[Note: What you are about to read may confuse you if you are not familiar with The F.U.N. Channel. Allow me a few moments to explain in the hopefully most condensed yet understandable way possible.
There exist many universes within the one omniverse. In each contains the many, many fictional characters you all know and love. Literally think of ANY character or universe, even if you made them up yourself (within reason), and no matter what, somewhere in the omniverse, they do in fact exist. To say that they are not real does not mean they aren't real somewhere else out of this dimension. Even we ourselves, in what we refer to as "Real Life" exist within this somewhat endless, infinite collection of worlds. And there isn't anything one can say to disprove of this fact. The 'gods' told me themselves, and I have witnessed parts of this multiverse many times. Long story. However, in particular, there exists two worlds that, among a few select others, share a special connection with each other. Those worlds….are our own universe (also known as Universe-0, but from this point shall be referred to as the "Real World/Universe") and Universe-105. Everyone knows what the "Real World" is like. You might possibly be sitting in it right now. But in 'Universe-105', humans, aliens and other somewhat peculiar yet interesting species and deities all co-exist with each other. And one of these races are ones gifted to many specific few who are deemed as worthy and capable of carrying. This is called an "Everything". One can only be an everything if they possess skills worthy of existing in the worlds known as "YouTube", "DeviantArt", & "FanFiction". You may know these "worlds" in real life as simple websites on the internet. But elsewhere, they are literally worlds all on their own. These "Everythings" can possess powers from each of these worlds, each of which are different types depending on the corresponding world. These powers are difficult to master for any chosen one without strong and proper bonding and training with these powers, not to mention possessing them are a huge responsibility. However, many have managed to master and keep their powers righteously. They can be used for solving major issues, or even for fun, with little to no collateral damage.
At this point, you may be asking, who am I? I'm indeed an Everything.
I'm a human being.
And I'm also part-alicorn.
But most importantly, I'm the King of the Ditto. Yes, the very species of the Pocket Monster, Ditto.
And I exist as two people, and as the same person, on both "0" and "105".
I'm Raymond Nuñez, or Ray for short. And I'm also m3Atl0afman, m3At for short. Living a separate life in alternate realities. And we're both aware of each other's existence. Ray has black hair and wears a pair of glasses, and is commonly seen in dark clothing. He lives in the Real Universe. m3At has brown hair and often, if not all the time, wears a golden trenchcoat, silver pants and golden top hat with a dark gold puggaree and lives in Universe-105. We technically share the same names, but refer to each other as Ray and m3At respectively to distinct ourselves with others. While we are both the same person, we also share many differences. m3At, for a notable example, to his and everyone's knowledge, does not have any known biological family members. For the current time. Instead he has his best friend, a Golden Ditto who possesses extraordinary abilities unlike other common Ditto, and represents his status as King. And he also has Goddess Cria, his "Guardian Goddess" who is always there to help him on his journeys in any world. Ray in the Real World, is a normal, everyday average teen, who possesses surprisingly leader-like qualities, and has one important goal in life: to become famous via acting and animation. At the moment however, the internet and his many friends are all he has to support his goals. Not that he has any problem with it. Regardless, both Ray and m3At have gotten themselves into all kinds of crazy and exciting adventures that defined them as their true, lovable selves. But some adventures in particular led into, little would they know, some of the most important moments in their lives.
The F.U.N. Channel is a team name coined by Ray after a massive multiversal alien invasion occurred in the Real World, and four other worlds. From these worlds came their heroes: Ray-Brendan, a Pokémon Trainer and Champion of Hoenn who strives for success with his team; Hyper Blossom, a hyperactive young teenage girl known out-of-costume as Momoko Akatsutsumi, the self-proclaimed leader of her Japan-based team of heroines known as the Powerpuff Girls Z; Konata Izumi, an average otaku girl from the Saitama Prefecture of Japan who lives in the same world as Blossom, but shares many similarities with Real World Ray; Yugi Mutou, a young teenager from Domino City, Japan whose body inherits the spirit of an ancient Egyptian nameless Pharaoh, known commonly as Yami Yugi, who together became the undisputed King of Games; and the most important member of all who soon played a big role in Ray/m3At's life: Twilight Sparkle, a young unicorn pony (at the time), who represents the Element of Magic, making her the leader of the Elements of Harmony, and faithful student to the royal Princess of Equestria, Princess Celestia.
Together as one united team, they defeated these strange aliens known as "Omnions" and managed to defeat the evil, corrupted side of Omnius, the holder of the Omniverse, and restored him to his rightful good self. (He is the one that keeps every universe, ours included, afloat. Should his soul no longer live or exist, every world would soon fall apart into non-existence.) This all really happened, but no one except ourselves and every important being from our worlds who actually helped us save existence is allowed to remember these events in order to restore the worlds to what they were before the invasion.
But this wouldn't be that last time Ray saw his new friends.
A little while after the invasion-situation ended, m3At was accidentally transported to the land of Equestria, temporarily stripped of his Everything Powers and access to his Golden Ditto. (And for only a short time, Goddess Cria.) He also found himself in a new alicorn pony body, which at first was powerless, and he did not know how to use his wings. After a meeting with Twilight and her friends, he quickly became a new member of the Mane Six, and soon found himself learning new tricks with his new body with the help of Twilight and Rainbow Dash, his teachers of magic and flight respectively and his new best friends. And soon after, he began solving everyday friendship issues in Equestria, making friends with every good citizen he came upon, and with the Elements of Harmony, even defeated any evil or obstacle that tried to overthrow the land. His new life in this new world wasn't too easy at first, but as time grew by, m3At realized that his belief in himself and his multiversal extended family and friends among other things was the reason he's able to overcome his foes and become a great person. He, with the help of his Equestrian friends, eventually found his way home to Universe-105, and even then, they all knew it would be the last time they met.
Ray and m3At, after other adventures in their own worlds, would later meet them again, along with the other multiversal heroes of The F.U.N. Channel, for other world-saving missions. Evil Viruses in disguise? Rulers of Chaos? No problem for this now strong and heroic team. Eventually, certain events have led Ray and m3At into what their lives are today. m3At now hangs out with his friends in Universe-105 everyday, getting into strange, yet exhilarating adventures as tradition would have it, and even those take more than just one author alone to tell the tales of! Ray, while still living his normal life in the Real World, now, believe or not, has, of all people in the entire omniverse, or rather of all ponies, Rainbow Dash as his best friend and roommate. No jokes. Huh, seems Rainbow taken QUITE a liking to Ray and m3At over the courses of their adventures. Twilight, now an alicorn pony and a Princess of Equestria, also regularly visits the two via world-traveling, which Ray and m3At commonly do every now and again. So much that they both refer to Equestria as a literal "second" home. And of course with them at Ray's side, his adventures with his Real World friends are even more exciting as ever. And it also helps that he and m3At can share their powers individually and his out-of-universe friends can all be disguised to look like "Real World" civilians. It seems at this point in both their lives, Ray and m3At couldn't be more powerful, figuratively and literally, and any more happier.
…..

….Unfortunately however, that's all going to change very soon….
Chapter 1: Stolen Recollection!
It is a peaceful and serene morning. The sky and sun are bright, the suburban neighborhood of New York was quiet, and the birds were peacefully flapping and chirping, while not disturbing the peace. Even one teenager was still happily sound asleep to all this, to his delight. Then, it was only a short matter of time until...
DING!
"Gah! Holy crud! What was that!?" screamed a surprised Ray, suddenly awoken from peaceful slumber, eyes fully widened. He looked over to see who or what the huge disturbance was. And unsurprising, it was none other than his very own roommate. His multi-dimensional pegasus-pony roommate. In full human form and flying in midair with a hand-sized bell.
"Mornin', sleepyhead! Ha," Rainbow Dash greeted. "Thought I wake you up for a change, today!"
"I was gonna wake up in a few minutes, anyways," he insisted. "I had an alarm set up."
"Well, does your alarm include a built-in pegasus chiming a bell to wake her roomie up?" she responded.
"Well, no..." he said. "What is that bell, anyways?"
"Oh this was from awhile back for last year's Winter Wrap Up. Used it to wake up any pegasus that slept on the job. And would you know it, I had to use it alot."
"Oh, well alright then," said Ray. "Um...thanks for the wake-up chime."
"Don't mention it, bro!" she said. She put the bell down atop his nearby drawers and floated over to him, uncovering his blanket. "Time for another new day!"
"Right," he said enthusiastically. He looked at his watch to check the date. Upon doing so, he suddenly realized something.
"...R-Rainbow Dash?" he said.
"Huh? What's up, bro?" she asked curiously.
"T-today. Today is...today is June 15th."
"Yeah. It's summer man!" she said. "The sun's out, the water's are roaring to be surfed, and these bodies of ours are all ready for every last second of it!"
"Yeah but...don't you remember what today is?"
"What? I...uh...actually no. Sorry."
"Rainbow Dash...today is the day we all first met! One year ago! The invasion happened! And then I saw the heroes I admired from other worlds, including you guys! And that's...that's when I met you guys too! And we saved the multiverse from destruction! Then afterwards, m3At, the other me, went to Equestria, and then after that, we all became permanent friends to the point of being multidimensional family, and then you became my roommate, and then we defeated many more evils, and...dude! All of that happened in just ONE YEAR! And today's the day it all started! I...I can't believe it!" Ray suddenly began gasping for air, still trying to comprehend in an excited attitude that it's been one full year since the day they all have met.
"It's...it's been one year?" she said and she rubbed her hand against his back, coming to terms with what he said. "Wow, time flies fast. Almost as fast as me. I...I can't believe it either dude. It felt like so long too, but also sort of fast. Look what we accomplished in just 365 days. We saved many worlds. We defeated and reformed evils. I even got to meet other people from other dimensions who are fast as me. And you guys all stood by me too."
"Rainbow Dash...this isn't just any normal summer day. This...is a day that we must celebrate!" Ray declared with pride. "...But how...what could we do, Rainbow?"
"Hmm..." she said, "...well, I guess I would do the one thing Pinkie Pie would do in this situation!"
"...Oh dear. You don't mean...?" Ray asked his roommate.
"...Oh, I mean, Raymond," said Rainbow Dash, in a very seductive-sounding voice. "And we're gonna need lots...and LOTS...of cider."
"MULTI-DIMENSION CELEBRATION PARTY!" the two shouted at the top of their lungs excitingly.
With that, the two quickly rushed out of the bedroom. Rainbow Dash rushed herself into the shower at Mach Speeds, while Ray quickly began making toast and coffee for the two of them. After a few minutes, Rainbow Dash rushed out at lightning speed with her clean new human clothes on, as the two switched places. Rainbow Dash grabs the now finished toast slices and slaps some grape jelly on all four, and soon after pours two bowls of cereal for them both. She then grabs the milk from the fridge and poured two cups of coffee, followed by pouring milk in both the coffee and in the cereal bowls. She then mixes an appropriate amount of cream and sugar into both coffees, and places spoons in the cereal bowls. As that happens, Ray quickly spun out from the restroom fast, completely cleansed and in his trademark black clothing, all for a brand-new day. He rushes to the kitchen to pick up his cereal bowl, toast and coffee and Rainbow does the same, and they arrive at the dining table in no time at all. Ray then deactivated the stopwatch feature on his wristwatch.
"...Well?" asked Rainbow with anxiety.
"...20 seconds flat, baby," he replied, smiling. "10 seconds flat for each of our switch-overs. We never lose our touch!"
"Booyah!" she shouted. "It's weird for me to say this, but I'm surprised we managed to even get clean and clothed this fast!"
"I'm more surprised that our food and coffee all got ready in less than a minute," he said. "They would usually take a couple of minutes. ...If I didn't rig the toaster and coffee maker with a quick-time spell."
"Dude, that's great!" she said, amazed. " Your magic is getting better every time you use it. And you hardly use it compared to, well, the other you. Heh, with enough practice, you may even outclass Twilight if you're lucky. And that's saying something, man."
"Twilight?" said Ray. "Nah, she'll always be the best no matter what. She IS the Element of Magic after all."
"But don't you possess the qualities of all the elements?"
"Well, yeah, but it's not just the Elements that makes us powerful, Rainbow. It's who we are, and the choices we make. Twilight is the best because she practices every day whenever she can, and has proved it too. And think of yourself. You're ALWAYS flying and practicing, Rainbow Dash. Whether it be in Equestria, or in this world. Or even in another by occasion. You always train in flight, and you learn different life qualities every day too. You can fly as fast as Sonic can run, literally. You even still train in fighting and self-defense, and you're a blackbelt. Why do you keep doing it all? You keep doing so because you and Twilight know you can become better. And they'll always be something out there that'll encourage you guys to be even more better than before."
Rainbow was in her seat, silent for a long moment, deeply thinking.
"Rainbow, look at me."
She looks up at his face, and into his eyes.
"You guys, to me, are always awesome, and will always be the best. When we first met, and even today and probably beyond, you guys teach me valuable lessons and give me the opportunity to explore all kinds of new experiences. I look up to you guys, I really do. And nothing will change that. You'll always be engraved in my memories. And if anything ever came to interfere with it, we can ALWAYS overcome it. And we've proved it time and again by sitting at this table right now, eating this nutritious breakfast. ...You're the best, Rainbow Dash."
Rainbow began to feel big beatings in her chest. It was coming from her heart. She had literally never been more moved or deeply heartfelt, until hearing that. She always knew she could come to either version of Ray for help, adventures, and a buddy to be with if nopony else was around or busy. But she always knew there was something special about him that made him who he was and why she never feels conflict being with him. And it's probably because he never looks down upon life. He always looked towards the better, brighter side of anything. And when he's down, his family and friends pick him up off the ground and help him rejuvenate his spirit. And she knows he would do the same for her and her friends. Because he always sees and believes in their inner values.
"...Ray." She quickly wrapped her human arms around him, hugging him, while at the same time trying to hold back from tearing up. She had never been spoken to about herself and the others in that sincere way before. "...Thank you."
"You're welcome, Rainbow Dash," he replied happily. "No matter what, I'll alway remember you and the others. And I'll never stop fighting until we can all live in perfect harmony."
Rainbow grew a heartwarming smile on her face.
"Now come on, Rainbow. Let's eat up."
"Right," she said as she picked up her toast. She began eating it as quickly as possible.
"Hmm...so a multidimensional party with our many friends throughout the...well, multiverse," wondered Ray as he began eating his cereal. "Where do we even start?"
"...I can help with that," said a familiar sounding voice.
"Huh?" said Ray as he quickly looked behind himself. The strangely similar sounding voice belonged to none other than...himself. It was his other self from the other world, m3Atl0afman, who had appeared out of nowhere.
"m3Atl0afman!?" he shouted in surprise. At this point, Rainbow Dash had a gleeful grin on it as well. "Wow! What are you doing here?"
"Well I realized today's the one year anniversary of that invasion, aka when we met all those awesome multiversal friends. And I thought, why not party? And then I realized you guys have the same intentions, and well, you're definitely gonna need my help."
"You know already?" Ray asked his counterpart.
"Remember, we share the same thoughts," he said, pointing to his forehead. "I can read your mind if I wanted to at any point. Or our mind rather."
"Figures great minds think alike!" said Rainbow Dash, who at that point was gazing in awe.
"Or maybe A great mind, rather!" Ray said jokingly. m3At and Rainbow smirked at this.
"So you guys are throwing a party, and plan on inviting every important person we ever met in any universe ever?" asked m3At.
"Uh...I uh, guess that's the idea," said Ray.
"I'm assuming this party, in that case, is not being held here, right? I mean, a party with way over 40 people can't possibly fit in this apartment.
"...Now that you mention it, I agree," Ray said, looking around his small apartment, while eating toast.
"Yeah, I guess we'll need a bigger place," said Rainbow as she sipped on her coffee. "But where?"
"...Ahem."
Both Ray and Rainbow Dash looked directly at the throat-clearing m3At, both now thinking the same thoughts as him.
"What guy has two thumbs, and a huge, customizable mansion filled with Dittos and always has the capability of hosting parties, anytime?" he asked the two roommates. He stuck his thumbs in the air and said "This guy~!" The two then smiled at him.
"Of course! How could I forget!" said Ray. "So you're completely fine with that man?"
"Yeah, bro," m3At replied. "Anything for...myself. Heh."
"Well then, what are we waiting on!?" said Rainbow Dash as she quickly gobbled down all of her breakfast and finished her coffee. (In ten seconds flat no less. ….Hey she's Rainbow Dash.) "Let's get a move on! Time's a'wastin'! Let start preparing for a rockin' party!"
"Oh! Right!" said Ray as he quickly gobbled down his breakfast as well.
"I'll help ya," said m3At as he drank his counterpart's coffee as soon as possible. From seeing this, Rainbow had an understandably weird look on her face. But she smirks soon after, happily saying:
"...Everything's relative."
Meanwhile, in an unknown but dark location...
"...Hmm. Guess it's that time of the month, again. Sure am gettin' hungry...but where to today? If I don't have enough, I might not even make it through the day..."
This mysterious voice belonging to a shadowy figure then opened up a visual portal. It looked through the dark areas of the multiverse, searching for whatever it apparently needs to contain its "hunger"...
"Hmm...nice place they have here...oooh, well well well, what do we have here?"
The visual portal then opened up to reveal the inside of the mansion of m3Atl0afman in Universe-105. The figure looked even closer inside to see what it holds.
"Alright guys," said m3At in the main dining room to Ray, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle (who is now with them, in her Humanized form no less). "I just instructed all my Dittos to prepare the entire place with everything we need. They'll all be back individually in about two hours. Our job until then is to send out invitations to every person. Hopefully they'll be available. It's a Saturday, so they HAVE to be. Afterwards, we'll meet back in this spot to get everything all organized. Ready, guys?"
"Ready!" said Twilight with courage in her voice.
"Gotcha!" said Rainbow, spreading her wings.
"Of course," said Ray, adjusting his glasses.
"Well alright then! Let's do this!" said m3At.
The three then split off in different directions. The mysterious figure, witnessing all of this, began thinking.
"Hmm...a get together between friends, huh? Interesting...I always love private parties. ….Consider me on the guest list...heheheheheheheheh..." The figure then began scheming to itself as it shrouded itself in pure darkness.
Meanwhile, with our heroes...
"Man, this is gonna be SWEET!" said Rainbow excitingly, flying through the air on the world of Everything. "I can't wait to re-meet all those other heroes after so long! And in a time where the multiverse isn't in any danger, no less! Maybe I can even race against Sonic again if there's time...WAIT A MINUTE, what am I saying? Of course there'll be time! We're the fastest things alive! Haha!" She began doing a lot of happy, swift barrel rolls in mid-air. She then continued flying peacefully until she remembered what she had been told earlier by her best friend and roommate.
/"It's not just the Elements that makes us powerful, Rainbow. It's who we are, and the choices we make."/
"Our choices..." she said to herself.
/"You guys, to me, are always awesome, and will always be the best. I look up to you guys, I really do. And nothing will change that. You'll always be engraved in my memories."/
"Always in our memories. You're always my friend..."
/"And if anything ever came to interfere with it, we can ALWAYS overcome it."/
"Yeah...nothing's more powerful than us."
/"You're the best, Rainbow Dash."/
"Yes...I am the best...and so are you, my friend." She grew a warm smile as she flew off faster."
"I'll never forget you..."
She then began to fly to off even faster. She took out a white Wii remote from her hoodie pocket and pressed the A button, opening up a portal to Equestria.
"Time to tell everypony back at home." She flew straight into it, and it soon closed.
Twilight, back in the mansion, was experimenting with m3At's computer.
"This is some new tech," she said. "So, how do I work this again?"
"It's just like any other that you've worked with, Twilight," said m3At, now entering the room she was in. "I assure you. Okay, so since Rainbow is in charge of spreading the word throughout Equestria, your job is to spread the word of the party to every other important world. Right now you're looking at a special email interface. And on the left of the screen are every single contact that you need to send the invitations to. You'll forward it to every single one of them. Simple as that! All you really need to do is create the invitation! Please make it as warm and inviting as possible, please."
"Warm and inviting, eh? I guess I can do just that!" said Twilight, confidently.
"Great, thanks Twi!" said m3At. "Oh, and one more thing." He took out his alicorn horn from nowhere and casted a spell on the computer. A sudden attachment appeared on the email Twilight was about to begin typing.
"What's that?" she asked curiously.
"If they decide on coming to the party, they're gonna need a way over here of course!" said m3At. "If they click on that one-time use attachment spell, they'll instantly pop into this universe. Took me six weeks to perfect that spell, and it's not easy. Make sure each invite has one please."
"You can count on me, Ray! No worries!" said Twilight, giving him a salute. "All my computer training in the other Ray's world and in Equestria will definitely pay off!"
"Thanks Twily," said m3At, smiling. "Really."
"You're wel-" She was cut off by a quick hug m3At was suddenly giving her. She also wrapped her arms around him happily in response.
"I'll be back later," he said. He left the room to locate his counterpart somewhere else in the mansion.
Ray was in m3At's bedroom, jotting on a notepad with a golden quill pen on his bed.
"Hey man," said m3At as he entered his own room, suspecting that he would be there. "...Whatcha got there?"
"This here is a list of ideas I have for the schedule of this event," he said as he showed off his notepad. m3At took it from him and looked through it. "If we're gonna have an ultimate party, we need to have it convention style. And I think you would agree based on past events, am I right?"
"This is an impressive idea," m3At said. "Gonna have to agree there."
"I'm not exactly sure what times they'll all be yet, but it's all just a concept idea. You see, this one here is an autographing booth. Everyone takes a turn stepping into it and the other guests line up to do exactly what it says on the tin. This one here is what I call "Flashback Marathon", where we play actual episodes from their shows or games so that everyone could relive the memories of their adventures. It would also improve other's respect on whoever is-"
"Hey uh, bro."
Ray adjusted his glasses. "...Yeah?"
"I kinda need to say a few words."
"About what?"
"What you said about Rainbow and Twilight earlier. I heard all of it. I think you said all the right words. And you're definitely right."
"Oh, yeah. I uh...thanks man. I seriously meant it, of course."
"Yeah yeah, I know. Heh, would you lie to yourself?"
"...Good point."
m3At put his hand on Ray shoulder. "Aibou. Let's always make sure to defend our worlds and our families from any crackhead that decides to split us apart or are otherwise dangerous."
"...Right." Ray said. "Now, let's kick back bro."
"Right," m3At said, smiling. "Let's make this schedule thing work."
At that point, Twilight had suddenly finished the invitations, typing at lightning speed. She laid back in her chair, stretching out her fingers. "Wooo...well that's done with. Okay, now to see if these fingers are strong enough to press the 'Send' button..." She clicked said button and instantly, the invitation was sent to every contact, throughout every target universe. "My body AND brain needs a bath..."
Meanwhile...
A girl in a golden dress with long sleeves opened up her laptop on her desk and began checking her emails. There was a sudden 'Ping!' as soon as she opened her inbox.
"Huh? What's this?" She opened up the new email labeled "ANNIVERSARY PARTY OPEN NOOOOW!".
"If you're reading this, you're officially invited to our TFC Anniversary Party! And we're really hoping that you can make it! We're going to be doing all kinds of stuff, so why not come join us for many spectacular events? You can catch up with all of your teammates after so long, and in a situation that doesn't involve the destruction of our worlds. You can play party games, you can get down and dirty (on the dance floor!), sing to your heart's content in our karaoke room, you can witness Rainbow Dash's special aerial anniversary show along with her famed Sonic Rainboom, now with her new aerial team of flyers, and even participate in video game and trading card game tournaments, and moooore! If you wanna join in, there's an attachment in this email that will instantly take you to the party's location in the great m3Atl0afman's mansion on the world of Everything. Be sure to be ready before you click it, it'll work once and only once. Hope to you all there!
~Twilight Sparkle & m3Atl0afman"
"A party, huh?" said the girl. "Count me in. Maybe I could retry what I was trying to do last time, for fun."
Later that day...
All the Dittos had returned with all the supplies, each setting them up in all the appropriate areas in the mansion while transformed as men in blue jumpsuits. m3At was directing other Dittos on the ground as to where certain props needed to be placed, and Ray was conversing with Twilight in the living room area of the mansion. (Dittos were also in the room setting up the video game consoles to the TVs.)
"Alright Twilight," said Ray, "Is everything pretty much set in stone?"
"Yup!," she said. "Now we just need to wait on Rainbow Dash. I hope she's not taking too long..."
"DON'T. EVER. SAY. I'm 'taking too long.'"
Rainbow Dash was suddenly at the window still, giving them a thumbs-up.
"Rainbow!" said Twilight. "I knew you'd be back in time."
"As Trixie would say, was there ever any doubt?" said Rainbow. "I brought with me everyone who's important from Equestria. They're all downstairs."
"Awesome!" said Ray. "In that case, I should go get Pinkie and Vinyl. We'll especially need their help here." He then left the room as Rainbow Dash entered through the window. Twilight looked at Rainbow, then around the entire room, and then back at Rainbow.
"Rainbow Dash," she said. Rainbow looked at her.
"...You ever wondered what our lives would be like if we had never met Ray, m3At and all the others?"
"Good question. ….I'm not really sure. I guess the same? Only it's boring."
"...I guess. Unless you put into account all those situations with Discord...twice. And the other villains."
"Yeah, but we can take care of those guys somehow. ….Eventually. …..Okay okay, I don't where we would be if Ray and m3At and the others hadn't helped. But then again, I don't want to. I like both of them and the bright future we've accomplished with them."
"Agreed Rainbow," said Twilight. "Let's just enjoy ourselves."
One hour later...the party finally begun.
All the Dittos had become either butlers, heavily-bodied security guards (for extra precautions), or janitors that for some reason bore striking resemblances to Stan Lee.
"Dude," said Ray to m3At, who were both in the lobby near the mansion's entrance. "We actually pulled it off. EVERYONE FREAKING CAME! EVERYOOOONE."
"I know man!" said m3At. "This is sweet! Rainbow is getting ready for that aerial show, Vinyl's upstairs pumping up the dance floor, Yugi is playing his way through that tournament unsurprisingly, Konata is beating all her opponents in that Smash Bros. tourney, everything is pretty much perfect! We're having a lot of good luck today!"
"True that, true that," agreed Ray.
"Hey bro," said Lorenzo (from the 'Real World') to Ray, "You have GOT to see upstairs. Haruhi and Applejack are having a dance off!"
"Oh sweet!" said Ray. "We gotta get that recorded!"
"Hey bro," said Lorenzo (Universe-105) to m3At, "You need to get up there now, Yuma and Yusei are having an argument over the way Xyz monsters are summoned. It's been going on for 6 minutes."
"Ah man, again with that?" m3At said, facepalming.
"Gotta go man," both Ray and m3At said to each other, as they both ran with their respective Lorenzo's in different directions.
In the game room, two girls were sitting down on a couch watching Konata Izumi beating the crud out of all her opponents in the Smash Bros. tourney.
"She's gotten a lot better than last time," one of the girls said, who was wearing glasses.
"As if she wasn't already hard to defeat," the other said.
"Well, looks like this is gonna be a contest for claiming second place," said the girl with glasses.
"Pretty much," said the other girl. "So Lex, is everything ready to go?"
"Yeah, but...are you sure you wanna do this again?" asked Lexi. "You know what happened last time."
"Yeah, but it turned out to be a good thing! And I perfected the trick this time. It took me 4 months, and I tried it out on Crazy. He's been eating healthy under my command for weeks." She stuck out her tongue at this statement.
"Well I guess if everything goes fine," said Lexi, "I have no issues with this. Just watch yourself, alright Authoress?"
"Gotcha," said Authoress.
In the TCG Tournament room...
"So in conclusion, Xyz monsters can be summoned as long as the duelist has the needed monsters with the same Levels on the field, no matter what," said m3At. "Also they have Ranks, which are totally not Levels. Is that clear guys?"
"...Well I guess that sounds reasonable enough," said Yusei, who had Junk Warrior on his field.
"Booyah!" said Yuma, who had summoned Number 39: Utopia. "Let the game continue!"
m3At sighed and said "Thank Arceus."
"Hey m3Atl0afman!"
"Huh? Oh, hey Yugi! Long time no see!"
"Same here," said Yugi. "Nice party you guys got going on here!"
"Thanks!" said m3At. "I see you're easily plowing your way through the tourney."
"Thankfully," said Yugi. "I was worried that with all these duelists with new decks, we'd have a lot of trouble. None of them has managed to beat me yet. Looks like an all-original deck, in the right hands and right beliefs, can't be beat."
"Agreed all the way," the King of the Ditto said to the King of Games.
In the relaxation room...
"Applejack, that was insane!" Ray complemented. "I can't believe you tied with Haruhi!"
"Me neither, partner," said Applejack, who was in human form, as she stuck her tired bare feet in a tub of hot water. She moaned in relaxation at this.
Lorenzo was showing them the entire dance-off on his camera.
"That was awesome, Applejack!" Lorenzo said. "I also can't believe you even tied with her! How do you even tie with HARUHI SUZUMIYA of all people!? I mean look at this chiz!"
"I don't think anyone's gonna forget that anytime soon," said Ray. "If anything, at all."
"Nice to know that," said Applejack."That's how we do it on Sweet Apple Acres, fillies!"
"Right on," agreed Ray. At that point, he received a text message. He opened his phone, read it, and placed it back in the pocket. "Hey guys, I just got a message saying to come down to the kitchen. Lorenzo, stay with Applejack 'till I get back."
"Oh, I'll be more than glad to," said Lorenzo with a smirk on his face.
"...Right," said Ray. He then turn about face and ran off.
As soon as Ray left, Lorenzo turned over to Applejack and slowly placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Hands off, Lone Star," Applejack said without turning around, knowing what he was doing.
"Right, right," he said as he quickly removed his hands from her.
Ray arrived in the kitchen area. Everything seemed to be fine. All the Ditto chefs were cooking normally as usual.
"Well alright, nothing unusual is going on here," said Ray. "So why did I get text-"
At that point, Ray felt a hand slap on his back. He glowed a golden aura and was completely frozen. His eyes' pupils became all brown.
"Haha, it worked this time!" said Authoress. "Told ya it would work."
"Okay okay," said Lexi, "But now-hey wait, you got the wrong guy."
"Huh?" said Authoress, who now noticed her victim. "Ah man, this is the wrong m3At! This is "Real World" him!" She then slapped his back again, cancelling her trick. He then returned to his normal self.
"What the freak happened..." Ray said, coming to his senses.
"Sorry about that Ray," Authoress apologized. "I thought you would be the other you."
"It's fine," he said, "Just make sure you have the right guy next time-wait a minute...are you trying to do that body-controlling thing again?"
"Um...maybe?" she said, now nervous.
"Dude!" he said. "Come on, can't you take a break from that? We don't want a repeat situation! That was for plot convenience, not for constant fun."
"Yeah, I don't think that's gonna work on Authoress," Lexi said. "She knows not the difference between responsibility or fun."
"Of course I do!" Authoress said. "Uh...uh...see the difference...eh...help me out here Lexi."
"You're on your own with that, Authoress," said Lexi.
Ray took out the phone he had in his pocket. "Oh, no wonder!" he said. "I got my phone mixed up with m3At's earlier before the party started. That text message must've been meant for him instead."
"What is it with you and bad luck at having top speed and accuracy in writing your future plans, Authoress?" asked Lexi.
"You tell me, Ms. Long Hiatus," she cleverly replied. Lexi couldn't find anyway to reply to this.
"Alright then," said Ray, "If you'll excuse me, I have a couple of friends to return to before I catch one of them doing something he shouldn't be doing to the other." He ran out the kitchen with that.
m3At was in the men's room in front of the mirrors, checking his phone. "...Hey wait a minute, this is the other me's phone! Darn it, we must've mixed them up earlier. Oh well."
At that point, a toilet flushed in one of the stalls. Out of that stall came out...Kaoru Matsubara?
"What the-Kaoru!?" m3At shouted, surprised. This is the men's room!
"Yeah I know," she said, washing her hands at the sink next to him.
"...And uh, the girls' room is next door," he said.
"Uhuh," she said, not fazed as she dried her hands at the hand drier.
"So why are you in here?" m3At said.
"Ya think I wanna hang around in there with Momoko and Miyako constantly talking about AND doing girly-girl things?"
"...Okay, you've made your point," he said.
"See ya outside," she said as she exited.
"...Well, that was...something," he said to himself. At that point, another toilet flushed. It was...Derpy Hooves in human form.
"DERPY!? Why are you in here?"
"Oh, I saw her go in here, so I thought why not do the same?" she said as she washed and dried her hands. "You guys have some cool mints in here by the way!" She left immediately after saying that.
"Mints? Whoa, wait Derpy!" he shouted as he quickly left the room. "Those aren't mints, those are aspri-ah never mind."
Outside, near the mansion...
"Alright team," said Rainbow Dash to her flying team, who were all Dittos transformed as humanized pegasus mares and colts. "Are we ready to rock this world!?"
"Yeauh!" they all said to her as they all spread out their wings.
"Hey Rainbow Dash," said a voice familiar to her. She turned and saw who it was.
"Hey Sonic!" she said excitedly as she (in human form, mind you) hoofbumped his fist. "Glad you could make it man!"
"Same here," he said. "Good luck with your performance. Really. Maybe afterwards, we can hang out or something."
"You got it, bro," she said, smiling. "And thanks."
"Rainbow Dash?" another familiar voice said. Rainbow and Sonic turned to see who it was. It was none other than Scootaloo, on her scooter. (In human form, no less!)
"Hey there, lil' sis!" said Rainbow. "Excited for what you're about to see!"
"Very!" she said. "You always excite me no matter what, Rainbow!"
"Always glad to hear that, Scoots," said Rainbow. "Maybe one day, you'll be with me side by side in the skies."
"Really?" she said with a huge grin on her face. "I can't WAIT for that day! I promise I'll be like you when it comes to flying, Rainbow! But for now, I'll just stick with my scooter. See ya later! I gotta meet back up with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle in the sidelines!" With that, she rode off.
"Glad to see you keep your best friends and fans close to you," said Sonic.
"Yup, always will," she said to the hedgehog. "Well, guess it's time for a show!"
"Good luck again!" he said as he ran off to join the sidelines.
"Thanks!" Rainbow Dash said. "Let's do this thing." She put on her goggles, confidently.
Back inside the mansion...
Authoress ran up to the floor m3At was on, and instantly spotted him. "Aha! Time to correct my error!"
Suddenly, m3At's eyes widened. His Guardian Goddess was trying to contact him.
"Huh?" he said. "Cria, what is it?"
/"m3At...I'm seeing something dangerous...it's...it's coming to you!"/ she warned in his head.
"What!?" he said. Suddenly, m3At ran off, right before Authoress could even use her trick.
"DARN IT! COME BACK HERE!" she shouted as she ran after him.
The two ran down towards the main lobby. Ray, who was still making his way up to Applejack and his world's Lorenzo, noticed them. First he sighed because of Authoress's desire to enact her plan, but then he noticed a serious look on m3At's face. He wasn't exactly running from Authoress. He was running TO something. He called his Lorenzo on m3At's phone and said: "Bro, I think you guys might wanna come down here." He hung up and then ran after the two. The three were now in the main lobby.
"Bro, what's wrong?" Ray asked m3At.
"Something bad's about to happen," he said. "'Least that's what Cria told me."
Authoress slowly put her hands down, assuming it was her. "What kind of 'bad'?
"Real bad," he replied with a serious look.
Twilight, ran inside to all of them. "Guys, Rainbow and her team are about to fly off!" she said, "What's wrong?"
"A bad thing is gonna happen..." said Ray.
Suddenly, as he finished saying that, a huge black flash was seen, and a piercing sound can be heard all throughout the mansion, and even from outside. Rainbow Dash was about to take off to start her show until she heard the sound. Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered in the main lobby to see what was happening. The black flash soon turned into a dark black portal. Demonic lightning strikes can be heard from inside of it. m3At, Ray, Authoress, Lexi, both Lorenzo's, and the Mane Six all gathered around in front, readying themselves for whatever dark entity was about to enter their gathering.
From the portal, came a strange being that looked like a teenage human being. It was wearing a purple mask with big yellow eyes (one side of the mask was light purple, the other was darker purple), a gray zipped-up hoodie with the hood up on his head, orange gloves, dark jeans and sneakers, and a strange purple cape riding around his shoulders. Upon the forehead of his mask, was a strange star-like symbol with 8-pointed tips in an octagon. He was glowing a completely dark aura.
"Heheheheheheh...I finally arrived. I always like being 'fashionably late'..."
"Who are you?" asked m3At. "We know you aren't here to have fun, so start talking."
"Oh believe me," said the being, "We WILL have plenty of fun. It's a party after all. And I'm absolutely CRAVING for fun."
To Be Continued in Chapter 2: Challenge to Oblivion!
Okay, so first off, this takes place after 'TFC: Unite!' and 'm3At's Little Pony'. No, 'm3At's Little Pony' is not over. There's still many chapters to get up. I put the story on a temporary hiatus due to personal issues and scheduling conflicts. Now that those are all out of the way, the next chapter will be up in some time. But for now, this is something I wanted and needed to do. I needed to do this because I knew "Equestria Girls" was going to conflict with my stories, and I wasn't just gonna have that since I intend to keep m3At's Little Pony set in the 'canon' MLP:FiM universe. You'll see exactly how I intend on doing this next chapter. I'll try my best to release one chapter per week.
I also wanted to do this, because the story arc that m3At and Ray are about to experience is something I've been wanting to write after a long time, but I just didn't know how to pull it off. And then I thought, why not make this story that was supposed to fill in plotholes more interesting? You'll also see what I mean in following chapters. I like sounding mysterious...hehheh.
I'll post more info on this story arc later on. Just wanna get this uploaded now.
