Steven awoke on his floor, feeling weaker than ever. Something just didn't feel quite right. He remembered eating a blue flower then passing out, but he did not know why he felt like he was hangover. The looked at this body and saw what the problem is. His regular clothes (jeans, denim long-sleeve shirt) were now skinny jeans that clung to his thin legs. His messy brown hair and the mustache/beard combo on his face were changed too. He had a handlebar mustache and combed well gelled hair that was smoother and silkier than before. He also was wearing a beanie, and all his arm and leg strength had disappeared. His boots were now vans, and he was wearing a vintage t shirt. "I can even…" Steven mumbled under his breath. He realized what the flower had done to him. He was now a hipster.
"Trixie, Trixie!" Steven called, sprinting as fast as his new body could take him. He tired quicker than he usually did, and barely made it back to the castle without blacking out due to fatigue. The blue mare came out and approached him. "What do you want" Trixie asked. "Listen, you don't know much about me except for the fact I have been training you for two days. But I need you to kill me". Trixie looked started by this but he continued on "I can't do anything like this, I feel my body changing and wanting to complain about society more than ever. Do this favor and I will give you everything I have here. " His voice slowly began to get to a higher pitch as he spoke. "Damn, I could go for a latte right now" he mentally cussed at himself for realizing what is going on. He was becoming one of them. "Trixie you haven't killed me yet so I dub thee useless." He ran off to find twilight instead.
Twilight was talking to rarity as he approached. "Twilight, do you have any information on blue flowers in the ever free? I think something in it changed me and... Oh hey rarity nice mane style" rarity smiled at the comment and he lightly smacked his head realizing what he said. "Aw shit… see twilight? The flower changed me and made me nice and different and I don't like it!" twilight pondered for a second and had a look of eureka on her face. "Oh you mean the poison joke, I can ask zecora for an antidote and…" Steven cut her off with his hand. Twilight knew that was going to be a routine of him doing so. "Where does this zecora live?!" Steven barked shaking twilight by her shoulders. "She lives in the ever free and…" twilight couldn't finish as he jumped out the window.
Steven was falling from the top of the castle. "Trixie catch me!" Steven roared while falling. Trixie jumped at the surprise and caught him with her magic. He patted her on the head, tilting her purple hat. He ran towards the ever free once more and began to look for anyone or anything that was a zecora. He found an odd looking wooden hut and busted through the door. "Is zecora here, I need help!" Steven found a zebra with a grey, black and white body and Mohawk. She had lots of gold rings on her. "Zecora is who I am, I may be of help strange man". She spoke in a rhyme with an accent he hadn't heard anyone else use. "I ran into one of the blue flowers and now I'm changing" zecora trotted and grabbed a potion. "The flower is poison joke, and it seems you are broke. This potion that I had to brew, will be the cure for you" he took the potion and drank it. It was very bitter but he could feel himself coming back. He liked this. He didn't need any old or vintage items to clutter up his weapon littered room.
"So zecora, do you rhyme every time so say something? Steven asked, helping her in making a potion. "You want to know about my rhyme, I do it all the time" Steven hadn't really expected much different. "At last the potion is done, now I have another one" Steven being his curious self-asked "what potion did you make?" she smiled and took a soup ladle and began to pour some in an empty glass. "This is a potion of love, making some pony seem like an angel from above." Magic love potions? Steven could have used one back in recent years. "So zecora, tell me about yourself"
Steven talked for hours to the zebra. The potion cured the poison joke while they were talking. Steven felt the side effects however, as when his muscles formed and regrew it wasn't a very pleasant feeling. He liked her company, and she seemed very wise. When he was walking back to the castle he noticed two larger beings, the princesses. He planned on just waving and continuing on to help train Trixie but they had other plans. "You, ape being! Stop and drop all weapons!" the darker and slightly shorter one boomed. He wasn't going to drop his hidden knife that was for sure. The two stomped over and starred daggers at him. "You are to be executed for the assault on me and my sister!" she once again screamed, this time at point blank. Apparently they didn't remember his apology when they were wounded, or just didn't forgive him. "I'm sorry ma'am, but I was under a spell and had no intent on hurting either of you". This time celestia spoke. "You are too violent and unstable for our likings." She moved her head, signaling six guards to approach. "Execute him" the darker one spoke. This time quieter but colder. They restrained his arms with magic as the guards approached.
Steven knew it was now or never. He kicked the side of his boot (his boots came back when the potion kicked in, cause magic. Literally this time) the kick activated a hidden flash grenade he built into them. After all, you never know when you will need one. The flash blinded them and the magical grip was released. He pulled out his knife and lunged forward, slitting a guard's throat. He swung in the opposite direction, his blade clinging to another guard's skull. He took off towards the forest, leaving the momentarily crippled enemy's or dead behind. His knife will be remembered as an honorable sacrifice. He ran off towards the forest unarmed and preparing for the worst. He knew he was going to change this world once more by the time this was over.
After roaming for a good twenty minutes Steven eventually found the cottage he had visited before. Instead of help, he was going to give her an offer she would hate him for. "Fluttershy let me in, I don't have much time" angel bunny opened the door and ushered him in. "thanks angel, I owe you. Is fluttershy around?" the pony in question entered the room. "Hello Steven, what do you want?" she asked, kindness in her voice. Steven was really going to hate himself for telling her this. "Hey fluttershy, don't be mad at me but I am going to either be dead or a ruler" she looked confused and upset by his words. "The princesses have a grudge on me from the changeling incident, and they want me dead. Do you want to help me take over and well… kill them? If you hate me I understand but…" she cut him off by poking him on the waist. She smirked an evil smirk and he never expected to see this side of her. "Sure, Will join you."
He and his new adorable accomplice in government destruction headed off back to the castle. He knew of the risks, but he needed Trixie and the F.Y.S if he wanted to make it easier. He turned invisible (a/n he had basically mastered invisibility and combat magic by now) and found his way to his living quarters. He opened the door quickly and rushed in still invisible. The 'breach and clear' was unsuccessful as Trixie was standing over two dead guards. "God damn Trixie nice work!" he hopped into the F.Y.S bot and told Trixie to crawl into the bot as well. He set the bot to maximum speed and jumped out of the window, activating the jetpacks before landing. He, Trixie and fluttershy were going to take over a government of get maimed trying. He wouldn't lose as long as they were with him. "I told myself I would change this world" he spoke aloud, looking at his new battle companions. "Let's change this world together on a massive scale. They headed off towards canterlot with a goal in mind and an objective at heart. Change this world, protect and make some friends doing it. He was Steven badass, god of whoop ass-ery and element of destruction. He was going to make the title count and have meaning. The city came into view and he spoke calmly "come friends, let us show the world of what the willpower of victors can do"
