Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey? Nope, Just Max
Chapter 13: Chapter 12: Truth, Skipping Court, and Handsome Jack
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWhat?! I'm WHAT!? If this is just a sick joke, I'm gonna-... Just- PAIN! LOTS OF PAIN! I thought as I came out of my portal and ran right through Cadence. I didn't even hear what she said as I blasted down the hallways, using my powers to go even faster. I guess I scared all those guards I used as springboards and I might've left a dent or two in the walls when I went around corners, but I managed to get to the medical wing in under a minute.
Bursting in the doors, I spotted Home Remedy walking away from a guard with a sprained wing and tackled him. "First, I have a concussion. second, I might be pregnant so do whatever scans you can," I said when his eyes stopped spinning.
"Um.... W-well, you'll have to get off of me for me to do any good," he said with a slight blush.
"Fine," I groan as I stand up, pulling the doctor with me.
Once he was standing he lit his horn, a beam traveling up and down me once. "I have good news and slightly better news."
"No bad news?" I said looking skeptical.
Shaking his head he said, "It all depends on how you look at it. The good news is your concussion isn't bad, though I'd suggest not sleeping today."
"What's the rest of the news?"
"You're a month pregnant."
Holy shit, he was right! I thought before my thoughts devolved into happy and terrified gibbering. When I came back to reality I was being held by Celestia, my hair being stroked as I calmed down.
"I-I'm pregnant," I said with a smile.
"Ssh, I know. You were babbling on about what might happen," Celestia said kissing me soon after.
"B-but-"
She put her hoof to my mouth. "No buts. Right now I have court and I think I'd like your help with some things that will come up."
I sighed. "Alright. Maybe it'll distract me for a bit."
With that we stood up and walked to the throne room, only saying something when what looked like a purple tinted meteor crashed into the maze.
"I hope that didn't hit Rainbow's trampoline," I said as I stared at the cloud of purple-tinted dust.
"No, that went further into the maze than that," Celestia said, walking towards the throne room again. "We can send some guards to see what happened."
I bit my lip, There's something more exciting than court happening.... I won't be able to sit there without my mind wandering to that meteor all the time, I decided. "I'm gonna go check it out myself."
Celestia stopped and looked at me. “What of court?”
“It can wait another hour or two,” I said as I jumped out the window, falling the four floors to the ground.
Landing next to a guard I said, “Get Sol and Mun up, I think we’ll need them for this.”
“Yes ma’m,” he said as he turned to go inside.
“Oh alright, I’ll come along too,” Celestia said after she teleported down. “You should try to take it easy, Max.”
Walking towards the maze I said, “Don’t worry, it doesn’t do anything besides give me a headache when I use my powers.”
“And using magic doesn’t do the same?”
“My powers don’t take energy, unlike magic,” I said as I turned a corner.
“But what do they take in exchange?”
“I’ve been playing around with the idea that I’m- Holy shit, that’s a big crater,” Right in front of me were the rest of the maze should have been was a giant crater. Why there had only been a little dust and not a huge explosion that shoved Canterlot off the side of the mountain.... I’m not gonna question it; cartoon logic is a good enough explanation for me. In the middle was a short mesa with what looked like a... thing from... I think the game was called Borderlands? I hadn’t really gotten into the game and the franchise failed after the second game. Next to the object was a small shrub, burning away without a care in the world. All on the mesa were small, glowing purple shards.
“... At least the maze was insured,” Celestia said as we stared.
“But-but MY TRAMPOLINE!!!” After I said that the twisted frame crashed down next to me, causing me to jump away. “Now I have to buy a new one,” I said with a pout.
“You can do that later, I’m intrigued to see what could cause this,” Celestia said, walking towards the center of the crater. Following behind her, I noticed that there was a logo on the side with an H right in the middle. Wait, isn’t that the Hyperion logo? They had the best sniper rifles in the game.... Maybe this thing can give me one?
Stepping up onto the mesa, I walked right up to the object I realized had to be a Hyperion Acquisition Beacon. Sitting upright miraculously in the middle of this small crater looking very pristine as if nothing around it’s current spot actually happened, only for a wave beam of sorts washed over Celestia and I, giving off some sort of audio response that I missed on account of Sol and Mun pulling both Celestia and I behind them, Sol handing me Rainbow in the process.
“Um... it was just scanning us.... For some reason,” I said, looking over their shoulders. Just then a hologram of an alicorn with a red mane of what looked like wires hanging over one eye appeared, blinking glowing optics at the view presented by the beacon. She had a white possibly waxed ‘coat’ and was wearing a Hyperion yellow business suit that was stylized in the Hyperion colors from Borderlands, her mechanical wings fluttered slightly only to settle against her back.
Blinking once more before obviously looking towards Celestia giving a shrug, the pony in question had a curious expression on her face. “We give our Greetings onto thou by local time considering ‘day’, May we start with introductions?” The oddly speaking olde’ tongue of said pony present, giving off a regal ‘air’ of command before gesturing to herself with a five fingered hand? “We would be F.A.U.S.T., The second choice one would get when using the Hyperion Corporation's Beacon from another universe.”
I chuckled a little before saying, “Second? I thought a beautiful mare such as yourself would be the first.” I slightly pushed Sol and Mun out of the way, trying to make myself more visible.
“Commander, we have no-” Sol started.
“Idea what this... thing is capable of,” Mun finished.
“I recognize this beacon from my previous world, it’s harmless... after it lands obviously.”
The projected Possible alicorn looked amused by the whole situation, even a devious glint in the eye. “We would have to refuse thy courtship, since thou appear to already be with one of our daughters. Or not due to Multiverse ‘differences’, but regardless we have seen the historical ‘reference’ to one whom would put one of our kind’s mate in danger or do combat with. If thou had the alicorn version of ‘Nightmare Moon’ imagine instead of forever night to ‘smite’ the ground of the offender’s remains of the material and spiritual if skilled enough.” Giving a smile after said explanation.
I shook my head, “Didn’t have Nightmare, but we did have.... What did Luna say you were called when you were banished?” I asked Celestia.
“.... Daymare Flare,” She moaned in embarrassment, covering her face with a hoof.
“Yeah... Celly... I don’t know what she did, but she was the one that got banished,” I explained, setting Rainbow on my lover’s back.
This Faust gave a curious expression before making a possible note, maybe as it’s hard to tell from this angle before that odd neutral ‘expression’ looked so natural on that face. “What would the intending transaction be about on this day, after such, joyous embarrassment was held?” The feeling of being watched grew intense under that scrutinizing gaze.
“Do you sell sniper rifles? Like really high-powered ones that anyone would be able to easily use?” I said with a small smile.
Faust blinked for a moment, looking at me, than at the ponies present before giving a slight hand wave in their direction. “For thyself or those currently present beholding this? For it has been done before for Quadrupeds, but the battle saddles were from war build up technology.” She stated in a serious tone if it was to be wielded by them or me.
“For scrawny, weak old me. Also, would I be able to get two shields? Turtle would be preferable, but if you don’t have any I’ll take a regular one.”
Cueing up the orders on the right side of the holographic screen showed other options as well currently greyed out, even so far as list possible purchase of grenades along with the sniper rifle. “We would suggest grenades or even a secondary gun, for sniper rifles can only effectively apply at ironically a ranged capacity and without time to train may become a hindrance if not careful.” The hologram image gave a neutral smile, looking into my eyes with a raised eyebrow at some spot behind me?
“No thanks, I have some other guns and I... don’t really trust myself with grenades,” I said as I read the details for the rifle and the shields, noticing that both of the shields were designed to be used by those of small stature. “Besides, with my powers I’ll be able to train while I need to use the gun. Oh, I almost forgot, do you have anything that’ll heal a pegasus?”
There was a calm neutral tone still as the image of this Faust responded. “It would depend on the state of said injuries, options available and amount WILLING to pay for such a procedure. But that would be fairly standard, for what Hyperion has access to.” She responded seeming to gauge the intended patient being nearby.
I frowned. So they have the items and more, but how much would it be- I thought before Sol leaned over and whispered, “That device has already scanned our avatars and is trying to scan our hulls.”
“So you’re stealing information while selling me things?” I said to Faust as I crossed my arms, a disgusted look on my face.
The robotic hologram simply held a neutral smile still, as the look she gave Sol could be felt as a ‘chilling’ tone still holding that look as before but those eyes surged slightly. “We do not steal, as at this time it is customary to thoroughly scan every individual. The case in point being ‘variances’ from one universe to another, case in point, ourself and those collected with thyself. But the observations may be ‘obvious’ on surface levels it is what is different of the ‘makeup’ that provides the most information and theories adjusted in kind.” During that spoken moment two test tubes came into view, before in her hand came towards the holographic view until a REAL hand holding said tubes appeared.
Giving a sultry cough proceeding with her topic. “These would be for medical sample purposes IF the transaction is to proceed, besides listed local medical records, current condition and the permission to receive said patient if all else goes through.” The hand dropped both test tubes from her grasp with the hand retreating back while they hovered in place by I guess the token’s doing.
Softening my expression, I said, “I can understand that, but please stop scanning them. I don’t want anyone, even someone outside of this universe, to know their weaknesses; even I don’t know what they are. Besides, it’s obvious who the patient will be.” I gestured at Rainbow’s casts and bandages. Damn, now I won’t be able to use the knowledge of how their bodies work as a way to trade for the healing item.
She merely nodded, before gesturing for more information besides the ‘visual’ display of said Rainbow Dash using her fingers even going so far. As to outright ‘visualize’ holographic papers next to a comical outline image of a injured pegasus pony. “It is pleasant that said requested patient is present, but as we stated earlier, documentation is required for ‘proper’ more streamlined proceedings as any treatment may have side effects from cross universal laws. Also stated earlier could hold a deciding factor how treatment is handled.” Before said bipedal alicorn robot folded her arms making the chest more pronounced a bit.
Celestia, getting what the other alicorn was saying, lifted the injured filly in her magic and set her in front of the hologram.
That’s a nice rack she’s got on her. I wonder if she’ll use Sol and Mun’s avatar data to make herself a real body, I thought as I looked down at Rainbow, my cheeks becoming a bit warm at the image of Faust slowly revealing her new flesh. “Anyways, I’d like you to do as much as you can for her.” My face hardened as I said, “I found her tied in a cave-”
The neutral smile adorning F.A.U.S.T.’s face slowly drops before starting to point out something we knew. “You found this filly, does she have ANY records at all? Are you even labeled legally as her guardian? Has there been medical checks at LEAST for what her allergies, genetic condition, or even citizen register upon her description?” She seemed to fire off each one like a trigger upon contained frustration. “By appearances she HAS seen a doctor, what records does he or she have from that?” Finishing in a more exasperated tone looking at me pointedly.
“... As I was saying; she was surrounded by dead foals and tied to a stalagmite,” I continued as Celestia teleported Rainbow’s file to my hand. “I had to sign only one paper to get full legal custody of her. She has no allergies, unless you count an aversion to unicorns as one. No genetic conditions, though she has a bigger mana font than the average unicorn. Besides her mane -- which normally would be rare -- she’s the only pegasus that anyone has seen in the last five hundred years so there’s no way someone would be able to foalnap her; I’d kill them as soon as they touched her.” I held out the folder for F.A.U.S.T. to scan.
Receiving the data from the documents as they were digistructed out of my hand only to appear in her’s to be scanned from paper to digital most likely as it was returned. “You went through the legal hoops to become a citizen, were checked to be stable to allow adoption let alone left care of a foal by them? If so with little or no resistance we would say thou art fortuitous.” Seeming to do some notes before looking back at me. “Speaking of such things as ‘legal boundaries’ you accept any medical treatment done by Hyperion will rest solely on the caretaker of said patient and the company not held liable for effects from treatment?”
“Yeah, there’s a law here that basically states if someone throws or casts away something, anyone can lay claim to that object, whether it’s physical or someone’s life. There are sub-laws dictating the extent of it, but I don’t have them memorized.” I said, “I just had to become a citizen to have the law come into effect.
“I do, but only if the side effects are minor, not visible, and not life-threatening.”
The response first was a simple flat, if not beautiful neutral look, something that likely screamed ‘it is either all or nothing’ type of approach. “When we stated that, it is not to be taken lightly. A simple but clearly stated ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’ will suffice, as with many things it can be cut smoothly to expose what is below or jagged leaving marred trails from indecisiveness.” Faust’s tone was authoritative that swung through the air as one would from a leader, not giving me room to wiggle like she was holding me down with her words to decide.
I frowned, not liking that I had been backed into a corner. “Okay, I’ll take full responsibility for what happens.”
There was an awkward silence for a few moments, as if she was gauging my response and those around me as well. “Would the Royalty you live under ALSO accept the possible outcomes due to a as stated endangered pegasus tribe member? As a side benefit, if the procedure is successful. A injection of a genetic altering nature may be produced that could alter a pony to be genetically similar if having the same side effects or variation to repopulate, though the results due to only one gender sampling would make males volatile.” She still somehow spoke in that sexy voice of grace if not power, maybe she’s a very ‘experienced’ robot alicorn?
“As Max has stated, the law gives her the power to raise Rainbow how ever she wishes. Including how injuries are taken care of,” Celestia said, taking an ashamed stance as she continued. “Pegasi had broken the pact that founded Equestria when I raised my war hammer against Luna and would most likely not be welcome.”
The hologram showing Faust gives a mock raising of the eyebrow upon her face, giving a narrowing of the irises. “Then would they not wish exile upon said patient or even her own death be warranted? Unless that is IF harmony and it’s teachings of peace and acceptance do not exist here..” There was a predatory look in that stare down, before I noticed her gaze shift down softening upon Rainbow Dash.
“Given that I am her guardian and ‘Tia’s lover -- not to mention stupidly powerful -- they’ll accept her or move to another country. But yeah, Pegasi would not be welcome in most places; not attacked, but they would be barely tolerated,” I admitted. “What’s the total come to if I add an order of enough rounds for three hundred clips for the rifle?”
A sigh escapes that anthro robotic muzzle, moving a hand onto her face giving a first anthro face muzzle. “The correct term would be Magazine, for the rifle ‘Crimson Invader’ has fifteen shots per magazine, times that by three hundred? That would total to four thousand five hundred bullets minus the fifteen already from a pre loaded mag.” She stated showing the numbers for that and gun purchase separate from the medical ones currently. “The total combined would be 268,374 Bits or value equivalent exchange of raw materials.” the rifle alone was close to fifty thousand bits, and she talked about that amount of bits like they didn’t mean much if anything a tiny blip from a business tone that has seen more wealth.
Shaking my head, I said, “No, I want it all toge-” I doubled over, clutching my head as it was filled with pain.
Pained howls greeted him when he awoke, driving his headache to be even worse than when he had passed out. After being blasted away by that meteor he had broken nearly every bone in his body and had been stabbed by at least twenty branches when he ground to a halt in front of a cave.
A hoof pushed him down when he tried to get up and a voice said, “Peace, Commander, you’re among allies.”
“Where am I?” he croaked out.
“The lair of the Goddess of the Wheat Harvest, though she isn’t cooperating right now.” A mare was helping him. A candle was lit nearby, revealing that the mare was a pegasus with a yellow coat and an orange and yellow mane. Her cutie mark was a lightning bolt coming out of a fire.
“How long have I been-” a wave of coughs interrupted him.
“You’ve been imprisoned in stone for close to fifteen hundred years, and have spent the past two days unconscious,” the mare said as she gave him a glass of water.
Once he got his breath under control the stallion said in a hate and spite-filled voice, “I won’t stay in this cave more than a week, and that’s only because I’m in a bad way. Those damn nags will die by my hooves for this. They’ll regret the day their mothers mated with another species. I, Commander Hurricane, swear it.”
When I regained consciousness I was lying on a soft body, a filly and two wings covering me. I could hear Sol berating someone and Mun trying to -- barely -- get her to stop. Once the wings -- which had to be Celestia’s -- moved to let me up, I held Rainbow and stood. The sight I was greeted with was Sol shaking a hoof at the hologram, which had barely restrained anger hidden behind a neutral face.
“Sol, don’t make her angrier,” I said in a shaky voice.
Turning to me, Sol said, “But she-”
“Didn’t do anything to me,” I interrupted. “Back off.” What was that? Did the future change?
“What happened?” Celestia asked.
I took a breath, steadying myself for the moment. “I-I don’t know. I’ll tell you later.”
I looked back at Faust and said, “I apologise for Zenith Sol’s behavior; she and her twin are... overly protective of me. Anyways, I don’t want more than one receipt.”
Who is the-.... HOLO IS REAL HERE!? My eyes widened in shock. I-I- Wait! She’ll need help escaping. I think I could spring for a shield for her. Celestia had taken Rainbow from me and filled the vials while I was distracted apparently, as I caught the tail end of the digistruction when I focused back on the hologram.
The view showed the robotic alicorn receiving the blood samples and having one be analyzed and the other for some sort of ‘control sample’ to compare with I think, though the next thing she said drew a look. “We would have to receive the patient and deal treatment depending on the outcomes of test results that would occur, once the safest and most health inducing treatment is formulated, we would confer again upon completion.” She broached this topic it seemed in a careful manner. “It would require us to have her in our care until it is completed, if a non vital individual would wish to observe her care while here we would allow that, so long as treatment isn’t hampered.”
Also it looked like another one EXACTLY like her came into view, wearing what looked like a sexy nurse outfit… “The placement for all this would be done upon the Lunar facility as it is one of THE most secure Hyperion installations in our universe..” The first Faust smiled at me in a knowing fashion for the second one giving a wink before getting out of view with a distinct heel sound getting dimmer, was she intentionally doing that to get me excited?
.... Either way, it was working.I really don’t want her out of my sight for more than a few hours... I seriously hope that I don’t miss anything here, though, with that thought I said, “I’m the only one that would be able to that I trust implicitly.” Plus- wait, no, pregnant. Damn this is going to be hard....
She gave a look than I noticed her eyes trail down a bit gesturing to the belly. “Even as thou carry for two?” She gave a possible genuine smile at that bit of pregnancy, did she even see that in the scan? As faust seemed to wait for what may have happened next while gazing momentarily towards Celestia.
Wait.... ‘carry for two’? does she- “You mean I’m going to have TWINS!?” I shouted.
“The doctor only mentioned one foal! Do you mean that his scan missed the third magic signature?” Celestia demanded.
“YOU’RE PREGNANT!?” Sol and Mun yelled.
The hologram of Faust meanwhile seemed to be idly checking her nails, giving a look before smiling softly as she spoke in a tone of pride. “We would say our technology is rather more efficient and providing deep layered results that can be compiled into a 3D image in less than a minute’s time after data collection.” Before staring at Celestia, gesturing to Me.
“So you ca-” I turned back to face the pink alicorn. “Third magic signature?”
Celestia nodded. “Your powers are magic in the same way Luna and I use magic to move the sun and moon, but more... fey and eldritch. Aside from that, it’s just like magic.”
The token meanwhile beeped as Faust drew attention back to her. “How shall we discuss payment to be rendered?” She gave a calculated look as her form sat down in a now present computer chair, giving an exaggerated shrug before fluttering robotic wings relaxed. still looking towards Celestia, likely viewing her as the one likely to pay for all of this. With a odd look in her eyes before giving a side comment. “We are curious why thou would be of pink coat instead of white like our eldest daughter, though tis likely another factor in differences of the multiverse or one had suffered a prank.”
“Luna had tried pranking me, but I had the last laugh; she used to be grey,” Celestia said with a smirk.
Pulling out my little calculator-bank... thing, I said, “I’ll pay for everything once Rainbow is healed. That way if anything is broken by Dash or I, I’ll be paying for that as well.”
She raised a brow in response, until out of nowhere a high quality page appeared with the title on it reading as ‘Hyperion Transaction Standard Contract Agreement’, that gave off a faint glow with the bottom of the page having two signing areas for the primary and co signer. “The page before thy eyes, is one of our contracts. Due to the business nature involved since payment is NOT offered upfront, this must be signed so that thou art bound to fulfil the required payment by one method or another. Since thou graciously added willingness to pay damages that may incur we have included that to the record, once all things are fulfilled it will simply be a harmless page.” Faust stated in a showy manner even having the page before our eyes twirl until ready to be read over, it literally covered even the excuses of unable to be paid, like death, coma, other worldly dimensional horrors.
I looked through the contract, trying to find anyway that they could take more than what I owed. If there were any, I couldn’t find them. Is- oh, that is laughable; there was a clause that said there would be fines if the payment was late! Chuckling, I signed it and said, “You’ll get the money before I leave. I do my absolute best to keep my word.”
The said robotic alicorn smiled genuinely before stating this with her brow raised still. “Thou would be surprised how much value one’s word has when it is confirmed, though do note our fines if not kept can cause collateral damage until payment is rendered.” She spoke in a vague tone still smiling in that sexy almost scary, look in her eyes? They are fucking glowing with razor rows of teeth glinting like a shark that are rotating in a agonizingly slow manner while her tongue licked some of them sensuously.
“.... That might be for some people, but not me. I’ll make sure to pay.”
“Please Commander, let me go instead. I don’t trust that machine at all,” Sol said, Mun nodding in agreement.
“I think I’ll go find Nightwing now,” Celestia said as she trotted away. I heard her break into a gallop once she was out of sight.
From hearing that the robotic alicorn moved away a bit from the view that her head had taken up for that point, with even a click seeing those rows of teeth hide behind the front most herbivore kind. Her ‘eyes’ more of a normal tone than glowing fury and malicious, to pleasant warm and loving as a milf next door would have. “That is a good thing to hear, because continued business is always a plus in our opinion as we learned from our human, Jack. Though do be smart and NOT inform him of ‘that’ method we use to acquire late payments, he is focusing himself on projects and information gathering.”
I gave a knowing smile and said, “I won’t. Now how about getting Rainbow and I over there?”
A simple motion closer by this robot to stand at the token in question. “There may be some ‘oddities’ to occur once crossing over, thou will likely see the filly in question to ‘adapt’ or change while the same condition to be what thou see’s of us.” She gestured to her own figure than to rainbow dash, to get the point she might change into a anthro while there… “Also thou should have the token secure in a large room, to prevent theft as Hyperion has no qualms about trading to any individual so long as payment is rendered.”
Stepping closer, I picked up Rainbow. “That might be cool to see.”
“I’ll request for this to go in Discord’s vault,” Sol said before taking off.
Digistruction -- I learned the proper term later -- is an interesting and slightly terrifying form of travel. I watched as a beam shot out towards us and surrounded us with a grid that slowly reached towards me. Lines of pain shot through me where the light touched, cutting me into cubes. Once it stopped the beam pulsed and a cube of my scalp disappeared, sending more pain through me. Another pulse, another agonizing head-cube disappeared. The next minute or two was spent with the beam picking up speed and once Rainbow and I were nothing but data, we were pulled into the token and sent across the Void to a specific universe.
But for what may have been half a moment everything ‘stopped’ as i felt ‘whole’ but in a dark place, Rainbow Dash wasn’t in my arms but something else was here. There was movement all around even dripping, with just enough whatever light was coming through to see. Showing a mass of black shining tentacles in this place as glowing purple eyes of different shapes, sizes and twisted glee shown on them. “We are most PLEASED thou would be coming to visit our little human, through his ‘token’..” The voice spoke in a whisper that clearly was heard, it felt grating as if something was pricking needles against my brain.
Fuck, it’s Cthulhu! I thought, staring in horror. He said ‘our little human’.... He’s the one that sent Jack to his universe. “You... aren’t going to do something to me?”
There was a slight chuckle that felt like another stab of a needle, especially when looking at any of the eyes around this ‘room’. “We only wish to pass on a simple message to our human, nothing that would directly involve thou because of that.” A black inky thin like a tree branch wrapped around my waist, the feeling washed over me as these next words were said in careful spacing ingraining the message for Jack to get. “Prepare for unforeseen consequences…”
In that moment it was spoken, the emptiness was gone, there was fire and lava everywhere, gazing up at the sky showed a MASSIVE whirling hole with cracks spreading out from the sky around it with little black spots dropping from it. But a loud sound of something colossal, bigger than a fully grown land dragon moved, when it reared it’s head blocking my view, another sound turning out to be a small group of not quite clear images of different humans standing defiantly in closer range. With a livid armored anthro Celestia, Luna and a scarred and bleeding Discord in the background to some chaotically blown open entrance holding his stumped talon arm at the wrist baring his teeth at something in MY direction below the monster.
As next to me a Laughing woman with styled red hair with glowing purple eyes with matching tattoos held shark like teeth gave out a great ‘cheer’ in mock while holding a pair of roughly severed hands said this. “Why even the multiversal human rescue committee has come help out this Equestria’s ponies and gimped chaos spawn, what? Did you finally come to try and take our new human toy?” Waving a severed human hand up towards the towering beast of strange blackened rock, white fire and glowing purple energy in question to see Handsome Jack, Half of his forearms and his lower legs were AMPUTATED! Bound onto the chest of this Monster that held glowing purple eyes while jack’s exposed broken face showed an equally broken man lacking any literal color.
I stared in awe for a few seconds before I said, “That is epic and scary to look at....”
The colossal monster gave a look down at the redhead next to me as if bored of what’s happening before it’s gaze drifted onto her saying this. “How long are you going to keep those?” As if to answer that question she ATE the hands, to which the Discord that was there to visibly flinch rubbing his taloned stump. “At least we can begin by ‘mopping’ up these displaced humans, before sending them back when corrupted to expand the Architect’s Influence.” The massive creature stated with a clawed forearm before unleashing a mouth blast.
With that I felt myself being sucked away, back into the Void to continue my journey.
When I arrive with a more anthro Rainbow in my arms I get a whiff of chemical cleaner, not unlike a hospital. Right in front of me is Faust -- the one in the sexy nurse outfit -- holding out her arms for Rainbow Dash.
I hand her over, noting that she was indeed anthropomorphic, and said, “That was... eventfu-” I scream in pain as liquid floods down my legs, clutching my now distended stomach.
What?! What’s happening, why am I so round? I think as another Faust arrives with a gurney, trying to tell me something I don’t understand through the pain. Giving up, she lifts me onto the rolling bed and pushes me through hallway after endless hallway, pain shooting through my abdomen all the while. I... think I blacked out there, because the next thing I knew I heard someone say, “It’s another filly!”
Then that someone set two bundles in my arms and said, “Two beautiful Fillies.” The voice held a strong strong southern accent that I could clearly understand. “Now you go and rest now, as I have some volatile subjects to treat for other issues.” A walking was heard as looking in his direction showed a White painted robot with mostly black cable mane with some side grey ones, with a obvious medical mask one. Is that blood also on his doctor’s gown?!
Opening the door leading out of my room he turns back with vibrant green robotic eyes and points at me with a medical mask covering the lower half of his face. “You stay in that bed you hear me missy?” Only at the tail end to head someone ELSE yell out from barely heard tones of someone crazy saying something about being starving and wanting to eat my babies!?! “Don’t mind that, dealing with Psycho driven ponies is a in progress treatment to try and make them sane again, Eridium Fallout areas caused that bit of medical mess.” He gave a wave of the hand before giving a wave goodbye, likely to deal with whoever that was.
Though it was around this time that a black starry smoke pushed open that very same door to the room, condensing into a two legged healthy anthro female wearing a lovely gown that went down just to her knees with slitted eyes baring pointed teeth looking at me, before suddenly cooing at my babies.. “They are simply adorable, if only we could see how the foals for thy species are like! we hope they are THIS adorable!” Presenting them both showing one to be a unicorn and the other an alicorn.
The unicorn had an dark, almost burnt, orange coat and the beginnings of a dark purple mane and tail. As I looked at her, her eyes opened revealing honey gold irises that melted my heart. Reluctantly, I turned my head to look at my other foal. Her eyes were open as well, deep blue eyes looking into my own. She had a light blue coat and her mane and tail were red and white.
We laid there staring at each other for what seemed like hours, mesmerized by what we saw. “I-I.... I’m... a-” I got out before I was overcome by emotion, holding them closer.
The door opened to the room, a man with a styled full head of brown hair going back with one part a bit greyed walked in. While a fake sort of mask was latched onto his face with a blue and green mixed eyes that moved to see me. His mask likely a lighter shade to his tanned skin tone, while he looked moderately healthy shape in his darker grey coat with a yellow undershirt shown in it’s openness while he wore jeans and shoes to match his outfit with some weird gizmos on his coat and belt, even his wrist. “It’s taken me some time to clear my schedule but I came as soon as I heard, void travel can be so unpredicta-” Jack -- by my guess -- was cut off by the black coated alicorn who was showing me, my babies.
“Thou and US, our handsome human. Right NOW, we do not care anymore about thy apprehension towards fucking outside thy species. for we want thy foals in us, NOW!” With a pop they both vanished with both foals looking that way then back at me.
Oh HELL no! I thought as I rewound time to before the black alicorn teleported away. Smacking her up side the head I said, “I’ll not tolerate that language around my foals!”
Said anthro alicorn blinked, turning her head slowly towards me as those slitted teal eyes narrowed. Her teeth gritted once giving a held back venomous tone. “Touch us again and we’ll be adopting them, but we WILL respect Our ‘language’ around them..”
She gave Jack a look as if having included him but he shrugged once. “Hey I know how to keep my mouth clean around kids, Orphanage raised remember?” He said pointing at himself, as if to make that statement clearer only for the black alicorn to push his face into her chest tightly as he flailed before grabbing her tail getting her to go ridged before she started to release his head.
Her smile grew lecherous and a lick of her lip added before speaking. “We am glad thou are WISHING that our handsome Jack...” She purred that out only for him to sigh and give me a look than back to her as the sight of bedroom eyes were full blown from the mare, looking right at jack.
“At least wait until you’re out of the room to begin that, sheesh,” I said jokingly to Jack, rolling my eyes. I then remembered what that being said. “Oh, some... thing told me to tell you to ‘Prepare for unforeseen consequences’ or something like that.”
Jack’s eyes grew wider as if recognizing that phrase from somewhere but just as he was about to ask, did said alicorn holding him teleport the two of them away. leaving myself, my two foals and Faust? As the one wearing the business suit sat patiently having no presence until her eyes started glowing in a red and chaotic fashion. “Tis a pleasure to see thou in the ‘flesh’ as it were, though we should note thou should try not to be in any pregnancy cycle while waylaid in the void whilst coming...” She smiled in that warm comforting sense looking over at my fillies.
I smiled down at the bundles in my lap. “I didn’t plan to meet whatever that was.” I leaned down, kissing both on the tips of their stubby little horns before saying,, “You’ll need names. How about... Golden Spark and... Light Sweet?”
