Guided By The Light
Chapter 11: Chapter 9: Turning over a new leaf.(Rewrote)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAs Twilight and Palutena exited her temple, they were suddenly hit by a white blur, sending them tumbling. Palutena managed to cast a kinetic diffusion magical sphere around Twilight and herself to keep them from slamming against the ground, or tumbling head over heels, like a ragdoll might when thrown in anger, whereupon shortly after she was now being distracted by Celestia peppering her with kisses while she held Palutena tightly to her chest.
“‘Tia, not that I am not pleased that you are here, but that was a stupid stunt. You could have hurt Twilight, and I am still carrying our foals! What in Tartarus possessed you to tackle me?” Palutena admonished, although it fell on deaf ears as Celestia continued marehandling her.
“Palu, why are you all disheveled and dirty?” Celestia asked, causing my eyebrow to twitch. Palutena whacked her on her head with her left foreleg and replied:
“If I look less than my best, then it’s because of you, you great lummox,” she rebuked Celestia.
Celestia’s ears folded as she wilted upon realizing what consequences her tackling of Twilight and Palutena could have had. “Now get off of us and explain why you’re tackle hugging us in the manner that you did!” Palutena added while checking on Twilight. Celestia backed up off her:
“I am sorry, Palu, I didn’t mean to nearly hurt you, but when I heard you’d gone off to battle, I freaked out,” Celestia explained, while sniffling as she cried though whether from joy or relief, she could not tell. Her explanation caused her to sigh in exasperation.
“‘Tia, dear, I love you, but you need to think about the fragility of mortal ponies in comparison to you. You’re strong and you tower over ponies by either a factor of two or three! For a mortal, this feels like colliding with a freight train when the train is travelling at top speed. I wasn’t in the front lines, I acted as support and a staging position for our armies. And I was not alone either.” she explained before sighing again, and wrapped Celestia in a hug and gave her a kiss, “Listen to me ‘Tia, I will always participate in battle as it is my duty as a Princess to protect our ponies. But, I am not so foolish as to be going to be on the front lines while I am pregnant, ‘Tia.” zhe continued, while stroking her cheek with her right forehoof.
“I know, I just don’t want to lose you or our foals,” Celestia said while puffing her cheeks up and pouting, which caused Palutena to chuckle.
“Come dear , I was taking Twilight home, before you interrupted.” she informed ‘Tia as she used her powers to levitate Twilight onto her back, Celestia's forelegs hooked over her shoulders, her hindlegs splayed around my hips. .
“Oh how precious!” ‘Tia squealed quietly and took a photo of Twilight, and summoned a baby photo album. Palutena looked at ‘Tia and shook her head slightly, before smiling.
“I can see much embarrassment in our foal’s future,” she snarked and nuzzled Celestia.
After they had returned their future ward to her bed, in Golden Oaks library, Celestia and Palutena retired to Palutena's temple, so she could do some exploring and see just what Rin’s imps had built. After they reached the throne room they descended down, the right hand staircase. As they made it to the next floor down, their way was blocked, by a huge vault. Opening it they peered inside, only to see mountains of treasure, gems and artifacts, “I think I just came,” Palutena muttered as she closed the vault door.
They ascended the stairs back up to the throne room and moved towards the next set that lead up on the left side. The first floor contained doorways, almost all of them empty except one, a blue liquid puddle filled the frame, and reminded her of the Stargate. Shrugging, she stepped through and bumped into someone. Palutena looked down to find a very confused dragon Twilight, with our lips locked in a kiss. A flash went off and Palutena turned to see Chrysalis with a camera, after which Palutena pulled back and climbed off to see that she was in a mirror of the room she was just in -minus the now confused dragon Twilight and Chrysalis, who had a sly smirk on her face. Palutena backed out of the room and into the portal again to land back in the room she had left with Celestia standing there.
“Well?” she asked, “where does it go?”
“It goes, to one of my temples off world, apparently. That Rin, the ninetails who built this place, thought having a portal network to places my temples exist was a funny joke it seems.”
Palutena ran up the next set of stairs hoping to forget the scale covered lips of one dragon Twilight, Asphyxious is going to kill me if he finds out I kissed his hoard!
As she made it to the next floor, she found a room covered in runes and a map of the planet.
Shaking her head she waited for ‘Tia to climb the stairs, “Come on ‘Tia, next floor, this is, um, unimportant, yes,” Palutena said unconvincingly, but Celestia chose to ignore it and followed her up the next steps, while cursing her sweet tooth.
The next floor was the library with two balconies on either side of the room and a hearth with a set of loungers and a four seater couch, Palutena squeed as she picked up a random book and skimmed through the pages, when a card fell out from the pages. She picked it up and found it was the dark magician girl Yu-Gi-Oh card. Without thinking, she summoned a Yami Yugi wig and duel disk and shouted, “It’s time to D-d-d-d-d-duel!” and laid the card face up in attack mode. ‘Tia just looked at her strangely until a screaming girl's voice came out of a portal landing on top of her.
Palutena turned to what she had inadvertently summoned, but instead of the busty dark magician girl, she saw a busty pink dragoness on top of her groaning fiancé.
“Huh? Did I make a mistake in making the duel disk? I am sure I copied it right,” she said as she started tinkering with the device on her left hoof.
“Nope. You summoned me alright,” the dragoness said before she looked to see who broke her fall. “Huh? That’s the first time I have landed on a Sunbutt when summoned. And I normally just tag along with my boyfriend when he is summoned, he said he was interested in the spells you have for sale,” she added as she got up.
“That Sunbutt happens to be my fiancé, and the sire of the twins I am currently pregnant with. Do you mind getting off of her? Also, give me your boyfriend’s card, I’ll drag his flank here too. If you want?” Palutena declared with a smirk, as she held out a hoof.
“Sure. But he is a bit busy dealing with a changeling queen for a second time. Or shall I say ex-changeling queen since it’s at the end of season six?” Dark Magician Girl said, handing over her boyfriend’s token.
“Seriously, screw that ending, I wanted to see a cute Chryssy redeemed, but nope they gotta keep her evil despite all the previous villains redeemed, and don’t even get me started on that color scheme, eugh!”
Celestia looked at them, confused about what they were talking about,
“I thought their new look was cute,” Dark Magician Girl said with a little pout.
“As an artist and a craftsmare, I shall disagree on the color pallet.”
“Will somepony speak coherently!” Celestia demanded, causing Palutena to sigh and rub her head.
“‘Tia, sweety, what we are talking about are possible events that may happen in other dimensions or universes, which may or may not happen,” she explained wearily,
“Oh, if that’s all why didn’t you say so?” she huffed while her eyes gravitated to Dark magician girl’s generous chest, I am not sure if she is jealous or is lusting after them, probably both. Palutena thought to herself.
Palutena took the dark magician card and summoned him face up on her duel disk, he appeared locked in death battle with Chrysalis, causing her to give the scene a deadpan expression and separated the two like bickering foals.
“You have an extremely bad sense of timing for summoning me, goddess of light. I was about to put an end to the ex-queen’s reign of terror once and for all,” Dark Magician said calmly while Chrysalis was glaring at him like she wants to murder him.
Palutena rolled her eyes, and turned to Chrysie, “Bad Chrysie! It’s time out for you, young lady!” and before the shock of being told off could wear off, she sent her to the light realm for a time out.
“Now, since she has been dealt with temporarily. What was that all about?” Palutena asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Have you seen the episodes that she is in?” Dark Magician asked.
“Which season?” Palutena asked
“Season 2 at the wedding.” He answered.
“What wedding!?” Celestia exclaimed, “That bitch better not be thinking of ruining our special day!” Celestia glared at the spot where the changeling had been, which causined Palutena to sigh again,
“No, well, maybe this timeline is likely a gamma, so who really knows. I kind of screwed up the timeline by adding the internet, tv and chaotic weather. Oh, and meat eating ponies. So anything is possible, but if this were an alpha or beta timeline, the wedding would have been Mi Amore Cadenza’s or Cadance's wedding to Shining Armor,” she explained
“Well, when I came back from being summoned by another displaced with a Number problem, it was at the time of the royal wedding. When me, my girlfriend, my sister and friends got there to stop the changelings, we were shocked at what the bugs had done to themselves.” Dark Magician said while trying to remain calm while talking, “Somehow that bitch had managed to break into Tartarus and stole the stone tablets that had monsters in them and fuse them with herself and her changelings,” he added with venom in his voice.
“How in Thanatos’ diseased asshole did she manage that?” Palutena asked, unsure whether to be impressed or disturbed.
“That I do not know even to this day. But she almost defeated me and my friends that day, if it was not for the king of games Yami Yugi stepping in from the Millennium Puzzle to save the day,” Dark Magician said, sounding thankful.
“How come she didn’t look any different, didn’t she fuse with a monster?”
“That’s because when Yami Yugi came, he used the power of the Millennium Puzzle to defuse the monsters from the changelings and send them back to Tartarus. After having done that, he left, Cadence and Shining Armor did the rest like in the show before we returned to Neo Domino Town,” Dark Magician said.
“I swear that millennium puzzle is a deus ex machina, and that’s coming from a goddess,”
“Same can be said for the Elements of Harmony,” Dark Magician Girl said with a giggle.
“Ah. ah. ah. Stop right there, that is a major pet peeve of mine. The elements and by extension Harmony itself are not harmonious, they are artefacts of order and it pisses me off when they are incorrectly referred to as being harmonious, bah! Great! Now I am angry again,” she grumbled to herself.
“Well, a lot of other world’s Harmonies appear to have a stick up their ass all the time, like the nobles do. But anyway. After that event I went to Tartarus and made extra sure nobody breaks in again. Of course, I had to wipe out Tirek when he was just defeated by my mane six and Fluttershy’s Blue Eyes White Dragon. So, nobody is getting in or out of Tartarus again without my say so,” Dark Magician said with a grin.
“Wait, Fluttershy’s Blue Eyes? Does that means she’s Kaiba or Mr Moto?”
“None of them. The dragon was born from the light and kindness of her heart. Which is a very rare thing to happen since the other monsters we had sealed away were born from the darkness of ponies’ hearts, which had made them do bad things like rape or murder,” Dark Magician said with a finger on his chin in thought. “When it came to the events of season 6, instead of flying away the ex-queen tried to kill Miss Glimmer, but I managed to stop her from doing that and that’s why I was fighting that bitch,” Dark Magician said with a sigh.
“Well that sucks, but shall we? We shouldn’t be standing all the time, of all the things to actually affect my body, it had to be ankle pain,” Palutena complained while gesturing to the hearth with the couch in front of it,
“Yes. You are carrying twins after all, so sitting down would be for the best,” Dark Magician said as he and his girlfriend took a seat.
As she sat down she let out a sigh of relief, “Oh~ that’s the stuff!” Palutena groaned as she conjured tea for all of us and served our impromptu guests,
“How do you like your tea?” she asked idly.
“Sure, I’ll have mine with three sugars, no cream,” both magicians said.
Following their orders to the letter, Palutena passed them around, “So, I hear that you are interested in my spells, Dark Magician. Pray tell which ones piqued your interest. I might even try and turn them into spell cards, for convenience sake,” she said as she spun two equip spell cards around and cast them on dark magician girl, one was a spell of increase bust size and another was cyber armor.
“Nice,” Dark Magician Girl said while looking at her new bust size with a big grin.
“Yes. Some spells like Fairy Law could come in handy in a fight. Plus Erza has been wanting new swords since she has been buying guns from Mane-Co,” Dark Magician with a nod.
“Do you understand what you are asking? Rin already tried that spell with her dark magic, and it was not pretty. As for Erza’s request that should be easier, can she cast using spell cards or does she use requip magic?” Palutena asked, after which, she then took a sip of tea.
“Re-equip magic since she is displaced as Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail, like her step sister was displaced as Wendy from that same show.”
“Hmmn, okay, did she have any armor sets in mind? Those swords always come with an armor, yes? And also, here is what happened when Rin Tried her own Fairy Law variant,” she asked as she created a monitor and showed them what happened to that scorpion it was cast on.
“Perhaps the Millennium items could work with it, but considering Fairy Law’s power, I don’t want it to be used willy nilly, it is a system similar to Exodia or the Elements perhaps, can you give me a Millennium item to analyze? In the meantime, here is a spell as collateral. Be careful when you use it, it makes those who use it near enough immortal,” she explained as she conjured a magea erebea card.
“The power to accept everything as it is and swallow it up, it is also a permanent spell, once used the user cannot go back,” Palutena warned as she handed it over.
“It could work with Millennium Puzzle since it was given the power of understanding when I was being displaced,” Dark Magician said while summoning the puzzle from his hammer space.
Palutena took hold of the millennium puzzle and her eyes suddenly went white, “Zuul motherfucker!” a disembodied voice called out, causing everyone to look around confused.
“The puzzle sometimes trolls someone who’s unrecognized by it, who then holds it,” Dark Magician said with a grin.
“Speaking of trolls. Do you want the shits and giggle spell to prank ponies with?” Dark Magician Girl asked.
“Despite the fact that I like pranks, I’ll abstain from that particular spell, however do you have any healing or restoration spells? I only have one actual spell for doing so. I mean yeah sure I can easily heal and resurrect anyone who dies with what amounts to a snap of the fingers, but where is the fun in that, it’s all very boring and lacks that oomph in the awe department.”
“I mean, who are you going to go to? One with awe inspiring spells, or the one who can disinterestedly snap their fingers ala Discord, even if the pony doing it is a god/goddess.”
“Well, anyone who has a spell or two might come in handy someday. And you got the most handy spells like Rin does out of all the other displaced I have watched,” Dark Magician said.
“Thanks for the compliment, years of turning fictional spells real to pass the time helped. Anyway we are getting off topic, I’ll just analyze trolly here,” Palutena said as her eyes glowed,
“Avatar state!” came another disembodied voice,
“Dammit! Well, I got the information. Now, do you want it with a fail safe like the elements or exodia in case it falls into the wrong hands, or do you want it for a single Millennium item?” she asked the two of them, as she began to absently scratch behind Celestia’s ear to show her that she hadn’t forgotten she was there. Celestia leant into her left forehoof as she did, and groaned in pleasure.
“Well, you could make it only work for me. I always keep them in my hammer space for safe keeping.” Dark Magician suggested.
“Hmmn, I still don’t want this spell used willy nilly, so how about I put in a cost.. Do you fight using life points?” Palutena asked,
“How about this?” she said as she conjured a template, with the card description, ‘Millenium Law, Sacrifice one thousand life points to activate, destroy all enemy monsters on the field and deduct a thousand life points for each monster destroyed from your opponent, when your turn ends place it at the bottom of your deck and shuffle your deck. There must be one monster with the dark magician prefix on the field to activate the spell.”
“It will do nicely thank you,” Dark Magician said with a nod as he took the card and put it in his robe. “Would you like books that will tell you all about the other displaced that are out there in other Equestrias?” he asked and offering said book.
“That would certainly help. I already know Rin, in fact her temple is in my Ponyville as mine is also in pervy lich’s lair. It seems when building this place Rin created a room that enables me to travel between my temples without a token. Hmmn, hang on a second” Palutena asked as she took the offered book and concentrated on creating a new card, ‘Temple Palace of the Goddess of light, field spell, all light based monsters can be special summoned from the hand once per turn. Money, books, spells, crafted items with personal value, gems and artifacts can be sacrificed from the hand for a boost of five hundred life points, sacrifice three light based monster cards to ritual summon, ‘Palutena, goddess of light’
‘Palutena, goddess of Light, eight stars, Atk ????/Def ???? Light
Description: ritual monster, attack and defence points are calculated based on the combined atk and def points of monsters sacrificed to summon.
Special effect: all light monsters on the field get a five hundred boost to atk and def points. Sacrifice Palutena to destroy all monsters and spells on the opponent's field,
On each standby phase lose five hundred life points as long as Palutena is on the field.’
“This will come in handy as well, thank you,” Dark Magician said as he took those cards as well. “I think that will do for spells. Thank you. Now then. What to do with the ex-Changeling Queen?” He added calmly.
“Hmmn, I don’t know, she is from your world, hang on,” she asked as she pulled her from the light realm. Chrysalis was now a shivering mess with her chitin bleached white. “Have you learned your lesson?” Palutena asked her, she looked at Palutena and tried to escape from her magical grip in fear. Palutena sighed, and pulled her close and started shaping her form, filling in her holes, blunting her horn, changing her wings into a pair of butterfly wings. She began molding her innards and changing them to her whim, and finally changed her pupils into more pony like ones. Palutena then turned her chitin into a coat, turned it pure white and her mane and tail a light shade of blue. then Palutena finally set her down, and let her scrabble away from her while she disinterestedly took a sip of tea.
“Hmm?” Dark Magician said looking at the ex-queen.
“Oh you wish to know what I did? Part of my powers include transformation either of myself or others, I turned her from a parasite that needs love into a something more akin to the flutter ponies or breezies. She cannot harm anypony, I took her mind control and her shapeshifting abilities and gave her the ability to passively spread serenity and calm. She can now eat normal food and drink to survive and I left in a kill switch for the hive mind. I can turn the old changelings into the same as her, kill her link to the old changelings or I can make her and anything she births be individuals, but that will be your choice however.”
“I think she should still be exiled from my Equestria and never to return as a way of paying for her crimes,” Dark Magician said with a sigh.
“And what of your decision Dark Magician girl? Last I checked, you ruled in tandem,”
Palutena asked, ignoring the subtle twitching of Dark Magicians eyebrow.
“Well, I think having her exiled would be better for her in the long run, since she could have a fresh start.” Dark Magician Girl suggested while eating a cupcake.
“Sound logic, but where to? Hmmn, Chrysanthemum, you are to be exiled. You may stay here as a priest, to atone for your sins. You will learn humility, kindness, love and friendship, you will help those in need to the best of your ability. It will be a long and difficult journey and now you have a choice, stay here repent, or you can pay for your sins with your life. Choose carefully now child, death maybe the easy way out, but ultimately it is the coward's way out.”
“I guess staying here is fine,” The ex-queen said quietly.
“Then I bind you to myself, you will be fed, washed, and clothed. Spread a message of peace so that you may also find it. However be warned, you will be punished for your failures or mistakes. Within reason of course. Do well and I may see fit to reward you,” Palutena declared, while Celestia just rolled her eyes at her for going ‘Old Testament’ on Chrysanthemum.
“Ok,” The ex-queen said quietly again.
“Now that is done with ... Is there anything else we can do?” Dark Magician asked.
“Yes, in fact there is. That field spell is a copy of my temple, place it on the ground in a suitable spot within neo domino town and it will create my temple, but this will only occur once so choose wisely. After that it will be just require the activation of the spell.”
“And here is a copy of my token” she said as she handed them her staff token,”it can fire mega laser as well so be careful where you point it at.” she warned, “and here is my automated spell store orb, Palutena’s spells accepts all currency except from scoltish bits and scottish pounds accepted. Custom orders will cost more.” she handed them the orb as well. “If you wish to gift anything to my temple, once it’s ready just place the item on the altar in the atrium, same items accepted as in the description of the card.”
“Thank you. I will set the temple next to our tower in Neo Domino Town,” Dark Magician said as he took the card while Dark Magician Girl took the token.
“Well, with our business done, for now our contract is complete. And if any of the revived Twilights’ are interested, they can come stay here as well.
“I think some of them are on their way now. So goodbye, and if you see any Number Monsters let me know,” Dark Magician said as he disappears.
“Do you mean xyz number monsters or just cards like gate guardian xiii?” Palutena asked too late.
“Xyz monsters known as the Numbers. So bye bye, and tell Pervy Lich I said ‘hi’ the next time you see him,” Dark Magician Girl said as she disappears as well.
“Will do, bye.” Palutena bid them farewell.
“Hmm. There we go. One new temple and it goes nicely next to the tower,” Dark Magician Girl said while she looked at the new temple.
“It’s looking better than that Ava’s one in that Lich’s world,” Blaze said while also looking at the temple.
“It’s a good thing too. Because that would be the one place Scout would no longer be a virgin in,” Dark Magician said while hearing Scout shouting “hey,” from far away.
After the two dark magicians had left, Palutena stood up and made her way upstairs, beckoning Celestia and Chrysanthemum to follow, then led them to a room filled with her tokens and several workstations for all kinds of craft work, with a forge and a kiln.
“Oh good, it is always so much fun to work with one's hands shaping material to your whim,” Palutena said, expressing her appreciation for the room.
The next level was the last. It contained a simple office desk with two bookcases on either side and a large bed for two and two doors, one led to an ensuite bathroom with a hot tub bath set into the floor and a toilet and sink. Through the other door lay another bedroom, likely a guest bedroom.
“Chrysanthemum, that will be your room, till we find a more permanent room for you,” Palutena ordered. She meekly bowed and entered her room.
“It's getting late, let us retire to our bed,” Palutena whispered in 'Tia's ear causing her to shiver with anticipation, as despite having had a lot of sex they had never snuggled in a bed or slept together. She slipped under the covers and was joined by Celestia.
