Queen Chrysalis finds a book that can summon a person from another universe.
What was supposed to be a normal day has been flipped on its head when Chrysalis woke up to find that an oddly colored trader's caravan had been parked outside of her cave, leading her to a book that could change her life forever.
(takes place after season 8 and bowser's inside story)
It was a nice day in the Everfree Forest, well... as nice as a strange magical forest full of monsters and other such things can be.
Chrysalis woke up and stretched her aching muscles. she hated sleeping in a cave in this forsaken forest but it was the best thing she had in the way of accommodations after that fateful battle with that idiotic Starlight Glimmer, and their ragtag group. Oh how she loathed them all… one day she will have something that will get rid of Starlight and the rest of her annoyances forever, though hopefully not through evil clones next time.
Getting out of the cave she noticed a strange light-magenta colored trader’s caravan with white swirls on it parked right next to the cave, 'what in Tartarus' name is a caravan doing out here?' she wondered.
Curiosity peaked, she then decided to check it out, so she changed herself into a dark green unicorn and went inside.
Sweet Celestia the inside was huge. it looked like it would hold at least ten ponies without them even touching the dark violet and white swirled walls. she walked a bit closer to the center, her hooves stepping on the almost blue colored wood flooring.
The disguised former Changeling Queen was amazed by how much stuff this place held, the dark purple shelves were absolutely filled to the brim with various odd and mystical artifacts and items. Though one particular item stood out to her; a book, it was a dark blue color with a unfamiliar emerald-colored gemstone emblazoned on the front, with the words ‘multiversal magic and you' above it. She then turned it around and looked at the back cover, which had some odd lettering that she didn't know the meaning of. the only thing she could actually read from it was a warning; 'caution! do not use if any part of you is not from your home universe.' ...whatever that meant she didn't know but she didn't really care. carefully picking it up from the shelf she then walked over to the desk of an asleep magenta colored pony with purple hair and white highlights wearing some sort of brown cloak, and set the book down with a loud thud.
“EEP! The spell reveals your true self!” the pony exclaimed in a mix of surprise and sleepiness, she then realized what she had said to the very confused Chrysalis, and Facehoofed, “sorry for that, I have an… interesting way of talking.” she gestured in pony sign language, her purple oddly swirled eyes glinting in the lamplight. “anyway, your total is 30 bits.”
Chrysalis was looking through the book for something to use on her enemies, gain a random power from your closest multiversal counterpart? No, too risky. Magically teleport to the nearest universe? Not useful in her current goal so no.
Summon a minion that your closest multiversal counterpart has or used to have? Bingo, The spell even looked easy to do. But she wondered if she could…
The former Queen of the changelings decided to try mixing the spell with an old revival spell she knew since she first learned how to do magic and focused on them.
She didn’t even realize she was putting too much magic into it before it was too late.
she put so much magic into it in fact that it created an explosion that blasted her out of the Everfree Forest entirely, with the only thing left there being magical green-and-purple flames and scorch marks.
And an unconscious green-skinned person wearing destroyed black clothing, and thick glasses with swirls on them.
The first thing Fawful sensed was sunlight beaming down on him. the beanish inventor was confused, wasn’t he in Bowser's body when he died? He then noticed that he was breathing, was he somehow alive after all that happened to him? Fawful opened his eyes and got up from the scorched earth.
“I-I have aliveness?” He said realization slowly taking over him, “I have aliveness!” he repeated. He was actually alive! He didn’t know how or why he had his pre-dark star clothes back on (minus the cloak for whatever reason) but that wouldn’t stop him now, he had to get back to figuring out how to take over the world and finally-
the sound of a twig snapping stopped his train of thought. Looking around cautiously he noticed a pair of yellow eyes staring right at him from the bushes, he tried to reach for his blaster but his hand only met empty air. fear begun to well up inside as he realized that he didn't have anything on him the could protect himself with.
Seeing it's Chance to strike, the creature, a wolf seemingly made of wood, tried to lunge at the beanish inventor. He quickly sidestepped out of the way and desperately looked for Something to defend himself with. He noticed the strange purple and green fire that was there when he woke up and got an idea.
The wolf lunged at him again, but instead of dodging Fawful threw a stick that had the fire on it that struck the wolf, making a massive inferno from its body. It tried to run away but was fully burned before it was able to.
Fawful stood in front of the last remaining embers of the wooden wolf’s body, and grinned, “hah! You had the thinking you would be the having of Fawful but you had wrongness! Wrongness like a child eating the cookie of raisins instead of chocolate!” he boasted to the ashen remains of the creature.
he was about to speak again but was interrupted by a wolf's howl and multiple approaching footsteps, realizing that he couldn’t possibly defeat more than one of these creatures in his current condition he ran away as fast as he could from the scene. grabbing some leftover fire before leaving just in case he ran into more of the odd creatures along the way.
Getting deeper into the strange forest Fawful noticed how much different this place was compared to the other places he's been, for one thing there were no mushroom or beanbean kingdom creatures here at all, and another thing being how odd it felt even walking around this place in general, like he was not supposed to even be there.
Fawful stopped his train of thought when he saw a bridge up ahead with some sort of castle ruins on the other side of it, which for some reason reminded of beanbean castle back at his home kingdom. curious, he walked across the bridge and went inside the strange ruins.
Queen Chrysalis woke up from the fall after landing face down in a river, she sat up and shook her head to remove a stray fish that had been caught in her mane. “...i really shouldn't've put that much of my magic into the spell…” she mumbled to herself, rubbing her aching head with a hoof.
she then got up and looked around the place briefly; noticing that she had blown herself all the way to someplace near canterlot. The not-too-distant castle itself shining in the late morning sunlight.
“Great, just great. Now i have to fly all the way back-”
The former changeling queen stopped her train of thought as she realized that something was off about herself, she looked at her reflection in the river water and gasped as she noticed that the tips of her formerly dark cerulean mane and tail were turning into some sort of purple color; which was slowly taking over the rest of it and turning into a disgusting display of bright and dark colors that didn't mesh well at all with the rest of herself.
Her confusion and fear then turned to anger as she glared at her reflection.
“seriously?! that stupid spell messed with my physical appearance! Why did this have to happen? Of all the times...”
she looked away from the water and started to pace back and forth. thinking of what to do with this predicament, maybe it only affected her base form? She transformed into a unicorn and went back to looking at her reflection; nope, still the color lingered. Like someone had pranked her with magical purple hair dye instead of shampoo.
She was about to rant to herself again when she Remembered quickly what she was originally doing before this whole hair color mess. She doubted that anything was actually summoned after all of that but she decided to might as well check and make sure of it. It was better than being out in the open like this anyway.
she then flew up and towards the everfree forest, making sure to shapeshift into a pegasus so as to not get any unwanted attention to herself along the way.
Getting back to the spot she was before was much easier than she thought, mostly because of the magical purple and green flames that still for some reason had not been extinguished or even burned past the undergrowth yet. She landed in the scorched clearing and noticed that there were some ashes on the ground and what seemed like a minor scuffle had taken place, she tried a magic signature spell to figure out did this and sensed an interesting signature that felt slightly familiar for some reason… curious; she decided to follow it. ‘Maybe it’s the person i summoned?’ She wondered to herself.
Fawful walked around the library of this strange castle, looking for something to clue him in in what this place even was. He then saw a book titled “the history of equestria vol 2” and grabbed it out of curiosity.
The story told of 3 tribes of small equines who never got along and fought over the land; to the point where creatures called wendigos appeared and caused their place to freeze over and the ‘ponies’ to find other places to live, taking them from place to place until they all unintentionally claimed the same land and fought again. the story got really boring at the end because the three non-fighting ones decided to be friends and make something called a ‘fire of friendship’ which drove the windigos away and made everyone that was fighting settle their differences and became ‘friends’ and decided to name the place that they were going to stay in Equestria.
‘welling that has the explaining of the titling of the book’ he thought to himself and looked at any other books on it that he missed on this place. Man there was a lot that happened 1000 years ago…
Queen Chrysalis had walked up to the old castle of the two sisters following the signature, she briefly wondered why the person had gone in there since ponyville was nearby but she disregarded that and walked through the castle doors.
Walking around a little bit more she suddenly heard what sounded like a loud crash, Confused and curious, The former Queen of the changelings quickly turned off the sensing spell and followed the noise. Only to see a quick blur wizz past her and into the what would’ve been secret room.
Fawful looked around the room and hid behind a tattered curtain, he didn’t know what that tall bug-horse thing was or what it was doing here. but considering what he had been through just a few hours ago he wasn’t going to take any chances with trying to attack it. Maybe he could try to outsmart it? Then again… he didn’t even know what the creature could even-
He was interrupted by a sudden force of telekinetic magic picking him up.
Queen Chrysalis looked over the strange...thing she was holding in her magic, they were a small, humanoid thing with green skin and an unnaturally wide set of teeth, with a pair of glasses with swirls on them and torn up and broken clothing, eyes widening she quickly put up the magic signature spell again to make sure and…
