LEGEND OF EVERFREE

THE OMNI FORCE CROSSOVER

"Whoa…" Luffy uttered in astonishment upon seeing the levitating objects alongside Sting. Both of them were surprised to see the state of affairs, especially the latter as he saw that neither of the two girls before them were even ponied up.

"Uh… milady?" he chimed in out of concern, catching their attentions as they turned to see them there, "What's… goin' on here?" he asked while walking up to them.

"I don't know…" Sunset answered honestly, seeing the tube of sunscreen, her ponytailed friend's socks, and her dog all floating within the mystical, violet aura. She then looked over at the girl herself, seeing the grimace upon her face as she bit her bottom lip. "Did you do this?" she questioned to her, making her perk up in surprise, "How is this possible?" she added out of confusion as she glanced around the tent.

"Uh… h-help!" Lector stammered while floating above with the sparkling aura around him, catching the attention of his pal, who immediately jumped up and grabbed him to pull him down.

"I can't believe this…" Twilight uttered frightfully, having her arms close to her chest, "It's..." she began to say.

"Amazing!" the Omni Force squadron leader exclaimed.

"Terrible!" the glasses-wearing girl cried out simultaneously, followed by all the objects floating about dropping back into regular positions.

"WAH!" Spike yelped as he was about to hit the floor on his bed. However, a pair of outstretched arms caught him just in time, enticing him to look and see that the Devil Fruit user had saved him.

"You good, pal?" he asked him with a cheeky smile, making the animal narrow his eyes onto him.

"Uh, yeah," he responded bluntly, jumping out of his hands so he could reel them back to normal, "Thanks…" he reluctantly muttered in gratitude, walking over to his owner, who was still trying to comprehend what just happened.

"This is just awful!" she yelled while crossing her arms over her chest protectively.

"Are you kidding?" Sunset asked rhetorically, catching her attention, "This is great!" she stated, folding her hands outward, "I mean, we've all ponied up before," she started to explain, "gotten the whole ears and wings and tail thing," she continued, gesturing towards the specific parts of her body, "shot magical rainbow lasers," she kept listing off with outstretched arms, "but nothing like this has ever happened!" she finished excitedly while gesturing towards her.

"Can't you and Rarity do that levitating thing though?" Sting questioned, folding his arms over his chest.

"Only when we were ponied up!" the red and yellow haired girl pointed out with a wide smile, much to his surprise, "How did you do it?" she asked her glasses-wearing friend, placing her hands upon her hips.

"I don't know!" Twilight replied, shaking her head as she was evidently freaked out, "Maybe I didn't…" she said out of thought, placing her hands upon her head, "Maybe it's her!" she suggested in frightened realization.

"Huh?" Luffy uttered in confusion, tilting his head to the side, while his team leader arched an eyebrow.

"Her who?" she asked her smart pal while placing her left hand onto her shoulder, making her widen her eyes upon realizing that she had said perhaps a little too much.

"Nothing!" she responded quickly, turning around and knocking her arm away, "Never mind…" she reassured while nervously smiling, "Can we just not talk about it?" she recommended in a concerned manner, "And could you please not bring this whole levitating thing up to the others?" she asked pleadingly while waving her right arm up towards the ceiling, much to the surprise of her pals.

"Why not?" the Omni Force squadron leader questioned worriedly, holding her right arm, while her roommate turned around and trotted over to her bed.

"You heard Applejack," she pointed out, swinging her arms out in a defiant manner, "This is supposed to be the place where everyone can get away from magic," she stated as she grabbed her socks off from her bed, putting them away as the amber skinned girl and the white dragon slayer sat down upon the former's divan, "I don't want them to know I brought some crazy new kind with me…" she told them, about to head outside.

"If you really don't want us to, we won't say anything," Sunset promised as her friend opened up the tent flaps.

"I really don't…" she admitted in reply, walking off.

"Hey, wait a sec!" the pirate called out, stretching his right arm out to try and grab her. Upon noticing though, Spike leapt up and bit his appendage. "AH!" he yelped in pain, retracting his arm back, "What's the big idea?!" he yelled towards the cap-wearing animal, who just growled at him.

"Don't," he advised seriously, "She's going through a lot right now," he mentioned while glancing over towards the tent flaps, "and the last thing she needs is a pirate trying to cheer her up…" he added coldly, trotting off after his owner.

"Jeez…" the exceed uttered out of surprise. Meanwhile, the red and yellow haired girl looked to see the glasses-wearing girl heading off as her pet trotted up to her. She turned her head and shook it towards her, causing her to frown a little.

"Okay, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing!" she called out, trying to reassure her before sighing deeply.

"I don't get it," Sting confessed, scratching his left cheek in a confused manner, getting the attentions of his comrades, "Don't all of you girls have your magic?" he inquired rhetorically with an arched eyebrow, "How come Twilight's so scared about it?" he asked.

"She… got hers a little unconventionally…" Sunset responded, much to the surprise of both teens, "She's not one who really wants to have it after what happened back then…" she told them, folding her arms over her chest with a concerned expression. Just then, she felt a hand come onto her left shoulder, being the white dragon slayer's as he smiled at her in a reassuring manner.

"Don't worry, milady," he said as she looked at him in astonishment, "We're here to help," he declared with a clenched right fist.

"You bet!" Lector agreed while nodding, causing her to giggle and smile.

"Thanks, guys," she responded out of gratitude, "Though you're still using that nickname, Sting…" she pointed out with a sly expression, making him blush in realization before smacking himself in the face.

"I'm gonna go see if Twi's okay," Luffy declared, racing outside through the tent flaps.

"Ah, wait!" the anthropomorphic cat cried out worriedly, jumping down from the bed.

"It's okay," the amber skinned girl reassured to him, getting his attention before he could go after him, "Luffy'll play it cool with Spike around," she noted, seeing him going off with the others towards the lake.

"I hope so…" the red furred feline muttered, placing his paws at his hips. Meanwhile, Sunset took notice of the stray tube of sunscreen lying on the ground, curiously wondering if she could do the same form of levitation as her glasses-wearing friend.

"Eh…" she grunted, putting her left hand against her head while using her other one to try and float the object off from the ground.

"Uh, milady?" the blonde haired teen beside her uttered with an arched eyebrow, as his exceed just shrugged in confusion.

"Guh…" she sighed as her attempt had failed, "Ergh!" she grunted loudly again, clenching her teeth together and putting her fingers against her cranium, trying to levitate the tube with her mind. However, she opened her right eye to see that it wasn't working, making her sigh deeply.

"I think you're just gonna have to pick it up," Lector noted bluntly, tilting his head to the side.

"Awww…" the Omni Force squadron leader moaned disappointedly, causing the white dragon slayer to chuckle a little.

"Here, I got it," he offered as he reached his arm out and grabbed the tube, handing it off to her and making her grin.

"Thanks," she responded, taking it while touching his hand.

"She's so beautiful…" a familiar, male voice echoed in her head, causing her to blink in surprise with widened eyes, blushing afterwards.

"D-Did you say that?" she stuttered upon pulling the tube away from him, as he arched an eyebrow.

"Say what?" he asked, completely perplexed.

"Nobody said anything…" the exceed pointed out, looking over at the amber skinned girl worriedly.

"Huh?" she uttered out of confusion, turning her head away in confusion. She decided to just disregard it, standing up and flipping the tube, catching it in a smug manner. Later, she exited the tent while rubbing the sunscreen onto her arm, as both her teammate and his cat walked out with her. All of a sudden, she bumped right into Gloriosa, making her wince in pain.

"—show up like that!" a familiar, female voice yelled angrily inside of her head, much to her confusion as she stared out at the camp director.

"What did you say?" she asked her, catching her attention, while both Sting and Lector arched their eyebrows.

"I... didn't say anything," she responded slowly with a smile, "Just here to make sure everyone was headed over to the docks!" she pointed out, gesturing towards the campers who were going to the lakeside, "Did you need something?" she asked the red and yellow haired girl.

"Nope," she answered while smiling nervously, folding her arms underneath her chest.

"Because if there is anything I can do to make this week the best week ever," the freckled girl began to say, "you just let me know," she advised with a bright grin, "I've got this!" she declared in a chipper manner, pointing at herself with her left thumb.

"Heh," Sting chuckled heartily, "We're good, thanks," he reassured, enticing the maroon haired girl to wave to them before walking off.

"Hey, you feelin' all right, Sunset?" Lector asked, catching the attentions of the two Omni Force members, "I didn't hear Gloriosa say anything either…" he noted to the amber skinned girl, who narrowed her eyes in concerned thought.

"I dunno…" she replied honestly, "Maybe I'm just… hearing things…" she suggested while glancing out towards Gloriosa, whose voice definitely echoed within her head, "Still," she continued, pulling off a small grin as she saw her chatting with some other campers perkily, "people that chipper make me nervous," she admitted as the two beside her smiled.

"This is gonna be so much fun!" Pinkie suddenly exclaimed, popping up out of nowhere and embracing her friend from behind, much to her surprise before she just smirked out of amusement.

"I guess not all people," she noted with a laugh as she felt her nuzzling against her cheek.

"GROUP HUG!" Star chimed in loudly and cheerily, tackling the two girls to the ground in an instant, much to the shock of the white dragon slayer and his exceed.

"Uh, Sunset?" the latter of the two uttered out of concern, wondering if she was all right. Fortunately, she let out a chuckle while underneath her friends, pulling herself out from the pile.

"I'm good," she reassured before standing up and dusting herself off. Everyone just laughed in amusement at the scene, ready to enjoy their time at camp.

PART II

A while passed before everyone arrived at the lake, as Charizard glided up into the air, soaring with the current of wind.

"Rrah!" he exclaimed from above as his trainer just smiled down below, placing his hands at his hips.

"Oh," Rarity sighed, standing beside her best friends, "it's beautiful, isn't it?" she inquired to them, while Kyoya, Rogue, Sasuke, Sakura, Star, and Frosch all walked over, "It looks like a diamond shining in the sun!" she noted as the water before them sparkled.

"It just looks like water to me," the exceed in the group pointed out bluntly, staring ahead at it with a tilted head in confusion. The fashionista just smirked and rolled her eyes, while the black haired teen just smiled at his partner.

"RROOAAAHHH!" the Flame Pokémon roared, spewing out a torrent of flames onto the body of water below, making a cloud of steam appear over it upon contact, getting everyone's attention.

"Nice one, Charizard!" Alain complimented. Many of the students began to comment on how powerful the dragon-like creature was, causing the beyblader to seethe upon hearing them. However, his expression became a smirk, which his girlfriend took notice of seconds later.

"Kyoya…" she began in a strict tone, putting her hands at her hips, "what are ya thinkin'?" she asked him with narrowed eyes.

"Oh, nothin'…" he lied while taking out his beylauncher, along with Fang Leone from the pouch at his belt, setting it onto the device as he grinned widely, "Just havin' a little… fun!" he declared, grabbing the ripcord and yanking it back, causing the top to suddenly spin and fly off. It zoomed across the lake in a burst of wind, making the water ripple all around before blowing up in a huge spout at the center, causing drops of the liquid to fall all over the lakeside.

"AH!" Applejack yelped as she and the others were somewhat drenched by the big splash, glaring over at her boyfriend as he caught his beyblade in his hand, making it stop spinning, "KYOYA!" she screamed angrily, marching over to him, "Just what in the hay do ya think yer tryin' to do?!" she asked while getting right into his face. He just kept a smug expression, folding his arms over his chest.

"Having fun like you said I should," he answered with a shrug, much to her surprise, "Besides," he continued, glancing over to see the Fire/Flying type land down beside his master, as they both looked back at him with surprised eyes, "I can have fun my own way," he stated, trotting off while putting his hands in his pockets.

"Huh…" the blonde haired girl sighed deeply out of exasperation, heading after him.

"He sure makes things interesting…" the Pokémon trainer noted from afar with a nervous chuckle, placing his own extremities at his hips.

"Rah," his partner agreed as he nodded.

"Still, it is lovely out here," Fluttershy chimed in, catching their attentions, "The fresh air, the cool breeze," she began to list off as the wind rushed past her hair, making it flow beautifully, followed by a small blue jay landing onto her left index finger, "the birds that land on your finger…" she finished as she nuzzled her cheek against the small creature.

"I think that only happens to you," Rainbow pointed out bluntly with crossed arms upon noticing, while she just blissfully ignored her, trotting off. Her athletic friend smirked, but then saw the shy girl's boyfriend come over and take her right hand into his left, smiling at each other brightly. Their expressions caused her to suddenly frown, looking at her own extremity before closing it into a fist. "Dammit…" she cursed quietly, evidently saddened as she turned around and walked away.

"Nothing beats a week in the sun," Rogue admitted, looking up at the blue sky with a grin on his face. However, he then looked down at the lake water and gasped to see that his reflection was only a black shadow that had an evil grin and one eye shining in white. He immediately backed away in fright, breathing heavily.

"Everything all right, darling?" Rarity asked, having noticed his sudden reaction as she caught his attention.

"Uh, yeah…" he claimed in response, looking back to see his actual reflection in the liquid, making him narrow his eyes in suspicion. He then felt a pair of arms wrap around him, causing him to turn and see the fashionista glancing at him in a sly manner.

"You know," she began as he started blushing a little, "I'm planning on making a special outfit just for you…" she told him, poking him rather saucily on the nose with her left index finger.

"Uh, r-really?" he stuttered in reply, beginning to sweat nervously as she giggled.

"But of course!" she answered, taking him by the arm suddenly, "Now let's get your measurements!" she declared as she took him away in a yelp.

"Hm…" Frosch uttered worriedly upon witnessing the scene, concerned for his partner.

"Lake activities are available every day until sunset," Gloriosa explained to a few of the campers gathered around her, including Sasuke, Sakura, and Star, "so if you want to canoe, sail, windsurf, or swim," she listed off while gesturing towards the body of water, "just let me know," she advised to them.

"Oh boy! Oh boy! OH BOY!" the Mewni princess repeated excitedly, hopping up and down.

"Easy there, kiddo," the kunoichi chimed in as she finally stopped jumping, "You're going nuts over something so small…" she mentioned while folding her arms underneath her chest.

"Yeah…" the blonde haired girl agreed with rolling eyes, "but I'm doing this stuff with my friends!" she exclaimed happily, "So it's automatically fun to me!" she added, pointing to herself in a smug manner. Her roommate couldn't help but chuckle at her silliness, while the Uchiha teen beside her cracked a slight grin. As a few minutes passed by, Alain and Fluttershy were sitting upon the wood dock, tossing pieces of bread into the lake for the ducks that swam up to them. Applejack and Kyoya were coming up to it in an old canoe, where Timber was waiting for them with a rope in his hands. In the meantime, Twilight was walking up onto the scaffold while donning an orange life jacket and holding a canoe paddle, with both Spike and Luffy trailing behind her.

"Hey, you feelin' better?" the pirate asked the glasses-wearing girl, who glanced off to the side despondently.

"I don't wanna talk about it…" she replied in an upset tone while folding her arms underneath her chest, stepping up onto the wood surface.

"Hey…" the Devil Fruit user started to say, but was stopped once he felt something bite into his right ankle, "AH!" he yelped in pain, looking down to see the purple puppy chomping on his foot, glaring at him once he let him go.

"She doesn't wanna talk about it," he stated in an angered tone, making the Omni Force member grimace as he watched the smart girl go onward, trotting past the couple on the dock.

"Aren't they just the cutest?" the animal whisperer inquired to her friend, getting her attention as she turned to look over at the creatures in the water, also causing the camp supervisor to glance towards them. All of a sudden though, one of the boards beneath the ponytailed girl's feet splintered, causing her to stumble back.

"WHHAAAAHH!" she yelped loudly, falling while letting go of the paddle in her hands.

"I gotcha'!" the Gum-Gum user declared, stretching out his arms and wrapping them around her waist. At the same time, the green haired teen caught her from behind, keeping her from falling as his arms were underneath hers.

"Whoa," he uttered in surprise as he smiled, "I know I'm charming," he started to say, "but you don't have to fall for me," he joked, putting his hands at his hips.

"You okay, Twi?" Luffy's voice echoed, causing the two to look over and see his cheeky smile.

"Yeah, I'm good…" she responded with a nervous nod, blushing at the thought of being saved by two different men as they stood her up.

"That guy's quite a stretch…" Timber commented out of amazement, noticing how long the pirate's arms were as they started to unravel.

"Uh… you can let her go now," Spike chimed in with an untrusting expression towards the teen beside him.

"Yeah, just give me a sec," he responded, not even looking his way while focusing on his own matters. Frustrated with the pirate long enough, the dog nudged his left foot with a head-butt, making him stumble a little.

"Whoa!" he yelped, while his arms fully retracted. Without warning, one of the boards he stepped on snapped into splinters, causing him to fall over into the water in a splash.

"Luffy!" the glasses-wearing girl cried out worriedly, as both she and the camp supervisor rushed over to where he had fallen.

"Ha," her pet laughed, "Serves him right," he noted smugly.

"Spike!" his owner reprimanded, placing her hands at her hips in a defiant manner, much to his surprise.

"It's pretty shallow here…" the green haired teen noted, quickly jumping into the water as it only went up to his knees. He then reached in with his hands, taking hold of somethin and pulling it up with a grunt, being the Omni Force member as he gasped for air.

"Huh… huh!" he breathed quickly upon being able to sit up, "I could've died…" he muttered as Timber just sighed out of relief.

"How come you just… stayed under like that?" he asked him out of concern. He just chuckled cheekily in response, standing up while letting the water drip down from his form.

"I might be strong," he began to say, "but I sink like a rock if I ever get in water," he mentioned, much to the surprise of the ones who had witnessed the ordeal. Twilight then glanced over at the purple puppy with an upset expression, making him cringe in realization.

"Uh… whoops…" he uttered in an apologetic tone. Alain went over to help his teammate out from the water with the tan skinned teen, while the others immediately headed off from the dock, seeing that it was unsafe from the event that conspired. Flash took notice of how the scientist was staring at the camp supervisor, breathing out a heavy sigh. His gesture caught the attentions of Sunset, Sting, and Lector, as the former of the three looked at him worriedly before giving him a small grin.

"Guess I can't get too jealous, right?" he inquired while his hands out toward the group near the dock, "After all, she isn't my Twilight…" he grumbled, brushing his fingers through his hair in a frustrated manner before realizing what he had just said with widened eyes, "Not that the other Twilight was mine!" he corrected quickly as the red and yellow haired girl beside him developed a concerned expression, "But we were... you know…" he pointed out, unsure of how to phrase it.

"Yeah, I get it," she responded, placing her left hand onto his right shoulder somewhat reassuringly, "But your Twilight is a princess in Equestria," she noted to him bluntly, putting her arm around him as he slouched sadly in realization, "Hate to break it to you," she kept going while putting her free hand onto his other shoulder, "but that's where she's gonna spend most of her time," she told him.

"So… you're saying I just need to get over her?" he guessed as he nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

"Kinda, yeah," she answered with a smirk, much to his surprise, along with the other two males present as their eyes widened.

"Ouch…" the guitar player uttered out of astonishment, "You're not pulling any punches," he noted to her.

"Not really my style," she replied with a wink, playfully punching his right shoulder, "Sorry," she apologized as she shrugged sheepishly, making him smile.

"Heh!" Sting chuckled, "That's milady for ya!" he mentioned with crossed arms.

"Uh, you said it again…" his exceed pointed out while smirking, causing him to widen his eyes in realization and blush in embarrassment, turning his head away. In the meantime, Gloriosa, Celestia, and Luna had gone to inspect the damage the dock had received from splintering, while Fluttershy, Applejack, and Kyoya got off of it.

"This is a safety hazard," the latter of the three officials noted after taking a quick look at it, "I suggest we close down the dock for the remainder of the camp," she advised to the two beside her, as the camp director widened her eyes in shock. All the students began voicing their complaints, including Rainbow as she slouched down.

"OH COME ON!" Star screamed out of anger, much to Sakura's surprise as she flinched, while Sasuke just started ahead blankly.

"Oh, I'm sure it won't have to be for the remainder of camp," the maroon haired girl with the flower crown reassured to the group of campers, "Just needs to be… patched up a bit," she pointed out, gesturing towards it with her left hand, "I've got this!" she declared while placing her hands at her hips. The cowgirl narrowed her eyes as her left index finger was upon her cheek.

"Huh," she uttered in realization with a smile, walking forward, "Or maybe we do!" she remarked to the pink skinned girl as she approached the wooden structure, "If you ask me, this whole dock needs to go," she confessed as she kicked one of the beams, which broke off and hit the wood with a thump, surprising everyone, "Building a new one could be our camp gift," she suggested confidently to the others, much to the delight of the girl beside her as she clasped her hands together, "Sure, it would benefit us," she continued, while her fellow classmates were all smiling, "but a nice new dock would benefit future campers, too," she mentioned cleverly as the others were agreeing with her words.

"I don't know…" Timber chimed in with a shake of his head, "It's an awful lot of work," he pointed out, gesturing towards the somewhat splintered structure, "I wouldn't want you guys to miss out on doing other fun camp stuff because you're so busy building a dock for future campers," she explained while walking up with crossed arms and narrowed eyes to his sister, who clenched her fists and glared at him angrily.

"Yikes…" the white dragon slayer uttered out of surprise, grimacing along with Lector and Sunset as the latter of the two bit her thumb. Upon seeing the interaction, Rainbow felt a sudden urge to do something, developing a serious look on her face.

"I hear what you're saying, Timber," she began to the supervisor as she dashed up to his right side, placing her left arm around his shoulders, "but we're Canterlot Wondercolts," she noted proudly with a closed right fist, "We've got a reputation to uphold!" she exclaimed excitedly, "And there's no way we're gonna leave this place without contributing the most awesome camp gift ever!" she declared with outstretched arms, while the Omni Force squadron leader smiled at her, "I'm with AJ," she agreed, gesturing towards the blonde haired girl, who was smirking, "Building a new dock is definitely it!" she said, "What do you guys think?" she asked the rest of the group, who started cheering happily.

"Looks like it's settled, then," Gloriosa noted to her brother, who just seemed exasperated by the decision.

"Looks… like it…" he reluctantly replied, folding his arms over his chest.

"That's some tension, all right…" the red and yellow haired girl mentioned afterwards.

"Tell me about it…" Sting concurred with an arched eyebrow. Meanwhile, the girl beside him glanced over at the rainbow haired female, shooting her a smile and a thumbs-up, which she returned with her own small grin.

X

A while passed as the multiversal guests, officials, and the rest of the girls were gathered around a picnic table, looking over one of the female campers who a red beret over her short green hair, watching her come up with the blueprint for the new dock upon a piece of notebook paper.

"We can reinforce the foundation," Twilight pointed out to drawer.

"Make it nice and sturdy," Applejack continued while placing her right fist against her open left hand.

"And we can add a wood-carved sign that says "Camp Everfree"," Sunset added, holding her own extremities out.

"And little boxes with food so you can feed the ducks and fishies," Fluttershy chimed in happily.

"Rrah!" Charizard agreed with a nod.

"You too, of course," the animal whisperer noted, playfully nudging him with her right elbow as she winked.

"Oh!" Rainbow yelped in realization, catching their attentions, "We'll add lanterns so you can see at night!" she suggested excitedly with outstretched arms. The artistic female stuck out her tongue as she finished up the drawing, stopping to erase something before holding up the notepad to show the group.

"Wowee!" Star exclaimed upon viewing it with the others. The blueprint of the dock was in the shape of a lowercase t that was upside down, drawn with all the ideas the others had submitted.

"Looks great," Alain complimented to the artist, who blushed out of flattery.

"It's stunning!" Rarity mentioned after a quick gasp, "And it will make an absolutely perfect runway for my camp fashion show!" she pointed out excitedly, twirling around elegantly before placing her hands upon her cheeks in a giddy manner.

"Guh…" Rogue groaned, smacking himself in the face out of exasperation, while Frosch looked up at him worriedly.

"More importantly," Applejack chimed in with her right hand out, "it'll be a great place for dockin' canoes and feedin' the wildlife," she noted cleverly, putting her fist over her chest.

"Oh, you say 'tomato'," her fashionista friend retorted snootily, "I say 'perfect place to showcase glamorous boho-chic stylings'," she declared out of glee with a shake of her hips.

"No, she said-" The frog costumed exceed's blunt remark was cut off as his partner placed his right hand over his mouth.

"It's pointless, Frosch…" he told him, "Trust me…" he added in annoyance, seeing that the indigo haired girl was still acting quite giddy over the idea of her fashion show.

"What do you guys think?" Twilight asked Celestia and Luna, who both took a quick look at the blueprint.

"It's going to be a lot of work," the former official admitted as her hand was upon her chin, "but we can do it!" she stated confidently.

"Yes!" Pinkie shrieked delightedly, much to the principal's surprise as she flinched, "Adult supervision!" she exclaimed.

"We'll have to start by taking out the old dock," Sasuke pointed out as he trotted over to it.

"Heh," Kyoya chuckled, reaching down to his belt to grab his beylauncher, "Sounds like my kind of party!" he declared with a devious smirk.

"I got it," Sakura suddenly chimed in, causing him to gasp in surprise as she walked towards the wooden structure, "May I?" she asked politely to her team leader, who folded her arms over her chest and shrugged.

"Do whatcha' gotta do," she replied with a smile, making her grin back before she turned to face the dock, cracking her knuckles.

"She can't possibly be thinking of taking the entire dock apart by herself…" the vice principal muttered out of concern, as her sister nodded in agreement.

"Trust me," the red and yellow haired girl said, getting their attentions as they looked over at her, seeing her confident expression, "Sakura's a lot more than just a pretty face," she noted as the two looked over at the short haired girl. She cracked the knuckles on both of her hands, closing them into fists before raising the right one into the air.

"CCHHAAAAAA!" she bellowed before slamming her clenched extremity against the earth, causing it to surge up towards the wooden structure, making it suddenly shatter completely into splinters, much to the shock of everyone as a gush of water arose from the impact.

"My goodness…" Celestia uttered out of disbelief.

"Your turn, Sasuke!" the kunoichi called out, enticing the Uchiha teen to walk over and look up at the pieces of wood in the air. He placed his hand before his face, sticking his index and middle fingers before opening his right eye to reveal that his sclera had become red, having a black ring around his pupil with three tomoe upon it; all separated equally.

"Fire Style…" he began, puffing his cheeks out, "Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" he exclaimed before shooting a volley of small fireballs from his mouth, as they all struck the wood and began burning them into ashes, which piled up onto the ground.

"Oh. My. Gosh," Pinkie sounded off in surprise, while the rest the group except for Sunset and most of the other Omni Force members all had their mouths gaping open.

"Whoa…" Star uttered before her eyes began sparkling excitedly upon seeing her roommate's brute strength. The two shinobi glanced over at each other and grinned, as the male one blinked to have his eye go back to normal. A while later, the new dock was getting built fairly quickly. Rainbow, Applejack, Sting, Kyoya and Flash were up on the built structure itself, nailing down the boards while the others were off doing other tasks. The former of the group pounded a nail into a board with her hammer, preparing to pull out another one.

"Huh, nice hammer," the cowgirl commented with her right hand upon her chin, "Where'd ya get it?" she asked curiously.

"Uh, duh," the athlete responded bluntly in confusion, looking at her tool, "The toolbox…" she uttered while holding it out, completely perplexed along with the men on the dock.

"Hah, that's cool," her country accented friend laughed in reply, "I made mine," she pointed out, carrying a makeshift hammer that was practically embedded into a stick and stuck to it thanks to tape.

"Guh…" the rainbow haired girl groaned, kneeling back down onto the surface after rolling her eyes, "Let's just focus on getting this done, all right?" she suggested quickly, readying another nail and embedding it into the wood gently before pounding it down.

"You okay, RD?" the freckled female asked out of concern upon seeing her reaction, getting her attention, "Ah mean, you've been actin' pretty normal most of the time since comin' back from Ben's world," she noted, causing the athletic girl to grimace a little, "but then there's times… where ya aren't…" she mentioned while folding her arms over her chest.

"I'm fine," she answered, appearing to be reluctant to say anything else as her expression became despondent. Applejack was about to say something regardless until she noticed her boyfriend just lying on the wood surface with closed eyes.

"KYOYA!" she shouted, causing him to bat open his right eye as he saw her stomping towards him, "What in the hay do ya think yer doin'?!" she asked angrily, putting her hands at her hips.

"Supervising," he answered bluntly with a long yawn, making her grit her teeth in rage.

"If y'all don't get up right now," she began to shout, "ah'm nailin' you to the boards!" she stated while making him gasp in surprise and arise quickly with a start. From afar, Sasuke had seen the whole interaction, looking over at Rainbow with narrowed eyes. In the meantime, Rogue, Frosch, and Lector were helping Fluttershy and Rarity create the small boxes of food for the dock, painting them colorfully.

"Oh, how fabulous!" the fashionista commented upon looking at her crush's design, seeing well-drawn flowers of all kinds and swirls of wind.

"Uh… thanks…" he replied in gratitude, sweating nervously as he saw the sly look in her eyes towards him. Even the exceeds were freaked out by it as they cringed. As Alain, Luffy, Sakura, and Star walked over to the new dock with more boards, the pirate of the group took notice of Twilight approaching Timber, who was seated at a picnic table and working on a lantern with a screwdriver.

"Making lanterns out of solar-powered garden lights!" she noted upon seeing it, catching his attention, "Pretty crafty there, Timber!" she complimented with a raised as he smiled.

"You think that's crafty?" he inquired to her rhetorically, holding the light source in his hand, "You should see my macaroni art," he recommended, "I'm like the Picasso of noodles," he added jokingly, causing her to giggle before glancing away out of embarrassment. The Devil Fruit set his pile of boards down, about to go over and chat with the pair until he noticed Spike trotting towards them as well, making him grimace a little in frustration before stopping.

"All right, now," Celestia's voice chimed in, catching everyone's attention, "You've made a lot of progress," she pointed out to the group while holding a clipboard, "but it's going to be getting dark soon," she mentioned, glancing up at the sky, "We can pick this up tomorrow between our other camp activities," she told them before taking a last look at the schedule she had.

"Everyone, get cleaned up," Gloriosa advised, standing beside the principal, "and we'll gather by the fire pit at eight to share s'mores and scary stories!" she declared happily.

"S'mores!" Pinkie Pie squealed excitedly, suddenly hopping with a bag of marshmallows, a box of graham crackers, and a package of chocolate bars in her hands.

"Scary stories!" Star screamed as she jumped in beside her. Night fell on the campgrounds a while later, as everyone had congregated around the fire pit, listening to what were supposed to be spooky tales.

"...And that's…" Rarity began to finish, "when she looked down…" she continued, "and realized she was wearing purple socks with a burgundy dress!" she exclaimed while cover her eyes with her left arm, screaming in horror afterwards. However, no one seemed as frightened as the puffy haired girl of the girl threw up a marshmallow into the air from a literal bouquet of them, letting it fall into her mouth. In fact, most of the campers seemed disinterested and confused, causing the fashionista to quiet down for a moment, clearing her throat a little. "Purple and burgundy, darlings!" she pointed out to them in annoyance, "The same color family!" she added, shrieking frightfully with her hands upon her cheeks. Unfortunately, she realized that her tale had failed to really scare anyone as they all began murmuring amongst themselves, embarrassing her somewhat.

"Uh... that was a terrifying story," Applejack noted sarcastically to Rainbow, who chuckled in agreement while sitting beside her.

"Yeah," she said, "I'm terrified she'll try to tell it again," she whispered jokingly.

"Well," the indigo haired girl chimed in while folding her arms over her chest, having heard her friends' remarks, "I'm sure my darling found my story quite delightful," she pointed out confidently as she huffed. The cowgirl just glanced over to the side, widening her eyes before covering her quivering lips with her right hand, trying to suppress her giggles. However, her cobalt skinned friend took notice, narrowing her eyes onto her. "What is it?" she asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Ya might wanna ask him first…" she responded cheekily, covering her mouth as the athlete beside her did the same. Their pal glanced over to where her crush was, gasping to see that he had fallen asleep alongside Kyoya, Luffy, Star, and Frosch, snoring all the while.

"ROGUE!" she shrieked frightfully, causing him and the others to instantly awaken with starts, as the exceed actually fell off of his seat on the log, hitting the ground face first.

"Ouchie…" he muttered in pain, lifting his head up to reveal tears in his eyes.

"Ugh…" his partner groaned, rubbing his tired eyes with his right fingers, "Are the stories over…?" he guessed while yawning. Rarity blushed a bright crimson out of embarrassment, covering her face with her hands, much to the confusion of the others.

"Ahem," Luna coughed feigningly, catching the attentions of the students and the multiversal guests, "Anyone else have a spooky story?" she asked the group, while Pinkie continued to chow down on her bouquet of marshmallows.

"For the sake of everything scary, it better be a good one…" the princess of Mewni grumbled, placing her hands against her cheeks in a frustrated manner.

"I have one," Timber chimed in with a raised left hand, "But I'm warning you," he cautioned to the group, "you might as well hug a friend now," he advised in a smug manner, "That's how scary it is!" he declared eerily.

"Oh dear…" Fluttershy uttered after a quick gasp, letting Spike jump into her arms. Snips and Snails immediately embraced each other while shivering, followed by Bulk taking them into his arms tightly as his teeth clattered out of fright.

"It's time I told you… about the legend… of Gaea Everfree…" the supervisor said to the campers in a spooky tone.

"Gaea… Everfree?" Sting questioned with a quick yawn, having been bored from the previous tales as he sat beside Sunset and Twilight with a sleeping Lector on his lap.

"That's right," the tan skinned teen replied, glancing up at the dark, starry night sky, "Many years ago…" he began narrating as everyone listened on closely, "my great-grandparents came to this forest," he told them, "Seeing its beauty, they decided that it would be the perfect place for a camp," he explained, remembering his supposed ancestors observing the lovely area in the past, "But once they started building," he kept going, "strange things started to happen…" he stated, recalling how brambles would pop out from the ground and take hold of the wood the carpenters were using, "One… pitch black night," he continued eerily, "when the wind was howling, a tree branch crashed through the roof of their cabin!" he exclaimed, causing Star to yelp in surprise before embracing Kyoya tightly, having her teeth chatter, "They screamed and ran outside, only to see the giant creature rising from the earth!" he shouted as the vivid memory started to get everyone's attention, "She had wild hair like the roots of a tree," he mentioned, "Her mouth had jagged rock teeth and her eyes were pools of black tar," he added in description, frightening most of the group all the more, "But her aura shimmered like diamonds…" he pointed out, "Anywhere she went, she left a trail of gem dust in her wake," he noted, "Trembling, my great-grandparents asked who she was and what she wanted," he told the campers, "In a deep and hollow voice," he kept going descriptively, "she told them that her name was Gaea Everfree," he stated, "an ancient spirit who held domain over the forest," he explained, "and that my great-grandparents were trespassing on her land," he mentioned, "They begged her to let them stay and build their camp," he said, "to share this wonderful place with others," he added in a desperate tone, "Gaea Everfree finally agreed…" he stated, winding the tale down, "but warned them that they would not be able to keep it forever," he pointed out, "Someday, she will return and reclaim the forest as her own," he finished eerily.

"O-Okay…" the heart-cheeked girl stuttered as she shivered, "th-th-that was scary…" she confessed with a stammer, making Timber chuckle.

"So if you see a trail of gem dust," he began to the students and multiversal guests; most of whom were evidently frightened, "you'll know that it is..." he muttered creepily, "GAEA EVERFREE!" he yelled in a louder and scarier voice. All of a sudden, a pair of green eyes appeared from behind him, causing everyone to scream out of shock.

"Ah!" Star yelped, immediately grabbing her wand and letting it buzz with energy, "Rainbow Rocket Beam!" she exclaimed, suddenly firing a multicolored ray of light from it towards the being. It ducked however, letting it soar beyond her as it struck the ground in a pink explosion. The light that emanated afterwards revealed that it was Gloriosa, who blinked in surprise as she looked back at the princess of Mewni. "Uh… whoops…" she uttered apologetically with a reddened, as everyone was looking over at her. However, the camp director just giggled, getting their attentions.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you!" she apologized, walking out into the open and placing her hands against the shoulders of one student in a reassuring manner, making her smile in relief.

"Then… why'd you come out of the bushes?" Sunset asked, gesturing towards where she had entered from. Sasuke narrowed his eyes in suspicion at the maroon haired girl as well, wondering about her previous location.

"I... took the scenic route," she replied after a moment, "because the forest is beautiful at night!" she stated, looking up at the starry sky with clasped hands, "But no one else should do it without a guide, 'kay?" she advised seriously after an awkward moment of silence, "All right, everybody," she began to the group with her hands at her hips, "time to head to your tents," she told them, enticing them to get up from their seats and head off.

"Oh, hey, Gloriosa," Snips chimed in, catching her attention before she could go with the others, "Do you have extra toothbrushes?" he asked sheepishly, "I forgot mine," he admitted while pointing at his two front teeth, which had traces of food left in them.

"Sure do!" she responded, somewhat disgusted, "I'll get one for you," she promised as she placed her left hand onto his shoulder.

"I-I'm scared of the dark!" Snails stammered as he suddenly came over to the freckled girl, shuddering all the while, "Do you have flashlights?" he questioned nervously to her, shivering out of fright as she quickly glanced over at the other boy.

"Of course!" she answered happily, wrapping her arm around him before leading the both of them away from the fire pit, "I got this!" she declared somewhat anxiously, leaving the group of girls and the Omni Force members to stay behind. Fluttershy was still holding Spike very close to herself, suffocating him as he struggled to break free of her grip.

"F-Fluttershy?" he managed to breathe out, getting her attention as she instantly loosened her hold on him.

"Sorry, Spike," she apologized before he jumped down onto the ground from her arms," I guess that story got to me…" she admitted ashamedly.

"It's all right," her boyfriend chimed in, coming over and embracing her lovingly, enticing her to do the same.

"Oh, Alain…" she said out of happiness, having her cheeks show a tint of pink, "You're so warm…" she noted as she nuzzled his chest, but then widened her eyes as she felt something, "Warmer than usual in fact…" she mentioned, pulling her head away and grasping his right arm with her hand as he blinked in surprise, "Are you all right?" she asked in concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine…" he responded, arching an eyebrow in confusion.

"Huh…" Star sighed as she approached her squadron leader, "Sorry about all that…" she apologized while holding her wand in front of her face sheepishly, "Got a little spooked at the end there…" she confessed with a little chuckle. Sunset and Sakura shared a glance with each other before they both crossed their arms over their chests.

"Seems like you're more than a little spooked…" the former of the two pointed out, causing the princess of Mewni to slouch down in realization.

"Yeah…" she admitted as a reply, rubbing the back of her neck as she showed the two girls her weapon, "Ever since my wand blew up and came back, I've been a little…"

"On edge?" the kunoichi guessed, interjecting her sentence as she grinned a little.

"I just don't wanna take any chances with what happened to it last time," she stated seriously, making the red and yellow haired girl look at her worriedly.

"Still, that story sure was spooky…" Sting confessed, rubbing his fingers through his messy blonde hair.

"Why?" Applejack asked after chowing down on a marshmallow, "It can't be real," she pointed out with a chuckle.

"I dunno…" Rainbow admitted, jumping into the conversation, "Gaea Everfree could be some creature that got booted from Equestria and ended up in this world…" she explained while wrapping her arms around herself protectively, "That's what happened with the sirens…" she mentioned out of fright.

"Really?" the cowgirl questioned with an arched eyebrow while placing her hands at her hips, "Sounds to me like someone's not bein' her usual overconfident self…" she noted, causing her athletic friend to growl out of frustration.

"Hey, I've been through a lot lately!" she suddenly yelled, much to the surprise of her and the rest of the group, "The last thing I need is you guys teasing me about it…" she grumbled, folding her arms underneath her chest as she turned away.

"We ain't tryin' to tease ya, Dash…" the freckled girl reassured, holding her hands out in a placating manner, "We just wanna-" She stopped talking at the moment Sunset put her hand onto her shoulder, getting her attention as she saw her shake her head in disapproval.

"I think we should leave it alone for now," she advised to her, while the rainbow haired girl kept herself turned away as Sasuke just stared over at her in suspicion.

"Anyways," Lector chimed in, starting to change the subject, "you think that whole Gaea Everfree story could be real?" he questioned to the group.

"Eh," Applejack responded immediately with a shrug, "Sounded more like something that Timber was makin' up just to scare us," she pointed out, keeping her arms folded underneath her chest in a confident manner, but then widened her eyes upon realizing something, "At least I hope it was…" she muttered with her hand on her chin, catching everyone's attention, "Last thing I want is to have camp ruined by some power-crazed magical creature," she noted out of annoyance, causing the amber skinned girl to roll her eyes with a little smile, while Twilight just crossed her arms underneath her chest ashamedly.

"Oh, hear-hear," Rarity concurred while picking up the blanket she sat down upon during the gathering, "We've had to deal with more than our fair share of those," she mentioned, making the glasses-wearing girl grimace in remembrance as the girl beside her chewed down on a marshmallow, "At the Fall Formal, our musical showcase," she began listing off, holding out her index and middle fingers, "the Friendship Ga-" She immediately stopped at the moment she noticed the ponytailed girl's despondent expression, realizing that she bringing a somewhat taboo subject to her, "Well, I mean, you know, everything turned out all right, of course…" she attempted to reassure to her, chuckling nervously afterwards. Rogue just sighed deeply, smacking himself in the face with his right hand.

"Mmm… I'm kinda tired…" the scientist admitted as she didn't even look over at her friends, keeping her arms folded before her chest, "I'm gonna turn in," she said, walking back towards the campgrounds.

"Maybe lay off bringing up what happened at the Friendship Games?" the Omni Force squadron leader suggested to the fashionista with crossed arms, "I think she's still pretty sensitive about it…" she added, worriedly glancing out towards her departing friend.

"Twilight…" Luffy uttered in concern.

"You could've at least tried to stay quiet about it…" the shadow dragon slayer grumbled under his breath, catching the indigo haired girl's attention as she glanced over at him with narrowed eyes.

"Sorry, what was that?" she asked with an upset expression, stomping over to him.

"Uh oh…" Frosch uttered worriedly, while his fellow exceed cringed.

"I said that maybe you should just stay quiet next time," the ponytailed teen recommended, folding his arms over his chest while turning away, "Just like Sunset said," he added.

"Well…" Rarity began, somewhat shocked by her crush's words, "you don't have to be so rude about it…" she pointed with a huff as he clenched his teeth angrily.

"I wouldn't have to be if you weren't so unbearable…" he muttered, making her gasp in astonishment upon hearing him.

"UNBEARABLE?!" she exclaimed loudly, causing everyone to flinch, "Why am I-?!"

"Because you keep on rambling about fashion, you don't think about your friends, and you treat me like I'm supposed to be your boyfriend!" he listed off in rage, interrupting her question before he stormed off to the tents.

"Rogue, wait!" his exceed cried out, running after him as everyone was left stunned by what happened, especially the fashionista as she trembled.

"B-B-But I… just wanted to…" she stammered before keeling over onto her knees, sobbing a little.

"Rarity…" Applejack uttered out of concern, going over to her and placing her hand upon her shoulder.

"Guess Rogue finally snapped…" Lector bluntly noted.

"WAAAAHHH!" the cobalt skinned girl cried out upon hearing his remark, making everyone cover their ears while cringing, "No…" she said quietly with a sniff, as her tears were making her mascara run down her face, "It is my fault…" she confessed while wiping her eyes, "I've been all fashion ever since we came here…" she noted sadly, standing back up, "and… I guess I was… jealous…" she added, causing everyone to widen their eyes in surprise.

"Why?" Fluttershy asked, approaching her alongside Alain.

"You should know why!" she screamed in reply, causing her to yelp before hiding behind the Pokémon trainer in fright, "Oh, sorry…" she apologized after realizing what she had done, "I mean how everyone's gotten a boyfriend over the past few years except for me…" she explained in a sad manner, "It makes me feel left out…" she admitted with folded arms, while Sunset went over to her and placed her hands onto her shoulders.

"That doesn't mean you can make Rogue your boyfriend just like that," she pointed out with a snap of her fingers, "You need to know who he is before trying anything," she told her, crossing her arms over her chest.

"I… suppose…" the fashionista replied somewhat nervously.

"Besides," Pinkie chimed in, catching their attentions as she chowed down on a few marshmallows, "it's not like all of us have boyfriends," she noted, opening her mouth while readying another treat.

"Uh, what about Cle-?"

"I SAID NOT ALL OF US!" the partier girl suddenly shrieked, interrupting the animal whisperer as she immediately embraced the raven haired teen in fright afterwards.

"Let's just try to keep quiet about the Friendship Games and anything else that might set anyone off…" the Omni Force squadron leader advised. The puffy haired girl immediately rubbed the gooeyness of a marshmallow across her lips upon hearing her.

"Our lips are sealed," she promised cheekily, as everyone else nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Luffy glanced back out at where Twilight had gone, letting off a worried expression.

X

Dawn came by early the next day, with everyone sleeping in their tents as the sun was starting to rise. The shadow dragon slayer was squirming around upon his bed, sweating madly.

"Stop… please…" he begged in his sleep. His exceed opened his eyes upon hearing his pleas, sitting up on the little bed cushion he had in the middle of the room to see him gritting his teeth.

"Rogue…" he uttered worriedly, jumping up onto his divan and nudging him gently with his costume-covered paws.

"Er, huh?" he said, awakening as he groaned, sitting up, "Frosch?" he questioned, blinking before his vision came into focus, allowing him to see the feline beside him.

"It looked like you were having a nightmare…" he told him honestly, "Was it the bad shadow again?" he asked out of concern.

"No, it's not that…" his partner replied, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, "I was dreaming about what I said to that Rarity girl…" he confessed, much to the cat's surprise, "After everything that happened last night," he started to say, "I shouldn't have yelled at her like that…" he admitted, while his pal's eyes trembled. Meanwhile, his roommate had woken up, lying on his bed and facing away from them as he blankly stared at the side of their tent.

"Ergh…" Alain grunted while sleeping, appearing to be having his own night terrors in the Pearl tent. Inside his subconscious, he was standing in the center of a grassland in his normal clothes, while fire was surrounded him, burning the area "W-Where am I?" he asked with a stutter, glancing around with a frightened expression on his face.

"You can't escape, Alain…" a familiar voice echoed, making him widen his eyes in disbelief.

"No…" he uttered, trembling slightly before developing an angered scowl, "Boss, where are you?!" he called out, "Show yourself!" he demanded out of rage.

"You'll never be able to protect anyone with just 'your' power…" Lysandre's voice mocked, causing him to clench his teeth angrily.

"I'm warning you!" he screamed, reaching down to his belt. However, he gasped as he couldn't feel anything, looking to see that none of his Poké Balls were there.

"If you only had my power," the ominous voice began while a thump was heard from behind the teen, enticing him to turn around slowly, "you'd be able to protect those close to you…" he told him as he gasped to see his girlfriend lying lifelessly on the ground with burn marks and blood upon her form.

"F-F-Fluttershy?" he stammered in fright, succumbing to his fear as sweat rolled down his face, "NO!" he exclaimed upon waking up, falling off of his bed and hitting the ground with a thud.

"Ugh…" Kyoya groaned from the other divan as he awoke, glancing over to see his roommate breathing heavily on the floor, "What's up with you?" he asked out of annoyance, getting his attention.

"N-Nothing, I think…" he stuttered as a reply, raising his right hand up to his head in agony. The beyblader blinked in surprise for a moment before widening his eyes upon seeing something.

"What the heck's on your arm?!" he asked hysterically, causing the Pokémon trainer to perk up as he looked at his appendage, gasping out of astonishment upon what he saw. He then took notice of the green haired teen's own arm, widening his own eyes.

"Y-Yours, too…" he pointed out with a stammer, enticing him to look down at his appendage and yelp out of shock. Snoring emanated from the Sapphire tent in the meantime, as Spike was peacefully asleep on his little bed. However, his owner was squirming around and grunting restlessly in her own divan with a look of discomfort on her face while dreaming. Inside her subconscious, she was alone at the fire pit, roasting a marshmallow while in her camp uniform.

"Here I am!" a familiar, feminine voice echoed, much to her fright as she instantly perked up, glancing around the area to find the source, "Over here," it beckoned, making her stand while looking around with a fearful expression. The flames beside her suddenly turned a dark purple, followed by Midnight Sparkle appearing out from them as she dashed out towards her counterpart, surprising her, "I'm always here!" she exclaimed evilly.

"No!" she screamed out of terror upon waking, crossing her arms over her face protectively. Upon hearing her cry, Sunset immediately leapt out of her bed, muttering with drool hanging from her mouth as she got into a fighting stance.

"What happened?" she asked with her eyes still closed and tired-looking.

"Nothing!" her roommate claimed as a reply, sitting up while a pinkish aura was sparkling around her form and her divan, "Sorry, Sunset," she apologized while placing her left hand against her head in agony. Her friend went ahead and rubbed her eyes before finally opening them, having them shrink in astonishment to see what was going on.

"Uh, Twilight…" she began to utter, pointing upwards nervously, "I think something happened…" she noted, enticing the girl to look to see that almost everything on her side of the tent was levitating above the ground in a sparkling energy that appeared to emanate from her.

"YAAAAHHHH!" she yelped loudly before everything fell down onto the floor with a loud thud, including her pet's bed as he groggily woke up on it.

"Ugh…" he sighed tiredly, "Is it time to get up already?" he groaned, trotting around the cushiony surface of his divan before plopping himself down again to go back to sleep.

"Twilight, we really have to talk about this," the Omni Force squadron leader advised, folding her arms underneath her chest.

"No, we don't!" she responded defiantly, curling up into a ball and looking away. Before her pal could say anything, the flaps to their tent opened, revealing Luffy, Sting, and Lector as they were dressed in their day clothes.

"What's goin' on, milady?" the white dragon slayer asked, noticing her worried expression immediately.

"Nothing!" the sapphire haired girl claimed in reply, much to their surprise as they saw her glance away.

"We've… got a bit of an issue again…" the amber skinned girl told the two teens and the exceed, causing them to all look over at each other with concern on their faces. Later on the lake, Muffins and Sandalwood were out on one of the sailboats, sitting still in the center of the body of water as no wind was blowing. The female of the two attempted blow on the sail to make them move, but to no avail as they remained in place. A blue jay screeched as it soared overhead, flying towards the dock, which was nearly completed as the main structure had been built. Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie were there along with Alain, Kyoya, Rogue, Sasuke, Sakura, Star, and Frosch, gathering wooden boards to complete the last section of the structure. Mysteriously, both the Pokémon trainer and the beyblader were donning jackets over their forms, despite the pleasant weather.

"Yo, Frosch!" a voice called out, catching the attention of the frog-costumed cat as he smiled to see his fellow one approaching with both the Sabertooth guildmaster and the Devil Fruit user. Sunset and Twilight trailed behind them, taking quick glances at each other before the former decided to speak up.

"Hey, I know you don't want to," she began as the glasses-wearing girl grimaced, catching the attentions of both Sting and Luffy as well, "but I really think we need to figure out what's going on with your magic," she advised in a calm, but serious tone, while her friend was developing a frustrated expression on her face as she rubbed her hand, "If you could learn to control it—"

"But that's just it!" she interrupted, much to her the others' surprise, "I'll never be able to control it!" she exclaimed with clenched fists. All of a sudden, a loud crash was heard nearby, enticing them to all turn and gasp to see that the sailboat on the water had crashed into the dock and tipped over, smashing about half of it into splinters as some of the people upon it lied down in shock.

"Are you all right, Fluttershy?" the raven haired teen asked, holding his girlfriend close upon retrieving her on what remained of the destroyed structure.

"I-I'm fine…" she stammered in reply, evidently frightened by almost getting hurt, but was more concerned about the unexplainable warmth she felt coming off from his body, especially as she remembered feeling it yesterday.

"What happened?" Rainbow asked as she rushed in from the campgrounds, having heard the sound as well.

"I didn't mean to!" Twilight suddenly yelped, thinking that she caused the incident, which her red and yellow haired friend took notice of.

"We didn't see anything, so we don't know what happened," she told the athlete while placing her hand onto the glasses-wearing girl's shoulder, rushing over to the dock with the rest of the group in tow. The ponytailed girl just kept her mouth closed, developing a worried expression as she trotted nervously towards the broken structure, rubbing her arm.

"Hang on!" Star called out, readying her wand. However, she then recalled what happened last night, grimacing a little before putting her weapon away. "Uh, here!" she offered, holding her right hand out to Sandalwood, who took it, allowing her to pull him in with a loud grunt. Both Lector and Frosch sprouted feathery white wings on their backs, flying over to Muffins and hoisting her up from the tipped vessel, setting her back down on the dock.

"Oh, thank you!" she said in gratitude with clasped hands, making the exceeds smile before they came down themselves, losing their wings in a puff of smoke.

"Are you okay?" Sunset asked, placing her hand upon the eco kid's shoulder, while both Rogue and Sasuke helped Timber and another student get back on their feet.

"Yeah," the dreadlock haired camper replied as water dripped down from his body, "It was so weird…" he noted, while the rest of the group came over, "We were stuck in a middle of the lake with no wind," he explained to them, gesturing towards the body of water while twirling his fingers, "then all of a sudden, bam!" he exclaimed while smacking his right hand with his fist,"The wind picked up, and we were pushed right into the dock," he finished, being led off the structure by the supervisor as everyone looked around in surprise. Kyoya immediately grabbed his right arm and grimaced upon hearing his words, catching his girlfriend's attentions as she looked over at him with an arched eyebrow. Before she could say anything though, Pinkie gasped, enticing everyone to glance at her and see her somewhat frightened expression.

"You don't think it was the spirit, do you?!" she inquired, nervously holding her hands out in front of her face, while Trixie was standing beside her.

"No…" Twilight uttered in a quiet whisper, which no one else could hear except for Luffy, who looked at her in astonishment, "it was me…" she said, trotting off. The pirate felt inclined to try and say something to her, but decided to leave it for a moment as he and the others went back over to the dock.

"Spirit, show yourself!" the magician suddenly beckoned, catching the partier girl's attention, "The Great and Powerful Trixie commands it!" she demanded as the female beside her smacked herself in the face with her right hand in annoyance.

"What's that?!" Rarity's voice suddenly echoed in shock, causing everyone to rush over and see a purple aura sparkling upon the water beside the destroyed dock. Everyone began chattering in concern over the situation, while the Uchiha teen looked at the liquid with narrowed eyes.

"Hm…" Rogue hummed, kneeling down beside the fashionista as he too observed the water, while she blushed nervously, "I can't get a clear scent off of it…" he muttered after a quick sniff.

"It must've been wiped off in the water, darling…" the indigo haired girl pointed out, placing her hand upon her chin, "and it certainly is concerning…" she admitted. All of a sudden, the two of them glanced over at one another, blushing before turning away. "Eh, sorry!" the female immediately apologized, sheepishly twirling her hair within her fingers, "I should let you focus!" she added, getting up and jogging away, much to his surprise.

"Huh…" Frosch sighed worriedly, having witnessed the whole scene. The purple aura appeared to be trailing from the sailboat, as the entire group of Wondercolts and Omni Force members gathered upon what remained of the dock.

"Oh, man!" Rainbow groaned in frustration, "All our hard work! Ruined!" she complained, gesturing towards the structure.

"If Franky were here," Luffy began to chime in, "he'd have this thing built back up in no time…" he noted, placing his hands at his hips.

"At least the fishies are eating well," Fluttershy pointed out to try and ease the mood, noticing the small bass poking their heads out of the water, enjoying the bits of food that had fallen in. Meanwhile, her boyfriend was nervously rubbing his right arm, which was concealed by his black jacket.

"Let's salvage what we can out of the water," Sunset advised, catching everyone's attention, "Maybe we can still fix this," she suggested confidently.

"Aye, milady!" Lector responded, sprouting his wings before floating over to grab one of the broken boards in the water.

"We have to try!" Rarity cried out in a desperate tone, "Camp Everfree needs a runway!" she exclaimed, causing Applejack to cringe out of frustration.

"Dock," she corrected, getting her attention.

"Dock. Yes," the fashionista uttered, looking at the fingernails upon her left hand in ignorance, "That's what I meant," she claimed, much to the annoyance of the cowgirl as she rolled her eyes.

"Huh…" Rogue and Frosch sighed simultaneously afterwards.

"We should try to make sure that sailboat's okay, too!" Sakura called out while treating a cut upon Sandalwood's arm, expelling a greenish aura from her hands onto it.

"Got it!" Sting replied, hopping right into the water with Sasuke. As the two of went over to inspect the vessel, Luffy was about to join them until he took notice of Twilight jogging off towards, stopping for a moment before entering them. With a determined expression on his face, he ran off the dock, heading after her. She had gone far into the wooded area before slowing herself down to walking speed, having a depressed expression on her face as she reached a small river with a waterfall. The Devil Fruit user was not far behind, stretching up to the thick branches of the trees so he could have a better view. He spotted her below, seeing that she had her arms folded underneath her chest as she stared at the water.

SONG: The Midnight In Me, performed by Twilight Sparkle

It used to be so simple…

It was a world I understood…

I didn't know what I didn't know,

And life seemed pretty good…

The pirate was surprised to hear her singing, but began wondering why she sounded so distressed as she sat down upon a log, continuing to look at her reflection in the river.

But now the darkness rises…

From somewhere deep inside of me…

Her power overtakes me…

Can I keep this midnight from getting free?

Twilight was starting to see parts of Midnight Sparkle in her reflection, having to look back at herself to make sure she wasn't changing, standing back up.

If I can stay with the light,

I know I'll be free!

And I can start to be whole,

I can start to be me!

But instead I am struggling…

With all that I see…

Luffy was amazed by her talent, but could still tell that she wasn't okay, seeing her sit back down and stare at the water again.

And these friends…

Mustn't see the midnight in me!

The midnight in me!

She saw her evil counterpart within her reflection once again, shutting her eyes before placing her hand into the water and rippling it, making it go back to normal.

They mustn't see the midnight in me...

END SONG

"Twilight…" the Devil Fruit user uttered, remembering that he had crew members who had been somewhat of a same position as she was. Rather than go down to try and reassure her, he headed back towards the campgrounds, deciding to leave her alone for the time being.

"You sure you didn't see him?" Sunset asked Sting as the two of them and Lector were walking back over to the tents.

"Positive," he replied, folding his arms behind his head, while water dripped down from his form from wallowing in the lake earlier, "He was with us at the dock earlier…" he pointed out.

"Yeah…" the red and yellow haired girl concurred, stopping as they reached her own tent, placing her hands at her hips as she curiously looked around the area. The three of them went inside, glancing around to see no one else in sight except for Spike, who was wearing his cap while asleep on his little divan. The Sabertooth guildmaster took a few quick sniffs, folding his arms over his chest afterwards.

"She hasn't been here in a while…" he noted to his squadron leader, getting her attention as she glanced over at him, scratching her head worriedly.

"So many squirrels…" the puppy's voice suddenly said, causing them to see that he was talking in his sleep while rolling. Developing a cheeky grin on his face, the exceed slowly trotted up to him.

"BOO!" he suddenly exclaimed.

"Ah!" the animal beside him yelped, awaking with a start before turning to see the feline beside him, noticing the smirk on his face, "Oh," he uttered in annoyed realization, rolling himself over and getting up as the humans in the room came over, "Aw, man!" he groaned while rubbing his eyes, "I was having the best dream," he mentioned tiredly, but then widened his eyes as he remembered something, "Wait…" he said, developing a sly grin as he rubbed his paws together, "That dream could be a reality!" he noted while jumping off of his bed, about to run off outside.

"Before you run off to chase squirrels," Sunset began, halting him as he was going to leave, "do you have any idea where Twilight could be?" she asked him while kneeling down to his eye level, "I really need to talk to her," she mentioned in a serious tone.

"What happened?" he questioned, "Did she do that lifting things off the ground thing again?" he guessed, waving his left paw up and down.

"That's just it," the red and yellow haired girl replied, "I don't know if it was her," she admitted, glancing off to the side with narrowed eyes, "But if it was," she continued as she stood back up, "we need to deal with it head on," she stated, placing her right fist onto her hand.

"I can track her down," Spike responded, ready to embark on the search.

"Same here!" Lector concurred as he was about to go with him.

"Wait!" a voice suddenly yelled, causing the two animals to trip and fall on their bellies.

"Ugh…" they groaned simultaneously, lifting their heads up to see Luffy standing there.

"Luffy!" Sting yelped in surprise, smiling upon seeing him, "Where the heck were you?" he asked as he trotted up to him, "I thought you were gonna help us fix the dock…" he pointed out with his hands at his hips.

"Sorry," he apologized quickly, "I was goin' after Twilight when she ran into the woods," he explained, much to the surprise of everyone there.

"Why were you looking for her?" the puppy asked out of suspicion, staring at him.

"That doesn't matter," the Omni Force squadron leader chimed in while walking up to the pirate, placing her hand upon his right shoulder, "Lead the way, Luffy," she advised, making him nod in realization and grin before exiting the tent with both the white dragon slayer and exceed in tow.

"Why do you trust him so much?" the purple furred creature asked as Sunset was about to go after her teammates, "He's a-!"

"Spike, Luffy might be a lot of things," she began, interrupting his remark, "but he's no liar," she told him in a serious tone, causing him to suddenly gulp before seeing her head out.

"Huh…" he sighed, racing after her moments later. In the wooded area, the glasses-wearing girl herself was walking along a pathway, evidently stressed by the events that had taken place earlier.

"Keep it together…" she advised to herself, placing her hands upon her head, "Deep breaths," she recommended, "You are not a monster," she stated with clenched fists. All of a sudden, Timber came out from the tree she was passing, much to her surprise.

"DAAAAHHH!" they both screamed simultaneously.

"Oh, hi…" she greeted instantly after recovering while rubbing the back of her neck, chuckling a little, "What are you doing here?" she asked curiously, causing him to widen his eyes in surprise.

"Uh..." he uttered nervously, "Looking for you…" he replied flirtatiously, pointing at her with his index fingers, stunning her a little.

"Oh…" she responded while still rubbing the back of her head, "I just went on a nature walking and got a little lost…" she claimed with a shrug.

"Let me show you the way," the supervisor beckoned, gesturing towards the rest of the pathway before they went off together, "I'm kind of an expert at these woods," he mentioned while walking backwards, "I've lived here my whole life," he added.

"That must have been nice," Twilight pointed out while trotting beside him, "Growing up at a camp," she added as she looked up at the teen.

"Yeah," he agreed, "though it has its downsides…" he admitted, placing his hands into his pockets, "When I was younger, I wished we'd sell this place so we could live in a town like normal people," he confessed, moving a tree branch up so they could pass by it.

"Really?" the ponytailed girl questioned, putting her own hands onto her hips while arching an eyebrow towards him.

"I was ten," he responded as he stopped, turning to face her, "I really wanted to hang out at the mall," he mentioned while putting his hands back in his pockets, chuckling along with the girl afterwards out of amusement, "I've never told that to anyone," he confessed as he walked up to her, blushing all the while, "You must be special," he noted as both of them had rosy red cheeks, "And not just because you have tree branch in your hair…" he finished, pulling out the object from upon the female's ponytal, much to her shock as her mouth gaped open.

"Ugh," she groaned out of disgust, checking her hair to make sure nothing else was there, "How long has that been in there?" she asked.

"Not long," Timber replied, dropping the branch onto the ground, "Just the whole time we were talking," he mentioned jokingly, causing her to gasp before chuckling.

"Well, why didn't you say something?" she questioned, elbowing his back before walking off with him. Meanwhile, Sunset, Luffy, Sting, Spike, and Lector had all listened on from behind the shrubbery on the side of the path, peeking out to see the two heading out of the area.

"I guess we can help Twilight deal with the magic stuff a little later…" the former of the group admitted in a quiet whisper.

"That guy sure is smooth…" the exceed noted, impressed by the supervisor's tact.

"Yeah…" his partner agreed in a somewhat envious tone. On the other hand, the Devil Fruit user just looked on worriedly, clenching his fists out of frustration. Back on the campgrounds, Bulk was showing off his strength to Flash by lifting Muffins up with just his left arm as they were beside the rock climbing wall, where Lyra Heartstrings was, spotting Octavia Melody as she was carefully going up. Celestia was there as well with Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow, Kyoya, Sasuke, Rogue, and Frosch. The former two girls had harnesses upon their forms, as the fashionista was ready to embark up the wall, donning a pink helmet upon her head.

"Rock climbing is all about perseverance and trust," the principal told the two, "Rarity, you can trust that Applejack will spot you," she promised to the indigo haired girl before walking to check on the other climbers, while the athlete just looked on with an annoyed expression upon her face.

"Yeah, so you can totally go faster than you're going," she pointed out to her friends in frustration.

"Rainbow Dash!" the cowgirl responded, upset with her.

"Sorry…" she apologized with a shrug, "I've been waiting to do this since we got here," she noted, crossing her arms impatiently, "I need to take my mind off of some things, too…" she muttered in addition, glancing off to the side ashamedly.

"Well, you'll have to wait a little longer, darling," the cobalt skinned girl pointed out in reply as her spotter just smirked, watching as she went up. Meanwhile, the male teens just watched on, with the beyblader of the group nervously holding his arm as he looked at his girlfriend.

"What's wrong?" the Uchiha teen's voice chimed in, getting his attention as he gasped while blushing a little.

"N-Nothing!" he claimed with a stutter, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, "I was just… thinking about how I ended up with a girl like AJ…" he semi-admitted while blushing. Hearing her name enticed the blonde haired to look back towards the boys, "I thought she hated me when Gingka introduced me to her," he remembered, glancing down at the ground, "She was tough, feisty, and somewhat of a jerk…" he listed off, causing her to narrow her eyes towards him, "but when she introduced me to her family, that changed," he continued as she blinked in surprise from afar, "Even though her brother kinda threatened to beat me to a pulp if I tried anything with her," he kept going, "her relatives welcomed me with open arms and…" he tried to say, but didn't as he coughed to clear his throat, while his face turned red, "Well… I bet you get the idea…" he grumbled, turning away.

"I kinda do," Sasuke replied, letting off a little. In the meantime, the cowgirl blushed a little while still holding the rope that her friend was on the other end of.

"Nothin' mushy, huh?" she recalled as she looking over at him with a smirk.

"Looking good, Rarity!" Frosch's voice suddenly cried out, enticing her spotter to look and see the feline beside her, waving his paws.

"Thank you, Frosch!" she replied out of gratitude, continuing her climb carefully afterwards.

"Huh…" Rainbow sighed out of frustration, having seen the whole ordeal between Applejack and Kyoya. She then turned her head to see Twilight and Timber approaching, much to her delight as she smiled.

"Oh, good!" she exclaimed excitedly upon spotting them, catching their attentions as she pumped her fists, "Twilight," she began to the glasses-wearing girl, "if you spot me, I can finally go," she noted, about to race off, "I'll go get another harness," she stated while the two watched her leave.

"I'm not sure-"

"I… better make sure my sister doesn't need anything," the supervisor chimed in, getting her attention as he put his right hand onto her shoulder, "See you later?" he inquired, giving her a quick salute as he began walking off. The ponytailed girl just looked at him in a romantic manner, completely infatuated by his charm.

"Twilight, there you are!" a voice suddenly called out, catching her attention as she turned to see Sunset approach her with Spike in her arms, having Luffy, Sting, and Lector in tow, "I was looking for you!" she told her, ready to say something else. Without warning though, the ground started shaking, much to everyone's surprise as some of the students screamed.

"What the?!" the beyblader exclaimed in shock, glancing around with the others. Both Alain and Sakura also felt the rumbles from the dock, as they were working on it together.

"Was than an earthquake?" the purple puppy asked, evidently frightened by what just happened.

"We aren't near any fault lines…" his owner pointed out, adjusting her glasses.

"Hey!" Bulk cried out, causing everyone to look over to see him, Flash, and Muffins all observing a trail of pink, sparkling aura upon the ground, "Who left this crystaly dusty stuff here?!" he asked loudly, scratching his head.

"Don't touch it!" the Sabertooth guildmaster yelled, making the three immediately step away as he came over quickly, going down onto his left knee and sniffing the substance, "Guh…" he groaned out of frustration, "Not getting a scent from this…" he noted, much to the surprise of his guild mate as he blinked in surprise. Meanwhile, Rarity suddenly lost her grip on the rock climbing wall, yelping as she flailed her arms wildly before grasping the rope that was holding her, tucking her legs in.

"Rarity!" Frosch squeaked worriedly, clasping his paws over his mouth.

"I-I believe I'd like to come down now!" the fashionista stammered to her spotter, who shot her a thumbs up in reply, tugging at the line.

"Eh…" she grunted as she had trouble trying to move it, "Sorry," she apologized up to her friend, "it's a little bit stuck," she pointed out as she attempted to pull at it again. All of a sudden, an orange aura lit up over her hands, allowing her to finally pull the rope. However, she apparently pulled too hard as the indigo haired girl shot up to the top of the wall with a shriek. The cowgirl then let go of the rope in surprise, causing her to plummet down towards the ground quickly.

"RARITY!" Rogue screamed, instantly dashing out to the wall. Applejack immediately grasped the rope near its end as it was undoing itself rapidly, stopping it just as the shadow dragon slayer caught the cobalt skinned girl in his arms bridal style. "Phew…" he sighed in relief, while she was still holding onto the rope with closed eyes.

"Applejack!" she suddenly shouted loudly to her pal, making the one holding her flinch in surprise,"What are you doing?!" she exclaimed angrily.

"Aaaahhh…" the teen holding her uttered, feeling his ears ringing from the female's screams.

"Is everything okay over there?" Celestia asked in concern, going over to the group as the others began approaching.

"Uh, I don't know what happened…" the blonde haired girl replied, glancing up at the top of the wall, while the ponytailed teen holding the former climber let her down onto her feet, "I didn't even pull the rope that hard," she mentioned, letting go of the line as the fashionista attempted to undo her harness, breathing heavily from fright, "It's like she was light as a feather all of a sudden," she added, raising her hands as she too was surprised.

"I was scared half to death!" her friend chimed in angrily, still having to inhale and exhale rapidly.

"It wasn't my fault!" the cowgirl responded in an apologetic tone, noticing that she was struggling with the piece of equipment at her waist, "Let me help you get your harness off," she offered, about to walk up to her as she glared at her.

"No thank you!" she replied while sticking her hands out, suddenly creating a diamond-shaped energy shield from them that shoved her freckled pal into the bushes with a scream, followed by the sound of a splash.

"AJ!" her boyfriend exclaimed, rushing over along with Sasuke. Fortunately, she walked out moments later, looking quite annoyed as she had fallen into the lake, having water drip down from her form while also losing her hat. She spat out a wad of the liquid that ended up in her mouth, trotting back over to her friends.

"What in the world just happened?!" Celestia asked, going over to the country girl, while everyone else had widened eyes in surprise.

"Oh, dear!" Rarity said as she glanced back at her hands, "I am so sorry!" she apologized, "I think," she added unsurely, "Did I just do… whatever that was?" she asked as the others gathered around her.

"I… don't think it was your fault…" Twilight pointed out quietly, fidgeting with her fingers as she caught the attentions of Sunset, Luffy, and Spike, "I'm gonna go get Applejack a towel," she said, trotting off.

"Me too," the Omni Force squadron leader chimed in, going after her alongside the pirate, dropping the dog in her arms down in the meantime as she glanced back towards her friends at the wall, "You're not the only one with a new kind of magic!" she noted happily to the glasses-wearing girl, making her cringe as they stopped, "This is great!" she mentioned excitedly.

"No, it's not!" she disagreed defiantly after turning around to face her, "Rarity and Applejack could have really hurt each other!" she told her with clenched fists, much to the surprise of the Devil Fruit user and his team leader as they glanced at each other nervously, "Why is this happening?" she questioned, placing her hands against her head while freaking out, "I don't-!"

"Hi, girls!" Gloriosa greeted, interrupting the scientist's remark as they turned to see her there, "Anything I can do for you?" she asked politely.

"Uh, Applejack just fell into the lake!" the ponytailed girl told her in reply, much to her surprise.

"Oh no!" she yelped, "She's gonna need warm towels, dry clothes," she listed off, "ooh, and a hot cocoa!" she added, placing her left fist into her hand, "I've got this!" she declared, rushing off to get the objects, while the others watched her go with worried expressions.

"Guh…" Applejack groaned, rubbing her arms while shivering back at the wall, "I feel colder than winter right now…" she confessed. Meanwhile, Kyoya took notice of the fact that camp shirt was becoming transparent from being soaked in water, causing him to gasp and blush. Before anything else could happen, he immediately took off his long-sleeved jacket.

"H-Here!" he stuttered, catching his girlfriend's attention as she saw him hold out the article of clothing towards her.

"Uh… thanks…" she responded out of gratitude, taking it into her hands, "But why-?"

"Just put it on before someone sees!" he whispered loudly in interjection, causing her to arch an eyebrow out of confusion.

"Sees?" she questioned, glancing down to see what the water had done to her shirt, widening her eyes in realization, "DAH!" she shrieked girlishly, using the coat to cover herself, "Th-Thanks…" she stammered, evidently embarrassed as her face was a bright red, "You didn't see anything, did-?" She stopped her question at the moment she noticed something off about her boyfriend's right arm as he walked away, narrowing her eyes to see black, curved markings upon it. Suddenly, a booming noise occurred, followed by a familiar scream, making Twilight, Sunset, Luffy, Sting, Spike, and Lector perk up.

"Fluttershy?" the two girls questioned upon recognizing the voice. Without warning, a form of streaked out onto the ground before them, shaping before dissipating to reveal Charizard, who promptly roared.

"Let's go, Charizard!" his trainer cried out, rushing towards the dining hall.

"Rah!" he responded, flying up and gliding after him.

"Alain, wait!" the red and yellow haired girl called out, following him quickly with the other five. The Flame Pokémon landed down before the doors and pushed them open, growling as he went inside with his master, only to find that there was a bunch of sprinkled cookie dough splattered everywhere on the tables and the ceiling as the animal whisperer, Pinkie, and Star were the only ones there, also looking messy.

"What happened?!" the Omni Force squadron leader asked upon entering the building, seeing the mess inside.

"I don't know," the shy girl responded as she wiped her cheek, while her boyfriend trotted over to her, "We were just decorating cookies and-"

"And I was all," the puffy haired girl interjected, "'You need more sprinkles!'" she exclaimed while waving her arms towards the cookie dough splattered on the table, "'And you need more sprinkles!'" she added cheerily.

"So, standard Pinkie Pie stuff…" Sunset noted bluntly with a smirk and crossed arms.

"Don't forget standard Star Butterfly stuff!" the princess of Mewni chimed in while twirling her wand around in her right hand, "I was doin' my whole cookie cutter thing…" she started to say as she shot a beam of white light down at the dough, creating a star-shaped cookie before turning to the pink skinned girl beside her.

"And I was just tossing sprinkles to Fluttershy," she continued as she reached into the open container of the delectable decorations, "when all of a sudden they glowed pink and exploded!" she exclaimed, pulling a bunch of them out and tossing them as they shined a hot pink, suddenly exploding in a sparkly blast, blowing everyone's hair back splattering them with cookie dough. "Just like that, only earlier!" she pointed out after shaking herself to rid her form of the dough, resting her hand upon the table.

"Ragh!" Charizard roared angrily, wiping the substance off from his own body.

"Huh…" Alain sighed in relief, rubbing his right arm as there was no danger apparent, while his girlfriend looked over at him worriedly.

"Oookaay…" the red and yellow haired girl said as she trotted over to her hyper friend, "Why don't you lay off touching stuff for a while?" she suggested, taking her hand away from the table she had it on.

"Mm!" Lector hummed delightedly after tasting the dough on his vest, "Seems like you girls were making quite the treats!" he pointed out, while his partner did the same, smiling upon trying it as well.

"Oh, dear," the animal whisperer uttered, seeing the splattered cookie dough all over the place as Twilight and Luffy were wiping the substance off of themselves, "We really should clean all of this up," she advised, jogging over to the rack where the paper towels were. Unfortunately, they were high up out of her reach as she struggled to try and grab them. "Can someone help me out?" she asked. The Fire/Flying type was about to go over and assist her until he took notice of a little orange bird flying by, going up to the paper towels and grasping one with his feet, flapping his wings before dropping it into the girl's hands, as she was quite surprised. He then perched himself onto her right index finger. "Thank you, mister Bird," she said in gratitude to him, enticing him to tweet back, "Why of course I can get you a little something to-" She stopped her sentence with a gasp as she realized something, turning to face the bird on her finger. "Did you just... talk?" she questioned slowly and nervously, getting an immediate chirp in reply from him, "But I don't speak 'chirp'…" she pointed out with a slight shake of her head.

"Fluttershy?" the Pokémon trainer chimed in, going over to her with his partner as they wondered what was happening, while the little creature on her finger tweeted again.

"I don't know if you're the only bird I can understand," she responded, while everyone else at the tables were helping clean the mess, gathering the cookie dough and closing up the jars of sprinkles. Another chirp emerged from the bird the animal whisperer was speaking with, causing her to widen her eyes.

"Oh, no!" she cried out, catching the attentions of the others as she dropped the paper towels, "Please don't call for your friends," she pleaded. All of a sudden, a plethora of birds and owls flew in, perching themselves upon her arms as she was left stunned. "It's… nice to meet all of you, too," she greeted amidst the tweets and hoots.

"Were you just talking to the birds?" Sunset asked, glancing over at her.

"Um… yes?" she replied nervously, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the attention. Growling in rage, Charizard stomped over to her.

"RRROOAAAAHHH!" he roared loudly, causing the birds and owls to immediately fly away while making the shy girl flinch.

"H-Huh…" she breathed with a stutter afterwards, turning to face the dragon-like creature with an upset expression on her face, "Charizard, that was rude!" she yelled at him.

"Roh, rah ah…" he pointed out, folding his arms over his chest.

"Well, I might've not wanted the attention, but-" She gasped again upon realizing something. "I can understand you… too?" she inquired, making him widen his eyes in surprise.

"What?" her boyfriend uttered, just as stunned.

"Cool!" Pinkie cried out gleefully, "You're just like that Meowth from Team Rocket!" she pointed out, much to her shock.

"Rah…" the Fire/Flying growled as he was impressed, causing the pink haired girl to gasp and develop an angered expression.

"Charizard, language!" she reprimanded with her hands at her hips, making him grimace on the spot, gritting his teeth nervously as he stepped back.

"Okay, this is getting way too weird…" Sting noted while rubbing the back of his head. All of a sudden, the doors slammed open, causing Fluttershy to shriek in surprise before Alain immediately went over to defend her. Fortunately, it was just Applejack, Rarity, Rogue, Sakura, and Frosch as they came inside.

"Is everything okay?" the kunoichi asked, walking up to the group, "I heard the scream, but I expected something worse…" she noted, glancing up to see the cookie dough falling from the ceiling.

"Nope," her team leader responded with a shrug, "Just standard stuff with Pinkie and Star," she told her, "With a little bit of weird mixed in…" she added while waggling her fingers.

"Weird?" the short-haired girl questioned, arching an eyebrow.

"Did ya tell them what happened?" the cowgirl asked, chiming into the conversation, "So crazy!" she mentioned with a wave of her hand, "I hoisted Rarity up the rock climbin' wall like it was nothin'!" she explained, showing off her bicep to the group, "Like I had way more strength than I usually do," she pointed out.

"What's with the jacket?" the princess of Mewni asked curiously with a tilt of her head, causing her to instantaneously blush.

"Uh… well… I uh…"

"And I made a diamondy thing appear out of nowhere," the fashionista interrupted, sparing her friend the embarrassment of earlier, "which normally I'd be excited about," she continued, causing both the freckled girl and the shadow dragon slayer to give off annoyed looks toward her, "I mean, the facets were just perfect, and the-"

"Rarity!" the boy and girl beside her shouted simultaneously, halting her from going giddy over what she had done.

"Ooh, sorry," she quickly apologized, regaining her focus, "It knocked Applejack over and then it disappeared!" she told the group.

"Not to mention that you blasted my ear drums…" the ponytailed teen muttered, rubbing his ears from the screams he heard earlier, while his exceed looked up at him worriedly.

"Hey… where are Kyoya and Sasuke?" Sunset asked, noticing that they weren't among the group.

"Haven't seen 'em since the rock climbin' wall mishap," the blonde haired girl replied as she clutched the jacket she had over her form tightly, "And I've got a few questions for Kyoya…" she mentioned, placing her hand onto her chin as everyone else blinked in surprise, "Speaking of disappearin'," she began, going back to the cobalt skinned girl's remark earlier, "has anybody seen Rainbow Dash?" she questioned, folding her arms over her chest. All of a sudden, a rainbow-colored blur raced through the doors, zooming by the group. Alain instantly put his arms around Fluttershy in a protective manner as it dashed by, slamming into the wall. It turned out to be the athletic girl, who fell down onto the floor with a thud.

"Ow!" she yelped in pain while trying to sit up.

"Whoa!" the cowgirl exclaimed upon what she witnessed, going over to her friend and helping her back on her feet, "How'd you do that?" she asked with an arched eyebrow.

"I dunno!" she responded with a shake of her head, "I started running to get the harness, and the next thing I knew," she kept going, "I was practically back in town!" she told the group as they were all surprised.

"But if you had some sort of super speed," Rarity chimed in, getting her attention as she made a running motion with her fingers, "why you were gone for so long?" she questioned while placing her hands at her hips.

"Because I lost it when I got far away," the rainbow haired girl answered, lifting up her left knee, "And then it came back when I got close to camp," she added, having a suspicious expression on her face. All of a sudden, Pinkie gasped, catching everyone's attention.

"Being at camp is giving us all new magical abilities!" she realized, hopping up and down excitedly.

"Not all of us have gotten new abilities," Sunset mentioned as she stood up from her seat upon the table, "I haven't," she pointed out while gesturing towards herself, "but Twilight-" She stopped her remark at the moment she saw said girl shake her head in disapproval, having her arms wrapped around herself protectively. "...hasn't, either…" she quickly corrected, glancing up at the ceiling.

"Huh…" Applejack sighed deeply, "So much for my theory that leavin' CHS would mean leavin' any new magic business behind…" she muttered, gesturing behind herself.

"Hey," a voice chimed in, getting the group's attention as they all turned to see Sasuke standing there with Kyoya behind him.

"Sasuke!" Sakura said in surprise, blushing a little before trotting up to him, "Wh-Where were you?" she asked with a stutter.

"Taking care of things," he responded, glancing back at the one with him, who grimaced, "You need to see this," he told them, enticing the dark green haired teen to step out from behind him. Everyone gasped in surprise upon the sight they sight they beheld. The beyblader right forearm was decorated with black colored markings in the shape of waves that seemed like swirling air.

"What in the world…?" the Omni Force squadron leader uttered out of shock, going up to him with his girlfriend.

"Found these on my arm this morning," he admitted to them, "Got no idea what they are…" he added as they looked at him in surprise. Fluttershy was surprised upon seeing them herself, but then realized that he had been concealing them under his jacket before removing it. She saw that her boyfriend was wearing his own jacket, developing a concerned expression on her face.

"Alain…" she began, removing herself from his arms, much to his surprise, "take off your jacket," she demanded as he gasped.

"I-I don't think that's a good idea…" he stammered, catching the attentions of the others as they looked over at him.

"Please," the animal whisperer pleaded, evidently concerned. He grimaced slightly before reluctantly agreeing, slowly taking off the article of clothing and letting it plop down onto the floor. Everyone gasped as they saw that he too had black markings up his forearm, shaped like the wisps of flames.

"Hey, Rogue…" Sting chimed in with a stunned expression, catching his guild mate's attention, "we've seen those kinda marks before, haven't we?" he guessed to him.

"Yeah…" he replied with a nod, "Like the ones Gray Fullbuster had…" he noted, completely shocked.

"Gray?" Sunset questioned, arching an eyebrow towards.

"You probably heard about it," the white dragon slayer responded, getting her attention, "Apparently, Gray got something called ice demon slayer magic…" he explained, much to everyone's surprise.

"D-Demon slayer?" the Pokémon trainer stammered as he shook.

"Well that explains a bit…" Kyoya muttered, folding his arms over his chest, making his girlfriend blink in surprise.

"Whaddaya mean?" she asked, narrowing her eyes onto him. He sighed deeply before sticking his right hand out, opening it up to form a small tornado of air upon it.

"Wind?" the Sabertooth guildmaster inquired with a surprised expression, while everyone else was just as stunned.

"Yeah, this is pretty much all I can control right now," the beyblader replied, letting the vortex dissipate, "Same goes for him," he added, gesturing towards Alain, who widened his eyes as everyone stared at him. Sweat began forming upon his head as he stuck his own extremity out, forming a small, blue fireball upon it.

"Oh my…" his girlfriend uttered in shock, enticing him to immediate close his hand, making the flames go out.

"I don't know what's happening to me…" he said, somewhat afraid, "but I know this isn't what I wanted…" he stated, causing everyone to look at him worriedly.

"Rah…" his partner moaned out of concern, developing a saddened expression.

"How in the world did demon slayer magic from your world end up in ours?" Rarity asked her crush, getting his attention.

"We don't really know if it's even that kind of magic…" he replied with a scratch of his head, "but we can tell that it's not your usual Equestrian magic," he mentioned.

"Something at the camp must be making this happen," Sunset pointed out, placing her hand upon her head to try and think, while Twilight glanced off to the side nervously.

"Um, Gaea Everfree?" Fluttershy guessed while picking up the roll of paper towels on the floor, catching everyone's attention. All of a sudden, the doors opened, revealing a shadowy figure. The shy girl promptly shrieked in fright, enticing her boyfriend to go over and put his arms around her protectively. It turned out that the being was Gloriosa, who was carrying a stack of towels with Applejack's hat atop them.

"Applejack!" she cried out upon noticing her, "I was looking for you!" she pointed out, going over to her quickly, "Here, I brought you some towels and dry clothes," she said, putting the cloths in her hands and placing her hat upon her head. She was about to head off until she took notice of the cookie dough that was splattered about. "Uh, what happened in here?" she asked curiously.

"We're kinda trying to figure that out," the red and yellow haired girl answered, extending her hand out.

"Well, don't worry about it," the camp director reassured with a wave of her hand, "I got this!" she declared confidently, ready to head out as Sasuke stared at her with narrowed eyes.

"Gloriosa!" Sandalwood's voice cried out as the door slammed open, getting everyone's attention as they saw him at the entry way with Muffins, "I kicked my beanbag into the lake!" she told her, gesturing towards the body of water. The maroon haired girl's left eye twitched out of shock and annoyance.

"I'll get you another one!" she promised, immediately changing her expression to a bright smile.

"And I'm all out of arrows!" the gray skinned girl there mentioned, holding out a few broken ones in her hands.

"Say no more!" the freckled girl responded cheerfully, but looking somewhat freaked out, "New arrows coming right up!" she added in a confident tone as she pumped her fist. Just then, Timber came in between the two students.

"There you are!" he exclaimed upon spotting his sister, going up to her, "Filthy Rich is back," he told her in a hushed whisper, making her expression contort into a frown "Do you want me to handle it?" he asked.

"Absolutely not!" she responded angrily while hushing her voice, "I've got this!" she declared, trotting off with him after placing her hand onto Sunset's arm, causing her to suddenly hear screams of rage.

"Fluttershy, enough with the screaming!" she yelled to the animal whisperer, who relinquished herself from her boyfriend's arms again as she noticed the stare of suspicion from her friend.

"I didn't scream…" she pointed out, arching an eyebrow in confusion.

"For once…" Rainbow and Star uttered simultaneously out of annoyance.

"Nobody did," Rarity chimed in to the Omni Force squadron leader as she shrugged.

"Huh?" she said in confusion, placing her hand upon her head.

"Isn't that what happened yesterday?" Lector asked while putting his paws on his hips. Suddenly, the buzz of the loudspeaker caught everyone's attention, enticing them to glance over at it.

"Attention, campers!" Celestia's voice echoed through it, "Anyone who's interested in making floating paper lanterns," she continued,"please meet us by the picnic tables," she finished.

"I don't know about the rest of y'all," Applejack began as she set down the towels in her hands, getting everyone's attention, "but I've been lookin' forward to comin' here for a month," she told them with crossed arms, "Maybe we forget about this 'new magic' for a bit and just try to focus on enjoyin' our time at camp?" she suggested.

"Easy for you to say," Kyoya chimed in, folding his own arms behind his head, "You don't have these dumb tattoos…" he muttered, gesturing towards as she glanced at him blankly.

"I was also excited about designs I've come up with for the camp fashion show," the fashionista mentioned, clapping her hands softly out of excitement.

"And I've barely gotten to whoop anybody in tetherball," the athletic girl added with a pump of her left fist.

"I think we should try to figure it out," Sunset confessed to the group while looking up at the ceiling, "But if letting it go for now is what the rest of you want…" she started to offer to them.

"Abso-tootly-lutely!" Pinkie agreed as everyone voiced their concurring statements.

"So let's get goin'!" the rainbow haired girl exclaimed, about to race outside.

"Wait a sec," Sasuke chimed in, causing her to instantly halt herself and look back at him, "Don't you have something to tell your friends?" he inquired as she widened her eyes in surprise, turning around.

"Wh-What?" she stuttered in question, grimacing nervously. He merely narrowed his eyes onto her, making her blink out of confusion before widening her own in realization. "Why you little jerk!" she shouted, clenching her fists angrily, "I oughta'-!"

"Rainbow, wait!" the Omni Force squadron leader began before she could lunge out to attack the Uchiha teen, "Maybe now's a good time to tell them…" she admitted, causing her to develop a worried look in response, glancing back at her friends, who all seemed concerned.

"Huh…" she sighed deeply, rubbing her left arm nervously before stepping forward, "There's… something I need to tell you guys…" she confessed while looking away, "About me and Ben…" she added ashamedly. The partier girl suddenly gasped with a frightened expression, catching her attention.

"You guys didn't break up, did you?!" she wondered nervously, "Is he going out with that Cana girl you said you hated?!" she asked in an afraid manner, dashing up to her.

"No, we're still together…" she reassured in response, "At least I hope so…" she muttered in addition, causing her friends to look at her worriedly.

"What happened, darling?" Rarity asked in concern.

"Ben and I… got involved with this whole thing back in his world and once it was over…" the athletic girl started to say, "we hung out together for the night and…" she kept going, reluctant to say anything else, but willed herself to do so, "…I ended up sleeping with him," she confessed quickly with closed eyes and rosy red cheeks. She opened them up to see the shocked expressions on everyone's faces except for Pinkie's, as she blinked in confusion.

"What's so bad about that?" she asked with a shrug.

"Uh, Pinkie?" Applejack chimed in, getting her attention, "I don't think that's the kinda sleepin' she meant…" she told her, causing her to widen her eyes in realization, gasping loudly.

"Does that mean there's a baby Dashie or Benny on the way?!" she asked out of shock, making the cerulean skinned girl blush even redder.

"N-N-No!" she stammered in reply, waving her hands in a placating manner, "That didn't happen…" she muttered while letting out a breath of air, "I just wanted to tell you guys because… I felt really bad about it…" she admitted, "I didn't wanna lose someone who's been with me for so long by just waiting around…" she mentioned, sniffling a little as tears formed in her eyes. A moment of silence occurred afterwards as everyone was quite stunned. However, Fluttershy walked up to her and gave her a comforting embrace, shocking her a little.

"I think that means you and Ben are soulmates," she told her, placing her hands onto her shoulders after letting go, "You did say that he confessed to you first, right?" she inquired.

"Y-Yeah…" Rainbow stuttered in response.

"Then he must still love you, darling!" Rarity said reassuringly, "Feelings like that don't change easily," she mentioned with her hands at her hips, while Rogue looked at her in surprise.

"Rarity's right," the cowgirl agreed, "You're a sweetheart to 'im!" she stated, causing her to slightly grin and blush.

"Abso-tootly-lutely!" Pinkie agreed cheerily.

"We're all here for you, Rainbow," Sunset added, going up to her, "Always," she finished, causing her to smile widely.

"Thanks, girls…" she said in gratitude before they all gathered around her for a group hug. The multiversal guests all grinned at the touching scene, including Twilight and Spike. However, the glasses-wearing girl glanced nervously to the side, still thinking about how magic was causing so many strange things to happen on the campgrounds, and how she believed that the fault was hers.

END

Poor Twilight… She's really feeling the pressure of becoming Midnight Sparkle again. Also, shipping! Some comedy between Applejack and Kyoya, and Alain being overprotective of sweet little Fluttershy. Not to mention Rogue finally having enough of Rarity's fashionista antics. Little things coming along with Star, Sasuke, and Sakura, but they're still having fun!

Now what's the deal with the magic going around? And what caused Alain and Kyoya to get those markings on their arms? The mysteries are spreading, and answers are to come!

Stay tuned! But before we go, a wild scenario appeared!

SCENARIO

-Spirit Reaper and Tommy Oliver comes through a rift with some newer people-

Sunset Shimmer: Well, this is a surprise…

Kyoya Tategami: Who the heck are these guys?

Spirit Reaper: Hey guys. It's been a while, hasn't it? *stretches a little*

Sunset Shimmer: Sure has, Spirit. Where's the rest of your group?

Tommy: Raiden's taking over for a mission with the others. He got it under control.

Sunset Shimmer: *folds arms over her chest* I sure hope he did…

Spirit Reaper: But since we're here, we'd like to introduce you guys to our second addition to Team Spirit. Team Alpha is their name. *points at the others*

Alain Regulus: Team… Alpha?

Jason: Jason Lee Scott, the original Red Ranger. Mighty Morphin Red Ranger. I once led the Power Rangers as one of the first few members. I'm now leading Team Alpha.

Alain Regulus: Nice to meet you. *smiles and shakes his hand politely*

Spirit Reaper: *laughs sheepishly while rubbing his head* Our first encounter was amazing no doubt.

Snake: Solid Snake. I've known Raiden and has been on the same team with him. I'm second in command for this group.

Monkey D. Luffy: Ooh… *looks at him in awe*

Tommy: He may be on our side, but we're not always on friendly terms…

Monkey D. Luffy: *tilts head in confusion* Huh?

Maka: I'm Maka Albarn, a student in the DWMA. Death Weapon Meister Academy. I'm a meister and this is my friend and weapon Soul Evans.

Soul: But I prefer being called Soul Eater. *grins as he transforms into a scythe allowing Maka to grab hold of him*

Sting Eucliffe: Whoa, that's amazing!

Rogue Cheney: Like Erza Scarlet's requip…

Lector: But instead he actually turned into a weapon…

Frosch: I think so, too!

Takashi: My name is Takashi Komoro and she's Saeko Busujima. Understanding that we don't have any powers or anything else but choice of weapons.

Saeko: But surviving a zombie apocalypse seems to have its perks.

Sakura Haruno: WHAAAATT?!

Sasuke Uchiha: Zombie apocalypse? *shrugs and grins* Sounds cool.

Star Butterfly: Oooh!

Spirit Reaper: *shrugs as he nodded* When you follow a demon to another world, you'll know there's a possible connection.

Tommy: But mostly you get to team up with someone else after bringing some first impressions, or just a fight.

Kyoya Tategami: Tch. Sure… So, who's the last chick?

Applejack: Kyoya, don't be rude!

Uzume: Sekirei Number 10 Uzume. I'm happy to meet some friends of my Ashikabi.

Applejack: *raises eyebrow* Ashi-what?

Spirit Reaper: *looks away trying to hide his blush* She's referring to me. But it's true, but in my way of saying, she's my girlfriend.

Uzume: *gets close to Spirit with a small blush on her face and smiles* He can be a little hard to get from the way I describe my case.

Applejack: *smiles* Well ain't that adorable…

Kyoya Tategami: Ugh…

Spirit Reaper: Anyway... *looks at everyone with a grin on his face* I like to test my new abilities by challenging one of you to a fight. Any volunteers?

Sunset Shimmer: I guess I could use a bit of a sparring match… *stretches out her arms*

Sting Eucliffe: Ya sure, milady?

Spirit Reaper: Awesome. Then let's begin, shall we? *jumps a few feet away and summons his scythe*

Applejack: Looks like Spirit's pretty excited.

Tommy: He's been learning a lot since getting new members. Well, I gave him one of my morphers, he learned from Ryu, and he got new weapons and powers from other members of our other squads.

-Spirit's aura began to flare with his flames-

Sunset Shimmer: *ponies up*

Spirit Reaper: Sunset Shimmer... *spins scythe and points it at her* Get ready for this. Because you're in for a surprise. So let's rock it!

Sunset Shimmer: You got it! *forms golden energy wings upon her back before flying out at him*

END SCENARIO

And there's another wonderful scenario from SpiritReaper42! It's good to get back into the groove and finally bring in a new story. Sadly, I have some bad news to bear for you all.

Due to how writing's been constrained for me while in college, I'm planning on taking a longer hiatus at the end of 2017, or whenever I finish "Omni Force: WAR". I have officially announced that it will be my 40th story and likely will be done over the summer, should I have time from a job or such.

Don't worry, I can do plenty in a year's worth of time, but it's obviously constrained with work. I know you guys are supportive of me, but I felt that you should know of my status since this story's been put on hold for so long. Hopefully I'm able to finish it soon.
