The ultimate surprise in Equestria girls
Snowballs
Previous ChapterNext ChapterBenjamin smiled softly as the group left the apartment, frowning a little as he saw Scootaloo shivering slightly. “Hey you ok kid?”
“Huh? Oh uh yeah, I'm fine.” She said with a smile.
“You sure kid? How about I set up a camp fire outside for you to stay warm next to.” Stanley offered as he pulled out a small floating stack of wood in his hand.
“I don't think you can just build a fire in the street.” Scootaloo said with a frown. “Besides I'm fine.”
“If the squirt says she's fine then she's fine.” Rainbow said, rubbing Scootaloo’s head.
“Who cares, I can get rid of any evidence if the cops show up.” Stanley said before he smirked and looked at Benjamin. “Unless space cop here is gonna take me in.”
“Don't tempt me.” Benjamin said with a slight grin, frowning again as Scootaloo shivered and tried to wrap her coat around her more. “Here.” Benjamin said, tossing his coat over her head.
“Hey!” She took it off her head as Stanley placed the campfire on the side of the road and lit it with flint and steel.
“Just put it on and get warmed up. None of us wanna see you get frostbite.” Benjamin said with a slight grin to her.
“Yeah, no reason to get sick when you have warm clothes available.” Stanley said before he started placing white blocks in the middle of the road.
Scootaloo grumbled a little as she put on the coat, blinking in surprise at how warm it was. “What about you?” She asked Benjamin.
“Ah don't worry about me, before I came here me and my… family.” He paused at the last word with a frown. “Used to live in a place called Alaska, there's usually always snow on the ground and it's always cold. This weather is nothing compared to that.”
“Alaska? Geez, I hate the cold, I could never live there.” Stanley said as he made two walls of white blocks on two sides of the road. “Both walls have been made, you're all on your own for snowballs.”
Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle smiled as they looked at their sister's, before frowning as they saw them behind the other wall with their friends. “You guys vs us!” Rainbow said with a smirk.
Stanley smirked and started stacking the white blocks in stacks of two. “I will be fine on my own.”
“Come on you three, let's show them what we've got.” Benjamin said with a grin, noticing the three glancing sadly at their sister's. “Hey, everything ok?”
“We wanted ta play with our sisters.” Applebloom said while Stanley kept building two block towers all over the street.
Benjamin hummed a bit as he looked over at the older girls who were making snowballs. “How about we show them our skills and we can swap teams after?”
“Can we beat them?” Sweetie asked as Stanley smirked and held a pumpkin in his hands.
“Hey Benjamin, tell them what happens when you put a Jack-o'-lantern on top of two blocks of snow.” Benjamin looked around and saw there were around fifty stacks of snow blocks.
“Run.” Benjamin mumbled, ducking behind the snow wall.
“What?” Scootaloo asked before she was hit with a snowball. When she turned to look, she saw a snowman with a pumpkin head was moving and throwing snowballs at anything that moved and more snowmen were being brought to life as Stanley made more and more.
“Are those the snow golem, things?” Sweetie Belle asked, before she, Applebloom, and Scootaloo were pulled behind the snow wall as their sister's were bombarded with snowballs.
“Yep!” Benjamin said laughing a little as the older girls were screaming at being pelted with snowballs.
Stanley laughed like a mad man as he finished making his army of snow golems. “Go my minions! Pelt them with your snowballs!”
“How are we supposed to beat these things!?” Rainbow yelled, as Benjamin smirked a bit, throwing a snowball at her.
“What can't handle some snow golems!?” He asked with a laugh.
“Maybe a few of them but there are a ton here!” Rainbow said after ducking from the snowballs.
Benjamin rubbed his chin and smirked a bit, grabbing a rock and throwing it at a snow golem hard enough to go through the pumpkin and its head.
The golem froze before flashing red and disappearing. “Hey!” Stanley shouted before more snowballs were thrown at Benjamin. “No rocks cheater!”
“Says the one man army!” Benjamin yelled, picking up a snowball and packing it tightly. “But fine, since it's a snowball fight, how about this!” He shouted as the others saw him throw the snowball past the golems and hit Stanley in the face.
Stanley was knocked onto his ass. “Gah! Right in the face!” All the golems turned and started targeting Benjamin only.
“Good thing Minecraft snowballs do no damage, also. If you're gonna use your abilities.” Benjamin smirked as the snowballs hit him, as he popped up his Omnitrix.
“Oh that is how you want to play it?” Stanley said as he pulled out two shovels.
Benjamin smirked a bit more, before suddenly throwing a snowball at Stanley's face again before running behind him when he was blinded.
“Oh no you don’t.” Stanley jumped around to avoid the snowballs before he used the shovels to turn the snow on the ground into more snowballs.
Benjamin chuckled a bit before glancing at the others who were just staring in shock before Scootaloo grinned and threw a snowball at Rainbow Dash. Rainbow was surprised before she smirked at her. “Oh you wanna sneak attack huh?” She threw a snowball at the girl.
Scootaloo laughed as she avoided it, making it hit Sweetie Belle. “Hey don't hit my sister!’ Rarity said, putting some snow into Rainbow's coat.
“Aaaahh, cold!” Rainbow jumped before she turned at Rarity. “Hey! We are on the same team!”
“All's fair In love and war Rainbow dash.” Rarity said with a laugh before Rainbow put snow down her shirt. “Ahh!”
Pinkie Pie laughed before she was hit by many snowballs from the golems.
“Everyone for themselves!” Applebloom yelled, before throwing a snowball at Applejack and accidentally knocking her hat off.
“Mah hat! Oh you are gonna get it!” Everyone started throwing snowballs in every direction, many got hit, and Stanley even used shields to block the snow from hitting him.
However as he was laughing he noticed all his golems starting to move towards an alleyway. “Huh? Why are they going there?”
Benjamin paused and looked over as well, frowning slightly. “Everyone go inside.”
“Aww but we are having fun.” Scootaloo said before Rainbow nailed her with a snowball.
“Ha got ya!” Rainbow said with a laugh, before they all heard a noise coming from the alley.
“What the heck are those snowmen doing?” Argit asked, arching an eyebrow.
The snow golems started throwing snowballs into the alley and out of some trash cans climbed out some red alien with a large pickaxe, blocking the snow with a trash can lid. “The heck…” Stanley said.
“Pickaxers!” Benjamin and Argit said.
“Volcanus found me!” Argit yelled, grabbing his head.
“Who?” Stanley asked as he pulled out a sword. “Trouble?”
“Yeah, he's after Argit.” Benjamin said, pressing his Omnitrix.
Stanley frowned and shook his head. “Great, finish one fight and start another.”
“Don't worry, I got this.” Benjamin said, touching his Omnitrix.
“You do?” Stanley asked, watching him.
“Yeah, Pickaxers are small fry.” Benjamin said, turning into a Gravattack, his hand glowing before the small aliens were pulled into the air.
“Whoa, your aliens look a lot more freaky in person.” Stanley said as he put away his weapons.
“Cooool!” Scootaloo said with stars on her eyes as she looked at Benjamin.
Benjamin chuckled a bit as he slammed the Pickaxers together. Stanley looked around and frowned. “If these guys are here does that mean their boss is too?”
“It's more probable that they're scouts.” Benjamin said with a deep frown as he returned to normal.
The snow golems moved closer to the aliens and pummeled them with snowballs. “Do you need my help?” Stanley asked Benjamin.
“If you want to, but I figured you'd rather relax a bit.” Benjamin said.
“I would.” Stankey admitted with a nod.
“Then go ahead and relax.” Benjamin said with a slight grin. “Let's just say I have a plan.”
“Alright.” Stanley nodded a bit. “How about I take everyone back inside, I was starting to get cold anyways.”
“Go for it. I'm gonna wait here for the plumbers.” Benjamin said with a grin.
“Wait, you're doing your sting operation already?” Applejack asked.
“A sting operation!? Cool!” Scootaloo said, excitedly.
“Plumbers? Neat, try to get me some neat tech.” Stanley said as he put out the campfire.
“Sure, and you're easily impressed aren't you?” Benjamin asked Scootaloo with a soft chuckle.
“No I’m not.” She said before Rainbow started to guide her back inside.
“It was just a joke. But make sure not to come outside no matter what.” Benjamin said to the small girl and her friends.
Stanley looked at Benjamin. “You sure you don’t want my help?”
“You want to help?” He asked back.
Stanley rubbed his head. “I mean if you want the guy dead I can help…unless I set traps like using honey blocks or something.”
“Nah, I don't kill.” Benjamin said with a small shrug. “And if you want to just relax, go for it.”
“Alright, good luck.” Stanley said before he headed inside.
“Will he be ok?” Fluttershy asked worriedly, as the rest of the group followed them inside.
“Oh yeah, the guy has an omnitrix, he can survive anything.” Stanley said before he chuckled. “He can even survive both an anihilaarg and a big bang.”
“Anihilaarg? Big bang?” Sunset asked, confused.
“A universe destroying device and the beginning of a new universe.” Stanley said before he pointed at Argit. “And yes, alien X is real and it can survive both.”
Argit's eyes widened in shock along with Sunset. “H-he can survive… the creation of an entire universe!?”
“Yep. well assuming his omnitrix has all the DNA as the original one Ben has.” Stanley said before he shrugged. “I mean he should.”
Sunset sits on the couch in shock as Rainbow raises an eyebrow. “So what? He can survive an explosion, it's not that big of a deal.”
“Not that big of a deal!?” Sunset asked Rainbow in shock. “Rainbow the big bang literally is what created the universe! It's no ordinary explosion!”
“Yeah, I mean I could be wrong but I think the power of the explosion is close to infinite, as according to the theory of my world, a pin prick of infinite mass suddenly explodes outward and creates all the elements of the universe.” Stanley said before he sat down and set down his command block. “Though if this world is made the same as the Ben prime universe then it was made with a…what was the full name again…oh yeah, Annihilarrgenesistoriathimiorgost.”
“Wait, he's strong enough to survive an infinite explosion? How is that possible?” Rainbow asked.
“Well…one of his aliens can absorb energy.” Stanley said before shrugging. “The omnitrix is filled with crazy powerful aliens.”
“Jeez.” Rainbow said with a frown, as the whole building began shaking.
“Whoa a spaceship!” Sweetie Belle said, looking out the window.
“You all may want to stay away from the windows.” Stanley advised as he typed away on his command block.
“Girls he's right, get away from there.” Fluttershy said to the three crusaders.
“Yeah, if you are spotted you may be used as hostages.” Argit said as he hid under a table.
“Wow, real brave hiding spot.” Stanley said while shaking his head.
“Volcanus is trying to kill me and my quills don't affect him because of his suit! What do you expect me to do!?” Argit asked, shaking.
“Aim for his face? I mean unless he wears a helmet that covers his face you could still shoot his face with your quills.” Stanley said before he made a stack of books.
“I tried that! In that suit he's too fast to hit!” Argit said.
“Jeez you're really afraid of this guy.” Rainbow said, crossing her arms.
“Huh, to think a version of you was able to take down a way bad.” Stanley said as he placed the books on the table and picked up his command block, slipping it into his pocket.
“Benji told me about that, that's different!” Argit yelled. “Those things don't have metallic armor all over their body, and they're massive targets!”
“Probably.” Stanley said before he tossed a cookie over to Argit. “Will you calm down? Even if this Volcanus guy gets past Benjamin, I am here and can fight him.”
“With what? A sword?” Argit asked with a frown, eating the cookie and shaking still.
“I got other things…” Stanley said and looked away. “If it would make you feel better I can give you a full set of the toughest armor I have.”
“I-i don't know.” Argit said with a sigh.
“With it on you can take a blast of TNT and keep going.” Stanley said as he started dropping dark purple armor onto the ground.
“Whoa really?” Argit asked in surprise, before a large shockwave shook the entire building.
Stanley got up and walked over to a window and looked outside. “Yep, that armor has saved my life a few times.”
Everyone looked outside, a large ship having destroyed the surrounding city blocks as a large robotic alien with an orange head stood against Benjamin across the street. “T-the city….” Fluttershy said softly, covering her mouth.
“Damn, the cartoon never showed this much damage…well, once the fight is over I can try to make a new villager job to fix the city, or Benjamine can, using one of his aliens.” Stanley said before he walked over to the duplication chest he made earlier. “Everyone grab a ton of these totems.” He said as he placed one in the open slot and the chest was filled with copies.
“We will hand them out after the fight if anyone is dead or hurt.” He said opening the chest.
“O-oh man this is crazy.” Applejack said, shaking in fear as they watched Benjamin turn into a large dinosaur-like alien and punch the alien far down the street.
“That's so cool!” Scootaloo said with a wide smile.
“What’s happening?” Argit asked as he out the armor on.
“Benjamin just punched that big bully down the street!” Applebloom said with a wide smile.
Stanley started equipping the armor onto himself as he walked to the window. “Out of the way ladies, I am gonna go help him.”
“Ah thought ya wanted a break.” Applebloom said.
“I do but the fight is destroying the town.” He said as he opened the window and threw a green orb at Volcanus’ head. “Close the window.” He said before lifting his arms, ready for a double fist slam before he disappeared.
He reappeared behind Volcanus and slammed his fists on Volcanus’ head. “Stop destroying the town asshole!”
“Gah! What the hell!?” Volcanus yelled, before grabbing Stanley and throwing him at Benjamin.
Stanley spun through the air before being caught by Benjamin. “Hey, sorry to interrupt, but you really need some backup if the city is being trashed.”
“That happened when he landed.” Benjamin said glaring at Volcanus.
“Where is Argit! Give that backstabber to me and I'll leave!” Volcanus yelled.
“Short guy? Spiky hair? Bad attitude?” Stanley asked as he was set down. “I think I saw him run out the back door and said something about another safehouse.”
“Don't lie to me, I'm tracking his DNA signature!” Volcanus yelled angrily.
“Guess he's smarter than the original Volcanus.” Benjamin mumbled, rushing at Volcanus.
Stanley shrugged a bit as the blocks in his hands changed to an orange colored kind. “Hey, can’t blame a guy for trying.” He then started running around Volcanus and placed sticky orange blocks as he ran.
Volcanus growled as Benjamin and he punched each other, sending them both flying backwards a little. Volcanus landed on some of the blocks Stanley placed and got stuck to them. “What the?”
“Honey blocks.” Stanley said with a smirk as he aimed a crossbow at Volcanus. “And this arrow has a curse on it.”
“Curses, blocks of honey?” Volcanus asked in confusion, ripping free of the blocks with a little force before snapping his fingers as hundreds of Pickaxers rush the two.
Stanley fired the arrow at Volcanus, and as soon as it hit him gray swirls started appearing and floating around him. “Take that!” Stanley said before using a shield to block a Pickaxer.
Volcanus grunted as he stumbled back a little, before Benjamin rushed at Volcanus again punching him in the face. Stanley used his shield to push back some of the minions and a sword to attack them.
“Bamn you, give me Argit!” Volcanus roared, punching Benjamin and sending him flying into a wall that was still standing before he returned to normal.
Stanley frowned and kicked one of the minions away before tossing a golden apple to Benjamin. “Hey Ben knockoff, eat an apple!”
Benjamin coughed as he stood up, taking a quick bite out of a golden apple. “Now where is Argit!” Volcanus roared, rushing at Stanley.
“The hell if I know.” Stanley said before blocking the weakened punch with his shield before using his sword on Volcanus’ arm.
Volcanus pulled his arm back quickly as the sword passed by him, before he was forced away by a torrent of flames as Benjamin in his Swampfire form rushed over. “Thanks for the covering fire.” Stanley said before he placed a slime block and jumped onto it, bouncing up into the air. “Take this!” He threw his sword at Volcanus.
Volcanus stumbled back as the sword hit him, before Benjamin ran up and punched him in the face multiple times. “Gah!”
Stanley landed and used another sword and stabbed the closest minion. “Why are you after him anyway!?”
“He cheated me out of ten billion Tatentite!” Volcanus roared, punching Benjamin back a few feet.
“That's what this is about!? Fucking money!?” Stanley shouted before he glared at Volcanus. “Stop fucking fighting and I can give you as much gold as you want!”
“Hold is worthless in the greater galaxy.” Benjamin said, whipping off some blood. “And ten billion Tatentite, is the equivalent of at least ten billion dollars, maybe more. I'm not surprised he's pissed.”
Stanley groaned and rubbed his face. “Then fucking sue him for the money! You don't have to fight and kill him!”
“I am a convicted felon, the plumbers wouldn't help me!” Volcanus yelled, rushing at them again.
“Ugh, why are criminals such greedy assholes!” Stnaley said as he used his shield to block the punch, but his shield broke and he was launched back. “Shit!”
Benjamin rushed over to Stanley and turned into goop, catching him before he slammed into a wall. “Thanks…damn, even with the weakness arrow affecting him he is so strong.” Stanley said as he pulled out some TNT.
“It's that suit.” Benjamin said, glaring at Volcanus.
“Let’s see how his suit handles some TNT then.” Stanley said with a smirk.
“alright, let's go!” Benjamin said , flying at Vulcanus and splatting in his face blinding him.
“Damn you!” Volcanus yelled.
Stanley ran after and placed a TNT block at Volcanus’ feet before lighting it with a flint and steel. “Now!” He ran back.
Benjamin wrapped himself around Volcanus’ head, before appearing to rip it clean off and flying out of the blast zone. The suit exploded once the TNT went off, sending scrap and debris everywhere.
“Yes we got him!” Stanley said with a grin.
“You killed him!?” Fluttershy shrieked horrified from the front door of her animal sanctuary as three white and blue ships flew around them.
“So? He was attacking and destroying the place.” Stanley said with a shrug. “Plus in one universe he tried to turn earth into a volcanic planet which would kill everything.”
“While that's true he isn't dead.” Benjamin said, floating over his orange blob body having a darker orange spot in it. “He's here.” He said, spitting out a small orange creature in a diaper.
“A baby?” Scootaloo asked, arching an eyebrow.
“I am not a baby!” The creature yelled, standing up on its stubby feet and shocking everyone.
Stanley started laughing. “Oh yeah, I forgot he wears that suit because he is a shrimp!”
“I am not a-!” Volcanus started to tell before a familiar cat-like alien walked up.
“Hello again, thank you for capturing Volcanus.” She said with a smile.
Stanley looked over at her. “As you can see it wasn’t easy, got anything that can help fix the town before people notice?”
“I think it's too late for that.” Benjamin said, looking back at the people that had gathered.
“Huh, didn’t notice them.” Stanley said before he scratched his chin. “Got any of those men in black memory erasing things?”
“Uh, no.” Benjamin said before shrugging. “Not that I really care.”
“Huh, so not going for the whole secret identity thing?” Stanley asked as he started breaking the blocks he left around the battlefield.
“Nah, I'm not that concerned about it.” Benjamin said as the cat-like alien took Volcanus into custody.
Stanley shrugged a bit. “Alright, just making sure.” He said as he finished breaking the blocks.
Benjamin looked around at all the destruction. “Well… even if they're small two good things came out of this.”
“And what's that? Half of this block is wrecked!” Rainbow yelled as a plumber handed Benjamin a sack.
“Well one I was just awarded ten thousand Tatentite, and two, I got a new scan.” He said with a grin.
Stanley raised an eyebrow. “Why not go to an alien blood bank to get a ton of scans?”
“I don't think that's a thing.” Benjamin said.
“Oh, too bad.” Stanley said before he looked at the cat-like alien. “So are you just gotta take him and leave or help fix the damage he did?”
“We have a few Kinecelerans that will aid in the rebuilding, along with a couple of Planchaküle.” The woman said, confusing everyone.
“Uh what?” Rainbow asked.
“Aliens, the Kinecelerans are super fast. And the Planchakule are fast and smart. The buildings will be fixed in no time.” Benjamin said, crossing his arms.
“Neat.” Stanley said before he hummed and held a hand out. “Mind letting me see one of those crystals?”
“Tatentite? Sure.” Benjamin said, tossing him a piece of Tatentite.
Stanley looked it over and hummed before placing his command block on the ground, he typed on the keyboard a bit before he smiled and placed the tatentite in the hologram. “It worked.” He grinned and started typing more as the command block shocked the tatentite.
“What are you doing?” Benjamin asked, confused.
“I am scanning the crystal to see if I can make a minecraft version.” Stanley said with a chuckle.
“Huh… that… actually sounds really cool.” Benjamin said with a grin.
“Yeah, can you imagine how strong the tools I can make with it would be?” Stanley said with a laugh.
“Considering I'm pretty sure it's stronger than diamond. Yeah, it'll be like playing modded Minecraft.” Benjamin said with a laugh.
“Yeah, can you imagine how strong you would be with enchantments?” Stanley said before the command block spat out a blocky gem the same shade as the tatentite.
“Neat.” Benjamin said with a chuckle, before looking around again. “Sorry this ‘break’ didn't end up being much of a break.”
“Hey you couldn’t control it.” Stanley said as he picked up his block and put everything away.
“Yeah I suppose. Also I don't remember if I asked this but want me to mix your DNA with anything from the Ben 10 franchise?” Benjamin asked.
“You didn’t ask, but…” Stanley rubbed his chin. “Maybe…something with magic?”
“I don't think Ben ever had magical aliens, and I haven't met any magic users other than these girls, and they're human.” Benjamin hummed a bit, gesturing to the human six.
“Oh, ok.” Stanley shrugged a bit. “Then how about…something super smart?”
“So brainstorm or Greymatter?” Benjamin asked. “Or Jurrierig so you have speed building as well?”
Stanley smirked a bit. “Why not all three? Unless that would turn me into a freak.”
“Uh, I'm not sure.” Benjamin said with a frown. “And I don't know how to un splice DNA.”
“Oh…then Brainstorm and Jurrierig.” Stanley said with a shrug.
“Alright, let's hope you don't become a monster.” Benjamin nodded slowly, holding up his Omnitrix. “Omnitrix splice target with both Planchaküle and Cerebrocrustacean DNA.”
Stanley was hit by a beam from the omnitrix and he shivered, sliding back a bit. “That…felt weird.” He said as lines appeared on his forehead and a tail popped out from behind him.
Benjamin covered his mouth with a small chuckle. “Ok, kinda looks cool.”
Stanley scratched his chin as his new tail wiggled around. “From your reaction and the fact I can feel some changes, I would say I have a tail now.”
“Yeah, and lines on your head like Brainstorm. So you can probably open your skull.” Benjamin said with a smirk as everyone watched the two in confusion.
“So I am kinda like that plumber black ops guy now?” Stanley asked as he felt his head.
“A little, but your head isn't any bigger.” Benjamin said with a chuckle.
“That's good.” Stanley said then he looked around. “My snow golems are still around, they must have survived the fight.”
“They are?” Sweetie Belle asked, looking around before she was hit in the face with a snowball.
Stanley chuckled and put a hand in his backpack before pulling out another backpack. “Here, you may need this.” He tossed it to Benjamin.
“Whoa, backpack mod.” Benjamin said with a grin.
“It comes with an inventory screen similar to the player’s as well as a built-in crafting table and furnace.” Stanley said before he looked down at his tail with annoyance as it wiggled around.
“Oh, cool!” Benjamin said with a grin, putting it on before blinking a little at the screen. “Is there a way to shrink the screen?”
“I…didn’t think of it, if it is in the way just take your hand out of the backpack.” Stanley said while scratching the back of his head.
“Alright then.” Benjamin said, removing his hand from the backpack as the screen went away. “Oh I'm gonna have some fun with this.”
“I would hope so.” Stanley said as he walked over to a wall and leaned on it. “If you have a token I can summon you and you can get pony scans.”
Benjamin hummed a bit, looking down at the bag of tatinite. “I could probably make one out of Tatentite.”
“Do you know how to make one or need me to tell you?” Stanley asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Uh, no… I don't.” Benjamin said with a frown, looking down at a piece of Tatentite.
“From what I was told, take something, speak a message then toss it into the air.” Stanley told him with crossed arms.
“Hmmm.” Benjamin mumbled a bit, as he looked down at the tatinite. “I'm… not sure.”
“Why not use this?” Argit asked, holding up the null void projector.
“That can work, as long as it represents you or your character.” Stanley said before he smirked. “You could even use one of the plumber’s badges.”
Argit's eyes widened as he quickly put the Null void gun away. “Wait, they're still here!?”
“Well duh!” Benjamin said, pointing to the plumbers a few feet away who were talking amongst themselves.
“You may have to get your eyes checked.” Stanley said with a chuckle.
Argit blushed and frowned a bit, crossing his arms and looking away. “Shut up.”
“Ok Tsundere.” Benjamin chuckled.
Stanley shook his head with a chuckle. “You two must be close to joke around like that.”
Agrit rolled his eyes. “You can say that. We've known each other ever since Benji got here two years ago.”
“Two years? Huh…if you don’t count my time trapped in stone…I have only been like this for two days.” Stanley said after doing some fast math in his head.
“Huh, why were you in stone?” Benjamin asked, frowning.
“Because Celestia and Luna thought I worked for some guy named Sombra, even though I just got done kicking his ass.” Stanley said with a frown.
“Oh, they do tend to jump to conclusions.” Benjamin said with a nod.
Stanley sighed and scratched his head. “I did too…I assumed they were Sombra’s daughters or wives.”
Benjamin couldn't help but smirk and laugh. “Them? His wives or daughters?”
Stanley shrugged and sighed. “I just got done fighting him and they rushed in looking for a fight, I assumed they were on his side.”
“Fair enough.” Argit said with a shrug.
“Yeah, that does make sense.” Benjamin said with a nod.
Stanley smirked and looked over at the plumbers and whistled. “Yo, plumbers, do one of you mind if my friend here borrows your badge for a minute?”
“Our plumber badge?” One of them asked in confusion. “I have an extra one.”
“Perfect, he needs it.” Stanley said while pointing a thumb at Benjamin.
The plumber raised an eyebrow before walking over with an orange plumbers badge. “Um, here ya go.”
“Thanks.” Benjamin said, looking the badge over a little. “Hmm.”
“The message should let others know what kind of person you are, and maybe add a phrase to summon you so that way they don't accidentally summon you.” Stanley said with a small smile.
Benjamin nodded slowly as he thought about something. “My name is Benjamin, I am a Ben 10 displaced. Summon me or don't, doesn't matter.”
Stanley smiled a bit. “Now just toss it into the air and you're done.”
Benjamin did so, tossing it into the sky before it glowed and vanished. “Huh, neat.”
“Hey! My badge!” The plumber shouted, before two more appeared, one landing in Benjamin’s hand the other bonking Stanley on his head.
“Ow…” He grumbled.
“You good?” Benjamin asked him.
“Yeah.” Stankey said as he rubbed his head and picked up the token. “Thanks for the token, if you want when I get home I’ll call you over for an alicorn, and unicorn scan. Seeing as I am in the crystal empire.”
“Sure, it could be cool. Not to mention crystal pony scans.” Benjamin said with a smirk.
“Crystal ponies?” Stnaley asked before he scratched his chin. “You must mean the ponies that live in the empire.”
“Yeah, they're all crystally and shiny while others aren't.” Benjamin said with a shrug.
“Huh, neat.” Stanley said as he pushed off the wall. “Welp, do you want to do anything else while I am here?”
“Not really, I can send ya home if you want.” Benjamin said with a smile.
“Alright.” Stanley nodded before he looked around. “I’ll call ya soon.”
“Um, how do I send ya back?” Benjamin asked.
“All you have to do is say our contract is complete, or something along those lines.” Stanley said as he put the token into his pocket. “Give me a little bit to make sure the princesses and Queen aren’t freaking out.”
“Alright, see ya soon. Our contract is complete.” Benjamin said.
A portal opened behind Stanley, it looked like the end portal but only two blocks high and no other blocks around it. “Strange, see ya soon. Oh and feel free to bring anyone you want.” He said before walking through the portal before it disappeared.
“Anyone wanna come with me?” Benjamin asked the group of girls. “To see a completely alternative equestria different to the one you know of?”
“He…he said princesses, I can't go if Celestia is there…I am not ready to see her.” Sunset said while hugging herself.
Benjamin frowned a bit, before smiling softly at her. “It won't be the same Celestia you know. At least I don't think so, and even if she is you won't be alone.”
“But…” Sunset said before the girls hugged her.
“You don’t have to go, but if this is a different Celestia then it isn’t any different then speaking with Principal Celestia.” Rainbow said with a small smile.
Sunset frowned a bit but sighed. “You're right, but if it is the same one…”
“Then I'll have Stanley send us back.” Benjamin said with a smile.
“Even if that does happen, I am sure Celestia would be happy to see you again.” Fluttershy said softly.
Sunset took a deep breath but nodded a little. “O-ok.”
“Can we go!?” The three little girls asked as they came over.
Applejack, Rainbow, and Rarity all looked uncertain as Benjamin chuckled softly. “He did say I could bring whoever I wanted, I'm sure he's expecting them considering they're kids.”
“Is it safe?” Applejack asked.
Benjamin shrugged slightly. “It should be, " he said that the princesses, so that most likely means Celestia and Luna. And he said he was in the Empire so that most likely means Cadence and Twilight's brother.”
“Twilight has a brother?” Rarity asked.
“Yeah, Shining Armor.” Benjamin said with a grin. “He's married to the princess of love Cadence.”
“Gag.” Rainbow said, making a gag sound while rolling her eyes.
“Well anyway, to clear up any confusion. The reason I know about all this stuff from equestria, is because back home Twilight's life was a TV show.” Benjamin explained. “When she came here the first time was a movie.”
“Her life was a TV show?” Sunset asked, a bit jealous.
“How much did it show of her life?” Rarity asked, sounding uncomfortable.
“Nothing overly private. Mainly her and your pony counterparts adventures and friendship lessons… and a LOT of songs.” Benjamin said with a chuckle. “But after she came here you six got your own show.”
“We got our own show?” Rainbow asked with a smirk. “I was the star wasn’t I?”
Benjamin smirked a bit. “Sorry Skittles, but that honor goes to Sunset mostly. But the show did revolve around your group.”
“Me?” Sunset asked with wide eyes.
“Aww man.” Rainbow pouted and crossed her arms.
Benjamin smirked more as he sat on the steps of the animal shelter, looking around at the destruction. “Mind if I ask y'all some questions? Like I'm mainly trying to confirm fan theories or debunk them.”
“I guess, as long as they aren’t too personal darling.” Rarity said as she crossed her arms.
“Well if they are just too personal, let me know.” Benjamin said with a smile. “First question, Applejack are you and big Mac blood related? There's a theory where your just step siblings.”
“What?! Of course he is my blood kin!” Applejack said, upset.
“Whoa, whoa. I didn't mean anything by it. It's just for the longest time the show didn't show your parents, so people came up with theories. I was just checking to see if it was real here or not.”
Applejack looked away as her eyes started to fill with tears. “Ya haven’t seen our folks ‘cause they passed away years ago, shortly after Bloom was born.”
Benjamin sighed and nodded. “I know, and I'm sorry. The show did show them in a flashback…” Rainbow patted Applejack's back as she held back tears.
Benjamin sighed and rubbed his face with a groan. “Ok, I have something to show you. But it will make you cry Applejack, it's a fan made video about your parents.”
“A fan video of ma parents?” Applebloom asked as she got closer.
Benjamin glanced at her and nodded a little. “It's a song, I'll only play the song since I don't know how they died and if the video is like how it happened I don't want to bring back bad memories.”
Benjamin pulled out an orange phone with three spikes on the top, before playing a song.
Both Applebloom and Applejack start to cry and hug each other. “That is our ma’s voice.”
“Really?” Benjamin asked. “In the show she sounded completely different, but then again different realities, different ways of things being. Do you wanna watch the episode with the flashback? I have the whole show downloaded.”
“I wanna see me!” Rainbow shouted before Rarity pulled her back.
“Ah…ah think we need some time before that Ben.” Applejack said softly.
“Alright, sorry if I was being pushy.” Benjamin said with a small smile. “But if you ever want to watch it or even see what your parents looked like in the show I have pictures.”
“Can ah see?!” Applebloom asked with a wide smile.
Benjamin glanced at Applejack who sighed and nodded a little, before he showed applebloom a picture of two ponies. “Those are mah parents as ponies? They're so cute!”
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looked as well and smiled. “They are kinda cute.”
“So, since things got out of hand just now. Sorry again Applejack. I actually only have one more question about a Fan theory and it involves you Sunset.”
“Me?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes, if it's too personal again just say so. But… Do you have a brother named Sunburst?” Benjamin asked, arching an eyebrow as her friends looked at her.
Sunset’s eyes widened. “Yes, but I haven’t seen him since I was a filly.”
Benjamin grimmed more. “Really? Oh thank goodness, you have no idea how many people assumed you two were related just because of how similar you looked. And you'll be happy to hear he got into Celestia’s school.”
Sunset chuckled a bit and tried to hide her smile. “He did? Good for him.”
“Yeah but from what the show said, he doesn't exactly have magic strong enough to do some spells.” Benjamin said with a shrug, before a vortex opened up. “Oh looks like it's time.”
“Oh…poor colt.” Sunset said before she looked at the vortex. “Are you sure I should go?”
“Do you want to?” Benjamin asked with a gentle smile.
“Well…I am still scared of Celesria but…seeing another version of her may help.” Sunset said nervously.
Benjamin rubbed his chin a bit as the other girls hugged Sunset again. “How about I give you an ID mask so she won't know it's you right away? That way when you're ready you can show her it's you.”
“O-ok.” Sunset with a slow nod.
Benjamin smiled a little as he pulled out another ID mask and began fiddling with it. “You coming too Argit?”
“Are you kidding? After today I'm gonna sleep for a year!” Argit said crossing his arms.
“Are ya sure miss? Don’t ya want to see another world?” Applebloom asked.
Argit shrugged. “Eh, I've been to other planets. They're all relatively the same so it doesn't matter. Besides, I'm not a big pony person.”
“Well…ok, we’ll see ya when we get back.” Applebloom said before she and her friends ran through the vortex.
Benjamin facepalmed with a groan before passing the ID mask to Sunset. “Here, I programmed it to make you look like a person from another show I know of.” He said rushing through the portal with the others.
“W-wait for me!” Sunset said as she jumped through the closing portal, while putting on the mask.
The group looked around in confusion as they excited the portal, noticing all the crystal walls and floor. “Whoa, this place is way more sparkly in person.” Benjamin said.
“Yeah, I think I will have to wear sunglasses when the sun shines on this place.” Stanley said from their left, looking over they saw him standing next to a group of anthro ponies. There was a tall white one with wings and a horn, wearing what seemed like white and good armor with a dress underneath. A blue one who also had wings and a horn, she was wearing armor as well, but hers was dark blue and black. A pink one with wings and a horn, she was in a beautiful light pink dress. A tall unicorn woman in a blue dress sitting in a throne and lastly a male unicorn in armor with blue hair.
“Whoa, anthropomorphized world.” Benjamin said, blinking in surprise. “When you said Ponies I was assuming quadrupedal.” He said before bowing to them. “Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Prince Shining Armor… sorry to say I do not know you.” He said pointing at the unicorn mare.
“I am queen Amore.” She said with a small smile. “Queen of the crystal empire.”
“What do you mean quadrupedal? Wouldn’t that just make them animals?” Stanley asked while scratching his head.
“I take it you weren't a fan of the my little pony Friendship is magic television show.”
Benjamin raised an eyebrow, before looking at Amore. “Apologies, your majesty, where I come from. I have some knowledge of this world and I did not know of you. All I knew of was Sombra and then Princess Cadence ruling the empire.”
Amore frowned a bit and glanced at Cadence for a second. “Yes, Sombra was defeated and she did rule for a short time before I was saved by Stanley.”
“Ah, again I apologize for my ignorance.” Benjamin said, before looking at Stanley. “So what now?”
“Well, how about you get some scans while you're here and then we can walk around the empire before it gets too late.” He said with a shrug then he smirked. “I am sure the princesses would also like to see a male alicorn.”
Benjamin frowned a bit with a sigh as he rubbed his face. “I swear If this ends up like Attea and Bullfrag I'm gonna punch you.”
Stanley smirked a bit as the ponies looked confused. “Relax, you are only here for however long you want. If they start acting like school children I’ll just send you home.”
Benjamin groaned a bit as the humans with them looked confused as well as the ponies. “Fine… If I may princesses. My watch lets me transform into any species I meet that's different from my own DNA. Would it be alright if I scanned one of you?”
“Stanley explained this to us, and it would be interesting to see.” Celestia said with a nod as she stepped forward.
Benjamin nodded and held up his Omnitrix, before the dial pad beeped. “Multiple uncataloged DNA detected, acquiring samples.”
“I forgot that this version did that.” Benjamin said, scratching his cheek.
“It won’t hurt us will it?” Shining Armor asked as he held a spear ready.
Benjamin arched an eyebrow before looking down at his Omnitrix. “Samples acquired.” it beeped.
“Did it feel like it hurt?” Benjamin asked him with a grin.
Shining frowned but lowered his spear. “No.”
“Chill man, he is harmless unless you attack him first.” Stanley said as he walked over and scratched his chin, looking at the omnitrix.
“I may turn into XLR8 to get the rest of the scans here.” Benjamin said, rubbing his chin. “Dragon, hippogriff, yak, so on.”
“Before you do, let me see your omnitrix for a moment?” Stanley asked as he placed his command block down between them.
“Uh sure?” Benjamin said, confused as he removed his Omnitrix and passed it to Stanley.
“It can be removed!? Can I try!?” Scootaloo asked excitedly.
“No.” Both Stanley and Benjamin said at the same time as Stanley placed the omnitrix above his command block, then he started typing and humming.
“Aww.” Scootaloo said pointing.
“Sorry kid, it's too dangerous.” Benjamin said to her.
Stanley typed a few more things before the command block zapped the omnitrix a few times. “Done.” He handed the watch back to Benjamin.
“Um, what did you do?” Benjamin asked.
“Copied the blue prints onto the block.” Stanley said with a smirk.
Benjamin's eyes widened. “Omnitrix mod… wait… can you spawn anything?”
“Maybe, or are you asking if I got spawn eggs of normal minecraft mobs?” Stanley said as he crossed his arms.
“Minecraft mobs.” Benjamin said, crossing his arms. “Because I'm pretty sure villagers, illagers, and Piglings are smart enough for scans.”
“Yeah I can, just a sec.” Stanley said as he reached into his backpack and pulled out three spawn eggs. “Let’s go outside to do this.”
“Alright.” Benjamin said with a nod.
Stanley looked around at the other humans and frowned. “Who is she?” He asked, pointing at Sunset.
“Oh that's Sunny.” Benjamin said with a grin. “She's another friend from back home.”
“U-um, yes h-hello.” She said bowing to them, as she noticed she was now a girl with an orange shirt and pink hair.
“Huh, ok.” He shrugged before he started walking. “We will be outside.” He told the princesses and queen.
“Ok.” Amore said with a gentle smile as Celestia stared at Sunset.
“Do I know you?” She asked, arching an eyebrow. “Your voice sounds familiar.”
“N-no ma’am…” She said while looking down nervously.
“Are you sure?” Celestia asked with a frown. “Your voice reminds me of a dear student of mine…”
Stanley looked back. “Did Sunset not want to come?” He asked Benjamin from the door.
Benjamin glanced back at the princesses and the girls, before whispering to Stanley. “Sunny is Sunset, I gave her an ID mask. She and her Celestia had a falling out so she's nervous.”
“Oh.” Stanley said softly before he shrugged. “Well it isn’t any of my business.”
Benjamin nodded softly as they walked outside. “Yeah, I was hoping it'll help her relax a bit.”
“Maybe, but if I got on her bad side I would be worried too, I mean I don’t want to get turned to stone again.” Stanley said as they walked down some stairs.
“I think it's more of… they had a sort of mother daughter relationship type thing.” Benjamin said with a sigh.
“Oh.” Stanley said with a sigh and scratched his head. “Well I may have an idea that would help.”
“Oh?” Benjamin asked, walking outside.
“Yep.” Stanley smirked a bit before he held out a handful of ender pearls. “Here, toss them as far as you can and meet up with me on the edge of town.”
“Um alright, but I think this might be something they should deal with themselves. Plus it's not the same Celestia and Sunset; these two don't know each other at all.” Benjamin said.
Stanley shrugged a bit before he tossed an ender pearl across town. “Alright, welp, see ya soon.” Then he teleported.
Benjamin raised an eyebrow again, bed pulling his arm back as far as he could and chucked the pearl sending it all the way to the edge of the city.
Stanley was making some cages with lava traps above them when Benjamin arrived. “There you are.”
“Preparing to kill them once I scan them?” Benjamin asked with a grin.
“Yeah, I mean they are minecraft mobs, not real people.” Stanley said with a shrug.
“I mean the Illager and Piglin I understand but why the villager?” Benjamin asked. “Also, think the enderman is smart enough to scan?”
“Worth a shot, there are some theories that they used to be ancient builders.” Stanley said as he made another cage. “And I don’t have a village set up for villagers yet so best not to make too many.”
“Ah, ok.” Benjamin said with a nod. “And um, thanks for all the gold and stuff… I'm gonna need it.”
“I bet, now that we are stuck in new worlds with no way to go home.” Stanley said with a frown as he got up on top of the cages.
“Well for me it's not that big of a deal.” Benjamin said, shrugging. “This life is better than the one I had before. I was mainly referring to the fact that Scootaloo is either homeless or running away.”
“Scootaloo…that is the one with purple hair right?” Stanley asked as he dropped the eggs into each cage, spawning a villager, illager, Pigling and an enderman.
“Yep.” Benjamin nodded as his Omnitrix beebed again, starting to scan the four mobs.
“H-how’d you know about that?” A voice asked them, as Scootaloo came up behind them.
“Damn she is fast.” Stanley said before he filled the cages with lava, but the enderman teleported away. “Shit, I should have seen that coming.”
Benjamin looked at Scootaloo for a moment and sighed softly, walking over and kneeling down. “Because Argit looked through your stuff that first night you three slept over. With how you acted to seeing the TV and your clothes being all torn up. Sure you look like a tomboy, but I can tell you don't normally get three meals a day. You're practically skin and bones, so I asked him to look through your stuff to see what was going on.”
“You looked through my stuff!?” She asked as she started to back away.
Benjamin sighed a little bit. “Only because we were worried about you, we didn't steal anything and we didn't look at anything private.”
“Everything in my bag is private!” Scootaloo yelled as she frowned at Benjamin.
“Look kid, I wasn’t there but I am a good…somewhat good judge of character, and Benjamin honestly seems worried for you, so how about you scold him about the bag thing and then work out some kind of deal where you get to stay at his place till you can get a home of your own.” Stanley said as he started cleaning up the cages.
Scootaloo's eyes widened in surprise. “Y-you’d let me live with you?”
Benjamin smiled softly as he gently ruffled her head. “Course I would, I can tell you're a smart if not rambunctious kid. I know what it's like on the streets and I wouldn't want you to go through that anymore…. If you want to live with me, that is, we did just meet and all.”
Scootaloo looked away for a moment. “Give me some time to think about it.”
“Of course. And if you need any food or anything, just stop by ok?” Benjamin asked with a grin.
“I will keep it in mind.” Scootaloo said before Stanley walked up to them.
“Finished cleaning up the cages, if you are gonna go scanning other creatures try to look like one of the locals, I don’t want to be blamed for anything you do.” He said before giving him a compass. “Before you go rest in a minecraft bed then you can find your way back here with that.”
“Alright.” Benjamin said with a nod and a grin, looking at Scootaloo. “Wanna come squirt?”
“I guess.” She said with her arms crossed.
“Lets head back to the castle, I still need to find a house of my own but it is already night out.” Stanley said as he walked back to the castle and looked at the sky.
Benjamin looked up at the sky as well as they walked. “Huh, ok then.” Scootaloo stared at the ground with a frown, stealing glances at Benjamin once in a while.
After a while they made it back to the castle and Stanley saw the crystal heart for the first time. “Huh, what is that?”
“That's the crystal heart.” Benjamin said. “It's what protects the empire from the cold and evil magic.”
“Huh, neat.” Stanley said with a smirk. “I am gonna make one later.”
“You probably shouldn't mess with it. Without it the empire would more than likely fall, and who knows what the command block will do to it.” Benjamin said with a small shrug.
“I can try to copy it without using the real one.” Stanley said as he started walking up the stairs.
“Maybe.” Benjamin said, looking at Scootaloo. “You ok kid?”
“I am thinking.” She said before looking away from him.
“Alright, just making sure you weren't freaking out.” Benjamin said, as they walked into the castle.
Stanley looked around and smirked before he walked past Sunset, taking her ID mask as he did.
“Hey!” Sunset yelled worriedly, looking afraid as The ponies stared at her in shock and confusion.
“Changeling!” Shining armor yelled, holding up his spear.
“The hell is a changeling? And do they use these?” Stanley asked as he held up the mask.
“Changelings are a species here that use magic to transform.” Benjamin said, taking the ID mask and slapping him upside the head hard. “And not cool man!”
Sunset whimpered a little as her friends hugged her close. “S-sunset? Is… that you?” Celestia asked in a soft voice.
“Ow! How else was she gonna face her? Sometimes people need a push.” Stanley said while rubbing his head.
“How about when she was ready!” Benjamin said with a frown as Sunset shook more, her legs nearly giving out. “Look at her, she's on the verge of a panic attack!”
Stanley rubbed the back of his head and sighed. “Ok, maybe I went overboard by taking the mask off her, but look at Celestia, she doesn’t seem pissed at all.”
“I-i don't understand…” Celestia said softly, walking over to the still panicking Sunset.
Sunset panicked and tried to run but her legs gave out and she fell to the ground. “Sunset!” Celestia said, kneeling down and holding her. “Are you ok!?”
“I…I am….not your Sunset.” She said weakly.
Celestia sighed softly and hugged her. “I know, but it is so nice to hold a version of you in my arms again.”
“Aww.” Stanley said before he walked over to a wall and leaned on it.
Sunset shook more before slowly hugging Celestia back. “I…I’m sorry.” She said weakly.
Celestia shook her head. “It's in the past.”
“I…I ran away after you…after you banished me from the library…my heart was full of hate.”
“I know, but I can tell this version of you had learned from your mistakes, and I can only pray the Sunset from this world can learn that as well.” Celestia said with a gentle smile.
“I-if she is in Canterlot high then I am sure she will.” Sunset said with a sniffle. She then looked at the humans that came with her. “These are some of my friends.”
Celestia looked at them and smiled softly. “Thank you all for helping her.”
Applejack rubbed her head, Rainbow smiled and puffed out her chest, and Rarity smiled before bowing her head. “O-oh course, Sunset is our dear friend. We'd do anything for her.” Fluttershy said with a soft gentle smile as Pinkie bounced and clapped.
Stanley looked over at Benjamin. “Here, take this bed.” He handed over a minecraft bed.
“Thanks.” Benjamin said, looking at the basic red bed. “So… Do I just plop it down and lay in it?”
“Yep.” Stanley nodded before he scratched his head. “But check the compass before you lay down then check it once you gotten up. The compass should be pointing towards the bed after that.”
Benjamin looked at everyone that was watching him as he shrugged a bit, before putting it down and looking at the compass. “This is weird.” He said, before jumping into the bed and laying down. He got up a minute later and looked at the compass. “Yep it's pointing to the bed.”
“Alright, now you can just follow it back after you scan everything.” Stanley said with a smile.
“Cool, you coming kid?” Benjamin asked Scootaloo, surprising the rainbooms.
“I can come?” Scootaloo asked.
“She can go?” The others asked as Benjamin shrugged.
“Not fair!” The other two crusaders said.
“I offered before but I'm pretty sure she was distracted by something.” Benjamin said before smirking. “Unless you don't want to experience superSonic speeds while seeing cool Dragons, yaks, sea serpents and such.”
“Just be careful man. Who knows what this crazy world is like.” Stanley said as he stayed by the wall.
Scootaloo was visibly vibrating in excitement before rushing over to Benjamin. “Let's go, let's go, let's go!’
Benjamin chuckled softly before smirking. “All I'm gonna do is turn into XLR8 and rush around while scanning…. And maybe stopping by Ponyville to mess with them a little and let Scootaloo meet her pony counterpart.”
“That's Scootaloo?” Luna asked in surprise, before looking at the other crusaders and facepaling. “How did we not notice this.”
“Alright, just don’t get hurt and watch out for zombies and giant spiders.” Stanley said with a smirk.
“Giant spiders and zombies… now I wish I had a nemetrix.” Benjamin chuckled softly, touching his Omnitrix before humming and grinning, turning into a tall Alicorn with a muscular physique. A single orange shoulder pad with spikes on his left shoulder with black pants, and two large gray wings to match his coat and orange mane. “If that's the case, we'll just fly over them.”
“Whoa!” The ponies said in awe.
“Ha! You still have that mad max look.” Stanley said with a laugh.
Benjamin chuckled softly. “So what you're saying is I'm still a badass.”
Stanley rolled his eyes while smiling. “I am saying you look like a try hard edgelord.”
“And I didn't before? I must be losing my touch.” Benjamin chuckled a bit, before kneeling down near Scootaloo. “Climb on my back.”
She smiled widely as she climbed on his back, before he walked over to a window and flew out after opening it. “Weee!”
“He was hot.” Luna said suddenly, as Applejack and Rarity covered their sister's ears.
“Oh brother.” Stanley rolled his eyes.
“Luna please.” Celestia sighed, before smiling at Sunset. “Is there anything you want to do together?”
“I don't know…” Sunset said softly as she looked down.
Celestia smiled softly as she hugged her again. “Don't worry, just take your time. Please just know I'm not mad.”
“I…I am so sorry.” Sunset said as she hugged Celestia back.
“I know, so am I.” Celestia said with a sad smile, as the rainbooms looked out of place.
“Um… what should we do?” Applejack asked awkwardly.
“Oh I'd love to see some fashion from this wonderful place, it could help my career take off!” Rarity said with a wide smile.
“As you are guests of Stanley you are welcome to explore but I will assign guards to each of you to make sure you don’t get lost, and as you are from another world I can give you a small amount of money to buy some souvenirs.” Queen Amore said with a smile.
“Oh my thank you!” Rarity said with a big smile and bowing.
“Thank ya kindly!” Both apples said with bows as Fluttershy smiled softly.
“Yay! New treats!” Pinkie giggled.
Queen Amore smiled warmly. “Stanley saved my life, this is the least I can do.”
“Both our worlds have great heroes, Benjamin and Stanley both fought off a bully alien!” Sweetie said with a smile. “It was so cool!”
“Alien?” Amore asked, confused by the word.
Applebloom nodded. “Yeah! Something from another planet, it destroyed half the city, but they teamed up and kicked his butt!”
“Truly?” Amore asked with a surprised look.
“Oh yeah, He seemed big but he was literally the size of an infant in a big mechanical suit.” Stanley laughed.
Pinkie giggled and nodded. “He even had a diaper on.”
Amore covered her mouth to try and suppress a giggle. “That device on his wrist, you called it the Omnitrix correct?” She asked Stanley. “How does it work?”
“Well…it is super advanced technology that I couldn't possibly tell you how it works on a technical level, but basically it's stores DNA, the smallest part of a living being, and lets the wearer transform into whatever species they select however they don't turn into a clown but more like what they would've look like if they were born that species.” Stanley said before adding.
“Not only that but it also transforms the wearer into the prime example of that species so perfectly fit in every way. There's also a bunch of safety features that keep it from being just stolen or the one wearing it from dying.”
“S-so he's unstoppable?” Shining Armor asked in shock.
“Pretty much.” Stanley said with a shrug. “I mean he can still be knocked unconscious and tied up, but you can’t kill him or remove the omnitrix without him doing so.”
“That is dangerous.” Shining said, shaking his head in disbelief.
“Why? Because you can't control him?” Stanley asked with a frown.
“What? No! What happens if that watch malfunctions or he goes crazy!” Shining said with a deep frown. “What is anypony supposed to do if that happens!”
“Well first off, if the watch malfunctions it will probably send a signal out and the creator can just teleport right to him and fix it. If he goes nuts there is a police force made up of almost every alien that he has access to that can stop him.” Stanley said with a small frown.
“And how much destruction and potential death could be caused before they arrive?” Shining Armor asked, crossing his arms. “I'm not saying the guy is gonna do any of that, but denying he's dangerous is just stupid.”
“Oh I know he is dangerous, but you have to realize if you treat someone as a threat eventually they will become one.” Stanley told him before adding. “Treat someone like a monster long enough and they'll become one.”
Shining Armor hummed a bit, as Amore gave out handfuls of money to the human six. “Fair enough I suppose.”
Stanley hummed a bit. “Your highness, I think I will go looking for a house while my friends explore the empire, please don’t let anyone move this bed.”
“Very well, he could have put it in a more convenient spot though.” Amore said with a small grin, looking at the bed in the middle of the throne room.
Stanley chuckled and smirked. “True, oh and sometime later could I have access to any books that have information on the crystal heart? I want to try and create my own version.”
“Create your own…?” Amore asked with a confused look, before the doors burst open and an orange velosotaper-like creature came to a stop with Scootaloo on its back.
“I Fd up!” It said, turning into Benjamin with a flash.
Stanley blinked a few times. “Did you just censor yourself?”
Benjamin pointed to the crusaders. “Kids. But anyway, I turned into XLR8 and when I went to scan a griffon nearby Scootaloo wandered into the pillager base! There's a Ravager after us, and I have never beaten one in the game before!”
Stanley blinked again before he sighed. “How far away is it?” He said equipping his armor as well as a shield and sword.
“Um, probably about ten minutes or so.” Benjamin said, rubbing his chin. “Also, uh do you have any milk? I think I got the bad omen effect after killing a bannerman that tried to shoot Scootaloo.”
“It was cool!” Scootaloo said happily.
Stanley started to walk past them but dropped a bucket of milk. “Here you go, now I have to go fight.”
“How do I drink this?” Benjamin asked, holding the flat Minecraft bucket before looking at Stanley. “I can distract it for you, in YouTube videos I watched about Minecraft that was the best way to deal with them.”
“I got it, and just hold it to your lips.” Stanley said before he left the throne room.
Benjamin raised an eyebrow as he put the milk up to his lips and took a sip. “Huh, neat… I feel bad for leaving it to him..”
“Then go help.” Scootaloo said as she watched him drink from the bucket. “Are you really drinking from a flat bucket?”
“Yup “ Benjamin said as the white on the bucket vanished and he blinked. “Huh, the bad omen effect must act differently to non minecrstians… good to know. Time to kick some butt.” He said rushing out the door.
When Benjamin caught up with Stanley he was already outside and working to the edge of town. “Oh, you are coming?”
“Yep, once I drank the milk I wasn't afraid of the ravager anymore. The Minecraft effects seem to have different effects on non minecrstians.” Benjamin said before smirking. “Besides, I owe you for helping with Volcanus.”
“Huh, I will have to do some experimentation with different potions and effects.” Stanley said as he scratched his chin.
“Anyway, what's the plan?” Benjamin asked with a grin.
“You keep it from getting to the city and I build a wall around it then we stab it till it dies.” Stanley said as he held up his sword.
“Why not surround it with water and shoot it with arrows?” Benjamin asked, looking through his scans.
Stanley scratched his chin. “I suppose that could work.”
“You ok? I know you wanted a break but all you've done is fight.” Benjamin said with a small frown.
“Trust me, after I get some rest I am putting up some automated defenses around the empire and then I'm going to just relax for a week. I…feel guilty that they have to deal with Minecraft mobs because I was sent to their world.” Stanley said as his forehead made some soft clicking sounds.
Benjamin nodded slowly, before pointing to the distance. “There it is.”
“I see it.” Stanley held up a few buckets of water. “Here, try to trap it in water, I got a plan.”
“Alright, want me to put it in a ditch with Armadrillo?” Benjamin asked.
“That works.” Stanley nodded with a smile as he got more buckets ready.
Benjamin smiled a bit as he touched his ultimatrix, suddenly turning into a tall yellow alien with metallic shoulder pads and orange spikes. His hands became drills before slamming them into the ground and cracking it around the rushing monster, causing the ground beneath it to crumble and fall. “Done!”
“Good work, now pour water on the edges.” Stanley said as he started doing just that.
Benjamin nodded and grabbed the buckets of water, dumping them onto the edges as the hole began flooding with water. Stanley looked down at the monster and rubbed his hands together as his forehead started to open and lightning sparks around the top of his brian.
“Oh I see what you're going for.” Benjamin said with a smile, turning back to his human form before shifting into a small orange and black battery like an alien with a single spike on his head. “Let's do this!” He said, his voice high pitched now.
“Say hello to about a hundred volts!” Stanley said before shooting a bolt of lightning at the water and shocked the Ravager.
The ravager made multiple grunting noises before Benjamin started zapping the water as well, causing it to roar a little. “Whoa, I've never heard them make that sound before!”
“They weren’t real before.” Stanley said as he kept zapping the water.
“Fair enough!” Benjamin said as he kept zapping the water. “How long until this thing dies!”
“From its reaction I would say right about…now.” Stanley said before the ravager fell over and disappeared.
Benjamin sighed a bit as he looked at the hole. “What should we do about the hole?”
Stanley closed his forehead and held up some dirt blocks. “Fill it in?”
“Too bad we can't just pour lava in it and let it turn into obsidian… or make liquefied mud too poor in.” Benjamin said, taking some dirt as they started to fill it in, with the water source blocks became ice.
Stanley shrugged as he filled in the hole as well. “My blocks still work on minecraft physics, I may try to fix that later. But for now it works in my favor.”
“Fair enough.” Benjamin said with a sigh as he looked back up at the castle. “The next time I summon you I'll make sure it's a relaxing time.”
“I would like that, though if you do summon me when something big is happening I won’t mind as long as I get some tech.” Stanley said as they finished filling the hole.
“Alright, next time you can have a null void gun.” Benjamin said with a grin before sighing. “I think I'm ready to head home, I wonder how everyone else is.”
“Exploring the city, Amore gave them some money for souvenirs, and if you can get it I would prefer a hoverboard.” Stanley said as he started walking back to the castle.
“Alright… thanks for helping me with the scans and such.” Benjamin said with a grin. “Also I have an idea I'd like your help with once I get everything settled back home.”
“Sure, just give me a call when you need me.” Stanley said with a smile and looked ahead. “If I manage to make a copy of the heart I’ll give you one.”
“Cool, not sure what it'll do for my world but cool.” Benjamin said with a smile.
“Make you a magical shield around your house?” Stanley asked, as if it was obvious.“
“Well maybe, or even a shield for the whole city in case another alien attacked.” Benjamin said as they got back to the throne room, hearing people talking.
“Come on Scoots, don't you wanna see the city?” Rainbow’s voice asked.
“Well… of course I do, but you taught me to be loyal to your friends. Benjamin's our friend right? It wouldn't be right if we left him out of seeing the city with us.” Scootaloo said as the two displaced opened the door.
“Yo, we are back, we beat the monster.” Stanley said as he walked over and destroyed the bed in the middle of the room.
Rainbow looked at Scootaloo who stared at Benjamin nervously for a moment. “Aren't you gonna ask him?”
“Ask me what?” Benjamin asked, arching an eyebrow.
“Well…um….” Scootaloo started to say.
Benjamin smiled a little on one side as Scootaloo fidgeted a little. “Take your time.”
Scootaloo sighed a bit. “Um… do you wanna check out the city with me, Sunset and Rainbow?”
Benjamin smiled a bit. “Sure kid, I will even get you something you want.”
Scootaloo smiled widely. “Really!? Sweet!”
Benjamin chuckled a bit as he looked at Sunset. “You doing ok?”
“I…I had a long talk with Celestia and…I feel a little better but I am emotionally drained.” Sunset said with a small tired smile.
Benjamin grinned a bit. “I bet you could use a nap. Let's get going so we can get back.”
Sunset nodded her head a bit. “Yeah.”
The group smiled more as they walked out of the throne room, with the ponies smiling softly at them.
