Click, click, click… Rin sat in her bed changing channels, trying to find something she’s like.

“Next on the rape channel!”
Click
“Welcome to the Fall of Equestria Channel where Equestria has fallen all of the time!”
Click
“Welcome to the Justin Bieber channel! All Justin Bieber! All the time!”

“Five hundred and sixty eight billion channels and nothing to watch…”

“Dollette’s Death match of the gods, were gods, goddesses and demigods come from all over the multiverse to participate in a no holds barred deathmatch!” An earth pony mare that looked off announced cheerfully. “Sponsored by Charleston chew with really chewy goodness!”

Rin just turned up the volume a little and focused on one goddess in the arena with worry as she burned. Then when it looked like she was about to lose she-”

“WHAT THE FUCK!?” Rin cries out..

“What are you doing! I thought I fixed that when I removed that corrupted soul fragment!” Rin said sadly as she watched Pally eating the competition.

“Oh, Pally.” Rin said sadly.

The camera panned to follow a familiar looking cybernetic dragoness rushing over to a collapsed Palutena picking her up and dragging her off.
The camera wipe faded to show Palutena's room, several familiar displaced to Rin, F.A.U.S.T., Handsome Jack, Asphyxious, Ax’s Luna, anthro Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Lumi and Palutena’s foals. Palutena was laying down shifting forms rapidly while Handsome Jack watched over her with his Echo.

Asphyxious looked like he was arguing with F.A.U.S.T. and then ran out of the room roaring.
Jack looked disinterested as he looked over the shifting Palutena and then Shoved a collar on Palutena’s neck. Her body stops shifting, after Palutena spasmed as if shocked.

Palutena suddenly sits up shouting, “Bitches love cannons!” in Abridged Alucard’s voice.

“wait what the hell! Ow, I feel like I was stuck watching Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider movies,” Palutena complained, her voice back to normal and rubbing her head as Celestia, Twilight and Lumi tackle hugged her. Rin just deadpanned at this before switching the mirror off.

“Looks like it’s time to go on a little field trip. to a god tournament to check up on her.” Rin said aloud as she created a portal and passed into the new world. Coming out in the middle of a street full of gods and goddesses I summon Pally’s token and use its link to her to track her down. After a bit of searching I find an anthro pony with fox ears wings a horn and nine tails of various colours and a mane that has stripes of colours matching her tails.

“...Oh that is bull shit! Copyright infringement! I call copyright infringement! First you start that darkness aspect thing and spreading throughout the multiverse after I did it now you’re taking my tails to!” Rin cried out.

The anthro mare turned around and froze Palutena’s magic decided that it wanted to escape from her body and each one arced like a coronal ejections, Causing Palutena to wince in pain.

“...What, is happening to you?” Rin asked in concern.

“Rin…. You wouldn’t happen to have a dozen gems on you would you?” Palutena said through her winces.

“I’m a dungeon keeper displaced. I have infinite gems.” Rin replied as she created a portal and gems erupted out of it and left a large pile on the ground.

Palutena dived into the pile and starts devouring the gems while her nine tails wags happily. Palutena chewed the gems and swallowed before continuing, “oh thank you Rin my body has rejected any food but gems and sapients as a fuel source sure I can still taste and eat them but it sucks that it doesn't sate me anymore. Kinda like a vampire, I have so many aspects now normal food is worthless for dietary value.” Palutena explained as she continued digging into the mineral smorgasbord.

“Why did you even do this to yourself anyways? I thought this was fixed after I removed that corrupted soul fragment.” Rin asked.

Palutena scowled ”This tournament happened to me, after I devoured Kagutsuchi while I was jack the ripper berserk mode and unconscious. I started to hunger for my opponents despite my best attempts to avoid eating them I started by devouring Aqua’s aspect without eating her. But after that and Ramuh deeming me worthy things then went to tartarus after that Dollette the void dweller fed me the corpses of those gods and goddesses who had been defeated while i was at my weakest and when my body was breaking down, now I have all their aspects and power but my body is having issues supporting them all not to mention the unintentional copycat, i mean come on I only ate a one tailed kitsune why did i get nine. Gilgamesh thinks he can help fix it without me losing the aspects. And hey you know what they say about mimicry being the sincerest form of flattery.” Palutena explained between bites.

“... So… The reason you’re like this...and ripping me off...is because of this void dweller?” Rin asked angrily.

Palutena nodded ashamed. “Yeah, I’m a monster, this whole thing just exacerbated the damage that was caused by that parasite you removed,” Palutena asked self deprecatingly.

“And you’re going the woa is me route, Popular choice.” Rin replied. “Anyways, you’re not a monster Pally… Saying that I might be able to help you the way I keep mine compliant. That instinct to feed won’t be an issue if you're full. I have a group of imps whose entire job is to hack away at gem seams to keep this one treasury full of them to transmit and feed my dragons. I could let you gorge yourself on my supply.” Rin offered.

Palutena eyes sparkled as they widened and she began salivating.

“...I’m going to take that as a yes.” Rin said.

“...I’m going to bury you alive now.” Rin said plainly before a massive pile of gems appeared over Palutena, burying her. “Enjoy the meal.”

Munching sounds emanating from the pile and sounds of pleasure could be heard.

A sign of light appeared next to them it made the sound of a modem, warning class 7 flank Celestia incoming batten down your hatches and hide your cake, pastries and candy” At that moment Rin turned with a twinkle in her eye as she summoned a giant cake and placed it right at the spot where they would pop out. A moment later the cake wiggled with muffled shouts of surprise coming from inside.

Celestia was first to come out of the giant cake as she revealed a rather unamused expression.

The second to pop out was Linkle’s head. “..Can this day get any more random?” she commented.

“Why hello.” A strange man said as he walked up to Linkle. “My name is Murphy. I believe you just invoked me?”

Palutena popped out of her gem pile, “the fuck you doing here Murphy!? I thought I beat your arse when you tried to interfere with my gift to the doom marines!”

Linkle had a deadpan expression before she reached in and tried to pull Theia from out of the cake, her cleavage covered with frosting. Tempting offer though.

“Is that suppose to be this universe's discord?” Celestia guessed as she casted a spell on herself, causing the frosting to vanish in a magical wave.

“Actually no that would be the personification of sods law, he is an ass hole. And I am friends with my discord, although he is scared shitless of me. I wonder why? Perhaps it's what I did to Harmony and Pandora for messing with the balance of my Equestria.” Palutena remarked offhandedly,

“You’re Palutena?” Linkle asked in minor confusion

“in the flesh, goddess of Harmony, order, chaos, darkness, light, elements and wisdom and Craftsmanship and many more that would take too long to explain. How can I help, I am sated and in a great mood!” Palutena's smiled cheering with her arms held up.

“She’s been ripping me off.” Rin told Linkle with her nose in the air.

Palutena looked at Rin then transformed into Adam jensen from ‘Deus Ex Machina human revolution’, “I didn’t ask for this,”

“Just a few things. If it’s not too much to ask, I’d like to have a Temple Seed so I can connect your Equestria with Mine.” Linkle started off. Rin just gave him a look at that.

“Oookaaaay. But first why?” Palutena asked her eyes narrowed watching a fidgeting Theia and Linkle.

“My temple isn’t welcome in your world but hers is?” Rin complained.

“W-well.. Its… for the sake of love..” Linkle said with a nervous chuckle. A tail moved over her face changing the expression into a glare.

“Anyway’s, ignoring lady link being a jerk, I came to check up on you.” Rin sad in an annoyed tone to Pally.

Palutena sighed, “why exactly? I mean I know we’re practically family but what caused you to worry or even know I was in trouble? Unless you were watching from the stands?”

“I saw you on God TV.” Rin replied.

“God TV?” Palutena asked in confusion.

“Oh, it turns out the gods of the multiverse have their own cable tv. I came here after seeing you in a fight eating other gods… I should also probably warn you that what’s going on in the room you’re staying in is also being broadcasted.” Rin replied.

“FRELL!” Palutena swore, a word that few of those present couldn’t understand

“‘Gasp! Such language!” Rin said with a shocked voice.

“Did your mother teach you not to use that word?” a woman in all black with black hair and wearing leather pants said.

“Erin Tsun?” Palutena blinked before shaking her head turning back to Rin.

“Okay... moving along, So I take it you saw my first official match then or was it the preliminaries, where I acting like the creepy innocent girl that revelled in death?”

“I tuned in to see the buddha guy talk to you then you went evil and got a bad case of the munchies.” Rin replied.

“Oh that was a psych out tactic, a complete act, meant to throw my opponents off balance.” Palutena explained scratching the back of her head sheepishly.

“I can respect that tactic, it’s the eating people, especially if they don’t deserve it, things like that gets to me. Well that and you stealing my thunder but that I can ignore to an extent.” Rin said in agitation.

Palutena slumped, “Yeah I did kinda go too far there, I guess I got too into the act. And as I explained I wasn’t conscious of my actions at the end with Kagutsuchi and by the time Dollette came around I was already suffering from this unending hunger.

Palutena sighed as she righted herself, “Anyways, I have made an oath with Gilgamesh that I won't kill or eat sapients that aren’t irredeemably evil or trying to kill me. Not that I want to experience a worse hunger than that or become a mini Galactus, the world eater.”

“...Bullshit! You just admitted that you had no control over yourself when you ate them and you think that just because you said you won’t anymore that it won’t happen again? And even if you did keep to that promise you would still be eating people even if only evil ones which will make you stronger which will up the dietary needs! Ether you need to go cold turkey or you need to be locked up!” Rin said angrily.

“....Well that is true, Gilgamesh said he had a way to help me in that regard. And that is why I need a supply of gems, and I don’t want to eat people even if they are evil.” Palutena replied sadly Palutena ate another gem. While frowning.

“It’s not a question of want, you didn’t want to before and did it anyways. And apparently you did it again after. As you are you’re a danger to yourself and the multiverse. We need a guarantee.” Rin said.

“Well then what do you suggest?” Palutena asked, “ I welcome any ideas at this point that don’t involve imprisoning me in a black hole, inside an unbreakable prison.”

“Off the top of my head you can remove enough aspects to lose it, have some of you magical reserves removed and jarred, I can make you a shock collar that will go off when it detects you trying to absorb anyone, you can have a power seal placed that locks away a lot of that power so you can take it out when you need it then lock it away again...I vote for the shock collar even it you take one of the others. Just in case you lose control again.” Rin ranted. “There, four options off the top of my head.”

“The seal sounds the most practical at least until my kids are able to take up the aspects and relieve my burden,” Palutena then rolled her eyes, “I supposed the shock collar would work as long as it somehow bypasses my resistances to it,” Palutena sighed not liking the prospect but at least willing to do so for others peace of mind.

“Alright, but for this much power a seal in blood runes would be best. It will only be visible when you use it but I guess I’ll ask where you want it?” Rin asked as she summoned some kind of ritual knife.

“On top of my hands,” Palutena held out her hands as fists, Taking the knife, Rin carefully cut into Pally’s flesh and with precision that could shame a brain surgeon, began carving. Both hands took about five minutes to complete and when the blood stained blade was taken away the runes glowed for a moment before disappearing. Palutena shuddered as she felt some of her power drain into her hands, reducing the pressure built up inside her body.

“...I’m sorry...I couldn’t help myself.” Rin said when she was done.

“What did you do!?” Palutena glared at Rin,

“I made them so that to activate them and release your full power… You need to call out, Moon princess power!” Rin answered.

“Why would you do that!?” Palutena turned to a nearby wall and head butt it repeatedly cracking it sending fissures throughout. “Couldn’t you have chosen something less lame than that?” Palutena demanded in frustration.

“The only other password that came to mind was Mary Sue power, activate!” Rin answered,

“Great! Now Luna has a reason to hate me,” Palutena groused as she paced, “Couldn’t you have used something like what Alucard uses, ‘I am the bird of hermes, eating my own wings to keep myself tame.’?” Palutena asked with a raised eyebrow and her hands on her hips.

Rin snorted at this. “Relax I was pulling your tails. I wouldn’t have really stuck you with that… As much as my prank aspect wanted me to.” Rin chuckled. “The real password is through the flow of my blood my power strikes you down!”

Palutena sighed in relief before glaring at Rin for tricking her, “ so what exactly do these seals do, what do i have access to in my sealed form?” Palutena asked composing herself.

“About half of your full reserves and your minor aspects are working about seventy five percent efficiency. When you need to seal your power again after letting loose just say lock.” Rin replied as she worked on a spider silk collar while writing runes in it with Pally’s blood from the knife.

“Kinky,” Palutena remarked lecherously, as she spotted the collar.

“And it uses pain inducement instead of electricity.” Rin said as she worked. Once it was done Rin put it on Palutena’s neck and it appeared to disappear though she could still feel it.

“Okay, now what?”

“Well, you could try to test the collar out if you want...but I wouldn’t recommend it.” Rin shrugged.

“Well no I won't be trying it,” Palutena grimaced uneasily, “anyway I believe you want to sue Dollette or someone, so here,” Palutena responded as she handed Rin a scroll which falls to the ground once opened and rolls down the road.

“...Did you really need to write so big? The list isn’t that long to warrant this much paper. And necromancy and ghosts!? That’s it I’m definitely suing someone!” Rin proclaimed, Palutena giggled at Rin.

“So I was wondering how exactly can you sue someone for sharing the same aspects when they are from a different realm? It also seems counterproductive.” Palutena asked curiously.

“Oh it’s possible! I saw it on the law and order channel on God TV!” Rin proclaimed. “And you can if someone works to make themselves or another too much like you.”

“Yes well it’s a good thing that I am not too much like you then, fox tails aside, they are different colors, like my hair. Not to mention, we only share a few aspects.”

“Those aspects along with the library, the copying my expansion.”

“Hey I love reading, and it’s not my fault my worshipers gave me them. You’re expansion was also unintentional while mine was very much planned as something only regarding my acquaintances/friends and families worlds,” Palutena retorted

“Regardless I did it first and there are enough similarities, so legally I could sue and win. As bad as humans were with lawsuits gods can be worse.” Rin replied.

“But one question, is there legal precedent? And law and order is a fictional drama. Not exactly a reliable source of information.”

“...The judges are literally gods of law…” Rin deadpanned. “This is god TV I”m talking about...no scripts. Just televised cort.”

“So it’s essentially Judge Judy?” Palutena inquired,

“For gods, yes.” Rin nodded.

“So who exactly are you aiming this suit at in probably the most stilted and biased court system in the realms?”

“...Never say that anywhere near a god of law... And the scale that tipped this is that void dweller who made you take that leap against your will. Those aspects you got off camera… was it her doing and was it outside the ring with no connection to the game?” Rin asked.

Palutena rolled her eyes and replayed the events on a large screen for Rin to watch, she watched as Palutena’s body started going haywire, the shifting of her body making Rin feel uncomfortable as she saw magic arc across Palutena’s body like coronal ejections. She watched as the fat from Palutena’s body practically disappeared fueling her magic.

Rin took on a look of concern as blood began to leak out of Pally’s eyes and her mouth, each of her magic elements bursting and expanding outward in shockwaves instead of just arcing over her.

Watching the confusion and despair on Palutena’s face as she conjured a buffet and began demolishing her way through tonnes of food that would put Rin’s Celestia and Luna’s combined feasts to shame, She summoned some gems and bit into them, cleaving through them Rin noted with concern as she watched her drown in her own saliva as she dug into the gems.

It was then that Rin finally saw Dollette appearing on the screen and threw the corpses of Selune, Sun Wukong, Artemis, Horo, Aphrodite, Hades, Kuugen, Asura, Bastet and Freyja down in front of Palutena, who looked up in shock to see Dollette smiling sadly,

Listening intently Rin was silent “you’re feeling hungry right?” Dollette asked Palutena who nodded, and so Dollette gestured to the corpses that were remarkably fresh and preserved, “Bon appetit,” Dollette said before leaving with an unnerving laugh. Palutena's stomach growled loudly, and then she saw Palutena began to start drooling over the corpses unnerving her and licking her lips hungrily. After watching the gorge fest Rin started taking notes.

“Taking advantage of her weakness to not only rip me off but tipping the scales in Pally’s favor… Don’t get me wrong, god’s do it all the time to mortals openly but other gods don’t like to be cheated so when one god does it to another they can get into trouble if caught. Not to mention she killed gods outside the ring and made sure to forcefully keep the aspects from returning to their home plane so that you can absorb them…” Rin said before looking up and thrusting her paw into Palutena’s stomach and pulling out the soul of the buda god from before. “Hey has there been a fox god in their recently? Or hades, lord of the dead? A monkey god perhaps?”

The buddha, stared at his surroundings before he saw Palutena and started screaming in fear,
“M.m.monster! Devil, demon creature birthed by the bleakest womb!”

“Hey! That’s my mother you’re talking about!” Palutena shouted indignantly her hands on her hips glaring at the buddha who squealed in fear hiding behind Rin.

“Don’t worry, I put a powerful collar on her that will let her experience a pain only known in the deepest pits of Hell that goes off if she tries to absorb anyone else.” Rin reassured making the collar become visible again.

“R.r..really?” The buddha suddenly screamed in pain, as the Palutena backed off unnerved by what was happening. Rin seemed surprised before hurriedly summoning a teddy bear and shoving the soul into it.

“Are you okay? Sorry I didn’t realize how unstable your soul was when I pulled you out of her belly.” Rin said to the stuffed toy.

“What w.. w.. Was that? I felt like i was falling to pieces and like something was scrubbing against me hard.” The buddha bear, shivered as he pointed a paw at Palutena, “What did you do to me!?”

Palutena deadpanned, “I ate you and made you apart of me, I theorise that because as a whole we counted as a singular being, you being torn from me made you susceptible to the world’s natural erosion of spirits, ever wonder why, wraiths, ghosts and banshees and other corrupted spirits exist in the first place aside from the grief tied to the soul, the world slowly erodes a spirit away as it is supposed to move onto the afterlife. Although this is purely speculation unfortunately i still haven’t sorted through the mess of memories that I took from the gods associated with the aspects I ended up with.” Palutena lamented and ultimately shrugged, “Rin knows more about the spirits for now.”

“I certainly hope not, if that’s what you think happens with ghost’s in all the forms they branch off in.” Rin said as she gave Palutena a look. “Definitely starting dark magic lessons with basic necromancy.” After that Rin looked down at the buddha teddy she was holding comfortably in her forelegs, gave a humm before reaching out a paw and ramming it back into Palutena’s stomach and prodded around. “...Can’t...grab any more… They’re too far gone.” She said as she pulled her leg out. “Looks like you were the only one that held out long enough for me to save.” Rin said sadly to the teddy.

“So they’re lost, in it?” Buddha Teddy squeaked, Palutena glared at the teddy.

“It is standing right here, besides they aren’t really gone if my mother Ava and her memory is the key mumbo jumbo is correct (although I believe she just stole that from red vs blue). Then once I am fully acclimated to my many aspects, bringing them back as new people is well within the realms of possibility. Not to mention that I hold all of the memories of those I absorb, every sordid moment of their lives, including those of a certain person present, who i recall went to a certain building of ill repute.” Palutena teased the Buddha, “but I digress as long as I live their lives won't have been lost in vain, and there is a hope of restoration.”

“She’s not wrong though I think that memory crap came from someone working under the fallacy of the undistributed middle. Most of my power and concentration is used to keep her light and harmony aspects from kicking my ass when I reach in. They’re still in there. And two of her stolen aspects is life and childbirth according to the list, so she could reincarnate them once she’s got it down.” Rin assured the possessed toy.

“That and death, the afterlife as well, also necromancy. Hey do you think Summer would be amenable to helping me with the whole life aspects thing Rin?” Palutena asked absently as she put on an expression of thought. Rin just gave her a deadpan.

Palutena raised her hands in mock surrender, “I am just asking to speed along this whole process, of fixing things, so that even if i am still holding the aspects I can at least give back the lives I had taken.”

“I guess I can help you with soul and life force manipulation. My aspect’s aren't exactly… Well maybe I can create new life with my monster aspect, I haven’t tried using that one yet. But it would be a learning experience for me to. But other than that…” Rin replied.

“So anyway back to the reason you were ripped out of me, Rin here is building a case against Dollette and wants evidence,” Palutena explained,

“She was aware that Pally here was currently suffering from a condition placed on her by her mother...or at least something in her mother, that has been making her eat people and has been orchestrating things to make sure Pally eats as many gods as she can get her to eat, even hunting down competitors that lost in the games and left with their lives or surrendered and ran away, which she killed to feed pally their bodies and aspects. Even though they were out of the tournament at that time.” Rin explained holding the teddy to face her.

“So what exactly do you need me for?” The Buddha Teddy asked an unsure expression on his face.

“We’ll I’m afraid you won’t be all that useful. I was hoping that in order to make her plans work that void dweller bound the souls of those gods in their corpses and I was fishing for witnesses. So unless you managed to question them, assuming they were there at all, then me pulling you out was just good luck for you.” Rin shrugged.

“A thought occurs, if I have all their memories, wouldn’t I also be able to see their deaths?” Palutena asked, “I mean it means sorting through the mess that is my head at the moment but I am certain that you could find something at least,”

“Ya, not as good as the witnesses being there but it can work,” Rin said. “But only if we can get clear memories soon enough.

“Well in any case we don’t have much real time, unless you have a way to slow or stop time except for us so we can do so, and perhaps some quick and dirty lessons on dark magic, while we’re are at it. And you won't have to worry about death I have a spell Phantasmagoria a dark spell, we can use in conjunction with that time spell, it’s originally a mental torture spell that locks a person into their mind, while they are there time is dilated thousands of hours pass in minutes, people inside can’t die even if killed they just respawn though they still feel pain, the downside is those with dark affinity magic are extra susceptible that it will also affect our real bodies,” Palutena worried out loud.

“That sounds like dark mind magic rather than time magic. And I haven't messed with ether so I’m not good at them. But… My Starswirl knows time magic as he thought that becoming quantum locked would be his ticket to immortality. And perhaps you can help with lessons of the mind. Mental power is a big part of your thing right?” Rin asked the Buddha teddy.

“I don’t know, this is dark magic, we are talking about, and I am very much a light affinity deity, I could help with meditation.”

“I’m not talking about dark magic, I meant general mind lessons and helping Pally get her memories in order, like through mental exercises or meditation?” Rin said.

“I could assuming I could have years to teach it in, the whole implant memories on how to do things was always too crude a way to learn.” the teddy Buddha explained to Rin,

“Years…” Rin said in exasperation before looking off into space for a moment. “We don’t really have time for that. Jingle’s level of time manipulation skills is impressive for a lich but is still at the level of a mortal with no aspects. Would you mind just doing it the crude way with her and teaching me the right way?” She asked the teddy.

“Phantasmagoria is still an option, and pain and death is only if the person is killed by the user in phantasmagoria, I forgot to mention that part. Hang on actually I want to try something absurd,” Palutena explained before her hand glowed purple like the void she punched her fist to the side closing her eyes, she stuck out her tongue off to the side as she moved her arm in the hole as if looking for something, “Ahah! Found it!” Palutena pulled her arm out and on the end of it hanging from the scruff of her uniform was a small blonde hair girl with cerulean eyes, hanging like a cat,

Palutena smiled, “Hello Kitty! I was ab….” the young girl started to angrily flail about as she tried to kick Palutena, “Ei! Don’t call me that! You’re as bad as that eggplant Albero Imma! I bet that bastard put you up to this! Well!?”

“But it’s such a cute name,” The young girl increased her efforts to hit Palutena while Palutena just chuckled, as she used Aiki jutsu to flip Palutena, who was still laughing.

“...Sigh… Why are you making this more complicated than it must be already.” Rin asked. “If you’re still trying to push that spell, there is no way I’m plugging my brain into a body with light and harmony aspects. That would be like asking a mortal to walk into a nuclear reactor and lick the core.”

Palutena rolled her eyes, “okay back to your universe Kitty, “

“I will kill you for this idiot!”

Palutena deadpanned at the girl, “Little Evangeline, I am a literal goddess, you couldn’t kill me even if you wanted to. Anyway, I am sending you back.” Palutena thrust the girl spitting expletives at her into the hole again and closed it.

“Now, unless you want to complain about it, I’ll call my Luna to get a copy of the knowledge you need to get your memories sorted and plant it in your head.” Rin said. “But I’m not skimping on teaching you anything dark, I’m not risking you not getting the full control you’ll need.”

“Okay bring on Lulu, then.. We’ll have so much fun,” Palutena cheered as she smiled, imagining her fun. “So can you use that time spell, then Rin? Time is of the essence.” Palutena asked with a smirk as Rin just facepawed at the music before gesturing to Linkle.

“Just… Deal with your mortal petitioner first. I’ll get Jingles and Lulu started.” Rin sighed.

Meanwhile mortals in the background started spontaneously dancing, Including Link and Theia “huh so that’s how that aspect manifests itself.” Palutena mused to herself outloud as the music caused those nearby to dance.

Rin smacked Palutena upside the head with a tail for doing that to them.

“Hey!” Palutena complained as she held her head.

“How are you doing, Theia? How you holding up?” Linkle asked with concern in her voice.

Theia shrugged, “I’m fine, just a bit bored, so I decided to go to my ice cream happy place, and you were there covered in mint chocolate chip icecream.”

Linkle blushed a very bright red at Theia’s comment.. “Well now..” she said before taking a moment to clear her mind. “Uh.. Goddess Palutena?” Linkle said, her voice still full of nervousness.

Palutena hummed in acknowledgement as she turned to face Linkle

“I’m originally a male and.. I've never been through the whole process of… you know..” Linkle said as she started poking her fingers together.

“Join the club, Linkle,” Palutena and Rin said at the sametime, “well I am actually a poor example seeing as I did but whatever, had eight beautiful foals,” Palutena cooed as she got out the baby photos,

“So uh…” Linkle began. “Goddess Palutena?” he said, just trying to be as respectable as he possible can. “Could it be transferred to Theia’s? I-i mean if it's not too much to ask..”

“Are you sure you want this Linkle? This can be a good learning experience for you.” Palutena advised as she smiled warmly at the young woman.

“Yes, I’m sure.” Linkle said as she held onto Theia’s scalie hand.

“Suit yourself, let me warm up my snapping fingers,” Palutena said as she started doing finger exercises.

Palutena snapped her fingers and Theia doubled over at the sudden addition to her womb, Linkle wrapped her arms around Theia and smiled as Theia wrapped her arms around her.

“D’aww, that’s so cute,” Palutena cooed taking photos. Before she smiled a smile that would put anyone on edge as she sweetly called, “Linkle sweetie, I want to have a word with you.”

Linkle gulped as she moved towards Palutena, “yes Lady Palutena?” she replied nervously, Palutena then grabbed her by the collar of her hood and whispered in a dark tone next to her right ear. “I am happy for you two and you have my blessing but if you hurt my baby, I hurt you! Capisce?” Linkle gulped and nodded furiously. Palutena’s more genuine smile return to her face. This however did not reassure Linkle and in fact put her on edge as Palutena put her down and dusted her off and straightened her collar.

Dealing with a goddess or surviving one would be Linkle’s biggest challenge, she highly doubts there could be anything worse than that, not even the Master Sword would have any benefits here.

“Mom~! Are you done with your overprotective mother bit yet?” Theia complained.

“Yes dear, now I am certain that pit is freaking out and the noble are joining in. So how about you and Linkle go back or if you want to stay and watch me get my arse handed to me on a silver platter, by Gilgamesh. I am sure it wouldn't be an issue, beside that way I get more adorable photo opportunities.” Palutena suggested,

“I think it would be best to return to my own world before any shenanigans acquire.. “ Linkle said with a blush, she would just hate it if she had to experience.. ‘periods’...

Palutena smiled and conjured her temple seed, “here Linkle, Theia will explain when you get there,” Palutena said as she sent them through a portal. With that done Palutena walked back over to Rin.

“Put some pants on…” Rin said making Palutena blink in confusion before finding her standing in front of a man wearing a roman helmet...and nothing else.

“And then worshipers moved in from the side and decimated their forces!” The naked god said, not hearing Rin’s words.

“...Put...some...pants...on…” Rin continued.

“Huh so flava flav became a god of war?” Palutena asked her head tilting slightly in confusion, “Where’s his giant neck clock?” At this the god turned to Palutena.

“I am Mars, not… Oh, it’s you.” He said in disgust.

“Put some pants on.” Rin repeated again.

“Well that’s a fine hello Mars, and Rin what’s the deal your naked? Po-”

“I am!?” Rin exclaimed in a tone or horror before summoning a top hat and putting it on her head and sighing in relief. “My modesty has been saved.”

Palutena gave Rin a deadpanned expression which eventually turned into an eyeroll, “I had no idea you were a prude Rin? I was certain you weren't as bad as pervy dragon girl, Ax and ava but certainly not a prude.”

“Oh I’m not a prude, I just don't want some guy waving his junk in my face.” Rin replies.

Palutena sighed rolling her eyes, clicking her fingers in a very sarcastic fashion, she forced the greek god into a toga and sandals. Mars looked at his feet, “Uh Ah gurl friends I ain’t no sandal wearing nerd!” Mars said swaying his head side to side with a finger up like a sassy black woman, before kicking them off, “Ain’t nogod got time fer dat!” With that he turned to leave, tearing his toga off and tossing it onto Palutena’s head as he went.

The toga incinerated revealing Palutena with a flaming head of hair, which self ignited in her rage.

“You honestly thought I didn’t try that myself.” Rin deadpanned. “Well at least he left, He kept getting way too close and no matter what size I was he would always adjust so that it was right in front of my face.” Rin said while changing her face to a gaging expression.

“Also nice Celestia impression,” Rin complimented.

“Huh?” Palutena blinked in confusion, “Celestia impression?” Rin replied by summoning a mirror and showing Palutena her reflection.

“Getting a bit hot headed.” Rin answered.

As soon as Palutena noticed her rage turned to confusion, causing the flame hair to return to normal. “Huh I guess this is one of those things we can do as a couple or a family, like those cutesy couples outfits.” Palutena remarked absently as she played with her hair, testing whether it was still hot to touch.

“Whatever, let’s just get this over with.” Rin said as she walked Pally over to Luna and the lich. “...Why is the time magic in a blue box?” Rin asked in a deadpan.

“Because Princess Luna insisted that it was the best color.” The lich replied. Sighing Rin walked into the box followed by Luna and the teddy sitting on her back and finally Palutena.

“Offf I thought it’d be bigger on the inside!” Palutena complained at the tight squeeze.

“I just said that I needed to time acceleration zone. I assumed he would understand we needed enough space on his own.” Rin said before channeling magic and shrinking the group so that they had enough room.

“Ah that’s much better!” Palutena sighed in relief as she stretched, “now let’s get this party started! Luna do you know why you are here or do we need to brief you?” Palutena asked while she continued stretching and cracking bones. Luna just replied with a glowing orb that she held in her magic.

“We hath collected the knowledge from the mind of the snuggly one!” Luna proclaimed.

“Very well then, lay it on me,” Palutena replied with a goading gesture at the Princess. Luna walked up to her and placed the orb on Palutena’s head before pushing her nose making the orb sink in.

Palutena smirked as Luna touched her head Palutena clicked her fingers as she said, “see you on the other side, Luna prepare thyself.” And just like that the two of them dropped to the ground asleep. Rin walked up to the two with the teddy on her head.

“From what I understand almost nothing could wake them till it’s done. They’re blocked off from the waking world to keep our distractions...so,” She began before looking up at the teddy. “What do you think? Warm water or paint?”

A shield appeared over them, and a monitor of light appeared, “You must think I am stupid to let myself be vulnerable for you to prank, sorry but you’re denied. See you when I wake up,”

“...Challenge, accepted.”

Located scenic Palutena’s mind,

Luna looked around taking in the vast vistas of bookshelves and books, some of the books on the shelves and a lot more just were just dumped on the floor in stacks. The shelves themselves were made of oak wood stained with a light varnish.

the walls and ceiling were made of clean white marble, the room separated by four fluted columns between the bookshelves and in the distance Luna could hear the sounds of seagulls and the ocean waves against a distant shore.

Around the room were wooden doors at the four cardinal directions, suddenly a pure white Palutena with barely any features appeared in front of Luna, she smiled at Luna and waved, “Welcome, to the main room of Palutena’s I am Lux, as long as you remain helpful I will not eject you from this place,” Lux bowed, “ I am also here to act as guide and or guard depending on the situation There is one room in this place which you must not enter, I will warn you before you do so, so please heed my warnings they are for your safety.” Lux tilted to her left slightly, closing her eyes and smiling.

“We care not to explore. Just point us to the core of memories so that we may place the memories that fare Palutena needs.

Lux’s smile widened, “your looking at it, every room is full to the brim with memories, we couldn’t categorize or shelve them all, hence why a lot of memories are still on the ground. You will need to find a bookshelf with enough space if you want to directly donate them. Otherwise they might get lost in the crowd of unprocessed memories. And before you ask, don’t ask me to directly lead you to such a place, I have no idea myself, I could direct you to rooms but aside from that, you’re on your own.”

“Alright, we’re back.” Luna said as she flew back over to Lux.

Lux grinned predatorily, “and you didn’t find a space right? It pays to listen to people.”

“Actually we did find a few places but every time we tried to fill it something else filled it up.” Luna said as she looked around. “The mind appears to be clinging to a different method.”

“That’s because this mind is in heavy flux at the moment, the whole place is trying to fit thousands of life times worth of memories from many different perspectives, that we haven’t A got enough space and B we are having an issue with the categorization. Palu, could fill millions of books with just information she has categorized. So that is why you need to search or better yet find a way to expand this mental space.” shrugging Lux added, “to continue into each room, you’ll need to convince or find away to calm the emotion.” Lux waved Luna forward as she started to talk again, “If I tell you to run, it doesn’t matter how powerful you think you are, you run as far and as fast as you can.” she warned with a serious expression on her face.

“...By chance does thou be related to a tiny fairy named Navi?” Luna asked as they walked along.

“No Luna, I am not related to Navi, I am related to Palutena, we are sisters by blood,” Lux responded curtly, “Our first stop is Eros, Palutena’s sexual appetite, and home to her memories of a more carnal nature.”

“Getting the most unpleasant one out of the way first? That’s good.” Luna said.

“It depends on your perspective on what constitutes unpleasant.” Lux retorted as she pushed open the north door.”

Luna was immediately assaulted by Images of Celestia, and a collection of mares who Luna did not recognise, not that it mattered to her as her mind had already frozen on the Celestia paraphernalia. In the center of the room spread eagle on a large bed was Celestia.

“It’s going to be one of those nights.” Luna shuddered before walking forward. ‘Squelch.’ “...Whatever it is, don’t look look at it.” Luna said to herself as she continued forward, making sure to Drag that hoof to wipe it on the floor as she went.

Lux chuckled and this seemed to arouse the not Celestia’s attention,

“Oh dear little Lulu, want another threesome with Palu? Like our first time, you kinky mare! I love it!” Eroslestia squealed joyfully, while Luna noticed that Lux was laughing harder than was appropriate

“How we wish we could just dump ice water on thee, but in our experience in dealing with inner horn dogs that would just make thee worse.” Luna grombled.

“Rawr, sounds like fun,” Eroslestia replied huskily and with half lidded eyes as she…

“Purring!? Since when doth mine sister pur!?” Luna complained at the absurdity. “...Why are we even surprised? This isn’t even our real sister.”

“Pffft you’d be surprised Lulu, what Celestia will do given the right stimulus,” Lux interjected, “still we are here to help organise and sort out this world that is my big sister’s mind.“

“Oh your here to clean up this mess? It is exceedingly difficult to parse anything even vaguely erotic when things that aren’t even erotic are in here.” Erolestia complained as she suddenly turned serious for once.

With a sigh Luna’s horn lit up and she was suddenly wearing a hazmat suit and holding a large pair of tongs.

“Tis times like this we hate our job.” Luna said as she used her tongs to pick up a slimy pair of panties. “Ya, we’re going to need reinforcements.” With that there was a flash of Luna’s magic as several tiny Luna’s appeared in tiny hazmat suits. Looking around, instead of getting to work they pulled out little signs and started a protest.

“Well if you do your job well enough here, Palutena is likely to reward you for doing so, she is a very quid pro quo kinda gal, sometimes she just likes helping ponies. For no other reason than that she can.” Lux informed with a smile. The tiny Luna’s looked around before huddling and whispering to each other. Once they were done one flew forward.

“We demand our own bodies!”

“... Thou art figments of our imagination. What would thou do in the real world?” Luna asked.

“What all real ponies do! Play all day!”

“Oh this is the mirror pool all over again and that hasn’t even happened yet, you fillies realise that if you are real, while you could play, you would also have to work and do chores? Granted if your okay with that Palutena could give you life of your own, maybe even recycle some of the souls she absorbed and make you ‘real’ ponies of course you would start out as foals.“Lux shrugged whilst explaining to the figments.

“Nay! Mares just want to have fun!”

“Pfft you have a Cyndi Lauper in your world Lulu?” Lux asked curiously

“Who?” Luna asked before shaking her head. “How about this? You can get the same deal the clone Pinkie's got and be turned into toys. That way you can spend thy entire life playing?” Luna asked the tiny hers who huddled once again.

“Do we get our own places to live?”

“Thou shalt each have thy own doll house!” Luna proclaimed. The little Lunas looked at each other and shot off around the room and started picking things up while chanting ‘ew ew ew ew’ while they worked.

Lux deadpanned at the simple minded mini Luna’s

“We made them just for this so we didn’t give them much upstairs.” Luna whispered to Lux.

Lux shrugged, “well anyway, let’s hope the rest of her inner selves are this easy to deal with.” They were distracted when one of the mini Lunas gave off a squeak of surprise as Erolestia grabbed her while licking her lips at the tiny Luna. The other Lunas quickly rushed to her aid and saved their sister by overwhelming the larger mare with numbers, binding her in many pink fuzzy handcuffs.

“Oh my dear Lulu, these mini yous are adorable!” Erolestia squealed in delight. as she was overwhelmed by the clones.

“Indeed we are quite adorable… in fact.” After saying that the little Luna’s became pudgier and their eyes became larger, making them look like baby Woonas instead of adult Lunas.

Erolestia squealed even louder as she started to cuddle the Woonas, though for a non sexual reason.”

An unknown but significant amount of time passed as the mini Luna’s finished their work, they all returned to their progenitor in hopes of reward.

“A thought occurs, if you made the Tantabus and Nightmare moon (sort of) then wouldn’t that mean that you are their mother?” Lux said aloud missing the look of abject horror on Luna’s face.

“No! First we didn’t make the nightmare! It is a parasitic creature that entered our body! And Tantibus isn’t even self aware!” Luna rejected as she banished the filthy suits on the woonas as they left the room. “Anyways, where to next?”

“Let’s go to one of the centre rooms choose left or right please,” Lux informed as the mini Luna’s filled the centre room shelving loose books or reorganising them. Luna just walked up to the door on the left and pushed it open.

Luna was met with a sight that both perplexed her and worried her slightly, the avatar this time was two separate individuals surrounded by magical experiments and even more books. The shorter of the two was a Twilight sparkle as an alicorn and Palutena herself or at least she thought it was she didn’t look anything like her current form.

“Wouldst thou closeth the door didst thine mother raise thee in a stable!?” came the cool and emotionless response of the new Palutena, while the younger alicorn rubbed the back of her head, “Apologies for her, we are the representations of Palutena’s Logic and the paths her magical research takes I am the more equinarian side, while this Palutena here is the clinical and more impersonal path.”

“And just like that, thou art our favorite!” Luna said as she gestured to the Twilight. “We hath come to clean!” She cried out as the woonas flew into the room and started picking up anything they found laying around on the floor.

“Ah that’s good to hear, ever since her release we have been flooded with random research projects and we don’t have the mare power so to speak,” the young Twilight replied sighing in relief.

“For once mine young protege, we art in agreement,” Palutena replied pushing up her glasses by the bridge.

Luna frowned, “Why dost thee speaketh in such a refined and proper manner when thine true self speaketh in the modern way?”

“Because when we wert born, we wert created at a time the old tongue was still prominent, thou hadst been banished but a month since we wert created. During that time we too wert like mine naive protege helping ponies where we couldst, then we wert encased in stone with little to no physical contact or intercourse with anypony. To stave off insanity I went into full time magical and purely clinical research.” Palutena replied curtly her arms crossed under her generous bust.

“These ideas are all stupid. Where do we put them?” A woona asked as she walked over with several files on her back. Luna looked at the top one with a cocked eyebrow.

“The Hooflonger?” Luna asked.

“It is a really long sandwich filled with deli meats, veg and salad(usually),” Twilight explained looking awkwardly off to the side not looking at Luna, “so it would go somewhere under food or recipes or cooking.”

“We see… and the automatic tummy rubber was a thing because?” Luna asked.

“We had a thousand years to waste, so we also ran out of things to create and who doesn’t like tummy rubs, hang on that’s dated recently,” Twilight growled, scowling, “Kuu! We told you we weren’t going to waste time on that!” Luna noted off in the corner a nine tailed fox girl in a lab coat and seemed to act like a ditzy airheaded mare, “But tummy rubs are awesome!” The fox girl whined in response, literally whined like a real canine.

“Edible pencil erasers?” Luna asked.

Twilight closed her eyes and rubbed the back of her neck with her right hoof embarrassedly, “that? Ahah… is my one. I kind of like to nibble on the end of my pencils and graphite is bleh.”

“Decorative wigs for pets…” Luna deadpanned.

“That was not one of ours,” all three logic avatars replied in unison, “remember Luna, we assimilated entire lifetimes of memories from ponies or other sapients and that includes insipid ideas like that,” Twilight groaned as she rolled her eyes.

“Well we guess we can help you go over the questionable looking ones to weed out the trash.” Luna said as she picked up another one and after looking at it destroyed it on the spot. “Soundproof baby cage.” She said in an angry snort.

“That wouldst be most helpful most helpful,” even Palutena glared at that idea, despite her cold personality. “Soundproof baby cage, if i ever find out who thought up that idea, I will personally see fit that he ends up in tartarus,” she continued with more venom and emotion in her voice than normal.

This round took a bit longer as there was a lot of really stupid ideas that came in with the new souls but after it was all done the lab looked clean and up to their standards.

“Oh thank you Luna, that helped alot,” The alicorn Twilight kissed Luna on the lips surprising and confusing the mare.

“Sorry about her, she is based off the real Twilight and our Twilight has a severe crush/love/dating our version of you.” Palutena apologised for the her younger protege.

“‘Tis quite alright.” Luna waved it off. “So long as it isn’t in the form of our sister or our aunty we’re fine.”

“Next room! Next room!” One of the woonas chanted.

“Bodies! Bodies!” Another cheered.

Lux smirked at their enthusiasm, “very well, follow me.” Lux said as she went directly over to the otherside. All but one of the woonas followed, the last one flew up to the fox girl and whispered in her ear and the fox girl nodded and gave her a copy of the automatic tummy ruber. Happy with her prize the woona found the others at the next door, this door was made of rusted iron and covered in spikes, as they entered the room Luna noted that the room was a large cavernous cave with a narrow path in front of them that led to a circular rocky platform surrounded by a moat of molten lava.

“...Hello? Maid service!” Luna called out.

Off to the side was another two narrow paths one chained closed and the other looking fairly regular despite the rest of the rooms theme.

In the center of the room sitting in a high back chair made of leather, that made Luna a bit nauseous, in the chair sat Palutena wearing long red coat, a waist coat and dress shirt with the top five buttons undone to reveal her cleavage with a red cravat disappearing between her breasts, she wore long black pants, white gloves with red pentacle seals on the back, and a red wide brimmed fedora.

“We are Luna and we are here to clean… up” Luna said looking around uncertainly.

“And I am Carmen Sandiego, guess where i am?” Palutena responded with a shit eating grin and clapping her hands together.

Luna blinked at this. “Our aunty used to use this game to teach our sister and I geography when we were foals.” She said aloud.

“Aww isn’t that cute,” Palutena said as she stood up, “Welcome to my realm I am Bloodlust.”

Another Palutena showed up next to Luna this time dressed in a yellow police girl uniform that accentuated her curves, “I am justice,” the new Palutena greeted, a Third appeared to her left side, wearing a catholic priest's smock, “I am Judgement,” and fourth appeared behind Luna wearing a butler's uniform, a pair of glasses and a gloves holding garrott wires, “ I am pragmatism.” a fifth appeared in front of him, in the form of a catgirl in ss uniform, “I am chaos,”

And a sixth appeared in the centre of the room next to Bloodlust, wearing palutena’s normal outfit, “I am compassion and mercy, and” she Mercy said before being joined in unison, “Together we are combat and aggression.”

“...Okay, that’s nice and all. So can we help clean this place up of the clutter now?” Luna asked.

“You could, one of these rooms contains the memories you’re after, choose,” Bloodlust explained with a smile.

“Make sure you choose correctly,” Judgement added,

“Otherwise, you’ll have a bad time,” Pragmatism continued,

“...Why doth this remind us of that one no win trick riddle with the two guardians guarding two doors and both claiming that one only tells lies and one always tells truths.” Luna groaned as she looked from door to door.

“We aren’t lying, and those twins were assholes” Bloodlust responded, with a growl. Luna just looked at each door again and was about to answer when one of the woonas started pushing open the chained door.

“Dis one! It looks too suspicious!” The little woona proclaimed.

“Nay! Leave that door be!” Luna cried out as she reached out a hoof towards the woona.

Mercy closed her eyes solemnly, “You have chosen wisely,”

“Yay!” The woona cheered as she flew in with the rest of the woonas while Luna stood there with an eye twitch.

“If aunty Rin ever finds out about this it shall torment us for years.” Luna said before following the mini hers into the room.

Bloodlust snickered at Luna’s response, “The ol’ bait and switch” Luna didn’t respond as she and her mini hers got to work cleaning up the mess.

A while later they found themselves in front of the door to the next room to clean. The woona who guest the door before was happily munching on a cookie.

“The final room, is the worst, it is a room filled with every negative emotion and negative memory that Palutena holds,” Lux explains as she pushes into the next room opened to an city, it was perpetually raining and stormclouds sounded thunder rumbling.

In the middle of the street Luna saw a little girl crying in the middle of the road as faceless masses passed her, the child had green hair and wore a simple white dress. A black shade lunged at her monstrous in appearance as she sobbed.

Luna quickle used her magic to pull the girl over to her and setting the girl down on her back, ready to defend her against the shade.

“Huh, who are you?” the little girl asked, when Luna turned to see the child, she saw that the child was shifting shapes and never had a singular form, making it difficult to discern her identity.

“We are Luna and the woonas! And our sidekick Lux.” Luna proclaimed.

Lux deadpanned at Luna for the sidekick comment.

“Now sit tight little one! Grab a woona to snuggle and let us handle this bully!” Luna said as a woona sat in front of the girl on Luna’s back. Its forelegs held out to the child as it gave her the puppy eyes.

The child giggled as she played with the little Woona, booping the Woona on the nose.

When the shade came at them Luna summoned up a giant hammer which she brought down on it. The shade dispersed, the child turned to Luna, “that is only a temporary victory,”

“Who are you?” Luna asked, causing the child to frown,

“I don’t know who I am, or what I am, or who I was,” the child responded sadly, “Do you know who I am?” the child asked hopefully.

“Apologies little one. But we wouldst need more information before figuring that out.” Luna apologized as several woonas flew out and started cleaning the area around Luna, none going too far from the others.

“It’s okay, I didn’t expect that you would, if i can’t figure myself out. How can anypony else?” the child replied forlornly.

“Just give us some time, we have been into many minds over thousands of years.” Luna tried to reassure.

“Okay,” she sniffed, sadly

“Let us start with the break down. What is it you have been doing around here and like to do?” Luna asked.

“Crying, running from those shades, trying to figure out who I am. I haven’t been able to stop my face changing.” she sighed dejectedly.

“Face changing?” Luna asked.

“Yes,” she said pointing to her changing face that continued to shift forms constantly.

“Hmm, definitely not the inner child. How doth thy feel about lying or puzzles?” Luna asked.

The child Shrugs,”I don’t mind them, but honestly i don’t love them,” the child responded.

“”Perhaps thou art self reflection or sense of one's own identity?” Luna asked.

“The second one sounds like it might be right it sounds familiar at least,” the child said unsure, “but if i am what does my state say about miss Palutena?” the child asked.

“As far as we know she hath not amnesia, so most common causes of this state would be the true pon- er person, being extremely unsure of who they are, like, thinking themselves a monster? Though to be honest this doth be the first time we have been in a soul eater so that may also be a cause for all we know.” Luna guessed.

The child frowned, “well follow me, I will show you where i sleep.” the child explained as she escorted Luna there.

After a while they made their way into a large square, where they faced a huge citadel in the centre of the city, the child ran up the steps to the double doors and pushing in one of the front ornate double doors, inside the citadel, shelves filled with books reaching the top of the building and magic flowing around the place surged harmlessly inside it. The sounds of an angelic choir echoed inside.

“This is where i live, Luna. Don’t worry about the lights floating about they tickle and disappear when they touch me and then I glow.” she assured Luna innocently. As she ran about the room demonstrating for her.

“Right.” Lina said as she ducked the light that got to close before taking the time to look around. Carefully watching the floating lights. “Their movements are…” Narrowing her eyes Luna reached out to one and gave it a mental nudge to test for intelligence.

Luna felt an almost completely blank void with fragments of memories floating about, as a result of the spell.

“Those memories appear to be coming from a male… are those ghosts?” Luna asked as she picked up flashes. With narrowed eyes she bound the light in a bubble and brought it over, looking through each image that she could make out.

Lux appeared, “ah you have found this place,” Lux grimaced uncomfortably, “I wouldn’t try to stop this, this absorption must take place for there to be any chance of them coming back reborn,” Lux explained seriously.

“Wait,” Luna said in surprise. “These are souls? So does that make this one Hades? Most of the images are of the dead.” Luna said as she checked it over.

“Yes, they are and maybe Palutena has assimilated lots of beings, male, female, griffon, minotaur, yak. In the thousands, gods and demigods.”

“We get thy point.” Luna said as she floated the soul over to the girl and let it bump into her back and get absorbed.

“It maybe distasteful, neither of us chose this power or what caused this problem in the first place,” Lux shook her head sadly.

“We should certainly hope not.” Luna said as the woonas moved in.

“Area cleaned!” It proclaimed with a salute. Luna just nodded before looking back to Lux.

“Just so long as they’re reincarnated properly.” Luna said.

“That is the plan, but you know how plans go.” Lux said as the child chased the lights.

“First plan never stands up to the enemy?” Luna asked. “Aunty Rin always said that one should never have any less than five backup plans.”

“That is correct, always have multiple back ups or failing that don’t cling rigidly to it if it’s not working.” Lux responded with a smile.

“Yes well, now that we’re all cleaned up? Shall we set the memories that we came here to plant?” Luna asked as she waved about the glowing orb ohe brought with her.

“Yes well shall, they are important, so best put them somewhere in the core room.” Lux suggested,

One of the woonas looked back at the child, “what about her?”

“We can’t do anything for her, she is the result of Palutena practically overwriting Jean, that is what is left of Jean, if she is lucky she might regain her past self, but if that happens I don’t want to be anywhere near her when that happens, metaphorically speaking,” Lux explained to the Lunar Princess, “no one will come out of that unscathed.” she continued seriously.

Luna looked back at the girl with an unreadable expression before walking back towards the core in deep contemplation. Once they were back at where they started it didn’t take long for Luna to find an empty spot and plant the knowledge.

“Well, looks like this is it. We bid thee farewell good Lux, thou where a fine sidekick!” Luna said as she extended a hoof.

Lux rolled her eyes but took her hoof and shook it.

“Now come my little woonas!” Luna said as she enveloped them all in individual bubbles and they all vanished in a bright flash of light.

When the two woke up with Luna having magic bubbles surrounding her both goddesses crinkled their nose at the smell.

“You should have just asked me not to prank you…” Rin’s voice carried through the barrier. “But you challenged me by placing a barrier and taunting me with that message!” Looking over they say a trembling Rin clutching the teddy. “You protected from spells and normal items yes… BUT NOT SCIENCE!” Rin cackled madly. “Sound still gets through! Brown noise bitch! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“...Next time just ask her not to prank thee.” Luna groaned as she covered her nose.
Palutena groaned and clicked her fingers removing the smell and the offending items and cleaning herself up. Oh it is so on! Rin you won’t know when, and you won’t know how. But I will get you back for this! Palutena swore internally. Luna gets up and taps on the barrier to get out. Once Palutena drops the shield Luna walks over to Rin, sticks her hoof in her own mouth and then uses it to give the cackling fox a wet willy.

“Whgoooooooo” Rin shuddered at the sensation before looking around. “What happened?”

“Thou went into prank mania again.” Luna said.

“Oh… what did I do?” Rin asked.

“Brown noise,” Palutena said as she glared at the fox,

“Oh, good. It was nothing bad.” Rin said in relief.

“Speak for yourself, Rin I think something bad did happen, but aside from that Luna almost triggered my berserk state,” Palutena commented as she gave Luna a sideways glance.

“Okay I want full details. And what's with all the bubbles?” At that Luna explained everything except for the two doors which Palutena filled in.

“Could we have saved them?” Luna asked Rin.

“To do what? All I could have done for them is send them on their way to their afterlife. And in that state it would have been pointless. Best to just let them reincarnate.” Rin said with a dismissive wave. “Now as for these Woonas… Let me see them. They're just minds, more or less, with no souls so necromancy is out. But maybe if I change my games aspect?”

“They unionised it was unexpected to be honest,” Palutena commented on the absurdity of it all.

Once Rin had one of the orbs she channeled the dollification spell with power from her aspect through the bubble which grew and hardened.

“Ummm…” Rin said as she looked the orb over before it shook and cracked like an egg before and adorable Woona plushie stuck her head out. Said plush looked around with a thoughtful hum, her mouth twisting in Kermit the frog style before giving out a happy squeal and jumping out of the egg and running around like a baby pinkie on a shugar rush. With a nod Rin just got to work on the rest of them.

“So mumma Luna what are you going to do with your little Woonas?” Palutena asked with sincere curiosity evident in her voice as she inspected the brood.

“P.s my definition of one's children isn’t so strict as to only apply to blood relations or even natural reproduction. And since you brought them into the world, you are ultimately responsible for them.” Palutena added before the Lunar princess could deny it.

“Nore ours, but they have no souls and they already agreed to being toys.” Luna waved dismissively.

“Ummm.” Rin said as she examined the last one.

“What?” Luna asked.

“About that no souls thing.” Rin said and just like that Luna’s heart jumped up into her throat.

“Wa! But thou hast said it thyself! They had no souls so thou couldst not use thy necromancy to bind them to a toy form!” Luna proclaimed.

“Ya, about that. I used godly powers with the intent to grant their wish to live as toys… looks like the live part was emphasised. Though I don’t think it was games that did that.” Rin said while rubbing the back of her head with a paw.

“Ah gotta love semantics, when it comes to magic or supernatural power,” Palutena commented with a smirk. “Be careful what you wish for an all that jazz,”

“I- but- I… Our children shall not be toys!” Luna proclaimed as she pulled all of the Woonas in and hugged them.

“No fare! Thou hast pwomast!” One of the Woonas protested as they all struggled to get free.

Palutena turned to Luna and rubbed her hands together, “through the flow of my blood my power strikes you down.” the blood runes on her hands glowed and the released power started leaking outside of her body.

Palutena clapped her hands together creating a wide emerald green magic circle to appear surrounding us all, the Woonas were lifted up into the air hovering above the circle, as Luna and Rin watch the latter much further away that was absolutely necessary and wearing a helmet.

Waves and wisps of green life energy coalesced into a large but spiralling, gentle breeze, The Woonas bodies shifted and as they did their eyes blinked in confusion, and began exploring their new bodies as foals would, Palutena, pumped their tiny bodies with the magic found in earth ponies, pegasi and unicorns as well as the magic behind cutie marks. The newborn foals gently fell back to the ground as the circle and life energy ceased.

“Okay, Rin come and inspect my work!” Palutena called to the very paranoid kitsune. Rin walked over and gave one of them a quick, gentle poke. When nothing happened she picked the foal up and gave her a look around.

“Good, healthy bone structure and blood. Life force is strong, breathing is good.” She continued to rant off as she went from child to child. “Every last one of them is a perfectly healthy rugrat.” Rin said with a nod. “Still mortal without their own aspects but with the family helping we can get them those when they’re old enough to have them. Now as for my professional medical opinion. Luna, you are forbidden to feed them anything you’ve made yourself.”

Palutena gained a look of epiphany and held her fist in her hand as if she had just figured something out.

Palutena strode up to Luna and laid her forehead on hers, Luna felt a jolt of information being sent into her mind. Palutena leant back and smirked before glowing and holding her and with a small flash, Luna felt her hindquarters shift down under a new weight underneath her undercarriage.

“There we go Luna, I am sure Lux informed you of my quid pro quo attitude, well this is my side. I just for a lack of a better term downloaded several lifetimes worth of cooking knowledge and got your body ready for your new foals so to speak.” Palutena returned to Rin with a smile she wasn’t sure she liked,

“Now Pally, it was entirely your fault for challenging my aspect. You should know how that is for us. If you had just asked me not to I would have occupied my time playing games instead.” Rin said as she backpedaled. “I’m still your meal ticket! You need me to supply you with gems.” Rin said nervously. Palutena raised an eyebrow at her,

“Oh don’t worry Rin, “ Palutena assured her with her hand glowing, Rin felt herself increase in size, her fore paws shift into more slender fingers, with an ‘oaf’ she noticed a new heavy weight on her chest as her hind paws lengthened and turned plantigrade.

Rin shakily stood up and waved her hand across her face to glare up at Palutena, as she fought to stay balanced in her new form. Her nine tails flowing down behind her framing her long legs, her fox ears twitched atop her head in irritation, Rin didn’t have anytime to relax or rebuke Palutena, as her more humanoid form was wrapped in pink cloth, It looked like a barbie ball gown. The dress part was poofed out instead of dropping straight down and what few parts weren't covered with frills had pretty flower patterns sewn in. The mid section also had vine like pattern that led to roses.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It’s so frilly! Oh gods is that pink glitter!” Rin wailed.

“Oh don’t get your tails in a bunch,” Palutena responded with a smirk, while taking a photo with her cell, “it will wear off… eventually,” She added as she helped her stay balanced.

Luna snickered at Rin’s predicament and brought out a old camera of her own.

“Luna shield your kids!” Rin shouted and started building up power. Eyes widening Luna erected the strongest barrier she could around her foals.

Palutena encased herself in a shield of light and then a shield of Harmony magic.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Rin shouted and darkness erupted outwards and bashed against the shields. “Ahahahahahahahahaha!” Rin laughed as the darkness cleared away and she looked up at her raised paw and sat back on her hunches. “Free! Free! I’m…” Rin looked down and saw that despite being normal shaped again she was still wearing the frilly abomination. “AHHHH!” She shouted as she tried to terr it apart with her claws to no avail.

“Drama queen much, Rin it’s just a dress,” Palutena remarked at Rin’s exaggeration

“It’s so frilly I’m gonna die!” Rin cried out before she appeared to vanish into thin air but from the sounds of her struggling it was clear she was just hiding with an invisibility spell. After a while Rin stopped struggling and let off an angry dog like growl.

“Let’s just get you lessons over with.” Rin’s voice rang out.

“Okay,” Palutena replied enthusiastically.

“Alright so let’s start with necromancy like I said. Though memory is important souls-” And so on it went, for months inside the box Rin taught as much as she could with the time allotted. One day during lessons the now giant door opened wide and the massive, to them, lich looked down at them.

“You wanted me to tell you when Palutena’s match was coming up?” The lich asked.

“Well looks like we’re out of time class. We’ll just have to pick up where we left off another time, but I’m confident you now know enough to use the dark magic you know safely and efficiently...enough.” Rin said slowly and cautiously.

“Well I best get going then, thanks for the help Rin,” Palutena thanked her, during their time together, they also helped Luna who had spent the time inside bonding with her new offspring with the aid of Rin and Palutena who were more versed in motherhood. “So what are you going to do when you get back home Luna? That is if you are leaving?” Palutena asked making small talk.

“We are not yet sure how to explain this to our sister. ‘Oh Tia, we have become a mother! And aunty Rin is the father!” Luna said sarcastically.

“How about telling her the truth? You know without the whole Rin is the father part that would lead to misunderstanding,” Palutena commented

“We know, that was meant to be a joke.” Luna said before turning to Rin. “We expected thy friends to have more of a sense of humor.”

“I do, “ Palutena commented, leaving out the rest of that sentence, “anyway, take care of yourselves and farewell.” Palutena said as she left for the arena.

“Goodbye! We shall use one of the new recipes you gave us to send you some goodies!” Luna said as she waved to Palutena.

“Oh that sounds great!” now that you can actually cook without making it sentient. Palutena didn’t say.

“Now we have been waiting too long in a place with no kitchen! Come our little ones, thou can help mommy make cookies!” Luna said as she picked up all twenty foals in her magic and flew off.

Meanwhile back in Rin’s world, Celestia was doing paperwork, when suddenly a shiver went down her spine, despite the fireplace burning brightly in the room. Celestia looked around in confusion and a sense of dread that worried her.
