Okay, scratch part of what I said last chapter. The omake of them arriving in Ponyville will still happen, but it won't be the only thing in this chapter. Way-nin2012 brought up a concept that should be more helpful in portraying my idea with Minato and Kushina – preview. It isn't an exact omake unless people don't want this in the actual story. If they do, then it'll just be a peek at what will most likely happen (unless I think of something better between now and then).
Also, the title is meant to be a play on 'o-ma-ke.'
Perspective: Preview, then omake
Don't own MLP or Naruto, by the way.
'Oh, make it a reality, please.'
XXMinato and Kushina returnXX
"Before we begin, I do have one question." said Orochimaru. "How exactly did you know about all of this, anyway?"
Dash smirked as he remembered the answer to that question. "Apples from Sweet Apple Acres can be some pretty effective bribes. Especially for young shinobi with certain bloodthirsty tendencies."
Really? Gaara gave it away for a bunch of apples? Orochimaru sweat-dropped as that train of thought went through his head. Although it did partly explain why the Ichibi Jinchuriki and his siblings were rallying the Suna nins in fighting Oto. Doesn't explain why Suna's turning, though. Plan B, then.
Deciding on forgoing any more talk, the nuke-nin went through a set of handsigns, calling out "Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei." as he placed his palm on the ground. Four sections of the roof right in front of him 'opened' and up came four boxes, with the first three having 'San,' 'Ni,' and 'Yon' on them, while the last had 'Shini,' for some reason that somewhat baffled Orochimaru even. At least until the fronts fell off, then they understood clearly, making Hiruzen pale a bit at the last two in particular.
"Dash, get your brothers over here now." the only living Hokage ordered. He would need all of their help in dealing with Naruto's parents.
"Just give me a sec, chief." Dash responded before pivoting on a foot, spinning himself around fast enough to dig his way through the roof they were standing on.
And revealing that Orochimaru's plan of imprisonment should've been on something made of metal, so that the people he imprisoned couldn't escape by going under.
"Note to self: upgrade the Shishienjin to include underground." Orochimaru stated to himself, staring a bit blankly at that easily obvious oversight on his part while Hiruzen started talking to the four he just revived using the Edo Tensei. However, his attention was diverted to the conversation when he over heard Kushina Uzumaki, also known in battle as the Red Death, asked, "Is Naruto okay?"
While he knew of the Uzumaki brothers, the only thing that really interested him was how one person could permanently become six. He may have no real morals, but he was still a researcher/scientist. This was just something that got his mind piqued.
Hiruzen chuckled nervously as he started to reply to the woman. "Sorry, Kushina, Minato, but...your son...isn't exactly around...anymore. He kind of..."
His words trailed off as a hand of chakra punched through the roof and tried to grab hold of the edge, only to accidentally grab the Sandaime and then the Nidaime, and toss them hard enough to get caught in the flaming barrier to be turned to dust. It finally managed to get a solid hold after Minato reminded Kushina about her similar ability, Kongo Fusa. With the chains attached, the 'arm' decreased, resulting in Dash and his brothers being pulled into view.
"I guess I'll keep this simple." Hiruzen finished. "Dash, Jack, Sunset, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie, meet your parents. Minato, Kushina, meet what became of Naruto."
The two remaining revived shinobi blinked blankly at the six boys, having trouble believing Hiruzen's words.
Orochimaru saw it as the perfect time to continue with his plans, and rushed to get Minato and Kushina completely under his control. With them distracted, no one could stop him from doing this. Or at least, so he thought, before a pink fist knocked him off course and further away.
"You ain't getting them that easily, bucko." Pinkie said as he retracted his arm.
Minato opened his mouth to say something, but Sunset spoke first. "Sorry, dad, but we currently don't have the time to talk right now, let alone try and get the two of you to understand well enough to not attack the villagers because of our situation. There is still an invasion to deal with, and we're probably going to have to deal with the Ichibi as well. Something caused it to go haywire, and Gaara's having trouble holding it back."
"Thankfully, I brought these." Pinkie said, bringing out a bag of six crystalline fruits that they recognized from the crystal tree that was growing in town. They look small enough to eat in one bite for some reason. The biggest differences between them were the color and symbol on them.
One was pink with a balloon on it, one was red with a star that had a horizontal line cut through it, one was yellow with a butterfly on it, another was blue with a lightning bolt on it, the fifth was orange with an apple on it, while the final one was purple with an intricate diamond on it. (Legend of Everfree color scheme)
"Ah guess we should try and eat them?" Jack asked, taking the orange one while the others took various ones themselves, leaving Pinkie with the pink one.
Pinkie nodded before pointing off to the side. "Yep, although we might want to hurry."
A sudden tremor minutely shook the place, right before the Ichibi started visibly forming around a incredibly loud and screaming Gaara.
Sunset quickly took charge. "Eat on three. 1...2...3!"
As one, the six ate their respective fruits. But no one expect them to suddenly burst with power, nor their clothes to change in a flash of light respective of the color their fruit was.
Sunset gained unique sandals with attached shin guards, alongside armor plated pants and shirt. Armored greaves covered his hand while his hitiate 'grew' to cover the sides of his face, cheeks, and the bridge of his nose. All of it was colored in various shades of red and light purple, with partial flaming suns on the shoulders and hips, and kanji for 'Trust' on the back of the shirt.
Dash was more vibrant/sharp in rainbow color with a stormy design, with winged armored boots, hakama pants, and a unique mesh/chainmail tunic-cloak combo that double covered most of his chest. Pointed gloves and the kanji for 'Loyalty' on his back finished the ensemble.
Pinkie was rather vibrant, using various shades of magenta on his jacket with shoulder pauldrons, confetti patterned vest, mesh shirt, caprice pants with a wavey-line design, striped crossing chest straps, and armored shoes. The kanji for 'Laughter' on his back was pretty well the only thing that wasn't remotely magenta.
While Rarity's wasn't vibrant or sharp, his purple/blue color scheme was still easily eye-catching, with crossing chest straps that went down under his hips, hakama pants, qipao-style skintight shirt, fingerless elbow gloves, and sleek steel-toed knee-high geta, with the kanji for 'Generosity' on the back of his shirt.
Jack's showed his connection to plants and earth, with a thick mesh-turtle neck, open vest with chainail inside, cargo shorts, knee armor, hiking boots, worker gloves, and the kanji of 'Honesty' on his back being various shades of forest green and wood brown.
Fluttershy's was a bit more surprising, being hakama pants, a qipao-style shirt with long, open sleeves and trailing cloth in both the front and back of it, and the kanji for 'Kindness' on his back. An obi sash and steel-toed geta finished the look, with more soft colors like sky blue and light green coloring it all.
When they were done changing, Sun called out, "Alright, let's do this!" and they leapt into battle as one. But not without leaving an unexpected surprise in their wake.
"How are we alive?"
XXAt least it isn't elephantsXX
XXDashXX
"WATCH OUT!" Poof! "Oof!"
That was how Dash 'woke' up to find himself upside down and going through a cloud. Once his current predicament registered in his mind, he started trying to pull his head back through, only to find it hard on two counts.
One, for a cloud it was surprisingly hard to maneuver.
Two, he no longer had fingers or toes. In fact, he doubted he was really human any longer.
His arms and legs smaller, simpler, and positioned differently, alongside his neck, but the biggest thing was the wings he felt on his sides.
"Hey, are you alright?" a female voice that sounded similar to his asked as another pony with wings came closer. Working his way around, he saw the voice belonged to a pony with a blue coat and a rainbow colored mane and tail. "Cuz even if it is somewhat funny to see you like this, even I'm not quite willing to laugh when you appear out of nowhere and fly like a comet or something."
"Ugh, you could thank my brother for that." he told the newcomer. "Anyways, if you could just help out of this and get me to the ground, I can more easily explain. This cloud is for some reason rather hard to get out of."
She looked at him like he had two heads. "Now what kind of pegasus are you if you both can't fly and can't manipulate the weather."
"Weather?" Dash asked absentmindedly before recalling his ability to use some Storm Release. "I'm such an idiot."
He then concentrated, focusing his abilities to cover his entire body. It succeeded in setting him free from the cloud, but it also left him to the mercy gravity again. "Oh, come on!"
When the cloud suddenly dispersed, the flying pony smirked at at seeing the newcomer that looked somewhat like her in the head could use pegasus magic, but that turned to shock once she got a full look at him. He looks like a male version of me! What's going o-and he's falling. "Hang on!"
When Dash saw her finally move towards him, his eyes widened upon seeing the rainbow trail appear behind her, just like it did for him. However, she didn't look nearly as fast as he thought she would be, given that they apparently had similar powers. Thankfully, for him, it was just how he was seeing it instead of reality, so she caught up to him pretty quickly and gently brought him down to the solid earth below.
"Thanks for the assist." he told her as he stabled himself on all fours. "I have absolutely no idea how I came to be like this, though. I'm 'Rainbow' Dash-"
"No, I am, imposter!" she cried in anger, only to get a smack from Dash.
"I wasn't finished, or did you not hear me say 'Rainbow?' As in, it's a title, not a name?" He retorted. "Moron, it just means that whenever I'm delivering a message for the Hokage or someone else, a rainbow trails behind. My name is just Dash."
"Really?" the now named Rainbow Dash asked. At his nod, she apologized. "Sorry."
Dash waved it off. "I'm similar at times, so no biggee. At any rate, think you could help me out a bit more? More than likely my brothers are somewhere here as well, and I'd like to find them."
"They wouldn't happen to have anything to do with the other 'comets' that appeared at the same time as you, would they?" asked Rainbow. "Most of them went down in Ponyville, while two landed a on the outskirts."
Ponyville? Good place to start as any. Dash thought before responding. "Probably, considering all six of us were caught in the blast that brought me here. Which way to Ponyville?"
Rainbow smiled warmly before hovering a few feet above the ground. "Follow me. I'll take you there."
XXRarityXX
"WATCH OUT!" Shing! Crash! "Ow."
Rare laid there as the unconscious crystal armor that protected him dispersed into dust and then nothing. But even then he was knocked for a loop, although that might've been still the seal Sun was messing with exploding and creating this situation in the first place.
"Hey, mister!" said a young female voice from behind him. "Mister, are you okay?"
Rare just groaned as he slowly picked himself up, or at least tried to.
"Rarity." the voice called out, but not to him. "Rarity, I need your help."
A somewhat muffled older voice, female as well, responded. "Sweetie Belle, can't you see I'm busy?"
"But there's this pony right outside that needs helps." Sweetie Belle told her. "I'm not strong enough to do so."
"Really?" 'Rarity' asked before some foot steps came around a corner and a gasp was heard. "Oh my goodness! Sweetie, get a place inside ready. I'll bring him in."
"Ma'am." Rare spoke, catching their attention. "If you don't mind, I just could use some help in getting up. I don't feel like I'm in my natural body."
"Uh, okay." the elder said, confused and uncertain, right before a cloak of energy that reminded him of Sun's chakra abilities covered him. After he was placed on all fours, the energy left him. "Are you truly okay? You sure you don't need the hospital or anything?"
"No, I'm good." Rare reassured. "But my an...swer..."
He was turning as he spoke, so that can thank them face-to-face, but trailed off once he saw his helper. With curls in her mane and tail, she was essentially a female version of himself. He also noticed a set of three diamonds on her flank, which he noticed with a glance was on his own flank.
Even if he is more decorative and prim in comparison, that didn't mean he didn't know anything about horses and ponies.
But the main thing that caught his attention was the fact that both his lookalike and the younger pony with her had horns on their foreheads, depicting them as unicorns.
Quickly composing himself, he continued his previous line of words. "My sincerest apologies, ma'am, but can we take this inside for some privacy? This isn't exactly the best thing to be brought to public ears so quickly. And for the sake of greetings, I'm Rare." If at all, but that option isn't available right now.
"Pleasure to meet you." Rarity said hesitantly, but nonetheless lead him and the younger unicorn inside to talk. However, once inside, she had to get his attention back on their current situation instead of the decorations, surprising Sweetie Belle.
It wasn't every day she saw her own sister get someone's attention off of detailing instead of the other way around.
XXJackXX
"WATCH OUT!" Tumble. Bam! "Oooh, what in tarnation?"
All Jack could really register in his mind was that he was falling, and now he is upside down after slamming into something rough, like a tree. A little bit later, his sight focused enough to notice two ponies coming up to him. One had a blond mane and tail, each with a red tie keeping them together, with a fedora like his and a light tan coat, while the other had a red coat and more orange mane and tail and a horse ring around its neck. Once they got close enough, he easily identified the red pony as male and the light tan one as female.
"Are yah ahright, partner?" asked the mare, showing open concern towards Jack.
"Ah think so, miss. Might need a hand in righting mahself, though." said Jack as he tried to move, only to fall to the side and gain confused expressions on the two ponies faces. "What's wrong?"
"What's a hand?" the mare asked, earning a look of understanding from Jack as he managed to stand on all fours, idly surprised by being a pony himself. The more surprising part was that he looked like a male version of the mare in front of him.
"Would ya look at that?" said Jack. "And you would most likely know 'hand' as 'hoof,' actually. Anyways, I'm Jack."
"Ah'm Applejack, but you can call meh AJ." greeted the mare. "And this is my brother, Big Mac."
Jack snorted a bit upon hearing their names. He then explained. "Sorry, but mah full name is Apple Jack, or Jack Apple if you keep the family name after the surname. And mah horse back home is named Big Mac, although it's mainly because of how big he is. Might have a reason as to why we look so similar, AJ."
AJ smiled some after the explanation before saying, "With a name like that, Ah daresay you'd fit right in with us. Even better that you didn't damage the apple tree you hit."
"Apple tree?" Jack asked before turning around to notice that the tree he was leaning on was indeed an apple tree. This got him to smile. "Even better. I was also an apple farmer, although I did have an advantage to most."
Concentrating on one of his hoofs, he channeled his chakra into the tree, causing it to reach down and place an apple in Jack's fedora that was right nearby, getting AJ and Big Mac's jaws to drop in shock. After the tree went back into its normal position, he picked up his fedora and held the apple to AJ, who shakily took it with her hoof and stared at it in shock. Big Mac shared her sentiment, but was much more composed about it.
"While the official term is Mokuton or Wood Release," Jack explained, "it just really meeeeeEEEAAANS-!"
He was interrupted as AJ suddenly grabbed him and dragged him off to their house, with Big Mac not far behind carrying Jack's fedora.
No way were they letting that ability slip through their hooves.
XXFluttershyXX
"WATCH OUT!" Boing! "Huh?"
Unlike his brothers, Shy's reunion with ground wasn't quite as bad. He landed a bear, bounced, and came out on all fours from the start. Blinking owlishly, he saw himself surrounded by said bear, alongside some birds, rabbits, squirrels, and a couple of chipmunks. However, he did notice some pale pink hair and a timid eye poking out from behind the bear.
"Um, excuse me." Shy said after a bit. "I'm sorry to bother you, but if you could please tell me where the nearest town is, I'll be on my way."
He heard a mumble from the person hiding behind the bear, but before he could do anything, one of the rabbits moved over and roughly pulled them out, revealing the person to actually be a winged pony that was acting like a rather shier version of himself.
Bowing to be polite, he said, "Hello, my name is Shy. What's your name?"
He didn't get an answer, mainly thanks to the pony in front of him staring in shock, getting him to look at himself and see what was the problem. We look the same.
"This is rather unorthodox, I admit." Shy told the pony. "But I'm afraid we won't be able to get past the awkwardness of this until we get to someplace better than here. Even if it's just in your house with some refreshments to help. Although if that is too much for you, you mind directing me to the nearest town?"
The pony quickly stammered out (which I'm not doing), "Oh no, it's alright! Come on in to my house. And I'm Fluttershy."
"Nice to meet you." Shy greeted, thinking it best to not tell the pony his full name. At least until he had found any semblance of his brothers to better explain.
XXSunset and PinkieXX
Why did I think this was a good idea? Sunset thought to himself as he saw most of his brothers fall in separate locations from him and Pinkie. At least, he assumed it was his brothers, considering they were the only ones caught in the concentrated blast. He wasn't entirely sure, because he was seeing strangely designed ponies who were coincidentally wearing the upper part of their outfits. At least the colors match up, far as I can tell. Now I just got to find a way to slow the two of us before finding them. Thankfully they don't seem to have gone all that far, so it should be easy to find them.
"Try concentrating on your forehead, Sun." he heard from the one with him, confirming it was indeed Pinkie.
Taking his advice, Sun focused chakra towards his forehead, idly feeling it envelope a horn that he just noticed was there. Deciding on keeping it simple, as well as the fact they were heading straight towards two ponies and one other creature on the ground quickly, he covered them in a protective shell while shouting, "WATCH OUT!"
Thankfully the one that was starting to look like Pinkie got the other two out of the way well enough before they landed, creating a decent crater from the impact. After making sure they were no longer in danger did Sun release the shell, eliciting gasps from the three that dodged them.
As Sun and Pinkie got out of the crater, they got a good and proper look at both each other and their main bystanders.
Sun had a horn on his head, and a tail the same color as his 'hair,' or mane now that he was a pony. One of the bystanders look similar to him, just with a more purple color. The biggest things he noticed, however, were the facts that said purple pony was carrying what he could only guess was a bipedal dragon on her back, and the fact that there was two Pinkies with the only real difference he could tell was the style of the mane.
His brother's mane and tail were as wild as ever, while his lookalike was more on the puffy side in comparison.
As he stared, he started noticing more minute differences that revealed both of the other ponies as female, mainly in how their face were a bit more rounder that his brother.
His idle analysis was interrupted when the female Pinkie appeared right in their faces, going back and forth between them as she started asking questions that were eerily reminiscent of Pinkie when he's particularly excited about a new arrival. Thankfully, for his sanity, his brother caught her and stopped her questions long enough for him to say, "A hyperactive female Pinkie, a unicorn, and a dragon...I'm pretty sure I've seen everything now."
Pinkie shook his head at Sun's words. "I'm pretty sure a better description of 'I've seen everything' is when you see an elephant fly, brother."
"Fair enough." Sun admitted.
"Excuse me, but who are you two?" the female unicorn asked, cutting in with a legitimate question, albeit a bit rudely. But he understood where she was coming from, since they did just almost literally drop on top of them alongside his staring, so he couldn't quite fault her for it.
"Sorry about that." He cleared his throat after apologizing. "I just have one quick question first. If you have a name like Pinkie Pie, which one is considered the name of that person and not the family name?"
"Pinkie." answered female Pinkie, curious about their names as well.
"Okay, then I'm Sunset Sparkle." Sun introduced. "Call me Sun. And this is my brother, Pinkie Pie."
"It isn't a nickname like with you, Pinkemena." Pinkie said for distinction, which all three caught on and understood. She might prefer Pinkie, but it's a nickname for her, while it isn't for him. "Although you can call me PK to keep it simple."
"Okay." she chirped. "My name is Pinkemena Diane Pie, but I prefer Pinkie Pie."
"And I'm Twilight Sparkle." the unicorn said. "And this is Spike."
"Hello." the dragon greeted.
"Hello. Now another question." said Sun, looking around. "Either of you have any idea of where the others landed, because we definitely weren't the only ones who fell, and I'd like to make sure we're all together safe and sound before we learn about just where we landed."
"You mean those other objects were ponies as well?" Pinkemena asked. When Sun nodded, she squealed before bouncing in place in excitement. "Iknowexactlywhereeachofthemlanded,solet'sletgo!"
"Easy there." Pinkie told her as he caught her on one of his legs. "That's not very nice to Twilight or Spike, now is it?"
Pinkemena chuckled sheepishly as she turned and asked, "Do you want to come with? They were spread enough to give you a tour."
"What?" Twilight asked, not happy. "We don't have-"
"Actually, Twilight, this would be helpful." Spike interjected. "We were sent to check in on preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration anyways. This just makes it easier to do since we'll actually have a guide to each spot."
Twilight was still hesitant, but relented after seeing the dragon's logic. "Alright. We're coming with you."
Sun and the two Pinkies smiled, although for different reasons thanks to Sun and his brother noticing similarities in personality to him and Sakura.
Leave it to logic and efficiency to win over a bookworm with virtually no social life.
Basically, for their new designs:
Sunset – Greek warrior (or whatever her design in Legend of Everfree is based off of) + samurai with Nidaime influence (particularly around the face) + Okami's Amaterasu design.
Dash – Hermes + Legend of Zelda Link +Ruby Rose (with the mentioned differences)
Pinkie – Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Ventus
Rarity – Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Terra (with the mentioned differences)
Jack – Xenoblade Chronicles Shulk (with the mentioned differences)
Fluttershy – Inuyasha Inuyasha + miko + Katara (his is a more ceremonial version of Inuyasha's outfit, with design changes from Avatar: The Last Airbender Katara and Naruto: Shippuden Tenten)
It's meant to signify them upgrading to a new 'chapter' of their lives.
As for the parts in Ponyville, it's like that because I wanted to go through each of their arrivals separately, unlike with the Mane 7 where they were together when they showed up in that world.
Until next time. Please let me know what you think.
