The OC Story
Chapter 36: Duskshine, Kyra, and freaks.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWith a large bright light and a puff of smoke, the bandages came off from the Alicorns, but somehow... they're not the same. In Twilight's spot, a purple stallion with all of her features (minus mane & tail) sat where she was, and the R63 version of Kane sat where he sat in.
"What's going on?" Kane asked "Why am I sitting where Kane sat in?"
"But you are Kane." Matt said
"I'm not! I'm Twilight Sparkle!!! Look at me and tell it's not me."
"It's not you." They all replied
"Just look at your hooves." Pinkie suggested.
"Oh pinkie," Kane said, beginning to look at his hooves "you know well that- AAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
"I told you!"
"What's happened to me?"
"I think you mean us." The purple stallion said. They both looked at each other and screamed!!!
"I'm in his body!!!"
"Kinda, I'm in your body!!!"
"Almost," Zecora said "m dear friends. You've switched bodies, but genders went in a bend."
"Wait," Doug said "you mean to tell us that, not only did they switch bodies, but the bodies have swap genders as well?"
"I seems like that." Gustavo said
"Great!!!" The Kane in R63 Twilight's body said "Well guys, if I'm going to be stuck inside her body but with my 23rd chromosome, just call me... Duskshine!!!"
"Duskshine?" The Mane 6 asked
"In our world," Russell answered "There's artworks on you becoming your opposite gender. Kane is Duskshine, an alternate form of Twilight."
"Well," Rarity said, sweating a bit "If you don't mind, I... need... to... make... a...uh..."
"Is there something wrong Rarity?" 'Duskshine' asked. Without saying anything, Rarity ran away!!! They looked outside the windows to only see her faint.
"Well then," Twilight in Kane's R63 body said "for now call me... Kyra!!!"
"Kyra?" Everyone asked
"It's a work in progress."
"Is there anything we can do Zecora?" Dash asked
"Indeed this a challenge," Zecora replied "but it may have some of it's gallons."
"Like what?" Fluttershy asked
"I have no idea, but they will need it for their inner arena."
"What the hay is that suppose to mean?" A.J. asked
"I don't know," Kyra replied "But we may or may not find out, even with Zecora's help."
"So we're stuck like this?" Dusk asked
"Maybe, but there should be a way."
"There is a way," Zecora said "and it should only take you a day."
"What is it?" Dusk asked
"Can you tell us?" Kyra asked
"Up in the North," Zecora answered "an elder has challenges you'll pull forth. Beat his test, and you'll be blessed."
"Alright you two," Doug said "you should go and find this... elder... and get your bodies back."
"Yeah," Matt added "It's kinda weird you two switched bodies and made them your own."
"Don't dilly dalle," A.J. said "We'll travel with you along the way."
"We will?" Russell asked "I thought we will hang out."
"You can," Gustavo said "I'm going to see how Rarity's doing. She seems to be acting... weird."
"Go do that," Das said "We're going north to meet this elder!!!"
They all ran out of the hospital and headed north, up to where a mountain stood. A path was on the mountain, revealing it was pre made for this purpose. Without the use of wings or magic, they travelled upwards, climbing the path. The path withered away, and they found a small hut.
"You should leave us." Dusk said
"Too much attention will be brought on to you." Kyra answered
"Alright," Fluttershy said "I'm sure he's a nice pony or person."
"But to be sure," Pinkie said, pulling out a club from a satchel "Use this in case things get weird."
"WE'RE NOT GOING TO USE THAT PINKIE!!!" They both yelled
"Who's out there?" An old male asked. Everyone but the two Alicorns hid behind a boulder. A much older man came out of the hut, but he had both the wings of a Pegasus and a horn of a unicorn. The two had their mouths open, nearly screaming at this mix.
"You're head!!!" Dusk yelled
"And you have wings!!!" Kyra added
"I know," the old man said "I escaped from a military base when all of this began." The Alicorns looked at each other.
"Were you-" Dusk began to ask
"A human. I was a human. Never really did like the show. Gained these abilities & flew away. Why are you here?"
"Our fiend told us you can help us." Kyra answered
"Ah, that rhyming Zebra? She came here out of curiosity."
"What happened?"
"I learned a couple of magic tricks. Been surviving thanks to it. Name's Ed by the way, nice to see a couple together." The two jumped a bit.
"A couple?" Dusk asked "we're not a couple, sir."
"We're not," Kyra added "we're just acquaintance. Can you help us get back to our original bodies?"
"Original Bodies?" Ed asked
"Yes sir!"
"I'm sorry, but I can't."
"WHAT!?!?!?" They both yelled
"I can sense you two love each other. Sing a song or you won't get any help." Ed went back into his hut and pulled out a boom box. Some music began to play. They both danced a bit to the beat and began to sing!
The music ended. Some applause happened from behind a boulder. All their group members came out, applauding on their duet with each other.
"YOU BROUGHT OTHERS!?!?" Ed asks furiously
"We did," Dusk replied "But we told them to leave."
"LIAR!!!"
"Please!!!" Kyra begged "help us out."
"NO!!! HAVE FUN BEING IN YOUR NEW BODIES!!!" He used his magic to pack all his stuff up and began to fly away. The two Alicorns just watched as Ed teleported away from them.
"GET BACK HERE!!!" Dash yelled. She flew and began to chase Ed. Dusksine and Kyra snapped out of their phase and followed her, with Dusk having Doug on his back, A.J. on Kyra's back, but both holding Matt by his bottom legs. Russell & Fluttershy picked up Pinkie Pie, following the group, as they chased Ed. Ed saw them flying close to him, and he began to fly faster, throwing large boulders at them with his magic. They were able to dodge the boulders thrown at them, but Ed was getting away!!! The whole group stopped at a mountain, and it looked as if Ed got away.
"Where is he?" Fluttershy asked
"I don't know about you guys," Matt said, "But HELP ME!!!" Dusk and Kyra accidentally let go of Matt, and he began to fall. Dash flew to catch him, but it seemed as the inevitable was going to happen: Matt was going to fall on the sharp rocks below!!! Dash stopped and flew up, knowing it was too late, and they all covered their eyes, except for Dusk, who could only see the last few seconds of his Best friend's life.
"NNNNNOOOOO!!!" Dusk yelled. He expected the worse as Matt was inches before hitting the rocks... but he didn't!!! Instead, Matt went through the rocks as if he were a ghost. They all flew to the sharp rocks and touched it: all their hooves went through without touching any rock.
"A cover-up Spell!!!" Kyra yelled
"What?" they all asked
"This is a Cover-Up spell: it's meant to make you believe one thing is there, when, in reality, there's nothing there at all. This must be where Ed went."
"Well let's go in!" A.J. yelled, jumping off her back. They all followed: They could see the outside world just fine, but Matt landed in a large pool like area, and other humans were there, some looking like Ed (though some looked like regular humans, others only had wings or a horn), but other that were mutated looking: Some had the faces & head structure of ponies, others only had hooves, others looked liked centaurs, but they weren't exactly human looking anymore.
"It's the heroes!!!" A voice said
"They can help us!!!" Another said
"Isn't their strongest member a male?" One asked
"Who are those other candy colored horses?" Another asked
"Horses?" Pinkie asked "The definition is 'Ponies'!!!"
"Easy there Pinkie," Matt said "What do you need help with?"
"Fist things first," Dusk interrupted his friend "Where is the one named 'Ed'?"
"Ed?" One of the people asked "Can we get a description."
"Pretty old," Kyra added "Only has wings & horn. Looks like a human."
"Oh," another answered "That Ed! Yeah, he came in not to long ago."
"Where is he?" Matt asked
"Fist things first," another of the citizens said "you fell in our water, and you, along with your friends, have clean up your fur & mane in our drinking source." They check inside the water: It seemed as if Matt had lost all hairs on his body inside the pool.
"Can we get a net?" Doug asked
"We can't."
"Why not?" Russell complained
"2 reasons:" one of the more smarter citizens answered "we're low on resources, nets are only used for fishing purposes only, and many of your hairs will easily pass through the holes."
"Now what do we do?" A.J. asked
"We'll be here for hours!!!" Dash yelled.
"We can help." A high pitch voiced said.
"Who said that?" Fluttershy asked "Is that a Breezie? Do you have breezies down here?"
"What's a Breezy?" One of the people asked
"No!" Another high pitch voice said "Down here!" They looked down and saw 4 small ponies that stood no bigger than a couple of inches to their hooves. There was a white-tanish male Earth Pony with grey hooves like Kane's, & had a bacon cutie mark with matching Mane & tail that looked like Bacon, A reddish-orange unicorn with a black mane & tail with a video game controller cutie mark, A dark green Alicorn with grey-brown mane & tail with a weird cutie mark with a pony surrounded by candles, and finally, a white earth pony with a dark blonde mane with a black circle cutie mark that has a weird symbol on it.
"Hello there!" The bacon one spoke "allow me to introduce us: I am Pan Sizzle. The other Earth Pony is Vanilla Beam, The Unicorn is Lajoker 777, and the Alicorn is Epic Kitty 54! We're here to help!!!" Everyone wiped their eyes, not sure if what they were seeing was real: Super small Ponies that were almost as big as bugs to them. Dusk lied down on all 4, taking a closer look at them.
"How are you going to help us?" Duskshine asked, nudging Pan Sizzle a bit with one of his hooves. Some music began to play
"♫Tell us," Pan sizzle talk-sing "your emergency?♫"
"Our friend fell into this pool accidentally" Doug replied
"Do your have some bacon?" Kitty added
"Bacon?" A citizen asked
"Bacon, That's right"
"We have bacon left over from dinner last night"
"Rub some bacon in it" The small unicorn said
"what?" Kyra asked in confusion
"On the pool just do it, Rub some bacon in it."
"That's all there is to it?" Pinkie asked. The four nodded. They got a bacon piece and, sure enough, all of Matt's fur & mane in the water got sucked into the pieces of Bacon!!!
"What if I dropped my phone?" Russell asked
"Rub some bacon on it" The 4 replied
"Or encounter my clone?" 2 Pinkie asked at the same time
"Rub some bacon on it"
"I get mononucleosis" Matt said
"Rub some bacon on it"
"My nude pics get posted" Russell whispered, sweating a bit & looking around. The four got on Top of Duskshine's head. Dusk carefully got up, as the unicorn & alicorn used a spell and summoned some Microphones with loudspeakers that's their size
"♫Rub some bacon on it!" They all sang "Rub some bacon on it! Rub some bacon on it!!! Yeah!!!"
"My home gets foreclosed." One of the freaks said
"Rub some bacon on it"
"My cat explodes" Doug said
"Rub some bacon on it"
"I wake up in a trunk." A freak said, with his voice muffled inside a broken & old car.
"Rub some bacon on it"
"My friend goes steampunk" Dusk said, pointing at Matt, who was trying on a top hat with goggles in the shape of cogs
"Rub some bacon on it"
"We meet real pirates" A.J. said
"Rub some bacon on it"
"There's an awkward silence" Pinkie said Everyone froze, not knowing what to do.
"I say something unintentionally racist" Doug said, holding some fried chicken to one of the freaks that was African-American
"Rub some bacon on it"
"I'm a adult with braces" The African American freak said
"Rub some bacon on it"
"I can't swim" Fluttershy stated
"Rub some bacon on it"
"I'm visited by Mr. Tim" A child freak said, pointing at a Man that looks like Ed, but had the Groucho Marx Disguise
"♫Rub some bacon on it, Rub some bacon on it, Rub some bacon on it!!! YEAH!!!♫" A phone rang for them, taking them a bit of time to find it. A freak found the phone and placed it on Dusk's head.
"Bacon hotline," they all asked "What's your problem?"
"What if I feed the trolls?" Luna asked from the other side
"Rub some bacon on it"
"I'm attacked by a narwhal" Cadence said, with some narwhal sounds going around
"Rub some bacon on it"
"The apocalypse started" Shining Armor said with fear.
"Rub some bacon on it"
"I think I might have farted" Celestia ended, hanging up the phone.
"♫Rub some bacon on it!!!" Everyone sang "Rub some bacon on it Rub some bacon on it Yeah!!!♫" They all laughed hard. Dusk lead on a while, laughing so hard he was tearing up. The literal little ponies got off his head and onto a loaf of bread.
"I have no idea what your backstories are," Dusk said, trying not to laugh "but you have GOT to join us!!!"
"We may consider it." EpicKitty said
"It'll be an honor to be with you heroes." Lajoker added
"And with the Mane 6!!!" Vanilla Beam yelled
"And living inside both your mouths and stomachs!!!" Pan Sizzle said with some glee. Dusk stopped chuckling and heard what Pan said
"What?" Dusk asked, changing his tone almost immediately "You want to live in our mouths and stomach?"
"I FOUND HIM!!!" Pinkie yelled.
"We'll discuss this later." Dusk said to the others. He lowered his head a bit and they jumped into his mane. Duskshine and the others found Ed, sitting nearby a campfire and cooking a stew in a kettle.
"Alright Ed." Kyra said, walking towards him. "Turn us back to our original bodies!!!"
"Yeah!!!" Dusk added. Ed looked up to the two, still stirring his stew.
"No." He simply said "I won't." The two just stood there with a blank look. They looked back at Ed, with fire in their eyes.
"Matt?" Dusk asked
"Yes?" Matt replied
"Hold on to our helpers for a while. Kyra and I are going to have a little moment with Ed."
"And you may want to cover your eyes." Kyra added. Matt quickly grabbed the 4 in his mouth, holding them by their tails. Everyone turned and covered their Ears, closing their eyes hard!!!
"Stop!!!" Ed begged as Both Dusk and Kyra kicked him on the floor "I'll turn you back to normal!!!"
"About Time!" Kyra yelled. They both stopped kicking Ed and backed up a bit. Ed, though weak, got up. He concentrated as his horn glowed an eerie green. A blast came from it, hitting the two! The two were now back to their original body's with it's gender.
"Sweet Lady Freedom!!!" Kane yelled "Hello my old, brown coat with white hooves!!!"
"Oh yes!" Twilight said, hugging herself "it's so great to be purple once again!!!"
"Now leave me alone." Ed said "My stew is overheating." They ran away from Ed, right to the area they came in.
"Okay guys," Pan said, digging himself out of Matt's mane "now about us?"
"What about you?" Russell asked
"Did you want us to tell them?" Epic Kitty asked to his colleagues
"Nah," Vanilla replied "The Bg guy should." Everyone turned to Kane, wondering what they meant.
"What are they talking about?" Dash asked. Kane froze for a minute.
"They want to join us." Kane replied
"That's not so bad," Fluttershy said, holding Lajoker gently & hugging him as if he were a toy. "They're so cute!"
"Cute?" Lajoker replied
"And helpful." Twilight said "They could go in areas where we're too big to fit in.
"But there's something else," Kane said. they turned an looked at the Alicorn "They... want us... to... eat them." They all froze, giving a very questionable look.
"Did you say they want us to eat them?" Doug asked
"There's no way I'm doing cannibalism!" A.J. said
"I don't think you guys would taste like Candy." Pinkie said
"Oh come on," EpicKitty begged "we're super small! You can swallow us whole!"
"NO!" The normal sized ones responded
"Please?" The micros asked
"No means NO!!!"
"You can join us," Twilight said "you can walk all over our bodies, but we're not going to eat you! That is final!!!" The 4 small ones stared a bit, then they began to laugh, tearing up a bit.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked
"Thank Celestia!!!" Pan yelled "we're saved!!!"
"What!?!?" They all asked
"Finally!!!" Kitty said "Giants that will protect us!!!"
"We're no longer snacks to anyone!!!" Vanilla said
"The Heroes and Mane 6 have saved our lives!!!" Lajoker said.
"Come again?" Kane asked
"Ever since this began," Pan replied "we've each struggled with the hardships of being super small in a world so large!"
"You've been small the entire time?" Dash asked
"Oh yes," Vanilla replied "Until we meet each other. It got easier, but we still struggled."
"We watched the news and read newspapers that fell on us," Epickitty added "and we've heard your heroic tales!!!"
"Especially you!" Lajoker said, pointing at Kane "How was it like, being swallowed by a giant, then becoming one yourself?"
"Well," Kane responded "At first, I thought my life ended, until Matt and Doug rescued me... of core, Doug got me swallowed in the first place."
"That's the power of Cheez Whizz!!!" Doug yelled
"YOU SHUT UP!!! I WAS ALMOST DIGESTED IN THERE!!!"
"What about being a giant?" The small ponies asked
"That... it was amazing!"
"How so?"
"Everywhere I looked, everything that could've hurt me fatally felt like a small kick. Buildings were nothing more than Lego buildings, the Ocean was like a Kitty Pool, and everyone was like ants."
"Do you fell like that around us?"
"...Kinda. I'm still normal sized, but you're really small." Kane place the tip of his wings to their hooves "Now, hop on the U.S.S. Alicorn and let's go on an adventure." The small ones teared up a bit and climbed onto his wing, then onto his back. They lied down into his back, making a weird bed from his loose skin
"How cute" Fluttershy commented
"What?"
"You remind me of an opossum with her young."
"I'm not like that. I'm like... a fierce guardian that's protecting all it's friends & family."
"Whatever," Dash commented "you're like a mommy."
"You think we should help these guys first?" Russell asked
"Yeah," Pinkie said "they're not all that happy down here."
"What can we do?" Matt asked "These... freaks can't be saved. No offense."
"None taken." A freak replied.
"There is one way." Another freak said, passing by.
"That is?" Everyone asked
"Do you have barbecue sauce? My meat could use some extra sass."
"I think I have some." Doug replied, pulling out a bottle of sauce
"You have barbecue sauce?" Kane asked
"Yeah, I've had it with me since this all began. I was going to use this on you if I didn't have the cheez whizz canon." Doug smiled very troll like while Kane gave an angry look. He gave the freak a some sauce to the freak on his steak. The freak took a bit into it, amazed by it's taste, but then he froze. He stared at them a bit and began to twitch a bit. In a flash, the freak disappeared, and a pony was in it's place!
"I'm cured!!!" The pony said "Although I'm a pony... and it isn't my favorite show at all... I can rejoin civilization!!! Thank you Heroes!!!" He ran towards the other freaks "GUYS!!! Barbecue sauce is the cure!!!"
"What?" The other freaks asked "But you're a pony!!!"
"It's better than what you're all in."
"Touche'."
"They're over there!!!" All the freaks began to run to our heroes. Kane used his wings to cover his little ponies.
"We're gonna need more sauce." A.J. said
"I think you're right." Doug said. "Dash and Fluttershy?"
"Yes?" They both replied
"Use some of our treasure and buy more sauce for these fellows. We may need a whole store load."
"You got it!" Dash said. They both flew out and headed to a nearby store in Ponyville.
"Wait for me!!!" Russell yelled, flying after the two. It took them a couple of hours to get more barbecue sauce, and a couple of more minutes to give it to the freaks. All of them turned into the 4 different pony species, all thanking him for their help. Ed was the last, where he ate some sauce and turned into a while Alicorn.
"Well guys," Ed simply said "I thank you for helping me out, and I apologize for not helping you two out. Goodbye, we may meet each again in the future." All the Pegasi carried their own Earth Pony &/or Unicorn, usually one being carried by their front legs and another on the Pegasus' back. They all flew up to the sky, leaving their area & abandoning the spell over the area. They all flew in many directions, most likely heading to the nearest town they can get to. The 4 small ponies woke up and looked around
"What happened?" Pan Sizzle asked
"Why is Everyone gone?" LaJoker asked
"They're all cured." Fluttershy replied, petting Vanilla on his head.
"Now what?" Kane asked
