Chapter One: Twilight has a joy ride

MLP: FiM Team up… with MARVEL!

You know that feeling you get when you do something right? Not the feeling when someone in front of you drops ten bits and you kindly return it. That feeling of hundreds of hours of research finally paying off, finally getting the spell you have been trying to master for months perfect. That’s the feeling I’m talking about. And that’s all I feel right now. Times a thousand… NO…. ten thousand… yea, ten thousand sounds about right. Well, that feeling and excitement…. Oh boy, it’s a lot of excitement. When going through some of grey beards scrolls, I found out how time travel was possible. Which was a question that perplexed me for quite a while until I found the answer. You see, time is a boundary that even magic cannot hurdle. But here’s the kicker, space isn’t. I know right? It was RIGHT under our noses, staring us in the face, so close we couldn’t even see it. Teleportation spells are nothing, any pony in third grade magic school can cast some type of teleportation spell, while it is a given that at that level of magic casting a spell on a living creature if far more difficult, but simply casting a… oh, uhm… sorry, got side tracked.

Back on point, For the purpose of this spell, we can think of space and time as the same thing. I was once told that time is a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff, but I’m getting side tracked again… for magical “time travel” try picturing a body full of cells. Got it? Ok, now try and imaging that each of those cells holds a point in time. A point in time can be as little as two seconds long, or it can be 10000 years long, really as long as the “event” the point of time is holding takes. And the “event” keeps being replayed over and over and over. If something different happens, which is bound to happen, the cell splits, creating a different version of what happened. Each of these cells is extremely close to each other. And I mean TOUCHING. All one has to do is pass though the borders of the current universe there in and they will simply pass over to the next universe over. And if my theory is correct, which is all it is at the moment, the closer the cell is to your own, the more likeness they share.

Which is why I am going on this little expedition today, to try and prove greybeards work correct (you would think me going back in time to see myself would be enough proof, but that only proves it IS possible, not how.)

“Twilight, why are you talking to yourself in front of a mirror?” Asked Spike in a mocking tone. I froze. Well, this is embarrassing I thought.

“Never know Spike, I may have to give a speech as the castle when I’m famous for solving the time paradox.” I said trying to brush the awkward moment aside with a joke but it came out a bit serious then I wanted to, making it sound like I meant it. “Ok Spike, how’s that check list coming? Oh, and make sure that my spell book is embroidered in silver. I NEED to make sure that gets through the space barrier or else I won’t be able to get back.” I reminded Spike for about the millionth time. But hey, it’s never a bad time to nag Spike.

“Yea, everything is checked off, now tell me again why only your spell book is in silver? Like, don’t you need food? Or first aid?” Spike asked drudgingly. He doesn’t want me to go, which is understandable, the chance of me not coming back DOES exist, while very small, it’s there. But I already ran the numbers. In the 30 minute span that I’ll be traveling the Astral Sea (When someone teleports, they aren’t simply disappearing and reappearing, they move through the Astral Sea which is like a dimension between dimensions. Though most teleportation distances are close enough to make it seem instantaneous, going far enough to get to another universe will be taking some time.) I have a higher chance of being crushed by a meteor in my own home then something wrong happening. Dark, I know, but I needed something that Spike could grasp.

“Because silver is the only known item that can cross the Astral Sea WITH a living being. The other stuff is just in case. I’m not expecting to use them at all.” I explained with the best know it all voice I had, and it seemed to work a little. He face wasn’t so tense. Maybe it was the fact that I didn’t need to prepare so much for my journey.

“Ok, but you promise you're just going to get there, and come RIGHT back right? No side tracking? No seeing what the locals are like?” Replied Spike.

“Yes, I promise.” I said, getting a little annoyed. It literally had to be the fifth hundredth time that I promised Spike I wouldn't do anything weird in the last week alone.

“Pinkie promise?”

“Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cup cake in my eye” I said, raising my hoof to meet my eye. He took a deep breath and said ok, which for Spike for the last three or so months, was the closest thing you were going to get to care free.

“So then you won’t mind if you had company right?” he said as he walked over to the door.

“What do you mean spike?” I asked, wondering what Spike could be up to too. He opened up the door and there stood my best friends in the whole world. He must have told them to come… oh Spike.

“You can go. As long as you bring the gang, it’s safer than going alone.” Spike was completely serious, but I couldn’t help but smile. I didn’t want to get my friends involved for the same reason Spike didn’t want me to go, which I'll admit was a bit hypocritical, but you know what? And by Celestia, It feels good to have someone care enough to break the laws of physics with you. My eyes began to water…

“Thank you guys…” I grabbed Spike and swung my arms around the six of them. We held the hug for a brief moment but then I remembered that I was on a time schedule. To gather enough magical energy to open a portal to the Astral Sea strong enough to sustain longer periods of travel the portal must be opened when both the sun and moon are out. Which isn’t really a problem, but after the extensive amount of planning that went into this, it was happening TODAY. I gave a quick explanation of what was happening to them, and run down of the rules while we were on the sea. The good stuff, keep legs and hooves in the transport, don't rock the boat... Stuff like that. In the mean time I had Spike go and get the boat. Just as I finished talking the timer above my bed went off. It was time. Screaming and hollering ensued. I quickly opened the portal. The only way to describe it is a whole in the fabric of space leading into the Astral Sea. We can skip the gory details, but after A LOT of flour and honey, we got the boat into the portal. The boat was in every way, a wooden life raft, like one a filly would make in shop class except for the fact that it was encrusted in silver so that it could survive the journey and give me a way back. It splashed into the sea, and the smell of salt filled the air. The Astral Sea was almost exactly like a normal ocean, except the water was a light purple. It about knee high waves which was good news. It meant my mental control over the spell was strong enough that I could converse and still keep the waters at a manageable state. Every now and again, you could see shadowy shapes, no one really knows what they are, but that’s for another adventure. The sky was a pinkish hue, with shades of blue. The stars were like nothing I had ever seen before, it was almost like I standing in side of an Ursa Major. We all got onto the boat, and I reminded everyone:

“Ok guys, remember, while I’m sustaining the spell, no one talk to me, touch me, or disturb me in a way. We don’t want me exiting the trace early and getting stuck here.” Fluttershy said something about how she loves the quite game. The group had one last laugh and then the portal started to close, so I started to enter my meditation state. The Boat started to rock slower due to the waves slowly leveling down as my concentration grew. Just as the portal was about to close, a large crash occurred at the other side, forcing the whole portal to shake, a loud boom echoed throughout the sea. My concentration snapped. For a brief moment my hold on the sea broke. And that’s all it needed. Any of my attempts to regrasp my hold on the sea was futile; the sea without anyone controlling it is like being in a category five storm.

“EVERYBODY HOLD ON. DON’T LET GO. NO ONE LET GO, DON’T GET SEPERATED!” I screamed. I had never seen their faces distorted in the way they were now. They were showing true fear. This was nothing on discord, or nightmare moon. Hope was lost, and it wasn’t finding its way back. “I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” it was the only thing I could say. This was my fault. I was the reason why we were going to die. It was all my fault. Tears were coursing down my face, but it was impossible to tell due to the boat crashing into waves and water spurting through the air.

The boat was being thrown back and forth, like we were in a drying machine. Only reason we were still above water was the bouncy spell I cast on the boat. But it was going to capsize soon. And it was. All. My. Fault…. It was my fault and I had to try and fix it. “GIRLS, HOLD ON TIGHT. IM GOING TO TRY SOMETHING INCREDABLY STUPID.” I stood up and started chanting out magical phrases and the sea grew even more violent, the already seventy five foot waves nearly doubled in size. AJ was screaming something, probably that what ever i was trying wasn’t working, it was getting worse. But I couldn’t afford to listen if I broke stride with this chant we really were done for. A larger wave started to form; it made the other waves look like puddles.

“TWILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT, THIS BETER NOT GET ME WET!” Rarity yelped. She had been using her umbrella to keep herself dry, and she was doing an exceptionally good job. “On the contrary Rarity, we are going to get vary, vary wet.” I said with a smile. I had started this one a spark. On an impulse. But my brain was putting it all together. This plan of mine could work. “WERE GOING TO LIVE!” I shouted at the top of my lungs. Rainbow Dash looked at me like I was insane, and I may have well been. Her mane was all over the place, you could hardly tell it was a rainbow, rather at the moment; it was just a random spout of colors. The tidal wave was starting break, but just before it fell upon us, one of those shadowy figured showed up in the wave, it was standing just as tall as the wave, it stood on two legs and loomed over us with a demonic figure. It was almost like staring through a window into another dimension, mostly because it probably was. A huge green claw broke though the wave and was coming right for the boat. A blood curdling roar echoed though the Astral Sea.

“Ever closer Twilight.” Cried what I think was the beast. What did it want with me? Who was it? If I wasn’t so focused on getting my friends out of danger, I probably would have been scared out of my mind. Just one thing after another isn’t it?

The claw‘s humongous size encased our small boat in complete shade. It went to grab the boat, but I quickly shot off a magical bolt in desperation. It seemed to make the hand hesitate in pain long enough for the wave to crash back into the sea. The crash of the wave threw the boat into the air. I grabbed hold of every one. Please work. Please work. Please work. My vision started to turn fade to white. We were going through the astral boundaries!

“I’ll find you guys.” Was the last thing I managed to say before we are thrown apart from the force of the wave. We were separated. We were lost. And we had no idea where anyone else was. But we were alive, and on the same dimension. I meant what I said… I was going to find them. It was only a matter of when and how.

Chapter 2: Fluttershy and the strange unkillable man

Part two- Fluttershy and the strange unkillable man.

The first thing I noticed was the wind. Wind didn’t feel like this… did it? No of course not. The next thing was the sunlight. Oh, its warmth against my skin… it feels so good. Wait… WAIT?! What? My eye lids burst open, revealing a blue sky and wisps of cloud floating across. I sat up, only making the headache pounding away at my skull even worse. I took long a look around, trees in front of me… trees to my left… trees to my right… I must be in a clearing. Wow, whatever Twilight did worked. But where is everybody? Oh dear… we got separated didn’t we? What am I going to do? Were never going to find each other… my eyes started to water. Soon enough my watery eyes turned to full fledge tears. I raised my hoof to wipe the snot from my nose… but something was off. What happened to my fur? BY CELESTIA, NO, IT WAS SINGED OFF FROM THE SPELL WASN’T IT!? This only made my tears flow harder… a wood pecker flew out from the clearing and landed on my shoulder. It rubbed its head against my ear to try and comfort me. It helped, the tears let up.

“Th-thank you little wood pecker. At least I know there are cute little guys like you here…” I said, putting out my hoof to let the bird hop over. That isn’t my hoof is it? Oh no, first my fur’s gone… now I have? What? By Celestia, I have become on monster… my face practically spilled tears, scaring off the woodpecker in the process, which in turn, just made me cry harder. After about what seemed like ages, I finally calmed down. I called back the kind wood pecker and asked “Uhm, if it isn’t too much trouble, could you tell me where I could find a pond?” The bird let out a series of chirps and squawks. I understood him as if I was speaking with Twilight, or any one else. There was a small pond about a mile north of here. I can just fly there I thought. My wings felt strange. After a moment I realized I didn’t have my wings… but something felt odd. My head was telling me I did, but I could feel it with my vary being that they weren’t there. It was making my already painful headache excruciating. I would have to walk I guess… I started out on all fours but it was uncomfortable and hurt my back. I had to be daring I told myself… come on Fluttershy, do a stupid… like Twilight, she did a stupid and were alive! I slowly lifted myself up on two legs. At first it was hard to find my balance, but the trees helped with that. This was much easier to move with, and didn’t hurt as much. After a bit, I could walk. And by the time I was at the pond, I was sprinting. Moving with two legs was just as easy as moving with four, if at all easier.

When I got to the pond, I got the first good look at myself. My fur had completely vanished, except for my mane, which was at the top of my body, leaving me stark naked, which was probably why the wind and the sun left so different. My soft pink hair was covered with twigs and leaves. In my confusion/excitement I had simply assumed I was furless, I didn’t even notice I had my mane left. My front legs sat at my sides now, and I had these… things instead of hooves. And for my bottom legs I had the same thing; expect they were much more cluncky versions. Though I had already found out it was much easier to grab and hold things with my new… limbs compared to hooves. Best part of all was that my cutie mark was still on my flank. For being a monster I was enjoying it. I called out to the animals of the forest with a small hum. All sorts of animals answered.

“Would you like to bathe with me? I seem to have gotten a bit dirty.” A smile crept across my face. “This new place isn’t so bad you know… Twilight – my fiend – said that we could end up anywhere. We got really lucky to end up here” small birds were putting up my mane as I washed myself with the water. “This almost calls for a song… When you’re lost all you have to do is think of hoooooooo-“I was cut off by scream… no, it was more like a howl. It wasn’t that far off either. Crows flew off in the distance, and the small birds immediately dropped my hair and flew off.

“Wait come back, don’t leave me!” I yelped, but they continued to fly away. I had this strange feeling of something behind me, when suddenly I could feel a grip around my neck. Suddenly my head was immerged in water. No matter how I struggled I couldn’t get free. I couldn’t breathe. My chest burned as water was getting into my lungs. I could feel the life leaving my body. Right when I was about to give in I was pulled back out. And I was face to face with someone, who unlike me, had small amounts of fur on his body, and covered the middle areas with rags. After a coughing fit, and spitting up a good sized amount of water I said, “I’m s- sorry. Please stop, I didn’t do any th-“ I couldn’t even finish my sentence before he plunged me back into the water. It was an exact repeat of last time. But this time when I was brought out the water he lifted me as high as his front leg would allow, almost to give himself shade. “I’m sorry, don’t hurt me!” I spat out.

“Do not speak.” Said the man in rags. “You’re working with him aren’t you? Good, I likes a hostage. Too bad though, any other day and I would have simply eaten you.” Another man came out of the forest clearing. He had much nicer clothes; it seemed like jeans and a leather jacket. Though, he was equally as hairy.

“Sabertooth! You won’t get away with this!” this new man had metal blades coming out of his hands. The man calling his self Sabertooth held me out to the second man.

“I have your friend Logan, and unless you cooperate, this pond is going to turn a new shade of red.” Sabertooth cried out. I had no idea of what was going on, and I was in pain. I had to get away.

“Help me…” I managed to croak out in a whisper.

“I said do not speak girl…. That is, if you value your life.”

“Help me.” I said a little louder. This time loud enough for the man named Logan to hear me. He remained silent, instead Sabertooth screamed out in response.

“GIRL, I SAID SHUT UP.”

“HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP ME!” I managed to call. It was almost as if the forest itself trembled. Sabertooth tightened his grip to the point that breathing was impossible.

“Logan, she’s calling out to you. Aren’t you going to do anything?” snickered Sabertooth, thinking he had the advantage. Logan just took a long whiff, and looked around him. He smiled, and his claws retracted into his body. Any other occasion I would have yelped in fear, but Sabertooth’s claws around my throat weren’t even letting me breath, let alone speak.

“Sabertooth… I don’t think she’s asking for my help.” He said, with a smug look on his face. It was almost like he knew was about to happen. Sabertooth's snicker disappeared. He looked pretty frightened himself now.

“THEN WHO IS SHE ASKING LOGAN? WHERE THE ONLY ONES HERE.” Sabertooth shouted in desperation.

“No. where not.” Logan said softly. Birds flew out from the trees. Brown bears walked out from the clearing. All of the forest animals came to my call for help. The birds dive bombed Sabertooth and gouged his eyes. Blood streamed down his face. He dropped me and clawed at his face, swapping the birds out of the air. As soon as I hit the water, Logan and the bears charged. Logan dived after me, the bears after Sabertooth. When Logan got to me, my brain was saying no. it was saying fight. That these people are crazy. That everypony here is NOT NICE. But something, something in the pit of my stomach told me he was trying to help. Maybe it was how Sabertooth acted toward him. He grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder, and then crawled back out of the pond.

He put me down at the water’s edge, and said “Stay here. I’m going to go finish this.” he gave me his leather jacket, which I gladly put on. My nerves were starting to settle and the cold wind was a whole lot colder without my fur coat. Logan turned around, his claws back out. But something was wrong. He hesitated. “Wow…” He muttered. My eyes followed the direction of his, it brought them to Sabertooth. All that was left of him was a bloody hump. The blood was slowly spreading through the water, turning it red.

“By Celestia…” I said under my breath. I killed him. I killed something. How could I? What have I become? I looked at my strange new hoof replacements in shock. Logan seemed to notice. “Look bub, he aint really dead. He just looks dead. Him and me share a… thing. Makes us damn near unkillable, we can heal from anything. You just slowed him down.” I didn’t believe him. How someone could be mauled by four bears, and just walk away, it was unbelievable. We waited until the bears stopped playing with the Sabertooth chunks. After watching him for a while, I saw what Logan meant. Sabertooth kept trying to… regrow or something. It was disgusting…. I barfed three times.

Logan walked over to the Sabertooth chucks and plucked a necklace off his torn neck. “Don’t steal my tags again. Or you’re going to have a lot more to deal with then four hungry bears.” He said with a smile. Logan walked back over to me. “Can you walk girl?” I tried standing up. I nodded as soon as I was standing on my back legs. Logan looked at me, from top to bottom. He blushed a little when he got to my still naked bottom area. It was hardly even there, but it was noticeable. I probably would have cared if I wasn’t trying to get over my near murder. Logan took take off the jeans he had around his back legs. He handed them to me telling to put them on, and I did as I was told. “Look,” he said as we walked. “After seeing how you controlled those animals…”

“I – uhm, well” I tried to interrupt.

“Seeing how you controlled those animals, you’re probably a mutant, and I can take you to a school fer…” he went on.

“Excuse me, but I don’t really…”

“It’s not too far, 'bout a 15 mile walk to the nearest town. From there I can call to the school to send the jet…”

“Uhm, Logan? I don’t control animals… I just... uhm... Talk to them. If that’s ok.”

“Whatever. I don’t really care what ya do. All that matters is yer a mutant, and now I gotta get you to the school. Christ what a day.” He continued to push.

“I’m not though... I’m not…”

“Not what?” he said. “Not a mutant? If not, then what are you? Did ya get bit by a radioactive forest?” he smiled at what I think was a joke… I didn’t get it, and truth be told, I really didn’t care to.

“Well… I’m a pony.” He laughed even harder at that, though I don’t really get why it was funny.

“Girl, you’re either suffering from lack of oxygen, or you're just plane crazy. I am thinking both.” But after a moment he just stopped in his tracks. He sniffed me, and then just stared at me. “Uhm... Logan, what about Sabertooth. Wont he … you know… come back to try and get us?” Logan was still quite, just starting at me. After a long pause he finally answered.

“No. he won’t. Sabertooth isn’t smart, but he isn’t stupid neither. He wouldn’t fight us both by himself. But he isn’t the problem. Why don’t you smell? People STINK. And if your good, and trust me babe, I’m the best, you can tell a person’s life by that stench. But you don’t smell at all… you only go back a few hours… you didn’t exist until a few hours ago.” Logan was getting more and more serious, and it was frightening me. I don’t know what I did, but suddenly people were just getting angry with me. First that Sabertooth guy, now Logan. I fell to my knees and burst out in tears.

“I – I don’t know… all I –hiccup – know that I was on a boat with my –hiccup – on the… the Astral Sea… and then there was this big guy –hiccup – and then there was a big wave… I mean really big wave… and then I ended up here…. I’m sorry. Did I… did I do something wrong?”

“Stand up, we still got a ways to go, and you sitting here aint makin' this go any faster.” He said. And I tried to stand up, but every time I did I just lost my balance, my back legs just felt week in the knees.

“I’m so sorry. I thought I learned to use them, but they aren’t listening… I’m used to four legs.” He looked at me like I was something he had never seen before… which, I probably was. It made me feel weird, like I didn’t belong. This just made it harder to walk. Logan picked me up and put me on his back in a piggy back sorta way.

“Hold on” he said. And kept moving forward. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms his neck. I could tell he really didn’t like it, but I didn’t care. It was nice to hold something warm. It was nice to feel wanted. In a way Logan reminded me of Rainbow Dash… in an “I’m Tough, but really a nice pony” sort of way, and soon the tears finally stopped. I figured I would be able to walk now, but I didn’t tell Logan, he was acting all tough by calling me a wimp, and a baby and stuff, but I knew he meant well, so I didn’t care much.

“Alrighty girl, better?” I nodded my head, he couldn’t see me nod, but he kept talking. “Good. Now, first things first. You ever tell anyone I’m doing this for ya, and I gut ya like a fish. Ya hear?” I giggled. It was the first time I heard someone be so nice and so mean at the same time. It was funny, though anything would be funny after what just happened. “Ok. Now for number two. What’s yer name?”

“Fluttershy.” I mumbled.

“What’s that? Speak up girly, you’re practically in my ear and I can’t here you.”

“Fluttershy.” I said louder this time, almost screaming it.

“Ow, fuck. Ok. Fluttershy. I got it. Mines Logan. Some people call me Wolverine. What kind of name is Fluttershy anyway?” Logan asked.

“What kind of name is Logan?” I asked in a jokingly manner. “Oh, I’m sorry! Was that rude? Don’t be mad. Don’t hate me.” I pushed my face into his back to cover up my shame, though what I thought would make him angry, had him in a hearty laugh.

“You got me there. Now, tell me about your friends.” And that’s exactly what I did. I told him all about Rarity, and twilight, and Rainbow, and Applejack, and Pinkie, and Spike. And we just walked, he walked, I got carried. We talked about all kinds of stuff, like Equestria… or how the new hooves were called hands… Logan was really nice… if you ignored 90% of the things he said. When we finally reached the town, he set me down by a small a box on a pole with a black object in the middle. He said he would be right back. He then walked over to the building across the street, after some people saying “Hay guys, wolverine goes out ta tussle with Sabertooth and comes back in his underoo’s!” and stuff like that, there was some crashing and breaking noises. Logan came back out with a cup and what looked like silver bits.

“Here ya go.” He said as he handed the cup to me. It was filled with warm milk…. Angel used to love warm milk before bed. Oh, I hope he’s ok… I looked up to thank Logan but he was already using the strange box. He put the black object next to his ear and put the silver bits into the slot at the bottom. He pressed the buttons in side of the box in some order… it was too fast for me to tell.

“Uhm… if you don’t mind… me asking… what’s that?” I asked. He simply replied, it’s a phone; apparently you can talk to people far away with it… if you have some money and know there “phone number.” I asked it him how it worked, and he just replied that he didn’t know and really didn’t care. Suddenly he started talking. It was weird only listening to half of the conversation.

“It’s Wolverine. Bobby? That you? God damn it bobby, put someone with half a brain… gimmie beast or jean. Hell Kitty would be better then you. No, that WAS supposed to be offensive. Well, I need a lift in the jet, can YOU fly the jet? Yea, ok. Just give the phone to beast will ya?”

We waited for a sec while I guess this bobby kid was giving the phone to someone named beast… what kind of name is that? “Hay Hank, its Logan. Can you send the jet? Yes I know, I WAS planning on walking back but I found this girl… no it’s not like that. Yes I got my tags back. I didn’t. What do you mean ‘what do you mean’? I didn’t fight him. No, the chick did. Yup. Four bears. Yea, and some birds. Yup. Well, normally no, but the birds well… they caught him by surprise. You gunna send that jet or what? OH, and bring me an extra pair of clothes. Yes. Well… I found her naked, so she’s using ma jeans and ma jacket. Yea. Yup, just my boxers. Bring her some too. She looks about Kitty’s size. Yea. And last thing. Tell Xavier he’s going to want to see this.” Logan put the black object back in the box. I kept talking to Logan. It kept my mind off things. He explained what a jet was, who he was talking to… that kinda stuff. Though after while he got annoyed so I shut up. I don’t want to be pushing him… he’s already sitting out here in the cold without any clothes because of me… oh this is all my fault.

We waited about an hour before this jet thing showed up… but when it did… it was so scary. Loud noises and wind everywhere. It wasn’t even close to what the Astral Sea was like, but it brought back memories, which was enough. I jumped behind Logan; who just said something about being a wimp. I watched the black metal thing Logan called a jet slowly come down to the ground.

“Logan… uhm… how does that fly? It doesn’t have wings… like… uhm... you sure it’s safe?”

“Look girly. I prefer to work alone, but if I had to have someone by my side, they would be my first choice… Tell them I said that, and you’re gunna wish Sabertooth had his way with you.” Logan grumbled. Just as he finished a hatch came down from the jet, forming a sort of ramp. Two people walked down the ramp. It looked like one was male, and one was female, but what would I know? These weren’t ponies. The male was much taller than the female, but that wasn’t his defining feature. What was most surprising was that he had blue fur, fangs and claws. Why does he get fur and I don’t? The one standing next to him was a girl; nothing seemed out of the ordinary with her… which to be honest scared me. The only encounters I’ve had with these non-ponies they all had some defining feature. I wonder if that was there cutie mark?

Logan walked right past them up the ramp and into the opening in the jet that looked a whole lot like a mouth. Leaving me standing in front of the two people by myself… they were just staring at me. I couldn’t do anything but look at my feet, which by the way were still bare, everyone else seemed to cover their feet which was completely odd.

“Hank, I think she’s shy…” said the girl. She was holding folded up cloth, it was probably the change of clothes Logan said to bring.

“Oh dear, and she got stuck with Logan? I hope she isn’t permanently scarred.” Said the blue furry man. I think the girl called him Hank?

“Uhm… can you like… I’m sorry, but can you not… talk about Logan like that?” I said, a little louder then I wanted too. After I said it though I instantly wanted to take it back. What if they’re offended? Oh, Rarity said I had to stick up for people more but… oh it’s hard. After a moment of awkward silence and Hank and the girl just looking at each other in shock, Logan appeared at the jets ramp again. Now he was wearing yellow and black tights. He didn’t seem like a person to wear bright colored tights, but for some reason it fit.

“Are we leaving or what? I don’t wanna wait all day.” He said, turning around and walking out of sight within the jet again.

“It is best if we get going. Kitty, could you show the new student the changing room in the plane?” said Hank. He also started walking toward the jet.

“Come on!” Kitty exclaimed as she grabbed my hand and dragged me over into the jet. Any other day and I would have fought tooth and nail to stay away from that thing… but Logan was inside... The inside was much bigger then it looked. It wasn’t bigger on the inside like the police box… but still, it was roomy. Kitty shoved a yellow dress into my hands, and showed me what they called the changing room. It was just a black tube you couldn’t see through. I guess they needed to save space or something. The dress its self was very simple, it was just a strapless yellow dress that went down to my knees, but I felt good wearing it. It felt like I found a missing part of my self. Like I had my fur back. Half way through changing, everything started to shake, and a loud roaring sound boomed through the air.

I must have made a peep or a squeal or something, because Kitty tried calming me down, “It’s all right, were just taking off.” I reminded myself to be strong, I wasn’t going to find every one if every little shake and boom scared me. Be like Logan, be like Applejack, be like Rainbow Dash, I told myself. I took a deep breath and pressed the button Kitty told me to press when I was done. The Tube went back up into the ceiling. When I came out everybody was looking at me. It was embarrassing and I started to blush. Hanks jaw dropped, so Logan told him to keep his eyes on the sky, and Hank mumbled something under his breath and went back to flying the jet.

Kitty motioned for me to sit next to her, and with hesitation I did… I wanted to sit next to Logan, but there weren’t any seats next to him.

“So, I’m Kitty, that’s Hank, and I think you already met Logan.” Said Kitty. “Nice… to meet you. My name… is Fluttershy.” I stammered. Good job at being tough Fluttershy, I thought. Speak up!

“So, if you don’t mind me asking, how did you get your hair that color pink? What dye did you use?” Kitty went on. I couldn’t tell if she was making small talk, or was really interested.

“I… its uhm, all natural.” I said a bit louder this time. This seemed to confuse Kitty.

“Wait, like the girls in those Japanese cartoons?”

“Anime.” Interrupted Hank. Now it was me who was confused.

“Japanese? Cartoons? What are those?” Kitty and Hank were both shocked now. Uh oh. Did I do something wrong again?

This time it was Logan who butted in, “She hit her head and can’t remember anything. She was like that when I found her.” He said with a wink. I gave him a week smile in thanks. I remember his confusion when I explained my situation. I would rather not go through that again with two more people.

“Oh… well, you’re in luck. We got the most powerful psychic in the world at our school. Professor Xavier can fix you right up.” kitty explained. I replied with an “Oh cool.” Come one Fluttershy. Be bold! Do something new! I thought to myself.

“Uhm, so what are your cutie marks?” I asked in an attempt to be more outgoing.

“Our what?” Hank asked without turning his head. His eyes were glued onto the sky in front of us.

“You know… your cutie marks?” I picked up my dress and showed off the cutie mark on my flank. For some reason every one freaked, and Hank even almost control of the plane. Kitty quickly pulled down my dress so my flank wasn’t showing, then she got yelled at by Logan about not bringing underwear. I did something wrong again. By Celestia... Every time. It’s always because I do something wrong. I sat back down and looked at the floor. I was way too embarrassed to show my face. Kitty scooted over and wrapped her arms around me in a reassuring hug.

“Sorry Fluttershy, we don’t have any tattoos.” Kitty said trying to help. I wanted to scream. Why doesn’t anyone understand anything about ponies? Is this world so different?

“They’re not tattoo’s… I don’t… I don’t even know what a tattoo is…”

“Then what’s a cutie mark Fluttershy?” asked kitty. I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to re-explain my self… when I told Logan the looks I got were just plane horrid. Oh… I looked over at Logan for some help, but his eyes were glued to the sky ahead. Be strong Fluttershy. Be strong Fluttershy. Be strong…. And that’s what I did, I explained myself. I explained everything. I told them about Equestria, I told them about my friends. I told them about the Astral Sea…. Everything. It was quiet when I was finished. Hank and kitty were looking at me like I was crazy, which was exactly what I didn’t want to happen. I could already feel the tears swelling up behind my eyes.

“And you believe her Logan?” asked Hank. Logan simply sighed and looked right at me. He said “I don’t know what to believe. To be honest, I’ve seen weirder shit. We all have. And she didn’t exist five hours ago. I can just smell it on her. So, at the moment, yes. I believe her.” The fact that Logan took my side was a big relief. I was able to hold back the tears.

“But can’t shield, like, just clean her really well?” Kitty asked.

“No.” replied Logan. “You can only cover up a sent. Never get rid of it.”

“Well, if Logan Believes you, so do I.” said Kitty in a matter of fact way.

The rest of the trip was Logan sleeping as Kitty and Hank gave me the quick rundown on the “human” life. Apparently, not wearing cloths here is considered weird. I don’t get why; I mean we wore cloths back in Equestria for fancy events. But oh well. When we finally made it to what they called the school I was greeted by a whole horde of people. A strange blue devilish looking man put out his hand for me to shake, but I was too embarrassed and just acted like I didn’t see it. Which wasn’t that hard, everyone was staring at me, so I kept my eyes on the floor. Logan kept pushing me through the crowd, and I didn’t fight him, I just wanted to get out of there. After a series of twist and turns, and Logan threating to rip out bobby’s jugular with his teeth if he didn’t stop asking so many questions, we finally made it to Professors Xavier’s office.

It reminded me a lot of the mayor’s office back at home. They didn’t have any of the same décor, and it didn’t have similar colors or anything like that. To be completely honest it didn’t have that much in common… it was just the way it was organized, built for comfort rather than as a place to show off. While scanning the room I noticed a man sitting behind the desk at the center of the room. He was completely bald, which brought your attention to his eyes.

His eyes were the eyes of a man who had lived… they showed happiness, sorrow, gain, and loss. His eyes showed an analytical side of him, always scanning, always thinking. Though most of all, they showed tiredness, this man was ready to go, he was finished. But he wasn’t done. He still had some type of personal goal he had to finish before he was done with this world. And that wasn’t what was the most surprising… I felt completely at ease. Something… something made me trust this man without knowing a thing about him.

Logan, Hank, and two other people were here along with me and the professor. One of them had an odd set of sunglasses even though we were indoors and the room was dim to begin with. The other was a female, though her skin was much darker then all of the other humans I have seen before. Her hair was in an almost perfect contrast with her skin, a sleek white. Her eyes were the most mesmerizing. Every time we made eye contact all I could think about was the Astral Sea, and those 70 foot waves… I got a grip on myself before I started to cry again… be strong Fluttershy, you got this.

“Uhm. Hello, my name is…. Fluttershy.” I said looking around so that the other two knew I was also talking to them. I would wait for them to feel left out…

“Hello Fluttershy, I’m Professor Xavier. You may call me Professor X if you so wish.” He said in a kind and collective manner. Much like a teacher would to their students; which I guess was exactly what he was doing.

“And I’m Scott, though most people know me as Cyclopes.” Said the man in the sun glasses, putting his hand out for a shake, I was still a bit embarrassed so I just couldn’t bring myself to accept it. Though Logan laughed which only made it worse.

“Don’t mind Logan, he just needs to compensate. I’m Ororo by the way; it’s nice to meet you Fluttershy.” Said the white haired women with a nod. She seemed kind enough. I just wish I could get the images from the Sstral Aea out of my head... I looked back at the Professor; Kitty said he could help me. I hope she was right…

“Fluttershy? Logan said there was something strange about you. Would you care to explain?” the Professor said. Scott and Ororo were quiet, silently staring me at.

“I… I would rather not… if that’s ok? I mean… it’s…” I mumbled. Explaining myself sucked. The looks I get, like I’m some insane clown. The Professor did something I wouldn’t have expected, he smiled.

“That’s quite all right Fluttershy,” the Professor paused as he moved around the table coming closer to me. His body seemed to slide across the floor as he moved. When he came out from behind the desk I saw that he was in a wheel chair, though not like the ones we had back in Equestria, this one was completely automated. “Now, if it’s ok with you, I’m going to look back on your memories. This way you won’t have to explain, and I will have a better understanding of what your situation is.” He said with a smile like this was perfectly normal. I looked back at Logan who simply nodded. I took a deep breath and managed a soft “Ok”.

“Good. Now before we begin, you may feel a small headache as we start off, but that should fade after a moment. Now, I’ll be sifting through your memories, both recent and old… if I come across anything you don’t want me to see, anything at all, simply picture a closed door in your mind’s eye, ill skip it and keep moving. Are you ready Fluttershy?” I gave a slow nod. The Professor brought his hands slowly up to my face, placing his index and middle fingers on my temples. After a brief moment, my head started to glow red hot, but it faded as quickly as it came. Then my clips of my life passed before my eyes, like when I finally learned to fly… or when I got my cutie mark… or when I first met twilight. Me and the Professor sat there for what seemed like ages going through my life. When we were finished I was exhausted, while the professor seemed perfectly fine. He placed his fingers on his temple vary softly said “Kitty, would you come here and pick Fluttershy up? Thank you.” Professor Xavier explained how he wanted to speak with the adults alone, and that Kitty would give me a tour.

Kitty showed up fast enough. “Alrighty Fluttershy, where do you wanna start? If you’re hungry we can head over to the cafeteria. Or if you wanna go for a walk we can head over to the community garden?” The garden sounded wonderful after the day I had been having. “Can we do the garden please? I like gardens…” Kitty agreed, but she said I needed some shoes and underwear first, so we stopped by her room and she gave me some of hers. She gave me some panties and a bra. They felt weird at first, but I forgot about them soon enough. The shoe’s she gave me matched the dress, and I really enjoyed them.

After that had been settled we high tailed it to the community garden, and boy, it was worth it! It was better than the garden as Celestia’s palace. It had all kinds of flowers, most of which I could name, and some of which were completely new. I introduced myself and Kitty to the wild life in the area, which were very kind by the way. Kitty couldn’t understand them at all, so I translated. We spent a good 45 minutes out there, just talking… enjoying ourselves. This was the first real relaxing moment I had sense I got here. But it was cut short.

Some kids came strolling in, and of course, they were complete jerks. It looked like a group of boys, though one stuck out from the rest. It was pretty obvious he was their make shift leader. “I heard your name is Fluttershy. What kind of name is Fluttershy anyway? And you’re out here talking to the birds and squirrels and shit. Is that your power? How lame is that? Were you parents some tree hugging hippies or something? Like Christ, no wonder your hairs pink, your mom was probably on some type of drugs when she gave birth to you.” The boy said, rattling off insult after insult, his friends backing him up with grunts of laughter and hoots of praise. I tried to defend myself, but I just couldn’t speak up. My eyes started to water. I looked over at Kitty for some help, but she was already in the boy’s face screaming her head off.

“WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM JAKE?! DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO TREAT EVERY ONE NEW LIKE A PILE OF CRAP?” Kitty tried to grab Jakes shirt caller but a spark of electricity surged out of his chest. Kitty was knocked down, but it didn’t seem like she was hurt.

“You’re not going to be phasing me. Not again. Now calm your tits, it’s my RIGHT as a senior at this school to decide who gets treated like shit, and who gets to pass off with a clean slate. Now, normally I try to not pick on girls, but that hair of yours just screams ‘poser’ so I felt like you needed an especially warm welcome.” Jake walked over and slowly ran his figure down my face. Just his vary touch made my stomach rumble. “Now then…” he went on, but I couldn’t handle it… before I could even try and keep it down, barf just spewed from my mouth, landing all over Jakes face is shirt. Kitty busted out in laughter. I tried to apologize but over Jakes screaming it was impossible to hear me. “YOU FUCKING WHORE! YOU THROUGH UP ON ME?!”

“Uhm, Jake, we need to bail… like now…” said one of the kids from jakes group of friends.

“NOT BEFOR I BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF THIS SLUT.” Jake continued to scream.

“Your funeral dude.” Said another of his friends as they all ran off in different directions.

“Now come here and pay for what you did you….. You…” Jake said as lighting arced from hand to hand. “You… oh shit.” A Large hairy arm flew from behind me and grabbed Jake by the neck. I turned around to see Logan had showed up and used two of his three blades to pin Jake against a near bye wall.

“Look here bub,” Logan growled. “That ‘Poser’ over there went toe to toe with Sabertooth and won without getting a scratch on her. You can’t even beat third tier mutants in the danger room, let ALONE even look at Sabertooth without… for fucks sake, YOU SERIOUSLY PISSED YOUR SELF?!” Logan retracted his claws and Jake fell to the floor, after trying to stand up and falling off balance a few time, he finally managed to run away. “Don’t worry Fluttershy, that kids got a whole worse coming to him after this.”

“He sure does, the girls are just going to EAT THIS UP.” Continued Kitty. I smiled weakly at Logan in thanks… once I whipped away my tears, Logan continued. “While you’re doing that, could you pack Fluttershy a bag with a change of clothes? And probably get your selves a bite to eat, cause as soon as the professor finishes your uniform, were out of here.” Me and Kitty looked at each other, but we were just as confused as the other.

“Wait, where are we going…? I just got here….” I blurted out.

“Yea Logan is it so important that it can’t even wait a day?” Kitty joined in.

“No, Fluttershy, it involves finding your friends so I don’t you would wanna wait.” As soon as I heard Logan mention my friends, I jumped right on it. I was one step to finding them and getting home…

“So, where are we going?” I asked Logan.

“Xavier says we need to an expert on your ‘situation’… and lucky for you I know just the guy. He’s a stupidly retarded idiot who thinks he’s in a fucking comic book.” Everything Logan was saying just made me more confused…

“Wait, uhm… how does him thinking he’s in a comic book help with finding my friends.” Logan hesitated. I could tell he wanted to avoid his part of the conversation.

“Well, Fluttershy… You’re from a T.V show. Remember those Cartoons you guys walked about on the plane? Well… you're one of them.” I think Logan was prepared for me to bust out in tears, but for once, I didn’t care. I was from a TV show? So what? That just meant we were one step closer to finding my friends, so I had to be from a TV show to find my friends, I really didn’t care. For all I knew, this world could be in a book back in Equestria. Kitty glancing between the two of us, she really had no idea what was going on.

“Who’re we looking for?” I asked Logan. It looked like he didn’t want to talk about this either, but not because it was sensitive information or anything, but it the pure disgust and hatred simply loomed off his face.

“His name is Wade Winston Wilson. He calls himself Deadpool.”

Chapter Three: Rainbow Dash and her Amazing Friends!

Part Three: Rainbow Dash and her Amazing Friends!

“Ayeee, guys! Look she’s awake!” Called a high pitched voice. It combined with the blinding lights above my head only made my head ache throb to a completely unnatural beat. And the shaking didn’t help either… it was like mini earth quakes happening every other second. My vision was a complete blur, but my eyes were slowly adjusting. The last thing I remember was that blinding light back on the Astral Sea… Whatever Twilight was doing to save us worked, because here I was, alive and breathing.

“Where am I?” I managed to blurt out softly. My vision had finally cleared so I took a look around, I was incased in what looked like a stone box, the front having thin metal bars forming a sort of door or gate. Inside the box was a sink, a toilet that had looked like it had been used for a lot of other things then taking a dump, and a bed that had a mattress that was harder than the walls. There was a group of three strange looking animals behind the other side of the bars. They wore matching blue outfits and had a weird gold emblem on their chests… they could almost pass as police officers. The one with the voice that made my brain attack my own skull tried to answer my question.

“We found passed out naked in the middle of Lincoln Park. So we gave you an outfit to wear in the meantime.” I looked down to find myself in an orange jump suit. I frowned; it was the exact OPPISIT of cool. “Normally it’s like… what 2 days jail time and 500 dollar bail for public indecency bob?” The guy who I guess he was talking to just shrugged, so he just went on “Something like that. But in your case, with you being the long lost sister of that x-man guy, arch-Angle? We got in contact with shield and they’re coming to pick you up. Should be here any second now.” The more this guy talked the more my brain wanted to explode. Everything he said just brought up more questions. Where was Lincoln Park? Who was shield? And why do they think I’m this angle guy’s sister? And what was with all this rumbling? Makes my head throb like crazy…

“Yea, but WHERE AM I? I said as I brought up my hoofs to rub my temples, but instead of hoofs I saw… these… THINGS. I noticed the police officers had them too. By Celestia... I rushed over to the mirror above the sink… I really was one of those plump muffins… SO NOT COOL. I jumped back onto the bed and covered myself with my wings to block the officers view, a blue wave of feathers rushed across my face. I was about to cry, and I didn’t want any of them seeing. But instead I only freaked out more… there was no way I could cover the front of my body with my wings...Now my wings were HUGE! From top to bottom, they went from my neck to almost touching the ground, WHICH WAS COMPLETELY AWSOME! I couldn’t even see how large my wing span was due to limitations of the room I was in. Suddenly the rumbling in the background got a whole lot worse. The whole building practically shook. Small chunks of the ceiling fell to floor with a pitter patter.

“Wow, that was my fault… that looked like it hurt.” Said a high pitched voice from above the ceiling.

“It tickled.” Said a much deeper voice.

“I was talking to the building you sat on, that’s a punishment I wouldn’t even give to the kingpin.” I looked at the cops. They were just as confused as I was.

“Got ya! Yer a slippery little fucker you know that?” said the deeper voice.

“Hey, LANGUAGE! Half my fan base is little kids, think about the chil-!” said the higher pitched voice, but he was cut off. I found out why after a second, a giant grey fist crushed through a ceiling holding a skinny red and blue guy. He crawled out the massive grey fist. Instead of running, like I thought he would, he put his feet against the ceiling and wrapped his arms around the fist. He pulled the first until the whole shoulder was through the whole. He then pushed the arm back out of the whole, and he did it over and over again. “Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!” he said in a mocking tone.

Me and the officers simply stared in amazement. Suddenly the whole ceiling caved in, followed by a much larger man in what looked like a rhino costume, which landed directly into my room. “Unless you REALLY want to see a man in tights wrestle a guy 300 times his size in a mechanized rhino suit, I suggest run –” He was cut off again by the rhino dude. Who muttered something about a slippery little bug, then kicked down the wall I was opposite of me and chucked the small red guy like he was throwing a baseball.

The red guy crashed through some glass windows and was only stopped because of a stone wall. He made a pretty sizable creator too. I cringed, remembering all the times I had crashed at top speed. The rhino dude bellowed out a laugh and charged across the street into a mess of people. They all dispersed like a herd of cattle, but one kid, couldn’t be older than six or seven, just stood there in shock. Why is there always one? The kid even had a red balloon and a small teddy bear! How cliché could this get?

The rhino dude slowly walked up the kid, a smile crept across his massive face. He said something but I was too far away to hear him. His hand, which was larger than the kid, was slowly making his way over to the kid. Was he… was he savoring the moment? BY CELESTIA, THIS GUY WAS A CREEPER. I backed up and placed my foot on the wall behind me. I took a quick glace back at the cops; they were still staring at the ceiling, probably wondering how this could have ever happened. My eyes went back to the rhino dude.

He was a big target, easy to hit. “Let’s see what you guys can do huh?” I said to myself thinking about my new wings. I closed my eyes, relaxed, and suddenly… lift off. When I opened my eyes again, I was racing toward the rhino dudes back. He had NO idea that I was coming. I put my shoulder in front me and kept accelerating. We made contact around the small of his back, right before he was able to grab the kid. But DANG, this guy was hard! My head ache was gone, but now my shoulder was throbbing. Great.

The rhino dude flew a good 30 feet, which was pretty surprising considering his size. I mentally thanked my wings, and told the kid to scram. The rhino guy got up slowly; it must have been pretty hard getting back up with that metal suit. “Gha, you back already? God you’re a persistent little insect. Why can you ever just le-” when he turned around to face me, his face went all oogly boogly...No, seriously… There just isn’t any other way to describe it. “Who the fuck are you?”

“Rainbow Dash, I’m new here. Nice to meet ya. Now if you Promise to leave people alone I won’t have to beat you butt up and down this here street.” This made him laugh even harder than before. He just picked up this yellow cart looking thing and threw it at me. It was easy enough to dodge; I just flew up a little higher. But that wasn’t the problem, from the time I took my eyes off of him to dodge the car, he was already standing right in front me. He was a lot faster than he looked. “Come ‘ere pipsqueak! I’ma shows you not to underestimate THE RHINO!” He yelled while trying to swat me out of the air, but I was flying circles around him.

“Wait, your names the Rhino?! How lame is that!?” I said laughing my butt off. He responded with a GHAAAAAAAA, and landed a hit right in my stomach. I always wondered how it felt to fly without wings. Now I know. I probably wouldn’t have stopped but a nice brick wall decided it wanted to catch me. Great, now my head ache was back. “Oh, you’re SO finished!” I said out loud to myself. “AYE BIG GUY, I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU ASKED FOR THIS KAY?” I yelled across the street. Rhino just laughed and started walking in the opposite direction. In one jump, I leaped over to him and landing on his shoulders.

I grabbed onto the back of his collar, as there was a large sized gap so he had room to move his head. He grunted and tried to grab me, but his arms were too large to reach were I was on his back. He gave up soon enough, and sat down cross legged. “Puny girl is crazy, Wutcha going to do? Carry me off into the rainbow?” he said in a “for your information” kinda way.

“Why? I intended to do JUST that.” I smiled and stretched my wings. A crowed started to gather, all eyes were on me. SHOW TIME! “You’re going to regret ever making the mistake of ruining my day. I WOULD BACK UP GUYS.” I said calling out to the people circling around us. I started flapping my wings, slowly to catch large amounts of air. My first body floated off Rhino’s back, and then a little after I then felt Rhino get lifted off the ground.

He was HEAVY; he wouldn’t have budged without these new wings. When I finally got him off the ground he started to freak, waving his arms, kicking and screaming. Too bad you couldn’t hear him over the cheering of the crowed. Soon we accelerated to my max speed, at least with Rhino in toe. By that time, we were high enough to do what I had in mind. The city below was almost like a toy replica. I put more effort into my wings, letting go of Rhino and throwing him farther up into the sky. When gravity started to take effect I grabbed Rhino’s chest so that both of us were facing toward the ground. My head only went up to his pecks, which was exactly the way I wanted it. I then kept accelerating towards the ground. Faster… Faster… FASTER, tilting my wings in such a way so that we started spinning close to the speed we were falling. When we were just above the city’s sky line, it happened.

A Large Boom echoed through the sky, and a rainbow blast shot through the air. Our speed nearly doubled due to the sonic rain boom. When we landed the concrete practically evaporated from beneath us. When it was all over, Rhino was so crushed into the ground his body was still upright. I let go of Rhino whose head was practically imbedded into the earth. I put my leg up to his stomach and kicked him over. He landed with a thud and groaned. My whole body trembled. Whatever pain I was in before felt like a day at the spa compared to this. I almost felt bad for Rhino. Almost.

I managed to crawl my way out of the massive creator I had made. When I got out I saw that red and blue dude from before.

“Are you crazy!? That could you could have hurt someone!” he screamed grabbing my arms to show how serious he was.

“Did anyone get hurt?” I managed to say even though I felt like I had swallowed a jack hammer… and the construction crew along with it.

“No. but you COULD have.”

“Yea but it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWSOME.” I said with a little fan girl squee. “Plus… my Creator is WAY BIGGER than his.” I said with a week smile. And that’s when I lost it. My knee’s buckled and my vision started to fade to black. Great, awake for 20 minutes and you already knocked out again. WEAK…

I awoke to the sound of a knife on the cutting board. Chop. Chop. Chop… “Peter? Peter, I think she’s awake.” Said a red headed girl from the other room. She walked in to greet me. She wore an apron and was holding a cutting knife; she was the one making that cutting sound probably making something to eat. Good, my stomach was completely empty, and I could go for a nice carrot soup.

I sat up slowly, my head still throbbing, but now it didn’t even hold a candle to what it was before. I had been lying down on a couch… what had happened? Last thing remember was doing that totally sick new move then passing out in front of that red and blue guy… Now I was here.

Someone, most likely this Peter dude the girl was calling, came in from what looked like a bed room. He had short wavy brown hair, and he fairly young. I wasn’t to sure what “young” looked like because I had never seen anything like them before, but I had a gut feeling. The way he acted, the way he carried his body.

Something seemed familiar about him… “Uhm. Hi, Rainbow Dash was it? My good friend Spiderman dropped you off here. Said you needed help.” Peter said. That was it! He was the guy in the red and blue suit!

“Did you say your name was Spiderman? Man, that’s almost as lame as THE RHINO.” I snorted out in laughter, putting the same emphasis on “the Rhino” as Rhino had put on it earlier. Peter seemed to be baffled.

“No, Spiderman’s my friend. I’m Peter Parker. This is my wife, Mary-Jane.” Mary-Jane said a hello, and told me to call her MJ. I shot her a smile back as a hello, and turned back to Peter.

“Oh come on, you’re not fooling me. You have the same body type and same voice.” I said. “Now what’s cooking?” MJ said veggie soup, which was just perfect. Peter was a bit depressed, something about how he can’t go one day without people finding out his secret identity.

When I got up to walk over to their kitchen table, I noticed I was wearing a new outfit. Instead of that lame-O orange jump suit, I was now in a red t-shirt and overalls. They had cut holes in the back for the wings to fit through. I wonder why I kept my wings when I changed from a Pegasus. Oh well, I’m just glad I was able to keep them.

MJ must have caught me checking out my new close, because she explained how the prison suit was dirty and stuff, so she gave me some of hers. Told me I could keep it cause of the holes and what not. I thanked her and we all sat at the table. I scarfed down the first bowl of soup, I hadn’t realized how hungry I was until there was food in front my face. We really didn’t start talking until I had finished my third bowl. From then on was question after question. Like, who was this Rhino dude? Why did he have it out for you? What happened to him after he passed out?

Peter explained his whole scenario, how he got bit by this spider, and now he has these spider powers. The whole nine yards. MJ was my interested in my mane. She wanted to know how I styled it and how I dyed it in such. I told her I was born with it, which brought on a little confusion. So I explained my story. How I was really a Pegasus from a different dimension trying to uncover the secrets of time travel and all that good stuff. Peter and MJ took it surprisingly well. Except the whole Pegasus thing. That took more convincing, so I explained about Equestria, and my friends and all that.

After a while Oeter exclaimed, “So, I can finally say I’ve seen it all. I bet the fantastic Four can’t top this!” MJ and Peter spent the next few hours catching me up on “human” stuff to help me fit in while I was here. Peter asked if I could “pose” in some live action shots, explaining he was a journalist, and that his boss would pay top dollar for a few photo’s concerning the Rhino incident. I agreed, I mean why not? A newspaper wants to use photos of ME? COOL! Plus, Peter had done a lot for me, taking me in and stuff, and I owed him one.

Peter went to bed, complaining he was sore from fighting the Rhino. MJ couldn’t stop jerking his chain about how I was the one to beat the Rhino, while he was knocked out behind some dumpsters. The rest of the night me and MJ watched the “news” on this box that had moving pictures, I SO needed to get me one. The news kept replaying my fight with the Rhino over and over, along with some other stuff, but I only cared about that new move. MJ called it the Sonic Rain Bomb. I liked it. Soon enough me and MJ fell asleep on the couch together.

I had a pretty strange dream. I dreamed that I was stuck on this place called earth forever. But that wasn’t so bad, I had found all my friends and stayed with Peter and MJ. It wasn’t half bad. I became Peter’s sidekick and stuff… but only until I knew how that stuff worked. Then I became my own lean mean crime fighting machine.

I woke up to Peter complaining, “Great Rainbow, you’re here for one night, and you already turned my wife lesbian.” MJ didn’t think the joke was very funny. Me and MJ crawled out of the couch and headed over to the kitchen table. Peter served us all some cereal called fruit loops. They were these small little fruit flavored multicolored rings. To be perfectly honest, they were the best freaking things I had ever tasted. After having about a hundred bowls of the stuff I couldn’t help be smile up at Peter, milk mustache and all.

“So hay,” Peter started to say, looking at both me and MJ, “before we head over to the Bugle, you two want to go for some shopping? I don’t think Rainbow can live on your old stuff MJ; she needs something to call her own. Your old stuff is kinda tight around the chest any ways.” MJ socked him one real good. “Come on MJ. Whens the last time we REALLY did something together? I mean other than just sit around and watch Dexter?” MJ looked over at me, smiled and drew in closer to Peter, she spoke in a hush hush tone, probably so I wouldn’t hear but I heard just fine.

“Peter… we can’t afford random shopping sprees. With your Aunt may recovering…. Plus, she has wings… people will notice.” I frowned.

“Hay, you guys. I should go… I need to find my friends any way. Thanks again for the food, and the clothes. Really, thank you.” I said sliding down from the stool. Peter Stood up and kept looking at the both of us.

“Rainbow… look, you did me a huge favor by taking down the Rhino, so I owe you one. Plus as for the money issue, no one got any good shots of Rainbow, so J.J is going to top dollar for anything really. For the wings…” Peter trailed of, waking slowly back to his room. “Hold on, I got an idea.” Peter ran back into his room. MJ just shrugged her shoulders. She was just as confused as me. Peter came out with a weird looking belt thing. “This… Uhm, long story short, this used to belong to a guy called Chameleon.” Peter said holding up the belt. Other than the fact that that Rarity would shave herself bare to avoid being seen in that thing, it looked pretty normal. “Long story short, people will see you as they want to see you. People on the street will see you as some average person, we see you as Rainbow. It’s perfect.”

“So that’s what it was. I thought it was just some dirty piece of junk. To be honest, I was gunna toss it next spring.” MJ replied. Peter tossed it over to me, and slipped it on. A red light appeared on the belt buckle and I clipped it in place. Peter said the red light meant it was good to go. After Peter and MJ put on a change of clothes we were off.

I didn’t get any weird looks in the street, which let MJ breathe a little easier. We got into this small red cart looking thing, Peter sitting up front with a big wheel in front of him, MJ sitting to his right. I sat in the back row, staring out the front window watching other ponyless-carriages charging across the road. Apparently, they’re called cars; they don’t need ponies to pull them. Peter tried to explain the science behind it, I was only half listening. I couldn’t stop thinking about my friends… I knew I couldn’t stay with Peter and MJ forever; this was only a temporary thing. I had to find my friends….

“You ok Rainbow? Everything alright?” asked MJ from the front seat, turning around to look at me face to face. I was tearing a little. I whipped my eyes with my fore arm and shook my head, clearing my thoughts.

“Yea I’m fine.” I said with a halfhearted smile. Anyone could tell she didn’t believe me, but she dropped the topic, so I was thankful.

“Any way, were here.” She said getting out of the car. I slide out from the side, taking a gander at this huge building Peter had called the mall. The three of us strolled in together. As cold air rushed passed by my face as the sliding doors quietly moved to the side, making me feel like princess Celestia. After a moment, I walked inside. Saying I was surprised by the number of people there would be an understatement. The lobby practically had more people than Ponyville had ponies!

MJ grabbed my wrist and started taking me to shop and shop, shoving clothes in my hands and throwing me into a changing room. Each time I came out she would look at my for half a second, simply said “No” and handed me the new set of clothes. Most of the clothes didn’t fit due to my wings, but we somehow made it work. After what was a good hour of MJ picking out my outfits, I finally gave up and picked my own. I grabbed a light blue t shirt, the same color as my old mane and some much darker blue jeans. It made me feel like my old self. After we continued to go shopping, I found myself the coolest leather jacket ever. It had my cutie mark on the back side. I didn’t think that was weird at all until we brought up to the register.

“So, you’re into that whole my little pony fad too… Weirdo.” He said the last part under his breath, but it was still audible. MJ freaked. She probably would have torn the man to shreds if Peter didn’t have his super strength to hold her back. Normally I would have been pissed too, but something was off. “My little pony fad”… what the hay was that?

“Hey… HAY! What do you mean my little pony fad?” the cashier pointed across the mall at a toy store. I ran over to where he pointed, and what I had found was… shocking. A huge wall of pink had hundreds of toys of me and my friends. “As seen on T.V” was all over the wall. I was just some character on a TV show?

What I saw could hardly sink in before a shrieking call for help echoed through the mall. I turned around to see MJ, surrounded by broken glass from the surrounding windows, grasped by the arms of some big looking Black monstrosity. Standing in front of the black guy was a smaller, thinner red version. Drool came out of the Bigger one’s gaping mouth, accompanied by teeth meant to rip, and a tongue that squirmed around, like it was two large to fit inside of his mouth. The red one was more human like, but his limbs were distorted, forming sharp blades out of his hands. People were screaming for their lives, running to and fro.

My body froze, I wanted to save MJ, but something told me to stay back. My head was screaming at my body to go and help, but my body wouldn’t listen. Finally Peter showing up as Spiderman snapped me out of it. He dropped kicked the black one, grabbing MJ in the same swift motion, changing into a backflip launching himself away from danger. Peter was able to lower MJ down the lower floors with some webbing before anyone was able to respond to that little show he had just put on.

I ran over to Peter, The two freaks really didn’t seem to care. “What’s going on? Who are these Spiderman knock off?”

“Long story.” Peter said, shooting out webbing in a V form to make a launcher of sorts.

“Gimmie the short version.”

“Reds ones Carnages, black ones venom. Their fighting, they want to eat each other to become stronger. Can’t let that happen. Bad things will happen. Sound hurts them.” Peter stopped pulling back on the web. “This is going to suck.” He lifted his feet and shot forward, cannon balling venom and sending both of them flying out a window. All that was left was me and Carnage. His gaze turned toward me, he knew his fight had changed. He didn’t like it. Tendrils sprouted from his body, his hands grew sharper, sleeker.

He charged me. Swinging with his bladed hands and attempting to grab me with his tendrils. I was able to avoid most of his blows, side stepping, leaping over him, and flying over to the complete opposite side of the mall. I had only received a few scratches, but he was keeping pace with me. I couldn’t shake him, and this fight was completely one sided. I wasn’t doing anything but running.

Soon enough, I would make a mistake, which we both knew would be the end of this fight. And I was growing more and more sloppy. Carnages right hand blade morphed into a hammer the size of me. He raised his hammer arm into the air, preparing to bring it down, wanting to shatter me with the floor underneath my feat. I was able to dodge the blow my leaping back, but I knew this was it. The mistake had been made. The force had thrown me back, knocking my back against a wall. Even before I could catch my breath, Carnage was back in my face. And I mean, face to face. A warm feeling started squirming its way down from my stomach, kinda liked you had just peed yourself in the ocean. Soon that warm cozy feeling was accompanied by a sharp searing pain shooting throughout my whole body. Carnage smiled, maybe even laughed, as I slowly titled my head to see what had become of me. Carnage impaled me against the wall… as blood dripped onto the floor, each dropping sounding as loud as thunder. I coughed blood all over Carnages face, which only seemed to make Carnage smile every so wider. Was this it? This couldn’t be it. Peters out there fighting venom, and I’m here getting my butt kicked by some creepy freak show right out Celestia’s worst nightmares. No, no giving up. NOT ACCEPTABLE. I wasn’t ready. Not for this lame-O weird peace of trash, not for anybody. A familiar feeling started to course through my veins. This feeling… I know it well. I chased it every day, rarely catching up to it. The last time I had such a feeling was when I did my Sonic Rain Boom for the first time after I got my cutie mark. Adrenaline rushed through my veins. I took a deep breath in ecstasy and aloud a silent moan. My mid region burned in a searing agony, but I didn’t care.

I pulled my head back, at least as much as I could with the wall behind me, and flung it forward striking Carnage. It didn’t hurt him as much as shock him. He staggered enough for me to wedge my leg between the both of us, and with a push I sent him flying. Now the pain had almost vanished, like I had never been stabbed. But that didn’t mean I was better, my body was falling apart. I was barely holding onto consciousness. It was like my body was on auto pilot, acting on its own.

I casually walked over to Carnage. He was confused, to him, I was food. This was strictly a predator and prey relationship. But I broke those rules; the prey wasn’t allowed to fight back. In an instant, his whole world had turned around in reverse. I was no longer the prey. He was no longer the predator. I grabbed him by the neck and lifted him into the air, looking up into his eyes. He struggled and fought, swinging and slashing but none of his attacks struck true. He was too distraught. Peter’s voice kept screaming in my head, sound hurts them… sound hurts them… I had no idea what I was doing, but my body acted on its own. My wings started to beat, but I remained in place. They beat faster, gaining speed the more Carnage screamed.

After a moment, my wings were flapping so fast they grew invisible. All you could see was wisps of blue. But this wasn’t fast enough. Still, my wings continued to gain speed. When my wings got to that point… that magic point when you break the light barrier and caused a Sonic Rain Boom, I made the connections. With each beat of my wings, the sound of a thousand Sonic Rainboom’s echoed through the mall. All the glass instantly shattered, crumbling at my feet. My whole body was surrounded in a soft rainbow colored aura.

My grip tightened around Carnage’s throat as his hands grouped his skull, in a useless attempt to block out the sound. Carnage Screams were almost as loud as the Sonic Rainboom’s… Almost. I couldn’t keep my wings beating this quickly forever, I just couldn’t handle it. Slowly, my body started give way to the fatigue it had shoved aside earlier. I dropped Carnage to the floor, and feel to my knees. I was able to keep my wing’s going fast enough for Sonic Rainbooms for a good while afterwards, but they died on me.

I laid flat on the ground, completely oblivious to everything around me. Not enough energy left to even open my eyes, my hearing was completely shot due me being at the center of the Sonic Rainbooms. I couldn’t see, or hear. The only thing that told me I hadn’t completely slipped away yet was the feeling of warm blood flooding my stomach. Soon that farm feeling radiated throughout my whole body…

I found myself a sort of Pitch dark existence. I was no longer deaf it seemed, for I could hear myself breath. After a moment I noticed I was no longer in my human farm, I was back to my original pony form. “So, this is what it’s like to be dead huh?” I said out loud to break the silence.

“You are not dead Rainbow Dassssssssssh” Hissed a cold blood thirsty voice from behind me. I quickly spun to face who ever had been talking to me. It was no other then Carnage.

“Even in death I’m haunted by your ugly mug!? You wanna go again huh?” I taunted, bunking my hind legs to show that even in pony form I wasn’t going to go down easy.

“Like I ssssaid, not dead. Sssssimply at deathssssss door, which is the best I can do unless you fully accept me!” Carnage exclaimed. One minuet he wanted to rip me to shreds, now he wants to save me? Something was off.

“What’s the catch?” I asked.

“Rainbowdasssh, we are sssssshort on time… I can only keep you from dying for ssssssssso long.” Carnage continued to explain.

“What’s the catch?” I asked again.

“We musssst hur – “

“WHATS THE CATCH CARNAGE? WHY WOULD YOU STAB ME ONE MINUET, AND SAVE ME THE NEXT? WHATS IN THE FOR YOU?” I screamed at the top of my lungs.

“You are my perfect hosssst Rainbow Dassssh. An infinite sssssupply of food, perfect for a parasite like me. Though the catch asssssssss you call it… When I’m not properly attuned to a host, only my most bessssssstial and primal insssssstincts are a shown. Turning you into the beasssst you just fought against.”

“So…?” I asked.

“If you ssssssssshow any kind of weaknessssssssss, any kind of doubt, my Primal ssssssssssside will take no hessssssitation in killing off all your friendsssss and loved onesssssss.” Spat out Carnage.

“HA?! Is that it? IF you ever even THINK that I would hurt my friends again, there is no force in Equestria OR Earth that is strong enough to stop me from completely obliterating you. Understand?” After a short pause and a deep breath I said, “Do it.”

Red tendrils shot out from the darkness, piercing my skin and running their course through my veins. At first it felt like I had lava instead of blood, but that pain soon subsided. After, Carnages whole life ran through my head, like I had been watching TV. I completely understood him, his need to feed… how he came to this earth on a meteorite… Why he chose me. Life forms from different dimension’s give off different energy forces, which is normally so small it’s not noticeable. But the farther you travel from your own plain of existence the more powerful the force is. Carnage, and Venom for that matter, are both beings from the Astral Plain, so they feed off this force. With little no one having traveled the Astral Plain on earth, Carnage has been forced to feed off the life forces of these humans. As for me, I have traveled so far that my body is able to create a never ending supple of the stuff. A perfect match for a parasite like him. But Carnage is only as strong as a host, and before the whole Sonic Wingboom thing (I just came up with the name) he thought of me pretty badly. It wasn’t until after I completely beat his face in that he wanted me. Which, I think is kinda an ass move, but who am I to complain? I mean I’m not dead.

But as I learned about him, found out everything he knew, he did reverse to me. We grew into one. Once I had completely absorbed Carnage, my senses started to return to me. I could hear the pitter-patter of feet; I could see the light from a ceiling light pierce my eye lids. I slowly sat up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes and stretching my wings…

“Mmm... how long was I out?” I asked out loud. Not knowing exactly where I was, but it couldn’t have been any worse than at the all. Once my vision un-blurred I was able to look around… I was back into a cell room. “Not again” I said to myself. Like holy alicorn, I seriously couldn’t go a single day without fainting or getting myself killed. I was really going to have to work on that…

Wait… Who were those people outside of my cell door? Two of them were MJ and Peter (Peter was still in costume, so I couldn’t have been out for long.) But who were the other two? They couldn’t be. NO WAY. HOLY ALICORN. It was really them…

“Welcome back ta’ the world of the livin’.”

“Jeez, you had us both worried Rainbow… How could you be so selfish? Putting us through all of that?”
