Ghost Alvasa Out!
Levi Time!_!
Later...
Levi was currently walking through the halls of the School for Gifted Unicorns. He'd come here to check out the library out to see if it had any useful books that may help with some of his personnel projects. Not to mention his presence there reinforced several aspects of his existence, the most important being making sure Neighsay knew he was being watched.
He was currently examining the texts of thaumaturgical medals. Mithril was what his primary weapons were made of and while they were the top of the line and nearly indestructible, they were the best for every situations he was in. What spurred this on was the unpredictable world that Sunset Shimmer had runaway into that laid just beyond the portal. They had no idea of the creatures that called it home let alone the magic or actually whatever they possessed in term of power.
Levi was so wrapped up in his he didn't notice the unicorn he was going to walk into.
"Oof,"
"Hmm..." Levi looks up. One of the aspect of his human form was his height, something that translated into his pegasus form and that he took pleasure in, mostly to scare or intimidate. One of the benefits was he rarely ever if not at all not down something his took full advantage of when reading and walking. Most ponies would usually walk into him and did little more than get knock back on their flanks to be met with a stern glare and then a grumpy *Hrmf*before he went on his way. It just so happens he was barely into the book, this time.
"I'm sorry about that," Levi says closing his book, "Oh Sunburst. What are you doing here boy?"
"Sorry Mr. Ackerman," the orange stallion says rubbing his flank. "I was clearing out my work space. I'm being expelled," He hangs his head low in shame.
"Why?" Levi tilts his head. "I may not be a magic scholar lad, but I know and have seen plenty of your notes to know that you ae more than capable. You work with the portal is more than proof of that."
"Yes but my work on the portal is top secret and due to the Contract of Silence know pony knows about it and any information about is comes off as gibberish to most or something to do with Mangos," Sunburst takes Levi's 'hoof', allowing the much older pony to pull the colt to his hooves. "Its not my overall knowledge either."
"I'd say not," Levi nods sticking his back in his saddlebags. "You've proven that your knowledge is on par with Twilight and Moondancer's, if not a bit above it from time to time with the know how of which spells to use at the same time. I wouldn't have brought you into the fold if it had been lacking."
"There in lies the problem sir," Sunburst points out. "I have the know how, how to apply the spells, and the formulas that much is obvious, but what I lack is the application of the spells. I don't hover the ability to 'practice what I preach', as one of the nobles put it once. I g=have to clear out my workspace by the end of the day, then once the portal is done I'll be head back home."
Levi looks in the room, "Hmm... I have no say so in how the school runs this shit show lad but you don't have to go anywhere you don't want to. I'll speak with Tia on this as this is still her school. It doesn't matter if you can cast the spells or not Sunburst," Levi places a hoof on the young stallions shoulder, "Just that you have the knowledge on how to use them is enough." He looks around, "Lets see if Tia can't get you set up with a proper workspace and not his hell hole of a broom closest. Perhaps you can help me in my own studies."
Levi hands over the book, "Thaumaturgical metals?" Sunburst tilts his head. "I've study these a bit in the enchanting coarse but nothing to far beyond that. If you're willing to let me then I'd be more than happy to help you sir."
"Good," Levi smiles. "Come. You can educate me while we walk to see Tia."
The duo walked off, and it was safe to say that somepony would be getting bleeding ear from burst eardrums later that day.
"Sooooo..." Levi says as he looks a his youngest slowly rotating in circles as she hung with horn was stuck in the ceiling fan,
"You were practicing a spell Twilight told you about in order to make more of your favorite cookies and...."
He turns to see Spike, now totally pink except his green eyes that blinked to look around as he was thoroughly embedded in the marble wall. Candy then comes into the room and walks over to the drake dragging a very large pry pry meant for adult ponies to use in her mouth. The filly herself seemed relatively un-pink except for a light coating of pink on the very tip of her tail.
Levi picks up one hoof and pink slowly oozes off of it and splatters on the floor, "Tuning the wafer into a pink sludge bomb of some sort that exploded getting all over you and Spike's bedroom. Not to mention embedding your older brother into a marble," he looks over to see Candy trying to pull Spike free, "Oh, and let's not forget the Guards that were outside your doors that now have pink butts or are now being referred to as Bubble Gum Baboons."
Stella smiles at her father nervously as she rotates to meet his flat gaze.
"To be fair I did warn her it was a bad idea grandpa!" Candy calls out. "And so id Spike!"
"Yea!" Spike adds with a scowl, "Come on I think I'm stating to-"
"Your mother and I have told you no messing with new spells unless one of Twilight is with or," Candy slipped and the pry-bar rocket in a spinning motion at Levi, who doesn't even turn his head to catch it Levi's gaze turning stern as he glares at his daughter, "Or Moondancer or Sunburst with you. You're in a lot of Trouble missy."
He pulls her down. "Stay," he point then trots over and knocks on the wall above Spike then pulls his sun loose, "You two aren't of Scott free either. You should've told somepony what she was up to!"
"Yes sir," the tow looked down ashamed.
"Speaking of adults, where are Corps members that as supposed to be keeping an eye on you three?" Levi looks around before to large globs of [ink fell from the ceiling moaning in pain. "Guess that answers that question."
"Sorry sir," one pony shaped pink glob says. "By the time we got in here-"
"Your daughter had already cast the spell," The other pink gob states.
"Guess I need to redo some of the training," Levi thinks as he rubs his chin, leaving a pink line under his chin causing the chalder to snicker. "Alright enough laughing! Bath time," he grins and the kids gulp, hard.
Levi was currently staring at a very large frilled lizard with a backpack the looks similar to a large set of fire extinguishers as it cowers in a corner of its cage. The creature was none other than Glub Glub, the Miracle Whip Lizard that Twilight had somehow called into existence while trying to create the perfect sandwich. Though he technically wasn't all that dangerous as all he did was spray condiments on creatures he was still a force to be reckoned.
"I thought we sent this thing back to where you pulled it from," Levi deadpans.
"We did," Twilight huffs. "At least until Somepony powered on the portal before double checking the coordinates!" She glowers at Moondancer who is whistling while looking on the other side of the room, "What Sunburst sees in you I don't want to know."
"This coming from the second mare he asked out," Moondancer quickly retorts, "I still don't see why you turn him down though. He's a good stallion and all of us share the same interests."
"Meh..." Twilight waves it off. "Sorry but I'll tell you the same thing I told him, he's not my type. You and I a too similar in the regard that ponies already regard use as clones of each other, or twins at the least."
Michigian croaks from his pond while doing a back stroke, "Boy I wonder why?"
"Quiet you," Twilight glares while the frog smirks. "Any ways. Sunburst is a good stallion but he's just not the guy I'm into and I have a hard enough time dealing with you when we're working together so why on this Faust Forsaken planet would I want to date the same guy as you."
"Point," Moondancer nods as she walks over to the cage. "Please step back for a bit Pops." Levi moves over as Moondancer uses her magic on the cage and levitates it over to the portal, "Fire it Twi!"
"Pull this, flip this, and type here," Twilight says. "And give a little twist of this. All good Moonie, shove his ass in!"
"Go on get!" Moondancer flings the cage throwing the lizard into the portal.
"GLUB GLUB SHALL RETUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" The lizard shouts as it flushed into the portal.
"Kill it!" Moondancer shouts.
Twilight powers down the portal.
Levi walks over and looks at the machine, "At least this confirms it works," he turns, "How long before we can use it though?"
"A few weeks at most," Sunburst says as he slides down a ladder. "We still need to run a few more test first."
"Keep up the good work you three," Levi smiles and nods to them before walking off.
"So Twi," Moondancer looks at the lavender mare with wicked smirk, "What exactly is your type?'
"Uhhhhh... Oh look at the time, Michigian needs his... Aaaaaahh daily chocolate," She looks over her shoulder only to see a ripple from the center of he pond, "Traitor..." she turns back to a slowly approaching Moondancer, "Now Moonie, don't you g and get any ideas!"
"Sunburst," Moondancer calls out to her coltfriend, "Get the rope, and a jumbo jar of Mayonnaise!"
"On it," the stallion says a she pulls out a long stretch of rope and a jar of Mayo roughly three times his height.
Twilight Gulps hard. Several ungodly sounds were heard from the tower that night...
