What if Alex couldn't get online
ALICORN KING: Atlantis on Equis pt 1
Previous ChapterNext ChapterStanding at the edge of the ruins of the airship yards. An ancient Caribou gazes down at the twisted wreckage below him. A Caribou soldier walks up to him and bows. Istevan looks at the soldier and asks, "What is the status of the shipyards?" The Soldier was glad he was reporting to the ancient runemaster as he said, "Total loss. My lord same can be said about the docks." Istevan sighed. He had overheard ponies talking about an alicorn stallion. Calling him the Alicorn King. He looked back at Canterlot Palace and sighed. First they took Ponyville which had the only rail line to Canterlot cutting Canterlot off from the rail network but with the total destruction of both the airship docks with all the airships in port as well the shipyards meaning they couldn't rebuild the airships. No matter how you look at it, Canterlot was under siege as without the rails or the airships they couldn't bring enough food to support the city with other land routes and using balloons was worse. "He layered spells and dispelled the magic of my runes. He's no other challenger. He's more."
Back at the castle of the Two Sisters.
"What did you do?" Celestia asked warily. "That is no gunpowder explosion nor is it any spell I know."
"It wasn't gunpowder 'Tia." Alex replied. "That was C-4, a very powerful explosive that comes in blocks. It comes from the human world."
The solar mare looked horrified. "You brought human technology here! What were you thinking?! Are you trying to destroy our entire world?!" In response Celestia literally tossed Alex away. "You are no friend of mine if you do not understand how dangerous what you have done truly is."
"That is on me Mom." Sunset said. "And the magic you felt was pyromancy from another world, something we both know I'm extremely skilled in."
"Normally C4 is incredibly stable and literally can be used as cooking fuel. It's surprisingly effective at that too." Crystal said "Instead of using detonators and detonator cord to set off the plastic explosive I taught Sunset a special timed mine variation on a pyromancy spell so that all the C4 would be vaporized. Keeping the technology you fear getting into others hands out of their hands."
"Besides I had already made some forms of C4 to help with my party Cannon back before you had it restricted though I hadn't revealed the C4 beforehand and detonated it when fighting against Tirek." Pinkie said as she helped Alex up. "Considering we already use TNT in our Rock farm for splitting up particularly hard Stone without having Maud there to crack it with her extremely powerful fists, it wasn't that hard for me to find a more stable yet powerful explosive compound."
Alex groaned then said, "Tia I know you're scared but I didn't bring any C4 when I arrived. I've seen C4 explosions before, heck I had to out run one. So if anypony here could identify what made that boom, it's me. And why're you assume I brought it over?"
"I believe that would be because she has experience with interdimensional portals, specifically a certain mirror with a good Sombra which you remind her of." Crystal said. "Don't forget that I was here for 1500 years. Even though I was asleep I was able to observe things that I shouldn't have thanks to the dreamscape being close to the interdimensional barrier."
Alex walked up to Celestia then looked her in the eyes then said, "'Tia. One month ago while we both were dreaming I swore. Not only to free you but punch Dainin in the balls. Today I did just that. I swear I didn't bring any C4."
"Like Sunset said that was her idea, it's from her world so it's still equestrian C4 just a different version." Crystal clarified "Besides, haven't you taken things from the human world before specifically the railway system and low level computer tech?"
"Sister?" Luna asked, realizing the implications of Crystal's words.
"I never actually took anything from the human world, just memorized blueprints and helped push things along in our world to parallel technology from theirs." Celestia commented while looking dour. "I'm sorry Alex, I'm just worried that certain beings such as the caribou or even the unleashed nightmare forces could twist that kind of tech into something monstrous on par with human nuclear weapons or worse."
"You've seen that world too?!" Crystal said. "Damn megaspells..." The mare grumbled before trailing off tapping her gunblades together in thought. "We'vealready encountered at least one Nightmare being." Crystal's gaze snapped to the twin Fluttershys. "Has Eris woken up? I will definitely need to explain a few things about these," she swung her weapons around before they ignited in flame. "and their godlike power after what I showed you guys."
"I'm afraid not Crystal." Pony Fluttershy replies. "She's still recovering. "
Alex examined the draconequus, frowned, then began to tickle her. Half a minute later Eris was laughing and awake.
"So my power of light didn't truly put her in a coma." Crystal said with a sigh of relief. "I'm glad. Now for that explanation I promised. The weapons I wield were made by a God for another who could absorb godly power thanks to a unique bloodline she had that lay dormant within her at least in the universe where these come from. In another that power awoke and I have gained each ability from both versions of this godlike human."
Everypony present nodded in understanding at this explanation. Then Luna lit her horn and picked both Alex and Celestia in her magic and began carrying them to Celestia's old rooms and with a wave of her hand everypony that was currently unmated to Alex got up and proceeded to follow. "L… Luna?" The two of them asked, puzzled. "We don't have the time for you to work up the nerve to start fucking like rabbits plus the royal herd had a discussion between the mated and unmated members and came to the conclusion after your rescue there's going to be zero unmated members after 'Tia was rescued."
"Isn't what you girls came up with similar to what the caribou do…"
"Not at all Darling," Pony Rarity contered. "Both you and Celestia are pumping out arousal pheromones to the point everypony in this group is leaking & the human versions are experiencing their first heat. And experiencing that is torture unless relieved through either getting pregnant or masterbating."
Hours later Celestia with a slightly swollen belly and Luna were walking in partially restored halls of their former home. Celestia had a satisfied look, while Luna had a slightly smug look. "You're looking relaxed."
"I'm finally a mother again I'm also glad that herd law keeps the whole incest debate to a minimum." Celestia said before leaping at Luna and kissing her hard. "You have no idea how long I wanted to do that. Eep!"
"You know what she took my form mostly to emulate your beauty." Selene said as she played with the solar alicorn's nipples. "Although I have a question, Sunset called you Mom, is that because she was adopted or is she truly your biological daughter?"
"A bit of both actually." Sunset said. "Originally I was just an adopted Ward for her but it turns out my bloodline is much like Twilight's and leads back to the Royal family. Although I have less of a bloodline connection than Blueblood does, I'm the direct descendant of Celestia."
"Ah that makes sense. I was wondering why Sunburst mentioned he had a tie to a great bloodline without explaining it," Starlight said as she walked in. "Knowing that he's your nephew, it makes a lot more sense now."
Starburst flies in saying, "Daddy Alex has collapsed and is making loud sounds."
"Get Eris!" Crystal shouted. "Alex needs her magic!"
Selene looks at Crystal and asks."Why does Alex need chaos magic?"
The young Pegasus flew off to find Eris.
"You forget that he is literally the alicorn of chaos?!" Crystal snapped her worry over Alex visibly evident. "Only someone with dominion over chaos can control something as chaotic as the Everfree! I haven't told you guys this but I've seen other timelines where Alex became an alicorn of chaos and a mouse hybrid, it was during my time in the human world where I got a few visions of those timelines." 'best not to mention that version of myself and Twilight mated with him when he was female' she thought. "Part of the reason he even has dominion over chaos is because of Eris that curse of his compounded with his alicorn nature."
A poof and Eris and a sleeping Alex appear. Alex is sleeping on a cloud. "I Brought our sleeping king." She says. "What's wrong with him?" The Queen of Chaos then noticed Celestia's bulging, jiggling belly. "Oo Hoo. Looks like a certain stallion left our Solarslut a creampie."
"Just because the Caribou have made that talk more casual does not mean you can insult Celestia Eris. Even in jest we do not use those nicknames they use." Crystal said her blades glowed golden similar to her goddess of light form. "I went easy on you by purging the Nightmare, don't make me use my power to truly hurt you."
"Uh Lulu, why does Clover look like she's an alicorn? In fact, how is she alive?!" Celestia asked, finally noticing Crystal's uncanny resemblance to her old friend Clover and Twilight. "She died almost 2,000 years ago?!"
"Groan," Alex said, disturbed by Celestia's loud comment. He propped himself up then said, "That's because Crystal's a descendant of Clover the Clever 'Tia. It's the middle of the day." Alex grumbles at being woken up. "I hardly slept until the Raid, then got dragged into an unexpected orgy caused by the fact both of us being turned on so much we were emitting enough arousal pheromones to drive the ponified humans into heat."
"I am Clover the clever, just from another world." Crystal corrected. "Multiverse theory and all that, now let's let Alex sleep some more. I myself could use a nap."
One hour into the night the entire Royal herd gathered in Everfree Castle's throne room. Alex then motioned for Luna & Celestia to stand with him. "Ok girls now that you're both free. I can now cast a spell that will restore the castle. The spell by accessing your memories of this place can restore it to perfect condition." He then turned to the other mare's and said, "You girls can help by concentrating on Celestia, Luna, & myself to support us. If you lend us your magic."
After saying that Alex and the Celestial Sisters close their eyes then light their horns. The other Alicorns and the Unicorns lit up their horns and sent their magic to the ones shaping the spell.
A few moments later, the castle was outlined and Triumphant music from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon starts playing in the background. As it plays the Castle begins to heal. Pieces that were out of place drift back Into place and fuse holes that were created by being vaporized fill in with crystal. Decorations and tapestries that time had ravaged were restored.
As the ruins of Celestia's original Throne is repaired, the Unicorns stopped loaning their magic. The moment the last crack fused, the spell ended.
After taking a moment to catch their breath the Alicorn trio looked about.
Crystal walked into the restored throne room holding a familiar diary. "For you bookworms in our group you'll be happy to know that all the destroyed books were restored with the spell as well." This comment caused both Twilights, Sunset, and Starlight Glimmer to squeal before racing off to the library Sonata following them. "Did not peg Nata for the reading type."
"Most wouldn't." Adagio commented with a snicker, "She really loves nursery rhymes and all that and since this place existed around the time of our childhood I think she's hoping to find some old nursery rhymes she heard back in the day."
As the youngest Alicorn, Alex started to Collapse, but Celestia supported him and gave a motherly chuckle. "You're the Lexi Viator that helped keep my hopes up and my sanity during my Captivity." Alex winced when Pinkie said, "I thought your name was Alexandrite Obsidian, yet Celestia called you Lexi Viator. Which is it?" Alex sighed then said, "Both but neither is my True Name. Now if you have questions on True Names either you have to wait in line during Royal Court or ask Crystal." Alex started to walk towards the courtyard.
"Oh no you're not you're going back to sleep!" Crystal said, realizing that Alex was going to push himself even further after expending a large amount of his magic once more. "I swear if I have to act like a mother to you instead of your wife and alpha of this herd then I will damn it!"
"But… " Alex started when Dagi walked up and hugged him so his head was between her tits but not tight enough to interfere with breathing but make it impossible to talk without getting a nipple in his mouth. "No buts honey, you're going to bed. Even if I have to straddle you to keep you in bed." She said she carried him to his bedroom. The third siren followed saying "No way you're hogging the beefcake."
Twilight walks to Crystal and asks, "Why does Alex have to go to bed? It's the start of the night."
"Unlike most others he is still young. Think Flurry Heart in comparison to him, a large amount of magic but takes a long while to recover. He just used a large amount of magic right after recovering from a near complete magic exhaustion along with staying up for almost a week straight. One day of rest is not enough for anyone. Trust me I've been there and done that, also he's only in his mid-20s. He still needs to get more rest before he can do much more than walk around or hold Court and all that." Crystal looked exacerbated as she turned to her herd mate. "If he hadn't used his magic to repair the castle I would have been fine with him holding Court as it's basically just him resting while still awake but he used so much magic. It's evident to those that know and deal with him day to day that he's about to drop even if he doesn't realize it himself."
Alex woke the next dusk feeling slightly recharged. He nudged the sirens and said, "Adagio, Aria gather the herd, it is time for a herd meeting.
The two sirens nodded and slid out of the bed then headed to get their herd mates. One to gather the alicorns. The other to get the non-alicorn members and the children. Alex then walked to the largest room other than the throne room. He then physically arranged chairs and piles of pillows.
"What's this about?" Rainbow Dash asked. "You going to tell us we should split up and send at least one person to each other nation that we know is still free?"
"No Rainbow." Alex said. "This is setting up a plan for AFTER kicking the caribou out. With me and Crystal here Celestia & Luna can't re-assume the throne as we're a king and queen and the other ponies are going to insist we ascend the throne. Much like they ascended the throne after they stoned Discord. " Eris chucked at Alex's comment about her petrification.
"Actually we can have them retain the throne." Crystal said. "Herd law was set up specifically for a case like this: they maintain their throne while we maintain the leadership and balance of the herd."
"We thought ahead and set the law up well ahead of time in case we found a king or someone we agreed would be a better leader than us." Celestia said, looking to the elder Twilight. "That being said the Everfree is considered its own sovereign land; you being king and queen of the Everfree would allow you to maintain your titles while also being in a similar status to the crystal emperor and empress when they finally regain their thrones."
"Although you would have to contend with the kingdom of the deer to the West." Luna added "The Everfree became sovereign land because of their civilization. Our castle, the city and the path to the rest of Equestria being as far into the Everfree as our rule extends. After this business is over we shall cede what little control we have over the Everfree to you."
Alex nods then adds "Okay I have a question what does age have to do with magical power? When learning magic on Abeir-Toril there wasn't a clear connection."
"Not really you do grow more powerful with age but that's more because of practice and all that." Twilight said. "My niece Flurry Heart had a rather large mana pool upon birth. We restricted her output but that was more to keep her from getting even stronger since using up all of your magic tends to make your mana pool grow slightly. It's a response to the situation since having a empty mana pool makes a spell drain lifeforce if a secondary source of mana like an artifact isn't present." Both Twilight and Twily grimaced as a thought passed through both their minds, one that Twilight had to voice. "A problem as we are literally the element of magic we could kill the planet before we die since our life forces are tied to the very concept of magic existing. As long as it exists somewhere in the universe me and Twily will forever live. Crystal as well seeing as her cutie mark pertains to magic as very base. Controlling mana in its crystalized form. You as well Allex as your element is Chaos, something that existed even before existence. It's an unpleasant thought that Eris, Crystal, Twily and I, and you will be the last things alive in this universe."
"Crap." Alex thought as he noticed the manic look that appeared in the alicorn of friendship's eyes at the mention of "Abeir-Toril". "I just had to mention another world in front of her. Now she's going to be pestering me about it."
With a sigh he quickly moved to what he had planned and looked at Celestia. "It occurred to me that the old method of holding Court you had been using had one major flaw: that you allowed yourself to get overwhelmed allowing you to miss details. Like the plight of the changelings which lead upto the Invasion or Luna's feelings of not being ignored by the ponies when they slept through the night."
"I thought of a variation of a system I experienced. First is a Harmonic Council which would handle all the petitioners that come and either make a decision on the petition or bounce it up. Those that sit on it are the current bearers of the Elements of Harmony or a pony that embodies an element until that Element chooses a new bearer. The court above that is the day/night courts held which the day & night princesses sit at. Luna and Selene will alternate between sitting in court and Dream guarding." Alex noted Luna and Selene's puzzled looks. "Luna handled Dream Guarding & Night Court alone and that added to her stress. Hopefully the numbers of petitioners will be lower with the Council vetting them. Finally there is Royal where Crystal or I sit. Any petition either of us denies is dead with no hope of resurrection."
"Unless it is a generational request such as if the same petition comes up on record after a hundred years or so. Then we know that there's a problem that caused that specific request the last time as long as it's something with a major time gap between, like the plight of Hollow Shades which had been brought up a lot in the past but with decent gaps of time in between each mention." Crystal said thinking of a problem that a complete veto system could cause should the problem be long lasting. "With that in mind I believe we should have a constant record of what is said during each court session similar to how court in our world is done when it comes to legal matters."
"A court scribe is a good idea after all humans use it to make sure that records are kept of any legal proceedings." Shy said "That way we can reference things like that without relying on somewhat inconsistent memory."
"Good idea Shy." Alex says. "Court scribes will be installed in each court. Now anypony have any other ideas?" When no pony spoke up, Alex moved on. "Okay. Canterlot can't get ANY supplies save water thanks to the raid achieving all it's goals. In fact we have done morale damage to the caribou. Dain was using the fact no one had been able to beat him or take anything from him. And in this raid we not only did he get laid out in full of the nobles and his soldiers we destroyed both the Airship yards AND the Canterlot airship docks. Plus the eleven miles of rail with Ponyville in the middle, Canterlot isn't getting supplies anytime soon"
"I even put the scare factor directly into the caribou. They don't know that I won't destroy the mountain because of the ponies living on it. All they know is I literally control what is inside the mountain aka the crystal mines. Meaning I could tear the heart of the mountain out with a flick of my wrist and let it crumble if I really wanted to. Again I won't do it but they don't know that." Crystal said with a devious grin stomping on the ground causing Canterlot to rumble in the distance. "Now alongside the morale drop my threat will make them want to evacuate. I'll keep shaking the mountain every now and again to help with that and to keep them disorganized somewhat."
Alex grinned then said, "by keeping the shaking going they can't start rebuilding the yards or docks." He then said "Now with Canterlot besieged, and the Caribou's morale fractured, we need to not only acquire allies and if we can recover Atlantean artifacts and incorporate them into the city. Bearers, you go to Griffinstone, Yakyakistan & mount Aris and try to find allies. Call in treaties of alliance if you have to. Bed them if you must but get those allies. Geodes go and locate Atlantean Artifacts and acquire them. Both group have until your bellies begin to bulge at which point you hurry back"
"Sirens head down to Seaquestria. Let them know that the original rulers have returned to this world considering it is part of your birthright it makes sense for you to go." Crystal said. "Alex and I will keep putting the pressure on the Caribou around here, keep their front lines focused on us and away from you guys."
The three groups of mares left under cover of darkness. As it turns out Thestrals were untouched by the indoctrination wave as such thestal packs were heading to Everfree City.
Alex left the castle and followed the tracks west. Soon he came upon a small town With an armored train. As he quietly landed, he thought, "Trains like this usually carry either prototypes, treasures, or warbeasts." He then started to stealthily move from shadow to shadow until he came upon two caribou talking.
"I don't understand why we have to guard a jewelry box." Groused a young Caribou. "I don't see why we can't just bust it open and sell the jewels inside?"
"You idiot!" The Older of the pair loudly replied and cuffed the younger. "That so called 'Jewelry Box' contains the Elements of Harmony which have proven impossible for our runemaster & his apprentices to improve so Dain is sending them to the Dragonlands."
"They plan to use them to bribe a dragon to try to challenge Ember. Do those dopey deer realize that in truth she's Spike's regent. The Bloodstone scepter won't acknowledge the winner because Spike is the dragonlord." Alex thought. He silently cast Greater Invisibility and followed the pair until they entered a boxcar. Slipping in behind them he moved quietly until the guard got to an open area with a lead strong box with runes to strengthen and shield it. They moved to opposite sides of the area and took up guarding positions. Alex then felt the train jerk then begin rocking in the characteristic fashion of a train in motion. Settling himself in a space where he could see the guards yet they couldn't see him he took a nap.
Three hours later Alex woke from his nap and looked at the guardstags and smiled. Both succumbed to the eternal foes of all guards, boredom and had fallen asleep. Twinspelling Phantasmal Killer which took the translucent forms of Celestia and a huge breasted caribou doe both of which straddled the stags and hugged them and shoved their faces between their mammoth tits. Due to their being extremely tired they were unable to resist the spell and suffocated to death even though there was nothing actually there.
Carefully stepping into the open area he first Twinspelled Hold Portal the adjusting the spell so only the Strongbox was affected, cast Dispel Magic which caused the runes to glow and then shatter and fade. He then used the cantrip open to unlock it. He opened the strongbox and smiled as he saw the jewelry box that held the elements of harmony. Using his magic he switched it with a wire cube with 4 springs holding a glass globe with nitroglycerin in it that was encased in a stasis spell. He then closed the strongbox just as the doors on both ends began to be beaten upon as other guards were trying to get in. Placing the Jewelry box in his backpack. He dispelled the stasis spell then used Greater Teleport to teleport to Zecora's.
External view of the train.
We see the train chugging quickly along the rails. It soon starts to cross a bridge. All seems normal when suddenly a powerful explosion occurs in the middle of the train which was in the middle of the bridge which collapsed cutting a rail line.
Crystal had decided to explore the caves below Canterlot, shaking the mountain every few hours. While most of the crystals seemed to be naturally occurring; she noticed a few formations that seemed like a skeleton. The idea that this may have been the resting place of some ancient creature in the bones had turned to Crystal due to fossilization intrigued her. As she was studying to become a paleontologist back in her time in Antarctica one of the only places not fully explored by a person in such a field. "Interesting from what I can tell of these remains they are of a large reptilian creature. possibly similar in size to the fictional Dagon of the legendary monster-verse, could this be the ancient Draco that Polaris and her mother were talking about?"
Crystal decided to take a sample of the rib bone she had been looking at but the moment she touched the crystal formation she passed out waking up back in the Everfree castle. "Ugh. What the?! How am I back here?!"
What the mare didn't know was that she had been passed out for over 6 hours. Having been found back in her bed by Alex, her whole body glowing.
"I came back seven hours ago." Alex said as he closed a book. "And I noticed a glow in our chambers an hour later. When I entered, I found you in bed glowing. I found a book and kept watch on you to protect you." He walked to her then said, "We got another lucky break. I stumbled upon an armored train with the elements of harmony on board. Let's say I got away and destroyed a bridge."
Alex then hugged Crystal tightly and added, "but finding you in bed and glowing scared me. What happened? When we parted you were going to explore the crystal mines under Canterlot. "
"I found remains large enough to be of the biggest dragons I know of in the multiverse. Considering some dragons become part of the land when they die I theorized that these were the remains of the Draco. The ancient starbeast that Polaris's mother talked about. I was going to take a sample of one of the rib bones that had been exposed thanks to the mining but the moment I touched it I felt something and passed out."
A knocking on the chamber door gave Crystal pause. "We should probably see what our subjects want."
Sighing, Alex helped Crystal up (making sure he grasped one of her big boobs) then opened the door one the guardsmares was waiting. She saluted and reported, "King Aspen is awaiting you in the throne room." Puzzled, he and Crystal shared a look and proceeded to the throne room.
Once there they found the King of the Everfree Deer in full regalia on his knee. They both walked up to the thrones and sat down.
Crystal looked at the deer and saw something unique. Multiple versions of the King were behind him each doing something slightly different. Some were shaking in rage, others were leaping up to attack, still others were lying dead and/or bleeding on the floor, though were in the minority as most followed the king in front. 'Time is fickle my friend, this is just the start of our powers.' a voice only she could hear said. 'Great, now I have you here. Just show yourself I already know exactly what you are and who you are.'
'That is where you are partly wrong,' It responded 'It is true that you know some of what I am and who I am but I am not just her. I am something far older, something familiar to you that you must discover for yourself.'
Alex looked at his Queen in puzzlement as she seemed to be talking to an unseen presence. Figuring she'd tell him later he gazed at the highly decorated deer that accompanied him. What he saw was a rogues gallery of allies and opponents his family had faced over the 15,000 years. The further down the line they were foes his family knew and thwarted. Strangely he personally hadn't yet met the latest rogue. He also realized that he was seeing this because the king was allowing it. "What's going on here?" He thought.
"Your Majesties my people the deer of the everfree humbly wish to become your allies knowing that the true rulers of Equestria have finally taken form we no longer wish to just be a sovereign Nation but to create a treaty of Ally. Our cousins-" the king spat on the ground following that word as if only to say cousins out of respect for the nobility the two before him held instead of ripping into his disgusting brethren as he wanted. "Have laid siege upon this world, our kind split off from them hundreds of thousands of years ago yet we ourselves still have some of the unique characteristics of them, so we use them for good to spite them. It is these talents and abilities that my people wish to employ against these foul creatures that my brethren had created."
Alex got up and held out his hand. "I suspected you guys would either ally with us or them. I accept you alliance with no hold back. But I am curious, what prompted this?"
"A northern subspecies of my people, the Reindeer, are able to see the future and a few of them have decided to hand out hearth's warming gifts in the vein of the human tradition of Christmas and Santa Claus, something one of them learned from a dream." Crystal chuckled at that comment. "They use this talent mostly for figuring out what gifts are the best for the recipient. I myself have this gift as well it is a bloodline right as the ruler of all deer." Aspen stood tall his carved antlers glowing. "I have the strongest version of it outside of an elder Reindeer. We have long seen that we would need to defeat our brethren, the caribou. We also saw that too powerful beings intertwined with Time, Space, Order and Chaos, would come to be the rulers of Equestria and the Everfree. It is why we chose to settle in the western edges of the Everfree itself. My most recent vision gave me reason to come here at this time knowing that you are gathering allies from across Equestria and beyond. The thestrals already joining you from their mountain hideouts and Hollow Shades, my people in the north are working with the Yak to make it easier for them to join in peace with us. So worry not for both Pinkie Pie. The honorary yaks will be greeted with a warrior's welcome when they reach the border. Or mastery of runes as you can plainly see allows us to use magic in a way similar to a unicorn yet enhance it with proper carving. This will be of great help in the coming battles and I can advise you on events that your wife cannot see."
'He knows of our powers, but not their full extent.' The voice revealing itself to be a familiar figure to Crystal. 'Once we merge you will see what I mean but for now I will give you the power that she had at her full extent.'
"Huh I'll be maxed out from both timelines?" Crystal muttered quietly while looking to The apparition who stood next to Aspen "So Ayumi why give me such power? I only have access to the god forms currently and their corresponding spells."
The apparition laughed. "Who said I was Ayumi? I merely appropriated her form to be something recognizable to you like a certain race of aliens from your memory did for another."
"Ah crap you're something from space aren't you? If you mention the Vok you have to be." Crystal said just as quietly. "Until I learn your actual name I will keep on calling you Ayumi as you look like her."
The apparition smiled. "You are very close with that comment and correct. Yet I am not just from space but very close to home in fact you may have met me already."
Suddenly two guards approached the meeting. "Pardon the interruption, your majesties, but something is happening with the Canterlot mountain, something that Lady Crystal is not causing!"
'This is where we will part ways for now, see you soon!' the apparition said as it faded before a thunderous roar of "Skreeeeooooonnnnkkkkk!" Could be heard along with the cracking of stone. This was followed by the distant thump of giant footsteps coming closer.
