Tripcode: !!TPowazN4BdH
>You are Delsin Rowe
>and god damn have you had a good day
>you just wrapped up getting the concrete out of the rest of the Akomish Tribe
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr4jV7_nybQ
>you pick it up
>it's Eugene
"hey dude, what's happening?"
>"Come back to Seattle, fast, something's happening"
>never a better time to be a conduit
>you draw on Concrete and make your way back to the City you just spent what felt like forever clearing of the DUP
>"Meet me at the Space Needle"
>fantastic
>they were probably just taking down your flag
>you reach the decommissioned bridge
>heh, might as well do a little civil service with your newest superpowers
>you remove all the concrete chunks that red haired bitch made
>then you raise the pieces of the bridge back up and seal them together
>plenty spare material for that lying around
>and it will make moving around that much easier
>You finally get to the checkpoint you busted
>time to go fast
>you pull a little Neon into you
>not enough to fully charge you, but enough to give you some speed
>and you're off to the space needle
>you run straight up the side of it
>god damn is Neon fun for that
>you reach the top
>Eugene and Fetch are waiting for you
>there's a weird portal thing behind them
>it looks like the work of a new Conduit
>or one of the many you released
"how long has this been here?"
>F: "about an hour, not Conduit work, it just appeared out of nowhere"
"have you touched it?"
>E: "do we look like idiots? no!"
"good, I'm going to be the first then"
>E: "I think I'll stay back and summon a few angels, thanks"
>F: "pfft, when it blows up in your face I'm going to laugh"
"there's my girl"
>F: "fuck off, do whatever you're going to do"
>you reach out to it
>and it PULLS
>you're yanked into it's light before you can react
>you wake up on a bed of soft grass and a really bright light
>no smog
>no brick walls
>no concrete
>no metal
>you're not in Seattle, that's for sure
>ahh fuck
>you have a little Neon juice left, so you're going to be able to run forever
>that's nice
>you pop back up onto your feet
"EEEEP! MONSTER! SCARY LIGHT MONSTER!"
>what the hell?
>that sounded like it came from behind you
>you turn around
>ok
>what the actual fuck
>there's a trio of tiny pastel colored horses staring at you
>one of them is orange with purple hair
>the one to it's right is white with purple/pink hair
>and the one on the left is yellow with red hair
>defiantly not in Seattle anymore
"and just when I thought life couldn't get any weirder..."
>"EEP! IT TALKS!"
>ahh fuck
>wierd as it is, that's fucking adorable
>The white one's horn is glowing
>you've been a conduit long enough to know what that means
"wait wait wait! I wo-"
>you reach out to grab her horn
>your arm reacts to it
>ahh shit, not again
>her face goes blurry as you enter her mind
>"My name is Sweetie Belle"
>"I've lived a happy life for as long as I can remember"
>"My sister, Rarity, taught me to use my magic with Twilight Sparkle's help"
>"then she brought me to a party, where I met my best friends in the whole wide world!"
>"We became the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the CMC"
>"and we've been that way ever since!"
>you wake up after being prodded by something
"getting REALLY sick of that"
>"What did you do to Sweetie Belle!"
>ahh shit
>these were just kids
>that had clearly never seen anything like you
"I'm what's called a 'conduit', I have the ability to absorb matter and manipulate it, and your friend here gave me a new type, though I don't quite know what it is and when I take a step I'm probably going to have some trouble getting used to it"
>you attempt to step forward
>a flash of light and you're suddenly ten feet away from your original location
"come on Delsin, you've done this four times before, you can do it again"
>god damnit
>you don't even know your source
>you focus on walking normally
>there we fucking go
>you walk back to the three kid horses
>you refuse to call them that goofy name you found in... Sweetie Belle's head
>speaking of her, she's just waking up
>SB: "I saw you... inside my head, what's going on? what was that?"
>her friends step in
>the orange one first
>Scootaloo? you think that's what she's called
>SL: "This thing is a 'condit' or whatever it's called! he took your magic!"
>SB: "WHAT! B-but I can still use it!"
>to prove her point, her horn glows and picks up a tree branch
>oh shit
>you're going to need a LOT of blast shards if you're going to get any skills again
>and you're not going to be able to use any of your other powers for a while
>fuck
>the yellow one speaks up
>AppleBlossom, or something like that
>AppleBloom! that was it!
>AB: "So... Conduit, what's your name?"
>ah shit
>you really hope you're the only one that ever ends up here, otherwise someone's going to be pissed they're being called a Conduit and not a Human
"My name's Delsin Rowe, now can someone explain where I am and how I got here?"
>SL: "We just found you lying there, then you woke up and did that really really cool light thing! can you teach me how to do that!?"
"sorry kid, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who can do that, and I'm pretty sure I just lost it for a while"
>SB: "what do you mean, "lost it?"
"when I took your 'magic' power, I lost all my other ones for a while, they'll come back soon, but in order for that to happen I have some things I need to do, and I can't do them here, do you guys know where the closet town is?"
>AB: yah! Sweet Apple Acres is right this way, and it's on the edge of Ponyville!"
>a small farming town
>not the best place to find any sort of blast shards
>actually, if you're the first human here, the DUPs wouldn't have set up anything that needed blast shards in the first place
>fuck
>you were stuck going the long way
>what was the long way anyways?
>how long would it take to get Smoke, Neon, Video and Concrete back?
>are there even sources of any of those besides Smoke?
>fuck, too many questions, just go with the flow like you always do
>you try out your new power
>magic or whatever
>you realize you're not actually moving like you did with smoke or Neon
>you're just... appearing in the direction you want to go
>teleporting!
>holy shit
>you look up at a rather large tree
>boom
>you're at the top
>just like that
>this is too fucking good
>what else can this stuff do?
>you teleport back down the tree and follow your guides
>this whole world seems kind of... cute
>like it retained it's innocence throughout time
>not like home, that's for sure
>you hated what the DUPs had done to the city before you blew through
>you hadn't had that much fun in a long time
>and you got to be a hero
>you finally reach Sweet Apple Acres
>an orange horse walks up to your group
>"Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, just what in tarnation is this thing?"
>SC: "It's a Conduit! he can do some really cool things!"
"Has this 'conduit" done anything to hurt you?"
>SB: "well, I got scared and tried to blast him with magic when we first met him, and then he grabbed my horn to try and stop me, and then some weird stuff happened and we both fell unconscious, but it's alright! it was my fault for trying to hurt him!"
>the orange horse just looks at you all
>"....alright, I suppose I can trust you a little bit then, mah name's applejack, pleasure to meet you!"
>she raises her hoof to you
>you get down your haunches and shake it
"Name's Delsin, nice to meet you too"
>AJ: "well aren't ya just a gentlecolt! I should introduce ya to rarity!"
"would she be in town? I'm looking for something, it may be there, it may not, but it's my best chance right now"
>AB: "oooh! we'll help you find it!"
>CMC: "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER, FINDERS!"
>what the fuck
>how can such creatures be so adorable
"alright, I'm looking for anything blue and glowing, it will usually be in the form of large shards of... something, but sometimes you'll see it inside big black boxes, got that?"
>SC: "ya know, Rainbow Dash said something about big black boxes being put up all over Seaddle when she went to visit!"
>AJ: "wait just a second, you're a human? you kinda look like the ones that popped up in the big cities all at once, but you don't have the big helmet thingy"
>ohh shit
"yeah, human, special kind, you mind telling me how long ago these other humans showed up?"
>AJ: "ahh reckon some time in the last few weeks, they work really fast with their stuff, their leader said they were waiting for someone to come through when her work was done in their world, someone called..."
>fuck
"Brooke Augustine?"
>AJ: "yah! how'd you know?"
"not important, I need to get to Seaddle fast"
>SC: "what for?"
"well, if the DUP are here, pretty soon they're going to dub anyone with special powers "Bio-Terrorists" and claim they're making your world safer, but they're really just going to be making life really hard on you"
>AJ: "and you're going to stop them? how?"
"I have a few tricks up my sleeve"
>AJ: "Ah would help, my friends and I have a few special tricks of our own, but we can't use them without Twilight, and she's gone into some weird mirror portal thing for the next few weeks"
>that sounds like what got you here
>maybe it's a way out
>but first
>clearing out the DUPs
"alright, I'm going to take back your city for you, I have little doubt that they've got problems there already"
>AJ: "that's mighty kind of you, Delsin, but ya might want to meet with the princesses about it before you do anything else"
"alright, what's the fastest way there?"
>SC: "well, there's the train, the chariots, the airships, pick your way!"
>trains sound like the fastest
"I'll stick to the ground, where can I get a train ticket?"
>AJ: "me and Rarity will go with ya, we get train rides free"
>cool, free train ride to go meet the leader of the country
>your late brother's voice rings in your head
>"best behavior Delsin, be careful"
>damn it all, why didn't you listen to him then?
>whatever, now is not the time to mourn
>now is the time to kick the DUPs out of this new world and figure out this new power
>which goes hand in hand
>great
"alright, let's get going then!"
>your herd begins to make it's way to Ponyville
"alright, pick up this Rarity, get on the train, meet the Princesses... explain what happens when you let the DUPs run wild... fix the problem, and try and get home, no problem!"
>SC: "can we help with that?"
"ahh, that might not be the greatest idea, my way of 'fixing the problem' doesn't really involve talking it out, the DUP kinda wants to kill me on sight"
>Applejack stops and looks at you
>AJ: "and just what did you do to deserve that?"
"I became a Conduit, I got special powers"
>you continue to explain the situation until you reach Rarity's house/shop
>it's a really over the top place, that's for sure
>your group walks in, and you have to duck a little to fit through the door
>SB: "Rarity? I'm home! and we made a new friend!"
>A white unicorn trots down the stairs
>she's not adorable
>she's just cute in a womanly way
>the glasses on her snout amplify the effect
>jesus christ, you really need to balance your teen hormones if you're thinking about doing anything with this one
>R: "oh my, he's a strange one isn't he?"
>you smile warmly as you kneel
"Delsin Rowe, pleased to meet you"
>R: "ohh but he is quite the gentlecolt! his sense of style could use some work of course, but it isn't too bad..."
>oh hell no
>this vest is your life
>you stand back up
>AJ: "We're taking him to the princesses, we thought you would like to come along since these foals got wrapped up in it"
>AB: "Ah am NOT a foal!"
>no, stop being so cute damnit
>R: "Oh, how delightful! a trip to canterlot! of course I'll come with"
"alright, so we're heading to the train next?"
>AJ: "yeppers, let's go"
>you reach the train station after dropping the foals off to do whatever it is they do, and a very long explanation of the situation to Rarity
"...and it's up to me to fix it"
>R: "is it really going to be that bad? you haven't even seen any proof yet?"
"trust me, I've seen proof of what they do back home, I don't want anyone to deal with that ever"
>AJ: "that's great and all, but what are you actually going to do about it?"
"I'm going to show them who's boss"
>the look she gives you reminds you way too much of your brother
>the three of you board the train, and you couldn't give a fuck about the looks the other ponies gave you, you were going to sleep
>the three of you sit down in a private cabin
>apparently you were in the presence of the heroes of the nation, as they explained it to you
>six ponies found the most powerful artifacts in this world and used them to save the country several times
>cool, your backup knew what it was doing
>or so you thought
>they then explained that the linchpin of their superpowers was another princess and she was out of this world currently
>you had already heard this part, but it was enough to keep you awake
"alright guys, I need some sleep if I'm going to be talking to monarchs and fighting bad guys"
>you rest your head on the bench and pass the fuck out
>the train stops with a screech as you wake up
>you unintentionally teleport up instead of just standing
>you almost lose your balance
>AJ: "you okay sugarcube?"
"just... fine, gah, I hate getting used to new powers"
>you step out of the train and into the fresh night air
>this city is small, but it's pretty nice
>all fancy and shit
>you're guided through the streets by Applejack, since Rarity is bouncing around looking through all the windows
>after an eternity of walking, you arrive at the castle
>and god damn is it a castle
>Europe has nothing on this shit
>the gates are opened by guards in golden armor
>that doesn't seem practical
>then again, you've been kicking the shit out of DUPs wearing concrete as armor
>hell, you had concrete armor of your own
>or you would, if you hadn't picked up this new stuff
>you walk across the tiles with your guides in tow
>might as well make an entrance
>sitting on the two thrones are larger ponies than the ones you've met so far
>one is white, the other blue
>you reach what you think is the right spot and kneel before them
>show a little respect to the authorities
>for Reggie
>you scrounge through what you saw in Sweetie Belle's head
>Princess Celestia is the white one
>Princess Luna is the blue one
>makes sense
>C: "hello Rarity, Applejack, I see you brought another human with you, tell me, what is your name?"
"My name is Delsin Rowe, pleased to meet you"
>L: "We are pleased to meet you as well, Mr. Rowe, tell us, how did you arrive here?"
>explaining your self over and over again is getting really annoying
>but you do it anyways
>C: "hmm... well, you'll be glad to know you're not the first human here if you haven't guessed already. An organization known as the DUP, the Department of Universal Protection, found our world and promised to protect us from the "bio-terrorist" threat."
>oh boy
>another round of explaining the situation later, and both the princesses are in shock
>C: "you mean to say that the ponies in Seaddle are currently being oppressed for having magic?"
"that's what happened in my world, yes"
>L: "and it's all being led by this woman, Augustine?"
"well, not so much anymore, I stopped her in my world, but it seems like there's some cleanup to do here, with your permission, I'd like to go fix the problem myself"
>C: "if your story is true, and I believe it is, then of course you may, on the condition that one of my loyal ponies is at your side to assist you and keep you out of trouble"
>R: "I simply cannot stand for such tyranny, I will go with Delsin"
"great, let's go then, the longer we sit here talking, the worse the situation gets and the more concrete I have to clear"
>L: "he raises a fair point, we shall teleport you there now!"
>Luna's horn glows blue, and there's a brief flash of light
>next thing you know, you're in a very strange place
>it's familiar
>but is' also different
>no satellite dishes sadly
>but you lasted without that before
>you should be fine once you figure out this new stuff
>you still need to figure out what it's source is
>maybe you could ask Rarity, since she's here with you
>but no time for that
>you can see a DUP scanning station up ahead
>and one of their Core Relays too
>good, time to see what this stuff could do
>...after you clear out the DUPs
>fortunately, there's Neon EVERYWHERE
>well, that would be fortunate, but you forgot that you can't use your other powers until you figure out this one a little more
>god damnit
>you duck into an Alleyway and try to do something with what you have
>a simple bright projectile shoots out from your palm
>good enough for you
>R: "what was that?"
"something useful, you may want to stay away from me for the next few minutes, things are going to get kinda crazy"
>R: "whatever do you mean darling? I said I would help you!"
"I work better alone in this case, so unless you want to get seriously hurt by these guys, stay away for now"
