I hummed as I walked through the Everfree, deciding to check the area out. As I walked, I had an idea, deciding to summon a small blaster, it was a toy really, I put it on a small chain I had found.

“❄︎⚐︎ 💧︎🕆︎💣︎💣︎⚐︎☠︎ ❄︎☟︎☜︎ 💣︎✌︎☠︎ 🕈︎☟︎⚐︎ 💧︎🏱︎☜︎✌︎😐︎💧︎ ✋︎☠︎ ☟︎✌︎☠︎👎︎💧︎📪︎ 🏱︎⚐︎🕆︎☼︎ 🏱︎⚐︎🕈︎☜︎☼︎ ✋︎☠︎❄︎⚐︎ ❄︎☟︎✋︎💧︎ 👌︎☹︎✌︎💧︎❄︎☜︎☼︎ ❄︎☟︎✌︎❄︎ ☟︎☜︎ 👍︎⚐︎💣︎💣︎✌︎☠︎👎︎💧︎” I said in a strange language, doing so purely so I could mess with whoever got this. Satisfied, I opened a hole in reality, tossing the token into the void before closing the hole.

Almost immediately, I felt a pulling sensation as I was summoned.

??? PoV

I sat in the middle of the field panting after my training. I looked up to see Twilight over me with two cups.

“Thought I should bring this.” she said as she lowered the cup down to me.

“Thanks.” I said as I took it. As I drink it I noticed that she was wearing workout clothes. “What's with the clothes?”

“Oh Rainbow said that I was looking a bit chubby in some places so I thought I’d work out a bit to lose it.” she said. I gave her a once over and saw that she didn't look any different.

“I don't know about her but you look great as is.” I said. She blushed a bit and looked away.

“Her heart rate spiked there.” Beta said. “Trying to woo her?”

“S-shut up you.” I snapped. Twilight looked at me for a moment before brushing it to the back of her mind. We chatted for a bit before something landed near me, I looked and saw a small toy on a chain that was there. I blinked before I reach over and picked it up and a message was heard.

“❄︎⚐︎ 💧︎🕆︎💣︎💣︎⚐︎☠︎ ❄︎☟︎☜︎ 💣︎✌︎☠︎ 🕈︎☟︎⚐︎ 💧︎🏱︎☜︎✌︎😐︎💧︎ ✋︎☠︎ ☟︎✌︎☠︎👎︎💧︎📪︎ 🏱︎⚐︎🕆︎☼︎ 🏱︎⚐︎🕈︎☜︎☼︎ ✋︎☠︎❄︎⚐︎ ❄︎☟︎✋︎💧︎ 👌︎☹︎✌︎💧︎❄︎☜︎☼︎ ❄︎☟︎✌︎❄︎ ☟︎☜︎ 👍︎⚐︎💣︎💣︎✌︎☠︎👎︎💧︎” Was what I heard, and it hurt my head trying to understand it.

“Ow…” I said as I held my head. The hell was that about?

“You okay?” Twilight asked worried.

“Just an headache.” I said as I felt it get warm. The small strange skull on the chain started to glow, making me ‘drop’ it in surprise.

The strange skull stayed in the air, floating, the chain hanging off of it as the skull fired what appeared to be a small white beam onto the air, making a hole in reality that hurt to look at.

From the hole, a figure appeared, it calmly walking out with its hands behind its back. The two of us stared at the figure for a few moments in silence.

“Greetings.” The figure said calmly as it observed us. “Why was I summoned?”

“I have no idea.” I said as I looked at the token. “Just picked it up and it did it's thing.”

“Strange.” The figure said, frowning. “Oh well, nothing that can be done about it now, do you need assistance in anything while I am here?”

“Umm…” was all I said.

“You know, he looks a lot like Greg.” Twilight pointed out. I tilted my head a bit and blinked.

“Hey, you’re right he does… only with eyes and nose.” I said.

“Oh, I have… neglected to introduce myself, I am Gaster.” The now name Gaster said, holding a hand out for them to shake. I shook his hand as I thought about his name.

“Gaster… oh… OH! You mean from Undertale!?!” I asked him.

“That is correct.” Gaster said, an amused smirk on his face.

“Question, Gaster from the game or from somewhere else.” I asked him.

“Mostly from an AU I believe was called ‘Glitchtale’.” He said.

“Sweet~” I said with a smile.

“I say mostly because I am… decently more powerful than that version because I have… acquired a power boost recently.” He continued.

“Cool.” was all I said. Twilight just chuckled at me.

“You’re so calm meeting someone new.” she said with a smile. I just shrugged.

“Now, is there anything that you two needed? I would like to accomplish something before I go.” He said.

“Umm…” I said as I thought about it. “Do you want to do something here?”

“What are the current ‘problems’ in this world?” Gaster asked simply. “Perhaps I could assist with one of those?”

“None that I know about.” I said. “I just finished up training so if there was I don’t know it.”

As I said that a group of trees started to glow a bit. We looked at it and they turned into gem trees.

“Ummm… what?” was all I said as I looked at them.

“Interesting.” Gaster said, walking closer to study the trees. I knocked on one of the trees, it feels like a gem. Beta appeared over my shoulder and went to scan the trees.

“Interesting, the bio structure of the tree as completely changed to that of a gem.” he said.

“I wonder what magic caused this?” Gaster mused. “I did not detect any… chaos at all, so it couldn’t be that.”

“I have no idea.” I said as I looked over at the town and saw other things getting changed into other stuff. “But I have a bad feeling, come on.”

“This will be very interesting.” Gaster commented as he walked over to me. “I can feel something… dark about this magic, for whatever reason, I could try to pinpoint it’s source if you wish.”

“Okay, while you do that I’ll follow the craziness to it.” I said as I turned and walked towards the town. On the way I saw what looks like a fancy party with Pinkie standing in it, surprised and speechless. I pulled my phone out and took a picture of this and kept going.

“Why did you do that?” Beta asked.

“Pinkie was speechless, it’s a rare thing here.” I said simply.

Gaster PoV

I silently hummed to myself as I floated over this universe’ version of ponyville, looking for form of pattern in how the dark magic was being used. Seeing one, I teleported to where I felt the one who summoned me was.

“I believe I know where they will strike next.” I said as I appeared next to them. What I saw was her holding her arms up as the ground rose up and stopped some fancy carts that were about to run over some anthro ponies.

“Little help.” She asked. I simply summoned three of my hands in their teal modes, similar colored strings wrapping around the carts wheels and stopping them in their tracks. As the others were out of harm's way Taliyah looked over at me. “You know where the next hit is going to be?”

“Yes, I know a shortcut.” I said, grabbing her shoulder and teleporting us over to the next area. As we get there I saw her turn green and fall forward, groaning.

“Warn… me...next… time…” she groaned.

“You should have known that phrase if you had played the game from my son.” I said with my equivalent of a raised eyebrow.

“What…?” she asked as she got up, a little less green.

“He says that before teleporting himself and Frisk to Grillbys if you talk to him in at the station just before waterfall.” I clarified. She nodded as she looks around.

“So now we wait?” she asked.

“I believe our target is over there.” I said, pointing to a pony and dragon I saw in the distance. She looked over to where I was pointing.

“Hey, that’s Rarity and Spike what are they doing?” she asked as she walked forward before what looked like a stone surfboard rose up under her and she surfed over to them.

I simply chose to teleport over, deciding to see how this would play out. I saw Spike holding a book behind him as he was trying to walk away from Rarity, whose eyes and horn was glowing lime green. She was looking at him funny until some owl flew down and distracted her, to which Spike… moved to eat the book.

I simply quickly moved a pair of hands over to him, taking the book and hiding it behind my back, wishing to study it later.

“Hey!” I heard Rarity yell. I saw her looking at me with green eyes. “Give me my book back.”

“No.” I said simply. She growled at me as her magic started to form a large beast like thing behind her. This lasted for a second until something wrapped around her horn which shocked her as her magic disappeared.

“Magic canceling rings, made out of twenty percent quartz, thirty percent enchantments, and fifty percent gold alloy.” I heard a voice said. I looked back and saw Taliyah walking up to me with that robot eye floating over her head.

“Well, it’s a good thing she made the streets out of gold than.” Taliyah said as she flex her hand a few times. “Working with metal is different than rock and stones.”

“What kind of magic is that ring attuned to?” I asked. As I said that I saw said ring flew past us and that green being was back.

“Well… that didn’t work…” Taliyah said. She looked up at the monster for a moment. “And what in the hell is that?!”

“I do not know.” I said, summoning two blasters to my sides. “It will not be difficult to defeat.”

The being looked over at me and it’s eyes flashed, making one of the same blaster only more… flashy. It fired at us but the gold ground rose up to block it.

“You were saying?” Taliyah said as she made a gold spike and threw it at it, only for it to go through it. “Crap!”

I hummed in thought, turning the blasters to Rarity and letting them loose. Diamonds appeared in front of her, blocking the shots.

“The hell are you doing!” she yelled at me.

“You will see.” I said calmly, summoning blasters around Rarity and letting them fire. More diamonds formed around her and blocked the blasts.

“Look I don’t know what you’re doing but she’s my friend and I’m not going to-” she was cut off as her outfit was changed to a solid gold dress… she fell onto the ground at the weight. “Oww.”

I simply rolled my eyes, adding to the intensity of my blasts as I read the spell in the book. Out of my eyes I saw one of it’s flashy blasters fired at me.

I summoned one of my hands in it’s purple mode, it firing a blast that stopped the flashy one in its tracks. I saw a gold flash in front of me as something passed me.

“I CAN BREATH!” Taliyah yelled out as she was… now in her undergarments. This changed as they turned into what I can guess is a belly dancer outfit only flashy and covered in gems. “Oh come on!”

“You look fabulous dear.” Rarity said. Taliyah grumbled as she stood up.

“If it wasn’t for the fact she’s my friend I would throw a boulder at her.” she said.

“I admit it does look… decent.” I commented, turning to the small dragon. “Now, Spike was it?”

“Umm… yes?” he said as Taliyah started to throw golden spears at the flashy blasters.

“Do you recall the last couple lines of the spell from the book?” I asked.

“Umm…” he said as he started to think about it. “I think it was… ‘Only when true words will set you free’ or something like that.” As he finished there was a blast that missed him about two inches from one of her blasters.

“What have you been telling her all this time?” I pressed. Summoning a green hand to make a shield around us.

“That everything she made was great…” he said as a gold spear bounced off the shield.

“Is it really?” I asked. He shifted a bit.

“Well, yeah… kinda… maybe…” he started to frown a bit.

“Maybe that is not what is best.” I said, smiling as I teleported us next to her. “Say what needs to be, not what one wants to be said.”

Rarity snapped her head towards us and growled. Spike reeled back a bit and looked like he was looking for a way out… before he sighed and looked at her.

“Rarity… I’m sorry but all you have done… it’s… sure it looks nice but it’s not that great… it’s awful.” he said sadly. She blinked a few times at him.

“A-awful?” she said, shocked. She looked confused as the green magic went over her head. “What?... yes their great… everything I make is great.”

“Like hell!” Taliyah yelled out. I saw her outfit had tears and rips all over it, anymore and she would be in the buff. “All this pretty stuff sucks! It’s awful and not practical, like really, solid gold dress? It’s not useable!”

The green spirit looked over at her and made a lot more blasters appear and fired. She made a dome of gold around her as they fired onto her.

I sighed, summoning my seven hands to myself. “It appears I will have to get more serious.” I said, summoning blasters all around the spirit and firing. More flashy things appeared to block the blasts but some went through and hit them.

“Yes! Everything I make is Amazing~!” Rarity yelled and looked over at us. She frowned and looked confused. “Spike? Why are you shaking?”

“B-because Rarity, all of this… it’s scaring me.” he said as he geasters all over the place.

“Scares you… but… my creations shouldn’t scare anyone, they should fill them with joy and…” she stopped and became more confused, the green spirit looked down at her and tried to whisper something to her but she shook her head. “No...no no no…”

I acted quickly, using blue magic to tint the spirit blue, thrusting it away from Rarity while the connection was weakened. She grabbed her head as there was still some tethers of it still on her. In a gold flash a spear slashed down on them and cutting them. The spirit screamed in pain as it started to shrink.

I frowned as I pulled it over to myself, summoning two blasters and obliterating the spirit. Rarity fainted as the land and building that was turned into flashy things got turned back.

“Is… is everything back to normal?” Taliyah asked as she peeked out of her small earth dome.

“Yes.” I said, snapping my fingers and tapping into my more…. Godly abilities, making a dress appear. “This should be… suitable to cover you.” I added, tossing it her way. She grabbed it and looked at it.

“Not much of a dress person but it beats being in my underwear.” she said as she ducked down in her dome. After a few minutes the dome dropped and she was wearing the dress.

“What… was that thing?” Spike asked as he picked up Rarity who was still passed out.

“It was simply a dark spirit that was corrupting the magic in this book.” I said, holding it up.

“Huh… That explains the lime green colour.” he said.

“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked.

“Every comic book, show, and movie I have seen that has lime green with someone or thing is evil.” he then frowned. “Though I don’t really know why.”

“That is… incredibly stupid.” I deadpanned, summoning my green hand. “I have literally just used similarly colored magic to shield us, it represents KINDNESS not evil.”

“Also it’s the colour of lima beans.” Taliyah added. The two of us stared at her. “What? I like lima beans.”

“Regardless, I suppose that this situation is over, if that is all?” I asked.

“I guess so.” she said. Spike in turn just spun on his heel and started to walk into town.

“I’m going to take Rarity back home then take a nap.” he yelled back.

“Yeah… so anything else you want to do?” Taliyah asked.

“I am satisfied, feel free to de-summon me whenever.” I said.

“Alright, your services are no longer needed.” she said as a portal opened up near me. “Later I guess.”

“Feel free to call me if you need anything.” I said, walking through the portal and reappearing in my Everfree, going back on my walk. Little did I know, what catastrophe would await me when I returned...
