My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Friends from Unexpected Places

Chapter 2

Otherworldly Heroes

“my name is Derpy. Derpy Hooves, and you?” young Derpy asked the unknown creature that came out of the bushes near her.
“e…eTu’nes.” the creature replied, frightened for his life. It shook in fear and Derps noticed it.
“you okay?” she gently asked.
“I… I’m…” the creature collapsed. Purple blood seeped out from behind it. Derpy gasped and ran over to it.
“hey. You okay?” she asked. The creature didn’t reply. He was out cold and losing a lot of blood. Derpy started worrying. She knew nothing of first aid and had no clue how to get out of the forest to get help, but she had to try something.
“un… un… hold on. I’ll be right back. Gonne try to find… something.” she worriedly said as she ran off the find something to stop the bleeding.

20 Years Later…

Down in Ponyville, Applejack was getting her stall ready when Derpy came by.
“I’m here, Applejack.” she said. “what do I have to do to help?”
“simple, pardner.” A.J. said. “just sell, sell, sell what stock I have left.” Applejack said, stomping her hoof in the ground with each ‘sell’. “Odds are, my family’s gonna need the money if we don’t find all the apples that got blown away in that windstorm yesterday.”
“I remember. And…” Derpy reached back into her saddle bag and pulled out several apples. “I found these out near the border to the Everfree Forest.”
“well, thanks there, Derpy. Much obliged.” A.J. turned to leave. “you remember what I said, right?”
“yep. Sell, sell, sell.” Derpy replied, mimicking A.J.’s stomping.
“okay. Just making sure.” A.J. said. She went off to look for the apples blown away from the storm with half of Ponyville’s population.

Time passed well into Sunset and not much happened. Only Lyra came by and she only browsed.
Derpy, bored as heck, toyed around with some coins, spinning them around underneath her hoof.
Twi walked back and saw her. “hello there, Derpy. What are you doing here?” she asked as she walked up.
“hi, Twilight.” Derpy boredly said. “Applejack asked me to watch this stand while she went to search for her apples.”
“you mean the ones lost in the windstorm yesterday?”
“Yep.”
“well, I just checked up on them. They found over half already. They didn’t fly far.” Twi explained. “so, you should be free tomorrow.”
“that’s nice.” Derpy said, still as bored as sin. “this is why I hate stalls. You can get bored easily.”
“well, It can’t be that bad.”
“with half of the town gone searching?”
“Got a point there, Derpy. When do you get off duty?” Twilight asked as she took a apple and paid for it.
“should be around now. Long after my daughters got out of school.”
That surprised Twilight enough to spit up when she chewed. “Your daughters!?” she blazingly asked. The food she spit up landed on Derpy’s face. Twi chuckled sheepishly.
“yes. Dinky and Sparkler?”
“Sparkler? I heard she was adopted by someone. That was you?” Twi asked.
“yep.”
“So Dinky would be… your real daughter?”
“yep.”
“your biological daughter?” Twi asked, feeling unsure.
“why is Everypony so surprised by that?” Derpy asked, a little bit peeved.
“well, your eyes… they don’t exactly scream motherhood.” Twi explained.
“and what does my eyes have to do with anything, like who I am or how I act?” Derpy angrily asked. Twilight was caught off guard by that response. “Besides, it’s not like I asked for these.” she depressingly said.
“huh?”
“long story.”

MLP Fighting is Magic - Rarity Theme

0:00.
A large shadow flew across the land. The shadow clearly makes out a Dragon, while the thing pursuing it was some large blob. Unfortunately, both objects are high in the clouds so nobody can get a good look.
Both flew past a mountain range and headed straight for the village in the center; Ponyville.

0:27.
Plumes of red and yellow filled the skies above, it’s origins hidden by the clouds. Everyone down below gazed up in awe and wonderment.
“wow. Gotta hand it to Rainbow. She puts on a good show.” Twi said.
“Un, Twi? That’s not me.” Rainbow said, standing right near her with Pinkie Pie.
“then… what’s all…”

0:40.
A massive beast, draped in dark shadows, fell out of the sky as plumes of fire pursued it.
The monster turned around and fired fireballs up into the clouds.
One of them sure hit something.

1:06.
A massive ship-- think of it as a flying version of a 18th century Sailing Frigate -- flew out of the clouds, it’s aft thruster section smoking from where the fireball hit. The spinning turbines where the masts should be started to strain under the pressure, same for the ones in the back.
The cannons in the front fired at the monster but it was too fast for the ship to get a decent hit.
The monster roared as it flew circles around the ship.
The ship charged into the monsters flight path, caught it, and pinned on the side of a mountain. It’s Aft cannons fired relentlessly on the monster.

“Twilight, just what in Equestria is going on up there?” Applejack asked as she, Rarity, and Fluttershy came running up.
“I… I have no idea.”

1:33.
The Monster growled angrily. In it’s mouth, a blue light appeared and started getting brighter. Whatever it was, it was gathering power.
The Monster was able to push the ship away…

1:46.
… and fire a laser beam out of it’s mouth.
It hit the engines and sent the ship spinning like a top.
The monster rammed into the ship, sending it towards the town.

The ship hit the ground just outside and flipped over something big to sent it back into the air where it spun around and around on it’s side.
Whatever was on the ship as it flipped over fell out and rolled into town, half of them into stalls or buildings.
The ship landed on the other side of town without hitting a single house and carved though the ground, stopping at the base of a small mountain.

2:13.
The Monster chuckled evilly and gave a wicked smirk. “Easier then I thought.” he said demonically as he flew up into the sky.

2:26. End Song.

“What the hay was that!?!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, not believing what she had just saw.
“how should I know? I saw it at the same time you all did.” Twi exclaimed.
Groaning could be heard coming from one of the wrecked stalls.
“Who put this wood on top of me?” someone with a british accent groaned.
A couple of ponies ran over and lifted the wood off of who was under there. Applejack and Fluttershy went over to help but didn’t arrive in time but did so who was underneath all that wood.
“is that a dragon?” A.J., F.S., and the other ponies wondered.
“Hey hey hey. The names Bahamut. And don’t you forget it.” Bahamut groaned. The Crimson dragon with Albino markings fell out on his stomach and groaned. “that’s the last time we let Aura fly Orion into battle.”
“Who and the what now?” Applejack asked, confused as heck.
“you mind getting off of me, Dragon boy?” some woman underneath him asked.
“Oh. Sorry, Sora.” Bahamut jumped off the pile of wood he was on.
Sora, a woman of 20 who’s skilled with a Bow and Arrow, crawled out and sputtered like a horse. “Who’s idea was it to let Aura fly the ship?” she groaned.
“blame Satoshi. He was the one who was asleep.” Bahamut said.
“un… excuse me.” Applejack calmly said, getting their attention. “But what in Equestria are you talking about!?” she bluntly asked.
Sora couldn’t find a answer so she just laid there, mouth open. “un…… I got nothing. You?” she asked Bahamut.
“I think these are natives.” Bahamut said. “but talking horses? Don’t tell Jax.”
“I think she’ll find out on her own.”
“What are you talking about? And who are you…. Things?” Twilight asked, walking over.
“We’re called humans, horsy.” Sora outright said. That term shocked the ponies to a T. that’s basically calling a human just a ape. “And…”

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep OST: The Tumbling

A loud roar filled the air, cutting the conversation short.
The Monster returned as it barreled though the clouds.

“Ugly’s back.” Bahamut said, not towards Sora.
“we see him. We see him.” someone said over a unseen radio. It was loud enough for the Ponies to hear it.

The monster growled as it glided over the town. Drops of darkness fell from his wings and landed on the ground.
“Hey. Say it, don’t spray it!” Requiem complained, picking herself out of another stall near Twi’s house.
The shadows started taking form, turning into nightmare versions of different sorts of humans and ponies. “that’s new. Didn’t know you could do that.” the 18-year old heroine exclaimed.
She smirked, reached back behind her, and pulled out a red and blue sword with a black and white angel-demon wing crossguard. “bring it on.” she egged on, taking a battle pose.

The monster looked down to the ground, seeing the fight. It looked back at it’s wings and sighed lamentably.
It flapped it’s wings once and flew away from the town, towards the eastern mountains.

“looks like Ugly is leaving.” Ash said, pistols drawn and aimed at the beasties.
“I noticed. You happen to have a plan, Mr. Silverton?” Aura smirked.
“yeah. Get out of this alive and pound you for calling me by my last name.” the 21-year old cowboy dressed gunslinger said.
“hehe. True ‘dat.” the 19 year old lance wielder smirked.
The 2 of them are all that stood between the shadow monsters and a crowd of defenseless ponies.

“un… you mind telling us what’s going on?” a nervous Twilight asked, staring at the legion of shadow creatures.
“Un… we’re all that stands between you and total destruction?” Sora said, giving a faux smile. She drew her bow out and took aim at the monsters.
“wonder how much it takes to kill one?” Bahamut wondered.
“we’re about to find out.” a silent Sora said.

On top of the town hall, on the tippy top of a lightning rod, a 14-year old mage looked over the town.
“345... 346... 347 nasties.” she counted. “barely even worth the spell I have in mind.” she smirked.
She took a couple of chakrams off of her belt. she started to glow a warm green color as tossed the yellow rings into the air. She brought her arms together and closed her eyes as she cast the spell. the Chakrams started spinning around her.

Ash jumped back, took aim at one of the creatures, and fired at it. It dispersed into blue fire after one shot. Ash landed and took aim again.
“Are they that easy to take down?” he asked.
Aura looked at his lance then smirked at the monsters. He charged them, did one slice, and emerged on the other side of the crowd with nary a scratch. The monsters disintegrated.
“guess they all.” Aura said as he leaved his lance on to his shoulder.
“Show off.”

Green lighting started shooting into her as a Glyph of the same color appeared beneath the town hall.
“oh, mighty force of nature. Us mortals respect your destructive power…”

Requiem landed in the middle of a congregation of the monsters, all of how are converging on her.
“28, 29... 30. Oh, what is a poor little girl like me to do?” she jokingly asked, acting like a frail damsel in distress.
She smirked, raised her sword high, and slammed it into the ground.
A white light extended outward about 30 feet, engulfing the creatures surrounding her. All 30 of them instantly disintegrated.
Requiem pulled her sword out. “man, I love that spell.”

The Chakrams started expanding their spinning zone, eventually taking up the entire area around city hall.
“…and this mortal respectfully call upon your mighty winds to help defeat our foes with your powerful gusts…”

Sora ducked and kicked one of the monsters in the gut, disintegrating upon impact.
Bahamut engulfed himself in fire and rammed into several other monsters, destroying them.
“just who are these guys?” A.J. asked in amazement.
“I wish I knew, but they seem to know what they’re doing.” Twilight replied, also in amazement.
Derpy and the other Mane 6 looked on in amazement. Derpy noticed the girl on top of city hall, casting that spell.

The Chakrams started spinning more violently as the spell reached it’s apex.
“… let us blow our foes away into the bowels of Hades from which they came.”
The girl opened her eyes.
“RAVAGING VORTEX!!!” she yelled out.
A massive tornado appeared in the middle of town, spinning wildly.
The remaining monsters were picked up by the force and pulled into the vortex.
Everyone else held on for dear life, not wanting to be sucked in as well.

Ash and Sora also held on but Requiem, Aura, and Bahamut allowed themselves to be pulled in.
“They are crazy.” Twi exclaimed.
Blades of yellow shot out of the tornado, as well as plumes of fire.
Requiem, Aura, Bahamut, and Jax jumped out of the tornado.
The Tornado exploded in a flash of fire, destroying the remaining monsters.

End Song.

The giant monster flew though the air, heading away from the town.
It sensed that it’s hoard had failed and growled.
A very intense pain filled it’s head. He felt like his head was going to split open. It shook it’s head and the pain went away.
It flapped it’s wings and flew as fast as it could.
