I'll Get The Job Done
Chapter 1: The More Things Change...
Load Full Story Next ChapterThe convention seemed loaded with people today! Nicholas Devin Taylor had been amongst the crowd, the man was wearing a bright blue hoodie with silver V’s wrapping from his chest over his shoulders and on his back. He was wearing a pair of loose jeans along with blue tennis shoes, if you couldn’t tell blue was one of his favorite colors.
“Jesus how am I supposed to find something to do through all these people cosplaying?” He asked himself as he looked around, his nerdy group of friends had convinced him to attend the convention in the first place. A few minutes passed of him wandering around, only losing track of where he came from 2 minutes ago, he looked seeing what looked like a very accurate merchant from the Resident Evil games. The guy had some pretty cool stuff, but what caught his eye was a very cool looking Omnitrix.
“Is that the Omniverse Omnitrix?” He asked intrigued by the fact it looked so real and slick looking.
“Why yes it is. I do sell one of a kind items, you won’t find a Omnitrix like this anywhere!” The Merchant said.
Nick rubbed his jaw as he continued to look his items over, “ah what the heck. How much for the watch?” he asked.
The merchant smiled widely at him, “200.”
Nick’s heart dropped, he did NOT have 200 dollars on him. “130?” Nick attempted to bargain.
The Merchant rubbed his chin, “Hmmmm...125.”
“Deal.” Nick replied as he pulled out his wallet and paid, grabbing the watch and looking at it. “It is really life like!” He said a he wrapped it on his left wrist, it clicking on. He turned his wrist slightly, “wow. Feels like there is barely any weight on me at all!” He said.
The Merchant smiled more, “it has more features. You just have to dive deeper my friend.”
Nick tilted his head looking at the watch, using two fingers he clicked the top, it sliding back showing the dial which popped up, it glowing softly.
“Hey that’s amazing detail dude!” He said the Merchant still there looking up at him and holding his smile, Nick slammed his hand down on the dial the glow growing brighter as a green light enveloped him blinding most of the other attendees, an indescribable feeling coming across Nick as his eyes turned bright green. Fur growing all along his body as his fingers stuck together forming three claws, a muzzle replacing his mouth and nose.
All the human could do was grin, once the transformation finally completed his smile didn’t fade as he let out a loud howl into the woods he seeming appeared into, running in a quadrilateral stance into them.

“Thanks big sis, it was nice of you to tag along for my visit to Zecora’s.” Applebloom said saddles as they made their way to the Everfree Forest, Applejack adjusted her hat. “Ah it was nothing. To be honest ah think I ought to pay Zecora a visit as well.” The earth pony said.
“Whatca got in those saddles anyway?” She asked curiously.
“Oh! Some supplies to help Zecora make a new potion...or was it a food…”
“Heh whatever you’re making it’s gotta be something important.” AJ said using her hoof to ruffle her little sister's’ mane. As they approached the entrance to the forest, there was a ruffle of a bush. Then suddenly a wolf like creature leapt out of the bush, now standing in a bipedal stance, its wide green eyes looking around the area as it’s ears perked up slightly. Looking to the side it looked seeing the two ponies, “huh?” it managed to say in a deep voice.
Applejack and Applebloom jumping back at the fact this strange creature could TALK! “We ain’t ever came across anything like that! With the amount of times we go in them woods!” Applejack said.
The creature tilted its head, unknowingly showing off the strange green collar with a green hourglass with a black outline.
Applebloom looked at it as she spread her hooves out, “you understand us?” she asked as it looked rather annoyed, “yes. I can.” It replied.
The sisters still looking surprised as Applebloom stepped a bit forward toward the creature, Applejack using her hooves to pull her back.
She was still skeptical at this thing. “What are yea then?”
It looked at its massive talons, “I guess Blitzwolfer.” It said shrugging a bit.
Applejack narrowed her eyes, “I reckon you come with us, I’ve got a friend that should tell us whatca are.”

Nick’s ears perked at the sound of the Omnitrix timing out, reverting him to his human form the ponies looking up at him in MASSIVE shock and disbelief. Nick looked at the Omnitrix on his wrist his spine shivering in joy as he jumped up, “YES!” He shouted overjoyed, “this is awesome!” He screamed as he looked the ponies.
Regaining his composure he coughed a bit, “well uh should I-”
The two ponies shouted, “CHANGLING!!” Applejack leaping forward and tackling Nick to the ground, having the wind knocked out of him by the pony as his back hit the ground. Shaking his head he managed to quickly shove her off via his hands and feet jumping up.
“I’m not changeling! I don’t even know what that is!” He shouted, looking down at his Omnitrix. It beeping as a green ray scanned over Applejack . “New DNA in the watch? And it’s a pony, guess it’ll do.” He said as he looked up seeing Applejack up and ready to fight once more.
The human then looked at his watch again quickly putting two fingers on the top, it showing a circle of alien heads as he slid his finger up looking for something.
Applejack going back in ready to headbutt him, Nick licked his lips as he quickly pushed down on the on the top the hologram disappearing as the dial popped up and he slammed his hand down on it. “XLR-8? I’m not complaining!” He said as a face mask slammed shut over his face and he quickly zoomed around Applejack and Applebloom disappearing in a blue and black blur.
“I dunno what that was all about, but right now I am loving the hell out of this watch!” He shouted.

Applejack turned quickly stopping in her tracks watching the creature switch from one form to another and run off in the direction of Ponyville. Applebloom looked up at her sister, “Sis we gotta tell your friends!” She said.
Applejack nodded, “although we won’t be able to catch that varment running. We gotta get Dash, she may be able to stop it. You get Fluttershy, I’ll get Dash and the others.” She said as Applebloom nodded quickly running to Fluttershy’s cottage.
Arriving the mare was tending to her animals as per usual, “FLUTTERSHY!” She shouted as the mare jumped attaching to the ceiling having been spooked.
“A-Applebloom?” She asked finally dropping down as she looked at the filly, “W-what is it?” She asked shyly.
“We need to get the others! Me and Applejack, we might have encountered a changeling!” Applebloom stated, “CHANGELINGS?!” She asked shocked
“Oh dear...I don’t know…” She said unsure, Applebloom holding her leg. “Cmon we gotta stop it before it reaches Ponyville!” She said looking up at her.
Fluttershy sighed as she looked at her, “ok…”

Applejack panted as she looked up at the sleeping rainbow maned pegasus, “DASH GET DOWN HERE! IT’S AN EMERGENCY!”
Rainbow opened one eye as she looked down, “what’s up AJ?” She asked turning on her bell looking down from her cloud.
“We have a problem...me and Applebloom! We were headed to see Zecora when we think we may have encountered a changeling an-”
The pegasus put her hoof out, “say no more. I’m in!”
