Twilight was busy going over some notes in the science lab at school when Gamma arrived.

"Mother Unit Alpha. May I request your assistance on a personal problem I wish to solve?"

Twilight turned to her daughter with a smile. "Gamma! Sure Honey, come in. What is it?"

"If my records are correct, it would seem both technological and magical elements played a big role in my creation."

"That's right. Don't ask me how we did it though. I honestly couldn't tell you." Twilight laughed awkwardly.

"And as my name implies, I am capable of feats that are magical in nature."

"That is what we figured, yes." Twilight nodded. "Is that what this is about?"

"Indeed, it is."

"I'm not an expert on magic like my other self from that magical land of ponies but I'll help if I can. What's the problem?"

"Well, you see... the issue is... Well for example, when I clap my hands..." Gamma clapped her hands and yellow bubbles manifested into existence. "Yellow bubbles appear. Apparently."

Twilight let out a fascinated 'Oooh' as the bubbles popped, leaving behind a relaxing aroma. Gamma then decided to demonstrate another issue she had.

"And when I snap my fingers..." With a single snap of her fingers, Twilight turned into a toad in a puff of smoke. "... I turn you into a toad. Apparently."

Gamma looked at her hands. "The problem is that I don't have any control over it. I never know what will do what. I can only tell that after I see the results. In fact, when I sneezed, I accidentally froze Father Unit Alpha in ice, and Uncle Units Ed and Eddy needed to thaw him out."

Gamma then picked up the toad-ified Twilight. "I was hoping you could help me to learn how to really control my magic. How to use my power. For example, how to turn you back to normal."

Silence, Toad Twilight did not say anything. Gamma was quiet for a moment as she waited for her transmogrified mother to respond, only to get a croak in response.

"What's going on in here?" Sunset asked as she, Flash, and Double-D came into the room as Gamma began fretting over Toad Twilight. The Android Girl noticed her other parents and ran over to them.

"Mother Unit Beta! Father Unit Alpha! Father Unit Beta! Thank goodness! I am in need of your immediate assistance! Will you help me?"

"Of course, Sweetie. What's wrong? What happened?" Sunset asked worriedly as Gamma led her, Double-D, and Flash over to the table that she had put Twilight on.

"I came to Mother Unit Alpha for advice on my magic, and I've accidentally turned her into a toad."

Flash looked surprised. "Wait, that's Twilight? Whoa, that's some good magic!"

"My word! What a discovery! I'm speechless!" Double-D said in fascination. "I mean this is an absolute coup, the rearrangement of living matter, and the-!"

Flash grabbed his boyfriend by the shoulders. "I thought you were speechless."

"How in the world did you do that?" Sunset asked.

"Well, I just snapped my fingers and-" Gamma tried to explain as she snapped her fingers, only for Sunset to turn into a toad as well. Panicked, Gamma turned to Flash and Double-D, who saw this happen as they looked at their daughter worriedly.

"I think we need to get the rest of the gang..."

"This is troubling..." Ben said as he and the rest of the Squad saw the Toad-ified Twilight and Sunset. They had even brought in Crydius and Crona, who were wondering what was going on themselves.

"What should we do, you guys?" Chris asked.

"Flash, you're a good-looking guy. Maybe a True Love's Kiss will turn them back to normal?" Junior suggested.

Flash blushed as he rubbed the back of his head. "Well, it's worth a shot..."

"I shall assist you," Double-D said.

Flash picked up Toad Twilight while Double-D picked up Toad Sunset and they both kissed them but to no avail.

"Guess Fairy Tale cliches aren't gonna help us," Ben said as he pinched his forehead.

"So, Princess and the Frog was BULLSHIT?!" Rina asked in disbelief and slight disillusionment.

"Oh dear, now what?" Crona asked worriedly.

"Try someone else? You guys remember Peridot from Class 2-C and Lapis Lazuli from Class 3-A? I swear that-" Crydius was about to suggest before Gamma stopped him.

"No! Everyone, your assistance is much appreciated but I've just been delaying the inevitable. This is my problem and I have to fix it."

"What do you plan on doing, Magical Techno Gamma-Girl?" Rolf asked. The Android Girl simply took off her hairband and looked apologetically at her toad-ified mothers.

"Mother Unit Alpha, Mother Unit Beta… I'm so sorry about all this. But I promise... I'll save you!"

Gamma's eyes began glowing brightly as the outline of a white magical glyph formed behind her. The robotic lines across her body glowed the same brilliant cobalt as her eyes as she held them out.

"ARCANE LIMITER REMOVED! ALL MAGIC RESTRICTION PROGRAMS DEACTIVATED! INITIATE ALPHA PROTOCOL: SHIVA!" An automatic voice boomed with magical power from within Gamma.

Everybody understandably panicked as Junior took out her paintbrush and rapidly painted several bricks which formed a convenient brick wall to protect the gang.

"SHE'S GONNA BLOW! RUN FOR IT!" Eddy yelled as he covered his ears.

"HIT THE DIRT!" Ben cried.

"SKIBIDI BOP MM DADA!" Chris shouted.

*KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

As the dust settled, everyone peeked out of the brick wall to see Sunset and Twilight on the ground, relatively unhurt. They both stirred and got up off the floor, coughing as they waved the smoke away.

"What the?!" Sunset pondered as she looked around.

"What in the world happened?" Twilight asked, her eyes darting back and forth before Gamma pulled the two into a hug.

"Mother Unit Alpha! Mother Unit Beta! I'm so happy you're okay!"

"Well, that was quite the experience, wasn't it?" Flash asked.

"Do it again!" Ed laughed as he clapped his hands while Crydius gave the lovable oaf a deadpan look.

"How about we DON'T and say that we DID?"

Considering that Gamma blew up a good chunk of the classroom in returning Twilight and Sunset back to normal, she was now grounded, and her punishment was that she needed to work on her magical powers with Ben and Chris. They would have also suggested Crydius help as well, but Twilight and Sunset didn't exactly trust him that much. Also, Junior was vetoed from training her out of fear of what she'd do to the poor android.

"Man, that was great! Like something out of Doctor Strange!" Eddy said as he made himself a sandwich while Gamma sat with the Peach Creek Squad in the living room of the townhouse.

Gamma still looked upset about the trouble she unintentionally caused but Chris put a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, chin up. We're gonna help you through this."

"How do you suggest we do that?" Eddy asked. "It's not like we can just reenact that song from Mulan or some crap."

Rolf nodded. "Rolf also agrees with Greedy Ed-Boy. What is it that you have planned for Magical Machine Gamma-Girl?"

Chris simply smirked. "Oh don't worry, I have plan...

The Peach Creek Gang and Gamma were in a large park and Chris had used his Duel Disk to summon a Scrap-Iron Scarecrow.

"Now Gamma, try to use your powers exclusively on this thing." Chris then walked past her as he, Ben, Enrico, and Double-D got behind Enrico's riot shields to protect themselves from the inevitable splatter zones given Gamma's seemingly high affinity to magic.

Gamma then held up her right arm, palm facing the scarecrow as her eyes and the lines across her body started glowing again, just like last time.

"Deactivating all magic restriction programs. Running training protocols. Scanning," Gamma said.

"Scan finished. Protocols applicable. Rerouting all available power to right arm," Gamma then grabbed her arm.

"Stabilizing. Increasing all power output to maximum levels. Ninety percent. Speeding up process," A blue aura started to surround Gamma as her power levels increased.

"One hundred percent. Pushing limits. One hundred and twenty percent. Danger! Maximum firepower. Taking aim. Limiters deactivated."

HERE IT COMES!

"All systems ready. Locking on to target. Target locked, ready to fire… Three… Two… One… Fire…"

And with that, the energy gathering in front of her palm was launched towards the scarecrow, blasting it apart and sending pieces of it flying everywhere, producing a giant ice crystal in its place.

As the four guys slowly poked their heads from behind the shields, Chris looked at where the scarecrow once stood as he slowly walked up to Gamma, who was currently steaming as the energy surrounding her faded and the glow disappeared.

"Firing successful. Target seems to have been hit… Scanning… Confirming hit."

"Wow, not bad, Gamma. Only, we're trying to get you to ensure you don't end up nuking people with magic blasts," Chris said as he started gathering the parts of the Scrap-Iron Scarecrow.

"Oh. Apologies, Uncle Unit Chris," Gamma said as she held her head down.

"Ah, it's no biggie. Now, once I rebuild this thing, do the same thing that you did before, but with less power behind it."

Suddenly, Gamma got conked in the head by a random baseball. Chris turned and glared at the person laughing, revealed to be Jeremy, more well known across the world as the Scout, bat in hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit ya… No, wait, yeah, I did. Ha! I make it look easy!"

As Jeremy started hurling insults toward Gamma and Chris rolled up his sleeves, Gamma's eyes started to glow again, but this time it was yellow.

Chris turned and noticed what was about to happen since he saw that Gamma's headband got knocked off, so he dropped the scrap that I collected and ran back behind the riot shields. Jeremy then noticed what was happening with Gamma and started to sweat nervously.

"Kay, this does not look good here, um..." Not looking good is one hell of an understatement there, dude.

Gamma then raised her hand in the air and started drawing rocks towards the air above it like a magnet, setting it ablaze once she was satisfied with the amount gathered. Oh boy, Gamma's pissed. Jeremy, if I was you, I would start running NOW.

She then tossed the flaming rock at Jeremy, setting him on fire and causing him to freak out.

"Fire, fire, fire! Oh, I'm burnin'! I'm-I'm burnin'!"

Chris looked at Double-D, Ben, and Enrico.

"We're definitely gonna have to tell Sunset and Twilight about this," Chris said.

"Agreed," the other three said in unison.

Chris then ran towards Gamma, grabbed her headband, and placed it back on her head.

Once that happened, the glow disappeared as Gamma looked around and turned toward Chris.

"Did I…?" Gamma asked worriedly as she started frowning.

"No no no don't worry Gamma. You didn't hurt any of your uncles or one of your fathers during that. And even though you set that guy on fire, he was being an asshole to you so that's pretty much grounds for teaching him a lesson. Although, think it might be best if we focus on your ice stuff before working on the fire," Chris said, to try and ease Gamma's worries.

While it somewhat worked, Gamma was still worried that something like that might happen again, and there's no telling when that might happen and who might be around when it does.

*Meanwhile*

"My brother is certainly doing well in teaching Twilight and Sunset's and Double-D and Flash's daughter," Crydius said as he and Tempest observed Gamma's training from afar. "She's showing quite the impressive feats of magic. I can't help but commend Twilight, Sunset, and Double-D for creating someone like her."

"I gotta admit, she's a feisty little devil," Tempest chuckled as she took a sip of cola.

Crydius smirked. "But even so, I can't help but feel excited. This is the most amazing display of raw magic power I've seen in a long time. Who could've thought those three would reach such a high level of Magitech skill! Doesn't that make you want to challenge it? Tie up the score as it were? If we were to make a little devil of our own…"

Upon hearing her boyfriend's words, Tempest spat out her drink as she turned to Crydius with a freaked-out expression.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!"

Crydius perked up. "Oh yeah, guess I haven't told you. There's a chapter in my journal about creating an animated anthropomorphic being out of inanimate matter. A golem of sorts. Ever since Gamma showed up, I've wanted to mess with that a bit."

Tempest relaxed and looked away, a red blush on her cheeks. "Oh… Then… I-… Nevermind."

"Why? What did you think I-?"

"NEVER! MIND!"

"SHE THOUGHT YOU MEANT 'SEX', BRO!" Ben cackled as he had been overhearing the conversation. Crydius' face went red when he realized this as Tempest angrily shot the brother of her boyfriend with a bolt of magic lightning.

"SHUT UP YOU GODDAMNED WANNABE GARY-STU!"

*Later*

Elsewhere within the school, a clay statue was lying down on a table while several strips of cloth lay perpendicular across its body. Within the room as well were Crydius, Tempest, and Ben.

"Now, you're probably wondering why you're here, correct?" Crydius asked.

Ben nodded his head in affirmative.

"Well, it's simple, really. I want you to be the first to bear witness to the quote, unquote, 'birth' of something incredible, and pretty much the only thing you really need to do is just 'bless' my creation's birth with your presence," Crydius explained.

Ben then gasped as he put his hands on his cheeks.

"Is this the start of you genuinely liking me?" he asked with sparkles in his eyes.

Crydius just stared at Ben with a deadpan face.

"Yeeeeaaahhhhh, let's… let's go with that. Anyways, just sit in that chair over there, and don't talk unless I tell you to."

Ben did as he was told with a smile on his face. "Oh ho, man. I'm so proud of my bro. Heck, if I had a nickel for every time I became an uncle, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, I'll admit, but it's amazing that it's happened twice, am I right?"

"Oi, shut it," Crydius said in annoyance. He then cleared his throat as he made Journal #2 and his spellbook float.

"Hear me, o' ye who roam beyond the mortal realms… Hear me, Old and Great Ones, looking down upon my lowly self… Hear me, for I have come to ask thine blessings… For tonight I challenge my mastery of the arcane arts. May Khorne's Fury, Tzeentch's Knowledge, Slaanesh's Impudence, and Nurgle's Resilience bless me tonight, as I attempt to breathe life into our clay creation," Crydius said as he grabbed a knife and slit his palm.

"Void of life and void of soul, soon you will be no longer. Hear me, my creation. May the gift of your creator flow through your veins. May it grant you mind and wit." He continued as he let his blood drip onto the clay figure.

"May the gift of your provider give you shape and form. May it grant you strength and agility. accept your gifts and let them vitalize you," Crydius said as Tempest dropped some hair clippings onto the figure.

Suddenly a mark appeared on the figure's forehead.

"Come, arcane magicks. Surge through my creation! May clay turn to flesh, and death turn to life! May silence become sound, and void become ego!"

As he said that, the clay started to turn purple, and the figure started to twitch and convulse as a white aura started to surround it.

"May Mother Kos smile on you and Abandoned Ebrietas guide you. Heed them, my creation. And finally, heed us! Join your creators in this mortal realm! Hear and follow our voices, as we speak thine name and bid thee: ARISE, ELDRITCH!" Crydius cried out as the newly christened Eldritch rose off the table and shifted into an upright position before smiling.

Ben just kept on smiling as all of this was going on. "Oh, I am going to have so much fun spending some uncle-nephew bonding time with him."

*The Next Day*

"So, this is the infamous Union Academy, is it? Oh, you poor ignorant souls..."

A small young, purple-skinned boy with dark magenta hair like Tempest Shadow was hiding behind a wall with a mischievous look on his face. He wore a black coat over a dark blue undershirt with black pants and black shoes.

"You have no idea what terrible power is about to descend upon you. What great evil lies waiting behind the corner? Hidden from all of you," as the boy monologued this, Vinyl Scratch looked at him in confusion before shrugging and walking off.

"You poor fools will never see it coming! You're no match for someone so cunning and clever, and ready for anything-!"

"LOOK OUT BELOW!"

"GWAAAH!"

The boy fell onto the ground after Applebloom accidentally crashed into him, spelling her books everywhere. The boy was relatively unhurt, but he became concerned when he saw Applejack's younger sister laying in front of him.

"Oh, my Khorne! Are you okay?!"

"Ouch... Yeah, I think so," Applebloom replied, rubbing her head. "Darn it, I missed the third step."

"Are you sure? Did you sprain something? Or bruise something? Twist? Broke?"

"I think I'm good. But thank you," Applebloom said as she collected her books, the boy nervously helped her with the endeavor.

"Are you sure? That was a nasty fall. Maybe you should lie down?"

"Thanks, but I gotta get these to class. Otherwise, Miss Lacroix will have my head."

"Oh! Let me help you carry them!"

Applebloom got up to her feet, giving the boy a thankful look. "Thanks, but I got it."

"You sure? I can come with you just in case."

"No need. I'm okay, I'm okay!"

"Well, be careful."

As Applebloom left, the boy went back to hiding behind the wall of the stairs and doing his evil monologue, only for a new face to interrupt him... or rather, two.

"What's up with you, you little imp?" Ben asked playfully as the boy gasped in shock.

"U-Uncle Ben!"

"Hey, little dude, what's happening?" Ben asked, playfully ruffling the boy's head.

"Oh, you know, planning the eventual downfall of Union, the usual," Eldritch said in response before spotting Gamma walking by, reading a book called 'What Is Love?'.

"AHA! I've finally found you! Today's the day you meet your match, Gamma Sparkle!" Eldritch called out as Gamma turned towards him.

"Or... is it Gamma Shimmer? Or maybe Gamma Skyrise? Gamma Sentry? I, uh... don't actually know which one of your... parents... um... I'm sorry, am I being insensitive?" Eldritch asked as he pressed his fingers together in worry and embarrassment.

"Hm? Oh, negative. I was not designated a specific last name. It is no point of concern," Gamma answered.

With renewed confidence, Eldritch got back into the pose he had before he started having doubts over her name.

"Oh. Well then, prepare yourself! For I, am ELDRITCH! My mom and da-! Uh, I mean, my creators made me to be the ultimate magical artificial life form! So, I have come to challenge you! To prove once and for all who is superior!" He called out as he pointed at Gamma.

"I see. So... you have come to fight me, then?" Gamma asked.

There was silence from Eldritch for a couple of seconds, before he went back to pressing his fingers together.

"... No. We shouldn't fight. Fighting's bad. We could get hurt."

This caused a small sweat drop to appear on Gamma's head.

"Then what?" She asked.

Ben then cleared his throat as he held up a deck of playing cards.

"I may have a solution to that."

*Later*

Crydius and Tempest wondered what was holding Eldritch up, so they went to find him. What they saw was... interesting, to say the least. Tempest was not amused.

"So... I'm going to need an explanation."

Crydius stuttered as he flipped through his spellbook.

"I'm just as lost as you, here. I mean for crying out loud, I called upon all four Chaos Gods, multiple eldritch horrors, and every Great or Old One in the book! So why isn't he trying to throttle her?!" Crydius said in annoyance.

"Yeah well, something tells me the vast majority of them missed your calls," Tempest said as Eldritch and Gamma were busy playing Go Fish.

"Sunset, look! Gamma's made a new friend!" Twilight said as she and Sunset passed by.

"Ugh, as if Ben writing shipping names for the two of us wasn't bad enough, now we've got this crap to deal with," Crydius said in annoyance as he and Tempest left.

Later, Gamma and Eldritch were heading to the cafeteria together.

"So, since I won the game, does that make me the 'Ultimate Magical Artificial Lifeform'?" Gamma asked.

"Of course not! You won by LUCK, not SKILL!" Eldritch barked. "Besides, who would decide their destiny by playing a children's card game? That's just silly!"

Elsewhere, Chris sneezed loudly.

As Gamma and Eldritch talked, they were being watched by Applebloom and Scootaloo.

"Oh, hey! There's Gamma and that cute kid I told you about. Wanna ask 'em to join us?" Applebloom asked her friend.

"Sure. Now that Sweetie Belle eats her lunch with Silver Spoon every day, we've got room."

Suddenly, a blur bumped Scootaloo's shoulder, causing her to drop her lunch bag on the ground.

"Behold! Trixie's post has already gotten over twenty likes!" Trixie Lulamoon, the so-called 'Great & Powerful Trixie' boasted to Octavia and Vinyl.

"For the last time, Trixie. We don't care," Octavia said in annoyance, not really liking how Trixie rudely pushed Scootaloo away. However, she didn't have to dwell on it as Eldritch had already moved forward and grabbed Trixie's arm.

"Ow! Hey, what are you-?"

"You just bumped into someone and spilled their lunch all over the floor..." Eldritch coldly said as a black and green aura surrounded him, his eyes becoming hollow black with glowing red irises.

The green aura soon expanded to form the shape of Nurgle, who grinned darkly at Trixie as his noxious essence echoed off him.

AP̴̥̑̄Ọ̷͛͛̆LOGĬ̷̠̖̻ŹẼ̵̝̉̕

Terrified of the grinning Chaos God staring into her soul, Trixie began shaking and nodding as Octavia and Vinyl looked both shocked and a little freaked out themselves.

"I-I'm sorry... I-I'm very very sorry..."

Eldritch let go of Trixie's arm, his aura fading as he sighed. "As long as you understand. Geez, people's manners nowadays."

Eldritch then went over to Scootaloo and Applebloom with Gamma to make sure she was okay.

"Cheer up, Scootaloo. You can share my lunch," Applebloom said with a smile.

"And Gamma and I don't necessarily have to eat. You can have some of ours," Eldritch added as Scootaloo smiled at her friends.

"Aww, you guys are the best."

As for Trixie, she was slumped against the wall, her entire body white as a sheet and her spirit leaving her body, several years of her lifespan having been drained in an instant.

Just as he was about to sit down though, Eldritch noticed Ben at a nearby table with some other people.

"Guess those guys must be Uncle Ben's friends. I should let them know who their future evil ruler is," Eldritch thought to himself as he walked over to Ben's table.

"Hi~!"

Everyone except Ben was greatly confused when Eldritch ran up to them.

"Apologies for that. It seems that my kid is a little more exuberant than I expected," Crydius apologized.

"Awww, he is so small and cute!" Ed said, giving the boy pats on the head.

"Hey, hands off! I am Eldritch and I am the soon-to-be dark ruler of the world!"

"Awwww, Cryd's broodiness rubbed off on him!" Chris playfully said as he messed with the boy's head. Tempest just rolled her eyes as she slung an arm around the boy's shoulder.

"This is Eldritch. We made him from a demonic ritual using a clay mannequin."

"And I blessed him!" Ben proudly added.

"What I'm confused about is why he's so... childish and sweet," Crydius added, rubbing his chin. "Like I told Tempest before coming back here, I swear I invoked the four Chaos Gods, multiple cosmic horrors, and the Great Old Ones in his creation."

"Maybe Nurgle's love rubbed off on him too much," Ben suggested as Rolf perked up, a shiver running down his spine.

"Nurgle? The Lord of the Flies? The Bringer of Pestilence?" The Son of a Shepard asked nervously. He had heard of the Plague God and while there were those that spoke praises of him, most of what he heard was nothing good.

"Don't forget Tzeentch, Khorne, and Slaanesh. They were invoked in his creation as well," Crydius pointed out and that just made Rolf even more worried as a result.

"Awesome! I have a Chaos Marine collection at home!" Ed cheered before pouting. "Curse you, forgetfulness!"

"You mean the tales of the Outer Gods are true?!" Double-D asked in amazement. "I must learn more!"

"And here I thought you were a science nerd..." Tempest Shadow muttered with a roll of her eyes.

"But why did you guys create the little runt?" Eddy asked as Eldritch was whining at being coddled by Rina.

"Considering Twilight, Sunset, and Double-D's creation of Gamma, it had inspired me to create a little spawn of my own. Of course, when I pitched the idea to Tempest, she was a little thrown off guard," Crydius explained.

"Yeah, because I thought you meant to make a kid the old-fashioned way!" Tempest barked back at her boyfriend.

"Oh my..." Double-D giggled bashfully when he recognized the implication. Ben gave Crydius a trollish look as the raven-haired Dark Mage glared at his brother in annoyance.

"You are going to hold this over me for a while, aren't you?"

"YUP!"

Wanted to get the introduction of Eldritch out of the way. All rights go to Crydius as per usual, I'm just using his OCs for fun with his permission.
