/1 Year and 5 Months Before Season 1\
(Before we start, I have to say… Thanks for reading my book! It started as a "Kill Time" project, and then my first comments rolled in…. And I knew I had to continue, at my own pace, no rushing. Anyways, THANKS FOR READING!!!!)
(A/N: Also, to add onto this… I MADE ANOTHER BOOK!!!! The same writing style or similar, timing is also the same. Title of said book: The Forgotten Forest. There might be errors in the chapters so point them out please! Criticism is appreciated, just don't be an a*s about it… OK BYE!!!!!)
….
It was 5 months from when Kurat first appeared in Ponyville. Almost every pony there knows him and treats him nicely.
Kurat spent these months working his butt off, to earn the amount needed to buy his house.
We see him at Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Bucking, and talking to Adam.
'Man… almost got enough to afford my home, ey Adam?' Kurat was excited to say the least.
[Our home]
[And yes, it is exciting indeed. We can finally start the "Comic Store" project]
'IT IS CALLED MANGA!!!'
[Well, I am doing most of the work, so I call it Comic. And isn't "Manga" just Japanese for "Comic"?]
'Well-' Kurat couldn't think of a counter argument, so he stayed at lent and kept Apple Bucking…
….
We see Kurat taking his break and chatting with Apple Bloom and Applejack. Kurat was explaining his plans after work to finally buy himself his own home and to stop sleeping in a Library like a nerd, to which Applejack and Apple Bloom started to laugh.
*Laughing*
"Haha, ho-that, hah, that is one mighty fine goal you got there partner." Applejack blurted to Kurat, still laughing from his comment.
"Hehe, yeah~" Kurat finished eating his apple and was about to continue his work when Apple Bloom was suddenly next to him. Kurat was spooked.
'What the- how did she-' Adam cuts him off.
[Before you ask, even I didn't know how she got there… and I scan our surroundings often]
*Sighs*
"Yes, Apple Bloom?" He asked.
"Mr Kurat?" She was cut off by Kurat who said there was no need for formal introductions. "Alright, I just wanted to ask," she pointed at his flank, "why don't you got a Cutie Mark yet?" She asked innocently.
"Oh that… I'd rather not say little one." Kurat got up and went back to work. Apple Bloom looks confused before Applejack fondles her hair and says, "maybe he doesn't like talking about it, Sugar Cube."
Apple Bloom looked at her elder sister before turning to Kurat, who was seen levitating a few buckets of apples into the barn.
Apple Bloom thought for a second before asking, "but… why?"
"Well, some ponies don't get their cutie mark early, some don't get it… ever. Just like Kurat over there," Applejack says as she pointed to him. They both continued to watch as he worked…
…..
"Here ya go Kurat." Applejack gave Kurat his pay and he thanked her. As he was about to leave, Apple Bloom was waiting behind him, spooking him again. He held his hoof over his heart, dropping his Bits.
"Oh! Apple Bloom, please-please don't scare me like that! Hoo," Kurat levitated his money, and placed them into his Pocket Dimension, to which Applejack commented on how it never fails to surprise her in his ways around magic.
"Thanks for the compliment boss, and now about you, did you need anything Apple Bloom?" Kurat already thought of a reason but wanted to hear her say it.
"Could you levitate me like we usually do? I wanna see if I can fly a bit higher this time?" She said excitedly.
"Hmm… sure!" Kurat was already levitating her off the ground, to which his boss commented on her little sister's safety. "Don't worry Boss, She's fine~" Kurat remarked as he saw Apple Bloom doing circles in the air while shouting "WOOOHOOOOO" and "I LOVE DOING THIS!!" And such.
They had fun for about 10 minutes, and some funny moments occurred…
As the duo were laughing and having fun, Applejack said, "sorry y'all, but me and Bloom gotta head to the market for some ingredients for dinner."
"Oh, alright." He looked up at Apple Bloom and shouted, "HEY BLOOM! APPLEJACK SAID YOU NEED TO COME DOWN AND FOLLOW HER TO THE MARKET!"
Kurat levitated her back down, to which she complained, "awww!! Five more minutes, please Applejack!" She gave her the "Puppy Dog Eyes", but Applejack was stern about her decision.
"Awww, philly…" Apple Bloom said as she trotted over to her house. Kurat told Applejack goodbye, to which she tipped her hat to him….
…
We see Kurat heading back to the Golden Oak Tree to gather his stuff. On the way, he was greeted by a loud scream coming his way.
"Now who would-OH GOD!!" Kurat was slammed into the ground after seeing a blue blue coming at full speed towards him. They both crashed into each other.
*Groans…*
*Groans..*
The blue blur, which was Rainbow Dash, finally got up, rubbing her head while apologising to Kurat. "Hehe, sorry man, didn't see you there." She rubbed her head again while groaning in pain.
"Ugh…" Kurat got up, "I-I think you broke some ribs…"
"Oh, really? Here, let me help you see a doctor." Rainbow Dash was cut off by Kurat who said he was fine now. She was confused before he explained about his Regeneration, to which, to no one's surprise, was very shocked, confused, and excited to know more about.
"Woah there!" Kurat said. He also realised what he just blurted out… wow, what a shocker…
[You just had to say it, didn't you? Huh? Now not only did you reveal some of your abilities, your pocket dimension, you also now revealed your Regeneration… I wouldn't be surprised if you told somepony you also couldn't feel pain…]
'Adam… please, can you scold me later, I need to get out of this situation!!'
"So! Not only can you throw those "Red", "Blue", and "Purple" things, you also have like, an unlimited storage-thing, you now have something that heals you?! WITHOUT A DOCTOR OR A POTION!!! AWESOME!!!" Safe to say, she had a lot of questions and ideas, to which Kurat needed to stop before it happened.
"Look Dash, I need to rush home! I can't talk right now alright, and why did you crash into me to begin with?" Kurat diverted the conversation from "Regeneration Questions" to "why did you fly at near the speed of sound and cracked my ribs."
"Oh…. Hehe…" she rubbed the back of her neck before responding, "I was testing some new tricks for the wonderbolts… and I sorta… got carried away… hehe… sorry again Kurat." Rainbow Dash said and apologised to Kurat.
"I see…" Kurat said, but said it while showing the "Looking MotherFu*kerly at You" face.
"Well, I gotta go, cya Dashy!" Kurat said before sprinting off. Rainbow Dash giggled a bit before saying to herself, "that dude never fails to surprise me… "Regeneration", I wouldn't be surprised if he was an Alicorn in Disguise…" she flew off, needing some rest after her "accident" today…
….
We see Kurat finally make it back to the Library. He rushes in, collects all his stuff, and the most important one yet… All 31 Volumes of Jujutsu Kaisen-Turned Pony. Basically: Turn the Humans into Ponies… Fun!
"Ok! Got my stuff! Finished talking to my inner demons, and now…. What am I forgetting?" Kurat thought hard before Adam called him.
[*Ahem!*]
[Forgetting something?]
"Ah…. Right…." Kurat remembered the scolding he told Adam to postpone…. It was time for "scolding Kurat Melenia".
[First: Why did you just reveal our Regeneration to Rainbow Dash? She might go and tell her friends, who might tell others! You are lucky that small brain of yours didn't say "Infinite" Regeneration, or you would be in worse trouble than a "scolding"]
*Groans*
[Don't you groan at me mister!]
[Second: Stand up straight while I am scolding you!]
Kurat rolled his eyes. He couldn't give a flying fu*k about it. Adam was even more pissed~
[Oh… so this is how you act when someone teaches you, huh? Shall I… tell Luna?]
*Random Glass Broken Sound*
"Uh! Wait!! Don't tell her, she might lecture me for the whole night!!" Kurat was thinking of excuses and begged.
[Then listen, and listen well. At this point, revealing your abilities might happen more often, so for the sake of us all, do not mention "Skills", "Your Past", and do not show your Human Form unless you are absolutely alone. I know you probably want to have a proper run and jump of a bridge for sh*ts and giggles, and I know you wanna shoot lasers while flying in your Alicorn form, so none of that either. And please, for both your identity and my sanity, please, just PLEASE! Take this warning and heed to it! Understood? Or do I have to manifest a belt in the dream realm and beat your a*s like a drunk step-father?]
*Gulp*
Kurat nodded very quickly. He understood the Three Rules Adam had placed on him, alongside the other "countless" rules he also made… but these were exceptionally important. Mentioning Skills could be a rabbit hole of questions, showing his human form would also mention questions talking about his past was already off the table… other than Maria, and his Introvert Life… not much he really cared to talk about.
After confirming with Adam, he told Kurat to head to the Mayor's office to officially obtain a house.
….
"Welp… goodbye tree Library… you might be missed." Kurat said his goodbyes to his temporary home and turned away, starting a new chapter in his life…. Getting a permanent home!
As he walked down the streets of Ponyville, he started to look around, commenting mentally about the daily lives of any pony he saw.
'Huh, it seems like Applejack and Applebloom are having an argument… I see some vegetables, probably about making Applebloom eat her veggies… hmm, I remember when I used to argue with my Mom about not eating my greens… mmhmm, good times.' Kurat quickly turned away and spotted two fillies, one who rode a scooter, and one who was white like Rarity.
'Huh, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, playing together? I thought they only all met at that brats party? Huh, neat.' He turned and saw a couple having a romantic lunch, how did he know it was romantic? He saw them sharing a spaghetti noodle… and kissing… so anyways.
Kurat continued his lovely walk, chatting with Adam if he got bored, or commenting on the lives of some ponies here in Ponyville…
He was half way there when he smelled something… something tasty… something that needed to get into his mouth.
"Hmmm," he stopped for a moment to think, 'hey Adam? How many Bits do I have?'
[You have… 360 Bits. 350 for the house, and 10 extra for whatever you want… we could have had more if you hadn't spent most of it on sweets and desserts… even when Pinkie offered to give some free cupcakes, you still paid… so there's your answer]
'HEY! THEY WERE DELICIOUSLY DELICIOUS!!! I HAD TO HAVE THEM EVERYDAY!!! IT'S A NECESSITY AT THIS POINT-' Adam cuts him off to mock him.
[A "Necessity" huh? If you weren't a near Demi-God, you would have had multiple counts of Type-5 Diabetes by now… and teeth rotting is also on the list…. Be grateful I even let you buy them to begin with]
'Aww, come on man! You liked them too. You know I know you can also taste it if you wanted~ You~ Liked~ Them~" Kurat teased Adam.
[Ok? So what? What is your point? I can't get Diabetes and teeth rot, and I forgot to mention all the Muffins Derpy brings over… how they are more healthier than the cupcakes is still something I want to know]
'Can't you just like… analyze them?'
[I can… but I won't. It's not important. Also, GET A MOVE ON BOY!! PONIES ARE STARING AT YOU LIKE YOU'RE A WEEPING ANGEL STATUE!!]
"Gah!" Kurat closed his ears to hopefully stop the screaming… but after looking around, he did see some ponies staring at him. He blushed and chuckled nervously, and went on his merry way…
Kurat followed the scent and saw Sugar Cube Corner. "Oh, I know where this is going~" he walked up, hoping Pinkie had a new recipe for him to try…
As he entered the shop, he was greeted by, not Pinkie Pie, but by Mr Cake.
"Oh! Nice to see your Kurat, what can I do for you?" Mr Cake asked Kurat.
"Hi sir, I was wondering what that smell was actually, and I just had to try some!" Kurat was already to spend his last 10 Bits on whatever they were cooking up!
(A/N: To remember: 360 Bits currently owned. House = 350 Bits. Extra = 10 Bits)
"Oh! Then you're in luck! The first batch just came out of the oven, w-want a taste?" Mr Cake said, smiling.
Kurat slammed his hooves on the counter, making Mr Cake a bit afraid, and Kurat looked at him, straight in the eyes and said… "yes."
"Uh… I'll be right b-back Kurat…" Mr Cake walked away… slowly. He turned back a glance at Kurat, seeing him stare at him like he's an expensive art work…
[You're making a fool of yourself]
'SO WHAT?! IT'S TASTY FOOD!' Kurat screamed mentally.
[*Sighs*]
[Yes, "tasty food", the same line you used back on Earth… when you scared the employees after you said, and I quote, "SUBARASHII!!!!" While gulping down your 5th bowl of Ramen…you gluttonous child]
'HEY! IT WAS DELICIOUS AND YOU KNOW IT!!'
[Yeah… anyways. Stop staring at Mr Cake]
*Hmph!*
Kurat looked away, and acted normal again….
…
"Alright! Here you go, one Supreme Blueberry Cupcake, with a topping of Cherry. Enjoy!" Mr Cake said as he gave Kurat the cupcake. Mr Cake didn't even see it disappear from his hoof as Kurat already teleported it into his mouth.
*Chewing sounds*
"Mmmm~" Kurat moaned. Mr Cake looked dumbfounded at Kurat but continued, "I see you like it, would you like to buy more-GAH!" He screamed as Kurat slammed 10 Bits onto the counter.
"Yes." Was all Kurat said.
"I-I can give you 5 Cupcakes… 2 Bits per Cupcake Mr Kurat… please stop slamming onto my counter…." Mr Cake said, now a bit more scared.
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" then… "OKAY!!!" Kurat got into his face.
[….why are you like this? You never act like this…]
'Adam, for once… I don't even know…' Kurat told Adam in Jeffy's voice.
(A/N: Jerry From the YouTube channel: SML or Super Mario Logan. Check it out! It's great!!)
"Ok…" Mr Cake left for a minute before coming back with a box, which held the 5 Supreme Blueberry Cupcakes. Kurat took the box and sat on a random table. He opened said Nox and started to gulf all the food down, which made Mr Cake give him a glass of chocolate milkshake.
"Huh?" Kurat said, looking at the drink, "I didn't buy a chocolate drink?"
"It's on the house. You come in here almost every single day, from the day you arrived here in Ponyville, you're basically a valued customer here. So this is the least I could do, and how you enjoy these treats… It makes me happy, really." Mr Cale smiled as he walked back to the kitchen.
Kurat took another look at his drink beside him, smiling. "Huh… thanks for the drink." He said to himself. He took the Chocolate Milk and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing the cup, he burped… loud.
*BRUP!!*
"Oops, excuse me~" he said, laughing halfheartedly while covering his mouth with his right hoof…
….
After Kurat finished his food, he threw the box away and left the store, but not without thanking Mr Cake for the food.
"No problem Mr Kurat!! Come back soon!" Mr Cake said as he saw Kurat walking away…
As Kurat was walking towards the Mayor's office, he kept thinking about the first main event happening soon.
'Man… I still get very nervous thinking about it. I gotta play the role of Nightmare Moon, and somehow trap Celestia… somewhere… make all the cannon traps for the Mane 6, get defeated-wait…. Adam?' Kurat had a thought.
[Yes Kurat?]
'Wouldn't I be immune to the Elements? You know, Spiritual Nullification and all… isn't the Elements of Harmony basically Spirit Magic? Or am I missing something here.' Kurat asked.
[You are both right and wrong]
'Explanation, if you don't mind.'
[*Ahem!*]
[When Celestia and Luna first used the Elements on Discord, they didn't really use the Elements, but rather, used a petrification spell that was boosted by the Elements. If you remember Season 9 that is. And when Celestia banished Luna to the moon, she did also use the Elements on her, but she knew a spell that banished beings to near-eternal prisons. And for Luna, it was the Moon, and both events were Physically Based. Turning one to Stone and Sending one to the Moon to be imprisoned. But if you're an Element of Harmony Holder, the Elements are more "Spiritual" based. To summarise that: Physical < Spiritual]
"Huh," Kurat said before asking again, 'then, how could Celestia and Luna use the Elements?'
[Simple: They are both Alicorns, which in nature makes them Close to Spiritual Beings. Celestia Controls the Sun, and Luna Controls the Moon. Since the Elements are Spiritual in nature, it only makes sense for them to be able to wield them, but would lose their connection slowly when proper Elements of Harmony Users appear, which are the Mane 6. And you remember Season 1, Episode 2, right? They intended to "Defeat" Nightmare Moon, by sending her to the moon once again, but instead, they purified her soul, killing off most of Nightmare Moon, leaving a weakened Luna, and as a bonus, the Elements healed Luna]
'Okay… back to my first Question: Won't I be immune to the Elements?'
[In short: Yes. So here's my advice: Pretend to be affected, and when the smoke appears or a bright light, switch places fast. And if you're worried about that… don't think about it too much, it would only be a distraction, especially for when we need to perform the whole thing. Is my explanation satisfactory to you?]
'Yeah, thanks for telling me. And how did you put all that together? You and I share the same memories, so how?' Kurat wondered.
[Yet again, simple: When I first analysed the Elements, I didn't have enough power at the time to fully understand it, but I did analyse it, fully. And overtime, I slowly gained more power to do so, and that is how I know… I also crossed references to all your MLP FanFictions… some are quite good, I am not going to lie there]
'Well, again, thanks for telling me Adam!' Kurat also stopped in front of the Mayor's Office Building.
Kurat looked forward and sighed deeply, "welp… let's go!" He said, entering the building…
…..
Kurat skipped the receptionist as he saw her asleep on the counter. 'Poor Mare… must have overworked herself again…' he kept going forward…
He arrived at Mayor Mare's door, and was about to enter when Adam asked something.
[Before you go in there, just keep this in mind: Do not make any small talk, just get the house and go]
'Right! No talking! Get house! And fu*k off!' He pushed open the doors.
[*Sighs*]
[I did not say the last part…]
Mayor Mare greeted Kurat, "ah! Hello Kurat, what can I do for you?"
"I'm here to tell you…" he opened his pocket dimension, shocking Mayor Mare. He took out his bag of Bits and placed them on her desk, "I got the required 350 Bits," he moved them closer, "right here!"
Mayor Mare stared a bit at the money before taking it out, doing a double count before confirming the payment. "I already had your home built as I got some… info on you being a hard worker for Applejack, even taking late shifts. You could've bought the house months ago… but you went to Sugar Cube Corner and decided to treat yourself, correct?" She raised one eyebrow at him.
"Hehe… how do you know all that?" Kurat asked, still a bit nervous…
"Don't ask questions you don't want answers to." She said, as she slid a pair of keys to Kurat, along with a piece of paper, "these are your house keys, these are the deeds to your home. Do not, lose them, the deeds I mean. If you lose your keys, you may come back and ask me for another pair." She said to Kurat.
Kurat stared at the items for a second before levitating them into his pocket dimension, closing it. "Thanks Mayor Mare! But… Can you tell me where my home is?" He knew his Zoro-Navigation would somehow take him to Canterlot without knowing.
"Ah right, your home is here." She took out a map and pointed at where his house was. Kurat stared at the Map, seeing his home near Sugar Cube Corner… he-he grinned manically that day.
"Oh, hohoho! Thank you Mayor Mare!" He hugged her, which made Mayor Mare blush. He took off, forgetting to close the door behind him…
Mayor Mare was left speechless at Kurat's actions.
*Giggles*
"Hmm, that stallion… always doing something unexpected." She got up and closed the door, before heading back to her desk and keeping back her map.
"Hmm… I wonder if he's single… probably not…" she puts her thoughts aside as she continues doing her paper work…
…..
We see Kurat walking through Ponyville, practically skipping actually. He was filled with joy after obtaining his new house!
Many Ponies saw him, some waved at him, some got happy just looking at him…
(I FEEL A SONG COMING UP!!!)
We see Kurat stop his skipping. He started to walk slowly, and then…
(Song Start: Song Title: My New Purpose!)
Music Play in the background when Adam and Kurat unconsciously used (Unique Skill: Music)
Kurat was seen prancing through Ponyville, in style~
Kurat: "I! Am about to find! My new home! In this pony life!"
He says as he walks past a group of ponies, who smile back at him.
Kurat: "I! Will find! My pur-pose, in this awesome life!"
Background Singers: "We shall find our perfect place! In this Pony Life~"
Background Singers + Kurat: "And when the music stops, we sing-it again! Sing it 'till we find~"
Kurat: "My new purpose, in-this crazy life! Is gonna be soo BRRRIIGGHHTTT!!!"
Kurat: "My new purpose, in-this Pony life! Is gonna Shine soo BRRRIIGGHHTTT!!!"
Kurat pauses, he turns around and sees some more ponies gathered behind him, then re realises that the background singers weren't from his skill, but from them.
Some drums can be heard.
Then the music plays again!!!
Background Singers: "We shall find our perfect place! In this Pony Life~"
Background Singers + Kurat: "And when the music stops, we sing-it again! Sing it 'till we find~"
Kurat: "SING IT 'TILL WE FIND!!!"
Background Singers + Kurat: "Our new purpose, in this life! Will be an awesome ride! And when the music stops, we sing-it again! Sing it 'till we find!!!"
Background Singers + Kurat: "Our new purpose, in this world! Will be a hectic ride! And when the music stops, we sing-it again! Sing it 'till be find!!!!"
Ending of the song is coming up, so the ending music is played. Some Guitars and Drums play in the background, which hyped Kurat up even more!
Kurat: "This new purpose, in this life! My pride won't be un-done!
Music slowly dies out~
Kurat: "And when I stop to think about my crazy life, it's gonna be…"
Kurat: "It's gonna be…"
Background Singers + Kurat: "IT'S GONNA BE!!!!!"
The last line is said, and loud dramatic music is played~
Background Singers + Kurat: "IT'S GONNA BE ONE HECTIC RIDE!!"
(Music Ends… Hope you liked this… I am not very good at making music…)
The Music stops, Adam deactivated the skill, and we see everypony start to walk away. Kurat was seen panting from all the singing.
"Woah… that…that was awesome!" He exclaimed!
[It sure was! And you sounded decent this time around]
'Hoo~ is my skill lying to me right now?' Kurat teased him.
[WHA-I AM NOT! I DON'T EVEN BENEFIT FROM DOING SO!!]
"…"
'But you are-' Adam cuts him off.
[NO I AM NOT! JUST-JUST GO INTO YOUR NEW HOME!!]
"Ah, Right!" Kurat took out his keys and uncooked his door, admiring his new home from the outside, 'yeah… I earned this…' he entered, closing the door behind him.
