Reduced to Ponies

Spacial Rend

Another explosion shook the space between dimensions, followed by a roar of pain. Midnight blue and dark pink clashed in the background fighting desperately for dominance. Shadows of two creatures could be seen constantly ramming into each other and occasionally firing blasts at each other.

They collided again and Palkia felt minor pain in his shoulder, he brought up his armored arm in an effort to claw his opponent’s eyes out. Unfortunately  Dialga then chose to use Roar of Time at point blank. Palkia was thrown back a considerable distance and started to feel fatigue as the Roar took it’s effect by aging him. He shrugged it the age off with barely a thought.

Enough! Palkia bellowed, not using his mouth, since all that mouth could do was roar. You think that you could defeat,ME? Ruler of Space itself?! He took a deep breath in. I will show you what true power looks like!! Spacial Rend!!

The Pearls on his shoulders started to glow and with a mighty roar, sent all the power he had stored at Dialga. Dialga in return sent out another Roar of Time, this one more powerful than the last. The energy met in the middle and started to mix into colors of blue and pink.

No! Do you realize what have just done!? Palkia screamed.

It is you that is at fault Palkia! Dialga returned in a feminine voice.

You returned the blow just as I! The mix of energy in the middle of them then grew bigger and started pulling them in.

They both roared in frustration and flew at each other, their rage blinding each other at the problem at hand.  Wrestling each other head-butting and grabbing each other just to get the upper hand as they flew through the portal that had opened up.

Palkia then saw blinding light and moved to block it with his claws only to feel intense pain as he felt his armor starting to melt. He had never felt anything so agonizing as anything in his life. And he had lived a very long time. His claws started to shrink into his arm. His body also started to shrink, resulting in his armor falling away to reveal light purple fur starting to grow. His head elongated a snout and his eyes grew and developed pupils as a long horn erupted from his head, along with long silver hair, along with a tail.

He was then thrown into something green and long and smelled deceptively of grass. He then saw darkness as another form landed on the back of his head.

…..

Mumbling, mumbling woke Palkia followed by a poke in his side. He could tell his senses were already recovering when he heard it again.

“Are you alright?” A small voice questioned.

He peeked through one eye and saw two yellow legs. He then tried with both eyes and saw that this… thing was about to poke him again. He viciously swatted away the hoof and bolted up knocking off the other being that was on his back with a soft thump.

“You dare!?” It surprised him that he could talk using his mouth for a second but shook it off and took a step closer on unsteady legs“You dare touch the ruler of space, Palkia!?”

The yellow pony was shrinking away with tears in its eyes, no her eyes he could now see. He could also see that she had long pink hair and a pair of small wings, with three butterflies tattooed on her sides.

“I-I’m s-sorry…” She whimpered as she shrunk back into the surrounding grass.

“Pathetic equine, LEAVE MY PRESENCE!” and for extra effect he pointed one of his hooves out to the distance towards a small village he could see.

The Pegasus ran off in tears sobbing and sniffing. Palkia raised his nose and snorted. He then got a chance to look at his surroundings. Long green grass waved in the wind against a little too blue sky with not a cloud in sight. Other than a mountain and the village in the distance he could see nothing else of interest in front of him. He then turned around and saw what was on his back when he awoke. Another equine this time a midnight blue and no wings with a considerably lighter blue for the mane and tail. She then started to stir. He knew who she was: Dialga. She turned to look at him with an indifferent look in her eyes that quickly turned to hate.

“Palkia.”

“Dialga.”

“You look ridiculous.”

“As do you, inferior one.”

“What have you done to us?”

“It was not I, moronic one.”

“Petty insults do not become you Palkia.”

“If it were not so easy then maybe I would stop.” He snarled.

She glared and then slowly got up.

“It appears this body gets aggravated easily.” He observed.

“No you are normally this idiotic, Palkia.”

He raised an eyebrow at this. But instead focused on accessing his power. He searched for his core of Space energy only to find that it was locked to him. He looked back up to see Dialga was also trying to do so but she failed also. He felt energy within the horn on his head and accessed it seeing if he could understand it. This form of magic was fairly powerful but not enough to return to his own perfect form.

“What shall we do now?” He was about to answer when he was interrupted by a voice that was a little rough around the edges, but feminine he could tell.

“Hey!” He looked at the newcomer, no newcomers; the voice was only the first one to talk. He now saw a cyan blue Pegasus flying angrily towards him. She had a rainbow colored main and tail with fuchsia eyes and a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt on her sides, one look and he could tell she wasn’t the brightest bulb of the group of equines coming towards him. She was followed by an orange pony with blond hair but this time with apples on her sides. After that a purple unicorn with stars, white unicorn with diamonds, and atrociously pink one with balloons and finally the yellow one.

She flew right up to his face and glared “Who do you think you are? Making Fluttershy cry like that!” She continued glaring at him. And then noticed Dialga standing behind him. “You with this monster of a pony?”

“No I am not, rainbow one. In fact I think I hate him more than you”

“Hmmph, I doubt that.” And she crossed her legs stubbornly.

The rest of the ponies then reached them.

“Hey Rainbow, you get a name outta him yet?” The orange one spoke first. She sounded… idiotic.

“No Applejack, I only just got here.” Rolling her eyes as she said it.

“So what is yer name stranger, and why in the hay would you make Fluttershy cry?” She glared at him.

“Palkia, pathetic pony. And this ‘Fluttershy’ that you speak of insulted me with her presence of weakness and concern.”

They were all shocked by his response. The purple one then came forward.

“Well, I’m sure this is just one big misunderstanding uh… Palkia.”

“What is there to understand?” He raised an eyebrow. “ She was trying to show kindness and kindness has never served any purpose than to corrupt beings with weakness.”

Dialga looked like she was enjoying the spectacle but quickly stepped in before they wasted any more time.

“Palkia, it unwise to upset the locals, for we do not know what power they possess.”

“You have no right to speak Dialga! I am the Ruler of Space and while you may rule time you are a bug compared to me!”

“Arrogance will get you nowhere Palkia, and it is unwise to call me a bug because we both know that I have beaten you a number of times before.”

He shot a glare of pure hatred. But Dialga continued. “What do you call yourselves equines? Unlike my companion over there I am more curious to know more about this new world than upset the locals.”

The six ponies were still in shock but the purple one stepped forward after a minute.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle, and this is Applejack,” pointing to the orange pony “Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy.” Pointing to the others respectively.

“I, am Dialga Ruler of Time and this,” gesturing to Palkia,” is Palkia Ruler of Space, however undeserving of that title.”

He shot Dialga another glare. But the pink one called Pinkie Pie spoke up.

She gasped. “That means we have to have DOUBLE the party for welcoming our new pony friends! With extra streamers, extra balloons, extra EVERYTHING!! Oh this is going to be the BEST. PARTY. EVER!!” She had an impossibly large smile on her face. Before zooming off to plan with her legs not even on the ground. Palkia glared.

“It seems I am not the only one that can alter space.” He grumbled.

“Ruler of Space? Ruler of Time? That’s impossible.” Twilight stated.

Dialga and him both raised an eyebrow at the same time. He stepped forward to Twilight Sparkle.

“The only reason you are still alive ignorant pony is because I do not have access to my power.” He threatened. Twilght only came to his chest but she was still looking him square in the eyes defiantly.

“Hey now lets not get ahead of ourselves, sugarcube.” Applejack had stepped between them and was busy pushing Twilght and Palkia apart, she was having more luck with the mare though.

“Perhaps we should meet with your ruler Twilight Sparkle, to get us where we need to be.” Dialga suggested.

“The sooner we get you home the better I guess.” She grumbled.

The other ponies started to walk away but Dialga stopped in front of Palkia and whispered in his ear “I will not have our chance of getting back our power ruined by your moronic ways, either behave yourself or I will make sure every single second of your existence here on this pastel colored world will be one of agony.”

“You may try, inferior one.”
