What It's Like To Call This Place Home

Dimitri was on his knees in the center of a foot deep crater, in the center of the throne room. Echo unlocked the cage they were in, then walked over to his life long friend "At least time has hit him harder than we thought it would. And we'll find him again, but this time, all three of us will help you."

Dimitri looked to Echo, then stood "You're right... Plus I do need to catch up with everyone. And who better than a family I never got to see properly..." He walked over to the girls, Fluttershy to be specific, picking her up in a hug "I'm never gonna leave you again." She embraced him.

Trixie, Sombre, and the half-dead white half-dragon appeared in a large, scorches, circular room "Get your dying, scaly, claws off me!"

The white halfdragon started laughing. "You do realize, I could have used Dimitri killing you as the perfect escape cover; you see, when you got him to actually use his turbo, you set me free!" He then started to cough violently.

"Oh and your so powerful, how exactly?" Sombre squinted at the dying dragon.

"He is Dimitri's rage, the pure incarnation of Dimitri's rage." Trixie smirked as Sombre looked the dying dragoon up and down, then noticing it was missing its entire right Arm.

"Tell me, where is your arm?" Sombre scratched his chin with a hoof.

The dragon stoped coughing "The portal... Gave it to him, along with the Alicorn amulet. The curse saw it as me giving it to him for nothing in return, he can now use it with no drawbacks."

"WHAT?!" Exclaimed Trixie, and Sombre at the same time.

"Quiet down, he refuses to use it unless necessary. We will kill him, but first I must heal..." The dying dragon walked to a stone throne, and sat down. As he closed his eyes a white aura enveloped him. The scaly spot where there was no arm started to bleed, as the scales were magically ripped off. A dust covered mythril arm, missing two fingers, and a panel of armoring, rose from its sitting place on the floor. It levitated to him, connecting to the empty spot, where there was no arm.

"There, you are healed. Now let us go." Sombre started tapping his hoof on the ground.

"The healing process takes weeks, if I'm close to deaths door, so make yourself comfortable, use this free time to re-summon those alternate Spectors."

Dimitri opened the door to Fluttershy's cottage "Ah, home sweet home. It's good to be bac-" he was inturrupted by a projectile carrot. Looking around, he noticed Angle bunny, prepared for a race to get to the couch first "Your on." As Angle sprinted for the couch, Dimitri disappeared, reappearing in a laying down position, on the couch. Angle jumped, landing on his chest, then he curled into a ball. "He still remembers me, awesome." Emma appeared behind the couch, then she tilted the couch, dumping both Dimitri and Angle off. As she put it back down, she jumped over the back, taking the spot on the couch. "Hey no fair, I was remembering the good ol' days!"

"You snooze, you lose!" She crossed her arms.

"How did I know you two would argue over the couch?" Twilight walked in, Fluttershy, and Echo following suit.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Dimitri looked at nothing in particular "SC-7, move to my position." He looked back to Echo, and Twilight "I wasn't here for your wedding, so I brought something that you will get a lot of use out of."

Echo scratched his head "SC-7? Wasn't he the one you designed to fight Anitchka if the tests went wrong?" He looked away "Which they did." He coughed. Causing Twilight to cover her mouth to hold back a giggle.

"Anyway, yes SC-7 was originally designed to combat Anitchka, he was repurposed. He is now able to find my location, no matter where I am, but until he has an Equestrian map installed, he will have to move to my location, instead of being able to tell you where I am. And when he gets here, I will program Echo, RED, and PK into his GPS system." A time-beaten metal humanoid, walked into the room.

"Dimitri, I am perplexed. It is not physically possible for equines to use telekineses, have wings, or talk. Yet here, on this side of the portal, that impossibility has been ignored." The mech sounded panicked.

"It's the multiverse theory, what is possible in our universe, is impossible in another universe, and vice-versa." Dimitri looked him up and down "Hey Flutters, is my equipment still down stairs?" Dimitri asked while looking at her.

"We have a down stairs?!" Emma shot up from her fake sleep. "Why didn't you tell me that mom?"

"Yes, it is, and it is your fathers work room." Fluttershy then moved off the rug in the center of the room, unce removed, revealed a mythril door that had been fixed since Dimitri's last time in the cottage.

Dimitri walked to the door, opened it, then jumped in. Once he hit the floor, he noticed that his comrades had lined the walls, ceiling, and floors in mythril. "SC-7 jump down here, I'm gonna upgrade you." SC-7, and Echo landed in the hole.

"Yo, are you gonna replace the steel with mythril?" Echo looked Dimitri in his mismatched eyes "That dying dragon was Anitchka, wasn't it?"

"Yes, and yes." Dimitri led SC-7 to a working table, then had him lie down "SC-7, do you still have the defensive, and offensive routines to combat with Anitchka?"

"Affirmative, plus when he broke free, I scanned his movements, and tweaked the routines accordingly."

"Good, Echo, can you round up the others?"

"Yup!" He then leapt out the hole, then sprinted out.

"He could have radioed them, but he can do it any way he wants." Dimitri then agent to work.

Two Hours Later

Dimitri was lowering the last mythril panel, after having to repair parts on SC-7 he removed the two eyes, replacing it with one big one. "SC-7 activation code 0317, power on."

The mech's eye turned blue "Power on... Good morning Dimitri, how are you?"

"I'm doing perfect, I want to see if mythril will mess with your circuits. Give me your mental status." Dimitri stained at the drone.

"Power running at 100%. Vision is repaired and at 100%. I seem to have been given a memory upgrade, memory at 98% free space. Mythril armoring structure stability at 100%. Mythril seems to be giving me feelings of safety, and power." SC-7 looked at Dimitri "It seems the unidentified entity mythril gives of, has given me emotions, is this supposed to occur?"

Dimitri smiled "Yea, it is. Spectors, meet the new squad mat-"

"Would you mind referring to me as Atlus, I assume you will be giving me nanobots to scan the geographic scape of the planet." He stood from the platform, then walked around. He looked around for a bit "I assume this is your 'invention room'. Echo, RED, PK, I am... happy to be off earth... They were a year away from detonating the nukes under the base, had Dimitri not shown up."

Dimitri stood and walked to the group "Yes your new title is Atlus. Now I must speak with the girls, so lets go."
