Chapter 25: Does it Really Work That Way?
It was a quiet day in Ponyville. Reminder: Normal days means something weird happens. Quiet days would what most beings would consider a normal day.
In the research room. Twilight was going over some things in her head.
In her spare time when not teaching Izuku magic or Tenya how to organize she decided to study their quirks out of curiosity.
She didn't really study Shoto or Katsuki's quirk, as they were pretty straight forward (and brushed off the whole hooves sweating thing as a side effect of the transformation process plus magic).
She did study Ochaco's a bit… mostly about the whole gravity thing.
She tried to study Tenya's… but… things happened… very unpleasant things… and they all agreed never to talk about it again.
The one thing bothering her about Izuku's quirk was put aside. Mostly because when she asked him about it he refused to talk about it. Not in the way that it was a secret but more like he didn't want to talk about it due to embarrassment.
But there were so many thing bothering her about Momo's quirk.
A lot of it didn't make any sense.
Granted the thing about Tenya's quirk didn't make any sense, but still.
Starlight saw the looked on Twilight's face.
"Twilight… what got you stumped this time" asked Starlight.
"It's Momo's quirk." Said Twilight.
"Not again." Sighed Starlight.
"Look just because I had a freak out with one of their quirks doesn't mean it will happen again." Said Twilight.
"One of your worse freak outs to date by the way." Pointed out Starlight who then mumbled to herself, "Not that I can blame you… it really doesn't make any sense."
"I heard that! Proof that my freak out was needed!" yelled Twilight.
"That's not something you should ever say about your freak outs." Mumbled Starlight.
"Okay… you might have a point about that." Mumbled Twilight.
"Look maybe instead of trying to figure out how their quirks work just figure out something else! This way there won't be a repeat incident." Said Starlight.
"But it doesn't make any sense!" said Twilight.
"What doesn't." said Starlight.
"Okay… here's what's bothering me." Said Twilight.
She told Starlight what's been bothering her.
And once she told Starlight, her eye started twitching.
"Okay…" muttered Starlight, "I think that's a legitimate question about her quirk…"
"See!" said Twilight.
"Twilight… calm down though… we don't want another incident. So talk to Izuku or Momo about this before flipping out." Said Starlight.
"But it doesn't make any sense!" said Twilight.
"I agree! But we are not having another incident…" said Starlight.
"Fine…" sighed Twilight.
Twilight approached Momo about her thoughts on her quirk.
"Your quirk doesn't make any sense." Said Twilight.
"Twilight…" sighed Momo remembering what happened with Tenya.
"Just hear me out…" said Twilight.
"Fine." Said Momo.
"You see, often times you make something it's not equal to what you lost from your lipids." Said Twilight.
Momo was going to say something but realized that Twilight had something of a point.
But at the same time…
"That is strange and I never realized it before but…" said Momo.
"But…" said Twilight.
"Last time you traumatized Tenya." Said Momo, "And it's something we really shouldn't be talking about."
"This needs to be known." Said Twilight.
"No it doesn't." sighed Momo realizing that she should shoot this down.
Twilight just stared at her.
"I have something to do." Said Momo coming up with excuse.
"Just let me do one experiment." Said Twilight.
Momo sighed.
She really didn't have anything to do… but she felt it was a good idea to talk to Spike.
She knocked on his door.
He saw the look on her face.
"Let me guess Twilight figured out something with your quirk and is trying to figure it out." Sighed Spike.
"She is." sighed Momo.
Spike sighed.
"Okay… come on in…" said Spike.
He left her into his rather small bedroom so he could explain something about Twilight.
"Before you get into this this one of those things that Twilight did before she got sent back in time." Sighed Spike.
"Seriously?" asked Momo.
"It's true… if she can't figure something out she snapped… like the Pinkie Sense." Said Spike with a shrug.
"Pinkie Sense?" asked Momo.
"Yeah…" said Spike, "Pinkie Pie was able to predict the future with strange twitches in her body… Twilight really snapped there. She reached her breaking point she ended up bursting in flames… I wish I was kidding about that…"
"She does have a good point this time…" said Momo.
"And she did last time…" said Spike, "How does orange juice work that way…"
"Actually it's about the conversation of mass…" said Momo, "Often times I do create items much heavier than I shouldn't be able to lose."
"Okay… so it's about physics this time…" said Spike, "And not chemistry…"
Momo just looked at him.
"Look I don't really care." Said Spike, "It's super powers… these things don't make sense. But Twilight's a different kind of nerd than I am… She can't accept these things."
Momo just sighed.
"Look just avoid her for the next few days." Said Spike, "It will be fine."
"We sleep in the same room." Said Momo.
"Come up with excuses." Said Spike.
"I don't know…" said Momo.
"Do you want a repeat of the O.J. incident?" asked Spike.
Momo shook her head no.
"Trust me… it's better to avoid her…" said Spike.
"What if she gets worse?" asked Momo.
Spike scratched his head.
Momo just gave him a look.
"Look… Twilight is Twilight… just figure something out…" sighed Spike.
"This is going to be one of those weeks." Said Momo.
"Whatever do you mean?" asked Spike feigning ignorance.
Upstairs Izuku was reading a magic book when Starlight saw him and sighed.
"Hey Twilight got curious about Momo's quirk due to something that doesn't make any sense." Said Starlight.
"Oh no…" sighed Izuku.
"Once again the reason makes sense for her to wonder about it." Said Starlight, "But it's Twilight so…"
"I'll keep an eye on her this time." Sighed Izuku.
"Good… just a heads up… the thing she's forced on kind of doesn't make any sense…" said Starlight.
"What is it?" asked Izuku.
Starlight sighed and told him about Twilight's latest problem.
"Well… I can understand where she's coming from." Said Izuku, "I mean there must be something else to the quirk…"
"Please don't go on a tangent right now…" said Starlight looking at Izuku.
Izuku blushed.
"If you get the chance… try to talk Twilight down" said Starlight.
"Wait! Why me!" cried Izuku.
"You're the closeted thing to the any of you that can be considered an expert on quirks…" said Starlight.
Izuku sighed at that.
Thankfully over the course of the next few days Twilight wasn't that bad.
She didn't go full Twilight thankfully.
But she was still tailing Momo over the course of the days.
"She's obsessed with your quirk… isn't she?" asked Tenya during the first day of Momo avoiding Twilight.
"She is." Sighed Momo.
"It doesn't seem as bad as that…" said Tenya.
He then shuddered at the memory.
""Are you okay?" asked Momo.
"I'm fine… I still would rather not talk about it." Said Tenya.
Momo nodded.
It was that unpleasant…
However it finally came to ahead on day when this happened…
It was a usual Ponyville day.
IE: Something crazy happened.
In this case was a massive hydra with many heads. It was so many it was hard to count.
The plan was simple, Ochaco and Tenya would make sure everyone was safe, Izuku, Katsuki and Shoto would attack at close range and Momo would attack at long range.
"Who the fuck dealt with this hydra before!" yelled Katsuki trying to explode sevreall of the heads.
"What…" said Shoto who froze two of the heads.
"Don't you know the myth… it grows more heads if you cut one off." Muttered Katsuki.
"No… I'm just surprised you know the myth." Said Shoto.
"What the fuck does that mean!" yelled Katsuki.
"Now's not the time for this!" cried Izuku as he punched one of the other heads.
That was when Momo related a massive cannon.
"Seriously!" called out Twilight form her stalking spot.
Momo sighed as she made the Ammo for the cannon.
She knew it was the boiling point.
But still the hydra was still a problem.
She shot the cannon she away from the others.
Thankfully they were able to take down the Hydra easily.
Though the town was partially destroyed.
But ponies were already starting to rebuild it.
"Does it concern you that they're already rebuilding?" asked Izuku.
"I think everyone's gotten used to everything." said Shoto.
"How long do we have again?" asked Katsuki with his eye twitching.
"Still more than a year." Said Tenya.
"Meaning we haven't been here for half a year…" said Ochaco.
"Momo!" yelled Twilight twiltching slightly, "Seriously how!"
"Twilight please calm down." Said Momo.
"No this doesn't make any sense!" yelled Twilight, "It can't work the why you think it works! That thing is heavier than you are!"
"Twilight please calm down… there's a lot not known about quirks." Said Izuku.
"But the fact that they're having Big Macintosh carry it away!" yelled Twilight.
IT was true, as part of the cleanup, Big Macintosh was putting the cannon away in a cart. A cart that was having a hard time being stable after it was put in.
"Twilight you do have a point…" said Momo, "But you have to calm down."
"Calm down! How will that help!" yelled Twilight, "I mean it can't be a one for one ratio! It has to be something."
"It's super powers." Said Sugar Coat interrupting the conversation, "From what I heard from the nerd trio they tend to not make any sense…"
Twilight just stared at Sugar Coat.
"Twilight have you gotten any sleep in the past few nights." Said Izuku.
"I've been drinking coffee! SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!" yelled Twilight.
"Why do we listen to her again?" asked Katsuki.
"Because she's from the future and she accidentally summoned us to the this world." Muttered Shoto.
Katsuki just glared at him.
"Look it doesn't matter if it doesn't make any sense! It has to work somehow! I mean for all we know it's probably metabolizing the lipids in your body or something like that!" yelled Twilight.
There was an awkward silence.
"Maybe it's something I should look into but you need to calm down and maybe get some sleep." Said Momo.
"Fine!" sighed Twilight, "Hopefully that Hydra attack didn't completely destroy the library a year before it's supposed to happen."
Twilight headed back to the library… leaving the six heroes to help clean up the mess.
"Wait what did Twilight say about the library being completely destroyed?" asked Ochaco.
And with that Twilight once again lost her mind… but it could have been a lot worse… a whole lot worse.
And maybe this time she did have a point that Momo and Izuku did decided to help her run some tests out of curiosity…
And also it least it wasn't as bad at the incident with Tenya…
It's better not known what happened…
Next Time: It's a day that both Twilight and Spike hate... the anniversary of when they were sent back in time. And it's much worse for Spike because it's also his birthday... thankfully Ember has a birthday tradition to get him out his depression. Also how did Spike and Ember meet? Find out next time!
