Matias: “Twin brother? Very strange that not even Princess Twilight’s friend mentioned anything about you…and part-time Wonderbolt/Royal Guard?” I look over to Rainbow Dash “Wouldn’t you have seen him in your times with the Wonderbolts?” While I was questioning the legitimacy of Empire Jack’s background, the corner of my eye was noticing the Powerpuffs moving over to Plant Man and Texty

Bubbles: “Not an accident?”

Buttercup: “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Blossom: “If you got sent here for a reason…what was it?”

(Gonna try out a Splatoon turned pony character of my own for this one. I know it’s not exactly starting out in the forest but I can explain the backstory to the characters in a later segment)

???: Exits a shop “Pfft, you call those cheap caricatures a ‘great price’…had better sales with Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe…” Walks out to Canterlot square “At least the day’s still out. Nothing bad’s gone wrong…well, not here anyway” Looks in direction of valley that is mostly blocked off by buildings “Hope those poor souls in Ponyville are recovering”

@Cerebrate19
Gerald takes a step back in fright and hides behind Stranaii. The former emperor, however, does not move or show any fear of this apparition taking aim. Instead…he chuckles

Stranaii: “Equal…my dear, you have no grasp of the power of my own mind…”

Gerald: “What?”

Stranaii: “Your bravado of your own skill will only get you so far, dear Bloodrose…you are not the first mind I have entered in my long reign of the Alignment. Some of those rebels were as skilled and disciplined as yours, dedicated to fleeting cults long forgotten by the rest of my people”

Gerald: “_Rebels?”

Stranaii: “It would be wise to surrender at this point. I do not wish to see you dead. Your use to us is more important when you are alive”

@TheFinite
The Deltas were surprised by this

Thunder Force (Scorch): “What?!”

Fang Hunter (Sev): “Hmmm!”

Rapid Haste (Fixer): “Our scanners would’ve picked up this ‘Snake’ though…right, sir?”

Night Hunter (Boss): “…”

Thunder Force (Scorch): “How the hell did he manage to follow us without the four of us noticing him?!”

Fang Hunter (Sev): “I’ve gotta give credit. If he managed to evade us, he’s earned my respect”

@Cerebrate19
D!Shelly: <<Well, I’ve had a strong imagination when I was a young squid. Once real me here opened herself up to this world, all that growth really payed off>>

Shelly: <<Heh, you’ve got that right. Anyways, have a good time Vigilante and Me! See you later, Princess!>>

Shelly: <<Come on Vigil, lets get going! Our friends must be worried for our safety at this point>>

@Revan0123
Rose: “i apologize if i disappoint, but i know nothing about WHAT the new instructions in canterlot will be, seeing as no less than three of you seem to delight in prying open minds, a wise precaution on the part of Kane.”

“but i have learned that where we are now, all minds are equal, the only reason the likes of you can achieve anything is discipline of mind and unfortunately for you-”

“-I have a VERY disciplined mind.”

(no one i play with the clones atm)

Vigilante: “it’s actually much simpler than that, though i’m surprised you did it so easily, we’re your other train of thought, your ability to multitask manifested, we know as much as you, normally.”

Vigil: “if you have magic you could even give them physical appearance for a short time, some unicorn bakers and managers assist themselves that way.”

Moon: “do mind the appearance though, it can cause a bit of a stir…”

Vigil: “that was a fun nightmare night.”

Moon: “in any case my dear, know that no matter what else happens, you will always be welcome here. the gate back to ponyville is being opened at this moment, so it seems the guards there feel confident about letting everyone return.”

@14Fan
“the apples are a huge family so it’s not absurd… but you are kind of a strange guy even by their lofty standards… then again if you know the two family recipes they have for apple pie it’s probably true.”

Twilight: “i’m sorry… empire… but it has been hectic recently, strange that she never mentioned you though, she’s normally very open about her family… all 360 living in this zipcode……. sooo many apple dishes…”

“aaaaaand she’s out again… she really should talk to a professional about these flashes…”

OOC: I think he’s busy.

(Cerebrate?)

@TheFinite
(Sorry, I’m still getting used to how things work so sorry if I make a stupid mistake.)

(You do realize that this is an entirely text-based format? If you really need to specify body-type, be specific with your language to avoid ambiguity. ‘mare but a boy with wings’ is not something that makes much sense. If you mean ‘He has a slender figure’, say that, and if you mean ‘He is male but looks quite feminine’, say that. There isn’t a rush to post, make sure to take your time so that you can prevent confusion from ambiguous or conflicting language.)

(True, idk I just think he looks… cuter or more handsome, younger I should say)

@14Fan
(that’s… look at rumble, he doesn’t have a stallion shape either.)

@Cerebrate19
(Yeah I just don’t like how the stallions looked and thought, “He does look younger or better as a mare so…. But the wings I have no idea why I put them on him)

@14Fan
(mare but a boy with wings…)

@UltraVaderMan
@Cerebrate19
“Oop, sorry. I’ve lived in this world all my life. My name’s Empire Jack. Royal Guard and part-time Wonderbolt. I’m AJ’s twin-brother, if you can’t tell. (He’s a mare but a boy with wings. How that works, I have no idea).

Meetra smiled. “You would not know him. Even I do not know his true name. What I do know is that he has shown me his capabilities. In fact, he has been keeping an eye on all of you before I even got here. A master of combat and stealth, he goes by the codename Snake.”

“It is a… Feeling I have.” Plant Man admitted. “Where I come from, there is a scientist, as brilliant as he is insane. He’s created robot masters, like Quick Man, on his mad quest for conquest. But he never sends just one.”

“But this Quick Man could have just been brought here, like you.” Texty said.

“…That’s the thing. The gap in my memory is gone. When I was fixed, it must have repaired that, too.” Plant Man said. “I remember… That I am not here by accident.”

Matias: “So what is-” Before I could ask the question, I notice Whistler re-entering the room and speaking with Twilight on some matters before the Princess told us that we could go back inside the castle “One moment” I trot on over to Whistler “Well, I’m glad Gerald’s okay…but this is information I never expected to hear. That other guy in his mind had powers this whole time?”

Utonium: “Are you referring to that ‘Stranaii’ fellow?”

Matias: “Yeah. If he’s kept this hidden for so long, why did he wait until now to reveal it?” As I contemplate this, the Princess says the same thing about the newcomer pony not introducing themselves. I soon turned over to them “Yes, I meant to ask earlier: What is your name and your background? Did you come from a world different to this one?”

Buttercup: “And what’s with these voices you keep hearing?”

Blossom: “Buttercup!”

Buttercup: “What? We already have one dude in another dudes head, why not expect it from this guy too?”

Matias: “You could’ve worded it better to not sound so rude…” In the corner of my eye, I noticed Bubbles trotting over to Plant Man and Texty

Bubbles: “Mister Plant Man, what did you mean earlier by ‘rogue robot masters’? Is that a thing we should be worrying about?”

@Cerebrate19
While Gerald was taking in the scenery around him, Stranaii spoke to Bloodrose

Stranaii: “Remarkable scenery. You are certainly a follower of this renowned ‘Brotherhood’…and your leader; a charismatic and esteemed individual, capable of raising a hardy stock of servants to follow his will no matter what moral bounds that are encountered. As a former ruler of a star empire myself, I am impressed by this ‘Prophet’”

Stranaii: “But down to business: We have heard your inner thoughts recalling past events along the path into your sanctum. You are the one who was designated to escort the small juvenile to the Princess’ castle through hidden means”

Gerald: “Stealth technology no doubt…and if I had to guess, the action that had just recently ended in the town was also of your organizations doing”

Stranaii: “It is possible to assume that you would’ve been found out too soon, had the decoy assault not been initiated”

Gerald: “So you brought Boomer here so he could free his brothers, huh? And the explosives you placed around the castle? Surely, you must’ve realized that someone would’ve eventually caught onto your scheme”

Stranaii: “As the Griffon earlier has just showed you, there are greater forces you are dealing with than you can even possibly hope to kill”

Gerald: “And ‘meeting in Canterlot’, your echo just reminded? What exactly would you have concocted up there? Blow up a city street? Assassinate a magical princess? Fat chance! Not even three villains with the bell of Grogar could’ve managed that plan!”

@TheFinite
In the physical realm, the Deltas looked to each other with confusion when Meetra mentioned a powerful warrior

Fang Hunter (Sev): “Our genetic Template?”

Thunder Force (Scorch): “As if, Sev! Even if it was, that Rakeweed betrayed the Republic by siding with the enemy!”

Rapid Haste: (Fixer): “Easy, Scorch”

Night Hunter (Boss): “And who is this ‘solider’ you mentioned exactly?”

@Cerebrate19
Shelly chuckled as Vigil spoke to her

Shelly: <<I do…but I’ll save those for another time. For now, I’m glad that all the initial problems I had upon entering this world have been solved…heh, except for housing of course>>

D!Shelly: <<Oh, I’m sure that can easily be sorted out when you get back to castle…well, other castle I mean>>

Shelly: <<Come on Vigil, lets get back to the others. They’re probably wondering where we are right now?>>

Shelly: <<What will happen with you, though? You’re technically me yet I feel like myself when I’m dreaming so how does tha->>

D!Shelly: <<I’ll admit, it’s a little complicated but don’t worry. I am part of you so if trouble flares up again in your dreams, I’ll be there for ya in whatever form it comes about. Plus, no doubt that Vigilante here will come by for assistance if the need arises>>

@Cerebrate19
OOC: Apologies, my brain over-analysed and misinterpreted a few details then.

@Revan0123
(Balconies are outside.)

@Cerebrate19
“once Whistler had made his report, Twilight cleared them all to enter the castle again”

OOC: I thought they were by one of the rooms with a balcony in the past few posts?

@Revan0123
upon entering they found the interior to be winding and coiling as if inside a snake nest, murals on the walls depicting the becoming of the nod commando, and revealing that Kane, a bald stallion she clearly revered, had been guiding her life as he liked since she was a filly, the disenfranchised and forgotten flock to him, armed and given purpose. the brotherhood was all they had and cared about and from the way her mind depicted exploding ponies ascending away from the fires they start, she believed fully in the vision.

“one vision, one purpose, peace, through power… greetings, intruders.”

Luna: “actually, in this particular space i am almost present enough.”

Freddie: “i dropped the old name though, vigil is who i am and what i am, everything good in my life happened after i got here. including meeting you.”

Vigil: “you had more questions though, right?”

@UltraVaderMan
@TheFinite
@14Fan
once Whistler had made his report, Twilight cleared them all to enter the castle again.

Twilight: “you have in fact not, sir, still didn’t actually.”

@Cerebrate19
(I was thinking about asking up after a few days but then I assumed you would’ve said you were busy)

(it should have told me you all answered last week, sorry for that, a little patience please, i’ll get back to it ASAP.)

@Cerebrate19
Empire looked around for any pony saying anything. Nothing yet.
EJ: I heard voices in the distance. Might’ve been me. I hear voices in my head all the time.
Just then, he heard Matias and Buttercup.
@UltraVaderMan
EJ: I can hear voices but I think it’s just me. Nothing major though. And have I not introduced myself yet?

“I’ve seen much power within my time. Those that can take any wound and survive on hatred alone, those that can consume the life force of entire worlds, those with silver tongues that can shape the world to their liking… And yet I bested them all. Whether this one is beyond even that, I have yet to see…” Meetra said. She looked upon the Troopers in thought. “…While perhaps not gifted in these overt displays of power, there is one I have come across, a soldier carrying many scars, gifted in the art of battle, currently a pony but was once not, just like you. He is not sensitive to The Force, but he may yet prove a powerful ally. I suspect you may get along with him.”

“Well, if he tries anything…” Plant Man said, unsure.
“He’s not hostile, at least of yet.” Texty said.

@TheFinite
@Cerebrate19
@14Fan
Matias: “Considering the major escalation over these past two days, I wouldn’t put it past it being yet ANOTHER grand scheme by some far off villains…” I soon hear the newcomer pony say something while also mumbling to themselves and groaned in annoyance “Oh please don’t tell me you have some entity stuck inside your mind as well?”

Buttercup: Deadpan eyes “We also still haven’t learned their name when they came in…”

@Cerebrate19
@TheFinite
Gerald found himself lying on some sterile floor. He held a hand to his face…wait, a hand? He checked himself over, noticing he had become a human again in this mental realm

Gerald: “Well, nice of you to give me this comfort at least…”

Gerald: “Hold up a minute…isn’t tha-”

Stranaii: “Relax, gullible fool, I am still myself. This form you see, minus the species appearance, suited the elegant ways of my past life”

Gerald: “Well, you certainly got a flair for the theatrics. Let me guess? Looked through my previous internet history with Star Wars: The Old Republic, didn’t you?”

Stranaii: “Let us not be distracted with unimportant matters. This ‘castle’ before us is no doubt laden with defenses considering the nature of the person involved”

Stranaii: “Stick with me, Mr Dalton. We have many traps to encounter before we find what we seek”

Thunder Force (Scorch): “Never thought I’d be dealing with this many powerful entities this past week”

Fang Hunter (Sev): “What’s the matter, Scorch? Feeling scared?”

Rapid Haste (Fixer): “Knock it off, Sev. This situation is serious”

Night Hunter (Boss): “Right, Fixer. Whatever happens next, Squad, we’d best be prepared”

Thunder Force (Scorch): “You ever see something this powerful in your previous life?”

@Cerebrate19
Shelly looked away and thought back on the events that led her up to this moment; the confusion, the horror and the denial. She shed a tear before then turning back to the Night Princess

Shelly: <<No…it’s not your fault…I should’ve been better than this. I should’ve been the one to be more strong in the event of being stranded in general, let alone in another dimension>>

D!Shelly: <<Well, to be fair, this was dropped on top of us suddenly>>

Shelly: <<Still, I should’ve taken the situation with a bit more acceptance. Recoiling in horror at the sight of newfound species, denying a part of myself in this new realm when there was no need for such a thing…it did no wonders for my physical health, nevermind my mental…>>

Shelly: <<In the end, you and Vigi-…Freddie were only trying to help me. You saw the distress I was in and came to my aid. You were letting me know that there was nothing to be scared of, nothing to be in self denial about…it was all going to be okay in the end…and you knew that>>

Shelly: <<And for that, I thank you>>

Shelly: <<Heh, forgot you’re not physically here>>
