies would want me to choose the latter," He explained. Applejack was now confused but also understanding in a mixed way. "Okay... I'll go tell the others that," Applejack said, leaving nuclear to his devices for a few seconds. Enter: RARITY Rarity was somewhat scared and intrigued as she walked to nuclear, who was now actually looking at the machine from the outside, looking for mistakes on the outside. "Umm... Mr. Nuclear? Was that it darling?" Rarity asked Nuclear, who nodded silently as he looked into the power converter. "Yep, that's my name, and I believe I'm don't know you well enough to have you call me darling," He joked, making her sputter. "Ah-uhh. No that's...what?" She spattered and blushed a bit. "I'm joking. I've been to Manehattan and met people like you. What’s going on?" He said with a grin. "Whatever, what are you?" Rarity asked, making nuclear realize that some ponies are stupid. "I'm a changeling. Duh. You must know us right? If my time is right, you guys have been attacked by changelings at least once before," He deadpanned. "Well, yes, but we've never seen a 'changeling' like you before," Rarity answered, making him somewhat frightened. "Well...ok, rarity. First of all, kinda rude, not gonna lie, and secondly, I'm not telling anybody about what happened to me, no matter what, unless someone's life depends on it. Got it?" he explained, then rarity walked away from him. Enter: PINKIE PIE The Bubble gum Mare hopped to the glowy changeling currently flying up onto the top of the machine. "Hello Mr. Nuclear! Whatcha doin?" Pinkie pie asked. "Hi. Right now just Looking around on this thing," He replied. "Ok! Speaking of which, what is that thing?" She asked. "A time machine," He answered. "Ok!" She said as she bounced away. “I like her,” Nuclear said. Enter: FLUTTERSHY Fluttershy looked around at her friends, knowing she was next. She crawled slowly to the changeling, looking at him intensely, not taking an eye off him, making sure he isn't doing anything bad. "umm, mr nuclear?" Fluttershy asked. "Yeah?" He asked, sliding down the pole on the side, which made a screeching noise that made fluttershy uncomfortable. "umm...what is the green glow around you?" She asked quietly. "That's called radiation. Don't stand in it for too long," He answered seriously, making fluttershy move back a bit. “Wh-What will happen?” She asked him “Basically, you could get mutated, sick, cancer, death, or if your unlucky, stuck somewhere completely different. So yeah, don’t be in it too long,” He said, causing fluttershy to move back a bit. Enter: RAINBOW DASH "Ok, this guy isn't getting by my question," She said to herself. "So Nuclear. Are you just a scout from a changeling hive?" Rainbow asked him with a tense tone, and Nuclear looked down. “Heh...I wish. Wanna know something?” He asked her, and she crossed her hooves. “What!?” She asked. “There once was a changeling that was born a bit different. He was a bit scrawny, he looked a bit greener, and he was also very weak. He wanted to be a soldier so he could help defend his colony. Wanna know what happened?” Nuclear asked her, getting a nod. “He was booted out. He was banished to wonder the badlands and was forced to fend for himself in a world where almost everything hated him. It was a terrible fate for someone who just wanted to help his species. Wanna know what happened to him?” Nuclear finished. “Wh...What?” Rainbow stuttered, having a feeling about what would come next. “...He got stuck in a time loop, mutated beyond compare, acquired massive amounts of weaponry, Holds a chip on his shoulder for his whole species, and is standing right in front of you right now,” Nuclear finished and smiled as Rainbow dash floated away, scared. Enter: TWILIGHT SPARKLE She walked to the changeling, now lying down in defeat as he couldn't figure out another way to fix this thing. "So nuclear, was it?" She asked. "Yep. Nuclear. That's me," He responded. "Well...What's the future like?" Twilight asked a question that he knew was coming, but didn't want to answer. "Oh boy. Well Twilight, Sit down here... Now, Are you brave?" He asked, where he received a slow nod. “Well...You’re wrong. Oh, so very wrong,” Nuclear looked down as Twilight’s head turned. “No one, except for those who knows it’s coming, No one would be ready for what happens. Those who say they’re warriors, Mercenaries, even gods will tremble at the hooves at what the world has come too. Mutants are all around each and every corner, Warlords and their tribes are on their quests of conquest to gain as much land, and the griefers are all around, giving the radiation or just trying to kill for whatever they can get. Equestria is a new home for tartarus, and boy does it fit the title.” She was now terrorized from what he had told her, "But why didn't anyone stop whatever made this happen?" "That's the thing. Nobody knows what made it happen, and that's what I'm trying to figure out," Nuclear said determined. “Well, if your intentions are pure, than we’ll help you to the best of our abilities!” Twilight said supportively. “Heh...thanks. I never really had allies before. Let’s see how it works I guess,” He said under his breath as she walked away. Enter: STARLIGHT GLIMMER "So, twilight told me what the world came too," Starlight told him, "And I gotta say, I'm not really surprised," which made him somewhat sit up. "Why would any pony not be surprised?" Nuclear asked. "Well, I've also seen multiple horrible worlds, but I did fix it, although I didn't see yours. However, I know you can find it, with or without our help," Starlight told him. "Hey, Aren't you supposed to ask me something?" He asked "I gave my question to spike so he has 2. Welp, It's his turn. bye," She said, and nuclear just shrugged.. Enter: SPIKE "OK! WHAT IS THAT THING!" Spike yelled at the thing strapped to Nuclear Belt. "Oh, my glock? It's a gun. Think of it like a Fast moving projectile made of strong metal that can pierce through a lot of things," He answered. "Can I see it work?" Spike asked. Nuclear looked to the group and then said, "Ok, but let's go somewhere else," He said as he lead Spike around the back of the castle. "Where are they going?" Rarity pointed out the changeling and dragon going behind the castle, which was then followed by an ear piercing sound of a soon to be realized Glock-47 C. "WHAT. WAS. THAT?" Rainbow dash yelled, worried that spike might be hurt as she raced around the castle, only to see nuclear holding out the pistol, pointing to a now hole in the ground, and spike watching in disbelief. "That. was. something. AWESOME!" Spike yelled to the heavens, who then burped up a mail. "Twilight! Mail!" He yelled to his friend, who then opened it and read it. Dear my Prized pupil, Twilight Sparkle, I have recieved your emergency mail about a changeling and I have sent a 2 guards to watch over him and bring him here if he has proven to be hostile. If he has proven to be more powerful then realized, you must send an emergency mail and me and luna shall come to you and find him. Sincerely, Princess Celestia Author's Note Yeah, pinkie pie's was short, but that was the joke, as you don't need to tell her much to convince her. Yep! I believe stuff quickly! :pinkiehappy: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiehappy.png So.. yeah. See ya. //-------------------------------------------------------// Powers (Reworked) //-------------------------------------------------------// Powers (Reworked) "Okay so while the guards are coming, do you have any other cool things or powers?" Spike asked the Changeling, who looked at him and the ponies. "Well, yes, although This probably isn't the best place for it. I'd need like a, flat, building less area so nothing happens," He explained. "Already on it! Come with me Nuclear," Rainbow said, leading the changeling to a flat lonely area in the field with the the team. "Ok...Ready guys?" He asked them, which got a nod from all except fluttershy, cause she was too scared. "My first power, which isn't gonna destroy anything, is called power replication. Basically if I touch one of you, I gain any spells or skills in your mind or body. Here allow me to demonstrate by having rainbow touch me," Nuclear explained, while getting rainbow to touch his arm, which made a brief orange flash. "So... Rainbow. Wanna Race?" Nuclear Challenged the rainbow maned mare. "Buck yeah! Let's Go!" Rainbow blasted off, only to see Nuclear flying right next to her, with a glowing rainbow trail right behind him, seen by everyone. They stopped at the same spot at the same time, leaving all of them dumbfounded. "Wow. He wasn't lying. That is awesome!" Rainbow Exclaimed. "Alright, and thanks. My Next power is called Power Absorption. This is a pretty common one. You use this spell and drain all the magic out of something that has magic in it. However, I also have Power Division, Which is the exact opposite where you take your magic and share it with either just one person or an entire group," He Explained. "So If you wanted to, you could take all of our magic or just take yours and give it to us?" Twilight asked. He looked at her and at himself, "...Yeah, pretty much." "Anyway, Another power is Matter Manipulation. I can turn myself in any form of matter, solid, liquid, gas, plasma, anything you want," Nuclear said. "Ooh! Ooh! Can you turn into a donut?" Pinkie asked. "Only if you don't eat me!" Nuclear said, which made pinkie nod, and he turned into a donut, with green frosting. "Coooooool!" She Said, and he restored himself back into his default form. "Suree... Anyway, another thing is the most chaotic, dimensicall. It basically can create portals to alternate dimesions and realities, and yes I can go to discord's world, and no I'm not doing it now. The last Time I did that I got stuck in a underground bug kingdom in a so called 'City of Tears' so no, I'm not entirely re-ready" He explained. "Wait, if you can just leave this place, why do you even bother with this place and saving it?" Rainbow asked. "Now, that's a good question, and I have 2 answers for that. 1: I like this place. It's calm whenever the apocalypse is happening. 2: is that, well... eh nevermind, just 1," He answered. "Also, Nuclear darling, How long have you been wearing that?" Rarity asked, pointing a hoof at his clothes and gear. "Oh, this stuff? Just about 40 decades," He said, making them all gasp. "But... How do you look so young?" Twilight asked. "Oh. Another power, Time exploit. I can control any object with time, except for time itself, which is why I need the time machine," Nuclear explained. "But wouldn't you forget stuff when you manipulate time like that, Or do you have another power that counteracts that?" Twilight asked. "Not so much a power, but an object called 'steel mind' I can't forget anything. Sometimes that's a real blessing. Othertimes I want to shoot myself cause I have it. It's complicated, but I'll come up eventually and I'll explain it then," He said, which they all seemed content with. “Anyway, another power I have is called ‘Tyrant’s fist.’ Basically I draw in all the energy from around me, and punch it into the floor. The more energy there is, the more powerful it becomes,” Nuclear explains. “Wait, what causes there to be more energy?” Starlight asked. “Basically just more magic equals more energy. Pegasus gives off the least, Earth giving a bit more, Unicorns gives off a lot, and Alicorns trumping them all,” Nuclear explained, making a bit of sense. “Anyway, the last one right now it called the hyper focus. Basically, it’s not so much a power as a trance. Whenever I enter this trance, I cannot do any wrong,” Nuclear said, confusing the others. “What do you mean?” Applejack asked. “I literally cannot do any wrong. It’s like a foresight. I see everything that happens in the heat of the moment. I cannot be hit, I cannot be shot, I cannot be tricked, I cannot be controlled, I can do anything. Thing is though, I never know when these happen. When they happen in a battle, It’s a perfect thing. When It’s in like, a debate or something, then...well It might still be helpful, and when I just in general areas...It’s kinda useless,” Nuclear said, and everyone was pretty content. "So, any other Unsafe powers?" Spike asked. "A Lot, but I only have 1 that's worth mentioning," Nuclear responded, making them ask "What is it?" "I never said Worth mentioning Now. As I said before for the time travelling stuff, I'll explain another time. In the meantime, It looks like the princesses think I'm attacking you," Nuclear said making them look behind them too see the 2 princesses flying towards the flatland. Author's Note OOH BOY!!! FIGHT COMING ON! Jeez calm down. nah I'm good. Oh great... Anyway, see you later guys! //-------------------------------------------------------// Royalty and Futures (Reworked) //-------------------------------------------------------// Royalty and Futures (Reworked) "Celestia? I thought you said You were sending guards! Not yourselves!" Twilight said, pulling the scroll from earlier, only resulting in a hoof lowering the scroll from her. "I did. But when they reported that nobody was in the castle, or outside, We got worried and decided to see around ourselves," Celestia explained, and she released the hound. "WHAT HAS THEE GREEN CHANGELING DONE TO THOU!" Luna Blasted her canterlot voice. "Ok, first, Slow your mello a little. Secondly, I haven't done anything. And Thirdly, why would you just a-" Nuclear was interrupted by Starlight, "Don't make it worse for yourself," She said. "But I didn't do anything!" Nuclear yelled. "SILENCE CHANGELING! YOU SHALL TORMENT THEM NO LONGER!" Luna Screamed. "I NEVER TORMENTED THEM!" Nuclear yelled at her with the same force as luna herself, surprising everyone, even herself. “IT IS IMPRESSIVE TO SEE SOMEONE WITH A FORCE AS LOUD AS OURS!” Luna yelled back. “THANK YOU! IT TOOK A WHILE IN A CERTAIN WORLD TO GET THIS MUCH FORCE!” Nuclear replied. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY CERTAIN WORLD!?” Luna asked. “VERY LONG STORY!” Nuclear said. "Let's all calm down. Sister, let's listen to the changeling, and changeling, don't lie," Celestia said. "WELL- OH SORRY HOLD ON,” Nuclear said as he held his hoof to his neck for a second and took a breath. “Ok, now I’m ready,” “Wha-What did you do?” Rainbow dash asked. “I forgot to mention it, but I have a little implant in me, basically I can control my volume whenever it suits me,” Nuclear explained. “Anyway, I don't know if you'd understand it, but I'm from the future where the world was destroyed by something that I'm trying to solve, and a machine, which is back at the tree castle and I know is now broke, is a time machine that I use to travel anywhere, and some pony stupid smacked the control panel in said destroyed world and now I'm stuck here until either I find something to fix this, or just wait until the world is broken again. Although I doubt that you ponies would want me to choose the latter," He explained. All of them except for applejack, cause she heard the same thing earlier, were confused. "He's not lying every pony," Applejack proclaimed. "Can you tell us more?" Celestia asked. "Well from what I know the end of the world was caused by, I think 3 creatures. One was a...Horse...Man? It had a black horse legs and body, but also the body of a...Buff monkey? And it had 2 curved horns on it's head that it uses for magic," He explained. "Tirek. Definitely tirek, Nobody else looks like that," Spike said, and everyone except for nuclear agreed. "Another one was a Tall changeling with blue hair, a long crooked horn, a crown, and a few other features. I know who this is, and I think you know too," He said, where everyone else nodded and said," Queen Chrysalis," "The last one was a Tiny Pink alicorn with blue curls for hair, and a chess peace as her cutie mark. So If you know her, Lock her up. If you don't keep and eye out for her. That's all I really know about the ruined world," He said, with some confused looks on the ponies faces. “A tiny pink alicorn? So, someone else gets to an alicorn status and uses it for evil?” Twilight asked. “I guess so. The only thing I saw with them was like a old green bell. I’m not sure, it was from like half a mile away,” Nuclear explained, making both twilight, celestia, and luna ponder. "...Should we go now?" Spike said. Author's Note HAHA! Got ya! Why are you happy? If anything you disappointed them changing the subject. Haha...Oh yeah. Don't be upset, but I Don't want any alicorn and changeling blood anywhere. Seriously? Come on, I, you, and everyone else knows I'd only last like, 4 minutes. meh, Don't sell yourself short. Ah, come on! I wanted to watch that too! I got Popcorn and everything! Your Sick Discord. I've been called worse. Anyway... See ya. //-------------------------------------------------------// Panic and Trains (And still whole lot of 4th wall breaking even if it was reworked) //-------------------------------------------------------// Panic and Trains (And still whole lot of 4th wall breaking even if it was reworked) "So what now?" Asked spike, making nuclear confused. “Your the one who just said, ‘should we go now?’ and now you say that?” Nuclear asked, making spike shrug, and twilight jump. "GAH! I JUST REMEMBERED MY BROTHER'S CRYSTALLING!" Twilight Panicked as she ran back to the library with spike. "Wait...Crystalling? As in the Crystal Empire?" Nuclear asked. "Yeah. That crystal empire. And the reason Twilight's panicking is because her brother is married to the princess of the empire, cadence, and they just had a baby," Rainbow answered as they walked or flew to the library. ‘That was her brother? Wow...They look nothing alike,’ Nuclear Thought. Twilight waited by the balcony with spike as the invitation flew to them. "Spike, It's official. I'm an Aunt!" Twilight hopped with joy. "Great! Now I'm going to sleep," Spike said as he fluffed his pillow and bed. "No Sleepy dragon. We're going to the crystal empire! Oh wait...Should we take nuclear?" Twilight asked her assistant. "I don't care. He's a cool dude. If you are though, You should probably write a note to Shining and Cadence. If you don't, It'll probably take longer to explain to them," Spike answered. "Good idea...Spike! I said don't fall asleep! Come on, we have to take a note!" She exclaimed as she saw said dragon, asleep in his bed, wake up. Dear Shining Armor and Princess Cadence, We are happy to receive your letter, and joyful to oblige to your request to come. However, I would like to warn you, that we are bringing a special guest with us, and you might be surprised to know, it's a changeling! We found him in my castle working on a machine, and recently he has become a great friend. He does look different then most changelings, but believe me when I say he is nice. So don't call the entire guard on him. Also, I hope you do not mind if we bring my friends as well? I assume not, but you never know. Thanks, and See you! Twilight Sparkle Aboard the train to the crystal empire... "So what am I supposed to do when I get there? Like, I know that the royalty would be fine, but what about the civilians?" Nuclear asked. "Well I'm pretty sure that my brother will make an announcement about you, but if not, we will be around you so they can't really think of many possibilities," Twilight responded. "Meanwhile, Why did you seem surprised about the crystal empire earlier? You seemed sort of Curious about it when Twilight said Crystalling. Have you been there?" Rarity asked nuclear. "Well in some previous timelines I went there to investigate if there was something there causing the end. It actually wasn't that bad of a place, but no clues," Nuclear answered but didn't notice the hyperactive pink pony shake up behind him. "WOW! I still can't believe that you have time traveled! What was it like Going through time? Do you have any other objects that are cool? Do you know about the 4th wall? Yep! I see you reader!" Pinkie pie Hopped and bounced spouting out questions and stuff, confusing most creatures in the room. "Well... I'd say it's like bouncing inside a Giant machine you not shaped like you. I do have some other deadly and cool objects, and yes, I also see you too reader. Pinkie's not the only creature that can do that," Nuclear responded to pinkie pie. https://camo.fimfiction.net/DJpQUerQS3v1kqnIvEyNwDIrzPy-yEqQXNrinmaALKc?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2Ff3%2Fbc%2F82%2Ff3bc828ef7496ba06c160a54049bb185.png Did Ya hear that! I'm not the only creature that see's you! Nuclear here does too! Yep. I do see you too. And I'll also say thatI will use my gun on a villain, and that the creator wants to have me put in Equestria girls early, and by early I mean In like the next few chapters With all my powers and guns. Seriously? Come on dude, We had an agreement! And Since when did you know how to break the 4th wall? Pinkie and Discord taught me. Yep that's right:pinkiehappy: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiehappy.png It's one of the best running jokes on this site and in the show, how could we not? I'm not amused. Let's just get back to the story...Where were we... Ahh, here we go. ...Nuclear responded to pinkie pie, making everypony else confused. "Anyway...What other objects do you have?" Spike asked. "Heh, everyone get back," He laughed as he got out of his seat and pulled out a small switch with the words, "Power Suit," Emprinted on it. He flipped the switch and a whirring noise began as a suit appeared over him, with his horn coming out of the helmet with silver streaks of armor being slit down his head and neck like hair. A Mask covering his mouth and eyes came from above the helmet and a chest protector appeared leaving everypony dumbfounded. https://camo.fimfiction.net/2gHsydzj6BPkEzi3wKdTdYbGy5yRR9PYUE5MbEL2lm4?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F05%2Fe7%2F1a%2F05e71a57cf012179e7eacebc161650a2.png "This is My power suit. It acts as a method of defense against tons of things. That and It looks Freaking awesome," He exclaimed. "No Kidding! What do I have to do to get one. I wanna use it to smash that stupid tirek and chrysalis," Rainbow asked with expression. "Well, really I don't think you can get one as it's not a thing yet, but if you survive long enough, you can get one!" Nuclear explained, Making rainbow disappointed. He then flipped the switch again and the suit disappeared. “Heres another thing,” He said as he pulled out the same switch and flicked another lever which, emprinted on it, said “Tesseract” on it. Suddenly a Cube appeared around him, glowing a brilliant blue with sparkles and energy coming from it. https://camo.fimfiction.net/7yrJn7d-5S_yQwUGT_BysDr9eYuM_SUMeg00ihAjBB8?url=https%3A%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2Fproxy%2FfaLNWemjEz162-_VUOVCS-oPITDf25IFdlIt9ZjCAqwsjrNh3l0xbOmoOQqwOvyWnea-TRbwCdapxaG_nqZkPzCxIGHviAfQtkPvS_AJ7YaXQxUH2lkH-YEE176X6M6Nvq8mU1OfbKqC7bTpmqa_uJ7mvPFieY7PuorZtm0uzidalOkdRQJXgwtK “This is the tesseract. Basically I can either be in this, or make someone else be in this. It’s indestructible from the inside, and outside. It’s basically the world’s best panic room, or best Prison cell!” Nuclear proclaimed. “Wow...I’m getting a big magical force from this,” Twilight said. “Right I forgot, this can also be used as a conductor. It generates tons of magical energy for, really anything you want,” Nuclear said as he turned it off. “Wait, why haven’t you used any of these against the 3 baddies?” Spike asked. “Well, by the time I get to where they are, It’s too late. The world is toast. I’m always in the wrong place when they do their thing,” Nuclear said before he heard the train go BRRRRR (HAHA) "Ahh! We're here!" Author's Note (The picture used in this chapter I cannot get the link to, for some reason, and if anyone knows the creator of said picture and is able to get to them, I can talk to them about it) Well that was action packed am I right? Not really. I mean, yeah they saw the suit but that's really it. Killjoy. But hey, at least the 4th wall thing happened. Yeah true And It was fun! Whatever pinkie. Anyway, see you guys and girls later! //-------------------------------------------------------// The Gleaming Empire (Reworked) //-------------------------------------------------------// The Gleaming Empire (Reworked) The Train breaks as it pulls up to the station of the crystal empire, With a certain blue maned prince drowsily standing on the station platform half awake. "Shining armor!" Twilight yelled as she jumped out of the train to her brother who then woke up. "Twilight!" Shining said as he woke up. "I didn't know you were meeting us!" Twilight said to her sibling. "Of course I am! It's me, right here. Here I am. Why wouldn't I come meet my sister? Though we have met before, heh-heh..." He nervously said to her. "Are...Are you alright?" She worryingly asked. "Never better! Being a father is amazing! And wonderful, and amazing, and confusing, and amazing, but surprising too, you know? I mean, not that you'd know. You wouldn't know, I know... You know? ...Sorry. I haven't really slept since Cadance had the baby. Come to think of it, she hasn't either. It sure would be great to get a break," He explained as the rest of the gang and nuclear came out. "Wait...Are..You the changeling Twilight was talking about? That was actually a good changeling?" "Yeah. I know I look different then most changelings, but that's a story for another time," Nuclear responded. "huh...Alright. But yeah, me and cadence never get a break with the baby," Shining continued. "Oh, of course! I don't know what I was thinking! You two probably need all kinds of help! I'm sorry, Starlight, but I guess combining your first lesson with this visit wasn't such a good idea, and maybe it wasn't such a good idea to bring nuclear along at this time," Twilight said. Hey! Come one twilight! Nuclear thought. "Oh, uh, don't be ridiculous! You're an aunt now! That's way more important than some friendship lesson, and nuclear might be a more important thing then said friendship lesson," Starlight responded nervously. "Should I take offense to that? I'm confused by what she said," Nuclear said. "I just wish there was a way to deal with all three things," Twilight said somewhat sad. "Maybe there is! I mean you've already done the work for Starlight's lesson with this list. All we have to do is follow it! And I'm pretty sure that nuclear can take care of himself if shining and cadence give him some permission access powers," Spike explained. "Spike, that's brilliant!" Twilight exclaimed. "Yeah...He's a Genius," Starlight said while glaring at spike, oblivious to it. "Then it's settled! Shining Armor and I will head straight to the castle, you two can head straight to Sunburst's, and Nuclear can wonder around and see things! It's perfect! We just need someone to help nuclear with that," Twilight explained while looking at his brother, also waking up. "What!? Oh...Uh yeah sure. I'll give Nuclear a access scroll, I'll tell the guards to not tackle him, and...If you help me I can make an announcement to the empire," He responded with twilight nodding. "Thanks dude, although I'll probably just tag along with twilight to see the baby, then go by starlight and spike, and then just walk around the castle," Nuclear said as Shining gave him a scroll. "Before we go in, I should probably tell you. Seeing the baby might be a bit of a shock," Shining explained to the mane 6 and nuclear as they reached the door. "Come on, big brother. I've met babies before. I expect meeting this one won't be any different," Twilight said confidently as she opened the door. She saw The 3 princesses, 1 lying down next to the baby carriage, and a curled up unicorn baby in the carriage. But the baby turned from cute to surprising as the blanket unfolded and 2 big wings came curling out, with the mane 6 gasping and nuclear eyebrow raising. "Of course...I could be wrong," Twilight barely said. "Huh...You don't say?" Nuclear said. "The...THE BABY'S AN ALICORN!?" Twilight screamed. "It does look that way," Cadence tirely said. "But... But... But I thought Alicorn wings had to be earned by accomplishing some great, princess-worthy deed!" Rarity exclaimed. "Yeah, How can ya be just born with 'em?" Applejack asked. "Well when a guy alicorn likes a girl alicorn..." Nuclear joked and ended quickly when rainbow hit him. "Worth it," "Anyway, The birth of an Alicorn is something Equestria has never seen," Celestia said, Making nuclear raise his eyebrow again. "It is beyond even our understanding," Luna added, making nuclear more confused. "wait wait... Then where did you come from?" Nuclear asked which made celestia and luna look at him and each other. "THEY'VE BEEN LYING SINCE FOREVER!" Nuclear joked. "Wow! A unicorn, and a Pegasus! So she could be a super-strong flyer, and have crazy baby magic!" Pinkie jumped around. "Uhh...Yeah. That's how unicorns, pegasi, and alicorns work, how can I help you?" He kidded. "Well, I know all about super-strong flying!" Rainbow said as she flew in a circle. "And I can help keep tabs on her magic!" Twilight said as the baby sneezed causing a wave of powerful magic to blast through the roof. "Well... You all have fun with that, I'm gonna go find spike and starlight, goodbye!" Nuclear said as he grabbed a pretend suit case and hat and ran out of the room. Nuclear was heading out of the castle as he looked around and saw multiple crystal ponies looking at him. He both expected this, and was used to this by now. So, instead of dealing with the crowd or explaining what he’s doing there, He instead put his headphones on and played his song and sang along. https://img.youtube.com/vi/usXhiWE2Uc0/mqdefault.jpg “We don’t care what they say, we will be here all day, We’ll stay here till it’s over,” He sang to himself as he walked down the main road. Suddenly a hoard of fillies came running out to him and he stopped. “What are you doing here?” “What’s that your head?” “Why are you green?” Some of them asked. “Ok, I won’t be able to answer all of your questions, but I am not a bad guy. If anyone here is wondering why I’m here, I’m totally a good guy. I got the access card and everything,” He proclaimed to the stallions and mares around. “Now, 1st question?” “Who are you?” “My name is Nuclear, and I’m a radioactive Changeling. I’m a hero from the future who came back to save all of equestria,” “What’s on your head?” “It’s called headphones. Think of it as a portable band. Put whatever song you want in this device right here, click the triangle, and it plays through the headphones,” “Why are you green? Are you sick?” “Technically. If you remember, I said I’m a radioactive changeling. Radioactive means that I could conduct Radiation, which is both green and can cause radiation poison. So technically I’m constantly sick by a virus that I’m immune to,” Nuclear finished as he saw spike and starlight near a statue. “Oop, sorry kiddies, but I gotta get to the dragon hero of the crystal empire. Official hero business,” He said as he held up a card with him as a hero and walked over to the pair. "...and that's how we found the Crystal Heart, defeated King Sombra, and saved the Empire," Spike explained to the crowd of crystal ponies as starlight watched from a distance with popcorn, With nuclear arriving shortly behind starlight. "Hey watcha doin?" He asked starlight who jumped up. "Uhh...Just listening to Spike explain why he has a statue of him put up in the empire. Want some?" Starlight offered Nuclear some popcorn, who considered for a moment before agreeing and sitting down. "We Love you Spike! Tell us the one about the equestria games!" The crowd asked and yelled. "Well, as much as I love reliving my heroic deeds, Starlight and I have an important lesson to do, by order of the Princess of Friendship!" Spike explained, which made the crowd leave. "Aw come on spike I wanna hear about the games too! Nuclear does as well!" Starlight said which made nuclear look at her. "Hey don't drag me into this! I just ate some popcorn!" Nuclear yelled. "I know you're nervous about seeing Sunburst, but it says right in step 3, to, uh, 'Deal with your fears by facing them, not by putting it off' and besides, twilight might be disappointed in you if you don't complete this," Spike explained, which unknowing made Nuclear kind of on edge. "Ugh...Fine. Let's just get this over with," Starlight said as the three of them continued to sunburst's oddly shaped house. Starlight stepped up to the door. "Wait!" Spike yelled. "Ugh! What now?" Starlight asked. "Knocking on the door isn't the next thing on the list!" Spike explained. "Seriously? We don't need to do all things on the list," Starlight said. "I know Twilight can be a little nitpicky, but this is your first lesson as her pupil, and it's important that we do it right!" Spike said. "To be fair, he has a point. I mean, I've only been in this timeline for so long, but I know being a student of pupil of royalty is a big deal," Nuclear said. "Fine. What's the next thing on the list?" Starlight grudgingly asked. "It's says 'Before they see each other, be sure to highlight the importance of the meeting'," Spike read. "I'm pretty sure we can skip that one," Starlight said. "I don't know... I mean if we skip it, the whole lesson could go south! And then you might end up taking a giant step backwards instead of forwards! Maybe you'll never be able to learn anything about friendship at all! It's almost like your whole future depends on this moment!" Spike dramatically said. “Well...I...I’m not sure that’s how time or fate works, but starlight, I will say that it probably is a good idea to just know everything you need to before you actually go into the Warzone. I learned that whenever I almost lost my 3rd leg before going into an actual battle,” Nuclear said as Spike and starlight did a double take. “Excuse me, WHAT!? YOU LOST YOUR LEGS!?” Starlight yelled. “Yeah...2 of my legs got, basically cut off, and in another dimension I got some dude named, like tony shark or something, to make me some mechanical legs. In return I helped out him and his friends against a purple raisin dude. I guess since I’m in my original body they look like they normally do. Maybe being a changeling helps out,” Nuclear explained. "Well then...Spike what do we got," Starlight changed the subject and accepted as spike started to read off the lesson plan. "Well, Looks like my work here is done. If you need me, I'll be in the castle seeing what's happening," He said as he flew to the castle. Mane 6, Shining, Cadence, and Nuclear "Dearest citizens, I am sure you are all just as thrilled and ready for this Crystalling as myself and Shining Armor," Cadence said with her amplified voice from the castle balcony. "I'M NOT READY!" Shining said from the inside. "Take it easy! Just pick whoever looks the most like honor guard material," Rainbow explained. "Right...Right...Ugh..." He fell onto the floor, as Nuclear entered the room. “What happened here?” Nuclear asked. “Big daddy shining really tired, must take nap instead of choosing an honor guard,” Rainbow joked. "Ok...Well, if you need me, I'll be downstairs," Nuclear said as he looked around and walked down the stairs. Nuclear was now just walking down the stairs of the empire and into the basement of the castle with the whines of shining and the baby echoing through the halls. "Jeez. I know a baby alicorn is a big deal, but it's happened to equestria like 2 times- and now I see," He said as he continued walking downstairs and into the basement. What he didn't know is that the basement had something that he didn't expec- "Hey I still hear you!" Come on dude, really? "Yep. Why don't we just skip to the good part? You know the part wher-" Just stop! Stop telling me how to write my story. "Alright fine," Good, anyway... ...He didn't expect. "Hmm...I know this place has ancient relics and strange stuff, but still. Is this place too cheap to get some janitors?" He asked himself before the portal came. "OH COME ON! NOW!?" Nuclear yelled as the portal sucked him into it. It was a bright sunny day at Canterlot high, as people were playing soccer in the field, hackysack on the grass, and other things. But let us focus on a certain 7 people. Sunset Shimmer and her friends were now hanging out at the entrance of the school, when a familiar whirring magical sound came. "Do you hear that?" Sci-Twi asked her friends who all looked at the mirror, and saw a green skinned, full yellow eyed person fall out of the mirror. He had green and yellow hair with steampunk pants and a green radioactive Jacket and Robotic shoes. He had sharp fingers instead of normal hands, and had a backpack and belt full up weapons and tools that they didn't recognize. They then heard his voice, "Ok...I'm definitely high," Author's Note HOLY! That was a big chapter compared to some of the others. Anyways, see in the next chapter! //-------------------------------------------------------// Registration...Wait...Reworked? //-------------------------------------------------------// Registration...Wait...Reworked? "So...You all saw him right? He did not look normal, even if he was from a different world...No offense sunset," Rainbow said as nuclear went into the school. "None taken, and yeah. I've never seen any pony like him before," Sunset responded. "How do we even know he's a pony? Ah mean, the sirens were a different species and they looked just like us, even if some of them had ridiculous hair," Applejack said. "True True. Should we ask him?" Sunset responded, as rainbow shook her head. "No Way! He could be just like the dazzlings! Well...Not like them, I mean evil! He could be just like them, and Again no offense, you before Princess twilight came here and, no offense Twilight, You during you being Midnight sparkle," Rainbow Spouted out reasons. "None taken," Sunset and Sci-Twi both said with blank faces. "Well, if he is evil, why would he be coming through the mirror? The mirror is in twilight's place," Sunset said. "Well it wouldn't really be hard to stumble into it, and twilight could be away," Sci-Twi responded. "oh wait! Twilight said that her brother just had a daughter and she would be going to the crystal empire to see the baby," Sunset said as she flipped through the book. "Awww! Twilight's an aunt? Great for her!" Pinkie Squealed. "Evidence points to him either being an evil being, or just someone who stumbled into the mirror," Sunset said. "and considering how weird he looks, I bet he's evil!" Rainbow said. "Come on Rainbow! Give him a chance at least. After all, he isn't used to this place. Let's give him some space first," Sci-Twi responded to her. "Fine. But If I as so see him point one of those weird things on his belt at someone, I'm kicking him where it hurts," She threatened him. Ow! I feel like I've been threatened. He thought at the same time. He continued walking through the school as the kids were looking and whispering to each other. He would've felt uncomfortable if not for the fact that this happens like...Every tuesday. Ahh, Princpal's office He thought as he read the door and then knocked. "Come in!" Celestia yelled from the inside as luna looked up from the computer and nuclear opened the door. Ok, Just pretend your a new student Nuclear thought. "Umm...Hi. I'm a new student here," Nuclear said as he opened the door. "Oh! uhh... I wasn't expecting anyone new. Did...Did you register for the school?" Celestia asked as luna got up. "Oh I uhh, I didn't have the time. I just came here," He responded. "Oh! Well we can help you with that. Ok, sit over here please," Celestia gestured to a seat as she and luna sat down behind a table. "Ok, what's your name?" "Nuclear U. Thorium," "Middle name?" "Uranium," Well that’s a bit strange. His parents must be scientists, Celestia thought before moving onto the next question. "Age?" "uhh...19," He panicked a bit as he said that. "Email?" "None yet," "Phone number?" "Also none yet," "Ok...any medical conditions?" "uhh...OCD, ADD, and Minor PTSD. Kinda sucks,” He said. It wasn’t really a lie. The first time he went through the time loop, he saw his entire hive go up in flames. Sure, most of them were evacuated, but it was still traumatizing. Not to mention all the bodies and deaths from the first few times. After a while he got used to it. "Ok... Parents?" That question struck Nuclear. The only parent He had ever had was the queen, but she was just a green haired witch with no feeling for him at all. “Come on Mom! Please don’t send me out there!” A changeling begged the queen as the guards escorted him to the outside gate. “You’re useless. You cannot suck any love from any being, you have no use to us. Take him to the bad lands,” She told the guards as they nodded. The guards swooped up the changeling as he was flailing about, trying to get them to drop him as they were flying high over the hive. “Stop fighting kid. It just makes it worse,” The first guard said as they flew. “Why is mommy so mean!” The Changeling asked them. “She’s not mean, you’re just useless,” The guards said as they tossed him down to the badlands. ”You’re just useless...” The changeling heard that repeated in his mind as he plummeted to the ground. It kept going until he hit the grou- "Umm... none. Not anymore," "Are...Are you ok?" Celestia asked as she saw nuclear shed a few tears. "Yeah...Just get a bit teared up when I think of them," That was somewhat a lie. He does get teared up, but because of the harsh queen. "It's ok. You're in good hands. We're all here for you," Luna said. "Thanks. should...Should we continue?" "Uh, oh yeah! ok, Emergency contact?" "I guess just the nearest hospital?" "Ok...Why did you choose this school?" "It was the closest I guess," "Well, that's done! You're now registered as a student at Canterlot High. Hold on, I should Get someone to give you a tour. Luna, call Sunset up to the office," Celestia told her sister, who did as obliged. "Sunset Shimmer, Please come to the principal's office. Sunset Shimmer, Please come to the principal's office," Luna said through the intercom. "What did you do?" Pinkie asked in a sassy tone. "Nothing! At least I don't think so," Sunset confessed. "I'm sure it's nothing big," Rainbow said as Sunset got up from the table. "Alright celestia, what do you want with me now?" Author's Note Interesting eh? Nuclear's last and middle name is also a radioactive name! I think You're just running out of ideas now... Yeah... I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Anyway, looks like sunset's gonna get to know Nuclear more then the others. Welp, see ya. //-------------------------------------------------------// A Pretty Rad Tour //-------------------------------------------------------// A Pretty Rad Tour Sunset was walking towards the principal's office. What did celestia, or luna, want with her now? Maybe something was wrong? She'll soon see. "Uhh...Celestia? I'm here. What did you want?" Sunset asked nervously as she walked through the door. "Oh! Sunset! I just called you here cause we have a new student at canterlot high," Celestia explained. A New student? We haven't had one of them for a year. Sunset thought. "Sunset...Meet, Nuclear U. Thorium," Celestia said as nuclear walked out from behind the corner, making sunset stutter. "Heh...Hi, uhh, sunset?" Nuclear said hi. "Y-Y-You...uhh...Hi?" Sunset stuttered. "Yeah, I know. I look kinda weird but, I'm just hoping that I can be friends and beat my grades upwards," He said. “That was a terrible analogy...” "uhh...Ok?" Sunset said, still kinda confused. "Well Sunset, I also chose you to lead out new student through a tour of the school. Don't worry, Everyone's in their classes, so you should have a clear run," Celestia announced. "Ok...Nuclear. Let's go," She said before grabbing his hand and walking out of the office. Shining armor was breathing heavily, even after everything was done. "Okay. I chose the honor guard, picked the purity crystal, and I know exactly who I want to be our crystaller. So, all we need is," Shining armor said. "The baby?" Cadence said exhausted. "We're here, although I can't find nuclear. Probably off with starlight and spike," Twilight said as she came in. "She's a really strong flyer!" Pinkie proclaimed as she came out of the bubble. This Pinkie leaving the bubble didn't sit well with Flurry as she started bawling, which unfortunately caused crystal heart to be shred to pieces. "uhh...A'hm guessin that's gonna make the crystalling harder to do huh?" Applejack said. "It's worse than that. Without the Heart, the Crystal Empire's about to be buried under a mountain of ice and snow!" Twilight proclaimed as flurry so innocently went to sleep. “Okay, seriously, where is nuclear? He might actually know what to do now, right?” Rainbow dash asked. “As I said before, probably with starlight and spike, but I’ll send a quick note to spike,” Twilight said as she wrote a quick letter. "So Nuclear. Why did you go here instead of back through the mirror?" Sunset asked Nuclear, who then looked at her in confusion. "What Mirror? Wait, Do you know about equestria? and if so, all I know is I was in a basement of the crystal empire and a portal appeared," Nuclear confessed. "Well, yes I do know about equestria, in fact I'm from there, and that portal thing is weird. The only way I know of getting into here or back is a magic mirror. Also, Why do you look weird. Aren't you a pony?" Sunset asked him. "Nope. I'm no pony. I'm a changeling," Nuclear said which confused Sunset this time. "Oh, Changelings are beings that are like, shape shifting ponies. We take the forms of ponies, dragons, griffons, anything living and turn into them, gaining their properties, although I'm a bit stronger at that then most," Nuclear explained, making sunset more confused. "I'll explain more later, cause I ain't goin through that for a while." "Oh we're here. This is the main lobby. You can do, pretty much whatever you want here, as long as it's nothing giant. It's also the entrance and exit to the school," Sunset explained. "Huh...Looks like my old house. It, It didn't last long with all the hooves walking around," Nuclear said as they continued. "This is one of the main class rooms, used by ms. Cheerilee," Sunset continued.
