The Unexpected Adventure
Chapter 24: Frank Has a Talk With the Hokage
Previous Chapter Next Chapter-Frank's point of view-
When Aston talked about his anti-self, as he called it, I was worried about him and my friends. Experiencing Night Shade taking over my body was something that I kept to myself. The first time during Chrysalis's attempt to take over the world and the second time when I fought the dark magic diamond dog named Arthur; when that happened, I killed both of them... Brutally. Now Aston is going to go through the same experience that I went through. Twilight and I explained to Aston that magic affects humans differently. Humans are bound to do negative emotions which converts to dark magic then makes an anti-personality inside our brains. Aston understood, but we decided not to say the exact details of what happened when those personalities took over and the result. Aston didn't want Apple Honey to hear any of it and I didn't either because it was a horrific subject. At the end of the day, Aston felt much better, like he just felt tons of brick getting off of his shoulders and I was glad, but the issue was still there. Though in about a month, there will be a certain Kyuubi who might give me advice about the issue.

I stretch my body because sitting in this chair is causing me to be lethargic. Though I was getting pretty excited, not only had I become Hokage, but I was looking forward to meeting up with my wife, Hinata. Most of all, the issues in the Hidden Leaf Village was getting taken care of and the relations between the great nations are united. Shizune had other plans instead which I understood what she was saying.
"I have more bills for you to fill out and pay for." She said setting the flash drive down on the desk.
"Thanks Shizune." I said plugging in the flash drive into the laptop.
In a quick flash, the documents were on the screen and I filled out all them in a fast succession. Technology flourished after the recent Great Ninja War, which I ended, and for some reason it really got me attached to it. Not in a hobby kind of way, but just to get things done because it was mostly for work.
"Finished Shizune." I said pressing the print button. She collects the printed documents and stacks it all up. "Problems these days are very small, but I don't think you're complaining." Shizune said. I smiled and look out the window, "It has been very peaceful and I like that a lot." I said getting out of my seat, stretching once again.
"Taking off?" Shizune asked holding the stacks of papers. "I have to go back for my date with Hinata, don't want to let her wait for me." I said, but a sudden puff of smoke engulfed my body, transporting me somewhere. 'Why am I being teleported to Mount Myōboku?' I thought. I really don't know what is happening, but it better be good news. I don't want to upset Hinata.
-Frank's point of view-
-Day portal opens to the world of Naruto-
Twilight decided to head off to another spa appointment with Rarity because Fluttershy got another vacation to the animal sanctuary. Before I went to Canterlot castle, I decided to stop by Logan's place. The winter's snow brushing against my hooves and the cool wind made my fur quiver. I cast the cloud walking spell on myself and teleported to a near by cloud, but I nearly collapse on my knee's. I was practicing dark magic, with Twilight watching over me, and it really drained me last night. The effects were not injuring, just straining to the Unicorns body. Though something did catch my attention when Twilight mentioned that Pegasi and Earth Ponies can use magic. I need to talk to her about it because if my friends could use magic, instead of using their hooves, then it will be amazing. I eventually made it to Rainbow house, but took shelter behind a cloud because I caught a conversation going on. I peeked through the clouds and saw that Logan was talking to Rainbow Dash about a business trip.
"Do you really have to go?" Rainbow asked with a hint of disappointment. I did hear that she had to let Tank hibernate and she had to accept it.
"Yes, unfortunately, I was called up to deliver some weather supplies to the Griffon Empire because their farm lands have been suffering a drought." Logan pointed out.
Rainbow sighed, "How long before you go?" She asked.
Logan smirked, "Right after the holidays." He said pecking her cheek, and continued, "You can have me all you want before I go."
I decided to sneak away from their conversation and made my way towards Canterlot via cloud travel. Next time I'll talk to Logan in case he has something similar to Brink or Night Shade, but I guess it would have to wait.
"Ah, so you decided to show up? I was thinking about whether you were going to be late or early." Jayden said, whom was wear a pair of sunglasses.
"Uh... Jayden are you alright?" I asked.
He sighed and revealed his eyes, which had bags below them, "Let's just say this last guest better get rid of this beam or I am going to have a fucking fit."
"That bad?" I asked.
"You... Have... No... Idea..." He said putting a hoof over his face, "It's a killer in the fucking morning and I would like some sleep because my room gets the reflection of the beam. In essence, it makes me feel awake when I should be sleeping."
I smiled, "Well don't worry about that, this will be the last guest and when he or she leaves, the beam will be gone and we'll have a Chri- I mean Hearth warming party."
"You mean Christmas?" Jayden corrected.
"They don't celebrate the birth of Christ here and it is just Hearth Warming instead." I stated.
He sighed, "I think I'll teleport to my room." Then he starts singing a tune, "Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping..."
"How are you-" I was cut off when Jayden's wings filled with an ice blue aura and magically teleported. This made my jaw drop to the ground. 'Now I see what Twilight was talking about.' I thought.
I look at the beam, it slightly burned my eye's and made me understand why Jayden hates the beam so much. All I need to do is focus on my guest and hopefully he will give me advice about what I should do in case of a similar anti-personality change happens. I glance at the beam again as it suddenly turned into a bright orange color for a second and it changed to white again. There was a sudden puff of smoke inside the beam and a spiked haired man with whiskers on his cheeks steps out looking a bit sad. This man was none other than Naruto, as the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf village. He was currently wearing his Hokage uniform that he usually wears on the job and judging by the appearance, he must be from the Epilogue chapter of the manga.
"What does the Great Toad Sage want now Chief?" Naruto asked as the smoke slowly dissipated around him.
'Is he confuse about how he got here? Well it does explain the smoke.' I thought, but spoke, "I believe that you're mistaken Naruto. There was an incident in this land that teleported you here for a reason I can explain."
He stepped forward and looked around his surroundings, "This is definitely not Mount Myōboku, where are you? Why is there a green horse here anyway?"
"Um... It's the term pony, Unicorn or Pegasi." I said to which Naruto looks at me, but didn't surprise him at all.
"So... This is a land of Ponies that Ninja can summon?" He asked.
I mentally slapped myself and forgot that the world of Naruto can summon many different creatures through a move called Summoning Jutsu. I sigh and thought, 'Play along and we'll get through this. We're still dealing with a... grown up knuckle head ninja... er... Hokage.'
"Er... Yes, but our ways of the Summoning Jutsu is different and the only way back is through the beam you just came out of." I stated.
He looks behind at the beam and nods, "Alright, what would you like to talk about?" He said walking towards me.
"How about we talk about this during a meal?" I offered.
"Sure, but only for a short time, I have a date with Hinata." He said and my fan boy inside just burst into millions upon millions of screeching. To which I slap myself internally. 'Get a hold of yourself you idiot!' I thought.
I waved a hoof towards the dining area, "Right this way."
I decided not to drag it on with conversations about this world, but only that there were other creatures instead of ponies. After we've had some ramen, I asked Naruto about how he was doing in the Hidden Leaf Village. To what he said, the village and the nations are in peace. There is not conflict around the area, but he did mention that Orochimaru was still lurking around and there have been no other signs from the destroyed Akatsuki. That was good to hear that everything was in order once again and the next subject I was about to bring could in fact help my friends and I about our anti-personalities.
"Naruto, there has been a dilemma about my friends and I want to seek your advice." I said while he was finishing his fifth ramen bowl.
"Alright lets talk about it." He said.
"Our friends have an anti-personality that resides inside of us." I said.
"Like a Kyuubi?" Naruto said for an example.
I nodded, "Kind of, but it was created by a different energy force named magic. When my friends and I have been introduced to magic, our dark emotions took form into an entity, at least that is what happened to me and another friend. It only shows up when we have anger, rage because we probably kept all of the emotions inside. Two out of six friends have been affected by this and it is only a matter of time before their true colors will be shown soon enough." I explained taking a sip from my cup, using levitation magic.
"I know how you feel, I used to have something like that when I was younger, but we're on good terms and even great friends. What would you like for me to do though? It seems personal." Naruto said.
"I just need to know how to control it, also get in good terms with it and give the same advice to my friends who will have the same fate." I said.
He got out of his seat and walked to the door before stopping, "Accept who you are. Let go all your negative emotions. Contain what is inside and try to reason with it. Only then you'll start to see who you're dealing with. That is my advice to you Frank." He sighs and continues, "I need to go, it was great having a chat with you, but I have friends, family and a village to take care of."
I spoke before he left, "Try to keep this world a secret, just say you had to talk to the Great Toad Sage." I said. All I got was a nod and in a puff of smoke he was gone. I got out of my seat and repeated what he said in my head. 'Accept who you are...' I thought.
I head out to the garden and saw Naruto head inside the beam. The beam grew thinner as it rose out of the ground and ascended into the air. I look up as the beam of light changed into many colors of the rainbow. It was now the size of a single hair only to disappear without a trace.
"THANK FUCK FOR THAT!!!" Jayden shouted from a nearby window.
Then an idea popped into my head, 'Zecora can brew a potion to help us out, but first I need to inform Princess Celestia about the beam.' I thought.
"Frank, it's wonderful to see you. I see that the beam of light has disappeared from the Garden." Celestia said.
"Yes Celestia, I just want to inform you that no more guests will show up from other dimensions." I stated.
The doors open, which made us crane our heads to the entrance. Twilight and Luna came forth into the Hall and I walk towards them to hug Twilight. She seemed to be more relaxed after her trip to the spa and the smell of grapes, which was her perfume, made me smile. Luna looked fine, but slightly upset.
"How are you doing today Luna?" I asked.
She shook her head, "Jayden is a bit cranky, but is finally asleep after the beam disappeared."
I shrug, "What can you do?" I look at Twilight's eyes and continued, "I see somepony is happy today?" I asked her.
Twilight smiled, "Yes, Rarity gave me a coupon and it really helped me relax."
I turn to Celestia, "Twilight and I need to do a few tasks, so we'll leave you and your sister to chat." I bowed as I finished.
She nods, "Of course, I will be seeing you soon again, Frank. Twilight, I bid you and Frank farewell." Her horn emitted a yellow glow and in a flash, Twilight and I were back at the castle, specifically the 'round table' room.
I made my own seat right next to Twilight in case she needed me for a friendship meeting. In some cases she just allows me to sit on her chair then she lays her body against mine. Though I made my way to the library section of the castle and browsed though the books and finally found 'Supernaturals: Natural Remedies and Cure-Alls That Are Simply Super'. I levitated the book and looked at the index then flipped to the section on 'Mental Potions', but found nothing, which I clicked my tongue in response. Twilight was confused of why I was looking through the Supernaturals book and decided to speak.
"What are you looking for?" She asked.
"Well I am looking for a specific potion that reflects your true self, though the book doesn't have any potions related to it." I said.
She walked up to me, "Why would you need that?" I explained to her what Naruto gave me for advise and she nodded, "Alright then, I guess we'll go to Zecora's; I was going to get some more herbal tea anyway."
I got my saddle pack, headed out to the front door and Twilight walked right next to me. We walked through town as I noticed that The Prancing Pony was closed because of the Rodeo at Appleloosa. Twilight decided to change direction and headed to Rarity's.
"Are we heading to Rarity so you can thank her?" I asked.
"Yes, but also I want to see Ryan's child because she is so cute." Twilight said.
I smile, "I guess I'll talk to Ryan a bit as well."
Twilight and I were at the entrance of the Carousel Boutique as we headed inside. Coco and Rarity were talking while Ryan was playing with Nia. I decided to head to Ryan, but he got to his hooves and pecked Nia on the forehead.
"Go run along Nia, I need to talk to a friend." He stated ruffling her mane as she giggled.
"OK, Daddy." She said which made my mind go numb because of how cute she said it, though I shook it off internally.
Nia headed outside and Coco shouted, "Nia, make sure you come back before sunset!"
"I will mother!" She said heading out the door.
"I see she has a lot of energy." I said to Ryan.
He nodded his head, "She's an angel." He turns is attention to me, "What would you like to talk about?"
I cleared my throat, "I was wondering how the whole family is doing between you and Coco?" I said.
He sat down on the ground, "It has been going great, Coco and I are much closer than ever. Nia is doing great in school, Miss Cheerilee was able to pull a few strings to get her to attend, and became friends with the Crusaders. As for our jobs, they're stable and we don't see it going anytime soon."
"That's good, I was brought by Twilight and we're trying to head to Zecora's for some potions." I said.
"You don't have to sound so demanding, Darling." Rarity said that over heard the conversation.
"Sorry I want to get some tasks done before the holidays." I said to the girls, to which they giggled.
"You really can't get to them once they're together like that." Ryan said quietly.
I sighed and called out towards the group of girls, "Twilight, would you be a dear and help me get to Zecora's please?" I asked.
She suddenly teleports in front of me which startled Ryan and I, "Well if you ask like that, how can I say no?" She smiled.
We eventually made it to Zecora's place, but it was a short trip because there was a sign on her door. It said: 'Sorry for the sudden disappearance, but I am with my family for the holidays, I hope I wasn't much of an inconvenience.'
I sighed, "Well I guess we will head back then." I said.
Twilight nodded, "I'm sorry about that , I didn't know that Zecora was out already for the holidays, but we'll talk to her once Hearth's Warming Eve has ended."
We started to walk towards Ponyville and I look back to Zecora's place, "I hope so Twilight, I hope so."
