The next day, Ashley's POV

Symph, Abi, Symbol and I all stood in the doorway to the cabin looking down at Rainbow Dash, shocked expressions on our faces as she asked us a question. "I wanna join you guys."

Symbol didn't looks so shocked as he did conflicted, looking as if he was thinking deeply about his answer. "You want to join us?" He asked with a raised brow, receiving a nod from the cyan mare.

"Yeah, that's what I said." She replied.

"You do know that we deal with otherworldly creatures and beings of pure darkness right?" Abi asked. "A lot of then at least ten times stronger than what you all fought yesterday."

Rainbow nodded with confidence. "Yeah I know that. Fighting alongside you guys yesterday was really fun, sure the things we were fighting were pretty tuff, but it looks like you guys could really use an eye on the sky. I know you two can fly and all, but I can tell you can't really do that for long periods of time. Plus, I'm the fastest flier in Equestria, I can get to places faster than you guys when your portals can't be used."

"That does seem to happen a lot..." I heard Symph mutter.

"So, what do ya say?" Rainbow asked with hope in her eyes.

I looked to Symbol who excused himself for a moment, walked into his room with some a flask in his hand. When he walked out he threw the now empty flask back into the room and walked back over to Rainbow. "You'll be going up against universe destroying demons, getting involved in a plot line which honestly doesn't make much sense anymore, will most likely have to abandon your hopes and dreams and have to put up with all the random shit that happens to us." He explained with a bored look.

"Sounds like my kinda thing." Rainbow smiled in confidence.

"Fine, you can join us, I'm not taking responsibility for you though. I know what throwing your life away feels like, so go nuts, have fun.." He said simply.

"You don't sound all that happy about this." Rainbow hovered over to Symbol. "Is it something I said?"

"No Rainbow, just some bad memories is all." Symbol replied before taking in a breath and turning to the mare. "If you're going to do this you'll need more tann just your natural abilities, follow me." He said begore opening a portal which he and Rainbow walked into before it closed behind them.

I looked to Symph and Abi who shrugged and began to do their own things, Abi working on my dress while Symph began preparing breakfast for us all, growing multiple limbs lot of his back to multitask.

I sat down in the front room and turned on our recently installed TV and powered up our Nintendo GameCube and began to play Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, a nice little SEGA game that does not get the recognition it deserves.

From the corner of my eye I saw a black tendril placing a cup of tea on the table beside me as I played. "Thanks Symph."

"You're welcome Miss Portgas." The symbiote replied with a happy tone.

"You seem happy." I said as I took a sip of my tea.

"Well, I'm back with my father and aunt, in a few days I'll meet the rest of the Chaos Family, the displaced family we belong to, I don't have to worry about my own Equestria being destroyed anymore and my father seems to not be focusing on his rising levels of insan-" He stopped himself and turned away. "Nevermind, the point is I'm back where I belong."

"You guys keep too much from me and I don't even bother to ask because I know that I'll never get an answer from any of you." I said as I returned to my game.

"Wheres the fun in an adventure if you know everything about it?" Symph asked with a smile.

"It's there and it's less frustrating!" I retorted before completing the level I was on.

Just then a portal appeared and Symbol jumped out of it, followed by Rainbow Dash. Rainbow now wore some pieces of armour, was slightly taller and her wings seemed more...powerful. She had a metal chest piece as well as metal boots on her hooves, the tips of her wings being dark purple,

"Wow, what happened to you?" I asked as I leaned in the back of the couch.

"Symbol took me to this weird place filled with a bunch of different creatures and aliens, even a few other times there! We went to some kinda shady place and bought this stuff from some creepy guy."

I looked to Symbol questionably. "We went to a Black Market in the void." He explained simply.

"Why would you go to the Black Market? Why not go to official licensed shops or whatever the void has?" I asked.

"Ashley, 90% of our displaced family are Multiversal criminals, there are governments in place through the void and we give a huge 'fuck you' to all of them each time we do basically anything in other worlds. I only recently got the governments off my tail, I don't plan on showing my face in a SysAdmin citadel anytime soon." He sighed and gestured to Rainbow. "We bought the senior and enchantments from I guy I know and trust. It'll protect her from most dark magic and light magic attacks and her natural abilities have been powered up by at least 20 fold."

"This is so awesome!" Rainbow exclaimed as she spun in the air. "So, when do we go out on another adventure?"

"When something comes up, no bout there's some random danger or adventure waiting to ruin our day." Taking a breath he took a tip from the tea that Symph hand handed him while he was talking. "Anyway, welcome aboard Dash, try not to die while we're in the void." With that he retreated to his room.

"Well he seems like he's in a bad mood." I said with a raised brow. "Whys he being such a dick all of a sudden?"

Symph walked over and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry about him Miss Portgas, there are just those days where the acts like this. When he was brought back in that body not everything was fixed up in his brain, so he has these days where his personality shifts. It'll be gone by tomorrow, until then expect some hostility and sass."
