A group of ponies and glowing human figures stood around the hospital bed that Octavia Melody was laying in, a newborn foal in her arms. A skeletal figure in a black cloak stood by the wall with a man in a white coat and a woman that was all blue and had her hair in a ponytail.

It had almost been a year since Symbols supposed death and now his child had been brought into the world. The foal in Octavia's arms had pink fur, it's mane was a light purple with a stripe of white at the edge and was curled to look like cotton candy. The little filly's eyes were light purple and her pupils were swirls. "Beautiful, isn't she?" Octavia asked to everyone in the room, getting a nod from everyone.

A few displaced walked into the room, they were a Mecha Sonic, Metal Sonic, Slenderwoman, a humanised Auldin with two young children and a Bill Cipher. The Slenderwoman walked over and knelt down beside the bed.

"So this is Symbols daughter, she's adorable." She tickled the newborn with one of her tendrils.

"Thank you Lisa, and again, thank you for the magnificent baby shower you threw me a few weeks ago." Lisa just nodded and walked away from the bed, allowing Bill and the rest to come and say their piece. The filly giggled as the Mecha Sonic and Metal Sonic pushed each other to get a look at her.

Suddenly time stopped around the filly and everyone in the room froze except for her. She looked around at the now white room and heard footsteps coming from the hallway. She suddenly felt herself being picked up out of her mother's arms and being carried over to a chair where the one carrying her sat down and cradled her.

Symbol stared at her, looking over to make sure she was healthy. "Well now, ain't that something?" He noticed her eyes. "Well, at least that makes you unique." He tickled his daughter and she playfully batted her hooves at his hand, causing him to smile. He looked around the room and saw all of his old friends. "So, it looks like Gale and Lisa have gotten together." He looked over to a golden glowing human that looked like him. "I see Posit is still around then." His sights fell onto Twilight and Octavia. "It's good to see they've moved on."

Looking back to the filly in his arms he saw her looking at him with curious eyes. While looking at her he began to tear up and held her close.

"I'm sorry little one, but I won't be able to be around for some time. I know you can't understand me but, you be a good girl for your mother, don't let hate rule you like it once did me." He felt her place a hoof on his chest. "Be safe, you don't know it yet but you're destined for great things young one." He kissed her forehead before walking back over to Octavia and setting the filly back in her arms. "Goodbye my daughter, I will see you again someday." As he was walking out of the room he stopped and stared at the man in the white coat. "One day, I'll meet you personally...father." With that he walked out of the room and let time return to normal.

Everyone in the room all stopped and looked around, feeling the familiar presence. The man in the white coat and the skeleton looked to each other and nodded, disappearing.

Ashley's POV

“BURN IN HELL MOTHER FUCKERS!” I waved my hand in front of me and flames swept the battlefield, scorching anything they touched. The timberwolves were caught off guard by my surprise attack, but not for long. They ran to my location and began to circle around me, growling the whole time.

“So that’s how it’s going to be huh?”

‘Don’t get too confident. You don’t exactly have the best control over your powers yet.’

“Then why is my fire not spreading to the ponies houses?”

‘Because I’m making sure it doesn’t. If it weren’t for me, the entire town would be burning down in a blaze of glory right now.’ I blushed and smiled sheepishly, while also rubbing the back of my head.

“That bad huh?”

‘Yes it would have been but right now you need to focus. Watch out!’ I barely managed to dodge an oncoming timberwolf that was racing towards me at high speeds. I leaned back and it leaped over me. I turned toward it with a lare. “Attack someone while their defence is down? Not cool!”

Throwing my arms out in front of me I shot fire at the wooden beast. It turned to ashes, consumed by the flames. The other timberwolves seemed to noticed that I control a huge weakness of theirs because they took more defensive stances.

“Come at me timbers!” Hearing the challenge, a few timberwolves dived at me all at once. I shot fire at each of them, leaving them as nothing more than smoldering piles of dust. I looked at the remaining timberwolves and smirked. “What? The rest of you want some?”

The timberwolves, being smarter than they seem, decided to retreat for now, and scampered off whining into the Everfree Forest. I sighed in relief.

“Man, glad that’s over.”

‘That may be true but we’ve still got company.’ I turned to see Twilight and her friends slowly approaching, as if every move they made was going to make me turn the fire that just saved their butts on them.

“Oh, great." I cancelled out my powers and turned towards them, the fire disappearing. "Uh, Abi? I could use a little assistance please."

'Sorry but after keeping your powers under control I feel a little worn out, I'll need a while before I can regain my strength. Good luck to you.' The voice in my head went quiet.

The group was now in front of me, all giving me cautious looks. Twilight cleared her throat and looked me in they eye. "Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle, would it be ok if we asked you a few questions?" Well...that was certainly not what I was expecting, I thought that she'd just ask what in the wide world of Gaia I was, but apparently I was wrong.

"Um...sure. I'm Ashley by the way." They group nodded and began leading me towards the Golden Oaks Library. 'Symbol, hurry it up with whatever you're doing.' Twilight held the door open for me and I walked inside.

"Please take a seat over there, I just need to talk to my friends for a second." I nodded and did as I was told. They all began whispering and arguing, up until Fluttershy stopped an argument between Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Fluttershy just looked to me and smiled, she then walked up to me and started looking me over.

"I've never seen an animal like you before, what exactly are you?" She asked with adorable curiosity.

"Oh I'm not an animal, I'm what's known as a human." Fluttershy nodded and sat beside me, which caught me off guard as she did just witness me burn a horde of timberwolves like it was nothing.

"Well could you tell me a few things about your species?" She gave me the most adorable puppy-dog eyes ever, probably giving me type 2 diabetes in the process.

"Um, sure. What do you want to know?"

"Everything."

I just looked at her uncomfortably. "My friend should be in the area later, he probably has more information on this kinda stuff."

"Oh a friend, is he your mate?" This innocent comment caused me to blush furiously.

"N-No, we're just friends."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I make you uncomfortable?" She asked with a worried tone.

"It's fine, you were just curious." I scratched behind her ears and she melted right in my hands...not literally of course, a figure of speech. Smiling at me she jumped off the couch and Twilight walked up to me.

“Well, would you mind telling us what you do know?”

“Sure um… my species lives on a planet called earth, and humanity is the dominate species on earth.” The girls waited for me to continue, but that’s all I had.

“Wait… that’s it?”

“Well not there’s more but… science wasn’t really my thing. How about you ask me some questions and I’ll be able to bring up a bit more information.” Twilight nodded.

“Okay first question, are you an alien?”

“Um, that’s kind of obvious isn’t it?” Twilight was about to say more, but Rainbow Dash interrupted her.

“Wait you’re an alien? Cool! Do you have a spaceship and stuff? Did you land here as part of some sort of exploring mission or did you crash land here and now you need stuff to repair your ship?”

“Um, no to all of that. I was brought here through a portal that was created by my friend. I’m now considered a displaced, which is when someone from my world gets sent to their own version of Equestria as someone or something they cosplayed as.”

“Another Equestria?”

“Correct Twilight. Have you all ever heard of the multiverse theory?” Twilight nodded, but the others shook their heads. “Okay well the multiverse theory states that each and every decision you make, creates another universe that chose the other option. For instance, say for breakfast you could either have pancakes, or waffles. If you chose pancakes, then another universe is created and in that one, you chose waffles. You get it?” They all nodded.

“So wait, the multiverse theory is true?”

“Yep. Though, it can get very confusing.”

“How so?”

“Well, these decisions could have also been made in the past. For instance, one universe, like this one, has mostly magic. Another universe could have mostly technology, or technology growing right alongside magic. Does that sum it up for you?” They all nodded.

Just then we heard something come from outside. We all walked out of the library and saw a portal had appeared. Symbol walked out of the portal with shadows over his eyes.

"Hey Symbol..." As I looked at him I saw a single tear drop rolling down his cheek, "...what's wrong?" His lips curved into a small smile and he looked at me with teary eyes.

"I'm a dad now." He said with joy and also a bit of sorrow. Just then I felt Abi starting to stir, she disconnected from my body and formed back to her pony self. This caused the groups eyes to widen.

"So did you also check up on that other foal that was supposed to be born?" He nodded.

"Yeah, the other was a unicorn filly named Gail." I just stared at Symbol, beyond confused.

“What other foal? Who are you guys talking about?” Symbol just shook his head.

“I’ll tell you later. It's more of a personal matter than anything." Looking at him with suspicion I nodded. "So, I take it you've already introduced yourself to these ponies and told them what you are?" I nodded. "Good, then all that is left is finding a place to stay. I can build us a house but it'll take a few hours, I suggest you get used to the area while I'm building." He gave a sorrowful glance at Twilight then teleported away, leaving Abi with us.

"Does he have to be so mysterious?" I asked the symbiote.

"He has his reasons, he won't tell me them but I know they are justified." She answered before turning to the mane six. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Abi, a symbiote pony. Our other human friend who was just here is called Symbol, he's the one that brought Ashley to this world."

Twilight just had a smile on her face. "Does that mean that he can travel to other worlds?" She asked with glee.

Abi just facehoofed. "Oh boy, here we go."

Author's Notes:

I'd like you to welcome my good friend Prince_Zodiac to the project, we have crossed over many times before and he will now be co-writing the story.

Also, the prologue has been redone to a more manageable and lesser clichéd standard.
