A/N: Sorry about the other night... I was trying to update My Heroes Reborn, and as was frantic after the incident with Izuku's nerfing in that story and trying to course correct, I ended up not paying attention to what story I chose to update and accidentally updated this one. Sorry about that. I meant to update this one last night, but the chapter... well it's the longest so far... so I think that explain one of the reasons why I didn't update it last night. Anyways enjoy!
Chapter 9: A Princess' Guilt
It had been a couple weeks since the battle with Nightmare Moon. And the six heroes in training had pretty much settled into their temporary lives.
Thanks to Everlasting she hooked them up to some places to import some Neighpponese food if they wanted it. So that some of them could have their favorite foods.
And with the exception of Katsuki, they all saved Derpy from an accident at least once during the two weeks.
Also, they all got injured in some way.
"You're going to have to help Derpy one day…" said Momo as she produced bandages for one of Ochaco's forelegs.
Katsuki just glared at her.
It wasn't all saving extremely clumsy ponies though, Spike and Sunburst decided to introduce Izuku and Tenya to guys night.
AKA the game Ogres and Oubliettes.
Which was well… an extremely nerdy game which was why they didn't invite Katsuki or Shoto. .. well for Shoto is was because he was still rather distant, but Katsuki it was because the nerdiness of the game.
And two actually enjoyed the game as well.
Also Izuku's lessons introduced a rather bizarre hiccup.
For some reason, a good chunk of the time, the first time he read the spell schematics, for some reason he would just activated it by accident.
"Why does this keep happening!" yelled Izuku as he brought a flower back to life without meaning to.
Well he meant to practice the spell, but he didn't mean to right away.
"We'll figure out what's going on!" said Twilight who had never heard of anything like that before.
"So still having horn problems." Said Starlight.
Izuku blushed, he knew she didn't mean it that way, but it was hard not to take it that way.
"About 1/5 time he can perform the spell perfectly afterwards…" said Twilight, "It really depends on the complexity of the spell. But almost every time he reads a spell, he uses it right away! I don't know what's going on?"
Starlight looked like she was thinking about something.
She wrote down a spell and float it to Izuku.
"Read this!" she said.
Izuku did so, and then confetti came out of his horn.
"Uh…" said Izuku.
"Good! Now use that spell whenever Twilight leaves the library." Said Starlight.
"Oh go fly a kite!" yelled Twilight.
"I will… but only because I want to." Said Starlight.
Starlight grabbed a kite from somewhere else in the library and went to fly the kite.
"One of her hobbies is flying kites." Said Twilight.
"Oh." Said Izuku unsure how to react.
They later remembered that they couldn't fix it any time soon as they realized his future self had mentioned his problem.
However Izuku had another problem.
He was awake in the middle of the night, this was the 5th night he couldn't get any sleep. He looked around the bedroom, everyone else was sleeping in the boy's room (as Spike was a dragon they couldn't call it the Stallion's room)
"Should I tell them?" he thought to himself, "There's no guarantee we'll remember it… or that we'll even go home."
He looked up at the celling.
"But if we do remember I might be putting them in danger." thought Izuku.
He decided to try to fall asleep.
But really the next the big thing was a trip Twilight made them all go on.
A trip to Canterlot.
Twilight decided to explain why they were going on the train ride there. Of course she was wearing her invisibly cloak with the special spell on it.
"I made a huge mistake in the first timeline." She explained, "I never checked up on Luna."
"What do you mean?" asked Izuku.
"I didn't see her again until Nightmare Night when she decided to visit Ponyville." Said Twilight, "It didn't turn out well at first. It worked out in the end, but most of the night there were so many problems."
"That's not the only thing is it?" asked Momo.
Twilight sighed.
"She also created the Tantabus." Said Twilight.
"Tantabus?" asked Iida.
"It's a creature of her own creation… it's a horrible dream monster designed to create nightmares." Said Twilight, "She accidentally unleashed it on Ponyville."
"Why would she create something like that?" asked Izuku.
"To punish herself." Said Twilight, "She gave herself nightmares to atone for her sins."
"And you want to see if she created it yet." Said Shoto.
"That's right." Said Twilight, "Also to get her to get out more and meet ponies."
They all stared at Twilight.
"We already tried to explain it." Said Spike, "She won't listen."
"What if we don't want to help her?" asked Katsuki.
"Well for you we asked the Royal Guard to set up a training ground that you can use." Said Starlight.
Katsuki blinked, he wasn't expecting that.
"We're not going to force you hang out with her." Said Twilight, "It's optional…"
"Don't worry I'm sure the rest of us will agree to help Princess Luna." Said Tenya.
"It does sound like she needs help." Said Izuku.
"Thanks." Said Twilight.
Soon enough they got to Canterlot.
At the train station a white stallion with a mane and tail that was different shades of blue was waiting for them.
"Hey! It's nice to meet you." He said, "The name's Shinning Armor."
"He's the captain of the Royal Guard." Said Spike.
"It's nice to finally meet you. I've heard a lot about you." Said Shinning Armor, "I'll be showing you the palace."
"The captain of the guard is showing us?" asked Izuku .
"I have the day off." Said Shinning Armor with a shrug, "I can't be working 24/7. My special somepony would just complain."
"Where were you when Nightmare Moon attacked?" Todoroki asked somewhat suspiciously.
"I was tasked with protecting Cadance." Said Shinning Armor, "Nightmare Moon didn't know about her, but it was better to make sure she was protected."
"I see…" said Todoroki remembering about the third princess.
"Are you sure that's all you were doing?" asked Spike.
Shinning Armor blushed, "Yes… yes it was." Said Shinning.
As herded the group through Canterlot, as he did gave some advice.
"If you take Princess Luna to eat, do not go to restaurant row." Said Shinning Armor.
"Is there a reason why?" asked Tenya.
"A food critic has started taking it over and making every restaurant fit her tastes. Bland small portions. Most of the guards have started avoiding it like the plague." Said Shinning Armor, "You do not want to eat there."
"You'll just end up taking her to the donut shop anyways." Said Starlight.
"It's Princess Celestia's favorite place in Canterlot." Said Sunburst.
"Wait… Princess Celestia favorite place to eat is a donut shop?" asked Ochaco.
"Her favorite food is also cake." Said Sunburst.
"Seriously" asked Ochaco.
Soon enough they made it the palace.
"Welcome to the palace." Said Shinning Armor.
Izuku was amazed at everything.
It was large and beautiful.
"This is amazing!" said Izuku not really paying attention to anything nearby.
However he didn't notice a pony carrying so many books that crashed into him.
"Oh I'm sorry!" said Izuku.
"It's okay, it's my fault I was carrying too many!" said the pony he crashed into.
Izuku froze when he heard the voice. He looked up at the pony, it was Twilight, though younger, smaller and didn't have her wings.
"Deku? You okay?" asked Ochaco as she and others went to check on.
Then they saw the younger Twilight.
Any lingering doubts about Twilight were now gone.
Izuku helped her with the books.
"I'm Twilight Sparkle! But everypony calls me Twilley." Said Twilight or rather Twilley to differentiate between her and her older self.
"Oh I'm Izuku Midoriya, it's nice to meet you." Said Izuku.
Twilley's eye immediately lit up, "Oh! You're bearer of the element of magic! I heard about all that happened! I was actually reading the legend the day before the summer Sun Celebration and wrote a letter to Princess Celestia about it but she reassured me it was being handled! I can't belive ponies with such unique abilities were the ones to save Equestria! You have to tell me all about it!"
That was when a book floated above Twilley's head and fell on top.
"Ow!" she said, she turned and saw it was cream unicorn with a red mane with purple streaks, she also wore a pair of thick glasses.
"Twilley, we're still on the clock, ask questions in your free time." Said the unicorn.
"Oh right! Sorry!" said Twilley.
"Also you failed to notice them." Said the cream unicorn, "All six of them are here along with your brother."
Twilley blushed.
"Wait… brother…" said Ochaco.
"She's my little sister." Said Shinning Armor.
"Oh… I'm…" said Twilley.
"We heard." Said Katsuki glaring at Twilley.
"So it's true what they, the orange one has a temper." Said the cream unicorn.
Katsuki glared at her.
"Moon Dancer. Twilley and I are archivists for Princess Celestia." Said the cream unicorn introducing herself picking up the books with her magic, "However we really should leave, we have a job to do."
"It was nice meeting you." Said Momo.
"Yeah…" sighed Twilley.
She and Moon Dancer began to walk away carrying the books together this time.
"You forgot that Lyra's moving to Ponyville soon, you can bug them for questions during a visit." Said Moon Dancer.
"I guess you're right." Said Twilley.
Once they were out of earshot.
"Wait doesn't Twilight's family know the truth?" asked Momo.
"Yeah,…" said Twilight.
"Sorry for not saying anything earlier." Said Shinning Armor.
"You were going to mess with them for a bit. Weren't you?" asked Starlight.
"No…" said Twilight.
"Don't be ridiculous." Said Shinning Armor.
Actually they were going to have Shinning Armor talk about his family while Twilight use various spells for one reason or another and make it seem like Shinning Armor couldn't see her until confessing the truth.
"Oh I should have warned you earlier, but if you bring them to meet mom and dad they have another photo album." Said Shinning Armor.
"No!" cried Twilight, "But I thought I burned them all!"
"That's the thing about old embarrassing photos… there will always be more." Said Starlight.
The 6 were confused.
"Pictures from before the timeline split." Explained Spike.
"That makes sense." Said Ochaco.
Spike then gave an evil smirk.
"I will introduce you to her parents later…" whispered Spike.
"Why does it feel like some sort of revenge scheme?" thought Tenya.
Because it was… let's just say that Twilight used to embarrass him quite a bit with baby pictures.
"Spike I heard you!" said Twilight.
"Dang! Stupid mom sense…" thought Spike.
"I should really show Katsuki Bakugo to the training grounds." Said Shinning Armor, "However Izuku Midoriya!"
"Yeah?" asked Izuku.
"My big little sister told me about your problems." Said Shinning Armor.
"Stop calling me that." Said Twilight.
"Plus there's the fact that you can use the shield spell." Said Shinning Armor, "I think I might be able to help you."
"But I was…" said Izuku.
"Come on." Said Shinning Armor magically dragging him away.
Katsuki followed while scowling hoping that he wouldn't have to train with them.
"He'll be fine." Said Spike.
"I guess I have to show you Luna's room is." Said Twilight.
She showed the remaining four to the room.
Meanwhile at the training ground, Katsuki was given his own area to practice his quirk, while Izuku and Shinning Armor had their own.
"So I heard that your Quirk, that's what it's called right?" asked Shinning Armor.
"Yeah that's what it's called" said Izuku.
"It breaks your bones if you use it, right?" asked Shinning Armor.
"Yeah." Sighed Izuku.
"Maybe I can help." Said Shinning Armor.
"But quirks don't exist here, I don't know if you can help." Said Izuku.
"That might be, but I can always give advice." Said Shinning Armor, "Also if you hit something and break your bones we have bone healing potion on standby."
"I see." Sighed Izuku.
He honestly wanted to help Luna after what happened…
"I need to see how she's feeling after our fight." He thought with a sigh.
"All right!" said Shinning Armor, "So tell me all about your quirk."
Meanwhile in the palace halls, Twilight led them to Princess Luna's room.
"Well here is where she lives." Said Twilight, "I have an errand to run. So I can't help you."
"You didn't mention an errand." Said Tenya.
"It was a last minute thing… don't worry it will be fine." Said Twilight.
She left and deactivated the spell on her invisibility cloak for some reason.
"She's going to break into her parents' house to steal the photo album." Said Spike.
"I'm going to get Cadance." Said Starlight leaving.
"Sorry about that…" said Sunburst.
"But honestly you guys shouldn't be surprised by any of this anymore." Said Spike.
"Maybe a little." Said Ochaco.
"We're not." Said Shoto.
Sunburst knocked on the door.
There was no answer.
Spike opened the door anyways.
"We should wait until we know she's in there." Said Tenya.
"She already knows we're coming." Said Spike.
The room was dark with the curtains closed.
They saw something on the bed. It was Princess Luna. However her coat was a little darker, her mane and tail was not only longer but seemingly a little darker with the occasional sparkle appearing in it.
"Oh… is today the day that you are coming?" she asked.
She looked at the assembled group.
"Is Izuku Midoriya there?" asked Princess Luna.
"No, Shinning Armor dragged him away for training." Said Momo.
"I see." Sighed Princess Luna, "I will have to owe him later…"
"What?" asked Ochaco.
"Never mind that." Said Princess Luna.
There was an awkward silence.
"I am unfamiliar about what ponies do to socialize." Said Princess Luna somewhat awkwardly, "Which is probably is not a good way to put things since you are not ponies or from this world."
"We can always get something to eat." Said Ochaco.
"Oh that is a good idea… but let us not go to restaurant row… I decided to partake in the cuisine there… it was bland and not filling." Said Princess Luna.
"I know of a place." Said Spike.
Meanwhile with Izuku he was explaining what he did with his Quirk to help with not breaking anything.
"What's a microwave?" asked Shinning Armor.
"Oh it's this type of oven in my world that cooks things really fast." Said Izuku, "If you put an egg there it will explode if you don't take it out."
"Wait… it sounds like something you shouldn't put in a microwave to being with." Said Shinning Armor.
Izuku stood there and blinked.
"Wait…" he said.
"Maybe you should come up with a better analogy." Said Shinning Armor.
"Maybe." Said Izuku.
"But maybe we should wait for that later." Said Shinning Armor, "Let's see how you're able to handle it."
"So do you have a training dummy I can use?" asked Izuku.
"Actually." Said Shinning Armor, "I want to see if you can break my shield."
"What?" asked Izuku.
"It's my specialty when it comes to spell casting." Said Shinning Armor, "Besides if you can break it means I just have to train it some more."
Izuku sighed as he realized that Shinning Armor wasn't going to take no for an answer again.
Shinning Armor created a magical shield.
"All right! Let loose!" said Shinning Armor.
Izuku took a breath.
Even if it wasn't a good analogy he didn't have anything else to work with right now.
"Picture the egg in the microwave." Thought Izuku.
"Smash!" he yelled out as he channel his quirk into his foreleg and let loose on it, it shattering the magical shield… and his leg in the process.
"I need a bone healing potion now!" yelled Shinning Armor.
One of the guards nearby nodded and left to get it.
Meanwhile in the donut shop, the group awkwardly sat at one of the tables, with some donuts.
It was clear that none of knew what to talk about.
"So where is your other friend?" Princess Luna finally asked.
"He's training." Said Momo.
"He did not want to visit?" asked Princess Luna while also not sounding surprised at the turn of events.
"No." said Shoto.
"I am not surprised." Said Princess Luna.
She took a bite of her donut.
"By the way this treat is quite delicious." Said Princess Luna, "Wait do they have these treats in your world?"
"They do." Said Momo.
"I see.." said Princess Luna.
It went back to awkwardness.
"Wait… what about your other, other friend?" asked Princess Luna, "Along with her…"
"She went to break into parents' house to steal an embarrassing photo album." Said Spike, "Starlight went to find one of the few ponies that will be able to talk her out of it."
"Is she not time displaced." Said Princess Luna.
"From before the timeline split." Said Sunburst.
"I see… "said Princess Luna.
Back at the training ground, Izuku drank the potion and his foreleg healed.
"Sorry… I didn't know it would be that injured." Said Shinning Armor.
"It's okay." Sighed Izuku at his leg had recovered.
Shinning Armor looked at him.
"What is it?" asked Izuku.
"It's just that it seems odd." Said Shinning Armor.
"What is?" asked Izuku.
"It's almost like the power is new." Said Shinning Armor.
Izuku froze when he said that.
"Like you're not fully used to it." Said Shinning Armor.
Izuku didn't know what to tell him… but then realized something… Shinning Armor wasn't in any danger.
"You're right." Said Izuku.
"Really?" asked Shinning Armor.
"I need you keep this a secret." Said Izuku, "Please don't tell anyone…"
"What is it?" asked Shinning Armor.
"I wasn't born with my quirk, it was given to me by someone else." Said Izuku.
"Really?" asked Shinning Armor.
Izuku nodded then began to explain.
Not too long later in the palace, they returned to Princess Luna's room. Thankfully, Sunburst came up with a topic to talk to Princess Luna to talk about while they decided to talk about something else.
"Should we ask about it?" asked Ochaco.
"Twilight was worried about it." Said Momo.
"Should we wait until she is back through?" asked Tenya.
"I don't know… considering she's completely invisible it might be a while until they find her." Said Spike.
"Should we even press it?" asked Shoto.
"If we don't nip it in the bud, it will try to destroy Equestria." Said Spike.
"What, really?" asked Ochaco.
"So it's not just helping her but everyone else." Said Tenya.
"Yeah." Said Spike.
They got to Princess Luna's room.
"There's something we need to talk about." Said Shoto.
"Oh but I was enjoying our conversation." Said Princess Luna.
"Can it wait until t's over?" asked Sunburst blushing a little.
"Seriously?" asked Spike to Sunburst.
"We both know that Celestia's stories won't be as detailed." Said Sunburst.
"However it sounds like this is more important. What do you need to talk about." Said Princess Luna.
"Miss Sparkle mentioned that you created something about the Tantabus." Said Tenya.
"SHE KNOW ABOUT THAT!" yelled Princess Luna using what was known at the Royal Canterlot voice, "HOW DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT THAT!"
Princess Luna blinked.
"NEVER MIND! I JUST REALIZED THE ANSWER!" yelled Princess Luna.
"Do you think you can lower the volume?" asked Spike.
Princess Luna scowled, she remember that her sister had gotten a letter from Twilight to tell her that the Royal Canterlot Voice wasn't a good idea.
However Princess Luna began to shake.
"How can she know about it! I created it to punish myself." Cried Princess Luna.
"Do you honestly think it's a good idea though?" asked Momo.
"It is! I must be punished." Said Princess Luna.
Her horn began to glow with power.
"I got some time off." Said Princess Celestia entering, "I thought I could drop by."
However none of them noticed her.
"I NEED TO PUNISHED!" yelled Princess Luna.
She unleashed blast of magic throughout the entire room and all of them including Princess Luna fell unconscious.
Back at the training ground.
Izuku finished his story.
"I see." Said Shinning Armor knowing the only reason why Izuku told him was because well… he wasn't in any danger from threats from the other world.
"Yeah." Sighed Izuku.
"You want to tell the others don't you?" asked Shinning Armor.
"Huh?" asked Izuku.
"It sounds like you do." Said Shinning Armor.
"I do… I don't know if we'll remember any of this." Said Izuku, "Not to mention the worst case scenario… and even if we do remember this…"
"Having to spend a year and half in another world will bring you all together." Said Shinning Armor.
"And I don't know if I should keep it from them knowing that." Said Izuku, "It feels wrong that I can't ask All Might as well."
"But if you're that close he would understand wouldn't he?" asked Shinning Armor.
Izuku was surprised.
"I mean. You'll probably going to tell him everything if you remember." Said Shinning Armor.
"Yeah…" said Izuku blushing.
Shinning Armor sighed.
"There's something I have to come clean about." Said Shinning Armor.
"What?" asked Izuku.
"Princess Luna asked me to keep you busy." Sighed Shinning Armor, "It's not the only reason why I wanted to train with you… I do want to help…"
"I guess after I beat her up she doesn't want to see me." Said Izuku.
"I don't think it's that." Said Shinning Armor.
(Flashback)
It was after Princess Luna had Shinning Armor to distract Izuku. However there was something she felt she should clear up.
"It is not because I am angry with him. But there is another reason why I cannot face him right now." Said Princess Luna.
"Why?" asked shinning Armor.
"Because I do not believe I can face him any time soon." Said Princess Luna, "I cannot tell you why… but it is quite personal."
(End of Flashback)
"Wait… that's what she told you?" asked Izuku.
"It is." Said Shinning Armor.
Then it struck Izuku.
"Wait…" said Izuku, "She can't be…"
"She can't be what?" asked Shinning Armor.
Meanwhile in some ruins. The group in Luna's room came to… with the four heroes in training discovering something surprising… they were all human again.
"How is this even possible?" asked Shoto.
"I don't know…" said Momo, "But it feels off."
"You're right." Said Princess Celestia.
That was when they noticed Princess Celestia.
"Wait…" said Spike.
"I came to help you… but I can tell something else happened." Said Princess Celestia.
"Do you think it has anything to do with the magic that Princess Luna used?" asked Tenya.
"She did use a spell in anger." Said Sunburst.
"Wait… you don't think." Said Momo.
"Wait… where's Luna?" asked Princess Celestia.
That was when they realized she wasn't with them.
Then they heard a crash nearby.
They went over to where the crash came from it and they saw a fight going on between Nightmare Moon and Izuku (still as a unicorn).
"What's going on?" asked Ochaco.
"We're in her nightmare." Said Tenya realizing the truth.
"What do you mean we're in her nightmare?" asked Princess Celestia, "What's going on!"
Back at the training ground.
"Twilight told us that that she's been using something to give her nightmares as a form of punishment." Said Izuku, "And I think she's been using our fight as the basis for the nightmares."
"No…" said Shinning Armor, "I didn't know."
"It's okay… I don't think Twilight told you." Said Izuku.
"If she did I would have made an offer another time." Said Shinning Armor.
Izuku sighed, he wasn't sure if he should do something.
"Your friends and Twilight are with her. So it should be fine." Said Shinning Armor.
"I guess you're right." Sighed Izuku.
"Don't worry, we'll talk to her later." said Shinning Armor, "There's something else I realized about your quirk."
"What is it?" asked Izuku.
"Does it work the way you think it works?" asked Shinning Armor.
Izuku was confused.
Meanwhile in Princess Luna's room, Twilight, Starlight and a pink alicorn who was indeed Princess Cadance arrived.
"You know how your parents are, they're just trying to connect to you." Said Princess Cadance.
"But with embarrassing pictures?" asked Twilight.
"They missed a good chunk of your life." Pointed out Princess Cadance.
That was when they saw everyone unconscious, with a white magical string coming from Princess Luna's horn connected to everyone's head.
"What happened?" asked Starlight.
"Oh no…" said Twilight, "I think they must tried to talk to her bout the Tantabus."
"See that's another reason why you shouldn't have gone after that photo album right away!" said Starlight.
"Your one to talk. You always try to destroy the stuff your dad tries to show me." Said Twilight.
"Now's not a good time for this." Said Princess Cadance, "There anything we can do?"
"I don't know… I don't know if anything we can do…" said Twilight.
Inside the dream world, Spike finished his explanation.
Princess Celestia fell to the ground.
"No…" she whimpered.
To know that her sister was punishing her this way… and the fact that she was suffering so much guilt.
Not to mention the form the nightmare took. Which was just Izuku beating her bloody, each time dream Izuku would use his quirk a strange sparkly cloud would just heal his limbs and he would continue beating her.
"I don't think I can watch this." Said Ochaco covering her eyes.
"She's been doing this to herself every night…" whimpered Princess Celestia.
"We have to wake up!" said Tenya.
"How do we do that?" asked Momo.
"Maybe if we stop the fight it might stop it." Said Ochaco.
Shoto went to move… but found himself stopped by an invisible wall.
Tenya tried but he too was stopped.
"Can any of you use your quirks?" asked Sunburst.
"I can't feel mine." Said Shoto.
"I can't activate mine either." said Tenya.
"Princess…" Said Momo.
"I can't do anything,…" said Princess Celestia, "I have no powers in this realm."
"How are we going to stop this?" asked Ochaco.
"Luna!" yelled Spike.
"Luna we're in here too!" yelled Sunburst.
But it was clear Nightmare Moon wasn't hearing them. She was just kept getting beaten by the dream version of Izuku.
"Please Luna! You're not alone in here!" yelled Ochaco.
"You can't keep doing this to yourself!" yelled Tenya.
But she still couldn't hear them. She was launched into a wall and bleeding badly, struggling to get up.
"LUNA STOP THIS!" yelled Princess Celestia.
Nightmare Moon froze… she was able to hear her sister's voice.
"Sister…" she whispered.
That was when everything shattered and the ruins, Izuku and even Nightmare Moon's form all disappeared with a flash of light… they were now in a strangely beautiful cloud like void, on the ground was a crying Princess Luna and a floating sparkly cloud floating around her.
"Celestia… I…" said Princess Luna.
Princess Celestia walked over to her sister and hugged her.
"I'm sorry!" she cried.
"What?" asked Princess Luna.
"I didn't know you were in so much pain…" said Princess Celestia, "I thought you were fine…"
"I needed to be punished for what I've done…" cried Princess Luna.
"You were already punished enough…" said Princess Celestia.
Princess Luna didn't say anything.
"Please… stop this." Said Princess Celestia.
"Okay…" whispered Princess Luna, "I will."
The sparkly cloud that was the Tantabus entered Princess Luna's body, a sign that she wasn't going to use any more.
That was when Princess Luna realized that the two sisters weren't alone.
"Why are there humans here!" yelled Princess Luna.
The four gave her looks.
"Oh… right…" said Princess Luna embarrassed, "Your true forms…"
They all began to wake up in the real world.
"Are you okay?" asked Princess Cadance as they woke up.
"I am all right." Said Princess Luna.
"I don't want to know what happened." Sighed Twilight.
"It is fine." Said Princess Luna, "But I do have to explain something to Izuku Midoriya."
"What?" asked Tenya.
"I may have asked Captain Shinning Armor to distract him so I wouldn't have to make eye contact with him considering what the nightmares I created…" said Princess Luna.
"Please don't use my very Special Somepony for your plots." Sighed Princess Cadance.
"Oh this is Cadance by the way." Said Spike.
"Nice to finally meet you." Said Princess Cadance, "But in all seriousness…"
"I had heard that he wanted to give Izuku Midoriya some advice so I just decided to use that…" said Princess Luna.
"You should apologize." Sighed Princess Cadance.
"I know." Sighed Princess Luna.
She teleported away.
Meanwhile on the training ground, Izuku was having a mumble storm.
"I know that All Might didn't give me clear instructions on how to use, but could there be another way to use it… I mean that's just the way I've been using it…." He mumbled.
Shinning Armor wasn't sure if he should stop him.
But at the same time it was so creepy.
"Izuku Midoriya." Said Shinning Armor.
But before he could say anything Princess Luna teleported in front of them. Causing Izuku to jump.
"My apologies." Said Princess Luna.
"Princess Luna." Said Izuku surprised to find her there.
"I must tell you something." Said Princess Luna.
"Was it the Tantabus?" asked Izuku.
Princess Luna blinked.
"I told him that you asked me to distract him." Said Shinning Armor.
"I see…" said Princess Luna.
"It's fine! I understand if you were doing that in your nightmares that you wouldn't want to see me." Said Izuku.
Princess Luna looked at Izuku.
She then patted his mane.
"You are far too pure." Said Princess Luna, "I am sorry."
"You don't have to apologize." Said Izuku.
Princess Luna laughed.
"I am sorry for dragging you into this." Said Princess Luna.
"It's fine." Said Shinning Armor, "I did want to spend time with him anyway."
"Let us fetch Katsuki Bakugo." Sid Princess Luna, "It would be rude to leave him out of what happened."
And so they told Katsuki about what happened. They all talked in an empty room that was used for meetings.
"Okay… that is really fucked up." Said Katsuki.
When he heard nightmares he thought it was something, "scary" not getting beaten to near death by "Deku".
"As much I do not condone those words, I do agree with the sentiment." Said Princess Luna, "Though it does concern me, Twilight Sparkle. How did you know about the Tantabus."
"It got strong… strong enough to infect other ponies dreams and almost break out into the real world." Said Twilight.
"Oh…" said Princess Luna.
"It's fine now… and you're fine." Said Twilight.
She grabbed her Invisibly Cloak.
"Now if you excuse me! I have something to do." Said Twilight.
"Twilight… you are aware that they know you're town… right?" asked Shinning Armor.
Twilight froze when he said that.
"They have taken precautions!" groaned Twilight.
"They have taken precautions." Said Shinning Armor nodding.
She looked at the six, Katsuki looked like he wanted to see the pictures, Ochaco, Izuku, Momo and Tenya all looked like they wanted to see the pictures but were denial about it… Shoto… his face was blank.
"Fine! I'll introduce you to my parents and let you see my foal pictures!" said Twilight.
They went to their parents' house (joined by Cadance and Shinning Armor). And the warm loving parents showed the 6 the embarrassing foal pictures.
There was one of Twilight crying after a day of magical kindergarten.
"I thought I burned that one." Said Twilight.
"Oh I made copies!" said Twilight's father Night Light, "Many copies! Twilley burns the pictures too."
"I have been meaning to ask." Said Tenya.
"About our relationship with Twilight… we love her… even if she's from a future that never happened, she's still our daughter…" said Twilight Velvet (yeah, they were all named Twilight. Though it was really confusing for the family)
"Mom…" said Twilight trying not to cry.
"Come on Twilight… you know how we feel." Said Night Light.
"I know… it still gets to me." Said Twilight.
Izuku watched the interaction with the parents and daughter.
"You okay Deku?" asked Ochaco.
"Just getting a little home sick." Said Izuku.
"Makes sense." Said Ochaco.
"Oh here's a picture we found of the time at the petting zoo with both of them!" said Night Light showing off a partially embarrassing one that not only showed baby Twilight but also Shinning Armor.
"I thought I burned that one years ago!" said Shinning Armor blushing.
Turned out he also burned the pictures.
"Nope! Found a copy!" said Night Light.
"Oh I have to see!" said Princess Cadance going over to see it.
Soon enough it was time to leave, Twilight's family were the ones to say byes (and that included Princess Cadance).
Shinning Armor said his byes to Izuku.
"Hey! I'll come down for a visit when I can, the offer still stand to help with the shield spell." Said Shinning Armor.
He then whispered to them.
"Tell them when you think is right, but you should tell them…" said Shinning Armor.
"I think I'm going to tell them soon." Said Izuku.
Shinning Armor smiled.
"Visit soon." Said Princess Cadance to Twilight.
"I will." Said Twilight.
"Like maybe in less than a month." Said Princess Cadance.
"Seriously!" yelled Twilight .
She looked over to Shinning Armor.
"Remember!" she said.
"I know, I know." Said Shinning Armor.
That was a code for "Remember to tell me if you ever pop the question.".
"All aboard!" called out the Conductor.
They got on the train and it headed to back to Ponyville.
They thankfully had the car all to themselves again. Which fitted with what Izuku knew what he had to do.
"Hey… there's something I need to tell you." Said Izuku, "It's something I had to keep secret. But with everything that's going on along with the fact that I don't know if we'll remember this when we get back, I feel like I have to tell you."
"What is it?" asked Ochaco.
"It's about my Quirk…" sighed Izuku.
And so on the long train ride home. He told them about the truth about his Quirk…
Next Time: After telling them the truth about his Quirk (and another serrate incident), everyone hunkers down while the Dragon attempts to sleep. However when a friend of Spike's deicides to visit, she gets kidnapped by a mysterious villain. Who is the villain? And why does he kidnap Spike's friend. Find out next time!
A/N: The villain in the next chapter is a canon character... it's not Rarity, it's someone else... that's all I will say.
