Meetra nodded. “I can discuss my past later, in private among a select few. For now…” She reached beneath her cloak into her bag. “This is something that was very difficult to find. Not only was finding its location next to impossible, I nearly got myself killed getting it. But…”

She pulled out something golden, though clearly scuffed up and dented in a few places, and its gem was coated in dust. But, it was unmistakable.

The Idol of Boreas.

Buttercup: “Coldness and resentment, huh? Just what did you-”

Blossom: “Like she said, Buttercup, we’ll talk about it later. Right now, we’ve got enough trouble from this ‘Brotherhood’ to worry about”

Buttercup: “Fine”

Matias: “Huh…did not know about that? No wonder you weren’t surprised to see what she looked like”

Bubbles: “Glimpses of other worlds?”

Matias: I witnessed her showing a cute excitable face as she gasped

Bubbles: “Oh oh! Do they have Tom & Jerry here!? That’s my favorite cartoon!”

Matias: I gave a look of confusion “IIIII don’t know but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was”

Whistler: “ah yes, introductions are already running longer than intended here, aren’t they, we should get to the point.”

Vigil: “well, the multiverse is only half inaccessible, artsy types and writers can sometimes catch a glimpse of your worlds and, thinking its their imagination, write down or draw what they see, that how we have the book of “Octopony’s liberation” in which a pony that can turn into a mini-octopus, abandons their evil ways to find a better home with squids.”

@TheFinite
Stranaii: “I knew I felt something when trying to determine your location, earlier. It has the cold feeling of…”

Gerald: “Something that can be talked about later! We really can’t be bogged down when we’ve got multiple crisis events going on!”

Gerald: “While it is a pleasure to meet you in person, Meetra, you did seek us out in our shielded dome. It must be something important. Did you bring an item with you?”

Shelly eyes gleamed with delight

Shelly: <<I knew I shouldn’t have given up so soon, yesterday! I might just feel like an Inkling at this rate!>>

Shelly: <<Know alot about what?>>

Meetra Surik raised an eyebrow at the shift in personality. Seems this pony was two people. Odd, but workable. “Very well. Gerrtings, Stranaii.”

She then turned to the fillies. “You must be very accomplished, doing so much at such a young age.”

Keep up appearances, stay cool. Just how many other strange beings is she going to meet today?

“You okay?” Plant Man asked.

“I’m fine.” Meetra said a bit too quickly.

They entered the throne room, and Texty’s ears perked up. “Oh, hello every-”

He let out a yelp as his horn flashed and he ‘saw’ Meetra Surik. “W-wha… What is that?”

“My name is Meetra Surik.” Meetra replied, confused by this reaction.

“N-no, not what are you, but… I can feel… Coldness. And… Resentment, just under the surface. And under that…” Texty said.

“I can explain later.” Meetra brushed off. Damn, an empath. “Just know that I don’t want to hurt anyone.”

“She’s a good person, Texty.” Plant Man said.

Texty didn’t seem convinced.

@TheFinite
Blossom: “We also come from another time and place. In our home dimension, we protect the city of Townsville from various bad guys and monsters”

Buttercup: “Back at our home, we’re known by the world as the butt kicking and city saving group…”

Blossom & Buttercup: Poses “THE POWERPUFF GIRLS!”

Buttercup: Distant record scratch noises “Ergh, doing that without all three of us is just weird”

Blossom: “In any case, it’s very nice to meet you, Miss Surik”

@Cerebrate19
Matias: “If I know my lore well, you’d also have to give them a cylindrical tank for the ink to be reserved. So, hopefully, after the guns and tank are converted, we’d also have to connect it to the Inkling’s ink gland” I saw that Bubbles had a surprised look

Bubbles: “Wow, you know alot”

Matias: I shrugged “I read the scrolls from the game”

@Revan0123
Twilight: “oh certainly, that would be why I had Whistler call in a few of his mot experienced helpers… wonder where they all are…”

Whistler: “when they arrived earlier Vigil dragged them off for the other thing we were doing, they should be coming back any moment now.”

@Revan0123
Vigil: “oh he says there may be some party gadgets in town that could be made into proper ink shooters.”

Since Shelly could not understand non-squidtalk, she was confused as to what Matias, the Scout and Soldier were saying?

Shelly: <<Since I could only understand what Bubbles said, which was a few words of surprise and wonder, what are you guys talking about?>>

@UltraVaderMan
Gerald smiles at them

Gerald: “Glad you could join us”

@Cerebrate19
@TheFinite
He turns to Whistler

Gerald: “Yeeeah, I’d say there’s a huge time difference between her and them”

Stranaii: “And I would say that the four of them are but mere clones…where as this Meetra Surik is something…far more”

Stranaii: “Allow me to introduce myself. I am Stranaii Satau. Once the former Emperor of the Zedhean Alignment, I have been…reduced to living as an essence within this other individual known as Gerald Dalton”

Stranaii: “And I would remind the Princess that we planned to obtain me a new body this day from the Mirror Pool”

Surik held her tongue. At this time, Gerald’s perception of her will be useful; She can correct him on several preconceived notions later. Though, from what the other had said, it seems time displacement may be a factor; She had no idea what a ‘Delta’ was, and if this information is from the future…

Then her efforts may have been in vain, and the perfect imbalance was destroyed. No matter; She can rebuild here, she would simply need to find a suitable counterpart.

She would need to find a Revan.

It was then that new fillies flew in, and started talking quite a bit, something about mythological creatures, something about fighting crime? Regardless, they were simply children, and she could not bear any ill will towards them. “Hello, Blossom, Buttercup. My name is Meetra Surik, I have been displaced here from another time and place.”

@Revan0123
Whistler: “oh i have been briefed on them, how it connects to generals in a war eludes me, but being a scientist that moonlights as force commander i shouldn’t judge.”

“no offense of course but i hear the deltas are from a time much different to yours.”

@UltraVaderMan
Scout: “sounds like the new line of squirt guns you can get at Cheese Sandwich’s store. i think they even come with backpack tanks.”

Soldier: “ah, such wonderful contraptions he builds…”

Buttercup: Zip “Well then, guess it is a newcomer after all”

Blossom: Zip “Buttercup, you can’t just rudely fly away when we’re-” Notices group in front of her “Oh, good morning everyone” Sees newcomer “A griffon! Wow!” Flies over and examines her “All those mythical creatures I learned in school are coming to life in front of me! This is amazing!” Calms herself “You must be what the sound by the entrance-way was about. It’s very nice to meet you. I’m Blossom and that’s one of my sisters and fellow crime fighter, Buttercup”

Buttercup: Uses wings to give equivalent of two finger salute “Hey”

Blossom: “My other sister, Bubbles, would be here to greet you too but she’s busy with another guest right now”

Buttercup: “_{Speaking of which, what the heck’s taking her so long…?}”

@Cerebrate19
@Revan0123
Bubbles: “Splat guns?”

Matias: “Its a type of weapon that projects coloured ink across the field. Their squid-form can be used in conjunction with it to go faster and also refill their backpacks, which feed ink to the weapon”

Bubbles: “Oooooh”

@TheFinite
@Cerebrate19
Gerald: “Well then, lets not keep you waiting outside for much longer. Come on in”

Gerald: “Jedi are like monks combined with wizards. They were the guardians of peace and justice in The Republic”

@Cerebrate19
@UltraVaderMan
Shelly took the device and attached it to her hair tentacle, her smile still wide with joy

Shelly: <<I feel alot safer with this enabled>>

Shelly: <<Now its starting to feel a bit more like home. Only thing missing is some good old splat guns>>

Plant Man walked over towards the griffon to introduce himself, but paused. “You look… Tired.”

Meetra ignored the comment and began examining the plant robot. “Is this… It is, a droid! I have never seen one like you before!”

Plant Man blinked, and decided to put his concern to the side for now. “My name is Plant Man, Designation DAN-001.”

“Well, Deeyay, whoever built you certainly had a flair for the flamboyant, but they knew what they were doing.” Meetra said. “You’re really advanced compared to what I’m used to.”

Plant Man almost looked like he could blush, if he had the capability. “Oh, well obrigado, meu amigo.”

Texty blinked as the children flew off. “Oh, well, if there’s a new visitor, I’m sure they’ll end up here anyways. May as well wait for them.” He said to nobody in particular.

@Cerebrate19
@Revan0123
Matias: I gave a sage nod “Okay, that is some pretty cool tech. Now we just need one that can let Shelly, both, talk and understand us non-inklings” I looked over to a Vigil “Not that I don’t appreciate a magical body change method already available but I just think that a translation device would be easier to do so we don’t have to rely on you or Bubbles so much” I swirled around to her “No offense”

Bubbles: “None taken”

@TheFinite
Buttercup: “Hope so…anyways, time to go check what that noise was” Zip

Blossom: “BUTTERCUP, WA-…” Groans “She can be so impatient…” Turns to Texty “Sorry for the short chat but we’ve heard a noise down by the entrance. Either one of us present is leaving or we have a visitor coming in. We’re gonna check that out to see what’s happening? I’ll see you soon, Texty” Zips off down corridor

@Revan0123
Whistler: “by all means, i can tell the eyes of a veteran when i see them. what exactly are you talking about though.”

Twilight: “if it is not too much trouble… or too close to personal… may i Ask you more about the force later?”

@UltraVaderMan
Changedling: “zat would be why i am here, gentlemen. all these devices can shrink and easily attach to any clothing you may wear. that technology has been there since the days in our old world but Wind Whistler has indeed perfected it.”

“we accounted for their shapehsifting too, of course.”

@UltraVaderMan
@Cerebrate19
Shelly smiled…and immediately galloped over to Vigil and gave him a hug

Shelly: <<Oh thank you, Vigil! I’m so glad your dream self proved me wrong last night>>

@TheFinite
@Cerebrate19
Gerald: “Damn right I’m willing to vouch, Whistler. We’ve got a Jedi on our side and a pretty powerful one at that”

Gerald: “Ah, Plant Man! Good to see you. Come to see the new visitor have we?”

“It is perfectly alright.” Texty said. “I hope you will be able to sleep better this next night.”

For the briefest of moments, Meetra had something of an odd expression, one hard to place for how fleeting it was. “Seems you know me already. At least, a version of me, shrouded in legends. May I come inside? I have an object that may make me a target once again.”

Plant Man neared the entrance, and saw the griffon that was once Meetra Surik. “A visitor? She doesn’t look like a threat at least.” He said.

@Revan0123
@Cerebrate19
Bubbles: Tears up “Aww, this is so sweet”

Matias: “I couldn’t agree more…but how does one attach this particular device to Shelly?”

@TheFinite
Buttercup: “Lucky gnat…”

Blossom: “Buttercup!” Turns back to Texty “Sorry for my sister’s comment, Texty. We didn’t get a full nights sleep like you did cause of…unfortunate circumstances the previous evening”

Buttercup: “That’s an understatement…”

@TheFinite
@Revan0123
Whistler: “You do seem a bit like a monk… and if Gerald is willing to vouch…”

TWilight: “you are connected to something… old… wounded… and yet so full of benevolence… is that how the jedi feel? the deltas really understated it.”

@Revan0123
Vigil: you don't need to say anything, i'm just glad if you can smile again.

@TheFinite
@Cerebrate19
Geralds eyes widened at the name as a few tears started to form

Gerald: “Meetra…Meetra Surik. I know about you. Well, not personally but I heard of a version of your tales in my own dimension. The people you trained during your travels, they proved essential to the rebuilding of the Jedi Order after it was nearly wiped out. You stopped Sion; the Undying One. You stopped Nihilus; the World Devourer. Hell, you stopped Kreia; the Lady of Betrayal from killing The Force itself! You saved the galaxy from certain doom!”

Gerald: “You are most welcome here”

@Cerebrate19
Shelly was shocked. She didn’t think this world had the technology to do such a device like hers did. She tried speaking but she was choking up with tears of happiness

Shelly: <<I…I don’t…I don’t know what to say?>>

@UltraVaderMan
(My bad, let me fix that up.)
