I got back to the barn and saw Applejack there. "Hey, Applejack!" I called out to her. "Oh, howdy Hidden." She replied. "So, where does my work begin?" I asked. "don't worry about that for now, I'll give you a little grace period. 'Till tomorrow in evening." She told me. "Thanks. I'm going to go off to bed." "Alright, the barn is all made for you, g'night." She said. "Good night." I said going into the barn. It was pretty nice with a bed made.
I jumped into the bed and prepared myself for sleep. I fell asleep, but I was disturbed by a flashing red light. I glanced down and saw my watch was bleeping, it was about to run out of power! I started programing it to change me back. I hit the button and right before it could, it died. At that point I was no match for Kram if he was to find me. My technology is gone. I feel...powerless. Its over, how can I do this, how can I defend without anything. And with those thoughts I fell asleep.
I woke up in the morning to see Applejack there with pancakes. "Good mornin, Hidden." She said. "Made you some breakfast." I glanced at the pancakes. "Thanks." I replied. I ate the pancakes and walked out of the barn. "What you up to today?" She asked. "I'm going to visit Twilight., see ya around." I said as I left. I was heading to Twilight's house and met Spike half way. "There you are. Twilight found a spell that could work, its the only one." He told me.
"Perfect." I replied. I needed this to work, I didn't care for my backup plan, I wanted, scratch that, needed to get home and get Kram. "It'll be one of the most complicated spells Twilight has ever done. But its gotta work." "Oh it better." I said. We got to the library. "have faith Hidden Blade." He said walking in and I followed. I saw many books scattered around, I didn't realize how much time and effort she would put into this.
"Perfect your here, I think I'm ready." Twilight said. "Good, good. Thanks for all this work." "Well I had to. I couldn't imagine being in a different dimension myself." She said. "Any ways here I go!" She aimed her horn in front of her. It sparked to life and shot a beam into the air. I knew she needed more power in order to break through the dimension. Then the light of her horn got a lot brighter and the beam became more intense.
Her facial expression showed that this took effort. Then the beam became very powerful, I saw a crack appear in the fabric of space. I couldn't look at her any more, she was too bright. "Give her some help." Spike told me pointing to my horn. "I, uh. Okay." I said, I have no idea how my horn works. I aimed at the spot she was and concentrated on my horn shooting a beam. But all that came out was a little zap that hit her beam.
Then the beam burst into little sparkles, and all that remained in that spot was a portal. I felt proud, I contributed. I wasn't sure if it was the right one until I heard a car horn and a screeching tires on the other side. That's it! That's my world!" I yelled excitedly. Twilight looked like she rain two marathons. "Whew, I did it." She was exhausted.
I went up to her and shook her hoof rapidly and then shook Spikes hand. "Thank you!" Is all I could say. I could go home. No doubt a mark clone has replaced me so no one would notice I'm gone. But I have to stop Kram. "Your welcome." She said. "I kinda have to go, so thanks for everything and see ya!" I said heading to the portal. I couldn't wait to get out of this pony body.
"Bye Hidden, good luck in your world." Twilight and Spike said waving good bye. "Bye." I said walking at the portal. I could smell my world, it wasn't as fresh as here, but still, it was home. I heard people yelling and I rolled my eyes, wait until they get load of me. I couldn't see the other side, but I knew it was there. That's when I felt it, that's was where my first step into my feelings began. I felt guilt.
It seemed wrong to just leave. Twilight and Spike did all that work, Applejack giving me a place to stay, Rarity fixing my mane, and Rainbow Dash with that mission. Who knows what other potential friends there were. And I was just leaving them, with Kram maybe. But...I have to. I have to, that's what I'm going to tell myself...I have to. I walked into the portal, I could see streets, cars, people freaking out over the fact of a portal.
I took a deep breath and walked in. Then all at once, the smell, the noise, and the sights of my home were gone. And I was staring at a book shelf. "Oh my. I'm so sorry. My magic isn't strong enough, I couldn't hold it open for somepony to pass through!" I heard Twilight say behind me. "Maybe we need some of his magic matter stuff." I heard Spike say.
I grinned. Fate, you are a tricky one. I was happy I got to stay, I don't know why, but I was. I turned around and said: "I'll need metal, lots of metal."
