A few minutes passed of Nick’s explanation, explaining everything. From the Unitrix, to being slapped by a anthropomorphic Trixie, to his new transformations. The girls surprisingly took it all rather well, Nick laughing a bit as he gave a sort of sheepish grin.

“Yeah, probably should’ve said something sooner!” He said giving a sort of sheepish smile, Eris floating above Nick’s head, the human grumbled slightly. “Thank you for informing us Nick, now if Eris would inform us as to WHY exactly she’s here.” Celestia said rather commandingly.

“Glad you asked and it’s something I stated earlier Sun Butt!” Eris snapped her fingers disappearing and reappearing, now wearing a business suit and glasses.

A statistics board behind her, “you see. As I said before hand, I’ve been following Nick as a way to sort of keep an eye on him, as he’s been staying in Equestria the previous magical residue that I followed slowly faded over time.” She said pointing a ruler at what seemed like green bars with labels of dates along them, seeing them decrease and shrink over time into essentially nothingness.

“Then what are these?” Nick asked as he pointed to the red bars, Eris smiled softly. “I was about to get to that. You see, our friend Nick’s residual magic has seemingly disappeared. Yet here, the magical readings are off the room. I believe that something followed Nick during his arrival. Yet what it is? I do not know, surprisingly the creature in question has kept its tracks relatively spotless, even with all that magic I can’t trace it.”

“This magical build up…” Celestia took a step forwards toward the board, rubbing a hoof against her chin. “From the way it's constantly increasing it reaching…”

“Tirek levels…” Luna finished for her sister, “which is why we wished to talk with Nicholas privately. To see if he knew anything about this build up, we have noticed it as well.”

“And it can’t possibly be Tirek!” Rainbow Dash said as she took a step forward, “all six of us sent him packing back to Tartarus!”

“Which is why I fear this may be something unlike Equestria has ever seen before…” Celestia said as Eris snapped her fingers again her clothing and the board disappearing along with herself, reappearing beside Fluttershy as she floated upside down. “You’re weeeelcome!” Eris stated grinning widely.

Nick rubbed his chin, “perhaps I can help. I mean hey this new threat is unlike anything Equestria has ever seen, and I’m something good Equestria’s never seen.” He said as he raised his left arm, sliding his sleeve down showing the Omnitrix.

“Young Taylor, this is unlike the Bug Bear or Slug Monster. We would advise thee-” Luna was cut off as Nick took a knee. His hand on his heart, “allow me to have princesses. I may have brought this thing here, but I sure as hell can send it back!”

Luna looked at Celestia, “very well...I would suggest you all return to Ponyville, gather some rest.” Celestia said as Nick stood up.

Walking off with the ponies, Nick nudged Fluttershy. “Hey you ok? You seemed a little pale back there?”

“I-I’m sorry Nick...I just...I didn’t know Eris was stalking you this whole time...I-I was wondering when you could meet her but I didn’t expect like this...she’s really nice though!” The butter colored mare said, Nick chuckling softly to himself.

“Tsk. Yeah, she’s something alright.”

On the train ride back to Ponyville Nick had been looking out the window, ‘what could I have brought to Equestria? I didn’t remember anyone following behind me when I came through. Then again, all I did was turn into Blitzwolfer…’

“Whatcha thinking about Nick?” Pinkie Pie asked sitting beside him.

“To be honest a lot, I’m hoping we’re able to contain this creature before things get out of hand…” Nick said as he looked at the pink mare. She smiled at him, “hey. You’re on our side Nick! We are guaranteed to succeed! We always have!”

Nick looked into Pinkie Pie’s optimistic eyes as he smiled softly, “yeah. I suppose so.”

“Hey try not to think about it Nick!” Eris said her head suddenly in his lap. Nick quickly jumping and pushing it onto the ground, “WHAT THE FUCK!” He shouted actually a bit startled by the Chaos Goddesses antics.

His shout attracted the attention of the other ponies, all of them laughing a bit as Nick narrowed his eyes and crossing his arms blushing softly. He was honestly embarrassed but decided to laugh with them, seeing as that was kinda funny.

‘You know what, maybe Rita was right. I should enjoy Equestria while I’m stuck here, I made new friends. Found a home and hey, maybe this creature their hyping up isn’t as big and bad as they think! But I think I’m gonna love being here.’ He thought to himself, finally accepting his fate and overcoming a fear of the unknown.

Looking at his watch, he smiled at its low green glow. Equestria was his new home and well, he finally believed that. ‘But if that threat is bad, you’re damn sure I’m gonna protect Equestria.’ He then looked to the side at the ponies who were talking among themselve rightfully leaving Nick to his thoughts.

‘Along with it’s inhabitants to the best of my ability, then as Ben Tennyson would rightfully say. It’s Hero Time…’

In the Everfree Forest a tall slim figure stood, a soft red glow emitting from his body. Wearing what seemed like very high tech and a helmet only showing black slits representing his eyes. His glowing red visor shining in the darkness, “suppose coming to a new Equestria now wasn’t a good idea.”

He looked at his wrist tapping a few things into his gauntlet, “argh...warp is down, I need more crystals and no doubt this universe's alicorns and Discord had to have sensed my arrival. Although the new kid masked my scent.” He grumbled to himself as he looked up. The skin showing from his fingerless gloves was a ghostly white, a type of grey cloak covering most of his body only torn at the bottom and up to his knee.

He let out a soft sigh, a rebreather in his mask actually showing his breath as he looked up. He paused as he heard the low growl of a wolf like creature, turning and looking at it he came face to face with a timber wolf.

A small cackle of laughter coming from him as the beast leapt forward toward him, and in one swift motion he slammed his hand onto it’s head pushing it into the ground. The wooden wolf whimpering underneath his crushing strength as a sort of red aura surrounded it, spines growing from its back as its eyes began to glow a vibrant red.

It’s teeth sharpening as it increased in size, the human like creature grinning widely at this from underneath his helmet, pulling his hand back he watched. The mutated Timber wolf standing up and looking at him, as if awaiting a command.

He simply stroked the Timber wolf's head with his fingers, “good boy. Now, we shall begin our what shall we call this? Ah who cares, let us just find what we need, I have big plans for this universe....very very big plans indeed…” He said his helmet almost distorting his voice as he climbed onto the back of the Timber Wolf, the Mutations he had given it along with the spines had a small opening, just perfect enough to fit his size as the creature began to run deep into the Everfree Forest.

Nick stepped out of the train taking a deep breath, “AH! HOME AGAIN HOME AGAIN!” He said smiling widely as the ponies followed behind him, “indeed darling!” Rarity replied as Nick smiled softly.

“Well y’all I better get back to the farm, I had to put off a few chores in order to go to Canterlot and need to get them done by the end of the day.” Applejack said adjusting her hat, “and I gotta get back to the Wonderbolts academy! Their gonna need their top flyer!” Rainbow Dash boasted receiving an eye roll from Nick and most of the group facehoofing.

“I better get back to Sweetie Bell we planned on having a nice sewing lesson tonight!” Rarity said as Nick smiled softly, “gotcha.”

“Stay safe.” Pinkie Pie said bouncing a bit as the three departed, “I should get back to the Bakery! Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake need foalsitting for the day!” She said bouncing away.

Nick crossed his arms as he looked at Fluttershy who seemed to be contemplating something, “whatcha thinking about Shy?”

She looked up at Nick and gave him a heart warming smile, “oh it’s nothing. I was just going to say I was heading home, Angel and the others must be starving!” She realized as she opened up her wings taking flight to her cottage.

The only ones left were Nick, Eris and Twilight.

“Sooooooooo…” He said as Twilight’s ears perked up, “Eris I’m surprised you’re not going with Fluttershy.” The alicorn stated slightly confused.

“Well I have to watch Nick don’t I?” She said twirling a small watch like device on her finger, “wait a minute…” Nick quickly pulled up his jacket seeing the Omnitrix resting on it as it had been before.

“HA PRANKED BUDDY!” She exclaimed as she disappeared and reappeared rubbing Nick’s shoulders smiling widely at his sudden panic.

Twilight just shook her head as Nick smiled softly, Eris actually getting a chuckle out of him. ‘You know, yeah. She really isn’t that bad.’ Nick thought to himself managing to get out of her grip. The small trio making their way back to Twilight's castle.

“You know I could turn into XLR-8 and run us over there right?” Nick asked as Twilight looked at him, “I was actually hoping to study each of your transformations and ask a few questions about the Omnitrix, if that’s ok?”

“Of course. We just be doing it for a while, this thing has a LOT of forms.” Nick replied, “considering this is Twilight Sparkle? She’ll enjoy the longevity of the studying.” Eris said laughing.

“She isn’t lying!” Twilight said giving Nick a sheepish smile, he simply sighed and smiled softly ruffling the alicorns mane.
