Chapter 1: An Unknown World
In a Discord Call, far far awa- just kidding…
Dream was sitting in a discord call all by himself, as he had pinged some members of the SMP (The ones that had a big impact on lore and a great character in the story of the Dream SMP itself). These members included Tommy, Tubbo, Wilbur, Fundy, Techno, Jack Manifold, Ph1LzA, Quackity, Sapnap, George, BadBoyHalo, Niki Nihachu, CaptainPuffy, The_Eret, Awesamdude Punz, and Ranboo.
“I wonder when they’ll all get here, I mean, come on, I’m not just gonna do lore by myself” Dream complained to himself as he checked his settings. Before he got in the call, he’d been working on a house since Techno would stop calling him homeless, but now, he was just bored. He sat in the call for a while longer until he heard a young voice chip in, and it was one he knew all too well.
“Hello Dream. Why have you called me here today?” Tommy asked, not aware that today was a lore stream
“It’s a lore stream, why else would I call you here?” Dream countered, laughing a little.
“You make a good point, though I hope your lore doesn’t involve stabbing me” Tommy shuddered to himself on that last part. He was still afraid that Dream would end him using the Axe Of Peace, though Techno had it.
“Oh no no no, It won’t be about that, at least not this stream” Dream said to Tommy
“What do you mean by tha-” Tommy attempted to say as he was cut off by someone entering the call. It was Tubbo.
“Hello Tommy, and hello Dream. So, I see we’re doing lore today, huh?” Tubbo asked with a smile on his face and joy in his voice. He was in a good mood, especially after getting his son, Michael, back from Sam after that whole ordeal, thanks to the help of Techno and Eret.
“Yeah, I’m just waiting for everyone else to join” Dream said as someone else joined the call with a monotone voice. It was Techno.
“What is it, Dream? I’m supposed to be bringing down orphans in Skywars. Also, I got a bell to ring in about…” He paused and checked the time, “30 minutes. So, hopefully we can log in soon”
“We will once everyone joins the call and we can discuss what’s gonna happen. Also, did you all install the plugin that I sent to you three, just like I did with everyone else?” Dream asked the three of them
“Yes” They all responded
“Not that it’s a bad idea, Dream, but this plugin can’t be found anywhere. I tried searching it, but nothing. Are you absolutely sure this isn’t some kind of virus?” Tommy asked with concern
“He’s got a point, Dream. If my computer combusts because of this, I’m sending you the bill” Techno added. He knows that his chat would gladly cough up the cash, but at the same time, Techno would want someone to actually pay him if something happened to his setup.
“Noted, but I guarantee you all, the person who sent me this plugin said that there was nothing harmful with the plugin, and if there was, they would pay any damages, so they’re taking full responsibility” Dream assured to the three of them.
As they were all talking, three other members joined. Eret, Ranboo, and Ph1LzA joined. They seemed to have joined in right as a argument was taking place.
“You thought to work with Techno and Eret, two people who betrayed you, to save your son?! Tubbo, what the fuck is wrong with you?!” Tommy shouted
“Tommy, you were having a panic attack over Dream breaking out of prison and the last thing I needed was you making things worse by being all panicky, so excuse me if you weren’t the first person I contacted to help me with something” Tubbo argued back
Ph1LzA couldn’t hold it in anymore and bursted out laughing, with Eret and Ranboo joining him as Phil spoke up, “Did we miss something? Sounded like you two were having a disagreement. Techno, you have any idea what they’re going on about?”
“Imma be honest with you, Phil, I have no idea what they’re screaming about. I just came here for free clout and because of lore” Techno responded.
“I guess it’s only a matter of time before the rest of them join, huh?” Ranboo asked
“Let’s hope the rest join soon” Eret said with enthusiasm
A few hours later…
By this time, all the members that Dream had pinged had joined into the call. Many members discussed what they’d be doing and more or less what they’ve been doing just on the server in general. Soon enough, Dream took the opportunity to speak up.
“Alright everyone, first off, I’d like to go off the record and say thank you for making it to this lore stream. I’m assuming everyone has installed the plugin I sent them.” Dream asked
“Yes” Everyone responded
“Then without further ado, log on everyone!” Dream said as multiple clicks could be heard. Dream himself then clicked on, being met with the regular screen for loading, then it vanished, showing a blank screen, as it looked like his monitor turned off, but it didn’t.
“Uh Dream, my screen’s black” George said
“Mine too Dream. Are you sure this plugin wasn’t dangerous?” Asked Quackity
“I assure you guys it isn’t anything to-” Dream was interrupted as a bright flash came from his monitor, “-Whoa!” And he was gone
“Dream? Where did you- whoa!” George cut out and disappeared as well
“What is going on?!” Tommy screamed as he too vanished
“I never got to promote my channel enough!” Techno said as he disappeared as well
Multiple other screams were heard as other members of the SMP could all be heard screaming as they vanished from their chairs in front of their monitors, one by one.
========================================================================
Somewhere in Equestria…
Darkness. That was all Dream saw after he disappeared in front of his own monitor with no warning whatsoever. From what he could tell though, he had most of his equipment, such as the armor he had during his encounter with Sapnap, as well as the sword and shield given to him by Techno, though there was something off, something very, very off.
“Uggghhhh what the hell?” Dream said as he sat up and rubbed his face… or at least what he thought was his face as he felt his mask, but it felt shaped differently. Dream walked to a nearby puddle and looked to see his reflection: He had become a pony. Dream then pulled his mask off and looked at the puddle, seeing that his face was now the muzzle of the average pony as he screamed, “WHAT?! WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?!”
Dream also felt something flick behind him, and he looked back to see a tail as well, screaming even more. He started hyperventilating, but then stopped and calmed down.
“You hear that guys? It sounds like Dream” A voice said as it got closer
“George?! Is that you?!” Dream shouted
“Dream?!” The voice shouted as a pony with clout goggles came in and tackled Dream as it hugged him tightly, “I’m so happy to see you!”
“Yeah, me too!” Dream cheered
“George, don’t you realize that we’re not exactly friends with him?” Sapnap called out to George as he caught up
“Hold on Sapnap. You do realize we’re in a completely different world than our own right. Unless Dream installed the My Little Pony mod as a troll, which is very unlikely, we wouldn’t be like this, but we are. I say we put lore aside and find a way back home” George countered
Sapnap groaned. As much as he didn’t want to agree with George, it wouldn’t make sense to continue lore on a completely different world, so he sighed and said, “Fine, just don’t expect me to warm back up to Dream”
“Would it kill you two muffinheads to slow down and give me a chance to catch up?” A black pony trotted in and saw Dream, drawing a sword, “Dream, come back to prison, now!”
“Wait Bad, no!” George got in front of Dream
“George, what are you doing?! He’s our enemy!” Bad screamed
“I know, but we should put that aside, as we’re in a different world and shouldn’t continue lore here. If anything, we should be more worried about getting back home” George concluded
“And how are you so sure we’re in a different world, George, and this isn’t just an excuse not to kill Dream right here?” Sapnap asked as he too drew his sword
“Guys, do you even see a ‘Disconnect from server’ button?” George asked the two, to which they looked around, with George saying, “That’s what I thought, now let’s just work to moving on and possibly finding a way home”
“First off, have you guys seen yourselves?” Dream pointed out, pointing at each of his friends. George was a light blue stallion with his clout goggles and his mane was styled just like his hair back on their world, and it was brown as well. Sapnap was a white stallion with wings, his headband, and his mane was styled just like on their world. BadBoyHalo looked a little different than the rest of them, as he had a demon-like tail, as well as the horns of one, and in addition, had a unicorn horn on his forehead.
“Look who’s talking, Dream” George pointed out. Dream was a light green stallion, whose brown mane could be seen past the white mask on his muzzle.
“Have any of you noticed the symbols on our… flanks?” Bad pointed out, motioning one hoof to his flank. Sure enough, everyone looked at these symbols on their flanks. Dream’s was a mask with a smile, which was pretty obvious. George’s was a pair of clout goggles. Sapnap’s was his fire emblem that’s on most of his clothing, and Bad’s was a satanic pentagram.
“That is rather weird, wonder what it means?” George wondered
“Guys, I see a town not too far from here” Sapnap pointed to a small village filled with ponies just like them
“Maybe someone there can help us” Dream said, walking there
“We should probably take our armor off and put away our weapons, so as to not draw too much attention to ourselves” George suggested
“Even better” Dream said, pocketing all his armor and tools, while everyone did the same, “You think anyone else was transported here?”
“More than likely. I wonder if they’re okay” Bad said as the four of them walked into the small village.
In a rich city…
“Urgh… If my computer is wrecked, Dream is so getting that bill” Techno said as he slowly awoke from his slumber. He groggily got to his feet, but stumbled a little and fell on his face. He slowly lifted his face off the ground and went, “Heh?! What is this?!” Techno looked at his ha- er hooves and screamed, causing a few passerbys to look at him with a confused look.
Techno, calm down! A voice spoke to him, followed by another, This is not the time to panic! Another voice spoke to Techno in his head
“Have I really gone insane?! Are the voices still haunting me?!” Techno panicked as he heard another voice say to him No, this is your chat, Techno. That’s when it hit him that his chat must’ve come with him. He calmed down and spoke calmly, “Okay, Chat, what is this place? What has Dream done that caused me to be sent to a world filled with… colorful ponies?!”
A few of Techno’s channel members weren’t sure, then one of them spoke to Techno, Oh, I know! Techno, you’re currently in Canterlot, which is the capital city of Equestria! I loved this show as a kid!
“So you mean to tell me I’m in a brony’s dream come true?” Techno asked his chat
Yes, but don’t panic! As long as you don’t disturb the locals, they won’t see you as a threat, and from the looks of it, you’ve already made quite the ruckus One of his channel members pointed out, motioning to the rather judging looks he was receiving from passing ponies.
“Can you at least tell me what I look like, chat?” He asked his chat as multiple members began typing on their keyboards.
From the looks of it Techno, you’re an Alicorn One of his members pointed out.
“Chat, what’s an Alicorn? I’m not familiar with…” He paused
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic? A member answered
“Is that what this show is called? Doesn’t matter, what’s an Alicorn?” Techno continued
It’s basically a 3-in-1 of the three kinds of ponies: Earth Pony, Pegasus, and Unicorn. Since you’re an Alicorn, you possess all those traits, meaning you have the strength and/or endurance of an Earth Pony, the flight capability of a pegasus, and the magic of a unicorn. Though I can only imagine how some of the other Alicorns would react seeing a male alicorn, as there haven’t been any whatsoever in the show A member concluded
“So I have some power under my belt, that’s cool” Techno said as he felt his muzzle and felt something bony, taking it off and seeing it was a pig skull mask shaped to fit his muzzle, “So it seems I’m not a pig in this world, but I do have something close to that” He then felt his mane and found his crown, “Chat, what’s the color of my…?”
Your mane? It’s pink, except it’s a lighter shade than your fur color Someone in chat responded, Not to mention, but you’ve also got a tail.
This really surprised Techno as he looked over his shoulder and, lo and behold, he saw his tail flick a tad as his eyes widened, “O…kay then” Techno also spotted a mark on both sides of his… he wanted to think butt, but that just didn’t sound right, so he had to think flank, “So I got a tattoo on my… flank, which I guess is kinda cool” Techno’s ‘Tattoo’ was a netherite sword with a miniature version of his crown dangling off the end of the blade.
Actually Techno, that’s your cutie mark. It defines your talent. Every pony in Equestria has one. Someone in chat responded
“Whatever, I’m not calling it that. Now, where should I go for information?” Techno asked his chat. Sure, being a pony was okay, but Techno rather have opposable thumbs and make money than not at all.
Head for Princess Celestia’s castle. If you have trouble finding it, ask someone for directions. Also, it kinda hangs off a cliff, iirc Someone answered
Techno looked around the city and spotted the castle, though it was hard to tell on where to go, as there were multiple streets and multiple buildings at every turn.
Techno started walking down the street as he talked to chat, “Easier said then done, chat, this place is like literally any big city in Ameri- Oof!” Techno had bumped into someone as he fell on his flank, rubbing his forehead, “Oh my god, I’m sorry, I was just monologuing to myself” Techno said as he looked up and saw a mare dressed in a beautiful dress, but he wasn’t a simp, so he looked past that and simply waited for a response.
“No no, it’s fine, accidents happ-” The mare was cut off as she was shocked by what she saw in front of her: A male alicorn.
“Uhm miss, are you okay?” Techno asked the mare, getting no response, “Hello? Did I become a ghost like Ranboo or something?” He said as he waved a hoof in front of her
The mare snapped out of it as she shook her head and spoke, “Oh! Pardon my rudeness! It’s just that male alicorns aren’t really seen nowadays. I apologize greatly for that silence.”
“It’s fine, like you were gonna say, accidents happen” Techno said as they both stood up. He tried to leave to avoid any more awkwardness, but had his shoulder tapped.
“Just out of curiosity, what brings you to Canterlot? You do seem to be wearing a crown. Are you by any chance related to Princess Celestia and Luna?” She asked
“I have no idea who either of those two people are, but I was told by my chat to head to ‘Princess Celestia’s castle’ for information, yet I don’t know how to get there. Could you possibly give me directions to there?” Techno asked the mare
“Of course darling, it’s the least I can do after our little accident. My name is Fleur De Lis, though you can just call me Fleur. What about you?” She asked as the two began walking.
“Uh, I am Technoblade, though just call me Techno” He said as they walked in the direction of the castle, “So, Princess Celestia and Luna, are they like… presidents of… Equestria?”
“More like rulers. They rule over Equestria” Fleur said as many members in Techno’s chat started messaging like crazy. That sounds like a government! Blood for the blood god?! Will princesses actually be killed? The many members typed, until Fleur said, “But they don’t wish to control the citizens of Equestria or any other kingdoms, but rather they rule with kindness and only want to solve problems peacefully”
“Well, that’s a relief” Techno said as he sighed and his chat calmed down.
“Indeed. Only Celestia knows we wouldn’t want any unwanted danger or drama” Fleur said as they continued down the streets of Canterlot and came upon the castle of the royal sisters, “Well, Technoblade, I hope you find what you were looking for here. If you ever wish to speak to me again, here’s my card” She said as she handed Techno a card and walked off
“Well, she was nice, wasn’t she chat?” Techno said to his chat, only to regret that decision as they started calling him a simp, “Wait no! Chat, it was just a compliment! Chat, shut up!” They did as he told and he walked to the entrance. There were guards at the entrance, but instead of denying him entry, they just let him walk in. Techno wasn’t sure if it was because of the fact that they saw his gaze, his crown, or the fact that he was an Alicorn, but he didn’t care.
Did you check your inventory? One person in chat asked
“That’s actually not a bad idea” Techno checked his inventory and found the following: His sword, Orphan Obliterator, his netherite armor, 3 splash potions of strength, speed, and resistance each, 3 potions of invisibility, a single totem of undying, his rocket crossbow, and a stack of firework rockets. Techno wiped his brow and kept walking. He kept walking the corridors, getting some surprising looks from any guards, and even some salutes from a few others. Techno continued until he reached the doors to the throne room. Techno expected the guards to just let him in, but instead, they denied him entry.
“Halt! Who are you and what business do you have with the royal sisters?” One of the guards said
“I am Technoblade and I wish to discuss royal business with the royal sisters. I’m their brother by the way” Techno said as the guards lowered their spears
“You may pass, but just know, Princess celestia is currently speaking with another pony” The guard said as Techno was allowed to enter into the throne room. It seemed as he had entered right in the middle of a discussion.
“Princess, I just need help with finding my friend. When I arrived here, I expected to be right next to him, but he wasn’t there” A distressed pegasus of a gray color spoke
“Mr. Phil, I assure you that your problem is very important, but without any clue as to what he looks like, I’m afraid we may not be able to find him” Princess Celestia replied
“For all we know, the person you speak of may not even be here” Princess Luna added
“We’re very sorry we couldn’t help you, Phil, but we will keep you-” Princess Celestia then noticed the alicorn that had previously entered and her wings flared up in surprise, “Halt, intruder! Don’t the guards know not to let anypony in my throne room during a discussion?!”
Techno stopped in his tracks and sighed, “Is this really how royalty is treated? Man, being an alicorn sucks”
“Sister wait! Do you not see the features? The wings and the horn? Clearly this stallion is an alicorn” Princess Luna spoke up
Princess Celestia paused for a second, then her eyes widened, “B-But that’s impossible! There hasn’t been a male alicorn in over 1,000 y-years!”
“Well, it seems that there is one infront of our very eyes, dear sister” Luna giggled a little
“Excuse me for a moment, I must inform Twilight!” Celestia panicked as she dashed past the two stallions and out of the throne room
“Women, am I right?” Techno joked
“So, mysterious alicorn stallion, what is your name?” Luna asked him
“Oh, I’m Technoblade. Pleasure to meet you, now how do I get home?” Techno said as he was hugged by the stallion next to him
“Techno! It’s so good to see you!” Phil said as he shed a single tear
“Good to see you too, Phil” Techno responded
Phil, of course was a pony as well. He was a pegasus, but instead of having the wings of a pegasus, he had the wings of a crow that were about the size of an Alicorn’s wings. His mane and tail were both blonde, and his cutie mark was that of half a heart, in reference to his hardcore series.
“I Presume you two know each other from long ago?” Luna asks the two of them
“Yeah, me and Phil go way back” Techno put a forehoof around Phil’s shoulder. “It was as if when we met, fireworks sparked and went off”
“I see. I am glad that you two have been reunited” Luna smiled as Celestia came running back in.
Celestia calmed down and spoke, “Apparently, there are four other ponies in Ponyville. One wears a mask with a smile, another wears goggles of some kind, another a headband, and one of them may or may not be a demon.
That sounds like Dream, George, Sapnap, and Bad Techno and Phil thought to themselves
“Seems we’re getting new visitors in many places. Should we expect more?” Luna asked
“You probably should, as I suspect that many more of our friends ended up here in some way or form” Phil commented
“I see. This is news to me” Celestia noted as she received a letter from Twilight, opening it, “Ah, it seems my star pupil has news regarding your friends in Ponyville”
“Could you read the letter to us, your highness?” Phil asked politely
“Certainly” Princess Celestia responded as she read it aloud”
Dear Princess Celestia,
I forgot to mention the names of the ponies. Apparently their names are Dream, GeorgeNotFound, Sapnap, and BadBoyHalo. I attempted to question each one of them individually, but they all split off from each other. According to Applejack, Dream and George have been doing manual labor at her family’s farm to not only earn themselves some bits, but to also collect resources in hopes of building a house and will be staying with Applejack for the time being. Sapnap has decided to help Fluttershy take care of her animals, though he seemed kinda bothered at the same time. When questioned about it, he said he just “Wanted to give caretaking another try and nothing more”. And finally, BadBoyHalo plans on staying with Pinkie and helping her bake all kinds of muffins. Though it did take a while to get them all to stop fighting, but it didn’t stop them from separating/splitting. Me and my friends will do our best to keep an eye on them so that they don’t cause any trouble.
Your faithful student,
Twilight
Celestia smiled as she looked at the two stallions, “It seems your friends are doing well for themselves. What do you two plan on doing?”
“I was actually planning on finding a way home” Techno said
“Is your home around here?” Luna asked
“What he means is that we’re from another world” Phil replied
“Another world? You mean, you two, as well as your friends in Ponyville, aren’t from here?” Celestia questioned
“Correct. You see, we’re actually from the planet Earth” Phil explains, “It’s inhabited by humans rather than ponies, and even though we have ponies back on Earth, they don’t have these marks, or horns, or wings, or a combination of the two. Unicorns and Pegasi are a fairytale that little girls tend to think are real”
“Ah, so it seems the rumors are true” Celestia concluded
“Wait, you know about our Earth?” Techno asked
“There were rumors, but now I know that they are true. There were rumors of a world somewhere far away from here in which what you say is true” Celestia explains, “Now onto a more important matter. I heard that the two of you, and probably your friends as well, wish to get home. I understand your concern, but it will take a bit of work to find such a spell and to make it work”
“So what am I-” Techno said as he was elbowed by Phil, “Sorry, we. What will we do?”
“Do either of you have somewhere to stay?” Luna asked them as they shook their heads, “Then I believe we give them a room to sleep in inside the castle. What do you say, dear sister?”
“If they have no problem with it, they are welcome to stay inside the castle” Celestia offered to the stallions
“We’ll take it” Techno and Phil responded
“Then allow me to lead you to your room” Celestia said as she lead the two stallions to their room. Of course, there’d be more of the SMP members showing up all over Equestria.
