The ultimate surprise
Chapter 22: Dillan helps Gwen
Previous ChapterDillan helps Gwen
A blur ran throughout the Everfree Forest, making quick stops to rearm her traps that had covered the forest. “Lets see. Hmmm, I think I’ll rearm Punchington Woods, that one always puts a smile on my face.” Gwen said to herself, doing what she said and rearming the trap. “There we go! Now what trap is next I wonder?”
“I see you’ve been busy lately Gwen.” Gwen turned and saw Paradox.
“Oh hey! If it isn’t times walking asshole!” Gwen replied with a smile. “What’s up doc?” she asked the TIme Walker while leaning against a rock and eating a carrot she got from seemingly out of nowhere.
“Nothing much, but I have heard of what you did recently.” Paradox said, frowning slightly, “Honestly Gwen, do you have to punish the poor mare for so long? All because of a little slip up?”
Gwen glared at Paradox, “Hey, she deserved it for what she did, now ponies know about my weakness! And if you’re here to lecture me, then you’re wasting your time!” Gwen angrily said, walking away from the Time Walker.
"Very well." Paradox said, opening his watch as a portal opens and he leaves.
“Hmph, honestly, you think he’d learned by now, I don’t care what is right or wrong, I’m a Goddess of Chaos and Monsters, I listen to no one!” Gwne said, then ran off to rearm more of her traps.
With Paradox, he exited the portal, seeing he was on the moon. “That girl is gonna end up getting herself hurt, or worse.”
"Having Displaced trouble?" Another paradox asked, his coat turning blue.
“Oh you have no idea.” Paradox said with a shake of his head,
"May I suggest another displaced person?" Blue coat paradox asked, opening his own pocket watch as a hologram appears of a boy with an Ultimatrix. "This is Dillan, a Displaced that is showing real promise with not only his Ultimatrix but in combat and diplomatic skills as well."
’Gwen did show signs of sanity when Jake tried to offer her help, maybe this Dillan could help her as well.’ Paradox thought to himself and nodded, “Very well, though he will have to be warned.” Paradox said, showing the blue coat Paradox a hologram of Gwen, “Gwen is very powerful and crafty, and she is even more stubborn than a mule.” he said as a mule appears.
"Understandable, and Dillan is stubborn as well. Not to mention he can use ki outside of transforming and he's able to keep up with hand to hand combat from basic training with the royal guard." Blue coat said.
Paradox nodded his head, “I see.” Paradox said,
"Roughly a year and a half in his dimension, and has defeated a few enemies from the prime universe. Including a combo of Eon and Animo that created a whole new species of alien that nearly froze his whole world." Blue coat said.
“Well, I can say this, Gwen will certainly have a handful if she tries to fight him, the only thing she has done is turn Vilgax to stone and sent him to the Null Void, thankfully, she made sure to put him somewhere where he won’t get shattered.” Paradox said,
Blue coat nods and opens a portal above them, as Dillan falls through onto his face. "Dude! Paradox! I told you to warn!-" Dillan started as he got up, pausing at the two paradoxes. "Please don't tell me your assistant is a time monster again."
“So you are Dillan. As you can see, I am Paradox.” Paradox said, holding his hand out,
Dillan blinked and looked between the two Paradoxes as he shook Paradox's hand. "Um, are you a Displaced Paradox or?" He asked clearly confused.
“No, though I do watch over a Displaced, a troublesome one that is.” Paradox said, showing Dillan the image of Gwen.
"Gwen Tennyson, with an Omnitrix. What's the problem?" He asked, crossing his arms. "She need a butt whooping?"
“No, though do go easy on her if she decides to fight you. You see, young Gwen is...insane.” Paradox said with a frown, “Though her insanity was fine at first, simple pranks and the like, but then it grew worse, to the point where she terrified ponies left and right with her aliens until the princesses sealed her in stone. Which surprisingly, calmed her down so she pulls childish pranks.”
Dillan looked at the hologram for a long while. "How was she displaced?"
“The usual way, buy something, end up in Equestria, but if you are asking if she was Displaced insane, no, in fact she was sane at first. But then she changed, I don’t even know how it happened.” Paradox said,
Dillan nods slowly. "Alright, I'll see what I can do."
“Thank you, I just need you to talk with her, help her.” PAradox said, “And do be patient with her, she is quite stubborn. Also, word of warning, she has been around for thousands of years, so expect her and her aliens to be much stronger than normal. And be careful if she goes Alien X, she is able to get her personalities to agree much more easily due to them being different than the ones you know.”
"I have full control over my Alien X as well, I can even go Ultimate to use its powers." Dillan said, popping up his ultimatrix and turning into Big Chill. "Let's go."
Paradox nodded and opened a portal and they walked into it. Once they exited it, they were on a cliff overlooking the Everfree, a blur could be seen through gaps in the trees, Paradox pointed, “That is her, be careful, this forest is filled with traps and magic siphoners, they’ll look like Null Void guns with one small difference being the small container on it, she uses them to avoid others from tracking her down.” Paradox said, “You’ll be stepping onto her territory so be careful.”
Dillan nodded and flew down into the forest, stopping and floating in the air as he waited. "Let's see if she'll take the bait.. I bet she doesn't like her forest and stuff being messed with." He said as he changed into Big Chill before he froze the entire area, including some of Gwen's traps.
With Gwen she had just finished rearming the last of her traps when she looked in one direction, seeing ice. “Ok, I know someone isn’t messing with my forest and stuff.” Gwens said angrily, running towards the source of the ice, seeing Dillan, “Alright buddy, I don’t know what a Necrofriggan is doing here, but you made a big mistake in messing with my forest as well as my traps!”
"Yeah I thought that would get your attention." Dillan said, crossing his arms as his wings unfolded revealing his blue Ultimatrix symbol.
Gwen went wide eyed when she saw the symbol, “I’m gonna take a guess and say you are a Displaced, but that can’t be right, I didn’t summ-oh no he didn’t.” Gwen said, then shouted to the sky, “Paradox you son of bitch! You brought a Displaced here?! You’re gonna get it now old man!”
"Chill Gwendolyn, he just wants me to talk to you." Dillan said, returning to his human form. "And yes I'm Displaced, my name is Dillan."
Gwen glared at him, “Let me guess Dillan, he told you about me didn’t he? He wants you to talk to me?” Gwen asked him, “And it’s Gwen! Not Gwendolyn!”
"Sorry, sorry. And yes he did. Though I'm not here to say you need to stop or anything. A harmless prank is fun once in a while." Dillan smiles softly at her. "Though I did want to ask about how you went insane."
The next thing Dillan knew, he was sent flying into a tree, breaking it in half, when he looked at Gwen, he saw that she was pissed, “You don’t need to know that!! You hear me?! So go away!!” Gwen shouted angrily, then ran off.
Dillan sighs, and flys after her. "Touchy subject?" He asked, keeping up with her still in his human form.
Gwen glared at him, then tried to punch him, “I said go away!!” she shouted,
Dillan caught the punch, smiling softly at her. "Calm down Gwen, I'm not here to fight."
“Well you should have thought of that before pissing me off!” Gwen replied, kicking him away from her, “Now leave me alone!!” she shouted again, running off deeper into the forest.
Dillan shakes his head and flies after her, picking her up and carrying her into the sky. "ok, now just calm down."
“Hey!” Gwen said, trying to get free, “Let go of me!” she then got an idea, she grinned and kicked Dillan in the shin.
Dillan drops her and holds his shin. "You little, fine. You won't listen normally, I'll make you listen!" He said grabbing her tail as she fell and spinning her rapidly before sending her flying out of the forest into Ponyville Town square.
Gwen quickly slammed a hand on the Omnitrix, causing a pink flash to appear before she crashed into the ground, making ponies look at the dust cloud with annoyance, “Oh come on! You just pranked us!” Rainbow Dash said, wiping away the makeup that made her look girly, “What is the prank….” she as well as the rest of Ponyville noticed Dillan, who was flying over to where Gwen crashed,
"You gonna listen now?" Dillan asked, crossing his arms, showing off his Ultimatrix.
“How about no!” Gwen shouted, just as she ran out of the dust cloud, now as Diamondhead, she then uppercutted DIllan before kicking him away.
However Dillan only skidded away a few feet, before Gwen noticed her diamond fist was cracked and broken. Dillan cracked his neck, and knuckles with a smile as the ponies watched on in shock. "You know… I've met very few Displaced thus far. But one I did meet was a Cooler Displaced who taught me to use ki not just in my transformations but my base form as well. And I've made sure to hone that power."
Gwen growled in anger, “You think a little extra power is gonna scare me! Think again!” Gwen shouted, slamming her hands on the ground, causing two hands made of crystal to burst from the ground and punch Dillan, though they did crack a bit when they did. “I’ve had thousands of years to hone my aliens abilities! Which will be more than enough to kick your ass!”
A bright blue flash emanated from where Dillan was, a freezing cold flowing from the spot as everything, even the air began to become ice. "Maybe I know you won't be able to fight this alien, after all it doesn't exist anywhere but my dimension courtesy of Animo." He said as even Gwen, who was made out of literal diamond grew cold.
“W-what the f-fuck?!” Gwen said, “W-what k-k-kind of alien d-do you have?!”
"The iccicleann." Dillan said, all the ice stoped expanding as it moved and melded into a tall bipedal being with blue hair. "an alien made by Animo using Eon's omnitrix, one that Azimuth himself had to make a counterpart to in order to stop. It's so cold it froze my planet literally turning trees and the air to ice, do you understand how cold that has to be?"
“T-th-that’s absolute z-z-zero temperature!” Gwen said, much to a certain pony’s shock.
“W-what?! Bu-but not e-even light can escape that!” Twilight shouted in surprise, making Gwen glare at Dillan before slamming her hand on the Omnitrix, turning into a alien with a large suit.
“NRGWEN!” Gwen shouted, “You are a complete fool! You’re going to freeze the entire town and kill anyone who is unable to escape the cold in time! I may be insane, but I don’t kill! Not even Vilgax! No matter how much he deserved it!” Gwen said in a Russian accent, clenching her metal fists.
Dillan smiles. "Good to know you're not completely insane, and neither do I. Why do you think the cold is around me and not spreading anymore? I can control it." He said, showing her what he meant as the cold air around them wrapped around Dillan, keeping it from harming anyone.
“Then you just got lucky! I don’t tolerate killers, but you still pissed me off!” Gwen shouted, trying to blast Dillan with a beam of radiation.
Dillan held up a hand just as the radiation blast hit, making it freeze into a solid block of ice. "That won't work, Azimuth had to make literally the polar opposite of this alien to beat it. Normal fire or radiation won't do anything."
Gwen groweld in anger, before getting an idea. “Well, if not even NRGwen can beat you, then I know who can!” Gwen changed again, this time into, “Alien X! Let’s see how you deal with me!” with a snap of her fingers she turned Dillan back to normal,
"Meh." Dillan said pissing her off even more, shocking all the ponies as he slams down his Ultimatrix with a smirk. "Two can play at that game!" He said now as Alien X as well.
"T-there's two of them now!?" Twilight said horror in her voice.
“Great! Just what we needed!” Rainbow Dash said angrily,
“You know, you’re really starting to piss me off. And I hate it when people piss me off!” Gwen shouted, flying at Dillan and tackling him, the two flying into the upper atmosphere as Gwen repeatedly punched him, “Why won’t you just leave me alone!?”
Dillan blocked each punch and stopped her from moving. "Because I just want to talk, and you're too quick to attack. I thought Gwen was supposed to be better than Ben."
“Shut up!!” Gwen shouted angrily, punching Dillan into an asteroid, before she made another asteroid crash into the one Dillan was on. “This will make you leave me alone.” she said, snapping her fingers and created a human sized black hole where DIllan was at. “Once you’re in, I’ll destroy the blackhole, don’t want it to cause me any problems in the future.”
Dillan teleports behind her and then the both of them back to Equestria before she could finish. He quickly touches her Omnitrix and returns her to normal, before grabbing the arm her watch was on and removing the Omnitrix core. "You may have had time to practice, but I've watched the show, studied and practiced everything about the Omnitrix since the show first came out." He said returning to normal.
“Give that back!” Gwen shouted, trying to get the core back while also trying to get free, “That’s mine! You hear me?! You give that back! I need it!” Dillan noticed that when she said the last part she had a hint of fear in her eyes.
Dillan smiles softly at her and releases her arm, kneeling down so they were face to face. "I'll give it back once you talk to me, what happened to you that made you like this, and why do you need it?"
Gwen growled, “I don’t know! You honestly think I know what drove me crazy!? If Paradox couldn’t figure it out, what makes you think I know?! I’m insane remember?! Just give me back the core! Please!” Gwen said, still trying to grab the core.
Dillan blinked at her, noticing a pair of orange and yellow ponies hidden near them. "Whoa whoa, it's ok. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, just calm down and talk to me ok?"
“No! You don’t understand! I need it! Please!” Gwen shouted, fear clear in her eyes and voice, “It keeps the monster away!”
Dillan blinks a bit, not understanding completely. He looks to her Omnitrix core and smiles softly at her, reaching out he takes her arm again and re-inserts the core into the pad. "There."
Gwen immediately held the Omnitrix close to her, fearfully looking around her as if something was watching her, Dillan put a hand on her shoulder still smiling softly while on one knee still. "It's ok, I won't let anything hurt you. How about you tell me what's going on ok?"
Gwen still looked scared but slowly nodded, “I need the Omnitrix, it protects me. From the monster.” Gwen said, holding the Omnitrix closer to herself.
"Monster?" He asked, looking worried. "Is something worse than Vilgax after it?"
“It’s not after the Omnitrix, it’s after me!” Gwen said, tears in the corners of her eyes, “It wants me to hurt ponies, it wants me to make them scared but I don’t want to!”
Dillan looks at her and sighs. "I'm sorry I didn't know, you know I'm sure the ponies would help you, it's kinda what they do."
“They can’t.” Gwen said quietly, looking down, “I tried everything to make it go away, the Elements, hell, not even Alien X could get rid of it, and a Celestialsapien is able to bend reality and create an entire universe!”
Dillan stares at her for a long while, before pulling her into a hug. Saying nothing and just holding her in a safe embrace, while rubbing her back.
Gwen immediately started to cry, her tears staining Dillans shirt as she whispered, “Don’t let it get me, I don’t want it to get me.” she said,
Dillan rubs her back more, simply holding her and rocking her a bit. "I won't, I'll help set up barriers for you so you'll be safe and if something happens you can use my token to summon me. I'll drop whatever I'm doing to help you."
She looked up at him, “P-promise?” she asked him, sniffling a bit,
Dillan smiles down at her and nods. "I promise, before I got displaced I lost my whole family. Including two nieces that you remind me of." He said booping her nose. "When I got my powers I swore to myself I'd never let anything happen to anyone if I could help it, so I'll be here for you if you need me."
Gwen sniffled again then hugged Dillan as if he was gonna disappear, “Please, I don’t want it to get me. Make it go away.” Gwen said quietly.
Dillan holds her closer, holding her like she was about to vanish as well. "I'll do what I can." He said resting his head on hers.
“T-thank you.” Gwen replied, a small smile on her face.
Dillan smiles and rubs her head, channeling his magic as he enters her mind. "Ok monster, where are you…" he said looking around.
As he was searching, he got confused when he sensed something else in her head. It wasn't what he was looking for, but it was definitely confusing and strange, before he could question it, he suddenly frowned when he found a dark presence trying to no doubt hide from him. “I hear it, it wants you to go away.” Gwen whispered, holding onto Dillan tighter, “It hates you.”
"Of course it does, I make you feel safe and it's feeding off your fears." Dillan said, as he searched her mind more. "But I'm not going to stop, you hear me monster? I'm gonna get you."
“Go away.” Dillan looked at Gwen when he heard her speak, as if a second voice was talking with her, he saw that half her face had become black with a jack-o-lantern like smile on the black half of her face, the eye and mouth glowing red, “Go away.”
"Make me." Dillan's said, rubbing Gwen's head more. "Remember Gwen, I'm still here. It's ok."
Gwen whimpers a bit before the demon glared at him, “She is mine, she will do what I say. You’re only delaying the inevitable.”
"See I don't believe that." Dillan smiles, shocking Gwen and the demon. "Because if that was the case and you could overpower the Omnitrix you'd have done it by now. Besides, I know Gwen can beat you, she's one of the strongest and most stubborn Displaced I've met."
“She cannot, she doesn’t have the courage to do so!” the demon said, making the normal part of Gwens face tear up,
Dillan smiles. "I bet she does, if she tries."
The demon growled, while Gwen gave him a scared look, “D-Dillan, I do-don’t know if I can.” Gwen said fearfully.
Dillan smiles and puts a hand on her shoulder. "You can Gwen, that monster only has what power you give it from your fear. Don't give it any."
“He’s lying child, I am much more powerful than you, you know this. So give up and obey me!” the demon said, but Gwen whispered, “Go away.”
Dillan smiles. "That's it, keep going, don't let it get to you. You're stronger than you know!"
“G-go away.” Gwen said, the demon side of her face looked surprised before growling, but before it could say anything, Gwen shouted, “Go away! Just leave me alone!”
Dillan smiles as the demon's power weakened slightly, just enough for him to put his hand on that side of Gwen's face and rip half of it out of her with his magic without her knowing. Sealing it away within himself.
Gwen blinked a few times, then looked around, “It’s….it’s gone..” Gwen said,
Dillan smiled softly and rubbed her head. "I know you had it in you. Though don't let your guard down ok? It could come back."
Gwen tackled him into a hug, crying into his shirt with a smile on her face, “Thank you, thank you so much.” she said to him,
Dillan smiles and pulls out a small string and another Omnitrix core, turning it into a necklace. "Here, this is my token. If one core helps keep you safe, two should be extra helpful. Plus if anything happens to yours you can use this one as a replacement." He said rubbing her head.
Gwen smiled as she accepted the Token, "T-thank you." she said, then gave him something, it was an exact copy of her Omnitrix, except it was turned off. "That my Token, just switch the dial to an image of me and press down on it, I'll come if you need any help."
Dillan smiles and nods. "Now then, I'm betting you have a lot on your mind, how about I cook us some food and we talk about it?"
Gwen nodded just as her stomach growled, causing the Goddess to blush in embarrassment, “I-I guess I c-could go for something to eat.”
Dillan chuckles, and stands up. "Lead the way to your place and I'll cook up something you won't forget."
Gwen nodded and began to lead DIllan to her home, the two going past every kind of childish trap possible, some were downright loony. Such as an anvil on rope.
"You must have loved looney tunes back home." Dillan said, looking at them all.
“Eh, it did give me some ideas for traps.” Gwen replied,
"I can tell." Dillan said with a chuckle.
“Anyway, we should be getting close to my home soon.” Gwen said, and true enough, the two reached a cave, and if DIllan looked close enough, he could see that it was surrounded by Gwen's Magic Siphoners, “Welcome to my humble abode! It may not look like much on the outside, just wait till you see the inside.”
Dillan smiles. "Lead the way."
Gwen nodded and the two entered the cave, Gwen leading him past some of her traps that she had put in the cave, soon the two had reached a large room that had multiple chests, one side of the room had a kitchen, “Hey Nighty, I brought a guest! So be nice and try not to mind control him.” Gwen said,
Dillan raises an eyebrow with a smirk. "A boyfriend?"
Gwen rolled her eyes, “No way!” Gwen said, then walked over to a chest and knocked on it, causing a dark blue mist to come out of it, “Dillan, I believe you’ve heard of Nightmare Moon, or what’s left of her anyways.”
Dillan blinks at the mist. "Um hi?"
”You seemed surprise to see me.” Nightmare Moon said,
"Well truth be told in my dimension you've been gone for almost… three years?" He said not entirely sure.
”I see, well is your Nightmare Moon dead or simply removed from Luna?” Nightmare Moon asked Dillan,
Dillan blinked. "Huh, I never actually checked. Though the castle of the two sisters is underwater now. My world kinda flooded." He said, rubbing his head. "Canterlot Castle is basically beach front property now."
Gwen blinked in confusion, “Whatever happened that caused a flood that big must have been pretty strong. Was it the Icciclean? You know the alien you changed into.”
Dillan nodded. "When me and another Displaced beat it the ice and snow melted. And remember I said it literally froze plants and the air so yeah lots of ice."
Gwen nodded, “Yeah I can see how that can cause a flood.”
"Yeah, hope to any higher god here that Animo and Eon never team up here. It can be bad." Dillan chuckles. "Anyway, I promised you a meal, so mind if I use what's in your fridge?"
”Oooh! Is the so-called Goddess on a date?”
Gwen immediately tenses before banging on the chest, “Shut up! It’s not a date!”
Dillan covers his mouth and tries not to laugh, before heading into the kitchen. "Alright let's see…" he mumbled looking in the fridge. Dillan grabs some raw chicken and pasta and tomatoes out of the fridge.
“Whatcha making?” Gwen asked him,
:Please let it be something other than ramen, you have no idea how many times this girl makes that stuff.” Nightmare Moon said, receiving a glare from Gwen.
"And what's wrong with that? Ramen is amazing." Dillan said with a smile. "And I'm making chicken parmesan and garlic bread, with my mother's secret sauce…" He said pausing for a second with a slight frown.
“Bad memories?” Gwen asked him,
Dillan sighs. "More of… sad now. But yeah, about a month before I got displaced my family died…. Including my girlfriend and our unborn child… I guess that's why I didn't stop pestering you until you talked to me. You remind me of my nieces."
“I see, I’m sorry you lost those close to you.” Gwen said, then hugged him. "No one should have gone through that.”
Dillan smiles and rubs her head. "So I told you my story, your turn." he said with a smile.
"Well what do you want to know?" Gwen asked him, "Cause I'm pretty sure me and Paradox told you everything about me."
"Well how'd you get displaced and what happened?" He asked, mixing up some flour and sugar with the mashed tomatoes.
Gwen sighed sadly, “I honestly don’t remember Dillan, I really don’t.” Gwen said, “Due to my stupid insanity, I’ve pretty much forgot my old life. Being in stone didn’t help either.”
Dillan stared at her for a bit and smiled softly, cooking and breading the chicken. "Well, I'm no expert. But maybe you can build a good life here, as long as you don't prank the ponies… too much." He smirked.
Gwen laughed, “Well it’s a bit late for that.” Gwen replied, then frowned, “I already made a few enemies here in the forms of most of the Mane 6, though Rainbow Dash is the biggest pain in my ass.”
Dillan smiles softly and rubs her head. "Key word in that sentence, MOST of the main six. I'm guessing not all and that's a start."
Gwen chuckles, “Yeah, well the only ones who isn’t considered an enemy is Fluttershy, obviously, and...Applejack, though I’m really starting to dislike her.”
"Why?" Dillan asked, turning into Heatblast and sending some flames over some buttered and garlic bread to toast it.
“Well for starters, I let my one weakness be revealed to her.” Gwen pointed at the Omnitrix, “The recharge feature, and I specifically told her not to tell anyone. Yet she does the opposite.”
"I mean she is the Element of Honesty, if she breaks that element it won't work. So." Dillan said but nods. "Though I can see your side of it."
“Yeah, well, still pretty pissed at her.” Gwen replied with a huff, then thought of something, “Hey, Dillan? Seeing how you have my Token which also works as an Omnitrix, wouldn’t that mean you could use both yours and mine to make the Biomatrix?”
Dillan raised an eyebrow. "Huh, maybe I could. Though I'll have to do that later." He said putting a plate of chicken parmesan with spaghetti and garlic bread Infront of Gwen.
“That looks delicious!” Gwen said with a smile.
"Bone appetite." Dillan smiles, eating some of his own. "Also while ramen is delicious, you probably should eat healthier."
Gwen rolled her eyes and said, “Ok dad.”
Dillan chuckles. "Yeah no, no way I'm a dad. More of an uncle."
“Ok uncle Dillan.” Gwen replied before happily eating her food.
Dillan stares at her and smiles softly, while eating his food. "So, um. I know you're not friends with them. But I think you should try making amends with the main six… if only so if something happens they can help you if I can't make it for whatever reason."
Gwen frowned slightly then sighed, “I don’t know, Dillan. I know they wish for what is best for me, cause you know, I look like a filly to them.” Gwen said, “But frankly I don’t think I can trust any of them, minus Fluttershy, I trust her. But the others not so much, Twilight basically treats Spike as a slave then a living being, and Rarity keeps leading the poor drake on, making him think he has a chance with her. And don’t get me started on Rainbow Dash.”
Dillan sighs. "I know, they have their flaws just like everyone. But I know they wouldn't want anything to happen to you, and honestly. I'm worried something will happen if and when I leave… I lost my family and I don't want to see a friend lost as well."
Gwen looked down, thinking about what Dillan said, then sighed and looked at him, “Alright, let’s go talk to the ponies. But I will kick their asses if they try to take my Omnitrix.” Gwen said, holding said device.
Dillan smirks as they finish eating. "Same here."
Gwen smiles, “Well now I don’t whose ass to kick, theirs or yours, you’re stronger than me! And I had years to hone my aliens abilities.” Gwen said with a laugh.
Dillan laughs. "It's not just about honing your abilities. You also gotta get into your opponents heads, anticipate their next and most probable move with what information you have. Paradox td me how you can use alien x and how stubborn you are, so I planned for alien x and I acted how I would for my nieces of they threw a tantrum, adding in my past knowledge from the ben 10 franchise I was able to think on my feet and overcome what you threw at me."
Gwen lblinked, “Wow, I almost feel sorry for any bad guy you have to fight. Key word almost.” Gwen said, then propped up the dial on her Omnitrix, “Well, shall we go talk to the ponies?”
Dillan nods and poops up his ultimatrix as well, before turning into fast track. "Ready to go?"
A pink flash appeared and Gwen had become Big Chill, “Yep!” Gwen said, the turned intangible, “See you at Ponyville!” she shouted while phasing through the caves wall.
Dillan chuckles and dashes to ponyville through the forest.
The two soon reached said town, seeing that ponies were going about their day, that was until they saw the two Omnitrix users and immediately ran into their homes.
"Welp, time to wait until the main six show up and assume the worse." Dillan said returning to normal.
“Yeah.” Gwen said, changing back as well, but also hiding behind DIllan,
Dillan smiles at her and rubs her head, as Rainbow show's up first with the rest of the main six behind her.
“Alright, we already have enough trouble with one shapeshifting ‘Goddess’,” Rainbow Dash said, “We don’t need two of you causing trouble!”
“Rainbow knock it off!” Twilight said angrily, then turned to Dillan, “Who are you?! Are you related in some way to her?!” Twilight pointed at Gwen, who glared at the unicorn.
"Not by blood, I… kinda became an adopted uncle." He chuckled, rubbing Gwen's head.
Gwen smiled at him but then glared back at the Mane 6, just they stared in shock, well Flutterthsy was smiling slightly, “That’s good to hear, Gwen needs someone to help take care of her.” Fluttershy said,
“Buck that! What she needs is that stupid thing removed!” Rainbow Dash said, pointing at Gwen's Omnitrix,
Dillan steps forward a few feet, keeping Gwen behind him. "How about no, she needs it to keep herself safe."
“Yeah right! Like we believe that!” Rainbow Dash replied, “She may have everypony fooled, but not me! I read that history book, she’s a mons-”
Dillan is suddenly in her face and grabbing her neck, shutting her up. "Same old Dashy no matter what the dimension. Always jumping to conclusions and rushing head first into things."
“Rainbow! Let her go!” Twilight said, her horn glowing before a pink flash appeared, and a pink slime covered her horn,
“Sorry Sparkle, but can’t have you hurt him.” Gwen, now as Goop, said, then she turned to the rest,
"Gwen." Dillan said, getting her attention. "It's ok, let me talk to them alright?"
Gwen looked at Dillan, uncertainty in her eyes, but she did change back, “Alright, but if they try anything, I’m going Way Big on them.”
Dillan smiles softly at her and rubs her head again. "Relax even if they do, they can't hurt me, I'm stronger than you remember?" He asked with a wink, getting shocked gasps from the ponies as he lets Rainbow go.
“Y-you’re stronger than her?! But that’s impossible! She has proven time and time again she’s the strongest being in all Equestria!” Twilight said, holding up a book, “Even this book says she is capable of creating earthquakes!”
Dillan smirks and looks at Gwen. "Armadillo?"
Gwen laughs nervously, “No, um, Way Big, but I made sure they wouldn’t cause any damage.” Gwen said, rubbing the back of her head with a sheepish grin.
Dillan nods and looks to the ponies. "Anyway, yes. I am stronger than her, physically, statistically, and with knowledge about our powers… no offense Gwen." He looked at her for a second. "Plus I have way more transformations, including the absolute zero one from before that I know you saw and one that can manipulate time itself."
“M-manipulate….t-time?” Twilight asked, her mane starting to go crazy, “I...I-I think I need to sit down.”
Gwen holds back her laughter, “I think you broke her.”
Dillan gave Gwen a look that said not helping. "Anyway, yes manipulate time. But that's not even my most powerful transformation. But enough about that… I need your help."
“What? What could possibly need our help with?” Rarity asked Dillan in confusion.
Dillan bows his head. "Protecting Gwen." He said seriously, shocking them. "Something… something monstrous is after her. Her omnitrix is the only thing keeping it back. Gwen may be insane, but that thing is pure evil. And I can't stay here, you see I'm from another reality. Another Equestria… yes multiverse is real so is omniverse." Dillan said as Twilight opened her mouth. "I promised Gwen I'd help her however I could, but… my duties back home could prevent that and I need to make sure she's safe."
The Mane 6 looked at Dillan in shock and Confusion, well the confusion is mostly from Twilight as her head was filled with questions, the silence was broken when Applejack spoke, “I’ll help take care of her, shoot, I’ll even give up my Element if it means protecting Gwen.”
Fluttershy nodded, “We know she’s done some bad things and doesn’t want or need anyones help, but I’ll still help her in any way I can.”
Dillan smiles and looks at Gwen, putting his arm around her. "As for her actions. There's no excuse for it, however I'd like to explain to you all what we are to give you some… perspective."
“What do you mean by that?” Twilight asked,
"We're what's called displaced. People that are stolen from their home worlds and sent to alternate dimensions of equestria." He said shocking them. "I'm not gonna go into details about the powers and all that because that would take too long, but I want you to imagine how it would feel. To never go home, never see your friends or family again… now imagine that for a child." He said putting his hand on Gwen's head.
Gwen looked down sadly while the Mane 6 gave ehr saddened looks, Applejack thinking to herself, ’Ah knew she was hiding something, just didn’t expect it to be that.’
"So please, I understand she's done some pranks. But watch out for her ok?" Dillan asked, smiling softly at Gwen. "She could really use it… even if she is stubborn as a… Rock."
Applejack chuckled, "Ah'd say she's more stubborn than a mule, but yeah, you can count on me and Shy to watch over her, and if possible the others as well?" Applejack asked the others,
The rest of the Mane 6 gave nods in reply. Though Rainbow Dash still looked hesitant in agreeing to help Gwen.
Dillan chuckles and points to Applejack's side, where a mule was shaking his head. "And that's why I said rock."
“Why is it that everytime someone says that, a mule is around?” Twilight asked,
Dillan could see that Gwen chuckling a bit at the Mane 6’s confusion.
Dillan chuckles and rubs her head again. "Who knows, but thanks for looking after Gwen. Aj, Shy. You've already seen the monster I was talking about." He said shocking them. "I knew you were watching us in the forest the whole time."
Gwen went wide eyed when she heard that, before whispering to Dillan, “You knew?! Why didn’t you tell me?! I didn’t want anyone finding out!” Gwen had a bit of a fearful look on her face.
Dillan smiles sadly at her. "Because if I had, you wouldn't have opened up to me at that time, and that… thing would still be in your head. You were freaking out and if I had waited any longer I'm sure that thing would have gotten ahold of you again." He whispers to her as he kneels down and hugs her, shocking the main six. "Besides since they know at least those two, now if something happens they can help you calm down like I did before."
“I…” Gwen said then sighed as she returned the hug, “I just don't want to hurt anyone, I nearly did thousands of years ago.”
Dillan nods and picks her up, holding her in his arms as the main six watch in surprise. "I know you don't, and you won't. You're a good kid Gwen, you've just made some bad choices."
“He’s right sugarcube, yer a good kid, a kid who just needs a little guidance and love from a family.” Applejack said, walking up to the two.
Dillan smiles. "And no better family than the Apple family."
Gwen looked at Applejack, giving the mare a small glare as she did, then turned away, "I don;t think I'm ready to trust you yet AJ." Gwen said quietly, but Applejack still heard her, making the mare frown but then smiled slightly, "But....someday I will. Just not today."
"Well she did betray your trust so that's understandable." Dillan said.
“Yeah, and I regret doing so everyday.” Applejack said, “AllI ask is yer forgiveness Gwen.”
Dillan looks at Gwen, smiling softly. "Just give her some time AJ."
Applejack nods her head, “She can take as much time as she needs.” she said, then Gwen said,
“So we talked to the ponies, now what?” Gwen asked Dillan.
Dillan smiles softly at her. "I guess I go home."
Gwen nods her head, “Alright, but before you go I have a question to ask.” she then looked at the ponies, seeing them talk amongst each other, then she looked back at Dillan, “Is….is it alright if I can get a few new alien scans of my choosing? Please?” Gwen asked DIllan,
Dillan smiles. "Sure, however if I find out you used them for pranks when i come back I will lock them."
Gwen laughs a bit, “Well, you got me there, but….I also want to use them for hero stuff in case of a villain shows up.” Gwen said,
Dillan nods. "Sure, which ones?"
“Well which ones do you have?” Gwen asked Dillan, “Cause other than the Icciclean, Alien X and Big Chill, I have no idea what aliens you have.”
"All of them." Dillan said. "From the original to omniverse. Plus a few… hundred from other shows that I met displaced of."
Gwen went wide eyed, “Wow, you sure meet a lot of Displaced don’t you?”
"Nope, a few hundred pokemon scans from a single displaced universe." Dillan chuckled, shocking Gwen. "Only two Displaced were there tho."
“Wow, and all those were just Pokemon from one universe? I got to meet this Displaced someday.” Gwen said with a smile, then had a thoughtful look on her face, “Can I take a look to see which ones I want?”
Dillan hums. "sure, but I'm locking the legendary pokemon and Rath…"
Gwen pouts, “Aw, why lock Rath?” she asked him,
Dillan looks at her. "I'm sorry Gwen, but I don't think Rath with insanity is a good idea "
Gwen nodded in understanding, “Yeah, I guess you’re right. That would be pretty bad.” she said, “And I can understand the Legendaries as well. But that still leaves a bunch of other scans for me to pick. You also said you had met a Cooler Displaced right?”
"Yup, I have a cooler, namekian, saiyan and cell scan…thought the only displaced I met was a cooler…. Omniverse stuff happened and I met another displaced Dillan from another reality who gave me some scans." He quickly explained
“Man the Omniverse is both weird and awesome. Wonder if I’ll run into another me except sane.” Gwens said, then shook her head, “Well, I think I’ll have the Frieza race as one of my scans, the others I’ll have to take a look.”
"Alright, also the unofficial name is arocrasian." Dillan said fiddling with his ultimatrix. "Alright so I locked everything but the frieza race, but I can tell you all the names of the aliens from the show and powers."
“Alright.” Gwen replied with a smile.
Dillan smiles and sits down, as Twilight takes out a quill and pad of paper. He shakes his head and begins explaining each transformation from the show, along with their powers taking the better half of two hours explaining them all. Including his pokemon and Dragon ball z scans and powers.
“Wow, I knew some of those guys were tough but wow.” Gwen said in shock,
"Oh my, and Gwen is getting them?" Fluttershy asked Dillan timidly.
"Not all of them, I'll limit it to say… two from ben 10, two from pokemon and… one from dbz. She already chose her dbz scan." Dillan said.
“Yeah, I got to have a limit on how many scans I can choose, otherwise I’d choose all of them.” Gwen said with a smile, then she turned to Dillan, “Alright, I think I’ll have Chromastone, Lucario, Gardevoir and maybe a random scan from you. Just try not to give me The Worst or Walkatrout.”
Dillan Chuckles and nods, messing with his ultimatrix for a few minutes. "Alright hold up your omnitrix."
Gwne did as he said, holding up her Omnitrix.
Dillan puts his ultimatrix next to her omnitrix, before both glowed yellow and multiple new black silhouettes appeared on Gwen's omnitrix. "Ok so I did the ones you asked for, I also added snare-oh and a scan of each pony race. Oh and a dragon scan."
Gwen smiled at that, “Awesome! I only had one Pony scan before, now I have all four tribes? Plus a dragon? Thanks!”
Dillan Chuckles playfully and smirks. "Who knows when you become a dragon maybe Spike will want to date ya."
“Oh geez, please don’t joke like that. A certain unicorn has the nerve to lead him on.” Gwen said, glaring at Rarity.
Dillan glanced at Rarity. "Not cool."
“Trust me, I’ve been punishing her for that.” Gwen said, “And I’m still thinking of morre ways to do so until you finally tell the poor guy the truth!”
“Seriously Rares? Just tell Spike the darn truth already.” applejack said, shaking her head before turning to Dillan, “So Gwen now has new uh, scans?”
"Yup, new transformations." Dillan nodded. "A living crystal capable of reflecting energy, a living mummy, and some other stuff. Including each pony form and a dragon."
“Each pony form? You mean Earth, Pegasi and Unicorn?” Fluttershy asked DIllan,
“Yep! I only had one pony scan, but now I have all of them!” Gwen said happily.
Dillan nods. "Also, Gwen what do you know about the omnitrix?"
Gwen tilted her head in confusion, “i know it;s original purpose is to let others walk in the footsteps of another beings, able to splice DNA when needed, change its bearer into an alien that survives something that alien is known for surviving. Why?”
"Good, however did you know that scans aren't limited to one race or species on any one planet? Or that toepick's race was once the same as eyeguy?"
“Yeah. I knew that.” Gwen replied, then tapped her head, “I may be insane but I’m not stupid.”
"I didn't say you were, just not a lot of people know that eyeguy and toepick are genetic cousins." He said.
“Well, good thing I remember at least something from my old life, I remember trying to figure out where the fuuuudge Toepick came from.” Gwen said nervously while Applejack gave ehr a stern look, “Come on! Can’t I just swear at least once in front of you?!”
"To be fair you are a child." Dillan said.
“Oh come on! I’m thousands of years old! I only look like a child!” Gwen whined,
"Technically the elements freeze you in time, so just because you've been around for thousands of years doesn't mean your thousands of years old." He said
“Oh hush you, I actually have been around for thousands of years, I was around since Discord, Sombra, and many more.” Gwen said,
Dillan blinks at her and looks back at Applejack. "Why do you not want her cussing?"
“Even when she says she’s older than all of us combined, she’s still a filly to us. No matter what she says, I know she’s more than mature enough to take care of herself, but still.” Applejack said,
Dillan shrugs. "Eh fair enough."
Gwen huffs while crossing her arm, further proving Applejacks point about Gwen being a child,
Dillan chuckles and stands up. "I guess it's time for me to go."
Gwen frowned, “Yeah, I guess so.” Gwen said, then smiled at Dillan, “It was nice meeting you Dillan, hope to see you again someday!”
Dillan laughs as both paradoxes show up behind him, and he rubs her head. "You kidding? I'm your 'uncle'." He said using air quotes. "You can bet we'll be seeing each other again!"
“Ok uncle Dillan!” Gwen said happily, then turned to her Paradox, “I’m pretty ticked at you old man, buuut...I guess a little help from others couldn’t hurt every now and then.”
Paradox chuckles as Dillan hugged her, smiling. "Just so you know, I can use clockwork to get back here anytime. So don't make me come back to kick your butt!"
Gwen smirks, “Just try it! I’ll be ready by then!”
Dillan laughs and kisses her head, making Fluttershy d'aww as he turns to leave. "Oh!" He said turning back to her. "Let me see your omnitrix."
Gwen looked at DIllan in confusion before showing her Omnitrix, “What ya doing now?” Gwen asked him,
"A precaution." He said fiddling with her omnitrix.
"Arocrasian dna locked." Her omnitrix beeped.
"Now before you get worried or upset." Dillan said, holding up his hand when she opened her mouth. "I locked it because even though the omnitrix implants basic knowledge into you when transformed, it's a very powerful and dangerous transformation. I've locked it until I can train you properly in ki control."
Gwen had a disappointed look on her face but nodded, “Yeah, that’s probably a smart move. Don’t want to accidently um….you know.” Gwen said,
Dillan nods. "Exactly, though if that did happen id use the dragon balls to undo it."
"The dragons what now?" Applejack asked.
“Not those kind of dragon balls!” Gwen said to Applejack, “Magical orbs that have incredible power. That’s all I’m gonna say.”
Dillan nods smiling at Gwen. "See ya soon, and if you unlock the arocrasian dna summon me right away ok? That or have dox bring you to my world."
Gwen nodded, “Will do!” Gwen said with a smile,
Dillan Chuckles and hugs her again, before walking towards the paradoxes and the portal. "Make sure she doesn't do anything too crazy!" He called to Applejack and Fluttershy.
Both mares nodded their heads, “We’ll try, but Gwens is known for one thing and that’s being stubborn.” Applejack said,
“I Thought that was me always causing mischief?” Gwen asked,
“Well two things.” Applejack said,
Dillan laughs and turns away, walking through the portal. "See ya GWENDOLYN!" He called playfully as it started to closed.
Gwen went wide eyed after hearing Dillan say that, before angrily saying, “Oh you motherfu-OW!” Gwen shouted in pain as Applejack grabbed her ear, “Not the ear again!”
Dillan laughed as the portal closed completely, with his paradox going with him.
“Can you let go of my ear now?” Gwen asked APplejack,
“Eeeynope!” applejack replied,
“Oh come on!” Gwen whined.
