//------------------------------// // Dimensional Warfare // Story: Son of Chaos // by twow443 //------------------------------// Chapter 9-Dimensional Warfare With a jolt, I opened my eyes. Last thing I remembered was being in the library, and then darkness. I needed to get a grip of my surroundings, so I tried my hardest to focus myself. The first thing I noticed was the sky. It was black, but thick ribbons of multicolored lights raced across the sky. I looked down and saw that I was on a huge flat rock face. I was near the edge of it, so I looked over the side. “Oh, that's bad.” I gasped. Underneath the platform there was nothing but darkness. “Where in Equestria am I? Or, am I even on Equestria anymore?” My thinking was cut short as in a burst of purple light, Twilight appeared at the middle of the platform, floating above the ground. Her eyes were closed and she was wearing the Element of Magic “Twilight!” I yelled, trotting closer to her. “Where are we?” Twilight opened her eyes. They were pure white orbs, like she was unitizing the full power of her element. “An alternate dimension. I came here by accident one time when I was trying out a new teleportation spell.” She looked at me, causing me to shudder. “And now, this is going to be your resting place, forever.” “Little dramatic, are we Twi?” I asked nervously. “Guess what, I wasn't joking.” Twilight said. Then I knew why she had brought me here. “You brought me here to kill me? Why didn't you just attack me in Ponyville?” I asked. Twilight smiled. “Because now I don't have to hold back.” Oh yeah. I was in trouble. The most powerful unicorn in Equestria was about to kill me. I had only one option. I didn't need to beat her. I needed to outlast her. Twilight's crown started glowing bright. It started shooting star-like projectiles at me. I started running in circles around the unicorn, avoiding the stars. I risked a quick glance behind me and saw that wherever one of the stars had landed, they exploded and caused a crater. Knowing that I wasn't winning, I stopped running and jumped straight up. True to form, Twilight shot a star at me. I landed and ducked over it and started charging a spell. Twilight launched another spell at me, but I had completed my spell. It was a mirror spell and effectively rebounded the star back at Twilight, hitting her. Unfortunately for me, the star was strong enough to break my spell and send me flying. I landed on my side, skidding along the ground. I quickly rolled over and looked towards where I last saw Twilight. She was no longer floating, but her eyes were still white. She stomped her hoof and created a giant icicle from the earth. It disappeared and suddenly dozens of icicles came rushing toward me. Instantly I shifted into Rainbow and took off. Twilight simply made the icicles fly out of the ground and chase after me. I gasped and flew straight up, the razor sharp icicles flying after me. “Okay, so if Discord gave me chaos, Celestia should have given me a little power of the sun.” I thought. “If not, this is gonna hurt!” I turned around and fell downwards, towards all the icicles that were about to impale me. I needed to fly while casting magic, so I decided to experiment. Shifting back to my unicorn form, I focused on wings. Whenever I shifted into a pony that didn't exist, I had to envision it. I focused on dark blue wings on my back. My back started itching horribly, and then two wings emerged. I was an alicorn. I needed to hurry. Not only were the icicles rising up to me faster and faster, being an alicorn was draining me extremely quickly. Concentrating, I made my horn start glowing yellow. I could feel it heating up. Suddenly, balls of heated yellow light shot out of my horn and evaporated the icicles. I was actually using the power of the sun! I stopped the spell when there was only one icicle left. I also shifted back into Rainbow and shot downwards toward Twilight. I slammed onto the ground next to the unicorn. She turned towards me, about to cast a spell when the one icicle that I didn't burn slammed into her tail, pinning her to the ground. She screamed in pain, sending a shockwave of energy so strong it drained all of my energy. I fell to the ground, exhausted. Twilight was still in shock from the icicle slamming though her tail, so I took that time to reach out and absorb the pure rage that was flowing from her. I perked up, just in time to duck a fireball. “Enough of this!” Twilight yelled. Her horn started sparking blue. Frightened, I looked around but I didn't have an idea of what to do. Then lightning shot from the horn and slammed into my chest. “AHHHHH!!!” The searing pain lanced though me. My chest felt on fire and I couldn't feel my hooves. Suddenly I was flashed back to three months ago. Trapped in that basement, no where to run... “NO!” I managed to yell. Fighting though the pain, I moved my head so the lightning would hit my horn. And you think that the pain when the lightning hit my body was bad, think about what it felt when it hit my HORN. My body convulsed on the ground. I was rolling back and forth, trying to control myself. I had to time this just right. As my head snapped back and my horn lined up with Twilight's body, I also cast a lightning spell. Because it was the same spell as Twilight was using, it pushed the lighting away from me and towards her. I gave it an extra push, and the lightning shot into her. A flash of blue light appeared by Twilight and she rocked back on her hooves. I quickly absorbed some of Twilight's rage that I had stored in my necklace and fueled myself up. Still extremely unsteady, I ran towards Twilight. As I ran, I shifted into Big Mac. “Sorry about this, Twi!” As I reached her, I turned and lashed out with my back hooves, bucking her in the forehead. Twilight fell over backwards and the rock we were on started shaking. The sky above us shattered into pieces, exposing blue underneath. I felt a falling sensation as everything disappeared again. . . . As I started to put the pieces of my eyesight back together, I saw that I was back in Twilight's house. I was lying on my stomach across from Twilight. She was unconscious. Rarity, Applejack and Spike were trying to wake her up. I didn't have much time. If they saw me awake, well, I don't think that I could handle talking to them right now. “Will she be okay?” Rarity asked. Spike shook his head, “She shook be. Look at her head though.” “It's like mah brother bucked her right in the forehead!” Applejack said. Dang. They weren't giving me enough emotions to gain enough energy to use magic. So, I did something I had told myself that I would never do. I reached into Rarity's soul and stole some of her anger. Immediately I felt better. I removed my mind from her soul instantly. I stood up and backed off. Rarity noticed me moving and said, “Don't you move!” “I'm so sorry.” I whispered. “I'll fix all of this, I promise!” Applejack dashed toward me, but I cast a random teleportation spell and disappeared. . . . Sweetie Belle was on her way to the CMC clubhouse in the afternoon. She had planned to meet Scootaloo and Apple Bloom there to hang out. When she got there she thought she heard, crying? She climbed up into the clubhouse, and saw a changeling sitting in the corner, weeping. “Shade? Is that you?” He looked up and she saw his eyes dilate. “Sweetie? I'm sorry. Just..just let me stay here for a little bit and I'll leave...”he stammered. Sweetie looked into his eyes. She sadness and helplessness in his eyes. She jumped out of the clubhouse, to return five minutes later with a blanket. She spread the blanket over Shade. He looked at her gratefully. Sweetie put her hoof over his mouth. “Get some rest Shade. We'll talk later.” The tired changeling closed his eyes and fell asleep. Sweetie looked at him for a little while, then curled up next to him. She sighed and shut her eyes, deciding to stay with him for the night.
