Author's Notes:

Hey I'm alive! sorry it took so long to update, this one just took a little while and let's leave it at that.

I groaned, clutching the pillow as I feel something shaking me. I tried to ignore it, resist it even… but it just kept shaking me. I grumbled, trying to go back to sleep. I eventually gave up on sleep, blinking my eyes open sleepily.

“I-ita?” I softly hear, unaware of who was speaking.

“Huh?” I mutter, looking around for who spoke to me. When my eyes adjusted, I could see a familiar face. Just with some kind of grey scarf on.

“Ita… Ita, are you okay?”

“Bwig bwutha?” I asked, looking up at him, surprised he’s here.

“Ita, what’s wrong?” He asked me, “I heard your cries in the middle of the night when I was trying to sleep.”

“N-nwothing.” I stutter not looking him in the eye, pulling the pillow closer,

“Sis, clearly something is wrong. Why aren’t you looking at me?” He then asked

“N-nwothing, weally.” I said, not wanting to think too much on what happened in the last world I was in.

“Ita please… Remember when I told you that my arm pulses when someone lies?”

Oh crap.

“It’s jwust… swomething fwom the world I jwust weft, dwon’t worry.” I told him, for some reason being really stubborn about this. However, this was short lived as we both heard a knock on the door.

“Hello? Anypony home? Anypony at all, please answer!”

Ken then looked back at me, before looking back at the door. “I thought you once told me that you were the only one alive here?”

“...I thwought I was…” I said, really confused about this. “Cwould wou gwet it bwig bwutha? I’m stwill in mwy pjs…”

“Yeah just hang on a sec…” Ken replied as he walked over to see what was there. “Ita, there’s a pegasus at the door.”

“Wet thwe pwegasus in!” I shouted to him, snapping my fingers and changing my pj’s into a blue lolita dress with dark blue slip on shoes.

I floated into the living room, where Ken was holding open the door and now, outside was a light grey pegasus mare with a navy mane and tail. “W-who are you?” It asked.

“Im Itazura, hwi!” I told it, waving at it cutely.

“Ita… Please, don’t mind her. She normally talks like that from time to time… My name is Ken.” He introduced himself to the pegasus. “Who are you, miss?”

“Storm Chaser.” She replied. “My name is Storm Chaser.”

“Well, Ms. Storm, come on inside… I have a feeling that you can answer some questions that we might have.” The Scalebound held the door open as she trotted inside. Taking a seat at the nearby table, we all sat down as the pegasus looked back at me.

“Uh……”

“Is something wrong?” Ken asked her.

“N-no! Nothing’s wrong… It’s just… It’s the first time I’ve been above ground in six months and the first lifeforms I do meet are… ones I haven’t seen before.” Big brother looked back at me, confused as I looked at him before turning my attention to the pegasus.

“How are wou awive, I thwought evewything dwied?” I asked the pegasus, tilting my head cutely.

“Well, when the chaos started, a bunch of us fled into the caves under Canterlot. From there, we found an abandoned underground city and any survivors there took up shelter.” The pegasus answered her question. “It was only until recently that the entrance that was said to have been sealed broke apart because of a recent earthquake. Now we can return to the surface.”

“Hang on… an earthquake happened?” The Scalebound asked, now looking towards me. “Ita?”

I blushed a little in embarrassment, knowing what probably caused the earthquake. “I mwight of cwaused it when I wipped mwy iswand out of the gwound.” I told him, my voice being quieter as I go on. That, in turn caused Ken to facepalm himself and for Storm to look at me with a surprised look on her face.

“H-how-?”

“Ita… Do you think we can trust Storm here to keep a secret?” Ken then asked me as I looked back at him.

Staring at Storm for a couple seconds, I nodded, smiling at my big brother.

“Then you may want to be in your grown up form for this.” He suggested to me.

“Okway.” I said, my body glowing as I shifted into my more mature form, my dress turning into a light blue hoody and jeans as I do, my slip ons changing into sneakers.

“What the-?”

“Now Storm… we are only telling you this because we trust you okay?” Big brother explained to her. “I believe you are familiar with the princesses, am I right?”

“Y-yes. But Celestia, Cadence and Luna died during Tirek’s-”

“Well that’s the thing… Ita here is suppose to be her successor.” He continued. “However, she isn’t at full strength as of now and only can have her strength return by collecting a series of plates based off of different species. That’s why she was able to pull her island out of the ground and in turn, caused the earthquake that broke down the wall blocking your way out.” The pony now was looking at me, confused but shocked all the same. But the shock was not one that meant she was scared. It was one that meant hope.

“Y-you mean-?”

“Yeah, when I get all my plates I’ll be the Goddess of this whole universe, only need four more plates.” I told the pegasus, grinning.

“Plates?” The mare asked, going into her saddlebag to-. Wait, how does she-?! “You mean like this one?”

“Yes!” I said, reaching my hand out, the plate rushing into me, filling me with all rock type move knowledge and all the exp I would’ve gotten if I had actually went to it’s temple. I hugged the mare, smiling.

“Uhh… Y-you’re welcome?” She replied, still a little confused and surprised about my leaping hug.

Realising what I just did, I blushed a little, leaping back to where I was. “T-thanks, for bringing your soon to be Goddess a plate, you can have a wish, what is it?”

“A-a wish?” She asked, a little nervous. “Well… what I want really isn’t a wish… It’s more of a… well request.”

“Request?” Ken asked.

“When the attack happened, my home in Cloudsdale was destroyed…” Storm told me, looking a little sorrowful. “C-can I stay here, goddess?”

“Sure, I got a couple rooms I don’t use anyway, pick one I can just make the furniture.” Now was when the tables were turned. This time she was leaping to me and pulling me into a hug, nuzzling her head against the top of mine.

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!” She squeed, still hugging me as her muzzle just barely reached one of my horns. I squirmed a bit at the contact to my horns, blushing more. Soon though, she moved her head as she looked back at me.

“I’m gonna take my leave if you don’t need me for anything else, Ita.” Ken informed me as he prepared his token for the trip home.

“Well I was gonna go plate hunting, but one found me so I should be good for now, see ya later Ken.” I told him. In return, he nodded his head before he stepped through a tear in the void towards his home. That though, surprised Storm… a lot.

“What was that all about?” She asked me.

“Me and him are beings called Displaced. We’re originally from a different universe, but someway or another, we get sent to a different version of Equestria.”

“Oh you mean like Lady Zinnia?” Storm asked. “She was a Draconid that was a friend of Luna… However, Tirek… well… happened.”

“Yeah I met her before, using time stuff I won’t bother to explain.” I told her, before clapping my hands. “Now let’s get the survivors a home now shall we?”

“Where though? Almost everywhere except up here is barren ground and rubble.” She asked me.

“I’ll just fix up a patch of ground down below to for them to make a new town. How’d ya think this place is so prosperous?” I asked her, grinning.

“Yeah, but we should have it where it isn’t that far from the Underground,” Storm mentioned. “Don’t ask, somepony else came up with the name.”

“Which way is it?” I asked her, getting a mischievous idea.

“This way then.” She said, spreading open her wings as she began to fly in the air. “Follow me. You can fly right?”

“I can Fly, yes.” I told her, using said move, making golden wings sprout from my back.

“Great, that makes things easier!” With that, she went off in a nosedive and began to soar through the sky. With me following behind her.

I flew next to her, seemingly relaxing in the sky. “So… this the top speed? I can float faster than this.” I said with a cocky grin.

“Oh really? I would go faster, but I didn’t want to tire myself or leave you behind.” She replied. “Anyways, we should be getting close now. Be prepared to land in a minute.”

“Okay.” I told her, deactivating Fly, now just floating next to her. “I wonder if they’ll panic when I get there, would probably be funny.”

“Panic? To be clear, no one has seen any new creatures in half a year, Lady Ita.”

“Well, from what I’ve heard around the multiverse, ponies are kinda… skittish let’s say.” I told her, shrugging. “Didn’t want them thinking I’m evil or something.”

“Understandable… Can you wait out here though, I think there’s somepony I would like you to meet.” She said, flying into the opening of the cave before coming out some time later. Following her though was… Wait a second… Is that-?

“Y-you!!”

“Me, I’m surprised you recognize me Twi, I’ve changed since last time.” I said, a mischievous grin on my face.

“Y-yes you have…” The Alicorn replied, but soon raising an eyebrow. “Yet you still never told me your name...”

“Didn’t have one when you met me.” I told her, shrugging cross legged in midair. “It’s Itazura now though, feel free to add chan to the end of that if you want.”

“Itazura then? Okay… What brings you here now?” She asked. “Surely, you must have a reason for you to be here.”

“I was planning on making a piece of land for you guys that’s actually, you know, liveable I’m kind of going be a Goddess soon.” I told her, smiling.

“Y-you mean you’re going to be… Celestia’s successor?” She replied. “Oh my stars, I am so grateful for Storm finding you.”

“What, couldn’t handle being in charge?” I asked her, giggling a little.

“No, it’s just… Try living underground for six months and you’ll understand.” She replied. “Now… About the land you were going to make? Is this true?”

“Yeah, pick a patch of land and I’ll revitalize it, should last you guys long enough for me to get the rest of the plates and restore the whole planet.” I told her, shrugging at the end.

“You mean just Equestria, don’t you?” Twilight asked. “Tirek’s attack was on Equestria and because of it, it cut us off from neighboring countries like Griffonstone and Prance. The sooner we can get a town set up, the sooner we can get a message out to the other countries to ask for help. It’s been hard to get a lot of things done without the princesses… Good thing we have you Ita.” She smiled.

I grimaced, hating to have to say this. “Yeah… the thing is, unless there are other secret underground survivors, everything else died including Arceus, that’s why I can get the plates in the first place.”

That was when Twilights eyes widened immensely… “Oh dear Stars… We’re the only ones left…” She almost looked like she was going to be on the verge of tears when she looked around at the barren land around her. “Mom… Dad… I’m so sorry…”

“If you want, when I’m a full Goddess I can probably just take all the dead races soles and give them new bodies, I will be the Goddess of the universe after all, not just this world.” I informed her, grinning again.

“You can’t… Only the warden of Tartarus decides the fate of souls.” She replied. “I thank you for your kind offer, but there are somethings that even I can’t do. We should start with the land though… Then we can make a memorial for the dead.”

“Well personally I was just gonna use Xerneas’ powers to revive everyone, kinda what that Pokemon could do… but if you wanna leave them dead, I understand… Point where to revitalize and I’ll get to work.” I said casually, shrugging again.

“How about where we are?” She suggested.

“That’s a good starting point.” Storm agreed with Twilight’s statement.

“Okay.” I said, glowing as I floated up. “Now let’s do this!” I said, grinning as I shot a beam down, it releasing a pulse outward that revitalised the land, the brown ground turning green, the sky turning back to blue and allowing the sun through. “There, generally revitalized, ready for farming and everything.”

“Thank you Ita… I should go inform the others. It’ll take a few days to build everything, but can you leave some building supplies just in case?”

“Sure, anything except metals, don’t have that plate yet.” I told them, making some wood, glass, and other things appear for them to build with, even though I could probably just as easily do it myself. Some time later though, as more ponies emerged from the cave, Twilight asked me to create a few boulders on the side. More specifically, four of them. After doing so, the Alicorn used her magic to create four statues.

One of Celestia, one of Luna, one of Cadence and her husband, Shining Armor… and one of Zinnia.

“May your souls find eternal peace.” She prayed, before using her magic to plant the statues in the ground so they couldn’t move. A few tears falling down her face.

“Anything special you want on them?” I asked her, stretching a bit. She whispered something into my ear, which in turn I nodded and added a special stone slab to the base of each statue. Twilight in turn, used her magic to inscribe a message on each block of stone before leaving them be.

“Well… that’s done.” I said to myself, floating cross legged.

“... Are you okay, Ita?” Twilight asked. “You… seem different.”

“Huh?” I asked, snapping out of a daze. “Yeah I’m fine, why?”

“You aren’t as… cheery like the last time I’ve seen you.” She said. “Is something wrong?”

“Nah, I’m fine… just kinda… zoned out.” I told her putting my cheek on my fist.

“Ita… You’re like an open book at times. Clearly something is wrong.” Twilight replied. “You can’t hide these feelings of yours.”

“It’s just something that happened in another world, don’t worry about it.” I told her, trying to play it off.

“You’re gonna have to talk about it at some point… Bottling it up is not going to help anyone.”

“Yeah… probably.” I admitted, looking down and frowning.

“Do you want to talk about it with me?” She then asked. “We can keep it between us.”

“Yeah… should probably go to my island in the sky, it’s more private there.” I told her, taking the middle ring off and using Hyperspace Hole and opening a portal to my island. Twilight followed me inside as we soon returned home. Now that we were alone, we could be able to talk.

“So…” I said, not really sure where to start with this, frowning again.

“Go ahead… tell me what’s on your mind.” She insisted. “I would use a mind reading spell, but I thought that would just be an invasion of privacy.”

“Well…” I said, rubbing my arm. “In my… let’s say child form, is what I usually use to meet most other displaced… and I may have gotten a bit of a more… family like attachment to one… and I won’t be able to go back there till the problem there is solved… and I was in my child-like form still so… let’s just say I didn’t take it very well.” I sighed at the end, blushing a little in embarrassment.

“What’s the problem?” She asked.

“You deal with sirens yet?” I asked, turning to her. “There worshipping Yvetal in her world, and they have these pokemon that I think they tortured.” I told her, shuddering a bit thinking about what they would of done to me if they had gotten me.

“We’ve dealt with them. Before Tirek though… He’s the reason why everything went to hell.”

“I know why everything went to hell, just curious.” I told her, leaning back on my couch.

“Who is the one you’ve grown… attached too?”

“Names Serena, she’s one of the characters from the Pokemon show and not an actual Pokemon.” I told her, staring at the ceiling.

“And what is she like to you?”

“She’s like another mother, though my Displacer Patty is to… got a very strange family tree developing… I’m not going to think about it too much, would probably just cause headaches.” I said, now lying down on the couch.

“Trust me… my assistant Spike is a dragon and he see’s me as a mother.”

“Well at least your still in your universe, my strange new family is across the multiverse, how’s he doing since I made him bigger by the way?” I asked her, trying to change the subject.

“He’s… grown to say the least… Who’s in your family though?”

“Well pretty much everyone who I’ve met so far…” I trailed off, thinking about how strange the family reunion would be.

“And those people are… Ita, I can’t help you unless you actually tell me about them.”

“If you want, just read my mind about it I’m not to good at this kinda stuff.” I told her, stretching on the couch, and making sure that she only gets images of everyone except chaotix and Jason. But after she did the spell, what she said next surprised even me.

“Y-you met Zinnia?”

“Yeah, so?” I asked her, tiling my head curiously.

“N-nothing… I was just… Surprised… She was a real good friend and… almost like family.” Twilight said. “I miss her… a lot.” Taking a minute to compose herself, she then looked back at me with a different question in mind. “Now… who is the one with the dragon like arm that you call your big brother?”

“That is Ken, he’s a… Scalebound, I think.” I told her, sitting up.

“Well, that I figured as much… though, I saw something in particular that might… well… solve your problem.” She replied. “Remember how Displaced have tokens?”

“Yeah?” I asked, curious now.

“And you use that wormhole to come here right?”

“Yeah, it’s easy… why?” I said, not sure where she’s going with this.

“What if you used a token while using a wormhole at the same time. Meaning where you end up will be wherever or whoever it belongs too?”

“Well I think that’d work… I mean I could just go there without the token already, but it’s tiring… it’d probably just make it easier.” I told her stretching as I stood up.

“Well, how I always saw it is that a token is like a magnet. Either you pull a Displaced to you… or with enough force, you are pulled to them.”

“Well I guess… want anything to eat?” I asked her, floating in place.

“Do you have any chocolate. Since we’ve been underground, ponykind has had a lack of certain foods that could be considered as pleasures.” She replied. I nodded my head, but as I was floating over to the cupboards to go get some for her, I heard the most strangest question that I thought I would hear from Twilight. “Hey… How do you see this Ken… as a brother?”

“Well… I was in my kid form, and he was acting like one so it just kinda… happened I guess.” I told her, grabbing some chocolate from the cupboards

“It must be nice… I once knew what it felt like… But I lost my brother during Tirek’s rampage… He sacrificed himself… for us.” She said, dropping her head down. “Oh Shiny… You were gone too soon.”

“Hey, would he want you like this?” I asked her, floating over and handing her the chocolate bar.

“N-no… But you don’t understand… Before he and all the princesses died… he was going to be a father… now I’m the only one left of my family.” Twilight groaned. “It’s just… hard you know.”

“I don’t really know, but I can imagine.” I told her, sighing. “I can kinda get it because, a few months before my displacement my grandfather died.” I told her, getting a bit sad at the memory.

“I-i’m… sorry to hear that.” She said, using her magic to take hold of the chocolate bar that I gave her. “D-do you think…… I can see you as a little sister?”

Grinning, I glowed a little as I began to shrink down to my child form, my cloths changing back to how they were earlier.”

“Swure bwig swister.” I said, hugging her. I felt tears from her eyes as she hugged me back, the little droplets crashing on top of my head as the alicorn held me closer to her.

“T-thank you, Ita…” She said, still shedding tears.

I said nothing, just rubbing her back as I hugged her, waiting for her to calm down. She did so in time, but it was then that I felt a little bit of heat coming off of her cheeks. Looking up, I began to notice that she was blushing.

I giggled at her embarrassment, floating back from the hug.

“Why wou bwushing bwig swistah?” I asked her, tilting my head curiously.

She looked down, nudging one of my legs with her hoof. “You’re… getting a little too close there.” She told me.

“Sowwy.” I said, moving my leg away. “Bwetter?”

“A-a bit… it just felt… weird…” She said to me, still blushing.

“Weird hwow?”

“Well… I’ve never felt anything like that before… Even though it looked weird it felt… good.” She said. Please, don’t tell me she is what I think she is…

“Are wou a vwigrin?” I asked, giggling. She at first stepped back, holding her wings together. But after the question settled a bit, she then sighed.

“No, of course not!” She said. “I knew Zinnia, don't I?”

“Of cwourse.” I said, giggling, a knowing grin on my face. Only leading to Twilight raising an eyebrow, which was a cue for me to continue explaining.

“Sowwy, thwat was mwe accidwentally wubbing wour pwussy.” I said, before immediately laughing at how ridiculous that sounded coming from child me’s mouth.

“Accidently?” She said, shaking her head to try and erase the thought from her mind. “Nevermind that. How do you know about that?”

“Wet’s jwust sway thwat I dwo alot of fwamily bwonding.” I told her, grinning. That, just caused her to facehoof herself.

“Oh dear Celestia, I don’t even…” Twilight sighed, looking back at me and saying the first thing that came to mind to try and change the topic. “M-maybe we should get back to the others and have them settle in first.”

“Okway.” I said, shifting back into my older form. “Let’s go, big sis.” Before we left though, I heard Twilight say one other thing to me before we turned to the ring.

“Do you think that I can… meet Ken after we help the others? He is sort of my new brother, right?”

“I could just summon him now, I mean I have his token in the dresser drawer next to my bed.” I told her, shrugging.

“Well, we should help everypony else first beforehoof.” She said. “You did save us from a life of living underground after all.”

“Okay, let’s go then.” I said, stepping through my ring as my new big sister soon followed me.
