Let me tell you a story... (currently rewriting)

Somewhere in “The New World of Tekkit”…

“What the hell are you doing Rythian?! I thought we had a non-aggression pact!” A man said, his white lab coat was torn and had patches of blood on it. The blade he held was nearly at a breaking point and blood was slowly seeping from cuts and gashes all over his body.

“Guess you had memory lapse when you bombed my camp in the desert! You will pay for that Duncan!” Rythian yelled in anger. His cloak was also torn on many places and he had several cuts, but his weapon was as good as new. His purple eyes glared at the scientist.

“I already told you it wasn’t me! I have no idea who it was but I can swear that it wasn’t me!” Duncan yelled back, his grip on the sword he wielded tightening.

“Well then was it? Who else had the resources to build such an explosive? It can’t be Sjin and Sips because they’re too busy with Honeydew Inc. and enjoying their moment of peace, so that leaves you!” Rythian exclaimed charging against Duncan, an attack he narrowly dodged.

“I need to get out of here.” Duncan muttered as he took out a remote control, which controlled an inter-dimensional portal generator he had built. He pointed it towards himself but, sure enough, Rythian was charging again. In a desperate effort Duncan pressed the ‘confirm’ button.

Just before a light blue sphere surrounded him, Rythian was already near him, but the would be onslaught was stopped as the sphere burst out in an explosion of light unlike any other, showing all the colors of the spectrum upon its activation. It was a sight to behold.

Rythian and Duncan tumbled across the void, going to God knows what dimension. ‘What have you gotten us into this time, Duncan?’ Rythian thought as he continued falling.

<…>

Twilight was sitting at the library trying to work on a new spell. “So if I get this right, I may be able to summon beings from other dimensions.” She muttered. “Let’s see…” She read her book to check if everything was ready. “All seems to be in order. I can’t believe it, I might be able to bring in new creatures! Think of the possibilities Spike!” She excitedly said to her dragon assistant.

“I’m not sure you should be doing this Twi. What if you end up summoning some kind of monster that will eat us all?” Spike reluctantly said.

“I can cancel the spell within the first five minutes so don’t worry about that. But you might want to step back.” Twilight said. Spike gladly obeyed and got to cover while Twilight was charging the spell, her mind focused solely on it. Her horn shone very brightly, with light of an intensity that a regular unicorn should not have been able to produce.

In a very powerful burst of energy she released the spell, hopefully having a creature in the library. Her vision was still blurry because of the strain the spell put on her body, but even in such a condition she made out two shapes in the middle of the library.

“Get off me you stupid scientist!” She heard a voice say with an angry tone.

“I can’t even stand up yet, just be a little patient!” She heard another voice, reflecting annoyance.

“If you won’t get off, I will make you!” She heard the first.

“Alright, I’m getting up.” On her blurred out vision she saw one of the figures lifting up to an impressive height.

“Now where was I? Oh right I was about to kill you!” She saw the other one standing up to the same height as the previous.

“Hang on a second Rythian. You listen to me, and you listen good! We’re in a new dimension so that means we must work together! I don’t know who bombed your base but it sure as hell wasn’t me!” Now her vision had been fully restored.

In front of her she saw two bipedal creatures, apparently very battered. The blonde one had a lab coat, which was stained with blood and ripped in several parts. Across from him was a brown haired creature who wore a black cloak with an, almost unidentifiable because of the tears, set of purple eyes.

“Fine, but one more slip and I declare full on war, Duncan! I had enough after the nuke. Do you even know how much Zoey got hurt?” The one named Rythian said. ”… So do you have anything to tell us where we are?” He asked, a bit calmer this time.

“Working on it…” Duncan replied, fiddling with a small handheld device. After a bit it exploded. “Ah!” He exclaimed in surprise.

“What the hell just happened?” Rythian asked.

“The bloody thing overloaded. There’s too much information.” Duncan answered.

“Huh… excuse me. Maybe I can help.” Twilight chimed in a bit nervous but excited too.

“Rythian, you’re the magic guy here… should unicorns be capable of speech?” Duncan asked, inches away of freaking out.

“Not that I know of.” Rythian replied with surprise.

“What do you mean? Of course I’m capable of speech!” Twilight said with an insulted tone.

“What has that blue sphere done, Duncan?” Rythian started shaking the scientist.

“It’s an inter-dimensional transporter.” Duncan answered between shakes.

“WHAT?! So you created something to transport people across dimensions? Did you not think about the risks?” Rythian asked.

“Calm down will you?” Duncan said with annoyance, getting Rythian’s hands off his shoulder so the enderborn would stop shaking him. He turned towards Twilight. “Sorry about that, it’s not every day you encounter a creature thought to be mythological. My name is Duncan and this is Rythian. You are?” He asked.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle, nice to meet you. I can’t help but notice you are bleeding in several places.” Twilight said, pointing at their injuries.

“We will be fine, Rythian knows healing spells and I used what little I know of alchemy to create this.” He took out a vial with red liquid and drank it all. “This should be kicking in soon.” He said storing it within his torn lab coat.

“If you don’t mind me asking, what are you?” Twilight asked.

“Well, me and Duncan are Minecraftians.” Rythian said. “But may I know where we are?”

“You’re in Equestria, home to all ponies in Equus.” Twilight said.

“Something’s strange here. I programmed my device to teleport the user to an alternate dimension but still in Minecraftia. Maybe something here interfered.” Duncan said.

“That might’ve been me.” Twilight said with a sheepish grin. “I was trying a new spell to summon creatures from other dimensions and that must be what interfered.”

“Is it safe to go out now?” Spike asked, still behind cover.

“Yes, it is. You can come out now, Spike.” Twilight replied. Upon seeing the purple dragon Rythian jumped back and drew a dagger. Spike, terrified, curled himself into a ball.

“What are you doing?!” Twilight exclaimed.

“He’s a dragon!” Rythian said.

“He is just a baby, he can’t hurt anypony. Besides he’s my assistant and I made sure to raise him with a mentality which made him be nice to everypony.” Twilight said defensively.

“No one in the Tekkit world gets along well with the ender dragon, which is the only dragon back there. We have kinda grown xenophobic because of that.” Duncan explained, as Rythian let his guard down.

“I’ll give you one chance to prove me wrong. If you don’t use it properly I’ll treat you the exact same way I would treat the ender dragon.” Rythian said, warning Spike. The air was so thick it could be cut with a knife. This tension was broken as there was a knock on the door.

“I’ll get it.” Spike said, eager to get as far away as possible from the enderborn. As soon as he opened the door he saw Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. “HI. What are you doing here?” He asked.

“I was flying around when I saw this very bright light, so I decided to get everypony and check what was going on.” Rainbow said. Duncan leaned back seeing who was at the door. Apparently Rainbow saw him because she reacted immediately tackling against him.

“Who are you? What are you? How did you get here? What have you done to Twilight?” She questioned him, paying no attention to her surroundings whatsoever.

“I’m Duncan, a minecraftian scientist, I got here through an inter-dimensional teleporter, and Twilight is right there.” He said pointing at the purple unicorn. “Now get off me before I make you.” He continued with a stern expression.

“Just try it!” Rainbow said with a smirk. Duncan rolled his eyes at her. He put his hands on the ground and pushed back with his whole body, getting into a handstand and, ultimately, on his feet.

“I know my share of tricks for battle.” Duncan said, looking at the dazed pegasus on the floor. “Now, I guess it’s time for introductions… in a much nicer way at least.” He turned towards the ponies who had just entered the room. “I’m Duncan, pleased to meet you.”

“The name’s Rythian, also known as the enderborn.” Rythian said, leaning against a wall.

“Ah’m mighty impressed. It’s rare the pony that can get Rainbow off ‘em.” Applejack said. “Ah’m Applejack, nice to meet ya’.”

“Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie! DO you like parties? When is your birthday? Do you want a cupcake?” Pinkie Pie said at her usual thousand words per minute rate of speech and taking out a cupcake out of nowhere.

“Why not?” Duncan took the cupcake and took a bite. “This. Is. Delicious.” He slowly said, amazed at how great it tasted.

“My name’s Rarity, charmed. But I want to know, what were you doing to get your clothes in such a dreadful state?” Rarity said.

“This guy bombed my base, so I was fighting him.” Rythian said, pointing at Duncan. “You’re lucky that Zoey and Teep survived!”

“For the last time, it wasn’t me!” Duncan exclaimed, almost losing his patience.

“Do I need to remind that your sword is almost broken, while mine is in almost perfect condition?” Rythian asked with a smirk.

“I will not stand for this! As long as you are in this world you will not fight each other! GOT IT?” Twilight said glaring at both and levitating them in a purple aura.

“An’ besides, Duncan ‘ere seems ta be tellin’ the truth. Whatever happened, it wasn’t him.” Applejack said.

“And why should I trust what you say?” Rythian asked.

“Because she’s a walking, talking lie detector.” Twilight said, lowering them. “Anyway, the pony hiding behind the couch is Fluttershy and the pony that you knocked down is Rainbow Dash.” She said looking at Duncan. Suddenly the lights went out.

“Ok… now what?” Duncan asked. As quick as they had gone out the lights went back on, showing all sorts of party related stuff throughout the room.

“Now we party!” Pinkie said appearing out of nowhere.

“How does she do that?” Duncan whispered to Twilight.

“Just don’t try to figure it out and your sanity will remain untouched.” She said, leaving a confused Duncan in the middle of a party.
