Third point of view.

Location: Soejammy's House

Date: January 7th, 2023 - Saturday

Time: Morning - 9:00 a.m.

It was a normal day in Soejammy's house, or rather... It would be normal, as there were sounds of slight coughing coming from the house. Up on the second floor, Compa was in Twilight's room as Soejammy and IF stood by watching Compa trying to think about what was happening. In the bed, Twilight's eyes were shut along with sweat on her face. Twilight's cheeks were also flushed with a bright red as she was taking deep breaths.

Soejammy: Compa... Please tell me there is SOMETHING you can do about this...

Compa: I'm trying, Jammy... I'm doing everything I can to think that I can help.

IF: Please trust Compa, Jammy.

Soejammy: I do... I just...

Soejammy looked at Twilight as she seemed to be in pain and whimpered while she rested. Soejammy looked at Twilight as he saw a black smoke rising from below as he looked to see his Darkness was showing itself through his hands as he quickly left the room. IF saw this and knocked on the door as she was trying to get out to see if he was okay.

IF: Hey. You okay? You just rushed out of the room.

Soejammy: I-I'm fine! Just... Just really upset this is happening to Twilight... I-I'm scared for her health...

IF: Hey.

Soejammy looked down at his hands as they still showed some Darkness creeping up on his hands as he willed himself to regress the Darkness he has. The faint lines of Darkness creeping out soon disappeared in keeping it suppressed.

IF: I know you're worried. But I'm sure Twilight is going to get through this. Compa is helping out as best she can. So, don't worry about it. Take your mind off of this and come back in an hour. Worry too much, and even you will burn out. I even saw those dark rings under your eyes. You stayed up all night being with her, didn't you?

Soejammy looked in the mirror the was next to Twilight's room as he did in fact stay up through all night. Soejammy was that worried for her that he had to have Mini-Nep sleep with the original Nep herself so she didn't see him like this.

IF: Get some rest. I know this is tough on you. But worrying isn't going to help anyone, Twilight included.

Soejammy: I-I understand... I'll go and rest up... Thank you for worrying about me, IF.

IF: Come on, just doing what anyone else does. Looking out for their friends.

Soejammy smiled behind the door as he nodded his head.

Soejammy: Again, thank you. I'll... I'll go get some sleep like you said.

IF: You're welcome. I'll come get you if something comes up.

Soejammy: Okay.

Moving away from the door, Soejammy still felt worry for what was happening to Twilight as he hauled himself upstairs. As soon as he reached his bed, he took the blanket that was on the bed while turning the fan up to the high setting. His body felt heated from all that happened as even if it felt warm to him, Soejammy's body was like a heater in his own right. During a trip to an ice rink outside one time for a trip for honor students, he had finished ice skating when he took his gloves off. With his body being insulated in the coat and no heat to escape during that time, when he took his gloves off after ice skating, steam was coming off his hands to show how heated it got under his equipment. But the heat he was feeling was the Darkness that had been sealed for so long inside of him, now fully able to unleash its power in Soejammy.

Soejammy: This power... This power is too intoxicating...

Closing his eyes, Soejammy began to take a nap with the fan to keep him cooled down. In Soejammy's sleep, he woke up to a startling dream as he got up from the ground and began to look around. The place was void and barrened. Nothing seemed to exist here except for himself.

???: So, you awaken to Darkness once again.

Soejammy: That voice...

???: How long has it been since you heard my voice?

Soejammy: Get OUT of my head. You don't belong here anymore.

A laughter could be heard as Soejammy kept his guard up for anything weird.

???: Where is your compassion gone, boy?

Soejammy: I'm no child! And after what you almost put me through, you deserve no compassion from me!

???: You accept the Darkness is there, but you do not openly use it anymore. Why is that?

There was silence as Soejammy kept that information to himself.

???: Ah. I see. You have someone you wish to not see that side of you.

Soejammy: Get OUT of my head. NOW!

???: A certain... "Unicorn" perhaps?

Soejammy: GET OUT!!!

Shouting like that, Soejammy startled awake as his racing heart caused some Darkness to come out more and began trying to calm himself back down. When he had calmed back down, the Darkness went away.

Soejammy: The seals keeping my Darkness in check... They said those seals were meant to be unbreakable... Could Twilight's pure blast of magic have shattered them from the concentration of it all??? And what was that dream just now??? Y-Yeah... It was a dream... It felt too real to be true...

Looking at the time, Soejammy could see that a lot of time had passed. When he woke up, it was about 4:00 p.m.

Soejammy: I slept that long??? How??? Ugh. I need to check on them. I have to...

Getting up, Soejammy was about to head down the stairs when IF began to rush up them.

IF: Jammy.

Soejammy: Yeah...? What is it...?

IF looked at Soejammy as she just stared at him in the eyes. The silence she gave to him soon alerted him as he began to make his way past her.

IF: Jammy! Jammy wait!

Going into Twilight's room, Soejammy looked at Compa as she was doing all she can for Twilight.

Soejammy: Compa. Please tell me Twilight is okay.

Compa looked at Soejammy as she gave her own silence to him too as she seemed to have discovered something.

Compa: Jammy... Twilight's condition is... Very serious...

Soejammy: Then tell me. Stop beating around the bush.

Compa: Jammy, Twilight has contracted many sicknesses that I even looked up here in your world.

Soejammy looked at Compa as if confused before Compa pulled out a test result sheet.

Compa: This analysis when I took some blood from Twilight and ran a test. Jammy, Twilight has been living in this world and now she has contracted MANY sicknesses. The Flu, Common Cold, Stomach Flu... All of these and more are what is showing on the results. Jammy, Twilight needs help right now.

Soejammy's hearing went silent as Compa kept talking as he began to lean against something for support. His gaze was distant along with looking empty with seeing Twilight in such a condition.

Soejammy: I... I need some time to think...

Compa: Time to think what??? Twilight needs a hospital!

Soejammy: We can't bring her to a hospital.

Compa: Jammy! Are you listening to yourself right now??? Twilight needs medicine! She needs medical attention! I can't do anything because I don't know Pony biology! I don't know what to make to counter this!!

Soejammy began to worry as he went to Twilight's bed and got down on his knees to hit the bed as lightly as he could and keep himself from screaming. It had been a few days ago that Twilight had been fine even after Christmas. He looked to see that the Eevee plush he got for Twilight before the month of Christmas even began. Soejammy had to make sure that the stuffed toy was hidden very carefully as he wanted to surprise Twilight with it. When Twilight was given her gift for Christmas, the joy Soejammy saw on her face that day made her beam in joy. Seeing Twilight sick now, all he could focus on is figuring out how to help her.

Soejammy: I need to think... No one comes up to my room...

Compa: Jammy! What if Twilight wakes up and-

Soejammy gave a look at Compa to not question him. With the look justifying what he wanted to do, Compa let Soejammy be as IF tried to stop him next.

IF: What? Are you going to wallow in your self doubt?

Soejammy: As for the matter of fact, I'm trying to think of helping my daughter. So, if you please, I need to think.

Going past IF, Soejammy began heading upstairs as IF called out to him.

IF: You know we're trying our best here!

Soejammy didn't answer as he willed the pad to appear before him to go to his lab. Once there, he quickly went to his computer and began to open many windows and tabs on potions, elixirs and many other healing stuff.

I: I didn't think I would see you here today.

Soejammy: "I", got anything you can think of on helping Twilight?

I: You're asking a computer being something like that when she isn't even flesh and blood?

Soejammy: Can we please get serious??? After Twilight got sick, she's been getting sicker each day. Twilight's running out of time and we're nowhere closer to coming up with a solution.

I: And being here is helping out?

Soejammy: RESEARCH IS THE ONLY THING I HAVE THAT CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION!!!

Soejammy slammed his fists onto the table as some of his Darkness responded to dent the table slightly.

Soejammy: Damn it...!

I: Is that what I think that is???

Soejammy: Yeah... Darkness...

I: How??? You told me it was sealed away.

Soejammy: Twilight caused it by accident... I think her magic overloaded the sealing and caused the chains to break. It was when I was saving her and Mini-Nep from the Timberwolves. I had slight control, but I'm out of practice...

I: Isn't that the same REASON, your girlfriend kept making you-

Soejammy: We do NOT talk about that.

Soejammy took deep breaths to calm himself down as to focus back on the research he needed.

Soejammy: Back on the subject... I wish I knew how to even think of making medicine... But I would need a miracle to make this even work... But I'm no doctor. I have no clue what I would be mixing together.

I: Then why not Compa?

Soejammy: She was the FIRST option I had. But so far, she's only delaying and minimizing Twilight's pain... I need someone... Someone who knows about medicines, can make something out of anything and has a cure for everything...

Thinking of something, Soejammy began to groan as he sighed heavily.

Soejammy: I can't believe this has come to this...

I: Did you find a solution that could help?

Soejammy: I did, but even I don't like having to do it...

I: What would that be?

Soejammy looked at the Flash-portal as he walked over to pick it up.

Soejammy: I need to find Zecora. The Shamen Zebra in Twilight's dimension...

Soejammy then went back to the computer to pull up pictures and details on Zecora. Zecora was a gray and white striped zebra with some jewelry on her neck, ear, and on either of her front hoofs. Zecora's mane was like that of a mohawk as it stood up on end.

I: Why??? Why do you need to seek her?

Soejammy: Because if ANYONE can come up with a solution using magic, it's her. She has cured cutiepox, and anything that caused a sickness to a pony. From messing up their forms, to their magic, anything. Science isn't going to help out this time... I need a miracle. A big one. For me, I wish it didn't come to this...

I: What makes you say that???

Soejammy: Because I never had plans to go into Twilight's world. I don't know the time lapse of their world vs mine... If I don't do something, Twilight is gone. If I do go, there is a chance I can save her life, but also encounter her friends that then suspect me of something I didn't do.

I: How sure of you are that???

Soejammy: Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy are her closest friends in Equestria. The 6 represent the Elements of Harmony. They are LITERALLY the ultimate defense against anything evil in their dimension. Nightmare Moon, Discord, there are so many villains Twilight and her friends face. But if Twilight isn't there, they can't use them. No protection, no order and peace.

Soejammy looked at the keyboard as he balled up his fists together.

Soejammy: Twilight NEEDS my help more than ever. If I have to go to her world for that help, I don't care what I have to do to help her. If I don't do anything at all, everyone loses. It all relies on me! It's ALWAYS me...!

Soejammy began taking deep breaths as he uncurled his fists to look at the monitor.

Soejammy: But I just can't ignore it when I can do something. I would rather help than stand on the sidelines and do nothing.

I: Then what is your plan?

Soejammy: I have to start preparing... I need to counter ANYTHING I can.

Getting up, Soejammy went to a workbench and grabbed his gear and laptop to begin looking through stuff. Some sparks of electrical wiring along with typing on the laptop could be heard during all this process.

Three hours later...

As Compa and IF stood around with Noire and Neptune keeping them company, Soejammy would then drop by Twilight's room as he approached her with a pair of scissors.

Noire: Hey Jammy, what are you-

Soejammy didn't answer as he then cut a piece of Twilight's mane off to gather some strands into his hand to have a small pile of her hair.

Compa: Jammy!? What are you-

Soejammy: Don't talk to me. I'm busy right now.

IF then went to the door as Soejammy was about to walk out to block his way.

Soejammy: Please step aside.

IF: Not until you tell us what you plan on doing with that hair! You don't just come in here and cut some of her hair off and walk out!

Neptune (Purple Heart voice): I know I may do some weird things, but this is something else.

Soejammy: No one ASKED you, Neptune. I'm busy trying to think and DO something.

Noire: Mind FILLING us in on what you plan to do???

Soejammy: I'll explain AFTER I work on what I need to do. EVERY second you make me waste is time I got to use. PLEASE, move out of my way.

IF stood firm at the door as she didn't plan on moving.

IF: You asked US to come out and help. You asked US to help with Twilight. If you have a plan, you need to-

Soejammy: I don't have to say ANYTHING at all!

Soejammy got closer to IF as he glared at her.

Soejammy: Need I remind you that Twilight is MY daughter. Mini-Nep is her SISTER. At the end of the day, once Twilight is gone, the ones getting affected the most are myself AND Mini-Nep. If ANYTHING happens when I could have done something, I will NEVER forgive myself for not doing ANYTHING! That's why I took your bike when I did and went to go help Nepgear when she was sick! If you trust me like you always do, you WILL move aside and let me do what I can to come up with an alternative way to SAVE my daughter!!

Soejammy and IF glared back and forth at each other as Compa was about to say something when IF stepped out of the way, but stopped Soejammy once again.

IF: You better tell us when you have something. Otherwise, I will hunt you down and make you answer until it is the truth.

Soejammy: I have no intention to run. Not when I have a responsibility as a parent to help my daughter.

IF soon lets Soejammy go to head back up to his room as Noire looks at IF.

Noire: What could he be doing up there that is important like hair??? He has nothing like science equipment up there. We would have heard something.

Neptune (Purple Heart voice): I keep telling you! I bet he has a secret lab!

Noire: Only you would think that. No way he has a secret lab up in his room. It's too small. Not to mention, it's the HIGHEST floor in the house.

Going back to his lab, Soejammy rushed to his workbench to continue working on what he was building.

Soejammy: Come on. Please have enough magical energy to see if this works.

Working on a NERF blaster, Soejammy put the strands of hair into a synthesizer Soejammy had built with the help of "I" building it. Magical extract was being separated from the hair placed in the chamber as it was being fed through a tube. With the magical power Twilight held in just her hair, a jar was filling up slowly with the extract being made.

I: You've been working on this for a while nonstop. Just what are you doing with a toy? Why does it involve Twilight's hair?? What IS that stuff going into the jar???

Soejammy: I'm trying to make something. Please, let me focus. This is crucial as every second I have counts.

Soejammy watched until all the extract had left the hair used in the chamber, but they withered and lost their color.

Soejammy: I pray for anyone to not have something like this happen to them... Strands of hair, no problem... I can't imagine anything else...

Soejammy then took the jar as he began to take it to another machine. Scanning the energy in the jar, it was a mixture of energies that was both positive and negative energies. Inserting the jar into the device, Soejammy had put on some gloves with a headset to actively have the jar visually in front of him as the energies of the jar could be seen around him.

Soejammy: Okay, are you ready for me to explain what I have been working on?

I: Literally what I was asking for, yes.

Soejammy began to explain while carefully taking the contents of the jar in his headset and tossed the contents into the air as they suspended themselves in the air. Using the gloves, he began to pull at pieces of the extract that glowed brightly one by one.

Soejammy: You know everything has a positive and negative force, right?

I: Of course. Like how there are protons and electrons in atoms. Why do you ask?

Soejammy: If everything has a counter reaction to say a chemical, for example... Someone being allergic to peanut butter. Someone who ABSOLUTELY can't eat peanut butter will begin to blow up like a balloon due to allergies and have a hard time breathing. But if you add a counter agent that stops the allergic reaction going off, it can be treated later at a hospital.

Soejammy began to take the positive energies out and began to shape the contents energies as the contents began to get darker.

Soejammy: Magic is like that. Everything HAS a weakness. Magic is no exception in terms of energy. Where magic is their world's science, magic is just another component when paired to real devices.

Soejammy then scooped the contents in the jar to begin shaking up in his headset and threw the contents forward in a line. Soejammy kept picking at more of the positive energies while replacing some with more negative ones.

Soejammy: What I'm making is Anti-Magic Darts. Or at least for now to lace the darts with the negative magic to neutralize the positive energies. With more positive energies there are in living beings, all it will do will cause a shock in their system and leave them temporarily unable to use their abilities. Say, some pony is using a levitation spell, shoot one dart laced in the contents I am creating, and it will force them to stop using their ability.

Gathering the substance in the virtual reality hands, Soejammy clasps them together and begins molding the substance like a puddy.

Soejammy: With being pressed for time, I can't make a complete counter-agent to magic. But with what I can make, I can make the dart it lands on emit a small electrical shock that can paralyze the flow of energy in a pony or living being made of magic. This would not only stop their flow, even making them seem like they had been petrified. No moving magic, no moving muscles.

I: And your counter is to allow you fast escapes should you be discovered by anyone in Twilight's world, am I correct?

Soejammy: I don't plan to hurt anyone. I can run fast on my own. The paralyzing only stays in effect for five minutes each time. But the more the darts are used, the lesser the effects become... I have to make EACH shot count or else precious time is lost...

Putting the substance into the jar again, Soejammy puts the jar down and takes off the headset and then opens the chamber. Pulling out the jar, just like in the VR he had, the contents in the jar had also turned into a puddy.

Soejammy: Had I been given more time, I could have made a dart that could attack the nervous system and simulated like a big impact hit them. But that is not the case. All I can do is this for now.

Soejammy went to his work bench and began lacing any darts he had on him and began loading them into a couple blasters along with a dart holder.

I: You are determined to get to Zecora no matter what, right?

Soejammy: If it means using a dart on Zecora to get her to listen to what I have to say for five minutes, I'll do ANYTHING to get her help.

Getting the biggest one he had together, he held it up with the clip out to see how the mechanisms worked and reformed it back to its full form. The first weapon he had was a CS-10 Echo Nerf Blaster and the second weapon he had for close range firing was Quadfire QS-4.

Soejammy: Yup... These will do. Let's just hope I never have to use them...

Soejammy kept checking his weaponry as he placed down what he was taking with him. Looking on a rack, he grabbed an invisibility belt as he put it around his jeans to go invisible for a moment and get out of it.

Soejammy: I think I'm ready...

I: You don't sound sure.

Soejammy: Yeah. Because I know that this is dangerous. One mess up and I could be tried for keeping Twilight "prisoner" in my world. You know what their Princess did to her sister, Nightmare Moon or Luna after she was cured, one time? Banished her to the MOON! I don't want to be banished to the moon!!

I: Then only the more reason not to get caught then.

Soejammy: I know... I know.

Soejammy looked at a picture he had on his desk that was covered by clutter recently, it was a crayon drawing of him, Twilight, and Mini-Nep. It was the first picture Twilight drew that Soejammy kept along with Twilight drawing other events that showed him in combat along with having fun with Twilight.

Soejammy: I have to do this. I can't get scared about banishment. If that happens... No. It won't happen.

Soejammy grabbed his gear and got it on and looked at "I" with his signature look.

Soejammy: I'm going now. I have to let the others know what I plan to do.

I: Okay. Just take care of yourself.

Soejammy: More than anything right now.

Soejammy went to his teleporter as he then went back to his room and then went downstairs. When entering Twilight's room, Noire noticed the door open and heard Soejammy coming downstairs.

Noire: So, do you finally have some- Why are you wielding toys...?

Soejammy: They're tactical gear now. Not just toys.

Noire: They're TOYS!

IF: Please TELL me this is part of your plan...?

Soejammy: Yes.

Soejammy then pulled out one of the darts he laced with his concoction to show Compa, IF, Noire and Neptune.

Soejammy: I altered the strands that held magic from Twilight and manipulated it to form Anti-Magic Darts. These darts are only laced with it, but if I had more, I could make the darts better by making them instead of lacing. Making them would need more hair, but they would actually make a real impact even just being foam. Nothing harmful though, but it would give a nasty headache if I made more pure ones...

Noire just looked and sighed at Soejammy's thinking.

Noire: WHY do you need any of it...?

Soejammy: I'm going to Twilight's dimension to search for a talking zebra shaman to make a potion using Twilight's blood as a catalyst to make an antidote that targets all the illnesses in her body. Unfortunately, I have to go into the Everfree Forest as that's where Zecora lives. But I think I should be okay with what I have.

The four just remained silent and stared at Soejammy in hoping he was joking about all of this.

Soejammy: What? What's with the looks- Are you four judging me right now???

Noire: Of course we are judging you! Are you insane!? You saw the creatures that came from her dimension!!

IF: Yeah, still kinda shocked about the story about you facing a giant consolation bear... That has to be made up...

Soejammy: It isn't made up, IF. It's a real bear as both a joke and magical animal in Twilight's dimension called the Ursa Minor. And believe it or not, THAT was a child. The Major would be like that of a skyscraper.

IF looked at Soejammy and looked at Noire and Neptune.

Neptune (Purple Heart voice): We TOLD you it was true! That's how my voice got like this when I got hit by Twilight's magic!

IF: The more I try putting logic here... The worst it feels is being wrong...

Noire: Welcome to my world being with Jammy!

Soejammy: What!? Ugh! Look! I need someone here to know that I left because even going to the Everfree Forest is crazy even for me.

IF: If you know that, then why are you going!?

Soejammy: It's the only way I can think of saving Twilight from her sickness!!

Soejammy yelled as he began to take deep breaths to keep his heartbeat under control.

Soejammy: Look, we're running out of options. It's either I go and find a doctor that can treat illnesses in Twilight's world, or we keep trying on our end. We need more options.

Noire looked at Soejammy and looked at Twilight who coughed and curled under her blankets more. Looking back in Soejammy's eyes as it showed how he usually follows what decision he makes.

Noire: You're not going to give up on what you've decided on?

Soejammy: Just like when I faced the Nemesis on my own after the crash in the subway.

Noire sighed even more as it was the best example Soejammy had in terms of what he had done.

Noire: Then you better listen. If you end up missing or captured in that world for any reason, I won't forgive you for letting something keep you from coming back. Twilight needs you, just like we all needed you when you had the plans to keep your friends and us safe on your adventures.

Soejammy: I don't plan on being captured.

Looking at Compa, she nodded her head to give a test vial of Twilight's blood and hand it to Soejammy. Taking the Flash-portal, Soejammy spun it around before firing a beam to make a portal leading to an open field.

Soejammy: Wish me luck. Tell Vert and Blanc what's happening, will you?

Neptune (Purple Heart voice): Will do!

Soejammy: Someone that isn't Neptune that can cause a misinterpretation of what we all just talked about...

Neptune (Purple Heart voice): Hey!

Compa: I will. I still need to update them on Twilight's condition...

Soejammy: Okay, Compa.

Turning to look at the portal, Soejammy began to step through. Opening the door to Twilight's room, Mini-Nep poked her head into the room and heard the entire conversation. When Soejammy began to step through, she began to move fast as she slipped through the portal to go with Soejammy to Twilight's world.

Dimension: Equestria

Location: Field

As Soejammy looked around, it was a bright day as he saw the care and take on the environment around him.

Soejammy: Well, at least they do a better job keeping their world safe. I'm ashamed of mine. Darn litterers...

Before Soejammy could turn around, he felt a tug on his pant leg and looked down to see a mad Mini-Nep from almost being left behind.

Mini-Nep: NEPU NEP!!

Soejammy: Gah! Mini-Nep! What the hel-heck are you doing here!?

Soejammy coughed as he held a hand to his throat.

Soejammy: Darn. Heck. Crud. Shiitake.

Soejammy widened his eyes more as he discovered something.

Soejammy: Well... That's just not right. I can't say my usual words in my world. They get filtered to being words that can't handle my speech like that. Almost like an inhibitor to make me comply with their peaceful language here. I hate it already here!

Mini-Nep: Nepu.

Soejammy looked down to see Mini-Nep having her arms crossed along with tapping her small foot in annoyance.

Soejammy: Don't give me that look, little missy. You know you shouldn't be dimensional traveling. Not to mention the LAST time that happened.

Soejammy was talking about their first adventure together as Mini-Nep had snuck along in Soejammy's pockets and was brought to the Kingdom Hearts Universe with him.

Mini-Nep: Nep! Nep neepity nep nep!

Soejammy: I don't care if we had a deal that "you get to ride in my pockets to stick with me." That was when we were on Earth. Not here in this darn dimension. DANG IT! I want to say what I usually do! I can't say my usual crud!

Mini-Nep was laughing as she couldn't hold her amusement away from him.

Soejammy: Think that's funny? Okay. Zipper pocket you go.

Picking up Mini-Nep, Soejammy places Mini-Nep in a zipper pocket and locks Mini-Nep inside it for the trip.

Soejammy: I'll let you out when I get back home. I can't have you wondering about on your own here. It's for your protection, my daughter.

Soejammy was about to begin walking, but then turned around to see another pony appear from nowhere.

???: Hi!

Soejammy: Gah!!

Soejammy then fell down backwards as he quickly got back up to see clearly who had snuck up on him.

Soejammy: Oh, dear no...

???: Deer? Deer where?? I see no deer in the distance. Did you see any?

The person gasped as the speech was female out of camera shot.

???: Hey! Stop hogging the view on yourself! Someone has to see me too, ya know???

Two pink hooves grabbed the camera and pulled towards Pinkie Pie as she could be seen clear as day in front of it. Pinkie Pie is a pink pony with frizzy hair along with a cutie mark that of party balloons.

Pinkie Pie: There that's better! Hehehe~!

Soejammy began to sweat and turned around to walk off. Pinkie Pie saw Soejammy walking off and began to follow him.

Pinkie Pie: So, who are you? Are you someone new to Ponyville?

Soejammy: No.

Pinkie Pie: Visiting someone in Ponyville?

Soejammy: No.

Pinkie Pie: On a business to do some seriousness stuff?

Soejammy was about to say no, but looked at Pinkie Pie with a look of annoyance.

Soejammy: You talk too much, you know that?

Pinkie Pie: My friends tell me that a lot. One time Rainbow Dash tried to hide from me so many times, but I always found her. I was the best hide and seek player! Hehe!

Soejammy: Wonderful...

Pinkie looked at Soejammy as he had his side blaster holstered while holding his main one in his hands.

Pinkie Pie: So, who are you?

Soejammy: No one important. I'm just a visitor from a far away land.

Pinkie Pie: What kind of land?

Soejammy: A land where you can't reach by normal conventional means.

Pinkie Pie: Like flying?

Soejammy: Something like that. Look, I REALLY need to go. I'm looking for a doctor. A SPECIFIC doctor.

Pinkie Pie put a hoof to her chin as she tried to think.

Pinkie PIe: A veterinarian? A medical doctor?

Soejammy: A doctor that lives in a forest.

Pinkie Pie: A forest doctor? Oh, like a spiritualist that teaches you how to breathe energy for fighting vampires?

Soejammy was about to speak again, but stopped himself when looking at Pinkie Pie specifically on what she said.

Soejammy: Stop that. And no, not to fight vampires.

Soejammy pointed towards the Everfree Forest as he had a serious determination.

Soejammy: I'm going into the Everfree Forest.

Pinkie Pie gasped as she then circled to cut off Soejammy's path.

Pinkie Pie: What!? Are you nuts!? There are monsters! Creatures! The strangeness you have NEVER seen!!

Soejammy: I beg to differ with my current situation...

Pinkie Pie: Regardless of that! Why do you want to go there!?

Soejammy: Business.

Pinkie Pie: Well I won't let you! It's a dangerous place! Also!

Pinkie Pie became sad when mentioning this next part.

Pinkie Pie: One of my friends went in there and disappeared... We haven't even found her yet...

This caught Soejammy's attention as he looked at the pink pony.

Soejammy: What friend are they?

Pinkie Pie: A purple unicorn... Her name is Twilight Sparkle...

The name hit Soejammy at his heart in knowing he had to help Twilight, but he needed to know this world's condition too.

Soejammy: How long has she been missing...?

Pinkie Pie: For 2 months...

This alarmed Soejammy when the time difference was great. From hearing that, he became alarmed that while he is here, time is accelerating in his dimension. Giving him a need to end the conversation fast. Soejammy then placed a hand on Pinkie's head and gave a small pat.

Soejammy: Don't worry. Your friend is going to be fine. Maybe she is doing a bit of soul searching or some special training for herself.

Pinkie Pie: But what if it isn't!?

Soejammy: It's something you're going to have to trust. How about this? Let's throw a party to celebrate our meeting?

Pinkie Pie: A PARTY!? EEEEEEEEEE!!!

As soon as a party was mentioned, Pinkie Pie then began to gallop out as Soejammy was able to breathe again.

Soejammy: "Two months..." Darn it. I need to hurry.

Gearing himself up, Mini-Nep was able to unzip the pocket slightly as she had heard the conversation.

Mini-Nep: Nepu!

Soejammy: I know. I know I need to get to Zecora right away.

With the new situation being made, Soejammy began running to the Everfree Forest while engaging his invisibility just in case Pinkie Pie rushed back on what he wanted.

Soejammy's Point of View

Location: Everfree Forest

Once in the forest, I began to carefully walk around with my blaster out and ready to counter any creature in there.

Soejammy: The Everfree Forest... Never thought I would see the day I have to be here...

I looked around and kept to my surroundings. Hearing the slightest sound, I turned around fast and kept my alarms up just in case.

Soejammy: Got to also be careful... There's even a creature that turns you into a stone... I can't allow myself to be turned to stone.

I kept walking as I headed further into the forest. Hearing a twig snap, I turned around fast and aimed my weapon towards the sound. If nothing noticed me, then I had no qualms with them. As long as the forest let me get to Zecora's safely, I would not attack back.

Soejammy: Zecora lives deep in the forest. I just have to get there...

Mini-Nep poked her head out with a bored look on her face and looked at me.

Mini-Nep: Nep Nepu?

Soejammy: Talking to myself keeps me thinking along with being alert. It's a thing I do to keep myself calm. And what are you doing poking your head out? Get back in there.

Using my thumb to push Mini-Nep back into the pocket, I then zip it up again. When I was about to take a few more steps into the forest, I then began to smell a foul odor.

Soejammy: Ugh... Who cut the cheese?

Taking a closer look around my surroundings, I widened my eyes to see the Timberwolves appeared before me with a snarl.

Soejammy: So, weird question... It wasn't that long that you all saw me, was it?

The growls intensified as they began to creep closer to me.

Soejammy: Going to take a guess that is yes, and RUN!!!

https://youtu.be/1DJuPh_KO7E

I ducked under a Timberwolf and began to run into the forest as fast as I could. Looking over his shoulder, I could see the pack of Timberwolves running to catch up to me.

Soejammy: Of all the darn animals here to face and keep a grudge, it had to be them!!

I took my side blaster and pulled the chamber back and looked behind as I fired a dart. When it impacted against a Timberwolf, it reacted to the magic keeping it together and caused the magic to stop holding it together.

Soejammy: Ha! Take that!

When looking ahead, I saw four other Timberwolves show themselves running towards me while others were behind me too.

Soejammy: Give me a dang break!

I rushed in faster as I began to close the distance to the wolves faster. When they pounced, I jumped and went into a slide as I went under the wolves and primed my blaster.

Soejammy: Eat darts!

I fired three darts at the ones that went over me to see them break apart. As I got up quickly, I tried to turn around to attack the next one, but was soon pounced on and driven to the ground.

Soejammy: GAH!

The only thing keeping me from getting my face bitten into by the Timberwolf on top of me, was the blaster I was using as support to push against the body of the Timberwolf. The wolf was growling and clawing at me to make me weaken my resistance in keeping it from me. I was grunting as I was losing strength fast. I then yelled as I got a foot under the Timberwolf that had me pinned down and I pushed with all my might to kick it away from me. As it landed on its paws, I got my weapon ready and fired it into its mouth as it broke down into pieces like the rest. I hurried and got up to continue running as I got into a clearing of the forest, but my luck would have it that I was at a cliff face that led to more trees down below.

Soejammy: OF ALL THE ROTTEN-!!

I heard growls behind me as I looked to see it was the Timberwolves slowly moving towards me. I didn't dare aim my weapon as I was at a cliff now. I had to think about my options very carefully. It was facing the Timberwolves, or doing something I will regret.

Soejammy: Okay, I know you wolves want to eat me. I can relate to that. I don't want to be eaten, you don't want to face me after what happened the last time. I say that-

One of the Timberwolves growled louder as a response that it won't listen to me.

Soejammy: Okay. Fair point made.

I tried to take a step back, but the crumbling of the cliff made me stop and consider my options.

Soejammy: Oh, come on! Why does this happen to me???

Considering either the cliff or the Timberwolves, I had to decide on one and risk a chance for survival. That choice being...to run away like a little sissy and jump off the cliff.

Soejammy: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I looked down and saw the trees closing in fast as I raised my arms to shield myself from the trees. When I went into the trees, I then began grunting as I hit each tree trunk I came across until I hit the ground hard.

Soejammy: Ugh... N-No more trees...

From the shock of it all, I began to lose consciousness, but not before hearing someone.

???: What is this I see? Some hairless creature could be?

I could make out just their dark figure, but not more than that before passing out.

Flashback...

Dimension: Soejammy's

Date November 18th, 2022 - Friday

Time: Sunset - 6:00 p.m.

It was just recently that I got off work for an hour, as I was driving around town. I went into a GameStop to look and see some games. I would have continued to look, when my gaze went to see something that caught my eye. What I saw was a Sleeping Eevee plush that was life sized to be like the Eevee in Pokémon.

Soejammy: Well, that's cute. It looks so cuddly and peaceful.

As I kept looking at the toy more, I then got an idea as I picked it up and bought the plush at the desk.

Location: Soejammy's house

Date: December 25th, 2022

Time: Morning - 9:00 a.m.

When Christmas came around, I had carefully kept the toy a secret from Twilight as I had told her about Christmas. I had always wondered what it was like to tell a child about Santa the first time. I wanted to make it seem like I did give it to Twilight, but I wanted her to think there was also someone else that was watching out for her own happiness too. The smile I saw from Twilight that day just warmed my heart so much when she squealed and hugged the plushy so much. I kept smiling as I looked around the room to the CPUs that all smiled in seeing Twilight happy. Though, that was after I blinked and saw what was next. When it changed, my eyes went wide and saw Twilight lying still on the floor and the CPUs planted to the walls in the room. The lone figure, standing there, laughing at what he did. That person was Xehanort.

Xehanort: Well, well. Now I see why you choose to control your darkness now, boy. I can't wait to break your will over me.

I felt my blood boil as I looked at Xehanort and jumped up, but before I could do anything else, everything went black.

Dimension: Equestria

Location: ???

Time: ???

Soejammy: XEHANORT!!!

I began to breathe heavily as I was sweating hard along with my eyes blurred from just waking up just now.

???: Ah, awake from your slumber? You even slept like a lumber. That much is true.

Soejammy: H-Huh...?

I looked around my surroundings as my vision began to return to me. When I could properly see again, I recognized where I was. If I knew where I was, then I know who was speaking to me. Looking over, I saw the black and white zebra herself, Zecora with a rag in her mouth.

Zecora: Bad nightmare, I presume? A dream-catcher might do you better in the future, else, your nightmares be your doom.

I looked and listened as this was indeed Zecora I was speaking to. I looked and saw her many potions, spices, my gear, and ingredients that were around her hut. I was about to say something, when I saw Mini-Nep pop out of Zecora's mohawk.

Mini-Nep: Nep!

Soejammy: Mini-Nep! Get out of her mane this instant!

Before I could do anything, Zecora began to chuckle as I looked at her.

Zecora: Do not be alarmed, she is doing no harm. Your Mini-Nep is quite fine, as she is only spending her time.

It was quite different speaking to someone who spoke in rhymes. Knowing Zecora though, she didn't mind.

Soejammy: How long was I asleep?

Zecora: Three hours you see, quite a lot of time that has to be.

I was shocked when I heard Zecora say that as the dread came rushing up on me in an instant.

Soejammy: Three hours?! No no no no! Okay, look I don't have time to explain everything, but-!

Zecora held up a hoof as she seemed to get in business that was important as well.

Zecora: Much has been explained, by your tiny little friend. For which I do not wish mine to reach their end.

I looked at Zecora and then Mini-Nep as I was confused.

Soejammy: Wait, did you understand her at all???

Zecora: Of course not, for I have no perception of what she says. So, I had her write it down instead.

I looked at Mini-Nep as she was holding up a note. The note read "My father and I come from another world. We're here because my sister needs help. The reason we're here is because my sister is also your friend that is missing from this world, her name is Twilight Sparkle. We have a vial containing what she is sick with, but we don't know how long we have. Please, help us!" I looked at Mini-Nep as I picked her up.

Soejammy: Two things... First, you can write??? How come you never showed me???

Mini-Nep: Nepu Nep Nep.

Soejammy: You could have shown me any time along with the others!

Mini-Nep: Nep nepu.

Soejammy: What do you mean "We never asked?!"

I was about to go on about this, but there were bigger problems.

Soejammy: Moving on... Second, you told her?!

Zecora: The situation you face is quite tricky. Luckily for you, I am not quite so picky.

Soejammy: Simpler terms, if you could...? I don't know if my brain can take it, if it should...

I widened my eyes as I caught myself in a rhyme. Oh, this is such a crime...

Soejammy: Gah! Too much rhyming! Okay! Please tell me you made an antidote???

Zecora: As a matter of fact, I do. Much with my claim, that much is true.

Zecora then revealed a bottle that is what Zecora claims to be the antidote to help with Twilight's sickness right now.

Soejammy: The antidote!

I was about to reach for the potion that could help Twilight, but Zecora soon slapped my hand away and left me quite shocked.

Soejammy: Ow! What gives!?

Zecora: While you were in your sleep, your daughter even promised me something to keep.

Soejammy: And that is...?

Zecora: The venture to your world, where Ms. Sparkle's location is confirmed.

I felt my blood run cold as I looked at Mini-Nep as she did that while I was asleep.

Soejammy: Why?

Zecora: To see if you do not speak of lies. And if our situation is what it is, we mustn't waste any time.

I curled my hand into a fist as I looked at my gear.

Soejammy: Ugh... Fine. But I would rather not let anyone else see me except you. Pinkie Pie was already a nuisance as is. Only problem is, I have no means of transforming how I look.

Zecora: Lucky for you, I have a trick that you could make do.

I looked at Zecora as she handed me another potion. When I was about to ask, I could see that I should just trust her in terms that she is doing so much for me.

Soejammy: Haaaaa... Bottoms up.

When I opened the bottle, I began to chug down the contents of the potion. I smacked my lips and looked at the bottle.

Soejammy: Hmm... Tastes like fruit punch. I like fruit punch. How did you get it to taste like-

I stopped as I felt my body tense up in feeling pain course through my body. I began to yell in agony.

Soejammy: What the heck is happening to me?!

Zecora: Oh, I forgot to mention this tiny bit of detail. The first time, will leave you quite nailed.

Soejammy: What is that even supposed to meeeeeeeean!!!

I grunted as I felt like my bones were popping and shrinking. I felt dizzy as I couldn't even open my eyes from the pain I felt. It took a bit of time, but after I was able to endure the torture I felt, I was able to stand up.

Soejammy: Oooooooow... Crud Zecora. What was in that drink??? I appreciate the no bad taste in it, but that hurt!

Zecora: Why not look at your reflection, your form is not what I expected.

Soejammy: What are you talking ab- Hey... Since when were you at my height? Did you grow?

Zecora: Your thinking is flawed as I have done nothing to myself. It is you who have done this yourself.

Soejammy: Rhymes... Always with the rhymes... What is that I'm supposed to-

When I looked at myself in the mirror based on what Zecora said, I looked at myself closely as my jaw dropped to the floor. I had turned into that of an Alicorn!! I had turned into a white skinned, brown-haired maned Alicorn with large yellow eyes. I had the horn and wings to match as my clothes had changed to meet the desired form too. On my back hips though, I even had a cutie mark!! It looked to be a book and quill. Probably representing my uniqueness of writing stories if I am not mistaken.

Soejammy (Alicorn): I'VE TURNED INTO A PONY!!!

If anyone besides Zecora and Mini-Nep were watching right now, they would be seeing me do something like Twilight did when she turned human in that Equestria Girls movie. Quite funny, but not when it happens to yourself!!!

Soejammy (Alicorn): AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

Zecora: Do not be alarmed! There is no harm!

Soejammy (Alicorn): I thought you were giving me an invisibility potion! I didn't think it was this!

Zecora: Then it is you to blame, for your phrasing was not the same.

I wanted to refute that, but I knew what Zecora meant at that time.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Okay, I'll give you that, but the pain would have been great to know in advance...

Zecora: Warnings of pain I should have gave. But seeing you come here in search of help, that much can be saved.

Soejammy looked at Zecora as he then looked at himself in the mirror again as he tried to get used to his alicorn form. Focusing his attention on the wings, he was able to lift them, but they would flop back down instead of flapping.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Ugh... Fine. If I'm going to look like this, I can make use of this as a way of sneaking in surprises. Got anything that can cover the wings? If I can just pull on something to release the covers, that would help. Maybe some practice too...

Zecora: Practice for another time on your visit here, so much to do in your world that is there.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Twilight...

I sighed as Zecora handed me a cover like I had requested for my wings so as to conceal I was an Alicorn.

Zecora: Why not give magic a spin? I'll bet it'll give you such a grin~

I looked at Zecora as I looked at the horn on my head.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Zecora... I'm not sure it's going to-

Zecora: Give it a try? I promise you it isn't a lie.

I looked at Zecora as I looked to see an unlit candle and tried aiming my magic for that. I tried focusing some thoughts on a fireball to be launched to light the candle up. I thought I heard some sparks happening, but when I looked at the candle, it didn't light up.

Soejammy (Alicorn): See?

Zecora: This is quite a predicament indeed... Did I forget something that you need...?

Soejammy (Alicorn): No... I felt something was trying to happen... It's more... Related to me WHY I can't...

Zecora: What is that you mean? Excuse me if I am making a scene.

Soejammy (Alicorn): A story for another time... Right now, I need to get back to Twilight and help her...

Zecora nodded her head as I instructed her to put the potion into my pocket. Once we were ready, I then instructed Mini-Nep to jump in, but helping me put my blasters away and began heading back out of the Everfree Forest.

Location: Field

Time: Sunset

It had only been four hours since I left home and came here to Equestria. I had gotten help from Zecora and got an antidote for Twilight. We exited out of the Everfree Forest as the sun was beginning to set.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Zecora. Thank you again for helping me with the antidote... You didn't have to do this for me... For all I could have been doing was lie to you.

Zecora: A lie is what I would have seen if you did. Something I wouldn't have let slid.

Soejammy (Alicorn): But why? You had no reason for it.

Zecora: When someone speaks with action, there is a joy of satisfaction.

I looked at Zecora as I sighed and just smiled.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Still, you were the first person I came to here in this world. If anything, Twilight trusts you the most.

Zecora: Tell me something that is unknown. I wish to know the world that you know.

Soejammy (Alicorn): You see, I come from a world of humans. That's what I am. Unlike magic, we have science that can be converted into energy to harness for lots of things. How I got here to your world was through a flashlight I modified to open up dimensional portals from my world to yours. The only thing I don't understand is... How did our two worlds connect...? Such a thing doesn't happen without a cause... Because afterwards, creatures from the Everfree Forest began to appear in my world. Parasprites, Timberwolves, Ursa Minors, and dare I say Trixie that not only attacked me, BUT stole something from me and kidnapped Twilight.

Zecora looked at me as if trying to understand, but was following what I was saying to her.

Zecora: And you have been doing that for this long? How are you this strong?

Soejammy (Alicorn): Have to be. There isn't any room for mistakes when it comes to keeping those I love and cherish safe. That's why I'm here. Your help is my last chance.

Zecora looked at me and smiled at putting all my trust in her for help. With nothing else to ask, we began to head to where I originated into her world.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Oh. That reminds me. I need to put down a device that I keep on me. It helps in locking coordinates to dimension travel. Mini-Nep, help me out and take it out?

Hearing my voice, Mini-Nep popped out with a circular device that enlarged itself when it came out of my pocket. Mini-Nep carried it as I grabbed it with my teeth to help Mini-Nep onto my back. Zecora looked at me as if confused about what I asked Mini-Nep to do.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Okay, let me explain. You see, this isn't my first time going to dimensions. I don't normally carry these with me, but after a certain thing happened, I would rather keep some on me for my protection. These devices link your world to the portal I have in my world. Allowing me to have an instant connection every time to come and go as I please. If I haven't been here before, I can't do so normally. The reason I got here was because of my Flash-portal I made by using pieces of a being from this world that crossed through a portal. A being who crosses through a portal gains a residual energy from the portal.

Zecora seemed to be more confused as I kept trying to explain what I was saying.

Soejammy (Alicorn): In simpler terms, unless I put this device down, I can't come back here without needing portal energy.

Zecora: Oh, then why didn't you say so before? All that talking must make your throat sore.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Not really. Ask any question, I'll answer it as lengthy and simple as I can make it. I figure that explaining in detail how things work makes it easier to understand something. As long as I have the means to show it.

Zecora: Thank you for being detailed. But we mustn't let our trek be more derailed.

Soejammy (Alicorn): You're right. Let's hurry and-

???: HI BEST FRIEND!!!

Soejammy (Alicorn): Oh no... Now wh- AHHHH!!

Looking to my horror, I could see Pinkie Pie had returned, but that wasn't my only worry. Along with Pinkie, she brought Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Of all the luck...! Why did she bring them here...!?

I looked at all of this as I tried to calm myself back down and looked at Mini-Nep. Noticing my cue, she took the device and herself back into my pocket to conceal themselves.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Zecora, they CAN'T know about what is going on with Twilight. At all!

Zecora: But they are Twilight's friends. I cannot just pretend-

Soejammy (Alicorn): If I know Twilight's friends, Rainbow Dash and Applejack are going to be the accusing types! They jump to conclusions more than anyone! Just like when they accused you of cursing them!

Zecora looked at me as she then raised an eyebrow.

Zecora: And by that, how do you know? That knowledge should be unknown.

I bit my lip as I said something I shouldn't have as I looked at Zecora.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Zecora, I don't have time to explain that. Just please! You have to trust me!

Zecora looked into my eyes as I was beginning to panic.

Zecora: A lot of explaining you will have to do, but the time for that is not yet due. When that time comes, you will not run.

Soejammy: I promise! But the answer you find may not be kind...

Zecora looked at me as if telling me to not hide anything from her. I want to explain that in my world they're just cartoons. But how does one explain that to one of the CHARACTERS themselves?! Before we could do anything else, the Mane 5, the official group name would have been 6 if Twilight was with them.

Pinkie Pie: Hi Zecora! Have you seen something that is tall, weird looking, and has the same color hair as this Unicorn?

Pinkie then poked my nose to let Zecora know she was talking about me. If I talked right now, Pinkie Pie would undoubtedly know I was right in front of her.

Zecora: Something that is weird looking and tall? Nothing like that I can recall.

Applejack: Yeah? Well, it wouldn't surprisin' with Twilight missin' and all.

Rainbow Dash: IF, Twilight is even still here. Who knows where she went! If someone took her, I'll make them tell me where she went.

Fluttershy: Um... Rainbow Dash...? M-Maybe you don't have to resort to that...?

Rainbow Dash: Don't be such a scaredy pony, Fluttershy.

Rarity: Well, if you do, keep me from what you do. My hooves had just been through a manicure and I rather not mess them up.

Applejack: How can ya be thinkin' about yer hooves when Twilight is still missin'!?

As I watched this happening, I looked at Zecora as we needed a plan to get me out of here.

Zecora: Ponies, Ponies, stop your rebuttal. This is a time to be subtle.

Applejack looked at Zecora and seemed to be taken in by what she said.

Applejack: Sorry Zecora. We're just worried about Twilight.

Zecora: Your friend may be missing, but this is no way to be living. Is that what Twilight wants you all to do?

The others looked at each other while showing their worried need to find Twilight.

Fluttershy: We're sorry Zecora... We just miss Twilight...

Pinkie Pie: Yeah. I miss surprising her with all my cool tricks and parties!

Rarity: Not to mention Spike even misses her... The poor thing.

I looked at Rarity as it took me all this time to realize that Twilight's friends aren't the only ones missing her, but her assistant, Spike. I looked down with a sad expression as I wanted to tell them, but how would they react to me? Would they attack me? Capture me? I'm even scared about what they would do to me.

Rainbow Dash: By the way, who's your friend, Zecora?

I panicked when Rainbow Dash opened her mouth and spoke about me. That's the last topic I wanted to hear after Pinkie's big mouth.

Applejack: Yeah. We didn't know you had another friend besides Applebloom.

Rarity: Not to mention the sheen of his fur, the mane. Hmmm~

Why does my normal showering routine have to betray me for someone like her!? I began to sweat as I didn't dare make a sound in front of Pinkie Pie. She has the WEIRDEST ways of finding people out. Not to even mention sense danger. I want to think about what would happen if my stress causes my Darkness to appear, but I can't let that happen. I looked at Fluttershy as I tried to wave softly at her, but like most people, she tends to get very shy and hide behind her friends from people she doesn't know. Kitty would relate to her the most, bless her heart.

Soejammy (Alicorn): (Just how much longer is this going to go on??? Twilight needs me and the longer I stay here, the more my world speeds up...! Twilight! Please hold on!)

I began to try and think about how I can get out of here, but then I came up with something as a common courtesy. Looking at Zecora, I gave a simple bow to show my respect for helping me out of the forest. Looking into her eyes, Zecora caught on that I was needing to leave now to get back to my world. I would have gotten away, but Pinkie Pie dashed to cut me off.

Pinkie Pie: Hey! Have you seen a guy taller than us? Has weird feet? Same mane color as yours? Do you have a cutie mark? What's your talent?

Applejack: Pinkie Pie. Leave him alone. I'm sure he has places to be.

Pinkie Pie: Oh! Are you a new resident in town? Are you visiting? Do you have serious business here?

Why are the first few questions she asks me right now the SAME THREE before!? I couldn't answer directly or my voice would give me away. I shook my head to answer her question as Zecora stepped in to give me help.

Zecora: Pinkie, this pony was seeking a miracle. It is something that can't be helped at a clinical.

I looked at Zecora as I got what she was doing. She was using it as an excuse as I couldn't talk as if I'm a mute. I looked at Pinkie Pie as I pretended to try and make a sound, but rubbed my throat with my hand, or hoof actually...

Pinkie Pie: Oh... I-I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to be nosy.

Applejack: Sorry about that. Pinkie just likes to make new friends.

Rainbow Dash: Pinkie even throws the coolest parties. Always having a party for any occasion.

Rarity: She made a mess in my home one time, but nothing like a bit of redecorating couldn't fix.

I smiled shyly in terms of trying to get going. I looked at the sun to see that it was setting further and further as I wonder how much time has passed in this world.

Zecora: You should be on your way, else you may not get away.

I nodded to Zecora while I turned to leave. But being unaccustomed to being in this form, I tripped while trying to make a quick turn to leave and fell over.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Ow! That hurt...

Rarity: Ah! He talked!

I quickly realized that I did talk and went wide eyed when that happened. I heard a gasp as it came from Pinkie Pie. I was afraid of this.

Pinkie Pie: Wait a minute! I recognize that voice! I talked to a thing that sounded just like this pony!

I was about to say something, but looked at Pinkie Pie as if she was crazy or something. Rainbow Dash flew towards Pinkie Pie with her own statement.

Rainbow Dash: Pinkie! If they sound the same, it IS him!

Pinkie Pie: Really? I thought there would be a doppelganger. Imposter maybe? Sus~

We all looked at Pinkie Pie, myself really confused more than the others, but didn't get that chance when Applejack lifted me up.

Applejack: Okay, talk. We know you can now. Who are you?

Soejammy (Alicorn): Please don't hurt me! I'm not causing trouble!

Rainbow Dash came towards me and pinned me to the ground. Rougher than Applejack was trying to be.

Rainbow Dash: Then why the secrecy then!? Why was Zecora covering for you!

Rainbow Dash gasped as she glared at me.

Rainbow Dash: Were you forcing her to help you escape!? I bet YOU kidnapped Twilight.

I looked at Rainbow Dash as she was way wrong as I sarcastically answered.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Why YES. I was using Zecora to help escape. You caught me.

Rainbow Dash: Ah ha! A confession!

Soejammy (Alicorn): It's called "sarcasm," you blue pegasus.

Rainbow Dash: Talk! What did you do to Twilight!?

Soejammy (Alicorn): I did nothing!

Rainbow Dash: Liar!

It stung when I was called a liar by her as I glared back at Rainbow Dash.

Soejammy (Alicorn): You dare call me a liar!? I'm telling you the truth!!

Zecora wanted to jump in and help, but I didn't want her to get into any more trouble as I needed to defuse this situation myself.

Applejack: Then why ask Zecora to change you!?

Soejammy (Alicorn): Because my real form is too weird for this world!

Applejack: "For this world???" What in tarnation do you mean!?

Looking at the sun, it was going down even further as I began to struggle.

Soejammy (Alicorn): I don't have time to explain. I NEED to get going!

Rainbow Dash: You are NOT going ANYWHERE!

Soejammy (Alicorn): Get off of me!

Rainbow Dash: WHERE IS TWILIGHT!

Soejammy (Alicorn): GET OFF ME!!

Feeling my anger being set off, my Darkness surged as it propelled Rainbow Dash to the sky as I looked at my hooves and the ponies around me. I realized my Darkness released itself with my mane turning dark and my hooves having Darkness on them as I focused my heart to calm back down and repress the Darkness.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Ngh!!

Applejack: What the HAY is that stuff!?

Applejack began trying to get closer as I shot her a look.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Don't get any closer!

Applejack halted in her steps as I focused on calming down.

Soejammy (Alicorn): I'm not here to harm ANYONE here! I just want to go back home! I need to get back home! You have no idea what forces are at work, and I don't have the time to explain it! Nep!

Calling out to Mini-Nep, she pops out the device I had her hold onto when she went back in my pocket as I grabbed it with my teeth. Before I could place it down, something rammed into me. I looked to see it was Rainbow Dash who wasn't happy about what had happened to her.

Rainbow Dash: Cheap trick you did!

Soejammy (Alicorn): Will you leave me alone!?

Rainbow Dash: Not until you confess!

Soejammy (Alicorn): Oh, here we go! Here comes the whole "Accuse the first person of what crimes they did!!!" You're not so great yourself, Rainbow Crash.

Rainbow Dash: WHAT!? I'll have you know I'm the BEST flier here in Equestria!!

Soejammy (Alicorn): Yeah, until you get some Poison Joke on you~ Does the flying upside down remind you of anything~? Or does being spit back out by a dragon or getting hit by a manticore not ring any bells~?

Rainbow Dash seemed to be shocked that I knew about all that as I took the chance to get her off of me and grab the device into my teeth to gallop away. As I began to get away, Pinkie Pie somehow got around to cut off my path. Each time I tried to change directions, she would always block me.

Pinkie Pie: You're not leaving...

Soejammy (Alicorn): Pinkie...

Pinkie Pie: Until you tell me what kind of party you want!

I looked at Pinkie Pie as she had the worst timings for parties sometimes. When I began to run past Pinkie Pie, I felt I was going to get some distance away, but then I felt my legs get tied up.

Soejammy (Alicorn): GAH!!

Falling forward, I dropped the device in my mouth as I looked to see Applejack had done it.

Applejack: Sorry, but we need answers if you know where Twilight is!

Soejammy (Alicorn): And I don't have time for this! Star Platinum! Za Warudo!!!

As soon as I called that out, Star Platinum came out and froze time. I looked to see Applejack was slightly confused why I shouted that in frozen time.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Star Platinum! Get me out of- Huh?!

When looking at Star Platinum, I could see that my Stand had turned into an Alicorn like myself!

Soejammy (Alicorn): (Why is Star Platinum an Alicorn?! Could it be because of my own change here?! Darn it! Guess I'll have to have him bite the rope off!)

Focusing on Star Platinum, I willed him to bite the rope as it took one bite before breaking the rope. Getting up, I called Star Platinum back as I picked the device back to gallop in the frozen time until time resumed on its own. As I kept trying to get away, I looked to my side to see Pinkie Pie just bouncing to keep pace with me.

Pinkie Pie: Did you want streamers or party poppers for your party?

Soejammy (Alicorn): Ugh...

I stopped time once more as I had Star Platinum to turn Pinkie Pie the other way and have her bounce back towards where she came from. When I thought I had time to set the device up after getting some peace, I felt a big impact hit against me as I looked to see an angry Rainbow Dash. When I tried getting up, she pinned me down to keep me from running.

Rainbow Dash: STOP RUNNING!!

Soejammy (Alicorn): Stop... Chasing me then...

Rainbow Dash: Not until you tell us where Twilight is!!

Soejammy (Alicorn): And I can't do that.

Rainbow Dash: WHY!?

Soejammy (Alicorn): I have my own reasons!

While Rainbow Dash kept me pinned down, Fluttershy came along and tried to respectfully, but was still nervous about talking to me.

Fluttershy: Um... S-Sorry for how rough we're being. W-We just want our friend back... If you could tell us why, I'm sure Rainbow Dash would-

Rainbow Dash: You call THAT an interrogation, Fluttershy??? Come on! Get mad and yell at him!

Fluttershy was very nervous as she doesn't get angry unless she wants to.

Fluttershy: Um... G-Grr...?

I felt sorry for Fluttershy as she wanted to defuse the situation as calmly as possible, but I remembered something about Fluttershy that I can use to my advantage.

Soejammy: Mini-Nep. Cuteness overload!

Hearing my command, a canned circular container came flying out of my pocket and landed on my chest.

Rainbow Dash: Was that meant to hit me?

Soejammy (Alicorn): No. The command was meant for this.

After a few seconds of waiting, Mini-Nep came out of the can in the cutest way possible.

Mini-Nep: Nepu!

Rainbow Dash looked at Mini-Nep and wasn't even impressed as she looked at me.

Rainbow Dash: And what was that supposed to be?

Soejammy: Oh, that wasn't meant for you.

Rainbow Dash was about to say something, when she was pushed aside by Fluttershy to have a closer look at Mini-Nep.

Fluttershy: Oh! You are so cute~! I have never seen you before~! Are you a new species?

Fluttershy never got a chance to get her answers as I froze time to get Mini-Nep back in my pocket with the device in my mouth to keep running. As I kept running, I saw the sun had set as the moon was rising. With too many interruptions happening here, I needed to find another building to get into and give me time to set up the device. Luckily, I knew of one.

Location: Ponyville, Twilight's home

Time: Night.

The chase kept happening until we reached Twilight's house as I began to knock on the door to the house.

Soejammy: SPIKE! SPIKE! Open up!

Until I got an answer, I saw the door open with a purple and green child-like dragon standing in front of me.

Spike: Yeah... Yeah... Who is-

Not even letting him have time to wake up, I rushed in and slammed the door and got the device on the floor. Hitting a button, it began to start up in building energy.

Soejammy (Alicorn): Come on...! This is my last chance!

Spike: Hey! Who are you?! You can't be here!

Banging could be heard at the door as I heard the familiar rage of a pony, or rather pegasus.

Rainbow Dash (Outside): Spike! Open the door! That unicorn kidnapped Twilight!

Spike looked at the door and then towards me and began to stomp towards me.

Spike: Okay, what did you do to her!?

Soejammy (Alicorn): Oh, can we not do this?! I'm literally trying to fix a problem!

Spike: And what problem is that?!

Soejammy (Alicorn): Trying to get back to my world and curing Twilight!

Spike looked at me confused when I saw his expression. I was constantly looking back and forth every 10 seconds to keep an eye on my surroundings.

Spike: "Back to your world. Curing Twilight?" What in the name of Equestria are you talking about?!

Soejammy (Alicorn): Can we talk about this ANOTHER TIME?! Every second I lose here is however long I lose in the world I come from!!

Spike: Y-You're REALLY not from here?

Soejammy (Alicorn): Of course I'm not! I asked Zecora to camouflage me like this with one of her potions! Want to know more details, ask her! But Twilight's friends are chasing me because they think I had something to do with her disappearance! But I'm not! I came here to ask Zecora for help!

Spike was trying to understand everything being told to him as the door began to be hit hard. My guess was Rainbow Dash or Applejack trying to force their way in.

Applejack (Outside): Spike! We need to get that unicorn! Open the door!

Pinkie Pie (Outside): Do you think something happened to him?!

Rarity (Outside): I for one want to find Twilight, but these are such brutal actions!

Fluttershy (Outside): Please don't hurt him! What if the small adorable creature he has gets hurt...

There was silence for a moment as Spike and I looked at each other as I figured the others were looking at Fluttershy as the banging stopped.

Fluttershy (Outside): I'm just thinking about its safety...

The banging continued as Spike got a chair and some stuff to place in front of the door. I looked at Spike to see what he was doing.

Spike: I'm not helping you! But if you say you're here to help Twilight, I'll trust you! Especially if Zecora trusts you too!

Soejammy (Alicorn): Thank you, Spike... Really. I mean it.

As the door was giving way, I saw Pinkie Pie look through a window as I rushed to cover them one by one. As I kept a look out for any break-ins, I heard a mechanism release as I looked towards my device as it was soon generating a small portal, but soon enlarged slowly.

Spike: What IS that?!

Soejammy (Alicorn): A portal. A portal back to my world. The world I come from.

As I kept watch and tweaked components to help the process go a little quicker, the furniture and chair Spike was using was giving way.

Spike: Can't you make that thing work any faster?!

Soejammy (Alicorn): It's not easy using hooves for hands!

Spike: At least try! I don't know if I can keep this door closed much longer!

The device kept powering up as I was tweaking to help make the process continue faster. I looked at Spike to see that the door was budging slowly as I saw Rainbow Dash poke her head in.

Rainbow Dash: When I get my hooves on you, I will- Huh?!

I looked at Rainbow Dash in the eyes as I looked at my portal. It was near completion as I stood up and looked at her.

Soejammy (Alicorn): You may not know what happened here today, but I assure you, I am here to help. I just wish the same support came from Twilight's closest friends.

I saw Rainbow Dash trying to squeeze her way through the door as I waited for the portal to finalize. Once it did. It showed my world with my lab as the device had fully integrated itself to be a portal location in the middle of Twilight's home. As I walked through, the magic of the potion that I drank wore off as my Alicorn form disappeared while real form could be seen from the other side of my world. I looked back as the door had busted open as the Mane 5 and Spike saw what I really looked like.

Soejammy: Until we meet again. Hopefully on better conditions.

I looked to see Rainbow Dash prepare herself to charge towards me as I snapped my fingers to close the portal. Before it shut, I saw Rainbow Dash tried to rush towards me, but never got close to the portal before it closed.

Dimension: Soejammy's

Location: Soejammy's Home, Secret Lab

Once Inhad returned home, the voice I heard was from "I".

I: How was the trip?

Soejammy: Troubling. Nearly got eaten by Timberwolves. I don't know how long they were back, but judging how they acted, it seemed like time HARDLY passed in Twilight's world while we were here. "I"... I have to ask... How long have I been away...?

I: How long do you think you've been away?

Soejammy: I spent 6 hours in Twilight's world.

I: Jammy... It has been a full day here since you left.

I felt an uneasy feeling in my stomach hearing those words.

Date: January 8th, 2023 - Sunday

Soejammy: So, 6 hours is the equivalent to a full day here lost... Dang that's fast...

I: Enough talking about space and time... Twilight is in critical condition right now.

Widening my eyes, I soon went to the telepad and warped to my room and hurried down the steps. Looking down, I saw Mini-Nep poking her head out as she saw we had returned home.

Soejammy: (Please Twilight! Hold on!!)

Getting down to Twilight's room, I bursted into the room as I was reaching for my pocket. In the room, Noire was with Blanc while IF and Compa were helping take care of Twilight while I was gone. Hearing me come into the room, the four of them looked at me. IF being the most shocked one as when I looked into the mirror, I saw myself slightly bruised from my fall in the Everfree Forest.

IF: Jammy?! Are you okay?! What happened to you?!

Compa: You've been gone for a whole day!

Soejammy: Time distortion... Different time speeds... Timberwolves haven't forgotten what I did to them...

The group looked at me as Neptune was the first to answer what I said.

Neptune (Purple Heart voice): What?

Soejammy: Can someone just move or get Twilight to drink this...?

I felt my vision begin to spin as I got the potion out and set it down on the table next to Compa.

Soejammy: I... I had too much running and... And... Ugh...

Before I knew it, I passed out from the exhaustion and heard Noire cry out my name in worry.

Date: January 9th, 2023 - Monday

Time: Noon - 12:00 p.m

As I woke up for the first time today in his bed, I slowly looked at the clock and saw I was far too late to work as I was about to get up, but something stopped me. A hand was placed on my shoulder with a familiar voice.

Noire: Don't worry. We already called ahead and said you're not going to be in today. Said you weren't feeling well.

Soejammy: Why didn't any of you try to wake me up...?

Noire: We tried. You must've been working and exhausted yourself worrying about Twilight. You even lost sleep with how worried you were. The exhaustion caught up and you were out of it.

Soejammy: Ugh... Fine... I won't, but I'm still getting up because-

When looking at Noire, I could see that Noire's hair had returned to being black.

Soejammy: N-Noire. Your hair.

Noire tilted her head in confusion of what I meant.

Noire: Yeah? What about it?

Soejammy: Did you dye it back to the natural color you had?

Noire: Oh, right. You were still out cold when that happened.

Soejammy: What do you mean??? What happened???

Noire was trying to find her words as it looked like it was something hard to discuss.

Noire: Um... I think it's best you look to see for yourself. But I wouldn't rush yourself, you're still recovering and-

Not even giving Noire a chance to explain herself, I soon got out of bed and began making my way to Twilight's room as I opened it and saw Twilight wasn't in there with her bed slightly a mess.

Soejammy: Twilight!? TWILIGHT!?

I could feel my heart racing as I was really worried about Twilight.

Noire: Jammy! Calm down!

Soejammy: Where is Twilight!?

Noire: Twilight's fine! Look, she's downstairs with Mini-Nep. It's just...

Not listening to what Noire says, I began to head down as the CPUs were heading up the stairs due to my frantic noises. When I looked at them, I was shocked to see that Vert and Blanc had returned to normal.

Neptune: Jammy? What's wrong?

Soejammy: (First Noire, and now Blanc, Vert, and Neptune!? How!?)

I shook my head as I reached for Neptune and began to shake her.

Soejammy: What happened while I was asleep!? Why is your voice back to normal? Why is Blanc and Vert back to normal!? Where is Twilight!?

???: Dad? You okay? Why are you yelling??

Hearing the voice, I looked as I saw the dark indigo that I could recognize as I quickly began to go downstairs and hug my daughter tightly. I was on my knees as I held Twilight in my arms from how worried I was about her.

Soejammy: Oh, Twilight. Thank goodness you're okay.

Twilight: Me? What about you? You were passed out from what the others told me.

Soejammy: I'm okay. I would go to and back from your world even if it meant-

When I got a better look at Twilight, I had just noticed that Twilight had gone through another change. It wasn't a bad change, but it was one that surprised me the most. What had happened to Twilight, was that she had grown up faster. More to where she became her usual self in the series she became to be.

Soejammy: T-Twilight. Y-You've changed! H-How did you get older???

Twilight looked at herself and realized that I remember her being little.

Twilight: That potion you gave me, it was from Zecora. Right?

Soejammy: Y-Yes. It was.

Twilight: I think I know what happened. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I was really sick. When I took that potion, anything that was affecting me became undone. Even magic as a cancellation. Though, I don't know where she got the ingredients for that mixture. It was even how you made the darts from how you protected yourself from Timberwolves there.

Soejammy: "Magic cancella-?"

I then looked around and then saw something shuffling in Twilight's mane as I reached in and pulled out Mini-Nep to give a stern look.

Soejammy: You WROTE to Zecora what my darts were laced with!?

Mini-Nep: Nepu nep neppy nep!!

Soejammy: I made those darts to protect us! It was to ensure the creatures from the Everfree Forest didn't harm us! You never told me it was also a magic cancellation antidote!

Mini-Nep crossed her arms and looked away.

Soejammy: Mini-Nep, you will not cross your arms and look away from me, missy!

Twilight: Dad! Please don't be angry with her! She was only trying to help! I am surprised that she never told us she can communicate by writing, but Mini-Nep must've been thinking about how to help me as much as she can! Please!

I looked at Twilight and then to Mini-Nep as I took a deep breath to put Mini-Nep back down where I got her from so as to let her enjoy herself before I interrupted.

Soejammy: I... I'm sorry. I was just... So worried when-

Twilight wrapped her arms around my neck as she held me close to her.

Twilight: I know, Dad.

I didn't take in what Twilight said until now, even when she had returned to normal like this. But hearing her still call me her "Dad", it hit hard as I didn't know how to react if Twilight had stopped after I just heard it before Christmas. I began to cry as Twilight then looked at me.

Twilight: Dad? Why are you crying?

Soejammy: Just... R-Really shocked you still call me your "Dad." I'm not a unicorn. Nor am I a pony.

Twilight: It does feel a little weird, but I still have my memories of when I did come here to your world. But, I remember the person who has kept me safe, took care of me, and treated me as one of his family. Why wouldn't I still call you "My Dad?"

Hearing those words come from Twilight again, I began to cry more tears as my strong will finally collapsed due to what Twilight said.

Twilight: You might not be my real dad, but you're the next best to take care of me.

I began crying more as they made me happy, but felt so much joy in hearing those words. I would have continued crying, but then I heard a picture being taken.

Soejammy: Who took a picture!?

Seeing the phone being held up, it was Neptune who stuck her tongue out in being caught.

Neptune: Whoops...! My finger slipped~

Before I could get up and pounce on Neptune, she began running away.

Soejammy: HEY! GET BACK HERE!!

As I began my chase with Neptune, the other CPUs, Mini-Nep and Twilight sighed and facepalmed themselves when I had a chance to look at their reactions.

Episode 6. End.
