Tales of the Multiverse Bit 193
"Hmm? I sense a group of people is coming."
Resting on a tree branch in a tall tree and while eating an apple, Karasu sensed a presence. And indeed, Andy the Ragdoll, Alexander the Stuff Tiger, Jack-in-the-Box, Teddie and the rest of the Toy Factory are seen walking towards where she is.

Rainbow Dash had no idea what just happened.
The rainbow-haired girl was making her way towards the Tech Garage of the Training Camp when all of a sudden, she was grabbed on the shoulders by a hand and pulled her into a blue-colored portal.
The next thing Rainbow realized is that she found herself in a very beautiful island.
But now she's wondering, what the heck is going on?!
"Ugh..." Rainbow groaned in confusion, "... where am I?'' she questioned, "Gotta admit the place is breathtaking but being alone isn't cool.'' she stated when she suddenly heard small footsteps coming from behind, she then quickly turns around to see a strange man wearing a brown cloak and a gas mask on his face, the rainbow-haired girl then got into a fighting stance while glaring at the man, "Okay!" she yelped, "Who are you?!" she demanded, "Are you the one responsible for bringing me here?" she accused, "If so, then prepare yourself for a massive pain fest that you won't even remember!" she declared.
The strange man then let's out a hearty laugh, "Hahaha!" he hollered, "Feisty as ever!" he mused, "As expected from my little angel!" he cheered.
Rainbow raised an eyebrow, "What?" she uttered, "What did you call me?" she questioned in confusion when she recognized something, "Wait a minute..." she uttered in realization, "Your voice..." she pointed out, "... it's sounds so familiar." she described before staring at the man, "Just who are you?'' she asked.
The strange man then took off his mask and reveals himself to be Bow Hothoof, "It's been a while, Rainbow Dash." he greeted with a smile.
Rainbow's eyes went wide in shock, "D-D-Dad...'' she stuttered before running towards her father and then hugging him tightly, "I miss you, dad!" she cried out, "You've been away from home for so long!" she pointed out while burying her face on his chest.
Bow hugs her back, "I'm so sorry, sweetie." he apologized, "Your dad has been busy with a lot of stuffs." he reasoned, "But that ain't a reason to be away from home for long." he admitted.
Rainbow then looks up at him with a confused look, "Wait a minute..." she uttered, "... what are you dong here?" she asked.
Bow chuckled in response, "Hahaha!" he hollered, "Guess I had a lot to explain to you." he replied with a grin.
As everyone in the island continues with their training, Bow and Rainbow are seen sitting on a log at the top of a cliff by the beach. Bow then explained to his daughter about him being a veteran member of the Heroes Coalitions and is part of the Freedom Heroes, much to Rainbow Dash's shock and awe.
"I can't believe it..." Rainbow uttered in awe, "My dad is a hero?" she pointed out, "That is so awesome!" she cheered, "I can't wait to tell the others about this!" she exclaimed in excitement, "They're gonna be so jealous that my dad is a member of the Freedom Heroes!" she added with a grin.
"Hate ta break your bubble sweetie but your not the only one with a parent whom is part of the Freedom Heroes." Bow interrupted with a grin.
Rainbow looks at him in surprise, "What?" she squawked, "What do you mean by that?" she asked.
"You see..." Bow uttered, "... your friends' parents such as Rarity Belle, Fluttershy Breeze and Pinkie Pie." she listed off, "All of their parents are once part of the Freedom Heroes." he revealed, "Your mom included." he added with a grin.
"What?! Even mom?!" Rainbow exclaimed in shock.
"Yup!" Bow confirmed with a grin, "And I must tell ya, your mom is one heck of a fighter.'' he described.
"Woah...'' Rainbow uttered in awe, "But how come you never told me any of this?" she asked.
Bow sighed in response, "Well..." she uttered, "... your mom and I want you to grow up having normal looking parents." he begun, "But I guess fate had something different for that." he admitted, "Rainbow Dash..." he uttered his daughter's name, "I've heard a lot of things from your adventures with your friends and I must say..." he trailed, "As your father and a hero nonetheless, I am so proud of you." he declared with a smile.
A lone tears fell from Rainbow's cheek which she quickly wipes it off while letting out a smile, "Thanks dad..." she expressed in gratitude, "I promise, I will continue doing my best." she declared with a fist pump.
Bow nodded in response, "I know you would." he replied with a smile.
Rainbow Dash then looks around, "So, where are we?'' she asked.
"This place, my dear, is called the St. Harmony Island." Bow answered, "This island is where my fellow veterans and I would go and train back in the days." he shared, "But ever since the formation of the Training Camp, this island became a vacation spot for us veterans.'' he explained, "This place is restricted only to members of the Heroes Coalitions and it's heavily protected.'' he added.
"I-Is it all right for me to be here?" Rainbow Dash asked nervously.
"Nothing to worry about sweetie." Bow reassured, "Family members are allowed to step foot here." he shared.
"That's nice." Rainbow uttered in relief, "By the way, are we the only persons in this island right now?" she asked.
"The members of the New Age Avengers are in this island to train." Bow answered, "And me, alongside two more veteran members, are here to supervise them." he added.
Rainbow thought about it, "Oh yeah..." she uttered in realization, "... I heard the team left Neo-City sometime ago." she recalled, "So, where is everyone?" she asked.
Bow circles his finger in the air, "They are scattered around the island doing their own training.'' he replied.
"Can I go meet them?" Rainbow asked.
Bow shook his head, "Unfortunately, I can't afford any of them to see you right now or else they'll loose their concentration.'' he explained to which Rainbow nodded in acknowledgement, "Though you could see their leader just below this cliff.'' he pointed out.
The father and daughter then walks towards the edge of the cliff and then looking down below at the beach.
At the beach, we see a shirtless Marcus "The Kane" McGee having a spar with Kham and although the veteran had the upper hand, Marcus is actually keeping up and after a few minutes of trading blows, the two decided to break it off for a little breather.
"Woah...'' Rainbow uttered in awe, "Those moves were sick...'' she complimented while watching Marcus pours down a bottle of water onto himself, "He's so hot...'' she commented while staring at Marcus' slim yet fit physique with her face is slightly turning red.
Bow then waves a hand on her face, "Eyes, sweetheart, eyes!" he admonished which snapped her out of her daze, "Don't go crushing on him right now." he advised to which made Rainbow's face even redder, "Anyway..." he uttered, "... there's a reason why I brought you here." he revealed, "And I want to talk to you about something." he beckoned before turning around and walking off.
Rainbow Dash was about to follow her father but she stopped for a moment before glancing back at Marcus, she then took out her phone snaps a picture of him, she let's out a satisfied smile while looking at the picture before following her father, "So..." she uttered, "... what is it you want to talk about dad?'' she inquired putting away her phone.
"First things first..." Bow uttered, "... have you ever felt something different from you as of lately aside from the Equestrian Magic that you've obtained?" he inquired.
Rainbow shook her head, "Aside from what you just mentioned, I don't feel any different from my usual self.'' she replied.
"I see..." Bow uttered, "I guess yours are still dormant.'' he assumed, "Tell me..." he uttered, "... have you ever heard of the Errors?'' he asked.
Rainbow shook her head, "Nope." she replied, "Never heard of them.'' she said, "What about them?" she asked.
"Errors, short for Child Errors, are genetically enhanced humans that had numerous abilities such as strength, knowledge, resilience, durability, stealth, endurance and many more endless possibilities." Bow explained, "Errors are known for being so impossibly overpowered that they can take on any opponents from super-powered humans to even Gods, and they grow even more stronger as they age." he furthered, "And I, myself, is an Error." he revealed.
Rainbow looks at him in utter shock, "What?!" she squawked, "You're an Error?!" she exclaimed.
Bow nodded in response, "You see..." he uttered, "... when I was young, I was part of an underground orphanage that doubles as an underground science facility that experiments and trains young people into child soldiers while injecting them a special kind of serum which turns them into Errors." he explained, "I was part of the first batch of Errors that fought against aliens that tries to invade the world." he shared, "After the battle, we, the first batch, were given the chance to live outside the facility which granted me the opportunity to go an adventure, joining the Freedom Heroes and then settling down with your mother in our world." he furthered, "Then years later, the underground science facility decided to do another batch of Errors to their success, the second batch also fought an alien invasion similar to our batch." he added, "However, after the battle, the scientist discovered something that terrifies them..." he uttered, "Remember when I said about the Errors growing even more stronger as they age?" he recalled, "That is the sole reason that terrifies them to death.'' he revealed.
"What happen after that?" Rainbow asked.
Bow rubs the back of his head, "Well..." he uttered, "Let's just say, the scientist wants to get rid of them but the second batch not wanting any of that, so they decided to rebel against them which resulted of every scientists and staffs of the underground facility getting killed by their very own projects.'' he revealed.
"So, what happened to the second batch?" Rainbow asked.
"They're living different lives right now." Bow replied, "In fact, young Marcus over there, is part of the second batch of Errors.'' he revealed.
"What?!" Rainbow squawked in disbelief, "He's an Error too?!" she exclaimed.
Bow nodded in response, "He is." he confirmed, "Although he temporarily lost his Error abilities after he loosing his memories." he pointed out, "However, as of lately, he is slowly gaining it back.'' he explained before taking a deep breath, "Do you have any idea why I started this conversation with you?'' he questioned to which Rainbow shook her head in response, "You see..." he uttered, "... I discovered something as of late." he stated, "I found out from a colleague of mine that Error genes can be inherited.'' he furthered to which made Rainbow' eyes widen in realization, "I think you get the picture now..." he acknowledged, "That's right, you're an Error as well.'' he revealed.
"I'm an Error...'' Rainbow uttered in shock before looking at herself, "But I don't feel I'm like one...'' she admitted.
"It's only natural for you to feel indifferent." Bow replied, "You may not realize it but once your abilities as an Error is slowly awakening, attributes in your body will increase one by one." he explained.
"I see..." Rainbow uttered in acknowledgement, "So, now I know that I'm an Error..." she pointed out, "... is there anything else you want to tell me?" she inquired.
Bow crossed his arms, "I'll be blunt with you, your cousin Skyroar is an Error too.'' he revealed.
Rainbow flinched in response, "What? He's an Error too!" she exclaimed in shock, "B-But how?" she asked, "Is uncle Skyfall an Error like you?!" she assumed in disbelief.
Bow shook his head, "No, your uncle Skyfall isn't an Error nor does your auntie Cloud Cluster." he dismissed, "But to tell you the truth, Skyroar was never really part of our family." he revealed, "He was just adopted by your uncle and aunt." he furthered, "It's just the recent events that we realized that he's an Error and unlike you nor Marcus, Skyroar had his Error abilities awaken to the fullest." he explained.
"I see..." Rainbow uttered before looking down, "I can't believe all of this..." she muttered in shock, "Skyroar is, Skyroar is...'' she was trying to say but can't find the right words to say.
"I'm sorry for not telling you any this soon." Bow apologized, "But I do believe that there's still hope for Skyroar." he expressed, "For all I know, he is just being manipulated by this guy, Green Lantern." he stated.
Rainbow clenched her fist in anger, "Green..." she uttered in disdain, "I will never forgive him for fooling us..." she expressed, "And I will never, ever forgive him for taking Skyroar away from me!" she declared with gritted teeth before taking a deep breath and then turning to her father, "Thanks for telling me this dad.'' she expressed in gratitude, "Anyway..." she uttered, "... what should I do now I've discovered that I'm an Error?" she inquired.
"Since your Error abilities are pretty dormant, I suggest that I train you." Bow replied, "I wanna see it for myself on how strong you'll become once your Error abilities is fully awaken.'' he admitted.
Rainbow crossed her arms and thought about it, "Well..." she uttered, "... my super speed isn't exactly the type for combat like Flash or Wally's, so I guess I'll take that offer and be trained by you." she accepted.
Bow nodded with a smile, "Good answer!" he complimented, "Once we're done training here, we'll return to Neo-City and afterwards, we'll start your training." he explained.
Rainbow pumped her fist in response, "And I'm looking forward for it!" she declared in anticipation.
Bow chuckled in response before bringing out a mini-portal device and then opening a blue portal, "I think it's about time you head back to Neo-City." he beckoned, "I'm pretty sure that your friends are worried about you." he assumed, "I did, after all, pulled you here without your consent." he admitted sheepishly.
Rainbow snorted in amusement, "Yeah..." she uttered, "... but I think they'll understand.'' she stated.
"Also..." Bow uttered, "... don't tell your friends about their parents being heroes because I want their parents to tell them on their own." he advised, "Though you can brag about me being a hero all you want.'' he egged with a boastful smile.
Rainbow giggled in response, "Yeah! I might do that." she mused, "See you later, dad." she expressed with a smile before jumping into the portal before vanishing without a trace.
Bow sighed before smiling, "Windy..." he uttered, "... our daughter has grown really well." he mused when suddenly, he noticed a blue vortex from the distance, "Holy shit!" he cursed, "Another one?!" he squawked in surprise.
