Zeke and the Main 6:

The New Guy in Town

Reading guide:

Zeke: Original disguise

Raze: Disguise form of Zeke

Inside a forest, Zeke was trying to plan what his next move going to be. Inside the forest, he was walking around circling the thief he had caught.

“What the heck should I do with this guy?” wonder Zeke with curious.

Zeke look into the thief eyes. “What are you going to do with me?” the thief was afraid.

Zeke smiled, “Well, I guess I got an idea.” Zeke grinned to the thief. Well, he must have another crazy idea again. Really, you won’t don’t know how much crazy things he did back in CyberShadowCity.

When Zeke about to run his plan, an abandoned carriage catch his attention making him to stop and storm him with a new better ideas.

“I think I got a better idea, but don’t think that mean you’ll be getting away. Although, it’s impossible there’s a thief in this universe aren’t they?” said Zeke thinking that world never have a thief (they does).

Zeke were happy and confused at the same time. “Anyway, as soon as I finish the carriage, I’ll make sure you will be sent to where you should.” Not just a warning, it’s also a threat Zeke made on the thief.

The thief just nodded rapidly; probably afraid something will happen if he doesn’t obey Zeke’s order. “Good. Now be a good guest and enjoy the popcorn while I rebuilding this old carriage.”

The thief was pretty shocked that he was served with popcorn.

“Don’t worry, this won’t take long.” Zeke immediately charged up his entire power and literally fixed up the carriage in under two minutes. The thief just sits there flabbergasted by the incredible amount of power Zeke display.

“So, where again? Oh, now I remember. You have to be sent to the jail. Oh yeah, by the mean by that, your next two second will be in the universe jail because you’re an anomaly. Don’t worry, that jail ain’t worse than you thought. They will treat you kindly trust me.”

Zeke opens a portal and then send the pony into a luxury looking jail. The thief seems happy though.

“Sorry kid, you have to be there may be forever in there.” Zeke were felt sympathy for a second but the thief seems pleased and replied, “Oh no, you don’t have too! It was cool right here. I never know a place like this exists!”

The thief felt really excited. “Yeah, another thing, beware of flying book-bat. They’re deadly poisonous and totally killed 90,000 men in one night, seriously.” The thief was surprised and before he could talk, Zeke already shut the portal.

“Ah~, now I gotta find a merchandise to offer. Hmm… what does this folks really into?” Zeke were thinking than he pull out his phone and look up to Wikipedia but it was hopeless, there’s no Wi-Fi. Well, of course, because it’s a fiction world.

“OH COME ON! You’ve got to be kidding me! There’s not even a Wi-Fi here! Okay, let’s see what can I transform right here.” He tried to gather any material he could find in the forest.

In the Castle of Friendship, everyone including the princesses was gathering around the Cutie Map. Everyone seems serious about the incident that just happened before their eyes. The room was filled with silence and a few cough from Pinkie. Celestia looked around and start to talk “Okay, does anyone have ideas what is going on with this creature that just countered Twilight petrification?” she look around to see if there’s any answer. The other was still surprised; Zeke literally countered a petrification spells. Twilight shakes her head, “Okay, that is not what I expected. Neither do any of us.” Said Twilight that confused. “How that thing can counter Twilight’s petrification spell?!” Rainbow Dash yells in confusion.

“There is no way he can counter that kind of magic! That was a princess level stuff!” Starlight explains with concern.

“He should’ve coming from another world.” Luna guesses with confidence.

“If it does, where does he came from then?” Spike was concerned.

“How could we know? Plus, something tells me he isn’t an evil person.” Luna try to think back about Zeke action that brave enough to save Luna.

“Pssh, come on, Luna! That thing save you so we think he would not be justified and get any sympathy!” Rainbow Dash didn’t like what Luna is thinking.

Starlight look into Luna’s face, “I think what Luna said might be true. But still, that doesn’t he have a trick upon his sleeves.”

“Sleeves? That stick guy doesn’t even have shirt sleeves! To be honest, the only thing we can see on him is the flying bowl behind his back.” Said Pinkie confused.

“Not that, Pinkie. She means that, the guy might have his own trick to land on us. We don’t even know where this guy came from!” said Twilight rationally.

“First, how do you know that creature is a male? Second, we don’t know if he is a bad or a good guy! Imagine if we attack it but it has a good intention! But on the other side, if that thing is evil, we might as well put ourselves in danger!” said Applejack.

“Well, of course it’s by the voice, Applejack. Second, you might be right. We don’t even know what his intention! We might as well harm an innocent creature or we put ourselves with a dangerous villian.” Twilight try to think between two decisions.

Twilight look at Celestia, “What do you think, Celestia?”

Celestia just shake her head, “I don’t know, Twilight. This is the first time that both of us clueless about this situation.”

Twilight then immediately get an idea, ‘Celestia, do you and Luna are the first ponies to encountered this creature?”

Celestia and Luna nodded.

“How do you encounter this thing?” Twilight try to get the bottom of the problem.

“Well, we actually were spending time together when suddenly a storm came out of nowhere! I thought that the Pegasus might accidentally release a storm cloud until a few bucket and debris falling from the clouds. As it stop, the last thing that we do is captured the creature.” said Celestia.

Discord interrupted, “Furthermore, this creature that we discussing is a creature called Stickman. It’s just like when Twilight were in the human world before but this creature look like he was unfinished sketch,” Discord produced a single paper and pointed the picture of Zeke to them.

Twilight rolled her eyes, “Alright, let’s go to Canterlot. Starlight, I want you to look over castle.”

“Wait, why I’m not the one who has to look over the castle?” said Spike.

“I need you to take a note, Spike. Plus, if this creature is kind, we can learn a few or things from them!” said Twilight excitedly.

“Awhh,” Spike was disappointed.

Twilight then immediately suggested, “Alright, girls, let’s get packed up! I think we might have to stay for a while in Canterlot. I suggest that were going next week. Does everyone agree?”

The other Main just nodded in agreement.

Twilight smiled, “Good, let’s dismiss. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, we will do our best to capture this creature.”

Both Celestia and Luna nodded then leaving the Main 6 all by themselves. The Main 6 then dismissed the meeting and giving each other a hug before finishing their own business.

Zeke look into the materials that he had found; a stick, a stone, a few leaf and a broken katana (where did this guy find the katana anyway?).

He sighed, “This is all I could find,” he looked around and then stared on his newly renovated carriage. “I guess I had no other choice then,” he transformed into his real form and charged up an aura around him. Then he blasted the items to change it into something interesting; the stick changed into a magic wand, the stone changed into a diamond, the leaf into a couple of bucks and the katana into an orange glowing sharp edge black katana.

He smiled, “These things could be useful, magic wand, yeah, diamond, I can sell, bucks, of course and this thing?” Zeke start to think.

“Meh, I could have an extra.” Zeke magically fitted all of them items into his small sandbag. He looks on the carriage, “I gotta go back to the town. Maybe I could find some clue about this anomaly that going around.” He transformed into his pony disguise to avoid any suspicion.

There we go our idiot, Zeke. In the search of hidden enemy, he slowly learns a new thing about friendship without himself knowing it.

Deep in the forest, there’s other stickman who waiting for the time to come. The stickman waited for the right time to comfort Chrysalis.

The stickman stand there, “Zeke, Zeke, Zeke. What do you think you’re doing with your pathetic disguise?” the stickman chuckled.

Then he sensed something is coming, he stands on guard when out of nowhere a bug queen attacked it. The stickman dodged and stunned her; they kicked Chrysalis onto a tree. Chrysalis just looks onto the stickman with rage.

“What do you think you’re doing in my hiding place?” said Chrysalis harshly.

“I want to offer you something that not anyone ever imagined.” Offer the stickman.

“What do you think you can offer with your stupid appearance like this?” said Chrysalis, underestimating their power.

The stickman charged a dark energy and released it next to her. Chrysalis, who was closing her eyes after the shot, looked next to her just to see a few trees just knocked down in just one blast. She looks onto the stickman with fear, losing her ego to avoid being a dust of the power.

“What can I do for you?” said Chrysalis in fear.

“Join my rank and help me take down my enemy. I promise you, I will give you a powerful kingdom, minion and power beyond what you can think of,” said the stickman.

She stands up and said, “Alright that sounds promising. If you lie to me, you shall see what I do to traitor.” She look onto the stickman and asked, “What’s your name, partner?”

The stickman grinned evilly behind his scarf and revealed his face; revealing a female stick figure with a scar on her right cheek.

She replied, “Raven. Full name goes Shadow Raven.”

Both of them give a handshake as they will make another move in the right time.

After a few hours of walking, Zeke finally arrived (again) at PonyVille. He gasped for air as much as he can.

“Damn it, I never thought I would run into a dust generating flower!” said Zeke followed by a cough.

He walks slowly towards PonyVille but as soon he entered the town, all the ponies around him immediately look onto Zeke with amazement. Zeke look around in confusion, wondering why everyone is looking at him while whispering to each other. Then, one cyan pony comes towards Zeke to get information from him.

“Urm, hi, uh…” the pony seems struggled with Zeke name.

Zeke look around to find an appropriate name, and suddenly came up with an idea.

“Well, uhh… my name… is… urm… Raze… uh…” Zeke look towards a river behind him, “River! Yeah! My name is Raze River!” Zeke awkwardly replied.

“Urm, hello… uhh… Prince Raze! Welcome to PonyVille!” said the pony.

“Yeah, wait- Prince? What do you mean prince?” Zeke was confused.

“W-Well, you are an alicorn! You must be a prince! What do you mean you’re not one?” said the pony.

“Okay, what’s your name?” Zeke asked for her name.

“Well, uh, my name is Lyra Heartstring! That yellow pony with a candy cutie mark right there is BonBon my friend. Do you want to see Twilight? Does Celestia send you here?” Lyra asked curiously.

“Celestia? Of course not, you silly! I’m just here to sell my merchandise. What’s the matter with that?” Zeke ask in confusion.

Wait, so you’re saying that you are not a Prince?” Lyra was confusion.

“Since when? I’m just a regular pony like you guys who happen to love selling extraordinary and rare items.” said Zeke calmly.

Everyone gasped in disbelief.

“Sweet goodness stallion! You’re not a prince?! How you can be an alicorn?!” a brown pony named Dr Whooves was surprised.

“Uhh, well… why do you need to care about that? Here look onto my merchandise! It’s better than the one you have!” said Zeke happily.

Awkward silence was filling the scene which making it, well, awkward of course.

“Well…uhh…not interested? Okay, see you later!” Zeke walk away, but one voice appeared in the middle of the crowd, “Hold on there!”

Zeke stopped his step and looked behind.

The mayor came in front, presenting herself as the leader of the town.

She smiled, “How can I help you?”

“Uhh, well I just-” Zeke weren’t able to finish his sentence as the Mayor added more, “I know who you want to see.”

Zeke tilted his head like a Kirin but with confusion in his face.

“Follow me; I supposed you might want to see her.” Mayor just leaded Zeke towards Castle of Friendship. Zeke dumbly followed her, didn’t know that he will once again meet with the Main 6.

Twilight was in her library when Spike and Starlight come in with a bunch of cakes and coffee in a tray.

Hi, Twilight! What you’re searching for?” ask Spike who were looking onto her step-sister who was reading every single of the book in the library.

“I have been looking around the book, Spike. I have checked twice, no, thrice! But theres not a single thing saying about the creature we just met! What is this all about?! Urgh!” said Twilight in frustration.

Starlight smiled and approached her, “Twilight, look into my face.” Twilight looked into Starlight face.”Take a deep breath,” Twilight do what Starlight told her, “Now exhale.” Twilight exhaled.

“Feel better?” Starlight asks calmly.

Twilight nodded then sighed, “You know, this is new to me. I can’t do this. Imagine this; Discord magic didn’t work on a walking braches!” said her in confusion.

“You’re right, but that doesn’t mean it has no weakness!” Starlight confidently said her thought.

“Easy by saying,” Twilight mumbled and slammed her head to the table. Spike and Starlight look into each other worried about Twilight. Suddenly a knock were happen to come from the main door. Everyone headed towards it and happens to meet a new person; Raze were next to Mayor shocked looking into Twilight’s face.

When the trio looked into Raze, they were shocked that Raze was a male alicorn.

“A male alicorn?!” they scream in disbelief.

“I know right? But Raze said he just a regular travelling salesman.” said Mayor.

“Well, uh…this is…awkward,” said Raze. ‘Maybe I should leave and-” Twilight immediately teleported Raze and the other (except mayor) to her library.

“Oh well, I guess I didn’t needed in the business huh?” the Mayor left in disappointment.

In the library, Twilight was amazed and confused.

“How come you’re an alicorn? That was amazing! What prince are you?” Twilight just can’t hold her excitement.

“Prince? What prince? I… don’t think of that has something to do with me right?” Raze awkwardly smiled.

“Wait, how come you’re an alicorn without any royal status?” Starlight was shocked.

“Uhh, well… let’s just say I born with it.” Raze created a fake alibi.

“Wait, you’re born as an alicorn?” Spike was shocked.

“Wait, so Flurry Heart is not the first alicorn baby?” Twilight realized something about her niece.

Raze nervously nodded to the lie he spitted.

“Wait, so does your parent is an alicorn?” Twilight asked.

Raze gulped and nervously replied, “Well, uhh…actually…I’m an orphan.” Raze pulled another lie.

“Wait, so you’re born without knowing who your parents are?” Starlight asked.

“Well, kinda. One of the guardians told me that they sent me there because…” Raze was stuttered then realize a reflection of his own through a small mirror. He saw his eyes were eyeballs were black and his retinas were white, “Well, my guardian told me that I was sent to the orphan because my tribes thought I am cursed child.” Raze created another lie.

“Wow that…was unexpected. Although, you’re eyes seems a bit…off…really.” Spike realizes Raze eyes were off.

Twilight and Starlight also sees what Spike just saw, “Well, how do your eyes look like that? That is the first time I ever saw someone eyes look so…extraordinary.”

Raze sighed (he just acting), “The guardian told me that my alicorn appearance and my black special eyes were a sign of bad luck to Equestria.” He dropped a single (fake) tear.

Twilight, Starlight and Spike looked onto each other and give Raze a sympathy look after that.

“Oh come on, what a curse can do? If you’re cursed, something bad will happen already!” Spike said it confidently.

Twilight gave Spike anger stare than walked towards Raze (who is practically Zeke in disguise), “Look, Raze, we really respect you’re private life. I’m sorry if that trigger any of your traumatic experience. We will respect you space after this.” said Twilight it in empathy tone.

Starlight came forward, “Hey, I got an idea, how about show us a little magic that you learn? Maybe a little bit at least?” Starlight politely asked.

Raze bring up his face and told them the truth, “I…can’t do magic.”

Three of them gasped in disbelief.

“YOU DON”T KNOW ANY MAGIC?! INCLUDING LEVITATING SOME OBJECT OR FLYING?!” Twilight shouted in disbelief.

“Well, kinda. You know, I live with ponies with uhh… no magic.” Raze explained.

Starlight corrected, “You mean, your orphan is filled earth ponies?”

Raze just nodded.

Twilight looked into Spike’s face, “I guess this is going to be a new friendship lesson for our new dear friend! Spike, take a note,” as soon Twilight says, Spike take out a note behind his back, magically (Cartoon logic).

Twilight cleared her throat, “Dear Princess Celestia, I’m going to bring an extra guest to the Canterlot who happen to be a male alicorn. If you’re not bothered, maybe you and your sister could lend some hooves to help me because this alicorn didn’t know any magic at all! He even didn’t know how to fly with his wing. Send it Spike.”

Spike rolled the scroll and sends the scroll towards Princess Celestia who was happening to be in Canterlot in the meantime.

But as soon the scroll was sent, the door was harshly slammed with Celestia and Luna standing in disbelief, “A male alicorn that didn’t know…WHAT?!”

Twilight and Starlight just flabbergasted, but for Raze, he was about to have a LOT of (lies) explanation to do.

After night were risen by Luna, Raze was standing outside his carriage that happen to be next to Trixie’s carriage that also HAPPEN to be sitting outside the Castle of Friendship.

Raze can’t even sit well as Fluttershy, Rarity, Twilight and Starlight were sitting around a campfire that Raze made with his bare hooves.

“Even though you can’t do magic darling, you’re really such an amazing fire starter.” said Rarity, amazed by Raze skill to start a fire without a magic.

Twilight looks around and asked, “Wait, where Pinkie, Rainbow Dash and Applejack is?”

Fluttershy replied gently, “Well, Pinkie told me that she had to remake the cake for ‘I’m sorry Derpy for ruining you surprise Party’ tomorrow and Rainbow Dash was helping Applejack with dealing incoming swarm of hungry worm this season.”

Starlight replied, “Meh, more marshmallows for us to eat.”

Then, silence filled the group for a few minutes. Raze looked around and sighed, “Alright, I’ll start the conversation. My name is Zek- I mean Raze River. I live somewhere in the Mount Everhoof. I decided to travel around with my rare merchandise that I trade around. Sometimes, I use barter system and sometimes I use currency.” Pull out a buck of money.

Everyone there was confused with the money.

“Uhh, Raze? I don’t think that it’s the currency that we use here. Seriously, where do you even get these?” Twilight grab one buck and examine the dollar.

‘What is this kind of currency? Never seen them before,” said Twilight with confusion.

“Wait, so you peo- I mean, ponies doesn’t use dollars?” Raze was surprised.

“What is a dollar? Don’t you know we use bits around Equestria?” Starlight looks at Raze in disbelief.

Raze suddenly realize that dollar is a wrong currency, “Well, uhh…” then he immediately come up with an ideas, “I guess that’s why my money doesn’t get accepted anywhere.”

Starlight was surprised, “You don’t know about the bits currency?”

Raze just shakes his head.

“Wow, where do you even get those?” Twilight was surprised and amazed as Raze able to have a currency.

“Well, I found this bunch of papers and thought it will cost much though, lol,” said Raze.

Lol? What is that?” Spike was confused with Raze’s slangs.

“Oh, nothing complicated. It just stands for Laugh out Loud,” said Raze calmly.

“Ouh,” Spike replied.

Raze get off the logs they were sitting, “Argh, it’s nice to meet you guys but seriously, it’s a night girls, really. I want to get a rest, next day I will show you the items that I sells around the Equestria.”

“But, you didn’t even-” before Starlight could finish her sentence, Raze shushed her from far away.

He slammed the door shut, leaving them outside. Twilight immediately felt that Raze is hiding something from them.

Starlight gave her opinion, “Okay, this Raze guy, he had been too suspicious now. I’m sure he has something that he doesn’t want to share with us.”

Fluttershy added, “Plus, it’s seems he really doesn’t like being teached.”

“No, Fluttershy, darling, what Starlight must mean is Raze must been up to something behind us.”

“Alright everyone, I know he had been suspicious lately but do not worry, I know who can go over his mind. Plus we just met this guy alright?” Twilight confidently said her plan.

Raze have been getting suspicious lately, which putting him into a dangerous position if he take another wrong

When they’re about to left, they heard loud banging noises coming from his carriage. They look onto each other faces, wondering what is going on in the carriage.

In the carriage, Raze aka disguising Zeke is literally struggling to sleep as he wouldn’t able to lie properly as a pony.

“How do you even, ugh, sleep with, four hooves?!” he mumbled. As he annoyed enough, he wake up and decided to sit.

He takes out his phone; turned on YouTube to watch a huge streamers videos.

“Heheheh, this guy never gets old. Luckily I have enough space to fit his videos.” He chuckled over as his phone storage shown that 50% used up but theirs is one video.

Meanwhile, Twilight and the others were peeking through the carriage window.

“What is that?” said Twilight.

“I don’t know, some sort of… light?” Starlight tries to guess.

Underneath them, Trixie, Fluttershy and Rarity were struggling to hold onto Twilight and Starlight.

“I….don’t…think…ugh…this is a great idea. Don’t you think?” Trixie was shaking, holding two ponies.

“I might as well agree with this fellow magician. Why don’t we just…ugh…use our invisible magic?” Rarity complained.

Twilight replied, “Well, this carriage only has one door, obviously. Now, put all of that aside, we must try to listen to-”

Raze opened the windows making Twilight and Starlight fall in the carriage. Both of them faced Raze plain emotionless face. Both of them look at Raze awkwardly, Fluttershy fly talk gently, “We’re sorry, Raze. We just felt so eager to know what you’re hiding from us.”

Raze just stood in silence without even replying. He just looks at them, menacingly.

Rarity entered the carriage through the windows, “Pardon, darling, really, we just wanted to know why you have been acting weird. We down want to cause any trouble right here.”

Still, Raze stand in silence without even giving any replies. Coldly stares them. They look onto each other and felt uneasy with Raze.

Starlight stand up and get closer, “Uhm, Raze, I know you don’t like what we’re doing but please, at least say something. We’re actually sorry for disturbing you privacy okay?”

Raze give them a warm smile. Somehow his smile is soothing and makes them feel comfortable.

“It’s okay, everycreatures make mistake sometimes. Now, now, how about we all go home and you girl can teach me how to do some magic and fly tomorrow morning?” Raze try to negotiate with them.

They smiled in relief. Twilight replied, “Okay, Raze. Maybe we’ll see you tomorrow and maybe you learn some magic from us!”

“Alright now, let’s everyone get off, rest and sleep so we all can see what I can do tomorrow, okay?” said Raze calmly.

“Alright, you win. But can you do us a favor tomorrow?” Twilight asked carefully.

“Let me guess, tell you girls what is wrong? Don’t worry, I’ll tell you all tomorrow.” Raze guessed.

“But we-”

Raze immediately pushed them out and closed the door whilst leaving a signature, “Haveagoodnightandagooddreambyebye!”

Raze slammed the door and the windows shut.

“Well, that was… fast.” said Starlight.

Twilight replied, “Well, he will explain to us later so…” Twilight yawn, “We have to go to sleep. It’s pretty late now.”

They walked back to the place where they came from.

In Raze’s carriage, he lay down on his small bed, looking at the carriage roof.

He monologue, “What the hell am I supposed to do? Living with these ponies until I found the anomaly? I guess I had no other choices.”

Raze then took a sleep for that first day on the universe without realizing this is going to be a hella lot a journey in the universe.

Somewhere in Tartarus, Tirek and Cozy Glow were locked together, next to each other.

“Golly, Tirek! Why don’t you really like to talk to your pals over here?” Cozy tries to call Tirek.

“Shut up, Cozy. You know sometimes I hate talking with peoples around me, don’t you?” Tirek was annoyed by Cozy’s annoying behavior.

“Oh come on, Tirek! You have been ignoring me for the straight 5 hours!” Cozy replied.

“Oh shut up, you’re just annoys-”

KABOOM!

An explosion occurred which taking both of their attention.

“What’s going on?” Cozy was shocked.

Cerberus trying to attack the infiltrator but a single spell sent the giant guardian dog to the back, knocking the animal unconscious.

Tirek and Cozy was speechless by the crazy powers that were unleashed by the infiltrator.

As soon the dust fogs were disappeared, it reveals Chrysalis and Shadow Raven.

“Who… are you?” Cozy ask in shocks.

Shadow smirked, “I’m Shadow Raven. And this is my allies, Chrysalis. And I’m here to free both of you with one condition; you both help me eliminate my nemesis.”

Both of them look onto each other, Tirek replied, “Sure, but who is this your… nemesis?”

Raven smiled, “I will explain but first… we need to escape. Now, come on. We don’t have time to waste. This will get the royalties attention including the Princess of Friendship.”

When they’re about to run away, a few Tartarus guards came in, one of them shouted, “THE PRISONERS ARE RUNNING AWAY! WE HAVE AN ESCAPEE!”

Raven used a magic, “Shadow Disk”

She generated a bunch of shadow that shaped like a pulsar and throw them towards the guards. The impact caused so many explosions.

Raven looked towards her allies, “Would you mind?”

Three of them smiled with Chrysalis replied, “With pleasure.”

The guard leader ordered, “DON’T LET THEM ESCAPE! WE DON’T WANT THE ESCAPIST TO ESCAPE THE TARTARUS!”

But it’s was useless, with Raven leading the group, the guards was fighting to their own defeat.

In the meantime, the battle had been causing some major events to be changed in Equestria. The villians that weren’t exist starting to exist and some new characters, lands and artifacts came to life, changing the whole storyline.

Author's Note
