MLP AU Crossover Specials

"Courage"

As the group headed towards the Vault of secrets and through it, Raidin and Lightining decided to regale them with Raiden's story.

"Raiden and I go back to when he was a Pichu, and I was a Shinx. The two of us were practically best friends, but I always knew there was more strength inside Raiden just waiting to be awakened." Lightining began.

"I didn't even know I had the kind of strength I'm capable of now back then, but did you really have to go and get in with the Gangster gangs just to push me to these legnths? I guess it did allow you to get them all off the streets in the end, but for the longest time, you had me under the belief that my best friend betrayed me and became just more criminal scum." Raiden said.

"I did what I thought was needed to be done. Besides, it paid off when you were a Pikachu: You were able to tank that thunderstrike that made you Lightning Town's hometown hero as a result." Lightning said.

"Still, don't you ever do something like that again." Raiden said and then with a fist, he ruffled Lightning's head fur.

"Seriously dude? Again with the noogies?" Lightining said.

"Your lucky I still consider you my best friend after all that. Which is why this time I want us to work together to keep the criminal scum off the streets." Raiden said.

"Same old Raiden. This is why we're best buds." Lightning said.

"You two remind me of my sunset and Twilight and their surrogate sisterhood." WFS Applejack said. "'Cause the two of you sure act like brothers around each other." She added.

"Well Raiden's parents were killed by those Gangster Gangs he mentioned a bit ago. So he kind of only ever knew me and well..." Lightning said.

"You made up for it though. Though please, if you ever want to go undercover like that again, make sure to tell me first. I'm pretty sure I can put up a good act." Raiden said.

"Didn't need you acting that time. I needed you to have motivation." Lightning said.

"You two really do have your own bond like Twilight and I do. It's nice." WFS Sunset said.

"Well we're almost through. Looks like once again Soltice is keeping the place open with those Treasures of the Apocalypse." Amiticia said.

"If you ask me, those things should be destroyed." Raiden said. "Things like those are too dangerous." He added.

"Whoa...okay this place is much closer in point to our own history." CoF Twilgiht said. "Though it was nice to see the Golden Oaks Library not destroyed for a change." She added.

"I hope that doesn't happen in our universe." WFS Twilgiht Said.

"Well, no point to dwell on it now." WFS Sunset said. Suddenly a new version of Spike showed up.

"You must be from the other versions of Equestion. Some bunny rabbit said you'd show up sooner rather than later." QoS Spike said.

"Score is in hot persuit of that father of hers, apparently." CoF Twilight said.

"Wonder why she's really keen on finding him." QoS Spike said.

"You've met her?" Amiticia said. QoS Spike had to blink.

"You look somewhat like a changeling, but aren't the same as the other with you." QoS Spike said.

"Still a changeling, just not dependent on love anymore." Amiticia said.

"I see. Well, you better hurry; last I heard from my Twilight, she was rushing towards an open field." QoS Spike said. Everyone headed that way and found their conterparts in this world, plus Sombra.

"...What the...Sombra is good in this universe? I never thought I'd see the day." CoS Twilight said.

"Who?" WFS Twilgiht asked.

"Ah. Someone you'll meet later." CoS Twilight said.

"I never met this guy." Amiticia said.

"Be thankful you're meeting a good version of him then." CoF Twilight said and joined their conterparts.

"This is turning into a party." Soltice said.

"Oh what's with all the racket out here?" A male voice said.

"...Oh boy..." Raiden said. "I think I recognize that voice. We've met a few times. Only one I could never intimidate." He added before a black being showed up; wearing armor. "...Hello King Throsten..." Raiden said.

"Lightning Strike Raiden. Been a while." The black being said.

"He's a king?" Lightning asked.

"King Throsten. Raiden spent a while in my world a few times. Right now, I'm supposed to be on vacation." Throsten said.

"The Brave King...that's what I noticed people in your world called you." Raiden said. CoF Twilight's eyes went wide again.

"...Tellma was right..." CoF Twilight said.

"What do you mean?" Amiticia said.

"She said we'd meet a hometown hero and a brave royal. And here we have both." CoF Twilight said.

"Getting tired of people interupting me." Soltice said but then suddenly Throsten sort of vanished before he suddenly hit Soltice with some kind of attack, which ended up making him drop the Treasures of the Apocalypse.

"Whoa...how'd he move so fast?" QoS Rainbow Dash said.

"It's a specific attack; Pursuit. In the case of a fleeing opponent, Pursuit has increased damage." Raiden said.

"So that's how it's going to be. Cut off my only means of escape. I suppose it's time to fight back. After all...I got my trump card." Soltice said before he unbuttoned the shirt he was wearing. Over the left side of his chest was something colored pink and black. It was also glowing. "...It's time for Checkmate." Soltice said.
