[Attention all ponies in Maretropolis City! This is an announcement from The Power Ponies. All ponies within the city are to evacuate the city at once. This is threat level omega. I repeat, all ponies are to evacuate the city at once. This is threat level omega.]

“Dammit, of all the time for this place to be attacked.Why did it have to the day after we finally found Dinky?” Amethyst said as she hopped from building to building. “This is not what I signed up for. Stupid Lance and his stupid ‘always think just because you have, that makes you a hero’ bull crap attitude. If it wasn’t for the fact that Dinky asked me to help, I would’ve convinced Auntie to get us the hell out of here.”

“Then again it’s a little too late to start an evacuation. Especially when that meteor won’t just wipe out the entire city, but also the neighboring towns or cities as well.” Amethyst looked up at the huge rock falling from the sky for a moment, then looked at the briefcase she was given by the Power Ponies. “This weapon that Twilight made for me better work, or so help me I’ll haunt her when I’m dead.”

With a press of a button, Amethyst let go of the briefcase as it flew off a few feet away in front of herself. As it did it split in two and transformed into hoof shape gauntlets. Once the transformation was complete the robotic parts return to Amethyst as they hooked on to her arms. “Let’s see if an attack from my incineration cannon at full power will do the trick.” Amethyst said as she looked at her hooves. “Seeing how we live here for the time being, I can’t just leave without them can I?”

Just as she was about to head off, Amethyst saw something heading past her. From what she could tell it looked like some kind of human wearing a suit of metal armor. “What the hay is that?” she asked as she follow to where the metal being landed. “Hey, you there. Care to explain who you are?”

“So, you’re the pony that Tatusmaki told the hero association about.” said the metal being as it looked at her up and down. “I take you’re here to stop the meteor?”

“You could say that yes.” Amethyst said as she looked at him up and down. “You know if you’re here to help stop the meteor from crashing down on Maretropolis City. Maybe we can team up and see if we can-.”

“I refuse.”

“Huh, but why?”

“I only came to field test my new weapon. The meteor is a perfect target.”

“A test? If that meteor hits, you too will die along with everypony still in Maretropolis City.”

“I will not.”

“What do you mean by that tin can?”
“What you are talking to right now is a remotely-controlled drone. Sorry to disappoint you, but my life’s not at stake here. Also, my name is not tin can. I am Metal Knight.” It said as it heard the sound of the meteor getting closer. “Looks like it’s time to end our little chat.”

“Tsh, useless piece of scrap metal.” Amethyst said, as she rushed off towards a tall build to position herself under the fall rock. “Alright, let’s see if this can-.”

“Firing missiles!” yelled Metal Knight as he fired a barrage of deadly missiles at the meteor.

“Dammit.” Amethyst disengaged her incineration cannon. “I can’t fire with his missiles are in the way.” she said as covered her eyes when the missiles made contact with the meteor. “Dear Celestia! Such destructive power. I hate to be on that guy’s list of villain to kill.” Amethyst was brought out of her train of thought, as she looked up to see the meteor still coming down upon the city.

“Not quite potent enough, eh?”

“Some help that tin can was.” Amethyst said mentally as she scanned the meteor. “33 seconds left until impact. To fire my incineration cannon at full power, I’ll need about five seconds to charge it with my body’s energy. B-But the target is already close. And if I do take it out, what then?” As she was thinking, an image of the meteor destroying Maretropolis appeared in her head. “The meteor may break apart and still cause a disaster. But even before that, will this weapon that the power ponies gave be powerful enough to stop it? Even Metal Knight’s countless missile barrage had no effect. What can I possibly do?”

“First off, you need to calm down.” Amethyst turned around and was surprised to see Maud standing behind her. “I see you’re lost your composure.”

“Maud? What the hell are you doing here?”

“Pinkie Pie called me here to see if I could help.” Maud answered as she looked up at the meteor. “Can’t really do much though seeing how I can’t break something like that.”

“Look not to sound rude or anything, but you might want to get the hell out of here while you still can. Right now we’re dead center to where the meteor is about to fall, and I don’t think I can do much right now.”

“I can tell seeing how you’re second guessing yourself. You’re far too young to be worried about failure. When your back’s up against the wall, just muddle through. The outcome may or may not change, but at least you tried your best.”

“Muddling through is the best huh?” An image of her Aunt appeared in Amethyst’s head as she ripped the jacket she was wearing off. Once she did that, her chest opened up to reveal her own power core. “She’s right. If the outcome will not change,” Amethyst reached and pulled out her core, and placed it onto her arm. “then I how can I dies without giving it a shot?”

“Maud, get down!” Amethyst ordered only for Maud to just look at her with a bored expression on her face.

“I will no longer think about failure or repercussions! I’ll just pour everything I have into one last shot!” With her resolve in check and whatever power she has to offer. Amethyst fired her incineration cannon; along with the power boost from her power core, straight at the meteor falling towards Maretropolis.

“D-DAMMIT! EVEN AT MY FULLEST IT’S NOT EVEN MOVING?!”

“I don’t know if I’m seeing this correctly, but I think you’re stopping the meteor.”

“REALLY!?”

“Oh wait, never mind. It’s still moving, but it kinda moving a little bit slow.” Maud said as she noticed something shining off the corner of her eye.

“YOU IDIOT! WHAT HELL ARE YOU DOING NOW?!”

“There’s a white diamond sitting on the side of the roof we’re standing on.” Maud said as she showed Amethyst the diamond. “This would make a good friend for boulder.”

“I DON’T THINK YOU’LL GET THE CHANCE TO DO THAT SEEING HOW WE’LL BE DEAD SOON!” As Amethyst continue to fire, the roof of the build they were on started to give way. Causing Maud to lose her balance, and dropping the diamond onto the ground. As the diamond rolled behind her, a portal appeared right behind.

“I don’t think that diamond I found was a normal one.” The portal began growing, swirling as it got larger and larger. From it they could hear… voices?

“...I told you I can handle this on my own,” one voice said, clearly feminine and sounding rather peeved.

“And I told you that I’m not letting Kat nag at me for letting you handle it on your own,” replied the other, no doubt belonging to a male.

When the voices got close enough, two humans stepped through. The female was tall and powerful in her appearance, dressed in very light colors that offset her jet black hair, even if it did extend into red. The male, however, didn’t appear to be much, dressed in a simple jacket and jeans with his messy brown hair.

“Okay, we’re in a city. That’s new,” the male said, looking around.

“Just shut up and stick close. Don’t need to be saving your ass,” the female said harshly.

“Language,” he responded, seemingly out of instinct.

“Fuck off.”

“Excuse me, but I think you might want to focus on what’s going on around you.” Maud suggested as she pointed meteor that Amethyst was firing at. “Unless one of you is able to destroy a meteor, which is about the size that will destroy the Maretropolis City along with the neighboring towns and cities. Then I suggest you might want to find some cover.”

They both looked up at the meteor. “Oh, a meteor. How quaint.”

“Hoo boy, that’s biggun’,” the male said, using his hand to block some of the light from his eyes. He looked to the woman. “You wanna take this, or leave it to me?”

“I got this,” she assured him.

“Actually if you two don’t mind I’ll take care of this.” Derpy said as she landed between Amethyst and the three newcomers.

“Auntie? W-what are you doing here?” Amethyst asked as the power in her body fade, causing her to fall to the floor of the roof.

“I’m here to save everypony in this city. That also include you my little muffin..”

“Um, no offense, pony, but there’s no way in hell you can take care of this,” the woman said, shaking her head. “You should leave this to the professionals.”

“Nah, I think I’ll take care of it. You two just get Amethyst and Maud away from here.” Derpy turned her attention back at the meteor. “This will only take a second or two.” Like a bullet being shot out of a gun, Derpy took off into the direction of the falling rock.

“We might want to move out of the way.” Maud suggested.

“To avoid the blood splatter?” the man chuckled.

“Ben! Now is not the time for dark jokes! That pony is gonna get herself killed thinking she can break that meteor!”

“No. For when she breaks the meteor, it’ll break apart. It may not cause a huge explosion, but it’ll still damage the city.” Maud said as she pointed a hoof at Derpy. “Just watch.”

“You’re not gonna fall!” Derpy raised her hoof as it made contact with the meteor. At first nothing happened that is until cracks started to appear on the meteor.

“ON MY HOME!!!” In a blink of an eye shot straight through the meteor like it was nothing to her.

Both humans were absolutely stunned, their jaws hanging low. Though, only the woman’s eyes were bugging out.

“What the fuck?!”
“Woah.”

“Meet Maretropolis City’s hero for fun, m-my aunt, Derpy Hooves.” Amethyst said as she started to shut down.

“She may have destroyed the meteor, but the city is still going to be damage.” Maud said as she looked the falling remains of the meteor hit the surrounding city. “Boulder will have a good time when I tell that their so many new rock friends for him to meet.” The rock pony then turned her attention at Derpy who landed back onto the roof.

“There we go, the meteor is destroyed.” Derpy said as a smile appeared on her face. “For a second there, I thought I was to late to stop it….um are the two humans okay?”

“That. Was. Awesome!” the man cheered after several moments of silence. “That has to be the most epic thing I’ve ever seen! Whoo!” Even with his cheering, the woman still remained in a stunned silence.

“I-It was nothing really.” Derpy said as began to blush. “Um, is your friend okay? She has the same expression that Amethyst had when I smacked that mosquito lady a while back.”

“Hmm?” he looked over at his companion. “Oh yeah, she’s fine. I think you just broke her brain for a bit. She’ll be fine after a while.”

“Speaking of broken, I think your niece needs to be repaired.” Maud said as Derpy rushed over to the broken cyborg pony.

“Amethyst! Are you okay? Say something my little muffin!” Derpy said as she looked at the two humans. “Do any of you know how to fix her?”

“Depends, what’s wrong with her?” ‘Ben’ said, crouching down near the two ponies.

“From what I saw, she used, what I could guess, was her power core to slow the meteor down. That and some of her robotic parts seem to be melted due to the intense heat she gave off.” Maud answered.

“She’s a cyborg?! Oh ho ho, that is so sweet!” He slapped his forehead. “Ack, bad Ben. Focus on the task at hand. Look, I might be able to help her, but you’re gonna have to trust me, ok?”

“I trust you, just please save my niece.”

Ben cracked his knuckles. “Alright, let’s get to fixing!” He lifted up his wrist, tapping the watch there and then sliding his fingers along it, sending a holographic disc above it spinning. He flipped the black panel back and slammed down the little tower that popped out of it. There was a bright green flash before a tiny devil like creature wearing some kind of jumpsuit was standing in his place. “Jury Rig! Fixfixifixfix!” The devil jumped on Amethyst and started pulling out part after part after part.

“Um....how did you just change from a human into a cute little imp?” Derpy asked, as she try to urge herself not to cuddle Ben to death.

The creature completely ignored Derpy, tearing into Amethysts parts. Less than a minute later, he jumped off. “Fixed!” he announced, kicking the cyborg pony in the shin.

Amethyst’s eyes open up as she pulled herself up from the ground. “W-What just happened?”

“Amethyst! You’re okay!” Derpy yelled as she tackled Amethyst back onto the ground.
Jury Rig snickered before being consumed by the green light and restoring to human form. “Woah, sugar rush. Jury Rig always feels like I just took six cups of a hi rev coffee.”

“Okay...not to be rude or anything, but who the hell are you two?” Amethyst asked as she pulled herself from Derpy’s hug.

“Well, I’m Ben and the dumbstruck-ie is my sister, Raven. Say ‘hi’ Raven” No response. “Hold on one second.” He tapped his watch and spoke into it, his voice suddenly amplifying. “HOP TO IT SOLDIER!”

Raven instantly was on her feet. “Sir, yes sir!” A moment passed before she struck Ben in the face, knocking him to the ground.

“Oh gods! Right in the face, woman!”

“Never impersonate a superior again, or I’ll do more than break your pretty little face,” she seethed in anger.

“That wasn’t very nice of you to do that to him.” Derpy said. “Isn’t he your friend?”

“Worse,” Raven said, stretching her hitting wrist. “He’s my brother.”

“How can that be worse? Don’t you two get along like families should do?”

“We’re not, agh, an ordinary family,” Ben said, managing to get to a sitting position. “Ah, man that’s smarts. Dang girl, you scary.”

“You better believe it, lazy ass punk.”

“Hey! I am not a punk! I am a politician! There’s a distinct difference between the two!”

“Not to ruin your little moment, but I think we should leave before my sister and her friends see what you did Derpy.” Maud said as she begun to walk off.

“Where are you going?” Derpy asked.

“Back to my dojo, the fist of the breaking rocks. Seeing how the threat is eliminated, there’s no need for me to stay here any longer. If you need a place to train, my home is outside of the city on top of a mountain.”

“Yeah, we better get going before that self proclaimed hero Lance gets here, and start asking questions.” Amethyst said as she rubbed the back of her neck. “Sometime I just wanna punch that guy in the face for getting us into this hero business crap.”

“We might as well go too,” Raven decided.

“Wait, what?! Why would we do that?” Ben asked, before Raven grabbed the back of his jacket, dragging him along.

“Because we were summoned and we’re gonna make sure everything’s running smoothly so we don’t have to come back. Now move your ass!”

“Ack! Okay! Okay! I’m moving!”

“How about we head over to the house?” Derpy suggested. “Amethyst can cook you two something to eat, and you can spend the night until you have to leave.”

“Food!” Ben cheered.

“Shelter and provisions will do us well. Thank you, ma’am,” Raven montoned.

“Don’t mention it, it’s the least I can do seeing how your brother saved my little muffin.”

“I really wish you stop calling me that.” Amethyst said.

“Will you be nicer to Lance then?”

“.........”

“Thought so, now come along we have dinner to prepare for our guest.” Derpy said as she flew off.

“Just follow us and we’ll lead you to where we live.” Amethyst said as she followed after her Aunt.

“What do you think?” Raven asked her brother.

Ben shrugged. “Might as well, I guess. This place ain’t as bad as some of the other worlds. So, geronimo.”

“I thought you’d say that,” Raven said with a smile, the two of them following after the ponies.

[Apartment]

“Welcome to the Hooves home!” Derpy said as she lead Raven and Ben into their home. “Make yourselves at home. We have TV, internet, games, etc, etc.”

“You have internet?!” both humans asked at once, that for some reason being what they were drawn to.

“Well yeah we do live in an advanced city after all.” Amethyst said as she hopped onto the couch, and turn the TV on. “I have to say, this place is better than back home before we got displaced.”

“Wait a second,” Raven said, stopping in her tracks. “You two… are Displaced?!”

“Three if you count my cousin Dinky, why?”

“Well, from our experience, ponies aren’t ones who usually get Displaced,” Ben answered.

Raven nodded in agreement. “It’s usually humans or other creatures who get brought to these alternative Equestrias. A pony being Displaced, well that’s… unheard of.”

“Guess we must the rare ponies that end up in an alternate universe huh?” The cyborg pony asked as she turned the channel on the TV. “Then again I’m not complaining about it. At least we’re away from those ponies in Ponyville in our world.”

“I-It wasn’t that bad Amethyst.”

“They egged our house, threw stuff at you and Dinky, and not only that but we got evicted from our house and had to live in house made of cardboard boxes.”

“Oooh,” Ben winced. “Ouch, yeah girl, I can feel you on that pain. Did that more than once for a lot of my life.”

“Well at least Dinky seems to enjoyed it for a while. Speaking of her where is she anyway?”

“She should be in her room with Tatsumaki. You know that pony that help us find Dinky?”

“Oh you mean the psychic earth pony.”

“Psychic earth pony?” Raven asked with a quirked eyebrow.

“That would be me.” Tatsumaki said as she entered the room while levitating Dinky in the air. “S-Class rank 2, Tornado of Terror Tatsumaki.”

“Tornado of Terror?” questioned Ben this time. “Not exactly the name you wanna go broadcasting there.”

“I take great pride with that title human, so don’t dis my title.”

“You really shouldn’t,” Ben and Raven said together, shaking their heads.

“Whatever, anyway seeing how you’re back I’m gonna head back to HQ. Apparently they have a mission for me involving some mutant dino from the past waking up and causing trouble.”

“Need my help?” Derpy asked.

“Naw, I’ll just kill it with a meteor from space. Seeya.” With that the psychic pony left the apartment through the window, and off into the distance.

“This place is more screwed up than mine…. and I deal with aliens and gods!” Ben said, his head tilted in confusion.

“Welcome to Maretropolis City. The place where weird shit always happens here.” Amethyst said, as she looked over at Ben and Raven. “So what’s the deal with you two? I know you’re humans, but what are your powers?”

“I’m a gravity shifter,” Raven explained. “I can control and manipulate gravity to my whim. Ben here’s a shapeshifter and reality warper.”

“Well, warper in training. I still haven’t gotten the hang of changing time and space.”

“A gravity user and shapeshifting reality warper.” Amethyst eyes glowed as she scanned both humans, then Derpy. “Hm, not even close to Derpy’s level.”

“Hey!” they both whined.

“Well it’s true. The scans don’t lie when it come to reading strength levels. I might be able to beat Ben if I’m lucky, but Derpy...well….you two are like small rocks getting thrown against a giant wall. Nothing is going to happen.”

“Oh yeah?” Raven challegened. “Well here’s some advice for you: power levels are bull shit!”

“Care to put that to the test then gravity shifter?”

“Yeah!” said Dinky in agreement. “No pony can beat my mom, not even you two.”

“It’s not about pure strength or power. Anyone can be defeated with the right tactics.”

“Aka, bullshitting your way out of everything.”

“Shut up, Ben. Not everyone makes everything up on the spot like you do. Winging it never works.”

“I’m still alive, aren’t I?”

“Keep up the smug attitude and that won’t be true in a few seconds.”

“What’s the matter? Scared that you’ll lose to a pony like Derpy?” Amethyst asked. “Because after seeing her destroy that meteor, I can understand you being afraid.”

“Same goes to you robot. I’ll smash you before you can say ‘oops’. Bet they’ll pay mighty nicely at the junkyard for a pile of scrap!”

Ben just stared at Raven with a face of… well, it could only really be understood as WTF. “...Dude… the fuck, girl? That was completely uncalled for.”

“I would be careful about what you say to my niece Raven.” Derpy said as she glared at the gravity shifter. “Specially when her Aunt is in the same room she’s in.”

“Then you should teach her not to gloat in front of a war veteran, especially not one that put her life on the line to make sure punks like her can say and do what they want.”

“Be that as it may, just because she may act like it doesn’t mean she is on. Especially when you saw her try to stop the meteor from destroying the city. Now I would like for you to apologize to my niece for that comment.”

“I don’t apologize for anything!”

“It’s true,” Ben deadpans. “The words ‘I’m sorry’ have never left those lips.”

“Then how about this then. I challenge you Raven to a one-on-one fight. If I win then you must apologize to my niece for that little comment you said about her. If you win then I won’t have you apologize for that comment, but Amethyst will apologize to you. Sound fair?”

Raven cupped her chin in thought for a few minutes, occasionally tapping her finger against her lips. Eventually, she smiled and held out her hand. “Alright, it’s a deal Derp. But you’re gonna wish you hadn’t made it.”

With a sigh Ben turned to Amethyst, “You got any popcorn? If I’m gonna watch a show I might as well get comfortable.”

“Smartass.”

“Better than a dumbass.”

“I’ll bring some tomorrow when we get to the fighting ground outside of the city. Because tomorrow the ponies will begin construction and I doubt any of us want to get nagged at, or force to fix something he or she broke.”

(Next day)
[Outside of Maretropolis City]

“You know it’s not too late to apologize to my niece Amethyst, Ms. Raven.” Derpy said as she stretched herself. “Or if you like you both can apologize to each other?”

“It’s Mrs. Masters to you, horsemeat,” Raven said, cracking her knuckles.

“But didn’t you say your name is Raven?”

“It’s my first name. But when you challenge me, you don’t get the privilege of calling me that.”

“Oh brother,” Ben groaned, sitting off to the side, popcorn in hand.

“Wait so your name is Masters now? Wait you change your name whenever you want?”

“Oh dear Celestia, not this again.” Amethyst said as she laid on Ben’s lap.

“Humans have two names. A first and a last name. The last name being the name of their family,” Raven explained cooly.

“Whoa! They have two names?!”

“Mom focus!” DInky yelled. “This is just like the time you got distracted by that ladybug while you working.”

“A ladybug, where is it?” Derpy asked as she looked around herself.

“......Well….this is one way to start out a fight.” Amethyst said while face hoofing herself in a combination of embarrassment and annoyance.

Raven smirked. “This might be easier than I though. She may have a lot of power, but that doesn’t mean anything if you can’t use it.”

“So...how do we do this?” Derpy asked as scratched her left ear. “Do we take turns like in a videogame or what?”

“You know what? Sure. I’ll give you the first shot.”

“She’s dead,” Ben commented, stuffing his face.

“Okay!” Derpy stood on her hind legs as she started to rush towards Raven. In a split second Derpy vanished from Raven’s vision only to appear in front of her, and deliver a power punch to the stomach. Sending the gravity master into a piece of earth sticking out from the ground. It took a few moments, but eventually Raven pulled herself up from the ground. She spat out a bit of blood, glaring daggers at Derpy.

“You’re gonna pay for that, bitch.”

“That would have sucked a lot of more if gravity shifters weren’t practically invulnerable to blunt force,” Ben commented.

“Oh I’m so gonna record this.” Amethyst said as her eyes started to record the fight.

“.....Okay.” Derpy said with a blank expression on her face. In less than blink of an eye, Raven blasted off the rock she had been hit into, completely obliterating it as she flew right at Derpy. With thirty g’s of pressure behind it, she threw her fist directly into Derpy’s face. As the punch made contact with the mare’s face, Derpy was still standing in the same place she was standing when she sent Raven flying. “Um… is this normal for your attack to now hurt me or something?”

“The hell?! I put 30Gs into that punch! How are you still sitting there?!”

“I don’t know, maybe it’s because I eat muffins everyday? That or I train myself everyday.” Derpy answered as she raised her hoof and punched Raven in the face, only to stop just a mere centimeter away from it.

“Sorry, but I’m not letting you do that again.” She suddenly disappears, reappearing a good distance away. “You’re certainly no average pony, not with strength and resistance like that. Guess I’m gonna have to amp up my tricks a little.” Raven curled her hands into fists, sending out a shockwave as her body was instantly covered in blue and white energy. “Let’s see if you’re actually worth wasting my full power on, horsemeat.”

And once again, Derpy had the same blank expression on her face from before. “...Okay...you kinda look like those glow in the dark tube sticks from the toy store.”

“You, shut up. I’m the one throwing the insults.” She placed her open palm in front of her and fired a ball of energy at Derpy, exploding on contact. “You’re not allowed to.”

“Huh, I wasn’t expecting that to happen.” Derpy said as she brushed herself off from the attack. “Guess I’ll have to give it my best shot.” With the flames of determination in her eyes, Derpy bolted in front of Raven as the simply dodge the balls of energy being sent at her. In a mere second, Derpy appears in front of the gravity shifter as delivered multiple punches to Ravens body. “Concentration, Normal Punch.” She said as it sent Raven flying a few inches next to Ben and the others.

“Having fun?” Ben snarked, looking down on his sister. His reward being a punch to the face that knocked him back and over in his chair. “OW! Not cool, girl!”

“IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO SURRENDER RAVEN!” yelled Derpy. “YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I’M A LITTLE BIT BORED!”

“You say that again, Derp, and I’ll start attacking your niece instead of you!” Raven growled, getting to her feet.

“........” Derpy said nothing as she vanished from Raven sight. Only to appear behind her, in an act of reflex Raven tired to hit the mare behind her, only to hit the after image of Derpy. As she turned around to get ready to hit the pony with a force of gravity, the gravity shifter stopped due to what she saw that shock her to the core.

Derpy immediately stopped her oncoming punch as she glared at Raven. “Don’t really care that you’re fighting me, but if you even think about coming after my niece like a coward. I will kill you, even if you are a guest in my home. Do I make myself clear?”

“Then don’t you dare treat me like a joke. I have faced far worse than a retarded pony and her glitchy niece. So don’t you dare think I’m going to give or admit defeat! Because either way, you will never get an apology out of me!” Her aura flares up as she speeds up and slams her foot into the ground in front of Derpy. “Wait for it.” The ground around Derpy suddenly began to crack before Derpy and the slab of ground shot into the air on a pillar of lava.

“So you’re one of those ponies. One who let their pride get the better of them.” Derpy said as she floated in the air staring down at the gravity shifter. “A troubled youth who lashes out at almost anypony that treats her like she’s nothing. That kind of attitude with get you or somepony close to you hurt.”

“Youth?! I’m older than you are!”

“Yet you’re acting like a little foal with a temper tantrum. After seeing you act towards my niece I would expect you to have some kind of manner or act like an adult. But seeing how you’re quick to making threats to somepony as young as Amethyst is, and how you’re treating your brother. You’re simply just a little filly in my eyes until you act like an adult.”

“Too be fair,” Ben called out, still on the ground. “She barely knows me! We only just met a year ago!”

“I think you might want to be quiet, because right now your sister is glaring at the both of us.” Amethyst said as she hid behind Ben.

“My point still remains.” Derpy said bluntly.

“As if I should give a damn how you see me! I am quick to make threats not because of some “acting out” bullshit that you’re thinking of. I am quick to make threats because that’s how you survive in a war torn world where the motherfucking changelings have killed everyone! The only race left on the entire planet now is ponies and the few changelings that survived the war! Griffons, dragons, minotaurs, yaks, cows, they’re all dead!”

“....Okay….and?”

“I was the one in charge of the military all those years. I had to make the tough calls. I had to send those good men and women to their deaths in vain hopes that we could win. Yet still, we lost. Time and time and time again for over a thousand years, for every battle we won we lost another ten! It started with hundreds, then thousands, and in the end we lost millions of lives to one fucking race of creatures! You call me childish because you couldn’t possibly understand having to live with that knowledge. The guilt, the regret, the fear, the pain. You’re a simple little mother with simple powers. Someone like you could never understand war, nor could you ever possibly understand someone who went through that hellish kind of war!”

“You’re right, I wouldn’t know what it’s like to be in a war like you have been in. But that doesn’t give you the right treat other like they’re nothing but filth on your hooves, or think your a royal pony that better than anyone else. Look I’m sorry for what happen to you on whatever world you come from, but you lashing out your anger at other will make others think that you’re just as bad as those you fought against in the war you are in.” The mare said as her face soften up a bit. “The war is over right? If you keep holding on to the past, you’ll slowly rot from the inside until you become a bitter, sad, lonely, and depressed pony that no one want to be around.”

“The past is where I lost everything. I have nothing to gain in the present or the future. Only a life to use to make sure those atrocities never happen again.”

“Yeesh,” Ben muttered. “And I thought my life was depressing. Guess losing a husband will do that to ya.”

“There always a future for those from the past.” Derpy said as she extended a hoof towards Raven. “They just need somepony to help them pick their self up. I’ll help if you’re willing to let be your friend?”

“And why the hell would I want that?”

“Because something tells me that you haven’t had a friends in a long time right? So why not start your first steps with being my friend?” The mare said with a smile on her face. “So what do you say? Let’s be friends!”

Raven just stared at the pony. “You’re an idiot.”

“Aren’t we all idiots to some degree?”

“No! Where the hell did you come up with that?! Now are you gonna fight or keep pretending to be an element of harmony?”

“But don’t you want be friends?”

“I have no need of it from you.”

“Well that’s not nice to say.”

“I’m not nice.”

“Well you should start being nice. What would your family think of you if they knew you were being mean to other ponies?”

“They’re dead. Their opinions don’t matter.”

“Still, what would they think of you if you were acting like this if they were alive? Would they be proud of your attitude towards other, or would they be ashamed by it?”

“I. Don’t. Care. It’s as simple as that.”

“Yep, I was right. You are a troubled youth. And it looks like I’ll have to knock some sense into you.” Derpy said as she landed on the ground. “But even if I can’t knock some sense into you, I still have faith that somewhere out there in the universe that you’ll make a friend or two.”

“I’m stuck with Ben and Kat, I don’t need anyone else!”

“Was that a compliment or an insult?”

“Shut up, Ben!”

“Right, shutting up!”

“Still, I have faith in you my friend.” Derpy said as she pulled out a muffin. “Want a muffin?”

“No. I’m not a fan of muffins. I prefer bagels with coffee.”

“What?! But muffins are like little cakes with love and sweetness in them.”

“Ew,” Raven said simply.

“Muffins are better than yucky bagels.” Derpy said as she puffs her cheeks. “Though coffee is good....now I have a craving for muffins and coffee for some reason.”

“You’re certainly not all there in the head.”

“Hey I’m there in the head.” as she said that a butterfly floated around her. “OH! A butterfly, you don’t see these around these parks.”

Raven sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. “No, you’re not. You’re a fool given incredibly strength and power unwisely. Fighting you will get me nowhere. I’m just gonna go.”

“Well can you at least apologize to my niece? You may be stubborn as a mule, but you have a kind heart.”

“No,” she replied with the same simplicity before turning to her brother. “Pack it up, Ben. We’re out of here.”

“Yes ma’am,” Ben sighed with a fake salute.

“Then I’ll have to fight you until you do say you’re sorry.” Derpy said with a serious expression on her face. “Even if I have to stop going easy on you.”

“Not interested anymore.” Raven hesitated a moment. “I don’t have the power to beat you, so I will not fight you. Are you that kind of pony, Derpy? Will you attack someone who won’t fight back?”

“SAID THE WOMAN WHO MADE THE THREAT OF ATTACKING A WEAKER PONY JUST BECAUSE MY AUNT SAID SHE WAS BORED!” Amethyst yelled.

“Precisely,” Raven said, turning to Amethyst. “A threat. Nothing more. A soldier doesn’t hide behind a civilian. They protect them and lay their lives down for them. It was a threat to see what power Derpy would show. And… it’s too much. I don’t know how such a being could exist with that kind of power, but it’s not one I have any chance of beating without putting the entire world at risk.”

“So my mom wins, and as such to the agreement you made yesterday you have to apologize for what you said to my cousin.” Dinky said as she trotted over to Raven. “If I’m not mistaken aren’t soldier honor bound to this kind of agreement, like the royal guards are when they do something like this?”

“This is an act of no-contest. Nobody wins, nobody loses.”

Ben leaned over, “She’s so trying to get out of the deal.”

“I’m going to smack you into a star.”

“Meep!”

“What’s so hard about saying you’re sorry? It’s not like we’re asking for your arms or legs?” Dinky asked as she gave Raven an innocent look. “If your sister was in the same position you’re in, wouldn’t she apologize with no problem?”

“It’s a matter of pride, kid. You’ll figure it out as you get older.”

“You’re not trying to bail on the agreement are you? Princess Luna told me that those who don’t honor something are nothing more than a coward with no pride.”

“Where the hell does she know this stuff?” Amethyst asked, only for Derpy to shug.

“The agreement was if one side or the other won. With no contest, the agreement is null and void.”

“Seriously, is your sister that much of sore loser when it come to stuff like this?” Amethyst asked.

Ben shrugged. “What part of knowing her for only a year didn’t you get?”

“I’m just asking that’s all.” She said before turning her attention at Raven. “Fine, leave for all I care you bitch. After seeing my aunt kick your flank around like a rag doll, I think this pretty much made my day.”

“Go rust in nuclear waste,” Raven said offhandedly.

“That’s a thing?” Ben asked.

“Eat shit from an alien toilet you jerk of a human.” Amethyst said as she glared at Raven.

“M-Maybe we should leave before Amethyst does something reckless?” Derpy suggested. “It was nice meeting you two.”

Raven looked back at them for a moment as the portal appeared. She returned her gaze to the portal, stopping in fronting of it. “Keep your family safe, Derpy. They can be taken away so easily, so don’t ever let yourself end up like me.” She walked right through without another word or a chance for reply.

Ben clicked his tongue, walking up to the portal. “In translation, ‘Sorry and take care’. And if you don’t believe me that’s what she meant, then I don’t know how to help ya.”

“Thanks, I believe what you said was what she meant to say.”

He gave a two finger salute. “See ya around, guys. You’re much more fun than any human Displaced.”

“Are other displaced humans boring?” Amethyst asked. “Because the last displaced we meet wasn’t boring...though I am going to kill for trying to hit on my Aunt.”

“I’m a speciest,” he replied with a grin. “Catch ya later!” Raven’s arm appeared from the portal and dragged him through.

“What’s a speciest?” Derpy asked as she stick her head in the portal. “Is it some kind of hero title or something?” The little pony was pushed back out, landing on her back.

Ben’s head popped out. “It means I don’t like humans. Bye!” He slipped back through, the portal collapsing into itself.

“Why would he hate his own kind?”

“I don’t know. Could that something happen to him in his past, but meh.” Amethyst said as she begun to walk back to town. “Then again I kinda knew something was off with him when we walked pass a human wearing a tiger pattern tank top.”

“Hm….I’ll ask him about that later, right now we should head back home and see if we missed a call from the Power Ponies.”

“We could do that...or we could go shopping with the bits I took from that Raven girl in her sleep last night.” Amethyst said as she pulled out a medium bag of bits.

“AMETHYST!!!”

“What? I didn’t fight her or anything, so I did the next best thing.”

“But stealing is wrong. Didn’t I tell you not to steal from other ponies?”

“You said ponies, not humans.”

“.....Huh, guess you’re right about that. Still no stealing from others, that also means humans.”

“Fine, I promise I won’t steal from other displaced humans.”

“Good, now let’s head home before Raven comes back and asks for you. Not that I have no problem protecting you, but she pretty much scares me to some degree.”

“Guess it didn’t help that I left a letter calling her a bitch huh?”

“.....TIme to leave.”

[Raven’s and Ben’s world]

“I’m gonna kill her.”

“Now let’s talk about this.”

“I’m gonna kill her.”

“Come on, Raven!”

“I’m gonna kill her!”

“Can’t we just forget about them?”

“I’m gonna kill her!!”

“What if we go out for cupcakes? My treat?”

“...unlimited cupcakes?”

“Fine, unlimited cupcakes.”

“I’m better now.”

“My wallet is not.”
