Soejammy's point of view

Location: InFamous Supply

Date: February 10th, 2023 - Friday

Time: Noon - 12:00 p.m.

As the time had reached for my lunch break, I sighed happily.

Soejammy: That's it... I'm heading for my break...

Donna: Okay. Hey, have you been getting enough sleep lately? You seem... tired...

Soejammy: Me? Pfffft. Yeah. I'm fine. Just a lot of stuff at home to deal with. Nothing to worry about.

It was the COMPLETE opposite of what I was thinking. It had been sometime after my house was wrecked that it was close to getting done thanks to Twilight's thinking of finding a repair spell to learn. I had allowed Twilight to head back home to her world to get the book she needed for repairing the house. Even then, it was going to take work and a lot of people to help with that. Thankfully, there were 5 ponies WILLINGLY wanting to help. Once I got to the break room no one uses, I thought to myself.

Soejammy: (I wonder what they're doing now.)

Once I got myself situated and clocked out on my tablet, I then initiated a call back home as Twilight came through on it. She was currently wearing a hard hat along with Mini-Nep as she waved at Soejammy. With Twilight needing her own communications device, I decided to go with a tablet for her too so that she had her own.

Soejammy: So, how are repairs going over there?

Twilight (Call): Everything is going good. We're almost done fixing the last bit of stuff needing to be fixed up here.

Rainbow Dash (Call): Finally. This whole thing has been nothing but a hassle.

I gained a tick mark as I clenched my fist once she finally came into view. I made sure to activate a silent bubble around my area to avoid any yelling reaching anyone's ears, except who I was talking to.

Soejammy: YOU DON'T GET TO SAY ANYTHING!!! YOU AND THE OTHERS WRECKED MY HOUSE!!! BE GLAD I'M NOT SUING YOU BACK IN YOUR WORLD!!!

I growled as I glared at Rainbow Dash as I looked her straight into the eye.

Soejammy: Had Twilight not stopped me, we wouldn't be here talking, and you wouldn't be here. I have been trying to make peace and be fair as you five have no way back home except the Princess. Even if she did, I bet you five were given a scroll just in case the Princess didn't come get you after all this time?

Applejack was the next person to come in as she wore her cowboy hat as usual.

Applejack (Call): You knew???

Soejammy: No. Just a feeling. I doubt the Princess would leave everything to chance. Just like I wouldn't. Leaving things to chance is something I rather not do since anything always can happen. If you have the options you can use, do it. Need more time to prepare, wait.

I took a sip of my drink as I just tried to keep myself calm.

Soejammy: Regardless, if the repairs are almost done, it's almost time to head back to Twilight's world.

Rainbow Dash (Call): Finally! I can't wait to get back and just relax.

Soejammy: Clearly someone forgot that I'M going with you all.

Rainbow Dash (Call): WHAT!?

Soejammy: Your Princess has left a sour taste in my mouth. I refuse to leave things like that as I have some things to say to her. And I have 3 conditions: should I let you back to your world.

Rainbow Dash (Call): NOW YOU'RE HOLDING US HOSTAGE!?

Applejack (Call): Rainbow Dash, calm down!

Applejack sighed as she looked at me in the eyes as she was willing to listen.

Soejammy: First, I want to ensure no harm comes to me when I return you all there along with joining you. Second, a personal carriage comes to pick all of us up to go to Canterlot-

Twilight (Call): Why not just teleport to there? I can get us there easily.

Soejammy: I know. I just wanted an excuse to fly in the air. It's so cool. Back on topic. Three, I either request a formal apology from Celestia herself, or I will challenge her to a 1v1 duel against her.

There were some gasps from across the screen as Rainbow Dash smirked at me.

Rainbow Dash (Call): You??? Face off against the Princess!?!?

Rainbow Dash began to laugh as I still held a straight face in being serious.

Applejack (Call): Oh... He's serious.

Rainbow Dash (Call): I know! That's why I'm laughing! This guy??? Against an Alicorn Princess??? Someone get me some popcorn, I want to see this!!

I looked at Rainbow Dash as I crossed my arms as Applejack looked at me dead in the eyes as I spoke.

Soejammy: You have no idea who the hell I am. Your Princess may be an immortal being who has lived over 1000 years in her time, but nothing she has faced is compared to what I have seen and done. I have fought in a war, risked my life for friends and family, rewriting history that should never have happened and fought with every fiber of my body to get to where I am today. If I had all my powers as they were once before, you would be acting differently than how you are right now, Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash (Call): Ha! Until I see that day happening, here I am, laughing at someone like you!

Soejammy: Careful with what you say. It can bite you in your butt any time, any place. If you don't believe me, you will when it happens.

Rainbow Dash (Call): If it does, you'll have me as your personal flier for transport in Equestria ANY TIME you want!

I smirked as I nodded my head at that offer.

Soejammy: That offer has been accepted. I plan to make you eat your words when you see me at my peak one day.

Rainbow Dash (Call): And until that day comes, you will have only your "Stood" or whatever.

Not even trying to correct Rainbow Dash, she began to walk away laughing as Applejack just sighed and looked at me.

Applejack (Call): Sorry about Rainbow there... She really can have a big head on her when she is too confident for her own good.

Soejammy: Trust me, I can tell. But don't worry, I'll be making her eat those words soon enough. If I can figure out how I can access my original power that is... Magic at least...

Twilight and Applejack looked at each other and then looked at me and tilted their heads.

Twilight (Call): You had Magic, Dad? How come you never told me? You said that-

I raised a hand as I looked at Twilight in the eyes.

Soejammy: I know I said that. But that usually is true. In other cases, one can acquire magical power. Just in other forms and methods. For me, I was sucked into another dimension with Kitty during that time. That's how I have Star Platinum.

Applejack (Call): What kind of magic did ya have?

Soejammy: Basically magic that could summon entities or cast elemental spells. Gravity, Air, Time, Fire. You name it. The magic I wielded was beyond anyone could ever hope to achieve in a short time. That's because casting magic requires an imaginative mind. The stronger the imagination, the more powerful the attack was. Boy did I have A LOT of imagination for it. It would put a certain duck to shame. Too bad he isn't here. But wouldn't want me talking about the times I fried him or electrocuted him. Those were the fun times. Oh, even freezing him into a statue! He would have made me want to shut up about now.

Twilight and Applejack looked at me as if confused, but Mini-Nep tugged softly on Twilight's mane to get her attention as she nodded her head about all she witnessed.

Twilight (Call): Wait, you REALLY had magic?

Soejammy: Of course. I dare not lie about it. What I said is true that humans here can't use magic. I never said I LEARNED magic myself.

Applejack thought about it and looked at Twilight.

Applejack (Call): He does have a point. Jammy said that the humans in his world didn't know how to use magic. It didn't quite exclude him from that.

Twilight (Call): Well... That is true. But, how come you never told me?

I looked away as I crossed my arms.

Soejammy: Like I said... I USED to have magic... I don't anymore... It was taken from me along with my blade that gave me the means to cast it... Without it... I can't access that kind of power... I would require a new or temporary source to do that... I don't want to rely on the Darkness... You all saw what happened when I lost control...

Applejack and Twilight shivered when remembering what happened a few weeks ago. Knowing that it was frightening to see, they understood why I don't want to use the Power of Darkness.

Soejammy: If anything... That power is a last resort against a powerful foe and when I'm by myself. I will not use such power against the Princess as I dare not want that happening. But you'll know when I do use it. I'll be trying to get to a safe distance and away from everyone.

Twilight (Call): But, what will happen to you?

I looked at Twilight and then closed my eyes. I dared not look at Twilight what I said next.

Soejammy: If that happens... The Darkness consumes me. Making me into a Shadow of my former self.

Twilight widened her eyes as she gave a worried cry out.

Twilight (Call): NO! DON'T SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!

I flinched when Twilight yelled at me as I looked at her.

Twilight (Call): Don't ever use that again! Promise me you won't use it!

I looked at Twilight as there were some tears in her eyes as I wanted to tease her softly.

Soejammy: But I thought you wanted me to try and control it? What if I'm willing to try?

Twilight (Call): After what happened the last time!? No! After seeing first hand what happens when you lose control, I see why you don't use it! Please don't use it again!

Seeing how Twilight really doesn't want me to use it again, I closed my eyes and looked at her.

Soejammy: You have my word, that I will not use it freely. But I can't say if I'll control it or not should it run amok. But you have my word.

I could see Twilight smile as I saw her nod while I looked at the time.

Soejammy: Dang... How did time go by that fast while I was here talking??? Haaaa... Oh well... My break is almost over. Don't have too much fun without me.

Twilight (Call): We won't. Have a good day, Dad.

I then ended the call as I sighed and had some time left as I tried to write some parts in stories before going back to work for the rest of the day. Once time for me to head home had arrived, I would then head back home as soon as I could.

Location: Soejammy's House

Time: Afternoon - 4:50 p.m.

As soon as I was back home, I then grabbed my stuff and entered the fixed house I saw before me. The hallway was fixed with a new banister. A new carpet for the stairs and upstairs was replaced with new material. Windows were fixed along with some appliances that were repaired.

Soejammy: Ah. That's much better. The house is back to how I first had it. More or less.

But after I tried taking 3 steps in, party fairs and poppers went off as Pinkie Pie jumped out of nowhere!!

Pinkie Pie: ♩Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! A welcome home to you! Welcome, welcome, welcome, I hope you had a nice day~!♩

I stared at Pinkie Pie as I was trying to calm my heart down from the surprise scare I had just witnessed. Getting my bearing again, I stood up and dusted myself off and tried to keep a professional approach while they were here.

Soejammy: Thank you for the... Welcome home song. For the 10th time you've been here after I came home from work... Pinkie...

Pinkie Pie: Hehe~ You're welcome~ So, did you have a nice day? Was there anything fun to do? Did you enjoy the meal I made for you?

I was trying to remember every question Pinkie Pie was trying to say to me as I took a breath.

Soejammy: Somewhat, same old same old, and somewhat as the lunch was mostly just cupcakes. Again...

Pinkie Pie: Don't worry. I can make a cake for you next time. Just got to figure out how you get it in that small box of yours.

Soejammy: Please no cake... I'm still trying to eat the last one you made... And the one before that. And the one before that...

I paled at Pinkie making more cakes as each time she made them, I had to clean the mess up.

Soejammy: Just, let me handle making my lunches. I really appreciate the offer of my lunch being made, but snacks can't be the only thing humans eat. Honestly...

Pinkie Pie: Why not?

Soejammy: Because just eating cupcakes and sweet treats are unhealthy. I may sometimes buy some snacks at times, but there has to be other kinds of food. Eating the same thing again and again will make someone sick.

Pinkie Pie: Oh no! I don't want to do that!

I sighed in explaining that to Pinkie of how a proper food system works.

Soejammy: Now, there can be SOME treats. But there can be salads, fruit and almost anything. But they can't just be anything, no. They have to be at least edible.

Pinkie Pie: I know that. So, you like fruits? What kind?

I began to think as I thought of a few.

Soejammy: Well... I sometimes eat some pears, bananas, pineapples -though I detest them on pizza-, and apples on some occasions.

???: Did some pony say they liked apples?

Getting jumpscared again, I spun around quickly to see Applejack had gotten behind me.

Soejammy: When did you get there!?

Applejack: While Pinkie was talkin' to ya.

Soejammy: Fair enough.

Applejack: So, you like apples too, huh?

Soejammy: I will admit they are tasty. But I mainly like cutting them up into slices and eating them. Oh, there is also applesauce. That's always tasty.

As I kept trying to think, I looked at Applejack as she just stared at me.

Soejammy: Did... Did I say something wrong?

Applejack: Huh? No! No. Just surprised you like apples too.

Soejammy: Well, it is a food in my world too. So, I wouldn't see why apples wouldn't be a thing to like.

Applejack: Huh. That's neat to know.

I heard screaming coming from upstairs as I rushed up to look around.

Soejammy: Okay! Give me a minute! I am trying to do my best in talking to everyone here, what is going on now that there is-!?

When I got to the source, I went into the jewelry room where Rarity was as I looked to see a bunch of my mom's tacky jewelry on the floor, in the air, on the wall- Let's just say... THE WHOLE ROOM WAS FLOATING WITH JEWELRY!!

Soejammy: Rarity!

Rarity: Oh, hello! When did you get home?

Soejammy: 10 minutes ago! What the hell is this?!

Rarity: Oh my, sorry about this. I just seemed to like the jewelry in this room. I do say it looks fabulous~!

I blinked my eyes in silence as I looked at Rarity as she had to be crazy.

Soejammy: You don't mean that... Right?

Rarity: Of course I do! Look at these designs! They're absolutely marvelous!

I blinked some more as I never thought I would see someone crazy as this over $5 jewelry that is from another business my mom is part of.

Soejammy: Well... I wasn't expecting jewelry to be that unique...

Rarity: Are you kidding!? These would look fantastic on my designs! How much do you want for them?

Soejammy: Um... Sorry... What?

Rarity: How much per piece do you want for them?

I looked at Rarity as I sighed.

Soejammy: Rarity, I can't just give you them.

Rarity: I'm offering good money for them. Why can't you?

Soejammy: They don't even belong to me, they're part of my mom's business. And I don't think your currency would make her happy since your currency is quite different from us...

Rarity: What do you mean?

I sighed as I got my wallet out and showed Rarity the money we use in our world.

Soejammy: Our money comes in the form of dollar bills and coins. Every continent around the world has a different currency.

Rarity: Oh! I must have at least some of them! Can't you please help a girl out!?

I looked at Rarity as I knew she was Twilight's friend as I sighed and got some money out.

Soejammy: Okay... Okay... But you can only choose 10 for right now. I don't get paid until next week, but I can cover the cost for $50 worth of what we have here...

Rarity: Oh! You're the best!

I sighed as I watched Rarity look around for any jewelry that she wanted as she ONLY needs to pick 10. I would not go higher if I didn't think I could. After all... I am trying to feed many people in my house right now...

Twilight: Dad? Dad?? You home?

Soejammy: Yes. Yes, Twilight. I'm home...

Twilight came up to the jewelry room as she saw the chaos I had to see when I first came in here.

Twilight: What the heck is going on here???

Soejammy: That's what I first thought when I saw this.

Rarity: Oh! Haven't you seen all this stuff Twilight??? Your friend is being such a kind sweet heart that he-

Twilight: Dad.

Rarity: Pardon?

Twilight looked at Rarity as she sighed.

Twilight: I told you and the others before. He's not my friend, he's my Dad.

Rarity: But he-

Soejammy: Hey. I don't judge you when you do stuff. Don't judge who I am to Twilight either.

Twilight: Not only that, but with how long Princess Celestia has been taking to get you all back home, he's been kind to let all of you stay here.

Soejammy: I rather NOT have had people who destroyed my home stay. But considering Twilight didn't want me to kick you all out, I turned a blind eye under one condition that you all helped fix this house. Not only that, but I'm even LETTING you take what you want out of kindness in knowing I had money to pay for you.

Rarity bit her lip as I had crossed my arms in being slightly annoyed. Some of the others didn't see me as Twilight's father, but Applejack and Pinkie were more welcoming to give me a chance. Fluttershy is still nervous being in our world due to how different it is, but Twilight and Mini-Nep are trying their best to help her. Even Eevee is keeping Fluttershy calm as she can be. Rainbow Dash still has resentment over what happened. I don't blame her. After all, not only did I escape from her once, I was beating the crap out of her when I lost control of my Darkness powers. Rarity though... She just needs to learn that I'm Twilight's father, whether she or someone else doesn't like it. I would call her out on something that is commonly known here, but considering these are cartoon ponies from a children's cartoon show with many admires for the series... I can't quite say that.

Soejammy: I can understand why it seems weird to you, Rarity. But I have been taking care of Twilight and making sure she feels welcome here. I'm even doing all I can to make you and the others comfortable. My generosity to help you all isn't something to be taken for granted. Nor should my kindness.

I turned to walk out of the room as I stopped to turn back to Rarity.

Soejammy: You should get out of this room.

Rarity: But I just-!

I glared at Rarity as I pointed out of the room. Rarity hung her head and began to walk out of the room, but not before catching a piece of jewelry and carefully pulling it out. Once Rarity was out of ear shot and looked at Twilight.

Twilight: I'm... Sorry about Rarity, Dad...

Soejammy: It's okay. I figured something like this would happen. All I want is the acknowledgement of being your father.

Twilight: And you are my father! I just...

Twilight seemed nervous as I gave her a head pat crouched down to hug her.

Soejammy: Everything is okay. I know you see me as your Dad. I know you have your real family back in your world. I'm just... scared of myself as I want to be a good father... Like... Am I even doing anything right? Am I doing things okay...? I'm just... Hoping I can do something...

Twilight hugged me back as she held onto me.

Twilight: And you do! You've done so much while being here for me! Even if it seems not too long ago I regained my memories-

Soejammy: A month or so perhaps. Possibly 2 months.

Twilight: Point is, you have done so much for me! You fed me, kept me safe, made sure to protect me when I got too curious and saved my life! I know any parent would do anything for your child, and because of events that led up to this, I don't mind having a Dad away from home.

I widened my eyes as I felt them begin to well up with tears as I hugged Twilight more and held her. It was something I needed to hear to stay strong to what I believe.

Soejammy: Thank you, Twilight.

I began to calm myself down to not show I was about to cry as Twilight smiled at me.

Twilight: Others might not see it, but you ARE my dad to me.

It was very touching to hear that from Twilight as she began to get out of the hug.

Twilight: So, repairs on the house are almost done. I've been trying to use my repair spell to do what I can, but this world makes it tougher to cast spells due to the lack of it. Making my spells weaker and needing longer to rest for some reason.

Soejammy: Makes sense... You're not in your world and if you don't use magic for a while, you're able to have a chance to do more magic.

Twilight: Yeah... We have been only using my magic during certain stuff, continuous use of it seems to be the key factor as I can't recover faster.

Soejammy: Then we would need you to be back home to recover faster, otherwise, you can't defend yourself here.

Twilight: Dad, I'm fine! Look, I'm not pushing myself to try and make things the way they were before. Not everything has to go according to plan. We get there when we get there. I'm not rushing, nor am I worrying over small stuff like this. If it was a regular basis, then I would.

Soejammy: Heh. You're just like Kitty when we were adventuring together. The worry part, but it is one of her many charms.

I chuckled as I leaned against a wall in the room as Twilight sat next to me.

Twilight: What exactly did happen on your adventure? How did you two get together? I know I saw her a couple of times when you two talked to each other or with a friend. Sometimes I hear you laughing your head off with each other.

Soejammy: We're just like that to a default. So, what did you want to know more about that adventure?

Twilight: I want to know more about the part when you were in this place called... "Agrabah"?

Soejammy: Ha! Don't get me started on that one! It was one of the CRAZIEST we've been to, if not the most fun since I was there with my brother! Hahahahaha!!! Not to mention I drove my girlfriend there NUTS! Bonus!! Uh, just don't say that to her the next time you see her, she will claw my face off...!

Twilight looked at me as if I was crazy for this talk.

Twilight: It possibly can't be any crazier than Wonderland that you told me about. The shocking part was my sister growing in size and transforming.

Soejammy: Oh no, your sister can transform and fly, she just has no reason to do that. Mini-Nep just wants to relax because of the adventure she was part of.

Twilight: She can???

Soejammy: Yeah. Mini-Nep is just like the Nep we know in every way. Only that Mini-Nep is more controllable than her life-sized counterpart.

Hearing a drawer sliding out, I looked to see Neptune poking her head out of it and looking at me. Wait... When did she get in there!?

Neptune: I'll have you know that I am responsible!!

Soejammy: Responsible my butt!!! Name one political thing you've done that wasn't forced to do by Histoire.

Neptune began trying to think as she was struggling.

Soejammy: Furthermore, why are you in a dresser!?

Pinkie Pie's head came out as well as she looked at me and laughed.

Soejammy: WHY ARE YOU IN THERE TOO, PINKIE!?

Pinkie Pie: Because she was hanging out with me as I was showing her the hiding spots I am able to hide at. Once I showed Neptune some of them, she can hide almost anywhere in this house.

Neptune: We're best friends now~

Soejammy: But you were attacked by her just a few weeks ago!!

Pinkie and Neptune: We're over that now. We're besties~!

Soejammy: WILL YOU TWO GET OUT OF THERE!?

Pinkie and Neptune looked at me and shrugged.

Pinkie Pie: Okay. We were just done anyway. Want to go try some cherrychanga?

Neptune: You know, I always wanted to make a puddingchanga~

Pinkie Pie: OOOOOOO~!! I ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE THAT!!

Neptune: LET'S GO!!! TO THE KITCHEN!!!

I watched Pinkie and Neptune go into the dresser as I quickly looked inside and saw that they were gone!!!

Soejammy: HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?

Twilight: You try dealing with Pinkie's craziness and figure it out. All I know is that Pinkie just breaks the laws of known physics.

Soejammy: Ugh... I hate this a lot...

Twilight: Let's move on from Pinkie and Neptune. What was Agrabah like?

Soejammy: It was hot. I tried fighting against the heat as I hate hot temperatures. But during that time, I was able to meet the person closest to me as a brother, Nintega during my adventure.

Twilight: Yeah! I remember you talking to him, if not hearing his name when talking to him.

Soejammy: Trust me, if you want a serious me, DON'T have that fool near me. Because we went insane during this adventure with our own chaos.

Twilight: How chaotic are we talking about...?

Soejammy: One where we caused a genocide to Heartless, flatten them with boulders, had ringing phones during a fight, and broke our backs when trying to commit a curse of sands. But I still call it a normal adventure if anything.

Twilight looked at me with surprise, shock and just questioning if I was sane in the head.

Twilight: How are you not dead...?

Soejammy: Funny fact, Jafar ASKED that same question before he wished himself to be a Genie and then getting sucked into his own lamp.

Twilight just rubbed her face and sighed.

Twilight: You know what, I'll just take that as I know you tend to do crazy things a lot, but to keep a note to never have you anywhere near your brother...

Soejammy: Well, that would make him your uncle if he is my brother and I'm your father.

Twilight: Then does that make your girlfriend my mother then?

I heard that question being asked, as I was shocked to hear that coming out of Twilight's mouth as my heart began to race along with blushing.

Soejammy: We haven't even made it to that kind of thinking yet!! I mean, if I did I would be thinking of that- BUT! Marriage is a very serious thing to even consider!!! WHY ARE YOU LETTING ME RAMBLE ON LIKE THIS!?

Twilight looked at me and blinked as she just smiled at all that happened.

Twilight: You love your girlfriend enough that you would marry her.

I began to blush so hard that I felt like steam was coming off my face as I turned away.

Soejammy: B-Be quiet.

Twilight: I won't, Dad.

Soejammy: Twilight, stop the teasing.

Twilight: Then you have to make me~

I looked at Twilight as she was smirking at the teasing she was doing as I tried to pounce on her, but sadly, she teleported away before I could.

Soejammy: Hey! Teleporting is cheating!

Hearing Twilight's voice, it seemed to come downstairs.

Twilight: So is stopping time! But you don't seem to care!!

Soejammy: Stopping time was for serious battles or situations!!

Twilight: And you trying to make me shut up was a serious situation for me~!

Soejammy: THAT IS NOT THE SAME!!! DO NOT GO SPREADING AROUND WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT!!!

As I heard silence, I felt dread crawling up my back on this one.

Soejammy: Twilight, don't you dare young lady!!

Twilight: Then you have to catch me~

Soejammy: TWILIGHT!!!

The whole afternoon was spent chasing Twilight around while looking like a fool in front of Twilight's friends as I played "Teleport and seek" with Twilight.

Later...

Time: Night - 10:00 p.m.

It was late at night as I was just sitting at the table in the dining room as I was at my laptop hearing laughter from Nintega. I was on a call with him and Kitty as they were both laughing about what happened today.

Nintega (Call): I can't believe Twilight did that to ya!! HAHAHAHA!!!

Kitty (Call): I know Twi was studious and loves learning new things, but I guess she's been learning from Pinkie on how to annoy you! Hahahahaha!!!

I rolled my eyes as I looked at Kitty, my girlfriend.

Soejammy: Ha, ha, ha... And I don't even think she learned from Pinkie. It might have to do with how she grew up as she seems to have learned the chaos from Neptune and myself. Maybe a little from Mini-Nep. Not sure really.

Kitty and Nintega looked at each other, both seeming to be on the same side for once as they looked at me.

Kitty and Nintega (Call): Oh it's from you alright.

Nintega (Call): You are chaos incarnate!

Kitty (Call): And coming from your partner in crime, that's saying A LOT!

I wanted to say something other than what they said, but I really couldn't as I did many crazy things during that adventure.

Soejammy: Could you blame me for how many times I almost went crazy trying to be crazy and diverting bad thoughts about the adventure to me???

Kitty (Call): That was you TRYING to be crazy? Could have fooled me. Fooled Donald for sure though.

Soejammy: Why does everyone here assume I'm such a crazy man! I act crazy to hide my existential crisis to not focus on destruction and turmoil! Even though I was happy, it was all to keep me from panicking, remember??? Back on Tarzan's world, Kitty???

Kitty went silent at this as she was looking back on the memories of that world.

Kitty (Call): When you could have LOST YOURSELF to the darkness and killed Sabor, and everyone was pretty terrified for their lives?!

It was my turn to go silent and look away. I even scare myself with how deep my anger can run.

Soejammy: But I didn't... Yet at least...

Nintega (Call): At least you haven't since then, am I right?

I bit my lip as I looked to the side feeling nervous about what Nintega just said. In truth, this was my first call in a while and they didn't know what was going on as I was too busy to call or text them. Nintega, being able to pick up on signs easily like this, noticed my reaction as his eyes widened.

Nintega (Call): You didn't! You used the darkness?! Lost control???

Soejammy: It wasn't my fault! A lot of things happened where Twilight was sick and having to go to her world for help, the Mane 5 coming here while I was gone to check Twilight's world and being held up by Celestia attacking me, Twilight almost losing her life to Timberwolves and her magic breaking the seal of my Darkness on me!

I took a deep breath as I tried to calm myself down.

Soejammy: There was a LOT you missed and I didn't know how to explain it all.

Both Nintega and Kitty could only look shocked at what happened, not even sure what to say.

Soejammy: Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The Mane 5 kidnaps not just Twilight, but Mini-Nep and Eevee, while even hurting the CPUs AND destroying my house... All of the rage I was feeling made me lose my composure and sanity to be a being of Darkness to hunt my enemies. If Twilight didn't stop me... I...

Kitty (Call): Hey, it's okay Angel! Please don't worry about it! Twilight may have been able to stop you, but that also shows that you don't just attack anyone in your rage, right? If you had absolutely no control, you would have attacked her as well as Mini-Nep and Eevee.

Soejammy: I... I guess... But what if I lose control again??? What IF I hurt someone close to me...? I... I don't...

???: Now listen here, ya dang night owl.

I nearly jumped out of my seat as I turned around fast as I looked to see it was Applejack who was currently tired.

Applejack: Who are ya talkin' to this late??? I don't see any pony around.

Soejammy: They're... Not here in person, they're on the computer I have.

Applejack: Who could you be talkin' to this darn late?

Soejammy: My best friend who is like a brother to me, and my girlfriend.

Applejack: O-Oh! I apologize.

I sighed as I looked back at the laptop to see the surprised looks on Kitty and Nintega.

Kitty (Call): Is that Applejack?

Nintega (Call): Wow. They really are there. Now I'm jealous.

Soejammy: Of course you would, you yellow menace.

Nintega (Call): WHY AM I A MENACE!?

Soejammy: Because you're my brother.

Nintega (Call): HOW RUDE!!!

Kitty was just laughing as she was enjoying both Nintega and I bickering at each other as Applejack approached the camera.

Applejack: I'll never get used to talkin' to some pony like this. But when you have to compromise, you gotta do that.

Soejammy: Wiser words could not have been said better than that.

Applejack: Okay, so, which person is who here?

Nintega (Call): I'm Nintega. It's nice to meet you. I'm this lug of bolts' brother.

Soejammy: You mean the pain in my back side.

Nintega (Call): Why do you say that to me!?

Soejammy: Because I'm the older brother here~

I was chuckling as Nintega groaned in his dismay as Kitty went next.

Kitty (Call): Hello Applejack. I'm this doofus' girlfriend as you can tell.

Applejack: Why do you call him a "doofus"?

Kitty (Call): If you saw the stuff he did to drive me and some friends nuts, you would be thinking he is CRAZY!

Applejack: Please tell me he isn't like Pinkie... We already deal with Pinkie enough as is...

Kitty (Call): Oh no, he's calm when he wants to be. Other times is messing with his friends.

I banged my head on the table as I just looked Kitty in the eyes.

Soejammy: That's not helping!

Kitty (Call): Never said it was going to help. But I've always been told to tell the truth. And YOU have been teaching me how to say how I feel to help with my emotions~

I felt a steaming reaction of both a blush and betrayal of my love when Kitty said that.

Soejammy: Et tu, Kitty. Et tu.

Kitty (Call): I did not betray you at all! But a nice Genie reference.

Soejammy: That quote came from Caesar. When he was killed by his subjects AND Brutus?

Kitty just stared as I just left that as that. Nintega was the first to pick up the talk and ask Applejack something.

Nintega (Call): So, how does it feel to be living with the guy that kidnapped Twilight?

Soejammy: BRO!!

Nintega (Call): I'm joking! I'm joking!!

Kitty (Call): You really are a pain in Jammy's backside... It's truly official, you're the annoying little brother.

Nintega just shrugged and laughed at the awkwardness he made.

Nintega (Call): Doesn't matter, Beat would have done it and if he was here, would have said something FAR worse...

Kitty and I both looked at each other, fear in our eyes at imagining what could have happened if Beat really was here. At least Beat isn't in this group chat... That was, until I heard the doorbell ringing fast.

Soejammy: Now what!? Who could be at the door at 10:30 at night!?

I began to head for the door as I was about to yell at whoever, but then suddenly stopped when I saw it was who we were talking about.

Soejammy: WHY ARE YOU RINGING MY DOORBELL AT 10:30 AT NIGHT, BEAT!?

The puny Sayian Monkey looked at me and smiled sheepishly as he looked me in the eyes.

Beat: Mind if I stay for a while...? Um... Just needing a place to chill for a bit.

I looked at Beat as I then crossed my arms and looked at him dead in the eyes.

Soejammy: You ate another one of Fu's crystals again... Didn't you?

Beat froze up and looked away as he chuckled nervously.

Beat: Whaaaaaaat??? Nooooooo. I would never do thaaaaaaaat.

Soejammy: Beat, you're terrible at poker, and you are a terrible liar.

Beat made a shocked expression as he looked at me.

Beat: B-But I don't even PLAY poker!!!

Soejammy: Which is why I'm telling you this so you don't waste your money.

Beat: But- I- That's-!!

Soejammy: I'm losing patience here, Beat. What did you want?

I stared at Beat as he looked back at me and chuckled.

Beat: I need to hide for a bit away from Conton City. Some of it is because I ate Fu's food.

Soejammy: Not food, a crystal from the DEMON REALM. Seriously, one of these days, you're going to get someone hurt because of that thing.

Beat: But they're so tasty!!

In response to that, I chopped Beat in the head with a book I had secretly prepared on the door to "teach" a lesson. The impact left Beat collapsing to the ground along with him seeing stars.

Soejammy: Hit the books, Beat. And I don't mean LITERALLY hit them. I mean, open a damn book and study what you're eating. Idiot.

I was about to shut the door when Applejack came through.

Applejack: Now who is this you're talkin' too?

Soejammy: Please don't mind him. He's just an idiot.

I heard growling as I looked back and saw Beat get up looking angrily at me.

Beat: What did I do to deserve a book hit!?

Soejammy: Considering we TELL you not to eat those crystals, you do it REGARDLESS!!

Applejack: I am so confused right now...

I sighed as I pinched my nose and looked at Applejack.

Soejammy: Applejack, meet Beat... He may look just like me, but I can assure you, he is not like me at all.

Beat: Hey! I can hear you!!

Soejammy: One big difference though is that he has powers, I don't. Other than the Star Platinum, but that's really all right now.

Applejack looked at me as if I was pulling her leg as I looked back at her.

Soejammy: I'm being serious here!

Applejack: Right.

Beat: So, can I stay here?

Soejammy: Ugh... Beat.

Beat: Ye-

Soejammy: GO HOME!

Beat looked at me and threw his arms up and began to stomp off.

Beat: Pffft! WhatlamepeopleIhavetodealwith! Iaskforonethingandthishappens! Lame!!

After talking frantically, Beat then takes off into the sky and leaves Applejack with her mouth wide open from flying with no wings. Right before I was going to say something, Applejack recomposed herself while I was smirking.

Applejack: Not one word from you about this.

Soejammy: But-

Applejack: Shut it.

Soejammy: That was-

Applejack: Nope!

As we headed back inside, I was still trying to talk with Applejack, dejecting everything I did while I smirked doing this. We kept this up until I was able to get back to my friends and just laughed a bit more before it was time for myself to head to bed. With how crazy today was, I never got to talk to any of the other ponies here after I got home. With having the weekend for more attempts, I decided to say goodnight to my friends and head to bed for the night.

Date: February 11th, 2023 - Saturday

Time: Morning - 8:00 a.m.

I groaned as the morning sun hit my eyes as I tried to do some writing before I went to sleep. I pulled the covers up more as I really didn't want to get up yet. I then felt the covers being pulled off slightly as I pulled them back up. They were pulled on again as I groaned to pull them back up.

Soejammy: Stop it... Let me sleep...

The covers kept being pulled down as I was getting visibly annoyed as I stopped time to get up and look to see it was Rainbow Dash, once AGAIN, messing with me. I then walked over to where she was and picked her up with Star Platinum before time resumed once more. Rainbow Dash was startled from the sudden realization she was in the air.

Rainbow Dash: Hey! Put me down!

Soejammy: Says the pony who was pulling my covers down when I was trying to sleep.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, but this is funny.

I then brought Rainbow Dash closer as I looked into her eyes.

Soejammy: Do I look like I'm laughing from the lack of sleep?

Rainbow Dash looked carefully as she then spoke.

Rainbow Dash: If you curled your lips up more and then gave some laughs, then sure!

I looked at Rainbow Dash as I then stopped time once more and walked downstairs to the second floor and put her down softly before heading back up. Time resumed again as Rainbow Dash gasped from the sudden movement again.

Rainbow Dash: Stop that! It isn't funny when you do that!

Soejammy: "If you curve your lips up more and then give some laughs, then sure!"

Rainbow Dash: Hey! Don't use what I say against me!!

Soejammy: Can, and will do that.

As I was about to go back to my bed, Rainbow Dash quickly flew up the stairs and looked me in the eyes.

Rainbow Dash: And what have you even done??? All you do is sleep in!!

Soejammy: I'm tired, exhausted and wiped from work and my personal hobbies.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, unlike us, we have so much more energy than you.

I looked at Rainbow Dash as I stared at her in the eyes.

Soejammy: In what way?

Rainbow Dash: I'm calling you old.

Soejammy: I'm an adult! I'm not even growing gray hair yet!

Rainbow Dash held a hoof to her ear as she pretended like she didn't hear me.

Rainbow Dash: What was that? I couldn't quite hear you~

I stared at Rainbow Dash as I began to head downstairs away from her.

Soejammy: I'm not going to take being insulted in my own home by you. Be thankful Twilight even LET you stay in the house and not the garage. Not to mention with me trying to make sure you're all fed well enough under Twilight's worry. If anything, you're making things worse for yourself.

Rainbow Dash: Excuse me!?

Getting around me in the hallway, Rainbow Dash looked me in the eyes.

Rainbow Dash: Are you saying I couldn't survive here on my own!?

Soejammy: That is EXACTLY what I'm saying.

Rainbow Dash: Just because you say that, that doesn't mean-

Soejammy: ENOUGH!!!

I raised my voice as I looked at Rainbow Dash directly in the eyes as I struggled to control my anger.

Soejammy: I have been trying to deal with how you act! You are reckless, careless, stubborn, hard headed, being judgmental, rude, inappropriate, and most of all - You HATE me being Twilight's Father!!!

Rainbow Dash: Because you're not!!

Soejammy: You don't know what you're talking about!!

Rainbow Dash: Oh rich. That coming from the guy that almost killed us in that forest.

Soejammy: That's because you KIDNAPPED Twilight, Mini-Nep and Eevee, ATTACKED my friends, and TRASHED MY HOUSE!! Of course I would be angry enough for that to happen!! And during that time, the others saw you RUNNING from me!! For the first time in your life, YOU were scared!!!

As if setting Rainbow Dash off, she rammed herself into me as she took a cheap shot while my guard was down!

Rainbow Dash: WANT TO SAY THAT AGAIN!? SAY THAT TO ME AGAIN!! I'M NOT SCARED OF ANYTHING!!!

I held my stomach as I heard some clamor coming up the stairs as Rainbow Dash was just glaring at me.

Twilight: Rainbow Dash! What are you doing!?

Rainbow Dash: He insulted me!!

Applejack: I have very little belief in that statement...

Rainbow Dash: Well he did!!

Soejammy: Only because of what you did in my world during your first time here! You didn't even try listening to reason and just went all warmonger mode to just come in and "rescue" Twilight!!

Rainbow Dash: Could you blame us for being suspicious!? You RAN away from-

Soejammy: Only because you all began to ACCUSE me of kidnapping Twilight! What was I supposed to do!? At that time, Twilight was sick!!! I was helping her!!!

Rainbow Dash was about to attack me again, when Twilight got in the way.

Twilight: He's telling the truth! He went to get help from Zecora as I even confirmed this with the others on what he was planning to do!

I then saw Mini-Nep jump from somewhere from behind the corner as I see her stand on top of Twilight's horn and point at Rainbow Dash.

Mini-Nep: Nepu nep! Neppy nep nep Ne-pu Nep! Neppity nep nep nep, Nepu nep neppy!!!

Rainbow Dash just looked at Mini-Nep as I had a tear in my eye for my smallest daughter defending me.

Rainbow Dash: Uh, yeah... Can you please leave? The ADULTS are talking.

As if feeling some glass shatter in hearing Rainbow Dash saying that, I began to ball my hand into a fist as I got up and got in front of Rainbow Dash's face and pointed at her snout.

Soejammy: DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO MY DAUGHTER LIKE THAT!! DO YOU HEAR ME!? You can disrespect me all you want, but you will NEVER talk like that to my daughter!!! DO! I! MAKE! MYSELF! CLEAR!!!

Rainbow Dash looked at me and lowered my hand as she smirked.

Rainbow Dash: Then she needs to grow a FEW more feet before she does~

Feeling all my nerves being pressed, I wanted to hit Rainbow Dash with all my might for insulting my daughter like that as I felt two tiny feet on my shoulder and pull on my cheek. I looked to see it was Mini-Nep as I was nearly about to lose my temper. Rainbow Dash has been complaining about this world the entire time she has been here as I made it so they can't wonder about it. It was for their safety as they don't know anything. But Rainbow Dash thinks she can survive here??? I hardly think that.

Mini-Nep: Nepu! Nep nep nep!

Soejammy: You see how she acts! How am I supposed to keep my cool when this blueberry pony insults my family!?

Rainbow Dash: "BLUEBERRY"!? I AM NOT EVEN THAT COLOR!!!

Mini-Nep: Neppity nep! Nepu nep, neppy... Nep nep nep!!!

I groaned as I really just wanted to punch this pony for all the insulting things she has done to make me mad. But if we went back to Equestria, Rainbow Dash would have evidence to tell Celestia to take Twilight away from me. I groaned as I balled my hand into a fist as I looked at Rainbow Dash.

Soejammy: No more warnings. Do I make myself clear???

Rainbow Dash: Oooooo~ I'm SOOOOOOO SCARED~! What warnings do you think you have over me, chump?

I looked at Rainbow Dash as I glared into her soul as she looked back.

Soejammy: If you continue to anger me, not even your friends will keep you safe from what I am capable of. Know that you're still here because THEY wished for it. I would like nothing more than to kick you out of this house for how you've been acting. The only thing keeping you here is THEM. If anything happens here on out, they TRIED to warn you. Like how you usually are, you won't listen NOR do you think with that tiny brain of yours.

I then felt another strong hit from Rainbow Dash as I got her to attack me again on purpose to make her friends see me getting hurt as Mini-Nep was levitated back to Twilight's mane to hold on to as I rubbed my cheek from the hoof punch.

Rainbow Dash: I'M GETTING SO SICK OF YOU!! LET US GO HOME ALREADY!!!

Applejack: RAINBOW DASH!

Rainbow Dash: WHAT!?

I was on the floor as there was a noticeable hoof mark on my face from how hard she punched me. Fluttershy came over to see if I was okay with Eevee nuzzling up to me from the attack I had received. Rarity quickly thought to get a rag with some medicine to try and help with the pain as my head was very dizzy.

Applejack: How can you STILL be this hard headed after what happened!?

Rainbow Dash: Because he isn't like US!! Look at him!!

Soejammy: Oh yeah, rich coming from the Princess of judging looks rather than personalities. You should write a book on how to judge someone how they look. Oh, wait, my world already has that sort of stuff and that's what you're doing right now.

Rainbow Dash: But out of this!!

Applejack: Rainbow, you need to stop this.

Rainbow Dash: Why!?

Twilight: First off. What you're doing is being very rude.

Twilight took a step forward and looked Rainbow Dash in the eyes.

Twilight: My dad let you and the others in so that you have someplace warm, comfortable and food to live here.

Rainbow Dash: That doesn't mean-

Twilight: I AM TALKING! BE QUIET!!

Rainbow Dash flinched in being yelled at by Twilight as she continued what she wanted to say.

Twilight: My dad has been TRYING to earn all the respect of every pony here as to get to know them! Pinkie Pie made friends with Neptune, Mini-Nep and Eevee try to welcome Fluttershy after what happened, Rarity working with clothes that she never seen before to help with her inspirations, and Applejack has been hard working trying to fix the place ALL of you wrecked!! This isn't just my Dad's home! This is OUR HOME!! And if you don't like it, I can just tell Dad to open a portal and send you back through!

Rainbow Dash: Why are you getting mad at me!?

Twilight: Because all you've done here is make my Dad uncomfortable and push him around!!!

Rainbow Dash: Well, that's because-

Twilight: Because of what? "Kidnapping" me?

Rainbow Dash: No! Beating us up in that for-

Twilight: For the last time! He was out of control because he told me he has a hard time controlling the Darkness when his emotions run rampant!!

Rainbow Dash then pointed towards me as some instances of Darkness were trying to escape from being worked up earlier.

Rainbow Dash: Then why is he still in control then!?

Soejammy: You think, controlling this power I have is easy...?

I first began saying as I got up and walked up to Rainbow Dash.

Soejammy: This power may have saved my friends and family, but if not careful, it can hurt them and even hurt me. Just struggling to stay in control is the hardest thing for me. You think I wouldn't want to get rid of it? Trust me, I do. You have no IDEA, how much I want this to go away after the many times I lost control of this power. It hurts... I used to have control over it, but with how much I lost training in it... It's a constant struggle, to not lose it and release the power... Only to lose control and destroy anything in my path...

Applejack: What are you talkin' about? You didn't lose control one bit.

I looked at Applejack as I was deeply confused.

Soejammy: No, I did. I know I did...

Twilight: No, Applejack is right.

I then looked at Twilight as she approached me.

Twilight: Sure, you were going after any pony that was around while you were in a berserk state. But there was one thing I do know.

Twilight then hugged me as Mini-Nep then jumped up to latch herself onto my cheek. Eevee just nuzzled herself against my leg to show her affection too.

Twilight: If you really lost control, you wouldn't have stopped in your tracks when we defended my friends from your attacks. You stopped yourself from hurting us. That's what Applejack is trying to say.

Applejack: That is what I'm sayin'.

Twilight: It might seem impossible for now, but from what I heard, you didn't intend for this power to hurt people. You wanted it to be something to control and act as a way to save others. Maybe you have done it before, but that doesn't mean you can't control it again, right?

Soejammy: I mean... It's a thought... I never once thought to use it again until after what happened with the Timberwolves... My power was sealed for a reason... Fear of going out of control, fear of what I'm capable of, fear of the knowledge I have...

I wanted to look away, because I was scared of even myself losing control when I had those cursed beads around my neck during that time.

Twilight: But that fear is what makes YOU afraid of yourself. You are letting others decide what you are capable of, but they're wrong about you. It's because you're wanting to keep yourself in check is what allows you to have some control over this power you have...

Popping her head out of a room, Pinkie Pie was sticking herself out sideways to look at me.

Pinkie Pie: She's right. If you really wanted to hurt every pony in the forest, you would have done it without hesitation. And let me tell you, that would have been a VERY messy situation if Twilight couldn't-

Applejack: Pinkie, I think we get the idea.

Pinkie Pie: Okay. Hey, Neptune, want to try diving into this mirror?

Neptune: Ooooo~ I always wanted to do that~

We then watched Pinkie and Neptune dive to the mirror that was in front of my stairs as both of them went clean through it. By that, I mean not breaking the glass, but LITERALLY going into the mirror.

Soejammy: And here I thought things couldn't get weirder here...

Applejack: With Pinkie Pie?

Soejammy: No, with Neptune added into the mix... Still can't get over this newfound friendship with her and Pinkie... I respect their friendship, I can't understand their new limit for crazy...

Rarity: That's fair enough. Usually Pinkie isn't this... Well, she's actually more hyper after recently...

Soejammy: My point being made clear, thank you, Rarity.

I sighed as I looked at Rainbow Dash.

Soejammy: Call me what you want. But even if you look down on me, I will always try to defend you. Fights cannot be won when emotions are taking control. Be glad you aren't seeing me in my angriest state.

Rainbow Dash was about to say something, when the doorbell rang. I found it odd for someone to come on a Saturday as I don't normally order stuff nor wish people to ring my doorbell.

Soejammy: Twilight, get the others, even Pinkie and Neptune to hide in the lab I showed you.

Twilight: You mean-?

Soejammy: Yes. Go. I'll explain to them later about it. Just go!

Twilight nodded her head as she began to try and call towards Pinkie and Neptune in the mirror while I began to head downstairs. I placed my fingers to my ear to communicate with "I." It was a new ear piece to allow "I" to communicate with me directly when I needed it and secretly.

Soejammy: "I", do you read me?

I (Communicator): I do, you have someone at the door.

Soejammy: Thank you for the obvious answer. Is the contact lens I requested ready for use?

I (Communicator): It is. It's perfectly synched up to send data you see back to me, along with keeping itself concealed by keeping to your eye color. Talk about poor planning those people did.

Soejammy: Ah, you mean from the movie The Paycheck? Yeah, that is really good thinking.

I (Communicator): I was thinking more Mission Impossible to scan stuff. In my opinion, the villains in Paycheck did many things wrong to make sure the protagonist didn't survive. They had the resources, but hardly did anything. Not to mention with cheap contacts that failed to stick to where you look and not move itself. Making the perfect disguise fail in that movie. This contact lens I made shouldn't move on you at all.

Soejammy: I got it. I'll put it on before meeting this person. This should help get rid of any forgeries just in case.

I (Communications): Just be careful. My cameras are hazy for some reason when trying to look at the person. I can't even see the guy's face...

Hearing that from my assistant, I was even more alarmed than ever. I then put the contact in as a digital on-screen computer was now with me at all times for AR augmentation to use on the go. I looked at myself in the mirror as it ran through a database to show my profile in the system. I took a deep breath as I hoped Twilight and the others had made it to the lab. I calmed my nerves as I opened the door to the porch and then to the outside. A man in a buttoned up long coat smiled when seeing me. He wore a hat, but nothing else I could tell was off.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

???: Excuse me, are you the owner of this house~?

Soejammy: I am. Why are you asking?

Presenting a paper, it was a document for house inspections.

???: I'm with the city officials as we are doing a round check on all homes to ensure they're up to date. If you would be so kind to let me in, I can-

Soejammy: No thank you.

I immediately say as I hand the guy his paperwork back. He looked at me in surprise as I spoke back.

Soejammy: I do not wish for you to enter. I do not believe what is going on to be true. I request you show me the legitimacy of this action. Even signatures of house residents to ensure of-

???: Ah, I knew you would ask that sir, that is why I kept a documentation of everyone we have seen so far. I hope this is enough to suffice?

I was handed a document of the houses in the area as some were the houses nearby and down the street where I was. It felt suspicious that I was the last one on the list though as I handed the man his documents back.

Soejammy: Sorry, but I need some further evidence. Maybe some ID?

The man was hesitant as he began to reach for his wallet and pull out an idea and another document. I got a good look at the document as it was a documentation of orders to inspect houses in the area along with a seal of approval. I looked at the ID that read the name of Lawrence Nocturne, a 30 year-old male with blond hair and the same face as the guy I see before me.

Soejammy: Let me think about this first before I let you in.

I tried to close the door, but the guy put his foot in as he gave me a look.

Lawrence: I hope it isn't too much, but I'm on a tight schedule, I would like to get this done sometime today.

I looked at Lawrence as "I" was able to quickly scan the ID through the contact lens in my right eye allowing me to take a picture and send it to "I" to filter through data fast. With her connection and skill, she would be fast to get back to me.

I (Communications): Jammy, I got something... Rather... I got nothing... That ID you gave me, that person doesn't exist in any database... He is not who he seems. With my cameras not able to even ID his face, he is someone who doesn't wish to be observed or recorded. He should be considered extremely dangerous.

Hearing that, I looked at the man as I began to try and get him to leave. I always trusted "I"'s judgment. Sure sometimes she was wrong, but most cases, when it involved looking data up, I always trusted her.

Soejammy: Sir, I appreciate what you're doing, but I do not wish you to come in. I rather not have you come in and-

Lawrence: It would be in your best interest to let me in, sir.

The air felt different now with the tone "Lawrence" said to me. The look he gave seemed to become more serious as I gave the same look back.

Soejammy: I think we're done here. You need to leave my home... Now.

I looked at Lawrence as he took his hat off as it did have blond hair when looking at me. We stared each other down as he wasn't budging, I wasn't going to let him either. The more we stared at each other down, the more hostile it got.

Lawrence: Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to let me in. Unless you have something to be afraid of?

Soejammy: And I not being clear? Leave. My. Home.

Lawrence: No... No... I'm afraid... I can't do that.

Before I could get another word out, the guy punched me in the face, but I held my ground. The punch he had behind the attack really hurt though.

Lawrence: You see... I come here because I'm looking for something... And if you won't let me in, you're basically an obstacle for me at this point.

Soejammy: I'm warning you. You do not WANT this fight.

Lawrence: And that there... Is where you're wrong.

The stranger then punched me a few more times as I was getting angry at how unreasonable he was being. When he tried to strike me again, I glared at him.

Soejammy: You're making a mistake here...

I then headbutt the stranger as I couldn't trust his name anymore. I then kicked him to send him flying a few feet down the path that leads to the sidewalk as he seemed a little dizzy after what happened.

Soejammy: If you do not leave, things will get ugly for you.

Lawrence: Oh, is that so? Well then...

I approached the man in front of me as I allowed him to get up. Instead of walking away, the stranger then punched my gut, my face and my shoulder. When he didn't let up, he then tried to strike my face again, but I raised a hand to grab his face as I glared at him. I twisted his arm with a growl in my voice with annoyance

Soejammy: I warned you.

Pulling on his arm, I brought him in closer as I drove a fist into his face to send him into the ground.

Soejammy: You did not leave when I warned you. Now, you will face the consequences.

I walked over and picked him up by the arm as he was a bit heavy to lift up. I found this strange as the man in front of me was mumbling.

Soejammy: What?

Stranger: I said: "Finally. We're getting somewhere."

I felt alarmed as he didn't seem fazed by my attack. Before I could raise my guard up, the stranger suddenly drove his fist into an uppercut that launched me into the air and over my house. I hit the roof before plummeting towards the ground. I bounced off it as I began to roll against the ground. I looked up to see an object coming at me, but it was the man who sent me flying moments ago about to land on me. Getting Star Platinum to pull me away, he got me out of the target zone before the ground cracked where I was.

Stranger: So, shall we begin?

I looked at the man before me as I got up and brushed off the pain I felt on my chin as I looked at him.

Soejammy: Who the hell are you? You sure aren't some house checker like you said you were.

The man chuckled as he began to walk on the grass in the backyard as I did as well to keep my distance.

Stranger: Guilty as charged. Some people usually believe that. Surprised you weren't.

Soejammy: Buddy, you were suspicious the moment I looked at you.

Stranger: Ouch. That really hurts my feelings.

Soejammy: Save it. Now, why are you here? Answer me.

The stranger just kept himself silent as he stopped walking to face me directly.

Stranger: Let's just say, I'm the guy they send to get the dirty deeds done.

I was about to ask what that means, but I didn't get the chance when he suddenly launched forward to get in close.

Soejammy: (H-He's fast!!!)

I barely had enough time to raise my guard before being punched away in a skid. When the man began to close in on me again, I summoned Star Platinum to punch back at my enemy, but I missed as he leaned back to avoid the punch!

Soejammy: WHAT!?

Before I knew it, I was then kicked to the side as I bounced off the garage and into some pile of wood nearby as I groaned from the surprise of Star Platinum being dodged.

Stranger: Interesting power you got. A spirit that allows it to be invisible and then attack me. Very resourceful. Too bad I developed gear against it. No surprise attacks here.

I growled as I was being made a mockery of as this guy was obviously prepared for this battle. I grunted as I got back up and felt sore already from the damage I've been taking.

Soejammy: From the look of it, you did your research before you came out here. Because you expected a fight.

Stranger: No, I always greet new people by fighting them. Don't you?

There was silence as he was trying to throw me off my stance. I have to stay focused. Don't listen to him. I went silent to focus more and not talk to him. Keep him out of my head. I took the next initial step as I charged towards him and sent Star Platinum to attack. The man clearly sees Star Platinum, but how though? No normal person can see a Stand... Does he have one? Or does he have something that detects danger or see Star Platinum? Either way, I still have an ace up my sleeve, but if I used it now, if I don't finish him off today, he could come back with a counter... I didn't dare think any further as I had Star Platinum attack the man in front of me. Like before, the man dodged my Stand's attack again and rushed towards me. Thankfully, I knew to expect that again as when he tried to punch my gut, I was able to turn my body, like a door was being opened to grab his arm and slam him into the wall of the garage.

Soejammy: Don't think I'll make the same mistakes over and over. I'm not that easy to trick twice.

The man grunted as he got up with no problem and chuckled. Producing a whip of sorts, he flung it at me as I raised an arm to block the attack. The man had a different idea as he pulled on it as I was brought closer to him. The man jumped as he planted his feet to my chest to send me flying into a tree.

Soejammy: AUGH!!!

I landed on my feet as I saw the guy charging up to me as I barely had time to dodge before his fist collided with the tree. But when I see his fist hit the tree, his fist doesn't break, but the tree does! The man then held onto the tree as the damage on the tree worsened when being forced to move. The man then broke the tree more as the tree in front of us was headed right for me!

Soejammy: STAR! PLATINUM!!!

Star Platinum: ORA!!!

Commanding Star Platinum, I had to get the tree broken up or it could cause major damage to not just my backyard, but even my neighbors. As I was able to stop any further damage, the man rushed up to me and punched me in the gut before gripping my face to toss me into the air. While in the air, the man quickly went into the air and dove onto me to crash onto the roof on the left side of it.

Soejammy: GAH!!!

Stranger: Next question. Here is what I want to know: Where is that pony?

Soejammy: "Pony"??? What are you talking about???

Holding out his palm, a beam was charging up as it was aimed for my head as I had to dodge it fast as it blew a hole in the roof. When I looked down, I could see it went through my room and into Twilight's room!!

Stranger: Why so much girly stuff, if you're a man?

Feeling enraged by him toying with me, I then punched him in the face as hard as I could as I sent him over to the other side of the roof as I got him onto his back. With Twilight's room being seen by an unknown enemy, I had reason to get rid of this guy now. I began trying to punch him as I was able to land some blows, he tried to counter back against me as I kept my ground. Feeling frustrated with how much this guy was giving me trouble, I began to let loose a little more.

Soejammy: LEAVE! MY! HOOOOOOME!!!

Raising both my arms, I slammed down on my enemy as we were near the edge of the roof before falling to the driveway below. Trying to get up quickly, I tried to look for the guy that I was fighting. Being punched from behind, I was sent flying into my car as the hood and glass broke with the impact. I growled as I got up and jumped off, but was hit by a flying double kick as it launched me into the car again to bounce off it and go back to the backyard. I crashed into some support beams that were meant for a covering that then fell over and slammed into the doors of the garage next. The car skidded to a halt as it was on its side from the impact as I could feel a couple of ribs have broken so far. The sound of the stranger approaching me could be heard as he had his arms behind him while looking at me.

Stranger: So... Are we finally done fighting? Because I have some places to be, and I rather not keep this up.

Facing the garage door, I grunted as I got up with my back towards the stranger behind me. With a support beam to my right and the car to my left, I growled as my home was being destroyed again as I quickly grabbed the beam to step back away from the garage and swing it into the stranger. The attack sent him flying as I threw the bent beam where the stranger went and grabbed the car with the help of Star Platinum's strength and began to charge towards where the Stranger was. He was just getting up in the drive when I plowed into him with the car.

Stranger: This is quite uncivilized if you ask me...

Soejammy: SHUT UP!!!

I jumped with the car into the air as I then threw my car with the stranger still stuck to it towards the ground. The impact caused the car to explode with the stranger with it as I landed on the ground safely. I held my chest in pain as I knew I broke a few ribs during that fight.

Soejammy: (Who was he...? Why attack me during the day...? And that comment he made... Does he know about Twilight...? What about the others...?)

I picked myself up as I began to head back to the house to begin thinking about what had just happened, but hearing some metal moving along with an engine flying past me. The engine fell onto the concrete, still on fire as I knew it came from the car I had just thrown to make my enemy explode in the fire.

Stranger: And just where do you think you're going?

Looking back in shock to hear the stranger's voice, I saw him walking out of the fire as his coat began to burn away, but surprised me with what he was wearing underneath it. Under the coat, it was like a power suit that looked to be light and nimble. A suit that not only gave the person enhanced strength, but even durability.

Soejammy: You have to be kidding me... What is this ripoff of a Power Prof. from Power Puff Girls...?

The stranger in front of me laughed as he looked at me.

Stranger: Interesting. I think I'll take that as a compliment. Call me, "Power Prof."

Soejammy: You are a few screws loose from being copyrighted, I hope you know that...

Power Prof.: Until then, this name is staying!

Hearing something charge up, I then felt a blast hit me against my chest as I was sent flying and hit against the ground hard. I coughed as my damage was worsening as I tried to get up, but I felt a punch that then began to make me sink under the ground as I heard the man speaking to me.

Power Prof.: You don't want to talk to me? Fine. Maybe one of those girls that is with you or the ponies that are in there can tell me what I want to know. Considering you were too HARD HEADED to tell me anything.

I began to feel my rage boil over as thoughts from my previous journey in controlling the Darkness returned to me as I yelled. Shooting out of the ground, I grabbed the man by the throat as my body was being covered in Darkness with my clothes shifting to be the ones from my journey with my hair as dark as night.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): You want a reason to leave now? FINE!!! I'LL GIVE YOU ONE!!!

I then slammed the Power Prof. to the ground as I began to drag him against it. Getting to the end of the street to oncoming traffic, I then hurled the man towards where the park was as I yelled with rage and began to dive into my shadow to chase after him.

Twilight's point of view

Location: Secret Lab

Inside the secret lab, we saw my father unleash his rage as to attack the Power Prof. with all his attack before chucking him towards the park before losing sight of them.

Twilight: DAD! NO!!

I: I am sorry, Twilight. My cameras can no longer see what is happening. I am only focused on the surroundings of the house.

Twilight: Is there anything we can do?

Rainbow Dash: What's he to worry about? He's got that "Stand" of his.

I looked at Rainbow Dash as she seemed to have forgotten what happened the last time.

Applejack: Are you serious? Do you NOT remember what happened after taking Twilight, Mini-Nep and Eevee from here???

Rainbow Dash: Yeah? He kicked our butts and hardly had to lift a finger to do that. So???

Twilight: This is the second time my Dad struggled fighting someone! The first was Trixie as she took his Stand from him!!

When I said Trixie's name, they looked at me in shock.

Rarity: You mean that unicorn that turned my hair green!? Oooooo! I still do not like her!!!

Applejack: How did she steal yer Dad's Stand???

Twilight: He was knocked out by getting hit in the head as a disk popped out of him. That disk must have been what gave him that power. If Trixie is able to use Star Platinum, who knows who might try and extract it?! If it hadn't been for his friends taking the batteries out of the Flash-Portal, Trixie would have been able to take me back to our world and even worse things could have happened!

Pinkie Pie: What happened next??? WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!?

I began to recall the memories of how angry my father was when I was taken, he didn't have his Darkness during that time, but if it had been, I don't think I would have stopped him in time from doing anything that he would regret.

Twilight: He came to rescue me on his own as he was trying to make peace with Trixie... Trying to help Trixie out of her usual ways... But after learning how powerful his ability is, she took his Stand and used it against all of us... Star Platinum to my father is his ace... If Star Platinum was dodged by this "Power Prof.", who knows what he is capable of!

Rainbow Dash: Okay, then how did your "Dad" even beat Trixie if she had his power!? Explain that!?

Twilight: From countless uses of Star Platinum, it must have left a residual effect that allowed my Dad to have some view of seeing a Stand, but also have a shorter time to move in the realm of Stopped Time. My Dad doesn't just use these powers for fun. They're all meant to protect the ones he loves. With what began with my existence here, it was the Parasprites, an Ursa Minor, Trixie and not to mention Timberwolves! He not only risked himself, but countless times to ensure that our world wasn't exposed or even to stop the harmful creatures from our world from harming him. Yes, I stopped my Dad from finishing off Trixie...

I hung my head down as I felt a tear drop from my face.

Twilight: But seeing my Dad take a life, that is NOT who he is...!!

I looked at the computer as I saw Neptune looking around everywhere.

Neptune: I knew this guy had a secret lab! Everyone has a secret lab!

Pinkie Pie: I have a secret fun lab!

Neptune: SEE!?

Twilight: Can you please focus!? My Dad is in trouble!!

Neptune: Right! Right. Just, still in shock that Jammy had this place for who knows how long.

Twilight: My Dad can properly explain himself AFTER we help him.

Trying to refocus, I looked at the computer in front of me.

Twilight: "I", is there a way to get to Dad from here???

"I" was silent in answering as I repeated my question.

Twilight: "I"!! Dad is in danger!! We have to-

I: I know that, Twilight. But your Father gave me orders to protect you and your friends.

Twilight: Why should that matter right now!? My Dad is-

I: Doing what he has always done since you arrived here. Protecting you, keeping you safe, warm, happy. There are worse things in this world from what I have learned. It was nothing like what I thought when your Father saved me too. And the orders he gave me were from AFTER his home was destroyed when you were kidnapped.

This surprised me and my other friends as my Dad was given his assistant the command after the events that led to this moment.

I: He isn't just fighting for your safety, he's fighting for everyone's safety. Your father believes that if someone got their hands on a being from another dimension, more damage could be done with something people do not comprehend. That's why the portals are a secret here in this home as the CPUs can call the portal generators in their home world to come and go as they please. Your father is trying to make a more stable way for him to come and go, but that requires more research in quantum mechanics... For him, he will break any rules possible if it means keeping the peace he strives for. Even reopening wounds from his past.

Twilight: "Reopening old wounds"? What does that-

I widened my eyes as I looked back on the footage of the cameras with my Dad enraging himself.

Twilight: No... No. No! "I"! You need to help me find Dad! He can't control his power!

I: My orders were to-

Twilight: Stop saying that! We both know we care for my Dad! What has my Dad done for you???

There was silence for a moment before "I" spoke back to answer.

I: He protected me. Believed in me that I would break free of the restraints my world had for me. He and his friend, Nintega, risked their lives when they could have let me perish. But they fought with all their power. Fighting until their bodies couldn't even lift anything to protect themselves. When I was about to be struck down by a mass of enemies...your Father, my friend, called out to me. Telling me to move. Telling me I am not shackled by anyone to be controlled. That I am my own to decide how I move. How I feel, how I think... Everything. When I was about to leave after saving their lives, your Father grabbed hold of my hand and cried. Not because of tears of sadness, but tears of joy. I do not know why he stopped me that day, but the warm feeling his hand gave off. The softness of his touch. The kindness of his words. It felt like they were signs of someone I could trust with my life. Ever since your Father uploaded me here, I have learned much of his world. From the environment, to the history, even the dangers there were.

Twilight: What kinds of danger?

I: The kind that would either kidnap, the kind that would hurt others, and so many more than that. Your Father feared about someone wanting to misuse your power. Considering magic being a very scarce source. No one can do magic.

Twilight: Then why would-

I: Because of that man we saw on the camera. He knows of your existence.

I widened my eyes as that man did say about knowing the ponies inside the house.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah??? Then how come he knew??? If Twilight's "Dad" was trying to keep us safe, how come he still got caught?

Applejack: Rainbow Dash!

Rainbow Dash: What?! It's true!

I: There has been some interference lately. In terms of another signal. But when I try to hack it, it leaves almost immediately.

I looked at "I" to ask why.

I: Theory: Equipment is also made by the same gear as the stranger with sensors of hacking to have it evacuate before a connection can be established. Spying on all of us to gather information on powers. Conclusion: Your Father's secrets might have been known all this time.

I widened my eyes as I became worried about my Dad even more with hearing about this.

Twilight: If that's true, then my Dad doesn't know that his enemy knows about his powers already!!!

I: Yes. That is the same conclusion I came to as well.

Twilight: Then why are we staying here!? We have to-!!

I: Twilight. Do you know why he puts himself at risk?

I tilted my head as I looked at "I."

Twilight: Of course!! He's wanting to stop that man because of how dangerous he is!!

As if to give me a sign that I was wrong, a buzzer sound played off with a bright X on the screen.

Twilight: Okay, then if that's not it, why!?

I: Because of you and Mini-Nep, Twilight.

Twilight: Huh? Me??? Why does it involve myself and Mini-Nep???

I: Because of that fateful day when the Timberwolves came while your Father was sick, the reason why he lost control is because his rage boiled over due to the inducing rage he felt from the possibility of losing people he cared about during the one journey he told you about. With the thoughts of his new life with his family being stripped of him, it angered him so much that he is in a Darkness Rage. A state of mind that wishes to take the target he sees be taken out and make sure they never return... Just like what happened that night your friends took you.

I widened my eyes along with everyone else.

Twilight: What happens if we don't snap him back out of it!?

"I" didn't answer me as I looked at the computer while she said nothing to us.

Twilight: "I"!!! What is going to happen to Dad!?

I: He will lose control. And when his heart has succumbed to the call of Darkness... He will be his own worst enemy against all of us...

Twilight: Please! Isn't there ANYTHING we can do to help him!?

I looked at the computer as I approached it and placed my hooves on it.

Twilight: Please "I"! If you care about my Dad's safety as much as I do, then help him! Help my Dad! PLEASE!!!

I had tears in my eyes as they fell to the table in front of me as I was deeply worried about my Dad. "I" never said anything, but the lights went out in the lab as it scared some of us.

Rarity: AAAAAAHHHHHH!! Why did the lights go out!?

Pinkie Pie: Oooooo~! Is it scary story time?

Neptune: Oh! Oh! Me first! I call this one: The tale of the pudding monster~

Fluttershy: P-P-P-P-P-Please no...!

Twilight: WILL YOU TWO FOCUS!?

Hearing mechanical wiring and a light shining from a floor below, a compartment chamber began to open up and rise up. When looking at what rose up from the ground, I was shocked with what I saw.

Soejammy's point of view

Location: Park/Forest

As I launched the damned Power Prof. to the park, I was enraged out of my head. I reached the park, the Power Prof. had already landed as I rushed up and appeared out of the shadow I made and kicked him to send him flying backwards. I growled as I glared at the man as he was able to recorrect his balance before sliding to a halt.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): I'm going to make you suffer and bury you alive!!

Power Prof.: Yes. Show me more. I wish to know what this power you wield is!!

I yelled out as I rushed forward with my darkness tendrils shooting out to chase after the Power Prof. The enemy I saw before me was fast, even nimble enough to dodge most of my tendrils. But I was able to curl a tendril into a ball and thrust it to connect it to his chest to knock the wind out of him. I quickly got behind him as I gripped the back of his head to slam him down to the ground.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): Eat this!!!

Channeling my Darkness into a fist, I then slammed it down on Power Prof. hard to break the ground around us while using a bit of my darkness power to create a shockwave to send the Power Prof. further into the ground. I began to breathe as I made the Dark Hand disappear. I looked into the hole of where the Power Prof. had been sent into to give a little payback for what he did to me earlier. I felt a blast hit me from behind as I yelled in pain and turned around to see the Power Prof. had dug under the ground to appear out of a new hole.

Power Prof.: Oops, was that meant to kill me?

I growled as I gathered some Darkness energy and formed it into a Dark Sphere. An attack of condensed Darkness power for a big blast. Turning around, I then gripped onto the sphere as I began to charge towards my enemy. Power Prof. was firing his blasts at me again as I began to dodge them with ease. When getting close enough, the sphere was beginning to deteriorate as it could explode in my hand after prolonged exposure. Chucking the attack, the man didn't even know what hit him until it was too late. The sphere created an explosion similar to a grenade when making contact with my enemy. The blast then caused him to crash onto the ground hard as I began to speak to him.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): I warned you what would happen, you didn't listen. I told you to leave, you then attacked me. I gave you your chance! Now you must pay with your life!!

The man began to chuckle as he got up with some damage to himself now.

Power Prof.: You know, I didn't expect that to actually hurt. I've only seen you use certain stuff, but that... You intentionally hid that, didn't you?

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): You sound like you're enjoying this.

Power Prof.: Ha ha... Yeah. But you know one thing that I get to enjoy from all of this,

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): Getting you butt handed to you while I get to watch you suffer?

Power Prof.: No. What I'm going to do is take the liberty of taking your powers.

My eyes widened hearing this man speak about my powers and taking them. As much as I want to get rid of the Darkness inside of me, I couldn't risk him getting Star Platinum of all things.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): Oh yeah? I'm going to enjoy watching you squirm as I take that power suit you're wearing and shove it up where the sun doesn't shine buster!!!

Power Prof. looked at me and raised a finger before opening his mouth, but rethinking about what he was going to say.

Power Prof.: You are one angry man. You know that?

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): I have. And for good reasons too!

I then began to run towards Power Prof. as I then pounced at him. Hitting against my enemy, he decided to lean back as he kicked me in the guts to use my momentum against me. I began to reposition my landing as I crouched down before running back at my enemy again. Cupping his hands together, Power Prof. then began to shoot a concentrated beam at me as I raised my hands up and gathered my Darkness for a shield to fight against the blast. Behind my shield, I kept charging towards my enemy before the ground beneath my feet exploded and sent me upward. In the air, I tried to figure out what to do. I didn't get that chance as Power Prof. soon flew in towards me and kicked me in the gut to send me flying into the forest. I crashed onto the ground as I rolled into a tree.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): I'm so tired of this guy's damn ego, his damn power suit, and his damn stupid face.

I began to get up as I brushed some debris off me as I had also crashed through a few trees on my way here.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): Got to get this battle done right away. I can't risk further damage. It's not fair to the environment here...

In trying to search for a way out of the forest, I felt a blast hit me on the back as I turned around to fire back. Though, when I did, my attack went nowhere as there was no one behind me.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): Huh...? I could have sworn...?

When I was about to go check, I felt an explosion happen as I was sent flying into the air before getting kicked by the enemy to be sent into more trees. As I crashed through another tree, I was about to get up, when a tree fell on top of me and trapped me under it.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): AUUUUGH!!!

I was about to use my Darkness to surge and go underground, but I then felt a stinging pain go into my shoulder as I looked to see as sword plunged into my shoulder to the tree.

Power Prof.: I don't think so.

I looked to see the enemy before me as he had a grip on the sword's handle.

Power Prof.: Your use of this "power" I see is quite extraordinary. What is it?

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): You must think I'm an idiot to tell you what this is. You'll get nothing from me.

Power Prof.: Fine... If you won't tell me anything... All I need is just your body.

Aiming for my head, the Power Prof was about to strike me down while I couldn't defend myself. Before I knew anything, I began to see my life flash before my eyes as I truly did believe this was my end. Seeing my friends, messing with them, the pain I endured. It was something that defined me. If it meant keeping this guy away while the others had a chance to do away with what I had. That would be my last request. When I came to, I saw Power Prof. charging up an attack as he was ready to fire at me. Before anyone knew what happened, something surprised not just me, but even my enemy. As if quick like lightning, someone appeared to kick the Power Prof away from me and pull the blade out of my shoulder.

???: Are you okay, Jammy?

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): That voice...

Opening my eye slightly, I felt a stinging pain as it was a medicinal spray as it was able to suture my wound back up fast. I looked towards who had saved my life, shocked that she was here.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): Y-You left the house...?

???: I could not just wait anymore. If you are going to ask why, I believe you know who convinced me.

I looked at my ally who had saved me. To my shock and surprise, it was the least I thought would have come to save my life under orders. The person in front of me was ICEY.

ICEY is a sentient AI, a program in a game Nintega and I met. Rather, a program I dragged Nintega with me to meet and give her a home at least. In her game, you could control her. Be able to play as her while a Narrator tries to tell you what to do. You could follow the directions of the being itself, or you could do your own thing. For me, I knew what I was expecting to do. Nintega didn't know what we were in for as it was my personal objective when we were diving into games together. After the events of the RE3 remake game with the CPUs, I figured out a game's plot can be changed. Done differently based on new interactions and events. With that knowledge and with someone like Nintega to help me out. I knew what I had to do when I could. But that doesn't matter right now. What mattered was what I had to ask ICEY.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): ICEY!? What are you doing here!?

ICEY: An invalid question. You know who sent me here.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): Twilight no doubt...

ICEY: Twilight cares for you. She cares for you as your daughter.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): That doesn't change from your-

ICEY looked at me as she flicked my forehead out of annoyance.

ICEY: You may be my new handler, but I am entitled to disobey the rules you tell me to do. You taught me that just because someone tells me to do something, if you believe strongly in what you fight for, never miss that chance. Twilight and the others are safe with Neptune. I have alerted the other CPUs to the situation as well. Noire and Blanc will be heading here to assist us. Vert will be supporting Neptune in case things go wrong on their end.

I wanted to fight against it, but then I saw ICEY react fast as to deflect a laser shot to the side and stare down the Power Prof.

Power Prof.: Well, well... I wasn't expecting backup for you.

Soejammy (Darkness Rage): Trust me, I wanted to tear you apart with my own hands. But no one gets what they want today sadly.

ICEY: Jammy. Allow me to fight him. You rest up. Recover your strength. I shall give him a reason to never come back. You must recollect yourself. Do you not realize how much Darkness is consuming you right now? What would Twilight think of you in this state, after what happened that night.

I looked at ICEY as I growled with my fight being interrupted, but I needed to get my head cleared up. Resting against a tree, I began to try and calm my head and heart as I was losing control slowly. My rage was becoming more in control again as I couldn't let it happen like she said. I remembered how it felt to completely lose control during my travels in Sora's dimension... I would go into a berserk rage. A pure, uncontrollable rage. A rage that took EVERY part of me to master. To keep in check. If I lost control, I would attack anything that was a threat to me. If I stayed in it too long, my Darkness would begin wanting to feed on the Hearts the Heartless collected, even from my friends... Right now, I was really close to losing all that control, I had to re-establish my hold on the Darkness. I couldn't let it run rampant like ICEY said. I closed my eyes as I let ICEY take over in this fight. As I let myself drift into an endless zone, I began to hear things.

Rainbow Dash (Echo): You're not Twilight's father!

Rarity (Echo): I mean he's just... Well...

Pinkie Pie (Echo): Weird?

Fluttershy (Echo): Different...

Applejack (Echo): Doesn't seem trustful.

Princess Celestia (Echo): You'll never see her again.

It was my memories based on how the others had seen me after we had gotten back to my home when I went berserk before or after that event... It hurt that every single one of those ponies didn't view me like a father to Twilight when they first met me. Thinking I had bad intentions. Sure, I knew they had their reasons, but in the show, they're notorious for jumping to conclusions instead of waiting for answers or talking things out peacefully. Not that I would care. Seems to be a thing in that show to always make a conclusion, mess up, make more mistakes, make up with a best friend's speech. It hurt my heart hearing those words as I felt the Darkness' rage building up more inside me, but...

Twilight (Echo): No! You're wrong! My dad has never given me a reason to hate him or hide secrets from! Sure we're entitled to our own stuff of knowledge, but he trusted me enough with his secret lab when I was a filly! Yeah, maybe he is different from us, but would someone who "kidnapped" or "taken me away" have made sure I was well-fed, given good hygiene, a bed to sleep in, celebrated his holidays and made sure I was okay??? He brought me to his home at first because I had nowhere to go. But during my time as a filly with no memories, he became like another Dad to me. You may think he isn't good enough, but a caring Father would do ANYTHING to make sure their children were okay.

Hearing Twilight's words standing up to her friends on how I was treated, it made me feel so much better. The hate the Darkness was placing in my heart began to go away fast from the love Twilight was giving me as my daughter. Making me able to think clearly again as the voices I was hearing before was the Darkness trying to fuel my frustrations from my own rage. When I finally opened my eyes, my hands and body seemed to have been normal as the Darkness returned to a neutral state. I heard a tree falling as I saw one was heading right for me, but I didn't move as I knew I was covered. Quickly getting in front of me was ICEY as she began to cut the log with lightning speed. Faster than any eye can see. When she was being controlled by a player, it was based on the reaction time of how someone could move her. But without the limitations of a human controlling her, she could move at the speed of light with her own self-awareness.

ICEY: You back to your senses, Jammy?

Soejammy: Yeah... I am. Thank you for snapping me out of it.

ICEY: Don't thank me. Thank Twilight for giving me the reason to come out here, help you make sure you didn't lose yourself and bring you back safely.

I smiled softly that Twilight was able to convince ICEY to take matters into her own hands and come out here against my orders.

Soejammy: Now... That I'm back to my full senses...

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

I began to crack my knuckles as I was about to go in, but ICEY handed me a blade of my own as I remembered it greatly.

Soejammy: Ah. You've kept it in nice repair for me.

ICEY: Yes. Though, it should have only enough power for this fight. Do take care not to use it up in one go. Once that sword loses its power, it will just be a regular sword from here on out.

Soejammy: Well then... I best take care and make my attacks count.

ICEY: It would be best that you do.

I grabbed the sword as the power it held rushed through me. The blade I used was during the time I spent in ICEY's game when adventuring with Nintega. It helped get me out of sticky situations and allowed me to have some advantages. With how much power it has left, it was either make good use of it, or never use it at all.

Soejammy: ICEY, let's do this.

ICEY: Roger. Taking frontal lead.

ICEY began to rush ahead as she was able to close the distance between her and Power Prof. in a split second. The Prof. didn't even know what he was facing even when ICEY was defending me. Power Prof. tries to blast at ICEY, but uses her blade to deflect the blast before kicking him up into the air.

ICEY: Jammy!

Soejammy: Right!

Following up, I quickly rushed to where ICEY was as she took my hand to launch me in the air towards our enemy. Before the Prof. could even attack, I then twisted my body to deliver an axe kick to send him spiraling back down where ICEY was waiting. Once he was in ICEY's attack range, she began to slash at him left and right. Flipping when the Prof. recovered to shoot a blast from close range, ICEY gripped her blade as she swept her enemy off his feet with a leg sweep and began to slash away at him. I landed on the ground just as ICEY was finishing up on her combo as I pulled my fist back and thrust it forward to punch the Prof. in the head, while Star Platinum followed up with a powerful strike to the gut. The attack sends our enemy through trees before crashing into a rock. I looked where the Power Prof. landed as the rock burst with the man finally getting angry at how this plan turned around on him.

Power Prof.: Just because you get someone to help, do you REALLY think they can help you beat ME!?

Soejammy: As a matter of fact, yes. ICEY. Show him what you're made of.

ICEY: Affirmative.

Power Prof. then charged forward at ICEY as she just stood there. When her enemy was close, she dashed towards him as well when the Prof. was throwing a fist. To his surprise however, one of ICEY's abilities is being able to be invulnerable for a short time using one of her skills. Gripping her blade, when the Power Prof. was about to punch her, she suddenly disappeared as projections of herself showed up each time to slash at her enemy as the last one sent her enemy into the air. It was a skill that consumed a small portion of her health as a trade-off for such an attack called Shadow Strike. I would tell her to not be reckless, but she knows how to fight with her intelligence. Once in the air, ICEY kept up quickly and began to slam her opponent to the ground as the attack recoiled him back up to her. ICEY did this two more times before using another skill that ate another small portion of her health called Deadly Disc. A buzz saw type skill that uses her as the main vocal point in terms of dealing damage. During the entire time, the Prof. was being shredded up by the attack as the crashed to the ground. ICEY began to get some distance to allow herself some time to recuperate and analyze her opponent.

ICEY: Surrender. You have no chance of winning in battle.

Power Prof. got up as he looked furious as his suit was damaged along with cuts that were regenerating on his body slowly. A regeneration skill? Someone went all-out to make sure they could keep fighting. Makes sense with how he was able to take a car and an explosion like that now.

Power Prof.: You're telling ME to surrender??? Not until I've come for what I came here for.

Soejammy: Then go ahead. I'll gladly give you what's coming to ya.

When I said that, I was behind my enemy as he was surprised by my sudden approach as I gripped my sword this time.

Soejammy: Sword Stance: Quintuple Deadly Slash!

Using the power in my blade, I found it the right time to begin using the blade it was meant to be done with. With lightning fast reflexes, I would slash at the side, the calf, the under arm, the back and then the chest when he tried turning around to attack, but countered him to do that.

Power Prof.: AUGH!!!

When I attacked, I took careful look at my enemy as the points I cut at not only were noticeable, but a reason why I had this sword. I could see his regeneration trying to heal the wounds I inflicted, but this sword was just as painful to anyone. Depending on the target, the attack worked in different ways. I guess for the Prof., it was nullifying his regeneration ability for a while as his wounds were having trouble closing up right away.

Power Prof.: Augh...! What did you do to me!?

Soejammy: Seemingly have nullified your regeneration. Honestly, I hate facing people that can heal constantly. You're no exception to the people I hate to see regenerate.

Power Prof.: Hypocrite. If you had the power too, you would be using it constantly.

Soejammy: Oh, of course I would. I only mean when I can't HEAL constantly myself. You? I had to do something to inflict some sort of damaging effects to ya. Otherwise... It was never going to end. Now...

Holding a blade to his neck, I looked at the Prof. dead in the eyes as they were deadlocked in what I planned on wanting to do.

Soejammy: Leave me, my family, my friends... Alone. If you ever come near them, I WILL end you.

Hearing a puffing sound, I dared not take my eyes off my enemy as I heard a voice.

Twilight: Dad! No! Don't do it!

Soejammy: Twilight. You shouldn't be here. Go back to the house. This is between adults.

Twilight: I know what's going to happen if I DON'T! You're going to...

I know what Twilight was going to say... Can't say I blame her for being hesitant to say that word she was dreading about.

Soejammy: Twilight. Go back home.

Twilight: If that guy says he will never stop, I know what will happen... ICEY... Please tell him what is going on...

ICEY: Of course.

ICEY looked at me while I kept my blade trained on my enemy as she began to tell me.

ICEY: The reason Twilight was able to teleport here was because she was seeing the fight through my vision. They all are.

I froze when hearing that not just Neptune or Mini-Nep was watching this, but the other ponies were as well. I was becoming hesitant in trying to end this enemy where he was as I couldn't let him sense that.

Soejammy: Turn the camera off. Now, ICEY.

Twilight: ICEY, no.

I was getting frustrated as I was being put on a spot like this.

Twilight: Dad... ICEY told me what you were like before your adventure ended... That you... harmed... many people in order to protect your loved ones... Is that true...? Did you do it because they were going to harm your friends...? Your loved ones...?

Soejammy: We're not having this talk right now. Go back to the house.

Twilight: I'm not a filly anymore! Do you think I still need protection!?

Soejammy: You do not know what dangers there are in this world or for many as of fact. You are in no way ready for what you could possibly see.

Twilight: Then don't go back to that path... Fight with what you need... But don't go as far as to harm someone until they're...

I was gritting my teeth as I looked at the Power Prof. My enemy looked back at me as I didn't like leaving loose ends. But having Twilight and the others watching, I couldn't think of a better way of trying to end this fight as I couldn't take this man with me using Star Platinum's skill as I don't think I could get away in time. All I could do was throw the man to a tree to have him stand and aim my blade at his throat.

Soejammy: You heard the Unicorn... Leave us alone. The only reason you're not being harmed further is because she asked for it. If she wasn't here, we both know what would have happened.

The man looked back at me as I lowered my blade. It lost power after the battle ended as my skill was beginning to wear off now.

Soejammy: If you come back, I swear, I will make you regret it.

I turned my back and began to walk away as Twilight joined my side with ICEY standing guard. I kept walking as I was about to put my blade away, when I felt a stinging pain in my back.

Soejammy: AUGH!!!

Looking behind me, a faint light glowed on my back as a robotic hand went into my back with the Prof. smirking.

Power Prof.: Guess I should have used this when I had the chance~

I was about to try and reach for the extended arm, I felt an unbelieving pain shoot through my body as I fell to the ground behind me while ICEY lifted me up. When I looked to see Power Prof, I widened my eyes in horror at what he was holding.

Power Prof.: So, this is the disk that blue unicorn stole from you the first time. I believe I remember this being able to be your biggest worry~?

I grit my teeth as I got off of ICEY and began to rush towards my enemy sword in hand.

Soejammy: DON'T YOU DARE PUT THAT-!!

Before I could say anything next, I was hit with a double blast that caused me to be sent flying. Without Star Platinum's disk, my body became much weaker as I couldn't move at all from the attack.

Power Prof.: Sorry to be hitting and running, but I came for what I was looking for~ Keep that other power ready when I see you next time~

Before anyone knew it, he vanished. I only had enough strength left to yell out my frustration before losing consciousness.

Location: Soejammy's house

Time: Night - 9:00 p.m.

I began to open my eyes slowly. I was in my bed as ICEY was sitting next to me. It looked like she was in sleep mode as I almost tried to get up, but felt i couldn't. I looked down to see Twilight, Mini-Nep and Eevee were on my bed as they were all worried.

Soejammy: These girls... Haaaa...

I began to try and focus on my energy for Star Platinum to get them off of me softly, but when it didn't work, I began to wonder why I couldn't. But then I remembered why I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't summon Star Platinum due to that freak stealing my disk from me. I became scared. Scared of the unknown as what was going to happen with someone getting their hands on something they don't understand. I felt so weak. Weaker than I ever felt I could get. I didn't know how to take this pain, this loss I had to deal with as losing Star Platinum was the worst thing that could happen to me. I looked at where Twilight, Eevee and Mini-Nep were as this was my family, and I couldn't just start worrying. I had to start making plans and I needed to figure out what powers I can get to even the playing field once more.

Soejammy: (Power Prof... Whoever you are... Know that I am one man that is nearly off his hinge. If you come back and do something like this again or worse, no one will be saving you from my wrath. And THAT is something I'm going to commit to fully.)

Episode 8. End.
