Psychopathic protector

“...yeah, we're goin’ ta Twilight Fer this.”

“Um… why Applejack?” Sweetie belle asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Well, ah don't know about you girls, but ah ain't know nothin’ bout no alien business, Twilight did mention she was goin’ ta research Tha' stars a few days ago so she might be able ta help.” Applejack explains with a tip of her hat.

“I don't think I'm from space.” The hedgehog said with a confused blink. “Or maybe I am? I don't know how I got here.”

“An that's why we're goin’ ta Twilight.” Applejack spoke resolutely.

“Um, ok.” He said with a small shrug. “But… where does this, Twilight, live exactly…?”

“The library in town.” Applebloom said with a small smile.

“oh… how are you planning on getting me there? I mean, it's pretty obvious taking me on a walk through town would just cause a panic.” Justin asks with a frown as he tilts his head.

“We’ll put ya in the cart with the apples and cover ya up.” Applejack said.

Justin blinks before chuckling and shaking his head again, this time with a small grin. “Yeah, no. There would be too many variables for that to work, here, I've got an idea of my own that might work.”

“Like what?” Applejack asked, raising an eyebrow.

“It's an ability I have, it lets me teleport to a place I can think of, but not only that, I can also teleport to places that others think of, all that is needed is physical contact.” Justin explains as he raises his left hand.

Applejack backed away a little. “What in Tarnation makes ya think ahll let y'all touch us!? We just met ya!”

“Wh- NOT LIKE THAT?! I meant I needed to place my hand on your back to form a link! You know, so we can teleport INSIDE the library?” Justin recoils as he sticks out his tongue in childish disgust.

“Not like that ya git!” Applejack yelled with a blush. “Ya just admitted yer an alien! We don't know if ya got any diseases that could spread ta us through contact!”

“....I'm wearing gloves though?” Justin mumbled confusedly with a tilt of his head. “And I already picked up those three as I carried them over here, so…”

Applejack groaned a little as she face hoofed. “That don't mean… whatever just do it.”

“Alright, just think about the inside of the library, you three can come to, I know you got some questions you want answered.” Justin shrugs before placing his hand on Applejack's back.

The CMC rushed over and huddled next to AppleJack as she thought about the inside of the library. Justin nodded before exclaiming. “CHAOS CONTROL!”

The group stared in surprise before they were all teleported to the inside of Twilight's library, Justin looking around as he sees a circular table in the middle of the room surrounded by a wall filled with books, as well as a staircase that leads to an upstairs area, and stairs leading to a basement on the other side of the room.

“Huh, this is the library, right?” Justin asks before turning to the four ponies and noticing their expressions. “Uh…why are you looking at me like that?”

“Chaos… control?” Applejack asked slowly, slowly backing away from him. “Ya work for Discord don't ya!”

Justin blinks once, then twice, then turns to the fillies. “...what's a Discord?”

“He's the spirit of chaos and disharmony.” Applebloom said slowly, while slowly hiding behind Applejack.

“Ah. Welp…I should probably stay away from him… I do NOT want to know what he can do to the chaos energy in me…” Justin mumbled to himself as he tapped his chin in thought.

“Chaos energy?” Sweetie belle asked, looking at him with a confused frown.

“E-heh… well, from what I can remember about myself… I'm not technically alive like you four are… you see, I exist because of the energy generated by seven artifact gems called the Chaos Emeralds.” Justin explains with an awkward chuckle as he notices someone coming down the stairs. “Oh, who's that?”

“Applejack, girls? What's going… on?” A purple unicorn mare asked as she slowly walked down the stairs, pausing as she saw Justin.

“Twilight, we found an alien!” Scootaloo said with a grin.

“...hi.” Justin speaks, before being coated in a purple aura and thrown into a wall as the purple unicorn mare known as Twilight, shrieks in fear.

“What is that thing!” Twilight shouted, before appearing in front of the others. “I'll hold it back, you four go get help!”

“.......Nice to meet ya too…” Justin mumbled with a huff as he crossed his arms and pouted.

“Twilight stop! He's our friend, he saved us!” Scootaloo yelled, getting between Justin and Twilight.

“Scoots. Calm down, I'm fine.” Justin reassured, shrugging to prove his point.

“What? Saved you?” Twilight asked in confusion, looking between the girls and Justin.

“I kicked a large wooden wolf then carried these three to Apples over there.” Justin shrugs as he lazily points at Applejack.

“Mah name is Applejack.” Applejack said with a frown before looking at Twilight. “He says he's an alien.”

“I just said I'm not from this world, don't know if I'm from another planet or entire universe yet.” Justin clarifies with a shrug.

Twilight looked at them all in disbelief before tapping her chin. “That… shouldn't be possible. There's never been any proof of other life in the universe.”

“Oh, I know. But seeing as I am talking to sentient talking pastel ponies in the body of an overpowered anthropomorphic hedgehog… I'm pretty sure I'm nowhere I remember…..at all.” Justin deadpans as he rolls his eyes… unnoticed by any of the others due to the spiraling nature of his eyes.

Twilight frowned at him before tapping her chin. “I'll have to run some tests to be positive you don't have any harmful diseases a to us.”

“.....I'm gonna be strapped to machine, aren't I.” Justin murmured, looking at the fillies, deadpanning as they giggled.

“Most likely.” They said as Twilight started pacing around while thinking.

“...do any of you know what she's saying?” Justin asks, confused at the many, many large words the purple unicorn was saying.

“Something about tests and experiments.” Scootaloo said.

“.....yeah, I'm just gonna…” Justin murmurs as he walks over to the rambling unicorn… and boops her on the snout.

“What was that?” Twilight asked, her muzzle scrunching up.

“You were rambling…. Plus you ponies are cute.” Justin answers with a shrug.

Twilight blushed a little and frowned at him. “Please don't do that again.”

“...alright, sorry, heh.” Justin chuckles as he rubs the back of his head.

Twilight sighed a little and shook her head. “I'll have to write to Celestia about this.”

“Hm?” Justin hums as he looks at Twilight. “Who's Celestia?”

“She's the top princess in the land.” Twilight said with a hum as she began writing a letter.

“I- wait, Princess?! There's royalty here?!” Justin exclaims in shock.

“Of course there is, don't you have royalty where yer from?” Applebloom asked him with a confused look.

“No??? Well, I know the world this body is from had royalty, but the world I am from doesn't…” Justin mumbled as he scratched his head in thought.

“Wait what?” Twilight asked with a frown. “Your body and mind are from two different worlds?” ds?”

“Yup. Though…it's kinda a bit more complicated than that….it's probably a good idea to send a letter to Celestia, any anyone else you think would be important to know about me, cause I really do not want to have to explain this more times than I have to….” Justin mumbled as he scratches his chin and looks off to the side.

Twilight frowned more as she quickly wrote a letter. “Barb!”

A few seconds after Twilight's shout, a short, and pleasantly chubby purple feminine dragon runs down the stairs as she looks at Twilight. “Yes Twilight?” the short dragoness asks, not noticing Justin.

“I need you to send this letter to the princess.” Twilight said, passing the letter to the dragoness.

Barb takes the letter and nods before blowing a puff of green flames over the letter, causing the letter to turn into a cloud of magical dust that floats up and out of a window, Barb then turns to Twilight and asks. “What was the letter about, Twilight?”

“Him.” Twilight said, pointing at Justin, who chuckles nervously with a small wave. “...Hi.”

Barb stared at him in surprise for a while, before smiling nervously and waving at him with an unnoticed blush. “H-hi.”

“So. Now what.” Justin mumbled as he begins to stretch.

“Now we sit and wait for the princess, but I do have some questions for you.” Twilight said while pulling out some paper and notepads and a pencil, all the while Barb just stared at Justin with a small blush on her face.

“...eh, I've got some time to spare, so sure! Under the condition that for every question I answer, you gotta answer one of mine, I'll ask them all at a later date, deal?” Justin asked as he stretched some more.

“That's fair enough.” Twilight decides with a small smile.

“So, what's your first question, sparkles?” Justin asks as he begins to stretch his arms and hands.

“What are you?” Twilight asked, while Barb blushed more at the stretching.

“Right now? A Mobian, specifically, a hedgehog Mobian, Mobians are essentially anthropomorphic animals of all shapes and sizes, and sometimes, very rarely, they gain unique traits and or abilities.” Justin explains as he begins to do leg exercises.

“Alright, what kinds of abilities do you have?” Twilight asked, writing what he said down.

“Ah. That's….a long list…probably best saved for when everyone gets here.” Justin murmurs as he continues his prolonged stretches, Twilight raising an eyebrow at this.

“What for?” She asked, looking confused.

“...well, there's a lot that I can do that no normal mobian can do, and it's not under my own power either… and I'd rather everyone be here when I explain it after seeing how ms. Applejack reacted to the source of my power.” Justin explains as he begins to stretch his fingers.

Twilight nodded slowly before Barb spoke up. “U-um isn't it his turn to ask questions?”

“...I completely forgot about my side of the deal there, heh.” Justin chuckles to himself before gently patting Barb on her head. “Thanks for reminding me, bud.”

Barb blushed more and nodded timidly as Twilight smiled a little. “Right, sorry. What are your questions?”

“Hm, well, the main thing I want to know right now…what is the name of this kingdom? The leaders of this kingdom? And lastly, the name of the planet.” Justin asks as he notices Barbs timid blush and can't help but be captivated by it.

“Oh, um. Equestria, princess’s Celestia and Luna. And Equis.” Twilight explained while Barb looked away bashfully.

“Hm…nope, not familiar in any way, man, I thought that could have given me at least something to work with…” Justin mutters with a pout, causing Barb's face to glow a faint red for a short second.

“So you've never heard of this world?” Barb asked him quietly. tly

“Nope.”Justin admits with a shrug before a thoughtful look comes across his face. "Hm, actually, now that I think about it, I should do something really quick."

"Huh? What do you mean, Justin?" Barb asked in curiosity, Twilight turning her attention to the glowing hedgehog as well.

"A precaution thing, y'know, cause almost every interaction ove had when meeting someone new usually ends with them attacking me." Justin answered before closing his eyes before muttering in an echoed tone of voice. "Chaos Tranquillity." Justin mutters with a translucent blue glow emerges from Justin's chest and extends to everything within the library leaving a feeling of...calm.

"Oh! That's...admittedly smart Justin." Twilight admits smiling softly as the sense of calm washes over her before seconds later, a knock is heard on the front door of the library.

“Come in!” Twilight yelled.

The door slowly swings open, revealing six ponies, two of them vastly different from the others, both sporting both wings, and a horn, the taller of the two has a pristine white coat and an ethereal multicolored mane, while the shorter has a dark blue coat and an ethereal night sky themed mane.

“Princesses!” Twilight said with a smile, trotting over and nuzzling the white one.

“Tis is nice to be meeting with thee again, bearer of magic, we hath come once we received thy message!” The dark blue pony princess exclaimed with a smile as the taller princess nods her head in agreement.

“Yes, where is this… alien?” The taller one asked.

“That. Would be me. It is an honor to be meeting you two.” Justin speaks with an overdramatic bow.

The two looked at him in surprise along with the other four mares. “There is no need to bow.”

“Oh…eh..heh, heh…. Hi.” Justin murmurs as he blushes embarrassingly as he looks off to the side with a small wave of his hand.

“Wow, you're cool!” A pink mare said bouncing over to him. .

“I-.... Thank you???” Justin mutters in confusion. “Uh… what are all of your names again? I only know you two are princesses from how Twilight referred to you when you walked in.”

“I'm Pinkie pie!” The pink one said.

“My name is Rarity darling.” The white unicorn said with a nod.

“F-fluttershy…” the timid looking yellow Pegasus said.

“I'm the one and only Rainbow dash!” A cyan pegasus said with a smirk.

“I am Princess Celestia.” The tall white one said.

“It's nice to meet you all, my name is Justin.” Justin introduces himself with a thumbs up before turning to the dark blue princess. “How about you? What's your name princess?”

“We are princess Luna.” She said with a nod.

“Huh, Luna like the night?” Justin asks as he looks at Luna's ethereal mane.

“Yes?” Luna said with a raised eyebrow.

“sweet, I've always liked the night, the way the stars and the moon illuminate the dark…. Ah, but what I like isn't all that important right now, what is important is answers on who I am, what I am, and what I am doing here, correct?” Justin summarizes with a chuckle.

Luna blushed a little at the slight complement to her night before nodding. “Yes.”

“Right, if you may summarize what you have already learnt Twilight?” Justin asks with a small smile on his face.

Twilight looked down at her notes and began to read.

“Huh? O-oh, uh, ok. Justin is what he calls a Mobian, he doesn't know much of anything about Equestria and likely the rest of our planet, and he looks a lot more intimidating than he acts.” Twilight spoke as she read from her notes.

“I see.” Celestia said softly with a slow nod.

“And Justin didn't really answer when I asked what he could do, you said you wanted everypony to be here when you explained what you could do, right Justin?” Twilight continues, turning to Justin as she speaks the second half of her sentence.

“Yup, this them?” Justin nods as he motions to the others.

“Yep, this is everyone!” Pinkie said with a wide smile.

“.....ok then, well, what specifically about what I can do do you want to know? What I can naturally do in this body? Or the energy this body allows me to generate and control?” Justin asks as he looks around with a nervous chuckle.

“Yes.” Twilight said Simply.

“...well, for the things my body can naturally do, this body can naturally run fast enough to break the sound barrier, my spines are sharp enough to cut through steel, like a normal hedgehog I can roll myself into a ball.” Justin explains before waiting to see if anyone has any questions.

“Wait, you can break the sound barrier too!?” Rainbow dashed asked in shock.

“Yup, you can too? No. Wait. That makes sense, you give off the same feel as Sonic, it would only be natural that you're fast if you're so similar to the blue blur.” Justin murmured, peaking everyone's interest.

“Who is Sonic?” Twilight asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Sonic, Sonic is the fastest thing alive, the hero of Mobius, and technically, the owner of the body I now possess.” Justin explains,glancing at the surprised looks around him.

“What?! Nothing is faster than me!” Rainbow dash yelled, glaring at Justin.

“You stole his body!?” Fluttershy shouted in horror.

“I don't know your maximum speed rainbow, so I can't make an accurate guess on that, and Fluttershy, I don't know if there even is a sonic in here.” Justin spoke as he knocked on the side of his head with his left hand. “I'll have to check when I fall asleep.”

“We can assist thee with that.” Luna said with a gentle smile, while Barb pouted a little in jealousy.

“Huh? What do you-” Justin gets cut off as he is hit by a light blue burst of magic emanating from Luna's horn.

Everyone watched as Justin dropped to the ground unconscious. “What did you do!?” Barb asked in shock.
