Mata Nui in Equestria [One Shot]

>Day Time Before Time in Equestria.

>After being defeated by your brother Makuta, you were flung across the galaxy trapped in the Mask of life and crash landed here.

>Here on this strange planet.  

>All the beings here were completely biological, much unlike yourself.

>Now you were a powerful Toa warrior, your body forged by the mask from the dirt in the ground.

>You wielded a powerful blade and of course the powers of the Mask of Life.

>You had made contact with the leaders of the nation you resided in, Equestria, roughly a month ago.

>You approach the student of the land’s leader, Twilight Sparkle.

>The two of you got along well.

>She was a being of intellect, and taught you many things about this world.

>Of course the fact they all vaguely reminded you of something close to female Kane-Ra, but they were definitely not creatures created by Makuta Teridax.

“Greetings, Twilight Sparkle. I have returned to read more of the literature within this library. Is that a problem?”

>You towered over the small violet being, but she knew better than to be afraid of you.

>”Sure! What’ll it be today? History? Art? Music? Magic?”

>It had taken some time for you to learn their language, but it was simple enough.

“I was hoping to read some more history if that is alright with you.”

>”No problem! Come on in!”

>Easier said than done.

>You practically had to crawl into the tree house, and you had to crouch to keep from smashing a hole in the ceiling.

>You pick out a few books and return to your home.

>It’s a rather large sized building made of stone that you built.

>It had to be big; you were big.

>You sit down and begin reading the first book.

>Such a rich history full of culture.

>Culture and heroes.

>You remembered the tales of Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

>They reminded you of the Toa from your home.

>Mighty warriors with great power that were summoned in times of need to fight for all.

>You reach history from a thousand years ago.

>This Discord creature mentioned wasn’t unfamiliar to you; you’d been shown his statue.

>A strange being composed of several other creatures.

>It almost reminded you of the Bohrok-Kal Kaita.

>Vaguely.

>On that note, there existed those creatures as well.

>Well, similar ones.

>A horde of insects called Changelings, led by a villainous Queen.

>Her defeat was not at the hands of this world’s stand-ins for Toa, but by the very thing that sustained her.

>Beings that feed off of love.

>Yes, this world had some odd villains.

>You turn the page and read about the true unification under Celestia and Luna, the rulers of this land.

>Unity.

>One of the three virtues of the Matoran.

>The Matoran you failed to protect.

>Still, you had a chance to protect these… beings.

>A threat might rise that they couldn’t handle.

>You finish that chapter and turn to the next.

>Suddenly, a commotion.

>You put the book down, marking your place with a bookmark, and exit your home.

>The skies are dotted with pink clouds.

>You narrow your eyes.

>This is a sign the Discord creature has escaped.

>You were told the tale of his last escape, and this was one of the signs.

>You hurry off to meet up with Twilight Sparkle.

“Does this mean what I think it means?”

>”Unfortunately, yes it does. It’s progressing faster this time though; Discord isn’t messing around!”

>Sure enough, the ground is changing to checkerboards and chunks of earth under buildings float into the sky above.

>Roads turn to soap and plants turn to geometric figures.

>Then the ringmaster appears.

>”Discord!”

>The other five heroes arrive.

>”Oh no, not this time. You see, I’ve been planning this ever since you sealed me away. I’m skipping the games!”

>He snaps his fingers and the six p0nies turn gray.

“What did you do to them?!”

>He looks to you, interested.

>”Oh? And what are you supposed to be?”

“I am Mata Nui, a Toa warrior. What have you done, villain?”

>”’Toa’? What a weird name. You obviously aren’t from around here. Still, no chances!”

>He taps your mask but instead of becoming like the six warriors, your mask glows and sends the being backwards.

>”What was that?!”

“My Mask of Life. Apparently it prevents you doing whatever you did to them to me.”

>You calmly march over and grab the being’s beard.

“Change everything back and leave this land! NOW!”

>”Or what? You’ll shine your mask at me?”

>You draw your blade and hold it to his throat.

“Or I’ll separate your head from your body.”

>That was plenty enough motivation.

>The world returned and the being vanished.

>You turn back and hold your hand out to the six p0nies.

>Your mask’s power restores them.

>”What happened?” asked the blue one.

“That Discord creature did something to you. I drove him off however; he won’t be a problem again.”

>Suddenly Celestia appears in a flash of white light.

>”Mata Nui, I have come to thank you for dealing with Discord when my Student and her friends could not.”

>How she knew this fast was a mystery to even you.

“Think nothing of it, Princess Celestia. It is what any true Toa would do.”

>”I see. Perhaps you could tell me tales of these Toa warriors and your home.”

“Perhaps.”

>You had a new people to protect now.

>You knew that the Toa warriors would be able to stop Makuta Teridax, your brother.

>They were inside him after all; they could take him apart from within.

>There were at least two teams of active Toa there anyway.

>Your mission was now clear.

>You would defend these p0nies when their greatest heroes could not.

>Perhaps you could even have the honor of fighting alongside them in battle.

>Today was a good day.
