Near Foal Mountain, everything was shaken by a powerful bang, shock and the force of detonation, a great crater was created, created by the pure power of a human thoracic laser, Alex in steel black and red armor with steel wings rushed over the riddled earth shooting it once with a chest laser, then from a golden point on forehead constantly changing positions of attack, from east to west, rocket engines roared and Alex sped faster and faster throwing both red missiles and fireballs from his hand over the flames, the ground was again shaken by another series of explosions, and in the end everything around was touched by the power of time.
Alex slowed down his flight, replacing the steel cybernetic armor with a scarlet cloak, and slowly falling to the ground, he turned his right hand and the power of time re-fused and recreated what was destroyed and riddled, tons of earth and rocks became one again, Alex put his feet on the top of a low hill recently of the great crater and everything around it was a coherent whole again.
The silence, however, did not reign for long, everything was shaken again by the changing powers and objects in the human hands, Alex first grabbed the ice bow and fired from it a series of repeated four arrows shooting far into the sky where the explosion took place and the whole sky was covered with a delicate glow falling snow, the snow glow was quickly shaken by the next powers, the first of which was a powerful wave of thunder fired from both the thunder hammer and the electric ax, Alex swung his hammer and ax twice, sending four waves of thunder breaking everything, even distant clouds.
The sky was shaken again by another wave of fire fired from a fiery sword held with both hands, everything sparkled and exploded and the three powers, the ice of lightning and fire fused together, led to an even greater detonation, even the great peak trembled and the sky shone with a strong glow and sudden silence and another shock.
This time Alex assumed his most terrible form of a fiery ethereal titan spitting his ethereal fiery breath into the sky, a ray of indescribable power rose high into the sky to fly somewhere unknown to explode in a truly spectacular way in the space beyond the moon and the sun, when everything died down this time for good, Alex returned to his normal size and looked back to a safe place where four ponies stood examining human powers and abilities.
The first researcher was the navy blue mare alicorn Twilight Sparkle, which could finally satisfy her hunger for knowledge, curiosity and the desire to get to know her fiance more, the second one who watched was a lavender unicorn mare with a slightly curly mane in three colors Starlight Glimmer, currently noting everything she saw and heard, the third watched and alone under the watchful eye of jealous alicorn was a maroon unicorn mare with a red mane and a renewed horn, Tempest Shadow, who even invited herself to the present event at Foal Mountain, and, as always when she was close to a human, was closely watched by Twilight, the last of the followers and taking careful notes was a bearded sage in a stellar garment the unicorn Star Swirl.
After Alex finished his show of Star Swirl's power, he carefully and closely watched the man as he listened to his every word and the exchange between him and the ponies.
- using my powers is automatic for me, it's like riding a bike or breathing, you can do it, it's like dancing, you know practically every step, but as I saw it myself, my greatest talent is the ability to adjust, improvise, predict, it's my personal skill derived from my own madness. Alex said explaining his own powers.
While listening to Star Swirl, hearing about the fit and knowing the sense of problems in the form of back pain, he immediately checked if everything Alex said was real here, first a stone was lifted up for centuries and then it went straight to the man and the man's right eye trembled and he looked at the summons. behind him and in less than a second he held out a steel gloved hand firing a hand laser.
The laser fired, the boulder broke into small pieces and the surprised Star Swirl looked at the picture of confirmation of his own fears, Alex actually foresaw, sensed and stopped what could harm him.
- so it's true, you also have a Pinkie Pie-like sense within you, like your back. Star Swirl asked, but before receiving an answer he met the sharp gaze of the three mares.
- Star Swirl what was it, you could hurt him. Tempest Shadow said, flicking the bearded sage sharply.
- try it again and you will deal with me, hear!. An angry maroon mare with a renewed horn added.
- with me too, and know that I can really do a lot. Said equally furious Starlight Glimmer showing his hoof at his eyes and the eyes of the bearded sage.
- it's easy for me to be fine, besides, it's a very healthy symptom of curiosity, and curiosity must always be satisfied with the truth. Alex said.
- Alex, you see curiosity in it, maybe it's curiosity, but in heavy execution, Star Swirl, I hope you won't do it again because I have an eye on you. Twilight Sparkle said, making the same gesture to the bearded scholar as her lavender friend.
- this, yes, yes, sorry, but my curiosity, I want, I need to know something else, I promise I will not do anything wrong. Star Swirl said avoiding the menacing glare of the three mares.
- ask, but I have an eye on you. Twilight said stepping back from the bearded sage.
- Mr. Alex.
- I prefer Alex, without my lord, I have not deserved it yet. Alex said.
- yes, yes, I have a question, when you got into our world you were gifted with great powers, this is a symptom of teleportation and focused imagination on heroes and bad guys from movies and comics, my question is whether you are able to learn new powers for example, reading a new comic or watching a new movie. Star Swirl asked, his heart heavy until Alex shook his head.
- no, I am not able to learn new powers by reading or watching, also I was not able to learn all the powers of all the characters that appeared in famous comics and movies, such a hero climbing walls and shooting a spider web, this is one of the my favorite characters and yet I didn't reach for his power, apparently my ability was limited but I don't regret it, the effect is really great. Alex said and his words soothed the bearded sage so much that he gasped which did not escape the attention of everyone except the man himself.
- despite my powers, I still feel, I'm sure that I did not enough to deserve your friendship. Alex added which distracted everyone.
- Alex, don't even say that, what you did for us, for me, is very important to me and everyone, especially to me. Tempest Shadow said as she approached the human.
- Tempest, don't forget, I'm here and I have an eye on you. Twilight said, exchanging a glance with the feisty mare.
- and this is how you learned how to bake cakes, because I do. Tempest Shadow said shocking the princess of friendship, and Twilight rattled her teeth.
- you. Twilight hissed at a smug maroon unicorn mare.
- hey, I can bake cakes too, how can I teach you. Starlight Glimmer said winking at her friends, this time Twilight was not afraid because she knew Starlight Glimmer was busy after all.
- I'm a little afraid, it's today. Alex said and his words surprised everyone, well, almost everyone, but the most bearded sage who began to watch with curiosity and listen to the man sitting down in front of the fire.
- you are afraid of something, it is impossible. Starlight Glimmer said as she walked over to the fire.
- who ?, a madman like you can be afraid. Tempest Shadow asked looking the man's eyes through the smoldering fire.
- maybe it's not a fear but rather a slight fear, but I am a little stressed. Alex said, looking solely at the fire.
- you are stressed but with what?. Asked Star Swirl himself, unable to bear to know who or what Alex fears, Twilight herself answered the sage's question.
- what ?, you are afraid of future in-laws, not serious. said Star Swirl, not believing the words of the navy blue princess alicorn, and standing next to Starlight Glimmer knew everything about matters related to her parents-in-law, visiting the human world got to know the stereotypes about mother-in-law.
- I know, in the human world, my mother-in-law, especially my mother-in-law, is the worst one, that she flies on a broomstick, that she is a witch, this type of stereotypes are passed down from generation to generation, I even know such a cool poem about my mother-in-law. Starlight Glimmer said, smiling under her breath.
- what a rhyme. Tempest Shadow asked.
- and such. "The mother-in-law was walking in the forest, she was bitten by vipers, the vipers died and the mother-in-law is still alive". You know, mother-in-law has worse venom than a viper. Starlight Glimmer said, laughing along with the last word as the other ponies stared at the laughing mare.
- man, since people's culture has such a stereotype then they are really weird and you Alex have a right to worry a little. Tempest Shadow said.
- on the other hand, you have nothing to worry about, they will not cut your head off, with your powers it is rather impossible. Star Swirl said.
- no, I'm not so scared, I'm just a little, no matter, I can do it, I can handle it, because what can go wrong. Alex said, getting up probably from in front of the fire.
- I hope that for today's meeting you will wear something special, not the same clothes, green sweatshirt and brown pants all the time. Twilight said, poking the man on the back.
- of course, I'll wear that Rarity gala dress. Alex said unbuttoning his sweatshirt which was left without the reaction of the maroon mare and her gaze the same as the navy blue alicorn.
- okay okay, Alex you can change at home well, and tell me when you finally sew that hole in your pocket. Twilight said.
- and I'll do that later.
- wait, you still have this hole, after all I saw how your clothes can regenerate with you. Star Swirl inquired again.
- normally yes, I can regenerate damage to my clothes, unless I accidentally tear my clothes or deliberately tear my clothes, Twilight will return the sweatshirt for repair at the next meeting with your parents, I will give it back to Rarity, after she made me a gala outfit, I completely trust her, her the skills in tailoring are downright astonishing for her and her helpers. Alex said adjusting his sweatshirt and putting out the fire and standing next to Star Swirl gasped as a plan sprouted in his head.
- well, let's go in two hours, my parents should be there. Twilight said.
- wait, I only have one question, the last one, I promise. Star Swirl said, wanting to know everything, to know the answer to the last question.
- I'm listening.
- tell us what kind of powers you can give to us, all or only the chosen ones. He asked Star Swirl and his question was also very interested in Starlight Glimmer, who immediately pulled out her journal ready to write down new knowledge about the man, even Twilight in a hurry was curious about it as much as Tempest Shadow, but it was in her interest to accompany her protagonist as long as possible.
- I cannot give you all the powers, only those related to objects, the thunder hammer, electric poplar, shield, fire sword, ice bow, scarlet cloak, golden ray crystal from the forehead, steel cybernetic armor and wings, but powers such as form titan, minimization, power over flames or red power, power of portals and power of time, this I cannot give you, but everything I give you will serve you at your will, and the use of a hammer, for example, will be automatic, see. Alex said, extending his right hand giving the bearded sage a scarlet cloak, a thunder hammer and a blue shield with a cubic white symbol.
Star Swirl, fulfilling his dream, raised a steel hammer and then soared into the sky laughing loudly, in the first movement his mind was completely automated with the power given, Star Swirl, carried with a scarlet cloak, flew over the heads of three mares and a man to instinctively throw the blue one with all his might with a shield, the shield sped at the thrower's will, hitting the great tree, cutting it in half, and bouncing off three more to finally return to the thrower's hoof.
Delighted Star Swirl, carried by power and instinct, fell to the ground, striking the hammer of thunder, releasing great waves of power, blowing up the earth and rocks, and the fragments of rock fell on the observers stopped by the power of the red power of man, Star Swirl pulled the hammer glowing from lightning close to the ground, releasing a powerful beam of lightning, blowing up the standing ones. on the way of the rock and in the last blow he raised the hammer high, summoning a great and powerful lightning, creating a great crater in the stone earth.
Star Swirl looked at the area of destruction with great admiration he could not fight his own fascination, soon the fascination turned into something that Star Swirl had to face, it was an image of a man and the power he wielded, he could use this power to fight a man but on the other hand he was alone and the world was still staring at man as in a hero, Star Swirl knew that an attack could end very badly for him, first he had to provoke or discredit a man, but the temptation to fight him, to show who was there the stronger was too much, everything ended by a gesture of the man himself, suddenly the scarlet cloak disappeared and the shield and hammer returned to Alex's hands and disappeared.
- Well, anyone else has any questions for me. Alex asked.
Star Swirl was silent, Starlight Glimmer shook her head and Tempest Shadow grinned, wanting to play a little trick on her friend.
- I have one such question, Alex, will you have time to visit me tomorrow, I'll be baking a chocolate cake. Tempest Shadow said, and her question caused the navy blue princess to grind her teeth and hiss.
- Tempest you !, Alex is busy tomorrow, I'll be making a chocolate cake too, Alex. Twilight said and her words surprised every man who jumped a little.
- this is. Alex said surreptitiously winking at everyone.
- open the portal, we have a lot to do. Twilght said, lifting his head high.
Alex smiled at all, opened three two portals and with Twilight and Starlight Glimmer crossed the first one leading straight to the capital, Tempest Shadow made the second portal to Ponyville, and Star Swirl stayed at Foal Mountain for half an hour pondering the words of the man and this. what sprouted in his head, related to the clothes of a man.
- if it's true what the comics write, his power can be contained there, and if so, it is enough to reach for it, ha ha ha ha. laughed ominously, Star Swirl had in his hooves a complete plan of action for the future in the event of the success of the first phase of the plan, or even in the event of failure.
An hour later and a stop in front of Canterlot Castle, the Princess of Friendship stood at the station waiting for the arrival of her parents with the man standing next to her, Alex, as promised, was dressed in a green shirt, white pants and a blue jacket and a slight fear of the unknown, all the more so when he and Twilight saw a train coming.
- take it easy Alex, it's not a human world, remember. Twilight said, nudging the man.
- I know and this is my courage, but if I wanted to escape, you would catch me, yes. Alex jokingly said, and Twilight winked at him and nodded her head.
- You have my word I will not let you escape and you will not have to.
Finally, the train stopped and the ponies, seeing the man, immediately focused all their attention on him, even the larger niches of the princess of friendship, finally a pair of unicorns came out of the train, running to greet their beloved daughter.
The unicorn that ran in front was a dark blue unicorn with a navy blue mane of Night Light Twilight's father, right behind him was a white-gray unicorn with two-color mane, purple and white, Twilight Velvet, Twilight's mother, both parents ran to hug their daughter, running with the vigor of rejuvenated by the shock of time by six years.
- Twili. Twilight Velvet said as she hugged her taller daughter.
- it's good to see you. Said Night Light also hugging his daughter.
- good to see you too, good to see you. Twilight said surreptitiously looking at the man standing by the side and the one who saved everything including her parents and herself.
- Good morning. Finally, Alex took the first step to say hello to both parents.
Both Twilight Velvet and Night Light looked at the man with an unreadable intention and emotions until Twilight Velvet broke the first ice.
- man, you are that man, well, Twilight told us a lot about you and wrote in letters, you are like my daughter described you, you are so cute. Twilight Velvet said with a chuckle.
- mom. Twilight Sparkle said on the verge of a whisper, blushing slightly.
- well, it must be said that you are a piece of a pony, I mean a man. Said Night Light scratching his navy blue mane knowing that he had made his first blunder for good morning.
- nice to meet you, the more that I can finally meet Twilight's parents, I'm honored to meet you, I am. Alex said walking closer to the two parents with outstretched hand.
Before Alex was able to introduce himself fully, he was quickly hugged by his mother and father, which finally broke all fears and barriers in him, because he had never felt something like this in his world, knowing and seeing that stereotypes about in-laws in this world do not apply.
- man, we know who you are and thank you for saving, if not for you, our world, oh it's scary to think. Night Light said.
- and most importantly, you saved our daughter, today, after ten years, our daughter finally found someone, because you know that I will not live to see this wonderful day when someone will take our daughter to the altar and someone as wonderful as you, thank you. Said Twilight Velvet.
- out of curiosity, when are you planning a wedding?. Night Light asked.
- soon, and here are the invitations for the rest. Come on, we'll discuss everything in the castle. Twilight said as she handed the two unicorns wedding invitations, meanwhile one of the ponies emerged from the wagon handing over a small baggage of two unicorns.
- I'll take care of you. He visited Alex, picking up heavy luggage from the ground, which for him was light as a feather, which also did not go unnoticed by both parents.
- he really is surprising how we go. Twilight Velvet, delighted again, said.
- yeah let's go. Said Twilight Sparkle as she led her parents and Alex to her chamber in the castle.
In the main room of the princess, everyone sat down in front of the table with cookies and a jug of apple juice, the parents again watched with delight as Alex used one of his powers according to their wishes, pouring apple juice with his red power to each of them.
- this is the better niche of the magic of levitation because it sometimes fails. Night Light said.
- thank you, come my power is nothing compared to what I get from all of you, friendship, love, all that I have not found in my world, I owe gratitude to all of you, and thank you. Alex said, looking everyone in the eye as always, honestly speaking from the bottom of his heart.
- Alex, please, know that you have done too much for all of us, and your world, remember those memories are past. Twilight Sparkle said, giving her left hoof to a man to cheer him up after the past times and memories, and the sight of Twilight looking into human eyes for both parents was a proof of how their daughter loves a man with all her heart, it gave rise to joy in the hearts of both parents so much that they both forgot an issue that was not to be addressed that day.
- Alex, tell me what your parents were like?. Asked Night Light when he suddenly saw his daughter's eyes wide open, recalling how Twilight had talked a lot about the parents of her fianc from the human world, Night Light shrank slightly in his chair again.
- Well, my parents were rock hard, razor-sharp and ruthless as they are now, I don't know and I don't want to know because I don't want to go back to the world of people that has never been my home. Alex said in a soft and calm voice, not giving any impression that the question about his own parents had angered him, on the contrary, Alex felt a pity in his heart for a moment.
- I hope that the liberation of the human world from the power of destiny and nothingness gave freedom and my parents, I hope they are different now. Alex added to which Night Light and Twilight Velvet fell silent for a moment.
- tell me, you wouldn't want to come home to see them. Twilight Velvet asked.
- sometimes I want but no, I prefer my world to deal with itself, maybe my appearance could cause more confusion, I gave people the power of collected tears, from what I heard from Sunsed Shimmer, the world of people has changed a lot, it has not stopped being bad, but not he is so bad, it is a great consolation. Alex said as his eyes focused on the window and the view of the blue sky.
- I do not want to go back to those memories, I feel good here and thank you that this world welcomes me so warmly. Alex said ending the topic of his home and family.
When the topic of the man's family was finished, both parents took up the topic of their own daughter by taking a huge album out of the suitcase they brought, wanting to end the difficult topic about the human world and what Alex had left behind.
- our daughter has always been a resolute pony, she would sometimes play, for example here, look here, her first birthday and a cake which she accidentally knocked over on her head. Twilight Velvet said as she showed off some of the first photos.
- and this is only interesting, here our resolute daughter used magic for the first time, throwing a vat with apple juice on herself and her older brother, wounds we worked so hard to wash our children. Said Night Light as he showed another photos showing little Twilight and Shining Armor doused entirely in apple juice and scrubbing in a bathtub full of bubbles.
- mom dad. Twilight Sparkle whispered to herself with a big blush on her face and Alex was pretending to be serious with difficulty, but laughter and he escaped from his mouth.
- this is just a cute picture, it's Twilight eating a sugar star from the sky, her delicacy from the old days. Said Twilight Velvet, shedding one tear, recalling the old days when they both took care of young children and today her children were grown up and had children of their own.
- how time flies. Said Night Light together with his wife hugging his daughter and Alex staring with open eyes suddenly stood up which surprised everyone.
- Alex ?. She asked Twilight, fearing if she had hurt a man, knowing full well that Alex never had what she had from her childhood.
- how short-sighted I was, I will be honest I was a little afraid of this meeting, but now I see what a cymbal I was, you are the greatest parents a child can have, it is an honor for me to meet you and thank you for how wonderful you are. Alex said looking into everyone's eyes.
- I'll be honest, I was also a little scared. Said Twilight Velvet.
- Mom, you were afraid. Twilight asked.
- and not only your mom, me too. Night Light said.
- we were afraid, you know, not to make a bad impression, not to make a blunder, not to say something inappropriate, which has already happened to me, so as not to hurt our daughter. Night Light said.
- we did not want to influence our daughter's decisions, we can see how she loves you, today, now we see that maybe you are a human being, but deep down you are like us, you are a pony. Said Twilight Velvet as she tucked her right hoof over her blue jacket and the beating heart of a man.
- remember what you have here, who you are makes you someone special, crazy but special. Said Night Light as he put his left hoof on the man's heart and his last word caused a slight shock to the third blunder.
- nothing happened, I am a madman after all, but not a madman, a madman. Alex said they are smiling at both parents who hugged him in a firm embrace.
- my madman. Twilight Sparkle said, kissing the man on the right cheek again first.
- out of curiosity, Twili, tell us if Alex is snoring?. Night Light asked Come on, his question was directed to a completely different question.
Hearing her dad's question, Twilight sat down in her seat next to her fianc from the human world, they both looked at each other, exchanging a sincere smile and a slight blush.
- I don't know if Alex is snoring, we both sleep in separate rooms, me here and Alex next to it. Twilight said as she handed the man a hoof.
- we both agreed to it until the wedding day. Alex said as he gently squeezed the right hoof of navy blue princess Alicorn which also caused a deep and positive surprise for both parents, culminating in Twilight's mother giggling.
- Twilight Velvet, don't you please. Embarrassed and embarrassed said Night Light giving his wife a right hoof.
- I can't help but see that our children are so far more responsible than us. Twilight Velvet said, blushing deeply and her daughter, hearing her mother's words, looked at her with wide eyes.
- Mom, what does that mean?. Twilight Sparkle asked without taking her eyes from her flushed mother.
- you know, daughter, we were not as patient as we used to say and your brother is an honest example of this. Twilight Velvet said, blushing as much as her husband, who thought the truth would be hidden forever.
- darling, it was supposed to be a secret, you give your daughter a bad example, and not only to our daughter, after all, I was the most guilty as every peasant, Em, of this. Said Night Light suddenly lowering his head, feeling in his bones that he again said something that was and a stereotype in his world, but Alex listening to him also smiled and blushed knowing what and how.
The topic, led in this way by Night Light, was quickly finished and the meeting lasted until the late afternoon hours, all the time Alex practically did not feel any anxiety or fear, knowing that the stereotype about mother-in-law and In-laws may not apply in the human world now, but it was a difficult matter to prove, it does not change the act that Alex made a very positive impression on both parents, always telling the truth, telling everything from the bottom of his heart and most importantly he turned out to be someone special for their daughter, and that was the most important thing for both parents.
L
about our mother-in-law, there were so many stereotypes that I decided to change it a bit, yes, I know I don't have a mother-in-law yet, I don't know what it's like to have a mother-in-law, yet I don't understand this negative voice about mother-in-law, I have friends, they have very nice mother-in-law, they are not like those witches flying on a broomstick, it probably depends only on the human.
