Previous Chapter Next ChapterEmerl's pov
I managed to escape the potential psychopath before he notice my body can not be affected by his causal chaos magic aka the magic snaps. In life, people who enter that world should know that an interest Discord tends to be a annoying Discord. Anyway, I notice that my surrounding is a city in broad daylight filled with trees, cars, and the works that remind me of that one sonic game in the early modern days.
Oh well, it will come to mind later. I seemed to lack a pair of Alicorns at the moment and I do not sense them anywhere nearby. My options are that something screwed up with the teleport and the alicorns are somewhere around this planet meeting sonic characters or Harmony is screwing with me and probably recording any mistakes I will make. I checked all my manipulation capabilities to find only wind, earth, and fire, are usable at the moment. Either way, this is a rare chance to explore in a nice city so I'll play this.
I activated board mode and began browsing through the area with a freestyle. It was a enjoyable experience performing speed runs as I performed some wire grinds, drafts, wind boost thru any obstacle, and air-tricks. I notice some robots (approximately 10) during my speed runs and decided to quit board mode had some fun. Using my Earth pony and Pegasus skills, I quickly home into one and stomp on the little bastard and continued onto two more. The rest tried to barricade me from going through, yet the poor bastards were hit by my wind bursts and flew through the air. The rest of journey was easy as I plow through robots with my fists, kicks, finger bullets, and just for shits an intense sonic boom to knock most of the bots to oblivion. The entire event lasted 5 mins and I’ve caused massive property damage.
I felt like jogging through the rest of my journey until I heard a truck horn. It made me realize that Harmony has brought the truckinator and shit got real. I began running at top speed as the demon truck chase after my ass with little difficulty of catching up. Time to turn up the heat as I channel a lot of wind to boost at least enough to the amount of speed sonic would need to escape this bastard and it was still closing in on me. I have decided to outmaneuver it by turning in small directions that a truck shouldn't be able to go through. Usually if sonic goes through a obstacle that the truck wouldn't be able to enter it will crash and the chase ends. However, Harmony must really be pissed if she made the truck plow through the building as if it was a cardboard and made it dangerously close to me.
Having enough of this bullshit I flew up into the air and knew that bastard couldn't be able to reach me. I knew I shouldn't tempt fate, but my early victory gave me the chance to flip the double bird to the metallic demon and called it's mom a recycled minivan. That just brings great bullshit as the truck transformed to a giant robot and flew after me. I tried to shoot the bastard with my guns, yet like the stupid parts of my life it bounced off. The robot began shooting lasers, beams, and cannons which I was lucky to avoid most of the attacks except the lasers as they are small sucker punches as it hits you in the last minute.
The only option is this drill technique which only requires my will to unleash it. I have decided to go at his sensory and used my ground manipulation to shove mud from my body into his sensors. Then, I jumped off and focused a sum of my strength into my jetpack to reach a good distance(approximately 2 miles). After a min, he cleared the mud and restarted the chase with more fury. Meanwhile, I was focusing most of my remaining strength into my jetpack as I spin around similar to a drill. I began a chant:
“By the power of my horn I shall sentence you back to the metallic hell that you belong.”
At the close distance of say 4 yards was enough to fire my ultimate weapon. I launched in quick burst of speed as I try to plow through this bastard's defense, My drill increased in size as I gave a great roar to this defiance:
“This drill shall pierce your cold metallic heart and bring justice upon the sufferings you have given!! As long as I live you shall die!!!! Piercing Heaven Drill rrrrooooaaaar!!!!!” That motivation has given my drill the power to pierce this son of a bitch, yet I felt my vision going black as I fell.
I quickly opened my eyes to realize I was back home or at least Amy's house. I tried to call Harm- 'You rang' I can feel the false innocent you insane bi- 'Oh Emerl I don't know what your talking about, but we have guests so I hope you can hold the usual sibling banter for later.' Great the alicorns are in the house, I wonder what name you gave them. 'Well they're still asleep for a good hour, plus that gives us enough time to make a good meal.' So what do we have for the celestial sisters to enjoy. 'Well we or better you will cook us a delicious apple flavor flapjacks, pink lemon pies, some rari tea, dawn sparkle soda, and butterfly shaped cookies.' Really those pun treats all we're missing is skittles to complete the set and why do I have to cook them if you can poof them up. 'Well sassy it's the simple facts that I am lazy, homemade cooking is better than magical created ones (poor Neptune), and did I mention I was lazy.' Fine I'll cook just make sure if they wake up that you don't corrupt them. 'My little copybot how can you say that to your dear caretaker who nurtured you when you were weak and loved you like family.' I practically rolled my eyes as I enter chef mode and opened my cooking log. 'I will make sure they are taken care. By the way, they arrived in nice and safe.' Why do I have this feeling you did something to them. 'Emerl just make us the meal and let me deal with the royal breeze. Oh yeah don't forget the skittles.' I can feel her eyes beaming through my mind.
3rd Pov
Celestia had faced many challenges in life united the three tribes, help her mentor study spells that travel through time and space, made a treaty with the zebras and griffins with Luna's help, talk down a dragon to a point he surrendered the crystal heart, gained a cutie mark after moving the sun, and beaten a centaur with plans of domination. None of those experience helped when she wakes and find that her body changed to that of a tiny fairy pony. Celestia noticed that Luna was a similar state as they were snuggled together on a tiny bed. She looked around to see many things that seemed futuristic(to her): a giant rectangular box(plasma 72-inch tv ), smaller version and medium sized version of the box(Dell laptop and apple desktop), several furry dolls, and nature based bedroom furniture. She took a moment to admire the simple, yet nice design before she heard clop by the the stairs. Thinking quickly she decided to lay back to her original position near Luna and pretend to sleep to find information about their location and host.
Harmony knew that Celestia is awake the moment she felt Celestia's thoughts about her room. She walked towards the tiny bed and 'investigated' her guests. The lavender mare stared directly at the fairy sun princess with a sweet smile; which the alicorn felt dread when she heard the mare lick her lips. The harmonic entity wanted to see if Celestia can handle pressure from a little game of active magic. A game she tried on Emerl to see if his body will react to her meddling.
'MMM let see if you can endure a 'little' touch celly.' Harmony thought mischievously as channel a bit of magic through her hooves. Celestia felt her body moved by a magic aura as Harmony gently levitated the princess to her bed. Celestia was mentally shocked that a earth pony knows how to easily use unicorn magic without a horn. Celestia still kept her false sleep, yet her body hormones felt strangely aroused for some reason.
'Oh Faust, how is she doing this? Her magic is easily overpowers mines.' Celestia mentally questioned as she struggles to keep her muscles from being overwhelmed by the gentle touch.
'It's a poor shame you can't read my mind, yet I can read yours' Harmony thought knowingly.
'Calm down Celestia you can handle this just let her enjoy her time and maybe she will say something of vital information.’ Celestia self-reasoned which the bigger mare raised her brow.
'Oh you want to be my play toy. What a naughty little mare you are molestia.' Harmony thought mischievously at the sun alicorn’s willing to submit.
Harmony gently place Celestia face down onto her belly and gently began applying magic pressure onto her back to soothe some of the pain in her joints.
'Cellie pull yourself together you can endu...... buck it, I need this' Celestia thought quivering to the sensation as she relaxes in comfort and tranquility on the bed.
'You certainly do sunny. A royal like you will hardly get the time to buck. Though that doesn’t mean I can’t help you embrace some love.' Harmony thought pleasurably.
Before anything can go to 2nd base, Emerl came into the room with large amount of food and paused to stare at the event in front of him. He slowly put the food down, then analyze the situation with his scanner for a good moment of time. In the last second, Emerl took out his hose gun and shot a good amount(say a fountain) of cold water at Harmony who teleported away with Celestia from the blast.
Harmony reappeared with a annoyed look on her face as she teleported Celestia back to the tiny bed and evaporated the water from her room. Emerl decided to avoid mental chat and skip to verbal confrontation.
“What the actual fuck were you about to do,” Emerl asked irritated at the mare’s action. “I thought I asked you not to corrupt them?”
“Well mister killjoy if you had let your scanner finished you would have known that I was providing her a massage.” Harmony calmly replied before crossing her arms. “It wasn't like the sun princess hated it and she needed to embrace the luxury of relaxation. Besides, she was awake the whole time and enjoying a good moment until you rudely interrupted.”
“I interrupted a near rape scene ready to happen Tree Bark!” Emerl exclaimed in anger as he stared at the mare entity. “I never thought someone of your status would rape a virgin especially a control freak one.”
“You can not call it rape if the person doesn't object and judging by her reaction she was ready for her wet cunt to have a nice long smooth tongue fit into it.” Harmony reason with chirpy tone which made Celestia’s fur nearly shade into pink by the declaration.
Emerl pinch his forehead as he brought his fingers in front of Harmony and squirt cold water at her. Harmony hiss at the assault as Emerl quickly grabbed her and took her out of the room. Celestia could hear the mare screamed as Emerl yelled, “I am rinsing that damn mouth” which left Celestia time to formulate a plan.
Celestia was surprised this mare had known she was awake and said mare is connected with the creature that defeated them. The mare seems like a higher command than the creature meaning she is a more dangerous threat. Celestia would need to be careful if she expects to escape this place alive. She check if Luna is awake only to find a smirking moon princess.
“Lulu, how long were you awake' Celestia asked nervously at the her sisters mischief grin.
“I was completely asleep until the creature came sister.” Luna respond confidently as her eyes told an amuse filly inside.
“Then, why are you smirking as if you knew what's going on?” Celestia asked suspiciously.
“Well sister during our sleep I took it upon myself to use our astral form and examine our surrounding.” Luna exclaimed before her lips turned mischievously upwards. “During my search, I saw the moment when you were sweep up your hooves, while the mare have her way with you.”
“It was not like that I was pretending to sleep so I could eavesdrop on any information they will leak by.” Celestia objected with her fur turning red.
“Sure sister and I am a vampony with evil ambition to cause an apocalypse,” Luna scoffed with an rolling her eyes at her siblings denial before giving returning a devilish smile. “I found that your preference for young looking mares rather strange to the traditional of strong stallions, yet who am I to judge your likes.”
“Luna I love stallions it's just that I haven't found the right one.” Celestia said while looking at the ground.
“ Well sister have no fear your modern sister can get you a mate worthy of our name.” Luna boasted with determination in her eyes which could mean hell and trouble for the sun alicorn.
“Oh Luna please don't -” Celestia would continue if Luna's hoof wasn't place in her mouth.
“ I can see it now sister a big dark stallion with a powerful horn to shape the world and wings to soar through the blazing skies. You being swayed by his muscularity as your beauty arouse the primal instinct which you-” Luna was cut off by a hoof to the mouth as Celestia gave her a glare.
“Luna I do not need a strong stallion besides where would a male alicorn be found if we are the only alicorn in existence so far. You know we can't mate with any mortal as they will only leave us heartbroken at the end.” Celestia said in a depressed tone on the last part. Luna felt guilty about realizing their biological flaws and gave her sister a hug.
"Sorry sister I just want you to happy with somepony who wouldn't abuse you, yet still have the personality of someone worth your attention. Though I think you will have a better chance of love than I am" Luna said in a equal tone as she remembers the ponies being more attracted to their sun princess than her.
"Lulu you are a beautiful mare which any stallion would be banished to think otherwise. Anyway how do you think we can escape from this?" Celestia asked returning towards the situation at hand.
Before the siblings could create a plan, the odd duo returned with a grumpy Harmony and relaxed Emerl. The celestial sisters were ready to ask the abnormal pair questions until Emerl brought up food. The princesses took a piece of everything with the favoritism that each princesses preferred: Luna having dawn Sparkle and cookies while Celestia drinking the rari tea and flapjacks. Harmony's punishment had prevented her from grabbing any meals as the guests devoured everything on the plate. When everything is done the princesses had started the Q&As.
“Who and what are you two?” Celestia asked in concern of her kingdom and subjects.
“Well pervy sunbutt if you want me to introduce myself first share the same courtesy and introduce yourself to my friend.” Emerl said as Celestia felt a bit embarrassed for the rude demand.
“Don't worry Emerl just because I was the caretaker before these two were royal doesn't mean I don't know who they are.” Harmony said waving her hoof off, while making the two eye widen at the news. Emerl shrugged as he started to answer Celestia's question.
“I am a robot with particular set skills. These skills were made to kill any foe who dared challenge my authority as a guardian. Those that underestimate these skills found themselves in tartarus with their hope- “ Emerl was cut off by Harmony's introduction as she didn’t like the robot's long winded style and preferred simple.
“Hi my name is Sync Heart or sometimes Tree Bark from jerks like him,” Harmony pointed at Emerl who was annoyed at the interruption. “ I am the caretaker of both the tree and it's current guardian as you know can be a real pain in the flank. Anyway if said flank wants to introduce himself just use your damn name and occupation.”
“You can really kill my mood you know that Tree.” He turned towards the two with a complete change in demeanor. “Back to my intro, my names Emerl the gizoid and I am the guardian for the Tree of Harmony. If you have any questions ask us as long as it doesn't provoke either one of us.” He voiced out lazily.
“Um mister Emerl is it? Do you always have emotional problems?” Luna asked in concern of his mental health.
“Well it's just that I share my most moments with being alone with my caretaker.” Emerl answered with his eyes looking away from her. “Sometimes we can swap maturity when questioning whoever behaves as a child or to keep ourselves sane." Luna sweat dropped by his response as her sister only blinked at their predicament.
'I pity you for that type of existence, yet I can understand the bond.' Luna thought. It gave Luna a smile that these two have shared enough time to forge a sibling bond. As she reflects back to the times she mess with Celestia a bit by changing her sister's mane completely black and wrote sad jester on her side. It shaken the whole castle when Celestia looked at the mirror. The moon alicorn laughed at the reaction after her sister yelled out her name. However, she nearly had a hard time evading when she ran from the blazing alicorn that day. Celestia had some payback by making the moon pink for a whole day, which sparked some sibling rivalry to see who will prevail. Even though it helps pegged each other down a notch, Luna wasn't sure if she could keep her sanity up being stuck in a room with her sister as long as these strange duo have with each other.
“Miss Heart can you explain why our body were altered by magic?” Celestia asked as Harmony raised her eyebrow with amusement in her eyes.
“Easy Sunny Skies your bodies are altered, so we can have a simple conversation without any misunderstandings.” Harmony explained before grabbing the sun alicorn and hugged her lightly. “Besides you two are adorable in your breezy forms.” Celestia grew pink by the recent memory and touched before she was placed back to her smirking sister. Luckily she shocked the thought off and turned to Emerl.
“Emerl you mention being this gizoid and robot what does that entailed?” Celestia questioned the robot’s status and purpose. Luna raised an eyebrow with equal curiosity.
“Being a gizoid is basically a copycat robot that mimic near perfection of attacks or abilities though they do have flaws. Which if you want to know more all your question would be wasted on this.” Emerl warned before he continued his answer. “Now a robot is advanced metallic golem that can think for themselves or at least higher than a mortal creature, though they have flaws to obey what they are purposed for."
"Does all robot have similar sentient as you do ?"
"Normally robots are metallic objects that perform one purpose, so no Sunny most robots are obedient to a fault unless you can count special robots."
"What makes these robots special?" Luna asked while tilting her head in curiosity of the difference.
"They are robots that follow close to a sense of sentinel mindset as me and you, yet they still struggle to fight against their programming or virus infections. There were situations when these robots are mistreated that causes a revolution to happen. As you can guess these robots rely on their discovered will to preserve against the challenge." Emerl boasted which made Harmony eye rolled by the robots silly idea of pure evolution.
It satisfy their current question about these robots. They knew that technology of this magnitude is beyond their current comprehension, yet if ponykind can progress it can hopefully give an understanding to this robot. While Harmony and Emerl mentally converse about Equestria with technology.
'Do you think it'll be wise to give them some technology upgrade' Emerl asked Harmony who shook her head for the idea.
'Na too early and besides ponykind already have a lot of power, I suggest giving the upgrade griffons or some of the other races.' Harmony replied with serious tone. The last thing she need's are ponies finding a way to convert other species like the conversion bureau universes.
'I guess I'll try to help the breezes or a defenseless race if they vowed never to abuse it.' Emerl gave a chuckle to the thought Lilliputians abilities for the breezes. They gave their attention to the sisters’ next question on the matter.
“Can we at least return to our original state, since we are peace with one another, right? ” Luna asked with a smile knowing they aren’t in danger.
“Oh I don't know you guys are so cute I can eat you up,” Harmony glee while hugging them firmly before Emerl gave a deadpan stare at her. “ I guess we can do that as long both of you behave that is.” The duo princess were nearly crushed to death until the larger mare put them down.
Harmony eyes glowed as the celestial sister found themselves back to normal. The sisters felt relief at the moment before Emerl gave a slight cough to direct their focus on next questions. Harmony felt satisfied that she had done good work so far and is ready for the background questions. They direct their attention to her.
"What is your story in this Sync Heart?" Celestia asked which made the Harmonic entity pout at her.
"It is rude to ask a lady on her background, luckily I feel like giving a story.” She scolded playfully before giving a smile. “I was an regular earth pony born from a family of unicorns as you can guess was a sin. Thankfully, my mother persuaded the family to keep me for 11 years." The backstory had a mix of truth and slight deception, but she did felt that would fill their curiosity.
The upcoming part of her story made Harmony's eyes sadden as she stared at a distance and continued. It was abnormal for Emerl to see her sad, since she usually gives a good vibe. However, he was curious about her background and had only known about her behavior and personality. She always allude speaking about her past during training and conversation by talking about other stuff.
"During my fillyhood, I was tormented by younger generations about my lack of horn and magic. The older generation only watched as they kept declaring my existence as a disgrace.” The princesses weren’t entirely shocked since before the windigos the tribes weren’t always ‘nice’ with one another. “At age 15, I left the village to find a calling which was given by this lovely part of nature as it gave me a sense to follow. As I arrive close to the tree it asked in a sense if I wanted a new life. I accepted the deal of caring for the tree and any chosen bearers it would choose." She finished with a sad smile trying to make them think it wasn't that bad.
"Did your family knew that you ran away?" Luna asked with concern and pity at the caretakers predicament.
Harmony gave a false laugh to that question, which gave an eerie sense to the habitant in the room. Emerl had only seen that look when a tall man with no face visit her and called(or energy version of a chat) her about the cruelty of Humanity. It gave Emerl goosebumps when the man( or creature) threaten him with a fate worse than the void if anything happens to her.
"I bet not since last I heard, they perish from their greed for power as a powerful being came across the village and destroyed every trace of it.” She stared at the ground with a bit of guilt and pity as she continued. “I wish they could have changed so their demise could have been avoided. However, it was too late.” She gave a small smile at a memory she had of the place. “I only missed mother since she was the only one who cared before suffering from illness three years after my birth.” The princesses saw hurt in her eyes as they could see that she wasn’t able to continue the story. “Can we avoid chatting more about family it's making me uncomfortable."
The sisters decided to shift their questions to Emerl who was sadden by his partner's past. Harmony suddenly felt a cold touch around her as she stared at her guardian for a moment. Emerl gently wrapped his arms around the mare and was giving her comfort for the misery she suffered. He whispered something to her as she embrace the hug with tears leaking from her eyes. The sisters only watch these duo provide comfort with a smile and held their questions until the duo were ready.
After an hour of tears and getting Harmony some skittles, the strange duo decided to rap the Q&A by asking the sisters to ask only one more question. The sisters thought hard on this question as the strange pair had given only a decent answer and after a long chat Celestia decided to voice it out.
"Why haven't we heard of a guardian for the Tree of Harmony in the past compare to now?"
"Well my mares the tree didn't needed a guardian in the past since hardly anyone noticed the big beauty,” He answered with a happy tone before it went serious. “yet thanks to recent troubles like the windigos and Discord the tree felt that it would have better protection if something guard it.”
They nodded in understanding why they wouldn’t need a guardian, since the hardly any creature would try to invade their home. “I feel that this place wouldn’t even been noticed if Starswirl had never mention it before.” Celestia pointed out which made the robot raised an eyebrow.
“I guess it was a good idea of letting the old stallion to keep his memories after all.” Emerl notified as the sisters stare at him with curiosity on his encounter with Starswirl. “Don’t get me wrong I didn’t confront the guy, but felt he wouldn’t do anything to harm the tree.” Harmony gave a giggle remembering the old stallion shocked expression on her. “By the way, I have a question for you mares." Emerl gave the mares a serious look and asked. "Now girls why should we give the fruits of Harmony to you and who or what will you sacrifice for it?"
Next Chapter: Chapter 4 The Tale of Chaos Greed and describing Harmony Estimated time remaining: 12 Hours, 43 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
Sorry for the long wait it's just that I had some family business and my thoughts were more focus on other things. Anyway, I am wondering if there is any willing editors I can ask to help make this story better or at least suggestion to improve. If you want to accept just send a private mail thank you. Plus, is there any suggestion on revising over my tags. I may have screwed with the Luna and Celestia personalities a bit. I will mostly likely edit all my chapters before moving to chapter 4.
Here is the following things to give better imagery:

Harmony's natural based room:
I rather not use Optimus Prime, yet it's a transformer robot regardless.
I was inspire to use the horn drill from Gurren Lagann:

Added note: If you notice only one sonic character had a problem with her family ways as they were wiped out by a powerful being. If you notice it good as Emerl doesn't know, yet she is not the same person anymore since reincarnation does that.
