As the clock turns chapter 11

Aeterna, One week after the events in the last chapter

I cowered behind Omni's legs as Storm threw insults at me. "Storm, the master would not like what you are doing." Omni said. That shut Storm up.

"Fine. But one day, he won't be there to protect you, little filly. And then you'll know what pain is." With those parting words, she retired to her room.

Omni turned his head to look at me. "Aeterna, you should be more careful. You know she doesn't like you."

I smiled feebly. "I'm sorry. She said that she was sorry and we should be friends." I told him, tears beginning to well up in my eyes. "But then she started yelling at me. Why doesn't she like me? What did I do to her?" I broke down crying, and Omni just held me in his hooves whispering words of comfort. A large black blob fell on top of us, making me see black and white cats and yellow canaries.

"Si, please get off us. And where did you get that pie?" Omni asked. Pie was a delicacy we rarely see in the crystal empire. She just held up a sign that said ' Welcome to Ponyville: Population-The more the merrier!'.

"Did you take a welcome sign? That's so cool!" I exclaimed while wiping the tears from my eyes, causing her to rub the back of her head with her hoof in embarrassment. "Omni, can we go to ponyville and get some food? Please?" I pulled the puppy-eyes maneuver which always got Omni to do what I want. He looked away trying to avoid my gaze. But my technique always works.

"Fine. But make it quick. Ponyville is in their territory." He sighed.

I shivered. Master had told us of the evil deeds that Celestia and Luna had done in their reign as princesses of evil. Yet the one city still full of life made the best treats known to all ponykind. I started drooling, thinking of the delicious food I would soon be able to eat.

"We need to restock food supplies anyway. Si, help me get her to the particle accelerator." Omni said to her. Si nodded and assisted him in lifting me in my sweet haze to the machine that he had made. Si grabbed a couple baskets and bags of bits, the currency used by equestrians and formerly by us in the crystal empire. Omni pressed a red button on the wall and quickly joined us on the transport pad.

I got a weird feeling of euphoria and pure happiness before that turned to discomfort. Traveling long distances always did feel weird. I closed my eyes to prepare for the pain that I was told would follow. I screamed when it hit, as did Omni. When I opened my eyes, I saw a multitude of colorful buildings, much prettier than ours back in the empire.

"Quickly, put these on. Omni handed me and Si a pair of contacts. I put mine in and my horn seemed to simply not exist and my coat became a pure white. My cutie mark morphed into that of a snow cloud. I looked at Si and she had become a pink unicorn with a Sakura for a cutie mark. You could easily tell she was not happy as she took out her contacts out and slammed them in Omni's eyes. He cried in discomfort, as he had become pink and feminine. I giggled at their interaction. Si took Omni's contacts and placed them on her eyes, becoming a dark red pegasus.

"Omni, you should see yourself." I told him, still laughing. Even Si had a rare smile.

Omni's eyes widened in fear as he turned to tell me off. "Oh, no. It's one of the elements."

A pink face greeted mine, a little too close for comfort. "Hiya, i'm Pinkie Pie. What're your names?"

"Hi, i'm Aeterna." Omni and Si had frantic looks on their faces when I told her my name.

"Nice to meet you, Aeterna. One of my friends has the same name as you." She said, climbing off of me.

"Cool! I might have a long-lost twin sister. And those are Si and Omnifarious. But you can just call him Omni."

Omni and Si both did a face-hoof and sighed. "We're incognito, Aeterna. You can't just go giving out our names like that." Omni told me.

"Would you guys like to be my friends?" Pinkie asked excitedly.

I started to tear up. "R-Really? A-Are you gonna yell at me like Storm does?" I asked.

"Of course not, silly. Friends don't yell at each other. That's what meanies do."

I broke down crying and hugged her, while whispering, "Thank you. Thank you."

"What's her biz?" Pinkie asked Omni.

"She's never had a friend besides me and Si before. Everyone would just pretend to be her friend and just turn on her." Omni explained to her, and I started shaking in fear as the memories returned, clutching onto my new pink friend as if it was life or death. Si put a hoof on his shoulder, signaling him to stop talking.

"You poor thing. Come on. I'll take you to sugarcube corner and give you some cupcakes. Cupcakes make everything better." Pinkie said to me with a smile.

I smiled back. "They are really good." We walked to Sugarcube Corner, and I was to engrossed in our conversation about sweets that I didn't notice Si and Omni disappear.


Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse, Omni and Si

"I remember this place." Omni said, as Si shadow-warped him to the nearest secure structurally sound, bigger on inside than it is outside building. "This is where those fillies came to plot how to get cutie marks. Cute little tykes." Si held up a small wooden sign with a picture of a cartoon brown bear walking. "What's that supposed to mean?" Si just shook her head.

"Hey, did ya'll hear what miss Cherilee told us we had to do for homework?" Si and Omni started panicking at the sound of the returning crusaders. Si seemed to disappear into the shadows of the clubhouse and Omni was cursing her for leaving him behind. He made a spilt-second decision and hid under the rug.

"Don't ask me. I was getting inspiration." A small orange and fuchsia pegasus said.

"Oh please, Scootaloo. You were just daydreaming. And she told us to find somepony we look up to and get their life story." A pony of purple, pink and white explained to her friends.

"Sounds hard. I'm gonna go get some more inspiration." Scootaloo said, yawning.

"You're just gonna take a nap!" Sweetie Belle accused.

"Call it what you want." Scootaloo stepped on the rug, earning a grunt of pain from Omni. "Um, guys? Did our rug always grunt?" Scootaloo asked.

Sweetie Belle and Applebloom came over to examine the now suspicious rug. "I don't think it was this lumpy either when Rarity gave it to me." Sweetie Belle observed.

"Hmm. I wonder what will happen if we jump on it." Scootaloo said.

"Don't jump on me!" Omni flew out from under the rug and ran face-first into the wall. The cutie mark crusaders shared a look and they all had the same thought.

"Time to get our interrogation cutie mark." Sweetie Belle said evilly.

"And this is the part where I leave." Omni said before running out leaving an afterimage. Si stepped out of the shadows and patted each of the crusaders on their head, leaving them confused.

"Who're you?" Scootaloo asked. Si took out her contacts and was subsequently glomped by the crusaders.

"Si, we thought you were gone!" Sweetie Belle cried into Si's chest.

"Wait, is Sky with you?" Scootaloo asked frantically. Si held up a sign showing a heart with an arrow through it, causing Scootaloo to blush. "I-It's not like that. H-He's just a friend." Sweetie Belle and Applebloom just looked at her with a knowing look.

Si held up a sign that said 'Denial gets you nowhere'.

"I'm not in denial. Do you know where he is or not?" Si nodded. All three little ones eyes widened in surprise.

"Really? Can you take us to him?" Sweetie Belle asked in excitement. "Although, I guess he'd be a she now."

"What?" Scootaloo screamed.

"I thought Rainbow Dash would have told you. They all switched genders and now Si's a girl. Just like Sky." Sweetie Belle explained to her.

Scootaloo started stammering. "But-But-But-"

Si smacked her with a sign and shoved it in her face. It read 'Butts are for pooping.'

The three fillies all made a disgusted face and said, "Eww."

She held up another sign that read 'Love is love no matter what the gender. And love is always Pure. Anypony who says otherwise is an idiot.'(Leon: Hint Hint, world.)

"For the last time, I do not like Sky!" Scootaloo yelled at her friends. All three had an evil smirk on their faces.

"Who ever said we was talkin 'bout Sky?" Applebloom asked, immediately causing Scootaloo to run out of the clubhouse, blushing a magnificent shade of pink.

Si tapped the two remaining crusaders and held up a sign. 'I have a task very important for the three of you and secrets I cannot reveal in writing. I cannot reveal this information to the princesses or the elements as they would do something drastic. But first, I need to find Omni.' After the sign was read by the two crusaders, Si vanished in a burst of Shadow fire.

"Her signs are awfully specific, aren't they?" Sweetie Belle asked her friend.

Before Applebloom could answer another sign appeared that said 'Yes. Yes they are.' And it imploded, leaving the two stunned.


Crystal Empire(Previously Unknown Location)

"So those fools think they can leave, can they?" Sombra asked his slave.

"Yes, master. They plan to betray you to the equestrians." Storm told him with a devious smirk on her face.

"Then they will know my wrath." King Sombra's glare was so dark that it could unnerve Fluttershy's stare.


To be continued...
