Chapter 1 a new world
(In Tartarus)
I awoke beside a pool of lava “Gah” I said as I quickly backed up into something.
“Well look what we have here a runt got out of its cage.” the something said as I turned around to see some kind of demon standing behind me. As I backed up it grabbed my arm lifting me into the air.
I tried to get out off its grip but something happened when I tried to get it off of me. As I tried to get the demon off me I did something that pushed the demon away and made it let me go. “Wha-?” I asked looking at my hand before the demon got up.
“So you have magic ay?” he asked as I decided to try to intimidate it by pulling out my Lightsaber. “So you have a weapon, don’t think I saw it in the armory but no matter I’ll take it from your corpse prisoner” The demon said as it pulled some kind of club. It rushed at me as I readied myself for a fight.(Demon slams club down Aniking dodges before being grabbed again and it's revealed that his arm is now robotic, he attempts to use the force to push the demon away again but to no avail until he launches lightning from his hands, stund the demon let's go and Anakin cuts the demon in two leaving his upper body only an arm and a head)
The demon slammed down the giant iron club with spikes down upon me forcing me to roll to the side. As I reach the apex of my roll the demon grabbed onto my leg. As I reached for anything that could keep me from being grabbed I saw that the arm that was reaching for safety was missing a few fingers. I only had three fingers on that hand… that metal hand. Oh god… that’s my hand.
I pushed my other hand to force its head away and just as I thought the force erupted from that free hand forcing the head to flinch back only a second. It started getting harder to hold on. I forced lightning from my hands but the demon merely was stunned by the force of the lightning. I freed my leg and pulled out my lightsaber. This was to get the job done.
The lightning didn’t last long as I forced the blade straight through its neck and with a quick slice the head was severed and cauterized all in one swift strike. The head popped off and rolled over the eyes still wide open staring back into my eyes while the swing went wide lopping an arm off as well. The body fell over soon after leaving me around a mutilated corpse and no idea where I was.
I looked at the corpse of the demon “great the only Thing that could tell me where I am and it's dead... well it was trying to lock me up so I guess self defence.” I said shutting off my lightsaber and putting it on my hip before quickly grabbing it again as I looked and wondered how did it become an actual lightsaber It was supposed to be a toy not an actual weapon, also How did my hand become robotic or I gain the force...I would have kept asking these questions but I heard a horn signaling that I had to move.
After a few hours of walking I came across a large door I hoped it was the exit, As I ran towards the door and looked inside. As I looked I saw some kind of demon being tortured by horse like demon. “Well I should try to find another way out...but I have a feeling that demon could be useful to me.” I said trying to sneak in.
As I got closer to the demon in chains but as I got closer the horse demon noticed me but before it could say anything I pulled it towards me with the force and cut it with my lightsaber. After the demon fell I ran towards the chained one. “You killed a guard so I can assume you're not here to kill me.” The demon said.
“That depends if I free you will you attack me?” I asked.
“No, I have no reason too.” the demon said as I used my lightsaber to cut the chains. As the chains fell to the floor the Demon stood up and looked at me with its green eyes. I tried to ask for the demons name but before I could open my mouth he spoke “You don’t look like on of my Illidari, who are you?” he asked.
“I freed you you should tell me who you are first.” I said as he just looked at me.
“Very well, I am Illidan Stormrage.” he said as I took a step back.
“Call me Anikin, where are we anyway?” I asked.
“Tartarus it is prison...were you not captured as well and placed here?” he asked
“No, I actually woke up here with no knowledge of how I got here.” I said leaving some parts out.
“Very well we shall make our way to the armory.” Illidan said as I followed him.
As we made our way through tartarus we came across a statue of what seemed to be the Red Hood and a woman “Whats are statues doing here?” I asked.
“It is more than likely that there are prisoners to dangerous to be allowed to be in a cage” He said as he looked around the statues. “it's honestly a miracle the statue has not been smashed.” he said.
I thought for a second before asking “Why not free them?”
“Why would you want to free them?” Illidan asked.
“Well for one thing the one with the hood has a weapon on them and we could use more help.” I said.
“And the girl?” Illidan asked as I thought for a moment before answering.
“You said it yourself she’s was too dangerous to be put in a cage so she could be useful.” I answered.
“Very well but should she turn on us I will end her.” Illidan said as he channeled his magic into a spell to break the seal on the statues. As he finished the spell the two statues began to crumble away freeing the two captives.
The Red Hood looked around before pointing his gun at me “Where the hell am I?” he asked.
“You might want to rethink your plan.” I said as he looked behind me to see Illidan standing there. “Anyway you're in Tartarus and were trying to escape.” I said as I turned to the girl “Can you fight?” I asked as she created a fireball out of thin air.
“Does this answer your question?” she asked.
“Alright what are your names?”
“Call me the red hood.”
“Real original did you spend all night coming up with that name.” the woman sarcastically said before introducing herself “I am Cinder Fall.”
(Equestria a year later)
I awoke in a clearing surrounded by trees with a pounding headache “Where am I?” I asked as I held my head and got up. As I looked around I noticed something on my arm “What?” I asked as I looked at the pink and blue Ultimatrix on my wrist. As I looked I flipped my wrist to the bottom and tried to remove it but It would not come off. “Of course it wouldn’t” I sighed to myself as I looked around I was in a clearing in the middle of a forest. “Maybe...” I muttered as I looked at the Ultimatrix.
I hesitated when I mimicked the show by pressing the two buttons on each side of the Ultimatrix and the dial popped up the first alien was Ripjaws followed by Alien X, Wildmutt, Heatblast, Clockwork, Big Chill, Waybig, Bloxx, Armodrillo and finally Brainstorm. I chose Wildmutt slammed my hand down on the dial transforming into.
“ROAR.” I roared as the world turned into smells I could somehow mentally see the environment. Huh, must be based on the thickness of the smell. Nice alien! I mentally chime as I take deep whiffs. My advanced nose letting me mentally see way ahead of where I could go. After a bit of…”smell searching” for lack of a better wording, I smelled the faint scent of a town, and could make out a few...ponies? Is it a farming town...wait...some have clothes, few, but some...they’re...entering shops? I gotta check this out. “GRAW.” I huff, heading towards the town. My advanced sense of smell letting me navigate as easily as if I could see.
I soon...smelled myself? Whatever, I smelled myself at the tree line at the edge of town. I could make out much more, and from what I was...smell-seeing, It was a town of ponies...and one heck of an apple orchard. I pondered what to do. I do look like a monster at the moment… maybe big dogs are liked here? I told myself with uneasy enthusiasm as I slowly entered the town, being careful with my movement in case.
“MONSTER!”
I may not have ears, but the ears I got are STUPIDLY sensitive. That scream started a chain reaction that lead to all the ponies around me screaming and panicking and...wait, DID SHE SPEAK ENGLISH?!
“EYAH!” Another scream yelled, but more of a battle cry as something hit the back of my head...Hard! I felt dazed from that before a small...something grabbed me by my fur. It hurt, but my daze made it hard to make out...hey...is the ground smelling...lower? “Nighty night monster.” A high pitched female voice said before I felt myself falling and hit the ground from at least half a mile. As I began to black out my body changed back. Before everything went black I was awake enough to see a set of four cayan blue hooves...and the end part of a rainbow colored tail. “The heck?” Everything went black.
Chapter 2 Canterlot
(Earth an hour ago)
“Happy birthday to you” Everybody sang as I was handed a bunch of presents.
“Thank you Carolyn” I said as I opened the first gift which was Red Hood trade comic the next few gifts was the Warcraft movie among other things but the final gift was really interesting.
“This is from your penpal in Canada” Carolyn said as she handed me the box. As I opened it I saw that it was an Ultimatrix from Ben 10 “it looks like it's a bracelet try it on Gwen” Carolyn said as I opened the bottom and placed it on my right wrist.
“It fits nicely.” I said as the Ultimatrix beeped “Huh?” I asked as the Ultimatrix glowed a bright glow I heard a voice shout my name before darkness.
(Equestra current time)
“Twilight you’ve got to come quick some shape shifting monster is in the center of town” Rainbow Dash said bursting through the door of the library.
Twilight who was in the middle of reading looked up from her book “What are you talking about?” Twilight asked.
“There was this monster that came to town so I knocked it in the back of the head and dropped it from a large height but as it landed it started to beep and turn into some kind of minotaur.” Rainbow explained.
Twilight got up from her chair and walked up to Rainbow Dash “Alright let’s go.” Twilight said as she followed Rainbow Dash to where she left the monster. When they got there Twilight was surprised “What's a human doing here?“ she asked.
“You mean this shape shifting monster?” Rainbow Dash said.
“Rainbow, humans can’t shapeshift they don’t naturally have magic” Twilight said.
“But but I saw it change from the monster into-” Rainbow said before she was cut off
“And another thing I’m no expert but guessing from the size of the human she may only be 8 to 13 years old.” Twilight said as Rainbow dash’s face turned white.
“But-” Rainbow tried to say before Twilight cut her off again
“Could you bring her to my Library i’m going to have Spike write a letter to Celestia.” Twilight said magicly lifting the human onto Rainbow’s back.
“Why do I have to carry it-er her?” Rainbow asked.
“Because I need to get back to find Spike.” Twilight explained before she teleported away.
“Great.” Rainbow said as she began to bring the Human to the library.
An hour passed after Twilight sent the letter to Celestia. “I wonder what's taking her so long to answer?” Twilight asked worried as there was a knock on the door.
As soon as Twilight opened it Celestia walked in “Hello Twilight.” Celestia said.
“Princ-I mean Celestia what are you doing here?” Twilight asked shocked that her mentor would come to Ponyville because of a letter.
“I came to see the human with my own eyes.” Celestia said looking at the human while she thought to herself. “Rainbow dash, Spike I need the two of you to leave us. This is a matter between royalty.” Celestia said as Rainbow and Spike left then Celestia charged her horn and a mass teleport to Canterlot.
“Princess why did we have to be sent to Canterlot?” Twilight asked.
“To see what the human does... You mentioned that the human transformed into a monster before she was knocked out.” Celestia said.
“Well that's what Rainbow Dash said but I honestly don’t believe her.” Twilight said as a noise came from the human.
As I started to come too I grabbed my head and asked “Hmm what hit me?” as I looked around I saw two winged Unicorns standing looking at me and as soon as I saw them i got up and began to run away.
As I got out the large door I was chased by two armoured ponies “Stop her” One of the winged unicorns called out as I looked at the Ultimatrix.
“Please don’t be a one time thing.” I said as I looked through the Ultimatrix playlist and found a new alien that wasn’t there before “Alright so I got a new scan... I probably save it for later.” i said skipping over it for “ARMODRILLO!” I shouted as I turned into Armodrillo.
“She can transform? I thought Rainbow was making that up.” One of the winged unicorns said as I started my arms and burst through a wall Kool-aid man style.
“Stop her before she brings the whole castle down.” One of the winged Unicorns said.
I looked around allowing my arms to transform into drills… if I wasn’t being chased I might stare in awe at them but time wasn’t on my side. I ran into the walls drills extended forcing my way through what had to be marble I think. As the walls crumbled I rushed through bowling over anyone that came into my way.
“Stop!” An Earth pony guard charged at me… only to be tossed to the side as they bounced off. I charged through the next wall where I felt something try to grab me. I thrashed around causing whoever was trying to grab me to fall to the floor exhausted as I burst through the next room.
It was a bathroom where this weird white unicorn male with blonde mane was who screamed like a little girl when I ran through. Not wanting to be in that situation I drilled through the next room. It was… pink, really pink and looked to be covered in pictures of another white unicorn but they had a blue mane. Ignoring it I rushed into the next room passing by more guards who also tried to lunge or tackles me… but that song and dance went the same when they all hit the ground dazed.
“Why are there so many walls!” I screamed as I ran through several more rooms all filled with more and more ponies either in armor or very fancy servant wear. Finally I saw the light from outside stream through one of the walls I busted down and rushed into the fresh air. Behind me were still those two winged unicorns looking slightly shocked… and bemused? That was weird. There were still unicorns with glowing horns who kept trying shine them at me.
I struggled furiously making all those unicorns falter and strain for some reason before they fell to the ground exhausted as well. I needed to get some breathing room. I placed my drill on the ground and was about to drill when the taller winged unicorn spoke. “Do you know how many lives you’d ruin if you do that child?” she asked. I paused for a second as guards started to come closer but as they took a step the Large winged unicorn opened her wings “You were about to dig on a weak point of the cliff you are on.” she said as I took a step back I didn’t want to harm anybody she took a step forward “Change back and let us talk.” she said as I hit the ultimatrix reverting back to Gwen and started tearing up.
“I didn't want to hurt anybody I just wanted to go home.” I said as tears dropped from my eyes.
The winged unicorn came closer and used her wing to cover me “come on in little one we have some things to discuss.” she said
(in Tartarus a year ago)
“Well it’s nice to meet you Cinder but we have an armory to storm so we’d better get a move on.” Illidan said as he went in front of us.
“Why do we need to get to the armory?” Red Hood asked “We all have weapons apart from the big guy.”
“I think there might be a way out through the armory or something I’m just following the big guy” I said as Cinder gave me a look.It wasn’t a bad as more it was an interested look but I couldn’t tell what she was interested in I’ve never really been popular with girls and I have no idea what she could be interested in.
After about an hour of walking and killing some demons we finally came across the armory where Illidan ran in and we followed the red hood taking a few pot shots at the demons which merely raise their arms to block the bullets.
“Tch…” Red Hood clicked his tongue in frustration as he got in closer firing point blank into a demon’s face. Another swooped in behind him only for me to grab them with the force tossing them off into the lava. Cinder fired off plenty of molten glass shards piercing through the many demons trying to get close but for the most part they walked through wounds attempting to get closer.
I grew annoyed at the prospect of continuous fighting so with the force I grabbed several of the demons in my metaphorical hands and started to rip them apart with nary a blink of an eye even if the strain of constant force use was hurting my head. Cinder picked up on this and began precision targeting demons with larger than my forearm shards of glass impaling them from the mouth down making them struggle and groan in place in a deathless death that there was no escape from.
Red Hood was a bit exasperated since he actually had to get in close to dispatch a demon but with a little finesse he managed to make it look easy as three more demons fell to well targeted shots from his dual handguns. Illidan was still dodging and weaving through the demons since he still needed his warglaives and left most of the demons in more favorable kill spots whenever the opportunity presented itself.
The opposition got dicey as we got closer to the prize as more demons poured in undeterred at the sight of their fallen comrades… if they had any. Still we charged in ready for the fight as Illidan grabbed the warglaives and joined us in a flurry of blades slicing through demons left and right as the numbers slowed down to a trickle of smaller foes. The demons had had enough for the time being leaving us exhausted but victorious at acquiring our well fought reward. “Our target is here.” Illidan said as he grabbed a small device. “This should get us out of here.”
“Alright let's get out of this dump” Red hood said.
“Yes let's.” Cinder said as we followed Illidan to the exit.
As we made it to the gate Illidan prepared us “Once this opens we will have to face Cerberus, are you prepared?” he asked as we all nodded and the door opened and we ran.
A few minutes later we were clear of Cerberus I noticed during the run that a fifth person that escaped. “So what now?” I asked but instead of answering Illidan unfurled her wings and flew away while Red hood just simply walked away. “Great...” I said as I saw Cinder was still here “aren’t you going somewhere too?”
“Aw where would I go without the man that saved me.” she said getting close to me.
“Well where too?” I asked.

Chapter 3 talking
After I calmed down a bit I was taken to a room. “The Princess will arrive shortly.” The pony guard said as he left. I looked at the Ultimatrix for a good minute before the princess arrived.
“Hello young one how are you?” she asked.
“I’m fine.” I said looking at the ground.
“Could you tell me your name?” she asked.
“Its Gwen.” I said still looking at the ground.
“Gwen I have a feeling you're not a bad pony-” Celestia started.
“Person” I corrected her.
“Right I have a feeling you’re not a bad person but could you tell me why you ran when you woke up?”
“I-I was scared.”
“It's alright Gwen but could you answer me how did you transform?”
I looked at my watch before saying “This is called the Ultimatrix it lets me transform into different aliens.” I said as I looked up I saw the Celestia interested.
“How does it work?”
“I don’t know.” I answered.
“Gwen how old are you?” Celestia asked.
“As of today 10.” I said as she looked shocked as tears started to drop from my face.
“Don’t worry little one everything will be fine.” Celestia said as I started to fall asleep.
I Placed Gwen under the blankets and quietly walked out and closed the door. “Make sure nopony comes in.” I told the guard as I went to see Twilight.
“Princess what have you learned about the Human?” Twilight asked
“Gwen her name is Gwen first of all.”
“Right what have you learned about Gwen?”
“Well she used a device attached to her wrist to transform into the ‘alien’” she said quoting Alien with her wings.
“Aliens?” Twilight asked.
“That's what she called her transformations.” I said as Luna came in.
“Sister what was that commotion it woke me from my sleep.” Luna said.
“It was a scared foal.” I said.
“A scared foal caused all that noise it felt like the entire castle shook” Luna said.
“Twilight I would like to discuss something with my sister in private.” I said as Twilight nodded and Teleported away.
“Sister why do you want to talk to me in private?” Luna asked.
“I want you to go into the dream of the foal to see what she’s dreaming.” I said.
“And you couldn’t tell me this in front of Twilight.” Luna asked.
“Because there are somethings I don’t want to tell Twilight...not yet at least.” I said as Luna looked at me.
“What do you mean sister?”
“Her kind has only been seen twice in Equestria.” I told her.
“What do you mean ‘her kind’ is she not a pony?” Luna asked.
“No she’s not.” I said
“Then how did she cause the castle to rubble?” Luna asked
“She had a device on her wrist that lets her transform into other creatures.” I explained.
“What? How does it work? Who made it?” Luna asked.
“I don’t know she wouldn't answer the questions.” I explained
“So what do you want me to do?” Luna asked
“I want you to comfort her I don’t know how she got here but she’s alone and possibly scared.” I explained.
“Alright sister” Luna said as she returned to her room.
As I took a deep breath i looked at the light coming from the arena, I wasn't allowed to wear my Armor due to the law of no outside equipment allowed, it made me a little handicapped not having Excalibur by my side by I was the chosen champion of the High King of the Forever Knights and It was an honor representing him in this battle “Contestant will you please step on the elevator it is time for the battle to begin.” The fight manager said as I sighed.
“Yes sir.” I said stepping on the elevator.
As the elevator rose I heard the announcer speak “GOOD BULLS AND CALFS OF THE MINOS COLISEUM! WELCOME TO THE HONORABLE DUEL BETWEEN THE CHAMPION IRON BULL AND HIS CHALLENGER STEEL HEART!” the crowds roared when the champion was said.
As I walked up to Iron Bull he smiled at me “It's an honor to meet you, shame that I have to kill you.” He started. “You seem like such a nice bull from what I’ve seen and heard of you but it's the law.” he said looking away.
“Its an honor to fight you too.” I said it honestly was a shame I had to kill him he could have been a great member of the Forever Knights but he’s an obstacle that i had to cut down.
“CONTESTANTS SHAKE HANDS AND ENTER YOUR CORNERS OF THE ARENA THE BATTLE IS ABOUT TO BEGIN.”The announcer said as we walked to our corners.
I stared at the Champion as I began to walk forward holding the blade given to me. I began to run towards the champion as he held his shield up. I rolled under his shield and behind him before he turned around hitting me with his shield knocking me to the ground. He looked at me and any compassion or kindness in his eyes were gone replaced with only nothingness. He swung his mace down at me which I dodged before hitting him in the arm with my blade. He roared in pain as he knocked me back with his shield again this time knocking the sword out of my hand.
I quickly scrambled to get up as he dropped the shield and grabbed my leg and threw me over his head. As I landed I rolled and landed on my feet with the only problem was my blade was on the other side of him and he knew that.
I ran around him as he simply walked to my sword and picked it up before throwing it at me. Luckily I was only hit with the blunt end of the blade as I grabbed it off the ground and rushed him this time managing to get a good stab at him. As he took a step back holding his stab wound with one hand he tried to swing his mace at me but it was to late as I had already taken his head.
“I DON’T BELIEVE THIS, THE IRON BULL IS DEAD THE CHALLENGER HAS WON!”The announcer shouted as the crowd was silent. I didn’t care I had taken the life of a good bull and I felt hollow in my victory.
As I went down to change and get my wounds taken care off I saw the High King I quickly knelt before him “Ah Steel Heart I came down here to wish you congratulations on your victory.” He said.
“Oh thank you my King.” I said as he turned around and I got up.
“Come we must greet your public.” The high king said as I went to change.
As night turned to day I woke up in the room Celestia gave me. As I made my way to the dining room thanks to a guard I saw that the holes I made were starting to be repaired. As I passed one of the holes I looked away in embarrassment. “Auntie why is there a hairless ape in our dining room?” A unicorn asked.
“Blueblood this Is Gwen.” Celestia said introducing me to a unicorn as I waved meekly.
“Hmph whatever this ape spoiled my appetite.” He said walking out.
“what crawled up his butt?” I asked as Celestia looked at me just before a messenger came into the dining room.
“Princess Celestia news from the Minos isles.” the messenger said.
“Let me guess they’ve changed kings?” Celestia asked.
“Uh Yes your majesty.” he said handing her the letter.
As she read it I wondered something “How did you know that they were changing kings?” I asked.
“Oh this is something they do every few years, some noble decides he doesn’t like the king for some reason and challenges there champion to battle. Sometimes the challenger wins but most of the time the Champion wins.” Celestia explained.
“Okay then.” I said before starting to eat my pancakes.
“Send a message to the king that I will visit him next month.” Celestia said as the guard left “Let's hope this isn’t another tyrant.” Celestia muttered under her breath before turning to me “So Gwen what do you want to do today?” Celestia asked as I grabbed a piece of toast I looked at her and shrugged.
“Alrighty then maybe we should find you some new clothing.” Celestia said as I took a bite out of my toast today was going to be a long day.
Chapter 4 Diamond dogs
A week passed since I got here and now I was on a train with a private cabin to a town called Ponyville to meet with somebody called Twilight Sparkle. As the train got to a stop I saw a pink pony with some kind of instrument greeting other ponies before she noticed me “OHMYGOSHIHAVENEVERSEENANYTHINGLIKEBEFORE!” She said startling me.
As I took a step back as I noticed the Ultimatrix was yellow “Could you hold still for a moment?” I asked as she took a deep breath and held completely still as I tried to scan her. After a good minute of fiddling with the watch before figuring out how to do it...by accident.
As I scanned her she released her breath before asking “What did you do?” in a giddy voice.
I looked at the Ultimatrix searching the playlist for the new alien “This” I said as I slammed my hand on the Ultimatrix and turning into a Pink pony.
“*GASP* You look like me!” she said hugging me other ponies in the train station weren't as happy with my transformation some screaming changeling to others just running.
“I better get going before they decide to attack.” I said changing back to Gwen and leaving with the guard that Celestia gave me to head to this Twilight Sparkles place.
As we got to the tree library I entered it to see the lavender alicorn from last week.
As my chariot landed in the Minos Isles as I got out and stretched, as I was stretching two Minotaur guards came “Oh hello.” I said
“Princess Celestia?” The one on the right asked.
“Yes thats me I take it you’re here to take me to the palace?” I asked.
“Yes we are follow us.” They said as me and my guards followed them to the palace.
As we got to the palace we were greeted by King Strong Horn “Ah hello Celestia.” he said.
“Hello King Strong Horn” I said as we walked inside the palace. As King Strong Horn gave us a tour of the palace I had one question “What do you hope to accomplish with your rule?” I asked.
King Strong Horn was thrown back by my question “What do you mean Celestia?” he asked.
“Well every king has an agenda they want to push.” I started as I giggled “heck a few of them tried to hold me for ransom and that was a bad idea.” I said as we passed a wall that I remember blasting down.
“Hmm well I suppose my goal is to advance of my people.” King Strong Horn said.
“Hmm that sounds like a fair goal.” I said as we entered a room.
As King Strong Horn took a seat he pulled out some documents “Shall we begin?” he asked.
“Lets.” I said pulling out a quill from my bag.
As I stood there looking at the Alicorn she finally spoke “Gwen was It?” she asked.
“Yes i’m Gwen.” I said as I noticed the Ultimatrix was again yellow what was it with this thing it was yellow all the time in Canterlot “Umm could you hold still for a second.” I asked as she tilted her head.
“Um alright?” she said as I fiddled with the Ultimatrix until I managed to have the scan feature work again this time on purpose. “What did that do?” she asked as I went throught the aliens and saw the new one pop up. I slammed my hand on the dial and changed into a lavender alicorn. As the green light faded Twilight looked surprised at me “What?” She asked as she looked around me “How I mean I know your device can let you change shapes but I didn’t know you could copy others.” She said.
“Oh I can’t copy others I just used your dna to create an alicorn for my Ultimatrix to use.” I said as Twilight was lost by my explanation. I changed back to Gwen and would have to come up with a name for the two I was thinking Athena for the alicorn.
“Twilight?” I asked snapping my fingers as she shook her head just as a small pink and green dragon ran in.
“Twilight!” The dragon yelled.
“What is it spike?” Twilight asked concerned.
“The Diamond dogs they took rarity again.” Spike said.
“What I thought they learned their lesson after last time they kidnapped Rarity” Twilight said.
“Do you have anything of her’s?” I asked as Twilight and Spike looked at me.”What its for Wildmutt to track her with a scent.” I said.
“Who’s wildmutt and who are you?” the dragon asked.
“Right Spike this is Gwen she is going to be living with us for a while, Gwen this is my assistant Spike” Twilight said introducing the two of us.”right, now Spike do you have anything of her’s?” Twilight asked.
“I have her hat but-” he was cut off by Twilight levitating him onto her back “whoa!” he said as we ran outside.
About half an hour of running we made it to where spike said Rarity was last seen “This is where you were attacked?” Twilight asked.
“Yeah but you still haven't told me why you brought Gwen isn’t she just a human?” spike said.
“Gwen.” Twilight said as i opened the ultimatrix and chose Armodrillo.
“Armodrillo!” I shouted as I put my hands to the ground and started drilling down.
“Whoa how’d she do that?” Spike asked.
“I’ll tell you later now just hop on.” Twilight said as they hopped on Armodrillo’s back.
“Ug let me go you ruffians before I start whining again.” the white unicorn threatened as i walked up to her.
“Go ahead whine I dare you.” I said pulling out my lightsaber and placing it near her horn “I hope your not to attached to that” I said as she got the message. To be honest that was a risky move we needed her horn attached to her for Cinder’s plan to work.
“Wh-who are you?” she asked
I stood up and said “The leader of this group now start finding gems.”I said kicking her away as I walked away. As I went away I felt a rumble in the ground I turned to my dogs “prepare the defences!” I said feeling that they’ve come sooner than I expected.
“Yes sir.” One of the dogs said.
“Don’t fail me.” I said as I walked to the elevator to meet with Cinder.
As we made it to the down to the mine level I changed into Wildmutt and roared before nudging Twilight to hand me the hat “what is she doing?” Spike asked.
“Give her the hat.” Twilight said as he slowly gave me it. I sniffed it and got the scent.
“Ruff” I barked chasing after the scent trail and hoped they would follow, As we got closer to this Rarity I smelled something else what i guess was the diamond dogs and something else something I couldn’t tell what it was.
As I stopped I was bumped by Twilight who asked “Why did you stop?” I placed my paw on the ground as it collapsed revealing a bed of spikes.”Alright good reason.” she said as we went around the trap.
Before long the dogs were close and I decided to change to “Big Chill!” I said before turning intangible “You two wait here i’m going in to see if I can find her.” I said before flying through a wall. As I phased through the wall I saw that there were a number of what I guess were Diamond dogs. As I snuck around I saw a white unicorn using her magic to find something I got close to her and whispered “pst.” she looked around before quickly going back to searching for what ever the dogs were having her search for. “Pst.” I said again as she looked around.
“Hello?” she asked.
“I’m here to get you out just hold on.” I whispered. She nodded before turning back to the gems as a diamond dog looked at her. I flew back to Twilight “Alright I think I found your friend she a white unicorn right?” I asked.
“Yeah that’s her” Twilight said as I went back to Rarity to start the attack.
As I arrived I turned the dial on the Ultimatrix to go “ULTIMATE BIG CHILL!” I shouted reveling myself.
“Monster!” one of them shouted as I breathed ice flames on the surrounding area.
“You’re going to have to deal with fire so cold it burns.” I said freezing the few dogs with my ice flames. As they tried to hit me I simply went intangible and flew through them turning them to Ice and before long all the dogs were ether frozen or ran away. “You can come in now!” I shouted
As Twilight ran in with spike on her back I changed back to Gwen And we went to see Rarity. “Rarity are you alright?” Spike asked.
“Oh i’m fine spike I just have some bruises from that...whatever it was that threatened me and kicked me.” Rarity said.
“Could you describe what it looked like? Twilight asked.
“Well it looked like a larger male version of that.”Rarity said pointing at me.
“So there is another human here?” I said realising I wasn’t alone in this world.
“Well let's get out of here I’ll write to the princess when she gets back from the Mino’s isles.” Twilight said as I saw something in the distance.
“Hold on I think I see something” I said as I wandered off.
“Gwen?” Twilight asked as I went to see a Diamond dog hiding I pulled up the Ultimatrix and scanned him.
“Alright we can go” I said as we returned to Ponyville.
As I returned the the Den I saw that most of my dogs were ether frozen or cowering “You what happened?” I asked grabbing a nearby dog.
“A demon came and used flames of ice froze everydog.” He said as before I killed him with my lightsaber.
“Oh calm down we needed at least one dog alive.” Cinder said as she looked at the gem deposit. “Well we should have enough gems to enter the Diamond dog citadel.” she said as I saw another dog still alive.
“You with us we have a little plan that we need you for.” I said using the jedi mind trick to have him follow us.
As we were walking back to town something hit my head “Ow” I said as I looked at the thing that fell on my head.
As I looked at the keychain that fell from the sky I heard a voice speak. "I am the Warrior of Light, enemy of darkness and all who walk within. If you find yourself trapped by the shadows and cannot find the light, call on my name, the name of Sora, and I will answer.” the voice said.
I looked at it and simply asked “Sora?”

This goes without saying but Spoilers for Showstoper's A Heart Eclipsed
[The Void]
Sora sighed in contentment as he lay in bed with Luna. The gummi ship was much larger than he’d expected, with living chambers for the two of them, Sol, and a half dozen others should they need it. Tomorrow had been set aside for exploring the rest of the ship, but for now Sora was content to cuddle with his wife as they drifted through the void.
“Sora?”
Sora sighed, rolling his eyes. Well, I was content. “Luna,” he said, poking the dozing mare in the wing. “Luna, I’m getting a displaced call.”
“That’s right!” Sora and Luna leapt to full wakefulness as a high-pitched voice disturbed them. “Signal’s comin’ from an unidentified world. Looks like it isn’t anyone that’s contacted you before.”
Sora and Luna shared a bemused glance before Sora replied, “Yeah, I could tell that from not recognizing their voice. Who are you?”
“I’m Chip’n’Dale, this gummi ship’s AI. Nice to meetcha!”
“That is… interesting,” Luna muttered, curling back up on the bed. “Go ahead and answer it, Sora. I’m going to sleep for another hour.”
Sora nodded, rolling out of bed and onto his hooves. He let out a huge yawn, stretching his wings as he did so. “Might as well get this show on the road.” He looked up, nodding. “Beam me down, Scotty!”
“Roger!”
[Equestria]
A circle of green light suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Gwen, glowing with a soft energy. A figure faded into existence within the circle, opening its eyes as the light faded to a simple circle of energy on the ground. The figure was a dark tan pegasus, his mane and tail a light brown and his cutie mark bearing a Kingdom Key keyblade. He looked around for a minute, taking in his bearings before smiling at Gwen. “Hey there,” he said, extending a hoof. “Sora, Warrior of Light. You rang?”
“I did what now?” Gwen asked, staring at the pegasus.
“Gwen, who is this? And where did he come from?” Twilight asked, stunned.
“I don’t know.” Gwen said, ignoring the pony for the moment.
“You’re the one who used my token, right?” Sora asked, confused.
“Token?” Gwen asked before holding up the keychain. “You mean this?”
Sora sighed, shaking his head. “Another newbie, eh?” He chuckled before nodding. “Yeah, that’s it. And if I’m the first guy you’ve summoned, then let me welcome you to the crazy multiverse of the Displaced. Tell me, did you get turned to stone for a thousand years, or did you just arrive in Equestria recently?”
“Why would she be turned to stone? She’s just a kid!“ Twilight said.
Sora shrugged. “A lot of us have been. Some misunderstanding or another led to…” He paused, frowning. “Wait, a kid?” He looked at Gwen, an eyebrow raised in confusion. “You mean, you’ve been turned into a kid, right? When you were sent here?”
“No. My tenth birthday was last week,” Gwen replied.
“Tenth…” Sora’s look of shock turned to one of burning hatred. “THAT YAYING PIECE OF BUYSOMEAPPLES!!!” He snorted and stomped, glaring up at the sky. “YOU HAD NO RIGHT, YOU HEAR ME! I KNOW THIS IS ALL A SICK JOKE TO YOU, BUT A KID?!?!?!”
“DId he just say buy some apples?” Twilight asked.
“Who had no right?” Gwen asked. “I received this” she held up the ultimatrix “as a birthday gift. Speaking of which, hold on for a second.” She fiddled with the watch for a moment before scanning Sora.
Sora eyed the watch curiously. “Another Ben 10 displaced, huh? That makes three so far.” He gave one more snort of anger before visibly relaxing. “Sorry about that outburst. Most of us are stuck in this situation because of a guy called The Merchant. We were sent to our various Equestrias after buying something from him at a con. Either he’s changing his tactics, or there’s more than just him out there kidnapping people.”
“So he might have given my Penpal the watch to give to me,” Gwen said. “By the way, you never answered Twilight's question.”
Sora thought for a moment before nodding. “Right. Who and how I’m here.”
“That wasn’t the question I was referring to. Did you seriously say Buy some apples as a swear?” Gwen asked before pausing. “But that other stuff would be helpful too.”
“Ah, that.” Sora chuckled, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. “That seems to be something unique to my Equestria. I’ve lived there for so long, I kind of fell out of the habit of using my old swears. And before you ask, three thousand years, twelve-hundred of those trapped in stone.
“As for how I got here,” he pointed at the keychain in Gwen’s hand, “Gwen summoned me when she used my token. It’s an artifact of sorts that we displaced use to communicate with and summon each other.”
“Okay...” Gwen paused. “What are you displaced as?” she asked. “You don’t look like a digimon trainer.”
Sora laughed for a moment before holding one of his forehooves to the side. “Not a chance, though I have met a group of Digi displaced. Nah, I was displaced…” In a flash of light, Oathkeeper appeared in his outstretched hoof. He rested the blade on his shoulder, grinning at Gwen and Twilight’s stunned looks. “...as Sora from the Kingdom Hearts games. My original name is something else that I forgot over the millennia.”
“Alright then...” Gwen said. She hesitated a moment, thinking of what to ask next, when Spike spoke up.
“So what’s different in your world?” Spike asked.
Sora’s grin dropped immediately. He stared off into the distance for a moment before answering. “The heartless,” he finally said. “Living shadows that hunt people down and devour their hearts. The keyblade is the only thing that can destroy them.” He sighed before allowing his smile to return, though more subdued than before. “Also, Twilight, Bolero, and the Royal Siblings are no longer alicorns, and it looks like a good number of ponies are the opposite of the gender they usually are.” He smile morphed into an evil grin. “On that note, I’ll be right back.” The circle of energy grew brighter for a moment before Sora vanished.
“Wait, who’s Bolero?” Twilight asked as Gwen shrugged. “And how did we turn form alicorns into non-alicorns?”
“And more importantly, why are a number of ponies in his world the opposite gender?” Rarity asked.
Sora reappeared in another flash of light, something tucked beneath his wing and the beginnings of a black eye forming over his left eye. “Sol should really have learned by now that I have these hidden everywhere.” He held out his wing to Gwen, giving her the most ridiculous photograph she’d ever seen. It was a picture of a male Celestia, dressed in a frilly pink dress with yellow bows and wearing the most annoyed expression she’d ever seen on a pony. “Make copies, and pass one along to every displaced you meet,” he said. “We’re trying to make it so no-one in the multiverse takes Sol seriously.”
Twilight was speechless as Spike laughed a bit. Rarity fainted at the tackiness of the dress. ”Alright then,” Gwen said before asking “Hey, you want to fight?”
Sora hesitated, looking Gwen up and down. “You sure? Not to underestimate your watch, but I’ve been the High General of the Equestrian Keyblade Army for more than two thousand years. I’m not sure you’re in my league.”
“I have Alien X,” Gwen countered. “I think I can handle you.” She spun the watch, transforming into “Bloxx!” She grabbed Sora and threw him into the air.
“Gwen what are you doing?” Twilight shouted.
“What? It's the only time I can get some good experience with the watch,” Gwen defended.
“Though to answer her question better,” Gwen and Twilight looked up to see Sora hovering a few yards above Gwen’s head, an unamused eyebrow raised and Oathkeeper back in his hoof, “what she’s doing is getting into a fight above her weight class.” He grinned before aiming his blade down at her. “So I’ll go easy on her. Thunder!”
A bolt of lightning shot from the blade, aimed directly at Gwen’s head.
Gwen dodged the attack before swapping to “Athena” and flying up to Sora. “Bet you weren't expecting an Alicorn,” she said as she weaved through a few more of Sora’s lightning bolts.
Sora just grinned, dismissing Oathkeeper in favor of Oblivion. “Kid, I spent the better part of three centuries sparing against two alicorns. And that was before I had wings.”
“What about an Ultimate Alicorn?” she asked as she turned the dial on the Ultimatrix, transforming in a flash of green light. She began to grow in size her wings and horn extended as armour formed on her chest, head and legs. Twilight was in shock she only saw this form once before in Nightmare Moon.
Sora looked the new creature up and down before shrugging and summoning a scythe-like keyblade to his other hoof. “Eh, not impressed.” He vanished in an instant, appearing behind Gwen and slamming Oblivion down between her shoulderblades and sending her hurtling towards the ground. “Especially when I haven’t even brought out my transformations yet.”
Gwen just chuckled as she teleported behind Sora, firing off a blast of magic that caught him off guard.
Sora spun as he fell, flinging Oblivion up at Gwen. He slender-walked again while she was distracted, appearing by her side just as she dodged. He tapped Mysterious Stalker to her wings before muttering, “Phantom.” Bands of ghostly mist shot from the tip, wrapping around Gwen’s wings and binding them to her side. He slender-walked away again as she began to fall, struggling futilely against the bonds of spectral energy.
Gwen tried to think of a way to escape. As she struggled, she managed to use her magic to switch aliens. “Alien X” she shouted as the chains broke. She landed on her knees, looking up at Sora as the sky filled with red laser blades which shot immediately for him from every direction.
“Really?” Sora asked, boredly spinning his blades. “This old thing from the KH2 final battle? You really think I’m going to down from this? First of all, Reflega.” A sphere of light appeared around Sora, deflecting the incoming bolts of light. “And second-” He was cut off by Gwen launching herself upwards, sending him flying through the sky with just one punch. She followed him up, another blow sending him sailing all the way to Canterlot. He impacted on the mountainside, the ground cratering beneath him and his left wing snapping.
“Great,” Sora muttered, switching out for Ponderer and casting a quick Cura to take care of his wing. “She’s got a god-mode.” He sighed as he pulled himself from the crater. “Right. No more holding back.” A great flash of light consumed him, fading to reveal a full set of white clothing. Sora hovered in the air, Ponderer, Reaper, and Biter hovering around him as Rave stepped into action, spreading under Sora’s clothes into full armor form, spinning into spikes on his joints and shields on each of his forelegs. “Let’s get serious.”
Gwen soon landed in front of the crater looking around for Sora. Sensing something coming, she turned around and blocked an attack from Biter. She just stared at him before hovering into the air to his level.
“That’s some pretty impressive power,” Sora admitted, zipping higher into the sky, “but I’ve taken down Titans solo.” He looked around, ensuring that there was nopony nearby before pointing his hoof at Gwen and grinning. “And I think I’m done holding back.”
A minute-long series of flashes lit the sky as an army of keyblades appeared above Sora, casting the entire mountain into shadow. With a single nod, Sora sent the barrage of Keyblades straight for Gwen, throwing up a gigantic plume of dust that obscured the area. After three minutes of constant onslaught, the keyblades finally ceased flying, leaving only Sora’s original three hovering around him and Mysterious Stalker in his hoof. “Maybe I overdid it,” he muttered.
Gwen burst from the cloud of dust, flying straight for Sora with her fist cocked back. Sora slender-walked out of her path before pointing his three blades at her back. “Guess not.” The blades began to glow, giant orbs of light forming at the ends. “Let’s see how your defences compare to an Ultima!” The three orbs shot out, spiraling around each other before striking Gwen. She didn’t even flinch as the blast sent her flying, recovering quickly and shooting straight for Sora again. He brought up his shields to block, grunting as she plowed him through the sky.
This isn’t working! Sora thought, gritting his teeth as he dismissed his three hovering keyblades, summoning one more to his free hoof. If this doesn’t do it, I might be in trouble. He slender-walked one more time, appearing above Gwen when they were a few miles away from the base of Mount Canter. He spun his new blade down, the massive sword glowing red and distorting the air with heat. “TASTE PRIMORDIAL DRAGON BREATH!” Sora shouted. “FIRAGA!!!”
A stream of fire shot from Elemental Might, consuming Gwen and more than an acre of the ground below. The fire billowed and sloshed against the ground, almost liquid in its intensity. A full minute passed before the stream died down, Sora slender-walking to the edge of Equestria’s newest glass crater as he gasped for breath, glaring into the steam.
“Di- did it work?” he gasped.
The steam faded away, revealing a black, star-spangled figure standing at the bottom of the crater, apparently unharmed. Sora’s ears lowered, his eyes widening as he dismissed Elemental Might and clutched Mysterious Stalker all the tighter.
“Oh, buysomeapples.” he muttered. Gwen rushed up to him and grabbed him by the throat, her grip getting tighter and tighter by the second.
“GWEN STOP!” a voice shouted. Sora barely was able to turn his head to see where it came from.
“Twilight, stay back,” he gasped out, slender-walking out of Gwen’s grip to stand between her and the newly arrived Twilight. “I don’t think she’s in control anymore.”
“Gwen, please stop! You’re not a killer!” Twilight shouted. “Please stop.” Gwen simply took a step forward towards Sora. “Gwen, remember a week ago! You could have destroyed Canterlot by digging down as your drill pony. But you didn’t! You listened to Celestia and you changed back, letting her talk to you!” Gwen paused, her attention turning to Twilight. Slowly, haltingly, her left hand reached up for the Ultimatrix. Her other hand reached up and grabbed it, trying to stop it, but she got to the dial and hit it, returning herself to Gwen.
Gwen then fell to her knees sobbing uncontrollably. ”I’m sorry! I couldn’t control myself!” she cried. She ran to a nearby bush, vomiting violently.
Sora sighed, rubbing his sore neck before walking over and patting her on the back. “Yeah, I figured. No ten-year-old fights to kill like that.” His eyes went to her watch and he blinked, his eyes glowing white when they opened. “Yup, there’s another heart in there all right. And it doesn’t look too friendly.” He blinked back to normal, dismissing his form and keyblade and allowing Rave to return to his left foreleg. “You can’t summon him again. Not unless the fate of Equestria is at stake.”
“Alright,” she said looking at the ground before, reeling back as she realized she was staring at her vomit.
“Come on Gwen, let's head back to Ponyville,” Twilight said before turning to Sora. “I believe you should go too.”
Sora hesitated before nodding. “Sure, just two more things I need to do.” He turned to Gwen. “If you ever need help, just call for me and I’ll be here as soon as I can. You also might want to consider making a token of your own. Just take something that represents you, imbue it with a bit of power, and the craziness that keeps us together should take care of the rest.”
Gwen looked at him before saying, “Alright.” Twilight’s horn began to glow.
“We’ll see you, Sora,” Twilight said.
“Hold on,” Sora said, reaching out a hoof to Twilight. “I have something to say to you too. Alone.”
Twilight shot Gwen a concerned look before nodding. “I’ll just be over there,” she told her, pointing to a burnt tree nearby.
Sora took to the air, flying for the tree as Twilight followed. As soon as they landed, Sora turned to face Twilight, his expression hard and serious. “Don’t tell Gwen what I’m about to tell you,” he said. “Not yet, at least.”
“Alright, what is it?” Twilight asked, taken aback.
“She isn’t the only thing that came here.” Sora gave Gwen a glance before continuing. “Every Displaced has found their Equestria attacked by whatever villains or antagonists existed in the game, TV show, or book that they originated from. Don’t ask me what I mean,” he added, holding up a hoof to forestall Twilight’s inevitable questions. “Gwen can explain that bit later. The important thing is, you’re going to be facing some nasties in the near future. The only one I remember is a group called the Forever Knights. In the story her watch is from, they were a group who dealt in illegal alien technology. In another Equestria, they staged a coup and killed or kicked out every non-pony in Canterlot, and had plans to do the same to all of Equestria.”
“That's horrible!” Twilight exclaimed.
“I wish I could say that that’s the worst of it,” Sora said, “but I honestly don’t know what else you might face. Gwen could probably tell you, but…” He sighed, shaking his head. “A ten year old girl. No child should ever be thrown into this mess.” He gave another sigh before looking back at Twilight. “Just… try to figure out what sort of villains exist in the story her watch is from. You should tell her that they might show up eventually, but… let her settle in first.” His eyes went back to Gwen as they began to tear up. “I’m… afraid she’s probably stuck here forever. I’ve only met one other displaced who’s been able to find his way back to his Earth, and he’s an extremely unique case. When it comes time to tell her that, make sure you’re there for her. She’ll need a shoulder to cry on. Maybe several.”
“I’ll try,” Twilight said hesitantly. “She’s only with me because Princess Celestia is currently on business in the Mino’s isles, but I’ll tell her about this so she can help her.”
Sora nodded. “Good, that’ll work. Solari- Celestia and Luna will be good for her.” Sora took a deep breath before donning a cheerful grin. “Well, let’s not keep her waiting or she’ll think we’re talking about something bad. Just pretend I was telling you about how your BBBFF and former foalsitter are genderswapped.”
“Wait. what?” Twilight asked.
Sora just laughed as he launched himself into the sky, flying over to hover above Gwen. “Well, I’m off. Call me if you’re ever in a jam. If you’ll excuse me, I have a save-spot to find.” He pulled a single loop before flying off in the direction of Ponyville.
“What were you two talking about?” Gwen asked.
“Oh, he was telling me about how my big brother and his wife were the opposite genders,” Twilight lied. “Let's head back.” Twilight lit her horn and they teleported back to Ponyville.
Chapter 6 Tirek
As Celestia left to head back to Equestria I went to a meeting with the other kings of the Forever Knights as I entered the meeting room I saw King Iron Fist, King Steel Hooves and Titanium Forge sitting on my right and on my left was King Golden Visage, King Ebony Blade and King Ivory Bow. “Ah gentlebulls I am sorry to be late but I do have a country to rule after all.” I said as I took a seat at the table.
“It's alright my lord we know you have to keep up appearances.” Iron fist said.
“Anyway shall we begin?” I asked.
“Lets.” They all said.
“Alright then” I said as we begun to discuss where they would be heading with their troops.
Two weeks have passed since Sora came and I had my little incident with Alien X. We went to this place called the crystal empire which was boring as there was nothing to do as it was all business. But when we got back Twilight had to be called to Canterlot when she came back she was acting strange. Later that day we learned why.
“It appears we are at an impasse. How about a trade, Princess Twilight? Their release for all the Alicorn magic in Equestria.” Tirek said as everybody gasped before everybody argued Twilight not to do it. “Well what’s it going to be , Princess?” Tirek asked. Everybody in the bubbles were saying not to do it. “ENOUGH!” Tirek shouted “I want answers and want it now.” he said
“I will give you my magic, in exchange for my friends.” Twilight said as Tirek smiled.
“As you wish.” he said as most of the bubbles popped.
“All of my friends” Twilight said.
“After the way he has betrayed you, you still call him a 'friend'?” Tirek asked.
“Release Him!” Twilight shouted.
“If that's what you want.” Tirek said before freeing the mismatched creature and Twilight flying up to him to have her magic drained.
I was panicking Twilight was weak Tirek had all the magic there was nothing stopping him from taking over equestria. That's when I remembered Sora’s words “You can’t summon him again. Not unless the fate of Equestria is at stake.” I looked at the watch before realising all of Equestria was at stake.
I ran out of my hiding spot and shouted “HEY YOU BIG UGLY CENTAUR!” as I shouted that Tirek turned around and looked at me “HA YOU LOOKED! I shouted as I opened the Ultimatrix and had it on Alien X.
“Ah child your arrogance will be your own undoing.” He said as his horns charged an energy blast. As the beam fired I quickly slammed my hand down turning into Alien X. As the blast surrounded me she simply stood there taking the blast before it ended. “What imposible!” Tirek said.
Alien X stood there as Tirek sent blast after blast of attacks, all either bounced off it or had no effect upon impact. Tirek then simply tried to stomp on Alien X, and like stepping on a nail, after stepping on it he yelped in pain, clutching the now bleeding hoof that he tried to stomp Alien X with.
He then tried to swipe Alien X to the side...Alien X grabbed his hand by a finger, then squished it in it’s grip, sending a shockwave that ripped Tirek’s arm in half all the way up to his shoulder. As Tirek screamed in pain Alien X took one step, suddenly floating in front of Tirek’s face. As he stared at Alien X, fear striking deep into his being.
As Twilight rose from the crater she said “Tirek!” before releasing that Gwen was in front of him as Alien X. “NO!” Twilight shouted as they they blasted their Rainbow power at both Tirek and Alien X.As the shock wave hit replacing all the captured magic that Tirek had while not affecting Alien X. As the magic surrounded them Discord got up from the crater “Discord distract Alien X while we return the magic to Equestria!” Twilight said as they flew off.
“Great I have to deal with that thing.” He said having a bad feeling about fighting it but as the Alien X looked at him she simply looked at the direction where Twilight and her friends went and waited. As Discord realised something “It must be waiting for them to return to fight them.” He said as Alien X turned to him again and walked towards him. “Or maybe not.” he said as he flew up and thought “What if I did this?” he said as he removed his hand and teleported it to the dial on her chest. Just as Discord atached his hand to the dial Alien X flew up to look him in the eyes. Just as she was ready to punch him the dial was hit and she turned back to Gwen.
“Whoa!” she said as she began to fall but under her was a mountain of pillows. Before quickly getting off said mountain to vomit.
Before long Twilight returned and she was mad at Gwen “WHat were you thinking Gwen!” she said.
“I was only just trying to help.” I said
“By almost destroying all the magic in Equestria?” Twilight said before saying “You were only supposed to use that form when-” Twilight paused calming down and releasing something “when all of equestria is in danger.” she said realizing that she was only doing what Sora told her. “Oh Gwen I’m sorry you must have been scared.” She said.
“Ah don’t get it whats wrong with that form?” Applejack asked.
“Well she can’t control it and it has a tendency to be violent from what we’ve seen.” Twilight said before we went to her new castle.
As we entered we saw six thrones each with a cutie mark for who they represent “Hey where’s my throne Discord asked. We ignored him as Twilight talked to Celestia.
“I need to talk to you in private please.” Twilight asked as Celestia followed her.
“What wrong Twilight?” Celestia asked.
“Before I tell you this you have to promise not to tell Gwen yet.” Twilight said.
Celestia took a moment before saying “Alright what Is wrong Twilight?” Celestia asked.
“To start with Gwen is known as a Displaced.”
“Displaced?”
“I don’t know where the name came from but that's what they're called.” Twilight said before taking a deep breath “There’s more apparently villains from wherever her Ultimatrix is from.” Twilight said.
“What kind of villains are we talking about?” Celestia asked.
“Well I only know about one of them known as The Forever Knights apparently in another displaced’s Equestria and they ether killed or forced out of every non pony in Canterlot.” Twilight said as Celestia put her hoof in front of her mouth in shock.”There's more she apparently stuck here forever.” As Twilight said that there was an audible noise coming from behind the door of the room Twilight turned around to see Gwen standing there. Twilight tried to speak but I ran away as Twilight ran after me as I ran out the door and turned into Athena and flew away. “Rainbow follow her” Twilight said as Rainbow chesed her.
As Twilight tried to follow Applejack asked “Twilight what about us?”
Twilight looked at Applejack and the rest of her friends “You stay here if Gwen comes back I’m going after her.” Twilight said before soaring to the sky.
As I flew over the Everfree I spotted a castle where I landed and changed back to Gwen before walking to a corner and crying “How could they not tell me?” I asked myself as I cried. As I was crying I heard a pony land in the courtyard I got up and ran through the castle trying to avoid them.
As Twilight landed in the courtyard of the abandoned castle I pulled out a pair of Gwen’s clothing “Okay I have a tracking spell on these socks to find Gwen.” Twilight said as the piece of clothing pointed them in the right direction.
As ran through the castle they eventually came across me who was crying in the corner of a bedroom “Why?” She asked “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Gwen I’m sorry” Twilight said as I looked at her. “The reason I didn’t tell you was because Sora told me not too. Not till you were settled in at least.” Twilight said as she got close enough to hug me.
After a good five minutes of crying I finally stopped and noticed something “Why do you have my socks?” I asked.
“I needed them to track you” Twilight said before releasing “Maybe we should head back you good for flying?” Twilight asked.
“Yeah I’m fine.” I said as we walked to the court yard.
“Alright Ebony Blade you shall head to Griffonstone with your forces while your brother Ivory Bow shall head to the Diamond Dog citadel with his forces. Steel Hooves you shall head to Equestria."
Chapter 7 Sonata
As Canterlot was being repaired I was still staying with Twilight as Celestia was too busy to handle me. “I’m bored.” I said.
“Then read a book.” Twilight said as she returned to her book.
“I want to play outside.” I said.
“Well you can't you're still grounded for running away last week.” Twilight said as she again returned to her book.
“Package for Twilight.” A mailpony said as he placed a stack of books on the floor as the top book started to glow and vibrate
“It's from Sunset!” Twilight said.
“Who’s Sunset?” I asked.
“She was the Student of Celestia before me.” Twilight said before calling “Spike!”
As he came in He said “Yes Twilight?”
“We’re heading through the portal again” Twilight said.
I asked “So where are we going?”
“WE are going nowhere. Me and Spike are going through the portal to help our friends while you are staying here and be grounded.” Twilight said.
“Fine but when Celestia come i’ll tell her you left me all alone while you went off on whatever.” I said as Twilight sighed.
“Come on then.” She said as I smiled and followed her.
One adventure later
It was night and I was taking a walk around the town due to the fact i couldn’t sleep. As I walked the town I heard somebody crying and when I went to investigate it I saw that It was Sonata of the Dazzlings. “Why are you crying?” I asked.
“*Sniff!* My sisters abandoned me. They said it was all my fault we lost the battle of the bands! I just wanted to sing with them, why did this have to happen?” She continued to cry.
I took a deep breath before saying “You were hurting people and you had to be stopped.” she just looked at me with tears in her eyes I sat beside her “Look I know what's it's like to be alone but It gets better.” I said.
“I don’t know how to be alone. I’ve always just followed Adagio’s lead cause she always knew what was best for us. I just never thought they would leave me. I don’t know what to do.”
I thought for a minute “You know where the portal to Equestria is right?” I asked.
She looked to me in confusion. “Yeah, why?”
“Meet me there tomorrow at nine I think I can talk twilight into letting you come with us.” I said
“But the ponies there hate us Sirens. Because of the chaos we spread when we sing.”
“Well they probably forgot about you I mean how long have you been here?” I asked.
“I lost track a while ago. About 50 years I guess, our magic kept us as young as we wanted.”
“Well either way you're coming with us.” I said.
As day came we were about to leave but I stopped everyone “Why do you want us to wait?” Twilight asked
“I have another thing to bring beyond the portal.” I said.
“It better not be a puppy we don’t know what it will do to it.” Twilight said
“It's not a Puppy.” I said as I shouted “You can come out now.” I said as Sonata dusk came out from behind a pillar.
“Hi” she said waving as everybody was shocked.
“What is she doing her?” Sunset asked.
“She’s coming with us to Equestria.” I said as Twilight looked at me
“No she isn’t.” Twilight said.
“Yes she is.” I argued back.
To everyone's surprise, Sonata got down on her knees and bowed her head. “Please, I am sorry for all that me and my sisters have done. I know that you might not forgive me, but please! My sisters abandoned me and I don't have anyone else to count on!”
Twilight was still skeptical but I said “She’s coming with us one way or the other.” I then held the Ultimatrix up as a threat.
“Are you threatening me?” Twilight asked.
“That depends are you going to let her through the portal?” I asked as Twilight thought for a second.
“Fine Sonata go through the portal before I change my mind.” Twilight said as Sonata ran through the portal. Twilight then looked at me “I’m going to tell Celestia about this you know.” she said as I shrugged and walked into the portal.
“What just happened?” Sunset asked Twilight.
“I think I just got a new pony living in my castle.” Twilight said miffed.
As we arrived on the other side of the portal I saw Sonata being confused. “Umm?” Sonata said.
“Is something wrong Sonata?” I asked as Twilight came out of the portal with Spike.
“I think i’m supposed to be bigger?” she said as she looked at herself I was confused she looked like an earth pony...with a fish tail.
“You mean you aren’t a fish pony?” I asked as Sonta giggled.
“I’m a fish pony!” She giggled as I picked her up.
“Come On let's show Pinkie!” I said as Twilight held me in place with magic.
“Oh no your not you are still grounded and maybe longer when I tell Celestia what you did on the other side of the portal.” Twilight said as I let Sonata down.
“Come on Twilight I was just trying to help a friend out...but I guess the ‘Princess of friendship’ doesn’t care about that.” I said
She groaned before saying “FIne we’ll have Celestia decide on what to do.”
As we arrived In Griffonstone we were not met with a mighty city but crumbling ruins of a once great city “Tis a shame.” My head scribe started “A once mighty city now in ruins.” She said.
“Yes it's sad now what have you found out from the locals and the remains of the Library?” I asked.
“Well My king we have learned that there is an artifact known as the Idol of Boreas which was stolen by the Arimaspi it may be the key to us acquiring the lands for the High King.” she said.
I thought about it for a minute before saying “Where can we find this Arimaspi?” I asked
She paused looking through her notes before saying “Its in the Abysmal Abyss.”
I scratched my head wondering where the Abysmal Abyss was “Where is that?” I asked as she lead me to a pit.
“This is the Abysmal Abyss.” She said as I looked down.
I was stunned I could not see the bottom “How deep is it?” I asked.
“Unknown.” she said as I took a step back due to not wanting to fall in.
“How will we retrieve the Idol then?” I asked.
She paused again thinking for a second “We are looking into it.” She said as I smiled.
A week past as Sonata got to know everybody in town which was for better or worse. “Sonata you can’t just take thing without asking or paying.” Twilight said as Sonata looked at the floor
“I’m sorry Its how I use to get stuff back in the other world.” Sonata said as Pinkie came in.
“Hello what's your name?” Pinkie asked.
“I’m Sonata Dusk.” Sonata said
“What the hay are you?” Rainbow dash asked.
“I’m a fish pony.” she said giggling as Twilight stepped in.
“She is or was a siren that got banished to the other side of the mirror portal and she was part of a trio of villains known as the dazzlings.” Twilight said as Rainbow gave her the stink eye.
“I was till they abandoned me.” Sonata said as Pinkie gave her a hug.
“Ah don’t worry those meanies won’t hurt her again.” Pinkie said hugging her.
“Alright so give her the benefit of the doubt.” Rarity said.
“Yes it always best to give somepony a second chance.” Celestia said as she came in and everybody except me and Sonata bowed. Sonata hid behind me. “You may stop hiding my little pony.” She said as Sonata popped her head from behind me.
“I’ll stay here thanks.” She said scared.
“You have nothing to fear you are seeking redemption from your past actions which is a commendable act.” She said as Sonata blushed.
“Now on to the reason I came here Gwen you threatened Twilight and I must know why.” She said.
I looked at Twilight “I thought we agreed we wouldn’t tell her that.” I said as Celestia looked at Twilight.
“I never promised a thing.” She said.
“Okay then I threatened her because she wouldn’t give Sonata a chance.” I said.
“And why did you feel like you had to give her a chance to her?” Celestia said as looked at my surroundings.
“Oh I see how it is.” I said as celestia looked confused. “You want to throw her to the wolves.” I said as I grabbed Sonata and ran.
“Gwen wait.” Celestia said.
“Don’t worry Celestia she won’t get far the only thing that way is the guest rooms-” Twilight said before pausing “We need to chase her” Twilight said running as everypony looked confused.
“Why there's only the guest rooms back there.”
“And the the portal” Twilight said. As they chased her.
I quickly let Sonata down and changed into Athena “Where are we going?” Sonata asked.
“Portal room.” I said “We’ll hide with Sunset.” As we got to the mirror portal I used a shield spell to block the door .
“The portal is closed Gwen.” Sonata said.
I looked around and saw some books “Quick look through those books.” I said as I heard banging on the door.
“Gwen open the door!” Twilight said.
“NO!” I shouted back as Sonata handed me a book. “Okay lets see here.” I said walking up to the portal “Klaatu Barada Nikto!” I chanted as the portal opened. “Quick run!” I said as I changed back to gwen and ran in.
As we ran in the barrier on the door faded Twilight ran in to see my foot entering the portal “Gwen.” she said as she placed her hoof on the mirror “it's closed.” she said as she prepared to open it again but Pinkie stopped her.
“Twilight you might want to look at this.” Pinkie said holding a book.
“What?” she asked before reading the page the book was on “Oh no.” she said.
“What is it Twilight?” Rarity asked.
“Gwen used a randomizer spell to open the portal we don’t know where she could be.” Twilight said.
Chapter 8 Azeroth
Author's Notes:
Before the chapter starts I just want to say i hope I got all the characteristics of the characters from Wow as I have not meet some of them in the game.
As we exited to portal we found ourselves in a forest. I looked around wondering where Sonata was “SONATA?” I shouted?
“Right here.” she said as I looked under me to see her still a fish pony.
“Why are you still a fish pony I thought the mirror would have changed you into something else...unless we're in another Equestria?” I said as I got off her.
“I don’t know but- hey what's that?” Sonata asked.
As I turned around to see a small group being attacked by Murlocs “Come on!” I said as I looked at the Ultimatrix and went through the playlist and chose Armodrillo but what I got was Ripjaws “Armodrillo!” I shouted as I looked at myself before saying “Or Ripjaws.” I said as I charged into the fight. As I rushed in I bit one on the head and tossed one of them away before they scattered as I looked at the group that I saved only to see them running off.
I noticed that Sonata went to a nearby lake to swim. “You wanna swim?” She shouted as I realised my gills were getting dry I ran into the water and began to swim.
An hour passed as we swam in the small lake before some people came and caught us. I tried to break free but I was stuck. Before long we were brought to the castle in Stormwind and were I was thrown cell. “Rude” I said as I looked around as I quickly realised my gills were getting dry and I would have changed back I heard a voice coming in.
“This better be worth my time.” The voice said as I fell to my knees ‘drowning’ in air.
“There it is my liege the man sized murloc.” He said as I was forcibly changed back into gwen and passed out due to lack of air.
“What?” the king said as the man sized murloc turned into a little girl “What is the meaning of this?” he asked.
“King Varian I don’t know what happened I swear that when the soldiers brought it in it was a murloc” the man said.
King Varian looked at the girl before noticing the object on her arm “Open the cell.” He ordered as the man opened it as King Varian went in and knelt in front of the child and inspected the armband before noticing the symbol on it. “Bring her to a guest room.” he ordered as the guards did just that.
An hour passed as I woke up in a bed “Where am I?” I asked trying to remember where I was.
As I was thinking a guard came in and was surprised I was up “The King has requested your presents” He said as I followed him. As we entered the throne room I saw King Varian Wrynn sitting on his throne looking over pages of books with some scribes “My king the girl is here.” The guard said as Varian looked up.
“Ah child I see you're awake.” He said. “Could you tell me how you wound up in that cell?” He asked.
“Not till you return Sonata to me.” I said surprising him.
“What?” he asked surprised.
“Sonata the small blue fish looking horse that was with me.” I said as he looked at his adviser confused.
“Well there is something that matches the description that was found along with the Murloc.” The adviser said as Verian looked at me.
“Are you saying you were the murloc?” Varian asked shocked.
“I’m not telling till Sonata is returned to me.” I said as he sighed.
“Fine.” He said as he turned to his adviser “Where is this Sonata?” he asked.
“She’s in the stables with other horses.” The adviser said.
Varian sighed before ordering “Bring It here.” before turning to me “Now will you answer my questions.
“Yes that murloc was me.” I said as he looked surprised but just as I said that Jaina Proudmoore walked in.
“Varian I must speak to you.” Jaina said before noticing me “What’s with the child?” She asked as a guard came in carrying Sonata.
“Sonata” I said as she jumped out of the guards arms and came up to me.
“Hi.” Sonata said as both Varian and Jaina looked confused.
“Your pony can talk?” Jaina asked.
“Yep.” I said.
Varien ignoring the talking pony asked “You never explained how you turned into a murloc?”
“Well technically I didn’t turn into one but the way I transformed was this.” I said opening the Ultimatrix and changing into my Diamond Dog form. Varian and Jaina both were surprised when they saw that.
“How?” Jaina asked.”The closest thing to human druids are the worgen.” she said
I looked at her before transforming back and saying “It's the Ultimatrix the device on my wrist.” I said holding up my wrist.
“Where did you get it?” He asked.
I simply replied “Birthday gift.”as he looked bewildered.
“A birthday gift?” he asked “Who would give a child a device like that?” I just shrugged as he looked at me.”Anyway what were you doing all by yourself in the wilderness?” he asked.
“Thats where my portal spit me out.” I said.
“Portal?” He asked.
“I was running from something and opened a portal to somewhere and I wound up there.” I said.
“What were you running from?” he asked as Jaina coughed “Right my apologies Jaina, guards show Gwen her room.” he said.
“Wait i’m I allowed to leave?” I asked as he ignored me and spoke to Jaina.
As time passed I was sitting in my room waiting for something to happen while brushing Sonata. when Jaina Proudmoore walked in “You may leave guards.” She said as the guards left us. She walked up to me. “Hello. Gwen was it?” she asked.
“Yeah my name is Gwen.” I said as I stopped brushing Sonata as she jumped off the bed.
“May I see your device?” Jaina asked as I lifted my arm to show her the Ultimatrix as she held it she asked “How does it work?”
“I don’t know how the inner working work but I just touch the two buttons on the Ultimatrix choose the form and hit the dial.” I answered while showing her how it works.
“Do you know who built it?” she asked.
“It was build by Azmuth a Galvan... well his former apprentice Albedo built this version.” I answered.
“And how do you take it off?” She asked as I became suspicious.
“Why do you want to know that?” I asked. She paused for a moment before a guard came in saying that Jaina was needed in the throne room. As Jaina left I wondered what she wanted with that information. I just looked at Sonata and decided it was better to just wait and see.
As Jaina entered the throne room she knelt before King Varian before he spoke “What were you able to learn from Gwen?” Varian asked.
“Not much she probably became suspicious after I asked her how to remove it.” Jaina started “Anyway she said that it was created by something called a Galvin named Albedo but the original design was an Azmuth.”
“Anything else?” Varian asked.
“Well it should be noted she doesn’t know the more complicated parts of her device she did stait the transformation is quite simple to do.” Jaina said.
“Hmmm.” Varian said as he wondered what exactly this device was built for.
Days passed as I was asked more questions about the Ultimatrix. That's when I met both Maraad of the Draenei and King Gelbin of the Gnomes “Ah Varian it is nice to see you my friend.” Gelbin said.
“You too Gelbin.” Varian said before turning to Maraad “Hello Maraad”.
“Hello King Varian.” Maraad said.
“What did you need us for?”
“I need some information that the Draenei might have and I wanted to see if you could replicate something Gelbin.” Varian said as he motioned his guard to go fetch Gwen.
“I am confident in my abilities what do you want me to replicate?” Gelbin asked.
Just as he asked a Girl walked in. As Maraad and Gelbin wondered why there was a girl being escorted into the throne room and what it had to do with them. Just as I came in I walked over to Maraad and started to do something “Gwen what are you doing?” Varian asked as Maraad opened his mouth he quickly closed it as a beam came out of the Ultimatrix.
I looked at Varian before opening the Ultimatrix and chose the Draenei form and hit the Ultimatrix transforming into a Draenei surprising everyone.
“What?” they all said as I smiled.
“How?” Varian asked.
“I told you i can change forms with this.” I said as Maraad looked around me.
“She Transformed into a Draenei.” he said in shock.
“Now what to name this form?” I asked.
“How about Sha'tar?” Maraad said.
“What?” I asked.
“It means born of light. For you it's a literal name.” he said as I changed back to Gwen.
“Anyway Gwen could you show Gelbin your device.” Varian asked as I showed him the Ultimatrix.
“Hmm this is a interesting design.” Gelbin said.
“If you needed to could you replicate it?” Varian asked.
I was about to protest but Gelbin spoke up “I’m sorry but seeing her transform and inspecting the device tells me this is years ahead of what Gnomes are capable of.” Gelbin said.
“I see thank you Gelbin.” Varian said before turning to Maraad. “Maraad I need to know if the Draenei encountered a race called the Galvin on your travels or head of Azmuth?” Varian asked.
“I am sorry but we haven't.” Maraad asked as I stepped in.
“Azmuth wouldn’t help you anyway.” I said.
“And why is that?” Varian asked.
“He doesn't want his inventions used for war.” I answered before saying “And he’s heard it all before and he’ll hear them all again.” Varian was stunned he could end the war with this device but the creator would not help him and he could not ask a child to fight for him. As he considered his options he noticed that I was walking away after scanning Gelbin.
As I walked to my room and found Sonata looking in a mirror “What are you doing?” I asked startling Sonata.
“Eep.” She said jumping. “Oh Gwen you scared me.” she said.
“Come on we're leaving.” I said.
“Why?” Sonata asked.
“Because King Varian wants to use the Ultimatrix as a weapon.” I said as I grabbed Sonata and began to walk towards the main door of the castle as I made it to the throne room before being stopped by guards.
“King Varian wants to see you.” The guard said.
“Tell him no thanks.” I said as I tried to walk past them but they stopped me.
“You're coming with us.” The guard said as I struggled to get out of their grasp.
“Hey let me go!” I said as I hit the Ultimatrix turning into Bloxx and broke free of their grasp. As I grabbed Sonata I placed her in a basket i had created on my back and began to run out of the castle.
After a few hours of running we made it to Booty Bay where we got on a ship to the horde territories. “Why are we heading to Durotar?” Sonata asked.
“Because we are going to deal with Garrosh hellscream.” I said in a hushed tone as there might be horde with allegiance to Garrosh.
“So what are you going to do Gwen?” Sonata asked.
“Well I know of the boss of Ratchet is a friend to Thrall the former warchief so he might lead me in the right direction.” I said.
Chapter 9 Garrosh
As the ship arrived in Rachet we got off the boat and asked around for Gazlowe with responses varying from “What does a child want with Gazlowe?” to “Return to the Alliance lands welp.” and some more rude ones but I eventually found Gazlowe.
“Are you Gazlowe?” I asked as he turned around.
“Yeah I’m Gazlowe you an adventure because I have-” he started as he paused as he looked at me.”Sorry I don’t employ children.” he said as I got a smile on my face and scanned him. “Wait what did you just do?” he asked I pulled up the ultimatrix and chose the new Goblin form as I looked at him I hit the Ultimatrix down and changed into a Goblin “Whoa how’d you do that?” he asked.
“I’ll tell you somewhere private.” I said as he motioned me to follow. I followed him into a building where we were able to talk in peace.
“Alright spill how did you change into a goblin?” Gazlowe said as I changed back to Gwen.
“I have a device that lets me change into various forms.” I answered keeping it vague.
He looked at me and asked “May I see it?”
I was hesitant to show him the Ultimatrix “I’ve already shown it to the gnomes and they said they weren't capable of replicating it.” I said,
He just laughed and said “Yeah maybe they wouldn’t be able to do it but you're dealing with the big leagues now.” he said as I showed him the Ultimatrix and after a minute of him looking at it he said “Well I can be wrong this tech is way too advanced to replicate.”
I rolled my eyes as I said “Like I said can’t be replicated anyway I want to kick Garrosh out of the position of warchief.” I said as he took a step beck.
“Whoa you want to do what?” he said surprised “You're just a child why do you want to dethrone Garrosh?”
“He’s a tyrant and if he’s not stopped he’ll slaughter innocents.” I said remembering Jaina telling me how her city was destroyed by him.
“Well I do know a way to get you into Orgrimmar but it's to dangerous for a child.” He said as I thought for a good minute.
“Well could you take me to Thrall?” I asked.
“Why do you want to meet Thrall.” Gazlowe asked.
“Because he can take me to Garrosh.” I said as he looked at me confused.” I mean I can scan him walk into Orgrimmar and fight Garrosh.” I clarified.
“Look I honestly appreciate the offer but I won’t be able to live with myself if I were to send a child to Fight Garrosh.” Gazlowe said as I started to walk away. “Wait.” He said as I stopped “You're not going after Garrosh are you?”
“Yes I am because somebody has too.”
“Look kid he’ll kill you then take that device and use it to destroy all that stand in front of him.” Gazlowe said before sighing as I left. “Great- I have to warn Thrall.” He said running out of the building.
As we exited Rachet we began to make my way to Orgrimmar while we avoided the major roads as to not be spotted by the Orcs of Durotar. During the first two days we walked the Barrens to get to the Southfury watershed. On the the third day we finally made it to Durotar now we just had to make it to Orgrimmar which should be half a day's walk. “Can we stop?” Sonata asked.
I thought about it as we slogged through the wetlands “Sure let's find a place to hide” I said as we made it to a dry area and sat down to eat the last of our food. As we sat and ate under a tree I saw something coming towards us. “Sonata we gotta move.” I said as I got up. Before Sonata could question why I said that she saw a group of Orcs coming our way. As we ran I saw a place to hide I quickly changed into my Goblin form. As the orcs came into the hiding spot they didn’t see a human they say a goblin.
“What happened to the Human?” The orc guard asked.
“Human? What human?” I asked.
“There was a Human that ran in this cave.” The Orc said.
“Nope haven’t seen any human.” I lied.
“Alright then.” The orc said before noticing Sonata “What's with the blue horse.” I paused for a second before saying “Oh i’m going to sell it in Orgrimmar.” I said.
“And why would anybody buy a mis colored horse?” The orc asked.
“Well you never know what somebody might want it us goblins have intuition on these things.” I said.
The orcs were just out of the cave as Sonata said “Well i’m glad you talked them away.”
As Sonata said that the orcs turned around and asked “What was that?”
I looked at Sonata and said “So close Sonata... so close.” as I hit the ultimatrix and turned into Heatblast. “Alright then let's go” I said. After a quick fight the orcs were down. “Alright who do you bozos work for?” I asked.
They looked at me before saying “We’re part of Vul’jin’s resistance”
“Vol'jin?” I asked “take me too him.” I ordered as they got up and looked at me confused as I turned back into a goblin.
As I was taken to Thrall In Sen’jin village I was taken to Thrall. As he was talking to Vol'Jin “There have been no sign of that human Gazlowe spoke of.” Thrall said as I turned back into into Gwen.
“Looking for me?” I asked as he turned to see me standing there.
He looked surprised when he saw me “You're the human child Gazlowe spoke off?” he asked.
“Wait you got a message from Gazlowe?” I asked confused.
“I’ll take it as a yes.” He said as I fell to my knees and collapsed. Before I passed out I heard the voice of Sonata.
As hours passed I awoke in a bed in the village. “What happened?” I asked myself as I saw Sonata looking at me.
“Gwen are you alright?” Sonata asked as I got up from the bed I was in.
“Yeah I should be fine.” I said as I noticed there were some troll priests staring at me I looked back and asked “Can I help you?” I asked.
“Thrall and Vol’jin wanted to speak to you when you woke.” One of the Priests said.
I nodded before I said “Okay take me to them.”
As I was taken to Thrall and Vol’Jin I noticed that a few other horde leaders were here like Sylvanas, Baine Bloodhoof and a blood elf I didn’t know. As I entered I heard a conversation between Sylvanas and Vol’Jin. “What do you think about the girl?” The banshee queen asked.
“What girl?” I asked as they turned around to see me.
“Ah child you awake.” Vol’Jin said. “Now I heard from Gazlowe that you planned on taking Garrosh by yourself.” He said
“Seems you want a death wish even if you can shapeshift.” Sylvanas says offhandedly.
As she said that I looked at the ultimatrix before turning to Thrall “Could you stay still for a moment?” I asked as they looked confused. As I held the ultimatrix up I attempted to scan Thrall only for it to go red.
“Corrupted dna unable to scan.” the ultimatrix said as I looked at it.
“Corrupted?” Thrall asked.
“If i’d have to guess it might be the demon's blood that make you green.” I guessed before turning to Baine and scanning him “Works for you.” I said as I wondered what scanning Sylvanas would do. Would I get Banshee dna or Elf dna? I wondered.
“Hmm…” Sylvanas hummed, wondering how such a small thing could do such a thing. “Child, what are you planning to do with such a device?” She asks curiously.
“We’ll right now i’m wondering what happens if I do this to you?” I said scanning her. As she looked at me I went to the Ultimatrix and chose the new form I got from her. As I chose the form I turned into a dark ranger similar looking to her. “Well this feels off.” I said as Sylvanas gave me a look.
“And what feels off?” Sylvanas asks. “Is it the fact you're now a banshee? One of the undead?”
“Well this is the first time I’m actually undead there are some ‘undead’ forms on this thing,” I said while offhandedly mentioning wolfblizter, whampire, Snare-oh, ghostfreak and Frankenstrike. Before turning back and scanning the Blood Elf. “I don’t know your name. I said to the Blood elf.
“I am Lor’themar Theron, leader of the Blood Elfs.” He said as I looked at him and nodded.
“Alright child, you’ve met the leaders of the Horde now I believe it is time for you to head back to the Alliance lands before Garrosh learns about you and tries to take that device from you.” Vol’Jin said
“Sorry but I’m not leaving till Garrosh is stopped...plus the Alliance wants to use my device as a weapon.” I said.
“Typical.” Sylvanas states. “They would use it to not only deal with Garrosh but all of us as well. But let me ask, why should we believe you’re not just a spy for the Alliance and attack us after Garrosh is dealt with?” She asked, wanting to make sure there's no tricks here.
I thought for a moment before asking “Do you really think the Alliance would use ten year olds as spies?”
“It's war. People would stoop that low.” Sylvanas states.
I paused for a second thinking before saying ”If you really don’t trust me then I guess I’ll leave.” i said walking out with Sonata.
“It was nice meeting you.” Sonata said surprising Sylvanas.
“Wait hold on, did a horse just talk?” She asks, finding that very weird.
Thrall looked outside and saw the child transform into a creature and fly off after speaking to the horse to meet her by the cave after her business in Orgrimmar was over. “I believe she went to Orgrimmar...” he said as the rest of the horde leaders realised what she was planning.
“That stupid kid…” Sylvanas growled, knowing full well what I was gonna do. “Come on, we better stop her before she gets herself killed.”
As I landed in Orgrimmar I was surrounded by orcs. As I looked around I asked “So any of you going to take me to Garrosh?” As they rushed me I flew up and froze them before asking them “So where’s Garrosh?” I asked. One of them told me that Garrosh was in the great hall in the center of town.
As I made it to the Garrosh I saw that he was sitting on his throne planning. He got up and looked as an orc came in and “Warchief some of your warriors have been found frozen.”
“So the alliance has come to take me down.” Garrosh said.
“No warchief they said that some creature froze them.” The orc said.
“So they have some kind of beast.” Garrosh said as I spoke up.
“No they don't.” I said as they became on alert.
“Who said that?” Garrosh said “Show yourself!” he ordered. I flew down and froze the orc and Garrosh before turning to Gwen. As I stood in the great hall of the warchief. I noticed that the ice that Garrosh was trapped in was quickly breaking before I scanned him just as the ice shattered. As he stood there he stared at me “So a child dares to challenge the Warchief of the Horde!” He said as I backed up a bit. “Terrified are you?” he chuckled as he took a step forward.
“No I’m just doing this.” I said as I changed into an Orc.
He looked impressed “So you believe that becoming an orc will save you.” he said as he readied his axe, hefting it in his hand before slicing the air in front of me leaving a small nick against my nose causing me to yelp and fall back slightly. He was faster than he appeared.
Without wasting time he jumped into the fray leveling his axe vertically as I rolled to the side. I went for an uppercut only to duck even lower as he swung his axe haphazardly around my head missing by a few inches. I jumped back kicking against his gut and making him skid back while I regained my footing. Instead of waiting for a response he charged forward working through the pain as he sliced around in a frenzy forcing me to bob and weave through the assault.
“Stop dodging you damn weakling!” He screamed as he flung his arm out grabbing me around the neck and slamming me down into the floor. The axe swung down forcing me to grab it at the last minute flinging him back before it could scrape against my face again. I watched as the Warchief decided that enough was enough.
I stood up and looked at him before turning the Ultimatrix to Ultimate and hit the dial.”Look at me Garrosh.” I said as he looked confused. “A million years of war and the worst possible conditions imaginable forged this form.” I said looking at my left hand before staring at him “I am your ultimate dream and I’m going to take you down.” I said charging at him.
He looked impressed as he dodged my ramming attack causing me to fall. He then readied his axe to swing at me but before the axe head hit the ground I rolled out of the way and got up. “Still running coward.” he said as I headbutted him. As my head hit his he dropped his axe and took a step back as I grabbed his arm and pulled him towards me before kicking him in the stomach. As he took a step back I grabbed him again this time raising him high enough to drop on my knee breaking his back. “GRAAAH!” he screamed as he layed on the floor in pain.
As Garrosh layed there Thrall and the other horde leaders came in with Varian and Jaina behind them. “Where’s Garr-” thrall paused as he saw me standing there picking up Garrosh’s Axe.
“Hello.” I said waving as both the Horde and Alliance side.
“Who?” Varian asked before he saw the symbol on my chest “Gwen!?” He said surprised as I changed back to Gwen.
“Hello Varian.” I said as I tried to walk out with the axe before Thrall grabbed it and took it out of my hands “Hey that was mine.” I said.
“No it’s not.” Varian said before looking at Garrosh.
As Thrall went up to Garrosh “You disappoint me Garrosh.” He said looking at Garrosh “You are not worthy of your father's legacy.” he said raising his hammer but before he could strike Garrosh Varian stopped him.
“His punishment is not for you alone to decide.” Varian said.
“I won’t let you take him.” Thrall said as a Taran Zhu intervened.
“We have all suffered from his atrocities.” He started “My people, more than any other.” He said as I rolled my eyes. “Let him stand trial in Pandaria. There, we will meet out Justice for all.” He said as he chained up Garrosh while I wondered if I could show them what happens next with Clockwork.
As I wondered if I should do it I noticed Jaina talking to Varian “Already they plot against us.” Jaina said as I cut in.
“Actually there just choosing a new warchief.” I said walking towards them.
“And you know this how?” Jaina asked.
“Well there is the fact that there former warchief was just put on trial I believe it's a safe assumption.” I said as the Horde stopped talking amongst itself as Varian walked up.
“I will speak to your Warchief!” he ordered.
As Vol’jin looked at him he said “I speak for da horde”
“Very well, The horde has committed heinous crimes, Vol’jin.” He said as he stabbed the ground “But some among you fought against Garrosh’s tyranny. For that I am willing to end the bloodshed.” He said turning around “But know this...” he said walking to his sword “If your horde fails to uphold honor, as Garrosh did...” he said picking up his sword “We will end you.” He threatened before turning to me “Now let's go Gwen.” He said as I stood still. He looked at me and said “Child now.” he said firmly as I stood there.
“No.” I said as he stood there glaring at me.
“Gwen this is not a matter to be discussed your caretaker is worried about you.” he said.
I was confused when he said that and asked “Whats there name?”
He sighed “Do the words Twilight Sparkle mean anything to you?” he asked as I realised this couldn’t be a coincidence.
“Fine lets go.” I said following him.
A week over the sea and we were back to Stormwind “So where is she?” I asked as we entered the throne room.
“Gwen you are in so much trouble!” a voice said as I realized it was twilight.
“Hi Twilight!” Sonata said waving as I glared at her “What?” she asked me.
“Hi Twilight.” I said looking at the floor.
“Gwen your coming home right now and we will talk about this when we are back.” Twilight said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the garden, before we were out she looked at Varian and said “I’m sorry for any trouble she caused before casting a spell and turning a statue into a portal.
