"Aaaaah!" Bellesmith shot up, her brown eyes wide and brimming with tears. Her horn glowed brighter than the sun. The cap over the end of it was smoking. The arcane wires fused to the metal piece were burning red. "Mmmmff—Aaaugh!"
"I thought you pulled her out!" Dalton shouted, sweating in the pale managlow.
"We did!" one of two ponies garbed in white exclaimed. They rushed across the dimly lit chamber and huddled around her, grabbing her limbs and trying to hold her in the seat. "Her leylines are still fused!"
"Apply more buffers to the sphere divide!" Dalton exclaimed, passing beneath an illuminated sheet of glass. "We must get her out more slowly than this!"
"It's too late! She's cut off from the sequence—"
"We can't afford to lose another!" Dalton shouted, his wrinkled face awash in concern. "N-not at this rate of the subject's decay!"
"Hnnngh—Beloved!" Bellesmith sobbed, biting her lips until they bled. "I want to see him! Blessed Spark! Blessed Spark, save me!" She jerked back as a heavy spasm struck her.
"She's collapsing!"
"Detach her! Detach her!"
"Sir! The instruments—"
"I'll take the blame for whatever happens! Detach her now!"
The metal cap popped lose. A stub of a unicorn horn sparkled in the pale light. The arcane coils above Bellesmith hissed and buckled. Metal shards littered the floor.
She panted, her entire world shaking. Glancing around the dark room in a pale sweat, she saw flanks of silver metal. A box sat in a pedestal directly across from her, shimmering from a focus of magic beams. Beyond that hung a tall metal cylinder. With a mechanical hiss, the device sunk into the floor. Steam rose; so did her eyes. A translucent window stretched close to the ceiling. Dark equine shapes loomed, still and ominous.
"Hold my hooves, darling!" Dalton said. "You're going to be okay! I'm going to get you back to your husband..."
She gnashed her teeth. Her brown eyes shook, darted, and flickered red-on-yellow.
Then all turned dark.
This is NOT good...
Also, I'm loving all the links to Aaustraeoh. I'm beginning to think the stories are linked...
Yea so I'm pretty sure that by now this is a sequel to austreaoh just not going to hold my hopes up yet.
Hmm, I guess this is the place that is East of Silvadell where Equines use their own kind as slaves. All the memories are related to RD, so I imagine that they have her hooked up somewhere and are doing something (Blessed Spark, eh?). We shall see.
Oh no not red on yellow
Can't help but link "beloved" to Background Pony...
How the hay do you write so FAST! Jeez, you're... some sort of superhuman writing machine. I can't imagine.
I'm afraid all of your technology can't save her.
FUCKING DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD!
DICORD!!!!
Is this like Fallen, only with Discord instead of Azazel?
I just realized Beloved spark was a pony's name.
AUSTRAEOH CONNECTIONS! IT MIGHT BE A SEQUEL! HELL YEAH!
OH HELL NO!!!
DAMN YOU DISCORD

An interesting way of doing a continuation.
Love how you mess us around with all these common words that mean different things.
Welp. That makes things awkward. You know, if she's just gonna pass out and potentially die like that...
Overheating, buffers, sequence, decay, shards, pedestal, husband, dark.
IIIIIt'a Dashie's evaluation time!
So in this chapter, we learn a bit more. Whatever machine it was that Belle was hooked up to, it allows the user to tap into other ponies' spheres and view their lives. While using the machine, Belle must have accidentally come across Dash. Also, her red on yellow eyes at the end suggest that Discord may have partly travelled across the spheres and attacked her as well. That's...not good. These are my thoughts so far.
-MASH
Discord...
this is odd. is this what exists in the chaos realm? or is it what is trying to resuscitate dash.
[it this goes to scifi i will be really pissed off.]
Looks like Rainbow's in stasis.
I don't care what everyone says but Unicorns+Metals=Darkstinian for me.
Silly possibly wishful theory: these events are happening in a near future of Austraeoh inside Darkstine.
Did no one else realize that she doesn't have the Element of Loyalty to control her discording?
The world... It Must be Saved!! I hope Dashie's not dead. I know it's unlikely, but...
This is Australia...
Unicorns, advanced technology, leylines...
Darkstine? Is that you?
Oh, don't tell me that whatever is affecting Rainbow Dash is now affecting Bellesmith. Imma be madder den a mudderfugger if she be afflicted by de Dizcurd.
huh. so is this like in Inception, where ponies come to relive dreams of that which they can't have?
Oh sh*t. Discord can travel through spheres.
It seems that Rainbow will be getting a companion. Lonely is no longer a word.
No.
Nonononono.
Discord is taking her over now. Not again!
*gasp* A straight ship? What is this madness?
So it spreads... Not good.
2029649 I dont think so. theyre not talking in calculation mode
I think this experiment im guessing inadvertantly inflicted that mare with chaos. cause from what i understand, chaos infects like a disease...
could this be the culprit from Rainbow Dash's affliction?? O_O
I feel like I'm reading one of those movies with a lot of scientific mambo jumbo like in Avengers or something

Especially since Discord is involved...
First thought was Darkstinian, but the speech patterns aren't Spock enough. Is Belle's horn broken? Cause that's hardly ever been a good thing. And, of course, when Discord's involved, looking into other ponies' lives leaves a bit of them within you...
Leylines... Are these the alicorns that formed the barriers around the world that Whitemane spoke of?
"She loves her beloved"
I'll need to find out later when Background pony was written to see if it was in conjunction with this story.
Hey, you know the feel when you read your posts on fb or someshit from long, long ago and you just wanna stop existing because the cringe is too strong?
Because I'm surprised, I actually enjoy reading my old comments here...
The subject's decay?
... just where is Rainbow?
Oh SHIT!
Someone is playing with fire, hope they don't get burned

For some reason I'm picturing the game Outlast now.

Hmmmmmmmm
Oh goody, glad we're jumping headfirst into the glorious past time of both fucking around and promptly finding out.
