Chapter 4: 4
!
Taylor found herself in her home on the coach in front of the tv. She wasn't in the locker anymore and clean. She wonders how could this be, the tv suddenly turned on and on the screen is an episode of Star Trek where John de Lancie, playing Q is on the screen. The episode is playing normally till the actors all stop and froze and Q turns to the camera.
"Hello Taylor Hebert," Q greeted her.
"Are you talking to me?" Taylor ask.
"Yes," Q said as he steps out of the tv and into the living room.
"Is this real?" Taylor ask.
"Yes me and the other Q's are still debating if you actually summon us or just created us. This world is interesting for us. As you know being a fan that us Q are dying from boredom and you trigging and gaining the power to summon has given us new things and new possibilities," Q said.
"I trigger and gain the power to summon you and the rest of the Q?" Taylor ask.
"Yes, but it was more like me and the others all hearing your call and being the first new thing we have encountered for Juales or in your language multiple beginning and end of time. Yes we have seen the end of one universe and the start of another, making changes to see what that change cause but at this point we done everything and I mean everything in the Star Trek universe. Till your call guided us to you, or created us. As, I said we're not sure about it, are we copies or creations. Not that we care that much, we now have lots of new universes to explore. All thanks to you and thank you for that," Q said.
"Don't mention it," Taylor said and thought of something. "Can you handle the Endbringers to show your thanks?"
"Oh we already taken care of the bigger threat,"Q said making the tv to show Scion in a cage.
"Scion?" Taylor ask.
"It's actually Zion and here's a film to explain the history of Zion's race," Q said making the tv play a video in the form of a documentary or one of those old film strips that schools use to play. With it revealing that Zion use to part of a twosome, The Warrior and The Thinker.
The Entities first arose on a grey, silty world, which they destroyed and rode the explosion out to new worlds. The early ancestor of The Warrior first landed on a world with caustic acid rain, filled with plant life, as did another Entity. The two parasitized the plant life to survive and reproduce, and experimented, using their abilities to nourish and protect the plants and seeing which ones survived.
The two devoured the plants and took back their shards, forming once again into two singular entities. The second entity suggested to the ancestor that the two attack each other, in small, measured ways, and then recombine their shards and attack each other again so that they might find the combinations that survived and discard the rest. After experimenting like that as well for a time, they destroyed that world as well, sending out countless fragments of themselves to other worlds.
The Warrior's ancestor landed on a world with advanced technology. The entities learned of gravity-warping technology, and were studied in turn by the species. Some of them sought to rule; those they had bonded with lost the war, and the entities were rooted out. They formed three larger Entities, who destroyed the planet and fled, offspring scattering in every direction. This time, they controlled their paths with gravity and warped space.
The cycle repeated over three thousand times, and they grew more powerful each time. At some point, The Warrior's ancestors divided themselves into two entities, Warrior and Thinker, who would travel in pairs together. Each had slightly different attitudes and capabilities, so that they could compare different ways of doing things.
As Eden began to approach Earth, she drew towards Scion before they began to pick out various sub-worlds for themselves and their shards. She felt that Scion's constant communications were distracting as she was using her powers to begin mapping out their actions after their arrival. She started to reform herself for a deeper simulation when she noticed a third broadcast. Recognizing that it was a broadcast from another Entity, Eden hesitated before sending a broadcast signaling her location.
The third Entity sent a garbled reply and Eden spent time analyzing it. She was then met by the third Entity who rammed against her in an ancient tradition meant to exchange shards. She worked to salvage key shards and give ones she could afford to lose on to the other Entity. Eden and the third Entity broke apart before Scion broadcasted his concern.
Eden sent a confident response back and allowed Scion to take over some of her duties before she looked through her new shards. After looking through them, she began to form a simulacrum of the host species, set out criteria for an optimal future, and then looked for a future that matched that optimal future.
Scion interrupts the simulation, asking about their destination, and Eden absently agrees. She thinks on the future she had seen and starts to refine it. She reorganizes herself as she approaches their destination and sends Scion a confident reply when he expresses concern. Eden continues to work on her reorganization until she hits the ground.
On the way down, Eden alters one of the third Entities' shards, replacing her own ability to find the optimal future. She realizes that she has made a mistake too late to fix it, and hits the ground hard at one world's version of Cote D'ivoire, Africa.
Later, Eden starts to pull herself together. She starts to experiment as she works to create a humanoid avatar. After some time, she raises her head and opened her eyes to see Fortuna standing before her. She realizes that Fortuna possessed the shard she had discarded and restricts it - rendering her and others like her immune to the shard's future-seeing power. Eden then dismissed Fortuna before it continued to create her avatar and bent over.
A woman would help Fortuna drive a knife into the avatar's neck, causing the entity to struggle and fail to form its body. Severing this connection when Eden was most vulnerable dealt the critical blow to the entity.
Eden did not immediately die; she was effectively left in a coma. As she was in an interim state where she had not distributed or discarded nearly enough of her powers, Cauldron could harvest her body as a source of serums to give people powers by connecting them to Eden's shards. By 1982, this harvesting process truly killed Eden as Cauldron took away the powers she needed to survive.
Although the Thinker focused on holding its shards in reserve to deploy them as needed to make the optimal future a reality, the entity did discard some shards to avoid dwarfing the planet upon arrival. In 1982, Scion initially destroyed many of these shards on sight as they were dead and would fail to provide usable results. However, he soon stopped bothering once he found out that his partner was truly dead: his partner's death left him emotionally crushed and deeply depressed.
"The Warrior and The Thinker would have destroyed other Earths?" Taylor ask.
"Yes and me and the other Qs are hunting the others of Zion's race down. It's been a long time since we been able to hunt something like this and we think that's enough to show our thanks," Q said. "And before you ask, while you being our summoner has given all of us a little voice telling us to help you. That only works on lower level beings."
"But what about the endbringers?" Taylor ask.
"The others can help with that. We already handling the big threats," Q said.
"Big threats?" Taylor ask.
"Cosmic level threats and other cosmic threats. We stop a galaxy from crashing into this one by the way. This new universe is giving us lots to do," Q said. (1)
"Oh, I see you're already helping," Taylor said.
"Yes me and the others are. Also you're still in the locker, we're talking between nanoseconds. This way we're able to talk and you to learn about what you can do and talk with the others you summon," Q said.
"Others from Star Trek?" Taylor ask.
"Yes but there are many more. You managed to summon people from fictional worlds from your point of view that are either owned or were licensed to make toys and games by the Hasbro company. But it seems that it doesn't count for the ones that Hasbro just brought the company that made it, like Power Rangers," Q said.
"Hasbro? I summon the IP of Hasbro?" Taylor ask becoming overwhelmed.
"Yes and while you're here you can prepare and learn before you meet the others. But there are others who can help you with your issues," Q said.
"Hello Taylor Hebert," Celestia said walking out of the kitchen.
"Princess Celestia?" Taylor ask seeing the alicorn princess standing in front of her.
"Yes I'm here to help you and guide you," Celestia said as she transforms into her human self and sits down besides Taylor. "You're very confused and need someone to help you."
"Which is why, I went and made this mental world for you and the My Little Pony cast to help you. Then we can see the others," Q said.
"Others? They're not mad that I summon them to this world? That, I...," Taylor began having a break down till a comforting hand began rubbing her back calming her down and she turn to see the warm smile of Celestia.
"Q already informed us of how we all came here and that we might have been created by you and not brought from the worlds we think we came from," Celestia said.
"What about you finding the Star Trek universe where, I took you from?" Taylor ask Q.
"Tried and we're still looking. Like Rick and Morty, there is an infinite amount of universes out there and that's only for the universe where, I come from. At least it gives me and the others something to do, looking for the right universe where we came from. Unless we're just your creations," Q said.
"But I never heard of a power that could make someone like you being so powerful," Taylor said.
"About that the shard that gave you your power, is now burnt out," Q said.
"What?" Taylor ask.
"You burnt out your power and can't summon anymore. We're looking into how to fix it, and once it is we can see if you can't unsummon us and return us to the universe we came from. But that's for the future and you have lots to learn. Celestia I leave the rest up to you," Q said as he disappears.
"This is too much," Taylor said.
"Don't worry you're in good hands," Celestia said. "Me and the others are here to help you."
"Others?" Taylor ask.
"Look out the window," Celestia said.
Taylor looked out of the window and instead of seeing the decaying streets of Brockton Bay. Instead the world outside, is colorful and bright, the ponies of My Little Pony from the first generation to the newest are all there. There is also the Equestria Girls world there too, with the human counterparts of the ponies interacting with the ponies and other races. A world of magic and friendship.
"This is all just a mental world but it gives us all the time to adjust. We can live a lifetime here while our real bodies are in the real world. So we can spend years here and you can have the help you need," Celestia said as she wraps her arms around Taylor.
"Thank you," Taylor said.
Real World Present Time -
"And that's what happen to your daughter," Luna the alicorn princess of the moon said to Danny Hebert the father of Taylor.
"How long was she in the metal world?" Danny ask.
"Long enough for her to get to know all of us," Luna said.
"How much has she changed?" Danny ask.
"She looks as you remember, but she has mentally matured beyond her physical years. Several hundred years a matter of fact," Luna said.
"When can, I see her?" Danny ask.
"She's call for you when she's ready to see you," Luna said teleporting away.
Leaving Danny alone as he waited for Taylor to call for him.

Author's Notes -
1 - The Q are all but gods but because they are immortal they are a dying race. Because of the fact they have done everything already and have seen everything, and have lived to see the universe end and the start of a new one, many times. So they're just bored to death as there is nothing left to live for. But thanks to Taylor either creating them or bringing them to life, they get to learn and see new things.
