/2Years until Season 1\
Previously, on "A Hell Of An Adventure".
Kurat and Adam have finally defeated Nightmare Moon… but they screwed up the entire timeline…
(30 Minutes until Sunrise)
Luna ran towards the beaten up Kurat, who was laying on the ground, his wounds closing at a rapid pace.
Luna arrived next to Kurat, asking several questions->
"Kurat! Are you ok?!"
"How did you even survive all that?!"
"What was that black mist? That wheel on your head, that flame arrow?! Kurat??"
Luna kept asking Kurat all her questions, but all he wanted to do right now was plan a way to fix the timeline he might have destroyed…
'Adam, how many years left until Season One?' Kurat asked mentally, with a hint of worry.
[2 Years Kurat. We have two years to somehow fix our mess]
'Ah…' Kurat's face was now very gloomy. Luna saw this and was increasingly worried about Kurat.
"Kurat?! Are you ok? Is Adam ok?? Why are you sad?!" Luna was worried for Kurat's mental health, I mean, he did defeat a Demi-God… an Alicorn Nightmare is a better word to describe it.
"I-I'm fine Luna… just-just let me lay here for a few minutes, k?" Kurat went back to his rest. Luna nodded and sat next to him, occasionally checking for any wounds he might have.
….
'Alright, any plans Adam?'
[I have a few, but I think this one could work, and it would require the help of Luna]
'Huh? How and why?'
[Because the Elements defeated Nightmare Moon, they founded their friendship that way, so?]
Kurat thought for a second before realising Adam's plan!
'We recreate the whole "Nightmare" event? Is that what you're trying to say?'
[Yes. Since we now possess some of her power, and we can change our Biology, we can pretend to be Nightmare Moon. And when the elements come to "defeat us", we use the split second from either some dust fog or bright light to switch places with Luna, she acts her part, and we fix our mess]
'That…. Is a good plan and all… but I wanna add something~'
[No]
'Wha-come on! Just hear me out!!!'
[No, whatever you are planning might cause a butterfly effect]
*groans*
….
Luna heard Kurat's groan and was worried again.
"Kurat? Are you really ok?" Luna asked.
"Yeah," Kurat turned to meet Luna, "I'm fine. And there is something me and Adam must ask you.
Luna tilted her head slightly to the side and asked, "What is it?"
"Well…"
[Say this: Me and Adam can't help you escape your prison at the moment, but a group of individuals will. It requires the Elements of Harmony to do so, and for that, we need Nightmare Moon, or more precisely, a fake one. I will turn into Nightmare Moon, act all evil and such, get defeated and we switch places at the right time. That way, we can avoid their detection, and you can reunite with your Sister]
'Wow, if I were her, I would be asking a lot of questions dude…' Kurat heard the plan but saw some flaws within it, but decided to roll with it.
"Me and Adam can't help you escape your prison at the moment, but a group of individuals will." Kurat explained, "It requires the Elements of Harmony to do so, and for that, we need Nightmare Moon, or more precisely, a fake one."
Luna was shocked but kept listening to Kurat's explanation.
"I will turn into Nightmare Moon, act all evil and such, get defeated and we switch places at the right time. That way, we can avoid their detection, and you can reunite with your Sister" Kurat finished his explanation.
"Hmm, first, why? And second, you can turn into Nightmare Moon? I thought you can only change into your 4 forms? And third, how do you know all this?" Luna questioned Kurat. "And last, Adam made this plan right?" Luna somehow found out…
"Ah!" Kurat was dumbfounded but answered her other questions. "Ok, first, me and Adam have… information about the near future… Don't-ask-it's-hard-to-explain!!" Kurat said that very fast.
"Second, the "why" is because if this is not accomplished, bad things will happen in the future. Third, I can change into almost anything thanks to my skil-I MEAN… spell that I made… yeah that…" Kurat's eyes face the sky.
"Hmm??" Luna started at Kurat a bit more, "alright… continue." Luna backed off as this topic might be sensitive to Kurat and Adam.
"Oh, PHEW!" Kurat wipes an imaginary sweat drop from his forehead, "alright!" Kurat gets up and asks Adam, "how long do I have left here?" Kura asked Adam for the time.
[10 Minutes Left]
"Thanks!" Kurat turned to Luna and explained another part of the plan. "Now, for this plan to work, we would need your cooperation, mostly as the "finally freed damsel" act. You appear as if you were finally freed from Nightmare Moon, and I get to keep living alone! You live in a castle with Celestia, make new friends! And me and Adam can focus on our lives! IT'S A WIN-WIN!!" Kurat exclaimed to Luna.
Luna thought for a second before asking, "why would you want to live alone? Sure you have Adam with you, but what about physical contact?"
"Well… I heard there was a Zebra named Zecora that lives in the forest. I might have passed her place a few times but never talked to her…BUT I MIGHT ONE DAY!!!" Kurat quickly saved himself, giving a somewhat white lie to Luna.
She wasn't convinced at all, but kept her thoughts to herself. "Soo, what now?" Luna asked.
"Now! We wait around 2 years, wait for some star-alignment-yada, you escape, hide in the old castle, I do the "Evil" act, lose to the hero's, I give the signal to switch, yada-yada-yada" Kurat threw his wrists around, "and…. wait what did you want to say?"
*sighs*
"I did not mean the plan, I understand that clearly, I meant about our current situation. Mostly me as I am not only freed from Nightmare Moon, but I will still stay stuck here for 2 more years, bored out of my mind!" Luna explained, Kurat understood that being stuck inside a Moon Prison, being able to do nothing, was boring.
"But wait, this is the dream realm right? Can't you just… I don't know, imagine some entertainment for yourself?" Kurat asked Luna, she is the Moon Alicorn, and The Walker of Dreams.
"First, my imagination is not as wide as yours, second, I get my entertainment from watching you and your adventures." Luna explained back to Kurat.
"Ah… I see… Adam?"
[Already on it Kurat. Remember: we share the same body and I can hear what you think, and see your memories]
*shivers!!*
Kurat was again told about the deadly weapon Adam has on him, but quickly shook it away as Adam was running him calculations.
….
[Copying memories of "Chess"….Successful!]
[Using [Unique Skill: Magicule Reactor]. Using Magicules to create "Magicule Matter"…. Successful!]
[Gained Magic: Magicule Matter!]
[Using Magicule Matter to create: Chess Bored, Chess Pieces and Chess Rule Set…Successful!]
….
"Umm, Kurat? What are you doing?" Luna stared at the smirking Kurat as he was staring towards the planet of Equus.
"Just give me a second… Adam might have made you something fun to play with during these next 2 years~" Kurat told Luna.
"Hmm?" Luna tilted her head slightly to the side, making a cute expression of a child waiting for their new toy.
(A/N: God… Luna is just soo darn cute!!)
(A/N: Also, Magicule Matter is not the ability: Item Creation. It can create objects and weapons, sure, but it will all look like energy was smashed together to form something, not like Item Creation. But thanks to Adam, it might get some colour. ;>)
Kurat looked back for a second, seeing Luna's adorable position, 'oh… DAMMIT!!! WHY IS THIS ADORABLE CREATION STUCK ON THE DAMN MOON!!!!!' Kura was screaming in his mind while turning back to face the planet.
….
/5 Minutes left until sunrise\
[It is done. I made the chess board and pieces, and a rule sheet, for beginners. I also added some colour to make it seem more real. Tell Luna to learn the game, make a clone of herself and play against herself, it will be both good for her boredom and will strengthen her mind]
"Thanks Adam!"
"What did Adam say to you?" Luna was curious.
"Not what he said, but what he made for you!" Kurat held out his hands and a chess board with a sheet of paper that contained the rules, and the pieces, all appeared. Luna was kind-of shocked, but was more interested in the board game.
"What is this Kurat?" Luna went over to the chess set.
"Ever heard of Chess?" Kurat asked.
"No, it looks more like checkers, but the pieces are a bit weird?"
"Well-" Kurat was cut off by Adam.
[1 Minute until sunrise. Hurry this up!]
"Ah, right…" Kurat quickly explained to Luna, "the rules are there, it will explain how the game works and the pieces used, so you learn how to play, make a copy of yourself and play against yourself! Also-" Kurat stopped to check back with Adam.
[20 Seconds Left]
"I gotta head back as the sun is coming up!"
Luna heard that and frowned slightly before asking Kurat, "will you come back?"
"Eeyup." Kurat said it, making his voice sound deeper to match Big Mac's voice.
Luna smiled, "then… I will learn this "Chess Game" and play with you when you come back! And don't worry about how, I will summon you here immediately everytime you sleep!"
[5 Seconds Left]
"Thanks Lu-Lu!" Kurat starts to dissolve, "Welp, CYA!!" And with that, the 2025 season-oops, wrong line…
*flips through the script*
AHA! Here~
AHEM!
And with that, Kurat turned to dust, leaving Luna alone with a Chess Board Game to learn and play.
Luna stared back at the Chess Game, levitated the rule sheet and started to read it, learning how to play, what the rules are, and how each piece moved.
…..
In the Waking World->
*LARGE TAKE IN OF AIR*
Kura inhaled as he got up. He first checked his body for any remnants, after making sure there was none, he then checked in with Adam.
"Ok now to prepare for these next 2 years, and to make some more games as playing chess for 2 years might get boring, and also tell me about that "Dream Walker" skill I got!" Kurat had an idea what the skill is, but wanted confirmation from Adam.
[The Skill [Unique Skill: Dream Walker] is just like Luna's ability. The User is able to enter the dream realm and access others' dreams, make changes and so on. And because you and Luna are the only ones able to do it, in the dream realm, you both are "Gods" in a sense]
Kurat grinned at the thought of being a god, it sounded cool and fun. Able to do anything you wished, but instead of just your dreams, you can do it in others dreams as well.
"Heheheh~ the amount of bullsh*t I can get away with is endless~" And because of that, Adam decided to be an ass.
[Locking [Unique Skill: Dream Walker]. Reason: in your hands/hoofs, it is too dangerous]
"WHA! Hey!! I wasn't gonna do anything bad!" Kurat lied through his teeth.
[You will. And that is a fact]
*groans..*
Kurat slumped back into his futon, crossing his arms like a child who is mad at someone for taking their favourite toy.
[Image Captured]
"OI! STOP TAKING PICTURES OF MY "MOMENTS" ALRIGHT!!" Kurat was annoyed before, but is now pissed.
[No]
[Unlike you, I have another reason to do this; to show Luna your idiotic side]
*Groans!!*
[Ahahahahaha!]
"….you laugh like a villain" Kurat tried to insult Adam.
[You and I both know I only laugh at your embarrassing moments and at your childish actions~]
"Oh, hahaha…very funny, Adam!"
….
After the whole ordeal with Kurat and Adam, it was now time to plan. We now see Kurat in the Library, discussing with Adam about his Map Idea.
[No]
"Oh, come on Adam! Think about the usefulness it can do!"
[I can literally create an artificial map inside your head, and I can use Magicule Matter to create one whenever we need]
"Ok, but what about others? What if someone decides to venture into the forest?" Kurat's argument made sense, but Adam retorted.
[First, only Zecora lives in the EverFree Forest, and I bet she has a map already made, or had somehow memorised a specific layout, necessarily made to her routes. And don't even bring up the Mane 6, later in the show, only Twilight Sparkle is seen venturing in, and it's to visit Zecora, or the whole group heading to the castle, and that book called "Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide" as a map already made that leads to this castle. In conclusion, only we would ever need a proper map, and that is not an issue. So making another map is both useless and a waste of time]
"Oh really Adam?" Kurat raised his right eyebrow.
[Yes really]
*Ahem!*
Kurat sat down, sitting like a Lawyer.
"Case 1: The CMC. They ventured into the EverFree forest to look for a chicken, not to visit Zecora to see the old castle. Case 2: Other Ponies. Some ponies like Lyra and Bon Bon, or some random dare devil that was never shown in the show might enter the EverFree forest. In conclusion to my two cases, one might or will happen, and the other is maybe," Kurat then proceeded to place his hand on his chest, to be more dramatic, and the voice also helped, "and I CAN'T let innocent ponies get hurt, can I?"
Adam wanted to retort but couldn't find an answer for the second case, but the first case?
[Sure, your other statement makes sense, in some weird way, but the CMC are children. Running into the unknown, especially to earn their cutie marks, which you don't even have yet, is what some who are desperate enough, will do. Plus, they are kids]
"Uhh…" Kurat couldn't make an excuse but also heard the "Cutie Make" thing.
"Wait, my Cutie Mark?" Kurat thought for a second, 'huh, never really bothered with that, huh?'
[Turn into any pony form and check your flank]
Kurat did just that and snapped his fingers, turning into his Alicorn form, and then proceeded to check his flank, just now realising he had no Cutie Mark.
"Huh, now would you look at that, I'm Cutie Markless… oooooooOOOOOO!!! ADAM!!"
[Please no. Please don't do stupid sh*t again, just to earn a Cutie Mark that probably won't even matter in the future. And don't you say "but others will think I'm weird", because no one or no pony will give a fu*k about it]
*GASP!!*
"Adam! You can't swear in the Pony World!" Kurat tried to be even more dramatic… PFF- AHAHAHAHAHA!!
[Really? Questioning my language? Did you really forget all the times you used multiple curse words, and some on a literal Demon-Curse-Alicorn Goddess? Or should I remind you-actually, let me knock you out and show you all the times you sweared]
Kurat was in danger, "wait, wait, wait, wait, Adam, Adam!! ADAM!!"
[Knock out in 3…]
"WAIT WAIT WAIT!!"
[2….]
"BUD-BUDDY! PLEASE I GET IT! I WON'T BACK TALK AND SAY STUPID THINGS!!" Kurat tried to stop Adam, but the countdown still continued.
[1….]
"WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT! I'M NOT IN MY FUTON!!!"
[I don't care, you need to sit through this lecture, Knock Out initiated]
"NOOOO- *snoring*" Yes. Adam knocked out Kurat. Adam then proceeded to show every single time that Kurat sweared, lecturing on every single moment that he did. That day, Kurat learned to never back talk to Adam… He might forget~
…..
On the Moon->
We see Luna playing against herself, Luna (Real) was playing the white pieces, while Luna (Clone) was playing the black pieces.
Luna (Real): Hmm… *moves the queen to block Luna's (Clone) black king's escape* Check!
Luna (Clone): *starts to sweat a bit* Uhh… *sees no way out and sees Luna's (Real) Rook for the incoming checkmate*
Luna (Clone): *sighs* you win… *tiles her black king, making it fall, declaring Luna (Real) as the winner*
Luna (Real): HUZZAH! *gets up and does a victory pose* How many wins is that!
Luna (Clone): 10-2. 10 for me, and 2 for you.
Luna (Real): *Ack!*
The ratio of the Clone and the Real Wins: 5:1 (10-2). Safe to say, Luna needs a lot of practice, but still! Winning two games is a good start.
Pinkie Pie comes out of nowhere and comments, "but what about the clone? They are both the same, aren't they?"
WHAT THE?! GET OUT!! *kicks Pinkie Pie Out*
"Waaahhh!!" Pinkie Pie screams but was sent back to her home in Ponyville, I made sure to erase her memories of just now… How did she-never mind… Pinkie is Pinkie…
….
