Author's Notes:

Sorry for this long chapter, I just have this problem where I don’t know where to stop.

It took maybe half an hour, but eventually we finally managed to get through the forest and to the edge of Ponyville. At least we think it was the edge. It is kinda difficult to tell when the place looks like what happens when a bunch of Gmoders are given free rain of a map for a few hours. The ground had the ‘missing textures’ checkerboard-ness, there were cotton candy clouds flying around the place, and I think I saw a herd of rabbits with freakishly long legs running in the distance. Basically patented Discord chaos.

”Eh, seems pretty tame it terms of chaos. At least compared to what humans have done and made, in reality and fiction.” I hear Sorano say aloud. I just sigh and shake my head.

“True, for us its childish, but you have to remember the ponies of Equestria like to control literally everything from the weather to plant growth and animal care. For them, this might as well be the wasteland from Fallout.” I point out before ‘taking control’ of our body again.

“Now then we need to find the main six and see if there is some way we can help.” I say determined, beginning to walk into town. I look around the nearby areas of what used to be Sweet Apple Acres, just with six foot tall apples and popcorn fields. After I pass it I come to the town proper an begin looking for the group of six ponies. I barely look for five minutes before I hear a all too familiar voice shouting.

“Fine! Leave! See if I care! I don’t need you guys either. With friends like you who needs...” the voice begins to get quiet and then pause so I rush past the building I was next to and see something I both was and wasn’t expecting to see.

Barely a block away from me stood the current student of Princess Celestia and Element of Magic, Twilight Sparkle. Only she doesn’t look like the one I know of. First of all she isn’t on four legs, she is bipedal, with legs ending in hooves, arms ending in hands, attached to a human like body, but with a pony muzzle complete with a horn. She is wearing a white dress shirt beneath a violet vest with her cutie mark on her shoulders, and a purple knee high skirt and the Element of Magic atop her drooping head. I stood just stood there, as mine and Sora’s minds try to process what we were seeing when she finished her sentence with “...enemies” and the colour seemed to be drained from Twilight, leaving her completely gray with a single tear falling down her face, splashing into a broken heart shape.

My eyes widen as I realize when we are, just too late to stop Twilight from turning into her depressed opposite. ”Or maybe we are too early to help.” I heard Sora say as I begin to follow Twilight through the town.

‘What do you mean?’ I thought to Sorano, not wanting to be spotted yet.

”Well think about it. It may seem bad now, but if this is following the shows timeline, all we have to do is wait for Twilight to get home and see her old friendship reports from the princess.” She pointed out, my eyes widening as a plan begins to come together.

‘And maybe when she is back to normal, we can help them get back together and help take down Discord faster!’ I finish. If we were separate people, you would probably be seeing two huge grins.

So with a sorta-plan in place I continue to follow Twilight through town, seeing all sorts of wieldness like levitating pies, a random pony walking at a 90 degree angle, and ”Oh hey! There’s Screwball!” Sora says in surprise and said pony stops and waves at us. I just shyly wave back before she continued on her way. Although, when Discord showed up and began to mock Twilight I did have to pull Sorano back to stop her from just sicking on him. Even back home just watching the show, Sorano hated when Discord mocked Twilight. That’s one thing Sora and I share, is our protective instincts when it comes to friends and family, but while I would try to moderate and talk things out, Sorano would be the first to pull a punch, or in most cases kick to the groin if it concerned guys.

After a few minutes Twilight makes it to the Golden Oaks library, which oddly looks untouched from all the chaos around it. I began to wonder if maybe Twilight put some defensive runes on the tree to stop magical thieves or something. As I was thinking that Sora was watching the tree through her ‘window’ (my eyes) and notices a bright flash from one of the second story windows that she recognizes as Twilights room. ”Hey Nat! Looks like Twi’s back in action.” She says, retuning my attention to the waking world.

‘Well, time for introductions.’ I think as I walk to the front door to knock. Only for said door to fling open and for Twilight to literally run into me, sending us to the ground.

“Oof/Nyu!” We say respectively. I open my eyes to find Twilights violet eyes staring back at me, our face only a few inches from each other. We stay there for a bit before both of our face erupt into larges blushes as she gets off me with a start. “Ahh! Oh, oh my gosh, I-I’m sorry! A-are you okay!?!” She stutters in a frantic tone. It takes a second for my mind to come back before I push myself up with a soft ‘Nyuuu..’ as I rub the back of my head.

“Uh, here.” Twilight says, offering me a hand up. I pause for a second before reaching up and she pulls me up to my feet, noticing we are about the same height if you don’t count her horn.

“Um, thanks.” I say quietly, damnit what does my shyness have to act up now! We just stand there, awkwardly staring at each other, before getting interrupted by someone clearing their throat. I look around before looking down to my right and see a more familiar face. Spike the dragon. He looks the same as the show just a bit taller, with a pair of ripped jeans and a green hoodie with Twilights cutie mark on the right part of the his chest.

“Sorry to interrupt this amazing meeting between you two, but Twilight, we have to hurry and find the girls!” He says urgently.

”What the? Wasn’t Spike too sick from all the friendship reports being sent back to help Twilight in the battle with Discord?” Sora says in confusion.

‘I guess that this world isn’t follow the original timeline to the letter?’ I think back to her with a unnoticeable shrug. Twilight just gasps.

“Your right Spike!” She turns to me, “Sorry about this be we don’t have time for introductions right now. Spike and I have to find my friends and remind them of who they were.” She says determined.

I pause, then nod with a ‘Nyu!’ and a determined gaze of my own. “In that case, let me come with and help!” I tell them.

The unicorn and dragon duo look at each other before shrugging at one another. “Ok then, let go!” She says before turning and jogging ahead, Spike and I soon catching up with her. While we are running she turns to me with a slightly sheepish grin. “Oh yeah, I never got your name. Mines Twilight Sparkle, and the little dragon is Spike.” She introduces herself, with Spike giving a nod and thumbs up.

“My name is Natali, but please call me Nat.” I respond with a smile as we reach the outskirts of the chaotic Sweet Apple Acres.

”What? Not going to introduce me?” Sora says with mock indignation. ‘You can introduce yourself once this is all over.’ I tell her back with an unnoticed eye roll.

The three off us begin to look around for the apple member in question, myself noticing and being slightly disterbed by the flying pigs, Big Mac acting like a dog and other oddities, before making it to the barn and seeing the greyed out apple farmer herself complaining with lies to... a tap dancing Granny Smith? ”Ok seriously, WTF? This is going past chaotic and into absurd.” Sora complains. ‘Agreed.’

“Applejack! I’m here fight for our friendship!” Twilight says, puffing out her chest in pride and determination. Before Big Mac shows up from the ground, startling her and giving her a lick.

”HAHAHA! Ok, that is even funnier in person!” Sora says between hysterical laughs. I just sigh and look back at AJ, then immediately cover my nose as what I am seeing.

Even greyed out, AppleJack is wearing one of those classic ‘hot farm girl’ looks and making it work perfectly. A plaid shirt tied under her bust with her bra barely noticeable, a pair of short jean shorts showing off her muscular legs, with a lasso attached and, of course, her most noticeable and constant characteristic, her currently greyed out, brown Stetson hat. In the back on my mind I can clearly hear Sorano wolf whistling.

”Damn! And here I thought some of those cosplayers were looking good.” she says, seemingly genuinely impressed. All the while I am willing myself not to have a comical, anime-style nosebleed.

I barely managed to get myself under control when I notice Twilight had tackled AppleJack and was placing her horn agains her forhead, reminding AppleJack of deeds and giving her her colour back.

AppleJack get up a bit, shaking her head to clear it. “What happened? Twilight!” She says getting up a walking to her friend. “Ah saw a vision of us feudin and fightin. Ah couldn’t face the truth so, ah started tellin lies.” She takes off her Stetson and places it against her heart. “Can ya ever forgive me?” She asks, her voice full of remorse.

“I already have. C’mon!” Twilight responds before running past me and Spike, AppleJack in tow.

While running AppleJack notices me and asks, “Well, howdy there. My names AppleJack. Who are you?”

I make sure to keep my eyes on her eyes as I talk, “My name is Nat, I offered to help Twilight get you and the others back to normal.” She nods with a smile,

“Well thank ya kindly. I don’t wanna think what she mighta done had she not have help.” She says.

“Well actually it was Spike and the princess that kept her from being discorded, I just offered to help after she ran into me.” I say, looking at the smaller drake, who was giving me an appreciative smile. I just nod back at him with a smile of my own.

It took a while but eventually we found Fluttershy, flying around her house acting like a huge jerk to her animal friends. “Alright, this is going to be tough. I need to make direct contact with my horn for the spell to work.” Twilight tells me, AJ, and Spike.

“Well, how are we going to get her down here? She doesn’t care right now and none of us can fly.” Spike points out. AJ was going to suggest something before I beat her to the punch.

“I can get her down.” I say then look at the apple farmer. “Applejack, once she is down, use you lasso and keep her still as Twilight uses her spell.” The trio look at me in confusion, but before they can question it, I extend one of my Vectors and launch myself towards the normally shy Pegasus, leaving two ponies and a dragon to pick their jaws off the floor.

Twilight turns and notices a hand print firmly placed in the earth where I once stood. ‘What was that?’ She thought to herself before snapping herself and her friends out of their stuned states. “C’mon, lets go get ready for when they land.” She tells AJ and Spike, the duo nodding and following the purple unicorn.

We were in the air, maybe a dozen feet from the Element of Kindness when she turned and notices us behind her. “Oh, and what are you supposed to be. A flying monkey?” She says in a mocking tone and smile.

What she didn’t know was I wasn’t the one in control at the moment. “Just don’t hurt her.” I tell Sora, who just rolled her eyes.

”Really? A ‘flying monkey’? That’s all you could think of? I expected more from the animal caretaker of Ponyville.” Sora said in an equally mocking tone. This makes Fluttershy do a double take and grind her teeth in anger.

“What was that?” She says with venom. ”You heard me. Though honestly, I think calling you a yellow, bipedal pigeon works even better.” Sora says with a carefree yet mocking grin. I see Fluttershy’s ears flatten on her head and I could practically hear her teeth grinding against each other. ‘That’s it. Get mad.’ We both think.

Not long after that though Fluttershy rushed at us, arms cocked back ready to punch. Too bad for her, we were ready. As she is about to hit us, we drop down faster than she can react, then come behind her and put her in a dual arm lock, and wrap a Vector around her legs and wings each. “Hey! Let me go you bitch!” She ‘shouts’ at us in rage.

”Sorry, but I think It’s best for all of us to go to your cottage and get you back to normal.” Sora said in a, paradoxically, mocking yet genuine tone.

In Fluttershy’s cottage Twilight, Applejack and Spike were waiting for me and Fluttershy to come through. “Hey Twilight, do you have any idea how Nat suddenly went flyin like that?” AJ asks her friend.

“I am not sure Applejack, but whatever it was, it seems really strong.” Twilight responded, causing AJ to raise a brow.

”What do ya mean strong?” She asks.

“Well after she left I noticed a hand print in the dirt behind where she was standing. Whatever launchered her also had enough force to leave a rather deep imprint in the dirt, but I can’t think of anything that could do that.” Twilight explained, the two of them now scratching their chins in thought. Spike meanwhile was looking out the door for any problems when he notices me and Fluttershy ‘flying’ down to the door.

“Girls, get ready their here!” He shouts to the two elements. They jump up from their spots, Applejack with her lasso and Twilight charging her spell.

I come through the door with Fluttershy still struggling in my grip. “Damnit, stop struggling already!” I say in frustration. This just seems to motivate her to try harder as she starts thrashing her head and I could feel her wings were tensing beneath my Vectors. “Applejack get ready!” I shout to her before tossing a flailing Fluttershy through the door. Not even a second after she hits the floor Applejack has her hog tied and Twilight places her horn against the bound Pegasuses head.

The yellow Pegasus slowly opens her eyes looking back at the four of us. “Oh No! Twilight, Applejack, Spike! I just had the worst dream.” She says as AJ unties her. She then turns and notices me and I can get a proper look at her. She is wearing a deep forest green jumper that go’s to her waist and a pink skirt reaching down to her ankles, her cyan eyes looking at me with surprise.

“It wasn’t a dream, was it.” She says sadly. Before the others can react I am infront of her holding one of her hand and place it my other on her shoulder.

“No, it wasn’t. But it doesn’t matter anymore. Your back to normal and now you can help us get the rest of your friends back and stop Discord.” I teller her softly, with as much reassurance as I can muster. She looks at me, eyes wide with surprise and soon get a small smile and nods in determination.

“Right. Oh! We haven’t been properly introduced. My name is Fluttershy.” She says, her voice gaining a confidence we didn’t expect from her. I just smile and reply,

“And my name is Natali, call me Nat. And sorry for those hurtful things we said to you.” I grin sheepishly at the confused glares from the other girls.

“Oh, its ok. You were just doing what you had to to distract me.” Fluttershy says with a smile, one I couldn’t help but return.

The five of us soon leave Fluttershy’s cottage, myself in the lead on the way back to town to find the other three element bearers. While I am ahead and looking, the others are questioning Fluttershy about what happened between us. “Well, we were in the air and I was insulting her, but she just started mocking me back. I got so mad I actually tried to hit her.” Fluttershy admits shakily, causing the others eyes to widen.

“Wait, wait, wait. So that girl insulted ya to the point ya’ll would attack her?” Applejack asks hotly, causing Fluttershy to let out an ‘eep’ and hide behind her mane. Applejack takes a breath and apologizes to her shy friend.

“Well, yes. But something seems different about her now compared to then.” She says in thought, again causing the others brows to rise.

“What do you mean different?” Twilight asks.

“Well, clearly she is nicer, but also her eyes seemed to have more life in them, and her voice isn’t as deep as before when it was just us.” Fluttershy elaborated.

Twilight takes that begins to think about what she knows about the Diclonius. ‘Hmm... she clearly is stronger and faster than she looks, she has some weird magic of some kind that acts like arms, seemingly lets her fly and she also seems to have some sort of alternate persona when using them.’ She frowns thinking that she should know what is going on with me, but she just can’t think of what she can do.

“Also I have never seen a creature with two sets of ears before.” Fluttershy added randomly. This causes Twilights head to whip back to look at her yellow friend.

“Two sets of ears?” She questioned, Fluttershy merely pointing back to my head, the others just now noticing my human ears and my horns.

“How are we just now noticing this?” Spike asked.

A few minutes later we arrive at Carousel Boutique, the ground to the sides of it warping up into little checkerboard hills. “Great, now we have to deal with a greedy Rarity.” Spike said with slight disdain.

”Huh, little guy must be pretty pissed that his mare got turned opposite.” Sorano commented blankly. The five/six of us walk into the shop and I was in for a big surprise. Literally, the place was acting like a Tardus, it seemed pretty small outside, but the place was huge! Though there was a large boulder in the front room, the unicorn in question... talking to it? ”Ok what. Did Discord somehow turn Rarity into Maud or something?” Sorano commented in annoyance.

“What are you doing here!?! GET AWAY FROM MY GEM!” Rarity shouted at us.

“Now calm down Rares, we are just here to help.” Applejack says trying to calm the greedy mare down. While she does that I suddenly get a rather devious idea on how to distract her.

‘Hey Sora, you thinking what I’m thinking’ I ask with a mental grin. ”Oh yeah, time to play keep away.” Sora says with her own grin.

As the three mares and dragon try to reason with the unicorn, the boulder begins to suddenly levitate into the air and move around. “What the? Who is doing this?!? Who is touching my precious gem?!?” Rarity demands impatiently. The boulder ‘levitates’ over to me and rests above my head.

”Oh, I’m sorry. Is this what you want?” Sora asks, pointing at the hovering rock.

“How dare you! Give it back to me now!” Rarity demands in rage. Sorano gains a sinister smile.

”You want it? Try and get it.”

Rarity yells and jumps to grab the ’gem’, only for Sora to move it to the side with her Vectors. Rarity recovers and tries again. And again. And again. This goes on for a few minute and, little by little, the mare is wearing herself out. On one last jump Sora positions the rock so when it moves, Rarity runs face first into a wall, causing all present to visible wince in pain, before she falls down on her back. I take this moment to drop the boulder away from us and quickly pin the tired unicorn just in case, wrapping on Vector around her horn for good measure. “Any time now Twi!” I tell her, knocking her out of her daze.

After the spell is cast I can get a good look at the returned Element of Generosity. Her cloat and mane, dispite the game of keep away, is still near perfect. She is wearing a sky blue t-shirt with a royal blue overcoat, a matching royal purple dress skirt to go with and some rather ‘fabulous’ eyeshadow.

Coming to, she locks eyes with me, before lightly blushing as I am still pinning her. “Ahem, could you please release me?” I just nod with a blank expression on my face while helping her up. “Thank you.” She said before opening the door to the boutique with her magic and teleporting the rock outside before throwing it clear across town. “Let us never speak of this again.” She says with finality in her voice, to which the others nod.

”Nope, going to be holding this above her head for eternity.”

Right after we leave the boutique Rarity begins to look me over with a critical eye. “What?” I ask simply with a raised brow.

“Well darling, I must say, if not for the dirt and grime, this outfit of yours looks absolutely fabulous. I didn’t think pink would work so well with black. So dark and mysterious, while also seeming joyful and upbeat.” She says swooning over my Lucy cosplay, causing me to blush lightly.

“What? This? It’s just something I threw together. Now you should talk to my friend Lex. She is the one who designs most of my clothes after all.” I say with a smile, only to frown as I remember that I may never see them again. ‘Lex. Adam. I hope you two are ok.’ I think to myself, Sorano somehow taking control of a Vector to pat my back.

Twilight noticed my attitude change, but chooses not to comment on it. ‘She must have been separated from her group during Discord’s chaos. Well, we’ll just have to help her find her friends after this is over.’ She think determined, Applejack, Fluttershy and Spike having similar thoughts.

After wandering the town for a bit we come across the discorded element of laughter Pinkie Pie, although with her mane flat like that, I can’t help but get flashbacks to a certain video with a very misleading title and shudder. This doesn’t go unnoticed by the others. “Ya’ll ok sugarcube?” Applejack asks in concern.

“Yeah, I’m fine just a little chilly.” Not entirely a lie, as my outfit isn’t exactly well insulated.

“Here darling.” Rarity says giving me her overcoat. “Thanks Rarity.”

“Ok, now how are we going to keep Pinkie in one place?” Twilight thinks aloud, causing the others to think as well. I just look at them with a raised brow.

“What do you mean keep her in one place. She is just walking around looking all grumpy.” I ask in confusion. They all look at each other, trying to think of a way to convey their thoughts.

“Ya see sugarcube, Pinkie can be a wee bit...unpredictable, to put it mildly.” AppleJack explains.

“Ha, that is severely understating it. At this point I think she might be related to Discord with how much she ignores reality and the laws of physics.” Twilight says in exasperation.

I just raise my brow again and think, before a rather obvious though comes to mine. “So Pinkie doesn’t seem to follow the rules of physics and reality, right?” The group nods, Twilight begrudgingly. “And being discorded turns you into your opposite right?” I continue, the group nodding in confusion. “Then since Pinkie is her opposite, shouldn't she be forced to follow the rules?” I ask with as raised brow, everyponies eyes widening at the idea.

“Aw nuts, now I am having second thoughts about turning her back.” Twilight said, earning a glare from everyone present. “Kidding, kidding!” she says quickly.

“Ok then, lets just pin her or something and have Twilight use her spell.” I say aloud as we get closer to the grayed out mare. Before she can react, AppleJack uses her lasso to tie up the unsuspecting earth pony and after she falls I just sit on her back to stop her from rolling away.

“What the!?! Hey, get off of me!” She yells in frustration and tries the wiggle around and get loose.

“Huh, you were right. If she were herself we would have caught a balloon Pinkie or something.” Twilight says in surprise, before quickly charging her spell and casing it on the still bound mare.

Once she gets her colour back I get up and get a good look at the famous party mare. I was honestly surprise at the simple clothing she was wearing. Just a pair of blue jeans, a white and pink polo shirt with a jean jacket with her cutie mark of three balloons on her breat pocket. After AppleJack helps her up she looks around a minute before locking eyes with me, her deep blue pools staring directly into my rose ones, before she lets out loud gasp, then suddenly her muzzle is pressed against my nose.

“HiI’mPinkiePie!Ihaveneverseenyoubefore!Areyounewintown?What’syourname?Whatareyou?Whenisyourbirthday?Doyoulikeparties?Whydoyouhavetwopairsofears?Doyouwann-“ by the time she got to that question, I jumped in shock, landing hard on by butt with a ‘Nyu!’ Of pain.

“Well, looks like Pinkie is back!” Spike said trying not to laugh at the situation before him.

Fluttershy quickly comes over and helps me up. “Oh, are you ok Nat?” She asks in concern.

“Yeah, I’m fine. I more surprised that anyone-“ “Anypony.” Fluttershy interjects.

“-anypony can ask that many question that fast.” I finish.

“Ah warned ya. Ah said she was unpredictable.” AppleJack said, her hand over the pink mares mouth. I just nod at her and she lowers her hand, Pinkie immediately taking a large breath to continue the barrage. Before she could, I raise my hand to stop her and talk.

“I’ll answer your questions later. Right now we have to find the last element.” I tell her, causing her to nod in a way I think a bobble head would be jealous of.

“Ok, where would a discorded Rainbow Dash be?” Twilight asks, each of us thinking on where she could be.

“Maybe she is at home?” Spike suggests gaining all our attention. “I mean she is the essentially the element of betrayal now. So, maybe she would just go home and read a book or something.” He explains.

“Huh. That’s a good point. Good job Spike.” I tell him with a smile, causing him to blush lightly and scratch the back of his head.

“Alright. To Rainbows house!” Pinkie announces as we begin walking to the chromatic Pegasus cloud house.

We finally make it to Rainbow Dash’s house, and Fluttershy goes to check when I notice something. ‘Hey Sorano? You ok? You’ve been awful quiet ever since we got Rarity back.’ I question my other voice.

”Huh? Yeah, I’m fine Nat. It’s just...where has Discord been all this time?” she responds, clearly in thought.

‘What do you mean? In the show he was just screwing around until the main six got back together.’ I ask, rather confused for at her worries.

”Yeah, but even then, Discord is a spirt of chaos. He should have felt the flux generated by the elements being restored, and yet I haven’t seen or sensed hide nor hair of him.” she responds.

‘Yeah but...wait sensed?’ I ask in confusion.

”You mean you haven’t felt it? Ever since we helped AppleJack I have been getting this weird feeling, like I can sense what is around us in terms of magic, even now. Its almost like I have a magical Byakugan or something.” she explains. My eyes widen as I have been getting this weird feeling, like that buzzing you get at the beginning of a brain freeze, but without the pain.

I have to put that thought on the back burner for now as Fluttershy comes down from the cloud home. “She isn’t there.” She says worried.

“Without Rainbow Dash we can’t use the Elements.” Twilight says.

“She could be anywhere by now. We’re never gonna find her.” AppleJack says distraught. As the girls and Spike worry about what they are going to do, I think back to what Sora and I were talking about.

‘Maybe..’ I close my eyes and focus on the feeling I have in my head.

“Nat, do you have any ideas?” Rarity asks, only to get worried and confused when she sees me with my eyes closed. “Natali? Are you ok darling?” She asks concerned, gaining the attention of the others.

“What’s wrong Natty?” Pinkie ask in her normal bubbly nature, but before she could continue, I cover her mouth with a Vector without opening my eyes.

“Quiet. I wanna try something.” I tell them calmly. I begin to block out all the sensations around me, just focusing on the feeling in my head. Suddenly, I see something odd. They look like streams, but going though the air, each with a different colour and flowing at a different speed. Looking around, I realize I am not using my eyes but my Vectors. They are vibrating at an unknown speed letting me interact and see the magic of the world itself. They continue to search, going this way and that, before I find what I’m looking for. A dull, almost rust-like red that I somehow know as the discorded Element of Loyalty. ‘Got it.’

Quickly opening my eyes, I am greeted by several pairs of eyes starring directly at me. “Nyu!” I shout in surprise, jumping back a bit.

“I told you girls she was going to freak if you got that close.” Spike said from behind me.

“Sorry Nat, but you wouldn’t respond to anything we said.” Twilight said as she helped me up.

“It’s ok, I honestly wasn’t 100% sure of what I was doing before I was doing it.” I explain, though this causes Twilight to raise an eyebrow.

“And what were you doing anyways?” I just smile and turn around before spotting a certain cloud.

“Finding Loyalty.” I say pointing at the cloud.

“Rainbow Dash!” Twilight yells up to the lounging Pegasus.

“Hey guys!” She shouts back.

“We’ve been looking everywhere for you!”

“That’s nice.”

“Discord is still on the loose. We need you to help us defeat his with you element: Loyalty!” she shouts up to her.

“Loyalty, Shmoyalty! Have you guys seen Ponyville? It’s a disaster! I’m staying here in Cloudsdale where everything’s awesome!” she announces, flopping onto her cloud.

“How in Equestria can she think that tiny patch of clouds is possibly Cloudsdale?” Rarity questions.

”The same way he got you to think that cheap rock was a precious diamond?” Sorano says, taking control before I can stop her.

“I thought we agreed to never speak of that again.” Giving me the stink eye. I just raise my hands in defence.

“Time for plan B!” Twilight announces, looking at Pinkie who just salutes before vanishing in a Pinkie shaped puff of smoke.

A few minute later we were floating above the snoozing Pegasus in the shows famous hot air balloon. “Ok Fluttershy, you grab Rainbow Dash and hold her down. Then AppleJack with lower me down from this ropes so I can cast the memory spell on her.” Twilight instructs the pink mane Pegasus.

“Got it!” She whispered (said completely normally) with a salute before zipping down to Rainbow.

“Are you sure it was the best idea to use Fluttershy to hold Rainbow?” I ask quietly, knowing what was about to happen. As she was about to respond Fluttershy just pokes Rainbow, waking her up.

“Um, just wondering if I can hold you down against your will for a little bit.” She asks, which earned a facepalm from me, Twilight and Spike.

“Nice try! Ponyville is your problem not-“ She didn’t get it finish before I interrupted

“OH FORGET IT!!” I yell before jumping out of the balloon “NATALI!” The girls yell, but I am not the one in control at this point.

”Your mine!” Sora yells tackling the athlectic mare out of the sky, the two of us falling.

“Let me go!” She yells before landing a hard kick to our stomach causing us to lose our grip on her. “HAHA! So much for th-“ she get interrupted by a Vector fist to the gut sending her reeling through the air. She looks around angered, only to be shock as she sees up less than five feet away from her.

“What the? How are you doing that? You don’t have wings!” she yells confused. Sorano just gives her the ‘Lucy Glare’, causing her to flinch in fear. Somehow she knows she is in trouble and begins flying around, several Vectors tailing her by mere inches. “OK seriously, what are you?!?” She yells at us, only for her to turn then for her eyes to widen in fears as we are mere inches from each other.

”I am the one who is going to put an end to this.” Sora answered before wrapping Rainbow in eight different Vectors and slamming her to the ground.

The balloon containing the girls and Spike lands just as Rainbow is slammed to the earth, the group cringing at the impact. Sorano slowly lowers us to the ground before turning to the others, causing them to flinch and shiver from the glare Sora is giving them. Twilight. Spell. she says coldly causing Twilight to nod quickly before running to Rainbow who is still conscious, but completely immobile, giving her back her colours.

“Huh? What happened? ‘Gasp’ How’s Ponyville? Where are the Elements? Did we stop Discord? And why can’t I move?” Rainbow asks quickly. Looking at her she is wearing a place pair of jogging shorts, a black tank top with a red sports bra and black workout gloves. Sorano quickly releases her from the Vectors, only for her to be grabbed into a group hug with the girls saying welcome back to her in each their own way.

But it short lived.

“OW! Let go!” She yells holding her gut where the Vector hit.

“Oh dear, are you ok Rainbow?” Fluttershy asked, worried for her older friend.

”Whoops, our bad.” Sorano says, only to pause and look back at the group who were all looking at us. ”I was not supposed to say that out loud.” she says sheepishly as I face palm, but before I can takeover Twilight walks up and asks the one thing I was afraid of.

“Who are you?”
