Equestria and the Kingdom of science chapter 4: Senku awakens some exposition and returning to the castle
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Senku!" Sunset yelled as she gave her friend a bone-crushing hug "you're ok!"
"Not exactly going to stay that way if you keep squeezing." Senku managed. "Might crack some ribs Sunny!"
Realizing how fast Senku recovered, Sunset let go. "How are you awake?! Magic exhaustion like that doesn't just go away within a few minutes."
"Normally that would be true but I have the powers of The Gamer." Senku said, "That means I have Gamers mind and Gamer's body. I can't exactly go into a state of Mind Down just a mana recovery sleep. Add on to that that I am now able to manipulate destiny with my words. I found out all of that while I was asleep since I saw a tips and tricks thing on the loading screen I saw." Senku got up off the couch looking to Sunset. "That means that if I'm not careful I can alter reality on a level similar to Discord with just my words."
"Well, then that's horrifying to learn," Sunset said a far-off look in her eyes before snapping back to reality. "Have you changed anything so far?"
That made Senku think back and a realization hit her. "Probably just one small thing. I think I gave Torch a reason to know Celestia before becoming dragonlord by working as her personal diplomatic chef." Senku admitted.
"Torch did work as a chef for Celestia but not one for the diplomats; he was a personal meat Chief," Sunset said casually. "He would supervise the other chefs that were working for other races that ate meat during diplomatic events but never in a full-on official capacity."
"Huh Guess that my reality-altering abilities don't work exactly as I thought. They just line things up with stuff that already happened." Senku said relief evident in her expression which quickly turned to dread. "But that may just be because I haven't actively put power into them. If I try I could alter time and space on the level that Discord can. I just gonna have to keep my theories from actually coming true by not putting power into my words when I theorycraft."
"Well if it's an ability inherent to your element it may work like the geodes that we had in our world," Fluttershy said with a small smile. "They worked by having the one they're bonded to wear them to access the extra powers they gave. So if you aren't wearing your element while theorycrafting you have a good chance to not use your elemental ability."
"Good point Flutters," Senku said. "It seems that my Element doesn't give me a power based on my cutiemark. At least not the most direct interpretation of my cutiemark based on my experience and who I became when I entered this world."
"You're not from this world too?!" Fluttershy asked. "That would explain the fact that you resemble a character from a manga I read back on earth, Dr. Stone. And the fact that you're female instead of the canonical male Senku."
"Technically I'm both, I'm a hermaphrodite. Sunset is too." Senku looked at Fluttershy's dress, noticing the tip of her dick poking out from under her skirt. "And I can see from your loose-fitting outfit that you are too."
"EEP!" Fluttershy exclaimed as she began trying to cover up her rapidly hardening member. "I-it was so something I woke up within this cottage along with the medical supplies!" The alicorn blushed heavily as her efforts to hide her addition backfired. The contact arousing her instead. "Oh, dear..."
"Damn that's a monster," Sunset said, looking at Fluttershy's tented skirt. "Think you match her Senku?"
"If I want to I can but I'd rather not test the mod just yet," Senku said as she moved to the window. "If you don't mind I'll take care of your problem Shy."
"I'd rather you not play with my mother Miss." Came a voice from the window. "She's still not used to her new form and with the medical supplies in this house, we don't need any accidents." In response, Senku and Sunset turned to the window to see Angel in his Monster form standing there with his arms crossed. "Well Sunset you meet some interesting people and I have to deal with them." He said.
Noticing Sunset and Senku's stares Fluttershy quickly blushed "Angel you're scaring them!" She scolded. "Transform back and come inside!"
"Mom!" He began pouting, the look of which was somewhat disturbing coming from his monstrous visage.
"Not the time Angel," Fluttershy said. "Besides now that we know that Sunset is here we should also assume the rest of our friends are too." The Nightmare rabbit quickly transformed back into his smaller form and hopped back into the cottage. "Thank you Angel I know our relationship has changed since you returned to me but if we can find the others we both can be safer. I just hope that they're alive."
"I can confirm that they are," Senku said as she pulled up her Party-list. "They might be the versions native to this world but they are on this planet at least since they confirmed their invites."
"So that's what that was!" Fluttershy exclaimed as she opened her own menu pulling out a yellow and pink gauntlet. "I got a Pipbuck soon after that box thing popped up. Was that a result of the mods installed or console commands?" Fluttershy strapped her Pipbuck on and it began the bonding sequence needed to use the injection features and Vats. Her face showed minor pain from the process but soon that faded along with her hardon.
"Bit of both," Senku admitted sheepishly, having forgotten that a Pipbuck bonded with you. "The mod 'Fallout addons' is the basis of the menus I use. That's also why I have my laser weapons and the armor Sunny and I are wearing."
"That's nice," Fluttershy said with a blush as she eyed the form-fitting undersuits both Senku and Sunset wore. "Do you have something for me? I assume you made one set for each of the elements but if not I can wait."
Sunset noticed how unshy Fluttershy was acting and began to worry. "Uh, Fluttershy?" She asked and after receiving a hum of acknowledgment she continued. "How come you're so comfortable talking with Senku? No offense but you're usually well shy when meeting new people."
"It's simple, I'm a pony now," Fluttershy replied, gesturing to herself. "After meeting my pony self and talking to her through your journal over the years we both became more confident." Fluttershy spread her wings slightly as she talked. "Now that I'm a pony myself I can help other adorable ponies with my advanced medical training. That and the fact I'm talking to a real-life anime and manga character in a similar situation to us with a similar nature but a better mask also helps."
Sunset stood gobsmacked. "That's a fair point." Shaking off her shock Sunset noticed a closed-off doorway. "What's in here?"
"Oh, that's where I keep the petrified Swallows I find," Fluttershy replied. "I could tell that they were alive thanks to my geode."
"How does that allow you to tell if they're alive?" Senku asked as the trio of ponies and the nightmare lagomorph entered the large storage room with shelves filled with hundreds of stone swallows. "It only lets you talk to animals right?"
"At first that was true but over the years back on our earth the gem's power grew." Fluttershy walked over to a particular statue-like swallow. "It grew strong enough to allow me to delve into an animal's mind to better understand what they were saying." She picked up the figure and a pink glow appeared for a moment around the statue. "A side effect of this is that I can detect the medical situation of each animal I talk to. Something I made use of at the shelter and later as a veterinarian. The ability still works here in Equestria, that means I know that the stone swallows are alive just in an advanced hibernation of sorts."
"Convenient" Senku said before she remembered that Fluttershy had read the manga meaning she knew the revival fluid formula. "Um if you knew that they were alive and in a hibernation state and you also knew about the Dr. Stone manga why didn't you try making the revival fluid?"
"That's easy I only have medical alcohol which while being one component of the revival fluid I wasn't going to try to get the other component." Fluttershy said "Considering that the other is an acid that can burn through normal skin easily it would be better if I had avoided trying to obtain it for my own safety." She then blushed. "Plus I didn't even think about it being something from Dr. Stone until you showed up. I thought it was just something like a Cockatrice freezing swallows as they may have had a natural rivalry of sorts."
"Good point," Senku admitted sheepishly. "So do you think you can gather up all of your equipment from this cottage and transfer it to the Everfree castle?"
"I think so," Fluttershy said, looking around her temporary home. "It will take some time to put everything into my inventory if it has the space. Even if it doesn't give me about a half an hour to an hour and I'll be ready."
"It should," Senku said, "considering I activated a weightless mod for myself. Partying with me should let you have a storage pocket dimension tied to you."
Nodding Fluttershy picked up a small cup to test it. The cup disappeared as Fluttershy smiled. "It works!" She exclaimed before moving around the cottage storing everything including the furniture in her inventory.
Senku and Sunset were surprised that Fluttershy's earlier estimate was wrong by 5 minutes. It took 25 minutes to clear out the cottage. "okay this place is cleared out and Zecora can move in later!" Senku said looking to her new friends before opening her Pipbuck map and selecting the castle. "Hold on to me I'm going to try fast travel." She said as both Sunset and Fluttershy grabbed her. Once she was sure that they were holding on tight she pressed the button to activate fast travel and right after her horn lit up with magic teleporting her, Fluttershy, Sunset, Angel, and the Young cockatrice to what the area in the main hall of the castle where the Pedestal of The Elements sat.
"Never light teleportation Magic whether it was unicorn style or Discords," Angel said as he shook off the disorientation. "This new version I can say is not half bad, it's only disorientating and not nauseating."
"He's right, considering you don't know how to teleport on your own using fast travel is surprisingly smooth and just a slight bit smoother than initial teleporters are used to," Sunset said, surprised at how easy it was to get back to the castle. Especially since Senku used a teleportation spell. Modified it may have been but it was still a teleportation spell. Something she shouldn't have the ability to do. "Fast travel is just that, fast travel, not teleportation," she said. "It still takes some time in general for your character in Bethesda style games to reach your destination. Are you sure you don't have a few Terraria mods active as well?"
"I think it's more that since I have magic the fast travel system is using the inherent ability for unicorns to teleport if trained in it to work. I do have some Terraria mods but they are inactive as I've never played Terraria with mods besides the OP weapons mod," Senku said as she moved to sit the bed nearby, drained of energy from fighting the chaotic nature of the everfree to get to the point accurately. "and I'm not going to bring that out because of certain devastating abilities that mod brings to the world."
"Now that we're here what's the next step?" Fluttershy asked.
