A New Equestria

Twilight was finally concious. She looked around her. Strange, the Princess told her, that everything was going to be chaotic in this new world. But it wasn't. Infact it even was better, because the shuffled books were now in perfect alphabetical order. Twilight was happy about that, but she couldn't see anything but the books. Here it was obviously night and the lantern threw some light only over the book shelf.

  She tried to lift the lantern up, so she can look the room better. She didn't suceed. Her horn didn't listen to her, so the purple alicorn got the lantern with mouth and circled the room. She found Rarity, Rainbow and Fluttershy.

• Any idea who is missing? - asked Twilight

• And what too! Twilight, don't panic, just turn around! - spoke Rainbow to her friend quietly.

Twilight slowly turned around to see, that her horn and wings were missing.

A horrible scream shook the whole Ponyville.

• You shouldn't react that way. Besides, who needs them? Horns- shmorns! - spoke Dash

• But, Dash, you and Fluttershy have your wings and Rarity has her horn! That doesn't make any sence!

• What doesn't make any sence? - spoke Luna,who got out of the shadow together with Celestia.

When the 4 friends looked at the princesses, their faces turned into a picture by Salvapon Dali.

• What? - Luna was confused

• Turn around... - told them Rainbow with a very quiet voice, hoping, that they didn't heard her.

The Princesses turned around to see their earth pony versions.

  Another two screams shook Ponyville.

• An'what is ol'that noice for? - Applejack was dissatisfied.

• Yeah, what's the problem? It's just a sleepover party! - Pinkie Pie was just a little cross.

It suddenly became unusualy quiet. Applejack tought, that somebody stopped time. She understood, that nopony didn't, only by Pinkie's jumping. The others looked like statues.

• Wha? - the orange earth pony was confused.

• I guess this is some kind of joke, isn't it, - said Rainbow Dash- , just look at each other.

• Wow!

• Holy moly!

Applejack looked at the alicorn Pinkie Pie and Pinkie Pie looked at the alicorn Applejack.

• Am I one too? - spoke they in one voice.

• Yyyes. - answered Twilight.

• Well, that's funny!

• Yeehaw! I am starting to like that guy!

Princess Celestia was annoyed from the celbrating earth ponies turned alicorns, while she and her sister were powerless, and tried to distract the group from the both alicorns:

• Hey, what's that?

Everypony looked at the thing. It was a very weird gadget with a big button in it's middle. It sayed: "Press me!"

• I also wonder should I push it or not. - spoke a familiar voice.

• Spike! Where are you? - Twilight was worried.

• Right here! - said he and stepped out of the shadow.

Another moment of silence.

• Spike, are you aware, that you have dragon wings, you're twice taller, and that you have three big spikes on your tail? - asked Twilight

• Yes, and I am not surprised. I see there are some changes in you girls too.

• Oh, let's just press it! - said Dash while pressing it

• NO! - screamed everypony in one voice.

The  gadget started moving, turned into a tripod and started projecting.

In the middle of the room a hologram of Hase appeared.

• Oh, finally, you pressed it! I waited so long!

Dash punched the hologram.

• It's useless, Rainbow Dash, it's just a projection! - laughed Hase from the hologram

• What did you do to us? Answer or I'll turn it off! - Luna was angry.

• This will only bring harm. Better calm down and listen.

• OK. - Dash was also angry.

• First, welcome to the New Equestria. This is a dimension, very close to Equestria in some ways, but absolutely different in others. We start with it's geography. It is the same as in the old Equestria, except, that it is larger. And the empty space is filled with something totally different.

• And what is it? - asked Twilight.

• Volcanoes to the north, caves to the south, wasteland to the northwest, sea to the southeast, extremely high mountains to the northeast and a blinding void to the southwest. Each one is the kingdom of one of my alternate forms and represents it's element. Remember, you have to beat them all to return you and me to the old Equestria, and you won't suceed with bad. Remember, I'll look.

• But... why did you take our powers? - Twilight asked.

• Believe me, there is nothing I love more in this and in all others world than things to be even. In the other world you and the Princesses were the alicorns, and they, - said he and pointed at Applejack and Pinkie Pie - , were earth ponies. Here it is the opposite. Perfectly even.

• Well, he's got a point! - noted Applejack

• And it's fun! - Pinkie Pie supported her.

• I hoped you would know in which world I take you before I tell you. After all, I hinted it to you.

• How? - asked Celestia

• Auf Wiedersehen?!? The long lost language of the germanic pony tribes, who believed in this world? Forget it.

• And why me? - Spike was confused.

• Oh, it was cool.

• It really is! - agreed Pinkie

• Anyway, you'll have to beat all the six elemental lords. Because it is a long way, I've made Ponyville the portal center. In the area around Ponyville there are 6 stones. Each one of them is a portal to one of these kingdoms. But they'll only work if you put that medalion behind Spike in them.

Spike turned and got the medalion. It looked strange. It had seven holes in it.

• It is golden!

• Yes, a relic for traveling between the dimensions I found recently before I went to prison. It modifies. And here is the modification it received, when it reacted with my new me: it is now a golden medalion, which once hat 10 stones: ruby, topaz, a pearl, amethyst, aquamarine, quartz, a never melting chunk of ice, amber, a form of gypsum, called a desert rose and a diamond. Don't lose it or you remain here forever.

• But I only see room for seven! - replied Spike.

• You didn't look careful enough.

• Oh, right!

Spike found the only 3 gems, that remained: the ice, the rose and the amber.

• But... you face us against powerful landicorns like you, while we have only two unexperienced alicorns on our team, that's not fair! - Rainbow was angry.

• Really? I think Twilight thinks another way.

• Yes... - answered the obviously distracted Twilight

• Twi? - Dash expected an answer.

• The ice, the sand and the amber are here, which means the missing are... ruby- for the Fire, topaz- for the earth, the pearl- for the Light, amethyst- for the Darkness, aquamarine- for the Water, quartz- for the Wind and the diamond must be Hase himself!

• Bravo, Twilight! But don't think you'll get away by finding the diamond! It will only appear when all the other gems are found. And the missing ones are by their lord.To defeat them all is equal to finding all the gems, which is equal to finding the diamond,which is equal to finding me, which is equal to return in the old Equestria! Roger that?

• One thing I don't understand. Why are they 10 instead of just 7? Why do you give us 3? - asked Luna

• Well, you asked for reinforcements yourself! The 3 gems replicate the lords, that do not have a kingdom and are good unlike the other 6. You will meet them on your way and they will help you by your task. I don't think you don't need help! Everypony needs it sometimes.

• And what will they be like? - Pinkie Pie was curious.

• I think Twilight, who obviously shares my interest in mineralogy, can answer you.

• The ice is obviously the lord of Ice, the desert rose- the lord of Sand and the amber... that's harder... electricity?

• Voila! None of them is a seperate element, because ice is water, sand is earth, and you can say, that electricity is a mixture of light and fire.

• Yeeey! We will have giant ice sculptures, real size sand castles and the best fireworks EVER! Thank you Hase! - Pinkie Pie was absolutely happy.

• You are a strange band, - laughed Hase - , now go!

It was already morning and the ponies went out. The sun shined and everything looked normal. There wasn't anything chaotic. The group decided to ask the first pony they meet for the way.

• Hey, you! Stop! - yelled Dash at a gray pegasus

• Yes, what do you want, Rainbow Dash?- answered the pony

• Ditzy! - recognized Dash the pegasus - Your eyes are OK!

• They were never bad, Dash.

Rainbow Dash turned confused to Twilight. The purple earth pony whispered:

• Alternate dimension!

• Oh. Aa, Ditzy, have you heard of any kind of stones in the area around Ponyville?

• Yes. Why? Are Twilight's aunt and her sister interested from them?

Dash turned back again. Luna and Celestia made her signs. She understood, that in this dimension the princesses were Twilight's aunts.

Way higher, in a couch on cotton candy clouds, Discord and Hase sat and ate popcorn. They bursted out laughing.

• That's better than any theater comedy show, Discord!

• The best! Do we have some chocolate milk left?

• Sure! But let's watch, these moments are usually the funniest!

Back bellow, Rainbow Dash was still amazed in the differences between the dimensions.

• Aaa, yes!

• Alright, then. I'll show you them.

After a half an hour of walking, they got there. Six stones with twice the height of rainbow stood in a circle.

• OK, now after we know the way, you can go, Ditzy!

• Bye dash!

• Bye.

After the grey pegasus got away, the ponies started to wonder how and exactly in which stone to put the medalion.

On the cotton candy clouds, the two jokesters wondered how to prank the group. Discord got a can of chocolate milk and poured it on Celestia.

• Ha-ha! - laughed the dragonecqueus.

• Rrrrr, what's that on my head! - Celestia was angry.

• Chocolate milk! - Pinkie was amased

• Discord! - yelled the royalty.

• Quick! She shouldn't see me! - whispered Hase while hiding behind the sofa

-OH! Hi, Celestia! - Discord tried to distract the ponies- It is me, the old Equestria me!

• Then why do you pour chocolate milk on us? - asked Twilight

• Look behind you!

Everypony turned aroud to see, that a droplet of the chocolate milk had activated one of the stones. It had some signs, that looked like waves and they shined in blue. The hole for the medalion was also there.

• Oh, than thank you, but know, that I prefer latte! - replied Celestia to Discord.

• Let's go! - commanded Luna and put the medalion in it's place

Everypony walked through the newopened portal. After the last pony passed, the stone turned back to normal.

• That was close! Thanks, bro! - thanked Hase to the dragonecqueus.

• Any time! - replied Discord
