I'll Get The Job Done
Chapter 3: Quite the World We Live In Now
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe moon hanged over the town of Ponyville, its rays shining off of Twilight's crystal castle. In the top floors, Nick was fast asleep, all the stuff that's happened to him opened his mind. Making his mind much more clear along with helping fuel his dreams & or nightmares. Nick snoring slightly a pillow over his head as he slept.
Nick ran throughout the Everfree Forest quickly jumping over a fallen log as he landed, running faster as he whipped around looking forward, a massive goo monster looking down at him, its slimy tongue sliding out of its mouth as it eyed him. The beast mustering up a smile, it sending chills down Nick's spine as he narrowed his eyes. "So we playing are we?" The monster spitting a ball of slime at Nick, the human rolling to the side and running deeper into the woods, jumping over a rock and hiding behind it as he panted heavily. "Ok this has been a coo coo crazy night." He said as he looked over the rock, the slime monster waiting for him as it growled shooting a blast of slime at him.
Nick running forward and rolling to the side, clicking his Omnitrix's faceplate, it opening up as he slammed his hand on the dial, his body liquefying and his bones disappearing. "Goop?" He asked looking up at the slime monster as he looked over his head at the Anti Gravity Projector above his head, "this could work." He said to himself the Projector hoovering carrying him as it flew around the goo monster rendering Nick to a pile of goo.
It looked rather confused by his actions as he used it to hoover above the monster and diving inside its mouth. It rubbing its belly satisfied, the Gravity Projector beeping and taking control of the monster itself, slamming it against the side of a tree making it go everywhere a beeping heard from the Gravity Projector as Nick reverted to his human form rolling along on the ground as he coughed a bit shaking his head.
"Well done." A voice said as Nick looked around seeing no one.
"Uh hello?" He asked a bit confused.
A light flashed in front of Nick as he covered his eyes, the white light blinding him, as when he uncovered his eyes he saw her. A flowing mane that resembled the night sky, a crown on her head her blue eyes looking at his.
Nick wiped the slime off of his clothes, "uh. Who are you?" He asked. He could tell she was a pony, obviously.
"I am Princess Luna, Goddess of the Night." Her voice boomed shattering the surrounding area, Nick and her seemingly in a black nothingness.
Nick's eyes widened as he crossed his arms, "and apparently you can pull off some Freddy Kruger shit. Lemme guess magic?" He asked the very obvious question.
The Princess gave the human a confused questionable look before simply ignoring his statement, "We came to watch the dreams of our sleepy subjects when we sensed an...abnormality in the dreamscape. Your dreams, thou are not a being from this world. Perhaps beyond the mirror?" She asked him.
Nick shook his head, "I come from a different universe. I got sent here by this little joy." He said showing off his Omnitrix.
"Ah, the device Twilight Sparkle has been sending letters about to our dear sister. We witnessed its astounding transformation ability when we sent the monster after thou." She said. Nick narrowed his eyes, "that was you? Well I did outsmart it using Goop."
"Indeed, now thou may question us." Luna said looking up at him.
"Well first off, I was having a fine dream before you showed up with your little slime monster. Which really isn't a question as much as it is a statement." He yammered.
"That and do you interfere with dreams this much?" He asked her, the Princess shaking her head no.
"Not for all of our faithful subjects. Only those that seem to require our aid or special beings like you."
Nick rubbed his chin nodding, "alright alright. I suppose that makes it some what understandable then."
"Now aside from coming into my dreams is there something else you where here for?" Nick asked as Luna kept staring at him, "nothing we can think of at the moment. However all we can say is that we shall be seeing thou very soon." The Princess said as a smiled appeared on her face.
As she seemingly faded from the dream. Nick looking at his hands, as they seemingly fell apart like broken glass.
Nick jolted awake as he rubbed his hair, "what the actual fuck.." he asked himself panting a bit. Looking out of the window he saw the sun was out as he shook his head, "god. Well at least I know more of the rulers here." He stated.
Grabbing his jacket and shoes he pulled them both on as he walked downstairs seeing around the corner Spike and Twilight enjoying breakfast. "Hey Nick! Would you like anything?" The mare asked the human, he looked seeing nothing but vegetables and gems.
"Nah I think I'll be good for a bit." He said as he rubbed his hair, walking he plopped himself down on the couch to think of the dream he had. Was it all just a figure created by his imagination made from being in Equestria, or was Luna real. Either way he was kinda paranoid of the whole, 'we'll see you soon.'
Nick shook his head as he sat up, standing and deciding to walk out of the castle without saying anything.
Rubbing his chin, 'maybe I'll find something else to do.' He thought as he looked to the side, seeing Rarity's home he shrugged. "I suppose I could pay her a visit." He said to himself walking into the house.
The bell above him ringing, a pair of hoof steps heard from above. Nick looked around at the dresses made by Rarity. "Huh, these ponies have a lot of clothes for people who don't even wear anything at all." He stated as he looked seeing a small filly with a purple and pink mane, her bright green eyes looking at Nick as she let out a scream and ran back upstairs.
Nick's eyes widened a bit, "well I guess everyone didn't get the memo heh." He said as he crossed his arms hearing voices from the upper floor, then seeing Rarity coming down. "Ah Nick darling! I wasn't expecting you so early!"
"Well I was walking around town and I thought I'd pay you a visit. Nice glasses by the way." He said smiling at her.
The mare smiling back, "thank you! Well since you are here you must meet my younger sister Sweetie Bell!" She said rather enthusiastically.
"I think I already did heh, she ran upstairs the moment she saw me like. Harsh!" Nick said in a joking tone Rarity rolling her eyes at him, gesturing for him to follow her up the stairs in which he followed without question.
"Sweetie Bell I'd like for you to meet my new friend Nick." Rarity said looking at her sister who was in her workshop.
The filly looked up at Nick who gave her a two finger salute.
"Sis...your friends to a bald monkey..?" Sweetie replied.
"SWEETIE BELL!" Rarity shouted narrowing her eyes at the filly, Nick putting his hand in front of her shaking his head. "It's fine Rarity, I've had worse insults thrown at me heh." He said as he crouched down in front of Sweetie Bell.
"Well my species did evolve from monkeys, so I guess you could say I am a monkey." He said as he stuck his hand out as a friendly gesture smiling at her. The filly reluctantly put her hoof in his hand as Nick held it and shook her hoof.
Nick then stood, "Uncatalogued DNA detected." His watch said as he pulled his sleeve down, a yellow beam going over Rarity the mare tilting her head in confusion. "Really? I didn't get unicorn DNA? Huh." He shrugged.
"Oh Nick before we begin! Could you show Sweetie your magic?" Rarity asked looking at him.
"Not magic. Science of Galavain's." He replied to her as he looked Sweetie in the eye, "now Sweetie Bell. This is called the Omnitrix. Long story short it allows me to do this." He double clicked the faceplate, it sliding back as the dial popped up Nick slamming his hand down on it. Being replaced with the Necrofriggen Big Chill, Sweetie Bell's eyes widening at Nick.
"Woah! That is AWESOME!" She shouted looking at the Nick who had his wings wrapped around his massive body, acting almost as a shroud his breath showing in the air from how cold it was. "This is a Necrofriggen. AKA Big Chill."
"Can he freeze things?" She asked curiously.
Nick would've smiled if his form would allow him, he nodded. "He can. And he can do this." He turned almost see through fazing through the ground.
"And he's a ghost? Best monster!" Sweetie said jumping up and down in exictement, Nick fazing back up making himself solid as he tapped the Omnitrix logo on his wait reverting to his human form. "You've gotta come with me to the Cutie Mark Crusader Club House! You could help us find our Cutie Marks!" She said excited.
Nick shrugged once more, "I have no idea what that is. But sure why not heh." He replied, Rarity coughing a bit. "Shall we get to helping you get some news clothes?" The fashionista asked as Nick nodded.
"Yeah. That I'm gonna need new clothes, and I think I have a design in my head I may like a lot." He said, "how about. a black hoodie, with white outlines and a big white line going down the middle. And a number on the back. 10. Yeah." He said nodding smiling widely.
Rarity nodded taking his measurements taking mental notes of the specs of his unique jacket design. "I must apologize if I get it wrong the first time. It is my first time designing for a human."
He put a hand on her her head, "oh it'll be fine." He said smiling widely before chuckling a bit.
"Hey Sweetie while your sis works on my new jacket you think I could meet these Crusaders? I'm curious." He said crossing his arms.
Sweetie Bell rubbed her chin, "yea sure!" She said smiling widely, "where too?" He asked.
"Sweet Apple Acres!" She said smiling widely as she ran down the stairs, Nick looking at Rarity. "Take care of her Nick." She said, "yea don't worry I've got it. And if Twilight asks where I am. Say I am hanging with your sis and her friends." He said as he looked at his Omnitrix clicking the plate, messing with the holographic interface before slamming his hand down on it. His muscles changing as balls appeared underneath his feet, his fingers and toes sticking together to make three fingers & toes. He looked like a odd blue raptor as a faceplate slammed down over his face and he dashed down the stairs picking up Sweetie along the way before dashing out of the home.
"WAHOOOOOOO!!!!" Sweetie shouted waving her hoof in glee.
