Chapter 7
One week later...
"He saw what movie?" Twilight screamed.
"It wasn't really a movie, It was just p-"
"I know what it is, why did you let him see it?"
"I just left it out! Hey, think of it like this, he was going to know eventualy, so it's just like using a spell that makes him age more."
Twilight stared at me with daggers.
"Okay, Okay, sorry. Just make sure you set some boundries for the kid."
She walked back inside, not saying a word.
"Glad thats over. Now, what's on the list?" I said to myself, pulling out a peice of paper from my saddlebag.
"Meet Vinyl Scratch with record of music from earth, Get food from store, visit Cloudsdale, and then go back home." I read the list outloud.
I flew around for a bit, before coming across a house that had dubstep blaring from inside.
"Sheild your ears brothers!" I said, going to the house's door and knocking.
The door opened to a white Unicornwith Blue hair.
"Do I know you?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Nope." I said with a smirk.
She continiued to look suspicious.
I pulled out a record from my bag.
Her eyes widened as she saw the black disc.
I gave it to her, and she ran off to somewhere in her house, before coming back with an excited look on her face.
"So, Who's the artist?" She asked happily.
"Moi," I said.
"Really? I'll tell you what I think!" And with that, she slammed the door shut.
"That was fast." I said to myself, walking away.
"Now, up next-" I was interupted by a distant explosion, that made me stumble back a bit, despite it's distance.
There were screams from where the explosion began.
I flew to the scene and saw a huge crater, at least the size of the palace, in the middle of town.
"What the heck happened here?" I whispered to myself, shocked that something like this would happen in ponyville.
I saw the mane six aproaching the crater with caution.
"Hold up!" I said, holding up a hoof.
"Impact? What are you doing here?" Twilight asked.
"Oh, you know, just investigating a huge crater in the middle of town, not much." I smirked, looking back at them for a moment before turning back.
I aproached the crater slowly, crouching down.
I heard a groan from within the smoky hole.
"Hello? Is anybody there?" I said into the smoke.
"You sound firmiliar." I heard a gruff but feminine voice say bitterly.
I stood there, silent, waiting for the voice to show itself.
Then, a griffon came from the smoke.
She had black fur with a yellow head and red eyes.
"Yes, I remember you. Chris? Or, is it Impact now?" The griffon smirked.
I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Do you not remember me? I am your friend, as I would tell the police, Jackie." She said.
Jackie. She was my most hated enemy in my old life. She had made many atempts to break a bone, and occasionaly almost kill me.
"What are you doing here, Jackie?" I said, pawing the ground.
"Just here to... finish what I started." She said, smiling evily.
"Chris? Jackie? Impact, whats going on?" Twilight asked nervously.
"I'll explain later." I said, pawing at the ground more.
"Royal gaurd! Explain yourself!" Two Royal Gaurds said, aiming spears at Jackie.
"Me? I'm just here to settle some business with my old friend." She said, waving her hand at me.
"Can we just finish this already?" I said, tired of sitting here and talking.
"Oh, fine." Jackie said, throwing a claw at the gaurds.
They both screamed, and dropped to the ground, holding they're heavily bleeding faces.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
She pulled her claws back, and I jumped away in time to avoid it.
I took one look at the Gaurds and saw that they had stopped they're strugling and they had stopped breathing.
"What? The chances are you'll get lucky and you fall unconcious before the blood loss kills you." She said, continuing her swipes.
I was backing up with each swipe, and was getting tired.
"Impact!" I heard Rainbow Dash yell, before slamming into Jackie.
"I know you, Back home everyone thought you were g-" Rainbow interupted her with a hoof to the face.
"Man, that's one hit for a tiny little candy colored horse." Jackie taunted, and clawed down Rainbow's left wing, causing her to fall back, screaming in pain.
I flew at her, flying full speed.
She seemed suprised at my recovery and was knocked on her back.
I slammed my hooves into her face before she kicked me off, a hand on her eye.
She removed her hand to show that she had a black eye.
"I wonder..." I heard Twilight say.
Suddenly, Jackie picked me up by my throat.
"Now, back to business." She said, pulling her claws back again.
"Why do we have to fight? Can't we just party?" Pinkie said, popping her head up between me and the evil griffon.
Jackie raised an eyebrow.
I coughed, what, barely being able to breathe and all.
"Yeah, I mean I could go for a few cupcakes right now." I joked, despite the life and death situation.
She glared at me, and back to Pinkie.
"Or some cake!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"Listen, I know this is a bit extreme, but I'm being choked to death by a griffon right now, So nothing personal."
The griffon looked at me as Pinkie left.
"Oh, well, except for the fact that I hate you, so yeah."
The griffon looked even more suspectful.
I did the only thing I could think of at the time, and sneezed.
Right in the Jackie's face.
She dropped me to the ground and sumbled back, wiping her face.
I coughed, and breathed in sweet air.
"Twilight, can you summon a weapon or something?" I asked, standing up.
"Well, I can get something from the library." She said.
"Good enough." I thought for a moment.
"Broomstick." I said.
Twilight raised an eyebrow, but closed her eyes and her horn began to glow.
Then, A broomstick was flaoting infront of me, and I took it.
"Why a broomstick?" She asked.
"Just cause." I said, turning towards Jackie.
She looked at me, and began laughing.
"You expect to beat me with that?" She laughed more.
"Nope. I just really wanted to do this for a long time." I said, putting the broomstick in two hooves.
"Alright you feathery screwhead, listen up!" I began.
She raised an eyebrow at me.
"You see this?" I said, walking closer to her.
"This, is my BROOMSTICK!" I yelled, slamming the wooden stick against the side of her head.
She spun around, and fell on her face.
I dropped the broomstick and went to all fours.
The ponies stared at me.
"Man, I gotta show you Army of Darkness." I chuckled.
Twilight galloped over to Rainbow Dash, and I followed.
"Rainbow? Can you hear me?" Twilight asked the pegasus.
Dash moaned, and moved slightly.
"Her wing." I said, crouching down.
"Can you move?" Twilight asked.
Rainbow shook her head.
"She can barely talk. Let me carry her to the hospital." I said, about to pick her up.
"Wait. Be careful of her wing. It looks broken, or worse, almost detached." Twilight siad grimly.
I nodded my head.
If Dash lost her wing...
The sadness that would come from her.
I picked her up gently, and put her on my back.
I gently walked to the hospital.
When I entered, A nurse rushed to my side.
"Be careful of her wing. It might be broken, or almost detatched." I repeated Twilight's words.
The nurse noded her head and slowly took Rainbow off my back.
"We'll be sure to tell you when she can take visitors." The nurse said, walking to a room.
Thirty minutes later...
We all came in the house.
"Sit down, I have to show you something." I said, and they all took a seat.
"Okay, what happens here, must stay here, got it?"
They all nodded.
"Alright. Now, your probably wondering what this thing is." I said, motioning to the TV.
"I got this from another dimension. Now, observe." I said, opening a mini-rift.
I pulled out a necklace out.
"This let's me change form for each dimension." I said, holding up the necklace.
I twisted the edge of the jewel in the center, and I began to glow brightly.
My form began to change, from pony, to human.
They all gasped.
"This, is what I really look like." I said, motioning myself.
The ponies stared at the strange creature on his hind legs.
"Weird, huh?" I chuckled.
I wriggled my fingers a bit. Something about them that wasn't as awsome as having hooves.
"I know one pony who would be green with envy right now."
I twisted the edge of the jewel again, and turned into a pony once again.
The ponies blinked, and Twilight seemed to become interested in the new species.
"Huh? Well? What do you think?" I said, widening my arms.
"Hmm... Interesting." Twilight said.
"Well, your choice of clothes is a bit heavy." Rarity said.
"You should look at human anatomy." I said, chuckling.
"I think that they look great." Fluttershy said quietly.
"Thanks. Now, can we get back to business? Okay. You see, I found a scythe in my own dimension, and apperently, it opens parts of the world, and let's you travel between dimensions. Cool huh?"
Twilight never took her eyes off the necklace.
"Heh. Yeah, it's interesting, how you just twist this, and you change forms. It must do something with your atoms or something." I said, trying to sound smart.
She giggled at my petty attempt at inteligence.
"Sure. Sure it is." She said.
"Well, I should probably tie Jackie up, hmm?"
"That reminds me, why did she call you Chris?" Twilight asked.
"That was my name before I came here."
"Strange name."
"Not where I come from. Where I come from, Twilight Sparkle is a strange name."
Twilight raised her eyebrows.
"I'll see you later." I said as I walked outside.
"Okay, let's see how much a griffon weighs?" I said to myself, looking for the best way to pick up the unconsious griffon.
This should work. I picked her up, with her head on my back, and stomach on my shoulder.
I walked out of the crater with the griffon on my shoulder.
" Good god, your heavy!" I said to noone in specific.
I took her unconcious body to the house and slumped her on the chair.
"Okay, now where is that rope?" I thought out loud, looking in closets, and cabinets.
I took the rope from a cabinet and tied Jackie's her to the chair.
Now I have to make sure she doesn't break out. And I have to stay up.
All.
Night.
Long.
"MOUNTAIN DEW!" I yelled, running to the kitchen.
I took at least five large bottles from the refridgerator.
I took a chair and turned it around so that the back was facing Jackie.
I sat down in the chair backwards, so I was facing the unconcious griffon.
"So, what did you think about the broomstick line?" I asked, just to keep myself from being bored.
The griffon stirred a bit, but didn't comepletely wake up.
"Well, you seem close to waking up. You want some?" I said, holding up a bottle of Dew.
"Okay then, fine." I said, taking a huge chug of the bottle.
The griffon mumbled more, this time being slightly more audible.
"You, insane... griffon... move... just... me..." The rest became inaudible.
"Wake up! Come on!" I said, not wanting to stay up all night.
She shot her head up, eyes wide.
"What the?" Jackie seemed suprised.
"Good morning! Well... Good afternoon!" I said happily.
Jackie began rocking the chair, trying to break the rope.
"Don't try that, I had Twilight enchant it so it only breaks when you say some magic word." I said.
"Screw you!" She shouted.
"Want something to drink?" I asked, ignoring her rage.
She sighed. "Fine..." She gave in, holding up a hand halfway, due to being tied up at the elbows.
I grabbed a cup and poured the drink into the cup, and gave it to the griffon.
She was barely able to take a drink.
"Gotta do watcha gotta do, you know?" I said, chuckling.
"Yeah, yeah." She said, trying to wave me off.
"So, I was gonna say something important, but I forgot, so just wait a second." I acted like I was thinking.
"Oh yeah! So, how did you get to Equestria, hm? Your definatly no pegasister, so why did you come here?"
"You know why, idiot. I wanted to get back to beatin' you down."
"You seem to have forgoten my first question."
"I came from one of those things you open. The black holes you know?"
"Really? I need to close those things That seems to be a very popular mode of transportation."
She chuckled.
"Well, I guess I could give the show a try." She joked.
I patted her shoulder.
"Well, Your not so bad once you get on your good side. Besides, the princess would send you to the dungeon for bringing violence to Equestria anyway." We both laughed.
I trotted over and uncut the ropes that had bound her.
She felt her wrists and sighed.
"Thanks." Sh said simply.
"Okay, okay, calm down, geez..." I joked.
She chuckled, and hugged me.
"Good enough?"
"Yeah, sure." I smiled.
"Hey, you can change forms right?" She asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"If I turned into a pony, would you turn into a griffon?"
"Sounds fun, actualy." I said, taking the necklace from it's strongbox.
"Put this one and twist the edge once."
She did just that, and she slowly began to glow, and her glow turned from the shape of a griffon, to a pony, and when the glow subsided, she was a black pony with a red head.
"How do I look?" She asked, posing.
"Like a pony version of you."
"I mean my mane and stuff."
"Oh, Your black with a red head."
"Hmm... your turn." She said, tossing me the necklace.
I put it on, and twisted it.
I felt a tingling sensation at the base of my wings.
I looked at my hooves to see an eagle's claws.
"Nice." I looked at my wings, and saw that they were much longer, and were red, like my mane.
"Me?"
"Your red with a green head." She chuckled.
"Right, well give me a mirror, will you?"
"Yeah sure." She walked away, and came back with a mirror perching precariously on her hooves.
"You know you could just hold it in your mouth, right?"
"Yeah, I knew that." She said, hoofing me the mirror.
I held it in front of me and smiled.
"I look pretty sexy though." We both laughed at this.
"Whatever you say, Redfoo."
"Well, we got a Princess to explain to so hand me the-" I looked at her to see that she had the necklace in her mouth.
"Nope." She put the necklace on and twisted it, turning her back into a griffon.
"And why can I not have the necklace?"
"Because I'm obnoxious." And with that, she stuffed the necklace in some loose feathers.
I sighed.
"Going around ponyville as a griffon. Great. What if ponies think that we're together?"
"So?" She grinned.
I sighed again.
"Never mind. It's your fault if you end up being chased out of town by mares who are smart enough to know that it's me." I said, chuckling as We left for the palace.
